I flash and it gaves me bootloop. in debloated, deodex .372.

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Acknowledged, thank you - will investigate as soon as time is available

need to triage - little time

ramdisk of 2 provided repackaged kernels on XDA resulted in either red LED flashing (not booting),

or phone and other apps constantly FC'ing and crashing.

Had to build a repackaged kernel with tobias.waldvogel's 5.11 rootkernel app myself,

that worked reliably.

Using this ramdisk the kernel didn't boot at first but after a bit of fixing did start to boot,

unfortunately it's not stable enough to fully boot into TWRP,

I'll see whether I find time to redo the kernel bump and see what changed from Sony's side,

this is a somewhat larger kernel source update (5.11 -> 372)

otherwise - Nougat Kernel is postponed

Thanks

Note:

Kernel pulled for now - Nougat kernel is postponed until further notice
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Glad I waited for a bit before going through the whole process of flashing new firmware and kernel.

I'm patiently staying tuned for a more stable N kernel though ;)

Hi, please add KCAL drivers on SunKernel :)

Thanks.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
We already have them
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] sceryavuz:
Did you tried or not? 376 not work..
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
You're referring to the nougat version?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] sceryavuz:
Yes. I am done with MM. 372 or 376 has KCAL drivers?

If you know how I add? Please help me..
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
had reboots on 2.6.5 t7 but still better dan t9 cos no heat up!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
I don't know what happened with Nougat,

but the built-in MHL driver panics the phone during boot-up of the OS (again)

I had this already in the past but managed to get it working (need to figure out what it was),

not sure what change is at fault here.

This happens with a fully patched up kernel (hint, hint) and with a pretty plain one (bare minimum) :mad:

[MENTION=5243932]Tommy-Geenexus[/MENTION]

you're right - someone should enforce Sony to provide a working kernel source and accurate instructions which can actually lead to a standalone built kernel with a toolchain (in contrast to the provided separated out Android.mk folders)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Im sure you will figure it out like you did before.

In the meantime I'm eagerly waiting for your first working Nougat kernel so we can move to Nougat and remove those crappy bloatware apps and start further tweaking on Nougat :D

Thanks for keeping us updated :good:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Haha, agreed,

the bloatware really sips the battery

Take a look at the usual Google Folder, btw

there are 376 kernels available

they need some good testing,

for certain users there might be still instabilities / issues with related to Bluetooth and car connection

but it's rather (too) hard to diagnose since this wasn't tested at the beginning of the inception of this kernel.

I meanwhile switched toolchain to Google 4.9 aarch64 to see whether this is improved and actually caused by using UBERTC or Linaro TC

There's also a new kernel source in the works which already boots (in-built MHL disabled, using prebuilt modules for now) but I won't do kernel dev for the next 2-3 weeks (or less) since I seriously need to focus on other affairs

The porting and tracking down of the issue of this kernel took several days which I need to play catch up now.

On a higher note:

Even with SE permissive Movies can be watched :p

Enjoy your Nougat experience :D
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Hey,

Thanks for your response.

I had no idea that there were Nougat kernels available in the google drive folder.

Sometimes its hard for me to keep up, and though I ideally like to try every new kernel, I do not always have the time to do this.

At the moment I have downloaded two kernels:

Z5_SK_Perm_v372_III.3_ctl_X_sum.zip https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BykGGWB96CBQNEdDSHI3T1ZRNkE/view

(This one I did notice before in your posts, but later on I saw that you had pulled this kernel).

and

Z5_SK_Perm_v376_III.3_3_ctl_X_sum.zip https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BykGGWB96CBQTGNaX24zVW5PVkk

(This one I didn't notice before yet).

So though I am willing to try to test both of them, I figure since you had pulled v3.0... then the latter one: Z5_SK_Perm_v376_III.3_3_ctl_X_sum.zip will be more stable correct?

I do not care about bluetooth or car issues since I never use these features.

Also I do not really care about a random reboot here and there, aslong as my phone doesn't continuously keeps crashing, making my phone unusable.

