A couple of things I've noticed after using it today.

First, if the phone's screen had been off a while, and I suppose then it's in deep sleep, and someone rings, the caller ID picture only shows the default blank pic. If you receive a call while the phone is awake, or hasn't had the chance to go back into deep sleep, the caller ID pic displays correctly.

The second thing I've noticed is if you clear all recent apps, then press it again, it will show some recent android core processes as if they were an app you were running. For example, I was writing a text, and added a word to my dictionary. After I cleared the messaging app from recents, and pressed recent again, the window with me adding the word to the dictionary appeared as a recent app. Not a major issue at all, but it's not behaviour you would expect after clearing all recent apps.

Just thought I'd give some feedback. Hopefully it will help the ROM develop, because its brilliant.

If I come across anything else, I'll post it for ya.

The second one is Lollypop issue from Google side and present on all Lollypops need to be solved by google itself.

Hi

Can i install sony social camera on this rom? anybody tried this?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] MickieH:
If there's no recovery included, how can I update to the newest version?

Sorry if I'm asking stupid questions, but I've only just unlocked my bootloader after years of having only locked bootloader devices.

Any suggestions as to a kernel I can fastboot which includes a recovery so I can flash this update?

Thank you so much.

Problem solved.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ekanix20:
Everything is working well on latest version, thank you so much!
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] MickieH:
Video recording and playback is good.

YouTube issue resolved.

Nice work.

Is it just me or were you able to stop the home screen from scrolling on the last version?

I can't find it now.

The only thing I miss is the Sony camera. Nothing to do with this ROM, but you can't half tell the difference in noise reduction especially, and the front camera quality is much lower. Again, nothing to do with this ROM, its obviously Sony's processing algorithms.

I love this ROM and I'm sticking with it.

Are you going to be adding in more customisation like you had on SlimKat? I mean like Pie controls and whatnot?

Oh, just noticed. The led notification light is very dim on charging, and incoming notifications, and custom colours don't seem to work anymore either.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] ekanix20:
The low led light is in all recent lollipop Roms, it is a change in the kernel that makes it dim. We will have to wait and see if it gets fixed!
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] MickieH:
Ahh, Ok, thanks.

The LED was working fine when I was running the release from 26th of January.

Must be a kernel change then.

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

Thought I'd try and see.

Fastbooted the previous version kernel and charging/notification lights were working properly again, BUT WiFi no longer turns on, so back to the newer kernel.

I'd rather have working video record and playback than brighter lights, plus, it's good for me to experiment with this unlocked bootloader stuff, I'm still learning.

[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] I installed your rom and now my memory card is gone. I can see in settings option to mount SD card but nothing happens when I do that. If I remove SD card phone can see that card was removed but if I put it back phone can't see it. I tried to mount it in twrp but no luck. Done clean install of another rom and still doesn't work. Advice? SD card class 10 32gb
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] MickieH:
What format is your memory card?

I have a 64Gb class 10 formatted FAT32 and it works fine.

I could be wrong, but I don't think exFat is supported.

I did have some issues with media scanner going nuts on the previous release, but I sorted that by dumping the SD to hard drive, reformatting it in the phone, and only putting back on it what I really wanted via USB cable. Its surprising the junk you collect.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] hlaube:
I can not confirm Problem with sd-card. Just installed ontop of previous Version, just cleand cache and dalvik. W-lan works, sd-card works.

I am impressed as allways with the quallity of this Rom.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] GENiU5:
exFAT not supported by AOSP Based ROMs

Hi eddvys

I too have similar issues with my 64GB Class 10 SD Card. All ROMS based off of AOSP will give you similar issues. ROMS based off of CM will support exFAT. So your options will be as MickieH suggested to backup the data and reformat it through the phone. Downfall being it will be formatted in FAT32 and will have some limitations on the size of files you can copy and I found that the speed reduced for file writes/reads from computer to memory card. I have been searching for a solution from a long time... but not getting any... :rolleyes: Hope someone can suggest a fix to use exFAT format memory cards on AOSP ROMS through some patch or something...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] eddvys:
I format the card using FAT32 and yes to you all it works but extremely slow speeds copying and writing and sometimes .zips get lost also as other files. That's not good at all. But at least it works.

Noob question : Regarding recovery

I seem to have lost recovery after flashing . What do i do now to get recovery back? Everything else works fine so far.

