Nope, no luck. Maybe something went wrong while downgrading with flashtool?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] krakkhor:
sorry that didnt help

maybe you should try reflashing everything. I dont know what else i could suggest. sorry.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregdeberg:
Hello :)

I had this problem (autofocus ko, ...) and it was solved by flashing (by flashtool) an offical firmware.

Bye
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] M-Dawg:
Why dont I have a "Clear all recent apps" button on recent apps panel?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] borisb:
Anyone?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
If you provide a screenshot, I could help you more. Just tick the "always" box in the bottom left corner and select your app.

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ----------

It should go away. I've ran into this problem before. Either that or once you flash the firmware, factory data reset your phone and it should fix it. If not, reflash the firmware.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] M-Dawg:
Thanks I'm now on the ROM I got it to work everything is fine. Ive got a question about the camera though: It seems as if the low light photos on this rom is worse than the ones you get when on stock rom. They all have a purple hue to them.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Good stuff man so all of the links and everything I provided helped? Not sure about the camera. Mine seems fine although I rarely take photos in low light.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Teknohtc:
hi, i installed the minimal version of this ROM and now it's going through a boot loop. Anyway to fix this? Thanks!

*****Just flashed a stock ROM to get out of the Boot loop*********
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] borisb:
So how about that?

C6906 support?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] M-Dawg:
Is recovery lost after flashing this rom?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Unfortunately, yes. Just re-run the dual recovery command prompt in Windows.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] BaCKo85:
I have instaled this rom, but the icons i stock ? Why?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
What do you mean?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] M-Dawg:
Thanks. Another question Mr Knux, why does the wallpaper sometimes turn black/disappear until I re apply it? Is something getting killed?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Lol. Not sure to be honest. Never really happened to me. I'm using "Power of Life" live wallpaper for my home screen and a galactic wallpaper for my lockscreen. Haven't had that issue before. How often does it happen and what program do you use to apply the wallpaper?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] M-Dawg:
It happens when I clear recents sometimes.

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------

I saw now it says "force application close" and then the wallpaper disappears. That toast also appears when, for instance, you hold back button in to close foreground app.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] M-Dawg:
Where did you get this official firmware?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Banwell13:
1.2 download link anyone

In the opp it says 1.2 but when i go to download it takes me to 1.1
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
Changelog looks very good. Will test it :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jxx17:
How can I install 1.2 without lost my apps/photoes etc? Now I using 1.1.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Thanks. It would be great if you could provide a detailed testing report and some reviews too after you test it. :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Make a Nandroid Backup and Flash the ROM directly using any recovery. Don't worry, you won't loose anything. Enjoy. ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
When I clear recents it happens all the time. I think it's rom related and not a bug.

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

Can we dirty flash this or would it be better to do a clean flash?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Mighty_X:
Changelog looks extremely promising. Looking forward to testing rom!!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
LOL. The wallpaper doesn't disappear. :D I have set two levels on the clear recent tasks button on first click it will clear all the foreground and background apps in the recent apps list excluding the default launcher and on the second tap it will kill the launcher too. The black background comes because the launcher has been killed. Got it? :p

Yes, you can do a dirty flash. BTW Its always better to do a clean flash no matter on whichphone and on whichever ROM you are.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
I've been trying to help as many people as possible while you guys were away. I am not completely knowledgeable with this stuff. I have been rooting and flashing roms for years and I do my best to help people on what I do know. I do give you devs mad respect on actually making roms, I feel that is something I wouldn't be able to handle lol.

