Hello hello, this will be my "live" thread of bringing AICP 13.1 to my xperia z1c, I found some Guide's that I will follow and I will share with you all the links and knowledge I gained as a newbie that I used to understand and fix my problems on the way. Maybe this will help you, too. Main...

NOTE: DON'T HOLD ANYONE RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG DURING THE PROCESS! This thread contains full information you might need for rooting, backing up TA partition, unlocking bootloader, installing custom recovery, installing custom rom etc. Some notes below, read them -I try to...

Just messing around with stock while not much happening with other roms. If you want to revert just make 2 copies of the zip and replace the app folders in one with your current ones, (you have to make sure to copy your whole folder and not just apk, since apks in mod are deodexed)...

Dear all, I have my Z1C on the latest FW with Dual Recovery and root (SuperSU) but locked bootloader. Now, some apps will not run when they detect root. Can I "unroot" the phone in a convenient way and "re-root" when needed? Without using King Root and while keeping all my data etc.? Cheers, Ben

Hello, i just installed CM 12.1 (latest nightly from 10. Juli 2016). Works well on my Amami... but the camera doesnt work that well. In several Apps which use the camera the screen went black. Default Camera works, 3rd party apps work. Even some other Apps work. But for example "Codecheck" oder...

In spite of the declining official and unofficial support and development of our device, there are several new and excellent ROMs available. However, for various reasons, they might not be easy to find, (a couple don't have their own threads on xda, and one is hidden in a q&a thread). I thought...

The Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is an Android smartphone produced by Sony. The Z1 Compact has a 4.3 inch display and is released as a cheaper and smaller version of the Xperia Z1 which features a 5-inch display. The Japanese version of the Z1 Compact, dubbed the Sony Xperia Z1 f (SO-02F), was...

I have upgraded to stock lollipop for Z1C Few weeks ago. I just realized there is a bug where the volume suddenly maxed while listening music with my Sony MDR-EX15AP earphones. When I turn the volume down, only the slider moves, but the volume remain the same. It happened in the Walkman app and...

Hi, if I'm long-pressing my power button to open the screenshot and shutdown menu, it often fails because the display goes off (seems like the system would recognize it as a normal click). Sometimes it's worse than other times, at least I think so. I didn't upgrade to Android 5 until now...

Hi I previosuly had an Xperia S, and there was an easy mod to wake up the device using the camera button. I have been trying the same thing to work on my Z1 compact but so far I have only been able to break the button. I did this: With root exploring app, went to /system/usr/keylayout and...

Update 2: I've had requests for links for the parts I used. I purchased the battery, a back cover, and all the additional accessories they suggested for removal. Battery: http://www.witrigs.com/oem-battery-for-sony-xperia-z1-compact Back cover (this comes in different colors, but the link is...

Hi all, Because the Kernel I compiled as a Workaround is a little bit hard to find, I decided to refer it here. So you can use it if you want to. Requierements: - Unlocked Bootloader - Fastboot Installation: fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img Download...

I bought an OEM magnetic charging cable. I am mostly using it at work, connected to my laptop. Lately I tried to use it connected to the wallcharger adapter capable of 1500mAh. I used to think that the magnetic charger was charging faster., however I noticed that my Amami is getting charged...

Hello everyone, I got bored with my xperia z1 compact and now I want phone with sense 4 (possibilities are: one x, one s, sensation). I red a lot about faulty batteries on hox and that hox+ is little better because better battery, but one x is, to me, one of the most beautiful designed phones...

Hello, I bought my Z1 Compact a few days ago for 200€ (new) and it works very well. I wanted to use it as an emulator (PPSSPP and ePSXe) and the performance is fine, but my first problem is that I couldn't root the device for my bluetooth sixaxis controller, it just won't work (blackscreens or...

This thread is a replacement for Jamal_RS thread of Root 14.4.A.0.157 [ LB / UBL ] because there is no kernel file to download. So I uploaded kernel .108, kernel .157 and rootkit that I always use to root and it works. Here the Download link http://d-h.st/M9a How? 1) Flash kernel .108 with...

Is there a way to increase the volume of the earpiece when making/receiving calls? I want it a little more loud. But only the earpiece. Thank you!

Ok i made a huge mess of my phone while trying to flash Liquid Smooth. I forgot that I had relocked bootloader (to be able to update if new official updates came) and went to recovery and flashed LS. Then the phone wasn't booting, so I tried to unlock the bootloader in that state and it showed...

Hello all! I got my z1c 4 days ago and still trying to learn it's quirks (and problems like the camera button not taking a photo for some reason.. :eek:) anyway.. I'm trying to setup onandroid again to run some nights and modifying the script from my old phone came to here: #!/system/bin/sh...

Thought I would create a thread to discuss Tasker automation on the Z1C (help requests, troubleshooting, automation ideas, etc.) First a help request: Has anyone been successful in getting AutoInput or Sendevent shell commands (double taps, swipes) to work on the Z1C? I've used this script in...

Hi, I come from the Xperia Play section, which is awesome and supporting, so I hope this one will be too ;) I got this phone today and I was wondering how to make the best of it (I know BL unlock and root is the xda way, but I'm not in a rush for doing it yet cause I want to experience stock FW...

Sits a little proud (on top of the Sony pre-installed protector) but it at last makes my phone feel premium. It feels just like the Gorilla glass on my Nexus 4 used to, there is no loss of sensitivity and the oleophobic coating works as well as the Nexus S. I have the full (side and rear)...

So I've this Z1 Compact and I charged it to 100% when i got home (the first charge) since its Li-ion and cause I've read everywhere that you don't need to keep it plugged in for 6hrs straight I din't let it. The next day morning itself I found Kitkat update and updated. But it seems the...

Is it possible to put transparence in the on-screen button's background?

I just got a Z1 Compact from Clove. LOVE the phone, but want to make sure I'm getting the right speeds. Most often, I see H+ or H for data. Occasionally 4G. I'm on T-Mobile in Los Angeles where my Nexus 5 said LTE most of the time. If I used to see "LTE" on the Nexus, what should I be...

The case is fine, if you are into that kinda thing. I come from a Galaxy Note so like a flip cover and after a couple of days the cover is fine staying closed. Not had any flash bleed from my pink phone that others have experienced. I am actually gonna swith to a bumper case for my main use...

I don't bother doing reviews normally, but have now just posted this over on the Carphone Warehouse product page since they hassled me via email to do one (may not show up for a couple of days though). Anyway, thought I'd cross-post it here in case anyone finds it interesting. Cheers.

I made this thread in the Z section - [Info/How-To/Tools] Deodexing Made Easy... but rather than copy and paste it here I'll just link to the CWM.zip you need for the Z1 Compact. UPDATE: [TOOL] Kamome tool for Windows - deodex tool for 4.4 KitKat

UPDATE: 03/10/15 Most of the "how to" stuff in this thread is still relevant which is why I'll leave it in for reference, but to update and root (with UL BL) the latest version simply... Download and install the latest Flashtool Run XperiFirm (comes pre-bundled with the Flashtool) to...
