Trouble

Hi! I dont install latest PA on Z1C, when i install via recovery with all wipes my phone dont starting after reboot: screen dont light and when i hold power key its vibrate and nothing any more :( I install PA with latest dualrecovery (tryed TWRP and CWM), install kernel from zip and try Pimped Kernel...

Now stay on official .108 Sony firmware

Any idea?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
Are you sure your device have an unlocked bootloader?? because I tested the latest build, it is working fine,

and your description applies on locked bootloader devices when you change their kernel to a custom one.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] jenz25:
I can confirm that latest build is working fine.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] bawbaw82:
Hi,

How to update my 4.4-RC2 to 4.42 without delete all my data ?

Thank you
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
Just flash it through recovery, then wipe cache and dalvik cache then reboot.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] c37:
So apparently I am the only one with slightly broken brightness controls...

I just wanted to note that I did a completely clean flash of Cyanogenmod 11 nightly-20140705 a few days ago and the issue is the same there.

But with CM's auto-brightness calibration settings (which seem to be missing on PA), I could restore a reasonable behavior by increasing all presets by about 20 percentage points.

I still haven't found the cause of the problem. If anyone here does have similar problems after all, please write here or PM me.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
I have decided to compile Paranoid Remix and post it here once they are done updating sources to PA 4.42

For more info see the Second Post

I hope you'll find that in Paranoid Remix ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] fmaskarin:
I sold my LG G2 for Z1C and was running Paranoid Android on both devices and can say that in my use on this phone it performes a bit better and it was great on g2!

Only complain is battery life for now. My girlfrends Z1C in on stok 4.4.4. and has much better battery life. I get about 3,5h SOC and she can get 6.

Other than that this is the best experience on the mobile device I ever had.

Thanks :)

Paranoid Remix (Paranoid Android) team are planning to change their base to AOSP!! which makes it an independent ROM, though they'll keep PA features!!!

will wait and see what will they come up with next!! for more info, see their post here: https://plus.google.com/104248603863401632173/posts/hRBS5ChhCUe
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] jenz25:
Wow! I'm excited for remix. :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] korpenkraxar:
How tightly linked is the PA userland to the CM kernel? Can I use PA with the stock kernel?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] jenz25:
No, kernels for sony-based ROMs don't work with AOSP/CM nased ROMs.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] CoolDevelopment:
Thanks, this rom is really great. I hope you can get it merged into aospa-legacy sources
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
I'm working on that, maybe I'll push my sources tomorrow, and will see if they accept them or not :D

if they do, we will get an official builds of Paranoid soon:laugh:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] CoolDevelopment:
Oh nice

I hope they will continue porting hybrid engine soon
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
I have started a pull request to merge amami device support into PA sources, hope they'll accept them,

and by that, we shall start receiving official builds and OTA:D:D

You can keep track on this pull request status by going here: github.com/AOSPA-legacy/android_vendor_pa/pull/63

Also the new Paranoid Android 4.5-Alpha1 is up and here is the download link:

pa_amami-4.5-Alpha1-20140718.zip - 212.92 MB

Note that this is a very early alpha 4.5 build, it isn't ready for daily use yet, it was released mostly to test the new features

which the new recent apps attached down below is a major one of them!!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
AAAAnd the pull request is merged :cowboy: https://github.com/AOSPA-legacy/android_vendor_pa/commit/a13fb38cd379e11eb64474ccad57a7f3195c94e7

Next version should be official:D
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] jenz25:
Wow thanks, man! You're great!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] SuperHanss:
I accepted the pull request and have forked your device tree into Legacy:

https://github.com/AOSPA-legacy/android_device_sony_amami

You have full access to this device tree so you can push directly to it :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] korpenkraxar:
Great!

Wow! Fantastic development!

Does anyone have an idea about what it takes to bring the main camera sensor driver up to speed with that included in the stock ROMs? The difference in quality between the two is the only advantage I can see to SONYs version of Android.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
All right, now everything is set up the way it should, device tree, OTA , and of course many thanks go to SuperHanss

Now after the first official build, we should be able to update to next build through OTA:cool:

I don't think that is possible at the moment..
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] BlackDex:
Hello,

I bought a Xperia Z1C yesterday, and installed this ROM, which looks very very nice.

I First had a HTC Sensation with SultanXDA's ROM. A feature which i liked is the brightness control via the statusbar.

It looks like that this isn't available in this ROM, or am i missing some settings, since i have looked at all the settings i can find.

So am i missing something, and if not, is it possible to have this added :) It is in the CM if i'm correct.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] fmaskarin:
You are not missing anything. There is no status bar brightness control in paranoidandroid.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Redstarr1:
That's not a PA feature at this time. You could add it with Xposed or use a different ROM by Omar that does have brightness control in the status bar (like Carbon).

I also bought a Z1C this weekend, but I'm sticking with stock for the first few weeks, I want to know at least what the stock firmware is capable of before moving on to AOSP.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] CoolDevelopment:
PA 4.5A2 is up
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] fmaskarin:
Do I need a clean instal if coming from 4.44 build and want 4.5 alpha?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
Nope, Just tested it on my phone, flashed PA alpha2 on PA 4.44 (did a clean cache before and wipe dalvik after) and everything is working fine,

but note that it is still alpha, so not really useful if you want it for daily use.

I also linked to Alpha builds for who ever is interested in testing the new features.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] fmaskarin:
I did a clean instal and it is working fine for now... Still setting it up... New recents are awsome :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] moesus:
I am loving this ROM!! OTA updates are just fantastic!! :victory: Just a quick question: When I press the camera hardware button (screen on or off) the app doesn't open automatically. The button does work for taking pictures though. Can anyone confirm this and if so, is there a way to launch the camera by pressing the button? :good:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] fmaskarin:
As far as I know there is no way to launch the camera by pressing the camera button. I have also been searching for this in settings but you can just set camera button to wake the screen. It woul be cool that camera button takes you strait into the camera :)

Hope developer can do something about this ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] korpenkraxar:
NFC

Hi all!

I am really enjoying this ROM but I have problems disabling NFC. It does not stay off and drains quite a bit of battery. Any ideas?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] jenz25:
Hi, if you aren't really using NFC, you can mount system, go to system/app then delete nfc.apk. then reboot.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] uristic:
Hi guys, I have locked bootloader and I'm really considering unlocking it to install this ROM as it looks great, but I read that there were some problems with battery life, sound and camera quality... I'd be glad if someone from the last version shares his experiences with these matters.. is the ROM stable and are all functions working?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] korpenkraxar:
PA and this ROM is very lean, smooth and stable. It can be themed with for instance Flux to look and feel great. I have had problems with the NFC service draining the battery but removing the Nfc.apk package solved that issue. The only problem imho is the high noise levels in photos, an issue which is shared with all Z1c ROMs using the CM kernel as far as I know. Highly recommended if you do not use the camera much :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Rydsmith:
I don't know if it's just me, but since the last OTA update I have been getting multiple (three in less than 30 minutes style) random reboots and lock ups.

Has this happened to anyone else?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
What are you talking about? There shouldn't be any OTA now,

Only one official build has been released, meaning no one should get any OTA updates until the next official release!!

Sent From My Black Xperia Z1 Compact
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Rydsmith:
I received a Paranoid OTA update about three days ago that put it from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 that was released 07/22/14.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
first Official OTA update hasn't arrived yet, so whatever OTA you have installed is weird :p

anyway whatever it did, official OTA shouldn't have any affects like you mentioned.

to solve it, please download the first official release and do a clean install, then you can safely update through OTA.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] fmaskarin:
Does anyone else have similar battery stats? It is unusual for Android OS to drain so much battery. On all my previous phones with (nexus 4, nexus 5, lg g2) screen was top drainer but now on Z1C every paranoid android build I have used for the last three weeks has Android OS as top drainer. Strange... :confused:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
As long as you keep the phone awake, as much as Android OS will drain your battery!

so try to manage your running in the background stuff, and try to follow some guides on Google.

As users reported so far, PA has the most powerful battery life among all other AOSP ROMs,

so I guess it is related to how you use your phone, not to the ROM it self:p
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] fmaskarin:
I did google it a lot for the past two weeks. I think it is related to google+.

I use my phones very similar most of the time on the official PA and only on this phone I have this problem... Never mind I will keep trying. Thanks for advice anyway :)

Loving this ROM
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] tb205gti:
I also got an OTA notification. By the looks of it, it's the same as linked to from this thread (20140722)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
what version were you at? the previous unofficial release?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] tb205gti:
Can't remember to be honest. :/ I deleted the old zip, but it was downloaded from this thread.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:

Random reboots..

I installed PA 3 days before.. had amazing experience so far until early today morning when I had the OTA update and installed it.. From then to now I have 3 random held and reboots.. Dont know what are the reasons behind it.. I havent overcloaked any thing.. Only stock PA 4.45.. with xposed installed... can anyone help me with these reboots?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] jokervulture:
thanks a lot

amazing rom

but is there anyway we can get sony camera?

i love this rom just the part that i don't like is the camera
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Redstarr1:
The Sony camera API is closed source, it's going to be nigh to impossible to port to AOSP. The AOSP camera API completely sucks so that's why the PA camera isn't very good. In Android L there's going to be a much better API so look forward to that.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] jokervulture:
can't wait for it

i hope they have slow-motion camera

but when i move the camera on pa it gives me those slow lags which can't be seen in the actual sony camera which is the smoothest

thats the only reason why i exchanged my htc one for this xperia z1compact
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] matt.s:
Anyone else having GPS problems on PA? I can't get a GPS location using PA 4.45, tried Google Maps and Skobbler "GPS Navigation & Maps". They don't even trigger the GPS symbol on the notification bar. Location settigns are set to "use GPS and WiFi". "GPS status" app on the other hand triggers the "GPS in use" notification and gets a GPS fix within less than a minute, when outside even within seconds.

I'm going on vacations the day after tomorrow and I need a fully functioning phone. As jokervulture alraedy stated the AOSP camera sucks, which is going to be really annoying when on vacations. So I decided to go back to stock for now. Is there anything I could do (e.g. collect logs, save stats...) before flashing stock ROM that would help further development?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] iuno:
I started using Android with the z1c just a few weeks ago, so I'm a newbie, sorry if I ask stupid questions.

I installed CM11 when I got my z1c and asked myself (and the people in the CM-specific thread), if the new camera API in Android L will allow free camera apps to record videos with 120 fps or even more. I did not really get an answer then, are you sure, the situation will improve?

Correct me, if I am wrong, but aren't the drivers binary blobs, extracted from the original firmware? So the limitation lies within the application itself, am I right?

Another question: would it be possible for me to backup my current text messages (CM11) and restore them using PA? It's only about SMS, as calendar and contacts sync via CalDAV/CardDAV.

Anyone else having the issue that after enabling the new Android L recents, the kill all button isn't working anymore? When I press it, it opens the app next to it instead of closing all recents.

Still, best ROM ever!

Recents still has a few bugs to be worked out, one reason this release is tagged a beta. Expect it to be improved in the coming releases

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] LIONS1:
thanks bro,

how to enabel or to use the new DSB feature?

and where are the menus to customize the ROM I can't find it anywhere in setting, am I missing something here?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
To enable the feature, go to: Settings > Display > Dynamic System Bars

and no you're not missing anything, this is ParanoidAndroid ROM, which doesn't include features from other ROMs (original features only)

so no, there are no an menus to customize, all features can be found in the usual settings sections (and the features are really few comparing it to other AOSP based ROMs:p)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] LIONS1:
Thanks a lot bro it's working smoothly,

Can I use mosh kernel with latest version?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:

Mass storage option?

Hi

Is there any way to enable Mass storage mode on this ROM?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] moesus:
I have a general question about how much battery life you guys get out of this Rom. At the moment I am at a good day of "standard" usage. BBS is showing me an average of 4.7%/h. Even when I don't use the phone this doesn't drop below 3.5%/h. Are you close to this?

With the stock Sony ROMs I was able to get a little more than 2 days.

Fastboot problem

I've never really understood how to use the fastboot as I've always been using a S3 where you just put the zips on your phone, go in to recovery and flash them.

I've tried googling on tutorials like a madman with no success. When I follow the install guide here I only get as long as writing "fastboot flash boot boot.img" after I've launched CMD in the folder with the imgfile and the fastboot files. But after I've typed it it only says "waiting for device" and nothing happens on my phone. And yes it is in fastboot mode with the LED flashing blue.

I don't know where to go from here so I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks :fingers-crossed:
