OK, I checked everything twice again, and the patches are definitely merged.

I then checked the VTS github and, as I already suspected a month ago, there is indeed a problem with the detection of this CVE inside VTS.

See the commit here: https://github.com/AndroidVTS/android-vts/pull/128/commits/81b271434dda1698abd750b9142124d24429c3c9

The patch is not merged yet, but I would expect new versions to be able to test it correctly.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] TroyBrown:
Anyone installed the CM12 built over the previous CM11 one with any unpleasant experience? :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] derf elot:
Never tried this. When moving between different Android versions, I always do a full wipe :)

For the CM11 people, since I had a bit of time, I built a VTS version containing the fixes for the CVE-2015-6616 detection. Feel free to have a try :)

Edit: The error you get for CVE-2016-0807 detection is completely normal, since it only concerns Android 6.0 and neither KK nor LP.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Nash123:
Hi derfelot. Do you still make security updates for cm11? :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] derf elot:
Hi,

yes I do. Unfortunately, the July patches are still not merged yet:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/branch:cm-11.0

The August ones were just published by Google as well, so maybe they will get merged together.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Nash123:
Ok, thx :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] derf elot:
Hi all,

the July and August patches have been merged into CM11 this week. For both CM11 and CM12.1 (actually CM12.1.1 now, don't really know why) I've also included a bunch more kernel fixes:

July Google security patches

August Google security patches

CVE-2015-2686

CVE-2015-4177

CVE-2015-8937

CVE-2015-8944

CVE-2016-2504 (part of Quadrooter)

CVE-2016-2059 (part of Quadrooter)

CVE-2016-2544

CVE-2016-4470

CVE-2016-4998

CVE-2016-5340 (part of Quadrooter)

CVE-2016-5829

Bunch more, you can see on my github

I know, that the "QuadRooter Scanner" app still shows CVE-2016-5340 as being unfixed (it does on CM12.1.1 at least), but that's most likely a problem with their detection algorithm as others are reporting the same issue. Also, CVE-2016-2503 is - form what I can tell - not a problem for the 3.4 kernel, so it doesn't apply to us.

Here are the download links:

CM11: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424954650

CM12.1.1: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424954636

Nice work! Going to download and install it right now. Thanks again!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] CyanoFriend:
Once again, everyting seems to work perfectly in first tests, also your explanation above seems to be right, and i can confirm that CVE-2016-5340 is shown unfixed in CM11 as well.

Thanks again for your work!!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Nash123:
Quadrooterapp was updated today. Now it shows we are not vulnerable on CM 11. Thx to derf elot :thumbsup:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] derf elot:
well, they are simply not checking for the other two anymore. when you follow the link, you will see why: they simply checked if patch level was August 5. Very lazy ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Nash123:
Yeah saw it afterwards. Really lame "solution" :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Nash123:
Today I saw I had a bunch of missed calls. When I investigated the issue I realized there are no ringtones available. But in system/media/audio/ringtones they are there. Reflashed the rom, but still no ringtone to choose in settings. Anyone else with this issue?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] derf elot:
I can't exclude that some of the commits by CM to patch the security issues in the mediaserver might cause problems. But I can't see any activity in the sources trying to fix anything.

Just as a test, have you tried to delete the data/cache from mediaserver and rebooted the phone (allowing some time after reboot to scan files again)?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Nash123:
Ok, got them back :) And I guess it was my own fault the ringtones were gone.

I had recurring problems with video playback in instagram and snapchat for some time now and I deleted yesterday data from mediaserver.

Sidenote: Strange thing was that it did not rescan the files on its own after reboot. Had to use media.re.scan app and point it to system-directory and manually trigger the rescan.

Now I am going to see if the weirdness regarding videoplayback still occurs.

Some background info regarding this issue: I had to reboot the device about every day as it was or is the only solution for the before mentioned instagram/snapchat video problem.

After reboot video playback within the two apps works. 1-2 days later it is broken. But MP4-playback in BSplayer still works some time.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] derf elot:
Hi, sorry for the late reply. If you go back in this thread a bit (around the time I first uploaded new builds), I remember someone having a similar issue where playback stopped after a certain amount of time. The only solution was also to reboot the phone. Not sure I would be able to fix this issue though. Maybe you can send me a logcat once the problem occurs and I can have a look.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Nash123:
Hi! No worries. It is not that tragic. Only needs fixation if you find the problem by chance.

