WARNINGS:
I am not responsible for your device becoming a paperweight. I am also not responsible for death and destruction caused by your flashing this rom on your device. You are at your own perill. Complain to Putin - he will surely help.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Unlocked Bootloader
2. If you have CWM, go to mounts and storage and wipe System/Cache/Data
3. If you have TWRP, go to advanced wipe and wipe System/Cache/Data
4. Flash the rom and reboot.
5. I recommend that you delete Cyanogenmod original boot animation as it slows down the boot significantly: without it your boot should take about 25 seconds. Once you remove bootanimation.zip in /system/media, you will have a nice vanilla android bootanimation.
6. Enjoy the rom and hit Thank You or perhaps Donate?

Thanks Man.. Please keep up the good work
OP, it must be terrible to be asked over and over again but I'd be very glad if you could tell what those changes in the kernel that you have introduced mean for the end user. So to speak, what can we expect after installing this? is this more security oriented or would the random number generation is related to entropy stuff and is supposed to speed up the system?
I saw your other thread too, wanted to give it a try but couldn't understand what these changes to the kernel actually mean for a layman.
Thanks man for your work!

It is actually both security oriented and system speed based on better random number generation.
First of all, I don't trust Selinux, especially in light of the recent Snowden's revelations. So, selinux is out of this kernel. Instead, you have trusted Apparmor, which has been used in Linux for years. In addition, many newer ciphers, which are in this kernel, were disabled by default -- again think of several 3-letter-agencies that are known for deliberately weakening kernels and operating systems to make it easiers for themselves to break. So, I have enabled those ciphers. Hashes, especially SHA512, which is the strongest, were disabled by default. I have enabled them all. Random number generation: the same.
So, as result, you have a more secure system that is faster, because of better and more random seeding.. If you remember, there is an app on XDA, which the author says, provides better random number generation, but it drains battery, because CPU constantly checks if the pool (of random numbers) is large enough. Here, it is different, because the changes (better and more random seeding ) are on the kernel level. So, CPU does not have to constantly wake up and check...

Got it, thanks for the great explanation bro.
I totally get it now, would be trying Aragon one today would definitely come and report how that works!
Great work buddy,
Can you share your kernel sources?
I might include some of your changes in official slimkat
also out of curiosity, if the change is only on the kernel, wouldn't it be easier to share the kernel only!
Regards,
Omar.

Of course it is easier to do the kernel only, but I haven't found the way to do that outside of building the whole rom. Plus, in CM roms, I know where to put those changes: row rhine honam_def.conf and if you look at my sources for Black Argon rom, you will find the changes there.. But Slimroms guys use some other file, so I put my .config file in during the build. Plus, for the new kernel to work, you need modules from the rom you will be using it in and roms differ from one to another. So, for now, it is easier for me to build the whole rom.
very good
each person who comes to their work
it is a hope to be in a rom kk
if this rom has the same problem that all
3g signal loss that is very unpleasant truth
You could solve this drawback
It's good to see you here. A couple of months ago in the ion forums you were patient and answered a lot of questions I had when I switched from HTC to Sony. Armed with a little knowledge, I was able to find a good used Z1 with an unlockable bootloader.
Thanks again.

auto rotate not working
Auto rotate not working anywhere
Yes. For some reason autorotate does not work. I even recompiled the 8.12 version and it still does not work. The Slim original 8.12 is fine. It is also not my kernel, because I am using my kernel with Slimkat original weekly without any problem. I am puzzled as to why it is happening...
The only change in build.prop I made was to add 3 entries regarding rild. You can try to open build.prop and delete those three entries (search for "rild" and delete them). But I don't think rild has anything to do with the sensors.
thanks !

Kitkat custom roms have in boot.img recovery, which collide with fota recovery. You need to get rid of one or you will have no recovery at all. The easiest way is to erase fota recovery:
Boot to fastboot and do this: fastboot erase recovery; then fastboot reboot. That's it.

