Is there 2way call rec in v1.1?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
Did you get any error while flashing dual recovery? after flashing dual recovery it'll automatically bring you into cwm recovery while saying it's waiting for device or something, does that happen?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Yeah when you boot to the rom and let everything load, plug your phone into your computer, run the dual recovery file, press 1 if you have superSU, allow adb access through your root app, your phone will restart and boot into cwm, just restart through cwm, and the dual recovery command prompt will say successful and you should have both recoveries. Let me know if that doesn't work.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zyxel25:
anyone?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] tsmt971@yahoo:
Yes, I saw the waiting for device message after flashing dual recovery then It brought my phone to iHacker ROM.

I think there must me some thing during flashing the v1.1 that disabled my recovery. I am 100% sure that I selected no to disable customized recovery then flash the kernel .257 ftf.

I am now back to stock with dual recovery. I will reflash the iHacker v1.1 to see if any difference.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheKnux:
Well I just flashed v1.0 the rom and didn't flash the kernel and everything worked fine. Then I flashed v1.1 and it wiped my recovery, didn't even give me the option to disable recovery or whatever. After I flashed 1.1 I found out recovery didn't work so I flashed dual recovery again and it worked fine.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zyxel25:
when instaling this rom does it remove my TA?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Banwell13:
LBE Security Master

Any chance of a version without the LBE security master. I hate it. I should be an optional extra not a must have
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] mamenvn:
It' ok
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zyxel25:
how about the ta partition? does it remove when installing it?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] xkawsx:
So you can just flash it over the monx rom without wipe, losing any data?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zyxel25:
after flashing the v1.1 i cant find the xposed mod.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
Like you, I lost recovery too after flashing 1.1 but all it took was to reflash dual recovery and it worked again. Yes try reflashing it and make sure you follow every step right. Pick the right choice either SuperSu or Superuser and to grant permission before continuing.

In aroma options, tick stock settings not dark.

It's better to wipe data for a clean install. Dirty flashing from another rom usually gives me a problem later on so I'd have to do a clean install either ways. Just follow the instructions given to install this rom.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] sm.vassallo:
As far I can tell no it does not remove it but as part of flashing any ROM for the Z1 i always backup the TA partition.

so for me Backup, Backup and Backup again.

Then I know i can continue with that piece of mind that I have done everything to be safe.

:good:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Banwell13:
I like the look though

But I like the look of the dark settings just dont want that app, is it not possible
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
Install dark settings and once booted use TB and freeze or remove LBE master app.

After doing so reboot and you will still see it in settings but when you click on it the settings app will close

Don't worry no other function of the settings app or any app on your phone will be effected by doing this.

I have tried this and it works you don't have to worry about LBE anymore after this.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zyxel25:
What is the size.of the backup ta of xperia z1?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slackerz_86:
boot animation

hey guys,so far I am totally satisfied with this iHackers Rom.

but how do i get the bootanimation as stock? i wanna change iHacker boot animation to stock animation.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] coolhead:
Maybe i'm missing it... but how do i activate 4K recording?

Or is it down sampling to 1080?

In the app i can only choose for 1920x1080 or 1280x720 and MMS.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] B1nny:
Read the OP.

Edit:

If you can't figure out the OP, read through the thread.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Ahki767:
Mine is around 140 kb but yours might be different. As long as the backup is successful, you'll be fine. Just backup twice is if you want to be absolutely sure.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
Just followed all your steps with my LB Z1, everything seems to be fine, i'll give my feedback after playing a little bit more with this, thanks :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] coolhead:
Okay, page 14 that is..

OP isn't really clear if it's playback or recording.

But NO 4K recording, just playback.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Markieboy:
apn...

Decided to do a clean install of 1.1, yes you do have to reflash to get recovery again but its easy.... my issue is the rom dont detect my apn etc no biggie but just wondered if anyone else (who clean installed) has found this??

Great rom by the way :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
This is my feedback:

1- No Google Play store installed

2- tried installing Play Store with the Modded Package, i find out that my status bar has disappear

3- I have managed to get it working by reverting back to the official Playstore App using the same application :)

Thank you
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] y2grae:
try re-flashing.

I found this one too on first flash. re-flashed and all was solved
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jirka607:
Can someone tell me about battery life so i can compare with mine? thanks
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
Can't find also the other camera functions, like social live etc...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kenken2800:
You can find social live on play store
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dagrim1:
Awesome rom, installed it over monxified and works pretty fine that way... Just a few things:

1. Recovery is lost after flashing rom, fixed by reinstalling dual recovery

2. Would be nice to have LBE security manager as an option

3. Statusbar is acting weird. Disappearing (but coming back after a few boots). And can not get transparency to work.

4. It's kinda unclear for me what happens if I select multiple things in Aroma (for example Dark System UI as well as Stock System UI, which one is chosen? Also glass apps as well as standard gapps... etc)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] 3r1k:
I don't notice any difference in battery life. as usual android system and kernel suck battery life so I believe any rom will suffer same problems and no rom will help battery life.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slackerz_86:
Answer for Question 1

for number 1, there is a Flashable Zip for recovery which u can flash, so that u won't need to reflash the custom recovery everytime. look for it in the first few pages of this topic. I flashed that, and i don't have to reflash the recovery everytime. take a look at page 8, a post by iHackers regarding recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zyxel25:
Mine is 98kb is it okay?

and after flashing v1.1 i cant see the app that i included in the aroma why?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dagrim1:
Awesome, cheers... Somehow missed that one when goin through the pages. Makes things a lot easier indeed :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] M-Dawg:
Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slackerz_86:
Here is my conclusion abt this Rom.

I installed v1.0 over my stock rooted .534 with dual recovery. First installation, success. But alot of things which i don't need like xposed stuffs and lbe. So i uninstall all those with RomToolbox.

When v1.1 came, i flashed it over but with stock settings and no glass apps at all. Love the as-near-stock rom without the mods.

Just few things, how do i change iHackers boot animation to stock? And where can i get smaller dpi softkeys as the one given for softkey problem are not available animore.

My battery usage... One whole day I'm outside, listening to music, going to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Whatsapp... Better than stock Rom.

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

I have a question about this step in the instructions for flashing this rom with a locker bootloader.

You have to be on stock firmware when you root your phone, and then that step says you need to install the .257 kernel with flashtool. When you do that will your firmware be updated to .257 when you flash the rom? In other words, will you then be rooted and on .257 firmware?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zyxel25:
where can i download the stock themes?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gioiellino:
Can samebody upload a working sony update centre please. I install one but Fc
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
Just follow the op instructions. If you are on earlier firmware than 257 and you will rooted if you are installing this rom...

Install the rom and then make sure to refresh recovery straight after that using the recovery zip file... Then use to power off the phone from there itself.

Connect with flash tool while holing down volume button and then flash the 257 kernel once done the reboot the phone.

You will have the latest 257 kernel which is stock and this custom rom working fine.

Plus you will be rooted with recovery still installed.

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------

I don't this Sony update service works on this custom rom that's why it wasn't added by the Dev in the first place.

Even if you get it working on this custom rom it will not download updates or if it does it will fail to install or mess up your rom and your phone since Sony official update service is to be used with only stock roms.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ptoner:
Finally got my phone back in working order. Had to install all the drivers for Flashtool and then it worked. Also decided to install original firmware then root. Root didn't work and read about the issues with vroot and kingo. Taking phone details etc and sending them to servers in China. Just gonna stay with official firmware until after the 4.4 upgrade, then will worry about ROMs after Sony fix bootloader/camera issues.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] sm.vassallo:
Glad you are up and running now, have you got the forum post about vroot and.kingo sending info to servers in china?

Thanks, flashing the official ROM tonight. Unless something like CFRoot i am staying on the official firmware.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zyxel25:
why is the superior auto is stuck at 20mp?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gioiellino:
GOOD... flashtool drivers... :))
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ptoner:
Yes you were 100% correct! Thankfully I tried it at home as well as in work. Installed all the Sony drivers, every single one.

Worked first time after that! Many thanks Gioiellino!

Will just give ROM's and rooting a break until after 4.4 is released and the bootloader/camera issues are sorted.

More importantly, a proper way to root the device! :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] sm.vassallo:
The Dev set it at that I believe, Sony set it at 8mp I think.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Use this Rooting Kit. Its a perfectly safe method of rooting and doesn't have any issues associated with it.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] sm.vassallo:
Looked at this before but it didn't have Z1 support at the time.

