Thanks for your useful feedback, I'm happy that you like it.

My motives develop are having fun and learning only, I'm not intending to gain money out of xda for the time being,

however, I'll consider your willing to buy me a drink as a huge thanks:D, and that makes me really happy:cowboy:

Hi, this looks nice - will give it a try :good:

Just wondering, can I enable glove mode with this ROM?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] OmarEinea:
As I remember, yes you can

Seems like I hit a major bug: enabling encryption reproducibly kills all sensors.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] doenen:
Hey!

I like the idea of the ROM very much! is it ready for daily usage!? (including GPS etc.)

is the battery life better than in stock KK!?

is the quality of the camera equal to sony's or can I install sony camera!?

Thank you very much for your answers and the work you put into your ROM!

Android OS going crazy

Hi, me again...

It seems that there is some kind of problem with Android OS app, because it works all the time in background...

I monitored it for 2 cycles and it starts usually after 1 day of reboot.

So my "Cycle" is this: I would recharge my phone on magnetic stand, reboot, use it whole day, put on charger in the night (Android OS is usually 45min working time), and starting from tomorrow morning, when I take it off the charger, Android OS would start running like crazy.

In 1stCycle.zip there are 3 images showing that Android OS is 60% in use and ~18h, and in 2nd Cycle there are 5 images showing that Android OS uses more battery than screen - 78% --> 15%.

I still have some random connection lags so I have to reboot my phone in order to get connection back (sometimes toggling Airplane Mode helps).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] OmarEinea:
I think it is ready for daily use (including GPS etc.),

I can't judge the battery life because it is related to how you use your phone also I didn't use it for along time to know,

the quality of the camera is worse than sony's, but it's good enough in my opinion,

I guess you have to try it and see for your self all answers of your questions;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] doenen:
I will do so as soon as I have unlocked the bootloader/have less work in real life :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] aviduser:
Hi all

Really happy with rom so far.

Everything seems to work well and battery has been great today (although I turned off google now so that might explain that)

Tip for everyone.

I didn't really understand the install instructions of the boot.img

So I used the flash tool in fast boot mode and used the load kernel feature, worked fine rom booted 1st time round.

Look forward to 5.0 which is right around the corner.

Thanks to the DEV for his work here.

I'm still trying to figure out what is causing Android OS to go crazy. Installed Better Battery Stats yesterday.

I will keep monitoring for 2 more days and then post it here.

My guess is that it is something with Magnetic charger dock...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Iruwen:
Unfortunately, enabling encryption still kills all sensors, so still unusable for me :( Maybe that's some Z1C specific ramdisk/init/rc issue, iirc I also had that problem with Resurrection Remix when I last checked so eventually that's a common issue for all recent CM11 based roms. I'll test a CM11 nightly.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] charlatan01:
Loving the ROM thus far, but I am having one issue.

I can set ringtones and notification tones, but upon reboot, they do not stay set, and the setting shows "unknown ringtone". Thoughts?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] OmarEinea:
tested this issue right now, I don't have this bug, although I remember having it on my other device,

and if I recall correctly, it wasn't ROM related, but I don't remember how to solve it:confused:

I suppose doing a clean install should solve the problem!!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] charlatan01:
Yeah, thanks. It may be access to my SD card... I am going to look into it a bit more. This was off a fresh, clean, full wipe install. Thanks for the input.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Iruwen:
I just tested it and the same is true for the latest CM11 nightly (FXP319 from 20140513).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] OmarEinea:
yeah it is a known bug in CM11.0, and so it'll be presented in every CM11.0 based ROM as well, you know.

After instal from trwp from stock 4.4.2 root 757 phone dont boot. only black screen. if i hold power on on 3 secound pause i have vibration. If i connect to pc, device are connected and after 20sec disconnected. vol+ + power dosent work. vol - before connected wordk - phone in download mode. No adb mode. instalation i doing with instruction.

This is something like flash mode loop.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] OmarEinea:
are you sure that your device has an unlocked bootloader??
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] netmen5:
no. only root
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] OmarEinea:
Here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2642081

just skip the "Rooting" section and do the "DRM keys Backup" if you wonna keep your warranty, then do the "Unlocking bootloader" section,

also you can unlock it using the official way: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions

unlock it then flash the ROM, and everything will work perfectly;)

antutu benchmark.

Ok, after 5h of fight, i unlock bootloader and isstall this rom.

I have one Q about antutu:

Stock 4.4.2: 35800

Slim 4.4.2: 32000.

I expected gain of antutu points, but score is lower. what could be the cause?

Have anyone gtalk for this rom? i can't find working gtalk. after install i cann't connect to my account.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Proda:
Hi, me again...

I took screenshots during past 5 days so we can try to see what is causing Android OS to use battery that much.

All images are in the zip bellow, with dates taken so you can follow what is going on.

I also used BetterBatteryStats to monitor the behavior and the only thing that caught my eye was something called migration/1 or migration/2 in Process tab.

BTW...I have SlimKat on my Nexus10 too and AndoidOS is usually the lowest one in battery consumption.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] OmarEinea:
No idea, antutu isn't really trustworthy, and you obviously you mean "Hangouts" instead of "Gtalk" right? if not then try "hangouts" it is newer;)

Hmmmm, I've searched on google for what could be causing this problem, and it seems a widespread bug (in all ROMs and all android versions)

but the reason seems to be the users' usage!! I mean now I remember that I didn't find anything could cause this problem in your logcats!!

so all I can suggest is to look into google for solution, maybe you'll find something useful, and maybe you should start here:

Finding problems:

1) If i select media form sdcard (ringtone, proto to windget,...) after some time, or reboot, media lost. ringtone dosent work, widget dont display photo.

2) Stock gallery if i select photo, get fc

3) Settings/interface/notification & qsdraver

4) Random fc other apliaction like instagram

5) battery drain - 30% on 5h, display 50% time on. setcpu set to 1.8ghz, and profile display off 300mhz-1000mhz and using greenify

Is any option to hide battery icon?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] akshaybz:
Can't say about the problems you listed but the option to hide battery icon should be there in next build :)

Saw a commit on slim gerrit yesterday
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] charlatan01:
I didn't find the root cause to these, which I've had myself. I wound up copying all my ringtones etc.. to the system folder and it works fine then. I've also noticed on reboot my music player lists the file playing as some system file, which is behavior I am not accustomed to.

Other topic

Is there a chance we could get this tweak added to the ROM? I notice that the volumes are kind of low at max... suggesting to me it hasn't been added.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] OmarEinea:
I think someone has mentioned this problem in this thread weeks ago, and I think it was misuse he caused, and he fixed it by reflashing the ROM,

not sure though

Well SlimKat 5.2 is out, so I'm gonna be compiling it today, hopefully I'll upload it today as well,

I have asked for your mod's developer to give me permission to include it in this ROM, so will have to wait for his respond then compile 5.2;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] charlatan01:
Don't hold a compile on my account...:) it's easy enough to apply afterwards. Just figured I'd see if it was possible. Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] OmarEinea:
It isn't just for you (I don't mean any offence with that), I'll compile it because they have released a new version just today (which is 5.2),

I was gonna compile it anyway for all users.

and BTW, I know it is easy to apply even after the ROM is compiled, but including it in source makes it easy for me,

now I don't have to add it every time I compile the ROM nor to care if I forget to add it or not,

anyway, he gave me the permission, so I'll compile it and publish it as soon as I can.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Proda:
Ok, I think this is some misunderstanding here...Sorry about that.

I know that usage could cause Android OS to kill your battery, but this is something else here.

The best thing to describe it is shown in these 2 screen shoots I took this morning.

You will notice that in only 30min CPU Usage of Android OS jumped from 4h to 12h!!! :eek:

And that is what makes this whole thing weird :confused:

Thanks...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] OmarEinea:
Hmmm, well that is really weird !!!

maybe it is just misreading or something???!!!

I mean no one has reported this nor I have on my device so :confused::confused: I'm as confused as you are, and I have no idea what might cause this or what could solve it!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Proda:
Thanks...

So I was thinking that I start from the scratch today...Flash Android 4.4 again, root it and whatnot...

Install all my apps that I have now...Track it for 2 days.

