You can't go back to kit kat because the bootloader has been updated. You could try a warranty and tell them all the problems, I doubt they would exchange because that's only the first 15 days, after that warranty replacement. You could flash an unbranded stock ROM, don't need to unlock bootloader . or say goodbye to warranty and flash custom ROMs. I am running eclipse on my moto x 2013. It has all stock features

What's wrong with flashtool?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 160lightning:
https://github.com/Androxyde/Flashtool

Download button is on the right hand side underneath 'Clone in desktop' button... This will flash anything anywhere anytime.... just put yr Kk ftf file into the Flashtool firmwares folder and it will show up as a choice to flash.... Job Done

Or.... you could download the Android SDK and use adb to flash your ROM but there's a bit more to understanding how to work with a CMD window opened in platform-tools folder to run the adb.

https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html

If you have a Z1 compact I find it odd that you have a slower device with lollipo on board.... or is it stock lollipop...? Custom lollipop ROM's run like the wind on my Z1 cos there's no bloat to clog it up and fill up the RAM.... minimal Google apps ensure it runs fast and the control over how yr handset runs is yours.... not Googles

"i have already a kitkat ftf file but not a workable flashtool."

This makes it sound like you've got a 'broken' flashtool .... :rolleyes: ..... but I'm now guessing you've never used one before and that is why it's not 'workable'....?

If you've never used flashtool before then you need to read thru the thread at the beginning of this forum in the General section.

Hello,

Yes it is running smooth. No lags, just like the day i bought it.

A question : Will a lower firmware (example 4.2 or 4.3 ) have a positive effect on the RAM ? for example phone being faster.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonryder:

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molkeri:
Hello,

I just recharged my phone within 10 minutes up to 50% ! Seems the KK firmware has indeed a positive effect on the battery. I am going to try JB and find out what it does on the battery and let you guys know.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 160lightning:
The best way to speed up your device is to manage the limited RAM resource that such a small computer can have built into such a tiny space. Unwanted bloatware and 'uncontrolled' background applications use up too much RAM as ideally you should aim to never be using more than 30% of total RAM with the device just turned on and loaded...so when you open an app or go online to browse you have plenty of space to shuffle stuff around..... and that's why the clever guys here design Custom ROM's which run much faster because they are tuned to be more efficient than stock.

If you add to that having root access and the total control that comes with it you can end up with a much faster device by ensuring you only have the apps on board that you use and that none of them are running in the background unnecessarily. You can monitor your RAM and cache usage and learn how to adjust your app settings to get the best out of what you have constantly.

It's like any machine ... off the shelf works.... but if you tune it for optimum performance you'll get much more from it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molkeri:
Thank you for the explanation.

A other question :

Do you know what ''BAL'' and ''RU'' files are ? When i flashed it was written ''4.4 customization BAL''
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spudata:
Baltic and Russian regions
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 160lightning:
Indeed as Spudata rightly notes those letters represent regions and so you can tell from that your KK ftf you obtained and flashed is a customised from Russian origin. I would guess that when you first booted into set-up and were asked to select the language it 'may' have been on Russian by default and you had to scroll down to select your language of choice....?

If you ever decide to try out taking full control of your device and experiece the full power it has then the best time to experiment is when you get a new one so you can keep your old one to play with in case you manage to do some irreversible damage, tho that happening is becoming far less frequent with the tools that we have available nowadays thanks to the awesome work of the clever people who work to develop them and share here on XDA.

Enjoy

[MENTION=332385]Lightning[/MENTION],

Yes indeed, i do not know if it was Russian but it was Cyrilic for sure, so yes most likely it is a Russian version. I assume there are also EURO versions out there ? Would it not be better for me to put a EU version ? ( I am from Netherlands).

Indeed, i am trying to learn more from you guys, after i have found my ideal firmware i am planning to put 4k video recording on the device and so on.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Creosote:
i'm trying to help out someone who has fallen victim to a fake unbranded micro sd card from ebay.

they bought what they thought was a 64gb card, then tried to move all their photos and videos to it. as the sd card was reporting a capacity of 64gb, the phone tried to move all of it, and deleted it all from the internal storage.

my first port of call was photorec, because it's what i've used before, but that's only any use for recovering from the external sd card, the internal storage will only connect as an mtp device, which photorec doesn't see.

i then rebooted into windows and started trying different android photo recovery software. the closest i've come to success is with dr fone, but that either gets stuck at 90%, or tells me the phone will have to be rooted to recover anything.

the phone is already on the latest firmware version, which i believe means it will have to be downgraded before rooting. is it possible to root it in a way which won't overwrite the internal storage, so i can still recover the deleted photos after rooting? alternatively, is it possible to use ADB to force it to mount the internal storage as a mass storage device rather than MTP?

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharlieMHz:
I've got a Tab S 10.5 LTE a few weeks ago, and I've been quite happy with the screen and everything. But there's this one problem where the battery gets drained to quickly; while it charges so slowly. While web surfing, the battery percentage goes down by about 1% every 2 minutes, which gets me about 30% down in an hour. This is completely different from the iPad Mini I'm having. It's probably because of the big screen it has.

Is this normal? Is there like a ROM or kernel or anything that can fix this?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
Hi.

Install a battery monitor, GSam battery monitor is the one i use and does not affect your battery, it gives me a estimate of 16hrs of use on my 10.5" per full charge.

Install the free version of watchdog and set it in the setting to monitor all processes, then you can see which apps are using your battery the most, and then you can kill or remove the ones that are causing you problems.

Make sure to disable wifi, blue-tooth, gps and app syncing and alarms are disabled, as these all use power, or keep your tablet from sleeping when you are not using them.

EDIT: Also get an app that can monitor you tablets wakelocks, which means it shows any apps that keep waking your tablet up, instead of letting it go into a low power state while you are not using it.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbb77:
Not sure which model of the 10.5 you have but if it is compatible, try the SkyHigh kernel. I switched to this a while back and can tell you the battery life is simply amazing. I can go now almost a week in standby mode without needing to charge it. When I do use it I can get up to about 6-8 Hrs of actual screen time on recorded. Depends on whether I am gaming or simply browsing the web. I am also running the IronRom custom rom, which is pretty debloated and comes with it's own kernel, but SkyHigh definitely gives better battery life without tweaking. I just took stock values and it's great. Highly recommend you try it.

Forgot to mention, I am still running KitKat. SkyHigh kernel is not available for Lollipop, yet.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexx2003@hotmail.com:
It took me a while to figure this out but here is what I did.

1. Disabled WiFi when the screen goes off

2. Enabled the power saving option: disable background data

3. Screen timeout to 15 seconds

4. Enabled developer options and enabled the option to kill tasks as soon as I leaves them

5. Enabled the option: no background tasks

I am now on day 2 with 68% battery remaining. Previously the battery died in a day even without the screen being turned on.

No apps, no hacks, just simple tweaks

Also the LTE models will have lower runtime as the cell/phone transmitter uses some power.

Yes I had read that blog which was written before Root was available. The author wrote again on the same blog and I have tried emailing him.

I'm not a developer/coder btw.

Am I correct that even with Root and the latest Wear, a developer would still need to write a custom ROM to allow full access to the NFC functionality?

Is there much involved to achieve this as NFC is baked into latest Wear right? I'm interested to see if someone can make the watch operate in Reader Mode and whether thats a hard task..

I was able to use Resflux to modify the wallpaper assets. It's not as simple as it seems at first because the "default launcher" is actually 5 different apps on the Fire TV.

[Fire TV General] dbdoshi:
So I have a Q. From my understanding, the app will list all drawable resources within any app you want to target. I am wondering if you can use this to change the icons (the preview and thumbnail images) of any app on the "Recents" tab without changing the images at source (meaning, in the ".imagecache" folder for that app). So, I mapped the resources of an app (MCPE Edit) which I use to start ES app. The only thing visible in the "Drawing" tab is one image for MCPE (property called "ic_launcher"). If I replace this png with my own along with appropriate ini file, will that replace both the preview & thumbnail images automatically? If possible, this might a better way to do image replacements rather than replacing original app images.

If someone has attempted this and familiar with this process, are there any general rule of thumb (property wise in the "Drawing" class) for FTV home screen image replacements for an application?
[Fire TV General] dk1keith:
worked great. First try I had the wrong version of Resflux. 1.6 definately didn't work. Thanks again for a great guide. Fire TV looks much better with the new background.
