Kernels

Have anybody tested the v6.1beta with any other kernels than the stock & Ihackers own? And how do they work with the Rom? :confused:

Does everybody have UB and NOT stock kernels, that has gotten the issues some of Us have reported back? :confused:

Have reinstalled back to v6.1beta without the patch since the wifi was not working properly(which I really need ;) ) but are awaiting a solution to this.

But would really like to hear from others about what kernels everyone has been using and what issues that has been eliminated because of that, especially since [MENTION=3835106]nemesisexsp[/MENTION] has not encountered any problems on Trinity kernel.

I have UB and have been using IHackers kernel.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dodimo:
can i flash it if im on 157.ftf, unlock bootloader an cm12
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] robisrobis:
What kernel do you have?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] nemesisexsp:
Trinity
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TbbKillerrat:
Installed 6.1 and then 6.1.5 wlan is still working.

Gravity Box is working.

Playstore is working.

Small apps working.

Installed Sony backup and restore in system and restored apps.

Everything looks fine.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gaseoso:
Tested for two days. I have not found any major bug for now, if I miss applications for the camera or insert the module Bravía 3. Otherwise have much fluidity and battery discharge is correct. Sorry for my English.

This ROM is another magistral work iHackers!!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] tofclaire:
wifi works now, i had to reinstall 6.1 , stayed in recovery and installed patch...

All is working except timeshift video. Does it work on yours ?

Amazing works ihackers !
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] onedutch:
I Agree please report more info on kernels everyone is using (and UB or not UB)!!

What Kernel do you have ? Unlocked boot loader or not?

What Kernel do you have ? Unlocked boot loader or not?

What Kernel do you have ? Unlocked boot loader or not? Timeshift is working for me, I'm on a ulocked bootloader and iHacker kernel.

Can someone confirm / test if Tethering works ? It doesn't work on mine, DNS isn't working on the guest device.

Regards Onedutch

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] robisrobis:
Could you please turn on advanced restart and could you please try Reboot to recovery? Is this working for you ? (for me not)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TbbKillerrat:
Im on ihackets kernel unlocked bootloader
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TbbKillerrat:
Restart to recovery is working after uninstalled gravity box and installed again. Phone boot up i philz touch recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] robisrobis:
I tried your sggestion and for me it is not possible

I am using xpose from iHackers menu which is 2.7

I tried uninstall all xpose modules and after that i install only gravitybox, but if i enable restart to recovery than , i cant go to recovery

I can go to recovery by turning ON device and manualy pressed volume up (sam if I use sejars xposed module

)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TbbKillerrat:
Xposed is version 2.7 experimental 1. And gravity box is 3.5.3r1
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] robisrobis:
same as I
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TbbKillerrat:
Viper doesn't work. Wrong busybox??

Hotspot doesn't work. It switches on, off, on, off.....
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Here's the new patch: iHackers v6.1.7 [Patch]. It should fix all the "actual" issues with the current beta build. BTW: You don't need to wipe your data partition or anything else for flashing this patch. Just flash the original beta build (yes, again) and flash this one over it (skip v6.1.5) and you are done. I also pushed it via OTA in case someone like using OTA Updater, its all the same anyway.

The guy with MX Player issue: I tested it personally its working fine on Sumedha's Phone (Enable H/W+ decoders in case you haven't) and so is Gravity Box (Maybe you forgot to install framework files from Settings >> iHackers >> Xposed) and so is GPS and SD Card as well and everything else that you mentioned. Antutu Scores are pretty nice too. Let me know if there are still any other issues left. I will fix those and then release the Closed Betas of Lollipop and Nano Versions for you guys to test. :good:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] cashflow67:
Can I flash it over 6.1.5? Because I'm using 6.1.5
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] onedutch:
I never installed 6.15 patch, I only had the Beta 6.1. without 6.15. Ublocked Bootloader and iHacker kernel.

I downloaded the big update trough OTA , after download I uncheck the box to clear a cache (unsure which one, I think the Wipe cache, it had 3 options and the bottom option was 'default' selected). The Z1 restarted and booted into recovery, I Manually installed the update and rebooted.

I notice few things , after power on the device and wipe the screen with my finger to unlock I hear a 'sound' , looks something is made 'Default' Also when the 30 seconds inactivity is over and the screens turns of I hear this sound. WiFi is working to connect to an access point and download. iHackers, your godlike... What did you do, the Browser Chrome (was installed before patch) was sluggy / slow. Now it's unbelievable fast.. Did you tweak something in the Network stack ? Also without WiFi (working on 3G) the browsing speeds is fenomenal !!

