Thank you so much for this! For so many years I thought my SP would always be stuck on android 4.3 because I had a locked bootloader. Your rom is really clean and fast to use that it even feels a bit faster than my Moto G4! 😃 I only wish that I had discovered this back in 2015 when i first bought the phone!
[Xperia SP Android Development] feromgar:
Random question, but can this ROM pass SafetyNet? If no, do you know any way to do so in KitKat?
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
considering this rom comes without google services yes it does by pass the extra app install checks\

you can sideload apps from anywhere if you set the settings correctly
[Xperia SP Android Development] feromgar:
Thank you for your fast reply.

Perhaps I should be a bit clearer: If I were to use this ROM + any Gapps package, it will pass SafetyNet? Sorry if this sounds dumb, but I want to be sure before flashing stuff hahahaha
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
Prob NOT pass the safetynet

safetynet detects rooted and custom roms and will fail
[Xperia SP Android Development] feromgar:
Oh, okay. thank you for your time! Have a nice day!
[Xperia SP Android Development] gabuxas:
thanks you

[MENTION=5840786]Sam spancer[/MENTION] can you help me with the link i only want to install album and music app not more bloatware of Sony :) ...

And again im extremely sry for my post.. But thanks in advance :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] Sam spancer:
no,as i said music data wont work in walkman, u can use apolo, its fast and it can download music data.

all knows sony stock has low sound.

whatever feature they have, enhancement or anything, sound actually nt equal to which custom roms have.

sondont worry abt sound.

---------- Post added at 05:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 AM ----------

i dont use walkman.

u sud try different version one will work

first clear dalvik and cache

download apk from google

and then install
[Xperia SP Android Development] Redcalibur:
Does the kernel of this rom include a recovery? This makes it easier for me to just fastboot it and flash the rom. If it does not include a recovery, can one of you link me to one that I can use?

Thank you in advance.
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
The kernel does not include recovery

However the recovery files are inside the Rom

The kernel and recovery files install as part of the Rom install script procedure

Check my first post again for those that want a separate optional stock kernel with recovery files included as a flashable zip
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
try these links

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.album

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.music

search for 'sony music' and 'sony album' on google store
[Xperia SP Android Development] vvaklnprm:
The op says that this rom has z framework, so does that mean it has the usual xperia ui? Like launcher, status bar, etc?
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
No, everything the same as what ever comes with standard Omni Rom

I should have been more clearer that I ported from the original Omni Xperia Z Rom Framework

Not stock Xperia Z Rom
[Xperia SP Android Development] CrimsonCrap:
Dude, you did it. Words cannot describe how smooth this ROM is. I had 506 mb free ram on first boot. OMG. I LOVE YOU.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Sam spancer:
the users who dont care abt a lot features instead who wants a perfect stable and fast rom on there hand which they can use as a daily drive,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,this is only for them......
[Xperia SP Android Development] j0a0:
So I presume that this ROM is stable for daily use...

I'm using last build from MrSteve555 and this is my daily phone... So this ROM as no bugs and perfect for daily use? One more question, is 1 or 2 storage?

edit: Sorry for so many questions, but I'm LBL and can I flash the ROM as it is or I need to remove the kernel.elf from the zip before I flash it?

Thanks
[Xperia SP Android Development] CrimsonCrap:
No bugs that I've found. And yes, it's perfect for daily use. With greenify, I can open atleast 5-6 apps simultaneously. It depends though.

The bug that I was scared of, and a lot of the 4.4 roms have, was the System UI force close issue because of which the screen doesn't turn on and if it's already on, the performance goes to sh*t until you restart the phone. That bug is non existant in this ROM. The only thing that I've had a little bit of an issue with was the Google play services battery drain problem. But, I went to the Apps permissions option in the settings and and restricted Play Services from keeping the device awake. That fixed it for me. Also, this ROM is 2 storage and I'm pretty sure it's LBL but I'm not sure. The ROM does come with the stock .207 kernel.
[Xperia SP Android Development] j0a0:
Thanks for the reply and for share your experience with this ROM!

So, on LBL no need to remove the kernel.elf from the ROM? Right?
[Xperia SP Android Development] kaushal9119:
Yes...you can directly flash it without deleting kernel.elf file
[Xperia SP Android Development] Sam spancer:
there may be a google battery fix in this op too

check that

system ui force close is a cause when the rom is on very heavy use. it hapoens with all phones either they having 2 gb ram.

use app setting to keep an app in memory as your fav browser

so while u doing real imp work u dont hv to b worried that it will get closed

or if u downloading smthing, it wont get cancle.

hv fun
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
Your welcome...

