I'm using it right now, but nothing is happening.

The ROM comes with Xposed Framework already installed, right?

Cause I'm trying to use the Xposed apps that the ROM installed (XBlast, XuiMod), but nothing's happening
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
Most ROMs don't come with xposed installed but they may come with the xposed installer APK already installed for you to set up

Make sure xposed is installed correctly , open the xposed installer app from the app drawer then select framework and hit install/update that should fix things it should look like this after

Once you have done this do a reboot and make sure you have your modules enabled that you want to use

Can someone point me how I can revert the stock camera to the native settings. I really don't like the auto mode :(

New phone, new ROM, new Launcher.. all good!

Hi all. Just flashed this ROM to my week old Z1. New Phone and new ROM so I thought I'd give Apex Launcher a go after being a Nova Prime user for a year.

I had the issue of an invisible status bar but found that if I connected a USB cable that was plugged into a PC it came back because it added the USB-Connected icons to the notification dropdown. I also made a work around by installing Tasker which adds a tray icon when it starts on boot which made the bar appear as well.

Then I downloaded and flashed a zip attached a few posts above and it works fine now anyway. :)

If it matters, the bar disappeared immediately after I changed the theme in Apex to the MIUIv5 one that is bundled with the ROM.

There was also no Xposed apps installed even though I chose them during the ROM install.

[Q] Not ROM related/specific but why do I have to keep running the 'XZU-recovery4-Windows' installer whenever I want to boot to recovery? If I turn my phone off and then power on my phone, it never buzzes or lights the LED (during the Sony logo screen) for me to press the Vol+/- buttons to get to CWM etc. I have to boot the phone, run the installer on my PC and then I can get to recovery after booting twice!

Other than that, so far so good!

P.S Ignore my sig! Mega old!

P.P.S Sig updated!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ZeroAE:
Is it normal for the camera hardware button doesn't work after installing the ROM?

And how do I get he clock to be in the center of the status bar, like in the OP?

Also, I'm getting GravityBox to work, for some reason.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] FiremakerP:
Yeah its normal. On first start you have to launch the camera though the app then the Hardware button works :).
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ZeroAE:
Thanks!

But I just realized there is no camera app. At all.

At this point I'm pretty sure I installed the ROM wrong or something.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DAddYE:
Mmm, there are many apk with "Camera" as a name, I have tried to replace all of them without any result.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
I like the fact that the camera in auto mode uses 20 megapixel.. All this while in reviews everyone complained about the camera not taking pictures at 20mp and now that we have this feature people don't want it.

Maybe the only thing to tweak now is to give option for the user to choose in auto mode itself if he or she wants 20, 13 or 8 mp that way everyone will be happy.

MX Camera App capturing Picture without focusing... AR effects capturing too.. Just stock app auto or manual captures not working...

It's already informed by Sony and others...Am i right?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Any requests for the next release?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] hieuhd93:
Glad to see you.Hope tô see these things in next release:

- all latest updated apps: walkman...sony apps and other system apps.

- add back all the options in stock camera app.

- add back some stock themes.

- add close-all apps in recent task, the navigation 44dip is best (and should be default).

- I really miss the sony select and its vivid widget, can you add back? download it from gg play now just japanese words and there's no widget along that i dont know why.

- add the volume-boost which now just has one version.

- more friendly battery and better performance ( i just wanna expect more :p)

That would be perfect to wait for 4.3 coming in this month :D
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Noted.... Anything else?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gioiellino:
- if possible some SONY apps working... as update center, backup wizard, sony select for camera apps.

- white balance

- more widgets

:good:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zyxel25:
-bring back 8mp 16:9 to SA

-long press options on quick settings

-better audio sound ans increase volume on headset

thanks :D.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] hieuhd93:
'cause the Sony UI is pretty good and not many people want to change much. I think you should change the bootanimation that can be both you and Xperia...and also delete some wallpaper that is quite boring and I never see anyone uses it...adds some that fits the screen, maybe :laugh:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
Please check over heat issue which I am facing in v1.1... My phone overheats on the simplest of tasks like checking Facebook or even using the xda app. Please make it like how it was on v1.0...

Give option to choose the dpi for soft keys don't make any one value default like it was for v1.0

My 3g connection seems to miss a lot. When I switch from wifi to 3g it takes long time for the 3g data signal to kick in. I have to toggle Mobile data or even sometimes go all the way into my apn settings and save it all over again for the 3g signal to start. Maybe it's rom related

The advance xperia launcher was smooth really smooth on v1.0 but on v1.1 it no butterry smooth specially when changing from one home screen to the next if you don’t slowly you will see the transition effects only skip not smoothly move.

As for the loudness please make the in call speaker more clear right now mod or no mod the Sound quality from the in call speaker is not good it's too fat and not clear, if you know what I mean. Plus to add make the Sound from external speaker loud as hell.. I don't mind turning the volume down but there is no way to increase the volume than the maximum limit.

Also to add to the above please add Google experience launcher as one of the luancher to choose from. The new Google experience launcher like 4.4 kitkat version with Okay Google hot word working.

hi guys, anyone experiencng random reboots...? out of sudden i have random reboots on this rom...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] GPKrzychuXxX:
Better audio sound :D
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DAddYE:
Please continue to keep minimal as is, few (if none) mods and very well tested tweaks. Same for camera, I'd like the stock one. (How can I revert it now?). Thanks!!!

Does anyone feel the wifi signal isn't as strong as before?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Keep randomly getting camera FC's. Been running the rom since 1.1 release and haven't had a problem until now. Any suggestions or can someone upload a TB Backup for the camera? Also, when I ran Sony Diagnostics, the flash test failed. I'm using Gravity Box with a tweaked nav bar (always show menu button) and when I hold it the torch comes on. What I noticed was with the camera not working, the flash nor the torch app works either.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] duong_duc2002:
Great work! I just wonder about the quality of the camera. Does it change?

Announcement:

As you all know that iHackers is absent from XDA most of the time thats because he is on Business Trips for our company. He usually replies to every single post on his thread but these days he doesn't have time for even visiting his own threads. This situation will continue to exist for a few more weeks. At the Moment both we are busy on a Recruitment Trip for the company iHackers which probably won't end until the end of December and maybe until mid of January. So, if someone wants to help us out while we are away simply by helping everyone out with their problems and queries and fill in for thread maintenance and support position, please let us know. We would be very grateful if someone wants to contribute in any possible way (Development, Thread Maintenance/Updation, Support or Donations etc).

PS: Changelogs have posted on the OP.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Wobzy:
No mention here of restoring TA (LB), has this step been neglected in the tut, or has my bootloader remained locked?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sumedha Kapoor:
Yes. Your bootloader is still locked. iHackers mentioned the backup step, so that everyone who is new to this will have a backup of their TA Partition in case something goes wrong. If you want the use the restore method to flash the rom, follow these steps:

Root your rom using Binary's method.

Download and copy the rom to external sd card.

Backup TA Partition.

Unlock bootloader.

Flash doomlord's kernel via fastboot.

Reboot and enter into recovery using volume keys.

Flash the rom.

Flash latest kernel.

Reboot and let the rom settle.

Restore the TA Backup.

It is very very easy and very fast. I have made a batch scrip that does most of these steps in a single click for me.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] hieuhd93:
So we still have 1.2 soon, right?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Wobzy:
Thanks for that.

:)

ROM installed ok.

EDIT; running ok after flashing 257 fw.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] omar300:
screen turning on delay

So i finally decided to root Z1, coming from nexus 4, God this phone is difficult to root.

about this rom now, It looks pretty neat so i decided i should try this, this has lots of features.

I havent made too much use of these features yet but after installing this, there is a 1-2 second delay of screen turning on.

can anyone please explain what is the issue?

i followed the instruction though out.

rooted, installed rom, flashed stock kernel and baseband, flashed TA.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zyxel25:
Why do we need to back up the TA?

Does it removed when installing the rom?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kartal172:
DRM Keys included in to TA Partition and you can not use camera (focusing; AUTO mode and MANUAL modes; just working front camera but video recording not work)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kenken2800:
That means we have to wait few weeks for getting 1.2?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Aylarth:
Since I left stock rom behind and installed iHacker's Rom (v1.1), I have lost my 2-3-4G connection. Technically, I can't use my mobile internet, but everything else works fine, including the wifi. It's a pity, how can I fix this? Alternatively, if I have to go back to the stock rom, is that requiring anything else than using flashtool and install a stock rom FTF?

All answers will be greatly appreciated and thanked.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Wobzy:
I had to download settings again.

Had the same problem, SIM recognized ok, voice icon ok, no 3G/4G/H/E.

Mobile network recognized and registered, still no connection.

SETTINGS > WIRELESS & NETWORKS - MORE... > INTERNET SETTINGS

Fixed it for me.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
If you need any help let me know, I have been a beta tester for Omega team and another device here on XDA forums.

I too have a traveling job but I will help in any way I can. I not technical so I can't do any scripting or programming but I can help out in testing the rom and answering some common rom related questions.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Aylarth:
Cheers, it is fine and working now. :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sumedha Kapoor:
That would be great. Thanks for helping out. BTW Its okay. You won't need to do any scripting or programming for that. Helping everyone out and supporting the people facing problems would be more than enough. :)[

iHackers v1.1 was released in a hurry. I saw his to-do list for this rom and it is very long and very good too. Its just that he doesn't get a lot of time these days for xda and all. The next release will be a Full Release and would be a lot better and iHackers will be releasing it in a few more days most probably. Although I am not sure that we will get enough time to support and help you guys out on the thread with your queries and problems. The next release will be released with proper testing and would not have any bugs (atleast it will be free of all those rom related bugs). If you guys still face issues it would be most probably because of something that you are doing wrong.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zyxel25:
im asking is does this rom removed the ta when installing it? because in the instruction we need to backup ta first.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Wobzy:
No. BL is in tact.

This question has been answered.

Backup is precautionary.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
I rooted my Z1 when I got it. I installed the 537 or whatever firmware, rooted, OTA'd to 257 and root was kept. I backed up my TA partition before flashing the 5XX firmware, unlocked my bootloader, installed Doom kernel, flashed this rom, restored my TA partition, and it re-locked my BL.

Is there a way you know of that when you restore the TA partition, it won't re-lock the BL?

hi new to the z1 just installed rom and i lost recoverys i understand its wiping cache that does this?

can i just reflash recoverys and all is well

ok thanks but why arnt the apps installing do you know :o
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
Hey Xposed add-ons are installed but not activated.

Goto settings and select Xposed settings once the you will see the button to install

Press it and reboot your device immediately and then all Xposed modules will be active.

Go to Xposed settings again and from the top select modules and then all installed modules will be shown and the tick next to them will indicate if they are active or not

If you want to edit any module then click on it and change the settings..

Reflash recovery from Windows by executing the bat file which corresponds to the Super user installed...

Once done it will not boot into recovery but after reboot you will have recovery.

To install the latest version simply download the zip file of the recovery and flash it via old version recovery you just installed.

For future reference always remember to Reflash the zip file of recovery after installing the rom so you don't have to do this lengthy process

Update from 1.0 to 1.1

Should I wipe data when updating from 1.0 to 1.1? Or just wipe cache and dalvik? :confused:

Also, do I have to "flashtool" baseband and kernel again after updating?

Thanks guys.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gioiellino:
NO you dont need wipe data and dont need reflash kernel.

i do only flash rom updating 1.1 over 1.0

just don't forget to wipe caches
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] shahulvm:
Please include a recovery within the rom, that would make it look complete, than having to go about flashing the recovery manually after rom installation.

I am really glad that you like it. The next version will be a lot better, I have given it a considerable amount of time. I would love to have a few suggestions from you. :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
I always like the stock Sony UI so what i added in my ROMs most of the time are tweaks, more features, always the latest Stuff and debloating too. I always like to make my ROM to fit for everyone likes without making it big or anything like that, most of the times i made 3-4 Versions of the same ROM to have a Versions to choose from for everyone. If you need help or more Feedback or anything other you can always ask me if you want, becouse i like to help other Developers even if im not active atm but i am thinking of maybe start something again with my new Z1 :D Hope to test 1.2 soon :good:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Thats exactly what I have done so far. I work and think exactly like that. :p I also make 3-4 versions of my ROM with different levels of debloating and tweaks/stuff to choose. Sure, whenever I will need some help, I will let you know. BTW whenever you decide to come back for development and stuff, do let me know. We can work together. I am not able to be very active on XDA since a few months now either. It would be great to have someone to back me up.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Awesome rom. Even 1.1 was rushed, I have not found any major bugs other than missing status bar (reinstalled rom and hasn't happened since) using as my daily right now. I know it's not possible but I wish Update Center would work so I can keep checking for the 4.4 OTA and still preserve my root. ;) Other than that, amazing job.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
Xposed modules are found in Xposed settings. Goto your settings and under that you will find Xposed settings click on it and then click install.

After install reboot device and the Xposed modules will be active. Goto settings and Xposed modules again. Then click top drop down box which will say framework and select modules. You will have the list of all Xposed modules you have selected at the time of rom installation. The ones with the tick next to them are active. Select the ones you want active and uncheck the rest.

If you want edit any module then click on it and tune the settings to your liking.

For sofkeys goto gravity module and then click navigation bar and under that you can change the size and also the theme of softkeys. Reboot device for the changes to take effect.

Hi guys, I want this rom with a sore heart, but I can not find an FTF file for my stock firmware, so that I can flash back to stock and root Z1. Will it be the same to just restore factory settings? Will that get me to stock firmware needed to obtain root on Z1?

Just download the UK Global I think it's called, I'm in the US and that's what I used cause there's a .257

OTA available for that ROM. Just Google "xda Sony xperia z1 ftf" and go to the German mirrors I think it is. Download, flash using flashtool, root with klingo, install superSU pro, enable survival OTA under settings, go to update center, update to 257 OTA and everything should be good. Message me if you run into any problems.

Just install dual recovery, backup your rom before you do anything, and download the 1.1 version, save it in SD, flash through recovery, reboot, reinstall dual recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] M-Dawg:
Thanks, appreciate the help, but wont it be easier if I restore factory settings in phone itself, then root, then continue with the process?

You don't necessarily need to factory reset. And DO Not unlock your bootloader. There's currently no way around the camera issue. If you message me I can provide the links and try to explain it in depth more.

I have a problem with this rom and i hope someone will help me :D

Many times when i want to go back to the 'desktop' with the home button, a popup appears and asks to choose a launcher...the problem is that the button 'always' doesn't work because it asks me again and again...i have the choice between 'Xperia...' (the good one) and LBE task manager

Is LBE task manager the problem ?