Rom updated on May 19. This is LP 5.1 release 2. Latest Google/CM/Resurrection sources + all hardened features. Plus cleaned IP addresses (got rid of Google, Level 3 communication, AT&T, Orange, Department of Defense and other shady ips). Also enabled is Volte (enhanced LTE), which is Voice over LTE. This depends on the service provided by your carrier. In the States, for example, T-Mobile provides such services, which include high definition voice. Usually, you need special update done by the manufacturer in conjunction with your carrier. This rom does not need that. Your Z1 is already provisioned for Volte. You will see in Mobile Settings another entry: Enhanced 4g LTE Mode. ALso, in test menu/phone (*#*#4636#*#*), you will see a Volte Provisioned Flag. So, as soon as your carrier starts Volte, you are all set.
Sources are the same...

Rom updated to latest sources on May 4. In addition to regular hardened features, more than 40 instances of Google IP, Level 3 Communication and Department of Defense IPs removed from sources both for IPV4 and IPV6. The same is replaced with Opendns IP. Keep in mind that those ips go not only in configuration files, but libs also and the latter cannot be decompiled and fixed...

Marchh 7: Rom Updated to the latest version + plus all security enhancements. Sources for security changes are the same as posted
See Download section for update
Here is Resurection Remixed Lollipop hardened and secure. Built from sources on February 24.
Changes:
First of all, as many know, encryption on lollipop slows down the device to almost unusable. I was able to resolve that. The culprit was Qualcom crypto module and drivers that collide with graphics. In this rom, when you encrypt your device, there is no noticeable slow down at all. Your master encryption key is no longer stored in crypto module (which rumor has it is backdoored anyway), but rather hashed and salted on the drive itself.
1. Modified kernel to disable creepy SElinux and enable Tomoyo security. Now you can safely use Xposed framework and some modules such as Xprivacy, Appsettings and ShowDialpad, as well as many others
2. Modified kernel to disable qualcom module and drivers
3. Disabled creepy qualcom random number generation and enabled all other methods
4. Enabled 256 bit AES drive encryption as opposed to Google's default 128 bit
5. Enabled all ciphers and hashes available in kernel and disabled by default (thanks Sony and Google)
6. Latest CM changes
7. Omniswitch (to be flashed separately after flashing the rom)
Maybe more
INSTALL:
1. Be on Kitkat, rooted with CWM or TWRP
2. Enter Recovery, wipe System, Data, Cache
3. Flash the rom
4. Flash Omniswitch
5. Reboot and enjoy
If you want to encrypt your device, you need to do 2 additional steps before or after encryption. Go to Developer Options and enable "Force GPU rendering" and "Disable HW overlays. Yes, you have to enable (not disable) "Disable HW overlays" option. The latter won't stick after reboot. So, manually transfer the attached init.d script to /system/etc/init.d and set permissions to at least 744. This way the option will be set at boot and you won't have any noticeable slowdown. In fact, I don't see any difference in speed between encrypted and non encrypted device.

So just need to look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/general/rom-official-cyanogenmod-12-nightlies-t3007118 is that right?
Sorry I have to confirm, there are multiple threads (Official/Development) for CM12.
This ROM will maintain root and recovery, right?
I'll flash and let you know if I find any other issues.
Tried it. Works great. Some strange problem with mms though. Could not load them even though data works perfectly. Battery life looks great. Didn't try calling so i can't say anything about the mic.

November 11: Rom updated. This is the same release 29 with the following changes:
1. Fixed notifications: now you have the correct icons in status bar
2. Network switches in Settings: mobile, wifi and bluetooth
3. Changes in WP8_supplicant: better wifi
You can flash dirty if you are on the previous release.

November 9: Rom updated to release 29
1. Latest Google sources including stagefright and audioflinger patches
2. Updated M5 kernel compiled with GCC 5.2.1 Ubertc - some say no one has done it before
3. Du has abandoned Lollipop (too bad for them), so, this is final unless there are further releases by Google
Kernel does NOT have recovery builtin. So, have TWRP in Fota/Recovery partition
Download: See download link for November 11 above
You may try to do dirty flashing if you were on a previous release, but full wipe is preferable
Oh, I want to give credit (the second time in this thread) for initial kernel sources to @Myself5

October 14. New update to LP 5.1.1 r24. This release includes:
1. Blacklist (call blocking). If you go to Security, you will see Blacklist heading where you can add numbers to block
2. Google October Security Patches.
3. Latest Sources (r.24)
This is probably the final Lollipop release, unless Google does r.25 et al. Virtually no one is doing anything with Lollipop: everyone is on Marshmallow... So, enjoy it while it lasts, as we are looking at the next summer the earliest when Marshmallow could become stable...

September 23. Rom updated to LP 5.1.1 r18, DU release 9.7. Latest sources.
Kernel includes the implementation of the latest Linux commit where persistent ram is replaced with Pstore. Also, the latest Sony 14.6 release with a revamped wifi module. The result: more ram available, better wifi and general stability... This kernel is only available on my Jaguar rom (originally) and this version of DU.
Do a fresh install and then you can restore your data (if you were on my prior release), otherwise, fresh install.
Remember, due to DU implementation of Selinux switch (which in my release is redundant (as Selinux is disabled in kernel), the system will take an extra minute (on first boot only) to have access to Settings. Android may complain that Settings app is not responding, choose wait and then allow root access to Settings, so that it could do its thing with Selinux switch. You only have to do it once...

____________________________________________________________________________________________________
August 22: Rom updated to LP 5.1.1 r13. Latest sources.
The main change: I have fixed brightness in TWRP 2.8.7. Due to horrendously wrong values, brightness could not be manually adjusted and also exceeded Sony's maximum settings over 18 times, which resulted in temperature rising to over 65 degrees during flashing. So, now the brightness lever works and you have about 52 degrees during backup/restore. I will be pushing commits upstream soon..
Download Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=14132 Download link fixed. There were 4 downloads, please re-download and re- flash.....
You can flash dirty if you are on my previous release.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
August 14: Rom updated to LP 5.1.1 r10 and DU 9.6. Original DU is still release 9, but I used Google's r10 sources.
Latest AOSP/CM/DU sources. Latest M5 kernel with cpu/gpu overclock. TWRP 2.8.7 is in boot image.
You may flash dirty if you were on my previous release. If you use Xposed modules, you must flash Xposed for LP5.1.1 before rebooting.
Otherwise, clean flash. Keep in mind that due to DU changes LockClock app is part of DU Tweaks and if you remove it, you won't have access to Tweaks anymore. The good news is that DU's Lockclock does not have googleplay binaries...
Download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=14022

August 11: Kernel updated to include the latest CM and M5 commits. Kernel now is 2 mb lighter. Also, the fixed TWRP 2.8.7 is included in boot.img.
Download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62282724&postcount=198
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
August 3: New build. Latest changes. On my end latest M5 kernel with the following additions:
1. CPU frequencies and voltage: 268/300/422/652/729/883/960/1036/1190/1267/1497/1574/1728/1958/2150/2265/2419/2457 and they all show up in voltage
2. GPU two new frequencies: 533/600
I flashed dirty, wiped cache/dalvik and had no problems, but clean flash with the subsequent data restore in TWRP is still preferable.

P.S. TWRP is in boot, so, get rid of your fota recovery first...

____________________________________________________________________________________________________
July 30: New build. This is DU's release 9.5. Latest sources. See changelog in rom.
On my side: Wifi disconnection after 15 min of sleep and excessive draining are fixed. Now, the battery draining is very close to Kitkat
And generally wifi has more power now, as I have increased power cap to 80. All features listed below are also included
On first boot, Settings app is going to hang for about 1 minute due to the fact that SElinux switch is looking for Selinux which is expelled from the rom (as you know), so, just wait for Settings ask for root permission and grant it. If the system says app is not responding, choose wait, because you really want to give Settings that root permission, so that it wouldn't bother you anymore
If you are on a previous DU build, you may flash dirty, but fresh install (and then data restore in TWRP) is preferred.
TWRP is back in boot.img, so, if you have fota recovery, get rid of it in bootloader: fastboot erase recovery

The second in Settings brings Hotspot idle support based on this: https://github.com/DirtyUnicorns/android_packages_apps_Settings/commit/ccabd57818de51196e7cb82eeae266e90029bb08
Just flash the attached dirty and reboot.

Rom updated on June 27. This is LP 5.1.1 release 5. Latest DU and Google sources. All my hardened features included.
Additional changes (by me):
1. Network selection includes all options seen in phone test menu. Now, you can select many combinations of networks in Settings/More/Cellular Networks, as opposed to just 3g/2g/Lte, which means that your selection will stick, unlike when you make changes in test phone menu
2. SlimLauncher instead of Launcher3

New build is up. I think I was able to address most heat issues. There are also a few changes in DU sources in framework, telephony, vendor and DU tweaks. CPUs are running at about 32 degrees idle and about 42-47 under load. You should also see battery life improvement. There is absolutely no screen flickering (because of no overheating). This is experimental, as I have addressed some MP decision triggers, which in generic CM based kernels result in all 4 CPUs being online all the time. No wonder there was overheating.
I have also found that surprisingly the most lag free action is with Conservative governor. This is counter intuitive, but nonetheless true.. You try it and report

soon i test this rom very thanks for the work
I have run this rom for about 24 hours and here are my impressions:
Most stable rom so far and I have tried them all. Also, good on battery. Flickering issue has been definitely fixed (by CM) and I have used their honami device with new values in thermanager. It was not easy to build, but doable, as opposed to Omnirom, which as of now, has no chance for our device. Thanks to DirtyUnicorns, they have a separate calf branch which is suitable for Z1. Don't try to use another kernel with this rom unless you copy modules too. This kernel has screen, sound settings, but no voltage, and I don't recommend tinkering with default values. I have also given up on TWRP 2.8.6, as it has major bugs resulting in overheating and failure to backup/restore. Use any version below.
The rom requires some tinkering: as such, Adaway defaults to disabled on reboot, because of DirtyUnicorn's internal adblock. If like myself, you like Adaway more, then disable adblock in Dirty Tweaks and also delete /system/etc/hosts.alt file. This way, Adaway will work fine.
A separate word on battery. It takes me 3-3.5 hours on OEM charger for a full charge from about 16%. If it takes you more or less, don't blame the rom/kernel, it is your battery dying. Forget about fast charging, it will do nothing good and for sure will destroy the battery. Heat just kills it like nothing else. If the charging is slow, the battery can't get the required voltage and the phone wouldn't report it fully charged. If it is too fast, that means that it attained the required voltage, but holding capacity has been severely reduced, which in turn means, the battery won't hold the load. Trust me, I have recently put a new battery (and new battery door) after using the phone for less than a year. Changing the battery was not a pleasant experience (the sticky they put on glass did not hold, so, I had to use glass glue,.) Why it was a battery? Because, while the phone would say battery heath is good, youtube wouldn't last for more than 20 minutes. Considering that the phone appeared in 2013, that's a miserable battery life, bit it was my fault: too much flashing and heat.
Screen freezes?
Any screen freezes on this ROM? Stayed away from AOSP cause my panel has issues with it. Would be nice to have a ROM which doesn't freeze
Wow, I've been waiting for this!
The only thing that's bothering me now is the lack of advance WiFi and Bluetooth option in the tiles (no arrow below WiFi and Bluetooth icon).
What things do or do not work? I honestly want to flash this so bad, but I'm afraid I might want to go back to my previous ROM when I find out my camera/shutter key doesn't work :/
I'm running a debloated version of the stock ROM, and I'm looking into this for an even lighter experience.
Thanks!
Quick question regarding C6902...would it be required to flash the modem separately like before on kitkat? Or has that been integrated into the rom?
Thanks.for understanding

I had this bug in all 5.1 ROMs where the camera preview would work fine in low light but after pressing shutter, the photo would come out dark.
Is it still here in this ROM?
Hi, have some problems installing. When I install it seems to remove recovery and I think the efs as well since the network doesn't work at all. I've flashed it three times, each time losing recovery and having to flash the stock rom back. Thanka for your help

Just do a search for Xperia Z1 recovery fota solution or fastboot any kernel with good recovery.
I don't know what efs is, but I have absolutely no network/wifi problems: works straight on boot. If you have C6902, you need to flash a file that is posted in general section.

Here is a 5.1 kernel with TWRP integrated.
Unzip it and flash in fastboot: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Remember, if you have TWRP in FOTA, don't flash this one, because you wouldn't be able to get to recovery at all.

You are confusing this rom, which is an unofficial build with the official one posted a few days ago. My build was posted just an hour ago. None of those bugs are present in my build: There is CM themer, there is power menu including advanced boot and there is a working TWRP in boot image.
Sorry, it is from another team. My fault

]anuary 24: Rom updated to release 33
Warning: All my roms now include a custom script that executes on boot, not at init.d level, which comes much later, but at init.rc. This script disables internet access to prevent data leaking from android system during boot before init.d or your firewalls come in. After the phone is booted and Afwall starts, it resets iptable rules and you then have the internet. Afwall is a must if you care about your privacy and battery life. If you, however, are not going to use Afwall, then delete the following file: /system/etc/crashdod.sh and reboot.
1. Release 33
2. January security patches
3. Wakelock blocker added
4. Updated M5 kernel to include latest CM/Sony changes

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
November 1. New kernel. [/COLOR]
1. Enabled hardware based encryption mixed with software (you need to re-encrypt to have the feature),
2. Enabled hardware random number generation also mixed with software
3. Your WIFI will work regardless of whether you have old wifi binaries or new
4. I have not incorporated some CM/M5 commits, as they cause random reboots.
5. Some security improvements in init files: now adb won't really work if usb debugging is set to off. Before that even if debugging was off, kernel would still get adb root rights during boot, which is insecure

2. Unzip boot.img and flash in fastboot: fastboot flash boot boot.img
3. To install TWRP 2.8.7 in Fota or Recovery (depending on whether you have upgraded your bootloader or not) do this also in fastboot: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

This is Tesla-Redux resurrected by me. As you know, the latest official build does not recognize simcard, virtually turning your phone in a wifi device. Moreover, rhine devices are no longer officially supported and the honami thread itself is closed. Well, I fixed the simcard issue and built the rom from the latest sources.
Features include: SlimPie, RRO Layers, Customizable QS Tiles, SlimRecents, Slim's Power Menu, Slim's Nav bar, Hardware keys configuration, Animation Control, App Circle Sidebar, Lockscreen Weather, Screenrecorder settings, Kernel Aduitor built in plus more. My usual hardened features include hardened kernel (modified M5) plus removed nefarious IPs pooped by Google all over the source; full network choice in Cell menu; background wifi scanning is disabled for privacy and battery sake; cell network is handled by Android, as opposed to the modem; Volte provisioned; TWRP 2.8.7 in boot image, and much more...
This rom does NOT include the latest CM power scheme change, which causes random reboots and other issues. It is neither in this rom nor in my DU or Jaguar rom. The original power scheme was fine, no bugs, nothing to fix. So, why fix it, especially, that CM and Sony folks are incorporating 5-10 year old changes just now. I am not blaming Sony kernel developers, as they are not given the latest Sony blobs that are used in stock. So, as a result, they are working like kittens in the dark trying to bridge kernel with android and hardware. The same applies to the latest kernel commits including wifi. Prima driver worked fine in my latest Jaguar/DU builds, there were no WIFI issues. Moreover, the latest M5 changes cause multiple errors during build, so, kernel in this rom is stable as of October 8 or 9. This is the best you can get, as I doubt anyone will be paying any attention to lollipop any longer. .
Usual XDA warning: if your device dies or kills everybody in the vicinity, blame Putin, but I don't recommend it, since Russians mean business nowadays.
Instructions:
1. Unlocked bootloader, root and TWRP recovery
2. Wipe everything including internal SD card
3. Flash the rom, reboot and enjoy

Thank you. I am now on Tesla and it is hard to say which one is better. Jaguar is a little lighter, though. but Tesla guys have changed some animation timing, so, even if you turn off animation in developer section completely, it still feels a little different. I think Jaguar is lighter and a little faster, but Tesla feels smoother...