It is a pleasure people appreciate my works and enjoy the fun it brings

Hard to believe that with just over 2 weeks of hard work we managed to bring about something of good for the masses

Big thanks to Sam Spancer for all the testing and feedback before the big release day - we had a tonne of issues but got for thru them all

YES this is a stable daily use rom!

Keep the feedback coming, thank you for all the support
[Xperia SP Android Development] Suriteka:
It's now 2 day I use this ROM. AND IT'S JUST PERFECT !

Battery life is like Lollipop Roms, so it's good. But the better is the smoothness of this ROM.

Just cry about theming :'(

If someone need any screenshots, ...
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
Install the official 'Miui home launcher' and you can theme away for free

[Xperia SP Android Development] Suriteka:
I know this ! I have Nova Launcher Pro too which is perfect ! :p

[Xperia SP Android Development] Imtiaz369:
No root permission.... What is the solution
[Xperia SP Android Development] Suriteka:
Did you read the OP ? :silly:

You need to flash this ! https://download.chainfire.eu/641/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
OR this towelroot

https://towelroot.com

(This rom comes with SuperUser but requires root to work)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Imtiaz369:
how to change theme...no theme engine is here
[Xperia SP Android Development] CrimsonCrap:
Omni ROM doesn't support themes.
[Xperia SP Android Development] CrimsonCrap:
I think I've found a bug you guys. Offline charging is giving me some issues. I have to hard reboot because the screen goes black. Anyone else experiencing the same?

EDIT: Weird. I can't reproduce the issue. Maybe it was a one time thing?
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
Apologies that you have encountered an issue.

Can you please post this using the bug report tab in this same thread and we will investigate further, thank you!

Give as much info about the issue as you can, detailing all your actions.

Did it fully charge and restart?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Sam spancer:
for this fone very few roms are available,

roms which has lot feature are nt stable perfectly

all i want to say is forget abt theming js have ba stable daily use fone. if sm1 ask u the time n u hv to look at ur fone n u press the power button to turn on the screen n it dsnt turn on..... how will u feel like.

less hijacking tends to stability

we have almost all features which we need to use.
[Xperia SP Android Development] CrimsonCrap:
Lol it's funny how the exact thing that you described happened to me. I wanted to throw my phone at the wall.[emoji1]
[Xperia SP Android Development] CrimsonCrap:
I've been having a bit of a heavy battery drain today so I decided to do some digging. I had close to 200 RILJ wakelocks in a span of 14 minutes. Is this normal?View attachment 3351215
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
On some Roms due to a new Google update there can be a massive battery drain

To resolve this issue Go to Settings / Apps, Swipe down until you find Google Play services

Tap on it and "Uninstall updates" Restart and clear Davik cache
[Xperia SP Android Development] CrimsonCrap:
Alright thanks. I'll try it.
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
If you check out the first post in the thread I have now added further solutions to the Google Services Battery Drain issue

This normally only effects the new lollipop Rom's however can effect any Android running Google Services
[Xperia SP Android Development] Sam spancer:
well if u dont bother abt update n themes n lollipop n implementing anything atall then this rom is perfect for u

try using the rom just as it is

however you can use any launcher you want but then uninstall stock launcher with the help of titanium backup

more feedback is welcome
[Xperia SP Android Development] headbon3:
Removing the updates and/or not updating Google Play services will eventually make some of its associating apps to misbehave or stop functioning (ex. Google+). The only solution is to use Greenify (donate version) and hibernate it and do a wake-up path cutting to solve the problem partially :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
Not had any issues so far with removing updates - however I only use google play store and everything works fine!

Thanks for the alternative solution
[Xperia SP Android Development] CrimsonCrap:
So I was able to reproduce the offline charging bug that I experienced before. I have described what it is and how to reproduce is as best I could in the bug report section of this thread. I hope you guys fix it soon. :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Sam spancer:
well till now i didnt have any bug for offline charging.
[Xperia SP Android Development] CrimsonCrap:
Maybe I have a faulty flash? I made sure to wipe everything.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Sam spancer:
look guys

there r always different phenomena with different handset

as my battery is nt as it ws wen i bought it. it drains a lil faster.

i came to know abt this wen i used a lot of roms. tried a lot of things to fix that bt didnt succeed.

i cant blame any rom for draining bcz i myself know that my battery is nt like others xperia sp.

it depends on hardware

if it depends on rom then u sud wioe everything perfectly its js a min to to get back everything with titanium zip.

however neil is looking over the offline charge.

i dont do offline charge mostly so if other members also hving the problem with it plz tell us.
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
I can confirm this is more likely a recovery issue with the CWM version currently present in the ROM.

Can you please reflash the kernel. There is a kernel / recovery zip in my first post that will enable you to do this via recovery.

Clear Dalvik cache before and after flashing this kernel and then report back.

This should fix the issue!

I am working on updating recoveries in the Rom for future releases
[Xperia SP Android Development] CrimsonCrap:
Alright I'll try it now [emoji1]
[Xperia SP Android Development] CrimsonCrap:
I flashed the kernel/recovery zip and it fixed the issue [emoji4] . Thanks so much.
[Xperia SP Android Development] CrimsonCrap:
Is there any way to decrease the touch sensitivity a little bit? Sometimes I accidentally press a key on the keyboard just by hovering over it.
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
Yes if you feel lucky you can edit the clearpad.idc file in system/usr/idc

Minimal settings are these

# Pressure

touch.pressure.scale = 0.0074

# Size

touch.size.scale = 16.91

touch.size.bias = 67.65

Maximum Settings are these

# Pressure

touch.pressure.scale = 1.00

# Size

touch.size.scale = 20.00

touch.size.bias = 70.00

try something in-between the min and max settings

Do this at your own risk and always backup

Going outside of the min and max settings will cause unknown issues

[MENTION=4729744]NeilDownx[/MENTION] thank you so much. And you too [MENTION=5840786]Sam spancer[/MENTION].

I cannot believe this rom hasn't attracted more attention yet! It is far and away, the smoothest and most lag free rom I have tried on my XSP. And I've tried a few, including the most recent lollipop roms.

I have installed all the apps I always use, including facebook, messenger, instagram, twitter, snapchat - all running without a hitch. I installed chrome browser and it runs perfectly and without any lag as you scroll down a page. I also haven't had one of those random freezes where the screen goes yellow and does not respond.

You're a genius. I was borderline going to get another phone because I just couldn't hack the lag I had experienced on other roms, but you've saved me doing that so thanks a million!
[Xperia SP Android Development] CrimsonCrap:
Thank you so much. It's rare to find developers interact and actively help their users with the little things. [emoji4]
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
People prefer the latest popular rom's with up to date features, give it time and they will all come running, thank you for the feedback!

My other Rom's had over 6,000+ downloads it is early days yet for Omni-X

......every little helps!
[Xperia SP Android Development] incisi ker:
hey thanks for this rom.

Please upload this rom another site,i cant download on mediafire.

Edit: problem was solved. :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] tomgv:
In my opinion this is the smoothest rom for xperia SP.

:good:
[Xperia SP Android Development] CrimsonCrap:
After a week of continuous use, I have determined that this is indeed the best ROM for the XSP. With that said, there is one problem has been consistent ever since I first booted this ROM up. There is significant standby battery drain on this ROM. I have fixed the gplay services issue and have been monitoring wakelocks with betterbatterystats for almost a week and concluded that there are indeed no wakelocks keeping the phone awake. Despite the phone being in deep sleep, I still lose 1 percent every 1-2 hours with no processes running in the background while the phone is on 2g standby. As a result, I have concluded that either there is some unaddressed bug that is doing this, or my battery cannot hold a charge anymore. I believe the latter is highly unlikely as I haven't experienced this issue on stock which I was using before. Now, I do feel it is necessary to mention that while the screen is on, the battery life is the same if not better than stock. This is the only gripe I have with the ROM at the moment. But, considering how smooth and bugless this ROM is compared to its competition, I am not switching from it as long as i have this phone. Anyways, hope you guys address this. [emoji4]
[Xperia SP Android Development] Suriteka:
With this ROM I have the much beautiful and lagfree experience with my Xperia SP C5003.

By the way, the battery life is really great, better than other LP ROM.

It's one week that I'm using it and it's just perfect.

The only problem is that this ROM have not a Theme Engine.

Good job [MENTION=4729744]NeilDownx[/MENTION]
[Xperia SP Android Development] glarage:
calendar

I already had a few such problems. Now I use WLD+ BBS .

For example on this rom, the first boot NFC services ate me the battery , even by freezing . I have removed ... no problems since .

For google play services , I only use the play store . I turn off or frozen ALL the rest : google backup , sync contact, feedback google , calendar , sync calendar .

I unchecked everything in backup and reset , security , locations services, in the settings of the google play store and settings google (especially after an update )

No problem since even without fix.

Viewing the kernel wakelock and tell us .....Main? , bam dmux?

+1 poto :good:
[Xperia SP Android Development] CrimsonCrap:
How did you disable nfc completely?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Treboeth:
This ROM does seem to be the best for LBL users, least lag and better battery life.

The only thing I have us WiFi is showing as constantly on ( it is not ) in battery stats.

My SP is my spare phone now hence the 2 days with minimal use [emoji1]
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
use ES file manager or another with root access

find Nfc.apk and nfc-handover.apk and delete them

restart and clear davik cache - they be gone for good!!!!
[Xperia SP Android Development] glarage:
Like said Neil, you can do it manuelly or you can try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&hl=fr

Or a another one...
[Xperia SP Android Development] CrimsonCrap:
Thanks.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Sam spancer:
as i said battery depends on phone. every one of us has different battery ? working there.

the one who has perfect battery that one is not facing any problem instead he must see that this rom earns more battery for him

but who has bad battery as mine then watever we disable nfc or anything we gonna have the same thing

it is recommanded to all users plz dont use any other flash from any other rom on this rom

as many of us use mr steve lag free or anything, bt that actually tends to lag.

theme engine and more features?

really guys u tell neil that u want more features or u want more stability.

this actually happened with all roms. user tried to hv feature so developer forgot abt stability and keep adding features this tends to the moments wen we cant even tell the time to other bcz the fone hangs.

i request plz tell us abt bugs and any of the stability issue except battery .

neil is the great guy he will surely look after watever u will ask for,but i insist better be spacific abt stability.

for features there are a lot roms on the xperia sp threads.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Treboeth:
And there was me thinking I was reporting a bug of the Wi-Fi running when off ?

Never mind a reflash seems to have sorted it anyway ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] sambastrakan:
The min settings were not suficient for me. I had to modify also cyttsp4_mt.idc and init.qcom.rc (in ramdisk).

I think glove mode is no more working with this modd. I didn't find where in settings we can set it.

If you are facing ghost touch like me, flash this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32890756/GhostTouchFix-signed.zip

If you want to update the recoveries, flash https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32890756/UpdtRecoveries-signed.zip

New TWRP permits to access device with adb. I use it sometimes.

Superuser didn't work for some app I use (Autostart for example). Then I use the CM one: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32890756/CM-Superuser.zip

I'm ok with it.

Now a little request: is it possible to implement init.d support like in CM ?

Thanks, this rom is light, good and fast !

[EDIT] Actually, I continue having ghost touch even with my modded settings (less than with stock settings). And when I tap back, sometimes I can ear 2 clicks... Like double tap. Any idea ?

I need help to solve my ghost touch problem. I found where: I have to edit init.qcom.rc in ramdisk.cpio.gz (the one in the install scrip "Stock Kernel with Recovery (Handy zip ready for flashing)" on 1st post). I did that 50 times but I'm unable to rebuild correctly this f..... cpio file.

It's so simple: I just need to change:

write /sys/devices/i2c-3/3-0024/main_ttsp_core.cyttsp4_i2c_adapter/signal_disparity 0

write /sys/devices/i2c-3/3-0024/main_ttsp_core.cyttsp4_i2c_adapter/finger_threshold 100

IN

write /sys/devices/i2c-3/3-0024/main_ttsp_core.cyttsp4_i2c_adapter/signal_disparity 1

write /sys/devices/i2c-3/3-0024/main_ttsp_core.cyttsp4_i2c_adapter/finger_threshold 280

Simple in a tar file but in f.... cpio file I don't know how to get it. I tried making it in the phone, on ubuntu, taking care to keep the same files owners, etc. Then if I flash it the boot fail --> reset --> enter recovery --> reflash Stock Kernel with Recovery zip. It's good to be able to enter recovery with a messed up ramdisk.cpio.gz but I don't understand.

HHEEEELLLPPPP !
[Xperia SP Android Development] sambastrakan:
