I think I fixed the sound, just busy doing another build to test a few more things...

I'm struggling though to get the sim to work :crying: Also trying to fix wifi but I'm crossing fingers that the build I'm doing at the moment fixes that :fingers-crossed:

By the way, I was wrong previously about a few things, the data partition is actually displaying 100% correct and it doesn't reset after each boot. However, this was happening to me after I flashed a boot.img I compiled, I think maybe because I used a stock ramdisk :confused: Im just guessing but I don't know why. The kernel it builds with works just fine. If the next build is ok, I will post my device config files for others to play around with...

to be able to build kernel you need

cd build && git cherry-pick 612e2cd0e8c79bc6ab46d13cd96c01d1be382139 && cd ..

Are camera, modem and other stuff, which does not work, planned to get fixed will they remain broken?
[Xperia Z1 General] mikereidis:
Thank you. :)

Can we please get this set in the defconfig files for devices with Qualcomm FM/combo chips, like Z and Z1 ?

CONFIG_RADIO_IRIS_TRANSPORT=m

Some of us wish to activate the FM radio and the radio iris transport driver is required for that. The main iris driver itself (CONFIG_RADIO_IRIS=y) is only half of the solution and it's silly to enable only one (despite many kernels doing so).

[Xperia Z1 General] :
Hey [MENTION=5456406]CoolDevelopment[/MENTION],

Would this help you further? ;)

https://github.com/oshmoun/aosp_device_sony_amami

I was able to successfully build and boot, after some hacks in the kernel.

You'll also need the attached zip file. You should extract it in vendor/sony/amami

With these two you should get a booting build, but almost nothing works (NFC does work though :D)

Oh and here's the kernel: https://github.com/oshmoun/kernel

and the hack: https://github.com/oshmoun/kernel/commit/2a4ab37c901e29a8b80de5b2942ef4595bb69043

I'm not sure the same method will work on branch "LNX.LA.3.5.2.2-03010-8x74.0" because drivers/video/msm/mdss is updated even further.

Like jerpelea said, we need to update this file to match the new mdss driver:

arch/arm/boot/dts/dsi-panel-amami.dtsi

if you somehow know what the correct values are, then we will be on the same level as Honami, I think!

Some screenshots:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwoUbVVK7GAyRnNUYWpVNG5aWnc/view?usp=sharing

hope that helps ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] CoolDevelopment:
thanks for the vendor files :)

I already built aosp/branch but I used honami's vendor files I got into a bootloop. I used the kernel from stockrom. I will try to update this file after I got it booting with stock kernel
[Xperia Z1 General] :
im not sure if the vendor files are really 100% correct (sensors and sound don't work)

only the modules (lib/modules) function correctly, I think ;)

can you explain though why you want to make stock kernel run aosp? is there a reason for not using the unified kernel ?

Edit: I guess we need a thread on amami sub-forum for this, we highjacked this thread enough :p
[Xperia Z1 General] CoolDevelopment:
because then I don't need to use the mdss-panel driver hack
[Xperia Z1 General] NanoSurfer:
So, what do i need to do to build the radio??? Ive been searching and trying but struggling to figure it out. It has to do with the ril but how do you implement it??? I wish fxpblog had their sources on github because maybe we could all contribute to a better aosp for this device. Im still very much a noobie in this area but im really keen to learn more. I cant learn without any help whatsover anywhere on the net! Ive searched a lot but cant find a definitive guide. If i can get a build working with radio (ie sim card and baseband) i would be more encouraged to dive deeper in this, but right now i feel demotivated. Ive tried to figure out how cm do it, but its all rather confusing to see exactly where the radio is implemeted!

It's because the developers of Whatsapp didn't add tablets to the list of compatible devices on Google Play.

Fortunately, they also have the apk for download on the official website: http://www.whatsapp.com/android/current/WhatsApp.apk

Just save it to your device, make sure you enable 'Unknown Sources' in settings > security and run the .apk like any file from a file explorer.

Most other apps that are incompatible are either Nvidia-specific apps or they don't have resources for 2K resolutions and thus come back as incompatible. For the latter category you can either sideload them from another device, or procure the .apk via an alternate method. Nvidia-specific apps won't run because they lack the required hardware.

Hi everybody,

My Hermes stopt finding websites this morning. It says it's connected to the internet. I called my provider to ask if the network had issues, but it didn't. I thought it might be some corrupt drivers in the OS. So I checked my registry with memmaid. It said that a registry key pointing at "sssmxr.dll" was useless and could be deleted safely. I didn't do that, but tried to find the file on my phone and the internet, but I couldn't find it.

I hard resetted my Hermes, didn't work.

Anybody?

Is it possible to downgrade to 4.3 without unlocking the bootloader?

I really need root but I can't unlock the bootloader since I need the warranty too.

