Precise Volume Control, Smooth Scrolling and Battery Drain Fix
This is a modified framework.jar and framework.odex based on the tutorial here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411317
This mod is tested working on ICS Final by Jusada. I don't know if this mod is isn't working for others. One thing for sure, this works for CyanogenMod 7.2. I haven't try flash it on other ROMs, so, if this works for you, do tell me. I'll let the others know.

After 3 days using this mod, i can say it's amazing for my phone. My battery life increased almost twice. I used my phone as usual - always 3G and wi-fi on, few 5-6 mins phone calls and a lot of browsing in market and browser. Few minutes of Angry Birds Rio (I'm not a fan of games, my girlfriend plays) and almost 45 mins of watching online TV. My battery last more than two and a half days!!! This is something unthinkable until now. The volume steps are 30 and smooth scolling is working well for me too.
Thank you for this mod!!!

Basically, this a patch of :
A more precise volume control (Volume steps mod)
A smoother overall scrolling (Smooth scroll mod)
Fixed a CyanogenMod 7.2 battery drain issue
Volume steps mod
- People who use Android may complain about the big jump of the volume control.
- By using this mod, the volume steps are changed to 30 steps instead of the default 15 so the volume control becomes more precise.
Smooth scroll mod
- Some application developers recommend disable 'scrollingcache' in app's internal config as it can cause problem to the system, but not all applications have disabled scrollingcache.
- You will experience better overall scrolling after flashing this mod.
Battery Drain Issue
- Some people report that CyanogenMod 7.2 has a battery drain issue on SGA, and till now the problem hasn't been resolved yet.
- In my experience, this mod gives ENORMOUS battery saving, even when my SGA is overclocked at 883 MHz. But then, this is only from my own experience. I won't promise you anything.
Installing method:
Download the frameworkmod.zip from the attachment.
Mount /system.
Flash it via ClockWorkMod.
Enjoy.
Just in case of failure, make sure you have a NANDROID backup before flashing. If you have boot problems, use advance restore>restore system to revert it back.
Don't blame me if your SGA won't boot if you're using deodexed roms or stock rom.
CREDITS
Thanks to AndroidON for his great tutorial in making this mod working. Also to everybody who help me as testers and who share ideas with me.
P.S: This mod takes no effect for some people, but it works if added manually though. I think it's a script problem. Try flashing this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436367&page=6 (Thanks kevinlekiller )
Please click the thanks button, if this works.
__________________________________________________________________
Great News for Deodexed ROMs users, I have made the deodexed version of this mod, but yet to be tested due to no deodex roms at my disposal. So, this is a BIG WARNING!! Try, and report. Make sure you make a NANDROID backup first in case of boot failure. Anybody who use deodex roms, and want to contribute something in this modding, please PM me.
NEWThis is the working deodexed frameworkmod based on TheMyth ICS beta 2 framework.jar. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21247921&postcount=104 Try and report.
NEWThere are some people who report InfinityROM works with the deodexed version, the one that you can download below despite the rom itself is a odexed rom. Ask Mr Google why.
Can you explain what you did on the "Battery Drain Issue". Thanks.
Honestly, I totally had no idea why this would fix the battery issue, but to my experience this makes my battery lasts longer than before the modding. So, I just make a premature conclusion that MAYBE the modding itself repairs the issue. I don't know.
The volume control it's great but i'm not sure if fix the battery issue and the scrolling its great
Good work!
Glad it's working for you since this is my first post here.
thx for the mod will test it later!!
I assume it's capable of working with other mods like slaid's, gadgetcheck's and others, cause the files won't be placed in init.d?

Sorry, please read again at the post. This is not a init.d script mod, this is a modified /system/framework/framework.jar and framework.odex files. Of course this mod completely compatible with those scripts, I suppose.
I know this isn't an init.d mod. That's why I mentioned it in my previous post to justify my statement. I asked just to be sure, it's the first question of this kind here so I think it's ok. Thanks for the answer.

Does it stuck forever or takes more time to get into boot animation? Please reboot for several times, and wait much longer at the ANDROID title.

Sorry, I overlooked your earlier post.
no joy on stock rom
thought i would try, tested on stock and stock based custom rom.
installed it over ginger real 2,wiped cache and dalvik then tried with wipe data factory reset.
hung on boot screen for ten mins each try, thought i'd try it anyway for feedback.
keep it up mate.
It works just flashed via CWM, rom CyanogenMod 7.2
Sent from my GT-S5830
I didn't get bootloop. Using ICS by jusada. I'll see what it can do
I never use stock roms, so, there will be no mods for stock roms from me. Quite a disappointing news to stock roms fans.
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.

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...pment/rom-dirty-unicorns-v10-2-amami-t3376938
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?

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 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.

Can you confirm that this is working? I've been wanting to use a black substratum theme for ages, but until now I didn't dare to, since substratum doesn't officially support LineageOS as far as I know. On top of that I read a couple of comments of people having issues

You're right, but I meant LineageOS as in an LOS-based ROM more than LOS itself. Most custom ROMs run better than LOS and have a bunch of features.
You may know that Substratum uses "OMS" to do the overlay stuff, so if you want a ROM with full substratum compatibility, it's as easy as finding one with the necessary commits, like NucleaROM or RR (I prefer NucleaROM over all of the other LOS-based ROMs to be honest). Just look at the description of the ROM for 'oms support'. Or you can try, I'm sure that I used Substratum on LineageOS stock for some time and I was getting 7 hrs SOT with heavy usage

Alright, so thats how it is. But you say you had it running on LOS? Did you experience issues, or why don't you have it running anymore? To be honest I would currently prefer not flashing a new rom, since I'm kinda dependent on my phone working right now and at the moment, it works mostly fine would still love to use a totally black substratum theme though

You have LOS on your phone though, right? If so, why don't you try? It's not like you have to flash anything so you can't brick your phone...
I think I used it on LOS yeah. But I prefer stock over custom ROMs by far. And now that the MiFavor 5 ROM is out (with the Android 7 QS tiles) I don't have any reason to use the buggy and laggy custom ROMs
I swear LOS was the worst of them all when I used it back in Feb/March. The worst thing was that a bunch of apps simply didn't feel like working...

Yes I do. Personally I don't feel like it's that bad so you think it's save to try it out?
Hmm so you feel like stock is better right now? I switched to LOS because I was kinda mad at the stock rom (at least the German one) since updates weren't coming at promised times and when they did come they were full of bugs like apps not working and more.... Which was mostly fixed afterwards, but I wasn't that happy with the situation. I also didn't like the look and feel, which now wouldn't be as much of a problem, since I'm using Nova + KLWP to change most of the visuals. Is the "Tiles-App" with more QS tiles working with stock now? It didn't when I went to LOS. How's battery life? What are your main reason to go back to stock?
And least but not last.... How would I get back to stock? Just flashing a zip from the ZTE website?
And another weird thing which didn't bother me too much until now: I bought my phone in Germany so I had the G model. Ever since going to LineageOS, which included unlocking the boot loader etc. My phone tells me /shows up as the U model.... Is that bad in any way? Other than that it seems to work alright though

-I like stock because it runs better, and even though I thought I would hate ZTE's UI, I actually like it after using it for a long time. And the 5.0 UI is awesome, nuff said. They use blur on the volume pop-up and when you pull down the status bar.
MiFavor 5.0 is not official, it's just the A2017 ROM that's been ported by the Russians. You need to install a special A2017 bootstack (it seemed really dangerous but it's not that bad really) and then the system zip, which formats /system anyways. After that you have to format /data (which will format the internal storage too, just saying) because of the encryption, and it should boot just fine.
I have an A2017G too and flipped out when they f00ked up with B02 with Google Play Store, then B03 with exfat, and went to LOS. Then i tried to go back and DFU-bricked my phone. After I fixed it I preferred to stay stock, and in B04 they fixed everything there was to fix. Tried NucleaROM, best so far but it still has that WIP feel...
Anyways, make a backup of your current system on an SD card if you want to go 5.0.
The A2017U thing is normal, it's because the universal bootloader is actually the U bootloader without the NON-HLOS.bin which you flash later via the A2017G-MODEM.zip (which is ancient lol)
Thank you again for your aid! I have another question....
I downloaded substratum now and installed some themes but somehow I can't get them to work...
For example "Flux" tells me everything went good and I need to restart, but nothing changes after the reboot...
Swift Black has some errors compiling :/
Any ideas?

The best would be wiping everything, but you can try wiping system only. after that if the phone doesn't work well just wipe data
It seems to be that all the ROMs have bugs or are laggy. Stock is best right now if my research is correct.
Stock...
Edit* with a few things added and removed...
So I am running Nuclear Ron now, everything went smoothly and I've got Magisk installed correctly for root access. So far when I'm using the rom I love everything and substratum works well as well.....
But.... Whenever I turn of the screen it almost immediately reboots... when using my phone I don't get any random reboots, but when the screen is off it restarts every time. This is a real bummer and I keep my phone off most of the time right now, to prevent the reboots every minute :/
Any ideas what the reason for this issue could be? Would love to stay with this rom, but only if I can get this fixed!
I Uninstalled substratum and the substratum themes by the way, but that didn't help either...
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!
I get phenomenal battery life and speed on NucleaROM. Stability is so-so, however.
Hi guys!
Is already have my OP5 since a month and using FreedomOS with Franco Kernel since the 2nd day I got it in my hand.
I am pretty happy in everything it brongs me both things, but I want to ask to people who has another custom ROM (xXx NoLimits, Resurrection Remix, ExperienceOS, etc) / Kernel on its device (I do not know a lot of kernels but I saw Franco and people (and his developer) told me some features and they hat reason is very smooth good and customizable with its own app.
So which Rom do you have? Magisk or SuperSu? Which Kernel is the best for you? :victory:
I want to get your personal opinion and your experience, I hope more people have the questions I did it and here we can help us each other with our opinion about using X rom X kernel and some more features that I can not put it here because I do not know if there are more things (my last Z5 I used mods and tweaks to make better performance but if you have a kernel like France you do not need this).
Thank you very much for your help :fingers-crossed:
I'm using xXx no limits and use the AKT (advanced kernel tweaks or so?) mod.
I don't know about the kernels but the ROM itself is my favorite.
It has an aroma installer (you pick which features you want before installing them) with many options.
You won't need to download gapps, magisk/ supersu and some stuff like xposed separately. It's very convenient.
Everything is smooth.
The stereo mod (using the earpiece as a speaker for music and videos) is something which is weird as it's used for something it wasn't meant to be used but still a very nice addition.
It's basically a faster stock OOS (oxygen OS) in a bundle with some root functionality added.
This shall be it for now. I hope that I could help you. Fell free to ask if you have any questions
I am using pure stock since I got this phone on the 4th of September and I have to say since then I stopped being a flasholic.
PureFusion because I've had the Nexus 6P and Pixel XL before this phone and ran PureNexus on those, and PureFusion is based on that. It's the only ROM that I feel provides just the right amount of features for me (not too much and not too less).
I'm using the stock kernel now because using custom kernels would introduce issues.
I did have the phone randomly reboot on Me 2 times so far but I can't say for sure that it's the ROM that is causing it.
Overall it's my favourite one out of the handful I have tried and I would definitely recommend it!!
Gonna go with stock as well. Stock kernel or Franco. Gotta say, better speed and battery than the other stuff out there. You gotta figure a whole company can do much better in software development than 1 guy or a team of 5 or 6 people.
Pure Fusion here too because its given me an extremely better battery life from the normal 3 hours SOT, i now get roughly 6 . Stock Kernel with the rom because it's just good for me all in all, maybe will try Franco sometime down the road because, i've been along time supporter. Magisk just because I don't need much except YouTube without ads, also can use Snapchat and other apps flawlessly! Good Luck!

I watched too Pure Fusion OS, but I need to know if I can install it jsut the Rom of do I need too one of the gapps that are they in the original post the gapps, bu I need to know how to install it?
Do I just make a clean install or i do a clean install and I install one of the gapps?
I must ask too, if I have unlocked the bootloeader, does that mean I have my mobile encrypted? Can I install Pure Fusion OS without problem?
What I normally do is wipe everything but internal memory, install room along with gapps I use open and it boots up! And you're all good to go !

It doesn't really matter. You can download open gapps or one for the others (forgot the names. Hehe).
You'll have to flash the ROM first and then the gapps file in the recovery. That's it.
But beware. Playing with your phones software doesn't come without risks. Read a lot about what you have to do and preferably try it on a phone to practice before doing it on your normal phone.
It can break your phone and I don't think that you can/ want to buy a new one. I had bricked my first phone a week after getting into root and custom ROMs.
The problems after that have driven me crazy but I was going to buy a new phone anyway.
LPT: If you want to flash something, wait for stable releases as long as you're inexperienced. Wait till others have tried that and then flash it. That way, you'll avoid some of the problems that you would struggle for a long time to fix.
And don't forget this. Keep an eye on the forums to see what problems people are reporting of and how to solve or avoid them in the first place.
Hope I could help

Arm 64/ 7.1 / And then you can choose which you like i don't need everything from Google so i'm sure what to select and as the previous post it has a stable and beta build PERSONALLY i'm using the beta and no problems at all! Any other questions feel free to ask!
This is an age old question..
You need to ask yourself not us.
What is your favourite car ? Mines a McLaren or a nismo, or a s2000 or robocops car.
You may disagree..
So what do you like, flash a bunch and see for yourself..
Bare in mind these threads usually get closed.
I'm using pure fusion and love it.
Since buying this Sprint Note 4 I have tried 4 different custom ROM. 1 touch-wiz, and 3 AOSP. My opinion Detux Corp Rom v9.0-Zelfania'sLove is the absolute best in terms of looks, stability, customizing and response. This along with BeastMode-r61-UN7 kernel makes it a perfect combination for a phone that is now 6 yrs old.. . I did have a few issue, during the first few installs, as I have not dealt with a Touch-whiz ROM in a few yrs. Every thing about this Rom is superb. With plenty of customizing, and tweaking, you really do not need to add anything else to make this Rom stand out over the others.. One issue I did have was with viper4Android. With the option to install in Aroma, after installing it would not work like it was suppose to. It would never process or change any aspect of audio that I choose.. Once I Re did the Rom again, after trying a few AOSP, I downloaded the Viper4Android APK separate, along with the preinstalled busybox, it works flawless. Also it was very lagging, and would often be impossible to get it to to anything until it finally settled, but was worth the wait.. Right now nothing of note, is wrong not even Bluetooth, which seems to be a big issue on AOSP ROMS. Even with help on how to correct Bluetooth issue, it would still persist and never work correctly..
Just purchased two ZeroLemon batteries for my Note 4. The original works just fine, but wanted to have extra, for when this thing actually dies.. Of course I will swap out batteries at least once a month, and always have one fully charged and ready to replace, when I'm either at work or out and about.. I did purchase a new original Samsung battery, that was still in it's original box off of Ebay. But when it came, and I charged it and installed it in the phone. The phone would immediately shut off or just reboot.. Battery Man date was Mid 2017, but is defective. So went looking at alternatives, and settled on ZeroLemon as they have a good reputation.. Plus both with free shipping was $30 from their site.. Most aftermarket batteries, you can seem to only buy via Amazon or Ebay.. This is the route I did not want to go, so I'm glade I went to ZeroLemon..
Please can you send me screenshots of this detux corp rom

Merry Christmas and happy holidays Doubledragon5

Check this out
5DQ15 bootloader and Modem running on a Lollipop custom rom, system root and Samsung theming full functioning as it should.
Cons= camera is blurted but I'll see if I can port or modify the files. Perhaps flash the modified r61/r56 Marshmallow kernel. Experimentation and observation.
Check out SuperSu Pro V2.52
I kept having issues with BusyBox. I finally found where it was pre-installed but it took me a while, I will admit. The Busybox by Steritson or what ever, was showing it was installed to the /sbin/. However, I discovered it was in device/ data/local/ and there it was Busybox. The screen shot is from after I manually deleted it with my root file manager . Yea, I took a bit of a risk but it did fit well with me. It just didn't look right.
Next, I unistalled previous bbox applets from within the app. I rebooted and ran the app to see if all was bbox was removed. a. Tgen I denied it root , forced stoped cleared cache, data and unistalled. nd indeed. I now use l Busybox app to Jrummy. Looks good so far but will see. Anyway, system/xbin for syatem root and syatem/sbin or system/bin for syatemless root.

Hello my friend, Its good to hear from you. I'm running the Ultimate Note 5 hybrid rom (MOAR). Hears the link if you interested.

Which kernel did you use? How is your battery life? I never did like battery life with the marshmallows ROMs
I gave it a shot, but wifi doesn't work... So back to UN7
Yea, I never almost never use Wifi but I couldn't get my hot spot to work. Blurred camera, no Wifi and no hot spot. My Bluetooth works. I have an old back from my previous Note 4, I was wondering if I should flash the modem partitions . Freaking fused 5, binary 4 bit the bog one. Dam!!
Im using the besst mode 2.2 ZL by @freeza. I think I try porting the r56 boot.img to the .zip of the R 2.2 ZL kernel zip. I appreciate any input or suggestions @doubledragon5

I can care less about hotspot. But if we can get Wi-Fi to work that would be fantastic
