[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
Right, I was gonna ask you guys about,

hmmm it's not working yet huh!!

Ok will look into it.

Edit: I have asked one of SlimROMs Development team about OTA for amami,

He said that SlimROMs has OTA between stable builds only not between weeklies :(
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] LazyT:
Uh, thats bad. :(

But on my Manta it shows "up to date" instead of the error message above, so i guess something is missing on Amami...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
Yeah don't worry about that, it will become "up to date" instead of the error message when amami gets it's first stable (two weeks from now I guess):p
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] z3phyr02:
I really like this ROM but does anyone else have idle battery drain? I don't have any wakelocks. Sleeps all night. But there's still battery drain. I'm coming from stock based ROMs so maybe Sony xperia roms are just really good on battery with their stamina mode and stuff
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] glehel:
this rom me much more better than the factory!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] LazyT:
Is it possible to update the baseband to the latest one from 14.4.A.0.108?

I tried with flashtool: all flashed fine, but after reboot the old version is displayed.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] glehel:
would be the question of how the hardware camera button can be set to a different camera program?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] scotth324:
I tried this ROM before it came official. I used this on my nexus 4 and galaxy s3 as well. Have always really liked it. Back before it was official I noticed that the two stage camera button didn't work as a first stage focus and then second stage shutter. Wondering if it works in the two stage way now as stock does or if it only is a shutter button. Also I saw there were merges for some Sony camera things. Has the camera improved on this? Stock is really beginning to bother me and I am likely to try this out again and may just stick with it forever like I have with my old s3. So long as it takes good pictures and has good battery life that is what I am after.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
I just tried camera buttons on latest weekly 7.6, they are working as two steps button, the first focuses and the second snaps the photo,

Also camera has been improved a little over the updates, but it isn't as good as stock Sony's one (I don't think it will ever be, not on aosp based ROMs)

Battery life depends on the usage, so I can't help you with that, you should give the ROM another chance (I guess) and see if it fits you :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] amnher:
What could be the reason for the camera to be as not as good as stock? is it because of the native camera application of stock sony?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
Mostly because of the closed source camera libraries by Sony, that what makes their ROM's camera much better than aosp's one.

So unless Sony consider releasing their camera libs sources, I don't think camera in aosp ROM would ever get near stock one's quality :(

Omar.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] amnher:
oh I see the last time sony releases camera libs was for SE Xperia 2011 devices
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] glehel:
you see what a difference between the Sony and the AOSP camera? what the factory better?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
Yes the camera on Stock Roms is better!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] glehel:
but what? sharpness, colors, light metering, focus speed?

I mean, the final image quality worse? maybe it may improve computer post-processing?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
Hmmm, well I'm not really into photographical stuff, I'm actually very satisfied with aosp Roms camera quality,

But I can tell when I compare two photos that stock's one is better in quality :D

Ummm, haven't you tested the ROM yet?

If not, why don't you give it a shot ;)

Regards,

Omar.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] scotth324:
I'm running the ROM now. Working great. Though for some reason the two stage focus then shutter doesn't work on mine. Only the shutter. Guess I will use it like my old nexus. It is faster than stock. Will see how the battery compares but it is good to be back on Slimkat. Thanks for your hard work.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] glehel:
I use the slimkat and I am very satisfied. I'm not a photographer, but I have a good camera. more important than the other things that provide slimkat.:D
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] mtodak:
Hi, is there any 4K / 120fps / slow motion camera mod i can use with this rom?

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] jenkins-84:
Just like to point the commits you made to Rhine.mk have broke the build for anyone using the rhine-common source in slim git https://github.com/SlimRoms/device_sony_rhine-common/commit/ea52414d255039de28ac357f3abeb5b444132e4e possibly that. I have fixed the errors they created to audio.caf by reverting your commits
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
Thanks man, the weird thing is that I have tested all new changes personally and the build went ok and it booted and everything worked great!!

I guess this is probably what caused this weekly to fail for rhine devices! I'll see the build log asap and see what exactly caused the error.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] jenkins-84:
It was showing error 1 in the audio_effects.h no such file in hardware/qcom/audio-caf/post_proc/bundle.c I was building on team viewer when it happened
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] glehel:
Special necessary to update the baseband? or included in this rom?

Now that I have looked at whether there has been recent.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
I believe latest baseband isn't included in the ROM yet, will see about it soon.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] glehel:
If it is open to the bootloader will not have to worry about these Sony OEM update (baseband, bootloader, etc...)?

Thanks for reply!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] LazyT:
I get notifications for all apps only once?

Changes in "settings->sound->advanced->less frequent notifiction sound" are ignored.

Is there yet another place for setup this or is this a bug?

7.9 OTA still not working ? Or did I something wrong ?

BTW running perfectly !
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
You didn't do anything wrong, but slimkat's OTA doesn't tell you about weeklies, it only notify about new stable releases,

next week is a stable (first one for amami) so when you install it or any build after is you'll see a "Up-to-date" message instead of the error presenting now!!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] AdrianM:
Nevermind, ignore me.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] essi:
Thanks, I should have known that, but how can this ROM be more stable than it is already ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] glehel:
Yesterday I tried the official Navitel (and igo) navigation software and I've noticed when the phone is in landscape mode, the screen flashing and then went black.

I went to the developer opportunities and appointed disable the HW layers, and has been good.

What causes this condition?

maybe the gpu driver?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] LazyT:
Is there a reason why the included filemanager is an old version (1.9.1)?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] crimson12:
Thanks for such a great ROM guys. Just switched from stock and it's been awesome. One thing I'm missing is being able to launch the camera with the hardware key with the screen off. I apologize if this has been answered, search didn't find anything.

led flash with camera

hi guys,

I am wondering why the led flash is not working with camera apps (tried the standard system camera and google camera). both show the flash symbol greyed out. I *can* use the flash light though with eg xposed torch.

anyone having similar issues?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Millon:
i just checked, and flash on google´s camera app works fine.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] abprie:
strange... I have xprivacy running, could this limit access to the led flash? (although I just checked, that no option is limited for the camera apps)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] simonwil:
Works fine for me unless I have HDR mode selected - which is expected.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] abprie:
argh... the HDR option was the issue... everything works!

thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] armaldon:
I have a noob question.

The first post says to follow the installation instructions at SlimRoms.net, but those tell me that the recommended recovery depends on the phone, and to check their forums. Well, in the SlimRoms forums for the Xperia Z1 Compact there's nothing about which recovery software to use.

So, my question is: do I just use TWRP or should I use something else? =)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
You can use whatever recovery you want to flash the ROM, and it'll be replaced automatically by TWRP because it is included inside the ROM.

Regards,

Omar.

OTA still does not work - cannot read SlimOTA properties.

Have 7.6-weekly-6196 at the moment
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] AdrianM:
As it's been said lots of times before, OTA is not available for Weekly builds. Just for stable ones.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] mtodak:
Well, I understood that first stable can be OTA on weekly. Now I see i need sideload first stable and from then on have OTA working.

Can I sideload stable on 7.6 without loosing a thing or is it from scratch (installing aps,settings etc.)?

Any link/guide please ?

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

Have it here

2. Updating SlimRoms while on the same Android version (e.g. slimkat to slimkat) without losing data/apps (Dirty flash):

We don’t recommend this method as it might subject users to miscellaneous bugs.

If you face any bugs after using this method then please do a clean flash before reporting.

- Download latest SlimRoms and latest gapps and put them on your sd card

- Boot to recovery

- In CWM, wipe cache, dalvik and format system in mounts and storage section

- In TWRP choose advanced in wipe section and wipe cache, dalvik and system

- Flash ROM

- Flash Gapps

- Reboot

Anyone reported problems doing Dirty flash from 7.6 to 8.2?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] AdrianM:
You should be fine with flashing stable without wiping phone before. But make a backup before trying just to make sure.

Just flash stable zip as you usually do with weekly ones without wiping anything.

Edit: Well, seems like you find the answers yourself.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] mtodak:
Without wiping anything?

So,shall I skip these steps?

- In CWM, wipe cache, dalvik and format system in mounts and storage section

- In TWRP choose advanced in wipe section and wipe cache, dalvik and system

What about gapps? flash new or not?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] AdrianM:
What you wrote earlier it's good to be done. Just format system, cache and dalvik-cache. That way you won't lose your apps, settings, etc. Just make sure you don't format data. Then install stable ZIP.

And install gapps too, because wiping system partition will delete gapps too.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] mtodak:
Now its clear,thanks.

WIFI hotspot does not work (ver. 8.0). The other device indicates that it is connected, but no internet. What could be wrong?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Proda:
Hi,

I came across this bug today. I was using my phone for one hour+ reading the news, browsing the Internet, reading XDA... Etc... But when I went to battery consumption to see what apps were using it the most I was puzzled because there are no apps shown there. Only Android OS and Screen (screenshot)

Edit: where is my screenshot? I will upload it from the computer later. XDA app failed to do that :(

Sent from my Z1 Compact
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] SuperSkill:
The issue you mention could be related to safety. What encryptions have you tried? Same result in every encryption option? And have you tried more than one device?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] armaldon:
So... it didn't work.

So I just got an Xperia Z1 Compact (model D5503). I didn't even really use the phone before starting this process (the whole time it's been without a SIM card and without WIFI connection).

What I did (with a Gentoo Linux laptop and a 90% charged phone).

1. Rooted the device as per http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784900 (Easy Root Tool for various Xperia Devices)

2. Installed Dual Recovery as per http://techbeasts.com/2014/07/05/in...pact-14-4-a-0-108-firmware-lockedunlocked-bl/ (Install CWM/TWRP recovery on Sony Xperia Z1, Z1 Compact 14.4.A.0.108 Firmware [Locked / Unlocked BL]). Turned off the phone.

