Sony Z1 C pure Marshmallow - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good evening to all the community,
I haven't been here for some some time.... since I had my HTC Hero.
This was a phone that I installed so many custom ROM... Back in the days Android was not so developed and the demand was enormous...
But back to what I mention on the topic,
I am really disappointed with Sony, this phone costed me a lot of money, and not even two years have passed and they just don't give a FXXX.
Is there any way to install a pure android Marshmallow on Xperia Z1 Compact ?
And another thing... can we remove this big notification banners, as for whatsapp or hangouts... it's annoying...
Thank you for you attention!

The two years = no further support is completly normal. No difference in brands there.
Clean marshmallow? Possible. Bugfree? No. Take a look at fxp: http://fxpblog.co/aosp/aosp-6-0/
I find latest 5.1.1 update from Sony to be a good one, and I do not regret buying and owning this phone for two years Not loads of custom ROMs, but CM has always been good.
When CM13 nightlies start rolling and gets stable enough, I'll jump over to the custom ROMs wagon and enjoy bleeding endge Android again

Hi,
I've been into custom ROM's before.... thing is, some of them are not stable, and there is always something crashing or not fully working.
thanks for the tip, I'll have a look.

Something like this http://s9.postimg.org/7oqzyxzkv/Screenshot_20151205_191800.png ??
If you realy want to try Marshmallow you need to download unoficial build AOSP_M_151019_amami.zip from http://fxpblog.co/aosp/aosp-6-0/ and since these build can't boot I have fixed bootloop with recompiling kernel booth for boot.img and recovery.img, so simple replace recovery.img and boot.img with this new one https://mega.nz/#!ABhFTCLA!A55h9N0DQfJgi5Yxa9mmk3CrLlP_hEKOTDamZs6kaxs and try! And one more thing, its not for daily usage since audio is not working, camera...etc!

is there some video of rom online ?
tks

Question,
Is this the "default ROM" for Sony's android : http://developer.sonymobile.com/kno...e/open-devices/list-of-devices-and-resources/ ?
Is there a similar way to install this as as having a "Pure Android Version" ?

So, you can make a post asking for a ROM but can't navigate XDA?
Cyanogenmod is your best bet.
Since Huawei didn't sign their apps properly, we can't decompile stock apps and make them look like AOSP ( Stock Android ). We can use Huawei's themer app, but that only goes as far as images no xml's.
Tip: If you have no idea what I was talking about in this post, you are probably not ready for custom Roms and need to do some more reading and learning.
Goodluck.
PAC MAN Rom is the best i used for this phone imo.

I agree with above, Cyanogenmod is by far the best one we have at the moment.

Thank you. My P6 is still very new and I am a bit reluctant to tamper with it, but the lack of native Android SIP is one irritating issue that pushes me closer to flashing something...
Well in my opinion the best one is Pac-Man B120 firmware
MIUI

Several doubts and some help! (newbie)

Hi everyone I'm new in this forum and I don't know anything about this smartphone world but I have some questions about my personal Xperia M. First of all I want to apologize for my bad english coz I hate web-traductors so I don't use them.
A friend told me I should install CM11 (Cyanogenmod If I remind correctly) in my smartphone coz it'd be better, I've tried to find some information in Google in my language coz I barely undertand the english technicisms for smartphones but I didn't fund anything so I decided to post in this forum.
I heard tha there is no official version for my smartphone and If I install an unofficial version this can broke my smartphone, is that true? Do you guys think that the CM11 is advisable for my Xperia? I want to know if It'll improve the performance.
How should I start If I want to install CM11 in my Xperia M? I'll let you some information:
Xperia M Android version 4.3
Xperia M C1905
Never rooted it (I dont how how to do it)

I am also a newbie to Android like you
Do you have a PC with you?
Then why don't you make root access on your phone?
About 75% of my installed apps requires root to get its full potential.
I am on XMD (2004).
otherwise I would help to root your phone.
there maybe many threads for rooting your handset (1905)
CM11 is one of the greatest option for the beginners i have ever seen!!!.Pros Are -
1. Extended Battery Life
2. improved performance
3. KikKat UI
I think you can go for it

& its 'cons' ?
I have heard that many options will not work with CM as it is still on beta stage! is it right?
also if I couldn't lock my boot loader, I will loose my warranty also.

no problem with CM. cuz you can always lock BootLoader via flashtool and there are some minor bugs ( No problems to the user with these bugs)

Will we have a Custom Marshmallow (Android 6.X.X) for Xperia ZL?

One of the best features of 6.0 is the SD use as domestic, I'm on my tablet and is very helpful. It comes to hardware, the Xperia ZL has power to spare to run the Marshmallow.
However, I saw nothing official and unofficial nothing yet, OmniRom being AOSP, CM13, Resurrection, Paranoid, Omega, Exodus, etc ... In other words, it seems that no one is working on it, which I think is a shame, such a good player.
But still have a glimmer of hope, someone knows something, it is planned, expectation of a Custom ROM?:good:
:fingers-crossed:
Just wait
Hi,
it will be a MM Rom from Sony,
just wait !
What about NEXUS 4, almost the
same Hardware, PLATFORM !
Maybe some MODDER can take
a look at this CM 13 release of the Nexus.
greets
Truth!
By the same hardware of the Nexus, there is hope that we Android 6
Sweet. But my ZL is dying. I'm still on KK, hoping L fixes media server battery drain bug.

