I have earlier rooted and used CWM in my old Xperia Neo and Now I am scared with Xperia z1, please tell how to root!!
Follow this link - http://xpgui.de/1hLN2is for the full guide to root present firmware.
to DE-ODEX my ROM , my model is c906, can I use these files? C6903_14.2.A.1.136_deodex.zip
Have you tried it? Does it really allow you to capture 4k videos in mid-range phones? No lag, no stuttering, no file writing issues??
Well TimeShift Video works well 120 fps and slow motion akk good.
4k libs files are not added yet, as soon as they are posted 4k will be available to record.
Z1 z1c zu shouldn't show any lags but anyother handset like XZ ZL ZR will show lag surely.
Try visiting the original thread by dev.
Doesn't work for me :( xperia Z with Existenz 6.1 by Niaboc79

I am running original stock rom(oxed) .... is there any way de-oxe this rom and install the time shift video or is there an easier way to make it work?? please help :(
C6903 stockrom odexed
same error as karthik
in the evening i will deodex my phone and hope it works
you have just screwed my Z1 now i did all the things mentioned here, i'm rooted, deodexed, .136 and after flashing the libs nothing's working! even replacing the SemCameraUI the camera just disappeared!
That's bad, don't panic just restore your old stock camera files.
P.S. All files are from the developer not by ourself, you may get success in porting and sometimes you don't.
Dude i tried it and it doesn't work on my xperia z and i am not able to recover my c6602 original camera apps and lib files please help me.
Is time shift video app really working on your Z1? I mean does it shoot video at 120Fps ??
