btw, is there an easy root method for lollipop now other than the pre-rooted firmware?

Yes, but still. You need recovery.
If your Z1 have recovery. It can be easily root. But don't have, u will have to revert to kitkat. Get the recovery, root, update and root.

No use. Tweaking kernel for that feature results in battery draining.
They also need to have the hardware to do so.

Some how you are right.
I knew about this when I was using Galaxy S2.
To detect the screen activity, you will need to have a permanent wake lock. Else the screen won't detect the touch.
But I am not so sure about are we having something like "new method" appear in Z1. Haha...

Anyway, we need to unlocked the bootloader to install custom kernel.
