HM....Boring 5.9 weekly.

Its time to build in some problems. I dunno why I keep posting that latest weekly runs like all others, and there is still nothing to report.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] 7sen:
the best thing after using The Camera it's very Good and no violate hint like Pa Rom :silly: nice camera solid battery one thing i missing on this Rom ( The Theme Engine cm 11 ) :o
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
So yea weekly is out. Mainly bug squashing more than anything else :p
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
yeah, This is something to moan about!

Where is Theme engine??

Where can we rebind hard buttons??

Well where is this and that??

And most of it all: when are they back in SlimRom????

Just joking. I know you guys put much efforts to develop the ROM and so on. So take your time to bug fixes and improvements.

So long there is a SlimRom for me to use I'm happy.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Theme engine is slowly been worked on but since CM's still dumping code in to it we are taking it easy. As for hardware key rebinding I know I'm kicking myself for that lol
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
Honestly I don't mind waiting for new/old stuff for the rom. So long it's running stable for daily usage I'm happy.

But I wonder if you are going to add some useful govs to the kernel? When I was using pimp kernel I liked the intelli govs the most.

I know I can just use the pimped kernel, but I like to stick to default kernel.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
I could, I added it to mako kernel, let's see.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] DAddYE:
Is the camera button working when the phone is locked/sleeping ?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
Nope, the button doesn't work when phone is in deep sleep/locked.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] llewelld:
This is by far the most amazing Rom for my z1. 6 hours screen on time over a 33 hour total.. amazing.. Will post stats with settings once my internet is back up and working..

Which leads to my next question.. I can't seem to get wifi hotspot working.. just getting can't connect errors from my win 8.1 laptop.. is this feature working for other people or a known issue?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] llewelld:
Here are my battery stats...

Running the lastest pimped kernel(regular not light), very close to stock settings.

no greenify... ,

mostly on wifi the entire time screen is on. 3g other times, and LTE only when in the car..

An hour or two of bluetooth streaming / with double tap to wake enabled via tasker (only when bluetooth connected to my car)..

Absolutely loving it and blown away by the mileage I am getting..

Pimped kernel settings - all default except

max clock - 2112mhz

Not exactly sure how it can be such a big difference, but on stock I was lucky to get 4.5hours SOT in similar conditions, and on PA RC1 - < 4hours..

There seems to be some sort of bug in the reporting of Android OS (kernel) battery use - same thing happened on PA & this rom when using pimped kernel, in the pic it shows 34% battery - but before I rebooted the phone, it was showing 7%..then reboot.. It's clearly not 34% otherwise I would not have managed to get so long out of it.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] peddarson:
So, it will take a while until this function gets his place in slimkat again? :(
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Thing is its still problematic on cm, it mostly works. We prefer let them debug it lol. They are still dumping good bit a code so be patient
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] soulzero:
Please add isocell cam and qhd please. thanks
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Isocell and qhd?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Yocto69:
bluetooth connection

Hi,

i got a problem with my bluetooth connection in my car. I can connect (phone to car) but the phonebook does not sync.

With cm11 and stock rom i don´t got problems.

Any advise?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Cm11 bt stack is different from ours. Stock is well stock. Without logs I can really do much
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] satvik7star:
I am unable to turn on location. It was working fine and then i turned it off from quick settings now i am unable to turn them back on
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
No build number no bug report I can't help mate. Works fine on my device lol
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] llewelld:
Can anyone else confirm if Wifi Hot spot is working for them.. I just get a cant connect error.

Thanks.

Just purchased some APT-X headphones, and wondering if anyone knows if APT-x works in this rom, or if its kernel level?

From what I understand it's a codec and probably has associated licensing, and its included in Stock z1 roms. http://www.aptx.com/product/sony-xperia-z1

Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] satvik7star:
I am extremely sorry sir, though I expected a similar reply. I have attached the build number and bug report(taken through slim centre). Hope it helps in making the ROM better.

Here is a part of logcat, when I try to toggle location on http://pastebin.com/wTRib7rB
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
As suggested by SuperHanss on PA Thread.. U can Try deleting /data/misc/wifi folder and reboot

Also if you haven't already, ensure your APN settings are correctly configured..

Hope this solves wifi problems
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
I'll late a look later in the evening. When was the last time you factory reset and formated system?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] llewelld:
This worked!. Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] satvik7star:
I always clean install ROMs, flashed this after monxdified, though wiped everything
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Ok I've seen random reports of Dane behaviour on other devices, most solved by factory reset and formating system prior to flashing. Another thing is does sha1 match the one on the site? I'm busy today so won't have time to look at log till evening
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] satvik7star:
And there you go. The sha1 does not match. So stupid of me, yes I remember that my network dropped during the download. Thanks for helping!!:laugh:
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] husky69:
Android 4.4.4 has been released, fixing an important SSL bug amongst others.

Didn't find anything on the SlimROM website - anyone knows if this is gonna be picked up fast?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
Well there are 4.4.4 gapps.

Dunno when a weekly will be released to let us test it.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
When you mean to change some kernel settings or boost the sound volume..."Pimp my Z1" is the app you need.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
Guessing you mean headset?!? Then yes, pimp my Z1 app can increase the volume.

For 3hrs screen and still having 72% battery left it sure is okay..or better it's super fine.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] e30luismi:
version kernel??, my battery 10% 33min screen, correct? o need a change kernel or settings?

my kernel pimped 3.4.86PIMPED+-g560f948

you settings perfomance in app pimp my z1
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] peddarson:
New weekly works like a charm after the second reboot. After first boot I always got a fc of the calendarprovider.apk with the latest gapps.

Somehow rebooting solved this.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] welshlad:
Same here. It's been updated to Android 4.4.4 too.

These guys don't hang around...awesome work!!
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
Just flashed newest weekly.

No problems so far.

Flashed 5.10 with the all gapps files.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] [Fenix]:
use pa gapps 4.4.4
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
Please use our gapps .... They are on the website under addons beta for 4.4.4

Do not forget pa gapps are not multidpi compatible neither trds compatible ;)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] [Fenix]:
Sorry brother I suggested those because yesterday I had not seen your...pardon
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] welshlad:
None I've found after using it for a day.

Have just kept the 4.4.3 gapps I already had installed, should I use the beta 4.4 gapps, is there any benefit in doing so?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
Well, why use a "mixed" system when you can have a fully 4.4.4 system??

And ofc in. 4.4.4 are some fixes included which aren't in 4.4.3.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] llewelld:
I've been using 4.4.4 for a day. zero bugs.

Also, for any newcomers, I was running the previous version for about a week, literally not one bug or crash, have used the camera loads, and have excellent battery life (I will post some stats on 4.4.4 after my first full charge cycle, but i am getting 6h SOT, over about a 30 hour period.. really amazing.

This is truly an amazing rom. I went back to stock for a day or two just to make a final decision as to what rom to stick with.. but the laggy feeling of opening apps on stock is quite different after you have been running slim for a while.. so back to this.

cant recommend this rom highly enough.. and the rapid updates make me so glad I sold my N5.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
I dont see 4.4.4 Gapps under 4.4.4 Addons.. they are still named as 4.4.3? "Slim_AIO_gapps.4.4.3.build.5.8-60"

Ok got the link http://slimroms.net/index.php/downl...1681-slim-full-gapps-beta-4-4-4-build-5-95-91
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] MacSeoin:
Is ART working on the latest release?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
Isn't art integrated into 4.4.4. by default ???

Well as I looked into the ROM it says dalvik vm v1.6 !?!?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] groperfish:
Great ROM so far. I hope that this is more stable than another ROM I've been runnig and by initial impressions, it might be! Great work.

Question: Can I replace the stock camera with the original Z1 camera. Google's camera app is so slow to start up, regardless of ROM.

And also, are there any plans to get the hardware key to open camera?

Thanks in advance and keep up the great work.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] e30luismi:
battery low problem? battery drain
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
Welcome to SlimRom.

Don't know which version you are running, bit so long I'm using this ROM ( stable/weekly) for daily usage I never had any problems...there still might be some bugs in weekly but that's fine because for this there are weeklys.

For the camera I mainly use Google camera or fv5. So use the cam you want to use XD

Hardware buttons still WIP.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
dalvik is still default. Art works just fine (some apps won't work on art)

[MENTION=511008]camera[/MENTION] unless Sony pushed the app to playstore lately I doubt It will work

[MENTION=511008]camera[/MENTION] Button it's planned yes

This isn't helpful. Use apps like better battery stats and looks at wakelocks and Rouge apps
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I could mean the default ROM apps/gapps should work just fine with art. Somewhere I saw an article where it said that the developers have to change their apps to work using art - mainly the playstore apps.

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

There are still scripts needed to fix/ calibrate battery?!?

And there I thought the newest devices dont need that.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Art works fine. But some apps do not work on art for example Xposed. The number of apps that aren't compatible is ever shrinking but they still exist.

As for battery calibration no it isn't. Want to calibrate the batter run it a few cycles (as in run it down to 0 then full charge it)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] MacSeoin:
How can I boost the volume? Pimp my z1?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
Yeah, use "Pimp my Z1" from Playstore or buy Faux

Sound Controll.

Thx for the info. This is how I calibrate my z1 after a clean flash XD
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
I personally recommend TricksterMod but it's personal preference.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] llewelld:
I'm having an issue with wifi dropping out and reconnecting. It's happening every minute or two.. it reconnects in a few seconds.. but this causes apps like spotify to go offline.. and not go back online without being a real pain..

I'm on pimped kernel but I have also tried going back to stock and still having this issue.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Fyi also had this on Paranoid android.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
Wich SlimRom version are you running?

I recommend a clean flash of ROM.

And for your info:

Normally you won't get any help from this threat because its an unwritten rule here.

As long as I know pimped kernel is still at a rebuild stage.

And when flashing back to stock kernel you have to replace the changed files, which are coming with pimped kernel, with thatthe original slim files.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Does it happen on all networks or just specific ones? Could be how network is set up isn't playing nice with your device
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] llewelld:
Thanks for the feedback... have made some changes on my wifi network (different channel and encryption).. now wifi is rocksolid..

Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] llewelld:
I've tried to switch to ART run time, but after I reboot (after being prompted - reboot to change runtime rom libdvm to libart.so), it boots back up into Davlik.

Is there something I am missing?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
You have xposed installed? It won't let you reboot in to art
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] llewelld:
I had already uninstalled xposed, but i didnt do the uninstall from within xposed - so it leaves some stuff behind.. re-installed then uninstalled xposed from within the xposed app.. and now all working.. thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] 7sen:

[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Guys my kernel has faux sound.... I recommend TricksterMod to tweak my kernel
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
Nope,

Pimp my Z1 is a "tweaking" app for kernel. Special for our Z1 kernels. I used to use it for slim kernel.

But now I use Trickster Mod and Faux Sound control. Faux control I bought as is still used stockrom with doomkernel.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] llewelld:
Having some issues with camera.. happens on both Google camera and skim.. when I open camera image is stick for a few seconds..

Running latest weekly on stock. do I need to flash Google camera fix? (I already have .. or its this built into latest weeklies)?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
No dl the camera fix app in this thread. When I'm back I need to link it on second post
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
Here is the file you need. I copy pasted the whole post. Now it only needs to be posted/linked to 1st page XD

NOT MY WORK!!!

Made by Androguide.fr

Alright, so this fork of the original app does the following:

* Fully transparent (you can't see it's there when it's running)

* Runs automatically on boot

* Notifies you with a Toast ("Fixing camera...")

* Does not show-up in the recent apps panel

* Does not block the UI thread (you can for example use the status bar while the app does its thing (5sec), but of course any touch below that will be intercepted by the activity, it's transparent but it's there).

* You choose if you want a version with a launcher icon (I made it nice & flat so it's bearable to have in your app drawer) or without a launcher icon

The code is available on my github and licensed under the Apache v2 license.

The apks are also hosted at github.

Downloads

* With launcher icon: https://github.com/Androguide/Z1CameraFix/releases/tag/v1.0.0

* Without launcher icon: https://github.com/Androguide/Z1CameraFix/releases/tag/v1.0.0b

Does your slimkernel fully supports TricksterMod ?

I'm planning to buy/donate the tool to have to full app. But it doesn't make sense to buy it when I can't take full usage of tool&kernel combo.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
I only use TricksterMod. Only thing it doesn't handle is ksm
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
Thx. So I can boost the volume using trickster mod.

Well something different today:

Why can't I flash a new weekly or a new stable???? This sucks. I'm used to flash a new slim version on Mondays. XD
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
We are prepping for stable and we pushed release due a problem for mako and hammerhead. Should be released some time today

Edit: yea paid TricksterMod has faux sound support
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
Take your time.

I'm going to test Sony's 14.4.A.0.108 android 4.4.4 firmware. And then switch back to slimkat XD

Its all ways good to see how stock runs and if I run into problems when switching to slim .
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Sony released 4.4.4? o-o I feel like I leave for a few days and crap happens lol
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
Yeah, 1st release was for only for Z1c, but then as a surprise the z1 version was released.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Well I doubt kernel changed a whole lot. At any rate I'll keep an eye on they're github
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
As long as I know the new firmware has some tweaks, security bugfixes, and the camera works smoother/faster.

It just bugs me that I still can't download German version.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Stable 6 released, enjoy!

[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Whut?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
I haven't had battery problems O_o. Chase your wakelocks
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
I don't usually take screenshot of it mate. But usually get a day or so of juice with my usage. Which is usually at atleast 4 hours of screen on
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
Neither do I have. With weekly 5.10 I was able to reach 36hrs.

Keep in mind, that depending on you usage the lifetime varies hard. From ~ 6hrs to +48hrs.

When I play (Xcom/ Evolution/ RR3/...) my phone is dead after 6hrs, on low usage (phone, messages, WhatsApp,...) and limiting cpu/gpu I already reach +36hrs with only screen time of around 2-4hrs.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] peddarson:
Well, to put in some words: with the latest 4.4.2 versions in had battery dran problems too but it was because of the play services...

With the update to 4.4.4 (also the gapps) the problem was solved
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] llewelld:
For anyone worried about battery, I was able to get over 7 Hours Screen on time (spread over 33 hours run time). To be honest, this is the best I have ever had of any android phone or rom.

FYi that was mostly at low brightness (indoors), but with several hours of bluetooth streaming. Also to get that long, I use 3g not LTE. I also run greenify, and the entire time phone was on, wifi is enabled. (except at night, when I use airplane mode).

If you are having poor battery issues, you simply need to understand what is causing the drain. Wifi on this phone is amazing, (ie draws so little power, and bluetooth v4 is also utterly amazing). IF you think you are having poor battery, it is most likely screen brightness or being constantly connected to LTE that will be drawing power. Adjusting brightness or switching LTE > 3G will have a much bigger impact on battery than anything else you will tweak on this phone.. In the area of my main office, I had 1 bar signal strength on LTE, but 4 bars on 3G - so check which network you get a better signal - this can make a big difference to your idle battery use.

In the above I use the phone as a web browser, reader, phone, some video etc - no heavy GPU / games etc.

The above stats are on v5.10. I would assume v6 would be excellent as well.

[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Balloonio:
How i can install Theme? no THEME button.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Means a lot of changes for this device. I think they might have solved the camera problem too.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] _Garry_:
Nice. Can't wait for new weekly XD

So the new stock 4.4.4 runs smooth and faster. But still not my taste.

So switched to new stable build. Without any problem I was able to flash SlimRom.

Runs smooth and nice and without failures.

[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] llewelld:
Did you read my post above ? ..."I use 3g not LTE"

Re Performance - stock governors, cpu/gpu clock & settings for governor etc).

I was using 3G, as I get much better signal than LTE. From what I have observed, LTE doesnt really use much more battery, what is important is your signal strength. IF you are constantly moving around it probably doesnt matter. If you are mostly based in an office etc, then check whether you get better signal on 3G or LTE. For me, I get 3-4 bars on 3G, and 1 bar on LTE - so 3G is much better at idle.

Hi.. is the camera problem you are talking about the issue with occasional disconnects (that the z1camerfix.apk in post#2) rectifies... or is there something else wrong with the camera?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] zaphod-159:
Hi there, I tried many roms this week and to be fairly honest, this one seems to be the best so far, looking forward to further releases, just one thing, I cant seem to get the weather to show on the locksreen, any ideas why this might be? thanks!

It's a known problem for all aosp based Roms. Best read this:

What's more advisable - dirty flashing of latest release over a smoothly running 5.10 weekly or doing a fresh install after aa factory reset?

Oh, please let it be the first one...
