[PATCH][4.4]Qualcomm-optimised Dalvik and Bionic libraries - Xperia Z General

This is not my work, all credits go to the original authors. Qualcomm for the Dalvik libraries, and Code Aurora for the Bionic libraries.
This patch should boost your device, both battery and performance.
Only tested on stock roms but may work on aosp too. Simply boot into recovery and flash, then wipe dalvik cache and reboot.
Your rom must be deodexed, also back up before hand just incase something goes wrong.

Who is the author(s) and where did you get this from?

The Z2 bionic patches seem to the best among them, all dalvik patches seem about the same.
There may be some issues with compatibility of the patches with some ROMs so make a backup of system partotion and flash away
PS: @NeophyteGS2 link to the original post and some credits to them would've been great, just my two cents.

Qualcomm, they made the processor for both the Xperia Z and Nexus 4 - the S4 Pro.
EDIT: There's some conflicting instructions in the 2 threads, so I just wiped the Dalvik cache and cache partition FIRST, then flashed the bionic and dalvik zips and rebooted. I don't notice anything in particular, the phone still works, it may well be much smoother. I didn't notice any slowdown previously so...

I was actually sent these files from somebody else so I was unable to credit any original posts, and I am now aware of multiple posts regarding these patches. Saying that, if anybody does find these useful they should thank the author of the post in the general section as he posted first.
On another note, I'm now working to get the new adreno beta libs working on our devices and should hopefully see some improvements from these.

[Q] Question About the different ICS roms for the Kindle Fire

I successfully installed a rom called USBWOOT.zip (thanks to all the hard work of the developers here, thanks so much guys!) however after doing a little more research I saw someone say the cm9 rom was better (latest one is here I think: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411895&page=210)
I've also seen a MIUI version.
Is there some kind of chart showing the pros and cons of each?
I also have some other noob questions:
Can I flash a new rom (like an updated version, or a different rom?) without losing all my settings, accounts, apps, etc? Or do I have to do a factory reset every time and start over?
Why I ask is I flashed the USBWOOT.zip originally, but it looks like the latest version (in that post I linked to) cm9-02-19.zip has some updates that sound really nice (especially the 200ms to 80ms wait time on screen change)
Since I flashed USBWOOT.zip originally do I need to do a factory reset first or can I just flash cm9-02-19.zip? If I have to do a factory reset will I lose all the accounts, apps, etc?
Thanks for all the help!
That cm9-02-1* roms are follow ups to USBWOOT.zip, they are build from the same source, it just uses a different name coding. Usually all build in that thread are very similar, even if they are build from different people and are named differently since our development is open source.
I would try it first without a total wipe, if you have any unkown problems then do a total wipe. (But a total wipe from time to time isn't a bad thing, since these days many things may change between versions)
MIUI uses a different launcher & other stuff.
I just updated to the latest build of CM9 as well. So far so good. Here is the link too. http://www.mediafire.com/?tnoxgzcgop46odm

Can you link us to the thread of the developer who compiled this Rom? Someone may want to read the discussion before blindly flashing an unknown zip file.
if its the same rom but just an update, you should get away with just flashing it on top and wiping dalvik cache. as always BACKUP FIRST and then resore and wipe if its not working like it should.
dont go with MIUI yet as its had way less work done and it doesnt even have USB ready.
It Worked
Thanks guys! I was able to flash the latest version without having to do any wipe or factory reset.
I am loving my new and improved Kindle Fire.

[PORT][WIP] Ubuntu Touch v0.1 Alpha - ONLY i9100 !!!

UBUNTU TOUCH v0.1 FOR i9100 ALPHA
KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS VERY VERY UNSTABLE AND MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE IF YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG!​
This one has been build by @ bluefa1con so all the champagne & beer bottles goes to him. Is the same build as mines! I decided to release my version when I have most of the bugs fixed. HERE IS STILL PRESENT THE CHOPPY TEXT BUG! We think is caused by hardware-composition, we don't know right now.
Let's get started. First of all, WIPE YOUR DEVICE & FORMAT /SYSTEM, /CACHE, /PRELOAD! Then:
1. Download this build of Ubuntu Touch: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-to...c-demo/quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
2. The both files from here: http://goo.im/devs/bluefa1con/ubuntutouch
3. Copy them to your internal / external memory. Note that dual-boot is not yet supported!
4. Wipe everything you can.
5. Install CM10.1 zip - DON'T REBOOT!
6. Flash quantal(...).zip file - AGAIN, DON'T REBOOT!
7. Finally, flash hdpi_overlay.zip and then you can reboot safely.
8. Enjoy!
Report any bugs here!
So far it looks stable over the UI. Perfomances are not so great because both of us we can't manage to get working all the 2-cores. HW acceleration is disabled because is very buggy also the audio. Wifi works, cellular + 3G also. It is not very useful right now but as far as this will get more and more updates, it will be very cool .
Note: DO NOT FLASH IT INTO OTHER VARIANTS OF i9100!
Thanks, I'll keep you updated.

Dear fellas,
Right now I'm doing a very beta test of my own build for Ubuntu Touch. So far it looks stable over the UI. Perfomances are not so great because I can't manage to get working all the 2-cores. HW acceleration is disabled because is very buggy also the audio. Wifi works, cellular + 3G also. It is not very useful right now but as far as this will get more and more updates, it will be very cool .
As soon as I finish with the final testing, I will upload the 3 ZIP files. Until that, prepare your phone and make a full BACKUP!
Note: I suggest to try it in dual-boot as I do and DO NOT FLASH IT INTO OTHER VARIANTS OF i9100!
Thanks, I'll keep you updated.

FYI guys, I have tested it only as a second rom (like boot2gecko). I test it right now as a primary rom and I have problems with the text as well. I don't really know what is happening but the screen looks like there are some ''dead'' pixels. You cannot read the entire text. I tried different kernel entries but no success, also wiped cache / dalvik cache. Let me see how fast can I fix it.
PS: try bluefa1con's build. Mine is not so far from it.
@bluefa1con, let me know if I can post your build on the first post w/ full credits to you. It take some time to make another build right now but I'm uploading the current images on zippyshare.

Anyone that had lost data can you give me some information. Which acmeinstaller version did you use? Are you still on the smaller partition or did you upgrade? Im still on the i believe it's 400mb system part and haven't upgraded to the larger partition and still yet to loose data. It also could be the way kitkat mounts the partition now. After the inital loose of data did you experience it again? I'm trying to boil this down and having issues pinpoint it as i have yet to loose anything. The more information I can gather the quicker i can fix this issue. Thanks all for testing and helping me out getting this great device updated to the latest OS.
Thanks for this ROM - I have standard partition size and CWM and had no data loss, clean installed. Running well ☺

I tested it briefly and came from datamedia build of 10.2. I did system wipe and install using milaq's datamedia version of CWM. I had no major problems with the install and no lost media as far as I know. Looking forward to testing it again, when it gets a little more stable.
Is everyone just using the 4.3 gapps or is there a 4.4 gapps?

Hey Flintman,
I only lost the data just once so far, if you want I could test out a reinstall. I installed Kitkat by wiping system data and cache and flashing the Rom and gapps through recovery. I already had a 600MB partition but was monitoring the free space left. I should also note that I used CWM to advance restore my data partition from my Evervolv 4.3.1 backup. This seems to be working fine.
Because I use my tablet to test mods and games I had a lot of extra folders that disappeared. These were all added by me like, Dos Games folders about a dozen, image files, Beta apks and the Rom and gapps, that were placed in the internal memory ect. All these files vanished, however files I added that were already in system folders stayed, like music, downloads and shows. It seems to just delete things that the user added into non system or app related folders.
Thanks for letting us take this fun test drive, I was all backed up before I started

This was the info I compiled about Flintmans fantastic Test Build. I had a few notes and warnings for users, I will need to update it with a link to this new thread.
Edit: I updated the video for the newer build
Download 4.4 Kitkat Gapps here:
Notes:Low to Medium battery drain(-4mA to -30mA) h/w video, Test Build Make a Backup!, Automated Updater, Audio plays with the screen off, Camera, No Bluetooth.
Note: Windows users may need to do the following in order to attach the Touchpad with the USB cable.
1. Go into the Device manager. You will see "MTP USB Device" under portable devices.
2. Right Click it and select update driver software
3. Select Browse my computer for driver software.
4. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
5. Select USB Mass Storage Device then click next.
and/or
6.To transfer files to PC, turn on USB mass Storage from the USB connection notification on the Android device.
Note(Important): (This might be fixed now) Backup and transfer all your SDcard files to PC. This is a testing build and could wipe files from your SDcard data.
[Note(Important): I would recommend increasing the size of your System Partition for this build. After my install I had 398/400MB free, so Flash the 512MB zip below or use Tailor to adjust the size.
Note(Important): This is an Android Open Source Project (AOSP) rom not a CyanogenMod (CM) rom. Dirty flashing an AOSP rom over a CM rom can causes errors and rebooting issues. Always do a clean install when moving from CM to AOSP and vise versa.
Flash through recovery to change the partition size to 512MB(Gradular&codycoyote)
Flintmans Posts about the new Pre-Beta Build here:
I did a clean install with the standard CWM recovery and had no loss of data or files that i can find. I also restored my apps with TiBU and everything came back good.
The Quadrant score came in a lot lower than the first test build, 1500 (first test build was 2350). The CPU portion is what suffered the most, the other portions seemed normal. It doesn't seem slower than normal though.
I haven't found any problems with any apps.
Great job, thanks!

Hey Flintman,
Would you clear up some confusion about this build. I've seen a post over in the Evervolv 4.3 thread and also over in Rootzwiki. Is this build of 4.4 a traditional build like your 4.3 build or a data-media build that is going to require the data-media version of CWM and resizing partitions like the Milaq 4.3? Thanks

Hi,
I experienced loss of data, much like as reported another member here, I only lost the folders that were added by me, it also removed the TWRP back up folder, however folders that are the usual like Music, Download remained as they were, however, the gallery app refused to load any images.
In between the reboots, I connected the TouchPad to PC and noticed something peculiar, after the very first boot, it showed about 9GB free, the same was on TWRP too, even though my folders were all gone, and after the next reboot on being connected to PC it showed me about 17GB free.
My install method was using TWRP, system wipe and flashing the zips,
I have extended the system and data partitions using the Tailor method to 512mb and 2.5gb respectively.
For now, I am back on 4.3 but would like to be able to help test out if there are any fixes that you are trying. Once again, thanks for the all the good work on these ROMs :good:
You know I think TWRP is the cause if data loss just reading peoples experiences in this thread. CWM FTW!

Z1c Marshmallow ROMs

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 it would be helpful to make a Z1c MM resource thread.
1. Vanir - Team Vanir released the first MM ROM for Z1c, (AFAIK), and is currently developing 2 MM roms, Vanir and Commotio. There is no official xda thread for them. Both seem stable and smooth, but as of 5/4, Vanir ROM is still without camera. Update - 5/12 build with working camera, quality similar to other CM.

G+ page - https://www.google.com/url?q=https:...ggcMAA&usg=AFQjCNGnu0diBIp4Tq1K-8Bap0HCDxw_TQ
2. AOKP - Still no working official build, but may be coming. Meanwhile, @championswimmer has built one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...ent/aokp-mm-6-0-1-unofficial-nightly-t3311699
3. Resurrection Remix - A well known favorite of many. All the customization you could want.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...resurrection-remix-marshmallow-amami-t3325195
Update by @david320te - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66899475&postcount=121
4. AOSP by @CLINTZ9 - Probably my personal favorite so far. Good camera, and RRO layers support. Latest build is update 4, which has issues in /system. I recommend flashing update 3, with boot IMG from update 4, (make sure to flash sim fix).
Thread also has a build by @munjeni in post #245, which he says shows serious errors in dmesg, and which has the same problems in /system as update 4, (at least non-working auto-rotate).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/orig-development/aosp-t3317511
5. AOSP by @freexperia - just found out about this, haven't tried yet. No xda thread. Download from fxpblog. Currently only hosted on uploaded.to, so expect 1-2 hour download time. They did finally get around to using AFH with their 5.1 builds, so maybe they'll do that with this one too at some point. Update- been using last build for a day, (5/4 I think), and very solid. Camera is good and everything seems working.
http://fxpblog.co/aosp/aosp-6-0/ (look for Amami).
I deodexed system folders, (7/17 build), if anyone wants - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1niPALD2vPedDlSUEs2bHhhUWM/view?usp=drivesdk
6. CM13 - @derf elot took the initiative in the middle of a q&a thread about the lack of CM13 for Z1c, and posted a build. So far so good, and he's working on an update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66506018&postcount=8
7. Omni by @erikcas - thanks for reminder from @alf-endy. An older build. I tried it when first released, but don't really remember much. Check post #73 here ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...lopment/omnirom-5-1-unofficial-t3190451/page8
8. DU - just posted 5/11, haven't tried yet... Will update. Update 5/12 - ROM is nice and smooth with lots of customization. Camera seems buggy, even though seemed to be able to take good pictures. It just wouldn't yake them sometimes, or flash at the wrong time, etc. Update 5/19. New build, camera improved.

