[9][OFFICIAL][WEEKLY] CarbonROM | cr-7.0 [maple] - Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,

Downloading,I will feedback

Sorry for my bad english
But I found some problems:
1. NFC is not working, I cant open NFC
2.Fingerprint sensor is insensitive,
when I try to create my fingerprint,the system says "It has stains on sensor." but I have cleaned already
Sorry it seems that is my problem , please ignore it.
3.Style Cover Stand SCSG10 is working inappropriate (same problem on early oreo builds)
when i covered up, xzp couldn't sleep
4.Mobile data cant work
others seems work perfectly
My firmware is 47.2.A.10.107
---
Edit:
I changed firmware to 47.1.A.16.20, NFC can work now
SCSG10 still works inappropriately, and Mobile data doesn't work. (only calls / sms)
But now the system says "your vendor doesn't match to your system".

1,NFC is dead
2,G8142 card 2 can't be recognized
3,Network not available
（basic on .107）
other things working Great！！！
how about make Camera Switch available？

I'm coming from a fully clean install of 47.2.A.10.107.
NFC is working fine, however I can confirm the mobile data issue, which is very weird as this was working flawless before. I'm looking into it.
As for DualSIM support: I released a build in the 6.1 thread a few days ago, which no DualSIM user provided any feedback to, so I went ahead and released these builds with the Single SIM device in mind. Unless I find a way to unify the devices (like I did in Oreo, which apparently doesn't work anymore because thats what this build uses) I'm not going to support the DualSIM variants.
If anyone is willing to help me debugging this issue on the DualSIM variants by flashing testbuilds and getting logs etc, hit me up.
Edit: found the cause for the mobile data, must've removed that by accident during a cleanup. A working build will be released later today
EDIT2: Build is running right now and will appear on the download page once done.

Can anyone confirm camera2api and gcam hdr+ support?

Thanks for fixing Mobile data and now it works.
NFC is also working, but need reboot after gapps setup wizard or first boot, I dont know if this is a problem.
(Just clean flash 47.2.A.10.107, I dont know why i cant open nfc in my first try. I clean flashed before...)

No, this rom blobs are based stock, so no level3 support.

Just flashed the rom and its smooth and awesome. So far everything working except dt2w.
For some reason with Magisk 19.3, ctsProfile is returning false. It didnt fail in any of the other SODPs or the latest stock rom. Anyone facing same issue?

It seems Carbon's kernel tree is almost identical to cryptomilk's.
I recall I can't turn on NFC when using cryptomilk's kernel tree to build my own ROMs, either. However, NFC works fine with Sjll's kernel tree, despite being a few days older.
Not sure about the exact cause of this, but it's possible that something in 47.2.A.10.107 might be needed. My phone is currently still based on 47.2.A.10.80 as the .107 build for my region is not out. If the older stock base is indeed the cause of the issue, I'll consider flashing a current stock ROM of different region.

Does SD card functionality still work on G8142? I haven't tested the new CarbonROM build, but personally I had positive results with SD card on other ROMs/kernels that were targeting G8141.

Given it works on both my phones that were on .107 before and that the blobs are from .107, this could be the cause. If you flash the latest stock ROM make sure to fully boot into it at least once because the stock ROM sometimes also upgrades the NFC Firmware on the chip itself.
P.S. The kernel is the same as cryptomilks.

Oh cmon man you literally quoted a message of me saying that I don't have the Dual SIM variant nor any testers for it (yet). I have quite a few ideas on how I could fix it, but without any testers I'm just not gonna touch it at all.

I have G8142 and I can say, "Yes, SD card still works on G8142."
But I dont have 2nd sim card so i cant test if dualsim works

.107 clean installation, there were also problems with NFC, after rebooting it was fixed.

The Smart Cover function does not work, the screen continues to light after closing the cover, or the action of the magnetic cover (by the Hall sensor), I do not know how it should, but it does not work ..

So far stable enough to be daily driver except issues with magisk. Magisk keeps getting uninstalled on its own and have to be reinstalled in twrp every now and then. And after it gets installed, the rom stutters and doesn't open any apps or the settings and have to be restarted a few times for it to go back to normal.
Also a feature to modify charging led settings would be awesome. (I tried to find and modify it in root but couldn't find the charging led settings in /sys/class/leds)
Camera is frickin awesome. It's sooo much better than stock even without lvl3 camera2api. For anyone trying to find a decent camera app, try using opencamera with camera2api enabled in settings. Except for hdr(doesn't work, will force close), it's able to take really good images. If only somehow able to shoot 960fps slomo .

Magisk 19.3 - there were no problems with self-removal, there is a delay when starting up applications with a white screen after a reboot, it holds the battery well 2% per night.

I spent some time working with @haiha2001 on the XZ1 Dual today. Along the road we came across a few things but it's not working yet. HOWEVER, the XZ1 seems to have a different/more advanced issue than the XZ Premium. Whereas the XZ Premium has SIM1 working, the XZ1 doesn't have any SIM working at all.
That brings me to the following:
There was a fairly obvious flaw (thank Sony for that for not having unity of system property locations across Single/Dual SIM) which could explain why only one SIM is working on the XZ Premium. I've fixed it in the linked boot.img. If someone with two SIM Cards and the Dual SIM variant could try and let me know how it's doing on maple_dsds I'd be very happy.

Just flashed your boot.IMG

Off-topic but @haiha2001 is a great guy! He also tests aroma zip files and other zips for me, to do with another rom.

Because I see the XZ1 seems to be less supported by programmers for this device while the XZ Premium has quite a lot, while I know that the XZ Premium is not too different from the off-screen XZ1, so I'm willing to support the programmers to check the rom or mod version for XZ1, if they have an idea I will help my best ?

