WiFi hotspot not working

Thanks for your awesome work, everything is working fine except WiFi hostpot. After some research, I found this change which seems to help and is being applied for lots of devices recently. Would it be possible to include the fix into this rom?

I would have tried the fix by myself, but wasn't able to find the right repositories for pollux/pollux_windy

EDIT: Nevermind, found the link to the repositories in first post. Building kernel right now.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Rootk1t:
this bug existed from CM11 and is somewhat unfixable, as far as i understand.

But there is a way to bypass it, by plugging headphones in 3.5mm jack. After that it works mic works again, until you unplug headset.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] lemoinem2:
First of all, Thank you for taking the time to answer me. However, I fail to see how this could be unfixable... That it's currently unfixed, I understand, but it's clearly related to some kind of noise cancelling-related configuration. As soon as the system needs to process sounds recorded by the mic while the speakers are on as well, the mic seems to be disable. This is clearly software since the mic is working flawlessly otherwise.

I admit I don't have the knowledge regarding android dev and debug tools to try to fix it myself, but I fail to see how this could be impossible to fix. It was working with the Stock ROM (of which I unfortunately loose my NANDROID backup, which is my own stupid mistake, fair enough).

About 50% of the use of my table is to Skype with my family overseas. Not being able to use Skype is major issue, and headsets are not a viable options for me either since there are usually two people on each side of the call, I would need to use a bluetooth/jack speaker, which is border ridiculous... This looks like a major bug to me...

Now, If anyone has the knowledge and could spare some time to help me debug this out, I would be more than happy to assist to the best of my abilities and work with them on this (I am a professional developer BTW, so yes, I have a bit of background and understanding how things could work). Or if at least, someone could point me to an explanation on how the bug works and why it can't be fixed (since, IME, this usually means that it could be worked around through some kind of trade-off that's producing a lose/lose situation and the bug itself is simply the lesser of two evils). In the same line of thoughts, if there is a better platform than this thread for this kind of questions/conversations I'd be glad to move it this there.

I've read on mixer path, and build.prod, which seem to be the files usually concerned by this kind of bugs, but I don't know how I could access system/debug logs or list the possible values that could be used in these files...
[Xperia Tablet Z General] zeelog:
I managed to fix this by adjusting mixer_paths for MICs :

https://github.com/zeelog/android_d...mmit/9acd76a41cffdcb8d5ea18fab711de68847441e4

tested on skype calls

perhaps [MENTION=7827892]CaHbKaUp[/MENTION] can include it in his next build
[Xperia Tablet Z General] oasick:
Fantastic ROM

Thank you!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] CaHbKaUp:
Its very good news, if it work this patch will be in next build.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] zeelog:
pretty sure it works, tested on my pollux ;)

would be nice if you also include fm radio patches & telephony changes (for sms messaging & calling on pollux) - feel free to pm me for more details.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Essentrix:
Hi CaHbKaUp. Thought I'd mention that I'm having root permission problems using solid explorer that weren't there in CM builds. Can't delete files in root directory. ES file explorer on the other hand has no problems. Tried to change platform.xml by adding

<permission name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

</permission>

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>

<permission name="android.permission.ACCESS_ALL_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="sdcard_all" />

</permission>

Caused boot loop. ?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] lemoinem2:
Well, That's very good news.

FYI, I just tested the fix on my own tablet (Skype call as well), it's working pretty good. We may have to adjust the volume of the mic because the sound sounded a bit like it was caped of (there was a bit electronic-like distortion)... But it IS working! Confirmed!

Thank you zeelog for the fix! I'm really curious how come this hasn't been fixed since CM11, but heh... Better late than never ;) . :good:
[Xperia Tablet Z General] zeelog:
Thanks for your feedback. Voice quality is very much dependent on connection, furthermore making a video call might even deteriorate voice clarity especially if internet connection is weak. You may want to try adjusting mic volume, but I doubt if that would actually improve anything. I've only had this tablet for a couple of months, so I don't really know what was wrong back in cm11 days, I've started to look into pending issues just recently :)
[Xperia Tablet Z General] dream7:
hi all, i find default recovery twrp stuck, i couldn't find or install another rom, i restart in recovery, than i used twrp terminal to install last official one that i put in internal sdcard before or u can put it in external if u didn't, go there using command like this :

dd if=twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel

than i reboot again in recovey all worked fine when i passed rom.

enjoy. :)
[Xperia Tablet Z General] mirek54:
I have tried this on polux-windy and it will not work. Do I do something wrong?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] zeelog:
did you reboot after changing values? & make sure you have correct permissions on mixer_paths file
[Xperia Tablet Z General] mirek54:
You are right, I did not have correct permisions. Now microphone for Skype is working correctly.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Rootk1t:
[MENTION=4695183]zeelog[/MENTION]

When i manually fixed the file with new values, everything worked good. When i replaced my file, with yours with echo references, the mic was working good, but notification sounds didn't play at all, though ringer sound played well. Reverted back to my manually edited file.

As for calls/sms, i think, no addition is needed, as calls/sms work on all firmwares by [MENTION=7827892]CaHbKaUp[/MENTION] for a some time already.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] zeelog:
do not replace the file, just edit/add changes to the file. (mixer_paths file on my github contains other changes required for FM Radio, those changes are also linked with audio_policy - so it would be best if you just add missing values) - Afaik there's no added functionality with echo_reference, just added it for the sake of getting rid of some errors in logcat. I've been running a self compiled build with those changes & so far I didn't notice any problems with audio.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Rootk1t:
I also noticed any changes with the addition of echo_reference.

BTW, will your work on FM allow to run stock radio or only Spirit/Spirit2 Real FM Radio?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] zeelog:
stock FM
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Rootk1t:
That would be really nice feature, if you can implement it.

Spirit FM radio works somehow, but i don't like. Stock Sony one was clean & simple.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] zeelog:
I was referring to Google FM Radio app:
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Rootk1t:
As far as i understood, it is ordinary Internet Radio. It doesn't use built-in FM receiver. How does it differ from any other internet radio service? What are advantages of GFM Radio over numerous others?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] zeelog:
It uses built-in FM receiver. It has nothing to do with internet radios.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] ENLUKA:
Hi I'am the only one who have the Problem that my pollux_windy will not boot after a restart ? (pollux_windy = SGP312)
[Xperia Tablet Z General] mincadur:
Pollu_Windy?

Hi, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Pollux_Windy = SGP311.

I have the SGP311 model and it's working well with the Pollux_Windy version.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] CaHbKaUp:
Pollux_windy is a code name for both SGP311 and SGP312
[Xperia Tablet Z General] RuuddieBoy:
I have a SGP311, which is supposed to be Pollux_Windy but when I try to install this ZIP file TWRP says 'trying to install Pollux_windy, but your device is Pollux'. Installing Pollux ZIP file is allowed by TWRP but after this it doesn't boot at all.

Any clue?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] CaHbKaUp:
First make sure you've downloaded pollux_windy version of ROM.

Now extract boot.img from zip and flash it via fastboot like that: fastboot flash boot boot.img.

After that boot into recovery via volume-down, then wipe caches, system, data and finally flash rom again.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] ze7zez:
I have not found, and this is an opportunity to ask.

fastboot boot recovery.img

Does it work?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] zeelog:
I believe it's included in latest build:

2017/01/12

Update:

- January 2017 security patch

- CMFilemanager fix

- WiFi AP fix

- mic in Skype fix (thanks zeelog)

- FM Radio (thanks zeelog)
[Xperia Tablet Z General] CaHbKaUp:
Here is your answer https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/general/boot-recovery-flashing-t3375907
[Xperia Tablet Z General] CaHbKaUp:
Yes, this package already in last ROM build, but for working FM Radio you need kernel and system support.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] CaHbKaUp:
Very strange you dont see it in ROM, clean install ?

Of coz ROM provides support and apk.

You can find it in /system/priv-app/FMRadio.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] crystaly16:
[MENTION=7827892]CaHbKaUp[/MENTION] Is the mentioned "Wifi AP fix" from build 12/01 the same as the one above? Because even with that build, wifi hotspot is not working for me.

In the meantime, I managed to build LA myself including the mentioned fix and WiFi AP was working fine there. So the fix seems to help.

Hi folks,

Does anyone know if netflix downloads work with this rom? I've been unable to get it to work on stock rom, so am considering this as an option.

No, it didnt work, but it worked for me at pre root 5.1.1.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] enigmedark:
Excuse me but can you add root on next update? I do an update to the new version and now I don't have root permission. I found this on LineageOS Web.

Well thanks for your work ;) and sorry for my bad English :(
[Xperia Tablet Z General] CaHbKaUp:
Yes, LineageOS decided to exclude root by default. You can easly flash latest SuperSU via TWRP and you'll get root on your device.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] :
I enabled Root like it was in Cyanogenmod. In the developer options you can choose between "disabled", "apps", "ADB" and "Apps and ADB".

no custom roms for docomo, as it's bootloader is permanently locked.

you need to flash boot.img and use built-in it recovery. You will not succeed with XZDR.

I've flashed 2017-02-16 pollux-windy with OpenGApps ARM/7.1 stock variant. The tablet is stuck in a white screen with a dark green Lineage logo. It shows the battery icon on top right corner. Volume and switch off buttons work. But the touch screen is not responding.

I've wiped everything in TRWP before flashing.

Any idea what went wrong?

Thanks.

Edit:

After a while the status bar became accesible. I rotated the tablet and was able to see the configuration wizard. Now everything seems to run OK. The Pixel launcher is working well.

Thanks CaHbKaUp for your wonderful work!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] vmikalinis:
I have the same thing, battery, volume, power button, outline of the wifi icon but no apps or bars. I've rebooted it and still the same. Going to let it sit for a while and see if it eventually comes up.

Edit: Waited about 20 mins, never changed, tried several reboots.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] CaHbKaUp:
Seems stock opengapps is the problem, first try pico version.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] merrymeal:
Same result with the pico variant 20170217 (stuck in the white screen with the logo). It looks like if the touchable buttons were out of the screen. Rotation doesn't work.

BTW, with Lineage 2017-02-16 version the tablet feels a bit sluggish. Previous version was very smooth.

Hope it helps!

Edit:

Flashed the stock variant 20170217 again. Same result. After 45 minutes or so, clock was available in the status bar. Then you can access the status bar. Touch settings icon. Rotate the tablet. Touch back. Now you can see the wizard buttons.

System shows the message "Music app stopped working blah-blah" when you run the configuration wizard for the first time.

Still a bit sluggish compared to previous version.

[Xperia Tablet Z General] johneggman:
have you tried to rotate the tablet? it worked for me. after rotation a "next" button appeared in the lower right corner.

Unfortunately screen mirroring over MHL adapter does not work. When I plug in the adapter (which was working fine with the stock ROM) just nothing happens. Does anyone else have this issue? Can it be fixed? Or does no custom ROM supprt MHL?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] fate8:
I met exactly the same problem with the 20170216 pollux build, with OpenGapps pico. I can't rotate the tablet to get accesss to the "next" button.

I came from Sony stock 5.1.1. I installed TWRP and performed full wipe. So it is unlikely anything is messed up due to dirty flash. I didn't try booting without installing Gapps as I can't live without Gapps...

Finally I gave up and installed the 20170201 polux build + OpenGapps pico. Everything works great, but I really want to try fast USB charging in the new build.

BTW, is there a way to adjust auto-brightness timeout? I often use the tablet in portrait mode. When I try to scroll on a long page, my hand may block the light sensor 1 or 2 seconds, and brightness goes down a lot very quickly. If I can extend the timeout to 3~5 seconds, I can keep the brightness level unchanged when scrolling a long page.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] weathercast0:
Hi, I just flashed the lastest version 20170216 on my pollux.

Immediately after the boot I could use the quick settings to get to the settings and turned every rotation related option on.

Then I was able to turn the display to see the "next" button.

If I turned the tablet before getting into the settings, I was no longer able to access the quick settings.

Some things i found out:

- Camera preview (at least in Google Camera) is bugged, but pictures are saved correctly

- As soon as I plug in the power cable the device boots into the system (is there a setting to power the tablet while it's off?)
[Xperia Tablet Z General] CaHbKaUp:
- It was a bug in initial screen - in last update fixed by laos team.

- i switch camera from Snap to Camera2 coz of this preview aspect bug

- autobooting into system on power-on event was done for automate purposes, if you want to charge table faster (i dont know any reason to charge tablet when its "off") you can turn Fast-charge mode in KernelAdiutor (already included in near updates).
[Xperia Tablet Z General] weathercast0:
Thanks,

Camera is working now as expected =)

I like to charge the tablet before I use it, and usually it does charge faster when it's off.
