January 20. Good News! Time service completely fixed. Qcom's crappy and creepy service taken out and replaced with Sony open source TimeKeep ported from MM/N. No connection to the internet needed. Everything is done locally on the device. TWRP has also been modified to set the correct time on boot.

The wayTimeKeep works is that before the shut down, it saves the properly set time and on reboot restores it (after the down time calculation). TWRP also reads that value on boot. For those who have encrypted data: the correct time in TWRP will be set after you enter boot password and data is decrypted and mounted.

You may flash dirty if on a previous release. Otherwise, fresh install (read directions)

P.S. This build included an experimental kernel. So, if you have any problems, flash the stable version in fastboot (unzip the file first): https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3995799&d=1483894575

December 13. Stereo Sound is here. This is based on Dontbelive mode, but it is just clean stereo sound (ear piece and loud speaker), no bass or any other ridiculous "improvements" that do nothing, but distort. And as a result, just a clear stereo sound for games, videos, songs etc...

Just flash the zip in TWRP and reboot. Remember, this is not a rom, but a stereo-sound mode to flash on top of Jaguar...

After installing this, you have to make one call to recalibrate the sound. Otherwise, you may have distortions in the ear piece....

November 16. Kernel with DirtyCow fix. Download and flash in recovery. This is not for fastboot.

November 10. Rom updated to include November Security Patches+. I have also removed Supersu, as the rom has a built-in root manager. However, if anyone wants to install Supersu, you can easily flash it in recovery

October 10. Kernel-no-overclock.

Unzip and flash in fastboot.

October 9. Updated Kernel, which includes:

1. Updated higher frequency voltage

2. Improved Prima/Wifi driver

Your CPU variant may require voltage adjustment in Kernel Adiutor for new frequencies. Try to give a load for CPU and if you have freezing or random reboots (which you shouldn't), adjust higher 3 by +10/20. This latest kernel achieves 40000+ antutu score with Ondemandplus with temperature rising to about 58 at the highest load...

Note that some CPU/GPU variants just won't go to 2803 for CPU or 600 for GPU

Instructions: Unzip boot.img and flash in fastboot: fastboot flash boot boot.img or use various apps to install without fastboot

October 8. Rotating Home Screen: if you want your home screen rotate like on a tablet, flash the attached file in recovery and reboot. So, when you set display to rotate, home screen will be included

October 5. New release:

1. Kernel overclocked to 2803: experimental, I have used it for 10 days without problems

2. October security patches from Google and Code Aurora

3. Over 80 commits from Google Master Gerrit which included changes to bionic, art, frameworks and system

4. Updated Afwall

5. Maybe more

This rom is now about 40% Nougat. One of the side effects: Xposed framework no longer works, but getting rid of it and instead using Privacy Guard is almost as good. Don't forget, Xposed is an exploit, which provides hooks for good and bad things.

September 8. Rom updated to include:

1. September Google security patches

2. Latest Code Aurora patches https://www.codeaurora.org/projects/security-advisories

3. MPdecision is permanently disabled due to interfering with other hotplug and CPU frequencies. Default is MSMdecision, but you can pick several others in Kernel Adiutor

4. CPU overclock and underclock removed: no benefit whatsoever

5. More hardening ported from 3.18, 4.1 and 4.4 kernels: https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/q/hardened,25 You won't find those in any rom custom or stock. This is from 3.18-4.4 kernels and it has nothing to do with Sony AOSP. :rolleyes: That's why it works...

6. About 70-80 commits from Android Master Branch. Folks. This is no longer a lollipop rom

7. PXN security feature implemented, which takes advantage of special instructions on ARMv7 to prevent unprivileged execution. See here: https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/265892/

8. Further integration of VOLTE

9. Kernel Adiutor: author has decided to go with Mobile Ads/Adview/Adbanner. So these were removed...

10. Camera: improvements to camera wrapper (missing entries), as well as some modifications in /frameworks/av/camera, so, you have a sharper picture. See photo attached, although, XDA reduces pictures... . This was taken with Open Camera. Not the crappy Sony Open Camera, but the fully open source one, with many features including several focusing modes: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=open+camera&fdid=net.sourceforge.opencamera. Tell me bootloader locked stock camera is better. It is not...

11. Maybe more...

WARNING: you need to do one thing after flashing the rom: flash the latest stock baseband. BASEBAND ONLY. If you don't, you will only have LTE: no H+/H/2G. This is a one-time procedure and is due to Volte implementation. You can either use FlashTool to flash stock baseband or a Partition Backup App (from Googleplay or elsewhere) to backup and restore your modems. With FlashTool, first flash the rom, then reboot, then flash the latest baseband. With Partition Backup, first, backup your modems, then flash the rom, then restore modems and reboot. You have been warned. I don't want to hear cries: where is my 3G!
