Okay . . . - many thanks for the info.

I actually thought that "fxp" must mean something like "free xperia project", but I did not find anything current and also saw 'fxpblog.co', but due to the "blog is down" message, I simply and entirely overlooked the downloads section :)

So in fact, this is related (or better: part of) to the Sony Open Devices program and here, the ROMs from the build instructions there can be downloaded, if I understand right. (I have read also what munjeni said, and meanwhile, I tend to agree to his point of view . . .)

Okay, let me give my thoughts about that topic, based on what I know - it would then be up to you to judge, what "risk" is involved:

First of all: I haven't downloaded the referred fxp build to see it in action, as the download site uploaded.net is bandwidth restricted, I have no patience to wait two hours for a download and I will not become a premium member of this site just to download the file. If you can however somehow share this build, I'll be happy to flash it on my device and have a closer look.

I can however say something to 'my' builds (whether with or without GAPPS):

None of Sony's open device prebuilt kernels is used, but kernel compiled from sonyxperiadev (same as also SonyLOS does), with enforcing SELinux (I don't remember, what their prebuilt kernels look like...)

Build variant is "userdebug" (which is pretty much the case with almost all custom ROMs). For this AOSP ROM, that means that USB debugging is switched on by default (so have to enable developer options and switch it off).

Further, there is an su binary, but as already mentioned in my announcements, root access is ONLY available through adb. Regular apps cannot request root (unless of course, you would flash e.g. SuperSU)

The "Browser" coming with the "pure AOSP" variant (in the GAPPS variant, you have Chrome) indeed is only a "Test shell" to call the android WebView engine, so I wouldn't really use it, but rather install a real browser app.

Sources are Google's AOSP, SonyAOSP git and sonyxperiadev. All of them referred by many different custom ROMs, so any "vulnerability" there would apply to more than just the pure AOSP ROMs

If you read to some of [MENTION=4120742]munjeni[/MENTION] 's comments, and others, it seems (anybody please step in to provide more details here) that Sony 'DRM protects' their stock drivers with this special 'trim area partition' BS, which makes it impossible to simply reuse great parts of the stock blobs in custom ROMs - so the blobs provided by Sony in their open devices program seem - at least partly - to be a different development, with a different maturity and quality level (which may also apply to security) . . .

It also has to be mentioned, that the build instructions on the Sony Developer site do not simply use Google's AOSP tree as is, but revert some commits and cherry-pick others (I haven't however really looked at the details).

Regards, M.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
Thanks... BTW, many of the fxp builds are mirrored on afh. Check op. I never wait for uploaded links either. However, every so often they will post a build only on uploaded
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] MSe1969:
Hi levone1,

currently busy downloading the fxp AOSP from April 14th... :)

Different topic, see my quote from the OP, as I have permanently a similar issue:

I am using TWRP 3.1, which I've built using the CM-12.0 repos by [MENTION=4063475]derf elot[/MENTION]

As long as I use CM12.1 (which is my daily driver for this device), all works perfect, but after I flash any N ROM (which also works w/o any issue), I get a black screen in TWRP, when I boot into recovery having any N ROM installed. It does not matter, whether I reboot to recovery via adb, via extended restart menu in LOS or by pressing vol.up after switching on the phone. Recovery is there (MTP works, adb works), but black screen. My work-around is always

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp.img

After restoring my CM12.1 backup, all works again like a charm (I have also tried reflashing TWRP). Are you aware of such an issue?

Thanks, M.

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

Okay, have quickly flashed the contents (boot.img, system.img) from the AOSP_N_MR1_170414_amami.zip of the AFH directory of the fxp guys (FreeXperia on AFH).

With regards to the items I have listed in my "risk assessment", I have noticed only one difference:

This kernel is "permissive" with regards to the SELinux mode! It also shows a different build date and different build metadata, it has not been compiled during the ROM build, but separately - seems to be the respective "prebuilt" kernel from the Sony open devices program. When you build the ROM via sonyxperiadev git "as is", the result is a kernel with SELinux mode "enforcing".

This is indeed less secure - especially as it does not need to be like that (but yes, that allows a developer to better play around). However, whether this is really a 'state affair' needs to be judged by everybody on his own.

If you for example take other older devices (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini), which came out with Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), and which now still are supported with quite recent MM custom ROMs (and even Nougat), they only work without SELinux (due to old software blobs). Not perfectly well, but far better than running them still with original "Jelly Bean" . . .

So if you ask me - the statement from fxp is first of all a legal disclaimer. However, I may overlook something important here, so I am curious what others may contribute to that discussion . . .

Cheers - M.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
I have much less knowledge than you, but I think what I realized is that the problem I was having was due to flashing stock KK previous to flashing that rom, (I was testing an MIUI build), so I lost real recovery, (lp bootloader). Since I reflashed stock LP with Emma, I have always been able to get back to recovery, (TWRP 3.1 real recovery).

