I need some one to test the bot.img for regular XA1. I can't test it since I don't have the device. It doesn't hurt as long you only boot no flash.
Fastboot boot boot.img
If it boots and everything is working then you can flash the boot.img and then the recovery.img to avoid the boot loops or reboot loops.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
If it doesn't boot. I will compile a kernel for the regular XA1. I need to upload the source before uploading the kernel.

I am not sure it is gonna work due to ramdisk. But as I said it doesn't hurt by only boot from it.

Thank you for working on this. I have an XA1 and I'm desperate to mod it.
Unfortunately I'm not in a position to try it myself yet. I've changed my job and I've lost access to my old work PC. That had all the right drivers on it.
I might be able to install them on the new work computer but I need to check how easily the IT department will spot it first!
Sent from my Sony Xperia XA1 using XDA Labs

I am not sure the kernel/boot.img and recovery.img gonna work for XA1, But try it. Since they are very similar to each other. Download the latest Supersu and flash it to achieve root. Don't forget my beer, thanks. ENJOY

Please try it out and report me back. Thank

how does one backup the DRM keys? i'd be a tester if i could back them up

i tried with bootloader locked (fastboot boot boot.img), and got this. not sure if it's due my bootloader being locked or what
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot boot boot.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.553s]
booting...
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 5.660s

Hello.. and will be the version for XA1 Ultra Dual (G3212)

figured. i can test after a way to backup ta is found

Unfortunately, it seems not working for XA1 DUAL(G3116)...
I used fastboot boot boot.img and OK with it (still have DM-verity warning)
Then I flashed fastboot flash boot boot.img but get into boot-looping
I haven't tested the recovery but I will try it soon
Still have many thanks! If you need a tester I'll always be here.

Since the kernel code is similar among they, you can have a try to boot with this.
Use fastboot boot boot.img to test(it will not harm your phone) if everything ok ,
Flash it into your phone with fastboot flash boot boot.img.(perhaps cause boot-looping)
Still be sure you can repair your phone from boot-looping and test with it!

I mentioned many times not to flash the boot image. Only boot with fastboot boot boot.img
Incase of boot looping, please send me your kernel.elf and fotakernel.elf ..
I will build a "stochesh" boot.img for you. PM me the links of your kernel and fotakernel and remember to write which model.

Sorry for my typo, "fastboot flash boot.img" should be corrected as "fastboot boot boot.img"
It's booted well as "fastboot boot boot.img" but bricked on "fastboot flash boot boot.img"....

[TWRP]+[KERNEL]+[ROOT]-Xperia XA1 Plus with more features

I am not having XA1 Plus anymore. This kernel is development discontinued. Sorry for that.
Hello Xperia lovers , Today i am going to present you Xperia XA1 Plus Stock kernel with more usefull features . Since Xperia xa1 plus is not added into XDA yet, Project device is selected temporarily. Will move it later when form Moderators will add this device.
No need to tell about what is kernel and what it do . because almost everyone know these days about kernel and its working process.
So with this kernel you will get twrp 3.2.1 (Latest build) which i have moded to work with MTP devices.
More ever in some devices Data in encrypted automatically. Forcefully data encryption is disabled in this kernel.

This is intial release of this kernel, will update it with more features time by time.
wait for next release with more useful mods and features
To flash this kernel simply install Fastboot and ADB drivers and use flashtool in fastboot mood OR
install ADB and Fastboot drivers,
Then put boot.img in adb and fastboot home path and Or switch off your device and press Vol+ button and attach usb cable
Code:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot reboot
Warning :
Code:
This kernel needs unlocked bootloader
Your Warrenty is void.
i am not responsible if something goes wrong with flashing.
Attaching Stock Boot.img also in case if anyone want to move to stock kernel again.
Many Thanks to developers who inspired us and created tools to work smoothly.

good joob!! i have xa1 plus. Can modify the CPU gobernor with this kernel?

