Just to give my 2 cents as comment on the latest CM13 rom version:

The latest rom 13 from Berni with lineageos appears to be working the best. Had terrible call echo in the latest CM13 rom and the rom itself felt "laggy", but this lineage rom appears to be in good working shape :)

I recently got myself this xperia z5c where my previous phone was a xperia z3c. However I do miss some features which i really liked with my CM13 on my z3c , mainly if i press my volume up or down i had the option to select an "do not disturb" feature for an adjustable amount of time and there was an option to quick unlock the screen after entering my pincode (don't need to press the Ok button after correct pin code).

Also the fingerprint sensor fails or doesn't seem to have this option availably in this rom version ...

For the rest the rom seems to be pretty descent and usable ...

Don't get me wrong, just wanted to mention the features i used on my previous phone and which i miss in the newer rom versions of this phone

I also installed the cm14.1 rom which seems to be verry promissing. It only misses some features like wifi which makes the rom not usefull for daily usage so i went back to the 13 roms

Is there by the way a newer rom version than the lineage_13_0_20170104_UNOFFICIAL_suzuran ??
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
I'm working on it... It's not that easy...
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] IGNNE:
Hi, I need (want ;)) to recompile my kernel with some additional things (full cgroup stuff / whatever's needed for lxc). I'm fine with Linux itself, but I am a bit lost when it comes to Android... Could someone post the kernel config that is used for this rom?

I admit I am too stupid to find it myself. Thanks! :D
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
If you downloaded the full repo's, then you will find this file in ~/<your-work-directory>/kernel/sony/arch/arm64/configs and it's name is aosp_kitakami_suzuran_defconfig
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
No improvements, sorry. Everything is working, except fm-radio, fingerprint sensor and voice-calls over bluetooth (and maybe some other things I've never tested or missed). And there is an echo on the other caller-side. With that I can live...

But voice-calls over bluetooth is something I really need. But I have no idea where to search. :eek:

If anyone can give me a concrete hint... ;)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berlambert:
Hi,

I test this rom and I can't recording video:

my camera crashed with error " can't connect ... "

Secondly, it's for the echo on the other caller-side

there are issues for this ? Or dévelopments are closed and it's better to try lineage 14 for this phone ?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
With which version? Because, I can record videos...

That's known. I have no idea how to fix it, sorry.

LineageOS is on base of 6.0.1. Since Nougat is out, there are some people trying to build a working rom on nougat base. By now, wlan isn't working. Please have a look at their thread.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
I'm actually playing around with 13.0 and trying to use a selfmade vendor-tree like it is used at LinageOS for sumire (Z5).

I got this rom built but there is no SIM card detected and wlan is not working.

If someone could give me a hint (for SIM card detecting)...

Check out

https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...mmit/ae88da499d3cb0de468a3fd919829d1d28d2e626

might help

Are you using AOSP or stock blobs?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
I'm using stock blobs from an existing system.ext4 file for 6.0.1 (E5823_32.2.A.5.11)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
Do you have the correct proprietary files in "vendor/sony/suzuan"?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
I think so. I had a look at sumire's files and adopted it to suzuran. For that I used "extract-files.sh" in the device tree and eliminated missing or wrong (placed) files. With that the vendor files are created.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
That's weird then

Just to confirm the proprietary files should be the exact same as this:

https://github.com/nzzane/lineage_device_sony_suzuran/blob/cm-14.1/proprietary-files.txt

Although I still don't have WiFi or nfc working
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
I know your work. But there is something I don't understand: At line 838 you have a

bin/tad_static

but in the original rom there is no file tad_static... :confused:
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
Oh yes, tad_static is inside the ramdisk, check /sbin

Either unpack the stock kernel and inside the ramdisk, or /sbin
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
Hmmm. I only searched in the system.ext4 file. Thanks...
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
No worries, might help with some of your issues
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
Ok, these are the files that I can't find.

bin/tad_static
lib64/lib-preload64.so
vendor/lib64/libril-qc-ltedirectdi
vendor/lib64/librilqmiservices.so
vendor/lib64/libsettings.so
vendor/lib/libmmcamera_pdaf_v3.so
vendor/lib/libril-qc-ltedirectdisc
vendor/lib/librilqmiservices.so
vendor/lib/libsettings.so

I'm using this rom for my z5c: E5823_32.2.A.5.11_1298-1220_R2C

And I extracted every file from this rom that contains an ext4 file.

Where is my fault?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
Lib-preload64 is https://github.com/TheMuppets/propr...m-14.1/ivy/proprietary/lib64/lib-preload64.so

Not actually on the stock device

Tad_static should be in /sbin of your device (unpack the kernel and have a look in the ramdisk)

The others I am not too sure about in all honesty, but the two mentioned above should be the main ones you need
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
My fault is found; it's simple: All files except tad_static are part of nougat. So I can't use them for a mm based rom.

And tad_static is found in the unpacked kernel.elf. In Germany we say: "Den Wald vor lauter Bäumen nicht sehen!". This is not translatable, but it means to see nothing with open eyes...