I know clean flashing is always better and even though TB is a life saver, it's still a tedious process in my opinion. I just didn't know if I could dirty flash just because you've added so many new things if it would conflict with anything at all.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
4k enabled by default??

downloading now anyways! i'll report later
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Don't worry mate, I wasn't mocking you. I just felt that wallpaper disappearing thing was funny. :p BTW I saw that you were helping everyone out in our absence. Thanks a lot for that. I am truly grateful to you and other guys who give a meaning to the word "Community" which XDA was actually meant to be. I will be leaving for a Business Trip on Sunday and will hardly get any time to visit XDA for nearly a Month. It will be upon you guys to help each other out when I am unable to. Although I don't think that there would be any issues with this release. Its a lot better than both the previous releases all all aspects. You will know that once you install the ROM. I will have a lot of time from mid of January and will be properly active then. I had a lot of things in my to do list but I don't have time to cover them all atm. Anyways, Enjoy the rom and let me know if you have any requests or reports. :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
I have one request! i wanna see the v2.0 with 4.3JB :D

have a safe trip man
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Well good luck on your business trip and stay safe. I just did a dirty flash and everything seems to be running smoothly so far. I feel like I am gonna do a clean flash later though just cause I have OCD and like you said, I shouldn't run into any problems. One request... Bring us 4.4 KitKat. :P
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kenken2800:
1.2 is great so far..seem to be more stable

Is there no Clear all Recent Apps Button for stock UI?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DAddYE:
Can someone tell me if the camera in 1.2 minimal is intact or modded?

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 03:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 AM ----------

Guess no because is a SystemUI change which will result with a conflict with xposed modules.

Install gravity box, there is an option for that somewhere :D
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zyxel25:
does the v1.2 wipe the data when installing?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Phenombox:
Holy moly, I just got a Z1 so I wanted to check out if there were any ROMs up, and I have to say I already love it just how it is presented! I mean, no flashy GIFs etc, no hidden changes or anything, just pure information on what you actually changed!

I'm going to install this ROM as soon as I get the chance to, and I'm sure I will love it, the fact that you also used AROMA to let people customize their installs is amazing!

I had a lot of knowledge in old Sony Ericsson flashing, but I kinda never got too deep into Android. I know the basic stuff though, so I will try to help out people where I can here. :)

Cheers!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sumedha Kapoor:
As I have mentioned in the OP: The changelogs are incomplete. Although it seems that iHackers reverted back the camera to 8 MP Superior Auto with 16:9 Aspect Ratio but I am not sure why. He made a new and a better camera for himself with a lot of improvements and 20.7 MP Superior Auto with 16:9 Aspect Ratio and linked the dims and ar to the settings configured in manual mode i.e you can change and control it using the manual mode's settings menu, I don't know why he didn't add it as an option in the aroma.

No.

PS: Mirror links updated.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kkdamion:
Ihackers is the best rom for my xz1. I love it, I cherish its really fast and smooth. I tried all the z1 roms but this one I like the most

But there I only 1 thing with the 1.2 rom and that is Can't change the soft keys to 28 dpi like before when installing

Can you bring it back and keep up the good work and have a safe trip
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Mighty_X:
:cool: Now I'm super jealous !!!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DAddYE:
Thank you. Really appreciated.

Do you have the app? I'd like to try it.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jirka607:
I would like to see this app too! ;)

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 AM ----------

Btw....do i have to flash a kernel when coming from another custom ROM?

Like MonX?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
I didn't add it to the ROM because I am not done with it yet. It needs some more testing and debugging.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Thanks. :) I had added Multiple Softkey Sizes in the Initial Release but I removed them because it can be easily achieved using Gravity Toolbox and Xblast Tools. Give it a try and let me know if you aren't able to do that. Remember to install Xposed Framework and Enable those modules first.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
No, you don't. Simply flash the ROM over it and you are done. You don't even need to wipe data partition when you are switching between ROMs based on same fw. Its just a recommended step for juicing out most of the ROM's potential.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kkdamion:
I installed xblast and gravitybox and I know how Xposed an modules work but I can't find it or I just don't know where to look
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Open Settings >> iHackers >> Xposed Framework >> Install/Update >> Enable and Configure Gravity/Xblast >> Reboot.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kkdamion:
That I know but I don't know what I must configure of change in xblast/gravitybox
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jirka607:
And if i wipe System/data/cache/dalvik/SD

Is it still not needed to flash .257 with flashtool?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kkdamion:
If you are already on. 257 then you don't need to flash kernel
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
Can't enable Seeder, keep asking for root permissions even if i already grant it!

and yet this is the best ROM i've ever used
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
You don't need to enable it. All the functions of the Seeder have been integrated within the ROM itself. They are already working in the background doesn't matter if you enable it or not. In case you want to disable it you can use the Terminal to do that. Read the changelogs and you will understand what I mean.

Agressive Entropy Generator Engine configured by default to reduce lags and increase smoothness.

Auto Aggressive Entropy Generator, Crossbreeder and RNGD Services for better Performance Tuning, Power Management Control, and an Optional MMC I/O Queue Extension/Timing Change.

Added Proper IntentServices for Process Control, and Notification on Upgrade / Loss of Root / Autostart Failure.

Asynchronous startup of rngd during boot; this should solve the remaining autostart problems some users have reported.

Added a much more efficient suspend-on-sleep mode for rngd.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Gravity Box >> Navigation bar tweaks >> Dimensions (Change these to whatever you like) >> Reboot.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jirka607:
Excellent ROM....all smooth and everything....but please how to add apps like Backup and restore and xperia for facebook?

i miss those Thanks

just a question why does my status bar sometimes disappear.....
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] FiremakerP:
Is Vipermod working ? I cant seem to get the driver installed eventhough I have root.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
Dev

I am have a problem with v1.2..

I installed over v1.0 and moved to v1.2 directly. The problem I am facing is that after installing the updated rom I loose my status bar all the time. It only comes back if I get an email or text message. It does not seem to come back on its own.

I restated so many times but every time the status bar does not come.

I don't want to do a clean install because it's a pain setting up the entire home screen layouts..
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jirka607:
I can confirm even on clean install.....the status bar is all black until some notification comes...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] FiremakerP:
You need to install StockUI and then the xposed framework. That solves the problem.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Mighty_X:
Just installed from stock ROM following your instructions and had no problems at all. Now i'm currently exploring the world of ihackers ROM :)

THANK YOU SIR!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
So you mean to say that I first tick stock UI and then also tick xposed add-ons and then when the rom will be installed the status bar will not have any problems
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] FiremakerP:
Yes tick stock ui and install all xposed framework stuff. On first boot ui will be stock then activate xposed and modify.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Mighty_X:
How to change the clock position back to stock right? Installed stock plus xposed. Tried many different options in xposed but no luck :/

And i cant get any of the sound enhancer to be working :(

Hey!

thanks for amazing work.

i like this rom but there is one issue that is pushing me to stay on other roms.

this rom isnt allowing walkman app to work online.

i have subscription of that app so i really need that app

please tell me how to gain the online service or app it to next update.

Sound, how to fix this?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ZeroAE:
New version, awesome!

Now, are there some things I DON'T have to backup using Titanium Backup?

Because I made a backup of all data in my stock Z1 (both normal and system apps) when I installed 1.1 and I think that made some errors with the ROM, like that GravityBox doesn't work.

Thanks!

Try updating the modules of Xposed frame work. When I installed the update after in Xposed settings I found updates for gravity module updated it and activated it and reboot my device and it working

The rom is lagging in PvZ2 :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
You have just waisted like a day with your steps here! i'll give you an advice here:

If you have a device that is a locked bootloader, and you already have it rooted and all that stuff and also, you installed previously a rom such as Monxdified or any one here! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO ALL THAT STEPS AGAIN! just flash the recovery with flashtool and copy the ROM to you sdCard and flash it as it should be flashed!

WIPE DATA => WIPE CACHE => WIPE DALVIK!

FLASH THE ROM AND AGAIN WIPE CACHE AND DALVIK!

DO NOT FLASH AGAIN THE KERNEL

Thumbs up if that helps!

cheers

You have done something wrong or you just missed something,

reflash it again and also try to do a fresh install
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ZeroAE:
Will do.

But I read somewhere that you shouldn't backup system apps; is that true?

And do I need to follow the same steps as when I flashed the 1.1 ROM to upgrade it to 1.2?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DESASTER75:
@ Simow.b:

Didn't got you clearly!

- device do have looked BL

- device is rooted already

- device is already on 257

- CWM is installed

- root still alive

- did 534 at the beginning

- Kingo

- OTA-Rootkeper

- OTA-Update

- Dual-Recovery (Xperia ZU & Z1 recovery for locked bootloaders v4) installed

- went to Recovery

- wiped all (WAS IT WRONG TO WIPE DATA/FACTORY AND DAVLIK)

- error-message while trying to flash iHackers 1.2

ERROR MESSAGE:

CWM is not accepting CR (iHackers 1.2 loaded three times already and CR put on root of ext. SD)

E: Can't open /external_SD/.../iHackers v1.2 [Aroma].zip

BAD

Installation abortet

Never installed other CR-Mod before on Z1! Just want to go from already installed 257 to iHackers 1.2.

I'm using 'XZU-recovery4-Windows' as Recovery! Ist that correct? Already installed!

iHackers 1.2 is already on external SD or should it be put onto 'internal' SD?

If WIPE DAVLIK was wrong, how to get DAVLIK back working?

Can you please give me step-by-step

Thx
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
I am certain that this problem is not because of the steps that you are following but because of a bad download. Verify the MD5 and see if it matches the one posted on the website. In case it doesn't then you should consider downloading it again and then follow these simple steps:

--

-----

- When you have a working recovery (Doesn't matter if it is on 534 or 257), Flash the ROM and power off (Do not reboot)

- Flash the Kernel from OP and Enjoy.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DESASTER75:
Hi!

I've downloaded three times and failed three times!

Are my steps correct to even I didn't follow your tutorial how to install?

Issues got once followed your tut while trying to install 1.1:

- camera out of function

- statuspar disappeared

- dual-cwm disappeared

One question to you please:

Is there an step 'OTA-Rootkeeper' which must be used somewhere within your tutorial?

Why do 'we' have to flash from 537 and flash kernel afterwards?

How to get 256-firmware-stuff installed, too, or is that stuff already within your 1.2-version

Thx
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Have you verified the MD5 of the ROM? BTW You won't face these issues again with 1.2. The ROM doesn't have any such issues. If you do face the issues again it is not because of the ROM its certainly because of something that you are doing wrong. Regarding recovery, It wasn't included in the previous releases but now it is (Read the changelogs).
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DESASTER75:
Hi!

So just try your installation-guide once again! Already trying now! ;)

today i had confusing thing with my honami :S

i am on iHackers 1.2 and suddenly my phone vibrates instantly and my screen didnt move on. i couldnt do anything, nothing helped. after 30 minutes it was out of battery and after loading i could restart it.

what was that?!

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sumedha Kapoor:
Kindly keep your honesty to yourself and stop spamming the thread with these stupid posts. If you don't like the rom DON'T USE IT. As simple as that. If you are facing problems REPORT THEM. Please, don't post this junk and confuse the other users. The rom is perfect and doesn't have any issues. Besides that all those mods and tweaks are optional in the aroma. You can easily choose not to install them. Learn to respect the developers and if you can't go make your own rom. This is a development thread and unless you want to post something that helps in it, please DON'T.

PS: Don't reply this this post and add more spam over here.

Does anyone have the Sony Update Center apk? When I did a clean install of the rom it was there, but I had to reflash it cause I was missing a few things and now under the iHackers settings, it's not there. So if someone could pull the apk for me it would be much appreciated. (I wanna see if a 4.3 OTA is available) :)

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sumedha Kapoor:
I just finished the new version of pvz2 and I did not face any lags or other issues whatsoever. Which governor and io scheduler have you chosen in the performance settings in the iHackers menu? Are you using greenify? How many apps have you installed and how many of them are constantly running in the background? Whats your average free ram? All lags have been fixed in this rom. If you noticed, that was the main motive behind the latest release which would obviously be clear from the changelogs. I don't think it that it would be rom related.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Noob question, what is pvz2?
