Good stuff HaoZeke.

As for the flashing techniques, I consider the zips a lot easier since they can be applied completely via TWRP. I can't count the times I've had to make sure the drivers and all are okay (again) just to make the fastboot recognize my device on my computer :D

So basically I have saved the 10 minutes many times already by just not needing to fight with the drivers. I know how to get them to work now if I ever run into same problem again, but like a couple of weeks ago it took me like 2 hours because it had been so long when I needed it the last time :D

Plus it's always a bit safer when you got the zips on your SD card and you're somewhere out of reach and the phone starts to go nuts. Just wipes and install and you're ready to go again. No need for a computer. I often fiddle around with my phone on holidays away from home too in case there are updates. And I don't have a laptop :)

But all I'm saying is that it's perhaps easier and more convenient for most people. It's still your call though so no arguing and just gratitude for the work you do :)

How about the security settings? Still force closing?

Another problem I noticed just as I was leaving to get some groceries. The bluetooth doesn't work really. I mean I can pair it, but the headset keeps telling me the device is out of reach when it's like 30cm away :D

It keeps reconnecting and telling it's out of reach and then Bluetooth Share just force closes. My BT is QY8 and they've been working fine with other ROMs.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] iSpammer:
Can you release a flashable zip so we can use it in multirom?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
The latest release fixes all the settings.

All features should be working except that statusbar inside circle battery indicator.

Still released on MEGA. Should be done uploading in around fifteen minutes or so.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Multirom works?

I'll build an OTA-package soon.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] iSpammer:
I guess yes using OM5Z Stock kernel and mutirom twrp i was able to boot to multirom menu but i didn't installed any secondary rom as your rom isnt flashable zip
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
That won't work... OM5Z won't boot anything nougat.

So I'll have to look into the Kernel source and see how and if I can get multirom working.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] iSpammer:
But mutirom secondary rom has it's own kernel booting process, independent from the main rom
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
Updated ROM. Seems to be working fine. No force closes where there used to be. Good stuff!

I've been trying to fiddle with this Substratum thing. Any tips for a nice and sleek dark grey look? I tend to get some weird magenta or maroon colors no matter what I pick :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
That should only be in the substratum app itself (no idea why though)

Dark themes, there aren't many, but the Inverted UI from the playstore is nice and free.

Another release is coming out, fixes more bugs and adds some features along with a kernel bump.

EDIT:-

Does anyone else think this might maybe be in the original development part of these forums or is it ok here? :D
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] husky69:
Try CrystalTronik Dark :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
Screenshot taking from the power menu doesn't seem to work like it used to at least for me. It just dims the screen a bit, but does nothing until you touch the screen and then takes a random shot of emptiness or you can crop the area you want it to take a picture of. Which is fine I suppose, but how do I take a full screen screenshot?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] xperia z3:
awesome rom just flashed it, noticed theres no camera is there a fix for it yet? what camera app should i use?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
The mechanism has changed... Now you basically select the area... (drag your finger)

I was sort of confused at first too..
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Open camera... However the WhatsApp internal camera works best
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
Open camera force closes for me every time.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
So which one do you use?

For me it only doesn't work every now and then
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
I use Open Camera. It force closes about 8 out of 10 times. And when it does start, it "failed to open camera, camera may be in use by another application" or it fails to start camera. Switching to front camera works, but then going back to back camera, it force closes or gives the failed to open camera error.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
[MENTION=1964056]HaoZeke[/MENTION] did you see the rom of M5, carbon rom. It has the fingerprint working. Maybe you can see the source to make yours works. In the weelpkend i will try the release 6!?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
I'm out of thanks for today but that's the best news I've heard this year yet :D

I'll look into the code..

Maybe [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] could give me a hint too?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Myself5:
Carbon is tracking the Sony AOSP Kernel and the Carbon FPC driver is untouched. Nothing that should explain why its working on on Carbon at least.

EDIT: Wait. Checking your builddate, thats why. The FPC got fixed on December first.

Hello, this ROM is also compatible with the model Sony Xperia Z3 Single D6602, D6603 and D6643?

is compatible with all single and dualSIM versions of Z3? Thank you very much for the support
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
As the topic itself says, it's for E6683 and E6653 so only Z5.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Just the D6603 from release 6 :D
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
I started another thread in the z3 forums (nostalgia build)

I wonder how he came to this thread... O.o instead of that one..
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Thanks a ton :D I've got to keep track of the upstream changes better... I had no idea the n-mr0 branch had commits which don't turn up in the master branch... :D
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Hey, I'd request everyone using this, and even those who aren't to please help clear my doubts on originality here

Given that you released two builds in a few days - should I refrain from flashing v6 because you're going to release another build before long? ;):angel:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Myself5:
Master is for the 3.18 kernel base now. You should follow n-mr0 ;)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Nah, check the changes. I only released a new version since Myself5 directed me to getting the fingerprint working.

v7 is going to be the last release for a while maybe. I seem to be slightly under attack for releasing.

