Xperia z5 blobs can be used on z2?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
For camera? Nope. They are of different architecture (32bit vs 64bit) and the camera resolution is not the same (20.7MP vs 23MP).
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
We Just need to wait for Alin's blobs.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Yes.

//Did you just answered yourself?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
Maybe, I thought it was more like a conclusion :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RaizinGolD:
So, z1 blobs can be used on z2? Cause camera run perfectly on cm14.1 on z1
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Applied already, but not yet optimised and the blobs need improvements. So we are waiting for more well-coded blobs.

//Running is basic, photo quality is sh** then it is like the camera never existed.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Indashio:
New Carbon avaible. Who is tested? Something has improved?

I made a thread about this in the general section, the reports says the Roms incredibly smooth, but the old bugs are still present, check out the thread to know what they are.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] akshay2shah:
Those who are missing Sony Sound Enhancement & Viper4Android,

I got it working on Pure Nexus 7.1.1

Keep calm and do these steps carefully.

Must follow these steps as follows.

1. firstly flash this

(Xperia_X_Performance_Walkman™_Port_v2.0_LP-MM-N_by_androidexpert35.zip)

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424955511

2. Secondly Flash this (must flash after 1st)

(Project Meli Twelve, Raising Sounds.zip)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1NiqiNsGvRxWHJyd21yVDlBTUE/view

3. Disable MusicFX

Go to settings >apps > show system apps > MusicFX and disable it.

4. Must Run Viper4Android in compatibility mode

5. Reboot.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vikash1994b:
If we just want sony sound enhancemnt can we only flash first link?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] akshay2shah:
It wont work if u flash only 1st.

Both zips are interconnected. (its a workaround to make SSE work)

Both zip uses eachother files cause zips are made from different developers
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] petterros:
Does that solve echo problem?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] FellipeSilvaRJ:
If I don't want Viper, I simple don't need to flash it? I just wanna make the microphone record louder.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RaizinGolD:
oh! thanks for it :) ...what about your battery life ? on screen time?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] roughavoc:
Just wondering, I installed the N version of this ROM and it is working well. But the banking app I wanted to use on the device comes up with detecting that the device has been rooted despite not actually having SuperSU installed.

Is this an issue with the ROM or the app? As in are there SuperSU stuff left around after a clean installation that would cause the app to show this warning?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
What SafetyNet status shows?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] roughavoc:
SafteyNet Request: Success

Response validation: Success

CTS Profile Match: False

This is the same on my OnePlus 3 but the app doesn't flag any warnings (Barclays banking app to be exact)

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:

//2nd time I have said this here.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mahdi128:
which do you prefer for daily usage?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
It depends on you.

//I personally likes CarbonROM. But if you ask me to choose from the two, I would prefer LOS, but neither of them is updated recently.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] akshay2shah:
CarbonRom updated on 23-01-2017

Two days before.

"The two" he asked me for is LOS and AOSP. Of course I know Carbon has updated;)

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] wicozani:
Something's went wrong!

Ok, first hiccup in quite a while. I was working with a rooted Z2 with a stock 6.0.1 .291 rom with TWRP 3.0.2-0 recovery installed and working well. I might have messed up royally. My phone was noted by both ADB and Fastboot. I used fastboot to flash what I thought was the boot.img for the PureNexus nougat rom, which completed properly, but the special 3.0.0-0 TWRP recover did not flash and gave off an error. I figured since I already had a working custom recovery (TWRP 3.0.2-0) that I was fine. I entered 3.0.2-0 recovery, wiped everything, and there I realized that the experimental zip was not a flashable zip, rather including all 3 7.1.1 roms and unable to bne unzipped in recovery. I also had the latest Carbon nougat rom for sirius in my download folder, so I flashed that along with full gapps and latest SuperSu. Finished by wiped cache and dalvic, and touched reboot system.

Straight black screen, no pics of anything. Only ever 2 second haptic feedback when depress the power button. Not recognized by ADB nor Fastboot. No lights of any kind on. Apparently unable to turn off after 20 second power press. In summary, looks like I flashed the PureNexus boot.img but flashed the latest Carbon nougat rom. I'm at a lost for what to do next. Thanks!

FOLLOW-UP: A brief red notification light when I plug it into my W7 computer with USB. Still not recognized by ADB, FASTBOOT, nor my computer or Sony Companion. Off USB, only every 2-second haptic feedback while pressing power button. Cannot apparently be turned off, and not charging with power (at least no notification light lit). Seems I've really bonked it this time! Any thoughts?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] rcstar6696:
it is disabled because the home button gets invisible in landscape

had similar issue-solved by Flashtool back to previous .291

HI,

I ecnountered similar situation, althought the actions leading to it were not same, I actually did not flash the boot image before using recovery to flash the noughat rom, ending in same dead phone, with blinking red light and haptic feedback if pressing power button for longer while.

All I did was flashtool - back to the previous state of rooted xx.291 rom. I was lucky that the phone responed to the flashtool in download mode ( usb + Vol. Down when connecting to PC) even though all other means of accessing were gone. Hope you are also able to get into download mode and recover! All the best.

Milind
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mohaned98:
Make sure your phone is charged then do the following

hold power + volume up for around 30 seconds. You won't get any feedback so just wait abit

Then u can either :

1 plug in the phone while holding volume up , that should take you to fastboot mode

2 plug in the phone while holding volume down , that should take you to flashmode

Then do what u need from there

how to update secondary roms
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RMT002:
Please help a n00b

When I initially read the OP I was pretty confident on what i was supposed to do

But then now that I have read through a lot of the posts I am utterly confused.

I could really use some help as I'm pretty new to the Xperia Custom ROM scene.

I wanted the Nougat AOSP Rom (which i am assuming is the one in the mega folder last updated on 3rd Jan 2017, in the nougat folder)

I am currently on rooted .291 MM with unlocked BL

And this is what i think im supposed to do to get this ROM

(please bare with me and tell me if I am wrong)

1)first go into fastboot mode on my phone and open cmd in the fastboot folder

2)flash the boot.img file only (that is found inside the rcstar20170103.zip)

3)flash the twrp3.0.0_sirius.img file which i found in the other folder.

4)twrp will now bootup automatically

5)wipe cache, dalvik, system

6)flash both the rcstar20170103.zip and the opengapps 7.1 zip

7) reboot

I know this is probably annoying to you guys and i really appreciate all the work you guys are doing but please help a confused n00b :crying:

Thanks in advance

and also someone said that after i flash the two files and reboot, i will lose twrp.

If that is the case how can i get twrp back if i want to flash something else?

(thanks again)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Austin.gonzo:
Flash the boot as :

Fastboot Flash Boot Boot.img

For Twrp :

Fastboot flash recovery (the name of the recovery).img

Hope I helped out :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Mohaned98:
After u flash recovery, u wont boot automatically into twrp

After u flash recovery do this in cmd

Fastboot reboot

Then press volume up repeatedly

That will take you to twrp

Reply to previous poster

So it's true that once I flash the ROM, I will lose TWRP ?

How do I get it back once I lose it ?

(In case I wanna flash more stuff once I have the ROM)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] DiogoSilva48:
No, you don't lose twrp.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Austin.gonzo:
Just do what I said in my previous post, and DON'T do it with capital letters..
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RMT002:
I didn't understand the color = silver part.

But thanks so much for the help!

From all the feedback it looks like the nougat ROM is completely stable and daily driver material (except for the camera blobs that are yet to come ) !

Can't wait to get back home and try it!

Thanks again!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Silver color is just residue of post divider. No concern is needed.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ajay1910:
TWRP will be lost.... but can be recovered easily.Once your phone bots up download the Rashr app from play store and also the TWRP in the mega folder.. copy the img file to internal storage and flash it using Rashr....worked for me on LOS, Carbon and AOSP... ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] akshay2shah:
For real ? Are u kidding ?

Using this rom for 3 months !

Never lost recovery after flashing rom !

Please dont spread wrong information if you are not sure what you are saying.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ajay1910:
Well..for you it didn't..... I lost it whenever I tried a new rom... So if some one lost it like me they can follow this.Might be helpful for others.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
You are going to lost TWRP after fresh installing a ROM and directly boot into it without manually flash the recovery yourself. The kernel provided by the ROM have no TWRP injected, you have to manually do it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] akshay2shah:
I know kernal has no TWRP injected.

Recovery is installed on recovery partition unlike marshmallow which is kernal injected.

When we flash zip via recovery (fresh install) then it patch only system partion.

Twrp stays intact.

Atleast never happened with me losing recovery.

P.S. i m talking about TWRP 3.0.0-0

U will lose 3.0.0-2 recovery when installing rom for first time !

Once u flash AOSP 7 Boot.img then marshmallow boot injected recovery will be gone.

And after flashing recovery.img to recovery partion then its permanently there.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
For me everytime I have to reflash it...

Despite the fact that theractically what you describing should be the truth.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] akshay2shah:
Yeah !

Now new build has newer script (atleast with pure nexus)

It flash boot.img and system.img as well.

So everytime u dont need computer to fastboot boot.img

Once u get 3.0.0-0 then its always there.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] RMT002:
Guys, i tried the rom and it works great

but it keeps saying the google play services are crashing

and not letting me log in

any fixes?

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

I fixed it using micro gapps.

The ROM is amazing!!!:victory:

But the camera is indeed in bad shape.

Fingers crossed for Alin to come through with the blobs.

Thanks again you guys.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mysubcult:
In last carbon rom it doesnt fixed too?

no we are planning something secret for lineage so please wait

i can build line age atm but it will have the same bugs as all other

yes no diffrence between all of them

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
No. You can flash as usual but after all you need to flash the universal baseband patch before booting back into system.

RyTekk is on the right way

I will not confirm everything until we choose the direction

Yes it should work out of box flash it

By we u mean alin jerpelia will also be working with u on it?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] akshay2shah:
Alin has nothing to do with it.

Rcstar and others will work on that.

And its still in concept. It will take time.

But anything is not sure at this moment unless developers makes it possible with their hard work.

No ETA !
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] wicozani:
This! I finally figured out my situation, had to flash a .291 ftf OS, and without root was able to follow the directions in the first post and now have a working rooted 7.1.1 OS with recovery! Thanks, rcstar6696! Oh, and I kept TWRP 3.0.0-0 (in OP) without having to reflash it.

I also installed a new 128gb micro-sd card with this update, and my phone asked me if I wanted to send all new programs to my SD card despite the manifest destination, which sounded like a good idea. However, almost all Google apps, banking apps, and quite a few others immediately forced close when trying to open them, but worked when I moved them back to the internal storage. Might check in Settings >> Apps >>Program >> Storage for where the program is located if you're having problems with it.

This nougat update has breathed new life into my Xperia Z2, giving it an extra year of life before I upgrade to an unlocked smartphone running a quad WHD display certified for Google VR, dual SIM w/ SD card, and bluetooth aptX variant.

Camera FV-5 work quite well

HI all,

FYI, I tried out Camera FV-5 out of curiousity with the PureNexus rom dt: 26Jan17. I found it works quite well with this rom.

Auto Focus, exposure control and many of the good features work without any issue, even macro mode , fine. Hope that helps others who need good options for camera.

best wishes.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Auto focus works fine? That's good news.

Can you post some sample here? Thanks.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] milindchitale:
hi here is an example screen shot off my pc.

Forgot to mention free app version only 2MP. will test it out more before going for the paid version to enable full resolution.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] wicozani:
Ok, so I just downloaded the Jan. 26 Pure Nexus.zip, placed on SD card, made a new backup in TWRP, and tried to install this update with the following result:
