Wow, only 2 days after the release of the 4.3 fw your first RomAur 4 - awesome!

Am I right, that the system mount problem r/o - r/w only belongs to the locked bl? In that case I'd say, it's time for unlocking...

Tomorrow I'll

1. flash and test the new version

2. send you a little paypal christmas gift :D

Ok, forget my question: The kernels you mentioned (respectively the linked thread to them) in the startpost under "unlocked bootloader" have Sony RIC disabled to avoid the mount problem ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] auras76:
yes,thanks
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yaabaa1986:
Only volume boost and battery % mod aren't in aroma.

To bad, don't like the big soft keys...

Beside that I really love it,

unlocked my bl finally, and I'm really happy...

Thanks

Hi Auras,

fantastic ROM and update as always :) Unlocking of bootloader, installation of ROM and kernel and subsequent kernel to allow mounting went without a problem whatsoever!! Everything appears to be working as it should and I'm happy we can now install custom kernels with unlocked bootloader and camera fixed. I was starting to lose faith in this phone, I imagine there will now be significant development going on all round.

Thanks again as always and I look forward to your future updates & work.

All the very best for the Christmas-New Year's period/break as well.

Cheers. :good:

Hi [MENTION=2112104]auras76[/MENTION],

Thanks man,

please consider a donation to this dev!!!

he is fast, precise and very good in this kind of stuff.

[MENTION=2112104]auras76[/MENTION] just a little question, is this room based on the vodafone uk? Because I'm getting 4:3 20mp pics in auto-mode.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] peteri8706:
[MENTION=389402]auras[/MENTION].

All going well, just getting one error on Google Play 'Error 920'. It won't update my apps, although all of them are installed?!?!?! Something I've done wrong perhaps? Would you know how to clear this - I've tried - clearing cache/dalvik -> didn't help, clearing play store's cache/data, and installing google play apk over the top of the current one - none of this worked. Any ideas?

EDIT:

Scrap this comment - this has nothing to do with the ROM at all, and not that I thought that it did either. I found the solution on the net. All good now. Cheers.

after unlocking the bootloader and installing this rom, does restoring the TA will get the camera working again?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] deconfrost:
restoring TA should solve it

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

are you using cwm or twrp? in twrp it went straight to reboot, in cwm it asked me on disable flash before reboot....
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slonn:
I used cwm.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] deconfrost:
trying again myself but forgot to copy the rom first so sideloading now :), find out in a minute

result

same thing, song logo, no vibration at all, just stuck, the flash went through in seconds thats another thing I noticed, so did it flash the rom at all? I didnt do a reboot, I powered of and boot straight in to flash mode, flashed kernel and thats it, time to flash stock and root and install cwm and restore again :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slonn:
Good luck. I had to download the latest firmware again and flash it. That all went well but for some reason I can root with Kingoapp anymore.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] deconfrost:
I flashed the stock firmware for the 5th times in the last 12 hours already :) with 8 hours of that being asleep :D lol

did kingo say failed or did you actually tried a root app and not working, kingo might say failed if you didnt hit grant permision in time when it testing for root, also if you have chinese in the root app popping up here or there I have a su_root.zip with superuser replaced for full english if you want it to replace the one in kingo folder.

just noticed you in dublin :) you only 80miles away :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slonn:
Heh... I have no desire to flash the stock firmware more than once. I just want to root so I can install the dual recovery and restore the backup I made before going on this little custom rom adventure. Kingo said "script error root failed" - the thing is that I don't get prompted for granting permission. The phone just restarts and Kingo fails. First time I rooted I also got an error message in Kingo but the phone still got rooted. Haven't tried any of the Chinese root methods yet. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with not wiping data when flashing the stock firmware.

