New version added, only 197 mb in zip. See download section...

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Here is my tribute to Cyanogenmode team and their great success in creating lightning speed roms.

This rom is based on my Aoba Pure Black, but instead of the original size of 390 mb, this version has only 240 197 mb in zip. This is as close to CM roms (190 mb) as possible. I believe this is the first stock based rom of this size. In addition to removing usual Google/Social/Sony bloat, I took great care to get rid of literally hundreds of unnecessary files in framework and lib directories. As a result, the rom is (in my view, of course) as fast, fluid and ram available, as CM roms, but with the added benefit of good battery life. Your Android OS won't take more than 4-6% of battery life. At the same time, the rom has all the usual and latest Xperia Z1 features: honami framework/icons/animation.

The idea was to improve on something that is hard rock stable, as opposed to doing Kitkat, which is ages away from stability on the part of Google and the development community without negating the latter's great work.

DESCRIPTION:

1. Fully deodexed, rooted, busyboxed, debloated (3rd party GAPPS still work), black themed version.
2. Based on JB 4.1.2/.96 version ported by me
3. Honami Framework with fully black UI including Phone, Contacts, Calendar, Clock, Calculator, Home (7 icons), Quick Settings, Volume Panel et al
4. CPU Control, Led Control, SMS Counter and OEM Dock in Settings
5. Apollo player and CM file manager
6. AOSP lock screen with new vertical animation
7. Nexus Camera with all resolutions (no stock camera)
8. Only 240 197 mb in size (zipped)
9. On first start about 375-385 mb of ram available
10. Regular boot is under 30 seconds
11. Blue themed dynamic boot animation
12. Ready to go APN settings for many countries

CREDITS: Niabok and JJwrongJJ for Honami Framework, Hitfan for 7 icon Home, Avik6123 for latest Z1 apps, CM team for Apollo, CM File manager and APN settings. PM me if I forgot you.

INSTALL INSTRUCTION

1. Have 211 JB stock kernel, Roger Baseband (if your have LT28i or AT&T versions) and CWM
2. Enter recovery, go to Mounts and Storage, mount System/Cache/Data and format each. Remember, factory reset is not enough!
3. Install the rom, reboot and let it settle
4. Go to Settings/Display/Quick Settings and choose Quick Settings for black, as opposed to SystemUI for white
5. Enable Wifi/Data, then go to Settings/Wifi/Advanced and tick stay on when screen is off, if you use VOIP services
6. Install CWM and you are all set
7. Enjoy the rom and hit Thank you/Donate or both :)

P.S. Rom and GAPPS are in Download Section

No problems to report. Spent a few minutes testing everything and loving it so far. Thanks so much for this awesome rom.

the T-9 functionality is missing in the dialer. Is it possible to enable it or do you recommend another app?

Try the attached...

Unzip (don't flash), manually move to system/apps with right permissions and reboot.

Stamina causes more problems than benefits. That's why I removed it.
