It's awesome !

Hi all, 2 day's ago I got the message on the Rom OTA update , iHacker v6.2. is available:

- downloaded it on the phone

- moved it to the external SD

- Went to recovery, format data / clean cache / clean Dalvik / Clean Data

- Flashed iHacker 6.2. (came from 6.1.7.) with iHacker Kernel,

- No Reboot

- Flashed Recovery

- Installed Titanium Bakup and Freeze many applications (unsure why I use Titanium, habbit I guess)

Findings :

- Exchange ActiveSync not working, keeps looping about security settings. I'm using the "Corporate" E-mail client, this client is missing the option to NOT ActiveSync Push during nights / weekends. The Exchange ActiveSync client is able to define Peak and Quit hours / days. It's ok for now.

- TimeShift is taking the video, but after taking the video no options are presented to 'shift' the video

Works:

- Xposed Framework (Gravity / Xprivacy)

- HotSpot / Tethering

- 4k Camera

- VPN

- Nice Smile afte seeing messages like "Only visible to married couples"

- Bluetooth Audio streaming

Battery:

- Yesterday i used the Hotspot 8 hours straight (see screenshot, leftside)

- LastNight hotspot deactivated, 3G/4G activated and Telegram + ActiveSync (Battery Drain , overnight, looks nice allmost flat) + Bluetooth enabled and Location is on BatterySaving , NFC disabled.

Overall, nice Rom, I installed all my apps, so i'm unsure if I should test / use iHacker 6.2. Nano. I also haven;t received a OTA message for the 6.2. hotfix. Unsure If I should receive one.

Regards, Onedutch

Timeshift still doesn't work on me after applying the patch. After capturing the video, it will save the file and will not proceed to the edit thing.

Hi guys. I used this room for long time. Anyway. This version, I factory reset and format everything and flashed then flashed ftf 157 with flashtool. I noticed it doesn't have arabic language in it in everything, tried downloading arabic in language and input, still not there.. Attached screenshots for details. Please help.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] chitose_ndy:
Did u really receive 6.2 update in the OTA update?

Cause mine still has no update to 6.2

Or is there something wrong with my OTA?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] onedutch:
Yup on wednesday I notcied the announcement in the forum, went on to Z1 to iHacker en pressed check update. Update was available, I downloaded it en moved it to the external uSD card.

Could be that the update has been removed so it makes room for the Hotfix. Normal download links are also available now, perhaps you can use a normal download?

Best Regards, onedutch

Learn English you Arabian spammer. All world is learning English, you still say no Arabic in rom! Or go use another keyboard which includes Arabic. Dev cannot do anything for it.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] bsmstar:
Why don't you learn to behave?

I always use the phone in English but still I need the texts to show...

I won't go down to your level...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] cashflow67:
This guy is only a developer not a magician. There is a whole forum front of you, you can search and you will certainly find! Yes you are right. You cant down and reach any level!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sumedha Kapoor:
Guys, no more OT please, take your fights somewhere else. Now about the arabic fonts, just copy the fonts folder from the rom that has working arabic fonts, probably the previous versions should have it and replace the fonts folder in the rom and reflash it. You can also do this from root explorer, just copy it to sdcard, replace the folder system/fonts with the previous fonts, set the right permissions and reboot. Let me know if that doesn't work for you.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] cashflow67:
But they dont understand. Although I am experienced from Galaxy S3, I had to make a 3 days research before flash custom roms. Because sony's flashing system is really different from other phones. Any way, I personally apologize from other users and develeoper for discussion.

MOD EDIT: No racist comments...you are warned

can i post a link on mega for the aroma 6.2 (i've uploaded it) ?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
Just installed nano looks amazing no bloatware at all. Will post review soon but

Just a quick update for those who lost root and recovery after 6.2

- install busybox installer

- install buysbox

- flash recovery via installer (you'll get this from nut site search it)

and you are back in business
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
[MENTION=5642039]yoorie016[/MENTION] Thanks for such a detailed review. Thats the way to do it. :good:

Mate, I am working on the new version right now. I will send you the link when its ready so you could mirror it. I will add the mirror directly to the mirror button on the website so that it would be easier for everyone to access it.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Hello guys! I am working on fixing the only two problems that are left in this ROM. Plus working on some new stuff too. Will try to release a new version by this weekend with a lot more improvements and every issue fixed. Although I am still waiting for some detailed reviews on Nano Version and the Google Edition. Most probably I will release all the versions together in public, soon.