So if you could answer this for me:

With this kernel: Z5_SK_Perm_v376_III.3_3_ctl_X_sum https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BykGGWB96CBQTGNaX24zVW5PVkk

Would I be able to boot into my phone, be able to flash or atleast fastboot into recovery via adb, to attain ROOT by flashing SuperSU, so I can debloat the crappy apps that I don't use?

Today will be my day off so I have some time.

So I will wait for your answer and if you think I won't have too many problems with this kernel, I am willing to go all the way and start from scratch by flashing Nougat firmware and then Z5_SK_Perm_v376_III.3_3_ctl_X_sum.zip.

I already made a backup, so I am ready to go, just waiting for the green light :p

Thank you for your time and work mate :good:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
I do love to hear yur feedback buddy [MENTION=7328701]koekoek91[/MENTION]..... Cant wait to try N!

Just having bad net here, i need download N ftf also do yhu have deoxeded and superusermod?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Hey,

I have Customized Australian FTF + Z5_SK_Perm_v376_III.3_3_ctl_X_sum.zip kernel + SuperSU 2.79 SR3 ready to start flashing.

Just waiting a little bit longer for [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] to reply to my questions in post above.

I don't have deodexed yet, I want to just try first original firmware with Sunkernel and SuperSU.

I've only succesfully deodexed a ROM 1 time before and its been a while, so I would have to search a little bit to remember how to do it again.

Im sure [MENTION=6791680]_LLJY[/MENTION] will make deodexed when he comes with an update for SlimX and ROMX.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
i ll download tha ftf file now & required files..... but i saw a deodexed patch!

might download dat too & try.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
If you have slow download speeds on Flashtool/Xperifirm (like me sometimes), here is a link to latest Customized Australian FTF for Xperia Z5 (E6653) from my Google Drive ;)

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1-5Lr_Sntl5cEhfcVJ5S3pXeWs
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
thanks budy... gotten a g-drive mirror link from general section.....
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Yes, that should be the combination to use ;)

I'm using the Australian FTF myself
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
**** it.... gat slow network....

buh downloading tho.... 50kb/s:crying::crying:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Okay thanks.

Just one more question...

Which TWRP recovery can be used to flash / fastboot after flashing FTF and Z5_SK_Perm_v376_III.3_3_ctl_X_sum.zip?

Just the old one like before? Will it work?

Plans for today sort of changed so I dont have as much time as I firstexpected, so I dont feel like having to unbrick my phone because of using wrong TWRP lol :silly:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
doesnt tha kernel has TWRP included?

Power Button + Vol UP key should put yhu in recovery!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
That could be.

Im going to flash the FTF and kernel right now and see if I can get into recovery.

If not, I will wait for a reply from [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] to get some more info about this before I start flashing wrong TWRP and brick my phone :laugh::silly:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] the_brad:
You could try tobias.waldvogels root kernel tool to integrate twrp, btw. Did that here and there with zachs kernels, some time ago. On MM it worked fine ?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Thanks, ill look into that if the normal TWRP (v3.0.2) is a no go for Nougat according to Zach, and see how he is going about this.

But thanks for suggesting bro :good:

[MENTION=4471890]whalesplaho[/MENTION] [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] [MENTION=817586]the_brad[/MENTION]

Okay just finished flashing FTF and Z5_SK_Perm_v376_III.3_3_ctl_X_sum.zip kernel.

Here's my first short feedback / impressions :D

TWRP is included in the kernel. I was able to boot into TWRP straight away after flashing kernel. Good job!

I used SuperSU 2.78 SR5 to succesfully gain root. (thought I had 2.79 SR3 on my external SD but couldn't find it) so will update later.

The only issue that I noticed in such short notice is the device internal storage is only 16GB instead of 32GB.

I will see if I can fix this later, I know this issue can usually easily be fixed so im not worried about it. Just need to search some threads to see if I can get info about this.

Great job [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] !! I will report more feedback later after I spent some time debloating and using my phone the way I normally would :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
I tried and my phone is not vibrating when i unlock th phone with FP.

For me it shows 32 gb. Im using 376, debloated, deodex, superusermod and phh's superuser
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Just added some fingerprints aswell and for me it doesn't vibrate either.

