That's too bad. I hadn't done it in a while but was able to flash the boot.IMG once on an early build of cm12. I would love so much for someone to build us a functional twrp for the z2tab.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] PVL_93_RU:
Another update - flashing doomlord's kernel over CM12 caused Mobile Data and WiFi to be broken. Had to flash CM12 boot.img back AND reflash the rom (no wipes), which essentially erased Xposed

Cyanogen recovery is crap -_-

Hopefully soon we will have a real functioning recovery
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] Frostbiter:
There is a recovery in the PAC rom thread that works with PAC, it's twrp and it is said to work even after flashing an update too. It might work with this too since it's cm12 based and not based of 4.x and Sony stock but not sure.

I think I read that our device doesn't have a separate recovery partition. This probably makes it hard to have the recovery since it needs to be built into the kernel, at least I think.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] PVL_93_RU:
Can you pinpoint me to exactly where it is? And is that recovery built into the ROM if I flash that instead of CM12?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] Frostbiter:
It's somewhere in the thread just go back from the last page till you find where there is a download link for the most recent one. It's separate and flashed through fastboot he has detailed instructions on it in the thread.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rockknee:
Here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=59156859

It is separate recovery. You should be able to fastboot flash that with cm. So the recovery is NOT built in to the ROM.

Does anyone know if the builds that Fxp posts are any different that the official cm12 nightlies (that are apperenty maintained by fxp anyways)?

Like maybe the fxp builds don't include this CyanogenMod recovery?

Edit: I flashed the fxp castor windy build from 3/2 using twrp from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3052676

Once flashed and booted to cm12, I used advanced reboot menu to boot recovery and it took me twrp and not the sh*tty cm recovery. I'm not sure if only the fxp cm12 ROMs don't have the cmrecovery built in or what but this is all I wanted. Thought I'd share my experience.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] rockknee:
I have assumed that these builds are basically the same as official cm builds.

According to the second post these builds have as well that s**tty cm recovery on the boot.img so I don't see the reason why you get different recoveries booted randomly.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] bacon612:
Thank you for sharing this info. Im not sure why I got cm recovery the after flashing twrp. I reflashed it and it worked. No longer boots to cm recovery (thank god). I was scared to flash cm nightlies for fear of having to reflash twrp. I actually haven't updated to a cmupdater nightly yet since loading the fxp. Will try tomorrow.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] hasenbein1966:
Cyanogenmod really has its merits, and there are really some devices where using it brings advantages (especially for instance Samsung devices).

But, sorry to be a party pooper, on the Z2 tablet it just makes no sense because with stock ROM + root (and perhaps Xposed for some design changes) you get a wonderful fast and functional system. So why bother with missing functionalities in CM?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] bastard79:
anybody tried cm12.1 nightly - is it stable for daily use ?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] BabelHuber:
It's a matter of peferences - while Sony's ROM is not bad, I personally prefer CM. I would ask the exact opposite question: Why should I use a Sony ROM when CM is available?

Is above recipe working for stock (unrooted) 4.4.4 build 23.0.1.A.0.167 ?

I am kind of scared to hurt my new Z2 SGP512 ... I did successfully unlock bootloader.

I ask because I flashed twrp-2.8.5.0-castor (fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-castor.img) but cannot boot into twrp, so if I am now going to overwrite boot as well, I need some courage, and ideally, a confirmation from someone who used above for same HW/SW

Thanks!

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] :

Should have read the homepage first. http://fxpblog.co/about/ says:

What is the difference between a CyanogenMod nightly and a release from FXP?

Probably nothing except for some FXP graphics at boot. During device bring-up or shortly after a new version of Android is released, we may publish test builds before merging into CyanogenMod.

So we are safe using the officials, I guess. Eager ones use the unofficials ;)

What is the periodicity which one can expect for this nice FXP Xperia CM 12.1 (including Z2 Tablet castor) firmware? Like: once every month?

Also: is the build recipe for FXP Xperia CM 12.1 same as official CM one? I ask because there were a few hacks I needed to build official CM one like missing Sony acdb files and msm8974-common directory.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] :
from FXP CM to nightly CM 12.1

Question near the end.

I was, just as exercise, trying to go from FXP CM to nightly CM 12.1

But I fail, both OTA and from TWRP.

Tried both 'update' and 'first time' procedure.

After flash, SONY logo stays there and I can connect with adb.

There are around 36 dex2oat processes running (I guess to rebuild art

cache), which is what I see with logcat as well. Then, after some time

(5 a 10 minutes I guess), adb goes into 'offine' mode. I wait another

15 minutes or so a

I could restore from backup, no problem, and cache art had to be

rebuild as well.

Now I wonder:

Question: Did anyone recently succeed going from FXP CM to nightly CM

12.1? Any comments hints to share? Does one need (I hope not) to

factory reset?

In my case, from FXP/cm-12.1-20150413-UNOFFICIAL-castor.zip to

CM/cm-12.1-20150511-NIGHTLY-castor.zip
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] jvanhoenacker:
For me cm12.1 is getting pretty stable and usable, can't complain.

I have one weird issue with audio volumes on speakers that are being capped and limited too low, and I don't know how to fix that...

