All those are Sony proprietary software modifications that work only on Sony stock ROMs. There exist, however, some ports that claim they work, but it doesn't even come close to the original thing. If you're looking for those features, stay on stock
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] MacSeoin:
I have no problems with the ROM at all, will you guys please take a chill pill and slowly work your way through the instructions. I think patience is needed when it comes to rebooting, I also thought I had a problem with the config disappearing but since setting afwall to system admin and sometimes opening the app to speed things up its been fine . I've installed this ROM so many times as it was new to me with afwall and helping to identify bugs (charging animation when off which is now fixed apart from the text but that's just being picky) and you know what it's up there with my favourite ROMs as security and encryption is top notch, if only Google were so conscious of protecting their users instead of logging their every move! [MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION] Great work keep it up
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] drakonizer:
So you obviously did something other than what was specified, and got it to work. That was my original point. Its not like we don't like the ROM or find it tough to configure. My only point was that with the instructions given right now, people who blindly follow instructions won't be able to make it work like they want it to.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Ohhdayumm:
just wondering optimum pro how do you use your phone without gapps? how do you get your apps? like social apps or games?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
Games: if I ever want to play a game, I use third party stores installed in data partition, as opposed to system.. They also do not require such malware as google services framework. And as soon as I install a game, I delete the store app. For chat I use Conversations. If I ever want to facebook (which I don't), I can use a web browser.

Other apps: I only use apps that I can compile myself...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Ohhdayumm:
Also I still got the problem where the frequency don't stick after leaving the app I am using msm mpdecision hotplug

[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] MacSeoin:
hopefully you will update this ROM soon and I'm really hoping you can work your magic on a MM ROM too
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
MM ROM: it isn't going to happen with 3.10 kernel and MM camera. My prediction is MM will never have a fully working camera. Neither will Android N. There is only one way to possibly make it work: return to 3.4 and heavily modify frameworks_av files, but those who are capable of doing so, have instead switched to 3.10 and AOSP branch, which never ever had a working camera on any Android version.

By the way, the camera is not a developer's preview, it is open source crippled camera that has no chance of improvement, because it is lacking proper drivers/communication with hardware and those are not coming . Sony wants you to buy a new device.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
New build is up

Rom updated to release 36 + more. See OP for download and description.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] kentexcitebot:
Glad I wasn't alone, I was thinking the same :)

[MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION] Even though Camera is crippled due to missing proprietary drivers/blobs in Linux 3.10, I think you should still spend (at least!) little time experimenting with MM and maybe get a build up with your hardened Android mods. I'm not a kernel or Android developer by any means, so I don't know how complicated it is to import your enhancements (could be impossible!) to MM; however, I think a lot of people would be interested in trying a MM build that has a significant emphasis in battery, speed, and security, despite the bad camera.

That being said, I'll be flashing your new Jaguar build from your previous Liquidsmooth ROM soon. If you actually plan on releasing a MM build, I'll definitely be one of the many who will try it out! Great work like always! :good:

PS: The new build could be called "Marlin" instead of "Jaguar" (Marlins are capable of swimming to speeds up to 80km/h (your ROMs has speed), is also a name for Marlin DRM, which is used for technical protection measures (your ROMs has security), and Marlin starts with an "M") ;)

Af wall and kernel zip not working for me plus I can't access Internet without it

After install of APK's do terminal settings
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] [GER]Roxxor:
What is your source that it will never get better? I agree that it will never reach stock quality, but Jerpelea is working on binaries and updates them from time to time. So still think that there is hope, that at least the focus will work at some point. That would be sufficient for me.

The positive thing about the unified Kernel is simply that even with lacking manpower for one device, it is still quite possible to port it. That is a good thing for the future. And the new binaries use a OPen Source framework, which should enable good, functional updates in the future.

Like I said: If Jerpelea is going to give us working AF, then I will use this device for quite some time.

To check for AOSP binary updates, see this link: http://developer.sonymobile.com/knowledge-base/open-source/open-devices/latest-updates/

(Last Camera binary update on 02.02.2016, I sure have hope that there are more updates to come)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
I didn't say camera won't get better. I said it will never fully work.

First of all, camera has NEVER EVER worked on any AOSP android version for honami. So, what makes you think this should/would change. Second, Jerpelea has no control over Sony binaries. I bet he is not even allowed to look at their sources. He is simply a public relation person for Sony, as it relates to open source community (to show how Good this corporation is to open source). Plus he works on that part of Sony that is open sourced. He is allowed to work (in the dark) to improve things. Sony won't ever let their proprietary camera be in the open, because of millions of dollars it spent on development/patents etc. There is a good chance those blobs could be reverse-engineered and technology stolen by Apple/Samsung/LG.

The only reason camera worked on kitkat and lp was CM's heavy modifications, which included their own device tree. Now, they gave up on that tree and instead switched to AOSP branch, which means NEVER EVER (see above)...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] brickhayabusa:
i think that we don't need a fully working camera, we at least need a camera that can focus and take pictures, thats all.

screen freezes

Hi dude i have a problem with your ROM and all the others that are cm based. I have screen freezes. I don't see many persons talking of that, but I know I'm not alone and I know it is not a hardware problem. So please do you have a solution or just an idea? I'm obliged to stay on stock for the moment.:crying: Is it possible that it is caused by gapps?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
If you read this thread, you will find that many users say Jaguar is one of a few roms that has no ghost touches/screen freezes. They especially say they can't return to stock because of screen freezes there. It may be Gapps or hundreds of other reasons, but you should know xda rules: no general complaints without providing proof/logcat...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] AnrgKrshn:
It's a hardware issue. Get a tempered glass screen protector.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] calage1234:
I'm having this issue too and i'm using a tempered glass screen... What can i do?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
You need to use tempered glass with oleophobic coating, as some Xperia Z1 phones had an OEM screen protector without it. So, you need to remove Sony crappy plastic and put on glass with coating...

So just do step 6 and I'm good to go?

Yes. The correct entries are in Settings.Global already. Just set up the afwall, as without it the internet is blocked.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Abomb:
Does the new internet setup script also work when flashing gapps?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] kentexcitebot:
Wifi and data will work as long as you install AFWall and apply iptables. Gapps won't affect the script in any way.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Abomb:
I just can't get internet to work. I'm not a technical noob and I think I followed the instructions to the letter, I'm really not sure what I'm missing. I read all the instructions I could find multiple times. This is what I did:

Flash rom and gapps. After booting up install Afwall + KernelAduitor. apply the settings from second post in Afwall (set binaries to builtin, set DNS to 'enable dns via netd', disable LAN control in prefs) and reboot again. I deleted my WiFi settings and then connected again, I also tried with wifi disabled, so on mobile data, no connections can be made. I also attached my iptable rules exported from Afwall.

Thanks in advance for any help.

New build to include Call Recording. See OP for download and description.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] pd12:
So I flashed the ROM, Gapps, then installed the AFWall and Kernel Aduitor .apk's from the file explorer.

Before I installed the .apks, I had no internet (but could connect to WiFi). Afterwards, I had internet, and I didn't even have to do the instructions quoted below!

Do we still have to do the quoted instructions or are they obsolete (e.g. the ROM install takes care of it all already?) Although I didn't even disable LAN control.

Btw, love the settings and stability in this ROM so far (just flashed a few hours ago). Great work!

Random redirects in browsers

Sorry for the offtopic,but i can't deem to find any good solution anywhere.Anyways,I started getting random redirects in all of my browsers when accessing this forum,and others.It redirects to im.mobsweet something. Malware scanners fail to detect the hijack.I have afwall and adfree up and working.Thank you in advance,keep up the great work.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] dape16:
Try to disable adfree and restore original host file and maybe disable afwall just to test. If you restart with afwall disabled you have to enable it and then disable it again to have internet access.

If you haven't done it already, go to settings and apps and look for suspicious apps in the list. If so, it does not hurt to deactivate them, but you will probably need a restart afterwards to see if the redirections are gone.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:

Is it just me or anyone else have this problem, can't apply any layer theme after reboot? I'm on latest build. Maybe I did something wrong :confused:
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
First, you have to start Layers Manager once and give it root. Iit will create directories on your internal card. Then you have to move your chosen layers into that directory or install a single app. Once done, you have to choose layers and press install. You have to do it several times (without rebooting). Then press back and check Uninstall Layers: you will see installed layers. If they are not listed, then do it again. Once listed, just reboot. It is a known bug in Layers Manager.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] hasnol89:
Never mind, my bad sorry. Try clean flash rom again, all working fine now. Anyway great ROM thanks :good:
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Nimrodz91:
So... Something unexpected happened. I was using the Clock app to set my alarm, but it didn't let me. It forced closed. I tried doing it again, but the same thing happened. So I decided to restart the phone when suddenly it didn't boot up. After a little time in boot animation, the phone just turned off and restarted again... and again, and again... Then I saw the new ROM update and flashed it. After that, the phone kept restarting again and again. I wiped, then, the Cache and Dalvik and finally got it working.

Edit: In the end, I had to wipe and clean flash again. Gapps disappeared.

So what's the cause for the restart looping? And the Clock app not working well?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
AOSP clock app works flawlessly including alarm. Google installs Gapps in system, so, every time you flash, they "disappear." What's causing this? Short answer - you. Mixing layers, installing 2 layers for the same app, some app that you installed, improper use of xposed modules. Without logcat, you name it.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Nimrodz91:
Here's a logcat. Now I am having random reboots when installing or updating apps through the Play Store. The Clock app works well for now. One thing I noticed is that every time the phone reboots I have to turn it off completely and wait a little time, because it keeps rebooting itself and won't boot completely.

I haven't applied any layers yet and I don't have xposed modules. I have installed the same apps that I used before installing this ROM and haven't had any problems at that time. :confused:

I think the logcat stopped when the phone rebooted.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
Your errors are related to Gapps. Try a different version. This is not a minor release with few cosmetic changes, but rather an entirely different version of LP 5.1.1. Also, if you restored your data partition from a previous non Jaguar rom (as opposed to individual apps with Titanium), you will always be in a sea of trouble. Also, changing between custom roms requires wiping of your internal SD card (Z1 does not have a separate internal card, it is the same hard disk where system partition is) to get rid of remnants of other roms. You will also get problems if you use a different kernel: for example, your screen off feature when charging a turned off phone won't work etc... . Make sure you give internet access in Afwall to everything related to Gapps, as, for example, one of logcat messages complains that Gapps do not see google play library in an app, which explains F/C or reboots...

I don't use Gapps, but no one here (and there were thousands of downloads) had a similar problem...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Nimrodz91:
Alright. I'm changing the gapps first and I'll keep you updated on any other changes. Then I'll procede to what you said. Thanks for the advice! :)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Nimrodz91:
Ok, so I tried different gapps, wiped my internal SD card, did not flashed any other kernel and I still experience random reboots. After following the AFWall preferences instructions, I proceed to install my apps and then, after some apps installed, I get those reboots. Also, I don't restore my data from recovery, but using Rom Toolbox instead (similar to Titanium).

Another thing I noticed is that whenever I get random reboots, my saved WiFi networks get deleted and the internet does not work anymore, making myself reinstalling AFWall again and set it again or not installing it at all in order for the internet to work again. This also happened in your LiquidSmooth Rom, which I am trying right now. :confused:
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
"and then, after some apps installed, I get those reboots." That's the answer to your problem. You have to find out which of your apps causes reboots. Also, you need to give permanent root to Afwall for internet to work. I wouldn't use rom toolbox at all, as it is an old app and despite updates, it doesn't fully work with LP 5.1.1. Plus, it would certainly interfere with KernelAdiutor, which is a much better app. Liquidsmooth does not have certain things incorporated and you need to do a long wifi/data setup. Since you are using Gapps, you probably need to give internet access to all system apps. You have to understand one thing: when you have Gapps, your operating system turns into advertisement based system, which in turn requires all data on your device and whatever you are doing with it transmitted to google servers and many Google's "partners." Gapps require constant internet and even if you disable internet for Dialer, SystemUI, Android System or any other app sitting in system partition, your phone won't be stable and may reboot...

Edit: My phone does not have Gapps. I really don't remember when I had a reboot last time. I charge the phone every second day, no lag whatsoever and no overheating. If I don't use the phone (email and internet are still on 24/7), I get 0.5% an hour draw. My internet data is about 27mb/20mb on LTE data and 20/17 on wifi limited by my wifi router. When I play Asphalt for 40 minutes, the temperature never gets above 56. I recently played with Xperia Z5 stock and my Z1 is faster, which made the owner of Z5 upset...

[MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION]

I've been using xdualarecovery till now for your kernels but now I want to use FOTA, especially since marshmallow requires the new bootloader.

Is there any way to update the bootloader and TA partition without having to download the whole stock FTF ?

I.e , i want to use only those files that will enable me to flash a recovery in FOTA and also boot mashmallow

Really appreciate your input :)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
I don't think new bootloader is required for MM, it is rather needed for 3.10 kernel, because recovery based on 3.4 won't work with 3.10 kernel. You rather need a recovery built with 3.10 kernel.

If you want to upgrade bootloader, you can either use emma tool, but it works with windows only, or FTF update for new bootloader posted by Andropax http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z1/general/ftf-ta-update-direct-booting-recovery-t3135728 . But keep in mind you won't be able to go back to the previous bootloader ever.

I am still using the old bootloader. Even if I may start using MM in the future (which I don't think will ever happen, because MM will never be stable and/or camera will never work the way it does in LP), all I would need to do is to fastboot 5.1.1 kernel and use my own recovery...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] camlin:
I tried using the emma tool but it refused to recognize my device.

The file in the link you posted has expired.

I tried marshmallow ( bliss pop ) but it didn't even get past the sony logo and into an endless loop.

I suppose I'll have to stick to lollipop for now.

Thanks for the info :)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
You might want to pm to Andropax. You should be able to boot MM without recovery. If MM's init files are looking for recovery partition before booting, that's stupid beyond stupidity. None of MM roms is even remotely anything more than bad alpha: screen problems, random reboots, problems with calls, text messages don't show up and many more. These roms should be in a special category on XDA: crippled roms... :)

Battery Usage on release 37

Here is my typical battery usage: the phone was taken off the charger at 7:30 in the morning on April 19, so, we are talking almost 29 hours using 71% of battery. This includes over 3 hours of screen time, continuous e-mail syncing, wifi on, moderate phone/sms usage and web browsing. See screenshots...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] dape16:
That's great stats. How old are your phone? I have much better battery time with your ROM than any stock ROMs. But I guess after using the phone daily for 2,5 years the total battery capacity has been decreased quite a bit, especially the last 6 months I have noticed that it doesn't last that long anymore. It's not that easy to open it and change the battery by yourself either.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
I did change the battery about 11 months ago, as the original one was dying (jumping from 40% to 0 in minutes). Some Xperia Z1s have a bad battery. My 2012 Xperia ION is still going strong on original battery.

And yes, it is not easy to change the battery: I ended up replacing the back door and middle housing. I also had to use glass glue and put the phone under about 40 pounds (books) for several hours. Then a few days later, I had to apply more glue in several spots (you do need a glue with easily removable excess). I am not going to drop the phone in water for checking purposes, but almost a year later, I have no dust between the camera lenses and glass on battery door, which is a pretty good indication...
