supports M5 kernel? does it use a CM/CM based kernel?

On the M5 kernel info page it says it will work with carbon or liquid rom as it uses CM kernel and i couldn't find it in the first post of AICP if its uses a CM kernel so i want to ask before flashing the kernel if it will support it or will i go in bootloop?

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

sorry if i misunderstood but why do the v7.0 download files say unofficial builds? no OTAs? :(
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alx31:
becuz at beginning i made this by myself and aicp team added it to official builds...

check there and grab your build

And aicp is a aosp/cm/aokp rom not stock based.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techtician:
sweet! so that means i can flash the m5 kernel on this rom right? :D because i flashed doomkernel on stock 4.4.4 recently but it turns out it was only compatible with 4.4.2 so i got a bootloop....
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alx31:
bro i have no clue about that m5 kernel, and i have no time to waste to check if its compatible...if m5 op's states its for stock or stock based roms then u can't flash it over aicp BUT if it states its for cm / cm based roms then go ahead...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrickt1220:
Alrighty so for the past 24 hrs i have been having trouble with my nexus 7(2013). I flashed Android L a couple days ago, after realizing i cant stand it, i flashed C-Rom (4.4.4 kitkat). Now whenever i go to chrome to download a file, i Get "No Sd Card Detected". I obviously have an Sd card cause i can install apps from the google play store. So now what do i do? :confused: I have never had a problem like this before and Im clueless on how to approach this. Thanks in advance!

Hey!

since i updated my blinkfeed by accident the folder preview icons are not centered anymore and they are smaller, too. Is there any way to uninstall the latest update or reinstall an older update or any other solution?

Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2103ehleec:
If you go into app list and find blinkfeed. After you tap it, you should see uninstall updates. Methinks the folks over at HTC are working on making the icons center again.

Greets.

Where or how can I get the radio rom 1.20.00.11.

There are Roms with it, but they are full roms. I only need the radio rom part.

Also, is the radio rom 1.20.00.11 equal to all the phones sold? Or is it brand specific?

Thanks.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Des:
use NBHextract.exe to split full nbh rom to nb files. radio part would be called 05_GSM.nb . It can be flashed either with MFG bootloader or with SSPL after converting it back to nbf (containing radio only) with nbhgen. Search will help you in obtaining this tools.

They are supposed to be. But I've got some doubts 'bout it recently (some things yet need to be researched): so be extreme carefull dealing with SoftBank devices or CHT ROMz.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] neofix:
So this will work if I just want to get the GPS, and not alter everything else?(language, os, settings, etc?)
[P3600 Software Upgrading] drewy:
and will this method leave the bootloader at the original 1.05 ?

Problem with connecting to a VPN

Hey Vincom,

Long time lurker here but just recently registered. I finally decided to root my phone, after lots of reading I decided to give this one a try. I got it working great first try, wish I had rooted years ago. I cant thank you enough, I installed as per your instructions and phone is now blazing fast. One thing though, I've reinstalled most of my favorite apps. I need to run a vpn in order to run Pandora in my country. The 2 I use are Hideninja and mainly SuperVPN. HideNinja won't connect and won't give me any error messages. SuperVPN on the other hand gives me a message of "your system do not support vpn". Do I need to install something else on my phone in order to make these work?

Again thx for your work and to anyone else who might be able to help me with this issue.

Google Maps

Hey yall,

My Google maps is bnot working properly. I am able to see my gps location but it does not track my movements while I drive. It just stays at the gos coordinates I start at. Any ideas?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] MattJaO3D:
Awesome, big thanks, will test tomorrow dude, this is looking promising :)
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] adwinp:
You need the proper libs & HAL for GPS.

Take a look at other repos for 4.4 like CM/Vanir, for example:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_shinano-common/tree/cm-12.0/gps

As for the camera, are permissions are correctly set in /dev/* ?

Is SELinux correctly set up?

Are you using the correct build definitions in BoardConfig*?

