Last week I tried the aroma version, after installing I noticed that locked dual recovery was missing, not surprising. However you do not need to reroot from start. iHackes has super user so all you need to do is enabled debug, and rerun the install script for locked dual recovery enable access in root and Voila, recovery is back on the phone. The reason I reverted back was the albums app was crashing, everytime another app installed. I did not put to much effort into trying to determine why (since 5.2 was out I assumed that would fix things) or possibly version 6...

Regarding lollipop, this phone will likely run it better than most, but I am still liking KK as well and look forward to trying iHackers 6

I think v6.1 won't be lollipop. It probably will be .157 base. Dont look other developers. ihackers likes stability, I feel he won't port lollipop which wasn't released officially for Z1.

Really? You did it like that? I tried 10 times but I couldn't do it. Whenever I used install script for dual recovery, my phone was stuck at sony logo. My bootloader is locked and I reported this situation to "Nut" dual recovery developer, He says me installing recovery script changes your chargemon files. I think it is about rom not recovery not developer. As I said this phone's flashing style is weird and diffrent from all other phones.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] notzippy:
I agree this phone is not what I would call a normal "recovery" instead the bootloader is hijacked by modifying a couple of files in the system (on the plus side it makes it easier for roms to come "preloaded" with recovery, not sure why iHackers has not added that yet).. When I ran the script it did report that it failed but I checked the files and they were updated properly (and after reboot I did have the option) so not sure what happened when you tried it. Maybe there was a permissions issue ? Once again, it worked so I didn't knock it.

If you want to install and try another custom rom untill ihackers release v6.1, You can ask me from PM. I will suggest you another rom. But be sure ihackers will do his best as much as he can :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] danielalarcon:
No lollipop needs here! I'm well ok with KitKat 4.4.4, just want something more stable and clean than original stock, which sounds like the 6.1 will look like, I will wait, and hope that the recovery comes as part of it already too :) now..... to wating mode!

Hey.sir.

Can I be the tester?

Yes please
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] notzippy:
Firstly big thanks to iHackers for putting this together.

Quick install review

Did not choose browser, yet default browser was installed. Did not seen an option to install chrome.

Was able to "flash" this then flash http://nut.xperia-files.com/ to install recovery

Google launcher installed but was not an option to use. When selected in programs it said to change the default on the xperia, but that button was disabled. I installed another launcher apex and only the 2 launchers (xperia and apex) appeared when I hit home. I uninstalled the google launcher, and reinstalled. Still no luck. Used titanium backup to remove and reinstalled then was able to use the google now launcher.

Very responsive. Will give it a try for a few days and report back.

First bug. There is no recovery in built. After rom flash, I reboot or I dont tick reboot I switch off, but there is no recovery installed :( Pls add recovery in built, so We can reboot recovery again easily or I have to make flash procedure whole again :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Dude... I did tell you about that specifically on PM and you still didn't flash the recovery after the ROM? Its not a bug. I haven't added recovery for LB but there are 3 recoveries in the new kernel in the ROM, but its for UB. Its not very hard to flash NUT's Dual Recovery right after the ROM, ya know.

The browser is installed in the data/app folder, so it can be uninstalled. The launcher problem is because of Play Services as it seems. Its the latest one but the GMSCore is 1-2 weeks old and the new launcher is incompatible with it. All you have to do is uninstall Google Play Services and install a new one, or installing an older Launcher will work too like it did for you.

I am still waiting for a detailed report. I have sent the beta version to atleast 50 people but still no one has posted a detailed report.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] tofclaire:
downloading (remaining 2 hours :eek: ) and will post report on my daily use (few hours) this evening or tomorrow
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] cashflow67:
Here, This is first part of report:

-Settings- Battery usage- causes crash

-Cannot login to google play store. It says "There was a problem communicating with google servers"

I cleaned google apps' cache but still I cant login play store I cant use it. You forgot to include google services in Rom or they are out of date.

-Supersu app cannot be reached, for example; I want to autrize auto grant but I cant due to I cant open supersu

-Camera's superior Auto photos are really noises or blurry.

-Recovery cannot install. I installed recovery from pc but after reboot in Ndrutilis it says "unable to read XZDR.prob"

-Express MUI is very smooth. But it started to hang after I installed google play servies.

- There are many xposed modules. Can you write what are they? What are their benefits?

-Xposed framework isn't installable. I pressed install/update but it says "failed to create a backup of /system/bin/app_process
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Most of the issues that you have mentioned are Recovery/Root or Play Services related. Flashing recovery + rooting for LB and installing Play Services will solve them. BTW, I have added play services to the Aroma Installer already. You can install it by selecting Google Settings in the installer menu.

Testing Feedback

Ok, i installed the beta ROM from clean (full wipe before install) and so far here are the issues that i found:

-Issue when setting up a company exchange account (security bootloop). It works only using alternative email app from Aroma (not google mail)

-Issue when trying to add widgets to the lockscreen with widgetlocker (i get message: unfortunately settings has stopped).

