So is this rom tied into [MENTION=3160680]DAddYE[/MENTION]'s version of SlimKat at all or no?

Sent from my Beanstalk infused Z1
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
It's maintained by me for slim.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Blegh:
so this is like the official one from the slimroms team but still the unstable release?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
It's actually been a daily driver for me most of this week. As I said on second post I won't take it official after stable. Problem is I need to merge in a great deal in to native and av and for the sake of stability, and our sanity, waiting till after so that other devices don't break so close to stable :p
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] TheKnux:
Sorry for the questions but it's basically similar to his rom?

[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:

Any known bugs? Did u use the cm tree build by kali?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Yes based on kali-'s tree and kernel. As for bugs you tell me, besides some funky hardware acceleration on videos (doesn't always happen)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Blegh:
So. No hw overlay fix by kali implemented in the rom yet? If it does im gonna flash it and give it a try
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Fix? It's using a new kernel if that's what you mean. Flash it and you tell me. Like I said it's been my dad for most of the week. I need to have a bigger test pool than just my device :p
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Lirasina:
Adding Language to Latin IME

ROM is working just fine on my device :D

Though there is a snall thing that bugs me. Is there a way to add languages to LatinIME, If I install the CM one I got Dutch, but then I don't get the black theme when I switch to darkslim, or whatever its called :P

If I put the dict files from the CM one that are in res/raw into the Slim one, doesnt work either, am I missing a step? love to add dutch to that keyboard, thats the only thing really from me using slim to the max :D

Thanks in advance :D
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] DAddYE:
Finally!!

I'll give a try!! At this point if it is stable like mine (I saw through gerrit/sources that you're a little behind CM-sony and few things still need to be reviewed) I'll ask to [MENTION=1662773]mods[/MENTION] to close my thread so you guys can work better with the community.

Thanks a lot, was a pleasure to introduce this rom for Z1's users!
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Not behind at all, I just don't merge right away lol. This build I have here had a lot of stuff from Gerrit
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Blegh:
When I use non stock keyboard like swype, the layout gets really tiny. I know this because of the system DPI being 370. I can probably fix it with xposed but is there another way around this?

Besides this, the ROM has been working great :D
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
You can bump up the dpi in build.prop. Afaik that's only thing you can do.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Blegh:
Ok I fixed the keyboard height and small widgets with nova by changing the dpi to 360. But I think I found a bug with the date
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
What supposed to be right?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Balaram12:
first time cam loaded slow

after that camera never moved

i exited

now i launch again and get a black screen

guide me plz
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
Yes its correct procedure.. But not sure abt u said after 5th point.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] shamps:

Yes all custom ROM (Original Ones) for Z1 are based for 290 firmware only (Might be updated later on) not for earlier ones or later ones.

Hmm I just tried with another material (speaker plug) and it worked.... I'll check when I'm home again with the app. Touch driver is picky what material works and doesn't.

I'll see what I'll do about it... I don't think I want the Xperia app just for it and vibration control... But let's see what I can do.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ilia1985:
No need for Xperia App you can just enable it By default as it really doesn’t effect anything Like battery or performance :)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
I understand that (I tested today without the app) but it be nice to have a button somewhere for it. Device is capable (sorta) might as well give a option for those who want to use it. Got to think where and how.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ilia1985:
If possible maybe you can add it to display or to language & input settings :)

[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] shamps:
So finally took the plunge and unlocked my Boot loader. All fine and this rom is superfast!!

My sincere thanks to everyone who is developing and helping.

A couple of quick questions

1. The camera hardware key does not open up the camera when the phone is sleeping/screen off. Is this normal? It works when screen is on.

2. Speed dial??

3. The notification volumes is very low even when maxed. Any workaround?

Thanks in advance.

[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
Most of the Bootloops issue on C6902 will be solved by Monx Radio Fix.. Nothing much required also now for CM based ROM who uses latest CM this FIX is not required to be flashed separately for C6902 as its already included in ROMS.. Still if someone faces bootloop problem for 02 varients then try to flash this fix.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] shamps:
I had to flash the fix, even on the latest weekly.

Sound issue not there on the latest release, seems rock solid so far.

Still the hardware Camera button does not open the camera from the lock screen or when the screen is off.

Is this normal?

Edit:

Loud speaker doesn't work during calls.

Does this rom have halo?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] peddarson:
Nope. This is slim rom, not paranoid android ;)

With the new build my phone gets really hot when using mobile internet for a while (battery consumption also increases then)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Balaram12:
True about the internet

But i have seen slimkats with HALO
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] peddarson:
Yes, but this build is from an official slim rom developer. So there won't be features which aren't built-in in the official build.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Balaram12:
TRUE
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] thuanngotau:
I got some banding (flickering) on my screen especially when it dim... Is that normal too with this build?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] shamps:
Been using this Rom for a while now and am nothing but pleased. Its so smooth and fast.

I have come around the following issues, would appreciate if fellow users can confirm

1. Camera hardware key only works when screen is on and phone unlocked.

2. Loudspeaker during calls does not work.

3. After finishing a call, the screen brightness gets really low but fixes automatically in 3-4 seconds(i use automatic brightness control)

4. When launching search function by swiping up from the bottom edge, the display turns off rather than launching Google search.

I asked earlier as well but didn't get a reply.

Thanks in advance

1) won't add anything now. Want to make it a rebind key.

2)confirmed... Not sure why I'll try to investigate this week.

3)not sure how this is a bug? Your face is blocking proximity and light sensor so when you finish the call it will take a sec to read light level and reset the brightness.

4)bug on your end
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] shamps:
Thanks for your response.

Regarding the brightness, normally after finishing the call, the screen turns on with the brightness level it was there when starting the call (at least on stock). For example if the brightness level was 50% before putting the phone to the ear, it comes back on at 50% after the call is finished.

but here the level is hitting a very low value, like if I put it to my ear at 50 %, it comes back on at 10% after the call is finished.

So I thought i should report it. If its supposed to be like this then no worries.

And the issue the the Google search has been fixed after reinstalling Google search.

Cheers!

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

The GPS does not work. I a matter of fact I cannot get a location lock.

For root should I flash the superSU?

And for the DPI. Where can I do the change?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Gps DOES work mate. Make sure you have high accuracy on. For root common man read our instructions.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] borisb:
For GPS I did. I used KitKat before.

But I will read the instructions again and try everything all over.

If you have the time please let me know where can I find the instructions to change the DPI.

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] borisb:
I have reinstalled everything.

I have gained root. However the GPS is still not working (no location lock at all on high accuracy).

I was also trying to change the DPI though the dpi changer app and that did not work.

I don't know what else should I try.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Open /system/build.prop and edit ro.sf.lcd_density=480 to whichever DPI you want. Save and reboot to apply.

If you need better instructions than this, then you should not be doing this. Not trying to insult you, but editing this stuff without knowing what you're doing is asking for trouble.

[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
Gps working fine u must be doing something wrong play with settings a little, about DPI use root explorer and change the xxx (its a numerical value) in build.prop file (its in the system folder) search for this line "ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx" and change to ur desired value.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Darkmasterhk:
Does your phone see and lock some satelites or doesn't it find anything?

have you tried something like "GPS Test" from app store to see, what your phone sees?

you can also try to get new agps data with it, helped on my old phone.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] trahzebuck:
[MENTION=2350392]borisb[/MENTION]: it is boring how you act here. Sorry for sounding harsh. But a proper use of the search function or google might help... :cowboy:

For changing parameters of your rom you could use a tool from playstore if your are not used to edit files like build.prop.

Have a look at Romtoolbox or Pimp my rom.

For the Gps issue: where do you live? Perhpaps there is some ajustment needed. Try Faster GPS from playstore and set your specific data. Then try again.

Good luck.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] borisb:
Thank you for the help.

Now that I know where to look I will change the dpi.

For the GPS issue. I got no lock with 0 satellites seen. I leave in Chicago so I don't think it's my location. Unless Chicago is exotic.

I played with the setting. I was thinking that because I downloaded the slim gasps maybe some Google services were not installed? Not sure.

What other settings should I play with anyway? There are choices for the location services. I tried to play with WiFi.and I downloaded some GPS tests.if you say it should work then I must be missing something.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] 3x3cUt0r:
Did you install "Slim_AIO_gapps.4.4.2.build.3.zip"?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] borisb:
Nope.

I installed the 50+ MB one.

Could that be the issue?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
I use AIO and never used min on this phone so maybe?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] borisb:
Maybe indeed.

I will test it out and let you know.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] borisb:
The DPI was changed successfully.

GPS still don't work :(

I have used the gapps suggested and still no luck in getting a lock.

Stock works great with GPS.

Update:

I have downloaded GPS test and it actually sees 29 satellites but does not lock at all.

---------- Post added at 02:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 AM ----------

Also. I am not getting any lock when I am connected to WiFi.

I went outside and left Google maps on. I got a lock for a split second. I am at home now and Google maps still thinks I am at that point.