Last weekend the problem did not occur. Maybe deleting mediaserver data did the trick.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] derf elot:
Hi all,

a short update, and possibly a bad one. As you can see in a new commit (http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/158115/), CM is stopping all the weekly CM11 builds. The comment in this commit by Michael Bestas, the one merging the Google security fixes into CM11, sounds like he might stop doing that.

Seeing as I don't run CM11 myself anymore, and merging the patches really is getting out of hand (both because of conflicts and because its becoming more and more each month), I won't have the time to do it myself if CM does decide to stop keeping CM11 patched up. Sorry :(

I have now moved to a Z3C as my primary device, but I am still running my Z1C as a secondary and will keep on making fresh CM12.1 including new kernel fixes.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Nash123:
Ok, thx for the info! I guess it is time for cm 12.1.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Yokurt815:
@derf elot: What's with the new cm-12.1-20160914-UNOFFICIAL-amami.zip in your AFH folder? Does it contain the new security fixes and is good to go?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] derf elot:
Hi,

yes, I haven't had the chance to announce it here:)

New build containing all current security fixes in CM and the kernel. Been test driving it for a few days and all is well.

This is CM12.1 only so far. It seems like CM really stopped merging fixes into CM11.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Nash123:
Thx derf elot! Switching over to CM 12.1 right now :)

Edit: Worked well. Only Viper4android needed special attention and SuperSU app.

Where can I donate btw?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Yokurt815:
No problem. But good to know, then I can update directly to this one :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] derf elot:
Well, Viper would need some patches merged into the kernel from what I know (never used it myself). What special attention does the SuperSU need? You mean the namespace separation thing?

As for donations, thank you for the offer, but this still stands:http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64049818&postcount=399 :)

Hi guys, is it possible to install [MENTION=4063475]derf elot[/MENTION]'s CM12.1 directly without full wipe?

Did anyone do this? :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] 9Lukas5:
[MENTION=3290895]TroyBrown[/MENTION] didn't do it on the z1c itself, but upgraded from cm11 to cm12.1 on my own device fine.

Just make sure you

- wipe /system

- flash cm12.1 AND Lollipop GApps

It's important that you flash also the GApps for Lollipop before booting the os, instead it will screw up everything^^

If remember correctly it was only the clock that fc'ed after upgrade, but that was fixed by wipe the data of the clock app and set the alarms again^^

Any known issues in Derf Elot's 12.1? Any issues that are not in stock? I heard a lot about bad camera focus and quality, audio and wifi problems, is this in CM 12 build in general as well as stock? Do stock have these issues or just CM? I'm trying to decide which rom to use, stock / cm 11 or cm 12.1 ... I don't see the point in using CM if it has issues stock doesn't have, kinda defeats the point. I just bought the phone and just looking for root without allmanufacturer bloatware really ..

Whats difference between Derf Elots build and cm 12.1 nightly?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] 9Lukas5:
I can't tell you much about that. I don't use the z1c(it's my father's phone), so I'm the wrong person to answer that question^^

But I'm sure someone else will give an answer on it. ?

Gesendet von meinem HTC One m7
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] derf elot:
The point depends on your priorities. Besides the customization it offers, CM still merges the latest Google security patches into its CM12.1 source code. The difference between the nightlies and my builds are mainly in the kernel. The kernel for Z1C is not maintained by CM anymore, so it hasn't received ANY of the security related updates. So far there's about 100-200 issues (in the kernel alone, I lost count) that I have patched in my build. I would think the stock ROM has at least that many more unclosed vulnerabilities in its sources (e.g. stagefright, SSL, etc.) as compared to CM.

That being said, the Z1C is now my secondary phone, but I haven't experienced any problems with it personally. Maybe someone else has more specifics on that.

As a general note, the October security patches have been merged into CM sources this week. I'm still working on including the kernel patches, but expect to upload a new build this weekend still.

Best
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] TroyBrown:
Last week or so I put [MENTION=4063475]derf elot[/MENTION]'s CM 12.1 on my Z1C and it works a treat, really love it.