Cheers

iHackers
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
yey! thanks for the appreciation! :D
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slayer2333:
Hi Dude,

In the coming version please replace the email and exchange apk's with the attached ones. Same version but they work with corporate accounts. Yours are stuck in security loop.

Everytime i install your ROM i have to flash these ones, but it would be appreciated to have them working out of the box ;)

Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Will do. If you or someone else have any other requests, let me know. :good:

My phone sais that there is a new version from sony and i need a pc to flash it. This rom is not based on last firmware from Sony?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Özgün Özerk:
I'd like to see ultra-stamina mode,

By the way great work iHackers, if some people acting like ungrateful assholes, just ignore them, you know there are more here appreciating your work ^^
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gaseoso:
First impressions after installing google edition: 1- Loss of recovery 2 - At first access the keyboard not working (Solved in settings) No Viper4android 3- The Sony camera is not installed, and truth though a google-edition in my point of view I think that this phone may take the camera stock much more than this (issue also tastes) Although appearance is great;)

Morning post battery consumption

Thanks Ihackers for your work!!!!

Edit: SuperUser not work!!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
That's because you haven't flashed the latest Kernel + Baseband files.

I had already made it before, but I removed it because the ROM's battery life is already improved a lot and I did not feel that there was any need for it. Anyway, for people who would like to use it I will release it separately as a patch or something.

Recovery: There's already a recovery added for the UB but for LB sometimes I add it and sometimes I forget. Its better if you flash it right after the ROM in all cases so that you won't miss it anyway.

Keyboard: Its easy to select it from settings.

Viper4Android: Its because of busybox issue. Some symlinks are messed up, I will look at it as soon as I get my hands on a working phone.

Camera: Its the "Google" version so, I intended to keep everything, I mean literally everything from Google. Like I mentioned in the PM, anything thats removed from the ROM can be easily installed from the Addons Pack, even the camera, just select the 4K Mod.

Superuser: The latest version is not visible by default. You have to go to dialer and dial *#*#1234#*#* to open it. Although maybe thats why as far as I remember I added the previous version which is accessible and works well too.

Review 6.2.1

I'm on unlocked bootloader with my C6903. I used ihackers aroma. And sorry for my bad english.

Installation:

In Twrp i made factory reset. Formating all data, cache,...

Than i flashed ihackers 6.2. After that no reboot, flashed 6.2.1, no reboot and flashed ihackers kernel. No reboot in aroma. Reboot in twrp. No Problems with boot. Recovery is still there. Everything ok.

First use:

Everything looks really good. Nice material design. Everything is working very smooth.

To restore my apps i moved the backup-wizard.apk from sony to system/app and setting permissions. Didn't know why this app isn't in the rom. After reboot i can restore my apps with sonys backup and restore.

So far so good.

Apps:

SuperSu is working. No Problems.

Cam is working. Only problem i found is that it saves videos much slower than stock cam. If i make a video with 4 seconds it takes about 5 seconds to save it. In stock it was about 1 second. Yesterday i make a video with 2 minutes. I get a force close when saving.

Wifi-Hotspot now is working. In 6.1 was a bug in connection. Now it's fixed.

GravityBox some issues with first start. I installed with aroma and some settings didn't worked. After uninstall in xposed and reinstall in xposed everything is working.

Viper isn't working. Error with wrong busybox. After install busybox manuall i have same error.

Gmail is working. Also with other email accounts from other providers.

Other:

No problems with system apps. Wifi, Bluetooth, Nfc, Lte is all working without problems.

Stamina mode is working. In version 6.1 i had some force closes. Now all is good.

Performance control is working. With ihackers kernel i can choose max 2150 mhz. Thought in older version it was about 2400 mhz? Maybee i'm wrong.

No sony update via pc. Rom and kernel are based on latest 157 update.

Battery:

I try to post detailed information after a few days more usage. First impression is really good. I use my xperia very often. Play games, watch videos and so on..

I have to charge after 16 hours. That's good for me. I don't recocnize any overheating problem.

