As I said before I'm using the systemless root method by [MENTION=357342]tobias.waldvogel[/MENTION] so all the SuperSU files are in the read only ramdisk, unlike the official SuperSU systemless installation that uses /data/su.img

Thought I'd reply to this so new users don't get confused by what you're saying because flashing SuperSU in TWRP will likely cause problems as it's using a completely different method, hope this explains better :)

This has happened to me using flashtool to flash a stock firmware before, my internal storage changed to 8gb, backup any data you need to your sdcard and/or computer, then format data in TWRP and reboot :) this should fix it.

will this work for z5 compact

Guys!

Will this rom work for z5 compact? I have used Wajks´s slimm rom for my z3c and i noticed that it was the same zip used for z3 and z3c.

So that is why i am asking....:)

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Klaus N.:
No, it's not for the Z5C. (Btw., Wajk has made SLiMM for the Z3 and for Z3C, but it's not the same flashable zip for both devices!)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] torben5247:
Ok, thanks for your answer Klaus n.

It was the ota zip files for z3 and z3c that was the same, somehow the firmware for these phones are very close to each other. But i will stick to my power4.0 for my z5c. ;)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
This always shows up as .224 ND
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] celderic:
Haven't been very active lately because i've been playing around with AOSP

If anybody is interested in testing, i've just compiled 6.0.1 from source, all previous bugs i found seem to be fixed :)

Snapchat is even working, 5ghz wifi is too.

The only bugs that i've noticed are the occasional screen flickering on boot, and the fingerprint sensor stops working when it feels like it ;)

Here it is -

Some feedback would be great :) Although we shouldn't go too offtopic and clutter this thread, so reply via PM if you can please.

(didn't think it was worth it to make a whole new thread for this test build)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Barthlon:
about fingerprint scanner not working:

there is a post somewhere around here where it states to remove or rename 5 files:

/system/etc/firmware/tzwidevine.***

i did this and after this i had NO issues whatsoever. dunno if these files are available on aosp, but you can give it a try ;)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] celderic:
I will look into it thanks :) But I think it is a deeper issue as when it does work on my AOSP build it stays active even when the screen is off, instead of on stock where it turns off until you press the power button to turn the screen back on. I'm not sure if this is intentional and it is something else causing it to stop working, it seems as if the sensor turns off when the screen does sometimes and doesn't come back on
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
It's intentional because Android intends for the sensor to be at the back or the home button so that it's convenient but not so much for the power button. As seen on Nexus phones, it unlocks even when the screen is off.

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] JonesWTF:

Well this rom is outdated, flash slimx instaed
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Barthlon:
you won't like slimx (unstable feature packed) if you like slim stock (rock solid debloated).
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] celderic:
Had a very busy few months sorry guys, updating to 32.2.A.5.11 as i type this, should be up tomorrow hopefully :)

(waiting until more testing has been done on 7.0, and for the stock UK firmware to be released)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] JonesWTF:
How's the testing of your 5.11 rom going?

I'm happy to help give it a test drive and report back, if you'd like?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] celderic:
Finished i think, i've been using it for almost a week with great performance

Not sure if this is related to the stock rom or if i've done something to cause it but i'm having problems with the fingerprint sensor and now my phone doesn't detect the sensor at all and there is no option for it in the settings.

Problem started straight after changing the drm fix i was using to a different version, going to do a full wipe soon and see if it helps

i'll let you know
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] umargillen:
Can't wait for 5.11 :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Hey could someone please pm me the ims.apk?

I badly need one for testing but I haven't the heart to wipe my current rom
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] timmygadget:
Any news on updates, your rom is my preferred choice. If there is no more updates is there a possibility of extracting your bloatware script and applying it to newer stock roms?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] lionelbac:
That would be great
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Linshart:
i know, this is an old rom and thread, but i have to stay on android 6 for an app from work that gives errors of some missing libs in 7.xx roms, so i installed this rom, and i can´t update my su binary :( the superSU Pro App can´t do it, and i flashed mayn different superSU zips. none is working, perhaps for the kernel!? Any idea how i can get my su binary updated?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] celderic:
I'm not sure what else to suggest as I'm not having this problem and I don't think anybody else running this rom is either.

40degrees is fine, it doesn't throttle until much higher.

Do different kernels make it better or worse? For example if you're running stock now and change over to androplus does it make a difference?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] hug42:
It's the same problem if I flash another kernel
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] celderic:
If nobody else is having the issue, changing kernels and fully wiping your phone doesn't fix it then it sounds like a hardware problem to me.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] hug42:
It's not a hardware issue because the camera app and third party app works fine on stock firmware, i will try to restore my e6653 via Pc Companion and then, reflash your rom :)

EDIT : a restore with PC Companion with a full wipe including "/data/media" resolved the bug :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] gm007:
lol how did you restore with pcc if you have unlocked bootloader?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] hug42:
I don't understand?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
I think i know which is the problem, cause i flash via flashtool and before slim rom. Everything was going fine until i flash androplus kernel, now i try with romaur kernel and i will comment. It looks like its a problem related to the kernel. Im talking the bug with the camera
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] hug42:
Viper audio doesn't work with this rom? I have no effect

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

I'm not sure it's the kernel because I have the AndroPlus kernel on my device
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
So.. Wich is the problem, cause im using slim rom without andro and i dont have anu problem, i will try now to flash androplus or auraskernel. Just to try any variant.

Edit: i just flash the kernel from zacharias.maladroit. And the problem appears again. I dont know why its caused
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] isito84:
Support "stylе case" scr42?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] hadec:
sorry for this question but why is it worth it to have stock kernel?no bugs for camera?

and also can i flash that stock kernel on my stock system?(stock marsh rooted but androplus kernel)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
Someone are afronting the bug of the camera, but i dont know why, and others arent have it. Yes you can flash andro in your stock if you have the unlocked bootloader
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] hadec:
I got andro kernel and i.wanna flash this stock rooted on my stock system
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
Do it, its a very good rom. And you have to try with andro if you have the problem or not.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] hadec:
Maybe u didnt understood me.

I got sony z5 stock marsh and i wanna flash this stock kernel only instead on the andro plus i got...thats my point kernel not rom buddy

By the way, I found my image stabilization for the video camera was not working especially the special Sony one but I flashed the drmrestore.zip from here (http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/development/sony-credentials-restore-unlocking-t3296383) and it worked and I can now get that video stabilization feature back just FYI :) This ROM is working great as well, thanks. Am running AndroKernal v22 for now and it works fine. I had to get and flash the stable SuperSU zip from here v2.65 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053) straight after I flashed AndroKernel to maintain root functionality though. Flashing the Androkernel zip by itself seemed to break the root.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] paulle:
how to flash

Everybody seems to know how to flash this: https://mega.nz/#F!TJE1xKoC!00TVoaucJDvENzXbjsVWzg and I'm the only noob, sorry for this.

There are two files boot.img and 32.1.A.1.163_Kernel_TWRP-v3.0.0-0.zip.

My z5 has mm6.0 and bootloader is unlocked.

Have I first to flash the boot.img via fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img)?

And second the zip-file? How to do it? Because twrp seems to be inside the zip.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] roland101:
Ok so, the boot.img and zip file at kind of the same thing. The boot.img is the kernel and TWRP recovery for those that don't have TWRP recovery installed. If you do have TWRP installed then all you have to to is flash the zip from TWRP and that will install the same kernel as the boot.img as well as root via systemless root SuperSU v2.65 and TWRP recovery (again :S). As you do not have TWRP installed you will need to reboot your Z5 into fastboot (can be done by running "adb reboot bootloader" when phone is on or by holding down Vol-UP when plugging in USB to PC and with phone off). Then run "fastboot devices" to check your device appears. Then, if it does, run "fastboot flash boot boot.img" with the boot.img file being in the root dir of your fastboot file of course. This should flash TWRP recovery to your phone and install the modified stock kernel. Then you'll be able to get into recovery by rebooting phone by running "fastboot reboot" then turn the phone off. Then unplug USB cable and reboot phone by holding power button like normal. As soon as the LED light turns yellow press volume up buttom and you should (fingers crossed) boot into TWRP. This is pretty sure how I did it. Then you'll need to plug in USB cable and it should appear as a storage device on your PC and copy across the ROM's zip file and the kernel zip file to the device and flash the ROM zip first and tap through the installer and then flash the kernel zip (32.1.A.1.163_Kernel_TWRP-v3.0.0-0.zip). Then reboot and you should boot up into the new rom with the SuperUser app and a working root. I have gone back and forth to get Superuser alongside the AndroPlus Kernel since I did this but I am pretty sure this is how I did it in the first place. Anyone please feel free to correct me, I am by no means an expert at this but hope it helps.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] paulle:

Having some bugs now with stock sms app, when receiving mms pictures it mixes with mms pictures from other senders. Flashed this in twrp over the first release, also done a factory reset (witch fixed camera bugs). Also when restarting I get sony RCA handler crash.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] paulle:
When restarting I get sony RCA handler crash too. What is the RCA handler doing or needed? Because the ROM works fine for me.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] celderic:
Really busy this week with work, not had time to update this thread or work on the rom.

I had the rca handler crash a few days ago and have noticed some minor things that I need to correct, I know the problem and I will fix it soon :)

Also someone asking about the Sony cover case, I'll add that too.

Sometime next week as I'm still using this as a daily driver with the stock kernel :) no noticeable bugs when in use.

The sms issue [MENTION=5473903]asjstian[/MENTION] is experiencing, I haven't had myself but I will test and see as I don't use mms messages because they are expensive on my carrier.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] paulle:
You can use signal (look in playstore), you can do the same as with mms but it costs nothing (mms at least in my country is expensive).

Somebody has used an ext-formated sdcard with marshmallow or this ROM ?

I did it with a z1c and cyanodenmod 12.1 and it worked fine.

Now with the z5 it doesnt work, but I don't know the reason. Maybe the card is faulty. Don't know.

Anybody used the vlc-player for video and/or music ? On the z5 vlc crashes all the time on the z1c vlc plays all file formats without any problem .

Edit: the card is defect

format of external sdcard ext4

I have ROM E6653] [6.0] 32.1.A.1.163 Slim Stock installed on my xperia z5. Now I wanted tu use an external micro sdcard. Before I had a z1c with external sdcard too (running cm12.1). In the z1c the external card was formated with ext4 and everything was running fine without problems. Now with the z5 my extermal sdcard is not showing up when formated with ext4, I had to format it with fat32 to access it.

Why? Is it because only cyanogemod (12.1) will read and write ext4-cards or is it because cm12.1 is lollipop and E6653] [6.0] 32.1.A.1.163 Slim Stock is marshmallow? Can't find the reason for this behaviour. I "googled" around, but I didn't an explication for this. Any ideas/hints? thank you
