anyone got this ROM working with chromecast? i am trying to set up chromecast using chromecast but i always get the message "chromecast could not connect to network"

UPnP in my router is enabled and i dont have any guest/isolation mode settings

running out of options (no other device to try this on)..
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] SleemLDJ:
Please also update the Sony media apps to the latest ones.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] EazyVG:
Thanks for positive attitude ... thumbs up.

Having this as a separate Mod would most likely be a better option, as am sure that many would prefer the default light colour version that Sony provides. Besides, this is also better for the ROM Dev(s) itself, so not to take extra time thus concentrating on developing its core features, while a separate Mod /Theme can be released based on ROM framework releases.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Furma:
i couldnt set up chromecast using chromecast app so i had to set it up over my laptop

once set up, chromecast app (and everything else) worked flawlessly from this ROM

maybe its a bug with this ROM (not being able to set up chromecast using chromecast app - i always get "couldnt connect chromecast to your network error") ?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jeewadj:
great rom
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Celeron787:
This is a great rom! But sometimes I experience the screen getting stuck and doesn't respond, then it reboots by itself and gets stuck in the boot animation. Had to hard reset the phone to get it working again.

Any idea what problem it could be?

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] SleepinDevil:
Just dropping by to say that I am so glad you are finally back on this! There is no other ROM for the Z1 which is even half as good as yours, and trust me, I've been trying out the others for the last couple of weeks, and I was getting completely depressed that my Galaxy S3 behaves better than my Z1 on all those other ROMs!!!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
Most likely you have problems with one of the apps.

Try to uninstall apps you installed last...

And if you are using custom kernel try to reflash it or use another one.

The best way would be to flash clean ROM and add one app by one to determine what app is causing problems but I know it's way to long to do that so just try to remove few apps you think it could be the reason.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Celeron787:
Thanks, will try uninstalling the apps and see what happens. Sometimes, it even freezes when using stock camera...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] abbychauhan:
If u really want good running ROM (applies to any ROM), clean flash is the only solution.. Wipe EVERYTHING and then flash.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] deftoner:
it happened to me some time, try to configure LBE security to don't start automatically (if you have it installed).

Also I had same problem when I upgraded 2.0 to 2.1 without a clean (wipe) install

Z1 c6906

Hi xda, well i'm new whit this phone and hadn't had an android phone since my old x10 years ago and things had change a lot since then so can someone please point me in the right direction on how to be able of get this rom working completely in my device, i have used the search option i'm not been able of fully understand how it has to be done.

My device is the TELCEL c6906 with .257 unrooted

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] buckfyter:
Do you have lte / 4g? I had the same and only by disabling lte I could use the phone. I found out that my preferred network type was set to gsm. Switched it to lte/..... /gsm and all is fine now.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] furrypotato:
Noob question from someone preparing to get a Z1 and wanting to flash on first day.....

If I already have .290 on device , can I skip the flashtool flashing of .290 kernel as I already have baseband etc

And in that case do I have to fasboot flash ihackers kernel at the end or is it already included in the main zip flash ?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] SleepinDevil:
In short, I am not sure if it is necessary but you might as well flash it. The Aroma ZIP installer does contain the Kernel but there must be a reason there's a separate step with a FTF file too right?

But before all that I found that the Z1 first-time-flashing process was a lot different to how I did my Galaxy S3 years ago... It left me completely confused and I read up a lot before attempting it... How I installed it was via Shem's video guide for getting my phone rooted without unlocking bootloader (on firmware .290 same as you) and then using TA tools to backup my TA DRM content of my phone. After that only I unlocked my bootloader via the Sony website... I did all that because it's possible to revert the process and make your phone look basically untouched (firmware side) by backing up your TA.... If you don't back up your TA partition before you unlock your bootloader then byebye warranty.

After that I followed the guide on iHacker's 3rd post and did flash the kernel + baseband via Flashtools anyway. There is no reason not to flash it anyway? You've already "voided" your warranty long before that step so... Yeah...

What I did was different to you though, I had to downgrade my firmware to an older one which has exploits which allowed the phone to be rooted without unlocking bootloader. Since it sounds like you are going to unlock the bootloader without backing up the TA partition. Beats me honestly.

I just recommend you read into this a lot more and back up the TA partition before you do anything else..
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] furrypotato:
Don't worry - I intent to backup TA. Just imagine I've done all of that firware downgrading, rooting, redstoring, TA backup and bootloader unlock etc.

I've been on XDA since 2007 and am a total flashaholic , but boy coming to the Z1 was confusing for me. Iv'e done so much reading of various threads to make sure I understand it all. Shem's video was the final step for me and made it all much easier.

Or it will do , once I actually get the phone ( Pending a complaint to my mobile provider who gave a friend with the same contract, phone and date an early upgrade but not me) !! I have all the various files I need sat on a google drive folder now ready to go. Hopefully it will time nicely with iHackers 2.2 ;)

Thanks for the comprehensive reply

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
Sorry if this question is dumb and noobish to the core, but iHackers kernel - is it like stock and Doomkernel in battery life or is it better or worse? And what is the difference compared to those two?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] deftoner:
I tried stock an ihackerz kernel and no battery life difference. But there is a lot of things in the game so its a little bit difficult to be accurate.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
Hmm.. More governors and IO schedulers in iHackers kernel perhaps?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] AoS_HJ:
I thought this Rom wasn't going to get updated but have stuck with 2.1 as it's just so good. I'm so happy to hear you're working on an update. Great news!!!!! :highfive::good::good::good:

Hi,

First of all; Great ROM!

I have one question; is it possible to lower the minimum brightness? Like the iPhone: when the brightness is set to minimum it's really dark, ideal for night use.

