I am using a 64GB sd card. I did have to format FAT32 and then recopy everythin....but its been working fine.

I LIKE this ROM!

---------- Post added at 03:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 AM ----------

I have been using Sony based ROMs till now...and now since I have moved to this ROM, I realise what I have been missing. This ROM is just awesome...and I am loving the battery life too. The camera works well too...(with location off and HW overlay off). I am glad I made this move.

There is just one thing that still bothers me...maybe someone can help...

I am using my phone synced with my Ford Sync (on a Ford Edge)...with the Sony ROMs I used to get the photos for contacts and the names of the person calling ..messages and all that to appear on the device...and it worked really well. But using this ROM, I notice and the contact photos dont appear and names of people calling done appear all the time..even though I can see the device has downloaded my phonebook to the device. Its certain that this is not a hardware limitation since it worked with the previously ...

I am not sure what the issue could be...?

Did u do clean install..?? did u flashed system also??

[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] pyromatic18:
Yep totally clean install and what do you mean by flashed system also? I did format system before I installed the rom.

At this point I'm starting to think maybe my download of the rom was messed up, I'll re-install after I re-download the rom to check if my issue persists.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] BLK900:
did u install or flash the extra zip ?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
ya u try that.. might that be a problem if u have done a clean install.. bcoz non of us are facing this problem.. its a problem free ROM

Call is working now perfect thanks. And gps also working tested with google maps.And video recording is working in full HD. youtube video playback in full HD is working now
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] B1nny:
Awesome, downloading as we speak and will dirty flash it over the previous ROM once I've got it. You're doing some awesome work OP!
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] MohammadAG:
Nice work, I see you've given up on GPe :P

Camera seems to stutter a lot (1 frame per 5 seconds).

There's also this, same as GPe:

E/ ( 1633): W/int loc_api_server_proc(void*):138] fail receiving msg from gpsone_daemon, retry later
E/ ( 1633): W/loc_eng_dmn_conn_glue_msgrcv:153] pipe broken -1
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jozo100:
does this use the stock kitkat launcher with the top and bottom transparency? or does it have the ugly dark none transparent?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] DAddYE:
Not really :D

Yep camera is still a work in progress but [MENTION=2492127]Kali-[/MENTION] knows more about that.

About the gps pretty strange, I don't have any gps error at all, since maybe could be few I also double checked with

$ adb logcat | grep loc_eng_dmn_conn_glue_msgrcv => nothing
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] DAddYE:
It has translucent bar/nav
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jozo100:
Thanks. I installed the rom and now whenI try and update via stock team win recovery it doesn't read any of my zip files, cant flash anything? cant even restore backup as its on CWM :(
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] yoyoyed:
Frame rate is in full hd recording 29.7 fps
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jozo100:
never mind for some reason when i download the files via phone it was saved as .zip; :S all good now.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] eCaravanier:
Really impressed by this rom, gonna keep it as a daily driver. I regret the current lack of 4G slightly but it's not really vital. My biggest issue right now is that it won't mount my SD card. Still pretty happy with what we have now, I was pretty impatient to get 4.4 :D

Cheers to the OP.

EDIT : Also just notcied an odd thing, the navigation bar comes back after every reboot even though it's disabled in the settings. Fixed by toggling on and off the navbar. I should mention that I'm using Gravitybox, but I disabled the general Navbar section, so it shouldn't interfere with Slimkat's own toggle.

Weird volume bug.

Rom version: Slimkat v3 (Slim-4.4.2.beta.2.1-UNOFFICIAL-20140107-1540.zip)

Other mods: XPosed Framework

Observation:

Volumes don't change until at least one DSP manager setting is enabled. After DSP is enabled with headset plugged in, if the headset is unplugged then plugged in again, will fail to pick it up and device will continue to play music from phone speaker. Headset won't work again until reboot.

Logcat:

How I produced error while recording logcat:

Rebooted device > played music > plugged headset in (music played from headset)> toggled volume (no change in audio levels)> Enabled Bass Boost in DSP > changed volume (audio levels changed) > unplugged headset > played music through speaker > plugged headset back in (music kept playing through speaker).

hi Guys

I am thinking of unlocking BL to use this rom! easily best rom I had when I was using the Note range.

However just curious, how is the camera performance with this rom compared to stock?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] aidicula:
This was one of my concerns as well...I have to say that the camera does work fine...however I still prefer the sony camera app. The interface on that was much better and the quality of some pics I had taken seemed better. I am not sure if this is just a feeling ...wish we could try them both together some how..
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] CappyT:
Yeah, like every non-stock based rom.

Sent from CyanogenMod11 - all stock roms are laggy!
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Superbia:
I liked the sony stock camera app too. I am not sure, but might go back to stock rom once 4.4.2 is released. It all depends on the state of custom roms vs stock at the time. There was some talk about everything having been fixed, but still not seen a version released of any rom where all of Kali's fixes are implemented so I guess something went wrong along the way.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] subhramani:
I would LOVE it if had an option to dual boot between vanilla and stock Sony ROMs. **sigh**

I gave the rom a spin and I have some problem with the camera focus. It seems the shutter button doesn't have the focus effect it should and touching the screen for focus goes from unfocus -> focus -> unfocus. I need to time my images for when it's in focus. This is nothing new for this build, just that I was hoping it might have been fixed which it was not.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ilia1985:
Have u changed auto focus mode in settings? If not change it from continuous to auto and it should work fine...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Superbia:
Thanks, that seems to have partially fixed it. I still need to set macro mode manually for close ups but a lot better then continuous.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] HeavyMoertel:
I really like the new build, it's running fine so far.

But it seems the scaling has changed drastically, it looks more like a tablet port now instead of a phone ROM.

Is there any way to change the dpi or something?

Same here

With the new RC2 there isn't any error, no freezes but this error with the loosing network on placing call is amusing. Everyone can call me but i am not able to call anyone :)

Since there isn't any phone.apk or anything else there isn't a possibility to handle this :) Waiting for an answer of the devs....

[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Guys you should be more careful about flashing random builds. That's my goo folder that usually hold test/unstable builds. Z1 won't see official until after we role out stable because I have to redo frameworks native and av. But considering you guys have already confirmed it mostly works I'll open a thread here and upload a build to start ironing out things.

It's been pretty solid as a dd for me
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Kingcool88:
Ive been running RC1 since the release on my Z1 and im loving the speed and batterytime!

Great work on the rom guys!

Any news on the device tree that you said was really unstable [MENTION=3160680]DAddYE[/MENTION] ?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] TrialReg:
RC1 and before wasn't stable for me on C6903. It got sudden freeze and really much probs while phoning. sometimes i can not take the call, sometime i can not call and so on.

The RC2 we got of you is rock solid, no freezes at all, but i am not able to make a call. but everyone can call me.

The Normal date error is already present what means whatsapp and other apps were telling to set correct time but few seconds later it works.

Call Quality is also good

Camera works rock solid.

Wifi Works...

GPS didn't tested yet. <--- was so happy that all the other things worked....

Thank you so much :)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
RC 2 has a brand new kernel kali- set up. Fixed the random reboot problem I was having. The making call should be fixed (at least it is on the build I'm using ) gps is also working fine for me. What I can't test is NFC and I haven't tested bt. There still seem to be some problems with hw acceleration but it's only happened to me once and with the browser

Hey do you think you could possibly help [MENTION=5288212]moritz31[/MENTION] when you have some time? He has a pretty flawless rom at the moment but has a few issues that could be worked out. When I was using your rom as a daily, I've never had any RAM leaks and it's pretty bad on his rom but it's nothing that he caused. I just think cause it wasn't officially supported, that's why.

Sdcard is working fine no problem y have a 16gb ultra
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] B1nny:
Hmm that's odd.

When I reboot into recovery, adb shell in and get my mounts this is what it shows for my external sdcard:

/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 on /external_sd type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,max_read=131072,blksize=4096)

Now I've Googled "fuseblk" and this came as a short and quick answer:

Ther short answer is that "fuseblk" is just how an ntfs partition is reported via the "mount" command, among others. The "fuse" part comes from FUSE (file system in userspace).

I don't have a clue how my SD-card ended up as NTFS though.. lol.

Edit:

Found this line in my recovery.log:

I:cmd: /sbin/exfat-fuse -o big_writes,max_read=131072,max_write=131072 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /external_sd

And talked to someone, looks like my SD-card is indeed exFAT. I don't have a card reader here so I can't confirm it. So I will just format it and report back then.
