While I don't know for sure if there are changes/fixes that are likely to effect you, you can update your bootloaders/etc fairly easily now that you're on CM11. This might be slightly overkill, but the way I did mine:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2687443

Download the two files, the ftf and the zip, put the zip on your sdcard somewhere, and the ftf in your flashtool firmwares folder.

Backup your phone from cwm (nandroid backup).

Flash the zip downloaded above in cwm.

Don't reboot after flashing, while still in cwm, go to advanced options and power off.

Boot up to flashmode (connect your powered off device to your computer while holding volume down) and flash the ftf.

At this point, I actually let mine reboot and fully enter the sony firmware, in case there were first-boot upgrades to run.. not sure if it's necessary. if it isn't, you could probably JUST flash the ftf, and unselect the kernel (though I notice when I exclude flashing the kernel, it excludes flashing rpm.sin as well, but I think you WANT any rpm updates, given the issues we had on d2lte when people had outdated RPM firmwares with newer kernels).

I then rebooted my phone and entered recovery (volume up when the LED glows purple at boot), and restored my nandroid backup. Since a nandroid includes data, cache, kernel, everything, basically.. this is theoretically all you need to do.. but I also, after my restore was complete, flashed the latest CM update I had already downloaded, rebooted, and had working CM11 with the 14.3.A.0.681 bootloaders.
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
I think a compiled easy to find and easy to read bug list would be beneficial for anyone trying to see if they'd like CM, it would stop a lot of questions about performance, random reboots, SOD's, camera bugs, overheating, etc, etc.

There y go i've started you off ;)

Just a thought :)

I agree with you.

A simple list just like this will solve our problems

Hi. I've rooted, unlocked my bootloader, flashed a new kernal and then flashed Cyanogenmod to my Xperia Z1. However, I now have no signal, emergency calls only. If I flash back to stock firmware, my signal is fine. Can anyone help?
[Xperia Z1 General] sm.vassallo:
Check your APN is configured.
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
Yea or even a bug list of things not working ?
[Xperia Z1 General] araemo:
So, lets try to get some consensus on what is working and what isn't.

Long standing issues I know of:

Camera. (Sometimes doesn't work at all, must reboot to fix. Reboot is not a guaranteed fix, so you end up rebooting multiple times to fix it. Once it's fixed, it's fine until you reboot again.)

Still broken on 20140428.

Possible issue: (Seems to effect me, anyone else have this issue?) Wifi tethering doesn't work sometimes. Tethering enables on the phone, but clients cannot associate with the AP. May work if turned off/on again. Current as of 20140428 and other recent builds I've tried. Bluetooth tethering does work.

Minor/cosmetic issue: "My Phone Number" in settings->status shows as 'Unknown', but calls are received/made properly.

My phone is a C6906, so some/all of these might be specific to that (though, the camera thing seems to be well known).

I don't actually know of any others at the moment... anyone else have any current issues?
[Xperia Z1 General] Linux4ever85:
The Wifi tethering does work. You just have to turn it off and on until it does. That is how I get my wifi tethering to work.

Camera takes a long time to start the first time. After that as long as you don't reboot, the camera starts really first.

My phone is C9603.
[Xperia Z1 General] araemo:
So, it DOES have an issue.. I'll amend the description in my post then.
[Xperia Z1 General] carpenterchris:
Hi folks ;)

I asked Google already, but can't find anything..... Can someone please explain me, why it take so long until we get snapshots? I think Sony devices are so developer-friendly!? So why Sony don't want to cooperate? What do we need to get forward? For example: LG G2 got the M6 at first of all... So where is the difference between Sony and LG? Sorry for my bad english :(
[Xperia Z1 General] carpenterchris:
I use threema instead of whatsapp. And since the "cm-11-20140507-NIGHTLY-honami.zip" it force closes when i press the send-button.... There are many others with this problem in german forums. But no solution yet.... :(
[Xperia Z1 General] daashali:
Most annoying bug beside camera is the battery life. Stock has a much better battery life. I really prefer CM over stock but the camera and battery holds me back.
[Xperia Z1 General] carpenterchris:
No problems with threema anymore since cm-11-20140512-NIGHTLY-honami :)

Batterylife is perfect, only camera sucks. But i cant live without cm ;) I hate these sony-bloatware from stock so much.....

I'd lost access to my cwm recovery since last cpl of nightlies. Seems to be OK now since 12th may update. Had to manually reflash philz recovery again to install the latest nightly though, but can boot into cwm now from shutdown menu.

Hello,

My Network shows me sometimes "DC" as Network connection mode. What is that? Normally in Germany it shows "G", "H" and "4G" or "LTE" . When it shows DC I have no connection to the Internet.

I believe that DC is HDSPA Dual Channel, which means that it is running dual connections, effectively doubling the theoretical speed.
[Xperia Z1 General] araemo:
That's awesome. That seems like the kind of thing that could be further developed into a permanent fix.

Like, it should be possible to either make opencamera take longer if those first-run tasks need to complete, to let them complete once.. or prevent start preview from processing until x time (or better yet, actual detection of what needs to complete) after the first opencamera after a boot..
[Xperia Z1 General] carpenterchris:

Luckily it doesn't reboot and I am not sure the dev is reading this thread.

No idea who to report the issue too.

I posted in this thread a bug report too.
[Xperia Z1 General] carpenterchris:
Yes, but only soft reboots (Cyanogen Logo + lockscreen in 1 second)
[Xperia Z1 General] sm.vassallo:
I also checked the official CyanogenMod forums and they don't even have a sub forum for the Z1.

Thats the reason why this thread exists ;)

Cool beans. Thank you. I will keep testing the nightly and report when the video issue is fixed :)

Might be a good shout to mention backing up the TA partition, there are still some people out there who don't know.

If you unlock that bootloader without backing up then theres no going back.

I have had also this soft-reboots after trying to watch video. I'll wait for a snapshot or RC-version and try it again. For me there are to many bugs (cam works, works not..... or wifi-tethering works, works not and so on).
[Xperia Z1 General] araemo:
Same solution for this phone as every other phone - vendor proprietary files aren't in the CyanogenMod Github because they don't have redistribution rights for them. Run extract-files.sh or find a repo that has them (TheMuppets may).
[Xperia Z1 General] ekanix20:
Still not able to make it work, hmm dont really know what i am doing wrong. Tried to download the files from TheMuppets GIT and ran the command extract-files.sh

I did place the files in the vendor folder.
[Xperia Z1 General] araemo:
Haven't had that problem.. I did update to 5/22, and had many camera issues, so I downgraded to 5/20.. same issue, tried to downgrade to 5/18 and my phone got really fubar'd.. lost like, all my system prefs, my home button stopped working, other issues..

So, I did a nandroid and then did a factory reset. Camera is working again (well, as good as it ever was), home button works.. but now notifications are finicky and notification light is completely non-operative. I think I fubar'd something restoring from titanium.. gonna do another factory reset tomorrow probably, and restore far less data.

---------- Post added at 01:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 AM ----------

I haven't had a chance to set up a build environment since I got this phone, but it's been on my to-dos for a while..
[Xperia Z1 General] araemo:
I seem to be experiencing this with 2014-05-20..

What's really odd is.. I was not experiencing this, but I had other issues, so I did a factory reset.. didn't re-flash the rom.. and now I AM experiencing it.

It also seems to make 'camera' and 'google camera' crash on open. (Focal works fine though).
[Xperia Z1 General] carpenterchris:
Yes, that's very strange.... -.- the cam-problems are the same with every nightly. There's a workaround for it in this thread.....
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
Lol that's nice.

Seriously though, if someone is going to tell people to unlock a bootloader then the TA partition should be at the very least be mentioned.

Personally I unlocked my Z1 on day one and have triple back ups so it's not for me, but some people are going round without their TA backed up and in all fairness a little nudge here and there should be the very least someone can do when making a tutorial on how to install a particular rom, saying no mercy isn't in line with what XDA is about, i kind of get where youre coming from but it's not very nice is it ?

Deleted.

OP: Please delete this post entry to cleanup the thread.
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
I can see that my words are falling on deaf ears, like I said it wasn't for me, the right thing to do is at least give the TA partition a mention, but that's fine, let people walk into it.

Looking for a CM build for Huawei Glory H868C

My phone is the Huawei glory H868C by tracfone. I am wanting to install CM onto this phone but after searching, it doesn't appear that there is a build for this specific phone. So I was wondering if there was a similair build for another Huawei phone that used the same Android platform as mine(4.0.4). I notice on some Huawei phones, two carriers sell the exact same phone, but one carrier gives it one name while the other uses another. That might be the case here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Please forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong place. I am new to XDA and am still learning.

plug in headphones

hit play.

music some out phone speaker.

unplug head phones, re plug head phones with music playing.

Couple of questions

Hi I'm new to Cyanogenmod for the Xperia Z1 and have a couple of quick questions. I'm running the 06-14 nightly.

Problem 1: FIXED LTE settings by changing APN from "ATT LTE" to "ATT Phone".

Problem 2: The 06-17 nightly was just released. If I flash this ROM will I lose all my data like contacts? Is there a way to upgrade without losing my data and settings?

Much thanks.
[Xperia Z1 General] robsonde:
if you go into settings->about->Cyanogenmod updates

this will let you update with out loss of data, however i recomend you still do a backup first in case of issues.
[Xperia Z1 General] inbland:
Great, that's what I was wondering. Thx.
[Xperia Z1 General] pananza:
I recommend using an app called "CyanDelta". It will only download and apply the changes (delta) since your last nightly. Very fast and efficient way to update the nightlies. I use it every day and have never had any problems.

Hey guys.

I have a locked bootloader, and everywhere I read that cyanogenmod needs unlocked bootloader.

But I think it should be possible to flash cyanogenmod 11 to my z1 6903 and after that flash generic kernel over flashtool.

Isn't that possible??

Because at this time I have Ihacker on my z1 one, flashed generic kernel and everything is working fine, why not with cm11??

[Xperia Z1 General] gallardo5:
No, CyanogenMod requires its own kernel or any other kernel aosp based. It would not work on Sony kernel, and you cannot flash any other kernel with locked bootloader

I'm trying to send larger images than what the stock Mms.apk allows. I pulled it from system/priv-app/Mms.apk, decompiled it, modified maxImageHeight and maxImageWidth in mms_config.xml and recompiled.

Apparently those two values only set the dimensions for the thumbnail image in the messaging app, not the actual outgoing image size. Does anyone have any idea where I might find that parameter?