It's for latest firmware only? .117 one?
Does it support MAGISK or only SuperSU?
What about DRM fix/patch?
Sorry for so many questions, but probably some other user would ask them anyway

Hi!
I tried to change the frequency of the cpu with the app "kernel audiutor" and many other apps, but none of them managed to change the frequency of the cpu. I think the problem may be SONY ric

SuperSu is also working very well on it, but if you will flash systemless zip from Here . System mode Supersu will cause bootloops or stuck at boot animation. And magisk works without any error, tested by me.

X and X Compact should get Oreo before XA1 series. And they still didn't. Somewhere (don't remember site) I read that Xes will get it this month and XA1 series around MWC (february/march).

- I can upload it to my personal storage cloud
no, but you can place the thread on this topic without any problems
- Works for Android Nougat
Do not

It doesn't need Magisk and some suspicious module, I think. Any app which can emulate init.d (like Kernel Adiutor) will work just fine.

How do I know it works?
I installed it in a clean rom, but the phone heats up normally as expected, as data: install the magisk file and I throw error, followed the steps to the letter

the device does not heat up if you follow the steps as you re-check the installation and it will last for 2 weeks

Bootloop wheb used on xgen rom 1.07. . Did I do something wrong

Does this mod also work with Omni Rom Oreo?

Hmm, I found only the 1st thing I'm unable to install, I can install the main FCS thing but it's a no go on the initd magisk thing.. it doesn't install....

Copy to internal sd (crucial). Install the zip. Enable init.d using kernel adiutor. Restart phone. Profit.

I was having some weird issues with the mod where the init.d scripts wouldn't run neither with the module suggested in OP nor through Kernel Adiutor and was also tired of having to reflash the mod every time a new security update was released, so I went in and made a pure Magisk version of the mod (attached on this post).
This Magisk version is exactly the same as the OP, the only difference is that it's now a Magisk Module (so it applies systemlessly) and that you don't need busybox nor any kind of init.d support for it to work (the init.d scripts from the mod are executed directly through Magisk late_start hook instead). Download the ZIP, install through Magisk Manager, reboot and done.

You have two options:
1) Boot into TWRP and flash the attachment from my previous post (works only if you already have Magisk installed and working!), then reboot when done.
2) Open Magisk Manager, go to Modules, click the + button, locate the attachment from previous post, then reboot when done.
That's it. You don't need to flash/install anything else.

Used the 2nd method, but there's a problem: after 2 minutes in stand by from the restart of the phone, it restarted by itself...
What's the problem? Need a dalvik/cache wipe after the installation with Magisk? Is it incompatible with Xposed framework (installed on my phone)? Or maybe the compilation base (I'm on fw .118) is different and cause bootloop...
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I used the first method, I had an installation without restart, but it doesn't work!

will it work with .118 rom?

No! But you can get the right file at this link: https://mega.nz/#F!DZAGDY6B!d6CeWtv-tqD0RHtsOHS02w
When you open the folder, find and download fcs thermal v. 1.3. Then install through twrp.
I've installed on stock rom .118 and works great

Hi!
What you have done to fix it? Is the error just for android 13 right? I might do a branch just for android 13
Cheers

revert these two commits 1 2 . yes for A13 only

I don't want to create a seperate thread for this so here goes.
I tried to merge all patches related to Android 13 in a single package. This includes @AltairFR 's NFC, DRM and offline charging fixes, @Abdelhay.ali 's selinux rules and to top it off some tweaks from here and there from me. I made sure it can be flashed from official twrp, can't promise same for modified twrps.
I also made an opt version which doesn't include selinux rules since required ones are already merged to trebledroid. I recommend flashing that one, if you can't boot afterwards flash @Abdelhay.ali 's selinux patch above.
What it does:
- Edits vendor build.prop for safetynet
- Edits system build.prop for performance and spoofing phone model
- Edits vendor fstab to remove encryption
- Edits vendor selinux rules to boot enforcing
- Adds DRM service and required fixes to both system and vendor
- Adds NFC config files to system and system/product
- Adds iceow's offline charging binary & images and edits init.rc accordingly
- Removes unneeded com.android.vndk.vxx folders from system_ext/apex to save some space
- Added ability to resize system before extracting stuff
(twrp might say zip is flashed even tho it didn't because of resize functionality, that happened to me only when I dirty flashed it so I recommend flashing this before booting your system)
I'm a dumb dumb who can't figure out how to sign a zip so here's CRC64 to check for integrity manually :
1.3.1 : AC55639A998DA2B4
1.3.1-opt : 436BCBE5DECF34E0
Also I don't want to create another zip just to go back to stock, all you need to do is get stock vendor image from here and flash it over vendor via twrp. adb push VENDOR.img /sdcard will send it to internal storage, from there you can install image.

Good job frax3r !!!

Update
There are two versions of stock kernel 4.9.148 :
1- Sock kernel 4.9.148 for emui 9.1.0.401 from here extract by Frax3r
2- Sock kernel 4.9.148 for Emui < 9.1.0.401 attached
Thanks @AltairFR for this information
--------------
Stock Kernel 4.9.148 for Emui < 9.1.0.401 backup from TWRP
Because I didn't find any worked .img for 4.9.148 stock kernel. I have attached my Stock Kernel 4.9.148 backup from TWRP. You can use it via Restore option in TWRP after decompress it.

Thank you for your reply. I have already used it, but the output kernel.img not working on my device. Also, I have tried this from @Frax3r, not working too. (It is boot to fastboot with error message)
You can see the size of the extracted kernel is 24Mb and the normal kernel size around 12Mb

Maybe I don't understand it (I'm just a hobbyist), but when the extracted kernel.img is 24Mb and the your TWRP backup kernel.img is also 24Mb, where is the difference?

TWRP take a backup of the whole kernel partition including space.( Like backup system and backup system image).
This is not our problem . There is an error in extracting kernel from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor at least with me. I have mentioned size of the extracted kernel to indicated that.

Check your usb cable, I had the same issue. Turns out cable was faulty. Even my proper cable corrupted few images while flashing, switched usb ports and it flashed uncorrupted. Try different usb ports, if it's same switch cable.

Hi,
I'm trying to install pixel experience on my phone with this guide and I'm using the first recommended twrp. When I want to flash the AIO fix zip file, both adb sideload and install from twrp show the error
'Failed to mount /system_root (invalid arguement)'​I tried many methods from the google search and nothing works. I tried mount /system rw manually, both twrp mount and terminal not working and resize file system from twrp wipe also failed.
How can I solve this? Thanks for your help.

Uf... never had a chance to build a ROM like this... I'd like to try to "create" one for XZ2C since there are almost no other custom ROM there...
Although... I'm already trying to port OrangeFox recovery from akari to xz2c (first dirty mods works fine!)

you loose DRM once you unlock the bootloader,
I don't think there is a way to get widevine L1 back on unlocked bootloader

Thanks for making this. I had Docomo device and this is the only flash-able ROM at the moment.
If possible, may I request a brightness slider on statusbar? Not on quick settings. Its where you just slide anywhere on the statusbar to control the phone brightness. I miss this feature.
Also, whenever I pull down the quick settings, it feels quite jerky/lagging. Is it just me?
I only have like 5 tiles.

Xiaomi&Redmi is one of the only vendors that still gives you Widevine L1 even after BLU. Not gonna happen here on Xperia phones.

Hello,
I would like to know, if the known Front micriphone Software issue is fixed in this OS Form?
Thanks. EW

Thanks for your awesome work！To my surprise, the touching bug that has been bothering me for long seemed to has disappeared after burning this ROM.

Excellent ROM! Thank you so much for making this, I can now finally actually Use my XZ2 Compact.
One small problem - and it might just be me, but I can't seem to get 4G connectivity, only 3G/H+. I checked the bands this device has and I should be able to get a 4G connection with the provider I use in Australia but no luck. Not a big deal right now as 3G hasn't been shutdown here (yet) but just wanted to see if anyone else who uses this ROM has the same issue.

Does 4g works for you on stock rom?
Also did you try to set 4g/LTE manually in the settings?

Yeah I did try manually adding an APN (if that's what you were meaning) but yeah no luck.
I'll see if the SIM works on the stock ROM when I have more time.
