nice thread tho' x)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
Hehehe.. ;)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jenova941:
Best Lollipop ROM I've tested yet for the Z1. Looking forward to even greater things, such as the implementation of custom navring shortcuts, lockscreen actions/shortcuts, a dark material theme, custom lockscreen widget support etc..

Bugs encountered so far (January 26 build):

1. Proximity sensor does not turn off the screen during calls.

2. Screen stops responding randomly to touch input every now and then (usually once every 15-30 minutes), but it starts responding normally again if the screen is locked and unlocked again.

Everything else I've tried seems to be working fine. :)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
1 - Not a problem in Mine, try Clean Install

2 - This seems to be issue with all LP ROMs wait for the next Awesome Update
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jenova941:
I did try a clean install, wiped everything (data + system + Dalvik + cache) twice before installing it. Same thing. :(

Oh, and there's another matter, which I'm not sure is the ROM's fault, but I'm mentioning it here just in case. :P Ever since flashing Candy5, the display seems to have become overly 'sensitive'. While on 4.4.4 (LiquidSmooth), I could type on it just fine even using wet fingers, but now it stops responding even if there's a tiny droplet of water anywhere on the screen. Is there any way you can desensitize the screen a bit to make it play nice with a little bit of water? :)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Papanik:
Wow, I guess the fastest LP ROM is here..! Thanks a lot!

Only bugs I have noticed with a day's use, the common ones:

- HD Video Playback

- Video Camera Recording
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
Next update will have Changes in TS
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] eddvys:
I haven't tested a better ROM than this, I thought it really hard to make a decision on many criteria... But then I met Candy5. Bugs are bugs they are everywhere. But the speed, smoothness, response is incredible, even my 2 year old grandpa goes like Bolt. Come on man, this is superb job @op. guys make sure to do fresh install, format system data etc dalvik you can even clean cache everytime you install like ROM gapps supersu. Best ROM į tested. Well done.

Also link is broken in Download section (:

why double-tap to wake mot work?????

please take a work double-tap to wake

thanks a lot
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
Because its Still not implimented in the Kernel
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] arminalvand:
What time is right?????????????????
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] nikc0069:
Might be stupid here but do we still need to fastboot flash the boot.img if the bootloader is unlocked? Not reflashed my phone for a while so might be a bit out the loop.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] baseline01:
No need if you're on the latest rev of CMW or TWRP. I'm using 2.7 at the moment and cleaned flashed directly from Slim 9.

Just bear in mind that A2DP isn't working atm.

Cheers.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
No ETA please
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] nikc0069:
Ah damn. A2DP is needed for the car. Will wait a little longer I think. Good work everyone involved though.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] steveeJ:
the slow charging phenomenon does not happen on this ROM (build 20150106), for all of those who may be interested! :thumbup:

a couple of options that haven't been mentioned but would be very nice to have:

- camera: save to sdcard

- hide persistent notifications (e.g. privacy guard) from lockscreen

thanks to the devs and the OP!
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] alex636:
You can hide persistent notifications from lockscreen... Long tap the notification then tap the "i" set option ... "show in lockscreen"
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] steveeJ:
I've seen these options, but

unfortunately that doesn't work for the mentioned "Privacy Guard active" notifications. they're created by "System Settings" which can't be configured in that way.

activate the privacy guard for any application, run that application and you'll get the notification. if you lock your phone now it'll be visible on the lockscreen too, unless you have the priority filter activated. I hope you'll see what I'm talking about, otherwise I can post screenshots.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
Guys candy5-RC.v0.9.5 Uploaded, Link as usual in OP and Here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934522507, Download the Latest one.

Also All links fixed and added a few in OP for Customization of Candy5, Happy Flashing
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] baseline01:
Full wipe from previous build?

I've flashed this and now gapps are all screwed (Play Store is nowhere to be found) and CMW errors out when I try to install Slim Gapps.

TIA.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
Im running it without any issues. Do a full wipe and check and for Gapps problem try this one http://xdaforums.com/slimroms/general/gapps-official-slim-gapps-trds-slimkat-t2792842
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] baseline01:
Damnit... I'm running those gapps yes.

It complains about the following right at the start of the flashing process:

"cannot load volume misc/"

TIA.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
its because ur using CM recovery, read OP about Fota recovery. Install that and do your flashing
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] baseline01:
Thanks mate, that was it :)

Took me a while to get a running windows box (been years since I've used one) but now everything is copacetic.

Cheers.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] evilc1:
Hi,

Have been reading many post on updating to 5.0x, and now got myself totally confused :confused: I have at the moment version 4.4.4 build 14.4.A.0.157, unlocked bootloader and twrp 2.8.3.0 and want to install Candy5, could you tell me the correct installation procedure for my existing setup.

tia,
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] eddvys:
[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] great job here. Question: when I flash your rom do we have to unzip your rom .zip and fastboot boot.img or no need for this?

---------- Post added at 06:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 AM ----------

Download rom extract it take boot.img flash it thru cmd on ur your computer using fastboot flash boot boot.img reboot and straight after reboot go to recovery wipe everything and install the rom. Good luck.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
Well the Procedure mentioned in OP is Standard but u can just flash from your Recovery just need to Wipe Everything including System. It Doesn't matter what is your previous ROM weather Stock or CM based.

And for updation of Previous Candy5 just Flash it over ur installed ROM with wipe Catche and Devlik.

Also FYI [MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] Candy5 supports MultiROM too
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jenova941:
Seems to be running smoothly on all counts, but why did you remove the Colour Calibration option from the Display settings? My display looks so dull now. ._. Please bring it back.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
Lol, its as per sources mate. But Kernel supports Colour Calibration. You can use any app for Example Fauxclock etc.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] evilc1:
Thanks for that but had same problem as baseline01 had, but for some reason the FOTO TWRP failed to install, it appeared to install but on opening was my old one. Will reinstall later when I have more time.

Thanks for your help.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] LoTableT:
I got slow charge....
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
This should not happen, ur doing something wrong
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
These are known issues of LP ROMs as i felt it initially only, just give it a week and calibrate your battery, The High Battery Consumption and Slow charging will go away. Also meantime you can switch off your phone and charge it, it will be faster.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jenova941:
I tried both FauxClock and KControl, but no controls of that kind are showing up. However, I went back to a nandroid backup of the January 26 release and installed FauxClock and KControl on it, and the colour calibration options show up inside both apps just fine. :/ I don't think the options are in the kernel anymore.

Can you please bring them back? ._.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Alx31:
Hum since that date i had some issues and reverted some commits on kernel, i will check to re enable them for next update...cuz that means it will be the same for validus also...u don't need to revert back whole thing, these are kernel feature so flash latest build and simply fastboot flash boot.img from last working one on top of it.

Cheers
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] kathanpatel1001:
Awesome ...!!!

Review after 24 hrs..

Installed rom from '0' yesterday.

Took Backup of TA,Unlocked Bootloader using Fastboot Command.. Success..!! :D

Booted in stock rom confirmed from service menu ,copied candy4.zip ,PA Pico gapps ,modem-3.0(As mine is C6902 version) ,Sweetner Pack V3.

Flashed boot.img extracted from candy5.zip usinf fastboot command.

Turned on phone ,holded PWR+Vol Down ,didn't go to recovery ,Tried again by hard rebooting phone PWR+Vol Up for 5 sec

This time tried By pressing PWR + Vol Down Don't hold Vol Down button Continuously press it .! Success :good:

Wiped everything in cm recovery except media.

Flashed Candy5.zip ,PA Gapps ,SuperSU. All smooth till now.

Tried flashing Modem-3.0.zip ,ERROR..!!

Then Tried Flashing Sweetner Pack V3.zip ,Error.!!

Figured out its something with CM recovery.

Booted in rom ,Startup time was same as 4.4.4 rom booting for first time.. Awesome :victory:

Best Risk Ever took...!!!! ROM is just awesome bro [MENTION=5618877]abbychauhan[/MENTION]

Let phone charge for a while ,turned phone off ,entered in fastboot again.

Did some research found fota twrp from [MENTION=3340721]funiewski[/MENTION] and tested by [MENTION=5618877]abbychauhan[/MENTION] so no doubt it will be working.

flashed it with fastboot as mentioned in the post.

Got into recovery same as CM recovery ,tried flashing Modem-3.0.zip ,Sweetner Pack V3.zip,, Sucess :fingers-crossed::highfive:

Everything Working ,also tried CM12 themes works like a charm. :good:

So far this things were problem to me:-

1) Front camera noise.

2) Discharge rate is more and charging rate is slow but acceptable not a concern to me.

3) Notification LED please make it bright ,hardly can see inside house forget to see it Outside.

4) screen adaptive brightness.

5) Proximity sensors during calls don't work.

Didn't find any serious BUG that stops you from using this ROM as your daily driver.

Thank you to all involved Developers AWESOME ROM...!!!!! :cowboy::highfive::D
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
1. Cant do anything about it, its like KK Roms only so I doubt it will be batter then this as AOSP ROMs lacks Post Processing of Pictures like SONY Camera App does. Try another Camera App to reduce Noise.

2. I had the issue about faster discharge on all LP ROMs but seems it takes time to stabilize as now i am running LP ROMs longer then weeks and battery is very good so give it some time.

3. Its been decided by CM team to keep it like that so unless there is changes from there side no one can do anything or have to compile there own kernel.

4. About brightness -- What?

5. I don't have that issue try do do a clean flash via TWRP Recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] nikc0069:
Is bluetooth ok on the latest builds? Probably the only thing stopping me moving over.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jenova941:
So I did that...and it knocked out my Wi-Fi completely. I can't even turn on Wi-Fi now, let alone connect to a hotspot. :\ Would really appreciate it if you fix this by the next update, and leave the colour calibration options in too. :)

Bluetooth seems to be working without issues on the February 3 build. :)

Yeah, the proximity sensor not turning the screen off during calls has been a problem for me too. And a clean flash didn't help either. :(
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] kathanpatel1001:
Same here did a clean install again with your [MENTION=5618877]abbychauhan[/MENTION] suggested twrp in op..
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] kentexcitebot:
This Rom is OK (Candy 5 version RC v0.9.5 build 02032015). After a few days of using this Rom...

- Ran into 1 random reboots

- Only 1 background service crashed

- Lollipop on Z1 YAYYY!!!

- Camera works, but horribly on apps other than stock. See gripe 4 and 5.

- Calling works. Sensors detect when you put the phone in ear and turns off screen.

- Fast

- Pretty good Ram management

- Bluetooth works

- Network fine for C6903. On T-Mobile Prepay. No special radio flashing required.

-Casting works

-Video Playback OK, codecs working.

- Audio is good

-

The gripes I have with this Rom are these:

1. Notification light is extremely dim. This is my main concern. I can't tell if a notification arrived or when my battery is dying. Please fix this one ASAP! (This is Kernel specific since the Dim notification light is present in Recovery as well.)

1a. Adaptive Brightness. At random, the screen goes really dim. If I turn the slider all the way down, it turns off my screen and I can't see anything! I had to restart the phone to see the screen again. Could be something wrong with the Approx. sensor or that functionality is broken. Not sure....

2. No pie controls built in but I was able to install it through Google play.

3. No Xreality, but that's normal for unlocked bootloader. I saw Bravia Engine 2 could be ported to CM11 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2358793. Will it work on this Rom (and this phone since the mod is for Arc)?

4. Camera takes about 7 secs to start after app opens. Frequent message that says "Camera error" or "Camera not responding". Tested with Camera360. The stock app is fine, but there's no features.

5. Candy doesn't support 16MP 16:9 ratio for all Camera apps. It has 8MP option with 16:9 but top and bottom of the picture is cropped by several pixels

6. NFC broken. I can't beam at all. Can't receive or transmit.

7. Double Tap to Wake Broken.

8. I was hoping for Hover, but oh well. I have a GP app that gives me that back.

9. See screenshot.

Verdict: Somewhat stable Rom. It has a lot of features that CM12 doesn't offer and it's quite fast. However, it's not suitable for daily use, at least for me because I depend on NFC, notification LED is just too dim, I always set adaptive brightness but it's mostly hit and miss, and the camera issue is still pretty bad like CM12 (but this Rom based on CM12 so nothing much you can do). I'm still using this ROM as of this post for testing reasons, but I might switch back to stock Sony soon. I Rate this 7/10.

That aside, GREAT JOB! ;)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] kentexcitebot:
One very big issue: the battery charges slow, like REALLY slow. At 30% it says it'll fully charge in 20 hours. And in 15 minutes of charge, only 1% increase. Charging it into a 1.1A charger. Something is up with the kernel...because this didn't happen on stock ROM (charges in 4 hours or a little more).
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jenova941:
Same here, used the latest TWRP.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Alx31:
test build is on the way, i will upload it overnight and later this week i will add some goodies to kernel...u know where to find the build or wait Abby brings back the link.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
Guys Candy5 Release.v1.0.0 OFFICIAL Uploaded, Link as usual in OP and Here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934526200, Download the Latest one.

As Alex says.. Flash dat S**T ;)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jenova941:
Running 1.0.0. :) So far it's been great, definitely stable enough to be a daily driver, and I'm loving the addition of the new goodies. However:

1. Proximity sensor is NOT turning off the screen during calls. And this time I even went the extra mile by going for a clean install yet again (wiped data + system + cache + Dalvik, not once, but twice), but the screen continues to remain on during calls unless I manually hit the power button to lock the screen.

2. Colour calibration options are not back yet. :'(

3. Touchscreen seems to have stopped freezing up randomly every now and then, hasn't yet happened since the fresh installation of 1.0.0. However, the screen still appears to be hypersensitive to water, and even a single droplet of water on the screen makes the screen stop responding entirely unless I lock the phone and wipe the screen dry. It would be great if you can fix this, because it wasn't so sensitive when it was running KK, the screen responded fine to touch unless it was almost totally drenched in water. :\

4. There is no option to safely unmount an attached USB flash drive (connected via OTG) from the Storage settings, where only the external SD card is listed.

And here are a few feature requests for your kind consideration:

1. Customizable navring targets (Vanir already seems to have done this beautifully)

2. DPI changer

3. Dark material theme

4. Custom lockscreen widget support

Looking forward to checking out the next build! :)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
Bugs Accepted, Feature Request Not Accepted

1. Its not a Bug, just go to Settings - Display Settings - there is a Setting for Proximity Sensor just change it.

2. Wait for Alex to fix his Kernel

3. CM bug, btw i use Glass Screen Protector and its working awesome

4. Again CM issue, Not available on any LP roms except Slim LP. Wait for the CM team to add it.

Ok now about requests, well Candy5 or any other ROM are not just for our devices they are Global, to add a feature in a ROM needs a lot of work to do and have to be done on all the Devices and had to be finally approved by the Team then only it can be added.

Wait sooner or later we will have everything
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
And about request 2 - u can always edit the Build Prop

3 - Not gonna be possible as It conflicts with Theme Engine

4 - Its already available Check in Security Settings