-Google service needs to be installed separately from the aroma installer, from here http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-google-play-services-t2795911

I will report on UI fluidity and battery once i am done downloading my previous emails (which takes a lot of memory, bandwidth and battery).
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] robisrobis:
1) Locate

/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml

via some root filemanager

2) replace android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE lines by

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>

3)set permission to

rw-/r–/r–

4) and restart mobile
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Whoever's facing any issues with the Beta Build, Flash iHackers v6.1.5 [Patch]. It should take care of the following issues:

Battery Settings FC

Small Apps issue

Play Services Issue

Root Issue

Recovery for LB

Heating

SD Card Permissions issue

Xposed Issues

Some other minor issues.

Sorry guys, I don't have a device anymore so, its kinda hard to make a completely bugfree ROM without being able to test it myself. Please report back after flashing this. And yeah, you don't have to wipe anything for this patch, you can simply flash it over your working ROM or a new one for that matter. If there are any other actual issues, let me know. :good:

turn off mobile - via HW power off and go to FASTBOOT (or why you cant go to FASTBOOT?)

Test of IHackers v6.1 and 6.1.5patch

My experience after about 24 hours is:

Dirty flashed(wiped system+cache+dalvik cache) on Ihackers 5.2 UB with Ihackers advanced kernel

Issues v6.1 Beta (That I had/have)

-FC calender on startup but disappears after 2-3 fc and calender works fine, have no idea why.

-Do not have SuperSu visually on the phone, but Its there, I have also updated SuperSu to v2.40.

-When opening Viper4android it wanted to update, but get error because of compatible issues with busybox?

-Camera forced shutdown because of overheating after 5-8min of use with AR-functions, this has never acurred on any firmware,kernel etc before.

-Miniapps got FC and notification would not shut down afterwards, needed reboot.

-Battery settings FC

-Stock Browser FC , will not work, have also tried to restore a previous version from v5.2 but no luck..

-OTA update notification wants to "upgrade" to IHackers v5.0, this has now changed to 6.1.5 though ;)

After Patching v6.1.5

-Miniapps is there (but less of them) but they will not open, nothing happens when I try to open them.

-Camera seems fine, I have tested it for a little while and everything seems to be OK. :good:

-Battery settings works fine. :good:

-SuperSu still not visible, is it supposed to be like that? :confused: But works fine ;)

-Stock Browser still not working.

-Viper4android still compatible issues when it wants to upgrade.

-After the patch, primary backup was changed to TwRp, anyone know any reasons to not use PhilzTouch as the primary anymore? My backups made with PhilzTouch does not work in Twrp.

-But The most critical (at least for Me) is the WIFI will not work!, and I cant find out why.... :(

Will keep on testing, but most likely if I cant figure out the WiFi issue I will flash back to the backup I took before the 6.1.5patch. But the OTA updater now wants to upgrade to 6.1.5 is this the same as the patch? or should I just update? :confused:

Keep up the good work, this will be a great Rom when all the small bugs has been "desinfected" :p ;)

My experience after about 3 hours with v6.1 Beta

Started with:

iHacker 5.2. firmware with Rooted and unlocked Bootloader.

Installed:

-Started in TWRP (Factory Reset / Format Data / Wiped Dalvik Cache and Cache)

-Flashed “iHackers v6.1b” check LogFile TXT attachment for chosen options.

-Flashed “Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.0-RELEASE.flashable.zip”

-Reboot

First fast scan Checks Working:

-	Camera Works

-	Xposed Framework installation does work

-	3G connection after adding APN settings

First fast scan Checks Not Working:

-	Build in WebBrowser (others reporting also)

-	Exchange ActiveSync account (others reporting also, it’s the Security Message Loop), when choosing Corporate Account instead of Exchange ActiveSync it does Work ! See Attachment

-	Google Play Store not working, after installing “com.google.android.gms-6.5.85_(1589008-36)-6585036-minAPI9.apk” it works

-	Battery Usage screen does not work (others reporting also)

-	SuperSU not visible

-	WiFi Thethering 3G Connection, unable to get it working, it worked in 5.2. iHacker. DNS does not work on the ‘guest’ devices. So the Sony iHacker 6 isn’t providing DNS to it’s guests.

I’m not the dare devil to install the 6.1.5. Patch, I Hate to loose WiFi. Also the WiFi thetering is mandatory, hope you can fix both in one next hotfix / patch.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] nemesisexsp:
I've been testing this ROM for a while and i got no problem so far.

No FC at all.

My bootloader is unlocked and i didn't install the iHackers kernel (i kept the same that i was using before).

I choose the Google Settings (in aroma) and instaled the patch right after the ROM instalation.

Xposed framework is working as it should. No problem with root, i was able to restore all my apps with Titanium Backup without problems.

I just didn't like the fact that the "H+" symbol isn't above the signal bars (like in the others KK ROM's).
