Hi and thanks for you work. I have one quick question. Could you please build a classic TWRP image from CM sources for special boot to recovery enabled bootloaders for Sony? I would really appreciate this as I won't install any custom ROMS without persistent recovery. And FOTAKernel recovery isn't persistent since boot.img has to me modded in order to work. Thanks a lot.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
I didn't get what you need it for and how is it different from the TWRP images out there!

can you explain more?

Regards,

Omar.

I think he means this:

http://fxpblog.co/2015/05/01/finally-boot-to-recovery-enabled-in-special-bootloaders-from-sony.html

Images out there are for FOTA-partition. Now, with new bootloader by Sony, we have a Recovery partition. :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] :
The new bootloader also uses FOTAKernel as a recovery partition AFAIK
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] funiewski:
But you can't boot to recovery using power + vol down method using existing fota twrp builds

Hey guys, i have a problem with offline charging.. If the phone is turned off and the wall-charger is plugged in, the screen stays awake (black but backlight is on).. I've updated from cm12. Is it a known bug?

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Syssx:
As [MENTION=4423274]o-l-a-v[/MENTION] already explained I meant this : http://fxpblog.co/2015/05/01/finally-boot-to-recovery-enabled-in-special-bootloaders-from-sony.html , basically you need a classic recovery image build staright from the sources for this to work. Those FOTAKernel recovery images doesn't work properly when you want to boot to recovery using vol down+power (you still need modded boot.img to boot into it).

Thanks.

a reboot will fix the video bug for a while. but if it occurs again the a reboot is needed. i only use CM builds because of the camera quality. if i go to some trip then i install CM11 in this case. generally i use stock sony 4.3 jelly bean. i m really disappointed that no developer has made or found fix for this video bug. As i have already mentioned that this bug is present in every build for every device. this bug stops many of us to use the CM as our daily driver. i request to any of the developers to contribute and pls try to fix this bug.

Hi.

I'm thinking about buying the Z1 compact, but tell me is the camera quality as good as stock on this cyanogenmod or other custom roms?

As I currently have the LG L90 and after update to cyanogenmod the camera quality is way way worse.?

And is it all working on this rom?

Please Answer...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] luckyrumo:
Several functions in the image processor need keys and the Sony framework. The keys are deleted when you unlock the bootloader (though you can backup them), the framework is only in stock based roms.

Hence cm and other non-stock roms can never have the same camera quality as stock rom.

Is anyone getting enormous battery drain with enabled Wi-fi (on CM 12.1 Nightly 21|22 June) ?

8 hours of sleep (with screen turned off) and I get about 20% battery drain. Wakelock detector show active time 30% (of 8 hours) while the wakelocks itself is only about 2-3 minutes in total. I really can't understand how to find the battery consuming application in that case, because everything is seems to be normal.

Hi

It has been mentioned in this thread before, but I don't think it got much attention.

The rom does not use the wifi or bluetooth mac, it uses a fixed (wifi) or random (bluetooth) mac. And it changes the bluetooth one everytime it restarts (restart phone or bluetooth).

This is a big problem for me, and I can't seem to find a workaround or a fix.

Since there were a lot of bluetooth-related issues fixed before, maybe this was introduced in one of them.

Does anyone has old 12.1 builds (before May 2015) so that I can download and test? Or even better, does anyone with an older build installed can check the mac addresses?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Syssx:
Yeah this holds me back form using CM12. Looks like a lot of people has reported this but it still didnt got fixed yet.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] prinz.z:
I've done further observations on the charging problem. It seems that the phone refuses to recharge if it is too warm. When using it for directions in the car for example on a really warm day, it does not charge (but displays the charging symbol). In the morning when it is cold in the car, it works. After an android version update, phone is warm and refuses to recharge, when I wait some minutes, it works again.

I'm not sure if it's like this all the time and I don't understand why the phone is hot more often recently, but it is very annoying and started with the 5.1 update I guess.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:
nah. my device had problems with dock charging during the night - minimum heat, minimum cpu speed. tested dock-charging during the day and had the same stop on 82-83%. at the same time, charging on computer USB cable and it's nicely going to 100%. furthermore, with ebay magnetic cable on same place and in same condition as on dock during the night - voila, 100%. suppose different cables handles voltages differently.

anyway, i'm charging during the night, same as before, but not using dock - instead using a magnetic cable and everything's fine.

except one time - 0630 nightly. stopped at 83% - on magnetic cable. **** my pants. flashed the earlier nightly (0629) and charged to the 100%. flashed 0701 the next day and everything's fine since then. something was wrong with 0630, hell knows what, but also the cables plays an important role at least for my device.

EDIT: tried dock charger during the night out of curiosity and its still the same: by the morning it got stuck at 82%.

so i took and old LG P990 usb cable which i'm using for computer-phone connection and which manages to charge the phone to the 100% - plugged it into dock charger and leave it for an hour: charged fully. so its not dock, its not the charger itself, its phone and cable combo.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] prinz.z:
Although it sounds similarly annoying, it is somehow different to my problem. First thing: in my case it is working up to 100% or not working at all. Second thing: it is sometime working, sometimes not working, using the same cables / chargers. Recently, it is working better btw, maybe latest update or just luck :)

Can I install using CM Installer ?

I am asking as the CM installer uses only Stable Snapshots listed officially by CM.

If no, then please let me how to proceed. I am currently on CM11 and can get into recovery. Is the procedure same as the normal flashing of the ".zip" ?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:
if you can use recovery, be a man, go ahead :D remember for upgrading to new iteration (CM11 -> CM12) it's suggested to wipe data in recovery before proceed with flashing, therefore go with clean installation.

get fresh nightlies here & gapps here (you can use whatever gapps you prefer, just keep in mind to use gapps for 5.1).

what kind of recovery? bear in mind that old recoveries could get into trouble, so try to have a recent one. here is nice twrp build for amami.

i'm using nightlies for half a year now, from time to time there is some glitch but nothing big really. totally usable as a daily driver.

not related but i fully recommend, there's awesome M5 kernel for growing range of xperias, built by devs around here.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] bynge:
Installed it yesterday and it is smooth and stable. I loaded all my apps back from Playstore, instead of keeping an older version from sdcard backup.

The entire OS is super smooth, with a better intuitive UI and is evidently a "progress" in Android history.

Kudos folks !

P.S. There is one bug while using Whatsapp. If you go in to use camera directly from a chat, the screen becomes blank/black. The screen is on all the buttons work as it supposed.to, just that is not visible. The navigation buttons, camera button, tick, cross button, all work. Meaning you can still send a pic without any issues if you know the layout of whatsapp well. The screen becomes normal when I hit back/home/menu.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:
settings/devoper options, turn on disable hw overlays, but you will have to do that after every reboot as far as i remember.

The problem is that it doesnt find ANY media files: no pictures (neither on internal nor on external sd), no music and even no ringtones. I can add the pre-installed ringtones using a file manager but the internal ringtone selector doesnt show anything. If I add a ringtone by hand, it works until media scanner runs again, at which point the selected ringtone disappears again and no ringtone is played, also no alarm or anything which is pretty annoying. Any ideas?

EDIT: ok, sorry for alarm, problem solved...the external sd was corrupted and somehow prevented media scanner from even scanning internal storage. After removing external sd everything is working.

Sorry for the double post, I can't edit, but, one more question.

Why is it unofficial if there is links to the cyanogen website in the description. I am a bit lost with this. :S
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] rzlatic:
stagefright issue is already fixed - https://plus.google.com/+CyanogenMod/posts/7iuX21Tz7n8

regarding "unofficial" tag, well i guess its because first few builds in the thread were really unofficial and built by thread author. later the build went officially built by CM jenkins build server. also, there is no official amami maintainer following the thread, only a few contributors and a bunch if us, users, so you cannot expect any official feedback. therefore "unofficial" tag, i guess.

It would be nice if our Z1C would be able to boot to TWRP directly. See in link above I described on the bottom of the post the issue, that always shut down and key combo is needed to boot to TWRP because CM12.1 seems to "force" using their own CWM or the FOTA one. Might it be possible to add a check if recovery partition is installed so that recovery on this will also be able to boot directly from CM12.1?

That is possible to restore DRM keys on unlocked bl and stock based roms, there is a thread about it in Sony cross development section, people says picture quality is same as with locked bl after. So stock camera quality is better than custom both with locked and unlocked bl

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
Go for official builds, this thread was meant to provide the latest version of CM before it's officially supported for our device by providing unofficial builds.

This happened twice only I guess :o, when CM switched from 11 to 12.0 and when they switched from 12.0 to 12.1,

And so the thread turned into an unofficial CM discussion thread.

That's why unofficial builds are so old and out-dated, because there's no need for them to be updated when we have official nightlies ;)

Omar.