For me its not a big deal though.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
No it isnt a problem. Nut it is a bug. I just want to said it. For now, nothing else
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
Still downloading.... Paused tha download since i left work, so i ll resume tomorrow. My office connection aint so good and has less speed.

I saw a superusermod and deoxeded zip in tha forum.... Downloading dem too!!! I heard phh superuser is advisable to be used dan supersu buh i prefer supersu.

@whalesplaho

I had a look at the link you posted... it seems to be just a pre-deodexed ROM?

Still pretty cool though, but i'd like to know where it came from and what exactly has been done with it before I would start using this, got any info on that? :p
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
A member posted it... Says he gat it from 4pda n its okay!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Ah its not a deodexed ROM.

I had a closer look. Seems like its more of a flashable zip (which maybe will deodex system partition?) I dunno, but it seems to fishy to try for me right now.

Maybe after I have setup my phone completely on Nougat and have done a backup, after that I might try it :p

Im almost finished setting up my phone for the most part, so then ill run a backup and see if I can flash this deodex zip to see what happens to the phone :silly:

Lets hope it won't explode or something :laugh:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
It wont buddy:laugh::silly:...... How far yhu kernel?

Reboots

Battery life??
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
So far it seems really stable.

No random reboots or heating issues as of yet.

Finished debloating (removed 111 apps, saved me about 800mb).

Also installed all my personal apps that I like, and fully configured my phone.

The only issue I'll have to fix tomorrow is that my internal storage is only 16gb instead of 32gb, but I don't blame the kernel and I'll fix it.

I've just charged my phone to 100%, gonna unplug now and go to sleep cuz I gotta get up in 5,5 hours.

I'll report more about the battery life tomorrow and do some experimenting with this mystery deodex zip :p

Good night :silly:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
Okay buddy.. Goodluck solving tha internal memory bug and share yur way out incase yhu gat. I ll continue to download tha FTF N ZIP file wen i get to work tomao... Good night buddy!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
I fixed it.

I couldn't sleep it was keeping me awake lol.

1. Booted into twrp.

2. Pressed wipe followed by advanced wipe.

3. Selected only data partition and pressed repair or change file system.

4. Pressed resize filesystem.

5. Swiped to proceed

Now I have back my 32gb :cool:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
Great..... A sound sleep shouldnt be too hard now!

Not happy i cant try N and Sunkernel yet. Waiting for morning so i can get to work n start downloading. Just hope it finishes today!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
[MENTION=4471890]whalesplaho[/MENTION]

My night was a bit short, but after I fixed the problem I did fall asleep pretty quickly :p

How's things going there with your download?:silly:

[MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION]

Some feedback about Z5_SK_Perm_v376_III.3_3_ctl_X_sum.zip

I didn't expect this kernel to be so stable.

I haven't really had any major issues so far. No reboots , no heating issues.

Here's my process of flashing and configuring my phone:

I flashed Customized Australian FTF, followed by the kernel and then went straight into TWRP and flashed SuperSU zip and rebooted.

Then I did some debloating, removed 111 crappy apps that I don't need, installed most of my apps back from a backup and configured my phone how i always do.

On to some feedback about things I have noticed / issues I ran into :

I did notice a couple of things, but I don't want to just simply blame the kernel for it...

- I do have some fc errors where I have to force close an app sometimes.

This mainly happens for me in the settings menu, mostly in the storage section but I had some other fc's aswell

One that I do see come by sometimes right after a reboot (not every time) is com.sony.mobile.rcahandler ( or something like this).

It could just simply be bugs from Sony, it could also have to do with my debloating maybe, this is why I won't just blame the kernel for it. Im just reporting it.

- Batterylife seems to be worse than expected (so far).

I left my phone charging for the night after I had played a little bit with it until 2-3 AM so when I woke up it was 100%.

Then I had breakfast, went to the train to go to school and in the meantime just did a little bit of chatting on whatsapp, not more.

Before I even got to my school, battery had already discharged from 100% to 87% (while all I did was responding to some chat messages on Whatsapp, and it was just couple of messages so not alot).

