Can someone provide a little report about stand of official nightlies? Which bugs? It would be cool :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Syssx:
Currently there are 2 bugs i know of. Mac addresses doesn't get set properly and screen flickers while on lowest brightness. Both will be fixed really soon.

Also guys did someone noticed that CM isn't as smooth as official rom while scrolling ? I am noticing a lot of scroll lags and whole UI is laggy. This is probably of some badly set governors or stuff.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] maninder singh bali:
Yes.. U r right same here. There is one more bug and it is since the CM is born.. The sound recording isdone at very low frequency.. It bare to hear the sound after recording. Have u noticed.. I use smart voice recorder. U compare it with the stock sony rom.. This y i dont use aosp rom.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Ger$$on:
So... Is the Mac problem the reason why I have to re-connect my sony Smartwatch (Bluetooth) every time that I restart the phone?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Epipsychidion:
Yes, have the same issue
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Timify_98:
whatsapp or cm bug ?

When i´am online with mobile data turned on, i can´t chat via whatsapp but in WLAN its no problem :(

But Chrome Facebook etc. are working fine in mobile data.

Does anybody have this bug or a solution for this problem ?

have a nice day ! :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:
anyone experiencing weird hot reboots with latest nightlies, especially while in-call?

also weird battery readings like attachment?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] paulle:
hot reboot

Same thing here (often hot reboots), in my case especially when I switch on/off wlan and/sync in quick tiles settings. Same thing happening on a z3 of my friend.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:
nice, thanks. (although its not nice hehe)

i downgraded to old build from first half of august that i had on sdcard.

there are few reports on official jira here and here so go there and upvote if you have an account. seems like CM screwed something in late august builds.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] paulle:
OK upvoted the two issues.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:
googled the issue right now, there are reports on xda for various devices, also on reddit etc, and from that jira bugreports its obvious that the issue is not device specific and also not kernel specific as i've tried newest nightlies with old builds of M5 kernel and device still reboots. the only way is to settle with some older nightly until this is fixed.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] paulle:
You are right it seems to be a CM issue, because I put CM on a xperia z3 of a friend and it has the same issue.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:
the bad part is that there's no builds older than 27th on CM server so we're dependant on user-archived nightlies or other roms.

what are your triggers? mine is almost all random, except phone calls often (not always) leads to a reboot, but from battery graph it seems device hot reboots unnoticed while sleeping - once i saw it lying on the table, the blue CM logo appeared out of the blue followed by a new gap in the battery graph :D

some users reports wifi on/off trigger reboots but not for me. also the whole issue isn't affecting everyone. looks like nasty mess though.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] paulle:
for me the main triggers are wlan on/off, sync on/off, phone calls (all almost random (for this reason the nasty bug will be difficult to detect)) and sometimes a spontaneous reboot I can't correlate with a special action (simply happens).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:
totally agree with that, yes, that's why is a nasty one. even worse; users on jira have reported that there's no error information in moments before reboots, afaik they aren't even logged into logcats.

a twilight zone.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] paulle:
So there is only the hope the CM people get it fixed it as soon as possible. Or waiting for CM13? (android M)?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:
getting kinda bored of that. M means another messy start from scratch for aosp and it's getting repetitive already. like, hey look the video does not work, this and that doesn't work, bugs and workarounds like we just got brand new device that never ran android before. CM12 isn't out of nightlies yet, we're still talking about bluetooth bugs, 3.10 kernel still doesn't work for rhine platform (although is soon to be working, but still) and not to forget crappy aosp camera that *everyone* complains about although google bragged about new camera api more than a year ago, which none uses except nexus and perhaps a handful of other devices, because manufacturers don't release blobs to aosp or whatever is the reason - stuff like that - and now M is already on the way. aosp's moto today is to run behind continuously thanks to architecture of android, and honestly a new version of android isn't all that exciting anymore to me.

but it's not the thread for that kinda rant :p
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] paulle:
you are right, but what is the solution? I'm running CM for having a minimal control over the phone, that means deleting bloat, having root, installing only a minimal gapps, fast security updates and so on.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:
...you meant maximum control? ;)

it's blasphemy to me and i'm still coping with the idea counting pros and cons, but stock, really. whatever version of android it runs. could be jelly bean, i'm starting to not care.

want a full working phone for a change. not cutback device with 20mp sensor taking crappy photos, black lines bug still unresolved officially, terrible wifi driver that drains juice, buggy bluetooth or video recording/reproduction with sound low as a whisper, etc etc etc.

rooting stock is doable and a bloat is less of a problem over nifty stuff i'm used to on cyanogenmod. obviously nothing is perfect and ideal, but at least i want hardware that works.

and that single urge is all what's wrong with android and aosp today.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] paulle:
.you meant maximum control? ;) I meant minimal in the sense of avoiding spying and tracking (completely you can't avoid it).

The other point I want working hardware too (in the sense getting the best out of it). I normally use linux on my pc, windows I use only as a game bootloader. I believe linux and CM often have the same problem, manufacturers and others don't let them use proprietary firmware and drivers and for this reason it's often difficult to get out the maximum of the hardware.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Talkrabb:
I'm on 20150829 and had no hot reboots yet.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] mcastagnaa:
Maybe it's me just getting older, but I would subscribe every word you said.

I understand flashing withdrawal and how exciting new things are but, please, let's not forget there is beauty in finished job as well [emoji1].
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:
jea, just want to make clear that i didn't want to be bitter about the devs and community at all. there's a huge knowledge and efforts there; i'm looking solely at google.

there's excellent reading on the subject:

http://www.xda-developers.com/opinion-android-is-its-own-worst-enemy-for-updates/
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Redstarr1:
Does anyone have an older build without the reboots? Unfortunately I deleted mine, I've been having the reboot issue for a while and figured they'd fix it soon but now it's crippling me a bit too much so will revert for a while.

"Funny" thing about my reboots is that battery reports as zero and I can't turn the device back on without recharging a little bit. I'm not always near a charger however...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:
here, a month old but it works (reboots started around 20th august anyway)

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s1xv1vzmv0gjmq7/AADohzJndVKGg3RKnETsJx5ha?dl=0
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Redstarr1:
Thanks a lot!

I see a lot of Rhine and Sony_msm_8974 related fixes in the changelog of the upcoming nightly, looks promising, although I don't see any direct mention of hot reboots.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:
wouldn't be the first time that new commits break existing stuff :) thats's how the hot reboots were introduced a few weeks ago ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Redstarr1:
Yeah it could work that way as well, pretty sure there will be some breakage at first. But it seems the official Android 5.1 update for Z1 series is out, that might explain the new commits.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] mcastagnaa:
Anyone has a solution/trick to avoid having to pair bluetooth devices back at every reboot?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] fadern:
Hi, will this commit enable support for f2fs (data and cache)?

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] coolkoushik07:
Hi guys, after a long period I am going to flash cm12.1 but I have a confusion.. In the official download page, you can see cm and nightly recovery.. How to flash that recovery ? Are they separated recovery from CM so that it can be flashed using latest open recovery TA update >? Need help
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] gqcJYb3UN8xSIWNUy2xX:
Hi.

I would suggest you to wait a little bit longer, as currently builds have problems (lags, reboots) .

If you still want to flash CM:

It used to be that recovery would be in the CM zip. If they are separated now not problem.

You can install CM via any recovery, and you can later check in developer options that CM would update the recovery.

