Z1c Nougat Roms

1. AOSP, by @freexperia -
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=17562
Tested 2/27 AOSP build. Seems smooth and stable overall. Only browser is some kind of experimental one that doesn't work too well, or at least you need to spend more time getting used to it than I was willing to. Camera works, but is as good as any other N camera at this point, (bad).
2. AOSP and Lineage, (CM), 14, micro-g patched, by @MSe1969 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=155737 - haven't tried yet. I mistakenly linked it to fxp until I just now noticed it. Will try soon...
3. AICP - https://forum.xda-developers.com/so...lopment/rom-aicp-11-0-mm-6-0-1-amami-t3428288
Excellent rom, regular updates, and lots of customization. Some people have posted about dropped calls in recent builds, but haven't heard of other issues. Magisk integrated. If someone can figure out how to get a good camera, you could hardly ask for more.
4. AOSP by @CLINTZ9 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/orig-development/aosp-t3317511
I haven't been able to get it to boot, (error in twrp). OP says to ignore error and flash, but it won't flash anything for me. I think others have, though, so maybe just something I'm missing. Let me know.
5. LOS by micha-btz - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=153937
Just stumbled across it, and my BL is currently re-locked, so plan on trying soon...
Update - tried today and works well, everything seemed to function. Bad camera as usual, and I couldn't get back into recovery for some reason. I had to flash a different kernel first...
6. CM14/LOS builds by @derf elot https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=41716
7. AOSP builds by SonyAOSP team, (@davidteri91) - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=187966
8. LOS 14 by @Hazou - https://forum.xda-developers.com/so...opment/rom-unofficial-lineageos-14-1-t3636822
Haven't tried yet. Let us know...
9. LOS 14 by munjeni - https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/rom-t3657384 Probably the best yet. Excellent camera. Some have had random reboots on latest build, but maybe fixed with this - http://munjeni.myiphost.com/system.rar
10. Sudamod by @maz-1 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/rom-sudamod-3-1-t3666092
Testing now, LOS-based with some custom tweaks. Fast and smooth, fully working. Op says camera is good, even though 3.1 kernel, pictures look OK so far, going to test more in the light. Very nice ROM.
11. M-ROM port by @dmgZero - https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/m-rom-v2-4-0-t3711381
Stock Nougat style and apps on custom (Carbon) rom. Very nice. Original dev seems to have abandoned xda, but rom has been popular on several devices up to v2.3.1 (I use it on Z3c [https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/rom-los-xperia-ui-z3c-t3654894]). 2.4 was never posted on xda, AFAIK, but posted on a Chinese site called 0z4l, or something, but not possible to download without registration, and I couldn't get successful registration. dmgZero has modded it, apparently. I haven't tried it, since I'm using Z3c at the moment...
BTW - seems to be some degree of controversy around the security of latest version. Check device threads and judge for yourself.
12. Flyme OS by @dmgZero - https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/m-rom-z1cflyme6-8-1-22r-t3742581 I'm mainly on Xc now, so check thread for reports...

to those that have tried the FXP 7.0 (nougat) rom:
did you encounter any other problems besides the non working camera?

Tried out AICP 10/3. Looks good, runs good, no camera...

New AICP build 11/4

hi good day. I'm pretty new to flashing
I managed to install some custom rom and gapps with TWRP.
so I'm now a bit more confident in installing new roms
there's so many custom roms, I don't know which to choose. I need something not bloated, fast, and fully working camera. any help is greatly appreciated.
(or maybe I just should root the stock rom and uninstall bloated apps ?)

For the short answer, he's probably right - Jaguar Is excellent. However, there are now very good roms for this phone in kk, lp, mm, and now n, so there's lots to try. If stability and camera are your main priorities, go with stock-based, or Jaguar. Personally, I don't feel debloating is necessary, if you use an app-management app, like AFwall, or 3C toolbox.

thanks guys !! i shall try jaguar !

Jaguar has all the security updates included which even some Nougat Roms does not have.