I hope the dev gets the installation issues resolved. Looks like a useful rom :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] deconfrost:
it did work for some, but I don't know what bootloader they are on, yea I just want to restore my backup and be done for now :)

just ran in to same problem using kingo root, but vroot sorted it, installed cwm and restore my backup, it be back to normal english superuser after the restore anyway :)

fantastic, error restoring /system... errggg :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slonn:
I'll give vroot a go. hope I won't run into that restore error you get :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] sofir786:
Okay i am really struggling trying to get this installed. im already on .534 firmware, im rooted and got dual recovery installed from first post. i install rom via cwm which installs unusually quickly, not sure if its supposed to install that quick, i then reboot. it gets stuck on the sony logo, i then install the kernel from first post via flashtool and reboot, it still gets stuck on the sony logo. where am i going wrong? i dont want to keep flashing the firmware over and over again because this has not installed properly, any help would be appreciated :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] deconfrost:
yep thats exactly whats happening here, I don't think it was installed imo

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

I have 2 backups so I may try the other one, or try restore from twrp... :( finger cross, cwm has problem mounting system

flashing through sony update services instead of flashtool, see if that sort the kingo problem, and hopefully restore then
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] sofir786:
You just mentioned that cwm has issues mounting system, i think the system partition is not being installed when we flash the rom, because when you watch the aroma install, it just shows the apps being installed but not much else. im going to try installing via touch recovery see how that goes, if that fails then i give up, there must be a better way or clearer instructions on what to do here. has anybody succesfully installed this and what process did you follow?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] deconfrost:
to use kingo again successfully flash stock rom using sony update services
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slonn:
Ok, does that include wipe data?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] deconfrost:
yea Sony update wipes everything you cant say no to that :)

Didn't work, unfortunately. Same as last - doesn't get a pop up asking for permission. Phone just restarts but isn't rooted.

Download is unstable, going from 5 mins back up to 1 hour and then all inbetween, not sure if it's to do with traffic or not, just thought you should know.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Are you unlocked? If so, enable USB debugging, turn your phone off, hold volume down and plug in USB to computer, open flashtool, click the lightning bolt, click flash mode, click reboot into fastboot, flash kernel via fastboot, then flash philz recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] harfot:
Why not just following instructions? You have to flash it all over again.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] FiremakerP:
Backup anything you have and flash the ftf where you have been. After that flash your TA Backup.

Unlocked your bootloader with jb4.3?

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Crystylez:

Yeah my bootloader is unlocked.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Hate to say it but since Sony fixed the camera compatability in 4.3, your best bet at this point would be to unlock the bootloader. Just make sure you make a backup if you do go this route. I've done it and haven't regretted it yet. Makes things a hell of a lot easier.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DjTony90:
OK i backup my TA... i Unlock Bootloader, and now ? :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Crystylez:
What do i do, i still havnt got any signal. :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] peteri8706:
Installed Xposed framework, all working well.

Can't believe I was running without it! Love the mods, thanks to auras and those who responded, it's like it's opened a whole new level of modding around the ROM which I unintentionally overlooked. Cheers.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
enable USB debugging, turn your phone off, hold volume down and plug in USB to computer, open flashtool, click the lightning bolt, click flash mode, click reboot into fastboot, flash kernel via fastboot, then flash philz recovery.

After that, download the rom, flash through recovery, then immediately flash superSU update, then reboot.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Or philz. I prefer philz over cwm. I prefer twrp over them all but can't get it to work. You WILL have to download rom and place on internal storage cause recovery doesn't recognize the external for some reason.

There is no SuperSU Binary Installed, and SuperSU cannot install it...

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] AndroPlus:
Recovery is not only for installing, but also can delete files...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] peteri8706:
Ok, I have root access as I have unlocked BL. I have the same issue which was slightly fixed with Xposed using different signals, Kit Kat signal icons from memory.

If you delete the files from the system folder as you say, won't that break anything? Excuse my ignorance on this, just thinking if you delete a system file won't it affect the ROM?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] AndroPlus:
Carrier uses /system/vendor/overlay to add carrier specific settings for their bloatware,

so deleting overlay apks will not affect ROM itself.

If you like bloatware you shouldn't delete them, though...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] peteri8706:
I hate bloat with a passion! So if this gets rid of bloat and fixes the gap issue, I'm doing it in the next few minutes! :) Thanks for the explanation.

Maybe deleting "SystemUI-Overlay-***.apk" is enough for gap issue.