If you want install CM recovery in the beginning , you can do that with fastboot.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] camel_456:
Thanks very much for this. I've been plagued by the hot reboots and was about to give up and go back to stock (I used the phone as a boarding pass the other day and was so paranoid it would reboot when I got to the gate!). After clean flashing this I haven't had that problem (yet...fingers crossed).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] fadern:
Hrm, my ext sdcard seems to be in read only. How do I get rw?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] paulle:
use the file manager as root and change the permissions

or backup the content of your sdcard and after it format the the sdcard (I formated as ext4) and if not writeable change the permissions again.

is the mac address of all z1c Seems to be a CM bug that never get fixed. Does anybody know how to get the real mac address?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] fadern:
Thank you paulle! I changed the fs to ext4 from vfat and it did the trick.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Syssx:
Guys is UI in latest nightly still laggy and not smooth as in stock rom? Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] :
Good news everyone, the wifi module has been updated :D

Observations: No wifi battery drain on my device

Still to test: the infamous EAP bug!

thanks to CM maintainers for merging the update, and to [MENTION=985241]erikcas[/MENTION] for working on it

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/f981288617c53822abc891a60bdc2c5e1e50cf97
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] someone8:
Coool! Will this commit be in the next nightly? I can't see the changes yet in the nightlies change log, though. :confused:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] :
Those commits were pushed directly to github, not over gerrit, so they won't show up in cmxlog ;)

Currently just sitting at a PC in university, waiting for wifi to break :p

let's see if I'm successful :D

EDIT: no wifi breakage here, with about 15 minutes of testing. I'd say the problem is solved, but maybe I was just lucky in those 15 minutes...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] TECCC:
is the latest nighlty from 2015 09 22 useable as daily driver ?

is the battery life better now ? the latest nightly i tested was in begin of september, but the battery life was to bad
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] someone8:
Ahhh, thanks! I will flash the recent nightly and do the same like you: waiting until the wifi connection to eduroam snaps (or the phone reboots) :rolleyes: I hope I will wait forever :fingers-crossed:

EDIT: I would argument that the WiFi issues are still fully not solved. After walking around in the university, the WiFi settings crashed, and it took a while until it reconnected to eduroam :crying:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] NRG-R9T:
I use the CM12.1 nightlies as a daily driver since july, but I'm comfortable on the bleeding edge of technology. It's like it is, not stable, but mostly. I dirty flash every other day the latest version and that seems to help also with random reboots. I'm not a developer.

as for the battery life I've found a solution I'd like to recommend to everybody on any 5.1.1 ROM. install this and you'll enjoy much less battery drain. turned off without Wifi I got a flat out battery life ( not more that 2% drain over night). install xposed and this fine little fix module: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/xposed-mobileradioactivefix-t3189393
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] someone8:
Cool, thanks. I will try that out (currently activated). And since you have xposed already installed now, you can also try out Amplify to block/limit the wakelocks, alarms, and services of Google Play Services, etc. (blocking NlpWakeLock and NlpCollectorWakelLock is free). FYI: I came across this issue/potential fix here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/27lf82/fix_for_nlpcollectorwakelock_that_does_not/

I have the feeling that my battery drain improved by doing this. But as always: subjective feeling... But even a placebo effect can make one feel better :victory:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] mcastagnaa:
Didn't notice any benefit I am afraid.

Amplify on the other end makes a difference.

On a different note, the worst issue I still have is on bluetooth devices not being recognised upon reboot. Which means you always have to pair them.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] too.stoopid:
Simple workaround for the BT bug:

Use an app like root browser and create a file (not a folder) in /data/etc/ and name it bluetooth_bdaddr

Set the permissions of the file to rw-r-r

Open the file as a text file and write an existing bluetooth address in there. To get one, just turn on bluetooth and take the one that gets created automatically.

Now reboot your phone and you have a fixed bt address that will no longer change.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] mcastagnaa:
It works!

You made my day [emoji1]
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] prinz.z:
Bluetooth and Wifi seem to be broken in recent nightlies, at least on my device.. Last working nightly is 2015-09-27.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] someone8:
I can confirm that for the WiFi... not even a single network showed up. Maybe related to this fix?

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] funiewski:
Thx [MENTION=4800636]OmarEinea[/MENTION], time for testing, need working phone every day, couldn't test earlier, nice if fota recovery works:)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rob rich:
Thanks [MENTION=4800636]OmarEinea[/MENTION], this is sooo great :)

Btw, are the 2 builds the same?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
It's the same build, I just re-posted about it after testing the new changes and I reorganized the changelog a bit more ;)

Regards,

Omar.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] nonyhaha:
quick question,

usuallly i used to flash cyanogenmod and gapps from within recovery. How can i flash gapps if i have no recovery?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rob rich:
Flash a kernel with recovery (for example from cm11), flash gapps, flash cm12 kernel again
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] jdstrydom:
It is my first foray into lollipop world,and boy was it worth it with this ROM. Flashed the ROM, pagapps nano 5 gapps, and when booted installed rashr apk. Then flashed the twrp IMG mentioned in the thread with rashr and newest supersu. I have not tested everything yet, but very pretty and fast so far. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in this.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] d3v1lm33:
Hello, i just downloaded the latest build and i confirm that WIFI, in call mic, audio is working, i also had no problem with wifi hotspot so far ! camera doesn't seem to work tho
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Mark Add:
Recovery

Great work guys! I just can't find recovery which works with this build. I have tried TWRP 2.8.1.0 recovery, but I canť flash it. Any tips? :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] nonyhaha:
Anybody having trouble routing music from sony walkman through bluetooth?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] jdstrydom:
Check post 111. Worked for me
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] funiewski:
In power menu - power off does not work.

You can not reach recovery by pressing vol+ only from reboot to recovery menu

I think it works to flash fota recovery through adb too,(not tested yet) not only with the earlier mentioned app, recovery works without problems

Edit :it takes very long time to make nand backup but it works
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] einfachgaer:
For some reason the notification led only blinks in white regardless of the setting. Also the low battery pulse is in white. Timing settings work though.

The correct color shows when plugged in to charge.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rob rich:
I think the color of the led is the latest thing which needs to be fixed :D :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] CrT乂雷神:
Recovery is working,I used 17/12 cm12 recovery to applied update 18/12
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] nonyhaha:
Regarding the issue I mentioned earlier, when i connect the phone to my car head unit - which is a sony mex bt3100 i think - i get the info on the head unit display, controls through the head unit work, i can skip track, but there is no sound coming out. It shows that the track is running, but no sound output...

I tried yesterday evening connecting the phone to a Bluetooth speakers set and it is working.

Anybody know of anything i could try to do to make it work with my car system?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
I remember a fix for a similar problem was made for KK ROMs by dev munjeni,

I'll try to include it next time as a probable fix for your problem :)

Regards,

Omar.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] AllAboutTech:
hi,

for camera fix i posted a workaround. it wasn't good for our device i suppose?

thank you and great work here, especially with CM12 and RR ROMs.

:good::good:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] AllAboutTech:
which camera application is working for this ROM? if anyone tried.

thank you in advance.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rob rich:
None
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] fadern:
I'm running 09-30 and no WiFi issues.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] lemon567:
Only get Wifi issues when using M5 Kernel. Kernel hasnt been updated with the latest cm commits hence the Wifi issues at least for me that is.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] someone8:
Well observed, [MENTION=5634533]lemon567[/MENTION]! I was flashing the M5 kernel by default after every CM update, but I forgot that he (or she?) depends on CM as well.

Without M5, the WiFi works indeed as a charm now! The phone can connect to different EAP WiFis without crashes. Awesome! Feels so gooood :victory: (almost like I would have a new phone :D)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] prinz.z:
I did not have m5 kernel, but WiFi and Bluetooth problem are solved with a more recent nightly.. (20151002)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] fadern:
Hi, I get a softreboot when I share a vcard from contacts. I guess you need logs, how do I get them?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Talkrabb:
20151006 still WiFi and Bluetooth problems.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] prinz.z:
Can confirm that, bluetooth & wifi just crashed while listening to music via bluetooth and even with a restart, bluetooth won't come back to life and wifi disconnects just after connecting :(
