xperia z1 kit kat - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have a doubt, is it safe to update to oficial kit kat now that is online? i have read that it has a lot of problems, with apps, wifi, signal, txt messaging and that some apps are not going to work well with my unlocked xperia z1.
im on official 4.3 jelly bean, and my z1 works fine, i dont want to have all those troubles with my phone.
or is it safe to offficial update now ?
thanks !

Well the major problem that it has is the sd write issue
U can't use any other apps that require access to sd card except stock file manager
So no es file manager
You would have to root it to fix it

But if i rooted it, im going to miss future updates right?
Any other concerns about kit kat?
I have my doubts bout updating, thanks

I don't know but you should get updates
Also if you don't get then you have many devs who will give you updates with custom roms like cyanogenmod

thanks, im updating right now.
also i have read in some forums that the camera imprvements are not going to come in future updates, cuz are the "improvements" with z2, so it makes sense. i think i will have to root my z1 and install them. i saw them here in xda.
also i read that if i root my z1 i will lose my x reality engine, and i dont want that BUT i also read here on XDA that it can be installed as a APK.
thanks !

[apps][gb][unroot][help] SemcMusic.apk for mini

here's the thing:
I have a st15i it's not rooted and with stock rom 2.3.4 .62 firm, months ago downloaded the "xperia S pack" stock apps from Xperiablog and installed the SemcMusic.apk like a normal app sucsesfully installed but it won't fit on my screen that's the only thing that sucks..... how is it that the app installed like a normal app without root??? I just don't know but it's fine for me.
here in xda there is this thread: "[MOD][APP][GB][MDPI]XPERIA-S Music Port"
I don't know if the app from here works since I'm not rooted and don't have the CWM thing,
Can anybody hepl me please?¿?¿?
PD the app i downloaded from xperiablog has this version: 4.0.A.0.27 if worths mencioning it
wrong section !!
The other music app should be the same as your first one. Your first didn't fit to your phone because it comes from a non mdpi device. The second one is ported to fit on our mdpi devices.
Normally most apks can be installed without root so nothing special. I don't know if the Sony music app requires root but I think not.

That should be perfect for you.

I totally overread that you havent rooted and unlocked the bootloader of your phone.
My advice is to unlock the bootloader of your phone. That will make things much easier for you.
You can flash a custom kernel for your phone which includes root and cwm.
Then you can install the xperia s music app via cwm.

thnks man but i searched that thread it's just installing via cwm recovery and I just want the apk files. I think the apps from that thread works for me but i can't install those
anyone got just the apk files?¿?¿? please:fingers-crossed:
Download the zip and extract the needed files manually. But you will need root for moving or replace the extracted files to your phones destination. You also need an app who can manage it.

?¿? I tried it but says aplication not installed,
I already have a file explorer, is really necesary being rooted?¿?, cuase when I installed the non mdpi musc app from xperia s it was fine just didn't fit in the screen.
and I'm actually usin a walkman app from live with walkman phone and Im not rooted
I want something like this but with the xperia s music app for mdpi devices
Yes you need root.
Android does not allow moving or replacing files on system folder without root rights.
Second, as i already wrote, not all file explorer give access to system folder. A file explorer how can managed this is root explorer. Root Explorer is not freeware so you have to buy or look after a cracked version.
If you look inside the zip file, there inside the system folder, you can see which files will be installed on your phone. Thats not less.

An easy way to get it is:
1. Get root to your phone
2. Install cwm to your phone so you can flash the zip from the thread.

Hello
I wanted to ask, is it posible (on my ray) to make ultra light gapps and ROM with no ather apps just system and superSu + root browser.
I mean just main system apps, with no recorders, google talks, no live wallpapers picker or theme choosers...
My question is who could help me to find out main apps (just main) in my android?
Thanks.

Yes all these things are possible. A lot will depend on what ROM you are running and what you have already done to your device. If you google search for light gapps or minimal gapps you will find what you are looking for, just make sure to take a version of gapps that is compatible with your RAY and whatever ROM you are running on it. There is a pretty big list of what can and should not be deleted from your device here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/op...e-apks-their-purpose-safe-not-remove-big.html
Don't just remove anything that you "think" you don't need. Only remove stuff that you are reasonably sure is safe to remove and make sure that you have a rescue strategy ready (a nandroid back up of your device for example) in case it all goes wrong.

These types of general help threads are becoming more popular around xda and as sandy7 said, it is largely a way to keep people from opening up new threads (most of which are repeated questions). These unnecessary threads can clog up a forum and cause more important threads to sink and be hard to find. These general help threads are usually describes as new user friendly and that anything can be asked with out the asker getting flamed. That includes the dreaded "which is the best rom" question, which should be answered as politely as possible (hard I know!). If you guys care, I know of some of these other threads and I can post or PM you links, so you can see how others have done it.
I am on stock sony rom+mesa 3.8 hybrid, I created a back via TWRP, so now I want to install cm10 on my phone.
questions:
1) after installing cm10, if i restore the backup, will it backup only my data and settings? will it revert back to stock rom/the rom for which the backup was created?
2)how to switch between 2 roms(maintaining same data on both)?
3) does mesa 3.8 support init.d script?
4) how to check if init.d script is working on my device?
5) is i install any other rom, will the init.d script remain?
2. Confirm first - I know it works if it's the update of the same rom flash a new rom without wiping data, just wipe cache and dalvik, it will either work or bootloop
3, 4. If u are a noob, download pimpmyrom from store, itchecks for you and if it's not there it can make it supported, if dev there wud be a much better way

1. Nope if you restore ics backup on jb kernel you will be stuck in bootloop. Also I won't recommend you to use ics data on cm10.
2. If you are using ics rom then you can use nearly any ics rom over it without wiping data but doing all the other given wipes. Same goes for other android versions.
3. Just check in the mesa kernel thread no need to ask here.
4. If it's in the kernel then it will work. Anyways you cud do as mnishamk told u...
5. Most probably it may. Many of the ROMs here have int.d support.

Installing Stock Apps In Custom Rom
I just want to ask if I could install some stock apps to a custom rom. I have installed "xNXT™ 7" on my WT19i yesterday. The rom is nice but I want to use stock ICS (WT19i) conversations app with it. I pushed it to system/app using ROOT EXPLORER with correct permissions but after rebooting my messaging app was gone.
I tried posting my problem on rom's thread but I'm new here @ XDA and not allowed to post under development forum until post count reaches 10.
Is there any way ?

[ROM][I9205][18th Aug] Cassie's XtraLiteRom V4 - Your Rom Your Way

Cassie's XtraLiteRom for the Samsung Galaxy Mega LTE I9205
Based On Stock Slovenia MG7 Rom​
History
I moved to the Galaxy Mega from the Samsung Galaxy Note and had produced one of the longest running roms for that phone, so now i pay my attention to the Galaxy Mega devices.
Its currently early days for this device and roms, as of 21st July we still have issues with CWM, Root, amongst other things so its back to the drawing board
Those who knew my later edition roms know that they came with Aroma Installer, alas this is another area thats not playing ball at the moment so ive gone back to the good ole days of producing a slim rom with removed app updates zips. Dont worry as development progresses the old style install will come back
Rom Details for V4 18th August 2013
Based on Stock MG7 Slovenia
Odexed
Pre Rooted with Super SU 1.51 latest Busybox
Memory management Tweaks
Removed Init.d Tweak
Removed Thunderbolted for smooth performance / battery life balance
Changed lockscreen light flare to blue orb, original images by kr3g3rs all creds to him
Stripped to the BONE, Apks, Libs,Media,tts,Others
Currently 570MB - original over 1.1gb
Install Instructions For V4
1) Make sure you are rooted and have CWM installed
2) Make sure you have a Backup incase things go pete tong
3) Copy Rom Zip to your phone
4) IN CWM - Factory reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik
5) Select Install Rom in CWM Main Screen
6) Select The file you copied over and click Yes
7) The installer WILL throw an error at the end but dont worry its all fine
8) When you click reboot now it may give you another warning about loosing root and it will ask you if you want to fix it - CLICK YES
9) First boot will be a while
Known Issues
A) Not an issue so to speak but certain menu items will cause a crash if you have not installed the additional apps, i.e faceunlock, or help file etc not a bug just the benefits of slim rom, but you probably wont come across it, Video player has odd dependancies
Tips and Tricks
1) Give yourself Developer Mode - Click Build Properties in about device until it tells you success
2) Turn animations to .5x instead of x1
3) Folder Mount works perfectly if you have it backedup when you open just pin the apps (after you install them before you open them)
4) Turn wifi on off at set times, Goto settings > Wifi > Advanced> set time
DOWNLOADS
Cassies XtraLiteRom V4 main and removed
Users
One thing I pride myself on is my n7000 thread never turned into a flame war.
We were all new to this and needes help on the way.
I always flash my builds every which way I can as to reduce any risk.
All I ask is that you read and follow instructions before asking a question. However I will always answer where possible and I ask users of this rom to assist each other.
I appreciate english is not everyones first language an I ask you all to understand that when assisting people. People should always search first but we shall not flame anyone who does not
So please all play nice and enjoy yourselves

thering1975 In the local forum i participate in some people flashed I9205 based rom onto their I9200 devices, taking the modem file (NON-HLOS.bin) out of the firmaware, an this worked fine. As an option it's also possible to remove the kernel and recovery from the firmware and in this case you won't get the two red lines after flashing. I guess your rom can be flashed to the i9200 in this way also?

For the moment the modem is removed as ia the kernel.
No recovery is included as no cuatom kernel or cwm is done yet.
As for will it work on i9200 I cant say in theory I cant see why not as long as the partition table matches but alas im not going to recommend it so try at your risk.

Congratulations! This is officially the first custom ROM for the Galaxy Mega 6.3. I'm sure this will be the best ROM just like with my original Note. Hopefully the issues with CWM and root will be ironed out soon. I am not bothered with AROMA as long as I get the slimmest ROM possible with rock solid stability. All the extras can be put in a separate file for those who want them.
So with Foldermount, is this correct?
* Do a backup of the mounts in the app
* No need to put the data back into phone storage
* After installing custom ROM, install apps that use foldermount
* Before opening the apps, restore foldermount data
Is the default phone storage bigger in this ROM? Thanks for all the hard work

I see, I just need to back everything using Titanium backup and restore them like usual. I deleted most bloatware manually and currently I get almost 900MB RAM free. The only Samsung app I use is the Watch On to use the remote control function of the Mega. Keep up the excellent work :highfive:
Use tb sparingly it can be a pain I restore data only.
Foldrrmount has its own backup in its settings I think. The app data is on your sd card so once pinned all good

Several ROMs are debloated, for example,
[ROM] Android Revolution HD 4.0 | ICS | High Quality & Performance | Best STOCK ROM
It might be good to peek in the ROM Bible:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423022
And go through the developer's thread to see the list of ROM's and read their first page where the features/unfeatures/undocumented features (bugs) are listed.
Good answer!
You really have to be careful when uninstalling apps.
Best thing to do is to freeze them in titanium backup first. Then if they kill something you can un freeze them.

Thanks pbergonzi and Chevy for your valuable replies
and one more question
Debloated ROM means what kind of ROMs ? What exactly does it mean ?
sorry i am noob
thank you
Debloating means to remove the bloat. Bloat means to puff up, or swell. Some people feel that carriers fill the phones with junk, such as T-mobile apps, that is, bloated. Some developers make ROM's without the junk or bloatware, thus debloated.
The simple act of google finds explanations of bloat, etc. That is a reminder to search. One of the things that separate noobs from non-noobs is the ability to use a search engine.
Thank You
so basically you are saying search before you post, right ?
ok got it !
sorry
thank you friend
Use rom toolbox to get rid of bloat, it has an uninstaller through which you can remove any system applications. Make sure you have root and proper know how which application can be removed without ending up in a boot loop

So does this mean that all international ROMs should work with our device? Pretty sure the hardware is identical (although I might be wrong - correct me if I am) so I see no reason why they wouldn't. Would love some insight from someone with more knowledge, however.

Are you on that rom? I read all the pages and it looks promising. Wanna hear some feedback from T-Mo users

Thank you.
I installed AllianceROM from the international forum and it worked fine on my T-Mobile phone. Somebody else flashed Omega ROM and that worked too.

Yes I am currently running the Omega v1.3 rom
I am running it and it works Absolutely perfectly! If anyone is also having a problem with Shealth working after installing Xposed it seems to fix it. Just a few warning thought that I thought I would post.
1) After flashing it will flash all your internal storage - Backup everything first, Also I would move the zip to an external Sdcard before flashing.
2) Even if you select no wipe in aroma while upgrading, it still seems to wipe everything including your internal storage.

I apologize I just thought that people would look under the rom section instead of the general for working roms. I also thought that maybe a dev or master chef might want to use it for their roms Again I apologize and thank you for moving it to the correct section.

No worries, not the end of the world[emoji6]
For future reference, if you ported it it could go in development, just a cool find like this would go here[emoji106]

Sweeet! I ran a few Int'l Roms on my Note 3 also. I edited the updater script so that it wouldn't format the internal storage.

Yeah, I was thinking about trying to get permissions of a few international roms to try and alter the upater script and edit a few things to make them more compatible with the us roms.
There are several INT'L ROMs that work great with TMO USA S5.
Just look Here:

No need to "port"
Just flash it!
I'm assuming that WIFI calling does NOT work with this ROM, correct?

Wifi calling is a tmobile specific addition, so won't be included in international roms.

I have flashed EVERY ROM that has been posted on the International S5 threads and they all work with the TMOBILE S5
Alliance Rom is phenomenal - Omega is great - so is Echo - The only thing yoiu have to get used to is that you lose WiFi calling. I am using a TMOBILE S5 on the ATT network so it doesn't matter to me anyway - ATT doesn't support WiFi calling - but to be honest, the benefits of flahsing these roms far outweighs the benefits of Wifi Calling. (IMHO anyway)
NO special steps are needed - EXCEPT - when you flash an International ROM be prepared - they do usually wipe the Internal SD card. So make a back up of the important files (like Titanium Backup for example)
while we wait for TMO development to get underway - at least you have a few very good roms you can play with.
Good luck and happy flashing!
Hey guys, just posted the first (very basic) version of my project infinity Rom in the development forum. It is based on the t mobile framework, not international, so has WiFi calling etc. I plan to update it quite a bit. Also, it doesn't wipe the SD card upon install.

Any plans to get flash working?
I am downloading the ROM, so far it looks good and I did not want to lose the wi-fi calling options so I've held off on the other ROMs so far.
