That's strange. Besides the randoms reboots I was getting after installing the init.qcom.post_boot.sh for the wrong device, from [KERNEL][E6653/E6633/E6683] Zach's Kernel Playground for Z5, WIP (work in progress), which I've since replaced w/ the original one for v4.2.1 of this rom, thanks to [MENTION=3336974]-DM-[/MENTION], and having subsequently wiped my system partition and reflashed this rom, I just got my first random reboot w/ v4.2.1, after using this rom for over a month w/ no random reboots. The only other things I've done is install the De-bloat Script for Marshmallow .224 FW, which I had done after initially clean flashing this rom a month ago, and flashing the Bariol font from http://xdaforums.com/android/themes/fonts-flashable-zips-t3219827. Any suggestions as to why this would have happened? Thanks

The rotation suddenly stopped working?

I did some diagnostics and everything work (gyroscope and accelerometer) what 's wrong?

The rotation in Nova Launcher is activated and too in settings of the phone.

I wiped everything and went back to 4.2.1... because 4.0 has only a little bit better battery time but overheat the phon.If I exectute something that force the rotation like clash of clans the mobile rotates but stay in landscape mode, if I change the option and I force vertical mode in settings the mobile stay again but theres not autorotation...

Hi guys and gals... I also experienced random errors and problems on my E6653. I'm on 4.2.x rhe latest version. I accidently stumbled on a cure for almost all my problems. For some reason, SuperSU seem to be not functioning as it is supposed to. In certain cases or situations, you have no root access and in other cases, you do have. Open SuperSU and it looks fine. Check for root... You've got root. Still things just doesn't want to work the way it should... Until..... I booted into recovery and reinstalled SuperSU binary and guess what?..... Voilla!!! Eureka!!!! Everything, right through is working like clockwork. Precision clockwork I might say. And I have a lot installed... Xposed, tasker, whatsapp, wechat, rom toolbox, gravitybox, kmod, and many more. Sometimes you do something or install something and rhings go haywire.. Reinstall SuperSU and 8 out of 10 times, your problems are solved. Just thought I'd share this with you.

Greetings, [MENTION=2112104]auras76[/MENTION]

I'm writing this just to let you know that I've successfully built my very first custom ROM based on RomAur-v4.2.1. Technically, I borrowed your build.prop, update-script, and Aroma config as a template just to make my ROM flashable and I'm able to fresh-flash my device. Most of my system apps and priv-app has been debloated to bare minimum including all stock Sony apps, what left are just camera, play store, supersu, and settings. Basically, I'm planning to make a Google Edition ROM for Z5PD E6883 based on firmware .223 (MY) and removed all stock apps and include all Google's apps such calendar, chrome, messenger, calculator, etc. (with aroma to pick and choose) without any other third-party mods to keep it clean. I've always love a Nexus 6P because of its minimum-design and bloat-free ROM. I was inspired to make this when coming from the LG G2 Google Edition ROM. For now, the size is over 1GB+, I'm not sure how to minimize it but it worked flawlessly. I didn't mess with any apks and I don't have any FCs so far but planning to test it longer prior to it's release (if anyone interested; because there are so less development for our device in xda forum) but, again, I wish to tell you that I'm very new and this is my first ROM so I borrowed your ROM as my flashable template (the system folder is from stock firmware). Please let me know if you have any comments on this and I will not release it to public; just for my own use. Thank you!

p/s I'm not a native English speaker so it's a bit here and there. I'm happy as hell right now because you know, it's my first ROM and successfully flashed it on the E6883!!
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] adilsh:
seems nice, will you consider to make one for E6853? Thanks.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] Mobfigurz:
Guys, I have a big issue with the finger print scanner and other related suggestions are no good in this case as I do not believe it has anything to do with the ROM as I am still running v4.1 and this issue began a few days ago and is now a headache for me.

I used to have the finger print issue once a month or so after using YouTube but this is now happening every few hours and is due to something I installed recently, no mods of any kind just normal apps, majority of them were just updated Google apps.