Is anyone here really morally offended by the donation link since I haven't originally authored all the commits? o.O
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] husky69:
Personally speaking - I am not, because it takes wit and effort to integrate everything and get it working, and IMHO every dev in the world stands on giants' shoulders, taking advantage from the work of others, and all efforts deserve some kind of reward, be it fame, praise, recognition, ... - or money.

That having said, I mostly decide to support devs by buying their Pro apps that unlock some extra features. But I also donate money at times...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Thanks for clarifying, could you mention that here too? https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/original-code-t3532034

I agree though, I mean, it's not a paywall, or even (hopefully) very eye-catching or nagging. It's not simple enough to just pull code and hope it runs. I put hours into this, mostly for myself since I use the same phone, but I release it for everyone anyway.

A lot of work from some very aggressive devs is sometimes often just re-branded, non-credited work anyway.

Either way, feature wise now there's only camera left, and that's kernel related so, it's not devastating to take a slight hiatus on the rom until this thing is cleared.

The basis of the argument is that every repo forked from Flash-ROM should be removed but that's not a big deal, since the commits and code base of that is basically Benzo Rom and Uberroms, along with AOSPA, DU, etc mixed in, just, interestingly, not[\B] forked by Flash-Rom, even though a lot of them are obviously not based on AOSP originally.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] husky69:
I'll be happy to see any improvements and look forward to try new releases as soon as you release them :)

Hm. Flashed 3.4 kernel now, upgraded system to v7 and installed TWRP again, too. Bootup took a few minutes (which didn't surprise me), but now the ROM is very slow and shows a notification about the system upgrade being finished.

But it shows that for > 10 minuts now without any progress above the ca. 20% it showed since short after starting....

Any hints? Would a reboot be dangerous???
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Don't reboot during the system upgrade.. It takes a while and it is slow, but it'll get much better once that is finished...

You might have battery issues with 3.4

I did so I'm on kernel 3.3 with release 7.

Also there's no need to keep reinstalling twrp..

The fastboot upgrade doesn't touch the recovery partition
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
I flash v7 with kernel 3.3. Everything is working perfect. Just the fingerprint doesnt work after a reboot. The camera bug, but this is a known issue.

I cant talk about battery cause i flash like 6 hours ago
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
That's very strange... I'm using the same setup and my fingerprint is finally working well....
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
Even after a reboot??

How didi ypu install?

1. Wipe, system, data, cache, dalvik via twrp

2. Fastboot boot

3. Fastboot system

4. Fastboot recovery

That is how you install ot? Cause i dont know i had the same problem with carbln rom.. Im usimg E6653
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
All I did to upgrade was flash system.img

The fastboot method doesn't touch boot or recovery so I never reflash them... :D

Heck I didn't even wipe anything (not required and a waste of precious time)

Unless I mention explicitly, it's good enough 99.8% of the time to just simply fastboot flash the system.. and nothing else.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
I was not upgrading. I was in stock rom. I dont know why its happening thus bug. Ill try to flash just system, i dont know'
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
In that case.... Maybe you should flash an earlier system and then try? O.o

(I honestly can't understand how that would make a difference but it's worth a shot...)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
I dont know, cause with carbon rom, i had the same bug. Maybe wiping internal storage fix. I will try tomorrow
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Well... Don't forget to make a backup... Good luck :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
Yes, its done hehe. I will report back
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
Erm, I attempted enabling fingerprint just to see if it works.

Asked to pick a method (fp+pattern, fp+pin etc). I took fp and pin.

Then entered pin, twice.

Then it asked me to place the finger in place. Then lift finger and give more touches.

Right around 90% done, it told me that I need to give the pin again and that the fp didn't go as planned.

Now it's not accepting my pin and I can't change the setting or re-apply the fingerprints :D

And now that my phone is locked, it's not accepting my pin nor my fp. So yea, any workaround for this or do I need to re-install the whole phone? :D
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Yikes. That's harsh. I simply flashed the latest over my existing system. Then went to security (where I already had a pattern) and just added the fingerprint.