9. AICP - Personal build by @SpiritCroc. Haven't tried it yet. Update 5/12 - Nice ROM. Everything working well as far as I can tell. Camera quality not so good, probably due to outdated CM camera files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66814852&postcount=30
Update 7/29 - AICP now has a thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...lopment/rom-aicp-11-0-mm-6-0-1-amami-t3428288
10. CM 13 by @CLINTZ9 posted yesterday, haven't tried yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/orig-development/cm-13-0-amami-t3377635
11. AOSPA by Paranoid Android. Official build just released - https://plus.google.com/+EvanAndersonA/posts/72TLZMj4K5S Flashed today and working well. Camera is good and 3rd-party cameras work. Built-in camera froze on me several times, but other apps didn't. Not much built-in customization options, pretty much straight AOSP, but with CM themes.
12. CM13 by @SouthernPacific - haven't tried it yet, but reports are that in-call echo found in some other custom Roms is fixed here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/rom-cm-13-amami-t3459617
I think that's all I know of so far. Let me know if I missed anything, or other ideas, etc...
p.s. - if there's not a specific gapps link in the ROM thread, you can probably use Opengapps.
https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...ggbMAA&usg=AFQjCNEV401XzT6BiV_vnUgQH9s9qdQybA
p.p.s. - Here's some links to useful mods/add-ons for AOSP and DU roms:
- Modified kernel and camera upgrade by @maz-1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...kernel-exfat-support-mtkcamera-dirty-t3388396
- NFC files, (not included in AOSP for some reason) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67128642&postcount=68
- There's an issue with gapps on MM, where, if you don't flash gapps with the original clean flash of the rom, Setup Wizard will fc at boot, and you'll be stuck there. If you do boot your rom without gapps, you can either: a) boot into recovery and use file manager to delete setupwizard apk from /system/priv-app, (which will probably work fine, but on one occasion I got bugs with Gplay services after doing that), or, b) just reflash system, (dirty), when flashing gapps, (this seems better, but you'll have to reflash any other system mods you may have made, like supersu or Xposed, etc.).
- to enable using 3rd-party camera apps on Vanir and DU, edit build prop according to this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67783086&postcount=233 (by default, you will get only black screen). Note that this will remove camera api2 features
Great Idea!
Unfortunately the Camera for RR-M has stopped working for me (using at as a daily driver right now). Battery is great, but only after a few days...the first few days were horrible. (No idea why)
I couldn't get AOSP from @cliTNZ9 running, Maybe i'll try the one from @freeexperia
CM13 looks promising, but the Blobs are a few weeks behind, so the camera is also crap...
Haven't tried AOKP.

Look here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66177015&postcount=111 This should get it to boot. If you don't have new BL, you may need to use fastboot to temp-flash kernel and recovery for installing su, etc. With new recovery, just flash ROM, power off, boot into recovery and flash others.
Hi, just to let you'll know - I've been running the 4/24 build of MM from fxp, and it runs great! I haven't even gotten a reboot for a few days now (but it still happens randomly). Also, there's isn't any auto-rotation issue. The only thing not working from what I can tell is the NFC and FM radio chip. Camera is excellent for it not being official.

Good to hear. Interesting about NFC - I haven't even seen it in settings options yet on AOSP, never mind working. I wondered if it was phasing out or something... I've also been impressed with current AOSP camera. Funny BC they never got anywhere with the camera on LP
Thanks for your instruction.
But you know how is instruction to flash vanir?
Need I the boot.img?
Thanks

download from uploaded.to is a nightmare
Could anyone that is happy with their sound/volume upload the ’mixer_paths.xml’, please!! It can be found in '/system/etc
I've tried a couple MM roms now (currently testing aosp from fxp), but outgoing calls are always too low and the other person can hear their echo if I put them on speaker.
So please check this before posting anything..
Thanks a lot!
Thanks! Someone has tried Omni-6.0.1 by erikcas?

As is stated, Vanir ROMs are very good but still no working camera. I've been in communication on G+, and dev has linked me a teat version. Going to try today.

Thanks for info. I loved his Omni 5.1, (he was also the first to get AOSP camera going on 5.1), but I haven't seen an update to the thread for quite a while. Have a link?

That's the rom I'm on right now. Will try mixer_paths.xml's from lollipop roms as well, if I find an old backup.. Let's hope devs will look into it for future releases.
Currently testing AOSP from freexperia. So far so good. Camera is good and everybody working.

I'm really interested. Please keep us posted how it goes and if there are any bugs or things not working, like Bluetooth, NFC etc.

So far, 1 random reboot, with no mods to system. Besides that, no problems. BT seems good, (screenshot). As far as NFC, I have not seen NFC option in settings on any AOSP MM build yet, not sure why.
