@allerd @Özgün Özerk @yoorie016 @buckfyter @gaseoso @Pryx, anyone whom I may have missed, all the beta testers, everyone else:


Thanks a lot guys. With your amazing support and generous donations, I have now reached ~ 175/415 USD. Here's how its going so far:

I really hope I would reach the required amount before the lollipop is released. I never expected this kind of support from everyone, I can't possibly explain how happy and grateful I am about it. I can assure you that you will see my enthusiasm and appreciation when I pay you guys back by creating the most awesome ROM ever as soon as I buy a new Z1. Thanks a lot again. Its really appreciated.

Cheers,
iHackers


You're welcome! I hope i can find time to give you something for your Z1 since I'm so busy right now due to my work. But i'll still stick with your ROM until someday the iHackerPOP (Lollipop version) release! (it will be awesome! :D)

Is there a way to unistall these mods without having to reinstall the entire ROM?



1A457577KW003203P, it ain't much but we are many who use and love your work so it shouldn't take that long.

I miss one thing that worked on v.4.1. Longpress and swipe up from homebutton to enter google search. Any chances of that coming back?
you can remove the video apk but it wont solve the slow camera problem...sadly you have to reinstall software :(

I would definately say there is something strange with the XZ1 or the ROM. I have not used any other ROM than iHackers since puchase so I don't know if the issue is present in stock.

I run enterprise network environments, including wireless, and iHackers have issues connecting and when it does connect, the range and speed is much less than other devices, for example the XZ2 Tablet.

At work it can not connect at all, neither on 2.4GHz or 5GHz

At home I run both 2.4Ghz (20MHz channel width) and 5Ghz (AC 80MHz channel width). Channels used are the least occupied and can change daily as the wireless controller does channel scanning every night. Using two SSID's. One for 2.4GHz and one for 5GHz where 5Ghz is the preferred SSID that works unsatisfactory work with the XZ1. but the XZ2 Tablet and other devices never have issues.


Anyways, it's a minor issue that I can live with using iHackers.

If iHackers or anybody else wish debugging I can try to do so.

You say you have the kernel @iHackers , you tried to standard Kernel. 157 ?

I'm running Locked Bootloader and stock 157 Kernel/baseband. Not used anything but stock kernel so I can not say if the issue is present on other kernels and/or on stock ROM.

I do suspect the issue is device/kernel related and not ROM related as the wlan driver/module most likely is kernel built-in.

Guys, 6 People raised together ~ 175.00 USD. That is not bad for the beginning.
But i would say for a ROM, which is at least one of the most used for our honami at XDA-developers, it could be more.
Nobody is foreced, or schould feel forced, to donate a few dollar. But I'am pretty sure a lot of us guys here could spend easily 5 USD without taking the risk to starve at the end of the month. ;)

Another Idea: maybee one of the guys in the Xperia Z1[Indian Users] thread, who got e.g. a newer phone, is willing to sell his used Z1 for a better price to ihackers.

have a nice weekend!

Thanks mate. Your idea made it reach this far. Thanks a lot for your awesome support.

Thanks a lot mate. Regarding the longpress issue and camera delay, I will fix it in the next release for sure. Let me know if you have any other requests. :good:

Sure mate. Now, I have reached a total of 192/415 USD. If things continue at this pace, I will be able to get a new Z1 in no time. Thanks a lot everyone.

Hello, one thing pls.. Is there a way to install this Rom on z1 compact? I want to try, but i don't know what is different between them.
It's ok if i flash the rom, then z1 compact stock kernel? I've in mind only to change some properties in build prop like "device name", ecc..
Thanks in advance, Stefano :)

I'm having an issue, I flashed 6.2 but my cell/data keeps cutting on/off and the about phone section says C6903 instead of C6902.

I'm UB and on .157fw

Sent from my C6902 using XDA Free mobile app

Let me know if you have any other requests.

I can´t use the standard email-client for my work mail (exchange). It keeps telling me that I must update my security settings, no matter what I choose (cancel / ok) I get kicked out of the app.
I temporarily solved this by using the Outlook-app but that doesn´t sync my calender for other calendar apps.

Use the Gmail app, it allows you to add any email to it.

    Fortunately I got my hands on a Z1 for a short period of time and after immense testing and debugging v6.2 has achieved the perfection and stability I desired. Its completely bug-free as far as I have tested, battery which is always my prime concern has improved a lot too, the ROM is super smooth and fluid too. Ofcourse there are a lot of other modifications and improvements too which you will notice once you start using the ROM. BTW, I have removed a few features like Ultra Stamina Mode, Advanced Power Menu etc that were there in the Beta Versions which I can release separately if you guys want me to and added some features too.

    Long story short, iHackers v6.2 [Minimal] and iHackers v6.2 [Aroma] are ready and I will release them very soon. I will push it via OTA for everyone and release it on the thread too as soon as I upload it.

    Regarding iHackers v6.2 [Google Edition] and iHackers v6.2 [Nano] they are almost ready too. I will send the links to everyone who opted to test it as soon as I upload them too.

    This release will be my final release for Xperia Z1. It has been an awesome experience, thanks to all you guys.


    Cheers,

    Version Details


    Aroma Version:


    Its the Big Daddy of all the other versions and the most ideal version to install for a person who knows what he is doing. It contains almost everything Sony has to provide along with all the other Modifications, Tweaks, Fixes, Addons, Applications, Kernels, Recoveries, Mods, Bootanimations, Glass Apps, Google Apps, Bloatware Removal Script etc. The main thing that makes the Aroma Version perfect is that everything in the Installer is optional for the user to install, He/She can either install everything or nothing for a clean install. It gives you complete freedom to configure the ROM and your Device exactly the way you like.


    Minimal Version:


    Minimal Version is a new version which has been specially optimized keeping the following things in consideration:
    • Lowest Possible Size
    • Battery Friendly
    • More and More Free RAM
    • All the Possible Bloatware Removed
    • No Additional Apps (Except the Most Required ones)
    • Optimized for best Performance, Speed and Smoothness
    • Etc ++

    The Minimal Version contains All the Modifications, Tweaks, Fixes but Only one Kernel and Bootanimation, No Glass Apps and No Google Apps either. It does not have any undervolting script pre installed but all the Bloatware is already removed from it. If someone wants to install something from the Aroma Version He/She should download the Addons Pack and if someone wants any of the deleted apps that were deleted while the Bloatware Removal, He/She can get them from the Official FTF or from Aroma Version.

    This Version is Ideal for those who like a very very clean Install and like to customize and add everything exactly What and How they want. The only things left out in the Minimal Version are the Core Apps without which you would loose the entire feel of Sony Xperia Z1 and without them there would be no pleasure in installing it.


    Addons Pack:


    The Addons Pack has everything in the Aroma Version except the ROM itself. It is being provided for Minimal and Official Versions because they do not have anything from Aroma Version included in them. So, In case if someone wants to install something from Aroma Version, He/She should use the Addons Pack and as its based on Aroma to, so naturally He/She will have all the options with what to install and what not. This Pack will not only work with my ROM, or any other Stock Based ROM alone, it will work with all other ROMs too (Ofcourse, The ones that support the Included Kernels).