Hope to hear an answer!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
Hehe...if he plans to work on all requests 3.0 will be out in mid September ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] deftoner:
Thast right People.

Just wait a couple of days until 3.0 is out and try it and then ask for modifications or reportingg bugs. Its 2.1 is going to be old, don't waste time in it :)

bootloop, trying with another fresh installation... ub wiping all data, cache, dalvick and format system... trried both kernels. tried also the advanced stock kernel by doom. the phone doesn't boot properly. it starts then vibrates 2 times, then reboots.....
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] HtcOneJon:
I got the bootloops until I started from scratch, Unlocked my bootloader, followed all the steps to install, then installed enhanced stock kernel.

Phone boots ok and into Android but then no Wifi.

Going to try again later from scratch, with locked bootloader and note down all the steps.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ferranza:

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] HtcOneJon:
I flashed a 534 .ftf and then rooted and unlocked my bootloader and installed Doomlord Dual Recovery TWRP, flashed

the ROM, then turned the phone off, flashed the kernel ftf file linked in the first post. I then booted back into recovery, flashed the rom

again, selecting iHackers kernel, factory data reset from recovery, wiped cache and davlik cache, then rebooted.

The phone goes into the ROM and is all good except there is no working wifi. It tries to turn on but fails.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ferranza:
but the files on OP are for 290 firmware... we're now on 136.... let's do some attemps with the mixed options...

Yeah I saw that but I can't see nothing about LB, also, one guy said he'll try with a older firmware -

so watch what are you doing if you flash 534 kernel you'll have bricked device.

Anyway...I just saw this

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/tap2wake-function-available-on-the-sony-xperia-z-zr-and-zl/

It woukd be great to see that in this ROM, I guess it won't be possible for LB but on UB Doom kernel or iHacker could have it...

I'll try new beta 3.0 on LB - update with a full 136 ftf (kernel and baseband only)

BTW - had same problems with WIFI - I just flashed different ftf and all worked well....

Question/Idea

Its possible convert .sin kernel in .zip kernel and flash it with CWR?? (in my old HD2 the kernel can be flashed as zip)

So if possible we dont need PC and flashtool, after flash the ROM we can reboot to recovery and flash 257 kernel and reboot to system.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Passi1909:
So After 2 days of testing this rom, i want to share my experience.

First i must say, it is freakin fast!

No Lags, nowhere!

Everything is smooth and nice.

But now the batterylife.

Yesterday I got 3 hours screen on time and 12 hours standby till it was empty.

Today it is 5 hours since i charged last time and my Phone is at 74% with 40 minutes screen on.

Only whatsapp and Facebook, no games or anything Like this.

With romaur i got better stats for battery.

I dont use any other apps.

Any idea to improve the battery life time?

I changed max freq. to 1,5 GHz and govenor to interactive, but no change.

I Like this Rom!

3.0 BETA is not doing so well as i have tried now, stuck on iHackers Bootanimation, and restarted like 5 or 6 times, tried to do a clean install again but same problem i ended with a Semi bricked phone no worries, im going back to .136 stock and do NUT's Magic! or amma just stick with a stock .136 for now :)

cheers guys

Doomkernel has also the wifi problem... strange! now i will try to reflash the rom then the stripped tft from nut (20mb) and then the advanced doom stock kernel.. let's see what happens!

Edit: still bootloop :(:(:(:(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
Same here on LB...

Few ftf tried without any luck...restarting on bootanimation.

You tried with a full wipe? (format data)

So finally i got tha v3.0 to work now just give me some time and i'll post the full instructions! i'm not getting any response with my SIM card!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] LLars_PL:
So I tested the Beta, here some infos from my experience with the new 3.0 Beta Build

Started on, flashed with Ihacckers kernel did a full wipe(as always).

-the phone booted up, it couldn`t sadly recognize my SIM card and after couple seconds the phone just Shut down, and rebooted, i could not get it to boot again, it just keeping reboots.

Tried reflashing- this time i could not even boot it up, reboots on bootanimation after couple secs.

Tried the Doomkernel, reboot after kernel logo, not even getting to bootanimation.

Tried Reflashing couple of times, clean installed, sadly not working

something is wrong here, my Z1 stats : C6903, Unlocked Boot, coming from Honamz1(if requiered) .136 fm - Clean Flash.

it looks like a kernel problem, it doesnt even come up to bootanimation sometimes- just shutdown :)

..But so far, i really like the bootanimation ^^ :D

-Restoring Backup now

LG Dev, hope you know what to do :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
Ok now here's how i got the 3.0 to work:

Flashed back to .534 (because i messed up when flashing first time), root it with KingoApp, then installed latest NUT recovery from windows, after that flashed directly the v3.0 (i have a Locked Bootloader), then flashed .136 kernel!

Let that bootloop for like 5 times or less first bootloop you'll notice is that it will get stuck on the v3 boot animation, hard reset that with POWER + VOL UP, then power again and let it bootloop it will restart like 3 times again, then you'll bypass that loop to get to the home setup. so this was my method.

NOW for the Bugs on v3.0!

1- NO SIM CARD (probably missed something with the kernel on the BETA because i flashed the stripped .136 and still got no Newtork)

2- when powering off the phone it will stuck on the POWER OFF screen.

Besides this the rom is great Boot time according to LBE was 25sec

Cheers guys.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Leo0407:
could not boot, try many times

anyways i'm now on 2.1 so i'll wait for the final version or if [MENTION=4976309]iHackers[/MENTION] would send me the fix and test it again!

If you have any stock based (.136) flashable zip for C6903 with you, try replacing the etc folder thats in my ROM with it and let me now if it works. This ROM is based on C6902 and not C6903. I am sure that explains whats exactly wrong here. :p
