Hi Murtie,

DsStrikers z1 kairom is based on LP, so I recommend to proceed as follows:

Make a full (nandroid) backup with TWRP (boot, data, system) - to later be able to easily come back to your current ROM

Make necessary 'manual' backups of apps and data, you may wish to use with the new ROM

I have no clue about the TA, but since your current ROM seems to be a 'tweaked' stock ROM, an extra backup of the TA partition may not harm, but keep it separate from your nandroid backup (in case your TWRP version offers to back it up as well)!

do a wipe (factory reset), and also wipe system partition

You can use TWRP to flash the ZIP, no issue - however, see my comments further down

Regarding GAPPS:

You don't have to use GAPPS (different topic, how to live without Google - it is possible, I do!). However, I assume you WANT to have GAPPS. So yes, flash them immediately after flashing the ROM. Alternatively, I also have built an AOSP ROM with GAPPS already included, see here:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298948587

Further hints:

You need to flash a root app separately (e.g. SuperSU), but keep in mind, that root is available here through adb and USB debugging is switched on when you first launch the ROM. So don't forget to switch off.

The camera does not work properly due to bad drivers.

TWRP trouble shooting:

Have a twrp.img image file handy as a file - if you later boot into recovery and the screen remains dark, reboot to bootloader and do fastboot boot twrp.img

Regards - M.

Hi Com Can you use this rom now for the daily use or do you think it still has errors and one should wait?

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] MSe1969:
Main issue is bad camera (no focus! And the issue is with driver, so installing different cam app will NOT solve!) Other things seem to be OK. But I did not test everything this time, made the build after Sony open devices program published new blobs.

thanks i read all of conversation now im on AOSP7.1.2 on my z1c the problem is my z1 c isnot yet rooted and i cant boot into TWRP recovery anyone can help me? please and why 1.4 gb only on ram i thought it is higher than that
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] levone1:
First thing to try - download twrp img here - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862711713 and copy to computer in addition directory, then use fastboot command on computer: fastboot flash recovery [name of I'm].img. Then unplug and hold power and volume down until you feel vibration, then let go. If that doesn't get you into recovery, you probably don't have bootloader update, so you'll have to flash stock rom with Emma.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] nhicko95:
thanks everything working now except camera

Allright, judging by updater-script its amami only :(

I'm currently using the recovery I linked above as real recovery with this ROM. Working great.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] LukeHorizon:
This is a flashable ZIP, so i can install it without PC, right?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] levone1:
You can, but read instructions in op. There is no recovery or su included, so if you want those you need to temp-flash a different kernel after installing ROM. You can probably get away with using rashr and twrp, but just know what you're getting into.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] LukeHorizon:
I see, I flash Romand su, and then flash twrp fota with rashr, right?

Hello CLINTZ9,

could you please take a look at the led function? It looks like it works only for white but not for other colors.

The best way for testing this is maybe via xposed and gravitybox (under "ultimate notification control"). Setup different colors and try it...

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] levone1:
Battery life seems good. I think I've noticed MM being better than LP in general, but this ROM seems to do better than CM13 ROMs I've tried so far. I also flashed this - http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tweak-tunable-interactive-vm-optimized-t3289646 - so maybe helping.

Haven't gotten around to checking encryption. Maybe [MENTION=4942277]CLINTZ9[/MENTION] can say...

Here's a link to a deodex patch I made with lordroid tool. Note - THIS IS NOT WORKING FOR ME. I'm posting it here, because I think the deodexing is good, but I think the problem is in the odex removal script, because the odex folders are not removed. I thought maybe someone here might be able to troubleshoot it and make it work.

Again, do not flash this without having a backup, the phone boots fine, and apks and jars are replaced with deodexed ones, but odex folders are still there, and many apps fc.

Is it posilbe to create a flashable zip?

Gesendet von meinem D5503 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] levone1:
ROM is flashable zip. Just follow instructions in op. If you have real recovery, (Sony bl update), you don't need to do the whole fastboot thing. Just flash ROM, power off, and boot into recovery to flash other files, (make sure you have them downloaded). Otherwise, after flashing the rom, just copy the boot.img from the ROM to adb folder, (for later flash), then use fastboot to flash a different boot.img, (that will work with recovery), and a recovery.img, (if you don't already have one in place), then boot into recovery and flash other files, then flash the boot.img you copied from the ROM, (so you can boot).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] freeman94:
Any info about Update 3?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] 丨兮颜丨:
Which Rec can used at your rom?!

Which recovery can flash your rom?! The TWER 2.8.6.0 is not allowed, it is say the ZIP is broken. Could you kindly notes?! Thanks.

I have same question for this rom, can not into system, only see big sony than re-boot then big sony :crying:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] CLINTZ9:
Update 3 Might be delayed a bit

1. There is a problem in the https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/device-sony-amami repo i cant build unless the repository is available

2. My exams are going on

3 Will be going for a vacation so i wont be taking my Linux Laptop

So eta for the next update is April 15-30 or After May 30
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] CLINTZ9:
re flash the zip if you get errors

Do not reboot until the zip get flashed

If problems persist update your recovery
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] levone1:
Watch the output msg after flash. If you get red letters and 'failed' message, go right back to 'install' and flash again, and it will work. Don't worry about 'no os installed' message. If you get successful flash message, go ahead and reboot, and continue in the instructions.

I'm having an issue where my screen goes black seemingly at random. It comes back on after I lock and unlock the device. Anyone else with this problem?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] CLINTZ9:
Same here

Still trying to find a fix
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] levone1:
Having a battery issue. I don't think it's rom-related, since I've heard of it many tomes before, but this is the ROM I'm using, so figured I'd check in here. Once in a while battery % drops 20-30 percent. I don't think it's actual drain, but more of a mis-reporting, especially since one time, it actually jumped up about 20 percent after a reboot. It seems like it's always when it's full or near full. I found an old thread that seems to have the right info about it, (this post particularly - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22920865&postcount=5), but I don't understand much technically, and the thread is old, so I was wondering if anyone has any current insight into it as far as fixes/prevention...

This looks great and as much as I see you are the only hope for clean 6.0.1 ! :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] freeman94:
+1

As of now, it seems by users impressions (not mine, as I wait for fully functional camera) this marshmallow rom is stable for daily usage.

I'm just so hoping for better camera, then I'm sure I'm gonna begin to use your ROM.

Keep up the good work CLINTZ9. :good:

Asked my friend for his Z1 So i will probably build for Z1 . ETA somewhere around April 15 *fingers crossed* So someone upload the system/etc folder of the latest firmware(Xperia Z1 Honami)

Camera is fixed(i guess) it will be updated in the next binary zip by Sony

Also if anyone could do something about this https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/device-sony-amami/ it would be of great help

Ignore it and reboot, 5) follow other instructions in op.

2 things yes need in fastboot folder, 1) boot IMG, (not the one from this ROM, but a different one you can use recovery with), and 2) a recovery IMG. Then use 'fastboot flash boot boot.img, then 'fastboot flash recovery (filename).img'. Then you can boot into recovery.
