Edited Findings

[MENTION=4976309]iHackers[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4816245]funky0308[/MENTION]

Here are my findings.

Clean Install (Data/Cache Fully Wipe)

C6903

UB - DooMKerneL V11

Aroma Installer:

Sony Xperia Bootanimation

Skipped Kernel Installation

28px Navigation Bar

Audio Mod

Graphics Mod

Performance Mod

Stock Launcher

Adv Power, Boot manager GB Xposed Modules

No Glass Apps

Install Adobe Flash Player

Reports (Some Might Already Been Highlighted Before)

1) Device is faster. Boot up takes just seconds. CPU clocked at 960MHz Min, 1036MHz Max.

2) *Edited* Random reboots. Don't know why so. Nothing to do with charging cable. Out of sudden device just keeps rebooting.

3) Back camera not working at all. Stucked at focusing. Video can't stop when press STOP. Front camera works fine.

4) *Edited* Sound does have problems. Sometimes comes out from phone speakers instead of external speakers. It happens sometimes in games and apps.

5) In certain apps, eg: DicePlayer, Games, navigation bar doesn't appear. Hard to exit.

6) DT2W: Works flawlessly when charging. Doesn't respond much when idle for a few mins. Not much of an issue.

7) Answered calls automatically goes to external speaker rather than phone speaker.

These are the things I observed.

Google apps not working

I haven't read through every page of this rom development yet, but, I just wanted to say the rom is awesome!

I actually am having one issue: Gmail and google (search/now) are not working. They both force close when selected. Have I missed something? I followed the aroma installer method for installtion on my c6902.

Please let me know if I've missed something.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ploopower79:
Are you using the glass apps? Did you select to install in aroma? If so I would say just delete them using titanium backup and reinstall from play store should solve your problem :)

Here the problem with 4.0 beta ihackers in 1 week:

- when switch camera from second camera and back takes a while to return...

- using camera apps like air effects and creative effects or something, Heats very fast(its normal? )

- gmail apps i dont know why stopped to work i cant open, i receive notifications but i cant open i dont know if a problem with some mod or something else...

I would like to see in updates native 3g video call, more fps to video similar to galaxy note 3 and others, z2 updates and tweaks 4k...

that's all folks: D
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Shroomster:
Yes, I selected glass apps and yes I used aroma installaer. I made the assumption i was supposed to use glass apps?

At any rate, google search had an update (fixed) and then I found the latest apk for gmail (fixed)

Thanks for your reply :)

you need unlocked bootloader to flash different kernels other than stock.

You don't have to reflash the whole rom just to install doomkernel, simply flash the flashable zip provided on the doomkernel's thread via recovery or extract it and install boot.img it via adb.

Step5: Reinstall Your Desired Kernel.

Step6: Reboot and Enjoy.

Haii guys!,

I need some help my girlfriend has this Z1 with this rom since V1 and now she is on V3 but having alot of trouble with her camera.

It FC alot when switching the view or using those other thingies like AR effect and such. I am tired of her QQ xD and i checked forums but couldnt find any help on it.

Also when she watches a youtube or facebook video she has the problem that it shuts itself out of the video after some seconds means she cant watch videos on her phone.

Hi Dev, I have a probelm

I have flashed the v1.1 over v1.0 and wiped cache and dalvik cache.

I selected the stock ui and standard gapps.

After reboot one of my soft keys the back button is 48 dpi and the rest of the two are smaller.

Could please tell me how to fix this and if possible upload a. Zip file which I can flash in recovery to correct my soft keys and make them all at standard 48 dpi..
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
No, You won't unless there is something from the previous version's aroma installer that you want to install into this release.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Select Stock Settings while installing the ROM.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
All battery related issues that I knew of have been resolved. The battery life should be more than amazing with the latest release. If you are still facing any issue it is not because of the ROM, its is certainly because of your choice of apps or a very rough and uneven handling and usage of your device.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
That would certainly be looking wierd. :p That should probably be because of any Xposed Module or something else from your data partition conflicting with the SystemUI's Default props as it is untouched Stock SystemUI. I have personally tested the ROM and it doesn't have any such issues. You should better install the default SystemUI and use the Xposed Modules to set whatever size you want. I have done a lot of fixes in it this time. If nothing works, Use Titanium Backup to backup all your stuff, Make a clean install with whichever configuration you want and then manually do a selective restore of all the apps and data you want. That would certainly solve the problem.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
Thanks for the quick reply.

Could please help me and tell which Xposed module to use to change the soft keys dpi. Since I have installed all the Xposed the module addons present so this way would be the best if it can work otherwise I the other method is going to be a pain..

I hate setting up my home screens the way I want.

Install Kernel.ftf .257 C6903 or Kernel.ftf .257 C6902 with Flashtool

Stupidly rebooted, got stuck in boot loop.

How do i get out of this? Tried flashing Kernel and it would not work either.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
That's the same type of problem I had my back key was bigger than the rest two

I am looking for the stock 48 dpi size hopefully there is a flash able. Zip file or if there is a way through Xposed modules then if someone can tell how to do it it would be great.

Hi

First of all.,great ROM. Everything worked fine...have one problem.

The backspace is a different DPI, Not sure why..i wanted to reinstall from scratch...but I cannot get into recovery!

I tried the up button when SONY appears...i tried adb reboot recovery...nothing worked! How else can I get into recovery?

Appreciate any help ! I dont want to go back to stock !
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
Install by selecting stock settings and stock ui along with standard gapps.

You will have everything stock that way.

---------- Post added at 07:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 AM ----------

Well if your recovery is out but you still have root then install recovery through Windows. There is a. Exe file for the earlier version of dual recovery. Install that through Windows and then update that version with the latest dual recovery version by installing the latest through flashing. Zip file in recovery.

Once this problem is solved, use Xposed app and go to x blast module and Change the look and dpi of the navigation bar settings from there... Restart your rom and that soft keys problem will be solved. They all will be the same size.

I exported and imported the drivers in Flashtool and still it stops at the same stage.

See attached image.

EDIT: installed the drivers for Z1 from the install drivers .exe in FlashTool.

Still sticks at the same part. The computer does not reconnise the phone properly.

Tried it again by excluding the system. That worked fine. But of course the phone wont boot up as there is no system on it.

Why will the system not install?

I have the same problem I could not boot into customized recovery by following the steps above. Is there anyone able to get back to the recovery and how?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
I had the same problem. It seems for some reason every time you flash a ROM or an update to a ROM, it wipes the recovery. I just have to use the dual boot recovery command prompt and reflash the recovery everytime. Just remember to make that an extra step, I'm anal about my stuff. I backup, flash ROM, boot the ROM, install dual recovery, reboot.

Hello and thank you for the ROM, i'm gonna be getting my Z1 tomorrow, so i was wondering if this ROM is safe to flash and also do we loose the camera functionality or not! because as i seen in some forums lately we dont have to unlock the bootloader if we dont want to loose the camera functions

I have flashed back the v1.0 for now the v1.1 turned out not so great for me.

Phone was overheating and battery was not as great as the v1.0

Plus while using the advance xperia launcher if you swipe slowly from one home screen to other you can see it stutter which on the v1.0 is smooth..

Will wait for the next version...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
so that means i shouldn't Unlock the bootloader if i want to preserve all the camera's functions!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
Yes as right now unlocking the bootloader will cause camera not to focus. You can unlock it though but make sure to take a backup of your ta partition before unlocking.

It does not work for me. I did the same procedure. However when it was booting I tried to press volume up or volume down it went straight to the iHacker ROM. I tried many times to reflash the dual recovery, reboot to recovery but it still went to iHacker ROM.
