I don't have my bootloader unlocked so I can't flash it :/ But I think that there will be a lot of people who will check this out

Look at the thread in the dev section dude

know issue are:
* camcorder (fixed but not released)
* data (data must be disabled to make call)
* gps

I am new here but I thought we could flash CWM even with a locked bootloader and thus install any ROMs :-S

Bootloader has to be unlocked to flash a new kernel. And the recovery doesn't have permissions to overwrite the kernel so you have to boot into flash mode (or fastboot???) which requires an unlocked bootloader.

I am tempted to flash this though but I'm not exactly ready to unlock my bootloader yet

Woo! Now all we need is a non-convoluted way to root 4.3 and we're set.

Convoluted?
Just unlock bootloader -> flash any kernel with recovery -> flash CM

Maybe he means backup TA direct from 4.3?

Oh it can overwrite the kernel alright, but a locked bootloader will only boot kernels signed with Sonys private key, which we can't get.

Rom is very fast
Camera work lag 3 sec on start
Bt work

Hmm is there an easy way to root 4.3 yet? I mightve missed it.

My first Test

Tested just a few minutes now ...

Hardware: C6903 with unlocked BL
wiped everything, flashed Cm11 Experimental and it flashed the full system AND a new kernel "3.4.0cyanogenmod-g8402fcb"
flashed no gapps for now, as this is just a quick test ...

First boot without problems, camera works (little bit unstable but works), wifi works, modem works (tmobile de at full signal)
UI themes to be very fast and stable
RAM-Usage / -free : 754MB / 0,92GB
Internal Storage usage / free : 192MB / 12GB
NFC is on but doesnt seem to work, but not enough tested -> need to have a look on it
Mobile Data (3G AND E) is keeping the modem to reset (signal -> 0 (think it's turned off) and then starts up again with full signal, as 3G or E is displayed it turns off again) if i turn wifi on and no mobile data is active, the signal stays constant (taken a call allready, works fine)

So far ... if mobile data is working, this may be a nice build for "nearly daily test usage" ...

Hello, I just unlocked my Z1 3 days ago and Im testing the new experimental ROM.

I would like to support you by letting you know the problems I realized this ROM has:


1.- data traffic doesnt work and also, if activated, makes you cannot send or receive any calls or sms because it makes the network fail. (I think this is the most important bug).

2.- Locator or GPS doesnt work at all.

3.- Camera works but it takes over 3-4 seconds to start working. Also the video cam make it crashes. Video cam doesnt work at all.

4.- Torch doesnt work nor the app neither when making pictures.

5.- I cannot volume down the music when headphones are connected.

6.- The buzz or sound when you push any icon, app, main manu button, etc, crashed once to me and it sounds so horrible, I had to shut the system down and boot it again to sort it out.

7.- There is no option to make our network works as 2G; there is only option to run as 3G.

8.- I got some problems while trying to restore all my contact I had by copying them from the SIM card and from the SD card; I finally achieved it going to the file explorer and running manually the file which contents the backup of my contacts.

9.- There's no options menu into the screen where are shown all the app's in order to sort them as most used, alphabetically, etc.

NEW ADDED: 10.- It doesnt unmount the SD card or seems like it doesnt.

NEW ADDED (2): 11.- There is no option to save the pictures and videos made with the camera directly in the SD Card. Also no option to move the pictures and videos in the internal storage to the SD Card.

I think the 5 first points are the most important, but the most one is the first one. That's my opinion about preferences.

Anyway, thanks for this new great job.

Im just waiting for an update impaciently.

Regards.

Hey,

I unlocked my boot loader recently and have begun testing the experimental roms. After the previous post I waited until the latest one was released to test it out. I can confirm that the data problems have been resolved and have been using this rom for the past few days.

The main problems I have encountered are:

- Videos within apps such as Facebook or trailers on IMDB play however the picture is corrupted.
- Occasionally apps will randomly close most of the time its the internet browser (no error, it just closes)
- The camera still lags and isn't fluid at all however takes pictures fine.

I think overall there is definitely room for improvement however I have been using it fine for the last few days and it seems quite stable overall.

One problem I did have and I don't know if anyone can help me with it was that I flashed the rom with TWRP however upon rebooting into the new version of CM my recovery was CWM.

CM auto installs CWM as this is what it uses instead of TWRP

I have just moved from a HTC One (which I modded and flashed a lot of ROM's) to Xperia Z1 C6903 but unrooted etc atm
I will be checking things out in the next few weeks or so and see whats out there for my Z1

Just a test build, pre-nightly. Do not install. Early in Feb or March we will have update for KitKat from Sony. Just wait and calm down.
