KexecHardboot

Hi [MENTION=1124510]scrubber[/MENTION]!

The new ported ROM can't be used in MultiROM as the second ROM. What about being the first?

So, I have applied the kexec-hardboot to the GPE kernel sources released by Sony that you referred to. My final patch is attached.

Unfortunately, the kernel I am building doesn't work due to some other problems, I am certainly doing something wrong and it's not the kexec patch part.

Can you please rebuild and share a boot.img with this patch but all the modifications you had to do to get it working? It will make GPE port MultiROM compatible :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Its his work and I am sure lots of hours are spent for no pay...plus nobody forces any of us to flash it. Is it really necessary to post this?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rbrandser:
May I suggest you take some time, use Google search and find out how to replace the splash screen and/or boot animation.

And, seriously dude wtf.

Anyway, yes, I did dirty flash this over 5.0, and I have had 0 problems, everything nice and smooth so far! :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rnb5500:
Just want to second this sentiment. It would be great if someone could add kexec patch to the kernel so this port could be used in MultiROM. Or point me to stock LL kernel that is patched and compatible with this ROM?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] thermatk:
Update!

I have succesfully built the patched kernel (see attachments zImage and dt.img) but while now it has kexec-hardboot the ramdisk seems to be too modified to boot the MultiROM menu. Anyway, 75% of work is done, I hope.

So, for the future builders - I have used the old linaro toolchain 4.6(the only one that gave me problems I could quickly resolve, it wasn't about toolchains this time :) ) and there are some additional patches:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...fc90dab#diff-0d7cf45734954beb174f815cd5fd45b7

https://github.com/DooMLoRD/android...mmit/5a64e58c1afe28f73285c1f50929b7604b023eeb

https://github.com/DooMLoRD/android...mmit/0a643fbac1eb9ab59549ef7f3aa9066a46d86e59

As for the defconfig, I have only disabled SonyRIC and something called Sony SELinux Trap(?), SELinux appears to be remaining and everything works OK.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] thermatk:
Hooray!

The solution was to use the most unmodified ramdisk from CM and replace the ramdisk-in-the-ramdisk with the one from Scrubber's GPE ramdisk-in-the-ramdisk. Accidental bonus - those who hated the new branding will be happy to see it gone.

Attached is the ramdisk(for any developers only) and the newest and final kernel boot.img.

To get it working:

Go to TWRP of the Scrubber's kernel by pressing VolDown during boot

Install->image(a button in the right-down corner)->find the boot.img and install as kernel

Proceed to usual MultiROM installation via direct flashing or app :)

P.S. Attached is a boot.img.tar archive as the forum doesn't let me upload an *.img big enough and I didn't want to confuse anyone with it being a flashable *.zip, it isn't :)

So, an uncompressed mirror on googledrive is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BycpU5zOPNTyWXc3UExYUmh1bm8/view?usp=sharing

Have fun! :D

Been using this ROM for the past few days, mostly good except for very fast battery drain, even when the phone is mostly on standby with screen off, noticeably worse than the 5.0 port.

Anyone else seeing the same?

Flashed the 5.1 yesterday and this is the result.

I say battery life was good. After 1 day of used from flash and all my apps running.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Almar033:
assuming your bootloader is unlocked

I have used the latest flashtool version, perhaps you should also try another kernel (cm...)

If your are already rooted i think you can go to wiping step then flash

Is it possible to have Scubber's GPE Port as a secondary ROM in Multirom? If so, do I simply install the zip as normal in Multirom TWRP?

Or, would it be better to install Scrubber from stock KitKat, then make a Nandroid backup, install Multirom and then finally restore the Scrubber Nandroid in Multirom?

Regarding installation of Scrubber from stock Kitkat, if I have TRWP Recovery installed I do not need to Fastboot a CM boot.img before flashing the ROM - is that correct? Thanks in advance.

If I already have TRWP installed I do not need to Fastboot flash the kernel right? Thanks.

I now have Scrubber 5.1 installed as my primary ROM in Multirom. All is OK apart from the Multirom boot menu screen is quite dark. Also, after selecting the ROM to boot in the Multirom boot menu, the first part of the bootanimation is also darkened. I have increased the Multirom screen brightness in TWRP Multirom settings to the maximum value.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

So I have found out that if you are having an issue seeing 5g wifi networks if you change the settings on the router to the 48mhz channel you phone will now see the 5g networks. Reducing the bankd brings up a setting window that says the router will not preform as well but it works better than the 2.4ghz network. Hope this helps as it was an issue for me.

Encryption

Great ROM scrubber. Used it since it's release (5.1) and it's been solid.

Question to the group:

Has anyone ever turned on encryption for this ROM (5.1)?

Is it even possible with this ROM? Does it affect performance?

Not that I have anything to hide (my dear friends at the NSA), but I've bricked phones before and I'd like to know my data could never be retrieved if I sell it for parts or otherwise dispose it.

Actually only if you did backup your TA-partition before unlocking your bootloader. If you didn't do that your TA-partition is lost.

Same problem here. Did you solved it?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mobilevil:
i think xreality and bravia are just marketing terms of Sony's processing software. Ad the ta partition is just the license key? Google play edition don't come with the software to begin with so even if you have the ta partition there is no software for u to turn on.

Correct me if i am wrong. with ta partition restored the boot loader is locked down again i think. So it won't boot custom rom at all.

I remember there is a hack to enable xreality on a unlocked device. I. E. License check cracking. But they didn't port the Sony software to gpe and most likely the software will relay on a bunch of other Sony software so it won't be that easy to port.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
Sony's proprietary features, such as X-Reality require a LOCKED bootloader, the 5.0/5.1 GPe ports require an UNLOCKED bootloader. Restoring the TA partition usually locks the bootloader, and will result in the phone being soft-bricked. And even if the method that you use to restore the TA partition doesn't lock the bootloader, you won't get the features that require the TA partition to be present because they also require bootloader to be locked.

So, until a dev can use the kernel from the stock Lollipop ROM to accept the GPe ROM, as what I assume was the case with the GPe Kitkat port working with an unlocked bootloader, Xperia ZU owners are denied those features that require a locked bootloader if running the GPE Lollipop port.