Any permanent remedy for this issue? I never took a backup before updating apps, so cannot go back and eliminate which one is causing the issue.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] Magichp:
Sorry for the late answer, real life kicked in ;)

Apparently quite a lot of people have lost their recovery, it seems to be caused by flashing the kernel on top of it when they should be on different partitions., but I'm having a hard time believing that much people made the same mistake. So maybe there is more to it.

Did you flash those using fastboot? fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and fastboot flash boot boot.img ? That's the only way (that I know of ^^ ) to install everything properly.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] danw_oz:
Yeah same here, every day after charging over night the phone tells me that the fingerprint hardware is not available, and a reboot is required. This issue also seems to have started since I have got the sony rom update notification
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] sonyalmarshad:
thanx for the reply

i did for the recovery img through flashtool

and the rom throught twrp

then no more recovery:(
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] adondo:
Hey I was hoping to try out your ROM, I would easily would test it out etc
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] claesr:
looking forward for your rom, im really intressed in the google edition :) will you make for the 6853 version to?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] rcgkcl:
If you don't want to release it yet, you could try some private beta test... In that case... I'm willing to try your rom. :good: (E6883)
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] cglegion:
Hi guys, I was feeling overwhelmed by the feedback received herein. Thank you for your interest but please do not spam this thread with request for release of my ROM. The OP will not be happy with this because originally, I was trying to ask him for permission. Don't worry, I will PM all of you once it is ready to release (maybe in a week or so) after uploading the zip (managed to downsized the base to 700mb~; without the Google pack). I've finally learned how to repacked my own kernel with custom recovery and root. I've also learned to build my own Aroma installer from scratch, took me almost 3 days just to master it! So, it is no longer based on RomAur. I still gonna credit the author of this ROM because, it was my first stepping stone to build my own custom ROM. I referred a lot from his source codes for examples, this is what I like the most about Open Source and I hope to give back to the community soon once I'm ready. No ETA, but it will surface in the forum soon. Regards! :D
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] Magichp:
Same with the kernel?

The rom shouldn't be able to remove the recovery as I understand it, but the flashing of the kernel could.

[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] mrnygiants:
mdo you think it is because sony didn't include it in their newest phones, and didn't I read somewhere that it was patented here in the united states? so maybe the are deactivating all of the fingerprint readers in their phones?? All I know is that my fingerprint reader is now not working, i'll reboot and it will work for a few minutes, and then bam, doesn't work anymore.

[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] ugurylcn:
When it comes to the new update?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] CrisperNeO:
Hi guys above,

I strongly feel that it's related to Google Play Services, because I hadn't this problem before for a long time (have been on 4.2.1 for a long while). And the only thing that gets updated is the Google Play Services.

The issue happen to me almost once a day (not a couple of minutes). I have xposed + Amplify installed and have limited several Google Play Services related alarms. I'm guessing that the culprit is limited, therefore once it triggers alarm successfully, the fingerprint sensor is then gone.

I'll try to find out which one is the bad guy.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] md1982:
Can I jus flash this rom and keep my current kernel?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] -DM-:
You gonna have to reflash it as the rom has one included already...no guarantee that whatever kernel you're using now won't bug up with this rom though
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] md1982:
Does the kernel flash automatic on it then I'm on xpower 3.0 at the moment so same fw I like the stock kernel jus not the rom both roms have aroma so don't know if I can flash just the kernel from xpower
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] -DM-:
Don't know anything about xpower, I'm on a completely different device (E6853) than you apparently...

RomAur kernel that is included is just a repacked stock kernel based on fw 32.2.A.0.224 with disabled dm_verity, selinux enforcing and Drm fix (that's from the info in the op)

So if xpower is using a repacked stock as well, this one should be pretty much the same... Can't really tell you what it is as I'm on a custom kernel with this rom right now....

But you can do a full backup of your rom with twrp then flash RomAur and restore boot from your backup...

Or you can swap the boot.img from xpower zip with this rom zip...

Or extract boot.img from xpower zip and fastboot the img

Or you can be wild and try/test a bunch of different custom kernels ;)

Edit: yes the kernel will be flashed at the same time with the rom....and by the way the boot.img is located in the zip inside aur/device/e6xxx(whatever your device is)
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] md1982:
Iv got that device too I'm using my z3 compact for xda I will try ur suggestion thanks mate
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] kiritoxda:
Hey its me from the other thread, any luck on finding the culprit? right now im using BBS to find out which alarm gets pinged from Google Play service. Since BBS list the number of times an alarms pings from a certain service, all i have to do is wait till the issue occurs and the one that pings 1 time would most likely be the culprit. i have to wait about 16 hours to find out.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] CrisperNeO:
I'm going on the same approach ;) No luck with the service method.

I use Amplify as well, just to compare, i think BBS would be enough.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] kiritoxda:
Im using amplify too + xposed, i had a bunch of alarms amplifyed using a guide i found online. anyways, were you using Amplify to detect alarms or BBS? The fingerprint issue occured a few hours ago for me but since my phone was charging i couldn't check the alarm logs from BBS since BBS stops/resets the log every time you charge the phone.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] CrisperNeO:
In the case of charging, Amplify can help. But BBS is better for monitoring.

---------- Post added at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 AM ----------

From the thread in Z5 forum I read that the people got this problem solved using the newer .253 stock rom / stock-based kernel. Supposedly something is in conflict between the .224 base and new Google Play Services...

I don't want to use stock rom. Stock-based kernel is ok. However I tried to install stock-based kernel for my E6883 from the neighbor thread upon my Romaur 4.2.1, I got bootloop. Reverted back to Aur kernel 4.0.

Perhaps the best solution would be to wait for [MENTION=2112104]auras76[/MENTION] to come back and release newer version (.253 based) of his rom and kernel ;)

In the meanwhile I continue to try the Alarm approach...

Installed this rom on my phone and been using it for over a few weeks. This rom has gave me a bunch of freezing issues as well as random reboots. I did not install a custom kernel because I believed the rom comes installed with a custom kernel. Does anyone else suffer from freezing/rebooting issues? Would installing the fw224 stock kernel help fix this?

My headphone jack is working fine, but when my phone was new I was having so many weird issues with my headphone jack. I thought it was defective but was too lazy to get it replaced. Then it randomly started working perfectly fine and has been fine since.

Does urs like disconnect and crackle as you wrote the plug of the headphones? Thats what mine did? Is it wet mine usually doesn't work until its 100% dry.

Just to report back for anybody who is still having "fingerprint hardware not available" issue:

In another thread in Z5 forum (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68299976&postcount=165) there was a solution proposed, and it works for me so far:

This seems really to be fix. Havent got the fingerprint problem ever since (should have already had several times, based on the experience in the last weeks). It also solves the youtube video issue.

In addition I found a thread on this on Z2 forum: http://xdaforums.com/xper...t3290793/page2

Seems to be a bug regarding unlocked bootloader or similar. Don't know what the files really do. But based on knowledge that people solved this with newer .253 ROM and kernel (rootkernel), perhaps SONY has already done something there. Perhaps anybody can check his .253 ROM?

Anyway, thanks to [MENTION=7678102]depotjam[/MENTION].

It's something prorietary from Sony maybe.

Could be with QSEE TrustZone Application

Hi! I can confirm that this solves the fingerprint hardware issue. I've not faced it for the past 2 days and hopefully, the status quo will remain. Thanks a ton!

However, I'm being slapped with random freezes after modifying those files. They are not completely random, though. Seem to be happening the most while using WhatsApp. Will keep you guys posted.

"fingerprint hardware not available"

I have done following steps in roder to get the fingerprint hardware on my E6683 back to normal:

* flash stock .253 firmware by FlashTool

* let the ROM boot fully,

* flash TWRP recovery,

* wipe system, data, cache&dalvik from TWRP recovery,

* flash RomAur 4.2.1,

* flash Zach's latest kernel .253.

Thats it. Now I'm not having any issue with fingerprint hardware.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] Nibleheim:
This was the greatest fix known to man, once it came out I was super stoked. Fingerprint Reader was driving me banananas.