Did she voluntarily gave it to you yet or do we need to send armed troops to make her ? First screenshot looks promising already.
also, in case you're rooted, please get me the output of the following:
Code:
adb shell
then enter
Code:
su
(Accept Magisk request on the phone)
and then run
Code:
cat /cache/modem/modem_switcher_status
cat /cache/modem/modem_switcher_report
And send me the output.
Alternatively you can run it via terminal emulator starting at the "su" part.

ABANDONED [TWRP][20151015] dr4stic's TWRP 2.8.7.0 w/ stuff (Most Variants)

I BUILD ABANDON A TWRP!
THIS PROJECT IS ABANDONED (2015-12-06)
Blastagator's 2.8.7.3 release fixes the problem that started my quest: the sepolicy squashing that damaged the gapps permissions on CM-12 OS updates. Given that I had many more issues that came from my choice of CM-12.1 as a base (instead of whatever TWRP wanted) and that I lacked the time, inclination or expertise to pursue the issues, I have chosen to abandon this project. If it worked for you and you didn't need the extra features that were buggy, then by all means enjoy. However this project is no longer supported.
What is it?
It's TWRP! It's for a number of the G2's! Which ones? The ones supported by whatever the current CyanogenMod is. GSM: D800/1/2/3, CDMA: LS980, VS980. This is because, despite the TWRP documentation, I use CyanogenMod as a base, and if CyanogenMod doesn't currently support the given model, then I won't be supporting it with my TWRP. This TWRP is built with hints from (and thanks for) @blastagator's TWRP.
README.FIRST / DISCLAIMER
THERE BE DRAGONS HERE!!! USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

This includes your EFS and other sensitive things. It is entirely possible that you may end up bricking your device. I really hope that doesn't happen, but I am also not responsible if it does. Please, behave responsibly and know that if you've taken the time to get this installed, well... your warranty is void.

Known Issues / Red Flags
I've only really tested on the D800 because that's what I have access to. However I've reports that it works fine on the other variants.
Reports that it doesn't work with blastagator's hybrid LP bootstack. (User says reboots into bootloader)
F2FS Support currently a bit borked. (User's say formatting doesn't work and causes ROM to bootloop, or is very slow and doesn't work.)
Users using AROMA will have issues installing things. Something about the installation process causes the recovery to reboot.

Hello folks,
I BUILD A TWRP!

When I see how many projects are done for the G2, I really think I should give a try... Anyway, !gg mate, I'll try this recovery .

What did you change? Or did you just build my repos and post a new thread?

It's not just a download and rebuild, if that's what you're asking (and, I'm not trying to upset the apple cart or anything).
The build started as the end of my trying to figure out what the problem was with CM and Gapps that required it to be re-flashed each time a rom update was flashed. I experimented with running commands by hand, dissecting upgrade scripts, found that contexts were either not being set or being lost, etc... etc... And at some point the only answer I could come up with was that it was the recovery. I tried the CM recovery, which is worse than the black death, and it worked fine. Since your TWRP is the latest, I didn't understand why it wasn't keeping contexts. At that point I decided to build my own TWRP, so I started from the only official docs I could find. That's what my base started as.... the cm-10.1 repos they have on their github for g2.
After realizing that simply wasn't going to work, I started re-working and basing off of CM. I didn't necessarily want to look at your work because in my mind yours was done right and based on latest CM. I eventually looked at it for some hints (hence my attribution). It wasn't until I realized your device repos looked odd to me that I realized what happened. Your device repos were based from back when the G2 stuff was barely starting out on CM-12.1... it was still very 12.0 (which, in itself was a ball of vomit for the g2). It lacked the selinux stuff (which is why it was losing contexts) and you also used an alternate kernel (unsurprisingly, cuz the CM stuff was still in a state of vomit). There are no judgements. At the time you built the recovery, it's what was available and working. I don't think the G2 got selinux turned up until some time in very early August.
So, I decided to fork copies of the latest CM device repos which all work now, base everything off the current CM kernel (I figured this was safest for compatibility). I actually looked through the TWRP sources to hunt for actual BoardCommonConfig.mk settings (the docs seemed VERY lacking) and an understanding of how they all interacted. I looked at your repo for hints, but I didn't just copy it. As a result I use more current settings (a few of yours are actually deprecated). I'm assuming because of the age of your repo that your builds were lokified and you bumped them after the fact. Mine have all the changes that came with 12.1 including a lack of loki and being bumped as part of the build process. The rc files are all stock CM. Many things simply don't exist from your version because the recovery environment seems REALLY restricted once it's built. The few things that I did borrow, I moved into more appropriate locations and file names to be more respectful of the build process.
So, to answer your question: it started as a rather long and annoying bug hunt, then turned into a long but fruitful learning experience, and once I had a version that worked, I posted it for the few folks on the CM forum for whom this is a real pain in the ass.
It certainly wasn't a quick process and a grab for glory.... hell, once I realized that the CM build process needed to build a full ROM to get all the appropriate files into the recovery image, each one of those device builds took over an hour to build.
I started a new thread because I wanted to have a specific place where I could respond to issues if they arose, or at least tell people that I didn't care about their piddly little problems. I wanted a little more control over the support process, to be able to modify the OP with pertinent issues and links as they came up. It's something I wish had happened with CM-12.1 "official" threads.
There are things that I'm not sure of, and I try to indicate as much in the OP. The thread regulars indicated the history of needing thermal support, but I'm not sure if I got it right. Neither your recovery nor mine actually got the thermal libraries or binary included in the file system, however the process seems to be running. Nor are the configuration files included on the file system. f2fs support seems to simply be an additional package, and since the official G2 repos theoretically have f2fs support, I added that and moved along. The tools seem to be included on the file system.
I'm in the process of posting my changes to github, probably tomorrow since I'm still sorta learning to do that and I have things to do tonight. You can see them then. If you post an updated version of your recovery with my modifications, I'll happily close this thread.

@dr4stic
There's no "thermal support" official twrp uses their kernel, which blasts all cores on max freq, generating needless amounts of heat.
From the sounds of it, you're using the stock cm12.1 kernel, so there should be no heat issues. If the CPU gets hot, it will throttle as it is supposed to.
So that's what his twrp means when it says thermal support. It uses our phones kernel so it operates like it would on a ROM.

@Lawlrus, thank you for the explanation! After I investigated I assumed that's what was going on, but I didn't want to assume and then tell people something I wasn't sure about. I noticed that mine gets a slight toastier than blastagator's, but not a significant difference. I attributed it more to kernel tuning with the finalized CM kernel than anything else.

Nah man, I'm not upset. I made it so easy (or tried to make it easy, at least) to build my source so other people could muck with it. My curiosity stems from wanting to add any improvements in to my build.
I briefly messed with cm12 device trees but didn't have luck the first go around so I didn't bother going down that road. Will definitely keep an eye on this thread.
My builds are built with the Omni 4.4 Source, and these changes:
https://github.com/blastagator/cm_device_lge_g2-common/blob/cm-11.0/blastagator_g2-common.xml
The device trees are actually based on cm-11, not 12.
As for SELinux, issues probably stem from this: https://github.com/blastagator/aicp...mmit/85953d0cf8dd3d33406ad8a745ced99e5039f766. When I committed it I thought it set SELinux to permissive. However, it actually completely disables SELinux, so the kernel won't automatically preserve contexts, etc. This seems like the most likely culprit for your issue. I will run a test build and revert that commit, if you'd like it to test.
As to cm-12, in general: I'm certainly interested in moving up, I just never really had a reason to spend any time on it.

PM me with your email. I'll shoot you the diff I made. The only reason I haven't posted it to github is that I wanna show the changes piecemeal instead of in one big diff. If you can call it big... it's really just 4 changes
Honestly, I'm not sure why they recommend against building on CM. Despite their documentation being utter crap, the build itself was easy once I figured out where the pieces were all supposed to go.
And yeah... CM 12.1 at the time you built things was an absolute mess. But the stuff in the official repo's is really rock solid now. Well, maybe not tonight, it seems there were a bunch of g2 changes and one in particular is gonna break the build for tonight

Tried the d800. Device went into fastboot mode, doesn't boot into recovery. Back to blastagators.

Github makes tracking all of this better. My suggestion is that you first create a "fork" of blastgator's repo on Github, and then "clone" the repo on your local machine. Apply your diffs to it. Commit and Push (to your fork). Then issue a pull request to Blastgator.

Thanks for your suggestion. I'm already talking to blastagator. The problem is that his current build isn't actually based on CM-12, we are working from different sources.

I have a few d800's, it's the device I use. Which bootloader are you on? JB? KK? LP?

I have the hybrid LP bootstack, from blastagator, which includes the KK aboot. Blastagator's twrp works without hitches

Are you talking about the "Bump LP" bootstack on this page?
Are you sure you downloaded the d800 recovery?
If you did, could you verify the md5 of the file you downloaded against the one I list in the OP?
Thanks.

I'm using cloudy 3.3 right now with xceeds kernel. After I got the fastboot mode, I could boot my system normally, if that helps. Rebooted again, got fastboot once more. Then booted system up again and installed autorec, which corrected the problem.

Well, messed around with this for a bit, decided to format /data to f2fs.
Dont do that. Not on this recovery. Formatting to f2fs takes forever (probably hangs entirely as i waited at least 10 minutes before rebooting)
Then noticed my /data wouldnt mount on reboot, causing my rom to bootloop and, even worse, the recovery to bootloop.
Due to a (probably unrelated) bug the lg flash tool didnt work either, so had to open up the device to boot in qhsusb mode and manually format /data to ext4.
This is the closest I've been to a complete brick on this phone since I got it.
Please update the OP to warn people about f2fs.
Nice work on the kernel update, but I personally am going to avoid this recovery until the above issue is solved

My problem is that it would not reboot nor power off while in this recovery. But it works by pressing power button.

It is ok now by removing the theme file ui.zip.

Click here to get to the new post where we'll keep updating this rom
What it is
It is an LineageOS 14.1 alpha build from official LineageOS sources devices trees and fresh caf 3.4 kernel port. This is not related anymore (2017-03-22) to the Sony Open Device Project (sonyxperiadev). They work on a different way and we are helping each others as often as possible.
This rom is worked to be as stable as possible to be used as a daily driver. There are no changes into LineageOS sources, manifest to build is attached in this post. The idea is to share this built with the community to improve this rom. If it is good enough, maybe, someday, get official again for our D6603. Thanks a lot to @tomascus who made this possible.

Who can use it
It is only for Z3 and UNLOCKED UPGRADED BOOTLOADERS
How to install
%= Only needed at first flash
% Update ROM to .291 with emma (or Flashtools)
% When install is done go into fastboot mode (plug usb + vol down key = blue led)
% Flash this TWRP (version 3.1.x) | If you are a Z3 Dual user, flash zip below before installing Z3 Dual version. / If you already are in .291 and have a working TWRP (modded rom/kernel/adv kernel) you can use the flashable zips below instead.
Shutdown the device
Unplug the usb cable
Maintain volume down & power until you see twrp splash screen
% Wipe system, cache and data
Install rom zip (+ % gapps if you need it)
Reboot
Rolling back to stock
Flash stock rom with emma or flashtool
If you flash with flashtool remember to check wipe apps_log and userdata partitions to get a clean install
What gapps to flash?
Use f-droid
You can flash any gapps you want, our partition is 2GB and rom is 700MB:
Code:
z3:/ # df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 2.4G 680M 1.7G 28% /system
Just take 'arm' and not 'arm64'
Gapps need to be flashed at first rom flash!

FAQ
How to post
I want to say thanks --> Thanks you. Gratitude is really important for us. Find some posts from us and hit thanks buttons. It will be most appreciated You can also use @tomascus donate link.
We are here into the dev thread, not user one. For now the rom is under development.
We wont talk here about not related to device problems (where is foo setting, how to flash bar).
Reports will simply be ignored if already answered.
Reports without logs or step to reproduce are useless (read contribute).
Substratum is officially not supported into Lineage.
You are welcome to post your review: what is working, not working, etc... Check into know issues before.
You are welcome to post your unusual and not supported use-cases (like: "I have only ipv6 at home and the RA doesn't work without IPv4")
You are welcome to report any typo, error, etc...
No variant are supported now. Only D6603. You want support for variant? Consider help on porting or a hardware donate.
My device is screwed and I need it for my job interview in 1h --> go to IRC (how to report problem, #3)
I want say how SODP is bad --> Read this and above.
This is not against you but try to keep thread clean as a dev reference. Thanks in advance.
What is not working
BT headset calls --> pending. Detailed post.
OTG --> 2017-04-16
Wifi auto connect (boot/deepsleep),
HW Encryption, --> 2017-04-16
Vibrator level
4k (unfixable without Sony camera app)
120 fps (pending)
Some volume loudness problem --> not reported
Microphone when ok google is installed (do not install gapps will fix! An app which constantly record your microphone is a malware!) -->Pending,
Slow charging,
Phone reboot at 3AM while plugged-in, --> Workaround disable "auto time" into settings.
NFC, --> topic
Wifi access point,
Adaptive brightness not good. --> Fixed by @xkeita
How to report problems
To report problems there are multiples ways, depend on each person. The How to contribute section provide information on the way to do and should be applicable to everyone. The How to get logs section is the final touch on how to report problems.
Thanks wanting reporting, as, for an early development rom, reports are a necessary step to move forward
Some examples:
I cannot record videos with open camera.

Is useless on a dev thread and you probably won't get an answer.
Just wanted to report that this ROM doesn't support my 128gb sandisk SD card..and gives a message, unsupported SD card and asks to format.. this is the only bug which prevents me from using this ROM.. however the same card works perfectly fine on all other ROMs like 7.1 CM or AICP ROM and also all lollipop ROMs and stock ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is better as there is explanation, context and cross rom tests. With log this report used to be perfect.
This guide is really detailed and explained everything about bug reports. (deserve all bug-report cases, not specially this thread or xda)
@steadfasterX write a good guide about IRC, here you can get quick support (like when your device is totally broken, etc...)
steadfasterX said:
You talked about using IRC to get support. What is this and how can I use that?
Meaning of IRC => Internet Relay Chat. A very good IRC client is this one here: hexchat <-- download it and read the quick intro to get started: Quick-Start
--> when asked if you want to join a channel type in "#LineageOS" and after connected you will be in.
If you do not want to install anything you can simply use the webchat instead directly over here: Webchat
Howto communicate? IRC means many people talking the same time and there are some goods and bads to know about using IRC.
So please read this mini and very quick overview (especially the good manners there): Good manners in IRC (matches for all OS not for fedora only)

How to get logs
Here you have some info about how collecting log. It is always better to include reference to the Installed version.
How to contribute
I have c knowledge:
All the sources to build this rom are public and are provided into the manifest, in the howto build section. It means all the repository are from LineageOS github, except those mentioned into this manifest. Depending on where you find the bug/improvement there is different way to contribute: gerrit, github PR, etc... Contact me to test with you patch as everyone can try and give feedbacks then join IRC to discuss the best way to merge.
Code is like hieroglyphs for me:
No worries you can contribute anyway! Install the rom, do tests, read failure logs, look at internet for potential fix/similar users experience, is the biggest part of debugging. Then collect all of this and write your results here.
Code is like hieroglyphs for me and logs are worst:
No problem, collects logs the right way if you can, explain how you encounter the problem: detailed step to reproduce could be enough: explain exactly how you encounter the error/problem, it should produce each time someone repeat your steps. Then we will be able to fix it.
Installed version
When reporting problems, specially for work in progress, it is good to provide the build version:
- 'uname -a' will give you the kernel version,
- 'getprop ro.cm.display.version' will give you the rom build version.
What is LineageOS
LineageOS is re-brand of CyanogenMOD. At the end of 2016 some bad things appends. Lineage is the same rom that CyanogenMOD so you can still dirty flash, etc... However as all *cyanogenmod.org services are down, OTA update will not work until you flash lineage one time.

Thanks for posting this rom. Thank you for your awesome developing.

Great work man!!! I hope you will continue you work on CyanogenMod for Xperia Z3!!! Thanks

great work and z3 compact?

What I don't understand is you seem to be having a whole bunch of issues with CM, whereas Rhine devices build perfectly well and all features work on them.
Have you tried building AOSP using Sony Xperia dev sources?
Back in the cm13.0 days, all I used to do to build cm13.0 was use all AOSP device trees and HALs and just make a cm.mk and include vendor/cm/common_phone.mk and everything used to work perfectly fine. Have you tried that?
Anyway, I love the way you develop and your determination. I hope to see you around here often!

Thanks a lot but your are in a position to know that all the dev had been done by others and I am only porting for now
The biggest source of issue building CM was the codename change. Into sonyxperiadev and all other close to OEM codename is 'leo'. Historically cm rename the device to 'z3' because they already have leo (HTC hd2, IIRC). Here start the pain: as you build too you know a *bunch* of files are codename dependent. Also I wonder if a codename check isn't present into blobs.
I haven't tried to build aosp for now as I didn't have enough free space and wont learn another toolchain. But I test carbon rom which is really efficient.
I tried what you said and give me the best result. Now my branch are ~even with sonyxperiadev. The problem is those version can't be pushed to official CM repo.
We are now experiencing problems on hardware accelerated display, like FPS drop, but I'm not able to fix this. So next step is deep sleep. Are you experiencing this too? Can I ask you some points about this please? Like enabling debugfs, collecting logs after tests etc...?

is the issue isolated to the Aries or do Leo users have this issue as well? Similar question to Honami board devices?

