Testing it out

Firstly, I want to thank you for your awesome work. I flashed the ROM today and so far I can say this is the only ROM that felt snappy from the beggining. Usually the Lollipop ROMs bug out at the first configuration screen, or atleast they lag. This one didn't. Clean, up to date, stable, full features.Almost perfect! The only thing I would like to suggest is to boost up the HeadPhones sound. That's not really a problem because I can do it myself. I will come back in 2 or 3 days to tell everyone how is the battery life. I have a daily routine so it's easy to compare ROMs when it comes to battery life.

Again, thanks for your awesome work!:good:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] stellarroar:
The speaker is working fine but the microphone is not. What should I do? Thanks for your reply man!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] kos25k:
try some bluetooth headset or headphones. also try another dial.if you haven't changed some option..i would suggest to flash the rom only with wiping cache and art cache..
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] stellarroar:
Calls are working good with a headset with a microphone but not with the phone speakers and mic. I will try the other options you have told me, should I try a factory reset?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] kos25k:
yes this is a good option. for me the best is also format system and install the rom twice.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] kos25k:
Ues me too.what is this?in battery stats always says video about 40% of battery usage.i erased video app and this haolianuo is still there..

at first thanks for hard work and great rom.

can we have microphone sensitivity option in sound settings(low-medium-high)?

i see only headphone selection choice in sound options.

anybody knows what system app i need for this?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] sauron3256:
Well, I installed the 8.5 update and had to roll back to 8.0, the phone reported that any sd card I tried was broken, even though TWRP could read them perfectly.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] eenkiinkeenk:
great rom.. but i cant open my gravity box.. framework force closed.. any tips?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] sarmientojohn4:
I have this same issue. Xperia album and music cant read any photos and music on my sd card
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] MXNICE:
flash it ,no need wipe.

:mad: after flashing still cant detect the photos and music from sd card sucks.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] sauron3256:
Does it detect your sd card fine otherwise? When I flashed 8.5 I always received a notification on boot that my sd card is destroyed.

I've been having issues with stock battery life and want to give this a shot. Has anyone been able to remove root/xposed and get Android Pay working with this?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] MXNICE:
flash it
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] reapy0815:
Downloaded and installed the ROM, seems to be very smooth and has some cool additional features :)

I immediately flashed the open Gapps nano package after flashing the ROM. Does that matter somehow (or did I have to do this, or were they already preinstalled?)?

And how can I set the cool translucent effect on the statusbar/notification center like on the pictures in post 1?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] chan1628:
this is a ROM based off a factory stock image.... you do not need to flash GAPPS
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] reapy0815:
Okay, I flashed it one more time without gapps.

But how can I enable these translucent effects line on the screenshots in the first post?

I think I have to set this in the Xperia Xposed app ad the Blurred System UI app, but now matter what I change there, it wont affect the UI. Even after restarting the phone.

Runs very good so far, but I had no browser after flashing and had to download firefox from the play store.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] beast_drc:
[MENTION=6890579]MXNICE[/MENTION] Will the ROM work if I update from v8.0 without wipes\factory reset?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] MXNICE:
yes, but i Suggest you do a full wipe， So your system will be more stable.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] reapy0815:
[MENTION=6890579]MXNICE[/MENTION]: Whats about my question above? :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] giriz1c:
[MENTION=6890579]MXNICE[/MENTION] : I m using your latest 8.5 rom in my Xperia Z1c. Now I have issue with FM radio. Volume in FM radio is very Low. I can't hear it. Volume is too low in both earphone & loudspeaker...i tried clearing fm radio cache & data but no use....any help.!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] MXNICE:
Radio FM using the official original, not to make any changes, try to change a headset or re brush machine, good luck
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] CmDaRkShAdOw:
You have to activate those modules in xposed framework.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] reapy0815:
Got it!

What I noticed so far: the stock mail app seems to be a little bit buggy and laggy, I have no stock browser (and Firefox is meh) and the stamina mode seems to drain the battery faster than normal mode.

Any suggestions?

Edit: I flashed it from Cyanogenmod 12.1 (official) and not from the stock rom if that matters.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Maciek602:
Best ROM for Z1 Compact I have tried so far. Awesome performance and Kitkat's battery life! Awesome!

Trojan, chinese apps?

Hi, been using 8.0 before and was fine but after going to 8.5, malwarebytes anti-malware picks up html5 games app as trojan, and what are 'iflat' and 'elta 3.9' apps, tylephone 2.2.2. These seem shady to me and you don't mention these in your release notes either. Please clarify if i am mistaken as i am at least certainly confused.

Other than this really great rom. Thanks.

Edit1: added details

Edit2: i uninstalled html5 and iflat using TIBU but they still in my app drawer. Edit: (Disappeared after i rebooted)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] sauron3256:
[MENTION=6890579]MXNICE[/MENTION] Well, I finally managed to install version 8.5 correctly and I have to say that your description does not disappoint. It certainly feels like a new phone. With Advanced Kernel v18.1, Pimp My Z1 and various xposed modules installed I got the following benchmark in Antutu (the highest since I bought my beloved Z1 Compact).

The only problem I encountered is that Xperia Home stops unexpectedly from time to time and nothing I tried has fixed it, any ideas as to what is at fault here?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] aryasuputra:
I have same problem, Xperia Home force stop when I download and install app from play store
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] sauron3256:
Well, my problem was solved partially by installing Xperia Home 10.0.A.0.63 beta version. Since it is installed as an "update" to the 10.0.A.0.8 version that this Rom uses, it retained all modifications and official functions (app badges etc) and stability. The only downside is that there are slight differences on the app drawer and the options screen, but not nearly so that it feels foreign. Anyway, problem solved for now, no more unexpected crashes for 2 consecutive days.

I don't know if it is allowed for me to post a link to download the app, so, if anyone knows, kindly inform me so I can post it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] pacifix_ocean:

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] sauron3256:
Sorry, I'm a little confused. Do we really need to flash the DRM fix to have the Bionz functions work with this Rom?

One more thing. During the past few days my device heats up very fast and the battery drains even faster. According to various monitor apps, it seems that the Kernel eats up more than 25% of the battery each time, with System eating up another 15%.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] giriz1c:
[MENTION=6890579]MXNICE[/MENTION] : BIG issue with battery,

Battery back up is not as good as mentioned or its not as good as KitKat battery...

1) when the battery percentage shows 30% or below and I was using Wi-Fi then suddenly it showed me 0% and it got switch off.

2) Sometimes battery %age runs down just like seconds and reaches 0% and power gets off.. This is weird... I thought to get back to rom8.0 from 8.5 or can u suggest me any other Solution.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Horst the Animal:
I dont habe this Problem, for me this Rom is working perfect! Best LL ROM and no LL ROM have battery life like KK...

Greetings
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] sauron3256:
So, any solution for the overheating issue on 8.5?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Horst the Animal:
There is no overheating with my phone... Do a reinstall?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] sauron3256:
I have done a reinstall three times and the problem persists.

Can you tell me what settings/kernel you are using? Maybe that's the issue.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Horst the Animal:
I'm usind the kryponian kernel. Its a really good kernel, u can try this one and if u have still problems I can tell u my kernel settings.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] sauron3256:
Well, I tried it, but the same thing happened. Plus, I've been using the Advanced Kernel for months with v18, so there must be something wrong ROMwise. I can understand the battery life, since my phone is getting older, but not the overheating. Multiple clean installs with different kernels and settings each time and the device can get so hot that you almost can't hold it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Horst the Animal:
For me its not getting hot. Sometimes when I watch a video for longer time and at same time I charge the phone, then its getting a little bit hot but not that much that I can't touch it. I really don't know what can be wrong with your phone. Sry :(

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] CmDaRkShAdOw:

Malware, Battery Issues, ROM Performance

I had the same problem. I started getting ads automatically opening various browsers. I did a scan with MalwareBytes and it got flagged as malware. I'm a bit concerned about the integrity of this ROM. I deleted "HTML5 Games" with Link2SD. Are you still having issues since removing it yourself?

I am also having battery issues. It will be fine until around 60% then it starts shutting down. The Battery Saver / Stamina start briefly before it shuts down.

I let my battery charge for a few minutes and it jumped from 1% to %60. I haven't tried any other ROMs.

On a positive note, since I flashed 8.5 over 8.0 I've gotten a significant improvement in performance, in terms of speed and responsiveness.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] DcR-Nl:
I had this problem on official stock 14.6.A.1.236, it also happened around 60%. Tried everything (factory reset, re-flash, battery save apps). The only thing that fixed it was replacing the battery (did this about 2 months ago). I bought this replacement battery on Ebay. My battery lifetime currently is as it used to be on 5.1.1.

Read many reports on the internet from users with the same issue after approx. 1.5 to 2 years of usage. Also some info here on XDA: http://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/help/battery-reporting-phone-dying-suddenly-t3095120

Mine started acting weird after 2 years and 1 week (1 week out of warranty :(). Seems like Sony used 'bad' batteries for the Z1C.

I'm still on version 8.0, so I can't confirm the "HTML5 Games" malware. I will refrain from updating to v8.5.0 till I know if it's a false positive.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] HITAK1:
very buggy,

1-unvisible internal storage

2-have bootloop after several time reset.

I prefer to stay in real stock rom.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Horst the Animal:
Than you did something wrong, for me the ROM is much better than original stock ROM. Have absolute no problem with it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] HITAK1:

I suggest to do full wipe.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Android#:
I removed HTML5 Games but only froze teleyphone 2.2.2 because wasn't sure if it was system app. Recently Malwarebytes picked up a Trojan associated with teleyphone 2.2.2 and there is very limited info available regarding this online and it seems that this Trojan is suppose to steal sensitive information from your phone... and I am unable to uninstall this or remove Trojan using Anti-malware Malwarebytes. [MENTION=6890579]MXNICE[/MENTION] please address this issue? Thanks...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] sauron3256:
Well, after using V8.5 as a daily driver for 25 days and, despite doing multiple wipes/reinstalls and having massive problems with overheating (my phome was reaching 65 degrees celcius with casual use almost constantly) and battery drain (20% to 25% battery consumption per hour), I was finally forced to downgrade once more to v8.0 trially to see whether my problem was caused by the software.

For two days now my phone is back to normal, so it seems I'll be waiting to test V8.5+ whenever it comes out. I hope others have better success with 8.5, though.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] rkarolak:
I thought I took care of the adware when I last posted, but today I did a scan (automatically) with Malwarebytes and I also got the teleyphone flagged as malware, so either telephony was there all along and Malwarebytes only just started flagging it, or it got installed on its own somehow. I haven't been able to find much information on it, so I don't know if it's a genuine threat or if it's a false-positive, which happens to some root utilities. Unfortunately, I think I am going to have to change ROMs until [MENTION=6890579]MXNICE[/MENTION] can address this. It may be verywell be a false positive, but the previous Trojans aren't very reassuring.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Sal3m:
I uploaded the teleyphone app to nvisio apkscan after random apps appeared over night. Thankefully i have AFWALL installed so the new apps had no chance to communicate.

Here are the scan results: h t t p s : / /apkscan.nviso.be/report/show/42d0db6929f97663aadb9be0536e447b

Yes. I switched to 8.5 and keep receiving randomly a picture of something that looks like a crying cat. Very unfortunate.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] wede6:
same as me, "crying cat" came from WeQR app, so i uninstall that scanner application
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] doenen:

can this rom still work perfectly in my z1c docomo ver?

thanks before, and sory for bad english :o
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] CmDaRkShAdOw:
It should work, but you'll have to replace some files with those from stock.

You're right, there is **** called "teleyphone" found as malware. Just uninstalled it :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Sal3m:
There is definetly malware inside ... the teleyphone app is hidden inside the usb-mtp-vendor-extension.apk you can check it yourself. Download the zip from #1, open it, go to system\priv-app\usb-mtp-vendor-extension\ and scan the apk
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Horst the Animal:
Oh New profil doenen?....
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] pintness:
But why is this app included in the first place and why does it start itself when the device is locked and shows a fullscreen pic on unlock?

This behaviour is very shady on this otherwise very nice Rom. And what about people reporting other stuff like the Telephony malware. It's fast and I'm getting 5 days of runtime with moderate usage, but I won't keep a Rom with such crap inside. Who knows what else might be in there.

This Rom should be banned indeed if the Dev doesn't have damn good explanation for this.

Besides the "Teleyphone" and "WeQR" apps, there were also "iFlat" and "SCWeather" apps preinstalled that can't be found in the Play Store, anybody knows something about those?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] wede6:
I don't know either, but have been using this rom about 3 weeks and everything works well,

i just uninstalled that "teleyphone", "weQR", "iFlat", and others weird application..,
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
This discussion goes back to the beginning of the thread. What is included in the ROM is the prerogative of the dev. It's up to the users, who are being blessed with a new ROM for free at the expense of someone else's work, to decide if they want to use it or not. If you have questions or suggestions, great. If you have a real concern about something fishy, or a violation, etc., report it. There's not really any place to have a hard time about it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] pintness:
I've just read the first 15 pages of this thread and there is not a single word about malware, bloatware, adware or anything related.

Yes, it's very nice that people put a lot of work into custom Roms and share it with others for free. It's like a farmer growing apples and giving them away for free. But a farmer handing out poisoned apples would probably be considered a d!ck, right?

There's no info in from the OP that this Rom contains random crying cat picture popups or apps that are considered malware and are hidden within other apps. I think this is vital information for people who are considering to download this Rom.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Xperia1011010:
How do i disable the auto hide status bar?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] doenen:
I couldnt have put it any better. If you enjoy this ROM so much, keep using it. I have made a ROM myself a few years ago and I know how much work it is. But why would I put malware into it...think about it.

I will leave this to other users. I have switched to Z1...

And no i dont need to create new profiles, there are enough people who found the malware, actually it wasnt me who found it first, I just read about it in this thread because I became suspicious because of the crying cat image...

It's really strange.. a developer so many time advised about "strange" stuff in its work, not taking in any consideration.....it's simply: just release a clean version of this rom..
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
Trust me, I feel the same. One of those quotes is from me way back. My only point is that the XDA mods are pretty capable and usually hold a pretty good standard with this stuff, so if there's something legitimately wrong, they will deal with it. Otherwise it's just a matter of opinion, and it doesn't make sense to have a hard time with a dev for it, when all he's doing is providing a free ROM for everyone.