Thanks a lot for your help.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
Here is my latest build dated 27. march 2017. Not very much improvements, but there is a security patch level dated 01. march 2017... ;)

As usual, fingerprints, fmradio, voice calls over bluetooth and nfc are not working! No way... :(

I'm using this rom as daily driver, because the general bluetooth function works much more stable than in stock rom! I.e. hearing music and getting navigation informations in conjunction on my bike are working fine and the music player is not crashing after a navigation info. At all tested stock roms it crashes often while doing that. Now and then the bluetooth connection to my headset is lost completely so I have to reactivate it while driving... :eek:

All this is now gone with my LineageOS build :good:

Try it at your own risk!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] miir01:
"Den Wald vor lauter Bäumen nicht sehen!" => Can't see the wood for the trees. ;)

Thanks for all your work for the community. Cheers.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Macsek:
Thanks for both ROMs, Berni-0815.

I loved CM ROMS in the past, this one is close: fast enough, good general usage, but I have experienced random reboots now and then, had too low volume problems in phone sometimes, camera ceased to start half of tries. I will try another ROM. (definitely not LineageOS as non-working WiFi is a deal breaker for me)

I hope you continue supporting these ROMs and somehow all faults will be solved.

Friendliche Grüße
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
Here is my latest build dated 07. April. Very few changes, but the caller volume is much higher than before.

And I used another driver for wlan and bluetooth... ;)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berlambert22:
Hi Berni and thank for the link,

I try this rom lineage-13.0-20170407 in your link,

All it's good for me exept an echo on the other caller-side

Do you have a soluce for this ?

Or other rom type lineage13 ?

May be editing the mixer path.xml ?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
The echo on the other side is a known problem and I have no idea how to solve it. I tried using the stuff from LineageOS 14.1 but with that I can't build a rom successfully.

Therefore I stopped working on this rom. For doing more I have not enough knowledge about android development.

Sorry... :crying:
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] bizon1:
Hi, could somebody create port of cm13 camera with all required libs and blobs to stock rom? It's a bit weird because my camera did't work (it can't focus at all even with restored TA, after module replacement) on stock rom and lineage which have stock based camera. On cm13 camera is working fine. I would like to have a stock rom with working camera. Please help.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] umz_786:
Hey guys

i got a Z5C and wanted to ask how the development of CM13 is coming along? Is the rom being updated regularly to try and get to a RC or stable build? I want to use it as my daily

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Marco20:
Rom is outdated and not supported anymore. Try lineage os.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
This one
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] umz_786:
Thank you for your replies. My issue is that I don't want to upgrade to Nougat until Xposed is available on it. Therefore Im trying to find a Marshmallow or even Lollipop build for the Z5C that I can use as a daily.

Are the only issues with this ROM the camera and video ones as stated below:

Laggy back camera

Video Recording on stock camera app (Use alternative)

Does everything else work apart from these 2 issues? And will I be able to solve the issue of laggy back camera by using a third party camera app as well?

TIA
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
There are a few things that are not working. I.e. Fingerprint reader, fmradio and voice calls over bluetooth. I don't remember all of them. And there is an echo on the other caller side.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] gregzeng:
Just bought my wife a second-hand z5-compact from an eBay dealer (Australia, ex-Telstra branded). It upgraded to ROM twice, via home wifi network. Now using the official Telstra ROM: Android 7.0 ... so no need for further ROM upgrades? Perhaps try rooting now?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
Yesterday I've built a new version. No improvements, but the security patch level is july 1st 2017!

I've taken a picture with the "stock" camera app. Here it is...
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
Double post, sorry...
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
Here is my latest version of this rom for those who don't like nougat and/or want to use the XPosed framework which is not working very good on nougat based rom's... (i.e. XPrivacy is NOT working at all!)

No improvements, but the android security patch level is 1 october 2017.

The rom is rooted (see attached picture). No need to flash SuperSU or any other superuser app.

Here you can see a list of changes since the past four months. (The file is too big to include it here directly)

Excellent ROM- thanks for your great work. What is the correct procedure for updating from a previous build and keeping settings/apps? Reboot to recovery/flash rom and..? I wiped dalvik/cache in wipe/advanced before flashing and also did the same after and it broke my xposed and made play store crash. Also Androplus has released v22 of his Kernel. Is it OK to update to his latest Kernel too?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Meonys:
I have one problem after update. Play Store shut down when I try to open it, for now it is only app that I can not run.

I wiped dalvic and cache before updating and reinstalled google apps.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] clubvybe:
Same here, also did a fresh install of new (cm-13.0-20160327-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-smultron.zip ) CM13 on my ST15i and have the same problem, playstore and play services keep on crashing. Using other gapps on legacyxperia so the problem seems to be the latest CM13 sources. On Z5C I am going back to the last ROM for now [MENTION=7168283]2016[/MENTION]0324.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] SNWK47:
I have never rooted any of my earlier devices, Is it better to wait a couple of weeks before I void the warranty?

I've had to send my device to repairs four times already and I'm not sure If I could provide useful feedback.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Meonys:
I am not sure how is it for Xperia Z5 bud when I had Nexus it was possible to get all things back to normal.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] CTXz:
Did you flash pico? If so, try nano please. You also have to wipe all partitions mentioned in the guid. You MUST flash gapps with CM!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] clubvybe:
I reverted back to 20160324 rom and latest opengapps pico 03/27 and no issues at all. Judging by the same playstore/play services crash manifesting itself on todays legacyxperia CM13 release with mdpi gapps I can only assume the issue is with the latest CM13 source. I can wait a few days to flash the next great release :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Meonys:
I just did all as sad in tutorial and have another problem. After boot I get message that playstore service crash it self. Problem was on pico, nano and mini GAPPS.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Check if Google Playstore, Framework, Play Services etc

have permissions - then restart
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] CTXz:
It's a cm source issue. Maby devices have it now :/
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Meonys:
Yes I checked before and all I found have permitions.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] daanwassenaar:
So is this rom good enough for daily use yet? No need for camera or nfc but GPS, phone and a decent battery usage are most important for me. My main reason to use CM is in fact the absence of gapps. Fdroid provides a lot of good apps.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] rigidmoose:
In my experience, I would say yes, once GAPPS issue is fixed.

I used GPS the other day to help me get home from Charlotte and I had no issues with that. However, after a while, the phone became incredibly laggy in an increasing way until it actually crashed LOL. But I haven't tried the latest build, which claims to fix that. If it does, then in my opinion, it's good enough to be a daily driver for me as everything that's super important works (except GAPPS crashes the device, which is a deal breaker for me right now).
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Meonys:
Yes it is, only problem for me are GAPPS but nothing more. And last update fixed problem with lag.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] CTXz:
Good news, bluetooth fix is incoming. After next release I'm most likely make the guide on how to build from source
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
How's camera output ? Does it work basically ?

With AOSP it was unusuable since colors weren't overlapping ...
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Meonys:
Yes it is working normaly. When I open the app colors are bad but photo it self is good.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Is there an (working) FM radio app in CM ?

Don't tell me there is - because if yes you wouldn't be able to stop me to migrate ASAP :D
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] CTXz:
Afaik there is one, but it doesn't get build since our hardware doesn't support it
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Yeah, which would be a shame,

Sony better up their game again, glad that [MENTION=359497]jerpelea[/MENTION] helped in the past:

[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] kaneco_riot:
hello,

first of all thanks to everybody for your amazing work on the z5 compact.

i will get this phone soon and i am following the aosp/cm progress closely.

there is this one thing that got me wondering, what is the difference between these two repositories ? ...

github...com/Sony-Kitakami/android_device_sony_suzuran

github....com/sonyxperiadev/device-sony-suzuran (sorry it doesn't allow me to post links)

following jerpeleas open devices project thread, joeisgood99's aosp build thread and this one, it seems to me that some fixes are made in either one repository exclusively, or at least exclusive to a certain project.

anyway thanks again for your efforts. it's really a shame that it is so hard to actually use phones based on this open source android without proprietary software...
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
In a nutshell: adaptations to get it working with CM (when coming from AOSP)

Sorry if I over-read any statements regarding this question:

Is there any binary driver or software module that prohibits i.e. the fingerprint reader from working with CM13? Or, your time and hacking efforts provided, is there a real chance that everything on the phone should work at some point? Apart from maybe video recording and stable BT ... the only real missing HW feature to be supported is the fingerprint reader right?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] :
fingerprint reader needs some proprietary libs in order to work. we need to wait on a blob release from Sony that has those functioning.

also, BT should be working now, or did you test lately and faced a bug there? I was able to transfer files successfully
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] frittentheke:
Uh .. bugger. Is is realistic to simply grab the driver blob of the fingerprint reader and have it working? Otherwise I suppose the OS has everything else on board?

Actually I don't own the device, yet. I am considering to buy one ... and that's just because this post. I want the device to have a long life, and without a custom rom like CM13 available, it's up to Sony to keep it current. That said, thank very much for your hard work!

[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] leeoniya:
Is anyone else experiencing severe Gapps-nano /arm64 crashing?

CM13 by itself works fine (camera is blue and glitchy, tho), but i simply cannot hook up my google account. Every few seconds:

"unfortunately google play services has stopped"

"unfortunately google play store has stopped"

This is on a completely fresh install (everything wiped cache/dalivk/system/data). Most suggestions in other threads involves advice about clearing prior data or app cache rather than doing a dirty flash, or setting permissions via Device Administrator, or uninstalling Play updates, rolling back to earlier gapps, etc etc etc. But none of this applies here, since everything is clean. If i install CM13 + gapps at the same time, then i cannot get into the system since it cannot get past the account setup. If i install CM13 first and boot, i get in and then then reboot and install gapps and Play starts crashing randomly. I can sorta get part of the way through the account setup, but it fails to sign in, etc...all the while crashing every 3 secs. Any advice?