Also the recovery is annoying, always have to switch back to twrp on each update...
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] :
Can, in the spirit of free software, the exact build recipe for FXP

CM ROM be made available?

FYI:

I followed standard CM castor recipe with success but needed some adjustments,

maybe because this ROM is a few weeks behind.

I have followed Sony AOSP build recipe with success without any

adjustments. But until camara works in AOSP, I prefer CM.

So I would hope FXP can kindly outline exact build recipe for CM just

like Sony kindly does for AOSP (and kernel).

Then anyone can build their own FXP -style CM.

note that I would be happy to use standard nightly castor CM build,

but, for some reason, this upgrade fails...
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] phoneFox:
I think that would be a "normal" cm update as both official and unofficial are basically the same ROM. The update should be no different from updating from one official nightly to a newer official. Factory reset should not be necessary.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] :
Right, that's what I would think as well, which is why I was interested to know if anyone -effectively- did such update.

One positive answer would then indicate I must be doing something wrong or somehow deviate from others.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] :
Having a shiny new FXP I upgraded to FXP-cm-12.1-20150517-UNOFFICIAL-castor which went fine.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] toole:
USB otg working here?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] :
An ext4 formatted usb stick got mounted on /storage/usbdisk automatically when plugged in.

But it does not show in Settings Storage so I unmount it from CLI before unplugging it.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] Cocolopes:
What about a keyboard or a mouse?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] :
I did not try nor use a keyboard or a mouse, but, if I would, perhaps, I would hope to use them wireless (say: bluetooth)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] :
It seems SIM card does not register with provider on 20150517 version.

Anyone else experiences this ?: no PIN code asked and cannot turn on

Mobile networks.

Network providers do show but I cannot register mine.

I must admit: I have been swapping firmwares and SIM cards and even

mobile providers a lot recently while exeperimenting. So I do not

recall the entire matrix of what worked when.

But for sure other SIM card from other provider did register on older

firmware version and also does not register on 20150517 version, and,

this SIM card does register on my phone.

Let me ask: does anyone with Z2 LTE tablet and 20150517 FXP CM version have working mobile network? If at least one person, I know problem is specific to me.

OK so

- either everybody has mobile network issues on 20150517 SGP521

- or nobody (except me) has 20150517 SGP521 installed

:)

whatever ... @ FPX : thanks for CM ! it is really good (with perhaps one isolated LTE issue)

What gapps is recommended for 20150610 CM?

I see recent 5.1 gapps decrease in size, perhaps I do not search well..

I did not find any newer Slim_normal_gapps than

Slim_normal_gapps.BETA.5.1.build.0.x-20150523.zip 350318466

only Slim_mini_gapps

Slim_mini_gapps.BETA.5.1.build.0.x-20150610.zip 165563945

As for CM 12.1 gapps I found

gapps-5.1-2015-05-23-24.zip 221376850

gapps-5.1-2015-06-02-15-19.zip 85435493

So perhaps someone has better suggestion?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] alesyt0h:
I can update through CM updater right?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] :
Do you want fxp firmware? if so then flash it (with gapps) using custom recovery.

As for 'official' CM firmware: I cannot speak, I only flashed fxp which I find to be great.

Success!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Original Android Development] alesyt0h:
And what different have fxp? So.. the nightlies from CM updater are better to dont install it?

SystemUI - crashes can be fixed by adb pushing SystemUI from AOSP lollipop. All crashes now gone (including screen off). I'd suggest only those who know their way around adb try this (you need to r/w mount through adb shell) - here's the replacement SystemUI apk (it's from my latest 5.0.1 r2 build hehe) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0uD0ZLDjONjRW0xWS12MGF4OWc&authuser=0

Wifi - all good, nice to be able to access google drive, mail, play store etc

Camera - installed google camera - fc's as expected

SU permissions all good

Modem - cellular connected after pushing modem files and ril libs

Pleasantly surprised by first build - will test more stuff and report back..
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] dc416:
Did you need to manually push modem files and ril libs? Or are they in the build from the fxpblog.co site ?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] iBuzman:
^^ manually, I had them on hand (my 4.4.4 kitkat files) after grabbing them when trying to get lollipop aosp working.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] kid2010:
Is that possible for you to share those files? I'd really like to use the build if modem is working :) Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] iBuzman:
^^ I'm away from pc for rest of night.

modem:

mba.b00 & mba.mbt plus all modem.b00 thru modem.b25 & modem.mbt ~ all from stock kitkat. abd push into /etc/firmware/

ril libs:

libril.so and librilutils.so from stock kitkit. adb push into /system/lib/

cant remember if I remembered (if that makes sense..) to abd push rild into system/bin hehe ~ I think I forgot to do it but worked anyway

you should be able to get away with doing in root explorer instead of stuffing around with adb pushing. you have r/w mount system via root adb root shell first (took me ages to get permissions to push system files.. plus what I do is very hit and miss.. n00b hacking away blindly lol).

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

of course a flashable zip with systemui, modem and ril patches would be best - I'll see if I can learn how to make one (seeing we'll probably need it for a while yet).

probably try to put all the patches into the gapps flashable I think (why reinvent the wheel and I have to flash it already anyway)