All i can say is the rom is greater than it was before. That's your best work [MENTION=4976309]iHackers[/MENTION]

Thank you so much for your time and your great rom.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] XDAample:
no GCM with greenify

Smooth rom, but it seems not competable with Greenify. It shows "no boost mode with Xposed". I don't know wether this problem is just me undergo or not, anybody?:angel:

Stuck at sony logo after installing Ndual recovery

Hey...

i flashed 6.2.1 i got recovery back but it was taking me to phil recovery.. i want TWRP.. so i flashed the zip file but now i am stuck at sony logo... help me... is there any solution except for flashing .157ftf??
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheG4brieL:
Hello

I downloaded 6.2 Aroma, 6.2.1 patch and flashable dual recovery. After data wipe I instaled first 6.2 --> 6.2.1 patch --> dual recovery --> wipe cache and dalvik then restart phone. And stuck at Sony logo :(

Any help ?

PS. Coming from stock rooted .157
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Vaith:
Flash 6.2, then boot phone. Next thing is to root your phone or install 6.2.1 but I didn't know that we should install it just after 6.2 so I prefer my method because it's tested and working. So, to root phone install 108 kernel, look for Adb method to root it(Google will help you), then install recovery by USB cable then install once again latest kernel and flash 6.2.1. I've done that and phone is working very well.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] -Happy Feet-:
Can anyone tell me if the ihackers Kernel has multirom support?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
Dude, i'm not sure but maybe its because you proceed to wipe cache and dalvik. my advice is re-flash the .157 FTF. then after that, do this method if you're in lock bootloader.

Wipe Data>Factory Reset>Install 6.2>DON'T RESTART!>flash recovery>Turn-off the device.

after that, reboot your phone and see if it is running well, then flash the 6.2.1 patch and restart your phone. No need to wipe anything and you can safely restart after you flash the 6.2.1 patch.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] -Happy Feet-:
For what is the the 6.2.1 Patch?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] doomtrain85:
Flash 6.2, then follow by 6.2.1 patch.

The recovery already included in the 6.2.1 patch, so actually you dont need to flash again.

Once all the flashing job done, please untick reboot and select power off option manually.

Review Nano Rom

I'll be quick commenting... Testing with 30 hours (one charging cycle)

-Installation:Its necessary to flash the recovery just after to install the rom (without restarting!)

.Everything works but i had to install the play services for google account.

.I installed the cam but it has bugs. It's slow and sometimes petrify...the rest is ok.

.Just after disconnecting electricity, when the level battery is full, green led doesn't go off. I have to activate the screen and then the led go off...its strange.

.One important thing! If use the addons pack, wiffi no works! I don't understand it....i had installed Nano rom thrice, clean installation but the issue is the same.

.Play services doesn't work correctly. I turn off automatic updates but it still installing :confused:

.The rom is smooth and fast but it's not stable. For example...sometimes not sound the whatsapp notifications

.Battery life, my feeling is no good. Nano Rom V5 is better, between 5 or 6 hour of screen while this Nano version just 4 hours.

I hope my review help to improve this rom. I'm sorry for my english! Thanks a lot for your work iHacker Best regards ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Shroomster:

Hey buddy... Just falsh. 157Ftf.. If you eant your data as it is.. Don't select wipe data... And your phone will work again...

P.s. Dont flash any recovery zip over this rom.. You will get stuck at sony logo.. Just use the philz recovery for everything
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] trahzebuck:
Coming from rooted .157 Rom I flashed 6.2 (UB, iHackers Kernel) and 6.2.1. patch. No serious issue so far.

Unimpotent :D : Now I have two recoveries. One from kernel and one via Rom. I think this is an issue caused by the patch.

Well done OP. Keep it up. :good:

rom is gr8

smoot

gr8 battery

but why it can show Arabic and Persian characters?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] bsmstar:
Good work man..

To whoever asking about my problem with arabic.. I edited build.prop with es explorer and removed the EG from regional line there, then install a font changer app from play store and put an arabic font there.. Rebooted and now it works.. FYI the build.prop thing is for changing all device to arabic but for keyboard it only need font.. For me there is a bug that the navigation bar target freezes the touchscreen and I have to lock and reopen my devixe. I solved this by disabling the bar targets with gravity box on exposed.. [MENTION=4976309]iHackers[/MENTION] may I suggest adding double tap to sleep and xled from xposed? Its working nice, also, would really really appreciate a dark version.. Thanks alot for all the effors.. Been using this rom from earlier versions since JB

new device for the dev

Guys, I hope that is not too much OT, but I have a question:

iHackers mentioned a few times his Z1 is broken and he does not have a working device to test his changes and fixes. This seems to be problem to me.

The Honami is my second Smartphone. My first one was a Dell Streak 5, aka the mother of all 5” Smartphones.

There was a very active community and at least one time we raised money to buy a new device for an outstanding Developer (_n0p_).