Again, a good reference: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_shinano-common/blob/cm-11.0/BoardConfigCommon.mk

But be sure to use the CodeAurora hardware repos
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] krabappel2548:
Yeah, I haven't worked on GPS and camera yet :p was trying to fix other bugs first :)

Just flashed in UK to D6503

Hello, I have just flashed your ROM and I can confirm that calls and other SIM functions are NOT working.

I am on 02-UK, and the signal bar shows nothing, and if I try dial a number it gives me a no SIM error
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] XeKToReX:
This is great, glad to see some talented dev's getting into building this stuff.

Also liking the fact that you've managed to build for almost all devices, really cool.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] adyscorpius:
Looks like I would try this with a bluetooth headset and see if calling works then.. Thanks so much for the work!!
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] stanley08:
Keep doing ur GREAT work. i will donate to this project. Cheers.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] GeekyAndroid:
I am truly impressed by how far this have gone, flashing and testing now !

krabappel2548 ... i have to thank you!

i follow your threads on Z1 and Z2 becauae i own a Z1 and my girlfriend owns a Z2 ... i'm very exited what an amazing job you did!

i will spend 10€ exactly the moment your rom works as a daily base (calls and mobile data working)

It's amazing! thank you!

Sadly, not much works as advertised.

Certainly not calling (it didn't even ask me for my SIM PIN), sound wasn't working at all, I didn't get to tryin Bluetooth. I had to flash back to my current WIP...

Maybe if we worked together to get this m-f up and running?

Have to leave for work now.. TTYL
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] krabappel2548:
Sure no problem :)

Weird sound doesn't work at all. Anyway you can add me on hangouts. Sent me a pm for email.

My phone is D6502, The sim card is not detecting.

Is there any modem files or something that needed to be flashed?

And also, wifi is not working, modem issue?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] adyscorpius:
its already a known issue! Wifi not working cuz you flashed 6502 files. Wait for it to start working.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Stickrundude:
Aight , I will wait .

Update coming tonight which should have modem etc working. Anyway I'm working together with other devs now :)
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] GeekyAndroid:
So I almost bricked my device doing this :)

However, I understand OP stated that I should not do this if I do not know what I'm doing. But I am willing to take the chances... If I get the appropriate help.

Now my phone is back on the latest Stock 4.4.4 23.0.1.A.0.167 build. Should I go to custom rom and upgrade to Lollipop from there or is there a way to do it from Stock? (no recovery installed)

It might be quite obvious that I should do it from a Custom Rom, but I have erased System, Boot, Cache and recovery through fastboot and when I flashed it again, boot loops with "Sony" only showing. Isn't a clean installtion (like I did) better than Custom Rom+Recovery?

Any help is appreciated.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] dkionline:
Trough flashtool, but that will wipe your internal SD.

Is the kernel for this rom Linux 3.10 or 3.4.10?

I know there is some sort of EMMC or rngd bug in older linux kernels that caused some huge lag in older devices
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Hussainally:
I am on 4.4.2 stock .314 rom unlocked bootloader, just so I am ready for this what do I need to do to flash this successfully?
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Envious_Data:
1. Ensure bl is unlocked

~wipe data and cache

2. Use flashtool (in fastboot) to flash kernel and file to system (if you dont know fastboot enough)

Commands for Fastboot if installed

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

Any ETA for the new beta release(not charging,only ask if you don't mind)?

i'm waiting for this masterpiece to work mobile data fixed,and when you told that would be fixed on next release,i'm getting crazy for testing :)

Mobile data isn't fixed yet, mic in calling should be fixed ;) anyway I have an idea for mobile data though but still need to test it tonight.

[MENTION=289661]cheep[/MENTION]2k8 is building and testing my latest sources and will update them if necessary so we hopefully could provide the update today :)
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] adwinp:
1: Use the Motorola SELinux context files, these should set the proper policies.

I suggest to base the build on the shamu device tree & add sony-specific defines: https://android.googlesource.com/device/moto/shamu

2: It seems that in 5.0 a daemon is required for data services, as well as the proper props & perms

- daemon -> rmnetctl/rmnetcli from here: https://android.googlesource.com/device/moto/shamu/+/master/dataservices/

This is what supposedly sets the rmnet0 device as a network dev & allows sockets & routing.

3: make sure the proper perms are set; example again, from https://android.googlesource.com/device/moto/shamu/+/master/ueventd.shamu.rc

4: check how rmnetcli is initiated in https://android.googlesource.com/device/moto/shamu/+/master/init.shamu.rc

5: audio: do you have the correct policy & mixer paths?

https://android.googlesource.com/device/moto/shamu/+/master/audio_policy.conf

https://android.googlesource.com/device/moto/shamu/+/master/mixer_paths.xml

6: GPS: have you set BOARD_VENDOR_QCOM_GPS_LOC_API_HARDWARE := $(TARGET_BOARD_PLATFORM) in the BoardConfig.mk?

Try hardsetting BOARD_VENDOR_QCOM_GPS_LOC_API_HARDWARE := msm8084

The GPS shouldn't have changed between msm8974 & msm8084, or if you want to do it the proper way, you need to check how it's referenced in https://android.googlesource.com/platform/hardware/qcom/gps/+/master

Again, quite a lot of generic qcom stuff can be reused across devices - no need to rediscover america

btw, the sony github still uses a 3.4.10 kernel, NOT 3.5.2.2. The latter is just an internal revision reference.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] omg_penguin:
Jist thought I'd chime in here and say that i flashed it on a UK D6503, got it booted but WiFi wouldn't connect and (as expected) cell service was unavailable. I'm now back on stock rooted but I'm happy to continue testing future builds. Keep up the great progress! Definitely happy to donate once it becomes more daily driver ready :)
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] krabappel2548:
Well thx for all the info :) I'll check it out as soon as I have some time. But mobile data routing issue seems more kernel related though.

I haven't checked Gps at all. For selinux I'm using N5 one with some edits.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] cheep5k8:
I'm trying a Q&D approach and going to try the rmnetcli tool on my Z2 and see what happens... this needs to be done properly but if I can make it work like this then we'll know that this is definitely the right direction. Thank you for your info.

EDIT: So this needs the PF_NETLINK protocol to communicate with the rmnet driver. I have a suspicion that this is just for rmnet_usb devices, which is not the case in the Z2, but then again I'm a complete noob when it comes to the rmnet driver and devices.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] hotnikkelz:
they're already working together, and it's more than two. They just have separate threads, but they are communicating behind the scene
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] GeekyAndroid:
I have done what you said, I booted into Lollipop (which has sexy animations btw) and I had a small problem, pressing the power button HotReboots the device.

Also, wifi did not turn on (you probably already know this) and of course the usual issues, camera, rotation.. etc.

As for OP and all devs working on this, I'm happy to test future builds now that my brother, who has a Nexus 5, is starting to tease me. :)

For now I'm on PACRom RC3.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] vendetta718:
Ok thanks for the info. Good luck guys!!
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] cheep5k8:
Turning on Wifi will fix the reboot issue.

[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] kokesh:
Can we please keep this thread for meaningful posts regarding development and installation help? Not for "I want this to be my daily driver", " when will you release it ", etc.

[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] krabappel2548:
Seems [MENTION=289661]cheep2sk8[/MENTION] got modem working and I found a way to patch kernel to allow proper net routing for mobile data ;) I can confirm mobile data will be working on next release :)
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Envious_Data:
It seems alot of devices with LP builds suffer the same issues so perhaps looking at another build for another device with simular hardware (with these issues fixed of course) may alow you to fix this one

I do believe Xperia Z has a extremly stable and well working build, i doubt that would be much help due to a generaly different board but Z Ultra, Z1 and Z3 may be useful to look at or even to ask those devs unless you already did

I dont know who the dev is for Xperia Z so for all i know it could be M.jackson
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] cheep5k8:
Yes, we got mobile data working; krabappel fixed the routing and I fixed the RIL.

There might be issues with WiFi now, I spent all night fixing it but the best I have for now is a fix for the hot reboot on screen off when there is no WiFi available. At least something for the moment but we're not far away ;)

Hey guys, just a quick heads up, we've got mobile data and Wifi working at the same time. We need to consolidate the changes first into our repo. Please no ETAs, you'll get it soon. Just so you know things are looking good.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Miomjon:

[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] cheep5k8:
That'd be the next thing (it doesn't work yet, at least not fully; i.e. it "works" but doesn't find any devices), but first we need to consolidate our current changes back into the repo.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] kokesh:
Did Sony release also stuff for the camera, or do we have to use KitKat blobs? It will be interesting to see Sony opening the new APIs in Lollipop. Currently it is not possible for example to set ISO outside of stock Camera app (FV-5 Camera lets you select the ISO, but when you take a photo, the choice isn't respected as Sony ignores it).
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] adyscorpius:
Camera and modem blobs weren't shared..
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] adwinp:
We are using an Exmor RS sensor (IMX220) - have any other devices using this camera had a functional 5.0 rom?

We can use their blobs.

Or we can use the 4.4 kernel driver, HAL, blobs & wrapper. I think CM has a generic camera wrapper for some of the devices. You would need to check the device trees.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Myself5:
Great job. Tell me if I shall build something (krabappel2548 has my email ;))

Sony QCOM Devices have their own CameraWrapper on CM.

See here: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_qcom-common/blob/cm-12.0/camera/CameraWrapper.cpp

In CM 12 experimental build by Infected many similar issues as in all AOSP builds,but bluetooth is working....
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] jonathan413:
OK so I'm confused on instructions on installation. 1)Do I need custom recovery (twrp,cwm) because it says go into recovery to wipe but then says to wipe 3 partitions through fastboot so which one is it? And cant you wipe all 3 partitions in recovery? My guess is custom recovery because of gapps but what does it mean to flash gapps with kernel then flash back aosp kernel? Where is this kernel with gapps and why is installation that way? Also to flash back the aosp kernel, is that regular zip or boot.IMG file? Sorry I'm no noob but I come from Sammy/HTC/lg devices where non of this is really common except boot.img/system.IMG on HTC only on locked bootloaders but other than that its purely recovery and zip and done on those devices and this one isn't so just looking for clarification. Also I did take a look at the flashing guide in beginning of the android development thread and it doesn't show any steps that OP suggests to get his ROM up and running.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] Miomjon:
With Sony phones (at least the recent ones), the recovery is contained in the boot.img file, but the boot.img for Lollipop does not contain one. Now, let me explain how to install the ROM, but please understand that the beta 2.0 for Sirius is not suited for regular use as almost nothing works (no Wifi, no Phone, no BT, etc.).

-Make a backup because you are most likely going back to your previous ROM after playing with this one.

-You need to wipe userdata. You can do that by either wiping it from recovery or flashing a userdata.img (through fastboot, "fastboot flash userdata userdata.img") from other Z2 lollipop builds.

-Then, you can flash the other .img files with fastboot. But please note that if you want Gapps and/or root, you should keep the current boot.img after flashing the other .img files, then boot to recovery, flash the desired .zip, then go back to fastboot and flash the new boot.img file.

-Reboot and it should work.

To summarise, a recovery is only needed for Gapps and/or root because installing the ROM itself is done entirely through fastboot.

Then, if you want to restore a backup made with a recovery, you have to flash with fastboot a boot.img that contains the same recovery. You can do that by extracting the file from a ROM .zip (open the .zip and you should see it). Once flashed, you can boot the recovery and restore the backup.
[Xperia Z2 Original Android Development] krabappel2548:
