[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Socotroco:
I have had this ROM installed for the last 3 days, so far the battery life is not as good as STOCK Sony Rom. I got about 4:45hs of screen on time with PA against 6:15hs with stock.

On the other hand, PA rom is quite more snappy and fluid than stock, I like it as it feels more responsive than stock.

Will test more days to see if I get better battery life (I have already disabled Google Now and Location Reporting/History, installed Xposed module named 'Unbounce' and Greenify).

If you have any comments on how to improve battery life, let me know.

Thanks.

Just found a possible bug? Maybe someone can confirm this, or not :p. I have hover enabled (it's sweet btw) and when I get a hangouts / text message and open it in a floating window by selecting the hover pop up, the app I had running closes and hangouts opens in a pop up.

This doesn't happen with other apps though (eg whatsapp).

Is there a bug connected with launching camera via hardware button? I get 'camera has stopped working' and then the camera launches, every single time
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] spoidar:
Lucky you, mine doesn't do anything at all on this ROM with the standard camera app. You might try clearing data on the camera app, see if that helps
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] birnee:
Hah, got it! I have tried it, that's the furthest I have got to

Unlocked my bootloader today and flashed this. Happy so far, seems fluid enough for a daily driver.

Hoping batterytime will treat me allright too.

How do I disable PIE while in immersive mode?

I've been looking trough all the menus in but I just can't seem to find it. :confused:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] moesus:
The first time I enabled immersive mode through the quick tiles, it asked if I would like to use pie with the options "yes, no or ask again".

I don't know if this can be enabled later. Maybe do a fresh install, then it should ask you again.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Redstarr1:
Go to backup and restore, the option to restore PA defaults is in there.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] moesus:
Or that :p

Never new that existed. Thanks!

Problem with SIM card

Hi, when I've installed thi ROM, SIM card reader stopped working. It recognize when I insert or pull out the card but doesn't read SIM and it doesn't ask me for a PIN. I have tried to flash back original ROM but it didn't help. Do you have any advice how to fix this issue?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] bonneffoi:

z1c goes dead during custom rom installation, stating MD5 file missing

I have tried using the twrp recovery, but it doesn't happen as it says MD5 file missing. I am on the D5503_14.4.A.0.157_BAL rom !

Any directions where is it going wrong?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] funiewski:
i think you can uncheck md5 check in twrp settings

I had used the last time pa at the galaxy s3. And there was some trouble with the cam. I know we don't have the full 20 mp but is there some trouble with it like fc or not starting? And my last question? What about lte?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] moesus:
Camera works absolutely fine. I can use the full 20.7 MP, there are no fcs.

LTE working great as well! Just choose LTE in connection settings.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] bocke85:
Ok really good. And now the one and only question.. What says the battery? Sony stuff like stamina will not work. But what could i expect?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] moesus:
With Sony stock I definitely had better battery life. With this plus the GreatDevs Kernel I get a day and a half.

I use Llama, amplify and greenify. It does depend on your usage though. In standby, 2 days should be possible.

I think a little worse battery life is still worth it though! Such a great Rom!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] spoidar:
As soon as you unlock your bootloader you lose the stock noise reduction and low light performance, because Sony delete the encryption keys off the device that let you use them. That said, in this ROM the camera is no worse than any other custom ROM.

Standby should get through about 3 days, with amplify/greenify:

The more you use it, the further from that you'll get, obviously. You should get 1-2 days out of it though.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] bocke85:
I'm now on it. I can't life without hover. This is one of the main reasons for me. I hope it is stable enough for an beta.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] moesus:
IMO this is simply called "beta" , but it is definitely a stable version! I've been using this for months now and had no issues :D

Can't wait for PAC 5.0!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
Indeed it is stable, but the beta flag is referring to the beta features (which are DSB & L-style Recent Apps) that's all what's beta ATM.

Omar.

Please tell me, is there a way to make the haptic feedback stronger? Although i chose 100% in device options it is very weak. With swiftkey for example I can make the haptic feedback time longer and it gets much stronger, but in the rest of the ui haptic feedback is very weak. Thanks in advance. Please answer, because this is very important to me, otherwise great rom!

Hi bro,

Thanks alot for your hard work for our beloved Z1C

I wanna ask you why haven't you merged latest Sony 4.4.4 Kk firemware and used it in coustume ROMs

Like Baseband is still 39 and not 51(and there is another updated one I guess), and another blops?

Won't that improve the whole user experience and device function or So?

Excuse me if I'm wrong I was just wondring I know another devices developers update the base for coustume ROMs when new firemware is Out?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] bocke85:
Will these updates come through the updater in the rom?

question about camera

Been reading the previous comments and I'm still on the fence about unlocking my bootloader mainly since I don't want to permanently lose camera functionality. Can anyone comment on how the camera performs compared to the stock camera on a locked bootloader? Or maybe how it performs compared to the Nexus 5 since I actually liked that camera. I also read a few pages back that the hardware button doesn't launch the camera. Is that still the case? I've been dealing with the stock rom for a few months but I really miss PA. The camera is super important to me though... TIA
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] moesus:
I can totally understand you. I also have the problem of wanting to keep all the great functions Sony has implemented in this device, but just can't live without the smoothness of PA.

I think it is obvious that the camera on stock performs better. Everyone has to decide for themselves, if this is a reason to keep stock. I can live without it! The quality on AOSP is good enough for me!

About the hardware button. On my phone it does not launch google camera. The only app that works for me is Camera ZOOM FX, although I don't really use it and it does not launch when the screen is off or on lockscreen. I have to say that this is the biggest feature I am missing!

If you think about switching to AOSP, there seems to be good news though. Look at this:

http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672

I haven't tried it, but seems like you could restore full functionality even after unlocking BL.

ALWAYS do a TA backup though ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rob rich:
The best thing would be to try on your own.

You can make a backup of your TA partition with this tool (before you unlock) to relock your bootloader if you dont like it and revert all changes.

I cant get past the boot screen

Hi guys,

Im a bit new to all this stuff, but i have been trying to root my phone for a few days now.

I got the .157 firmware, but that didnt work. So i flashed a .108 and rooted that one manually.

(the easyroottool didnt work)

So yesterday i installed CMW-recovery.

Then i hoped i could flash a custom rom.

I tried serveral ones, but i had the most succes with this one.

But when rebooted my phone from CMW i just got stuck on the boot screen and i couldnt turn of the phone.

So now i'm trying to flash back my stock .108 with root.

But i do want a custom rom. Can you help me?

Official Paranoid Android support !!!

Great news,

it seems like our device is getting Official Paranoid Android support (not from PA-Legacy)

which is fully based on AOSP instead of being based on CM like in legacy (obviously official PA team doesn't use any CM stuff ;))

https://github.com/AOSPA/android_device_sony_amami

https://gerrit.paranoidandroid.co/#/c/135

and by that, there is no need for me to maintain this device anymore :o

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Xentar712:

2 features I'm missing on this version

2 features I'm missing on this version.. or rather 2 features that exist and I'd like to cancel:

1. The popup confirmation screen every time I want to raise the earphone volume level to a maximum. How do I cancel that?

2. Having to manually slide to turn on the GPS location feature from the power toggles app. How do I cancel that?

Thanks,

Everything is great, though GPS cannot get my location (using google maps and also tried a GPS test/fix app from the play store). Anyone else have this problem?

Loving this ROM so far, no big issues that I am aware of. Bluetooth works fine, speed is good and the battery has settled to great... almost as good as Sony's with stamina mode.

What do you mean by setlled to great battery? I only got 3h of screen on time :) i can't wait for this rom to update:)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] d.o.o.g:
I'm going back to stock soon, but I thought I'd list issues I have:

1. Sound - serious degradation in sound quality from TuneIn - it was fine on the Sony Stock, now it breaks up all over the place, which may be related to

2. Signal strength seems to have dropped off - I often find myself on DC rather than H and even WI-FI pickup is poor compared to the stock.

3. Charging - my phone will only charge from mains since applying this rom. If I turn it off it will charge on USB, but as soon as the phone is on, it won't recognise the USB for charging.

I will revisit this ROM, there's obviously a lot of hard work gone into it, but for me it's not that stable/useful at the moment.

I think the data connection should be a general CM problem. I am having the problem with C-ROM and now with PAC.

So I compiled the new PA 4.4 RC2 (4.4.3), and hover feature button appeared in the notification drawer,

Unlike previous releases, but the restaurant (the internet source) has stopped sharing the Internet, due to streaming the f***ing football match now,

I give any ROM 3 days for charge / discharge to settle. Battery after flashing is usually much worse than 3 days out, so. don't comment on it for the first week or so.

Battery for me has been great.

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------

After flashing most ROMs, I need to change the APN for my signal to behave as it should. Usually an ATT APN is picked that is not optimal for my area. Maybe that would help...

Currently testing this rom and it is great!

I got question regarding hover on this rom, where i can access setting for hover?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] c37:
If you pull down your notification area, the hover toggle is next to the button that brings you to the quick settings.

I don't know about any other hover settings other than enabling/disabling it with this button.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] najar360:
Thanks mate. I thought it has features like crom to control hover setting.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] c37:
Does anyone else here have a problem with their screen brightness on the 4.4 final build?

Mine is generally too low. In auto brightness mode it is on the lowest brightness value all the time.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] najar360:
have you try under sunlight? if the value remain same, maybe your sensor got spoil. do you do clean flash or dirty flash? if you do dirty flash, might try clean flash.

mine is working perfectly.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] c37:
My sensor works, I checked it independently. My phone is also only one week old. Everything else works.

I did a clean flash (via PhilZ from an usb stick), but I think I did not flash the boot.img independently. Could this be the problem?

I am pretty sure that the bug is not in auto brightness itself, but that the brightness is generally too low (some constants are mixed up or so). It's a bit hard to explain.
