Hi guys today I've tried again. I downloaded ROM again, yesterday I've installed NUT's .681 and over that(full wipe) I've flashed romaur in twrp recovery. Than flashed dualrecovery and kernel in flash tool and.. It's working! :) maybe it was corrupted zip archive I don't know but I'm happy RomAur user now;)

One thing is actually not working exactly its performance control. When I tap on it in settings I get FC... Ive seen that some people had similar problem. Is there any fix for that? Its not essential feature for me so its doesn't bother me so much. But anyway thanks for great work! ;)

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

In the following guide I suggest you use an external SDCard

Download C6903_14.3.A.0.681 Rom

Save them somewhere you remember on (the external) SDcard1; Put C69XX_14.3.A.0.681_Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;

Create a backup of your phone in TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard'

1)Flash C69XX_14.3.A.0.681Rom in TWRP;(wipes recommend)

2)Flash the recovery zip file or you will end up without a recovery.(http://nut.xperia-files.com)

3)do not reboot and go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off phone

Flash 'C69XX_14.3.A.0.681_Stripped.ftf' using flashtool;

Reboot to system and enjoy

Before flashing v6.2 I was on V5 so believe when I say it can be done just follow procedure.

RomAur V6.2 LB

XZDualRecovery 2.7.100 beta
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RealisticRealisations:
So it turns out my sound issue was with the expanded volume control module within the Xposed framework.

ROM is perfect with no crashes or issues. One small bug I've found is the dedicated camera button doesn't seem to work as intended. It won't open any app and won't take a picture when camera is open. However, assuming you try using the button in the camera and then close and reopen the camera it will instantly take a photo without you telling it to. Other than, five out of five stars. Runs like a charm.

any one can help me plz, with this rom i have always a problem with call history, it still always clean !!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lbaquerizo:
Woa Woa I have been reading all the post and people are having problems facing different issues on the same product. So my conclusion is that people before flashing the new version do not do dirty flash. Do a clean install and everything it's gonna be fine and please read before posting cause sometimes you ask for something that has been answered.

Just because it worked for you it doesnt mean it does for everyone. Like Simow I flashed 6.2 several times, with different methodes, recoverys and so on...

Only way for us was to "dirty" flash from 6.1. Point.

No offense, but thats a fact, since we both spent lots of time trying hard.

Haven't had any of the installation issues, but I have experienced the "bug" where my notifications are coming out of call speaker and not the loud speaker. This isn't anything to do with your specific Rom, many people experience this on the new kitkat Roms

Saw that thread as well, unfortunately this rom doesn't even come with Smart Connect, so I'm not sure their solution will work.

I've messed around with the build.prop changes and will see if it fixes it. Seems there are mixed reports about one solution working and not the other and vice versa.

Amazing Rom

LB RomAur v6.2

Thanks a lot
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RealisticRealisations:
Alright so I've been playing with the ROM for a good day and a bit now.

Runs smooth as butter and looks as great as a morning sunrise.

However, these is a massive problem with the camera.

For one, no SuperiorAuto (even when using the Xposed module) means the phone's camera is no better than a ****ty Samsung.

Secondly, it doesn't focus at all. No autofocus, no manual focus. It's constantly out of focus and looks like ****. No way to change it.

Thirdly, IT DOESN'T TAKE ANY PICTURES OR VIDEOS. The whole point of the camera is to be able to do these functions. Now though, whenever the shutter button is pressed it just lights up as if you were taking a picture and does nothing.

Fourth, but least important is that the dedicated camera button doesn't do anything.

I didn't dirty install and have reflashed it several times on UB.

Running Doomkernel with a .254 baseband (have used all different basebands though including the stock KK one, am also having a bluetooth issue that is addressed in the baseband).

Flashed the KK FTF, flashed DK, installed ROM (wiped absolutely everything). Shouldn't be having these issues at all.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] McT1980:
I got the same camera problems and was just about to post this myself. No focus, if i try to take a picture either with the camera button or on screen button the phone locks itself and i have to use the on/off button to get out of it. Part from that the rom rocks!

