[MENTION=5862263]karamancho[/MENTION] (or anyone else)

It seems like you recently installed the ROM? Can you give me some guidance in how to achieve that too?

I installed stock 236 with Sony Companion yesterday, because I struggled to get Xperifrim and Flashtool to create the correct FTF-File. Stock 236 runs smoothly now.

Next step: root and dual recovery. Please keep in mind that I want to keep the BL locked.

I downloaded dualrecovery from its home page and when I follow the install.bat I choose option 3 (install on unrooted Lollipop with xperiaRoot) but it fails telling me android 5.1.1. is not supported

I then searched xda for at least one working root tool but failed.

Basically I need root and recovery first.

Any help is heavily appreciated!!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
There's no root tool for 5.1. You can use Kingroot, and change to SuperSU, or unlock bl and root with fastboot. Backup ta before unlocking bl.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] edwardenglish:
Ok I figured that out 2 hours ago and installed KingRoot.

Root went Ok, but as I see it Kingroot managed a systemless root only (I cant apply any adblocker).

I tried to switch to SuperSU with an app called supersume but it didn't work telling me write=protected, KingRoot remains.

I then tried a script I found on xda to replace king root with superSU using terminal emulator but that failed to, giving me errors.

Basically I remain with KingRoot for now. How do I proceed? Basically it would be enough if one could tell me on how to install custom recovery so that I can install the ROM.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
You can install xzdr with Kingroot, then you can download a prf, and boot to recovery, wipe system, and flash prf.

[MENTION=6283426]levone1[/MENTION]

thank you for your quick advice, I just installed to ROM and on the first looks its very nice =)

what helped me get there:

1. install stock 5.1.1. with sony companion

2. install KingRoot and let it obtain root

3. download NUT Recovery from homepage and run the install.bat on a windows machine, select the first option (Install it on a xperia device with SuperSU)

4. grand ADB root priveliges in KingRoot (since SuperSU is not installed and I wasn't able to exchange KingRoot for SuperSU)

5. as soon as Nut Recovery is installed I was able to go into TWRP and install the ROM according to instructions in first post

Bootloader still locked =)

EDIT

one last question:

how do I install xposed framework? I read it could brick the device. Should I just flash the zip from here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 ? I ask because I would like the battery with % percentage shown... thank you!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk22/arm/

I don't know if I would flash Xposed just for battery %, but up to you.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] edwardenglish:
Is there any other way for battery in % ?

O_O

btw just updated superSU and ran into boot loop :crying: found the post where someone said not to update. had no kernel backup

install again...:eek:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] DeadXperiance:
Don't update SuperSU. reflash SuperSu-2.78

You can flash Xposed zip from above link given in levone1's post. It takes long time to boot after flash Xposed so be cool.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] edwardenglish:
thanks for the advise!

I just realized that if the device is locked the % are shown on lockscreen. only when unlocked they are not. I think I can live with that and avoid xposed.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] firestone9x:
Hey Guys

A quick question?

Has anyone noticed an unusual drop in battery level after 45%. The battery declines faster after this percentage.

And if I surf the net or use the phone heavily it goes down to 0 from 45% in 30 mins approximately.

It's been months since I've installed SP007 from the stock ROM and I've not come across this issue with stock.

I would be happy to hear some feedback since two possible reasons could be the ROM is causing a decline in battery life (which I hope is not the case) or my battery is dying (since the phone is 3 years old).

Update:

- I have also tried deleting batterystats (this doesn't work at all)

- I performed a clean flash of the ROM according to the instructions given
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
Battery is dying. If you made it 3 years before seeing that, you got the best battery out there. Usually starts around 1 1/2 - 2 years.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] tau45:
Wow, I thought it happens for me only :) I notice it when I play GTA:SA. If I quit the game with 5-10% and use some apps, it sometimes drops to 0 in a minute ;) I thought that the software is faulty and it is displaying wrong percentage.

I consider replacing my 2,5 years old battery but what if I didn't feel the difference? :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] firestone9x:
Thanks for the reply. I guess that's the end of my phone then. :crying:

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------

Haha. Same.

You have a valid point though, that's exactly what I thought. I really like my phone but in my opinion replacing the battery in an old phone is not justifiable.

The waterproof sealing would also get damaged so I'd I would go with a new one.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
You can get it new on eBay for less than $100. I've already gone through two. There's no better phone for it's size, except maybe Z3c. I don't know if I'll get another or not, but maybe... Testing out XA now...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] tau45:
I think about staying with current battery and replacing it later and you want a new phone? :D

I still wait for a Sony phone which will be worth to upgrade and I consider staying with Z1C for another 1-2 years if it still works as good as now. The only reason I didn't replace the battery is because the battery cover is sticked and I'm not sure if a new battery would be original or fake.

@up: are those Hong Kong/China/Vietnam/Signapore cheap smartphones as good as original phones from normal stores? What about warranty?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] firestone9x:
Yea. I think I found one. Dirt cheap.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Bat...650556&hash=item2373956062:g:IwcAAOSwMgdXwyzI

When you changed the battery did you have to replace the waterproofing seals? How did that go?

Woah two batteries already. You must be a really heavy user. How long did your battery last on a full charge? (like before and after replacing)

And I completely agree, Z1C is amazing for the specs, I can't find a suitable replacement till now :p I think even the XA is quite good.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
Never replaced a battery. I replaced the phone. After 1St battery started dying, I donated it to one of my favorite devs who had stopped developing Z1c because of no phone. My second one is starting to go now. Not sure what I'll do...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Rafaru:
I had same issue , I brought it to a dealer , yesterday they called , no issue with battery , seems some software issue instead , I will go back to previous ROM version
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] firestone9x:
If you are restoring to stock could you update me if it has resolved the issue?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Rafaru:
Hi firestone , I was on SP007 , I have just installed SP008 so not really used it , but with SP007 battery at 100% phone stated 22 hours , now in SP008 with battery at 70 % phone says 1 day + 18 hours , hope remains so !!!!

Now i flashed batteryfix because it was not included in SP008....Kernel Adiutor says now 2300 instead of 3000mAh but charging is again slow.

No quickcharge supported with this ROM or what?

Come on, what does the `Ampere App` tell you guys? It take ages to charge the phone with original charger and docking station \ usb port !!!

I searched, didn't find it. There was a post saying it's in the first post, but it has probably been edited out if it was ever there.

Does someone still have it somewhere?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] the gladiator:
I'm on SP008 but 1) I'm having freezes (sometime, let's say once every 2/3 days), 2) I'm not a fan of the caller and 3) first of all, my gps doesn't work with apps other than Gmaps and Waze (I'm a runner and I use RunnerUp or similar apps), not even with Gps Status.

I'd need in any case a factory reset. I wonder, reading the previous pages, if could be well worth to test SP005. Anyone could share experiences about SP005 release? A comparison SP005/SP008 would be the top!

Lastly, is somewhere a change log?

PS a huge thank you to jasmineloveflower for sharing the SP005 link !

Hi,

I Just installed this rom and have the same problem with gps. Did you solved the problem? For me it's working with nothing. (but When i used it for the first time Last sunday it was working. Not anymore. So i think it's from an other apps but which one.. i Will check all apps one by one and hope it Will résolve the problem).

Except this problem everything is OK and better than stock rom :)

Edit : for me it's a hardware problem, was got no problem except this gps on this rom. I used it no much times but it was much better than my last 2 years with stock rom.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] the gladiator:
Just a quick answer to say that:

- the freezes I was mentioning were due to a faulty sd card; I replaced the sd card and no more freezes now

- still dealing with the gps issue (I'm on sp005 now but is exactly the same compared to gps as sp008). I'm about to finish my tests and I'll post here the outcome; if I won't be able to fix gps I'll go back to stock rom or to CM: I cannot afford to stay without (or with a lazy) gps
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Viznu93:
Can u share the links to stock rom or cm 14.1 ?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] ajp_anton:
So does anyone still have a link to the battery fix?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] the gladiator:
Because of the size of a stock rom it would be difficult for me to upload it but the procedure it's straightforward:

- you can download your preferred stock fw using XperiFirm

- from the fw you can build the tft file with this procedure

- with this tft file and PRFCreator you can build your stock pre-rooted rom

I'm not interested in cm 14.1: I was referring cm 12.1 available here https://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z...neageos-12-1-z1c-current-sec-patches-t3614936

---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

I have here a battery fix that should be associated with SP005 but:

- I don't remember where I get it from

- based on the old posts related to sp005 I haven't understood what is it for and from I've read it's not mandatory

- I now have sp005 without the battery fix and I don't have any problem related to the battery

If you can add some additional information about the battery fix please share with us your knowledge

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Vegan1:
It corrects the display of the actual capacity of the battery, for example, in the kernel auditor. And also adds a gloved mode.

Maybe something else, I do not remember anymore.

P.s.: sorry for the bad language.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] the gladiator:
I still have problems with gps: I tried everything possible including many gps.conf configurations but the best I could have is a fix in around 10 minutes.

I hope it's a software issue and to confirm that I'll go back to stock rom .236; I'll post here how it goes.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] inforza:
I was got the same problem with my phone. I unlocked the bl and after this gps was inactive.

After many try, i tried to install with option "z1 compact locked".

And now it's more or less ok (fix after 10-20sec, many lost connections during 1 or 2 sec but it's ok for use waze for example, just complicated when there are many directions in few times).

Hope it can be helped you in your problem.

Probably it's thanks to the luck but we never know ...

Any chance we can have "play hi-res audio via usb" ported from z3/z3 compact?

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] a1b2c3901:
There is a thread about this in Sony Cross-Device General(Here), but it seems that no one care about it.

If you really want to listen to hi-res audio, I recommend Rockbox. Its sound quality is perfect, and it's able to play hi-res audio.

As for USB output, you may try USBAudioRecorderPRO. it seems to be able to play music via USB according to a review I read. I don't know if it works on Z1C because I don't have a DAC to test it.

Hoping these can help you.:)

I had this issue too (and I'm in France so not related to country I guess) :

- I've removed all my APN

- searched for networks and registered on my carrier : 3G F SFR

- recreated all my APN following my carrier website for the informations

- then you would be able to download the settings for Internet and MMS

- Finally follow FIX 4G PROBLEMS in OP - you don't need to edit build.prop, it's working without :)

- Hope I'll be fixed, but I can't remember if I've done something more :p

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] casiocas:
Hey!

You can try the network search MANUALLY and look what it gives you, then use the right one. Maybe it solves you problem.

OR edit your APN manually. Just search your PROVIDER APN settings from net and edit them.

1) Make new APN

2)Edit right setting

3) Save them

4) Now use your new APN(thick the new maked APN)

DONE!

So I installed this rom and its the first time I see the Z3 UI .. its so the same but so much better looking, love the bigger icons.

also love that the 120FPS camera is already in, IMHO its a bit debloated too much, but everything can be downloaded from the Play Store anyway.

Ill let the ROM settle for few hours before to see how is the battery life with stamina mode.

Tasks for someone to fix

Guys, I have a planning to divide tasks for someone. Because, I can't fix at all about bugs and It's difficult to fix during I'm on basic. I'm very tired again and need to rest in 4 days and I'll work other things besides my ROM. So, I'll let you to someone must do a task to fix bugs and tell other developers who known in coding. For, someone who got bugs for example, WiFi problem, Bluetooth unlocking not work and Let's tell other devs like henry chip and other to fix them. and also someone find a problems and help me to fix things. Okay ?

This is my command and I'll work other thingss besides my ROM until I have a plan to update. Okay ?

Hey!

Sorry, dont get you. What you mean 3h30 and 24h batt(dose you mean, if you screen is on like 3h and 30min, then you have left like 24h or......)?

I will try it out some day soon and reporting back.

Do you activated in DstrikerZ1 settings/Performance control/CPU Advance/Multicore Power Saving and turn it on(then it tryes to hold prosseses in one core as much is possible). Ofcourse you lose little performance, but if you not playing have games or use multiple apps in same time, I think it will be NO PROBLEM(you even dont notice this, but it uses less battery).
