Not working. Downloaded, installed, even rebooted, no go. :(

Late edit: Uninstalled and re-installed gmail and it's working now.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] cashflow67:
What is difference between aroma and minimal? And download speed is very low. I download it with idm with 55kb/s
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yapanitz:
Thank you so much iHackers! I’ve been waiting for this moment. Just installed via OTA 
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] D_avi_D:
Damn, could you or somebody write or link me with a detailed guide on installing this rom on .157 firmware with totally stock phone..?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] anakdayak:
Any screenshot of the Rom?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sumedha Kapoor:
Strange, I am getting 10.2 MBPS on my PC. Actually 10K+ users are downloading it right now. Maybe thats why the available bandwidth is low. If you are using IDM, increase the number of connections, then you will be able to download at maximum speed.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
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 by NUT)

- reboot to recovery

- wipe data/factory reset

- install ihackers 6.2 ROM (read all steps)

- do not restart!

- install dual recovery by NUT

- power off then reboot your phone.

for unlock boot loaders, flash first the iHackers advance kernel (Can be found in the first thread) before you install the ROM.

hope this helps! :D

Have anybody already figured out how to solve the GREENIFY compatibility issue? I can't see a working solution right now.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
Try again later, there are too many who are downloading the ROM as of now.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] conny005:
I trying for almoust 3 hours, i will try from home, now i am at work
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
haha same here.. just so lucky that i downloaded the zip after the link was posted. :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slayer2333:
For some reason Viper4Android won't install (says wrong busybox). I did a clean install with 6.2 (full wipe before install).
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yapanitz:
Try OTA. Got to download and install in just 30 minutes thru OTA. No issues identified so far except for the Greenify incompatibility error.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] bogdan wst:
Can we flash v6.2 right over v5.2 (locked bootloader / .108 fw)?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
Update first to .157 since it is the based firmware of 6.2. If you choose to update 5.2 to 6.2 with your current FW, you'll have to flash a .157 kernel for your basedband.

Kindly correct me if im wrong for those who are expert on this :D
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] TbbKillerrat:
Also didn't work in 6.1. Think this bug isn't fixed.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slayer2333:
In 6.1 Viper4Android was integrated in the ROM and working well. At the certain time i uninstalled then tried to reinstall V4A but got into this issue and there was no way to make it work after that (busybox issue).

Hope a working solution is found.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sumedha Kapoor:
The greenify and viper are not working properly most probably because of the old busybox. Try installing the latest busybox installer app and install busybox using that app. That should solve all these busybox related issues that you guys are facing.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
I already tried that but it didn't work.

off the topic, i already installed the 6.2 but does not have any recovery pre-loaded to the zip file. since my recovery is not functional, i reflash again the .157 FTF and started installing the 6.2 from fresh.

i'll be posting my review later on after i finish my reinstalling.

EDIT: i didn't yet try to uninstall the busybox the reinstall a updated one, so maybe it will work.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slayer2333:
Tried to install busybox from Playstore but lost access to recovery.

Additional bug detected: Adding Arabic to keyboard languages will give a keyboard with empty buttons.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] D_avi_D:
I managed to install the rom but the font is kind of bugged, half the stock font and the other half is some font I didn't choose, how can I fix this? Also the SU Bin can't be updated...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sumedha Kapoor:
That would be great. Reviews always help in improvement of the rom. About recovery, i think its already included in the rom, but it still wouldn't hurt to flash it after the rom and it may also fix the busybox issue. So, give it a try and let me know if it works for you. Also try if uninstalling busybox and reinstalling busybox works too.

Right now I am testing the nano version and google edition. I have to say, they are just aweeeesome. :victory:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] tofclaire:
Timeshift still doesn't work...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sumedha Kapoor:
Its working fine for me, but I have the v6.1.9. Its most probably because of 4K mod. In v6.2 selecting the option to install 4K in aroma does nothing, it seems that he has replaced the files in the system folder. Maybe [MENTION=5191347]Chocolatetrain[/MENTION] could look into that?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] D_avi_D:
Few bugs so far:

Can't update the SU bin

Fon't bugged

When I drag the camera from the lockscreen the whole UI gets bugged

Timeshift video doesn't work
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
IHackers v6.2

Done with the installation, here's my first glance review; (I installed the ROM from fresh) and this is not yet a detailed review.

1. The ROM don't have a recovery, so just prepare one if needed. (Install the recovery after you've installed the ROM, or else you will loose your recovery.)

2. Nice lockscreen! (Kitkat)

3. It is just me or the settings is like (ALMOST) lollipop based UI?

4. Responsive auto-brightness.

5. Tethering & portable hotspot fixed!

6. Buttery Usage (They (iHackers) still not change it :D) is now working.

7. (Updated) Pre-loaded Sony material app (Movies, Walkman, Album)

8. Bug Report is now working.

9. Camera is not working for the first time you opened it. Manual mode front-facing camera is functional, but when i change it to rear camera, it's not working anymore.

10. 4k video and timeshift video is not functioning and its force closing after you press the stop. But when i restarted the devices, its now working again. I just notice that when i lowlight + indoor condition, the timeshift video's quality is a little bit darkish green. I'll try using it tomorrow in outdoor condition with better lighting. Also, the timeshift still not fixed (It doesn't shows the editing after you've recorded a video.)

11. Viper was removed i guessed? i was not able to find it in the settings>sound>sound effects.

12. I dont notice any over heating after i test the cameras and using the phone for about 15 mins. i'll post tomorrow night (Philippine Time) my Buttery Usage from full-charged. :D

13. Recovery doesn't work anymore. I installed one before i installed the 6.2. i tried to reformat again the device then reinstall the recovery by windows, but i still not got my recovery working. my root permission so as the superSU app and the sony apps. :(

Since i lost my recovery, root permissions, though the ROM is still fully functional, i just re-flash again the .157 FTF to start fresh again. This time, i installed the flashable recovery by NUT after i installed the 6.2 and everything works again.

That's for now!

Hackers v6.2 [Nano] and iHackers v6.2 [Google Edition] Links sent to the Beta Testers. Everyone who received the links, please post a detailed review, feedback and reports on the thread after testing them.

Cheers

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] cashflow67:
Thanks for the link. I want to ask you what is the difference between nano and you released 6.2 aroma? Can you explain? Now I'm using 6.2 aroma. What have you streamlined in nano?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Sumedha Kapoor:
Have a look at this and this. I think this would give you an idea, what its all about.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:
i want a link with 6.2
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] walkwitmeinhel:
Using mini version its awesome cheers
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Botandroid:
I installed the V6.2 aroma and it's good! The only that not functioning with perfection is the timeshift recording, only record and don't appear the option to cut the video and are same effect apps don't working too. I'm in locked boot. Thanks IHackers!

After one reboot the camera apps work fine, only the video timeshift don't work...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gaseoso:
After trying the 6.2: I've flashed over 6.1.7, Al started I realized that I lost the settings (I've installed directly from the 6.1.7 and fixed) Waking've noticed a bug in the notification bar Restarting it is gone, it goes very smoothly and looks great with the style L, 4K camera works perfectly, and other app whatsapp going well too. Hoping to get home to try the google !!!!

Is viper4droid working for you ?

What install did you do (clean/dirty) ?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
iHackers v6.2 Screen Shots

There are some changes with the system's UI including the icons and the smooth transitions like swiping at the end of the menu. But overall, the ROM is focused on stability, battery life and the smooth performance.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] cashflow67:
I want to know, if I install nano version, It will be include camera tweaks? Because I dont use any sony and google applications except for google play store-services and in sony apps album,walkman and movies. Whats new, sony select, face unlock, screen mirroring, etc. I dont use the apps like that.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
about the viper, its already removed from the 6.2 due to issues with the busybox. if you like the app, maybe you can request to iHackers on how to port it to your phone.

on installing, i just start fresh. Wipe/Format data and factory reset, then install the ROM then the flashable recovery from NUT.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Here's the link for iHackers v6.2.1 [Patch]. Let me know if this helps, I will push it via OTA too. Flash it right after the ROM. This patch should take care of the following things:

Timeshift Issue

Recovery for LB

Busybox Issue (Maybe)

A few cosmetic changes
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slayer2333:
Just to confirm with the new patch:

[*]Timeshift Issue: Now takes videos at 120 fps

[*]Recovery for LB : Yes fixed

[*]Busybox Issue (Maybe) : Not fixed, still busybox failure

[*]A few cosmetic changes : Did not check

Arabic characters: Still missing
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
can you try to uninstall the busybox then install it again?.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] slayer2333:
Can you please let me know how i can uninstall the embedded one ?

After that, do i install the one on playstore or a custom one ?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:
i will test and report /////
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] cashflow67:
In nano version google play services are not include. It is very good that there isnt any bloatware but somethings are really lack like performance control, xposed and other a few stuff. I used 6.2 nano today three hours by using almost everything. There is no recovery in it. I flashed recovery before reboot after I flashed rom. I will now downloading 6.2.1 patch. I will try if it solves problems as you did. But I noticed something on camera indoor photos, they look very blurry and noisy even if I use aouto or manueal 100 iso :( And there is another problem why I should be forced to use philz recovery? I want to use twrp but in recovery app (ndr utilis) there is n option to switch twrp. it says unable to read xzdr.prop
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Botandroid:
I tested the V6.2.1 and the only mistake I had, still have, is the timeshift recording videos problem. Records only in 120fps. I noticed that the patch contains a apk "burst timeshift" and no "timeshift video", or do both the same?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
Hi guys! just want to share my battery life for today! i started using this phone from full change @ 10am, and im planning to not charge my phone until tomorrow to test its battery life.

I use this phone for some couple of games, listen to music and browse the FB. i try next with a heavy gaming and ill post the battery status tom.

Great!! You are BL/UL, and how settings in performance control???
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] bihslk:
1 day to download the rom? Come on man fix the DL link
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] babyboy3265:
Really?

For the least updated, and most anticipated ROM in the forum, it's somewhat undone...

Attack me as much as you want for saying this, but the DL speed is around 20kb/s, there are no installation instructions for the 6.2, and it needs a patch that doesn't fix what it is supposed to... And please do not say that this is for free and the developers are busy people, and etc. We all area aware of that and thankful for the work, however when you take so long to release something, at least make it right.

Maybe, just maybe it should have been tested by the developers once or twice before being posted?...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] cashflow67:
Take it easy mate. Do you know that developers have the phone itself? or they are busy people? Once upon a time I was complaining like you, I was thinking as you did, but then I noticed this is a hobby thing and they dont have any obligation. At the same time they have private life. Never forget this!! If you want a really stable and frequently updated rom, go an flash stock ROM.

Hey ihackers. Check your 6.2 mini download link. on OP it is written 6.2mini but when I open the download page it says 5.2 mini.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:

It will release anytime soon. :) i was able to talk to someone in the iHackers and she will release it once the ROM is stable.

It will be updated anytime soon bro, including the changelogs. Its just show the thread is updated, thought you have to look for the download link for the meantime.

Im in the LB. Perf Control, i just set the multicore on and leave the governor to ondemand. I'll still try to play with the govs after i tested the battery life without any changes from the performance control.(well except for the multicore)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] chitose_ndy:
Patience guys, maybe OP is still not finished with testing, and the other users are testing the update also.

I believe OP will clean up things on the first page after everything inside the ROM (the update) is already 99.99% finished.

And about instructions, u can just follow the old instructions, the only thing that make difference, is that its not a must to wipe data if ur installing updates.

But its always better (and recommended) to always always always back up ur data before updating, and wipe the data before installing any update.

Wiping the data (clean instal) is your own choice.

But dont blame anyone if somethings not working because u didnt do a clean instal.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] yoorie016:
does anyone is having issues while you are calling? i notice that the the proximity is not properly working, although when i cover the prox, then it darkens the screen but its still functional and you can touch everything while calling.

Setting up the nano version now. Need to install all my goodies.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
is nano version same as minimal version or they are different?

If not from where can i get the nano rom link?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] mikailmohammed:
Nano version Beta test:

The rom itself installs normal. It is snappy. It can be used as a everyday driver which i am going to use as now. Everything WORKS. 4k, timeshift have no issues for me.

Issues:

On install you need to reinstall the google play services.

AOSP lockscreen is bugged ( would really like to go back to stock now but dont know how to lol.) This is the only issue i face using the rom and well that was my choice. Stick to stock

AOSP browser kept crashing so just disabled that.

I can't comment on battery life as yet. I am using trinity kernel v3.2. the phone is getting a bit warm but i guess it's because i am constantly on it right now and i may have to tweak my settings a bit. I have not played any games as yet as well. Will do that in work tomorrow.

Great Rom!!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] :
Hey if its ok, can you give me link to nano version to test it
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Dude you mentally depressed or something? It clearly seems to me that you are.

Regarding download speed, can't you use some download manager that supports more connections? Do you have any idea how many people are download this ROM even at this time? I have a very costly VPS on which I upload my ROMs and still its not enough. If you want better bandwidth why don't you donate a little so that I could upgrade my bandwidth or get a dedicated server? If you don't want to, then stop crying about it, because this is all that I can spend out of my own pocket for the ROMs I upload. If you can't then you have no right to cry about it.

Installation instruction? Seriously? Like its the first time you are installing any of my ROMs? Dude, all you have to do is go to the recovery and flash the ROM, as simple as that. Do you know what recovery is? And do you know how to flash the ROM? If you know then go the the recovery, flash the ROM and STFU. And yeah, regarding why instructions haven't been updated yet, isn't it obvious? I am waiting for the more experienced users (not the giant noobs and crybabies like you) to post detailed reviews on all the versions so that I can make a detailed installation tutorial that would be enough for noobs like you.

The patch does what its supposed to. There's no need for a patch, this ROM is already as bugfree and close to perfection as it gets. And by the way, I haven't released the patch yet, I just put it out for a few regular people who could verify what I have in my mind solves the "minor" issues that are still unresolved in the ROM. Without a phone in my hand can't you even imagine the fact, that its only guesswork on my end and the only problem that's left now is the busybox issue, that I will easily resolve when I get my hands on the phone. Yes, I did take long to release the ROM because I didn't have a working phone to do the testing and obviously I won't release something that would mess someone's phone and btw, did make it right. If you want a ROM thats even better, then why don't you donate something so that I could fix my phone, end the guesswork and test and debug the ROMs myself like I did earlier, before releasing it?

You know ungrateful people like you are the reason why developers lose all fun in releasing their work and decide to stop it. Without having a phone I did manage to make a ROM which I can guarantee is one of my best works and all this trouble I went through was only out of the respect and appreciation for the other users who have been using my ROMs and have always been supportive.

Don't post anything in reply to this post or anything else ever on this thread either. I am sick of people like you littering on my thread. No one is forcing you to install my ROM if you don't like it. This is a development thread, if you want to cry about it go somewhere else.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
If you want to install something thats removed from nano version, like stock camera, lockscreen, google play services etc, you should install the Addons Pack after the ROM and select whatever you want to install in the Aroma Installer. I am still waiting for a detailed review on the Nano Version and the Google Edition. Thanks for the report man. :good:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] mikailmohammed:
Tomorrow i will post more don't worry.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] iHackers:
Come on man, just install a download manager that supports more connections. Like ADM for phone and IDM for PC.

Mate, its v6.2. Don't worry about it. It was just a minor string error in the database, I updated the link but forgot to update the name string in the database. Sorry about that. Its fixed now.

Thanks mate. Now I can see how my ROM looks on a phone. I made a lot of UI Modifications right before releasing the ROM and I didn't know how they would look on the phone yet. I am glad that they look awesome. Now it feels like you have given eyes to a blind man, lol :D

I will release the Nano Version and the Google Edition soon. I am just waiting for some detailed reviews and reports from the beta team. If you can't wait let me know, I will drop a link in your inbox. :p

Yup please send me the link.

Battery Performance

Hi Everyone!

Just want to share my battery performance as of today. i'l fully changed my phone yesterday @ 10AM, then after that, i didn't plugged my phone to charge a bit. (See the attached files, one 3:36 PM yesterday and 1:09 PM today).

What i do to my phone yesterday until today, was a couple of games for 15 mins each (I tested some games like Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, Riptide GP2, Tap Titans and 4 more games), i was also using the phone while viewing some replies here, listen to music for about 2 hours while browsing the web. But i still have 28% more battery and i think, even i do this routine until tomorrow, it may still have a couple of juice left for the installation of NANO tom. :D

I'll post my review with the settings and set-ups that I've used by tomorrow night. Though it may not be detailed just like some beta testers here, i'll still do my best to provide a good one :D
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] emccccc:
Can I see the details regarding the screen-on time? Thanks!