As far as I know, which is from my honami tests, deep sleep issue was present only in AOSP builds. A quick look at BBS revealed that it was the radio(ProxyServer) that kept the device awake, and using the phone without SIM would let it go into deep sleep.
When I got a chance to build and test cm14.1, there was no such issue with deep sleep.
In order to figure out whether we have the same issue, could you (or someone else in this thread) use BBS and tell me what the app says?
As for hardware issues: since you're using Sony HALs and device trees, I don't understand why you're having said issues.
AOSP doesnt need any new knowledge, in fact, it should be easier to build and test. If you can clear some space, I suggest you try it. It could rule out any issues with the device trees or Sony HALs, and then you can focus on finding the issue with CM.

As you can see there are no releases in the opening post. I guess that if you really want to help testing you have to ask nialyk for a flashable version. Be aware though that, as stated by the developer, the ROM has still many bugs that harm usability.

IDK what BBS is but the /sys/kernel/debug/wake_lock table is really instructive. From the early experiments we have two issues: like you ril is one of them, and usb is the second one. If your reboot the device in airplane mode without usb attached wake_locks are a bit better.
Yes building AOSP is a good idea but @accleg2011 never get it working so I really doubt I can. Device was really fine on CAF display, game were really smooth, menu too. With SODP display menu are ok now but game are laggy and I don't know how to check if they are software or accelerated rendered. I tried to mimic hammerhead config.mk (it is the same device than z3 except for camera) but it doesn't provide results. I'm almost sure it is another PEBKAC with a missing flag.
I have a bunch of log to analyse and will post my results a bit later. Thanks for your advice, maybe I simply should buy another ssd.
If you have some time to waste, can you try frozen bubble on your device with SODP display, please? When balls pop, it is the most GPU intensive rendering. Is it laggy for you too? (from what I see ~5FPS)

Pardon my clumsy. I quote you here because thinking that cm can provide useful results for your question as we are using the same devices trees and blobs. Won't do it again.

Do you take a look at Myself5 repos ? You can ask him a CarbonRom test but his repo where very helpful for leo. Also, maybe you can reuse mine and we can concentrate our efforts. I try to be as close as possible to SonyCM ones.
I will update the OP with the build instructions when XDA will work.

2016-11-28 release
Rom link added.
I'm currently uploading screenshots.
A bunch of peripherals are broken. Since I test this PR bluetooth is broken.
Hardware accelerated part are missing or broken.
Camera is partially working, switching to video mode crash camera app.
Deep sleep still not working.
Gps seems to be broken too.
Don't forget we are into a dev thread please, so post comments with logs, faulty line or patches. Thanks.
This rom is not intended to be used as a daily driver and is unstable!

cm14.1 wowww :good:

After a total mess-up with bluetooth, a full rebuild make it ~work again (still some crash).
And 3D apps seems to be working too.
Can you confirm/infirm difference please?

INTRODUCTION
This is a personal LineageOS build, based upon 14.1. I pull in changes as I see them, and sometimes this breaks things. I will upload builds as I build them, as long as they pass brief personal testing (eg they boot)
Posting this as a seperate thread mainly because it may take a different direction to others, and is not meant to just be a LOS nightly, I will be pulling changes at my discretion, this ROM is being built by me, for me, and I just happen to be sharing it.
Feel free to contribute, recommendations and (new) bug reports are always very welcome.

SPECIAL FEATURES
At the moment this may seem a little bland, but the point is not to become a new big rom, but simply to be a LineageOS based rom with the latest little addons, which at the moment include:
@tabp0le Kernel built with rom (Source)
FULL Energy Aware Scheduler support
FULL ROOTLESS Substratum theme engine support with ThemeInterfacer and OMS7
Substratum app pre-included with app store updates
SU_ENABLED by default (builtin root manager from CyanogenMod)
FULLY compatible with both firmwares (MM and N)
Supports F2FS
SELinux ENFORCING
ForceEncrypt DISABLED
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
INSTRUCTIONS
Download the rom, check the hash and flash it and ARM64 7.1 GAPPS (Dynamic/Beansgapps recommended) through TWRP.
For updates, dirty flash of ROM only should do, if you have played around with system apps then perhaps clean the dalvik and cache, just to be safe.

I shall give this a try. Thanks @ibrokemypie!

Yup me too, I will also try it. I tested the RR Android N this morning with ZERO issues coming from BadBoys (Sprint HTC 10). I remained on the MM kernel so even TWRP worked with no issues. VERY excited and glad to see N is coming to the HTC 10!

Thanks for contributing! I wish I had the knowledge to contribute .

This is amazing! EVERYTHING works (except GPS), I did a GPS lock in the Sense OS but still cannot see the satellites but this is OK, I know it will come in time! I am coming from Sprint HTC 10 (BadBoys/official), wiped everything full/clean and installed this with PICO GAPPs, data works, TXT/MMS works, cellular works, no issues with anything except GPS. VERY WELL DONE! Speed test shows BLAZING LTE so I know its seeing the basebands correctly, etc., so all is good from my side, very happy! FINALLY a working N AOSP for my Sprint HTC!!

Nope, stayed with MM, and I had speaker, no issues with sound, maybe I am lucky, IDK but TWRP worked, and everything I need from my daily driver except GPS.

Hello, the codename "pme" which version of HTC 10 corresponds?
All these.. perfume_uhl, perfume_whl and perfume_ul?! Thanks!

