V60FPS

videos at 60FPS, on Youtube are not playing right, the video plays slow.

Please fix this, I like this AOSP
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] mirhl:
Do you know if this used to work on some previous version of the rom? Or android version?

For example, on XS 720p@60fps was working on stock rom.

And of course I wouldn't expect any less from SP.

I also really wonder whether 1080p@60fps couldn't be a thing here.

S3 quite definitively couldn't, while MSM8974-AA certainly did.

MSM8960(T) has the in-between QDSP6 V4 though.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Docmine7:
I did a clean install, using only the latest version of ROM and Gapps (Pico) today.

All other Adrian ROMs play 720p60, but this specific version does not play.

hey guys, i'm new to the forums (and new to customizing phones).

ive been trying to install oreo or nougat on my xperia sp since yesterday, had some problems with unlocking bootloader etc but managed to solve everything on my own. but i do have a problem i ran into after successfully installing this ROM (from the first post, AOSP 7.1.2). i don't know how to flash gapps after successfully installing the ROM from twrp? i have tried installing it from recovery (not twrp) after i've installed the ROM, but both adb sideload and installing from sdcard didn't work for me. unfortunately i don't have any pics of that to show you. so if someone would be kind enough to let me know how to flash gapps after flashing the ROM. as far as i've read up on the matter, it is impossible getting twrp on xperia sp after installing a ROM? because it has no separate recovery partition? and all the tutorials for flashing gapps are basically saying to flash it from recovery (twrp) which i can't get after installing the ROM.

thanks in advance!

EDIT: well the solution was simple, I didn't know a reboot wasn't necessary after flashing the ROM :)

Hi, Have you tried using a Search Engine to find out how to Install TWRP for Xperia SP? If not, try searching "Install TWRP XPERIA SP". There are many tutorials and videos to help guide you through. Good Luck!

On first boot I get the "Encryption Unsuccessful" error, with the only option of "Reboot Phone". I have tried factory resetting and flashing again, with and without gapps, with no avail. I can access the recovery and restore from back up no worries.

Any ideas how to get past this?

You've got to be kidding me!! HUGE, HUGE thanks to you Adrian!!!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Iekuta:
I think it's stable to daily use without gapps lol

I love it soo much.

Android 7.0 it's buttery smooth without gapps :D

I think im gonna stay with this .
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ralfbergs:
I have GApps installed, and for me it's also amazingly stable and fast.

I've never seen an alpha so close after the release of the source that was so mature... I remember that CM13 by the same dev was already amazing, but this even tops it...

Great job, [MENTION=2233641]Adrian DC[/MENTION], kudos!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] AdrianDC:
Thanks.

However you guys like to mention that inactive user often.. xD
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] spoofykid:
No cigar unfortunately. Tried repeatedly wiping and repairing. No errors are showing up, however the "Encryption Unsuccessful" notice continues to show; red boarders flashing as well. Thanks for the help.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Iekuta:
Is the Gapps stable ? I dont wanna see "Unfortunately ******** .stopped working issues.:p

And yes, i'm thinking the same thing. Xperia SP gets better and better. [MENTION=2233641]Adrian DC[/MENTION] surprises us all the time :laugh:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Gshrestha:
Successfully Installed the ROM :o:D Now Checking the ROM..Will soon update the feedbacks..:o

Plus ..Just a NOOB question :) Can I flash every other zips like in CM13 / AICP like album.zip..xperiakeyboard.zip..z5musicport.zip...etc and blahh blahh:confused::D

Thnkyou so much for keeping XSP alive [MENTION=2233641]Adrian DC[/MENTION]:good::o
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] TechnoSparks:
Feedbacks and bug reports should be thorough since this is strictly an alpha. Just an advice.

For the zips in question, that is out of the scope of the thread, but to answer it anyway, yes you can flash any zip you want, but the outcome may be unsatisfying, as it strictly depends on the mods you're flashing. For the sake of example, if Xperia Keyboard isn't updated to work on N, flashing it may put the files onto the system, but it may crash when you try to use it. For third party issues like these, it is better not to include in bug reports, unless it is in some acceptable exceptions.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Gshrestha:
Yupp !! Understood and noted !!:o

If any further thorough good/bad pops up..will let you know ;)

Review: Xperia Sp Nougat.

Been on the AOSP 7.0 update (20160828) for a couple of hours, and here's my take on it.

The ROM has the characteristic quality and experience we've come to associate with [MENTION=2233641]Adrian DC[/MENTION] , it's so blazing fast.

All things being equal, it's still a preliminary build and works perfectly OK for those who don't use any form of modification.

Used gapps from opengapps.org which worked perfect for me. The ROM comes without a file explorer... You'll have to either download off play store or install one through Recovery.

So here we go, covering all the basics;

1.) Mobile Network; Works (Incoming and Outgoing Calls).

2.) Data Connection; Works.

3.) NFC ; Not tested.

4.) Bluetooth; Not certain it works... Couldn't share files from my PC to my phone... Someone else to confirm.

5.) Tethering: Works.

6.) Music; Works. (The "Songs" tab is blacked out in the default music player... Used Google play music which worked perfect)

7.) Video Player; Works.

8.) Torch Light; Works.

9.) Voice recorder; Works. (Used Sony's Audio Recorder).

10.) FM Radio; Nope.

11.) Camera; Partially (Can't Save video recordings).

12.) Call; Partially (Works fine except for USSD. It doesn't work).

I guess that's it for now. There's some aesthetics difference, one of which you can see the battery graph in the QS panel and reply messages straight from the notification.

As mentioned, root isn't available, and though the ROM is fit for daily usage, those who need apps dependent on root like xposed and Titanium and even something as basic as applying themes will need to stick to their existing ROMs.

All in all, I'd give this an 8 out of 10 in it's present state. Thanks [MENTION=2233641]Adrian DC[/MENTION] for this.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] bamiasHELLAS:
I booted and went through the setup successfully.

I also got the errors during flashing but the phone booted .

On fitst flash I also flashed open Gapps with no issues.

During the setup Google Play settings kept force stopping and crashing, but once I enabled the proper permissions everything was ok

AdrianDC thank you!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] syferdevil:
Succesfully installed it, and then after played around with it I can say that this is actually a good alpha ROM.

Phone call works, mobile data works although you have to manually input the APN, alarm works but Clock app don't let me change its style to analog (not really important but still I have to point it out).

I clean installed it with TWRP without gapps.

Thanks for this.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Iekuta:
Bluetooth works phone to phone successfully.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ralfbergs:

Perfectly stable for me.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] mhmghomi:
Omg are u kidding adrain??? Android 7???

Wow nice try, nice try man.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] spoofykid:
I fixed this simply by performing a Factory Reset, then formatting /data, I then installed the rom followed by open pico gapps, and finally wiped Cache and Dalvik before rebooting.

Install worked with only the setup wizard being an issue. I got through it with still being able to restore from an old device (it stopped there). I found working: WiFi, WiFi hotspot, bluetooth, bluetooth teethering, bluetooth audio, NFC/Android beam, calling, intermittent mobile data, intermittent GPS, and LEDs. Not working: camcorder.

I found when formatting /data, the format changed to ext4s which allowed the rom to install; but when restoring CM13 back, I reformatted back to f2fs by using the recovery terminal with help from Tomoms (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66594839&postcount=116)

Code:

mkfs.f2fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/Userdata

I then Factory Reset and restored CM13.

I hope this may help someone else.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] aamie1:
Thanks AdrianDC. Upgrading from MM AOSP was a breeze. No problem whatsoever.

When running this ROM I regularly get a red border flashing around the screen when starting or leaving an app. I forgot what this means and where it comes from.

I can't seem to be able to get rid of developer option on the settings.

I also had a few random freezes and reboots. Will try to get a log...

Thanks for your work.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] alitavas:
At first, i tried to install rom as secondary rom but failed then i tried to install as primary rom (without GApps) and it was successful!!!!

No lags (Because I didnt install any apps and GApps)

Thanks for your hardwork adrian??

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Iekuta:
I used the rom without gapps for 3 days and it was soooo amazing, smooth.

And now, gonna try with gapps, and observe the performance changes between them.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] aamie1:
An update after 24 hours.

I found out that the red border comes from strict mode being enabled in developer options. The thing is that it is not enabled and enabling or disabling it does not change anything.

After the first reboots, none for quite a while. Just as I was now ready to do logcats...

The alarm clock did not ring this morning. What is more, overnight, the clock app had "forgotten" that I wanted to display 2 additional time zones and crashes when I want to add them. It had not forgotten what time it should ring at. It just did not ring.

A couple of other apps seem to have lost their data.

GPS position does not seem to update. When I start the map app, it shows where I am but does not move when I do. GPS essentials crashes when I try to display satellites (not sure it is the app or the ROM).

Finally, the phone did not go to sleep overnight and lost half of its battery. The stats where not helpful there. I installed better battery stats but now it goes to sleep.

I will further report when I get something new.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Krawzer:
Im using the room for somedays now, and It continues really really smooth, with gapps and everything I normally use. The only problem I found was the GPS, every app I tried cant find my location, permissions on them are ok and GPS is enabled with high precision. Really Amazing work on our device by Adrian :D

Add this line in your build.prop

For disable strict mode

persist.sys.strictmode.visual=0

persist.sys.strictmode.disable=1

How I can access root files ? This rom is not root.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] kenyeldodol:
You cab use TWRP. And amounting system. Copy build.prop > external SD > reboot

On active phone you can add line on build.prop.

And then go to TWRP. And amounting system. Copy build.prop on external SD > system and replace. Hold build.prop choise cmod for update permission to 0644> reboot.

Sorry for bad english :laugh:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ahmadimehr:

I tried the rom with gapps for 2 days, it's smooth enough (we all know that the gapps ruins the performance),

but i got to say that it's slower than without gapps (we all know that the gapps ruins the performance /predictable/ :silly:)

I got Authentication errors on Play Store (i cant solve this error), and i got little FC's from Play Services (i fixed them).

Now im gonna reflash the AOSP 7.0 without gapps, and use it as daily.

Waiting for the new update :)

My Score;

Performance

With Gapps : 7.5-8/10

Without Gapps : 10/10:victory:

Nougat on Xperia SP. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] dorolan05:
i really like it.. thanks... sir!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] I_am_Blackford:
Let me share a story

Once upon a time, there was a fellow really adamant on migrating to Nougat but with the intention of preserving his existing apps and data :). Now, there was a limitation of there being no root access so the option of backing up and restoring apps via TitaninumBackup (TB) was nonexistent :crying:. Every method tried involved either bootlooping of the ROM or multiple FCs, including upgrading from an existing CM based ROM, wiping it's system et cetera while leaving it's data untouched in TWRP; flashing of existing SuperSU zip, and so on:eek:. Nothing worked to give him the ability to move apps and their respective datas without triggering any unwanted malfunction in the system apps while using Nougat :(. So he thought, since Nougat was AOSP based, why not try upgrading from an AOSP with root access :confused:. He went back to his existing ROM, backed up his apps+data with TB, flashed the AOSP 6.0 rom only, restored his backed up apps, then upgraded to Nougat while including gapps and Tada! It worked flawlessly :victory:. And this fellow lived happily ever after with his favorite candy :D.

(For SMS & CallLog backup, well search for (SMS & CallLog Backup" app)

Moral Lesson:

1.) MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT ROM.

2.) DO NOT flash zips that modify the system partition a lot else bootloops or FCs. (Xposed/SuperSU/KernelTweaks)

3.) MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT ROM.

4.) Any data accumulated won't be able to be transferred back to any 6.0 ROM due to absence of root. So you either wait for a root access to be made or you forfeit the data.

5.) MAKE A BACK UP OF YOUR CURRENT ROM.

6.) This is for those who don't care about root access, want to be on this ROM but want their previous datas transferred.

Hi [MENTION=2233641]Adrian DC[/MENTION]

Thanks a TON for this awesome work to bring Android 7.0 to XSP

I went through all the FAQs and tried setting the permission through my laptop for the Google Play Services force closing issue. I cannot seem to set the third permission somehow and it returns the following error:

Operation not allowed: java.lang.SecurityException: Package com.google.android.setupwizard has not requested permission android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

Can you please help since it still shows me the force close error, the rest two permission were set i guess.

Seems pretty stable for an Alpha release. Awesome work everyone! :)