BadLuck for me, WiFi hotspot is still not working. When I enable the hotspot, it switched on, says in the Staus Bar "Tethering or Hotspot Active" and every 1-2 seconds you see it saying "Turning Off Hotspot". See the screenshot and the red circles, sometime you see "Error Hotspot " on the same spot as "Turning Off Hotspot" . Also I get the impression the Z1 is getting worm. The HotSpot feature isn't working on 6.1. without also. I also asked several times if someone elke can confirm that HotSpot is working for them.

Can I collect / gather logs for you to take a look? Which Logs do you need?

Best Regards,

Onedutch
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] richmaster1o2:
I have no Problems with this 6.1 Beta, and I must thank you that I can be a Beta Tester.

The Battery is perfectly fine, and GPS and so works really good.

Antutu Score is 38500+.

In all i MUST say this is the best Rom which ive tested.

If you need Lollipop Beta Tester, I´m here:D

Keep up the good work, and the Patches
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] onedutch:
Hello richmaster, did you install the 6.17 Patch also? And I'm curious if you are able to test the tethering / wifi hotspot. Are you on a Unlocked Bootloader and what Kernel do you use ?

Cheers, Onedutch
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] richmaster1o2:
I will test later, but yes i have installed the Patch. I´m on locked Bootloader...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
Beta Tester for iHackers 6.1

just got my link!

i'll post later my feedback per versions.

quick question, does the latest patch from iHackers is a consolidated one together with the previous patches?

thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slayer2333:
Weird issue. Everytime i flash the beta ROM (after full wipe) followed by the 6.1.7 patch (before reboot) then Dual recovery i get stuck at the sony logo after reboot. Anyone experienced the same issue ?

Edit: My fault, i had to reboot first before installing the patch
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] onedutch:
Yes it does , and it shows up as 6.1.7. in the OTA environment.

Regards, Onedutch
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
thanks! still downloading.. i guess ill send my reports tom morning (philippine time) :D
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] tofclaire:
with the new patch, all is working except always timeshift. When i start it i can make a film 120fps but at the end , the option to make timeshift desn't start...

It works for everybody ?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TbbKillerrat:
Update to 6.1.7. Tethering still doesn't work also viper doesn't work.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
PRE-FEEDBACK: ihackers 6.1 LB

Done with the download and install!

LB mode:

- wipe data/factory reset

- install ihackers 6.1

- install dual recovery by NUT

- power off then turn on

- did not install a patch

Notes:

- ROM is pretty runs well. just like the stock ROM i used before i install this.

- switched to ultra stamina mode, at first it work fine but when i tried to turn it off, my phone restart. (its that normal?)

- wifi perfectly working.

- better camera viewing and shots! timeshift doesnt work well after i used it.

- after 20 mins, i locked my phone then when i unlock it, the screen does not response at all. then i restarted it by force restart. then everything work fine.

- few usage, watched some vids, took some pictures and opens all available application, but still it runs smooooooooothly :D

I'll try to update to 6.1.7 tom to see if the previous issues will show in LB before i try the UBL. (which is i don'y since its better to have the Bravia and x-reality intact. :D

btw, thank you again [MENTION=4976309]iHackers[/MENTION] for letting me in for the beta testing.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] onedutch:
I thought recording in "Timeshift video" is it, I didn't know something should happen after stopping recording. Do you have a screenshot of what should happen ? Nothing happens on my phone, it just mentions a small thumbnail topright corner saying 120fps. When pressing the Thumbnail it just starts playing normal speed.

Works on my c6903 UB and iHacker kernel 6.1.7. patched 6.1 beta

What should / can I check for Viper? I'm able to Enable it for Phone Speaker, it doesn't say anything, I can select 'Preset' 's I don;t hear any difference.

If I'm correct we both have iHacker kernel and Unlocked Bootloader. I also have no Hotspot, I use it everyday, WiFi Hotspot. Perhaps someone with another kernel (Trinity or something else) can test Hotspot / WiFi Tethering?

Regards, Onedutch
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] tofclaire:
in timeshift, after stop video, you must have a cursor on screen for select the time of timeshift...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
Timeshift Video Mode

timeshift video must be like this one>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2tyVl3j6Ws

for the screen shot, while im trying to get a video from timeshift, the quality is green-like background something while im using it. but in normal video mode, everythings looks fine.

Timeshift Mode> Left Picture

Normal Video > Right Picture
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] robisrobis:

After capturing timeshift video you must have something like this View attachment 3153233

it is UI for editing video (you are marking part which can be slowed)

Was on 5.x and today got a prompt for OTA 6.1.7, flashed the patch but it installed a bunch of Google stuff I didn't have and didn't want.

Is there a way to download 6.1.7 minimal ver and 6.1.7 addon package?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] cashflow67:
Don't flash recovery. Patch 6.1.7 has already recovery inside. No, don't reboot. Flash 6.1 then flash 6.1.7 patch then reboot
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TbbKillerrat:
I can't install viper. It says wrong busybox.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] osmancan71:
send me a link PM pls
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slayer2333:
Ok, thank you! I was not aware that recovery was included in the last patch.

