Sony Xperia Z1 Compact CM13 (CyanogenMod 13) Marshmallow ROM

[Linux User]

Xperia Z1 Compact CM13 (Z1c codename: Amami) is a CyanogenMod custom ROM based on Android 6.0.1 built by developer derf elot. In addition to this ROM there we have the Lineage OS 14.1 for Xperia Z1 Compact. There is a high possibility that this ROM may be in ALPHA stage (with many more BUG than you can imagine). Please proceed with CAUTION if you understand what am I talking of and don’t forget to have a complete backup of your data and current ROM, otherwise don’t blame me if something goes wrong.

DISCLAIMER:
Installing custom ROM requires a custom recovery to be installed on your device, which may VOID your warranty and may delete all your data. Before proceeding further you may consider backup your all data. You are the only person doing changes to your phone and I cannot be held responsible for the mistakes done by you.
