[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalhead131:
Thanks guys. I understand what you've said, except that something physically breaks in my phone. What was physically added, by the 4.3 software update, that will brick it other than the incompatible software and bootloader? Also, would you mind explaining how exactly someone reset it on their exynyos note 3? A video on YouTube is available about it.

And basically, you're saying that Knox just prevents me from flashing a bootloader? Does that restriction only apply to old Samsung bootloaders, or all including third party? Thank you all so much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Hi!

Nothing physically. eFuse means electronic fuse, but not as in a discreet physical fuse. Just that the MK3 bootloader makes it so that the warranty/Knox bit is irreversible, like a fuse.

Maybe they can explain if you ask them, if it's indeed true.

Knox does several things. Preventing you from downgrading the bootloader is consistent with one of its purposes: to not be able to erase evidence that the phone has been tampered with.

Not sure what you mean by third party bootloaders. There are no third party bootloaders. Maybe you're talking about kernels?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalhead131:
I thought that since there are custom Roms, kernels, and recoveries, there might be custom boot loaders. So there is no way to erase a bootloader either?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalhead131:
Sigh, next time I'm definitely going with a nexus.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
You erase/corrupt a bootloader and your phone loses the ability to boot. And this doesn't just apply to Samsung phones, all devices work like this. The bootloader is what commences the boot up process and without it the device literally doesn't know how to turn itself on.

Hi, latest S.o.n.y 14.4.A.0.157 rom for you!

Rom is in complete - mean: rooted, have Superuser|SuperSu, su, busybox, cwm recovery, deodexed, zipaligned...etc, just install propertly and enjoy rom! Please don't install any external mod in order to report here if something isn't working (do it silent and on your own risk! It will probably broke your rom and make rom malfunction!).

Rom allso have included ntfs support (to mount your ntfs drive, run command using terminal emulator "ntfsmount mount" to mount your drive or "ntfsmount umount" to umount your drive (note about ntfs: do not use settings menu to mount/umount your ntfs drive since ntfs is not supported by any rom by default, so you can't see ntfs volume mount status inside settings menu since android not supporting ntfs, but your ntfs is fully mounted and have fully read/write support, just use any file explorer to manage your ntfs volume data!). Allso do not forget to umount your ntfs volume at finish when you finish menaging your ntfs volume data!

Rom allso contain support for usbserial and ftdi based usb card readers.

For best experience I have compiled Lionheart cpu governor, you can use them in combination with row iosched to get very smooth ui and very good baterery life for daily usage!

4k is not working and allso I not going to get them working!(I have removed 4k from camera widget). I sugest you to not use any external camera mod since our one is totaly stock based and I have not replaced anything related to stock camera, every camera part is carefully patched, so if you want any camera mod than do not go here to report something which probably will not work after your replace or you get battery drain fast after replace! Allso if you have installed something which not comming from our rom than allso please do not report anything! Everything is tested and everything working very good!

How to install:

All old rom data will be deleted (this will not afect your internal storage data)! Please do not perform backup restore, instead of restoring backups please install your faworite applications trought android market!

If somebody have problems installing rom (error 7 during installation):

- You need working recovery (one which propertly detect ro.product.device). If this not help you than try to remove first line of the updater-script (assert line).

Where is the file?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] sleepymarky:
Nice!!

I've been using your v108 for 2 months now and its stable.

I'm looking forward for this!!

Thanks in advance!!

Edit: Wait, I just wanna ask this but, since I will be coming from your 108 version... Do I just flash this after wiping cache and dalvik? or do I do a full wipe?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] maris__:
My guess is you should also wipe system, but can leave data unwiped. Also when you are flashing the original ROM with flashtool , you can leave out wiping data.

Best regards, maris
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] munjeni:
Download links is ready, happy gaming! :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] munjeni:
Just to let you know, all old data will be removed trought aroma so please do not perform backups restores from old roms since our new rom require clean installation! Old data removal will not wipe your internal sdcard or external sdcard, it will wipe only old rom data! I have included installation choice for superuser or supersu, choice for ad blocking, debloating...etc so carefully select installation things for your needs! Enjoy new rom! :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Patrick-Mav:
recovery included

Hi munjeni,

thanks for keeping our device up to date.