By the way, what's your now primary phone?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] derf elot:
I now use a Z3C as my main phone. One reason was that my wife also has one, and this way I can first test the new build on my phone before I put it on hers (she doesn't like it when I take it away for too long ;) ). Also, I really like the fact that the screen/body ratio is noticeably bigger for the Z3C and that it is a bit lighter. The downside of course is that the reason why it is lighter is that the body is not made out of metal anymore.

Personally, I am really limited to the Sony compact line because of the requirements I have for my phone (size, decent specs, sd-card, custom ROM support, etc.; waterproof is nice, too). That said, I was quite underwhelmed by the Z5C (having the SD810) and XC (quite low specs and not waterproof), which is another reason I went for the Z3C.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] TroyBrown:
Thanks, I'm pretty much in the same position.

I fear the day when my Z1C will break down eventually, I've replaced the LCD and the battery already, basically putting way too much money into it.

The funny thing is how expensive the Z1C and Z3C still are, phones of that age should be well below the 300€ threshold but both are in fact a lot more expensive.

I'd personally consider the Z5C but there seems to be a fairly small development community.

I really can't see beyond Sony's compact phones, anything with a bigger screen than 4,7 inch is too big for me.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] derf elot:
Hi guys,

new version is up, including all the security fixes for this month. Since the kernel patches are in there as well, I upped the patch level you see in the "about" info from 1st October 2016 to 5th October 2016.

BatteryLife Question

[MENTION=4063475]derf elot[/MENTION]

thank you for your efforts. much appreciated:good:

b.t.w. CM11 is totally dead on amami? any chance of resurrection?:eek:

[MENTION=1191841]those[/MENTION] who swapped from CM11 to CM12.1:

is the battery life from CM12.1 the same as CM11 :confused:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] CyanoFriend:
Give me a week to test, then i can give you my opinion....
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Nash123:
For me it is slightly worse. But not worth mentioning.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] derf elot:
There isn't really a point in doing new CM11 builds anymore. The general security patches are not merged anymore by CM because of many conflicts and incompatibilities. So there isn't really any point in patching the kernel anymore either, if security issues in mediaserver, stagefright et al. aren't patched anyways.

As for battery life, I have the same experience as [MENTION=2977312]Nash123[/MENTION]. It is slightly worse as compared to CM11, but not a deal breaker for me.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] TroyBrown:
I find battery life better, I'd even say notably better.

Don't know if that's down to CM12.1 exclusively though, because I think some of the Xposed modules might be working a bit better too.

Overall the ROM is a very good bit of work from [MENTION=4063475]derf elot[/MENTION]! :good:

Edit: perhaps I've just been using Amplify a bit better, that might be all.

One more question:

After installing your TWRP version i wanted to test the well known [Z1 Compact][TWRP][PhilZ Touch][CWM] XZDualRecovery.

It installed without failures, but trying recovery i always landed in your TWRP. Any ideas what i do wrong?

Cheers
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] derf elot:
No idea to be honest, only ever been using TWRP myself. I never really understood having more than one recovery at a time. What's the advantage?

Did you install my TWRP on FOTAKernel partition? In that case, you could use Flashtool to flash the FOTAKernel (only FOTAKernel) from latest stock and then try to install that other recovery again.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] CyanoFriend:
For most functions TWRP is good for elder people with lousy sight and big thumbs.

Philz Touch (a variation of CWM) has some more functions.

First: Yes, i did. And now i think to understand why it supersedes the "normal" recovery.

Seccond: I seem to be too stupid to find the FOTAKernel from latest stock. Can you please provide me some link?

Hey everyone,

Thinking of switching from the M7 to Z1 Compact. I've been using CM ROMs on my phones since CM6 (Sprint HTC Evo) and would probably do the same with the Z1C.

Couple of camera related questions - I'm assuming CM11 has the AOSP style camera app. Obviously some of the special features won't be there but as far as the photos themselves is there a noticeable loss of quality with CM11? Do low light photos come out OK? Any other thoughts on the CM camera?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] slonn:
I'm using this ROM and it's working OK. Have spontaneous restarts when running several apps so not sure it handles ram usage very well.

Camera works. The first time you open it after a restart it usages a while to load. The pics quality is similar to stock.