Do i flash another kernel with recovery please point me the way(BTW tried the dual recovery did not work)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] peddarson:
Enable Advanced reboot in the developer settings. Then you can enter the recovery via the reboot menu.

Or search for recovery solution in these forums...

[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] super noob bros:
Great. This Rom works really well. The only problem I found was that opening the camera app can sometimes cause the phone to lag and the camera app displays "cannot connect to camera". This can be fixed by rebooting the phone.

Hi!

I am using your resurection remix rom, it's great!

But is there any noticeable differences between SlimLP, resurection remix and AICP?

Thank you!
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
Customizing ability differs, that's about all,

Slim seeks for stability and ... well obviously being slim (and that means less features)

RR and ACIP include a lot of features, you'll have to test them both and see which one is better (cuz it's use specific ;))

Thank you for your answer!

Even though I have another one question :)

Which of them will get more frequent updates or will be your main focus rom?

Sorry for my bad English :(
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
Updating frequency is team related, every team has his was of releasing new updates,

so Slim releases a weekly every week and a stable every 10 weeks or so,

RR a release every week or sometimes less,

AICP a Nightly everyday and a stable every.... well when they decide ;)

I adore this rom so far - massive props to the OP! Good work!

Only one issue at the moment, I can't mount any sdcard? The os notices when you remove one but both options to Mount or Erase under Storage do nothing.

The really weird thing is that it works in TWRP perfectly, so it must be the rom, right?

I gave this a go too, with no success: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/solution-rid-sd-card-lollipop-d855-32gb-t2937328 - just says 'loaded file_contexts from file_contexts'.

Tried this with my 64gb sdxc and a 32gb to make sure, both working in other phones (and recovery). Any one else?? :(
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jackfacespoon:
32GB started working after a reboot - 64GB still not mounting. but mounts fine in different Android phones and in the Z1 in recovery...

[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
Slimrom is good on other devices. So, perhaps these problems have to do with Z1 maintainer. I suggest you try this version of Slimrom, which in addition is more secure:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z1/development/slimlp-hardened-secure-built-modified-t3035095
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
I see,

the problem is that slimroms team is having some difficulties atm, so I can't do anything about these problems until slimroms is up and working again (as you all know),

if anyone is interested in an unofficial build with the same bugs but supposedly "more secure" one,

feel free to try this guy's build, he seems angry at me because I reported his thread, so it'd be nice to give him some support (maybe he'll forgive me xD)

Regards,

Omar.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jackfacespoon:
Yep, noticed that after I posted the bugs, which is why I haven't pestered more about it ;)

I was hoping a smaller patch for mounting sdxc's or something would be easy for those in the know (unlike me), but I doubt it's high on your list of priorities!!

Still not really sure what the issue with Slim Team is, it's all a bit vague...

If these changes are at Kernal level, do I need the flash the rom at all? It's still the same version of Slim so I would have assumed that flashing the boot.img would be enough here?

Then again, from my experience, assumption is what bricks devices...

Huh? When I go here, http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/1153-honami , it says 2015-02-17.

Is that a problem with Slimrom website/team? Or is that when OP post was updated?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] jackfacespoon:
Looks like the OP has been updated (I don't think it had the 'SlimLP...original features' section before, and some of them aren't on the ROM itself), but no new download, so I'm assuming there's just an update in the works.

:)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
The "Last update" you're referring to means the last update of the thread it self (I updated the picture to a nicer one on that date ^_^)

so it's not related at all to ROM updates ;)

[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Kacha13:
First off, great ROM and thanks for the effort!

I noticed two things while using the ROM.

1) The battery usage seems higher than with the KitKat version of SlimRom. It seems that the system tries to keep the phone awake for some time and uses quite some CPU time too.

2) I had two crashes now with exactly the same setting. I tried to click on the Wlan button in the pulldown menu and it didn't respond. When I turn off the screen and turn it on again, it is exactly the same, no lock screen. If I turn it off and on after that, it is black and at some point, the phone reboots automatically. I think it has something to do with roaming, but I'm not sure. In both cases I was out of the previously connected AP, but there were APs with the same SSID in range. I will try to reproduce it later, when I move again.

Edit: Checked it again and it was the same. Going out of range seems to kill Wifi.

Edit 2: It seems to be a problem with the Wifi configuration. The setting of the problematic Wifi uses WPA2 Enterprise and 802.X with RADIUS.

Edit 3: Battery drain seems also partly related to Wifi. The phone does not go into deep sleep. I checked with Wakelock Detector what causes the problem and found mainly three kernel events, event0, event3 and event4. These being mhl-rcp (event0), gpio-keys(event3) and qpnp_chg_unplug_key(event4). Interestingly enough, they only get to a large number of wakelocks when Wifi is on. If Wifi is deactivated it is much less. I deleted all of the three events in /dev/input, which helped quite a bit, but of course, I lost the functionality of my hardware buttons in response (event3). I'm not entirely sure what the other events are for. As of now, I don't see any missing functionality. Somebody knows more?

After that the main events that caused wakelocks where PowerManagerService.WakeLocks, alarm, bam_dmux_wakelock, qcom_rx_wakelock and radio-interface. Depending if I used Wifi or mobile data. They still seem pretty high. If I look into the battery settings, they keep the system awake roughly over 20% of the overall time, which in my opinion is too high. Alarm seems to use quite some CPU time, but that is one App I need to check. All my other Apps are restricted, none of those can keep the device awake or wake it up. Which could explain the high value for PowerManagerService.WakeLocks as that service seems to manage wakelocks. Restricting background data for some Apps can also help in reducing the time the device is awake. With all this I achieved a bit less battery drain, but still way higher than on KitKat.

All in all, I have to say that there is quite a lot messed up in Lollipop. I'm wondering, are there any kernels/ROMs that can solve the issue to some extend?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Diewi:
Hello everyone,

I recently built a new version of SlimLP that I wanted to share with you (alpha 0.4). The sources are round about 3 weeks old. I did not sync in between for not pulling in bugs that were not present in my test build. I have performed some modifications and update at the kernel side and the device tree.

The kernel modifications include:

- Intelliactive governor (from faux' nexus 5 kernel).

- Intelliplug hotplug driver (also from faux' nexus 5 kernel).

- Wifi driver (prima) updated to v3.2.3.189 from caf git. In contrast to v3.2.3.185 (prev. default) no modifications to the source were required to compile and wifi battery drain seems to have improved.

Device tree modifications were performed to catch up with cm's device tree, hence enabling less work in device maintenance in future (lacks integration in SlimRom sources, as device trees of other devices (amami etc.) need to be touched as well). After some more testing and review, I'd propose the integration of these modifications. With the update of the device tree, some vendor libs were updated as well to match sony sources, as the cm team did. I just added some new ones.

However, some notes must given for this build:

- Autofocus with the standard camera is not working, somehow related to vendor libs. However, with the Google Camera, it's working fine.

- The camera spams the log (and I really mean a lot of spam) but does not harm the functionality of the camera. It's related to the vendor lib liboemcamera.so and happens in current cm builds as well.

As a final statement, please note that is an absolutely unofficial testing build.

So, after all this said here's the download link:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347768472

And here are the sources (for kernel & device tree):

https://github.com/Diewi

And a special thanks to:

- The SlimRom team.

- The Cyanogenmod team.

- Omar.

- and faux.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
I appreciate your effort. I tried this build with my own kernel and my opinion is: Slimteam has lost its mojo after a few people left (break up). This rom is no where close to their pre-break- up work. Interface is laggy. WIFI is buggy. Layers also mulfunction.: apparently the colors in system/settings apps are hard coded (grey text) and they can't be changed with layers to result in grey on grey or black on black.

Their website itself is buggy and you have to try 10 times to properly sync the sources without errors. I wish them luck in restoring their old glory...

Also the wifi seems to have a hard time finding and connecting to my hidden wifi network.

Well in roms that are based primarily on AOSP (with some CM flavors), it does NOT happen. I am talking about DirtyUnicorns and PA. These are the only two true AOSP based available for Z1...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] OmarEinea:
PA is just as based on CM as Slim is,

Meaning PA it's using CM device repos, you can check them here: https://github.com/aospa-l?utf8=✓&query=Sony

I didn't check DU repos but as far as I know, AOSP by Fxp is the only true AOSP ROM ;)

If you're taking about the whole ROM base, well then both PA and Slin are based on AOSP so...

Not meaning any offence at all, just letting you know.
