brace Yourselves new firmware certified

"Sony Mobile has just certified a new firmware build with version number 14.2.A.1.142 for the Xperia Z1 " :D :D
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
That's only 6 increments higher then the current one...

It's a T-mobile version probably, they did that with a rom on the Xperia Z a while back, it was the last JB4.2.2 rom they released... But there where next to no changes other then the version number...

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] fer2503:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] do you think that there is difference of speed and fluidity between odexed and deodexed version?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Yes, and my opinion is different from most of the user opinions on XDA:

OXED'ed ROM's are more fluent, they are optimized as the data pre-assembled and can be read as one blob instead of having to compile it every time an/the app is started.

It was usefull 3 years back, but it doesn't speed up anything anyway, on the contrary: it slows it down, at least the startup of apps do.

DEODEX'ed apps and framework in a ROM make modding easier though, but that from my perspective is just laziness from the developers: they can DEODEX, modify and then ODEX the modified version just as easy...

Zip aligning is another thing: on our devices with the ext4 formatted EMMC partitions, it is completely useless. It can be beneficial on MMC devices like the Xperia ARC (2011 line), because of the yaffs file system used on them, but it was mostly unnoticeable in my experience.

thanks for your reply :D. For example i like the mod of fullscreen call picture, but it is only for deoxewd rom. how i can make it for odexed?

My phone is rooted. I followed the root method on this forum. Today I got notification on my phone that 14.2.A.1.136 update is available but when try to update it goes to 100% then says "cannot download".

So for update to 14.2.A.1.136 do I have to do it via this forum again?

Question: I have a Z1s(T-mobile) & a Z1 (c6906). The cell reception is always 5 bars (LTE) on the Z1s but he Z1 is usually 2 to 3 bars weaker. Is there anything in particular from the Z1s that I could flash onto the Z1 to make it's reception as good as the Zis?

Should I perhaps, flash the basebands? Radios? Should I be concerned about bricking the phone given the .290 Bricking issues?

OR what about apps LTE Radio apps? (i'm testing apps at the moment)

Just to clarify.. Is there any changes in the files for all the firmware? As im on .290 customize sin stock firmware and i downgrade to .534 then to rooted .290.. I noticed a different in status bar network indicator, previous was LTE on top of the signal after was a 4g with down/uplink.. Thus was curious about..
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
[MENTION=4063946]infatality[/MENTION] yes, whether it shows 4G or LTE is depending on the customization. It is just a name change, it is exactly the same technology.

You don't need a deodexed rom to do this

Just xperia xposed framework

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] shahzaib.khan:
Just want to give feed back regarding 136 update...

Over all its very good.

There are 2 bugs i found in this firmware

1) while you are calling and if u remove the phone from your ear you can see it takes 2 seconds approximately to turn onn the screen

Note: i already tried to change the rom region and also xblast tool both didnt give me a solution.

2) bluetooth music problem. When ever i was using bluetooth audio there is a silence after every few minutes. ( its not disconnect its just a silence). But there is a solution for this one you need to change the baseband to the older version n here you go problem solved.

Thanx

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] what tool did you use for deodex ?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lbaquerizo:
DE-ODEX your ROM!

1. Make sure you have the flashable ROM installed before you do this.

2. Download C6903_14.2.A.1.136_deodex.zip (Bittorrent: 412M￼, save it somewhere you remember;

3. Put 'C6903_14.2.A.1.136_deodex.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;

4. Create a backup of your phone in CWM or TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard0';

5. Flash 'C6903_14.2.A.1.136_deodex.zip' in recovery, do not reboot but go back to the main menu;

6. Clear dalvik-cache ONLY;

7. Reboot to system.

Thanks for the ROM/Guide and the help earlier!

Just a quick note, first time I installed this per instruction I had no signal. Baseband was listed as Unknown and the phone soft rebooted after a while.

Hi! I live in Greece, so i need to type most of my messages in Greek. I change writing language to greek, but whenever i change to from english to greek in a text message, it registers greek as special characters and limits me to using only 70 characters.

The rate at with this firmware also uses ram is too damn high.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
I'm actually one of the supporters of the "Unused memory is wasted memory" theory... I think they are doing an amazing job :p
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RHBH:
As far as I know, the more memory the system have available, more lazy it becomes, it compress and work application data far less.

This is an advantage in two points, because if you have less work to decide which data will be stored in RAM, the system will be faster. And if more App data is already in RAM the App will also run faster (no need to access and process internal memory or whatever place the application is installed).

The disadvantage is that if the system have low free memory and it needs store new app data on RAM it will take longer to start the new app, because the system will have to compress or eliminate redundant/non essential data, Android usually will not do this and will kill other apps entirely, this is what cause launcher redraw for example.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] SleemLDJ:
Exactly my problem. Essential apps I need ate being closed and removed from cache as well.

For eg, I use Ttorrent Pro. It just dissappears from my notification bar due to low memory. It is killing background apps and restarting them automatically but not all of them actually restart.

Skype does this as well just as soon as I go to homescreen.

Tapatalk does it if I click a link in a thread, upon come from browser, it starts afresh from the app welcome screen. Sucks.

I think the problem is that these apps aren't being cached for later use.

I've used "app setting" module from xposed to make some apps resident like "Skype". It works really well and never gets restarted until I manually kill it.

AFAIK special characters take up more space than the standard alphabet that's probably why the message is being limited.

YOU HAVE THE MEMORY LEAK BUG!

dude, DONT USE custom kernels, or cwm recovery kernels. If you have UB, wipe everything and start again with the instructions on the op (follow the LB guide, doesnt matter if you have UB).

I can guarantee that you will solve that memory problem if you install this rom using the dual recovery and not a custom kernel.

you can see the memory leak with OS MONITOR and check if you have multiple system_server process after 8-12 hours of using the phone without a single reboot
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] SleemLDJ:
True that. I don't use custom kernels. My bootloader is locked.

I'm just gonna try flashing afresh and see how it turns out.

Does restoring apps with titanium backup causes anything from the old. 290 coz thats the only thing I did after flashing afresh the new. 136
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] unexpected0ne:
Hello

Before flashing zip should I wipe everything in TWRP (but sd card)?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] timberwolf60:
Before flashing 136. Do a nandroid backup of existing rom to external sd card. Copied the contents(data) plus backup pim to external sd card. Them wiped every including system, data etc. Then flashed 136flashable.zip. Off the phone and flashed 136_Stripped.ftf by flashtool in flashtool. Once complected reboot the phone. Now finally restoring your data.

If your 257 was fully rooted, installed the latest xzdualrecovery. Done a nandroid backup,also backup your data in internal sd card. Boot into twrp recovery, flashed 136_flushable.zip. Off your phone run flashtool with your phone in flash mode, then flashed 136_stripped.ftf. Then Reboot phone. Copy the saved data which previously backup into internal sd card. Boot into twrp recovery and restored only data from your nandroid backup. All done and enjoy.

Upto this stages, I assume you already done all the backup. So my suggestions was flashed 534, Ticked usb debugging in developer option and rooted the phone, flashed latest xzdualrecovery. Boot into twrp recovery to flash 136_flushable.zip, in twrp choose power off the phone. Run flashtool, pressed volume down and connected phone to pc. Flashtool will shown in flashmode. Then opened 136_striped.tft and Flashed it. Reboot phone once completed. This should solved the problems. Also read up the installation instructions in op in case I had missed out some points.
