All your requirements are met ok, EXCEPT multitasking.
There is nothing wrong with processor or RAM, but the software (currently 4.1.2) makes a mess of things pretty often. Things close all of a sudden, specially when multiple tabs in browsers, this phone suffers from amnesia...
if u clear recent apps list, walkman closes...
BUT, all of these are expected to be fixed in upcoming 4.3 in a few days. I suggest you wait for that, and then ask us what happened.
Other than that, amazing speed, super fast gaming, awesome battery backup, rich sound and music experience.

That's not a major issue once you have taken note of it....the bugs are not deal breakers... But it's better knowing than not.

if possible can v able to change the dpi of that nav bar
and make it little bit smaller than usual

Of course.... But after root

if you can, go for the z1 Mini. but its is pricy and no idea on when you will get it. but to the OP theres nothing wrong with the sp, multitasking is OK but 2gb ram would help it out however 1gb is enough. Sony has to get us up to kit kat so we will get it its just a a matter of when we do the camera is pretty good speakers are LOUD walkman player is epic and so is the light bar. i don't think you can find a better mid ranger

[Q] [Battery related] S3 Mini i8190L update from stock rom to custom, is it worth it?

Hi guys,
i recently sold my crappy Xperia Tipo (i goddamn hate it) and bought an S3 Mini, i love it, it's my first day with it, but i'm having serious issues with the battery life, it discharges too fast,
When i bought it i drained all the battery, then charged it (turned off) to 100%.... but still its draining too fast.
The phone is brand new... i don't know why it discharges so fast, it's on android 4.1.2:
Should i update to a custom rom? i would like to taste KitKat, that CM11...
Do you suggest it?

The battery is not our great ally here xD
But custom rom have bugs, no matter what ppl say.. they have and will have for a while...
IF you dont care about warranty and want to take the chance to improve your cell, yes, there are some good roms to upgrade Jelly Bean to KitKat or just update to 4.3
Personal, Maclaw have a great work done in his CM and Carbon (Don Like at all Slim or OAKP ) that work with kit kat, still in process; in the case of 4.3 dont know, i just did the jump from 4.1 to 4.4

I'm actually using Mac CM 11.0 and I have to charge it every night, the same as with a Stock ROM / based custom ROM. I'm actually doing around 5 to 6 hours calling and a little bit of Line/Whatsapp during the day.
It's faster, and I like Open Source ROMs the most, because of the design, but it's up to you.

hey guys,
the road so far:
I started rooting and installing TWRP recovery in my phone, then i updated to Maclaw Kitkat 4.4.2 and flashed gapps...
i noted that the phone improved just a little bit, because without the bloatware it's much better, i don't have any bugs actually...
From 5 am to 11.30 am it went down 3% without 3G, i went to sleep and lost 3 % that's a little bit better...
I suggest to do a full rom backup with TWRP and try a new custom rom, 4.4 or 4.3!!
leave this post open for if someone knows something else about the battery life.

Dont know much how long is battery life with the stock rom, bcause i started using the phone directly with the CM11 of maclaw. I am running the 20140120 version, and i am always reading about the news and comments of the last maclaw's release.. (think i will do an update soon..)
I see that battery life increase changing the governor ( abyssplug ) and the I/O scheduler ( sio ). I dont use wifi so much but often 3g data connection (chat, mail pushing, some internet surfing etc..) , listen music, make some photos... airplane mode during night!
after 1,5 day of use.. i should charge!
had an xperiaE before with a stock 4.1.2 jb and the battery life was greater... ( but is completely another device with another hw and os .. )

I'm kindda pissed of with the Xperia line, my friend had the Xperia U and smashed it across the hallway because after hours and hours of flashing new roms it always came down to poor...extreme poor performance haha.
What's the governor ?

governor takes control of which the CPU is used... there are a lot of threads about...or just google the word and you will find a lot of literature..

[Q] Poor multitasking performance

Hello guys!
I just want to ask if i'm the only one who has LG 4X HD and has poor multitasking performance. I had HTC One S (S4 version) for a couple of months and i thought i could make an upgrade with this Lg phone. But i don't know if it's from the software, the hardware or it's just the phone itself. When i'm on Opera Mobile with only 3 tabs opened and want to switch from one tab to another, the animation it's very laggy. When i'm playing a game, let's say CSR Racing for 30 minutes, if i just press Home button to go to Apex Launcher i have lag for a couple of seconds...it's just staying freezed for 4-5 seconds and then i can see the launcher. And it's not like the launcher isn't on RAM memory cause i know how it is.
I was on Stock Jb when i bought the phone. I rooted and all this stuff and now i'm on "Enox rom [stock v20d]". All the lags that i'm having are on Enox. I'm sad because now i'm feeling that HTC One S (which was dual core) was way more better than LG 4x. I had no lags on HTC.
So, guys, pls tell me: it's the phone? Or should i try another ROMs?
Thanks a lot for your answers!

enox is awesome rom with many features, but it's very "heavy", since it has many system apps ported from g/g pro/g2 etc, which are running in background and thus slowing the phone down. i recommend either stock with iodak kernel or custom aosp-based roms, if you wish to have better performance

Thanks for the answer. I will try Beanstalk 4.4.4010 KITKAT. It is ok? Or should i try clean CM 11 nightly? Thanks again for you help.

Its up to you to decide which one you want. You can't miss with either

[Q] CM11 vs. Sony's stock ROM - what are all features / mods we lose?

Hey folks!
I'm really loving my Sony Xperia Z1 after all the mods I've installed, such as 4K and 120fps video, Pen Mod and even stereo loudspeaker support.
Now my phone is getting a little sluggish, and since I've always loved Stock Android I'm seriously thinking about putting Cyanogenmod on it. I've done this a lot on my previous Xperia S but I've always reverted back to the OEM's stock version, even though it may have been slower.
Mostly because whenever I choose a ROM, I lose more features than I'm getting. So right now if I were to put Cyanogenmod on the Z1, I already know the camera is going to be much worse. But I might be able to live with that. Now I only need to know if I can still have stereo loudspeaker support, and even 120fps slow motion video somehow. It should be possible...
So I'm hoping this thread can be a general thread on all differences between Sony's stock KitKat ROM and CM11.
If you're running CM11, please do tell me all about it. Do you prefer it to Sony's KitKat? Is there any functionality you're really missing? Are you even able to flash any Z1 mods? And is CM11 actually as fast as stock Android on the Nexus 5 with the same chipset for example?
Thanks a bunch in advance! I'll make sure to press the 'thanks' button if you can help me out here :angel:

Would like to have a first hand experience as well.
How I see it:
Good:
Light Rom
Xposed not needed, so ART works
Custom recovery with nandroid backup
AOSP keyboard
Bad:
More bugs to be expected
No stock camera app/quality
Currently the cons are kind of keeping me from doing it.

ugh the themes are so flawless! I wish I had the guts to do the switch, but I take too many pics =(

think you miss out on STAMINA mode as well?

Can anyone share the battery life on (the latest) Cyanogenmod?
Currently I'm getting 4 hours of screen on time on Stamina mode. Anything less would be insanely low, and anything higher would be interesting :cyclops:

Tried Cyanogenmod 11 M9 and M10 for a month, and I'm officially back to Sony stock ROM.
Main reasons:
- Battery life, I get over 4 hours screen time using Sony stock ROM, vs 2 and a half hours using Cyanogenmod
- Camera, yes, definitely, even if Sony doesn't have perfect algorithms, the picture quality difference is abysmal between both ROM's.
- STAMINA mode, self explanatory.
- Updates, lately, Sony has improved the update cycle for the applications and OS, Z1 was the first non-Nexus device to get Kit Kat 4.4.4

Thanks for the details!
This is why I recommend Sony to all my non-modding friends. The stock rom is actually usable and not significantly worse than AOSP
Currently with Xposed there is absolutely not a feature I am missing against CM.

have app2sd theme more free more speed more customize and here is my battery slimkat rom

[Q] 4.3 vs 4.4.4 ???

Hello everyone. I finally bought the Sony Xperia ZR.
Currently I'm running android 4.3 and I'm having mixed thoughts about updating to android 4.4.4
I know the best way for me to find out which is more suited to my needs is by trying both of them out but I have limited net plan.
So could I have some suggestions. Anything at all.
Which one, in YOUR opinion has better battery life, multitasking, gaming and anything else you can think of.
Thank you :good:

Always update to latest. Don't think about battery and other stuff.
Update version means corrections on past problem with better solution. It's never changing process.
Good luck.

after 4.4.4 update, my phone is overheating very quickly like in 10 mins usage of facebook or whatsapp or youtube
4.3 was better. and because of overheating, the battery life is shortened.

For me at least, 4.4.4 is much better, it's a lot more responsive, and doesn't have the battery drain bug that 4.4.2 had. The battery life isn't as good as 4.3, I don't think, but I'm not sure, since I'm running Xposed with a whole bunch of modules, some of which take up a lot of RAM and battery. Still, overall, I think you should update.