Just to be sure: The D5503_14.4.A.0.157_Generic_nosystem.ftf contains a recovery, yes? After flashing this, I can enter that recovery and flash the big zip.

Or do I need to mess around with some other recovery install first?

Sorry, if this is stupid.

:cool:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] munjeni:
No! It contain: baseband, partition layout, bootbundle, kernel, fota kernel, elabel. Nothing more! You need to install recovery before you gona itstall ftf and after than to install new rom! First you must have working recovery! If you are on old rom you can use my newroot tool for rooting your phone and for getting recovery (tool will install confirmed working recovery)! But chech first if you can enter into recovery before you proced to installing things from our thread!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Patrick-Mav:
Ok, cool. I do have a working recovery currently. I am afraid, that flashing the _nosystem.ftf will remove this recovery. Does it not?

Thanks again.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] mosespl:
In short:

To install this rom you need to have latesr stock fw and root and recovery aftert that just download zip file from this thread and install via recovery and thats all:)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] munjeni:
No, it will not remove your recovery! But if you comming from 14.2.A.XXXX it will broke recovery since partition layout is diferent than kitkat so it will broke your system partition! If you comming from 4.4.4 its safe than! If you are afraid you can update oficialy to the latest oficial firmware, than reflash only boot but use boot from 14.4.A.0.108, than use newroot tool for rooting/cwm, than reboot to recovery and flash new rom.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] alex88510:
Will restoring only some app's data cause problem?

which means re-install the app from Google playstore and restore the data using titanium backup.

I don't feel wanna lost my game progress:crying:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] SuperSkill:
Probably restoring data will not break anything except your right to report issues. I fully understand why [MENTION=4120742]munjeni[/MENTION] wants full reinstallation of the apps because some apps cause issues as well as restore. Especially restoring between stock and cm/aosp.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] munjeni:
Exactly!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] munjeni:
You can of course but probably you will not be satisfied with rom! At least you can try, if you notice problems it will be problems related to restored apks! In these situation please do not report here anything not working!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] SRgustavo:
Rom is working great. No issues except for one random reboot. Everything is flying in this phone. Battery seems to be great. Thanks for this masterpeace again.

Download Mirrors?

Hi,

Am on 157 Sony stock rom and would love to try this ROM as my first custom ROM for the brilliant Z1 Compact. Have not unlocked the bootloader and would like to keep it locked. Am unable to access the mega site from my region. Is the download available from any other site? Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

apv
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] munjeni:
I will upload to another site when I finish all things! Guys, lets colect all bugs!

Bugs you found:

1. cwm recovery storing backups to the root of the ramdisk instead of storing to the internal storage?

2. guick toggle during call is activated? One questin... are you sure your finger was not on screen before screen goes off???

3. any other bug have you noticed?

I am on 108, i flashed doom kernel v22 and lost root, easy root tool doest help and newroot says doomkernel is not supported. how can i get root back?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] mosespl:
1. in my case my nandroid is stored into media/clockworkmod instead of internalsd/clockworkmod but recovery is saying that backup should be on sdcard/clockworkmod so there is need of changing direction of backup to internal sdcard:)

2. im sure that my finger wasnt on screen and i've done tests and there is something wrong and im sure of it:) after replace of home everything works great i mean there is still a bug and my upper side of screen still get touch when screen is of by proximity while call but if i turn it of by power button there is no problem with random touches. but my status bar aint droping down anymore because of other settings in home.

3. i belive that is kk bug but battery life is terrible for me i mean that i revert to stock jb 4.3 114 wersion and i cant belive that my phone get such a battery life i have more than 60h of battery life now and 3h of screen and1h of calling and i have still 33% of battery which is insane for me maybe some setting could be ported from jb to kk to get some values because any kk rom had a lot of worse battery life for my phone. on jb while night i have 2% drop of my battery on kk i have almost 10% without mods or with your rom. Maybe there is something wrong with my phone but on jb my battery life in insane and i thought that i have something wrong my battery but defenitly is something wrong with KK(not your rom specific)

Perhaps you can reintergrad "lionheart" governor in the new ROMversion.

Whats the best cpu-setting-combination to have a good performance and save battery? I don't play any games, only phone, inetrnet, music, routing and so on (looked bootloader)

ok i found the post, the latest seems to be from november.

