[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Mr_nUUb:
Hi! You have following options:

- disable hardware overlays in developer options (must be done after every reboot)

- flash the zip somewhere in this thread to disable them permanently

- add a quick switch to disable them on demand (like I did)

I use this ROM several months as my daily driver and it is great. I use OpenCamera (really good camera) and Magisk (root that passes SafetyNet), too.

The only known problem: NFC payment is not working because of an old chipset that is not supporte anymore.

EDIT: some more information:

BT, WiFi, mobile data, phone, camera, NFC, GPS tested and working (GPS is fast as hell).

NFC payment not working.

Tethering (USB, BT, WiFi) and USB host mode not tested.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] tbo_:
My experiences are the same as above - a very stable rom, very suitable for daily use. Everything I need - Phonecalls,SMS, Camera, GPS, Music... - is working like charme. The additional security features (app privileges) are giving me a much better feeling than using stock rom. Btw - many thnaks to those who made this possible!

I am using the stock-camera-port https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/port-stock-camera-nougat-roms-t3628791 . If the app seems to crash, check hw-overlay (see above, go to -> settings -> developer -> disable hw-overlay).

I posted a minor issue earlier - still I can't get the weather-service on my homescreen - at the moment I am not sure wether this is a rom issue or if it ist caused by the plugin from the lineage-extras...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Mr_nUUb:
Does the port really work on Z1C? The first post reads "Xperia Z1(c will be soon)". Soon (TM)...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] tbo_:
Yes, I can confirm the camera-port is working. By now I was only testing the app itself - there are quiete some creative plugins. I didn't test those, but the the "standard app" lets me adjust all settings oder does it automaticly etc. I am able to take 20mp pix, autofocus working etc... I am not a pro in camreas and code, but to me it looks pretty good...

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

Actually this minor issue is solved as well. I played around with the aicp settings, the weather provider (openweathermap now) and removed the clock several times. May be one has to set up the widget first and than add the widget to the homescreen... Anyway, it's working now, which makes the rom pretty perfect to me :- )

Once again - two thumbs up for the devs!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] kokolino727:
thanks so much, everything works perfect ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Poll300:
Congratulations, a very good system comes as you need to do exaggerated additions great !! but I have a question about the root how to do it? do I add the right zip file or how when installing in twrp? and in Aicip extras - update center I downloaded Suaddon.zip and how to install it? I am entering the option to download and install I choose the option and I can not do anything !!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] SpiritCroc:
You can flash it manually in TWRP, automatic flashing from update center is unfortunately not working reliably since reboot to recovery is broken right now so it's best to do it manually
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Poll300:
I understand then you have to try to upload

and what about the overclocking of the processor? will the built-in kernel give the possibility of setting, for example, 2.8 / 3.0 ghz? possibly how to set it or which kernel will allow it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] lm089:
Hi, happy holidays everyone.

Just installed the latest nightly (20171223), looking forward to use it :).

But at the moment I'm having trouble restoring my backup data: I'm using a 128 GB SD card which has 2 partitions; one is formatted as ExtFS and was used as internal storage. The other is formatted as FAT32.

With my recently installed ROM this worked great, but this ROM here keeps telling me that I cannot use the FAT32 partition telling me it is damaged. Same applies to an Fat32 formamtted USB Stick connected via OTG.

Any idea what I could do to access those partitions / devices?

EDIT:

once more searched the thread and this time found another post dealing with the same issue. So I'll give that a try...

EDIT #2:

fine, exFAT seems to work. So this means I'll have to reformat at least one USB stick from FAT32 to exFAT.

Just for the sake of knowledge: is there any specific reason why exFAT is supported but FAT32 is not?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] kokolino727:
overclock/underclock cpu and gpu working on stock kernel - based in this rom? u can try to install kernel auditor but i dont see oc in settings, on this device probably working duble tap to wake up
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Poll300:

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] kokolino727:

Anyone having issues adding AICP tiles to the quick pulldown menu?

When I edit my quick pulldown menu, I can drag the standard tiles into the top easily (tiles like WiFi, GPS, etc.) But if I try to drag any of the AICP tiles (like Disable HW Overlays) the tile disappears before I can get it to the quick pulldown bar at the top. Anyone else having this issue?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Viktor245:
I have only tile: LiveDisplay
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] SpiritCroc:
It's an issue on our build servers, when using my "unofficial" builds it should work

That's probably a bug from AOSP, but happens more often on AICP because of the amount of QS tiles we have. As a workaround, increase your QS columns so more tiles per row are displayed and the "travelling distance" is not as long and the tile does not get lost. (On Oreo, it's also possible to just click the tile to add/remove, but I think we don't have this on Nougat)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] lm089:
:good: meanwhile I transformed most of my USB pendrives to exFAT...

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] PaNoSM98:
The default lockscreen shortcuts (Camera and Google Assistant) require lockscreen security to open. Is it normal for this ROM or is there an option to change that?

:silly::p:D Happy new year!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] DarknessSpactre:
Hello, tell me please what version of TWRP should be install or give the desired boot.img. I tried the TWRP 3.1.1, the firmware was installed, but now this recovery is not loaded. When install core with TWRP 3.0.2. the system did not start, I had to install ROM again. After installing ROM, the recovery also does not start.

Or do I need to install the recovery through ADB?

---------------------------------------------

I got it, I had to flash the recovery through ADB team: fastboot flash recovery name.img

---------------------------------------------

I had another question, the recovery does not load from the device's shutdown menu (OS), the device reboots a second time. Can I fix this?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] DemonMaster89:
I just successfully flashed AICP rom based on this post from my stock rom few days ago before new year:

Here's my recommendation:

1) Backup TA partition - https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/universal-dirtycow-based-ta-backup-t3514236

2) Unlock bootloader - https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/

3) Flash this kernel before TWRP using fastboot - https://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z...rnel-advanced-14-5-0-242-kernel-v1-0-t3096060

4) Flash TWRP using fastboot - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767147235

5) Remain off your z1 compact for few seconds, hold volume down button first then power button, release power button after vibration occurs to enter TWRP.

6) You may now enjoy flashing AICP rom! :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] lm089:
This is described as a minor bug somewhere in this thread, if not on OP. So apparently it can't be fixed, at least not the easy way
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] mulcahey:
I've found that if I launch the camera via the dedicated camera button it bypasses lockscreen security. Agree, though, that it would be nice to launch from lockscreen w/o going through security.

GPS very poor

Hi everybody,

since yesterday I am running aicp_amami_n-12.1-NIGHTLY-20171230.zip, which seems to run VERY stable and VERY well on my dd5503.

However i recognized, that GPS is pretty poor. It takes ages until in finds some satellites (GPS is in GPS device only mode!).

From my balcony (nearly clear sky) no position in Google Maps is shown (which worked with stock rom before).

Can anyone confirm poor GPS behaviour? Do you know, what could possibly be wrong?

many thanks in advance

i appreciate your effort!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] lm089:
Yep, same here. That's why I returned to munjeni's unofficial LineageOS ROM where GPS performance is not as good as it was with stock but much better as with this one here. Which is really sad as I really like this ROM, AICP indeed has quite a lot of advantages. But a good working GPS driver is crucial for me
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Snapdrag1:
Screen Mirroring dont work. Tested with Samsung and Sony tv. The phone finds the tv but could not connect.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] SpiritCroc:
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As of this date ALL 12.1 official builds will be stopped on the servers.

We hesitated a long time, but as we are focussing on Oreo (v13.1 = 8.1.0) and the bringup of the devices we own, it is not easy or possible for the team to update/maintain Nougat builds any longer.

So, if you are on Nougat, backup or save your build, there will not be more official ones.

If you recieve an OTA update for 13.1, please keep in mind that it has to be clean flashed and you should backup to an external storage before doing it.

We will, of course not reject unofficial Nougat builds, if someone wants to do those, but please do not come here and complain about non-working features, bugs. etc.

#StayIceCold
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] dmgZero:
Thank you for such a long support. Except to you, and your team, no one else does official releases for Z1C.

What are the chances of fixing problems with mobile data and camera on Oreo?

P.S.: Perhaps you will make the final Nougat-build on your computer with a working FAT32 for SD-card/OTG-flash?:)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] mulcahey:
Thank you for your continued support of this phone!

What does clean flashed mean in this context? Do we have to wipe data before we update to 13? And if so, can we restore data via Titanium/TWRP, or will that mess things up? Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] nhicko95:
looking forward to it sir :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] omkarmahananda:
finally..thank you so much.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] SpiritCroc:
Mobile network is driving me mad, a proprietary binary is throwing an error I don't understand, and since it's closed source is difficult to debug...

For camera, I still have some ideas on what to do next, but have concentrated more on mobile data recently.

I still have the Nougat source on my PC so I can probably do a build if wanted, maybe will do later, but I won't test it so flash on your own risk (as always :)).

Yes, clean flash requires wiping data (in TWRP, you can just wipe "factory reset" and you should be fine).

Restoring data using TWRP won't work properly, using Titanium Backup is not recommended since it can cause issues (especially when restoring system data), but will probably work for user installed apps (worked for me).

@SpiritCroc: just found an updated zip on your "test build" site (AICP-n7.1_amami_20180113_1611.zip); could you please give us a rough idea in regards to differences towards the latest "official" nightly build (aicp_amami_n-12.1-NIGHTLY-20180106.zip)? Is it just the added FAT32 support mentioned earlier or probably also something else?

Thanks in advance ;)

Upgraded test-build from 20171008 to 20180113 without issues. Thank you! :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Ali Kemal:
Thank you for your hard work! Yesterday I replaced latest stock Lollipop with 20180113 and I am really surprised. Everything works great without any problems. Also GPS performance reported by some people is in my opinion satisfactorily. On the other hand I did not find way to change navigation bar behaviour on long click etc, also GravityBox settings are ignored. Xposed module "Disable Desk Dock" is not working, it's not your fault but if you know a way how to ignore magnetic charger connecting I will be happy. And my last question is if there is a way to enable Camera2 API? These are only details and once again thanks for this fast and stable ROM!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] SpiritCroc:
AICP uses smartbar instead of the AOSP navigation bar which has its own feature-rich customization options (including longpress) so GravityBox won't work with it. Usage of Xposed is not recommended and won't receive any support by me or anybody of the AICP team. There might be a way to enable Camera2 API using build.prop, but changing this is as well neither supported nor recommended.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Viznu93:
I am not able to download the new version. Can we receive an ota instead ? This would b helpful
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] SpiritCroc:
There are currently no official builds out since old builds get deleted from the server, we're only building oreo for now and oreo for amami is not ready. You can get unofficial builds here
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] fidi_h:
I tested your latest build. No problems to get it up, but no way to connect to my WiFi access point. The SSID wasn't shown in the list of accessable WiFi networks (other were!). I'm using an N-Type AVM router, non hidden SSID, WPA2 protection, no MAC filter (nothing weird at all). A repeater using same SSID is also present. WPS or preconfiguration of my SSID and password didn't work either. Any idea?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] DcR-Nl:
I'm also unable to find the SSID of (and connect to) my 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network on the latest test build, however my 5 GHz network works just fine. Changing the region to Europe (under WiFi - > Advanced) doesn't help. But maybe it works for you.

In ruter setting, try change wireless chanel to lower value. E.g. When i have set chanel to 13, my phone can't see it, but on lower value can.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] DcR-Nl:
thanks for the suggestion. I've tried 1 until 13 (and 20/40mhz channel bandwidth). It's still not finding the 2.4ghz wifi access point. Works fine on other devices, though.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] MARR_PT:
Try changing the encryption type of the WiFi or leaving the WiFi with no password and see if now you can connect. I got the same problem, but with the 5ghz access point.

Wow! Thanks for this ROM! Works great on my Z1 Compact D5503. :) For me the recovery is not working (not from reboot). I trun off the phone, press the Volume Up, Orange led pops up, and restart.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] SpiritCroc:
Unfortunately, there has not been much progress concerning the main issues for amami oreo (network, camera).

I'm planning to release a new test build soon though, considering there have been lots of changes ROM-side since the last build.

To reach recovery, either

- Turn your device off, press and hold volume down while powering on

or

- Press a volume button during splash screen when the notification led lights up

(given that you have installed real recovery, as described in the flash instructions)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] SpiritCroc:

guys, this phone make me sick.

HOW TO INSTALL this rom?

i try from stock KK, i did this - https://youtu.be/Coju6QlwmSM

from "a" to "t"

than a have dual TWRP 2.8.7.0 and i make that:

in TWRP

- full wipe (dalvik, cach, system, data)

- instal AICP-n7.1_amami_20180113_1611.zip (2 lines in red - "wrong command" or something)

- install open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20180304.zip

everything look's good but....

after reboot the phone is bricked, screen has artifacts!

completly not response, not booting to system, twrp or stock recovery.

i can only enter to FLASHMODE and make it from the beginning....

any ideas?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] jho55:
You should first update to latest stock rom to get real recovery. Of course you need an unlocked bootloader. With the EMMA tool from Sony you can directly update an unlocked phone to latest lollipop.

When get TWRP. And do the steps you did in TWRP.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] remont5:
Ok thank you very much

I have unlocked bootloader now.

Can you tell me few things?

- which version of latest stock should I flash (lollipop?) Flashing by flashtool?

- how to root this stock, possible to make it via rootkit?

- how then flash recovery? I tried many version of twrp and always it was crap (artifact on screen and brick phone)

- in the end - can I flash AICP with gapps?

In every of my phone's I had AICP, I made it many times on many phone's and only Xperia don't like me...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] DeadXperiance:
The latest stock for Z1c is 14.6.A.1.236. You can flash stock ftf via flashtool.

Then root any well known method, read this. If you have unlocked bootloader, you can flash twrp from fastboot.

Yes, you can flash AICP with gapps. I suggest pico gapps for smooth experience.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] jho55:
Download the Sony Flashtool (Emma) from here:

https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool

Select the Z1C and install latest Firmware. Should be Lollipop 5.1.1.

Then you have real recovery. If you never updated to an official Sony Lollipop you do not have it! And you need it!

Hm, i think with open bootloader you do not need to root. Just flash TWRP and from there install AICP.

edit: After flashing AICP you can get root via SuperSu or Magisk.

How do you flash TWRP? With fastboot?

edit: how to correctly flash TWRP: https://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/twrp-3-0-1-amami-t3350827

See the first post. After having the newest Lollipop you have real recovery. That means you should use the second option from that post.

OpengApps.org package should work. You have to know if you have ARM or

ARM64 and which Android version the AICP is using.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Peterthebrecker:
Should I wait for the next official Oreo release? Or should I install this one? How long do we have to wait?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] jho55:
There is already a AICP 13.1 thread on the Z1C forums here...

still artifacts after flashing AICP + gapps (fresh downloaded) and bricked z1c
