No, not the auto-brightness checkbox. It's under Settings -> Display -> Optimised backlight (at the bottom of the page).

Or perhaps you are on the 257 firmware, and that option is not there anymore.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] xshunin:
Ah found it. I turned it on now. (That's what I was supposed to do?) I'll try rebooting tomorrow to test it. And then I'll hit your thanks button :3

Is there an explanation why this happens?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] hush66:
Yes, turning it on will shorten the bootup time. No one is sure why that's the case.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] xshunin:
Okay I did that now but now if I wake up the device from standby, it takes half a second longer for the lockscreen to appear and it also "removed" my folder contents of shortcuts o_o. Is that "normal" as well? Also my firmware is 14.1.G.1.534 German Z1 rooted with locked BL.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] druun:
dual boot Z1

Just to say.. I'm french so.. i try.

Install XZU V4 on my Z1 14.1.G.1.534

Work fine and the headset is ok.

I made a backup and restore.. Great!

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] El Presidente81:
It's been a while since I've used a device with an SD Card slot, so I was on autopilot and just backed up to whatever the default location in CWM was. I now appear to have lost about 2GB of internal memory.

There's nothing in CWM Backup folder and aside from the deezer folder, I can't see any folder using more than a circa 100MB data.

Am I missing something or is this a known bug? (Sorry not getting the search thread option in either this or the download thread so can't see if I'm the only one who's having the issue).

Want the log files? I've rebooted a couple of times and flashed the monx ROM since I backed up so not sure if they'd still be relevant?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] 301stSpartan:
Is there a blobs folder in the CWM folder? Try this app, it will graphically show you folder sizes for everything and makes it very easy to track down where your memory is being used: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] El Presidente81:
Gotcha! Found it. :)

There was a clockworkmod folder in emulated/0 which had nothing in it.

However, using the diskusage app, I found another one in data/media/clockworkmod.

That's where the phantom 2GB "disappeared" to.

Thank you for the help, very much appreciated.

So this cannot be installed then after upgrading the firmware .257 even though you are rooted?

All is get are adb issues when I select the install.bat file.

Any help please.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] gregbradley:
you should be able to.

I have it installed on .257
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ptoner:
Tried installing on two PC's and get the screen errors int he attached image.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

I gather its to do with the UNC path... How do I resolve this?

EDIT

Sorry, worked out that the path was not correct. Using a Mac with Parallels and Win7 has its own path issues.

Just needed to copy the folder from the Macintosh partition to the windows C drive. Everything worked like a charm! :)

Try Xperia X version for tablet X, should work afaik :)

Guys I need help. I extracted the zip onto my desktop in a folder and then ran the bat file.. It says in the first lines of step 2 rm failed and at the last step in step 3 rm failed... Then when I try entering recovery at start by holding down volume keys nothing happens... What is wrong?

Edit: Installed it but TWRP not seeing SD card... I can't select it at all.. I try selecting CWM on restart by pressing volume button up but goes to TWRP...

Yeah, ASAP, but I still have no Z1 or ZU to actively debug the issue...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ptoner:
Thanks for getting back to me. Feel your pain Nut. Hope you get a handset sooner rather than later.

Ps, installed monxDIFIED and it's over written dual recovery. I use CWM for my recoveries and TWRP is set to default. Do I just flash it again?

Yeah, that should be fine :)

I am block on my try to do a working kexec, so, i have a few time to try to fix time issu with dualrecovery

I have try something, but i don't have test everything

So, be carrefull..

Here, a CWM-TWRP zip patch to flash, to install a fix about time issu on dualrecovery :

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2371626&stc=1&d=1383609518

The fix work for CWM and TWRP both. (enter in a recovery, and flash the zip file)

and here, the full installer :

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2371630&stc=1&d=1383609612

Say us if backup, and

restore

work for you.

No more time issus in my tests...

I simply reload time_daemon on the "dualrecovery.sh" script, but kill daemon in recovery(s) themself...

So, no 40 sec reboot, time ok, and no lock on system (if i have test correctly)

Have fun...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] slonn:
I seem to have lost recovery and when trying to install it again it doesn't stick. When the phone reboots it doesn't boot into recovery. Not sure why that is. Hopefully someone can help. Here's a screenshot of the installation message: https://db.tt/SDFgFLOW

The phone is running rooted stock .257

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] [NUT]:
Hmm... it seems not to be using busybox to do the installation but toolbox (android's own busybox tool), which somehow is not performing the tasks... usually it means it was not able to remount /system ... the error message it throws 'Toolbox!' is a bit ambiguous for this...

Remount system and the ramdisk by hand in 'android terminal emulator' by typing this:

su
mount -o remount,rw /
mount -o remount,rw /system

Then try to install it again.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] slonn:
That doesn't work, unfortunately. There is no error message, but it still doesn't install the recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] [NUT]:
:confused:
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] slonn:
Yup, odd it is. I tried doing a complete reinstall of the rom, in this case Monx rom and then flashed the recovery. This time the phone went into a constant reboot after showing the XPERIA splashboot.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] gregbradley:
Doesn't that ROM come with a preinstalled recovery anyway? If so why are you trying to flash another one...That may be the issue
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] slonn:
Doubt it. I flashed the TWRP recovery that came with the rom. Flashing the recovery on .536 right after having rooted the device works fine. But then when I flash the stock rooted rom or Monx rom I lose recovery. It doesn't matter if it's the dualrecovery or TWRP recovery that I flash, the phone either doesn't recognise the recovery or goes into bootloop.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] gregbradley:
Reading the changelog says it comes with TWRP, so there is no need to flash another recovery.

I understand if you want to change recovery, but it comes with one anyway.

Edit

This is taken from the flashing instructions of monx rom

So its not surprising flashing a different recovery results in a bootloop.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ptoner:
I flashed dual recovery with no issues. As i dont use TWRP but CWM, so my old recoveries would not work. Ps the time repair flash did not work for me on dual recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] slonn:
Even if I flash the recommended TWRP it goes into a bootloop

Sendt fra Z1
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] gregbradley:
OK, now this seems to be getting off the dual recovery topic then. I suggest you take the issue up with the dev as it seems it ANY recovery that causes the problem, not just this one.

I do hope you get sorted though.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] delewer:
To help a little i have try with simple flashable zip to install dualrecovery from a recovery.

And from this to install recovery from "Flash Gordon" (CWM installer from android home)

But "Flash Gordon" can't flash.

Nevertheless, flashable zip work, so i have reinstall my rom (without dualrecovery), and, at the end, while i was in the recovery, i flash with this zip dualrecovery to keep recovery without PC and root issus.

So, it's a an alternative to keep recovery after to flash a rom to prevent this type of issu (install issu).

Here, DualRecovery flashable Zip installer.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2375710&stc=1&d=1383772539

This zip have the "time_daemon" fix, so be carrefull

If you want, i can do same zip without the fix.

Hope it help a little...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ZeneticX:
may i know how do i uninstall this recover and revert back to stock recovery? because i'm thinking it might be then reason why my OTA update keeps failing to install

Please can i one make it ???
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] delewer:
I have see my error, i fix, thx for your help.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ikenley:
Not a problem, happy to test again when you've updated it.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ZeneticX:
so before flashing to this dual recovery, what recovery is sony using? CWM ?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] gregbradley:
Let me repeat my last post

There is no stock recovery on Sony phones.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] [NUT]:
None, no recovery, nada, nothing, zilch, zero...

Quoted for truth. Period.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] delewer:
I have change completly the zip

Now, it work well

I have only patched TWRP recovery with "time_daemon" to let CWM untouched, if needed...

This Zip must to be flash by recovery... bla bla bla... after a rom flash to keep recovery after reboot..

1/ Flash a rom without recovery in.

2/ Don't reboot !!

3/ Flash this Zip to keep recovery

4/ Reboot... At first reboot, CWM is lauched... I don't know if it's really needed, but I let do it like from PC install

5/ Reboot

If it's fully OK, i create a V3 to install "time_daemon" in CWM and let install with no CWM reboot (NUT, please tell me if it's unnedded, thx ;) )

Fully OK means no system lock caused by "time_daemon" lock on file system.

Thx again to give us a wonderfull tool for locked bootloader !

And explain issu if you want some help.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] [NUT]:
[MENTION=4225567]delewer[/MENTION], please do create the v3, I still have no z1 or ZU to test on... So practically I would be flying blind if I want to support it...

When i press the go button from the update centre the phone reboots and it starts to flash the update and I could see the progress bar the progress goes till the half bar and the phone reboots and the phone boots again into. 534 and gives me error could not install the update
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] delewer:
I have had the exactly same issu, and no solution for that, so i have install Romaur to test .254 rom

It is not a Dualrecovery issu, so stop to post here.

Post in QA thread if someone have solve this.

For information, it's not a driver issu, but may be a sony update center issu with country distribution.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] chubby65:
You need to uninstall recovery to install the ota

After ota has installed then you have to Flash recovery again
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] gregbradley:
I don't think you do.

But as has been said, this is not a discussion for this thread. It should be asked in Q&A
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] chubby65:
Fair enough mate but that was the only way i could install the ota

[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] [NUT]:
[MENTION=359211]gregb[/MENTION]radly, this is the v3 he is referring to.

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] I'll be releasing my trial versions this week, maybe next weekend. I'll make sure CWM will be usable too.

This test version will also have PhilZ Touch Recovery, a touch edition of CWM.

Mention system is weird... At least in the xda app...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] gregbradley:
Don't know how I missed that one, must have skim read it,

Thanks

PS, I have had issues still restoring from Philz backups and from mounting system in CMW on your tests. Please get me in hangouts again to continue testing. :)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] [NUT]:
Yes it does.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jagdesh:
Downloading the V2 as mentioned in the above post, will flash and report.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] galeonui9590:
This recovery is touch or untouch recovery?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] [NUT]:
TWRP is touch, CWM is still the non-touch version, as soon as I take over maintenance, it will contain PhilZ Touch version of CWM.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] gregbradley:
it has versions of both.

Cmw (Non touch)

TWRP (With touch)

The next release will have Philz recovery which is CMW based and has touch.

EDIT

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] you beat me by seconds
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jagdesh:
Flashed V2 using old V1 CWM recovery and it worked like a treat.

The SD card not detecting in TWRP is fixed and the backup time and date has also been fixed on CWM

Thanks a lot Devs it's working great.

Now if we can get the v2 in form of self installing. Exe like we have v1 right now which we can install from Windows directly. This way we don't have to first install v1 and then upgrade to v2 using recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] gregbradley:
Cmw touch version

Hi,

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] has been doing a lot of development on a Z1 dualrecovery script that is fully functional, but whilst he has still not got a Z1 (Please consider donating to him so he can get one) he has been asking me to do a lot of testing.

In doing so I now have a functional dualrecovery based on the previous work here by [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] [MENTION=4225567]delewer[/MENTION] that has a TOUCH version of CMW (v6.0.4.5) as well as the touch version of TWRP

Working

Backup and restore

adb shell

adb sideload

The only thing I find that is broken is the time_daemon in CMW (For some reason it seems to work in TWRP)

Anyway, I have repackaged the latest touch version of CMW into [MENTION=4225567]delewer[/MENTION] flashable package and its here for you to flash in recovery.

DOWNLOAD HERE

DualRecovery-CMWTouch.zip - 5.54 MB

This certainly is not my work (I have just been testing) so credits to the above.

Please rest assured that [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] is working

hard

to get the Z1 specific script to work (I know, the testing has bricked my Z1 a lot over the past week :D ) and when he has done it, it will be good. (Including Philz recovery which is a CMW based touch recovery with lots more options and a far better UI IMHO)

Look out for rainbow mode in the touch version of CMW ---- (Get into it by swiping the screen up and down several times from the reboot system option)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jagdesh:
This recovery which has be uploaded now. Is this the same as delewer v2 dual recovery which he uploaded some posts ago? I mean the recovery which delewer had said is v3 and it was actually uploaded as v2.

Is there any change in yours and his v2 recovery?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] gregbradley:
Yes, please read my post again....
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jagdesh:
Thanks got it
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Nagato Yuki:
Well, I have no idea about where I could get the latest workable DR for my Z1 (not Z of course) since [NUT] takes over the maintenance.

I tried to install the DR by using this from [NUT]'s site after rooting my phone:

Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.36-BETA.windows.zip (8.29MB)

But I could never enter TWRP recovery, it just holds the SONY logo.

I could get into CMW, but then I could never install packages on my (external) SD card (formatted in ex-FAT), never mount my USB sticks (formatted in FAT32).

Would anyone re-organized the information (create new topic or edit the topic) about installing DR for Z1?

(At this moment, I have to go back krabappel2548's DR v4 till these question get clear)

And anyone could create uninstall scripts for DR?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] gregbradley:
Install this

then flash the touch version after completing the installation
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Nagato Yuki:
Oh, Then I should go back from krabappel2548's DR v4 lol

But what about [NUT]'s site one? Is that file not for Z1 or just for testing? ( Then what about the last reply "take over maintenance" mean at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2426739 )

Well, which package the "touch version" refer to ? Is it the reply #321 one?

Then would you tell me the improvement between "touch version" and krabappel2548's DR v4?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] gregbradley:
no, that's the link I posted, if you are on that already there is no need to flash it again

The one in my post where I say I put the touch version in it with the link in the same post...(Post # 321)

Its got a touch version...

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]

I am going to try hard not to let this DEVELOPMENT thread turn into a Q & A thread, so please can you PM me with any questions relating to the post #321 about the touch version. Please leave this thread for discussion about Z1 DR only...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] [NUT]:
Sorry for the confusion folks, the package on my site for the Z1 is actually an early 'alpha' which was not announced for release because it is a version for the testers, like gregbradly, to test my pre-release packages. The one on my site clearly still has issues, so please do NOT use it!

As I said on my development thread before, I currently have issues with my development machine, so development has been halted until it gets fixed...

Question. Where do the CWM Recovery files save on the internal memory when you create a backup?

It shows me them in the internal memory when I hit restore, but I cannot find them in ES File Explorer, I want to move them to my SD Card.

Any help would be massively appreciated.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] gregbradley:
CMW saves them in a folder called clockworkmod and TWRP saves them in a folder called TWRP

You can, however, just do the backup to the ext card by choosing that option in CMW
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Mobfigurz:
This is the issue I am having, when I enter the clockworkmod folder, and check the backup folder, there is nothing there, yet I know there are two backups, as CWM shows me them when I choose restore in recovery.

Update: This gets better, using ES File Explorer, I type in a search of clockworkmod and it only finds one folder with that name, the one I created on the SD card, yet in the actual CWM recovery, it shows me two previous backups I made before I put the SD card in, on the internal memory. But where the hell are they? Interesting indeed.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] gregbradley:
Use root explorer and look in data/media and data/media/0 for the clockworkmod folders

;)

That's the path they are using, just choose to make the backup on the external card in future