You could try lionheart and min 300mhz and max 1,49ghz all works fine without lagzz and i dont see much difference between this and full power.

[MENTION=4553079]mosespl[/MENTION], I think battery life is not much diferent between jb and kk, if I not forgot, kernel battery driver is modified related to battery level value, for example on jb voltage 4000mv is reported as 85 percent but on kk it is displayed 70 percent...etc, you can analyse by self by dialing #*#*4636*#*# , I thing on jb battery level was not real!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] munjeni:
Yes but exploit is patched on 157 and you will need to install boot from 108 just for rooting, than reinstall boot from 157!

I dial this on jb and search for info and now on 10% of battery I have 3653mV I can't find any further info I need to recharge battery and check on 100 what I will have value I'm on first cycle and watch this:

I can't send it in other way because.of legacy version of tapatalk but on any kk i can't even close to this score. I don't know why really. This is from jb 114 this version is the first that z1c was manufactured. I'm really shocked because I don't want to revert back to 4.3 but my battery life sucks on kk and on 4.3 is much much better maybe it's related to kernel version? Is there any possibility to get working kernel from jb 114 to any kk rom or to your rom for tests? I would like to try some combinations and see what will happend. I'm curious why every newer versions of fw has much poor battery life for my phone and I use my phone on every version in the same way exactly and I'm very confused. I know this is your rom thread but I would like to help improved battery life because I think that this is the most important thing for all of us:) and on 114 i use only stamina and 2g for calls and.if need i change to Lte. And I have 1h calls for this stats. For me is really much improvement 3 days of moderate use. On any kk a have nearly 2 days and sometimes 1 day with 4h of screen.

On wakelock detector now I have 4-5% of activity and.on kk i have always 15% minimum.even.if I don't use my phone. Maybe Sony do it for some purpose maybe to force us to buy new.phones who knows?;)

If you don't.belive me perform.a.little.test in a free time and install for 3 days this version of android and check by yourself if will be improvement in battery life in normal day use. If yes maybe it is good idea to tune this version with new apps and new improvements but I'm dreaming now hehe but I will back to your rom and posts here compare with your rom I have screenshots from wakelock detector too.

Cheers

can i flash the kernel only from a 108 tft file (all other options unchecked) so with all options checked marked i'm left with kernel.sin, rpm.sin and loader.sin.

then root

then use D5503_14.4.A.0.157_Generic_nosystem.ftf to get the kernel back to .157?

Thats not posible if you not messed up chargemon script, for example if you have installed something out of this rom, than it will happen, my sugestion is - reinstall everything from begining.

Yes, it will flash everything but only system skip.

[MENTION=4553079]mosespl[/MENTION], I agree with you about latest kk, it have battery drainage but I have no time to analyse what cause drain. I think that I will go to 108 version since from my opinion latest one is not so good like 108, 108 is better and I will go back using 108. I have no idea what is new in 157, seems some improvements but I don't noticed anything and realy don't know what is a changelog on 157!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] mosespl:

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] maris__:
Just as a note: I am currently on a rooted and deodexed stock 157 ROM with stock kernel (interactive/noop, max frq. reduced to 1.9 MHz), which gives me great battery life. My phone is currently running for 6 days, 15 hours, with 40% battery left. So I don't think there is a general battery drain problem with the 157 ROM and kernel.

With best regards, maris

I like your ROM and this looks nice too
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] alex88510:
Not to report any issue here, your rom is good and running cool.

I recently tried to lower down the lowest auto brightness level of the screen.

I have decompiled the framework-res.apk and edit the values in res/values/array.xml but once I recompiled it and flash it, my phone stuck in bootloop.

I have read some info about the old apktool will cause this problem but I used the AdvancedApkTool 4.1.0 by BDFreak and this problem still occurred.

May I know which tool or method do you used to make changes to the framework-res.apk? Or did I miss out something or made anything wrong?:confused:

Thank you!:)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] OsoAlgo:
The lite version of the Lux app supports lower brightness values. Works well although it may drain more battery if you set it to continuously update.

In any case I'd also like to know how to modify framework-res.apk, I also tried using the same tool but I couldn't even decompile correctly.
