Posting in the Apps section, hoping this will get some visibility.

I am anxious to find a version of Spotify that will work. I tried the standard version from the the Play store and also the tablet version for the Kindle Fire, but both launch to wrong orientation (sideways) and the remote doesn't work to move around the menu buttons.

Opening this thread up for continued development discussion on this.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] 2fastkuztoms:
There's some apps that fix the orientation problem, and you can try a mouse to navigate if the remote doesn't, i'm not a the house right now so I cant try it, i will try it later.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Ruinerror:
Fixed the orientation issue. It takes decompiling the APK (used apktool for that) then removing any android:screenOrientation="portrait" attributes from the AndroidManifest.xml file. For good measure, I also commented out any calls to setOrientation(I)V in the smali files (not sure that's required for the Spofity app, but found I needed to do disable setRequestedOrientation(I)V in other apps for the FireTV)

Unfortunately, apktool doesn't want to recompile the Spotify resources cleanly for the builds I was using, but read through the errors it throws and just clean up the offending lines. I used an attached keyboard/mouse to login, but now I just use the Amazon remote to click through things on my playlists (on some of the screens, it helps to push the the left before scrolling up or down). If you hit the search box, the on screen keyboard shows up... so while it's not ideal, you can get by with the standard remote.

I've posted a build if you want to try it out:

You could invest in a "Audioquest Dragonfly" USB-Soundcard, its known to work with many smartphones out there (SGS3,Note2...and so on).

It should make an extreme difference, as its basicly a high-end soundcard in a usb-stick formfactor.

I personally think the Xperia-Z Audioperformance with the default Soundcard is pretty crappy, i got a Dragonfly myself tbh. and its worth every penny (cost between 100-150$)

Sadly no english-speaking video out here, but just for the looks of it, check it out.

It seems to work out of the box with the Xperia-Z too.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noob_coder:
Hi everybody... I have purchased Xperia Z1 Compact few day ago and this is my first ever experience with any SONY SMARTPHONE device in this Android era. Before this I had Galaxy SIII and I learnt how to Root, Flash, Custom OS, and Reseting Counter on my own through different sources youtube videos. But regarding my sony xperia z1 compact device, I have been searching for the last 3 consecutive days on how to ROOT and get CWM on my device but all i get in return is total crap. I know about the official Sony Way of Unblocking the bootloader but then again I dont want SONY to know that I tinkered around with their device in the form of Unblocking and/or Rooting. There is 1 website which demonstrate how to UNLOCK BOOTLOADER in 2 different ways. 1- Official. 2-Unofficial. The unofficial way is very easy through FLASHTOOL but my device is running 4.4.2 kitkat and yesterday I upgraded to even more latest 4.4.2 build number 14.3.A.0.757. I think flashtool is not yet compatible with the 4.4.2 line for UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER in UNOFFICIAL WAY. When i recieved my device it was running on Android 4.3. So please kindly tell me how I can UNLOCK the BOOTLOADER in unofficial way and also root the device. I dont want any suggestions regarding OFFICIAL WAY UNLOCKING. :confused::confused::(

Oh yes one more thing. If i want my regional dedicated Android FTF file, from where I can get one. My location is SAUDI ARABIA.

Samsung phones have the best solution for providing regional dedicated OS files through samfirm ware, but about sony I have no clue.

Kindly help..... Thanks to all in advance. Waiting eagerly. I want to restore my apps and data which run on ROOTED device.

Regards.:good:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theprince1991:
I was just wondering why you didn't want Sony to know that you unlocked your bootloader? If it's a warranty concern then when you send it back just relock the bootloader. I did that with my XPERIA Z when I needed to get it repaired and there was no problems at all.

You mentioned you want to restore your apps that need to run on rooted devices... You only need to unlock the bootloader IF you want to use a custom kernel. For example if you want to use DoomLords kernel then you need to have your bootloader unlocked or if you want to flash CyanogenMod ROM to your phone you need to unlock your bootloader (because it flashes a custom kernel to your phone as well)

If you ONLY want to use apps that need root then I suggest you follow this guide which has worked for me:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2634196

About region FTF's, the ONLY difference as far as I know are the apps that come bundled with it. I've flashed many FTF's from many countries and the only difference between them is the bundled apps.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noob_coder:
Oh really? and how will I relock the bootloader then as I dont know the whole process..... and you mean I just need the ROOT access for my apps and not the UNLOCKING OF THE BOOTLOADER in order for the ROOT ACCESS to work... But many websites and tutorials were saying that you must first have to UNLOCK the BOOTLOADER.... and also how can I be so sure that different region TFT will work on my phone. I once saw RUSSIAN 4.1.2 on GALAXY S3 in my friend's phone and it was working fine except we didn't know RUSSIAN LANGUAGE.

So can you please guide me all the way on ROOTING and then also RELOCKING the BOOTLOADER.

Many thanks.:cowboy::o

Yeah you JUST need root access, there is no need to unlock the bootloader for root access. You definitely do not need to unlock the bootloader. I don't want to unlock the bootloader because on my old XPERIA device when I unlocked the bootloader I lost BRAVIA engine.

Yeah, the default language might be different but when you start your XPERIA for the first time it will ask you what language you want. From this menu you can pick English, Arabic etc...

If you don't want to flash custom ROMs then you don't need to unlock the bootloader. If you just need root access then just follow this article (It'll teach you EVERYTHING you need to know):

[Zooper Widget General] MrBiggzz:
Hi!

When my phone is on LTE I notice that the NCSIGN is a positive number when it should be negative. When I turn off LTE and 3G comes on it goes to its correct negative number. NCSIG will report 99 when on LTE.

I can do this in tasker but what good are the functions in Zooper if you have to go outside to get information for something it already provides?

Is there a work around for this? Without getting into a fairly lengthy if .. then statement. Cause then I'd have to be checking whether or not the phone is in LTE or not. /sigh

Side question: Is there a function that will translate what NCCONN or NCCONNS is to its respective 2G,3G,3G-HSPA,4G-WiMax,4G or 4G-LTE laymen terms? Like EVDOrA or Ev as the short version of it goes is one of the 3G's. This might have to be a lengthy if .. then statement but it would be useful!

[Zooper Widget General] Scotty1:
Several others have posted concerning a similar problem. I posted about it a week ago in this thread, where I proposed that the problem is that Zooper pulls incorrect info when the phone is on LTE (it pulls the RSSI value, instead of the RSRP value). You can try the workarounds suggested above (YMMV) but it'd be nice to have LTE working in a straightforward manner (3G works fine)
[Zooper Widget General] MrBiggzz:
Tasker incorrectly report LTE cell signal as well ( %CELLSIG ).
[Zooper Widget General] brizey:
So I have this partially figured out.

NOTE: This exact command will liklely not work on your phone. I have a Verizon S4 running Carbon, so CM internals.)

Have tasker run this shell command as root:

dumpsys telephony.registry | grep 'SignalStrength:' | cut -d " " -f 12

and store the results in a variable, then load the variable upon being set to a Zooper variable.

You will have to run the command without piping to cut to see all the output to figure out which field is your dBm.

For my phone, the 12th field in the signal strength line in the dump is the signal strength in dBm as reported by the ROM. (By the way, you can see where Zooper gets it's erroneous 99 value in the the output of the grep before the cut command.) So I can get Zooper to report dBm correctly on LTE, and ASU (its just dBm +140 for LTE).

BUT...

You have to run the dumpsys to get the variable in tasker to change. You can set it to run every two minutes at the most in tasker. Or make it on demand for Zooper, but I have not come up with a way to make it real time. And I am sure this will crush the battery if it runs every 2 minutes all day. But one step closer to getting Zooper to correctly report dBm. My guess is you need a custom API to do it right unless Google standardizes things.

SuperSU isn't a ROM. It's an app. You need to install a ROM to get the device booting, especially if you fully wiped everything.

P.S. Also, that's an ancient version of SuperSU. It's up to version 1.94 now. But you shouldn't need that anyway, as most custom ROMs are already rooted.

After this it cycles from black screen to yellow EVO 4G/white background and repeat...

I've checked the MD5s on all the files I've used.

This is the only recovery I could find that wood work.

I saw some mention of a smelkus version and I tried those but it looks like they all had a ROM built in or something. When I tried them it would say parsing and not get any further.

I looked for a TWRP but couldn't find one for and EVO 4G supersonic on their website. I see you have TWRP 2.7.0.6 and when I do a search of this all I see is an unofficial version for an HTC One.

I didn't find a Clockworkmod when I checked earlier, but, I checked again just now and found recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.1-supersonic.img.

I'll give that a try or maybe you have another suggestion.