Hi there,
I made a CM14.1 build for amami for you to try, based on the sources of sonyxperiadev, SonyCM and SonyAosp. So a big thank you is in order to everyone involved in these projects. I only modified the sonyxperiadev amami sources to work with this build, set SELinux to enforced and removed the Gello browser from the build (there are more updated derivatives on the Play Store anyway).
I have run it for a little bit, and noticed the following bugs so far:
- deepsleep not working when wifi is on (I think)
- camera sometimes force closes, sometimes works (known memory leak bug I think, cam is work in progress)
- lots of CM stuff is not there yet, including themes (remember, CM14.1 is a work in progress)
- ?
To install it, you most likely need real recovery with TWRP3. It includes the new Sony init, so reboot to recovery from ROM works. I'm currently using it with latest OpenGapps and SuperSU, which both seem to work fine as well.
The Z1C is currently my secondary phone, but once it becomes more stable and feature-rich and once Xposed is available for 7.1 (fingers crossed), I will probably also build for the Z3C. Unless we get to see some official CM love again of course.

Just got this phone, I have a few questions!

Hello everyone!
I just switched to an Axon 7 after previously using a HTC One M9. I have a few questions to people here that have more experience with this phone model.
- How is sound quality in LOS/CM based ROMs? Is the dolby DAC being used properly in custom ROMs ?
The reason I bought this phone is the headset sound quality, so far I am not dissapointed at all with the stock ROM quality
-Is there a maintained stock ROM?
I am interested in a clean stock ROM that's maybe debloated and tweaked.
-What about root and android O
I noticed the toolkit has an option to "revert to stock". I want to know what are the correct steps to take when the official MiFlavor android O update is live.
I assume I should revert to stock recovery and boot partition (since now my boot is r/w from rooting). is there anything else I should know ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your time reading this !

HI, good to know you unlocked and rooted your phone quickly.
The reason i did not take the LOS boat was because of the sound issues. In short : never left stock rom because of Dolby.
For some debloated stock ROMS i can mentioned kenet's ( MiFavor 5 though ) and mine (SLIM version) based on latest B06-stockrom (MiFavor 4, debloated, SuperSu...) : https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/rom-slim-version-t3669355
:good:In a couple if days i'm planning to upload my latest AROMA Rom based om B06-SLIM² which can be debloated to zero, and a bunch of stuff you can choose from, but all based on STOCK. So feel free to look into it :cyclops:
Also take a look in Download Center. All the stock roms (for rooted users) are there under Bootstack+Stocksystem. Latest is the B06 version.
I'm trying to maintain all that stuf so all can choose from it
Good Luck !

Thanks so much for your answer!
I assumed the sound quality would be worse on LOS, it was the same situation with HTC and Sense ROMs, you were stuck with Sense if you wanted decent sound quality.
I am very interested in the Aroma ROM, I'll keep an eye out of that, thanks a lot for creating it.
At the moment I am a bit shy to start flashing just 3 days after getting the phone; however I think an Aroma installed ROM is a solid start
Cheers!

I want to be able to take an OTA or SD update if we get official Oreo so stayed stock but the temptation to root and debloat then unroot again is always there.

I read an article saying Oreo will come officially in Q1 2018. That could very well be April 2018; that's why I gave in to rooting.

Maybe.
It gives me a lot of time to work out whether I can go long term on stock ROM.
I don't want hassles with security compatability to use Google Pay and a couple of other apps that check for root.
One reason I won't install ViPER4Android on this phone. As is, it's stock and encrypted. Just as well it has 4Gb RAM because I think it really needs it.

I just went from latest Stock to LOS and honestly I don't hear much difference between them in my music I would say its at least 90% of the quality.
There is a slight distortion on max volume from the speakers. I will see how I like it maybe go back to stock I also bought this phone after an HTC tho mine was the M8 I don't think I will get a non stereo phone again lol.

The front firing speakers are the thing. I have an Oppo Find 7 at home, it has stereo rear speakers in portrait orientation. Good for music but who uses it for that on internal speakers?
The front landscape speakers are perfect for video and handy for VR too. So much more sensible. The Axon 7 is so affordable for so much function now. Quite the bargain!

I have also recently gotten this phone and I love it, compared to my previous phone. Xperia M4 Aqua.
I have tried a lot of custom roms and I found Dark Rom to be the best one overall, great stability, battery life(5-6h SOT compared to 3-5h in stock). However I couldn't keep using the custom rom(s) since a lot of apps and games that I want to run. Do not work under Xposed or Magisk Hide, even if I don't use them. They detect it's Android N and that breaks most of it. So I am using stock rom, there is no problem and I am okay with that until later.
The biggest downside with the stock rom is that the power saving feature is very clunky. It's not optimized for light gaming, it sets the phone on max and drains it very quickly.

