[Xperia Z2 General] :
So that means that we can create Android N roms for our devices? We have everything that is needed including the binaries? Why didn't sony just release a AOSP Android N then?
[Xperia Z2 General] nisi3nt:
It's all ok with aosp but too installed on or device wii need to unlock or bootloader that's a big problem for tham hue can't unlock bootloader
[Xperia Z2 General] number28:
Sony has published a tutorial for build an AOSP ROM based on Android 7.0 for some Xperia devices like Z2 (search "sirius" word on the webpage) and Z3: http://developer.sonymobile.com/build-aosp-nougat-7-0/
[Xperia Z2 General] iXaidyiu:
Sony cant. It will break the GPL rules offered by Google. From android N onwards, devices need to have Vulkan and OpenGL ES 3.1 supported in order to have the OEM officially maintain it. And for our Z2, our chipset can neither support one of them. But our remaining chipset can still meet the requirements of the android N ( apart from the two I have mentioned above ). And Sony is willing to promote AOSP, so that's why SONY can provide all the guides and resources for us to build the rom but not building it herself.
[Xperia Z2 General] hex@dec:
To the pointer problem:

It might be a workaround, if someone who has the source code replaced all usages of InputDevice.SOURCE_TOUCHPAD to InputDevice.SOURCE_TOUCHSCREEN, in platform_frameworks_base. (but of course touchpads will not work properly this way:p) I guess the screen is the same as the Z3's, but the digitizer is different, so it is recognised as a touchpad.
[Xperia Z2 General] azam426:
I don't know anyone already built AOSP android N for Z2 from sony sources,

but i am now building.. 7% done at this moment.. i don't know it will complete the build successfully or not,

if it is success and if my Z2 boots, i will upload the rom.
[Xperia Z2 General] rcstar6696:
It will not work there are some changes needed

I will upload aosp n tomorrow
[Xperia Z2 General] azam426:
Can u tell me what kind of changes plz?

i did build successfully, its not booting..
[Xperia Z2 General] azam426:
Finally after lots of Struggles

Finally Booting after lots of struggles..

Daily Use?? Are you joking? Not possible..

Lots of app force closes.. Antutu force closing, play store sometimes force close, app installer force closes..

camera not available..

anyways wifi and data works..

But i have no plans to upload until fix those force close problems...

see some screens below..

P.S : will build another and test after few fixes applied..
[Xperia Z2 General] raminta:
Is there any chance to have android n on D6502???
[Xperia Z2 General] Brandon Nel:
Not at the moment. Kernel is supposed to be constructed first, then D6502 will get support.
[Xperia Z2 General] Brandon Nel:
Nice, but how is that Nougat? The Navigation bar looks kinda like the one in Marshmallow/Lollipop!
[Xperia Z2 General] azam426:
may be thats how sony wanted it.. after i built Android N from source, it didnt boot.. then i replaced some files from Sony Z3 developer preview..

System UI is one of them..
[Xperia Z2 General] azam426:
Yeah it was building and booting.. Only Baseband was not working (No Signal)

Wifi & Bluetooth works..
[Xperia Z2 General] Fabian781:
All work? How can i install it easy?
[Xperia Z2 General] Brandon Nel:
New build with everything working: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/development/aosp-6-0-marshmallow-sony-xperia-z2-t3235951
[Xperia Z2 General] iXaidyiu:
Isn't that build has charging battery issue? Or it has been fixed?
[Xperia Z2 General] Brandon Nel:
Yes, and i'm not 100 percent sure if they have fixed it yet.
[Xperia Z2 General] Fabian781:
"Flash the Boot from ROM via fastboot (fastboot flash boot pathTo/boot.img)

2. Flash Recovery via fastboot too (fastboot flash recovery pathTo/recovery.img)" how can i do it without PC? In recovery?
[Xperia Z2 General] iXaidyiu:
Extract both IMG from ROM.zip and flash them through fastboot on PC cmd.
[Xperia Z2 General] Fabian781:
I don't have a PC, only mobile Phone..
[Xperia Z2 General] iXaidyiu:
Then you have to do it in a new but risky way, download FlashFire from Play Store and flash the ROM.zip using it. Check "Ever root"if you want your phone still be rooted in the new ROM. And of course, always do a backup before flashing anything;)
[Xperia Z2 General] nisi3nt:
All unlocked bootloader what's with all thous ho can't unlock the bootloader :(
[Xperia Z2 General] Fabian781:
Don't work the Flashfire, can i install Rom in recovery twrp? Without this-"Flash the Boot from ROM via fastboot (fastboot flash boot pathTo/boot.img)