Call me a nub I think I did it right by researching, but by "Full Wipe of Aroma" What does that exactly mean? I think I'm not having any issues, but I just want to make sure I'm using the most optimized version as I do see a few things that do not operate as well as stock - be it just a few things that in no way would make me go back given what I get from installing this rom.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] endebe:
Not really annoying, but i have some issues, without possibility to monitor the log until now. Could also be some App-Update.

Sometimes i couldn't answer phone-calls. Reboot helps.

Sometimes i get freezes, but this could also be some app.

In general i can say the fix helped me since i used. No "no fingerprint hardware".

In my normal use, no big problems. Only as i wrote above.

[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] Nibleheim:
I have a lot of troubles with my phone not waking from sleep. It just stays black and I have to Power+Volume to restart to get it going again. I need the phone to be reliable for my work, so I can't be having it randomly turning off in my pocket.

I have Xposed, Clarity, Gravity Box, and App Settings from that. I'm pretty sure I wiped everything I needed to, but "A Full Aroma Wipe" Is very Vague, if you could be more specific I could try again but I don't like wiping system files I don't need to... Hard Brick Scary for a phone I bought overseas...
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] dceightfive:
Hi Nibleheim,

I had this exact same issue, and on my previous Z5P[EU] it completely bricked the device, sent it back for repair and they were unable to revive it, so I was given a replacement under warranty.

I thought it was probably just the device as it seems Sony devices seem to have a lot of problems similar to what we experienced, but however upon receiving the new device[EU] and flashing RomAur on it, the same problem arose, although never bad enough that I couldn't Power+Volume to get it working again.

It was happening at least 2-3 times a day, and particularly when something that might tax the cpu/gpu was happening or the phone got a little warm.

I have now reflashed the stock rom using flashtool and have absolutely no problem, also the fingerprint scanner works 100% of the time which is a bonus.

It is a shame as I really like RomAur, but I will have to stay away from it until a few updates roll out, and it seems a bit more stable on my device.

Hope this helps.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] Nibleheim:
Well, that's scary. Especially since I've already sent one back and I'm in the USA and mine is from Tawain and it took 5 weeks to get it back last time, and I'm not sure if they'd give me another... It also cost me like $80 in shipping. Goodbye RomAur :(
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] ziemny:
Too bad there's really no alternative for RomAur. The dev section's been dead for a while now...
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] Nibleheim:
It's a pity, this phone is the only available 4k Phone and while it has limited uses, I still would like to get the most out of it...
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] -DM-:
Nothing wrong with RomAur, been using it since March and the last version 4.2.1 is rock stable, never had a single freeze/reboot since installed months ago... Try using a different kernel with it, I highly recommend the latest Zach's Kernel and you'll gain better battery life overall...

close to 6 hours of SOT with medium usage in my case...

In the event that you're still not happy with this rom, you can check XZrom in the Z5 thread as it's compatible with the Z5p as well....I tried it a few times along the way, but I always came back to RomAur as it's more to my style, but nonetheless it's a pretty good rom and it might be to your liking....

Also keep an eye on those 2 threads, this one is brand new and only for the Z5 at the moment, but Wolfbreak is an excellent dev and makes incredible roms and he will make it compatible with the Z5p soon or later....and also this one, only for the Z5 also at the moment but Pandemic (another excellent dev) will make it compatible for the Z5p soon or later as well....those are brand new roms at the moment as those 2 devs just moved from the Z3 to the Z5 so I'll keep on looking over there to see what's cooking....
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] CrisperNeO:
Can't agree more...

Stability and battery life are the priority to me. RomAur fulfil them.

I have bootloop with Zach's kernel though, so I stick to Aur kernel, and it's also very good. Rock stable (with the workaround for the fingerprint sensor issue) and the battery life is excellent, two days of standby (that's right, 48 hours) with 4:30 SoT. Max SoT has been 8 hours. And it's not from a fresh new installation, it has already tons of apps in it.

We can't expect much more, can we?

For those who are experiencing blackscreen or hanging issue, try to install the ROM in a totally clean way (with stock ROM first), everything should be ok then.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] _LLJY:
We respect your choices, everyone has the right to pick which ROM they want. There is no "best" rom, that is subjective. Whatever users want to use is up to them. :good:
