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

In most of the custom rom threads, dev's do not like being asked about why the camera doesn't work. But I can't seem to find the answer so i'm posting it here.
What exactly is the problem with ics and camera's? why are there so much difficulties in enabling the camera in ics?

Because ics is a new android base and they are working as hard as they can to get it working. They don't want to hear about it not only because its in the list of what doesn't work and don't want bug reports, they also have put in an incredible amount of work and so many people put pressure on them about the camera as it is. Developing roms and kernels without a working base to start with is incredibly painstaking and is not easy. It's amazing they have gotten as far as they have with it since ace devices have no official ics base to work with. Just be patient. It will all get worked out eventually.
And don't forget that camera is not the most important in a phone
So they're going step by step... this is a very good way to proceed.
Because camera is for cam whores jk

The guys at the Desire development managed to get the camera working: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403113
It's a rough hack and not very stable yet but works!
Also, the current ICS roms are running 2.6.x kernels, I'm positive it has something to do with that. Wonder if we'll even see 3.x on the DHD! Hope so!
Don't understand me wrong. I have great appreciation for the work that dev's do. Everyday I enjoy the fruits of the custom rom that I have loaded onto my device.
It was just that the camera in ics seems to be a problem for many custom rom developers and I assumed that it was something more specific to the developements with ics.

The guy was simply asking for info. He just wanted to know if anyone has an idea why the cam is a commom obstacle for different devs.. He wasn't underestimating the developers' work(who during my 5 years with xda, has proven to be the Gods of mobile modding!)
No harm in asking, right?

The kernel has changed and that requires new libaries to allow the camera to interact with it, these are the properiatary blobs that only HTC can officialy provide, now it should be possible when one of the DHD sister phones i.e Desire Z are provided with an official build that the camera can be reverse engineered, but if not it's gonna be a matter of trial and error to get any knid of functionality.
BTW If anyone with a better than my sketchy understanding wants to butt in and correct me please feel free
BTW BTW Lordclockan has a build with partialy working camera up and running
I agree with you. All the best to the devs ! Good luck !
Hey everybody! I did a search before posting this and couldn't find an answer so here is my question...
I was thinking of switching over to a TW rom but I don't really know what the main difference is in terms of features and bugs. Also, what is everything I need to do to switch over?
I am running Beanstalk which I believe is CM10.1 based.
Thanks for the help!
features are basically what the new rom includes and bugs are small problems that may be being worked on.
Flowed Away From My Samsung E4GT!
Thanks for the reply but I'm trying to compare the features of those types of roms with what I have
well of course some(awesome) features included in cm10.1 will not be able in tw, preferably cm10.1 has many more features than any tw rom, the themeing ability and the new privacy guard.

I would read through the rom op and decide which one appeals to you. As for asking about the differences. Nobody can answer that man because they are all different...they are after all custom roms..But just look around and when you find one you like...Follow the op.I would think you would benefit from reading through the stickies and some guides also. There is a great amount of knowledge to be had in this forum...Good Luck. and use that search button..
are there any TW roms that give us the quick reply like in CM for messaging?
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.

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
Hi guys,
I'm rooted and would like to enable tethering. I know about enabling Hotspot if you have your MSL. Are there any other ways as I don't have my MSL?
Now that I'm rooted are there any apps that can give me MSL number? The app I've used only seems to work for HTC devices.
best way is install custom rom..
sac23 note 5 port and hybrid 3.0 is best rom for me

Right now I'm running the 100% Stock ROM that doesn't have Knox and Itson. Reason why I decided to stick to Stock is because I really don't want to deal with the quirks and issues that custom ROMS bring. Plus there are sooooo many ROMs in the development section it's tough to chose one when you're a newbie.
Any particular reason why you chose that ROM over others? And do you have any issues whatsoever with it?
Anyone have a way of getting my MSL number myself, now that I'm rooted, without the need of having to contact provider?
Roms should list it that the hotspot is activated for use. CM12.1 has it. But im haveyingbattery drain issues lately with that.. So Im also looking for a new stable custom rom
I definitely want to stay away from custom ROMS. Too buggy, specifically AOSP ROMS. That's all i used before and so I'm very familiar with all their quirks and mishaps.
If i can find a custom ROM (or if you can recommend one) that has everything working (like stock ROMS do ) I'll jump ship immediately. Until then, I'll take stock and stability day.

Aosp are not buggy. Cyanogen is really good. I'm running nightlies.
Definitely Hybrid. Very close to stock with minor changes, including addition of hotspot. Very stable, really no issues. Just make sure you chose Hybrid and not the Hybrid X version which is more modded. They're both in the same thread in Android Development
Cyanogen mod has no bugs. Just no finger print support but that should be coming soon specially with cm13 coming down the pipe. The night builds are great you just have to activate your network within the ROM when you first start. But my phone doesn't crash no force closes or anything. Battery isn't all that bad... I honestly think I was having calibration issues with my zero lemon .