Flashed dooms kernel and installed on a clean system and all that stuff!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RealisticRealisations:
Glad to see I'm not the only one with these problems. I never tried with 6.1 so I can't speculate on whether it's a ROM problem or something else.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DEC0NFR0ST:
Anyone flashed 6.2 over 6 without wipe? Dont really want to go setup everything again for the 4th times since KK was out :D.

For all with camera not focus on ub try this:

Flash kk ftf with flashtool and excluding ta.

Reboot.

Reboot on fastboot and flash doom kk kernel.

Install romaur v6.2 with full wipe.

Done.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] auras76:
You can flash over v6 without full wipe.

Thanks, but I flashed the kernel from step 11 (11 - Install Kernel.sin .257 c6903 with flashtool) and I have a C6903 device... Just did it again, same result... Camera not working. Weird stuff.

Will try the more stock rom also posted...

*Edit* Tried twice with stock from here; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2440408

And that works fine, every attempt with RomAur results in non-working camera. Tried with and without custom softbutton dpi, advanced power menu... No clue what's causing it :/
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] sofir786:
Hey there, successfully installed latest romaur rom with no camera issues at all. These are the steps i took:

1. Make sure you have the latest version of Flashtool (0.9.13.0).

2. Flash a .534 firmware (this is the one i used C6903 14.1.G.1.534 Generic UK 1276-0875_R9A)

3. Once your all up and running you need to root your device, i used Kingo root but you can use vroot aswell.

4. Now install follow instructions and install dual recovery.

5. Once you have recovery boot into cwm and do all the wipes(data.system,cache).

6. Install Rom but do not reboot.

7. Using advanced menu in cwm power off phone.

8. Using flashtool flash kernel and baseband file from 1st post.

9. Turn the phone on and test.

Thats exactly what i did and everything is hunky dory for me. Great rom.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dagrim1:
Cheers, but followed the exact same steps and no focussing (or picture making) camera for me :/ As mentioned, following the same steps with the stock deodexed rom posted in another thread works fine... Perhaps a LB/UB thingie (or caused by one of the customizations?). Locked Bootloader here as well.

Ah well, had a good practise in flashing, rooting and all that ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] guddu2011:
i think u lost your drm keys.

if u have backed it up before u can restore it.

if not, then buddy sorry to say... NO CAMERA FOR U UNTIL SONY FIXES THE BUG
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dagrim1:
It's not that either (thought that as well, even though I haven't unlocked my bootloader). I do have a backup of the TA partition so I actually restored that, no luck...

And as mentioned, the stock one from this thread DOES work: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2440408

So I now do have a rooted .257

It's really something with the RomAur rom. I'm now waiting until dualrecovery is released for .257 so I can make a backup, perhaps I will try some more after that (had enough runs of going through the entire 'flash -> root -> install recovery -> install rom -> install kernel -> setup phone' cycles yesterday already ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DAddYE:
I've the TA and restored it, still not working.

As others said flashing this everything then works fine.

Also, how is possible wipe TA without unlocking?

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] McT1980:
Ok... Do i need to restore my TA to fix this or is there some other way around this?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] auras76:
Not need to restore ypur ta,just flash kk ftf excluding ta and reboot.see if you camera works.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] McT1980:
I just did that :p No luck.. Gonna try NUT's guide and see if that works! Thanks anyway tho :)

Edit: the guide is here for others with same issue, didn't find NUT's original post. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2697620

Just did step 2 and that did fix the camera so there's hope afterall :D

Edit 2: Just doing step 2, followed by flashing dooms kernel and then the rom with a wipe was enough to fix this problem.

Anyone figure out what the issue is with the volume buttons?

On UL BL, C6903. Flashed per NUTs guide, with all files from there and on Romaur 6.2. Camera, everything works as it should. But, volume controls make the phone freeze/Force close the app I'm in and then the phone reboots.

Settings app, if I try to adjust volumes from there, same thing happens. I also have Gem and Gravity box for KK. In Aroma on instal of 6.2 I selected 'Louder Volume' - nothing more.
