CM11 Status for Z1c? - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I've been searching for a custom ROM for my Z1c. There are some very good stock based and I am currently using one, but I' like to try a CM one. CM12 has still some imprortant bugs for me. My question is if CM11 has solved every problem and if it works flawlessly. An something else, is there a good camera app for CM11 to take full advantage of Z1c hardware? Thanks!

There are no CM camera apps that even come close to what the stock camera can do
I have been wanting to try a CM build on my Z1c, but I love taking pictures and don't want to loose the amazing camera that's built into stock. I have been following several photography threads, but no one has come up with an app to beat stock.
Unlocking the bootloader breaks a few of the stock functions, but apparently it can be fixed

Problem with camera on AOSP rom.

Hi, I am using now Sense 5 rom. I had problem with green tint while using camera with flash light ( like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415999 ). I found fix and now is OK, but I want to use AOSP roms ( Like CM 11, or SlimKat ). This fix is only for Sense 5 roms, On AOSP roms I have the green tint too How to get goot photos on non sense roms? Any ideas? Sorry for my bad English.
Unfortunately I have the same problem in connection with CM 11
A few days ago I bought a used HTC X on ebay.
When I got the unit, I immediately flashed CM11 on it.
After a few shots with the camera, in conjunction with the flash, I've noticed that all the images were yellowish.
At first I thought it was an a hardware issue.
But then I read here and in some other forums that it is probably a kernel issue. So I've tried a stock Sense ROM in conjunction with the fix from above. And with that the pictures were fine. It is therefore definitely a issue kernel / the camera libs.
I I would really like to use a CM Rom and hope that this problem can be fixed.
Or is there maybe already a kernel for CM 11 in which this problem is solved?
Thanks in advance

[REQ] Samsung's camera in AOSP/CM11 on 4.4.x

Hi guys! I bought yesterday a SGSIII. After few hours i decided to install a CM 11. it works fine, but there isn't HDR option in google camera and CM camera. So I tried to find something other. I found stock camera, but for 4.3.x (here it link for it: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/75589-galaxy-s3-stock-camera-for-aosp/) But it makes bootloops on CM11. Is there any option to make it work, or maybe there is any good camera app with HDR?
I don't know where put this thread. IF it should be in Q&A section, please moderator to move it
i remember the TouchWiz camera working rly well on aosp rom. would be nice if someone could port it for 4.4
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app
Would be nice....waiting for it too.

i'm waiting too. someone can porting samsung stock camera to cm11.
I don't think a TouchWiz stock camera app for sgs3 would work on 4.4.x AOSP/CM because the s3 international devices didn't get a kitkat rom, camera app of 4.3 Android won't work on 4.4
But there is a hope, some s3 variants like Verizon (with 2gb of ram) received a kitkat update, after all they have the same camera HW, so I think it is possible to use this roms camera app!
All we need now is someone to capable of such thing to read this post

Samsung Camera cannot work (well) on AOSP anyway. As it is true that mentioned Android versions are incompatible - noone officially managed to run a 100% working Samsung Camera on 4.3 AOSP ROM (let alone 4.4.). You had to replace the stock one with Samsung one and then either you had problems with autofocus or video recording or the app would FC itself. I've googled this before because I wasn't happy with CM camera quality, but there are no good solutions if your sticked to Samsung.
However I flashed a Samsung based kernel (ArchiKernel, arter97 kernel...) and CM11S camera app (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/17-fixed-camera-app-lib-cm-aosp-roms-t2505973) and with it you get superb quality (99-100% like Samsung Camera). However HDR isn't avaliable at this time but it sucked on stock Samsung Camera anyway, so...
It is a beautifull dream ?, but i think is not possible.

yes thats true, there is allot of features that wont work, like GeoTagging, due to the dependency on stock ROM blobs, kernel and apps! still the core camera app functions can be ported, and no alternative camera app can really replace the stock one, because its the only one that can use the phones camera hardware image processing!
all s3 variants have the same camera HW and blobs, therefore posting the app from s3 models that received an official kitkat update is doable, but is it feasible? thats up to the experts to say!
whats even better if someone can develop an app that can use the phones camera HW itself, but thats out of the question because the blobs are not open source!
CyanogenMOD AOSP camera uses the HW blobs, and not all S3 models use the same camera, I don't think. It's not really going to happen, porting the stock camera to AOSP. If it could be done well enough it'd be done by now.

Looking for KK ROMs for XT907

Getting frustrated trying to find KK ROMs for the XT907. Most i find aren't working and the other ones i find, i can't seem to even find a link for them.
Anyone recommend any good KK ROMs for the XT907?? Currently using CM11 and it blows - phone is pretty much unusable without a reboot daily.
Thanks!

You must wait - drdevs.com is dead now... It`s building server for 90% of ROMs
But you still can use fresh biulds from Validus or Vanir / Commotio

If it blows so bad, then go back to stock. You do realize that most of the aftermarket ROMs out right now are CM based? So, they're going to have the same bugs. Like Bwen said, the DR Devs site is down right now, that hosts a ton of the ROMs for the M.

I have devhost and mediafire mirrors of 4.1.2 and 4.4.2 stock ROMs if anyone wants. Please PM.
Also, what exactly are the bugs on CM-based KK ROMs? I experienced mainly Wi-Fi issues. Can you corroborate that Wi-Fi is an issue on CM ROMs? Also, what other issues, if any?
Thanks!

At least you have a good attitude about it. My CM nightlies run pretty well, minus the mic issues. Stable and fast, haven't restarted in days.

[Q] Fastest/most stable rom for v500

Hello!
I'm wondering what's the best, fastest and most stable ROM for v500 now. I'm going to install this one first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621904
But is there better one (mostly for web surfing, not games)?
Cheers,
The most stable rom I have found is the official cm11. The ir blaster doesnt work and the camera doesnt work for me but I dont use the camera anyway on my tablet. The rom is fast, smooth, regular updates and is way better than the stock lg one. Id say go for cm11.

I second that.
What with front camera? Also not working? That would be shame, because I'm using Skype often.

The front camera always works with CM. The problem is the back camera which does not work on some versions of the v500.
And you should flash mani kernel v19 or red kernel to get rid of the seldom sound hisses.
Every CM rom i have used the front camera has worked fine, youll notice the quality isnt as clear as the stock camera but no camera on a AOSP rom is anythign special. Its always the back camera which seems to have an issue.

Troubleshooting AOSP builds

Hi all,
I have built my own AOSP rom for the z1c, however there are several features that don't work most importantly the SIM.
Whats the best way to troubleshoot these issues?
Obviously I realise that others have made working AOSP roms for the z1c, I'm just trying to learn about it since my phone is now out of warranty and I can play with these things.
Cheers

See if you can get hold of @CLINTZ9, or @munjeni. They both have built AOSP for Z1c. @freexperia probably has the best AOSP build, but I've never been able to get them to respond to anything.

Just copy /system/etc/firmware files from stock rom and things will work