Edit: only quoted you because the post I was replying to got erased.
Thanks for following rules. Sorry if I'm breaking them.
BUT
As far as I'm concerned flaming should be done if source is not public on github and someone hacked your private github account. But sharing is caring
And It benefits us all.
I didn't Flame when I asked in a thread if anybody was working on cm-14.1 and when I started work on it I didn't even write what the commit was that I added but somehow cm-14.1 still came and all the work I done was used. IT REALLY WASNT USED. as there is plenty of github sources to give ideas and plenty of code changes. We as developers need more developers as the code game is big. If someone is contributing to a worthy cause let them. Do any of you developers out there like having sleepless nights trying to figure out code? I don't think so. And me I don't know **** but I can figure it out hahahaha.
This post is just a general post so report me but let people learn dammit. And a guide doesn't teach you how to fix building errors so guides don't help. Going through code of familiar devices does.

Hey, I didnt see your post from before, this whole thing, I really didn't mean to offend or steal, I just wanted to make the progress accessible to people who dont have the time or resources to build the code themselves, even if it is mostly just following a guide. Beside from that, the point of open source is for people to take something and make it do what they want, without restrictions, and to be able to give and take if they can. I am not simply taking the work of others and packaging it as my own, I am trying to make contributions, even if I am not a super great programmer like @crpalmer, who is putting together the pieces to make this work for us all. I am not taking the work of others and claiming ti was mine. That was not my intention at all and I am sorry it may have seemed as such.

Hey, about to start properly looking into GPS as I was able to repro the problem, however GPS satellites are being detected, and certain bits are working, so I feel fixing it should be within my capabilities, however for the moment I am working on including theming through Substratum, with full implementation with the inclusion of Masquerade backend (OMS) which should be build ready in a little while.

Hey @ibrokemypie,
Out of curiosity, are you duel booting Linux, using a VM Linux environment or just generally using Linux as your OS and building Cyanogenmod from there? Also how much space have you got allocated for building Cyanogenmod. I'm trying to figure out if I have the capability to do it on my MacBook Pro if I clear out some space.

That's awesome, I really appreciate it! This is the only thing keeping me from fully committing to this as my daily runner. I use GPS pretty much every day so I need it. I've always ran with AOSP on all of my androids and this is usually an issue across the board in the initial releases so I get it and appreciate your hard work!

Well, initially I tried just building on my macbook, but ran out of space verrrry quickly. Do not recommend even trying unless you have a MINIMUM of 150gb that you can dedicate it, wasted a whole two days with this.
Tried building on a ****ty laptop too, but discovered that you really can't build at all unless you also have at the very least 8gb of ram, so ended up taking the drive out of that and sticking it in my gaming rig with 16gb ram.
Building on an arch linux install, mostly just via ssh with a tmux session to reduce overhead.

hey, just as a test, could you try setting your location to device only, open up google maps and tap the little icon to go to your location? I think it will ask you to allow it access to enable wifi/cell location, so deny that and tap it again, and you should see your location as a grey dot. If this works, can you then tap it once more, and take your device somewhere? There is a chance gps is wokring after all, just not reporting itself as suck to anything...

Yeah I think it's gonna be a no go for me then as my MacBook Pro only has 256gb in total and im currently using 60gb for Windows 10.
If I were to get a build PC together, what components are most required for building Android? After having at least 8gb of ram, is it all processor or a mix of processor and gpu?
Trying to think if I can make an Intel NUC type PC with the built in graphics card or if I need to be getting discrete graphics card as well.

What is XOSP?
XOSP is an after-market firmware based on CodeAuroraSources (CAF) destinated for a wide range of Android phones. The name stands for the Xperia Open Source Project and the project was initially created by @nilac for the Galaxy S+ (his old device) years ago when back then the ROM was called S+ Reborn. The vision was to create a minimal bloat free ROM which included Sony Xperia specific apps and various tweaks users would expect from a custom ROM.
S+ Reborn became a success and was eventually ported to different devices so from there it was rebranded to XOSP. Calin worked on the project for 2 years always trying to improve it. Eventually, Because of the fact Lollipop was buggy on his Galaxy S+, he decided to take a break from development until he got his hands on the Zenfone 2 in 2015 and from then he started again the development of XOSP and continued it ever since.
How do we release updates?
We release new updates for our Official devices each week by providing Delta updates to the users,so maintainers of the other devices can do the same as well if they want to keep up with the changes. We will make full zip releases only once a month except special cases like for example XOSPDelta is not working or something like it.
You can find all the included features right:

You can find the list of current issues in the ROM right:

for screenshots, maybe op will upload it later or you can try it by yourself. for Dual SIM it's depend only from dual sim user, are you know that OP is dual or single sim user? I mean if OP is single sim, then i think he can't predict this will work or not on dual sim. Since our device is already long leave from device maintainer, so you need to test it by yourself and following the procedure and i think this ROM is fully based on AOSP not lineage, so patch for dual sim will work if OP used blobs from our device maintainer. But i don't know from TheMuppets blobs.
So, please try it before you asked many question here. If you've problem, some member or OP itself will try to solve it. And for stability, you can see status of this ROM. Alpha,Beta or Stable, so please read whole thread and check main post before comment or post thread.

@pa1 hack1 I have provided screenshots. If anybody has any other questions please feel free. And @Nicklas Van Dam Regarding dual sim can we help op by providing some logs or anything?

Thank you developers, battery drain is very fast compared to original build, Microphone problem during call also persists

what you're mean by original build? stock rom by sony or custom lineage or aosp nougat? if you're compare it from stock ROM then you're not think about upgrading os without upgrading your current battery. And battery life itself can't survive or give same result in a times, because battery degradation . Microphone problem maybe from XOSP build, you can provide logcat when you receive a call and give that log to OP.
And please be polite on this forum, give a log or explain problem with clear explanation is needed here if you're new or not really understand about your current problem.
I don't know why, but some of new member on here not can't give clear detail about problem and said worse for some thread.

you can help by provide logcat, i think KMSG or logcat. for kmsg or logcat, you can create easy from kernel adiutor app and go to settings or advance menu and choose create logcat,KSMG or DMESG if developers need it.
And maybe you can send PM to dev about your current problem if that problem is critical, i'm still search about this current problem too. But i'm not sure about it, since i don't have dual sim device.

[/COLOR]Well I confirmed with other users and it seems like there is not a problem with dual sim patch. patch works fine but problem is maybe the procedure I follow or something else. Need to find out that.

Yes, Dual SIM is working fine.
In SIM 1 - 2G is working fine.
In SIM 2 - Both 2G and 3G are working fine.
For proof, you can check the screenshots here.
Make sure to flash the patch here if you are a dual sim user.

Battery life is fine for me on this ROM. Check your battery stats and use the in-built Battery Adviser to check what's the issue. And there is no microphone problem during call, it is working fine, I tested it out myself.

Oh okay, that's good. so patch for dual sim isn't have problem? with connectivity or internet data connectivity like 2G or 3G connection for both sim?

Can someone tell me what camera app it has? And does Radio FM works??

Dual sim working (Reinsert sim and try)
Usb data transfer not working
External storage selection not working in shareit app
Most stable ROM than any other
Battery drains faster
Very smooth and recommended to all xmd users.
Some features not included in this rom compared to lineage and cyanogenMod
Thank you very much developers

Does it uses xperia themes or hav to use substratum?

for camera, i think stock camera will work for both feature (camera and camcorder). But if camcorder (video recording) not work, then you can try another camera app from third party. Like google camera or other, but for google camera. Our device only can use old google camera, i think v2 for compatibility issue with new google camera.
and for radio itself, i don't know it work or not. i'm test it, but only can find a radio station but sound isn't out. I think that from my mod, and just ignore that. You need to test radio by yourself

@rez3vil FM is working fine. And dual sim is also working fine now. Actually I was using previous month's gapps. That's why dual sim was giving me problems.

After using this ROM for 3 days, mobile restarts 2 or 3 times a day, whenever i unlock screen, it strucks and automatically boots up. I am unable to take bug report, i think bug reporting itself a bug. Before testing the mobile in all aspects, dont show ROM as stable,
Battery remains at 57% for around 1 hr and suddenly switches off showing 0%.

I m not experiencing any battery bug. Battery life is similar to stock. Yeah device do get hang sometimes and have to restart, but that only when I am using very high memory consumption apps like snapchat, which is normal I think.

AICP
Android Ice Cold Project
AICP is known by everyone as the "Ice Cold Project" that started on a Desire HD years ago (2012) and since then has evolved into a mature ROM with the BEST community that you can find!!!
Until Lollipop, the Rom has always been based on AOKP. Unfortunately, since AOKP stopped development (but made a comeback later), we changed our base to CM.
With the re-brand of CM to LineageOS (LAOS) we are now LAOS based with some tweaks from AOSP.
If there are any bugs, either we will sort them out or the LAOS team will if it concerns their code base. This rom isn't LAOS supported, so no need to report errors/bugs to them!!
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you. Hard & a lot.

You tell...
The ROM should contain everything you need to enjoy Android Oreo. You don't need to install any Add-on's, simply download the latest ROM, GApps, flash it and go!
If you want the device to run the ROM "rooted", you can flash a root solution of your choice after the ROM Zipfile.
It is STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing and please avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup as this can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug.
If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience any strange behavior.
How to flash:
(Again: Don't do it if you don't know it!)
1. Download the ROM and GApps and transfer them to your device.
2. Boot to recovery (TWRP recommended).
3. Wipe the System, Cache, Data and ART/Dalvik cache.
4. Flash the ROM Zipfile.
5. Flash the GApps (optional, needed for e.g. Google Playstore to work).
6. Flash the root solution of your choice (optional).
7. Reboot your device.
The ROM has GApps persistence in between dirty flashes, so you only have to flash them once!
The root solution should be flashed together with every OTA update (= ROM Update)
Currently Supported Root Solutions:
Magisk stable
Magisk versions higher than 14.0 doesn't require flash on every dirty flash depending on the deivce, some devices need you to flash it every time, unless your maintainer says otherwise it should be fine
PREREQUISITE FOR OTA:
To be able to flash using the built-in OTA app, TWRP recovery is needed.
You can still use the LAOS recovery and OTA app, but you will need to download the zip file and flash it manually from within your recovery. The Zipfile gets saved in the "aicp_ota" folder on your internal storage.
Please be sure that you are on the latest TWRP recovery. Keep in mind that this could also be an unofficial version!

Nice to see AICP again. Downloading now.

Well, i have been test driving this ROM for almost 2 full days. Must say very snappy and smooth so far. Have not had time to test everything but i am making my way through it. So far NO major issues which i have found. Camera, sensors, wifi, bt, all working as they should. Battery seems decent so far with continued use and reboots. No FC's on anything. All AICP extras are working as they should. Will be trying for another day then make the move to my DD.
AND YES EVERYONE.....QC IS WORKING. I AM GETTING AROUND 2400mA DURING CHARGING. NICE TO SEE>>>>>
Nice job SpiritCroc. :good::good:

@smoschi,
yes auto-rotate is working fine for me. I have to say this is the smoothest working ROM i have tried in a while...tablet or phone. Very smooth and battery is great for me and i play alot of heavy graphics gaming on my tab i.e War Robots & Asphalt 8.
It is my daily driver for mt CW Tablet. It is well worth trying......

