How hard accessing native functions is for developers?

I mean, accessing camera, bluetooth, phone functions, messaging, serial communication with PC, microphone... I guess it can be done in c++, but what about other languages?

And, are there different security restrictions about native access, among WM5 and WM6?

I come from Symbian, and passing from 8.0 to 9.0, tons of security constraints have been added to the system, making virtually impossible to freeware developers to access phone functions!

[Xperia Z1 General] firdyRAY:
Nice bro! I was looking for the SG one and finally you came out with it.

Which one has less bloatware and the cleanest of them all? Super light or light?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Light will wipe everything on your internal including your apps. It's clean. By the way, I've haven't tested Supper Light yet, but I think there won't be any problem with Super Light.
[Xperia Z1 General] firdyRAY:
Thanks. Anyway is this odexed or deodexed? You said it's customised. What are the customisation?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
I mean branding (Operator) . Nothing was customized. It's official SG.

ROM is Odex. :D
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
My ISP has problem. I can't upload Flashable_14.5.A.0.242_SG_XZR2810.zip today. Maybe tomorrow. I promise. :o

Confirm: Both Light and Super Light have no single problem.
[Xperia Z1 General] doinkydoink:
Will this work with 6903?

Sorry for the typos..am using auto correction.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
I don't think it work. You may face some signal problems. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] hwithv:
Will it work with C6902 in Vietnam?
[Xperia Z1 General] darsh11192:
For everyone asking for will it work on my device...

Just remember.. C6902 works for all countries with this model number .. Just wont work on other than C6902..

Its of common sense like C6902 will not work on model other than C6902..
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Yes! :)
[Xperia Z1 General] borneanheadhunter:
Anybody got screen flickering as in AOSP?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
No. I don't have this problem. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
C6903 is now uploading :D
[Xperia Z1 General] whoami_amiu:
Need help !!

Hey Ratha nice work bro, I have already installed the global version for C6903 from another source on xda, but I want root, can I use your C6903 version Super_Light ftf for the root thing?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Rooting process is in C690X_Flashable_14.5.A.0.242_SG_XZR2810.zip, so If you want to root, start from step 2 till 9, and yes for step 8, choose option "a" to keep your current apps and data. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] unexpected0ne:
You said that this is for:

I have question what does it mean it? What are customizations? I just wanna Android 5 with root :D
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Customization refers to region or branding. There might be something a bit different..., but just remember that if your phone is C6903, you can flash any C6903 but not other than C6903. If C6902, you can flash any C6902 but not other than C6902. There won't be any problem on your system. Just one thing, if your phone is still under warranty, I recommend the exact Customization Version of ROM; otherwise, your warranty will be void :D.

Check your Customization Version:

You will see yours under "Customization Version".
[Xperia Z1 General] unexpected0ne:
Well, if it is branded I don't want to install it :S

So, summing up is it clean ROM or branded one?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Not branded bro. It's official stock ROM from SONY. Nothing was customized by me. I just added root and recovery. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] SUPERUSER:
will this work on locked bootloader?

C6903_Flashable_14.5.A.0.242_SG_XZR2810.zip seems corrupted, please check it, I already downloaded 3 times from 3 different PCs
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Yes both locked and unlocked.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Many Thanks for checking! I will upload and post a new link soon.
[Xperia Z1 General] SUPERUSER:
thank you for your quick response, just got a call from my dad wondering ...me myself don't own any z1 I have the Z ultra so I'm not very familiar with the ub/lb thing. With the z ultra all roms require you to have the bootloader unlocked ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] anakdayak:
Are u sure its corrupted coz I had downloaded the c6903 since OP release it and its doing fine and great without any issued.
[Xperia Z1 General] asbesto:
yes unfortunately I am sure.. :(
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
I've removed the old one and now uploading to two different clouds Google Drive and Mega.

Sorry for any inconvenience! :o

Hi! New Mega link was updated in the first post. :)

my Walkman Clear Audio+ not working in this rom :(
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
SONY's bug. Everyone has this problem. :)

hi Ratha ITC, can u upload file: C690X_14.5.A.0.242_Customized_SG_Super_Light.ftf to mega. i cant download from box.net.

do you create pre-root rom by using PRfcreator tool? so what C690X_14.5.A.0.242_Customized_SG_Super_Light.ftf do? how i can make this file from my Customized version
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
New Mega links were added in the first post. ;)

Yeah I used PRfcreator to create the pre-rooted. Super Light ftf, you can use flashtool to see what were excluded or included. :D
[Xperia Z1 General] cashflow67:
I installed rom according to your instructions. But How can I update recovery? with flashable zip or installer from pc? And will I get sony bootloop error?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
You won't get any error! I haven't got any issue since I updated to 2.8.12.

