ROM name: XUN/CARBON Xperia UI Nougat
Original author: machao44/M-ROM

Description:
It is an CARBON-CR-5.1-based ROM for Xperia Z1 with some Sony Official Sources.. Topic on xda (the author no longer uploads new versions on xda).
My build is purged of chinese programs. Also I made some translations and improvements.

Features:
- Many built-in Sony libraries. The ability to install many original applications from Sony.
- Service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*). Is not completely working.
- There is one more service-menu *#*#4636#*#*. Checked - works and really switches modes. Just do not press "Select radio station" -> "USA". Otherwise you will have to reflash the modem-part of ROM.
- Ability to kernel selection during installation: Basic/LOS. LOS kernel is: slightly more smooth interface due to the "Disable overlay fix", and slightly lower power consumption. Probably something else
- Android security patch level: October 5, 2017
- Wi-Fi Direct
- Saving / limiting traffic
- Media server
- USB / Bluetooth tethering
- Mobile Access Point
- X-Reality for moblie
- ClearAudio +
- Dynamic Normalizer
- Surround sound (VPT)
- S-Force Front Surround
- Equalizer
- Headphone selection
- STAMINA / Ultra STAMINA

Instructions:
1. Unblock BL and flash real-recovery (TWRP):
- Download to PC file with TWRP (for example) twrp.img.
- On your phone, enter in the fastboot mode: Turn off the phone, hold the volume up, connect the usb cable, the indicator should turn blue.
- On the PC, open a command prompt and run the command: fastboot flash recovery C:\file_path\twrp.img
2. Make wipes: data, cache, system
3. Flash archive zip with ROM.
4. Gapps and SuperSU already embedded in the archive and are selecting to install.
5. Reboot

Bugs/Issues:
Usual for all Nougat for z1c:
- Not working AndroidPay through NFC.
- Sony Camera face/smile recognition is invalid
- Can't create SIM-Contacts/Import contacts to SIM
Other:
- Sony theme function is not normal
- Standard screen-recording app sometimes causes stuck. Similar programs are OK.
- Changing time zone causes reboot
- Google account settings don't work
- Standard call recording don't work
- Looks like "OK Google" voice search does not work
- The two upper STAMINA modes do not receive notification from social networks apps, even when adding a app to an exception
- During saving changes in the white balance in the settings, it will force close, but the changes will saved until you reopen it
There were mentions about:
- Auto-switching to 4g, while "only 3g" (probably switching only visual, but not real)
- Wifi and mobile signal worse approx by 10% than on stock ROM.
- There are problems with FM radio. You can listen to either stereo at a fixed volume, or mono, but with a working controller. We need to fix the mixer_paths file.
Probably don't work/work inproperly. Need testing:
- Screen Mirroring
- MHL
- Wi-Fi Direct
- Usb tethering
- Portable wi-fi hotspot
- Bluetooth tethering
- MMS
- Android wear/Bracelet
- Perhaps SIM with PIN causes reboot
- Perhaps problems with sending/receiving some SMS

Don't know if you saw posts on other M-ROM threads, but there was a strange issue in 2.3 and 2.3
1, where the rom wouldn't boot without SuperSU. No matter if you flashed original unmodified boot img or if you tried to flash different superuser, always bootloop, unless SuperSU modified boot img was there. Personally I don't like SuperSU, and I felt a little sketchy that it was like that...

Is SuperSU included in Aroma, and did you test without it, and confirm that it boots? Thanks

Also I'm on Z3c mainly now. Any chance of a Z3c version?

I didn't read those threads, version 2.4 is the first one, where there is support for z1c.
I confirm that we have bootloops without SuperSU or with another root manager.
Have you tried install another version of supersu?

P.S.: I will try make z3c version, but probably some things can not be done, because I do not have z3c.

Hey! I really like this rom, I've been waiting for a rom like this. The only thing is not working(at least for me) the sim card.The phone boots up(btw for me the boot logo,not the animation, is messed up.) It boots, and then asks for the sim card pin. After I write in ,it freezes, and it restarts. (it doesn't even put me in the setup guide)Without the SIM card, the rom is working perfectly fine. Please help! I really like that rom!

Hi. I installed [M-ROM] [7.1] v2.4.0 [amami] [Nougat 7.1.2] and I'm testing the third day. I really like the software, as if I got a new phone, for which I thank you very much. There are small bugs, they are not very significant, except for one: when connected to a computer via a USB cable, it does not see it. Charged, yes. Only the phone memory is visible if the phone is switched to TWRT?! Also there are no themes installed. In terms of productivity, ANTUTU is gaining 53.535?

It works for me. I clicked on the item in the notification menu and chose "Transfer File".
Didn't check for Antutu yet
