Thanks for your back to stock patch.

You have mixed some concept about the camera. It's not any better on z2 cam though it really got Sony a bit more optimized. But 4.4.4 of our .108 is really better this time and because they got delay to release 4.4.4 on z2.

What you see z2 cam better is just because they did quality mod in it. If you do the quality mod in stock .108 then should be no different at all. Chocolatetrain's mod(actually is me to recommend them to install Chocolatetrain's mod in another thread, not he told me about this mod) is a lot better because more files rebased on .108, not purely from 4.4.2 but still there are some things based on 4.4.2 from z2 to do the 4K recording and TimeShift video and may affect the whole stability but currently this is already the best and only way for us to achieve 4K and TimeShift on .108.

Upgrade to 4.4.4 from 4.4.2 indeed you will need factory reset and setup from beginning, otherwise there are lots of guys who got lots of problem in many aspect. I've seem many of such reports on forum in every country. But if guys willing to start from scratch, .108 in general is real better than .757 though there is no perfect rom in the world.

I had black screen problem even on stock 4.4.4 and i just can't make him do that on that moded camera;)

Any news for Trackid fix dev?Tnx alot
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] TheEndHK:
Any new stuffs and idea on ev9?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] jfxperias:
For Track id I haven't idea, I will try to fix this if it's a worry from my rom, of course... But I look the comments from this app playstore... Il work better on other device that the Sony device... Where is the logique???
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] odl:
does stamina icon (+) work for you in 8.1? for me it doesn't appear after I enable Stamina mode (without charging), no matter what I chose in personalisatoin/status bar icons settings. so I'd like to know if it is ROM bug or I messed up something while dirty flashing it over v7.. ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] aigaming:
Yeah i'am also trying to find a clue or fix,verry strange logic but it's the same for sony camera(hardware) work's better on apple and samsung(they use sony camera) becouse of better software optimisation's they implemented :(
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] jfxperias:
No, I will correct the little default, settings banner, track id, some black apps, and add some black apps...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] TheEndHK:
The camera on 4.4.4 is not perfect, some old bugs do still existed but the frequent to happen decreased. Anyway, if you meet problems try factory reset because this is almost a must to upgrade to .108 from .759 and some mods and tweaks may conflict with 4.4.4 because the OS is still new.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] jfxperias:
It works normaly for me
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] jfxperias:
Honestly, I have try this night after have planted my computer... In night situation, the Z2 cam with 4.4.2 drivers, works better than stock with good drivers 4.4.4... Also I take lot of photos, and Z2 cam have not bugs...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] chivi:
Is your rom 8.1 equipped with Z1 & Z1c 7th Edition z2 Camera?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] TheEndHK:
Camera is the other thing. Sony does cut some cost in this area while other companies put much money in it to against Sony and they do very successful.

Though Sony said they've used 27mm Glens but the quality from HTC/Nokia/Samsung 28mm lens is still better. Apple used a bit narrow FoV lens on ip5/5s for better quality and lower cost but the general result is superior.

The dedicated ISP chip on HTC, Samsung and Apple is much better than Sony's Bionz for mobile. And the general software optimization on HTC, Samsung, Apple, Nokia is also better than Sony.

HTC, LG and Samsung camera is also much more easier to mod on xda while Sony is almost the most difficult one to do quality mod. I've never seen one who real success modded the jpeg quantizer table on Sony.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] aigaming:
Well our phone makes great day photos but lacks nighties but to be honest it's not much better on 5s even;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] TheEndHK:
This phone has a hard time to focus but details from a 1/2.3 sensor is there. If it get the focus right, it can be out performed other phone but just it is too hard to be predictable.

---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

If you test it purely on a Z2, then it is another story. Since the kernel code in Z2 should be more optimized for the camera but we can't port it. And we also don't know if anythings missed to port in system. But are you using a Z2?

I do read all posts on all three 4K and timeshift mod threads. Using the old 4K mod(4K-HFRv1.3 based on z2 4.4.2) on our 4.4.4, it won't be better but worse than our stock .108 camera. There are already many guys reported. Anyway, this is not a real important problem I know your rom attempt to be a All-in-One rom and Chocolatetrain's mod already done the best.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] aigaming:
I can put a quality in other plan as long as there are no sudden black screens and freezes on camera which makes our fast phone look cheap in hands of peple using the camera;)'

They often take my phone to take pic's couse of 20mp cam(lol) and then baaam "why can't i press anything","why is camera freezed etc" :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Pepecillo:
I just install your ROM and all OK!

But........................ how can change the RED for GREEN?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] aigaming:
Ok i can report that no app for song recognition is working(shazam,soundhound) and it's def a problem in the rom something is frozen of missing that all apps use;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] alex_hk90:
Thank you for all the updates - it's appreciated. :)

I have noticed what might be another issue: the MHL (USB to HDMI out) doesn't work for me on this ROM - can anyone else check this?

I'll revert to stock 108 to see if it's just a problem with my MHL cable (but it was working last week with a previous 757 ROM, and the HDMI in works fine on the TV with a different input).

EDIT: MHL working fine with stock 108 (the RU version on these forums) - will try again with new KitSlim Evo when it's ready and report back.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Pepecillo:
Yes! Soundhound can't hear nothing!

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] thermalboyz:
Was reading this ROM and am interested to Flash it.

From 4.4.2 Rom (.757) + DoomKernel V21

Unlocked Bootloader + Rooted

Just to make sure I got it right first before going to 4.4.4 -

1) Do i need to flash .108 ftf first (To upgrade the FW/Baseband) via Fastboot? then recovery, ROM, Kernel, then SU.

2) Does the kernel .img in OPs have Recovery (or will i lost my Recovery from .757)

3) Where to get TWRP/CWM .img Recovery for .108?

I read somewhere that Philz XZDR causes boot loop or Stuck Sony logo. so, am confuse which recovery to use.

Thanks and appreciated.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] TheEndHK:
Yes, your guess is all corrected. I did it yesterday upgraded to 4.4.4 from another rom and wrote a full guide for another person on this board like you.

http://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/help/lb757-how-to-update-to-rooted-108-t2822957

You just need to follow my guide #5 step by step and you are good to go.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] odl:
it's not just about song recognition. any app which uses sound recording doesn't work (except speach recognition). recording in notes app is not possible as well.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] TheEndHK:
NSA will hate jfxperias soon because they can't record our sound.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] odl:
for fixing sound recording and trackID - just put previous version of mixer_paths.xml (from v7) into the system\etc\ folder and set permissions rw-r-r, reboot - problem solved ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] TheEndHK:
Really thanks. Can you attach the mixer_paths.xml here? Lazy to download the full rom.

Plus I found the FullGAPPS package missed the File commander from Sony and no any file manager at all. It's weird that it seems the SlimGAPPS got File commander if my memory no wrong.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] odl:
you can download this mod http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2639862 and select to revert to stock with everything in aroma - it will fix it as well without need for copy and setting permisions.

edit:

this is missing in modded XML file (line 1023):

What about My Xperia? I cant find it after install evo 8 i dont had previous versions. Is it implemented to the rom?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] thermalboyz:
Thanks for your guidance, fully clean flash 4.4.4 (108). May I ask do you flash the kernel in Ops after ROM, reason ask was I get Phil Recovery first then flash the kernel in Ops then lost my recovery. So, went back and boot.img Phil Recovery. Also, what the difference between Phil IMG and OPs IMG?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] TheEndHK:
I don't know what's the different, I never flash the OP IMG. You don't have to flash OP IMG with my method, our stock kernel and that recovery also works in EVO8.1.

Curious date

Curious date: battery life on evo 8.1 is really good. its been 48 hours with 3 hours screen on/ normal use+calls+some games and music, and i still have 30% of battery.

So guys i really recommend this rom if u want to explote your z1 compact ahaha.

btw: any news about changelog of evo 9?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] TheEndHK:
I was using EVO8.1 all day yesterday. I think the battery and temp. of the phone is almost same as in 4.4.2, it should have slightly improved but the improvement is so small and not that noticeable.

The major improvement on 4.4.4 comes from camera with Chocolatetrain mod cam. The focus is better now, finally acceptable though still not yet perfect like Iphone/HTC/Samsung. Color is also tuned up a little bit for eye catching but actually I more prefer the old natural color but now is more similar to Iphone and Samsung style.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] aigaming:
True, but like you said,,it still doesn't have all 4.4.4 libs and knows to "black screen" opposite to our original 4.4.4 cam which is verry stable;)

I hope Chocolatetrain updates his mod to 4.4.4 version ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] AndroidInsanity:
Is their anyway to speed up the camera? I get black screen for a while and occasionally I get camera not available. But clearing camera data fixes that
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] OsoAlgo:
Well it keeps happening to me, crashes at least once every time i play it, i live in constant fear my high score won't be saved :p

I've used this rom for about a week and i'm really impressed how stable and battery friendly it is.

I'm really thankful for your amazing job with this rom!

Altho i've noticed some minor issues.

I'm not sure the cause of them but i'll list them:

1. When reciving a call, screen turns off when i put it near my ear but it still registers touches. (suddenly it's on speaker or putting call on hold)

2. Auto-rotate on. Now tilt screen to landscape and turn auto-rotate off. It will stay on landscape and won't return to normal even when holding phone vertically. (not really a problem but didn't happen on stok)

3. Used GPS for 30 minutes and it will stay active even after i force close it. Closing every possible location service didn' help. See pictures below. (could be sony problem cause i had it on stock too) Only reboot fixes it so far.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Schlengge:
1. Tested on my phone. Did NOT happen to me... Seems to be caused by some other module than the ROM.

2. How is this mentionable? I mean... The reason behind Auto rotate off is that it doesnt rotate right? :P

3. Can also NOT confirm. Im navigating a lot with my phone and never had GPS issues.

Strange that you experience these problems while it seems fine on my phone...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] adryanodej:

here is few : Much greater displayI(PS), camera is a lil bit better than z1, battery life is better, and i didn`t like such a big phone, the 5 inch screen was ok .. but the bezzels are to big, didn`t look nice ..still have z1 in my family, i gave it to my brother to play with it :)) sorry for my english

Makes sure you have Rom/Gaaps/Kernel on you SD card

First wipe cache/dalvik/system (but don't restart)

You should wipe data as well as it may well cause problems coming from older firmware

Install Rom

Install Gapps

Do not flash dual recovery

Power cycle back to recovery and flash kernel