I had this problem on LOS 8.1, this solution sorted this problem for me.
Move this file (vendor/etc/sensor_def_qcomdev.conf) to system/etc and test Sensors again after a reboot.

D**n, I finally find out an Oreo ROM with working QC but my windy just "dead". I let it drain almost 2 days, the good news is when plugged, the LED is now blinking red again, I hope after totally drained out, it will able to recharge and power on.
Thank for your quickly reviews and confirmation on QC, @_Sherrif
Btw, do you have any problems with the annoying system notifications (external sd card....)?
Edit: my bad, many thank @SpiritCroc for all of your hard work to keep supporting castor/windy

Did you tap the SDCARD in the notification? It should allow you to set up as portable, name of storage may be wrong, but the top selection, then after selecting it should accept your card.
NOW, when my ex-sdcard was formatted as "EXT4", sometimes i would have problems getting the new ROM to accept my sdcard. The only way to get the new ROM to accept would be a full format of the exsdard. I was not going to do this for every new ROM install just like most of us.
Since i have re-formatted my ex-sdcard to "vfat" or fat32. Now i never have any problems regardless of the ROM i choose. If you decide to re-format of course be sure to back it up first, but that should be a gime. FYI - I have no issues running my exsd as VFAT formatted, actually it is smoother IMHO.
Hope this helps...

Thanks for your reply.
In my cases, I haven't tried to format external sd card to other format yet. The problem I meant is: after the first time I config my ext sd card (after finished set up new ROM), there's a system notification about a new card, and it'll be there no matter what I do.
My windy still blinking red when plugged in, may be tomorrow it will drain out to zero, then I will recharge it and try to re-format my card with this ROM and see what happens.

Are u able to use and access your ex-sdcard? IF not, the system is not recognizing it for what ever reason. Maybe someone more versed can help with this issue. If you do decide to format the sdcard try vfat. I have been very happy with it so far and have been using for 7-8 months now. No storage issues or nandroid backup issues with the vfat format. Transfer rates seem a bit slower but i can live with that.
For the battery. Search the XDA forums and find the info to calibrate / re-calibrate your battery. Can't remember exactly what to do, but i did it with my HTC phone and it fixed my battery problem with not showing levels correctly. Maybe this will help with your battery issue as well.
From what i can remember you need to remove a file from a system folder, do a full charge with the tab off, etc. It may or may not help, but worth a try for sure.
I know it is not the answer you needed but it may help your battery situation. I

Thanks for your kindness, @_Sherrif
I did some research and realized a lot of other users had the same symthomp, so I think the problem isn't caused by battery but the tablet itself.
My windy finally drained out, after 1h recharged, I managed to boot into recovery and make a clean flash of AICP.
At first glance, everything such as bluetooth, wifi, gps, audio, touchscreen... are as smooth as you reviewed. The annoying notification doesn't exist in this ROM.
I was tested the QC but I only get 1200mA with a 3rd party QC3.0 charger, the original Sony charger is not at my office, I'll check it whe I'm home.

i luv this rom best ever i got! big thanks

Actually Carbon ROM should have working QC as well, since I'm following their device tree and have QC from them

I personally don't accept donations right now (makes me feel more free to not fix bugs/implement user requests when I'm busy otherwise), but I'm happy about donations to AICP, since this helps my team to cover server costs / pay less out of their own pockets. Great to hear you like AICP!

I am having no issues with PlayStore downloading. I use GZR-Gapps ZERO and never have any issues. Very small Gapps package with just the bare bones of Google stuff. Like 60mb or so. If you want to try do a search on AFH for "GZR-Gapps" then select the flavor of your choice, but not arm64, for our device.
I do not format in TWRP, my exsd anyway. I use a partition manager, Mini-Partition Tool to format my sdcard cards and thumb drives and Hard Disks. Google for it. Very nice program. to use vfat format the card as fat32.
NOTE* You do not need Mini-Tool to do this, a quick format in windows with fat32 should work fine. Be sure to remove the sdcard from the device and place in either the s slot or a reader. Copy all of your data to a safe location, takes a while, format...reload the info to the newly formatted card and re-insert.
IMHO, I don't think the sdcard format will solve the Play problem though, but it may.
Hope this helps....

I can confirm QC is not working with Carbon ROM, both official and rcstar's test builds . I'm working in a cellphone accessory chain stores so I tested it with several QC certified chargers: Anker, Aukey, Promate, Belkin.... and none of them worked. In my last test, QC in your build is working with a Promate QC3.0 charger @5V/~2.8A (FYI I came to your build directly from latest Carbon test build). Battery life seems to be better than Carbon with same scenario (I got about 8h onscreen).
The only problem I've got is sometimes SystemUI crashed but I think it caused by myself. Everything else is working flawlessly.:good:

Just pop in herevto say that everything is working well. Good job here

seriously QC is working
Finally, custom ROM with working quickcharge! Trust me, I tried them all, QC not working for me anywhere except original SONY ROM (I have original SONY QC charger)! So this is my new daily driver, and so far everything working as expected. Good job, thanx...

Hi, good work with the ROM... I am using the test ROM since I have an SGP521 (Xperia tablet Z2 LTE).
Few things I notice:
1) Netflix cannot be installed properly
2) There is no support for IR port
3) There are not the sony mini apps anymore, expecially the IR remote app which I find very useful
4) Magisk get stopped time to time
When do you plan a stable release for the SGP521?
Regards
Michael

1) Netflix might have problems because of custom ROMs or root I think
2) Sony's IR solution on z2 tablet is proprietary and not so easy to get to work on custom ROMs unfortunately
3) Yeah it's not stock ROM
4) Probably Magisk related and not ROM related
I'm planning on starting official builds for castor (LTE) soon, just waiting for some confirmation that everything (especially mobile network related, due to differences castor/castor_windy) is working fine

Many thanks for your reply... Looking forward to..
