If you want a fully functional ROM, use Nougat.

If you want the most up-to-date ROM and can live with some issues like e.g. no video recording, use the preview Oreo builds.

I can not give any ETA about when (or even if) Oreo will become good enough for official builds.

I´ve installed the ROM with TWRP. It workes fine and I can use Nougat (thanks ;) ). Now I wanted to flash the Sony App Enabler https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/mod-sony-apps-enabler-install-sony-apps-t3590477 but I´m not able to boot into TWRP anymore. When the pink light is on and I press Volume Up button the orange/red light shines. What does that mean? I thought it means, that TWRP is loading. But then the light goes out, nothing happens and the phone reboots. I could do this the whole day :D How can I boot into recovery?

Are there any disadvantages of disabling HW Overlays?

Download TWRP 3.2.1 and flash it like this:

fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery.img

Hold the volume down button and turn on your phone. Now you can use TWRP. :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Peterthebrecker:
Where can I download the TWRP 3.2.1 for my Sony Z1 compact? Will my rom and all my pictures, music,... still be there? Could you link some instructions?

TWRP: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962021903579498659

Yes it will. Instructions are very simple. Download ADB and twrp recovery, rename it to recovery.img, copy to ADB folder, shift + right click open command prompt, fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery.img and you're done.

Hi guys! I'm using N 7.1 for about three months now and I want to say that this firmware is the best among the custom ones I've ever used on different devices. Thanks to the creators!

But there is a small problem with VPN connections: I use VPN connection type L2tp PSK. Everything connects fine and works, but when disconnection occurs (it's not important that I initiated the disconnect or it disconnected without my intervention), the phone immediately reboots. There is a chance that a bug fix in a nougat?

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] mulcahey:
Did Bitwarden screw me up?

I rebooted my phone and am now stuck on the AICP loading screen. I think it's related to my granting accessibility options to Bitwarden, a password manager. I was warned that this would mess with my encryption, and now I'm able to get into TWRP 3.0.3-0 without entering my pin. I'll backup my phone from TWRP, wipe it, reinstall AICP and reload my data, but I have some questions:

-If I'm reloading from the same data, will I have the same problem?

-Will I be able to backup to my SD card?

-Android doesn't differentiate between the internal storage and the SD card. Does TWRP? I don't want to accidentally wipe my SD card with my backup on it.

Hey guys, I'm a total noob on all this here, but I want to flash AICP to my z1c.

For one main reason, and therefore I need your help to answer this question:

Is it possible to save any installed app and all the app-data on the micro SD card instead of internal 16GB disc?

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] derjango:
No, misunderstanding :)

All my Apps are installed on the device hard disc by default. 95% Of hard disc are used by applications. And this slows down my device. I would like to have the possibility to install apps on the micro SD card only :)

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] matthies00:
hi guys,

i have AICP 12.1 on my Z1C, but i cant record movies with build in camera... can you suggest any reliable camera app for this rom?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Joline:
Hi,

I've also flashed the 12.1 right now and I faced the same issue: when I try to switch to video mode (or change to front camera) with the built-in camera the screen turns black and nothing happen. My solution for now I just use a third party app (open camera) which works fine. The bigger drawback on this is, that the Sony camera plugins (as blur or timeshift etc.) are not longer available. :(

And I have a more critical issue on my side: I cannot install any apk from a sd-card. Always there is a message like "parser error of apk". This message comes from the package manager and before the check whether an installation from "unkown source" is made. I've tried several apk, they are ok for sure.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] 115ek:
You have to disable HW Overlays in developer settings. Just search this thread. Maybe here: https://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/rom-aicp-11-0-mm-6-0-1-amami-t3428288/post74916552#post74916552

What about copying the apk's to internal storage before? Is it working then? I know it's just a workaround, but you don't install 10 apps every day, aren't you? ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] cittaslow:
Which gapps did you use? I tried 2 different gapps with this rom. Mini and Stock. Similar problems were encountered in the camera when using the mini package. But when I using the stock package, I did not have any problems in the camera. I think the camera problem is related to gapps packages.

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

I'm using Google Now Launcher. Is there any way to remove "Google Search" bar from main screen?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] 115ek:
With stock or super gapps package snap camera is replaced by google camera. That's why it works like using a third party app. Mini package doesn't include google camera so you have to disable HW overlays.

See this for comparison: https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Package-Comparison
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Joline:
I use Pico because I want to use as less Google apps as I can (and as it is still comfortable to me). Maybe I'll try to use the Sony Cam. But first I'll check the thread whether this port supports the plugins as blur etc.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Joline:
[MENTION=8036586]115ek[/MENTION]: Thank you. Copying the apk to the internal storage was the key. :) And also disable HW overlay works (for now). But as I wrote; I'll check the Sony Cam port. Maybe this works better.

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

In the meantime I've installed the Sony Cam but here is the same issue: disable HW Overlay to get it working. :( Its a pity because I liked that blur module. Anyway, I'll using Open Camera for now which is also a great camera app.

Hi, I've tried this ROM and it boot loops. I just couldn't get it to work.

Maybe it needs Stock ROM first?

So, I went through all the available ROMs for Xperia Z1C and found only 3 that were any good.

Lineage 18, CDroid, and Ressurection Remix.

I found RR the better of the 3.

Also can't get any terminal emulator to work...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] SpiritCroc:
Disable HALO while installing apps.

It's the default behaviour when a screen overlay gets detected; it might also be a third party app.

Could you provide more information? Terminal emulator from fdroid works for me.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
I never enabled halo, so it's still disabled. Tried disabling hw overlays in dev options, but didn't change anything. I've tried Terminal Emulator app and connectbot. I'll try some others...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
Figured it out, (kind of)... Since I couldn't get package installer to work, I copied apk files to /system/app. Seems like this is why terminals weren't working, for some reason. After I installed Fdroid, and used it to install Termux, (which worked fine), then I uninstalled Connectbot and reinstalled it, and now it works. As far as package installer, for some reason it will continue to show 'next' and not 'install' until I scroll to the right to see 'version info', then 'next' changes to 'install', and I can install app. Strangely, though, it's not on every app, just some. Maybe it's just hanging somehow...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Nash123:
Quadrooter scanner shows a vulnerability not fixed (CVE 2016-2504).

X-Ray Scanner shows one vulnerability (CVE 2014-4943).

Are these just false positives?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] SpiritCroc:
HALO was enabled by default in a past build. Also, disabling 'Show Halo button' in AICP Extras does not disable HALO, you have to disable HALO using the button in the statusbar header or using the HALO quicksetting.

HW overlays should not make any difference.

If it's indeed not HALO, please take a look at Apps/Advanced/Draw over other apps and revoke the permissions to see which app is overlaying your screen (if needed, you can also show system apps there by enabling it in the options menu).

It's normal that you have to click next until you have seen all permissions before you can click install. I have no idea why it should work on some apps and not for others...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Nash123:
Today I realized that telephone in-call volume is very low, although I had it on max. Could you please increase it within the ROM or do you have some ideas how I could do this on my own ? My other older ROMs were louder.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Nash123:
Thanks :) With todays nightly quadrooter scanner says all is well.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
Thanks... I'm definitely familiar with the usual aackage installer process. What I'm seeing iis that nothing happens just by hitting 'next' and flipping through the permissions until you get to 'install', but when installing some apps, 'next' will do nothing, no matter how many times I hit it. Only when ii slide the screen to the right to show 'app details' does it suddenly change from 'next' to 'install'.

Anyway, no big deal. I think it's just hanging for some reason.

what is the Status here? Is the ROM ready for daily use? Because it Looks really awesome and I want to try MM so bad.

How is the camera quality compared to the stock Rom or MX Rom Im currently using?

Thank you!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] levone1:
At some point recently people started getting camera fc. Up until that build, everything was fine. Not sure which build that was, but go back a week or two and try some. I have a backup of a good build. I can let you know when I flash back to it. Camera is not as good or as fast as stock/mx, but it is the best CM rom camera out there for Z1c.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] drbiggy:
i could fix dialer causing a restart by reflashing gapps.

so the latest build just has the camera issues.

usually i can get the camera to work for a few minutes by restarting and then using this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.exlyo.camerarestarter

everytime the rom boots, music app force closes. the camera restart app kills the media process ('/system/bin/mediaserver process, maybe the issues are connected?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] reapy0815:
Flashed the rom.

From what I saw so far its working. But a few things I noticed are:

-The clock on the lockscreen is oversized, from 09:41 it shows only the first two digits, so it looks like 09...

-AudioFX constantly crashes, but I dont need it (disabled it always when I was using CM) and I have no possibility to disable it

-Cant change the lockscreen wallpaper (only with a completely new design, but I want my own wallpaper)

Besides it seems to be pretty stable, but these few things are bothering me a little bit.

I used the build from 7th september.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] SpiritCroc:
AudioFX crashes are fixed in builds since Sep 12. (If you don't want to upgrade, you can uninstall AudioFX using the built in system app remover in AICP Extras.)

The clock on the lockscreen can be resized somewhere in AICP Extras (should be AICP Extras/lockscreen or similar)

Judging from the code, there should also be an option to set a custom lockscreen wallpaper on the same page, can't check now because I'm on Nougat.

somehow usable on a daily basis

Hi

I wanted to report my experience with this ROM. I use it on a daily basis.

For the most stuff, this ROM is amazing. The phone feels really fast, has very detailed privacy features (to limit the rights a certain app has etc.) and it is MM on a Z1 compact :p

Beside that, I have some problems with this ROM:

Proximity sensor not working. Random stuff gets touched and activated during phone calls.

After a few minutes the voice of the person on the phone starts to have drops. When I talk they don't hear me anymore at this time. With the next call the error happens earlier.

Charging is very slow when the magnetic connector is used. Charging on a PC is not possible, the LED is red, the charge keeps around the state it was (no charging happening), charging works normal with the Sony wall adapter and the USB port.

I hope someone can give me a hint to fix some of them if they are not related to this ROM.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] reapy0815:
Now I use the build from september 12th. AudioFX works here.

I have no problems with charging the phone, even on PC (can't speak for the magnetic wire, I dont have that), and since I do very little telephoning I cant say that I have a problem there.

But the camera has some issues. The focus often doesnt work very well, most of the time the pictures are very blurry, plus the photos are very dark, even in a well lighted room.

The camera isnt able to take a video, because the app crashes when I switch to video mode.

And one more thing: the microphone does not work that good. When I send someone a voice message via whatsapp or try to record something with an audiorecorder, it is veeeery silent. Have to put the volume to max to hear at least a little bit.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] prinz.z:
That sounds great, I'm thinking about installing it too to try it out. Which GApp package did you install? I read about some problems with the webview component? I'm also wondering about the reboots in MM, are they gone in 7.0?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] SpiritCroc:
Open GApps pico. Didn't have problems with webview yet. Didn't have many random reboots yet either, but sometimes when the phone tries to reboot, it gets stuck with black screen so it's seemingly off, but has to get forced off using power+volume up key combination before being able to boot again. Also, recently I noticed that sometimes I need to wipe cache because otherwise it wouldn't connect to the internet. That issue only appeared with a later version than the one I uploaded, though.

Because of the early stage of Nougat development, builds aren't updated regularly and not always up-to-date, but you can of course test and report if you want. Also, don't forget that you need real recovery for now.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] prinz.z:
So far, I noticed that I lost Android Auto compatibility & my Signal messenger broke (I'm not able to open conversations there). I can confirm the problem you described with reboot and I had difficulties with the charger once but a (forced) reboot helped so far.

Besides that it's quite stable for this early stage :good:

Edit: I just realized that battery consumption is quite heavy all the time..