3. Placed Slim-amami-4.4.4.build.8.2-WEEKLY-7324 and Slim_mini_gapps.4.4.4.build.8.x-282 in an SDcard, which then went into the phone. The files sha1sum matches with the advertised on the SlimKat website.

4. Booted the phone into TWRP.

5. Wiped dalvik, cache, system and data (as per http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/installation)

6. Flashed Slim-amami-4.4.4.build.8.2-WEEKLY-7324 and Slim_mini_gapps.4.4.4.build.8.x-282

7. Rebooted.

I did not get the SlimKat bootup logo. When I hold the power button, the phone vibrates, but nothing comes up in the screen. I can hold the power button again, but nothing comes up, it just vibrates.

So... I have a phone that vibrates when I hold the power button, but that's all it does so far.

Any ideas on what I should do now? Or how do I even get back to a working phone? :/
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] simonwil:
You need to unlock the boot loader before you can install a custom rom. Easy and safe to do.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] armaldon:
Uh.... I would have realized that if that piece of critical information where not in the small print. Only after reviewing the original post did I see that "ROM Firmware Required: Unlocked Bootloader" was written in the CONTRIBUTOR'S section. Can I get a WTF? for that? Could it please be placed somewhere more prominent... like, right before the "Installation instructions?" :/

Regardless, it seems that to fix my phone I need to first get flashtool and then flash a generic Xperia Z1C tft, this one, perhaps? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2797834 (Xperia Z1 Compact (D5503) Generic DE firmware) using the green LED / Flash Mode of the phone. And then I have to restart the whole procedure.

Is this correct? Or is there a faster way (that TFT is over a gigabyte in size, this will take me a while...)?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] simonwil:
I don't know if there is a quicker fix but I used flashtool when I did the same thing as you. :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] pathaniya:
Still no stable release, why-o-why ? :( Is anyone using any custom kernel with it?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
I don't think there is a quicker way to get out of your situation, and be aware that unlocking the bootloader isn't required for all devices just for Sony and few more maybe,

so the thing is, these instruction are general! , and you should've read about the device specifications before doing anything to it,

I mean all Xperia users know that you can't install a custom ROM without unlocking your device's bootloader!

I'm saying that as an advice nothing more.

Yeah, that was unfortunate, Hopefully we'll have our first stable next time :)

for me SlimKat's kernel is custom enough, I mean it almost contains all Pimpedkernel's features! why would I change it.

Omar.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] armaldon:
I am still of the opinion that a requirement probably shouldn't be placed in the "contributors" section. :P

Anyway, I finally got my phone setup, and there are a couple of things I can't quite figure out yet:

1. Is there any way to setup which application is launched when you hold the camera shutter button?

2. How do I setup my USB connection to just be... USB external disk? The "USB computer connection" setting in the "Storage" section only gives me the option to use MTP or PTP; as a Linux user, neither of these help me out. Also, if I don't select either of them, the phone won't charge when connected through the USB port? o_o

SlimKat 8.6.1 UP!

SlimKat 8.6.1 UP!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] armaldon:
It is, but I haven't managed to get it working on my phone. After flashing the zip and the slim-gapps, I ended with a phone that had no Google Play Services O_O; (which means a broken Play Store which I then can't use to install said services). I did some reading and couldn't figure out what happened, if I need to also fetch a beta slim-gapps to go with it. :s

So, until there's more information on how should one update, I am withholding from doing it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] glehel:
for me everything is working properly
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] armaldon:
What did you do, Glehel? I though I could do a weekly update by just flashing the weekly release and then the slim-gapps. I flashed Slim-amami-4.4.4.build.8.6.1-WEEKLY-7470 and then Slim_mini_gapps.4.4.4.build.8.x-282, which is how I got my phone with a missing Google Play Services. Did you do anything differently?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] flof:
It's working fine here, too - as always wiped system, cache and dalvik cache, then flashed the weekly and the latest beta gapps (Slim_full_gapps.BETA.4.4.4.build.8.x-310.zip).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Gronkdalonka:
Yeah, had the same problem. I just downloaded latest beta gapps (minimal) flashed it and everything is fine.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] armaldon:
So... seeing how I am new to this phone, I've been looking around for a list of known bugs, but I can't find any. Did I miss it?

So far, what I know which doesn't work (or isn't supported) in SlimKat is:

1. Toggling glove-support on the touch-screen

2. Mounting the external SD card as just an external USB disk

3. Screen-orientation lock (it broke on the last weekly)

Anything else?

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
You probably did something wrong, what ROM were you using before? and did you do a clean install before flashing Slim?

to get out of the situation you're in, just flash a custom kernel and flash another ROM, or simply flash a Sony FW though flashtool.

Regards,

Omar.