Today I had a rather unusual way of usage where I did maybe 2 or 3 reboots myself (not random) so these reboots account for a small portion of the battery discharge.

But apart from the reboots that I did, I mainly just used my phone for a little bit of browsing on XDA, Outlook email checking and whatsapp.

So I can't review the battery life very good yet, but something doesn't feel quite right to me.

Maybe I just have to let it settle, and it will become better and more stable, I don't know.

I added a screenshot, and what stands out most to me is that whatsapp is almost at the top of the list.

Where usually on Marshmallow it would be on the bottom of the list of apps, while having it used much more as I actually did today.

One more thing to note is I just noticed I haven't turned on stamina mode yet, maybe ill test again tomorrow with stamina mode on.

Hope this feedback is helpfull in some way ;)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
80%+ buddy..... im still downloading & ll test soon!

maybe we shud wait for Zack feedback also or try stock patched kernel.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Lol that's a bummer.

Nah I'm actually really happy with the kernel.

Just the battery life is not quite as expected (yet).

But it's to soon for me to blame the kernel for this.

Yes I'll be waiting to read zach's response :laugh:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
flashed....N sure looks great.

i havent flashed sunkernel yet, still on stock & battery doesnt great or maybe cos its still fresh. i removed facebook app & trying to install but cant,says already exist.

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

deodexed & superusermod..... but i get com.fingerprints.servicetext error but i made a deodexed zip for them again & IT WORKS!

FINGERPRINTS vibrate....
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Are you trying to reinstall Facebook after removing it or what are you trying to install?

I did an idle test last night.

Lost 8% in 8 hours lol :laugh:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
yeah, i removed it as a system app. deleted tha folders & i restarted den i try to install it as a 3rd party app but saying filename exist. check with Uninstaller app but cant find it.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] astalavista66:
Also flashed N and sunkernel. Looks like everything works like expected except Android RSAP. There seems to be a permission problem. Maybe it has to do with the system write permission which is not granted per default with nougat.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Are you using XDA labs?

It has a section where you can download apps.

Maybe you can try to install it from there and see if it works.

Just an idea :p
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
maybe i ll try from playstore and see......:highfive::good:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] L33Tgod:
That's bug, try doing this download lucky patcher, go to toolbox patch to android and choose 3rd option disable signature verification, and patch then try installing, if not then do factory reset.

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
yeap.... guess to save juice...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
No, i think is a bug. Cause nothing which have to vibrate, does. Its weird
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
Settings > sound and notification> other sounds

Check if vibrate in touch is on
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
I think he means other vibrations.

Like when unlocking with fingerprint.

Also there is no ability to vibrate when getting messages or calls.

There's just don't disturb (without vibration) or sound mode for receiving messages and calls.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
That is exactly what i was saying. Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
What is confusing about the first post ? :confused:

Open link to Google drive -> sort by date -> download -> Profit !

So it's a BUG in the ROM,

lol - sounds funny if it is.

Does this also occur with a repackaged Stock Kernel ?

Anyway,

can you guys please get into the service menu and do a test whether vibration *

in general

* is broken,

or there's something else going on ?

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] s.hossein:
I can't find vibration test in service menu.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Can't find any vibration test either.

But I'm fairly sure it's a ROM issue. Not 100% though :p
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
I dont think it is a rom bug, cause my phone vibration was working until i flash the kernel. I will try with androplus to see if it is a rom issue or e kernel and report back
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Okay, I could be wrong yes :p.

I plan to flash different firmware soon... customized DE or NL.

Just because I am from The Netherlands myself :laugh:

But yess... you will be faster and can let us know what happens on Androplus kernel so we can have a better understanding of what the problem is :p
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
I can confirm it is a kernel issue. With andro plus kernel the vibration is working.

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Thanks alot mate.

Just flashed it.

Vibration is working now :silly:

I think the sound was already pretty good.

Just an hour ago I listened on v3.3 to some music when I was in the shower. Sounded pretty damn good. Will listen again for improvements soon.

And just overal v3.3 was just already incredibly stable for such an early-state kernel.

More speed always good :silly:

Really doing some good work mate, and maybe Sony has improved themselves aswell? :laugh:
