Please read the Changelog for v2.0 from the OP. White Balance has been implemented since the last version thats the reason Sumedha added that ++ thingy at the bottom of the changelog. :p
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] tomascus:
First impressions on 2.1

-Fast and smooth as always

-Ermm... amazing

Problems:

- Cannot seem to use Xposed Framework, it claimed somethingbridge.jar was missing, fixed by flashing xposedframework for LB by monx zip.

- My Play Store is missing? Fixed by pushing playstore apk from internet to phone

Can anyone confirm these?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Thanks a lot for the quick feedback.

Xposed Framework: I have personally tested it and it is working well. Did you press the Install/Update button in the Settings/iHackers/Xposed Framework/Framework and then reboot? You on LB or UB?

Play Store: There are 2 Options in the Aroma Installer to install the Play Store. One is the Standard Small Gapps on the 1st Page and Second is Install Google Play in the Glass Apps Page. If you would have chosen either one of them, the play store would have worked fine. Anyway, I am glad that you sorted it out alternatively. :p

I have received a report that folk are unhappy about an iHackers "Contributors" version.

To report such things you should go to the post and use the triangle icon above it to report it if you think the rules are being breached. In addition the forum moderators for this section are:

What I can say is that it is not permitted on this site, to require Members to make a donation (that would make it a payment) or require them to do certain things first before gaining access to a download. Any Dev can have such things of course but they cannot post about it here as we only allow links to freely available downloads here. Donations must be entirely voluntary and those who donate should not get more than those who do not.

already tried that... disable everything in sound enhancements and select V4A for music effects but V4A still give no differences, I use jet audio plus and walkman

And just realize seeder also can't be use, it said seeder was unable to start RNG service. Maybe i will try to re-flash the rom

THAT IS NOT TRUE. I guess I would have explained the things a bit more before leaving for work today.

[MENTION=4816245]funky0308[/MENTION] Please don''t make a mess of things without reading what I have explained in such good detail and make everyone think that I am working for money here.

THIS IS A VERY VERY VERY VERY BIG MISUNDERSTANDING. [MENTION=4816245]funky0308[/MENTION] I AM HOLDING YOU FOR CREATING THIS MISUNDERSTANDING IN EVERYONE'S MINDS AND MY OWN STUPIDITY FOR NOT VISITING XDA FOR A WHOLE DAY, NOT EVEN ONCE AND SEE WHATS HAPPENING HERE AND NOT EXPLAINING THINGS.

READ WHAT I WROTE ABOUT CONTRIBUTORS VERSION:

This Version is basically my way of thanking everyone who has contributed for the Development of this ROM. My Prime Focus will always be on improvement and provide best support for this version. All other versions are actually the Derivative of This Version. In reality this version is something that I make for myself and I have never released anything as such before and now the very reason behind releasing is it to make everyone feel special who has contributed or helped me in any possible way.

This Version will not be released publicly, although I will publicly share the link for download but the actual download will require the user to login first. Everyone who feels that he has helped me in any possible way either by Donation, Thread Maintenance and Support, Suggestions, Bug Reporting, Feedback or any other type of Contribution and feels that he/she should have access to this should PM me and If I find it to be true I will send those credentials to you. Once you have those Login Credentials you will be able to download every such file on all my websites that requires Login/Registration in future too.

It doesn't mean that I WILL STOP RELEASING OTHER VERSIONS LIKE AROMA VERSION AND MINIMAL VERSION THAT I HAVE ALWAYS RELEASED. I NEVER SAID THAT.

I HAVE NOT TURNED MY ROM TO "DOWNLOAD IF YOU HAVE PAID" I WILL NEVER DO THAT. THAT THING IS AGAINST XDA'S RULES AND AGAINST MY RULES AND KILLS THE WHOLE SPIRIT OF DEVELOPMENT AND OF XDA. OHHHH GOD HOW DID YOU GUYS EVEN THINK OF IT. THAT WOULD BE UGLY, I WOULD DIE BEFORE DOING THAT.

THIS IS MAKING ME SICK. I DON'T THINK I WANT TO DEVELOP ANYMORE. I WILL RELEASE THE OTHER VERSIONS THAT I HAD UPLOADED IN THE MORNING AND THIS WILL PROBABLY BE MY LAST RELEASE ON XDA.

I will remove this contributors version instantly and stop this mess right now and then explain what exactly all this was meant for and what [MENTION=4816245]funky0308[/MENTION] made it look like.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] KennyG123:
You cannot sell ROMs on XDA

Any contributor should ask for a refund if the purpose was to purchase the contributor edition

OP please remove ANY references to ANY benefit for contributors. That is not how things are done on XDA

Donations are meant ONLY if you appreciate someone's work, not to purchase ANYTHING on XDA
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] deli pastrami:
I can't seem to figure out why this is happening

I wipe the phone

Install iHackers v2.1 then flash dual recovery (2.7.71 beta)

flash kernel thing

But when I boot into iHackers I can't get into recovery with vol up or vol down. The only way thats worked for me is by using the XZU recovery for windows .bat file.

In the aroma installer i saw there was an option to install TWRP. Since I am LB should i leave this checked or unckecked?

Any suggestions? Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
First of of all I am sorry for creating this misunderstanding in the first place. I don't want to fight over this with [MENTION=4816245]funky0308[/MENTION] or anyone over this. But I would like to explain things a bit more.

FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING:

I am the CEO of the company iHackers, That word should explain how good I earn. Please think logically for one second, Do you really think that I would be so money oriented that I would think of XDA as a earning ground? XDA is something that I do for fun and not for money. I am not even a Android Developer not even by a long shot. Even the thought of selling something on "XDA" makes me sick.

SECOND: REASON

I always follow the rules. The only reason why this all became such a big mess in the first place is because of my stupidity of not clarifying things. The other reason being SUMEDHA KAPOOR UPDATED THE OP and she was stupid enough not to even tell me what exactly she wrote on the OP. She has been doing this for all my ROMs and I would have never thought that for once that something like this could happen. Although on reading it, I should have been clear that I never meant to SELL anything. I asked her to update the OP and release a Contributors Version (Which was actually meant to be a give-away to everyone who has ever contributed or helped by Donation, Thread Maintenance and Support, Suggestions, Bug Reporting, Feedback or any other type of Contribution). If you can see a bit more clearly the DONATION is not the only thing mentioned over there. It was something that I worked very very very hard on and wanted to be a gift to everyone who helped me. [MENTION=3584083]DESASTER75[/MENTION] You never donated or contributed to something but I still sent you the link as soon as you asked for it, didn't I? Please tell me If I am lying about it.

THIRD: CLARIFICATION

Contributors Version was a stupid mistake which turned out to be a very very very big misunderstanding just because I let someone else write up what I had in my mind. Its not like Sumedha Kapoor wrote something wrong but it certainly could have been explained in a better way. Even the newbie user who have read the XDA's Rules just for once can understand that doing something like that would be getting banned forever and losing all the support that he had from everyone. I run a company and you guys think that I wouldn't think and know the value of those rules? XDA is just like sacred place for all the developers out there and doing something like that would disgrace all the hardwork that everyone has ever done.

FOURTH: SUMMARY

Contributors Version was not meant to be something that I wanted to sell on XDA. It was meant to be my gift to everyone who has supported me until now. This was all a very big misunderstanding, misreading and misinterpretation of the words.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Lets clear this misunderstanding once and for all.

Again, I never said that v2.1 will be for DONATORS ONLY. My ROM has 2 versions already, I wanted to add a new version that will be released a bit earlier than the other two so that I can get insights of what should be improved in the public release. If I release that in public then everyone will have access to it and it won't be a BETA VERSION anymore. It was meant to be released first so that I would get the valuable feedbacks and list of the things that could be improved in the public release. I DIDN'T MAKE IT TO BE A DONATORS ONLY VERSION. It was meant for everyone who helped me or supported me by Donation, Thread Maintenance and Support, Suggestions, Bug Reporting, Feedback or any other type of Contribution. I simply gave the link to everyone who asked me via PM so that I would get the insights beforehand releasing the Public Versions (Aroma Version and Minimal Version). It was only meant for the betterment of the Public Release.

IF YOU ARE CALLING DONATION TO RELEASE A SPECIFIC ROM FOR ONLY THE DONATORS! THAT MEANS THE OTHER MEMBERS ARE NOT WELCOME TO TEST ANY OF YOUR ROMS AGAIN! :

First of all I never called in for donation, If someone would have simply asked me for the link via PM I would have given it to him.

Secondly: I did not make the ROM SPECIFIC FOR DONATORS. It was the Contributors VERSION. The word "Version" should specify that there are going to other "Versions" too. Everyone who wanted access to it was given access to it.

For Proof: Ask [MENTION=3584083]DESASTER75[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4675360]tomascus[/MENTION] what I said to them in PM.

White Balance isnt activated on Boot for me it works once i open App but if i add

# White Balance

display_color_calib

to any Script that executes on boot such as install_recovery it works fine after Boot. Not a big deal but i thought i would share it.

Sent you a PM too
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] deli pastrami:
Since I was already on 2.0 I already had root, etc......

1)I wipe the phone

2)Install iHackers v2.1 then flash dual recovery (2.7.71 beta) ---> shutoff phone

3)flash kernel thing with flashtool

4)reboot

But when I boot into iHackers I can't get into recovery with vol up or vol down, or the advanced reboot into recovery function. The only way thats worked for me is by using the XZU recovery for windows .bat file.

In the aroma installer i saw there was an option to install TWRP. Since I am LB should i leave this checked or unckecked?

What am I doing incorrectly? Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] punkt:
small question. i installed successfully these rom(aroma version) . now i would like to run aroma installer again with other options. do i need to flash 290 kernel again after this?

Yes that's what I used. The latest dual flash able zip from his page
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sumedha Kapoor:
Announcement: Aroma Version (v2.1) and Minimal Version (v2.1) Released.

[MENTION=4976309]iHackers[/MENTION] I am really really very sorry that you had to suffer such taunts because of my foolishness. This would have never happened if you didn't have such a blind trust on me that you didn't even read what I posted. If I would have explained things better then it would have never come to this. I am really very sorry. :crying:

[MENTION=1007992]everyone[/MENTION]: I never expected you guys to be so ungratefully insulting to someone who has been working sooooooo hard for you guys infact of the fact that he doesn't need to. Damm't guys! He is a CEO of a very big firm thats about to go international. He doesn't even have to step out of his bed all day. He has several developers working under him who are a looooot better than him at Android Development. If he ever wanted to sell something, with his brilliant mind, he could have made something a lot better and on a large scale with their help (which exactly can't be called help as they are technically working for him). No wonder he doesn't want to develop anymore. Honestly, who would like to work on something that instead of being beneficial in anyway, is rather being insulting. :mad

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] DESASTER75:
Hi!

On LB:

- follow OP in detail!

- if you should be GERMAN, please PM me

On UB:

- follow OP in detail!

Both OPs are valid for 2.1, too! Only ROM-version and FULL-ROOT-NUT-DUAL-Recoveries are different (= updated)!

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] deli pastrami:
On LB

I lose any option to go into any recovery (vol up or down) when following op instructions verbatim.

I'm coming from 2.0 and the only way I can get back to recovery after putting 2.1 is if I run the dual recovery .Bat for Windows..... But then that's just cwm and not dual.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Crean:
Does the new 2.1 Version have FULL ROOT??? Maybe I'm blind to the... :)

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] KennyG123:
Final note on this subject and we will consider it closed

There can be NO incentive to donate allowed, this includes any type of beta access, or password downloads

If I see anymore posts asking for a PM for a password and ID there will be trouble

The only reason to donate is if you like the current work you have received

Donations are not for continued development either...it is appreciation...period.

I have cleaned some posts and may clean more on this subject to prevent anyone from thinking they will get something for donating

I hope this is VERY clear and ends the discussion

Thank you for your cooperation

Alright, finally flashed V2.1 on LB ..

1st Attempt

- Went into TWRP, I was already on V2.0

- Selected wipe option and wiped System, Cache and Dalvik all three.

- Then went into install option and selected ihackers V2.1 and then added two more .zip files which were, SuperSU fix and Nut's Dual recovery latest version flashable .zip file.

- Once in ihackers aroma installer, selected NO KERNELs since I on LB

- Under Misc options I selected Standard Gapps and other stuff which I wanted, I did not select Dark apps or LBE app or TWRP Recovery.

- from the last set of options I selected Adway only

- Installed and unchecked the option to reboot, but when I clicked okay, due to TWRP issue I think it shut down, I know in TWRP the screen goes off automatically but this was not the case, the phone actually shut down since I checked.

- I had to hold the power and up volume button and the phone vibrated 3 times and then left the volume up and kept power button pressed, the phone vibrated once and then left the power button.

- Phone booted, and I still had recovery since it vibrated and showed green LED.

- anyways let the phone boot up and once all done, I checked and I did not have Super user, so went back to TWRP and installed the SU Fix .zip file, still after reboot, no super user.

- Finally, went back to TWRP and flashed the SUupdate .zip file which was attached on this thread or in QnA thread and then it worked.

- Got super user back.

- Again since was already on V2.0 I did not flash the FTF kernel file again

Things working for me in this update:

- Xposed modules work perfectly, all which I wanted atleast.

- Adway works but when you enbale it and then reboot the device, after reboot the adway is automatically disabled --- This needs to be looked into.

- The rom is fast and great as usual.

- BIGGEST UPDATE FOR ME THAT NOW THE GOOGLE EXPEREINCE LAUNCHER IS WORKING PERFECTLY!! now more FC when you use the okay google hotword and search for something using google voice. Thanks Dev for this...

So this has been my expereince, since CWM Philz Recovery does not detect external sd yet atleast for me, if you want to install this new update rom then suggest you copy this rom and super user app .zip file and recovery .zip into internal first and then flash them all before first reboot. This will make things easy since in Philz recovery after rom installtion the device does not reboot or power off by itself.

Great Rom update Dev... love it ... thanks.

please keep up developenent. this device needs it! everybody here wants full root and deveoper support, so just think about what is beeing posted here, think about donating some money for a beer. without people working hard in their free time, we would only have a stock z1 - bad idea. hope people here calm down and start beeing happy developement went that far within the last few weeks.

after flashing the rom i flash v.71 of nuts recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kischde:
You need to wipe cache before changes will take effect. If it doesn´t work after wiping cache, you might pull the apks that you want out of the zip file and copy them to your SDcard. After that you can copy them using a file manager (I recommend Total Commander from play store) from SD into /data/app. Set permission to 644 for each file and it should be fine.

Confirmed, it IS fully rooted.

ROFL :cyclops: nice one, mate :D

For me it works again. Activating the hosts file in system takes some time, more as I expected, but it works though.

Damnit, I hope we get your phone adfree soon ^^ that´s an absurdity we don´t get it!

Doesn't the rom have a recovery installed.I noticed you have to flash recovery twice as stated in op.

Can't we just wipe and install rom on LB for those who already have recovery and are running a different custom rom 290?

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] kischde:
How´s it now? Did that work for you now? Don´t forget to change permissions to 644, that´s important :)

Full ack ^^ That goddamn Knox thingy made me sell my S4. To be honest it was a good move over to the Z1. Development is on a good way already. Z1 has maybe not that many devs, but those who ARE developing do their very best and the efforts within last 4 weeks were great (Android 4.3, full root - thanks from me to the devs again!! They all have my biggest respect).

As for now I don´t believe that I might return to Samsung phones. Knox was too annoying, I didn´t want it nor I needed it. As an option to choose it would´ve been ok but that way - no way.

And I´m very satisfied with my Z1, it will stay some time with me :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jagdesh:
Please flash super user app zip file in recovery and wipe cache and dalvik and then reboot.. You will be fine after that

---------- Post added at 11:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

Since you come from 4.3 rom you already have the correct kernel installed so only install the ihackers and the install the Super user app and then flash dual recovery to be on the safe side and then reboot and enjoy.

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 PM ----------

By flashing recovery after rom installation is only a precaution.. If after reboot you loose your recovery the you will need to flash it through pc.. Therefore to safe flash recovery again after rom flash

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------

What kind of problems are you having.?

Are you on LB or UB?

What options did you select during installation?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] adamo86:
Is there a link for flashing superuser?or should flashing recovery at the end do the job?