Due to this he was able to provide us witch more updates for his Rom.

Could this working in our case, too?

Are there any XDA rules or policies speaking against this?
[MENTION=4976309]iHackers[/MENTION], would this be an option for you?

If yes, how could we run this?

I’m very curious about your opinions…
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
If it will be okay to the dev, then why not! :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] tofclaire:
i try google edition, timeshift is ok with it. All seems to works. i will post a review in the week.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] tofclaire:
...wifi doesn't work for me...i activate it but it stay desactivated... i've tried some kernel, ihackers, trinity... but no way to make it working...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] -Happy Feet-:
Have you make an fresh install? I used trintiy and stock Kernel. No Problem.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] tofclaire:
yes, fresh install... with aroma or google edition ...i install rom with no selected 4k timeshift,, , install patch 6.2.1, then wifi is ok. I install xposed framwork and xperia xposed then i install 4k timeshift with addons. By this way, timeshift works for me but then no wifi... :eek:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slayer2333:
The no Wifi issue is due to the addon. I also had this problem when flashing the Addon package.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] KWOKSFUNG:
Guys I cant install V4A by busybox problem, could someone help me?

thanks

btw, why seems to be old version unlock screen?? just why :) ??
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gaseoso:
I have a dude??

You do fresh install google edition??

I have for two days this ROM (google), and never got a problem with WiFi, I flashed three times , What kernel flashed?, try 108 or 157.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] doomtrain85:
Guys..if i want to dpi, besides using xposed, can i directly bck to recovery and using the flashable zip to flash other dpi?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
as far as i know, if you will not wipe your cache and dalvik, you can use the 6.2 rom and select another DPI. No data will be lose or wipe after flash.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] HeinekenAmstel:
Hey, so i just installed this Rom. (I haven't bothered flashing roms in a really long time, so not only i have forgot lots of stuff, but i was never too good at this...) So, the problem i have is that:

I did reset to factory settings while i was using the earliest version of the supported kernels. Everything so far works fine BUT i cannot update SU binary, i cannot boot into Philz Recovery and i tried re-installing the recovery but soon as phone restarts, i get the rom booted instantly, without having a chance to get into recovery. What i was thinking on doing is installing a fresh rom, re-rooting and then re-installing. I think all this may have happened because right before i installed the rom, i formatted to get a clean rom install, so im afraid it also deleted the recovery? Sorry for being a noob at this, still learning.

Edit: So after browsing through the thread a bit, i found i missed the step of flashing the recovery after the rom and i'm supposed to start all over again? Where exactly from? Clean unrooted rom?

Edit 2: So after reading even more careful I found all the answers i needed, sorry for the useless post :P
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Chocolatetrain:
Is the 4K mod from my camera mod or is it from the creator's thread? If it's my camera mod, then it may be because I based it off of .108 / old Z2 firmware.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] f0xy:
Sorry for OT,

Just thought I'd add a small snippet

We are seeing this all too often now people being disrespectful and too expectful...aka demanding.

A good remindful article needs to go on the front page to remind individuals how all this development work is mostly carried out in spare time and on donation basis!

Don't mean to carry it on it just hit a nerve, I'm not even a developer :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Pryx:
So first things first - currently testing the nano version... It's insane! (in a good way) ;) All the bloatware removed, installing only what i use... That's what i really needed... :) Incredibly smooth and stable so far... Would appreciate blue theme and some other minor changes, but it's not important, because the rom looks and feels great. Looking forward to test battery life ;) Great work [MENTION=4976309]iHackers[/MENTION] I seriously hope you won't stop developing because of some disrespectful people, that would be a shame.

EDIT: Cannot get Viper working... Updated busybox, but after "succesful" driver installation still asks me to install driver... :( Not sure what is the problem here...

Even though I'm only a student and don't have that much money, I'm definitely in, for there could be more great updates :) Great idea ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] HeinekenAmstel:
right, so i am trying to re-root on the firmware you mentioned "14.4.A.0.157_BAL.ftf" and towelroot gets stuck at libdvm opened :-/

Edit: Found a guide on another website, im not sure if i should post here as i dont know the rules too well. If anyone says its ok, ill be happy to provide it :)

Edit2: Is there any way we can see all 3 boot animations without flashing 3 times?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TheG4brieL:
So I don't need to re-flash the whole ROM? I can check only what I want to change, don't wipe cache and dalvik and it should work? What about patch 6.2.1?
