If you have real recovery, you don't have to do the whole fastboot thing in op. You can't use old recovery with this kernel. As far as the ROM itself, its excellent. Everything seems to work great, except contact sync for some reason, (I just did it with vcf). Camera is good, and there are ports/3rd party camera apps that can help, but it's still not as good as Sony can.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] freeman94:
So ur saying that I need to have new bootloader with real recovery and then replace it with new twrp 3.0.2 on that partition?

Cuz I dont understand this new bootloder thing and this real recovery.

I was flashing roms on prevously xperia devices such as xperia arc, xperia x8,x10,xperia U and only I waas unlocking bootloader and instaling cwm or twrp recovery that all.

Now it seems that normal recovery isnt enough.

Currect me if I'm wrong, prevously there was kernel based recoverys with was not permanent with could be uninstall, broken or anything.

Now we have special recovery partition avaible with isn't normally accessable, (restricted by developer in this scenerio sony) so we could just hard-install the new recovery without risk of damage it system wise. So It could stay on recovery partition without any risk?

And 2nd so if its they're own real-recovery does it do what twrp is doing? Cuz maybe there is no reason to replace this new recovery if it does the same. Does this rom and others flash trough this recovery?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] levone1:
New BL is not a recovery itself, but enables real recovery. You still need to flash a recovery IMG, (TWRP, e.g.). There's no problem with using old recovery if you prefer, but it won't work with this ROM, so you'll have to flash a different kernel temporarily so you can get into recovery to flash su, etc., then when done, flash the AOSP kernel so you can boot.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] freeman94:
So I will install this new bootloader with real-recovery as its future-proof and would be better supported by ROM developers, and less problematic.

For now, its all, If I would have more question I will ask.

Thank you for help.

I'm joining the pack guys - just finishing my backup and will give it a go!

More real testers should be in help, I guess... So will share my thoughts after a bit of testing.

I really hope that I will be able to use it as a daily ROM - with cell+data working as expected :)

Could someone, please, let me know what governors are included in the aosp kernel? Thanks in advance!

I installed today it, right now have few questions, does someone tried to use this with xposed? and another one, if anyone else have camera movement very.. sharp, idk it's like low fps, front camera is fine only sometimes have little chokes, but main camera is like a slide show. Or anyone esle use some other camera with this rom. atm just 10 minuts installed. After i will give more feedback.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Pacolin:
I've just flashed too... it seems pretty fast! Nice job done... Had to boot the recovery.img (real recovery) with fastboot and then flashed the sim, gapps and supersu. So far so good :)

Just ended up (once again) with a corrupted partition on my microSD card but with a quick "chkdsk /f" it is up and running once again :)))

Will post further info after a bit of testing ;)

Keep up the good work, devs ;)

Good job, I like the ROM!

Would be great if you could include security patch updates..:good:

Today i was making some configurations with system and i was need to restart it.. After i had a battery drp from 60 to 25 %, i tried to do more few, but it stay at 25 and goes lower. How i can add a simple restart options to power menu ? Because right now i have to switch off and than turn it on again, which pretty annoying.. All other works fine and smooth. I tasted few games, gta sa and more few heavy, looks like performance is a bit not so stable, i having some fps chokes.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] freeman94:
There is something odd with battery on this rom. I install yesterday and today im back on stock 5.1.1

The UI performance is uber-fast so smooth, but the in games or demanding apps its worse.

Antutu benchmark is giving me 45 000 points witch is low as on stock 5.1.1 im getting over 49 000.

One thing to consider, the camera is still very bad. I tought that its working fine and only quality is little worse but its all way down broken, slow downs, FC etc.

But keep up the good work.

BTW. How could I restore the funcionalty of Bravia, Engine BIONZ, from my stock backup 5.1.1?

I try the DRM restoration features but it didn't work.

And if I restore the TA Backup I will probly relock bootloader with I don't want for now as I will probably test more roms in a near future.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] levone1:
Use APM+ from Xposed for power menu. I've had the same problem with sudden battery drop, and haven't figured it out yet. Somehow I think its something to so with kernel, but not sure. Every once in a while, when I power off, it will show 'shutting down' with a spinner, but not shut off, or when I restart, I'll get black screen after Sony logo, and it will never start. After restarting, when these things happen, my battery has dropped 20-30%.

Anyway, it's hard to have a hard time about it when my phone is so heavily modded. The real test would be to run it without all of the system's mods, and see if it still does it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Emupyyy:
Yeah it's still does, I re flashing the rom all day long... First I thought on closed too, apm caused bricks if I try to change design. After phone stop boot after I forced to stop google start, same with Google app by itself. But why I turned back to lp, is bcoz I simply cannot call nobody. Sometimes phone app just giving reboot, sometimes stuck for a while, call goes, but I don't hear anything, not sure if on other side hear me too.. I checked the permissions, phone app doesn't have even permission to use mic. All day long try to make it call, tried different phone apps, but always same result. Simply I don't hear anything after I started call, and sound come back only when call ends. 3g/4g working fine. But without possibilities to call this rom is useless.. Maybe someone know why can be this? Xposed and other stuff working fine, just need to be careful with settings, some functions cause bricks. I realized that something wrong with calling, bcoz I couldn't receive viber activation at all, while what'sup doing it easily. First phone was just stuck on call, after some amount of re flashes it doesn't stuck or reboot, just no sound during call. One more thing, when u call and try to change volume it get stuck for while. All the problems I had with this rom was no possibility to delete Google app and some other, like Google start and another default launcher. App drain is actually mess with statistics, I had after I did reboot (exactly reboot) from apm or xposed module, while battery was charging.I
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] levone1:
Been using this ROM since day 1, and none of those probs. Besides the battery issue, which is maybe once every day or two, everything is great - phone calls, mobile data, BT, etc. Battery life is good for non-stock, and last update brought increase in camera and faster battery charge, (it took 3 1/2 hours to full charge before). I would suggest a full wipe or fresh install.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] CLINTZ9:
Calling works?

Can the other person hear you and can you hear the other person?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] levone1:
Working. I just checked again when I saw your post. I'm surprised that you're surprised... Does it not work for you?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Spartan42:
This bug is well known by my.

I've had it one year ago on my Xperia Z with OmniRom 5.1 and CM12.1. In my case the Issue was caused by the GApps-package I used. After the use of an older package from the Paranoid-Team it works. Maybe it's here the GApps too?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Emupyyy:
Strange thing, is that I always doing full wipe begore install.. Today I flashed it 10 times with full wipe and in all that times all I reached is that phone doesn't stuck anymore while calling, but I doesn't hear anything anyway. I also tried different recoveries, since there's no difference I used 3.0.2 as last. I tried first flash gapps after sim than visa versa.. Doesn't change a thing, sometimes I had a successful flash after first try, I did especially more few, maybe missing some, but with same result.. Strange thing is that I don't have anymore msg no os installed after I flash rom.. And if I look in file manager in recovery exactly after wipe is still there some files. But in first time I had a working sim and viber was working too.. Than I started configuration with gravitybox and get brick. Restored with official 238, than full wipes and after always that problem with sim.. Tomorrow I will try once again with old recovery on stock rom. But in the beginning was working all good, I just didn't check calls cause was late nite, in the morning was already after another wipe than I noticed first this trouble.

Any mm gapps will work with it? I will also try different one cause I think too there some problem there.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] CLINTZ9:
Yes any mm gapps will work but you need to delete setupwizard.apk from the zip else you'll get continuous fc's
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Emupyyy:
But for you calling is working right? im the only one with such trouble?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Emupyyy:
Tried other gapps but nothing changed, after full wipe I still can't hear any sound while calling. I receive sound from others, I can hear everything I mean ( if they call me) but they don't hear nothing from me.. And when I try to make a call I hear zero sounds, but call goes fine. But in cases when I make call by myself, I also don't hear nothing from others.

Hi all!

Tried the Rom, but something wrong with the gapps, like the some other guys, especially the contact sync. It has to be fixed. And I did a restart, and my sim card disappeared. Don't know how could that happened, but it did. I know it's an early-bird. But it needs some tweaking. But all there is really good ROM. Keep up the good work.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] nozz93:
Not sure if it was already mentioned but it seems like the Bluetooth MAC address is not properly initialized (starts with 00:00:00).

Also, the notification LED isn't very bright. This was once a problem on CM too, I'm not sure how it was fixed though.

Sweet mate, I've just deleted system/etc/acdbdata, rebooted and OMG it is working ;)

I can't get the recovery working from the phone though... Still booting it from fastboot (vol- & plugging the usb cable works fine) ... Will try today once again and then I'm after installing Xposed ;)

Battery life is good - maybe even better than in my last ROM (RockZ1 LP 5.1.1). I'm using Greenify to reduce drain from Messenger and other apps which tend to work aggressively in background.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] jinghis01:
Than I don't know what I did wrong. But it was quite suspicious, that I had to log in the contact app, and in the play separately. Can you give me a hint about that?

[Xposed Framework Development] purpleman2k:
Hi guys.

I'm trying to do something really simple - replace the file res/xml/rowkeys_qwerty1.xml of the Google Keyboard app (com.android.inputmethod.latin) with an altered one using an xposed module.

I did this:

1. I altered the XML file and put it under res/xml of my module project.

2. I created a class that implements IXposedHookZygoteInit, IXposedHookInitPackageResources with the following code:

resparam.res.setReplacement("com.google.android.inputmethod.latin", "xml", "rowkeys_qwerty1", modRes.fwd(R.xml.rowkeys_qwerty1));

The problem is - "R.xml" doesn't know what rowkeys_qwerty1 is.

Furthermore, the content of the altered XML file is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<merge
xmlns:latin="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.inputmethod.latin">
<Key latin:keySpec="A" />
</merge>

And when I try to build the project I get the message:

error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'keySpec' in package 'com.android.inputmethod.latin'

I guess I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this?

Again, all I really want to do is make sure the Google Keyboard apps loads my altered XML (that I'm including in my module resources) instead of the one that's built into the app's apk.

Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Development] purpleman2k:
Anyone?...

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] okmikel:
I have an issue with latest twrp 3.1.0 on my Z00L with Snaptragon 615.

I converted data to f2fs and restored them from nandroid backup (with latest CM14.1 nightly installed on device). Everything went fine and my data now are on f2fs. Even my encryption key was preserved (I use data encryption on data partition, disk-encryption mode).

But now when I boot in TWRP, TWRP asks for my PIN. I enter it, the last message I see is something like "Updating partition details" in log window, the devices does a reboot while vibrating for 5 seconds or so.

If I do enter the PIN in startup but do it later in TWRP via "Mount->Decrypt data" my data partition is mounted fine.

Hi,

Already installed twrp v3.1.1 in my z00l.

I formatted system /data/cache.

Trying to install stock latest rom but error is coming saying you can not install android M on android 7.1.2.

My question how it is finding info about android 7.1.2. As i already formatted. Is there any way to erase this info.

I was able to install stock Rom using back2stock package but curious to know about this.

Please suggest .

Thanks

I have twrp 3.1.1 in z00l.

In twrp, reboot/power off only working but bootloader and reboot recovery is not working.

Any suggestions..?

Thanks
[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] Zugschlus:
Hi,

can you elaborate a bit on that "no"? Does that mean that the ZE500KL (currently?) does not have a working TWRP available?

my issue is that I can flash twrp-3.1.0-Z00L.img to my device, but fastboot oem reboot-recovery brings me to a screen saying "ASUS In search of incredible, powered by android", and the device stops in this stage. Same thing happens with "fastboot reboot" while holding down the volume down key directly after flashing.

The bootloader on the device seems to be one that is stripped down a lot over the bootloaders that I know from other android devices. It just says "Fastboot mode !!! long press power key to restart system". I can fastboot flash from there, but it doesnt react at all to the volume keys and I therefore have no possibility to instruct it to boot recovery.

And, to make things complete, fastboot boot twrp.img ends up with "booting... FAILED (remote: dtb not found).

Any hints how to go on from here?

Greetings

[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] LuK1337:
Our board config doesn't support it at all.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] Zugschlus:
"Our" as in "TWRP" or in "LineageOS"?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] LuK1337:
Both.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] Zugschlus:
Pardon me for asking again, so buying the the ZE500KL was a really bad idea for a LineageOS phone with no chance of ever having LineageOS on the device?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] LuK1337:
Yes. I will never support this device.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] Zugschlus:
Thanks for being so candid.

My device is a ZE500KL Z00ED, and I found an unofficial TWRP and an unofficial LineageOS here at https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-2-laser/development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3520986.

Those flashed like a charm and the device works now with LineageOS.

The static Asus Logo was obviously the wrong TWRP crashing, leaving the device with the older display contens.