I think he's referring to the rounded corners of the notifications and the recent apps.

No, it's a boot.img, so, you'll need a laptop...
This is the Official Jaguar rom for Leo, which is based on AOSP with some flavors from Slim and Dirtyunicorn plus a bunch of features only this rom has, such as a working camera button. . The rom was originally made for Xperia Z1 Honami in August 2015, then extended to Z1c and now to Z2/Z3/Z3c. The rom has been downloaded thousands times and enjoyed great success. I hope the trend will continue with Jaguar for Leo.
Why LP, as opposed to MM and Nougat? Several reasons. The main one is Sony's unfriendliness to development community. Camera sucks, because Sony wouldn't provide proper blobs. Also, MM brings very few features, as opposed to LP. MM is still in alpha, but is already being abandoned by developers in favor of Nougat. Nougat will never work for Z1/Z2/Z3, because Sony wants you to buy a newer device. And finally, all LP roms, except Jaguar, have been abandoned by their developers since November 2015. CM still publishes nightly LP, but they have abandoned CM 12.1 kernel, meaning, they haven't incorporated about 800 security patches from Google and Code Aurora in LP kernel. Another reason - I take changes from Android Gerrit Master Branch, Code Aurora, Google Security Bulletins and 3.10, 3.18 and 4.x kernels. Enough reasons for you?
The main difference from other roms is the emphasis on security and multiple features. With that in mind , let's see what Jaguar has to offer:
1. Hardened Kernel, modified M5; hardened rom built with HYPERTOOL 5.4
2. All ciphers enabled in kernel instead of just a few
3. Hardened/Fortified Bionic and Libs
4. Fstack protection strong to resist buffer overflows
5. Many System apps and processes are made read-only, to reduce elevation of privilege
6. Selinux replaced with Tomoyo Security, Yam security
7. Disc encryption, keymaster to 256 bit AES instead of 128
8. Latest TWRP with working brightness and ability to decrypt Data (Coming Soon)
9. Random number generation mixed hardware/software, as recommended by Linus Torwalds
10. Options to randomize host on every boot
11. Option to have a separate password for lock screen and boot
12. Qualcomm's Time Services disabled due to leaking on early boot (set time to automatic to get it from your carrier)
13. WIFI Background Scanning disabled to prevent leaking
14. Internet disabled for both WIFI and Data until Afwall is set and activiated (Afwall included in download, install as regular app)
15. The phone is VOLTE ready and you have all network options available in Cell menu (not just LTE/WCDMA/GSM)
16. GRsecurity features, such as Sidechannel implemented
17. Some Pax Security Features
18. Option to deny USB connection: denied always; denied when locked; and allowed always
19. Hardened webview with Google and other "interesting" IPs removed
20. Prevention of bruteforcing screen pin: the phone will reboot upon 3 unsuccessful attempts
21. Perfect_Event_Paranoid ported from Grsecurity: now third party apps can't use other apps including system to elevate privileges
22. Camera hardware button works to focus, take pictures and start video recording
23. Option to disable writing to Tombstones (a lot of private info is dumped there if there is a crash)
24. Option to disable continuing writing of logcat
25. Option to disable device cameras: back; front, both or none
26. Option to disable third party apps to access clipboard
27. Always latest Google Security Patches
28. Always latest Code Aurora Security Patches
29. Changes ported directly from Google Android Gerrit, so most of those in MM and even N are in this rom
30. About 80% of kernel changes are ported into Jaguar kernel from 3.10 and 3.18 (not Sony AOSP 3.10 that has Down Syndrome, but Linux/Google/Code Aurora one)
31. Rom is odexed to significantly increase boot speed (under 30 seconds) and application start
32. Many more security features ported from Linux and Copperhead OS
33. Dns Crypt: a feature allowing to choose among many Dns providers (all encrypted)
34. Seccomp: secure computing enabled in kernel
Other features include: Layers Theme Engine; Native Call Recording with interface integrated in Dialer with no restrictions; Privacy Guard; Native Wakelock Blocker; Native Black List; Global Menu; Slim Recents; Traffic Indicators; Advanced Reboot; Slim Pie; CPU Info on Screen; Ram Bar in Recents; Open Source Supeuser included and integrated in Settings; True Offline Charging with Screen Off; Kernel Adiutor included (unzip and install as a normal app) and integrated in Settings plus more
Things users need to know to have smooth experience:. These are not bugs, but rather an explanation of some features
1. If you want to do data encryption, keep in mind that unlike Android, Jaguar uses 256 bit encryption. If you were encrypted on other roms, you won't be able to decrypt. So, wipe encryption and then re-encrypt on Jaguar. Also, keep in mind that if you ever did factory reset on official TWRP 3+ for honami, your data partition is screwed and have to be resized to enable encryption. This has nothing to do with the rom, but rather with the official TWRP itself. Fastboot my unofficial TWRP 3.0.2, (it is coming for Xperia Z3c, which, by the way has working brightness, as well as ability to decrypt and mount data
2. Jaguar contains a script running on early boot, which cuts the internet access to both WIFI and Data until Afwall is running. This is done to prevent leaking, as well as having all your internet traffic routed through some interesting number of servers, including this IP: 26.147.196.22. So, install Afwall and activate it, otherwise, no Internet for you
3. If your system language is different from English and you want to make changes in Phone/Cell Network settings, switch to English first, make the changes and then return to your language. The changes you made will hold. If you try to make the changes in your language, you will have com.android.phone crash. Localization takes time and is virtually impossible to implement in Jaguar, which is a one-person-rom
4. Sony TimeKeep, which is ported from MM/N, now sets the correct time on reboot without the Internet or GSM signal. All you need to do is set it once and TimeKeep will save/recalculate/restore the same on each reboot
5. GAPPS: if you use them, you need to flash them right after the rom (or each update) and before reboot. Flashing after reboot will result in multiple f/c
6. Due to Volte implementation, you might be required to flash LP or MM stock baseband (only if you have no 2g/3g signal)
7. Helpful fastboot commands: for flashing TWRP: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
for flashing kernel: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Download: All updates and change logs are in Post #3
Instructions:
1. Be on LP at least, have TWRP, unlocked bootloader and root
2. In TWRP, wipe data/factory reset, then wipe System/Data/Cache/Dalvik
3. Flash the rom
4. Reboot, install Afwall and Kernel Adiutor as normal apps; activate Afwall to have Internet
5. Enjoy the rom, say thank you, donate or do both
Warning: If your device and/or anyone in the immediate vicinity dies, don't blame me: it is all China and Russia's fault.

Development update and some Screenshots
I broke my Z1 screen again and I am not in the mood for after market screens. And I am sick and tired of Sony crappy treatment of development community.
I am now looking at Lenovo Zuk Z2 or Z2 pro. Both excellent phones with the latest CPU and made out of metal and glass by Motorola which they bought from Google a couple of years ago. Zuk is friendly to developers and their blobs don't dumb down camera and they don't seek to "unify" bugs for all their devices. I no longer wish to support a fat bastard corporation that can't make a good phone, but thinks that just by putting their logo on the phone would make it worth $700.
RE Jaguar. I will continue to maintain Jaguar mainly with security patches... for a while, but my main work will be concentrated on Zuk. There is a lot of work to be done cleaning Android N and implementing security and other features from Jaguar...

January 29. XDA is having a problem with upload/download. So, here is updated TWRP 3.0.2 that is able to decrypt and mount encrypted data partition. This one is different from the originally posted, because it includes the correct time. Together with the February release (not now), it will set the correct time both in recovery and the rom:
Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120704246 There is a new TWRP on top of this post and in the download section...
January 12: New release This should take care of a color line on Auo displays. Also included is the fully working NFC-HCE for Android Pay (to pass Safety Net, you'll have to delete Supersu and su binary). And January security patches, of course...
Download: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=22563
You may flash dirty on top of another Jaguar release. Otherwise - clean install
__________________________________________________________________________________
December 31. TWRP 3.0.2 able to decrypt data. This works well for Xperia Z1 and Z1c, but, since I don't have the device, it may or may not work for Z3. So, test it and report
Unzip the file (attached to this post) and flash in fastboot like this: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
____________________________________________________________________________________________
December 14. New build with increased brightness levels. Flash only if you have a type of display that has flickering on low brightness. If you have no flickering, no need to upgrade
Download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=22108
______________________________________________________________________________
December 10: Rom updated to include
1. December security patches
2. Signature Spoofing (Omnirom type), switch in Developer settings
3. USSD fixed (maybe)
Download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=22020

Any support for d6633?
I flash the baseband but after reboot the baseband is unknown again. And the ussd code not working.

Flash the correct baseband AFTER flashing the rom. If it says unknown baseband, you won't have even a sim card recognized.
USSD is a known issue. It works, but slowly: I get a response in 2-3 minutes...
Flash baseband alreadyworking .but after reboot the base band is gone.btw the rom is super fast.hope u can fix the baseband and ussd. Thanks for the rom.

You have to flash baseband for your country variant. I am in the US and had euro baseband and it took 10 sec for the phone to find signal. Then I flashed US baseband and and now I get signal right away...
Yes I flash my country baseband. At first it shows the baseband.but after reboot the baseband turn to unknow again.
Thanks for a great aosp rom! I'll try whenever I have time.
What do you mean with "localisation takes time"? Do you mean that gps is slow?

No, everything is fast here. Localization means translation to foreign languages. If you want to change mobile network settings (2g/3g/Lte), you would have to switch to English, make changes and then return to your language. That's the only area where you need to do that...
Wow looks amazing, but the million $ question is, is fisheye still present? Since camera is pretty useless on aosp with this fisheye since day 1 on z3..

I don't know. Z2 users say there is no fish eye, but there is one on Z3 compact...
Thanks ! Amazing work !
Any plans for a dual sim version ? (D6633/D6683)
The ROM is FAAAST. Incredible, it restored my apps with titanium twice as fast as with other ROMs .
I have a little request, and is to have the network speed indicators in the right side, at the left of the WiFi indicator.
Thanks!

This is greatest Z3 endeavor so far focused on security and stability!
We cant blame Sony for lack of official N ROM, however, lack of working MM source, no up to date MM ROM, which on galaxy s5 is something obvious makes me wonder if Sony doesn't make z3 obsolete for purpose.
Thank you for your effort!
Are there any prolonged battery life features?
Could any of users share battery life and image quality info?
To check if there is any camera distortion its enough to shot something like computer screen and see if its rectangle or it is distorted.
Camera fisheye bug is present.
Also, I I'm experiencing some light flickering on the screen at minimum brightness. Is more noticeable on white screens.

This is awesome! I didn't expect a proper ROM for the Z3 anymore; Paranoid Android development seems slow and I'm still on infected's last CM12.1 ROM – so this is exactly what I'm looking for: A ROM with focus on security. I'll try it out as soon as possible.
Do you guys experience overheating? I encrypted my phone and it burns now... Using the same ROM but for Z3C...
Edit:
Is it possible to decrypt my phone ? I can only see the information that my phone is encrypted, can't click on it.

Your phone is 'burninig', not because of encryption, but because you changed some settings in Kernel Adiutor. If you don't know what you are doing, don't touch anything. Untick all 'apply on boot' and reboot the phone to load default values. Jaguar on Z3c doesn't get over 50 degrees at highest loads (playing graphic intensive games)...
