[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Haha oh, I feel dumb now lol.

Since you're a part of the dev team, could you possibly provide me the apk to Sony Update Center? I made a post that I installed 1.2 and it was there and reflashed it again cause I was missing something and now it's gone. :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sumedha Kapoor:
LOL. That sometimes happens to me too. :D

Its already there in the iHackers Settings Menu. If you are not seeing it check for it in the system/app folder and if its not there then simply pull it out from the rom's zip and manually put it there.

PS: I am not in the development team. iHackers (Mukesh Sharma) is the development team himself. I actually work as Editor, HR Manager, Employee Trainer, Public Rep. and Campaign Manager at iHackers (Its actually a company). I spend a lot of my time online, so I am here just to help out however I can as iHackers is out on business most of the time.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
It was in the system/apps folder but it wasn't under the iHackers settings. I just reinstalled it from the sys/app folder and it showed up.

Off-Topic: So what exactly is iHackers? I went to your website and read about you guys but it doesn't really explain anything about Android ROM's. :P
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sumedha Kapoor:
Naa.. The company iHackers has nothing to do with Android. We do a few workshops on it and have a few Android Developers but thats just it. Its more like a hobby of Mukesh. He simply shares what he makes for himself.

If you would have read the about page on the website, its all written over there.

iHackers is a leading company which provides Services and Training in the field of Cyber Security and Ethical Hacking, Penetration Testing, Network Monitoring and IT Support, Web-Application Security, Web Development and Web Designing, Multimedia (Animation, Graphic Designing, 3D Design, Flash, Photoshop), Internet Marketing, Application Development for Android and IOS etc.​
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
One more thing, I deleted the hosts file, and used ad away to restore the hosts, yet when I go to a website that uses ad.fly, it won't load the web page. Is there something I'm doing wrong or what? I just want ad.fly to load.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sumedha Kapoor:
The website ad-fly has got its own issues. Its now banned in almost half the world. Try using linkdecrypter.com and type in the links of ad-fly or whichever ad service/shortner it belongs to and it will give you a direct link without any of those stupid advertisements and stuff.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Thank you. Ad.fly works fine on my PC, but ever since the devs implemented better hosts in the rom, it hasn't worked. Also, when I go to use Video Unlimited, it says I need to update my movies app, it brings me to the Update Center and when it searches, it says there are no available updates. Did the devs make it where the Sony OTA works with the rom? Cause I seen on another thread that if you're not running Sony's firmware, it won't work.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sumedha Kapoor:
I don't want another discussion on the thread with someone who doesn't know the meaning of half the stuff in the rom how to use it. (No Disrespect). This is a development thread and unless you want to post something that helps in it, have any queries, ideas reports, suggestions, need any help, Please DON'T. First criticizing the developer's work and then saying "No Disrespect" doesn't count as respectful either. If you want to criticize some developer's work then make it a constructive criticism. Instead of plainly criticizing it would be better to report the problems that you are facing and asking for help or resolution. Do you have any idea how much time and efforts its takes to make a rom and support it. Have you considered donating as a token of appreciation and motivation to the developer for his hard work? Now for whoever wants to criticize this rom and all other roms on the xda answer these following questions first. I am not going to answer a single one of them as I don't have time for that so don't bother asking.

Sound:

Do you know how to use the ALSA Modules in your rom and how to edit/config them to increase your volume/quality?

Do you know how to use Viper4Android?

Speed/Performance:

Have you compared the benchmarks and seen what do they say?

Is the rom laggy? If it is what exactly is lagging?

Are you honestly thinking that something magical is going to happen in your phone and everything is going to fly in it?

Whats your basis to decide a rom is speedy and has a good performance or not?

Do you know that each app has its speed/performance limit and no matter how fast your phone is they simply can't run better than that limit?

Do you know that all the latest devices are much more faster than than any app's maximum utilization potential?

Do you know that without a custom kernel in your phone there isn't much that a developer can do in regards of it?

Battery:

Do you know how to get maximum juice out of your battery?

Have you considered searching for the ways to improve it? Honestly there are like a million posts on it lying on every thread and forum.

What is your app combination? How many have you installed and how many are running in the background all the time? Are you getting any wakelocks?

Have you considered using apps like Greenify, Juice Defender etc...?

Do you honestly think a rom can do something magical to your phone and you won't run out of battery for months now?

Do you know that without a custom kernel in your phone there isn't much that a developer can do in regards of it?

[MENTION=4976309]iHackers[/MENTION] : Could you tell my the path where I can take those 100 wallpapers in your rom? They're really beautiful.

I tried to find them in framework-res.apk but found nothing.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zyxel25:
yes im using greenify, i didnt touch anything related to the governor and the seeder app cant be turned on, pvs2 is not lagging to much its just theres a time that it lags 1-3 sec then its fine but in the older rom i didnt experience that kind of lag.

