Re: Confirm what this ROM upgrade will achieve?

Hi,

You sound just like me before I upgraded the my phone.... I was happy with the phone except it was a bit sluggish and the battery life was not fantastic (about 2.5 days)

So I sat and thought for a long time, then remembered that I have handset insurance, and I know its not right but..... I thought if the worst happens then my phone will take a bath and I can get a new one.

Here are my answers to your questions:

1. Slightly more speed, less lag when you swap from portrate to landscape. Better battery live (4.5 days average use)

2. You should find the links from a search on the forums (PM me for the links if you need them) The ROM will not change, but lokwiz will (just search for that)

3. Follow the process that I put up a few posts and follow the instructions from the applications/upgrades you should be ok.

4. Follow the instructions to the letter, don't reset/unconnect during the process

5. Take the phone for a swim / get to bootloader mode and start again.

I am happy that I changed the ROM on my phone, the battery life is much better and the phone is more responsive.

If you just want to remove the O2 software there are a number of pages on here that list the best way to remove them. btw - I did that first and it did speed thinks up some, but not as much as the new ROM.

Have fun, bite the bullet and go for it........

Re: Confirm what this ROM upgrade will achieve?

Bilbo

Thanks for the swift response and for tackling each of the points in my overlong post.

I will wait to find a couple of hours sometime this week to take the plunge and will report back (fun or otherwise) for the benefit of others.

Thanks again.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] llcoolj:
Denny - why don't you do a little tune up to start with on the rom that you have at present. The O2 customisation software is junk and it's that which is responsible for slowing your device down.

Do a hard reset (this will default the unit back to as you bought it) but when the windows install is finished and you see the customisation software starting to load, do a soft reset which will leave you with a bare WM5 device but one that will have improved performance.

You can always do another hard reset and leave the O2 software to install if you wanted to go back to the original.

Once you've gone through this a few times a full rom upgrade won't seem so scary.

[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Derpinson:
not fixed yet
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] yoyoyed:
Derpinson can you stop wich this nonses every thing is working ok y think the problem is you sound is working camera works flashlight works and the time date is solved on the latest version
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] DAddYE:
I think I fixed the sound picker issue and the date thing, date was weird because happens just at boot time, after that android os set it correctly. There are many others complaining about that but mostly now I want to enable correct date time into twrp.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] B1nny:
I don't have the date issue anymore since a few builds, can't exactly recall when it stopped. Right now WhatsApp doesn't nag about the date when booting my phone though.

I'm not very sure about sound yet either, will do some testing right away.

Edit:

Right now when DSP Manager is not enabled the sound issue is present. However if you enable a setting in DSP Manager it works fine. Also, if you disable the setting in DSP Manager again after turning it on it still works. These settings will be lost on reboot though.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] DAddYE:
Indeed, doesn't happens always and mostly I would be able to backup from twrp with a real date instead of 1970. This is my real concern. That said is common on any ROM I tried. Hopefully [MENTION=2492127]Kali-[/MENTION] will update GPS or HW heheh
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ilia1985:

Problems with playing some higher end games. Get a black screen or a not responding pop up.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] B1nny:
That's most likely due to the HW composer not fully working. (or not working at all)

Did you try to reboot your device yet? Last night I had trouble playing YouTube video's and after a restart it worked again.

[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] TheKnux:
What do you mean? The individual modules?

Sent from my Beast from the East
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] MohammadAG:
Xposed hooks deep into dalvik's JIT compiler. Ideally when it works with it, modules don't need any update. Keep in mind it's not a simple switch, Xposed's non UI parts need to be rewritten.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] TheKnux:
Even though I've been using, rooting, and flashing Android for years, I still don't quite understand how it works. Just think it's the best (mobile) OS available. Maybe you could look into it since you've helped many devs on our Z1 forum? ;P

Sent from my Beast from the East
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] radjad:
Xposed changes the process of Dalvik JIT compilation to include the changes set by each module. Imagine someone telling the translator of a book to add or remove sentences. ART works by precompiling everything, meaning xposed would have to be rewritten to run at the time of precompilaiton and to be compatible with a new compiler. It is, in short, non-trivial work to reimplement a piece of work that was truly technically impressive first time around. Xposed is also quite a security hole due to the ability to fundamentally change the way apps work, so I wouldn't be entirely surprised if having ART not be compatible with Xposed is viewed as a bonus.

The latest build has GPS working for me. Maps is working fine and my Dashclock widget is showing the weather Thanks for that.

And also fixed a bug where my audio volume is quite low in the prev build. Now has been fixed. Though I still need to use DSP for that but its all fine.

Auto brightness seems better now. Back then it was still very dim even in auto brightness.

Overall nice update. Good job guys!!
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] B1nny:
Could you try to turn off wifi can use maps again? Because it may be using your wifi location instead of GPS.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] CalamitySir:
Yup. Here you go. See that location pin on the statusbar.

Oh and 1 more thing I hope to have is immersive mode. It does have expanded desktop but it has some bugs when I am using to play some games. So I am guessing expanded desktop and immersive mode is 2 different concepts.

Pretty much is working perfectly for me on this ROM (except HW overlay but that one's no news.)

So my daily driver now - looking forward to new releases!

I had a problem with certain APNs though, the presets are all horrible and cause the mobile data to not work... had to delete all of them and set up one manually. Furthermore, that seemed to cause a wrong time/date setting but that somehow fixed itself.

[MENTION=3160680]DAddYE[/MENTION] did you use another graphics driver than the CM one? Your ROM is much smoother than CM11 when it comes to demanding OpenGL stuff.

Another question: I couldn't find any activity arrows on Mobile Data and Wifi (you know, that one that are flashing when upload/download occur)

Is there any way to display those?