On a related note, I also realized that once I flash certain N roms, (still not quite sure if it's only specific ones or all), I won't be able to boot a stock, or stock-based rom, (dstriker), until I reflash with Emma. Doesn't matter if it's restoring from backup or clean flash with full wipe, I just get bootloop. I have no idea what it means.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Frunzdoedel:
This is the reason munjeni stopped the development on aosp for our device.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] einfachgaer:
You only need to wipe APPS_LOG with flashtool after coming from N, then you are able to boot again ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
Nice, thanks...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] nhicko95:
how about camera and sim ?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
I'm pretty sure that sim is fine on all recent N roms. Camera is no good...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] nhicko95:

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] MSe1969:
Hi all,

I've been asked to provide updated builds (Sec. string 2017-05-05) for LOS 14.1 and AOSP 7.1.2, so here they are:

LOS 14.1 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195900825

AOSP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195900828

PLEASE NOTE: I haven't had so far time to flash and test them on my own!

(So in case, anything worse than bad camera and bad battery appears, do let me know, so I would remove them from AFH - feedback in general is appreciated)

Regards, M.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
Tested AOSP. Camera is the same. Everything else seems to work well, except Micro G showed 'no sigspoof support' message. I wondered if there might be different versions that might work better, but I didn't get around to trying. I can try to patch framework myself and see if it changes anything, if you want...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] MSe1969:
Hi, I only applied the microG patch to the LOS build, but not yet to the AOSP build. If wanted, I can from now on also include it into the AOSP builds.

Regards, M.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
Don't do it for my sake. I have Tingle set up on my computer if needed, and I probably won't spend much time with any N rom until/unless camera improves. Thanks

Camera focuses again since a few weeks (I think because of this commit: https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/device-sony-common/commit/b9afb39517d587d6249406a5514814aeb15e9ecc).

At least on AICP

the rom is super smooth but

camera is the same as usual on sonyaosp im gonna back to aicp for while until this bug is fixed
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:

Is the commit mentioned included in your build?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
I just flashed the latest AICP out of curiosity, and camera does seem to focus much better, but focusing is slow, and picture quality is still pretty lacking. Might be good enough for some who really want to use N.

Wow, uno sviluppatore italiano :) attualmente ho la dstriker, devo fare qualcosa prima di passare alla sonyaosp? Con kernel bloccato la posso flashare?

Actually I have dstriker 008, what should I do to flash sonyaosp? It works with locked kernel? Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
Need unlocked bootloader. Then extract all img files from zip into adb folder on PC, then use fastboot commands 'fastboot flash' [system] or [boot] or etc... Don't need to flash included recovery, and I wouldn't, since you probably won't get recovery from it, and I'm not sure about cache, (I just flashed it), but you do need to flash boot, system, and userdata, (which will wipe internal storage, so be prepared).
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] francesko94:
Done, thanks. Nougat is very nice, but the camera is really bad... i have flashed recovery too, which recovery i can use to replace it? thank you
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
If you want to go back to LP, you will need to flash stock with Emma or Flashtool first, or use a custom rom, like CM or something. Stock-based roms or backups won't boot after flashing N, without stock flash first.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] einfachgaer:
You only need to wipe APPS_LOG with flashtool after coming from N, then you are able to boot a stock rom.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonepie:
Guess this thread can be cancelled. Was hoping someone would chime in and clear things up. But no one had, so went ahead and ordered two different kinds from amazon and then went to ebay and ordered 2 genuine packs. So if the amazon works then I've got 20 tips total. If not I've still got a back up 10. Just seems strange that amazon doesn't have tips specifically listed for the note 4 and instead are directed to have to buy a genuine stylus pen for $30.... Granted I may still do that some time soon since I think I'd like both color s-pens for my phone depending on my mood. :laugh:
[Networking] MistaMolla:
Hey everyone,

I'm new here to this fantastic community, so i'm not sure if this is in the right place but here goes....

I've recently bought and HTC Touch, and upgraded it with software that i found here.

Now, On campus we've got a couple of networks available, but we're required to log onto one (wifi) for internet called 'UA-aes'.

It's the standard network on campus.

With my laptop, the guy responsible for the netword set it up easily

It needs the following : WPA2AES , PEAP and my user name and password. No domain required.

He didn't install anything else.

I tried hooking up my touch and was able to select wpa2aes, enter my user info and password but then it required a certificate which apparently WM6 doesn't have.

I tried explaining it to the guy, but he said no certificate was needed, and i checked on my laptop, no certificate was indeed needed to connect to the network.

And this is the part where i'm stuck, i'd really like to connect to the wifi, but it doesn't.

Has anyone an idea how to fix this? Where to find the certificate?

This would REALLY help me a great deal.

Anyway, thx guys!
[Networking] MistaMolla:
nobody has a solution?
[Networking] Absence:
I'm running into the same problem with my school's network - I haven't yet tested this, but here is the solution I'm hoping will do the trick.

"The only thing you have to do is to add a DWORD Regestry Entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MAICHNE-->Comm-->EAP-->Extension-->25

Name:"ValidateServerCert"

Value: 1 to activate Validation, 0 to turn it off"

Best of luck
[Networking] Absence:
Just to update, I had the chance to test out that registry edit on my network. Again, the network does not require a certificate to access it. But the new reg settings solved my problem - I am now able to log in without being told that I lack a certificate I didn't even need.

Hi all

I just dropped my Nexus on the floor and the screen is crashed, as a result the touch function is not working as well.

It all came in sudden and I didn't back up anything, not even reading the unread message from those communication apps.

I wonder whether there is a way to project the phone screen on the computer and I can control it via my PC, at least I can read all the message and do the back up and say goodbye to my phone.

Many thanks