OK cool I will take a look tonight :) :good:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jirka607:
I think the auto mode would be better at 8mp or 13mp

and leave the 20mp for manual?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slonn:
Trying to install this over Monxified rom but keep getting into bootloops once the Sony logo appears. These are the steps:

- Made full wipe/factory reset

- Flashed iHackers minimal version 1.1 in twrp

- Flashed dual recovery in twrp

- Powered phone off in twrp

- Power phone on and it goes into bootloops

Since I'm coming from the Monxified rom it shouldn't be necessary to root the phone again and flash the latest kernel. Or is that wrong?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] ptoner:
This is what exactly happened my device as well. Totally screwed up. I carried out the same procedures as you have done.

It simply does not work well with Monxified ROM.

You will have to install, all the drivers from FlashTool and re flash the original firmware, and start from scratch.

I did that and still it would not work. Give it a go though first, like zyxel25 says.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dagrim1:
Flashed if from Monxified as well and works without an issue here (but I flashed dual recovery afterwords using the 'official' files. Also did not wipe data or anything).
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] zyxel25:
how to put back the long press on the quick settings?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slonn:
So you did a dirty flash - I thought that wasn't recommended. And you flashed the dual recovery via your pc?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dagrim1:
As dirty as possible :) I usually try the easiest way first, and if that messes up I can always do the clean way (wipe and all). I know about the possible issues but do not appear to have any atm.

better than 8mp as default!!

[MENTION=4976309]iHackers[/MENTION] can you set 20mp to 16:9 ???
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dagrim1:
Not for everyone...

For me 20MP is overkill, I prefer 8 or maybe 13 or something.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gioiellino:
OK i mean the setting 20mp is very good.. but that is stuck you are right.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jirka607:
I agree maybe 13mpx for auto mod will be more than enough and 20mpx for manual mode ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slonn:
Tried a dirty flash and that just causes the phone to reboot itself about 10 seconds after the lock screen appears. Then tried to do a complete reinstall and followed the instructions in the OP to the letter. Everything worked find except there are absolutely no icons on the statusbar - it is completely black :(

Ok, downloading Internet Settings brought the icons to the status bar. Is it possible to change the size of the navigation bar? I prefer the size to be 32

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dagrim1:
Weird stuff, that status bar has been acting up for me as well btw... I now flashed the SystemUI or framework (don't even know anymore) from RomAur which gives me transparent status/navigation bar and that works fine for me. Guess I'll leave it like this for now.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
Use the exposed module called Xblast and from that you can change the look and size of your navigation keys.

Ok now everything is ok :)

Flashed rom minimal and after this i have flashed the C6903_14.1.G.2.257_GLOBAL-LTE.ftf excluding Partition, Ta, Fota, System and Elabel with flashtool...

Now will install the addons pack :)

Here are some screens:

Best regards
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] sm.vassallo:
Did you leave the baseband and unknown unticked?

Also did you leave ticked under Wipe: Appslog, Cache & Data?

I presume flashing part of the 257 Global flashes the kernel needed?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [Fenix]:
Oh yes untick also all the wipe...yes with this process you flash all that is nedeed (you can also compare the box "Content" of flashtool with the content of the file "Xperia Z1 C6903 - 14.1.G.2.257.sin" (you can download the file in the OP and open it with 7-zip)

When the rom is settle, i suggest you also to install the recovery (you can find it here)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] sm.vassallo:
Ok I got it, just leaving the baseband unticked flashes the 3 amss files and loader.sin.

With your process can I flash the full fat Aroma version of this ROM and the the baseband from the 257 global?

Also I have the UK unbranded 257, can I use that is instead of the global as it is the 257 baseband?

The recovery you mention is the one i was going to use not the one in the OP.

Can't wait for your screenshots :)

Can I flash this Rom on top of monox's rom or do I have to do a factory reset?

I don't think so because even if the two roms are based on the same frimware they have different tweak, mod ecc...then maybe you should do a full wipe for not having fc...

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] peddarson:
Tanks for this sweet development. Seems like a interesting Rom.

One thing though:

You said at the audiopart that songs below 256kbs are converted to 320kbs.

It is kind of nonesens because you cannot put the quality back from a lower bitrate. The frequencies are basically cut off.

Also, if you reconvert a mp3file you always lose more quality.

So in the end I'd say, you should delete this feature.

too me, but you can change it with Xposed Framework settings (first flag modules to settings/xposed framework/modules)

and then you can change graphics with Xblast tools/Xuimod and Xposed additional apps