[Proper Fix] Asus Pixelmaster camera for Lineage OS

Hello Friends,
Since last year I flashed latest version of Lineage OS on my Asus Zenfone selfie ZD551KL. While everything else about Lineage OS was great and neat, There was one major deal breaker- The Pixelmaster camera did not work. The camera is what makes or breaks the phone and in case of Zenfone selife, getting stock camera to work was paramount. Especially because the the laser focusing system, Dual tone flash and front flash worked correctly only in stock app. Not to mention that stock is otherwise fantastic with all manual and advanced options.
Sure while you could go to Play store or even get an APK to install, few imp functions did not work on new rom- Namely Panaroma, DOF, 360 and HDR.
But wait! I have a fix for that! and 100% working fix that!
Download the particlar file in this google drive link- (its 27 MB)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Nl_kkA93NNP7gaIA8-eHzqkmepqJpJGz
Remove your old camera
Go to CWM/ TWRP and flash Zip from SD card.
Thats it!~ Pixelmaster camera should be installed and ALL functions should work like stock. I found this file after trying numerous other files and other trick and this post is a summation of about 7 months of research. Leave a like if you found this helpful and don't forget to share!

Rooting and choosing the best/stable combination

Hello everyone, i am new to the scene of the Mi A1, i bought the phone about 1 month ago and have been observing the forums, but i would like to ask some questions the community as i have not yet managed to find clear answers to the forums if someone can help me
1. If i root the phone is there a way to revert back to complete stock and get OTA's again?
2. In custom roms, can i get the stock camera working 100%?
3. Is there any custom rom that you recommend in terms of stability and battery life?
4. Are there any drawbacks to the custom rom scene?
5. Do you recommend the stock rom with a custom kernel or a custom rom altogether?
Thank you in advance for your answers, i hope that this thread might be useful to gather some questions altogether for anyone that might have wondered the same stuff as me

Hello,
1. There is a way to update OTA with magisk, but you will need you use magisk just as systemless, without touching system stuff. Alternative you can have root and just unroot everytime you want to update the ROM or you can manually flash the update... You can try this guide... https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/root-mi-a1-oreo-8-0-disabling-ota-magisk-t3728654
2. Stock camera works in custom ROMs, someone did a port somewhere in this forums... https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/themes/oreo-mia1-stock-rom-camera-app-custom-t3758543
3 and 4. Most of the custom ROMs are based on the same sources, LineageOS was one of the first "stable" ROMs so most of the ROMs are based on it, inheriting all of its bugs (haven't found a critical bug). I've tested a few ROMs and the mosts I liked in terms of battery life and stability are... LineageOS and Pixel Experience, you will need to test them out for yourself.
5. If you want to experience a more "stable" feeling stick to Xiaomi development, the latest stable version is 8.0 (with rumors of 8.1 coming soon). If you want latest Android updates and features go for a 8.1 custom ROM.
In my experience you will need to try all this things on your own, until you find a place where you feel comfortable with your phone. Just read guides on how to recover your phone from a bootloop and you are good to go!

I will answer only question number 4 because the guy above me said everything, by the way I prefer RR.
The drawbacks I found on custom roms are 2 for me...
1) Poor signal reception compared to stock
2) Sound quality is much better in stock compared to custom... (my opinion)

I am itching to root the device but to be honest the only thing i want is android 8.1 and a better battery, other than that i am pretty much satisfied with what i have. (and this is coming from someone that changed rom every other week on previous phones) Thank you for your replies, they were informative and greatly appreciated! I just hope Xiaomi updates the phone soon because it feels kinda outdated for an android one device

OOS camera apk on RROS?

I know this might be an unpopular opinion... But I friggin LOVE oxygen OS camera app. I got my OP8P all dressed up with TWRP in both recovery slots, magisk installed, and resurrection remix flashed... Aaannnd I hate the camera app.
I really reeaaaallllly want the oxygen OS camera... I tried installing a few apks from apkmirror and only one out of 7 I tried worked. The ones that didn't work just showed a blank screen. The one that got past that, couldn't select any options at all, and immediately FC'd the moment you touched screen.
Can anyone guide me on how to get the OOS camera app working on RROS? If I'm going to be stuck without it... I'll have to dump RROS, and that would be sad panda ? time.
Thanks in advance.

Totally agree, have said this to all the non OOS threads, plus FHD over QHD.
Main reason why I wouldn't switch from OOS.
Id say it's possible but not by simply installing the camera APK.