Hi, my phone won`t boot after flashing this rom. What I did wrong?

Hi, I`m newbie with xperia Z1(Xperia Z1 C6903). Have this phone since a week. I`ve root alredy and used official 257( upgraded by OTA). (Bootloader is still locked)

Now I flash this rom. All process goes fine. Then I switch off instead of reboot - as mentioned.

When I switch on black screen with SONY logo was displayed. After about 20 minutes nothing changed so I restart phone using vol+ and power. The phon restart, but stuck on the same SONY logo. I used small red key to reset but same results.

I wanted to start again from scratch and flash FTF 534 via flashtool, but phone is not recognised be the program and PC at all. :(

Any tips how to solve it, please?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] sm.vassallo:
Did you do the following?

Install Kernel.sin .257 C6903 or Kernel.sin .257 C6902 with Flashtool
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [Fenix]:
Bro but how do you flash kernel if you have LB? I think that the "How To" in the OP must be update regarding LB

[MENTION=4751886]vvoytex[/MENTION] Whats the problem when you try to flash ftf with Flashtool?

Have you install the right driver?

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] vvoytex:
Hi, thank for reply.

Yes I Switch it off and not reboot.

There was not such option like No to Disable Flash Recovery Confirmation.

I can`t flash kernel because flashtool do not recognise my phone despite I plug it via usb to my pc.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [Fenix]:
Ok so now you have the phone power off...connect the usb to your PC start Flashtool and flash the ftf you want...when is ready push and not release volume down and connect the usb at the phone...do you see the green led blink for a while on the phone?

[MENTION=5166890]xperiarcs[/MENTION]

I think you have locked bootloader right?

So try with this:

Flash C6903_14.1.G.2.257_GLOBAL-LTE.ftf excluding Partition, Ta, Fota, System, Elabel and also untick all the wipe with flashtool

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] vvoytex:
Hi just doing exacly what you wrote. It blinked one time red and one time green ( just for milisec.) and then flashing process started. It`s still going while I`m writing these words. Fingers cross all be ok :fingers-crossed:

5 minutes later... It`s ALIVE!!!

Fenix you save my live! Thank you.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [Fenix]:
Sure it will work bro but after this remember that you are in stock rom (version depends which version you have flashed with Flashtool)

So if you want to flash this awsome rom redo all the point in the OP but when you have to flash kernel do this:

Flash C6903_14.1.G.2.257_GLOBAL-LTE.ftf excluding Partition, Ta, Fota, System, Elabel and all the wipe with flashtool

Inviato dal mio C6903 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Lucas2805:
Hi, I just flashed it on my c6906, it works.

After you flashed the rom in recovery mod (i chose c6903 version in Aroma, it doesnt matter but this will better than 6902 :silly:).

Flash latest Sony's firmware (FTF) matching current latest iHackers base rom (which is 257) using flashtools. Uncheck all WIPE options and exclude all EXCEPT KERNEL & BASEBAND to get latest matched kernel & baseband. Reboot and Done :good:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] xperiarcs:
OK Man

but how can i root my device now (on .257) ?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] shahzaib.khan:
same here i cant flash from that way also... this rom is so hard for me to install now i am trying to flash minimum version, i thought i have done all the process but when i factory reset ihackers full rom n install minimum version rom i got boot loop again i dont know whats the problem
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [Fenix]:
You have to do this in place of flash kernel with Flashtool

Sorry i dont understand.Can you explain more ?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] shahzaib.khan:
can any one post the video from A to Z please. this rom is so hard to flash... i dont understand which baseband n kernel this rom wants why its not running after i do all the process from OP.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gregbradley:
there will be no need. If you are on a custom rom it will already be rooted.

Here are some addedums to the install process

•Install Oficial FTF for Firmware 14.1.G.1.534.

•Root Your Phone Using VRoot or KingoApp Root. Better to root using this. Kingo, Vroot are suspicious programs.

•Backup TA Partition. (No real need if you are on locked bootloader)

•Copy the ROM to External SDCard.

•Install Dual Recovery for LB.

•Reboot into Recovery.

•Make Sure to do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset before Installing the ROM.

•Start the Installation. (Install Zip >> Choose Zip for External SDCard). (Let it finish)

•Switch Off Your Phone (Do Not Reboot) (Do this by hard resetting or going to advanced and choosing power off). Select No to Disable Flash Recovery Confirmation.