Update Recovery with the flashable.zip. Read the original instruction by [NUT] below. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] cashflow67:
I did it. Irebooted to TWRP recovery then I flashed flashable.zip and I stuck at sony olo :( :(
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
I'm sorry to hear that. Try to hold power and volume up button to force power off your phone. Then power on again. Tell me if it can fix this problem.
[Xperia Z1 General] cashflow67:
No worry man, You have discleamer and All responsibility is on me :) And I have a nand backup ;) No it doesnt work. Can you tell this problem to Nut?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Ok I will report this problem to NUT. :D
[Xperia Z1 General] Hitman73:
Guys,

Been using C6903_14.1.A.0.157_SG on locked bl, ROOTed. Upgraded it today to C6903_14.5.A.0.242_Customized_SG_Super_Light. Before that I also installed newest NUT recovery.

After the smooth upgrade to lollipop everything seems to work quite well except the... root.

I seem to kinda lost it.

Dunno why - no idea.

It was here, with me. Working. It was properly installed.

Would anyone of you help me?

Thinking about restoring my backup and then upgrading again, not sure if that would fix da problem tho.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
This problem is so strange... Did you follow all the steps? I'm sure you'll get rooted lollipop if you follow my instruction.
[Xperia Z1 General] sidsidsid7:
Im trying to flash the Superlight ftf from pc.. but the flashtool gets stuck at 5%!! C6903

Im not sure what to do.. help plz!

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

Man i am not being able to flash the superlite ftf. Phone is stuck :/

Flash the zip in the previous step

Trying to flashtool superlite ftf through pc.. and its not happening!!
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
:confused: I've never met this problem... Make sure your flashtool driver is correctly working and your USB cable and wire is good. And did you clarify if your download file had no error?
[Xperia Z1 General] Hitman73:
Hell yeah I did :P

Well, took the unrooted lollipop and flashed (onto it) once again your files (along with super_light) and it does work now. Had to update Titanium Backup coz' my old 6.x version still didn't see root. Other apps worked fine after the second flash :) :)

Thank you! I'm already enjoying the new version! :)
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
You're welcome! I'm glad to hear that! :)
[Xperia Z1 General] doomtrain85:
Can i do this directly from ihacker rom or i had to start all over from pure stock rom ?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
I'm afraid you will get bootloop with Super Light ftf. I don't know what iHacker customized... But it should be OK with my Light ftf. :o
[Xperia Z1 General] rajdeep312:
is this ftf have ta file 1.2gb
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Do you mean the full untouched ftf? :confused: I have for both C6902 and C6903.
[Xperia Z1 General] binlkevin:
Hello , I have downloaded the zip for 6902, and checked the md5 is not correct. Does it broke?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Yes your download file is broken. You need to download again. Could you tell me which one?
[Xperia Z1 General] binlkevin:
C6902_Flashable_14.5.A.0.242_SG_XZR2810.zip

I have downloaded it twice,it's alway broken.

I'm checking it... I'll update a new download link as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot!
[Xperia Z1 General] doomtrain85:
Thanks Bro!! Finally updated my phone to Lollipop and it's amazing smooth.

The battery seems like drainning quite quickly, any other notice that or it's my problem ?

BTW, the rom is odex or deodex ?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Hi doomtrain85!

For me, they battery is really good on Lollipop. I feel it's better than on Kitat... I'm not sure about your problem, but I used to have problem with battery draining so fast. I checked the Battery Usage and I found the problem with my SD mounting or so, I just removed and reinsert it, and the problem's gone.

By the way, the ROM is Odex.

:)
[Xperia Z1 General] cashflow67:
Yes man, there is something wrong with sd read/write mbs. Because in kitkat I was able to play with read/write rates with performance control and I was able to reduce my battery usage and my battery was better. Lollipop is normally better than kk about battery usage but We have to do something about read/write rates
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
I sometimes still have this problem. Please share me if you find way to fix it. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Lastest Xposed Works

I haven't tested any module yet.
[Xperia Z1 General] Hitman73:
my battery is draining ultra fast, never seen my phone go down from 60 to 0 after just few hours in my pocket - all apps killed, only mobile data present (and hangouts in background).

gonna check it for few next days... although I unplugged the phone today at 8:30 am and now (10:45) it's 70%. Used only hangouts for 7 minutes and one phonecall made for 15 minutes via bluetooth :o
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
hmm... I sometimes have this problem too. It relates to SD card.. I'm not sure what the root cause is. It can be the Recovery :confused:...

Try to use your phone with unmounting SD card or with no SD card for a while (1 day or 2 days) and let me know whether your battery life improve.
[Xperia Z1 General] cashflow67:
I think I solved problem. I used phone 5 hours at almost every read caches and 512 and 1024 are most battery friendly caches for me. I use my phone only for whatsapp,facebook,messaging,call,music and taking photos. I never install and never play games in my phone. So I dont know what will happen if you play games with these caches. I think you should try these two caches 1 or 2 day. You will notice the difference. I use performance control and I underclocked my cpu to max 1720mhz-min 300, Lmk is aggressive and I didn't touch anything except for these settings. So I don't see any overheating problem. Maybe you should give a look and try
[Xperia Z1 General] cashflow67:
May I want something from you? Can you decrease your ftf size? Can you debloat useless and unnecessary apps in ftf? And can you update your supersu.zip in ftf to version 2.49 beta?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
I will consider later because now there are many exams and projects at my school... :o

But for SuperSU 2.49 is still beta version. Anyway, you can update it manually.
[Xperia Z1 General] Hitman73:
Will see, thank you :)

As far I see the problem related to SD card yes, but I also see the problem related to carrier network. On KK firmware I've had in my apartment quite strong signal, about 80% LTE. Now it's around 40% signal strength. I feel like it's also draining battery fast as it switches LTE to 3G all the time. Changed the setting to only 3G/GSM for testing but that definitely needs fixing.

Regards :)
[Xperia Z1 General] cashflow67:
I hope you will be successful at your exams. my exams finished one week ago so I'm cool :)

Ok, it was only a request, decision is yours and depends on your free time :)

And I want to ask you, what happens if I wipe dalvik cache, cache, data,system,system when I rebooted to recovery before flash zip?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Thanks! :D

Use my Light ftf if full wipe.
[Xperia Z1 General] BOMBMASTAH:
Big thanks! Great job! Only one thing for me the ROM dose not have the option to show SIM card contacts in - Contacts/menu/filter. Is there any other option to show Sim contacts with out copy them to the phone?

:)
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
I guess no unless you import to your phone. :)

Lasted Xposed Is Working Fine

Xposed alpha4 xposed-sdk21-arm-20150430.zip is working fine without a single problem. :D
[Xperia Z1 General] djg269:
Hi, thnx for contribution.

Tried to flash the C6903_Flashable_14.5.A.0.242_SG_XZDR2814.zip thru the latest CWM, flashing went ok but ended up with a bootloop.

When booting in recovery i still have CWM and no dual recovery.

Restored a backup and im fine but still want to have LP ?

Any ideas??
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Did you flash the FTF after? It's a must to flash FTF. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] djg269:
Uhm sorry, i misread the op. I read... Flash with recovery or flashtool hihi.

Will try again later on. ?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
The problem solved? :laugh:
[Xperia Z1 General] djg269:
Yes problemen solved. I did a clean install. View attachment 3294857

Why do you need rooted Kitkat, if the Lollipop ftf is prerooted?
[Xperia Z1 General] djg269:
Hello i have something strange.

At random i lose recovery and have to flash NUTS again. I also can never boot into CWM with NDR utils.

Root acces is still granted but no recovery.

Any ideas?
[Xperia Z1 General] angvil:
Try flashing latest recovery from nut files latest is. 14 I think
[Xperia Z1 General] djg269:
Thats the one i have ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Rooted process is in the .zip file. My ftf contains only drivers and some others not the system. :D

The problem solved? You must follow all the steps in the instruction. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] doomtrain85:
I flashed the zip, reboot and nothing happen..

can somebody advise ?

Sorry..issue solved.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Flash the .zip

Reboot

Install the .apk

Try any module...
[Xperia Z1 General] djg269:
Well, im able to boot in Philz and Twrm but when i want to boot into CWM with ndr utils i get stuck on bootlogo.

So i have recovery but not all of them.

If i lose it again i will report back.
[Xperia Z1 General] papperlapapp:
I don´t understand one thing, what is the Light.ftf and Super_Light.ftf good for?

You install the pre rooted Lollipop from a ZIP file, so why flash one of these 2 FTF files after installing the pre rooted ZIP?

Thanks

Having some trouble with internal memory after flashing this - my first go at a Lollipop ROM.

I flashed the 'light' version.

Now I'm having problems with internal memory - file managers show it as blank, it seems it's not writable, and apps can't save anything because of it (Facebook/Opera/Chrome). Also, the Google Camera app keeps asking me to insert SD card.

Any ideas? I'm not sure what I should do.
[Xperia Z1 General] Kshitiz.gautam:
how to jump from official LP to your pre-rooted LP

I am on official LP (IN version)...Locked bootloader.

How do I install recovery so that I can flash your pre-rooted ROM. Is it even possible or shall I roll back to Rooted Kitkat first ??
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
As I answered to your previous question, the .zip file contains only system and recovery. You must flash the .ftf for drivers and other important components. I don't build a single ZIP or FTF since it is not secured. :p

There's no way that can help you right now. You must go back to rooted KITKAT again. :o

Go to Recovery,

wipe cache & dalvik cache,

flash the .zip again (the MOD you applied will loose),

Finally, flash the Super Light.

Let me know if this help you. :)
[Xperia Z1 General] npoljak:
Thank you for the quick reply!

It didn't work, unfortunately. Internal memory is still blank in file explorers and nothing can be copied to it.

My process:

1. Reboot to TWRP

2. Wipe CACHE, wipe DALVIK

3. Install zip

4. Reboot to FLASH mode from TWRP

5: Start Flashtool64, flash SUPER LIGHT

6. Reboot phone

Am I doing something wrong?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
It's so strange... Have you tried other File Explorer? Which Zip did you use? with the Recovery 2.8.14 or 2.8.10? And SuperSu and Recovery work fine?
[Xperia Z1 General] npoljak:
Yep, File Commander and Solid Explorer. I can't even write to it via MTP, although I can at least see the folder structure there.

SuperSU working fine, both recoveries working fine. I used 2.8.14.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
I'm sorry that I now can't find what exact problem is... :( I have no idea. You may start from rooted Kikat again and stay on Kitkat or update to this 242 or wait till new New Lollipop 14.5.A.0.270 come out. The new Lollipop update (14.5.A.0.270) is now certified for Xperia Z1. ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] npoljak:
Fixed!

Did a full backup, to save my new data.

Then restored my old KK backup, and repeated your instructions, but with a full reboot between each step, just in case.

After install and flash, I restored the new data, and it was all there.

I think everything works normally now:)

Thanks for your help:)

two issues

I have been on this ROM for a while, and I am pretty much satisfied. With Xperia Xposed and AP+(Advanced Power Menu+) installed, the ROM gets even better.

I have 2 issues though:

one is that the phone gets slow after a while, even though I close all apps running in background.

The other issue is that deleting SMS conversations takes a long time, regardless how many sms'es the conversation I delete contains. Could it be that I have more than 7000 sms'es?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
The first issue is SONY's bug. Also, Lollipop consumes a lot of RAM. Hope they improve it on the next update. :o

I'm not sure for the second issue... but 7000 sms is wow! :laugh: I've never had more than 100.. so I'm not sure. I think it's normal that takes a bit long to delete 7000 sms. :laugh:
[Xperia Z1 General] maids:
can I flash this to my rooted 14.4.a.0.1571277-0078-r6c

Can't create Exchange contacts

Probably Off topic, but I ask any way.

I can't save my exchange contacts. I create a new contact with name and pohne number. After few seconds the contact is gone.

I have deleted the Exchange account and recreated the account without any difference.

Creating new contact from my Outlook works perfect, and the contact sync to the phone.

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
It's sync problem. Google has problem with its Google Contact sync. You have to manage your contacts by using Web browser and re-sync to your phone.
[Xperia Z1 General] golagha11:
Thank you for your reply. You are right, but my new contacts, which i created on the phone, appeared in "Suggested contacts" in my Outlook.(active Sync, corporate e-mail). I just moved them from "Suggested contacts" to "Contacts" in my Outlook, and they synced back to my Phone. I am not sure that this is a Google problem, because several of my colleagues who also are on Lollipop(Xperia Z3, Galaxy S5, Note 4, all stock Lollipop without any modifications), never have mentioned any thing. I will discuss this issue with them.
[Xperia Z1 General] SimonZ:
Thanks but.. i do not have live wallpaper :( when i install cosmic flow 1.2.A.0.6 i can't pick from background selector, just only stock images or from album not live background. How can i fix this?
[Xperia Z1 General] Ratha ITC:
Cosmic Flow? It's a bit old... I'm not sure if it supports Lollipop... but it should work on Lollipop. What about other live wallpaper?
[Xperia Z1 General] SimonZ:
yes i got new live wallpaper but i like also old xperia S cosmic flow and it work fine i confirm but not in this rom. (some files missed?)