That seemed to do the trick, unlocks the device correctly using either pattern or the fingerprint....

I tried adding another fingerprint too.. No issues
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
Rebooting helped. It accepted my pin.

---------- Post added at 08:53 ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 ----------

So I tried to add the fingerprint again.

Got to about 90-95% again and it tells me "Enrolment was not completed. Fingerprint enrolment didn't work. Try again or use a different finger."

I definitely was not too slow as that was my suspicion after the first failed attempt.

And now it again refuses to take my PIN :D

Rebooting... PIN accepted again.

Retrying to add fingerprint. Same issue comes up again.

I'll just reboot and disable fp then.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Does this happen to you on carbon too? O.o
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
Haven't tried Carbon yet.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] husky69:
I tried to connect my speaker via headphone cable (yes, I'm old school :angel:)

But no audio is coming from it. Using Bluetooth it works just expected.

Anyone else?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Well... I've not tried but if I'll try to see if I can get a hold of an older speaker to test..
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] husky69:
So, a litle feedback on v7:

I installed along with PixN kernel 3.4, the first bootup took really long (and I lost patience, the progress got stuck at about 20-25% for ages, so I rebooted. But no problems since...) andthe system is running really smooth since. Battery life IS bad with kernel 3.4, so I just reinstalled kernel 3.3 after some 36 hours on 3.4 with recharging at least thrice during that period...

I don't use fingerprint sensor, so no idea about that, and camera keeps being a problem - I get a preview with open camera, but when I press the trigger button, no photo is taken :-/

But nevertheless - great work, and I love it! Thanks for your efforts, HaoZeke!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] EEERicChey:
lose rooot after a reboot,,,and always told me that i should update the su bin
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] unsbamir:
hi, will this work on E6853 Z5P i wonder.. thanks in advance :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
No it's not for the z5p yet
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Use Magisk and phhs Superuser
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] DeathStroke:
magisk isn't really required for phh's superuser. ?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] EEERicChey:
thx, i've shut it down..

but sometime (now is always) the camera doesn't work with a tips :"connot connect the camera".(using Google camera app.)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Berdi86:
Good work , rom v7, kernel v3.4. Flashlight works, cooool!!!

But instagram doesn't work, and with kernel 3,3 instagram doesn't work too. Reinstall and so on doesn't help. Why that???
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Instagram? O.o mine is working alright... Maybe you could attach a logcat of the Instagram crash?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Yeah that usually goes away in a few tries..
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] jaffry:
I did a fresh install of V7. After a couple of reboots, everything's cool so far.

There isn't a default camera installed. Is that intentional or is it just me? (I can't find Google camera from my play store for a while already.) I have installed Open Camera but I was just wondering…

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

Just realised I don't have root.

Spoke to soon. Hahaha.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
That's cuz the rom doesn't ship with a root method since my preferred method is with Magisk but sone people still like supersu
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] DeathStroke:
is it possible to touch and unlock the device rather pressing the fingerprint (power button) then hold it to unlock. For example Xiaomi devices.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Nimadroid:
Hi dev

TNX to you for amazing work

I have some problem

SD card not recognized and ROM wanna to format but in TWRP it's OK (SanDisk 64Gb Fat32 )

Some Sony app I added in system worked but alot of them not recognized by ROM I think it's happening because of superuser mod not present in ROM

No Sony splash in kernel

And at last sometimes get device frozen

Any solution???
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Is this your first time using a non stock rom? If yes then once it will want to reformat it...

There isn't a Sony splash for non stock kernels yet...

Sony apps will typically not work... They depend on a lot of stuff which isn't there in aosp...

The device freezing... Well that I've not heard of or experienced yet.. Could you attach a logcat?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
I'm sorry I don't exactly understand.. Are you talking about double tap to wake?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] DeathStroke:
nope. In Xiaomi device, to unlock the device when it's sleeping, you just need touch and hold the fingerprint sensor and device gets wake up and unlock. you don't need to double tap the display and then tap fingerprint sensor to unlock the device which is what the case of Z5 or any other Xperia with fingerprint support.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Errr... At least for me.. (I just checked) I can simply hold the fingerprint sensor (not tap or press) while it's asleep and it does turn on....
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] DeathStroke:
wow. that's cool, right now I'm on a stock rom as I'm out for work and don't want anything abnormal with my device. but if it's working, then it's a great news.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
:) for now, the only abnormal thing is the camera. That and I think some older peripherals like speakers (wired) are causing issues...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] L33Tgod:
I have a weird issue. I flashed v7 and kernel v3.4,fingerprint unlock doesn't work, and when I want to add or delete fingerprint the phone just freezes. Otherwise than that and a little bit of camera everything is fine
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] xaaaj:
I just clean flash v7 fingerprint is working fine when I just booted to the ROM after flashing. But after a reboot fingerprint dosen't work anymore. although very smooth ROM and stable no fc's thanks [MENTION=1964056]HaoZeke[/MENTION] for all your effort and time invested to make this. Looking forward for other things to be fixed. :o:good:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
I'll be releasing a version with updated device trees in a while... I've been working on basing my project off the aosp dev branch..

Would the people with fingerprint issues mention the device model (single or dual sim) & attach a logcat if possible?

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] xaaaj:
I'm using E6653 single sim variant i've attached a logcat hope it helps.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
Im not asking for ETA, just to know because i want to flash again but wiping everything. And i dont want to do this twice. When are you going to release this update??.

Im using E6653, i had the same issue with fingerprint in CarbonRom. That is why i want to wipe eveything and try, i will star with flashtool, flash boot, recovery, then wipe all and flash your rom.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] L33Tgod:
I have E6653, fingerprint was working after a 3 reboots after that don't want to work.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Well if it's also there in carbonrom then that means it's an upstream Sony source bug and a new release will most probably not fix it...

It's odd because on the 6683 everything is fine..

I'm monitoring the source and will get back if there's any update. Since I don't own the single sim it's probably not a good idea to try to fix it. That would involve many builds which may or may not even work

This camera works very well it opens every time
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] EDGN:
For me the App comes up, but without Picture and after some Seconds "unablce to connect camera"
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Azrael6947:
Been running the ROM for about three days now. Several issues are present for me that were not in prior builds.

1. Battery saver increases device temperature, and reduces performance severely. When you turn it off, the performance of the device does not return to normal levels.

2. This ROM is less smooth and responsive than previous builds. For me anyways.

On the plus side the fingerprint sensor is working great for me, better than on stock Sony. And the camera is opening more often.

Best of luck with further development.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Which kernel version are you on? Also what was the method you used to update?

I'm sorry it seems choppier... I haven't had any issues yet like that..

I've never yet used the battery saver amazingly :D but that sounds bad. I've only experienced more than average heat during long video playbacks.. Is the issue present even after charging the device?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Nimadroid:
Ok Tnx mate

Any solution for making flashable zip???

And how to get Sony app working???
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Azrael6947:
ROM: Release 7

Kernel: Release 3.4

Completely formatted the internal memory from TWRP, then pushed the rom via fastboot.

Have not tested if the lag occurrs after I plug it in on low battery. I simply restarted the device.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] goRt:
Great work [MENTION=1964056]HaoZeke[/MENTION].

Would it be possible for you to update the thread tittle as I've been ignoring this as dead (not thinking there was an update since 11/11!)

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Try kernel 3.3? I found 3.4 to be a bit dicey
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
For the flashable, no not yet...

Sony apps... Maybe the Sony cross development forum would have more suggestions on that?

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] MitoTakatori:
[MENTION=1964056]HaoZeke[/MENTION], mate I want to try this ROM. I am currently on Exiztenz ROM, what are the steps to flash this? My device is E6683.

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Well, you'll just need to follow the instructions in the op and use fastboot..

Since you're on marshmallow you might need to do a data wipe but, first you can just flash the system(release 7) and the kernel (3.5)

If you get errors after booting then you'll need to wipe data (make a backup) and do a clean install.

Additionally since you're coming from stock you might be asked to format your sdcard (so back that up too)

Most of these steps are one time only. Once you're on any aosp based rom you just need to fastboot flash the kernel and system.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] MitoTakatori:
Thank you very much mate! It really helps! :good:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
[MENTION=1964056]HaoZeke[/MENTION] i tried the V7 amd kernel V3.4 and i cant make it work the fingerprint. Just works the first time and when i reboot the phone oits gone. And before this, when im in the initial guide. I just can add one finger not more cause it makes the phone freeze
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
If you're on the E6653, the fingerprint bug is confirmed to be still more or less present. Just like in carbonrom and stock aosp...

Also, try either 3.3 or 3.5... I'm not too sure about 3.4
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] unsbamir:
any chance it can work on E6853/E6883? ?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
I can very quickly upload a system.img, if your device has an aosp 7.1.1 kernel (a 7.0 3.10 kernel will work too)