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF701] royredman:
Hi, I could be wrong, but I believe even with having an unlocked bootloader, you wont be able to downgrade to 4.3. You should however be able to root once you unlock your bootloader. Sadly, I believe there is no method currently of rooting your tablet without unlocking it. What do you need root for?
[Asus Transformer TF701] dape16:
Thanks for your answer, that's what I thought. I did find a guide for downgrading to 4.3, but it seems that it's only working with a unlocked bootloader.

* Camera is Broken

* No phone service

mcqcdtbootimg :(

I've been trying to build the ROM from sources. Downloaded everything required and started to compile.

I face a problem while making the boot.img . I understand we need to use mkqcdtbootimg instead of just mkbootimg. I downloaded the sources of mkqcdtbootimg from Sony's git repo and places it under /source/system/extras. Even after doing those steps I seem to face a problem. Am I doing something wrong ? I'm still a newbie in ROM development. Any help will be highly appreciated :)
[Xperia Z2 General] Myself5:
You need to place this source into external/mkqcdtbootimg of your source code and then compile it again.
[Xperia Z2 General] tejaswi.rohit:
Ah! Thanks :D Will do that. In the mean time I compiled it separately and replaced mkbootimg with it :P

P.S. If someone is facing trouble to compile mkqcdtbootimg make sure you have all your ssl libraries installed and linked properly in Ubuntu. I had to install this libssl-dev to get it to compile there was some linker issue without it in 14.04.
[Xperia Z2 General] Gen1usw0rk:
Hi,

Actually you have to download it to system/core folder not system/extra..

Hope that works for you :)

lol late one...
[Xperia Z2 General] tejaswi.rohit:
I compiled the ROM successfully and I'm facing the same problems as you're. I didn't use Linaro tool chain. I guess it has something to do with the device drivers. Hope we get them fixed soon. The ROM is fluid though :D
[Xperia Z2 General] deepongi:
it has to do with the blobs.... sony released sources for 4.4.2_r2... and the binaries also for 4.4.2, but AOSP is on version 4.4.4_r2 ... blobs are not compatible with current AOSP version...

so if you wanna build pure AOSP for sirius for ex (this device hasn’t even received 4.4.4 official), you have to compile 4.4.2, not 4.4.4 ..

regards
[Xperia Z2 General] tejaswi.rohit:
That totally makes sense. I shall switch my branch and try to compile again . Thanks :)

Update:

Downloaded 4.4.2 source and compiled the ROM again. The issues remain the same. I think the device drivers in the kernel need to be set right.

My battery life is crap. I replaced the original 2 year old battery a few weeks ago, and still no improvements. I am using SIMPLEAOSP right now, with the default kernel it comes with.

I have to get something different. I am getting like 12 hours of mild usage before I need to find a wall. That is unacceptable. I have done all of the battery tweaks I can do within 4.4.4 and still keep most of my daily functionality (disabling NFC, low accuracy GPS, etc).

What would you guys recommend I try. I am tempted to just hold out until L is released, but I cannot keep living like this (firstworldproblems). I was just going to buy a N6, but it is WAY too big and WAY too expensive.

I do use google now, but I actually like it. But that hasn't changed, and my battery life has.

I am hoping that wakelock + greenify can figure it out, because after replacing the battery I have had ZERO improvement. Which leads me to think it is ROM/app related.

Today I flashed a new ROM (purity) and threw franco's kernel on. The testing will resume.

One a more interesting note, today during my battery life searches I ran upon a thread about T-mobile using significantly less battery during the day, compared to AT&T. http://blog.laptopmag.com/tmobile-phones-longer-battery-life

I did recently go from the $30 T-mobile plan the a $45 straight talk plan using AT&T. I wonder if that is making an impact as well.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgbotoe:
You have to understand nexus devices, in all honesty, do not need 3gb of rams. THeir resources are not as demanding as Samsung, LG individuals because they are not optimized. Why I was surprise nexus 6 had 3gb...also, it got a 64bit so in all honesty, it will do just fine with 2gb and may potentially have left overs after you install every app you want to install. SO end of it all, you will have wasted Ram..
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AarSyl:
Completely agree with you. 3gb is more of a selling point for now. Granted, it will make the Nexus 6 more "future-proof," but that will not matter any time soon. I still cannot consume all of my Nexus 7.2's 2gb of RAM because of the task killer anyway.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Question is why would the average consumer (which represent 99% of potential buyers) need 3 GB of ram?

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AarSyl:
I think that you meant the Nexus 6, and I think that it is just a selling point. Other phones are going to start getting 3gb of ram as well.

Most customers (including some at XDA) only look at specs and numbers. Some like to have it just to say that they have it for bragging rights. 3GB's of ram is the same as overclocking new devices. The question is...what for?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khaon:
Indeed you don't need more ram for now epically if some amount of the memory is allocated for the gpu.

Edit

I just took a look at the adreno 420 architecture. It seems it will use part of the system memory for some operations. That's why I guess you need more system ram.

If someone could confirm my saying, it would be nice