We lost ultra stamina with the new setting.apk though.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] cashflow67:
I don't care ultra stamina so much. Cause I use only stamina and it is sufficient for me :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
Ubl+custom kernel with patch or lb with patch?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TbbKillerrat:
My impressions after Patch 6.1.7. I'm on unlocked bootloader with ihackers kernel.

Rom ist fast and stable.

Cam is working.

Gps is working.

Gravitybox is working with reboot to recovery.

Playstore is working ans google apps too.

Batterie life is good.

Hotspot isn't working.

Viper can't be installed. Message says wrong busybox.

Anything else is fine. No other problems found.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] cpx07:
hello,

it's just me or the dialer does not have auto find when trying to type a name and not a number?

How can i fix this?

LE : it fixed by itself :)

Thank you

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] thalada:
First of all thanks to [MENTION=4976309]iHackers[/MENTION] for allowing me to beta test this one.

Did a clean install of V6.1 beta followed by the V6.1.7 patch.

My mobile is boot loader unlocked, here are my findings.

-> Impressive performance, no lag whats so ever and battery life seems to be good so far but should wait for some recycles.

-> Camera seems to better, seriously pic clarity seems to have improved.

-> As some one reported earlier, time shift video is not working.

-> Screen Brightness is also good

Everything is working fine as it should be, good work ihackers.

Thanks for the Rom.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] danielalarcon:
Question, have you tested the wifi sport option? Just checking before testing Beta 6.1 since I use this daily.

---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

+1 ??

I have locked bootloader, should I flash the iHacker kernel or stick to the one I already have? Just cuirous before flashing. I'm on C6902 LB.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
dont flash the kernel! it will brick your phone.. im on LB and stick to the stock kernel.. unlock your Bl first so you can flash any kernel..
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] osmancan71:
Where is the download link? PM pls...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
ask the developer for a link..but this ROM is still on beta, so you may not enjoy it since it has still some bugs..
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] osmancan71:
I know :) ı wil try
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] reflexr:
Today it's my first day with latest beta. After a clean flash of the rom everything seems fine. But aosp browser is force closing, another browser is running great.

And another problem is, that the phone is freezing when I am pressing home button for few moments and swype up to start Google search.

Edit : New bug found. Setting to adjust call vibration isn't working.

Process com.android.phone stop working

Uhm, Buttery usage??

Maybe a spell error?

FEEDBACK: iHackers 6.1.7 Patch

I flashed today the update (6.1.7) and here's my report.

- there's no restart menu when you hold the power button, which was present in the 6.1 ROM. (without update)

- the SuperSU was removed after the update. I just install my own copy then the root permissions was back. but the icon still not display in the app drawer.

- Battery life is pretty good and there's not battery draining while the phone is idle.

- the word Personalization in settings was changed after the update. (Personalisation in 6.1.7 Patch)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] oveler:
Testing iHackers v6.1

The same to me. I solved the problem with super su when i installed the app using play store. Continuing the issue with Viper4Android.

But my experience with this rom is very good. Everything works perfectly and battery is really good. Congratulations and thanks for your dedication!

However, I will report if i find issues. Regards!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Botandroid:
Please, somebody help me! im gonna install the beta v6.1 but i dont now your base. Is .188 or .157? I1m in LB.

I read the buildpro. and say that is for .157!

Here I go!!!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
try to look in the settings>about. look for firmware version something..if your in .108, flash or update your phone to .157 via pc cpmpanion, or OTA update, or a flashtool..

also, this ROM is in .157, so dont make any changes if your version is .157 already..
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Botandroid:
I have a .157 rom installed. I need to install the .157 stock, or simply I delete everything before installing the v6.1?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
if you want to start in 6.1 without any patch or update to 6.1.7, follow this simple steps.

LB mode:

Make a backup first before proceeding.

- copy ROM in SD card and also your flashable dual recovery (i used Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.159-BETA.flashable.zip)

- reboot to recovery

- wipe data/factory reset

- install ihackers 6.1 ROM

- do not restart!

- install dual recovery by NUT (i used Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.159-BETA.flashable.zip)

- power off then reboot your phone.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Botandroid:
I just installed the v6.1.7. The first test the timeshift does not work and the browser either. The key to return ago, does not work. otherwise everything works perfectly and very fast. Good job!

Ahh almost forgot ... the wallpaper is not contained in the Theme that I select.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
what about the camera quality? have you tried the 4k and timeshift? did you notice that the color background in the timeshift is green?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] reflexr:
Someone using greenify with latest beta? I can't enable few experimental features. Error not compatible with your ROM?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TbbKillerrat:
I came from dstriker 157 rom. I go to recovery made factory reset and installed ihackers. For me it worked.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
check your root permissions, busybox and configurations from xposed..did you install/update your framework?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dyonissos:
I did the OTA upgrade from 5.2 to 6.1.7 and i have FC on google apps: gmail, calendar and so on. Other than that everything seems ok.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
have you tried to uninstall the google play service and update it again?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] dyonissos:
No, i reverted back to the 5.2 backup. I am quite pleased with 5.2, another KK build seems unnecessary for me. Waiting for the official Lollipop build. Have tried several CM12 based ROMs, they're pretty good, but i got used with the stock features, so iHackers seems to be the best option for me. Thanks again for this amazing ROM!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Botandroid:
About câmara, I don't have green color in background of timeshif, it only grabs in 120fps and nothing more. The 4k it's OK! The best of this ROM it's the battery, drain very slow!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
good to hear that! maybe there's wrong with the google play service or its already outdated. try to restart your phone again then see if it will show FC. if so, install a new google play service.

im using the rom as my daily driver, and the performance+battery life does not let me down. :)

i waiting too for the lollipop version, but it will take a several updates until it will be stable. i hope someone can still continue this project that their next dev is with stock lollipop.

can you post a screenshot while using the timeshift video? and are you in UBL or LB!?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] reflexr:
Hey, if I am connected to a Bluetooth sound system I can't raise or lower the volume. Nothing happened. Can someone try this?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TbbKillerrat:
I have a bluetooth headset and bluetooth speakers. Can change volume without problems.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Botandroid:
I'm on LB. How can I update Google play services? Here's the screen saver of timeshift video.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
thanks for the SC! but, can you please add more shots? like in a open space with enough color so we can compare my SC to yours?

BTW, thanks! :D
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Botandroid:
Here it is with colors.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
nice colors! i think its just my room is kind of gloomy and dark, and also its already midnight here at my place. i'll try to post a picture tom to see if i have a problem with my camera or its just dark when im trying to show in lowlight place.

---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

about your google play service, try to download this > http://www.apk4fun.com/apps/com.google.android.gms. just install it and it will update your google play service.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TbbKillerrat:
I can make timeshift videos too, without problems. But i don't know whats the sense of timeshift. I only can watch the video. No options for slowing down or anything else.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
Timeshift can manipulate the video like setting a slow motion on a certain time frame. are you in LB?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TbbKillerrat:
I'm on unlocked bootloader. But i only can make a video. Settings are only save to sd or interal. Nothing else.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Botandroid:
Me to!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
Well im not quite sure why does the timeshift is not working. i'll just wait for the next update since it was already reported.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] juliheavy:
can install since 14.4.a.0.108 ?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] danielalarcon:
Ok, so I finally took the chance an updated to 6.1, I come from stock .108 with many xposed modules.

First impressions:

Very fast! This ROM really takes advantage of the phone resources. Good job there.

2. Installation instructions need a little more information for us with LB, I finally got the idea, but it could save time to add some notes like, flash the 6.1 and, before restart, flash the dual recovery ;)

3. Most thing work well out of the box, for me to get gravity box working, of course I had to install xposed framework, any chance this could be enabled while flashing? And then I had to recover data from my TB backup, and after restart I could open it again

4. The only reason not to use it as a daily driver is that wifi hotspot doesn't work, when tried to enable it keeps trying to start over and over, I use this daily, I may wait for some days or try 5.2 release while this is fixed

For now I will try the camera and other apps and services for a day or two before downgrading.

So far, this looks nice! Keep up the good work! Will definitely donate!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] mikailmohammed:
I cant flash this just yet. sigh too busy with my phone and work for now. Will have to wait for the full release when ever that comes out. I hope soon as well. My battery is dying with my current rom lol.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
You can install this ROM, but you must flash the .157 after you install the ROM for your proper baseband.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
Here's my screen shot while using the Timeshift video. also, take note the quality when you zoomed it.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] danielalarcon:
So, after trying 6.1 for a couple of days, I now flashed to 5.2.

Everything works fine on 5.2 including WIFI-HOTSPOT!!! has anyone being on 5.2 upgraded to 6.1.7 and have this working?

Also, Greenify experimental features all work well on 5.2 but not on 6.1, seems that something got missing.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] drvinny:
i too reverted back to 5.1........Since 5 versions have absolutely no issues....... everything is fine........ where as 6.1.......Is having very minimal changes...... and moreover glitches in many things...... like browser, battery settings, camera, wifi hotspot....... etc........ so that's y......
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
Well, the 6.1 is still on the BETA part so its obviously you'll find some issues. 5 versions are already stable or because its running on .108/.133, which is a stable ROM not like the .157 which the 6.1 is running into.