Check this link. It's a fresh new Marshmallow rom. Didn't try it, yet, so flash at your risk. The developer needs our support, so... YAY!

What great news!
Thank you very much!
A bad news, dev of CM12.1 likely gave ZL up.
He didn't update anything about kernel, libs, blobs, drivers or some device fix.
Even ZL hasn't had TWRP v3 yet...
Now we know all the Sony device facing camera issue.
Then no dev, no new rom. :crying:

As the maintainer of the Xperia ZL I do not know, but we continue to have in the Builds Nightlys:
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=odin
And we already have the TWRP v3.0
https://dl.twrp.me/odin/
If I'm not mistaken, the Phill already updated the Dual recovery as well.
The problem of camera I do not know what it is, what happens? (I'm not using a lot).

Oh, I'm using TWP v3 now. Thank u for telling me! :highfive:
Though we are supported by CM, we can only get CM general update. We have several device/kernel issues, they won't be solved anymore unless there's someone continues to maintain the project and not only let it get cross-device updates of CM.
As I know, we have these issues:
1. HDR camera isn't here.
2. Live Display can't switch back to day mode from night mode in automatic.
3. Not smooth about graphic, my friend's HTC Butterfly is better.
4. The lowest brightness isn't the real lowest (1%), in fact it's about 20% of brightness.
5. I'm surprised that we use ondemand as our default governor…

I hope these can be solved in Resurrection Remix M.
I don't expect too much about CM12.1 now.
Even few people discuss about it…

This site is proper: I have downloaded more than 1 ROM for other tablets and installed them and they worked successfully.
I also download rom from that site

The only ROMs on that site for our device are stock by the look of it. Would be nice to have a pure Android or CM ROM that's for sure.
Yes, a pure Android or CM ROM (Android 6.0.1) would be so nice...
Very true so why aint there even 1 custom rom?
because...omg what is this crap I bought! It's one of the most regretful things I did in my life

I totally agree the worst thing I did...
I really like this tabelt for what it is in premium edition. No lack of power for all jobs that are to be done with it and some light gaming. Custom ROMs aren't there, that's true, but honesty: what do you need a custom ROM for on this specific tablet? For me - and I'm a flashaholic as well - all has been there from the start. No need to flash any custom ROMs at all. Only thing I'm missing is the lack of updates regarding, at least, Marshmallow. Huawei definitely has to catch up-to other manufacturers regarding this special aspect. Just my 2 cent.

I don't regret byuing this device, all works great and theres enough power to get things done. Marshmallow would be great, with doze. Let's wait and see will we get that someday. I asked huawei about that update, but theirs answer was that they don't know will they update. Cm would be great alternative.
I have had this device for two days now, the Premium version and i just love it, perfect size in my opinio, and big plus is the u can make calls and sms with it hope to get the android 6.0 some day
Although I found this today, its one of those ad deals you have to do first before you can download. So not sure if you want to do it or not.
Guys i just found a custom rom for Android 7.0 for our tablets Android 7.0

So I just found a Lineage 14 Rom for the P8 Lite, (Has same chipset as our phone). How possible would it be to port that rom to our phone? It would be us going to an unofficial Android 7.1.1.

Could I install CM13 for Xperia Z3 Compact on a Z1 Compact?

Since CyanogenMod still hasn't released a CM13 for the Sony Xperia Z1C, I'm looking for alternatives. I saw this thread about all the Marshmallow ROMs out there and I might give them a try, but I want something that will be receive regular updates, and I know that's not true of all those custom ROMs. (Although I don't know much about the Android Ice Cold Project. What is that? They've built a Marshmallow ROM for the Z1C. Should I just use that?)
Since the Xperia Z3 Compact has CM13 support, I'm considering just installing that CM13 build on my Z1C. How terrible an idea is this? Is this the absolute worst idea? Could it work? Are the Z3C and Z1C radically different?
Thanks!

Probably not, but... 1) you can try porting. There are at least 2 extensive threads in cross dev forum about how-to, and since the phones are similar, it is probably not too hard. However, you would have to port every update, I think. 2) there is an unofficial CM13 you could flash in the thread you linked.
I'm currently testing the unofficial build and i'm having some problems. When i have a stable setup, i'll document my results here.
For know CM13 for Z1c is definitely possible, but i don't know at what cost.
Currently i'm fighting with getting root access to work properly and getting rid of a Strict-Mode-like red blinking frame border which is most prominent when opening the notifications (very annoying).

What's the problem with root? Do you have root access enabled in dev settings?

Fixed the red frame issue using the alternate fix of this guide:
adding
Code:
persist.sys.strictmode.visual=0
persist.sys.strictmode.disable=1
to build.prop
Root "issue" isn't really one as CM provides root access by default when enabled, but trying to flash SuperSU latest failed, apparently due to an already existing installation (which is not the case).
I'm going to try out other MM roms for now and will go back to LP if there is no 'stable' one (performance).
Wait, I may have been mistaken. I thought there was an official CM 13 build for the Z3c, but it appears there's only an official CM 12. My bad! I'm gonna try the AICP MM build for the Z1c instead.

I can recommend you aicp for amami. It is stable, and fully working, camera is the best of mm roms for z1c.