After that, I can flash SlimKat, no apps, track it for a few days...

Install apps, track it...

That could show us what the hell is going on.

BTW, my battery is not affected by this thing at all...

I still have amazing battery life, more than a day, with 7h screen on time!!! (attached images)

Any way we can install/flash the sony camera app? I don't like the default one as it sometimes lags and quality is sub par.

I tried flashing the one here but when I open it it always says "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped"
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] nism0o:
No. It needs sony framework. (roms based on stock fw)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Xaeons:
Snap. One of the most stable ROMS but the camera is really bugging me. Thanks anyways.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] charlatan01:
Well, I ran through a clean install again, and I still have the same behavior with sdcard ringtones etc.. This time, when I moved them to the internal memory, it wouldn't play any of them. It just played the default sound.

Not sure what's going on.. should I wipe internal memory, install twrp via fastboot and install that way?

Update

Second Update

Well, I haven't found root cause, but I found even after copying the files to the system folder, they wouldn't play correctly. I found permissions on the files to be different... changed them and rebooted. They all work now again, though it's not from SD Card. :confused:

Earphones are not working. Anybody else with the same problem?

Fudge me with a rake, the 3.55mm jack on the z1c is somehow DIFFERENT and not backwards compatible with older headphones
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] charlatan01:
Uhhh, what? Sorry, but Headphones work fine for me... and I don't think there's anything different about the jack connection. I suppose they could've switched left / right... but I HIGHLY doubt they've done anything there. Check your headphone jack hole for lint or anything else that might prevent full plugin.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] ctap001:
I plugged in the in-ear headphones that came with my Active. That's a 2011 model. Didn't work. Then I remembered that the compact came with it's own set, which was of lesser quality than the one that came with the active. The latter worked. The compact is using the newer CTIA ports.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] charlatan01:
Hmm, well not sure what to say. I've got some 7 year old Sennheiser 555's and a pair of Westone W2's I've plugged into them and both worked as expected. Sorry you've had issues...

On another note, I loaded the latest last night and all is peachy!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] ctap001:
The CTIA has been around for quite some time but it wasn't as wide spread as the old one (just inferring from what I've googled) but the more expensive sets would probably have been fitted with CTIA plugs. Cheaper ones, like the one I tested, are more likely to have come with the older standard
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] idimitro:
Hi guys I have been quite happy with the SlimKat sans some peculiarities:

- there is no quick settings stripe in the notification bar. Is this by design?

- JB style app selection is missing

- the SlimKat can be a bit too slim for daily use :) Is there a way to bump up the dpi or the font size to improve the usability in the subway for example

Otherwise perfectly stable and good batter life.

I've not done it myself on this ROM, but it's very easy to edit the build.prop file to change your density. I am inclined to think that the play store used is DPI independent... so use your favorite file explorer, go to \system\, mount it R/W, and edit the line in the build.prop that says ro.sf.lcd_density. Default for our device should be 320 if I recall correctly.

I find 280 to be a nice balance.

YMMV
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] idimitro:
Thanks for the info. I used the textdroider_dpi from the post above and it worked nicely. And obviously the great minds think alike because I also stopped at 280 after experimenting :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] OmarEinea:
You guys, I always upload builds with 280 dpi in the build prop!!!

are you editing it and reverting back to what it was? ,or am I wrong about it being 280 ??:confused:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] essi:
For me it doesn't matter, I once changed the build.prop and my 320 dpi stays always after dirty flash.

BTW thanks for your great work. I came from Galaxy S2 with SlimKat sabered by fusionjack and besides a few features I really feel back home.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] charlatan01:
280 is fine by me. More than that, I appreciate that the Play Store that's used doesn't require any tweaks to work :)

I have a stupid question... it's not just related to this ROM.

How the heck does one group the responses for a group SMS? Like, I receive an SMS from a person that included 5 people. It looks like I can only reply to him, and responses from others in the SMS are in separate threads. I tried switching to hangouts and checking the group messages box... but it's not doing what I want :). :confused:

I can't speak for WiFi, but I know Bluetooth works great. I can test WiFi when I have a bit of time in the next day or so.