•Install Kernel.sin .257 C6903 or Kernel.sin .257 C6902 with Flashtool

•Reboot and Enjoy.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sumedha Kapoor:
I will give it a try if I could rebase the whole rom to 4.3. The 4.3 rom base is already almost ready. I have made a deodexed, zipaligned, rooted, busyboxed, tweaked and debloated purely stock rom too. If you guys want I can release it too under a separate thread.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jeroenqui:
Yes please, that would be great! Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sumedha Kapoor:
iHackers is the one who can do that, I can't. You will have to convince him for this. He is out on business at the moment and won't be back before 18th of January. I am handling his xda and other online accounts until then. Btw I am not sure he will continue that project again, he doesn't get a lot of time for xda these days. Plus he doesn't have a Xperia S anymore but he can still make the roms for it (If he would want to).

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Just tried flashing NUT's 4.3 ROM. Ended up in a bootloop. Just restored my iHackers backup and unlocked my bootloader through Sony's website. Can confirm that camera works fine and surprisingly when I half press the shutter button, the flash kicks on instantly and focuses (like people reported in the stock 4.3 ROM.) Just a heads up to everyone that all camera functionality is working fine after unlocking BL.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] m666p:
[MENTION=357613]thek[/MENTION]unx or anyone else

If I am on ihackers 1.2 and I flash the 4.3 kernel and unlock the bootloader and install doomlords kernel will I still have a working camera

All I basically want to do is undervolt the cpu and gpu and change governor's to reduce heat and I'm quite happy with ihackers 1.2 and I don't want to lose my data and(another and, sorry) I like the lag free experience on ihackers 1.2 and don't feel like updating to 4.3 till a new rom is released
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
I guess the camera is still broken (on my part at least). Since I unlocked my bootloader after I restored this rom, when I set it up I chose locked bootloader in aroma and didn't flash the kernel so I think that's why I'm having issues. I'm thinking if I go back and reinstall the rom with the unlocked BL setting then flash doomlords kernel then the one provided by iHackers, I shouldn't run into any problems.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Zorokydopy:
Lock bl and flash 4.3 firmware after that unlock again, Sony has confirmed that camera issue has been fixed in this one
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Everyone is having problems with flashable 4.3 zips. I also lost IMEI in the process. That and I didn't back up my TA partition.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] brockyneo:
hi guys i want to give this rom another try im on monx 257 i want a fresh clean install to not have any bugs (hopefully) :silly:

can i just download rom and wipe data factory reset,dalvik,cache,(internel sd to be even more clean) then flash this rom?

or am i best going back to the last stock rom and doing it from there

btw if i flash from monx do i have to flash the kernel thanks
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] sofir786:
monx latest rom and latest ihackers rom are based on the same firmware so you wont need to reflash kernel. Doing a full wipe (wipe data, cache, dalvik cache) is sufficient for a clean install.

Is this rom 4.3 yet?

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DESASTER75:
Good mornin'!

Do have two small questions for you!

1) reg. CPU-version:

Which CPU does the C6903 carry?

a) CPU 'Without VFP (PXA920)

b) With VFP

c) CoretexAx with NEON

I'm asking cause within this iHackers, it brings out 'ViPER4Android XHiFi'-Menü which is is telling me: 'In oder to use ViPER4Android, you need to install/update the V4A driver. The installation process will be done automatically. Install/update now?'! While clicking on 'YES' it shows me a~c!

Which one is the correct one: C6903? Where can I find that kind of information?

2) reg. lock-screen:

2-1) Where can I find the menue/option to change the lock-screen-wallpaper/-background? I would like to change it asap! ^^

2-2) Any chance to bring an 'circle-lock-screen-function' onto lock-screen? Atm do only have the option to unlock or to slide left/right to pick some functions!

BTW:

CR is running well so far!

Thx,

DES75
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
For Viper chose cortex with neon.

For lockscreen, it's under personalization in the settings menu.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] M-Dawg:

Since the UL bootloader issue has been fixed, is it now safe/wise to unlock the bootloader?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
It has only been fixed when you're actually on the 4.3 rom. It won't work if you're still on 4.2.2. Found that out the hard way lol.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] M-Dawg:
What would you say is my best bet if I want to be on 4.3 and rooted, but a stock Xperia rom
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Wait until one of the many devs working on a root gets it fully working. Seems like Sony pulled some KNOX **** and screwed us. Personally I think people shouldn't even worry about root right now just cause they're gonna have to go through all this again when 4.4 comes out. But then again, practice makes perfect.

---------- Post added at 03:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 AM ----------

Guess they're calling on a custom kernel dev to figure this out cause right now that seems to be the only way around this.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] codral:

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] M-Dawg:
How long do you think until 4.4 comes?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Not sure to be honest. We have fully working root now on 4.3. That and now that 4.3 was released, we're one step closer to 4.4. We'll probably get 5.0 before the Z1 reaches it's end of life, hopefully.

Just flash the central Europe 290 FTF using flashtool, then flash doom kernel. After that flash superSU UPDATE, your device should then be fully rooted if your bootloader is unlocked.