2. Flash Recovery via fastboot too (fastboot flash recovery pathTo/recovery.img)"???
[Xperia Z2 General] iXaidyiu:
Ah yes... Reminded by [MENTION=5632948]nisi3nt[/MENTION], you need to unlock your bootloader in order to install this ROM. But you said you don't have access to a computer then you can have no ways to unlock your bootloader. Or you unlocked it on a certain computer in the world? If yes, use FlashFire to flash only recovery.img or boot.img and boot into TWRP and perform the remaining tricks.
[Xperia Z2 General] nisi3nt:
I cannot unlock my bootloader :(
[Xperia Z2 General] iXaidyiu:
Is your phone Carrier-branded? In this case your phone will probably be jailed in locked bootloader state. If not, what is the problems or symptoms you encountered during the flash?
[Xperia Z2 General] nisi3nt:
Yes my phone is carrier branded can i do som thin whith som service to un brend and unlock my phon i will pay for that
[Xperia Z2 General] iXaidyiu:
I don't think so..., never had heard of this before. Maybe you can ash some other XPERIA experts out there, I live in a place where there are seldom carrier-branded phones.
[Xperia Z2 General] Fabian781:
Hmm, have problem, rom have install without any problem but, i forget to install gaps, and now don't have a Google play shop etc, i can't install twrp.. Pc have stop on "waiting to device" Phone have a Blue Led, do black screen, and nothing, always "waiting"..

[Xperia Z2 General] N00b_H:
The fxp build doesn't have the charging issues unlike the one by [MENTION=5621191]rcstar6696[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z2 General] iXaidyiu:
That mean there are no major problems in the fxp builds?
[Xperia Z2 General] N00b_H:
I think so, but I didn't try it for a long time I downgraded to MM
[Xperia Z2 General] shahidaffan:
Fxp build do not work in D6502.
[Xperia Z2 General] rcstar6696:
Commit for the fix please?
[Xperia Z2 General] vo4LG:
I imagine that if it is a kernel fix, you have a public repo somewhere containing the kernel source including the fix, right? Otherwise you'd be violating the GPL, and I can't imagine anyone here would want to do that.
[Xperia Z2 General] vo4LG:
I'd like to build the kernel you're distributing in your ROM myself. Where can I find the source, toolchain details, build scripts, etc?
[Xperia Z2 General] Fabian781:
How can I instal now Marshmallow CM? what recovery can install??

Friends, I came here to ask help.

I flashed the : aosp_d6503-rcstar6696-NMF26O-20161210.zip

The phone restarts misteriously without I flash the gapps and now is stopped in the XPERIA inittial animation for 1 hour.

I don't know what to do =(
[Xperia Z2 General] iXaidyiu:
Did you wipe system, data, cache and art cache?

And which rom were you came from?
[Xperia Z2 General] nickmarinho:
No....

I came from cyanogen 12.1, the last one to z2

I am losting my air right now

adb dont work, recovery too

the phone dont boot

OMG
[Xperia Z2 General] iXaidyiu:
Use flashtool to go back to scratch and start again.
[Xperia Z2 General] nickmarinho:
I downloaded the flashtool and trying to use it I finally understood what to do.

So I enter in fastboot mode and installed the TWRP via fastboot.

Now I can flash the ROM again, I'm just waiting for battery charge again.

Think about I was with a great fear of lose my phone =)
[Xperia Z2 General] rileyisgfzmaybe:
I can't flash it via ADB, it doesn't recognize the device or something. Boot into bootloader, phone has a blue LED, and I type in the flash recovery command and it just says "waiting for device" even though it's plugged in.
[Xperia Z2 General] Shady_BlackSn0w:
Boot into fastboot mode

And type fastboot devices to check if your device is connected correctly

Then flash the recovery with this command fastboot flash recovery and drag and drop the recovery.img into the command window and press enter

I went on Sony's website and installed the z2 driver but it still says this. Is there maybe a special driver I need? I will continue to look
[Xperia Z2 General] iXaidyiu:
Then install drivers as told in the log.
[Xperia Z2 General] rileyisgfzmaybe:
The drivers are not available in flashtool. It says my device isn't recognized because I think this rom converted my Z2 to be recognized as something else. If I plug in normally it asks me what the program should recognize the device as and I click Z2 but it doesn't do anything. Basically I need drivers for this rom for flashtool
