[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zzcat:
Totally understand, and really appreciate everything everyone on this project has done. Sorry to hear about the bad luck you and koekoek91 had with broken and lost phones!

The Z5 is literally the first phone or PDA I haven't rooted or hacked on Day 1 (and I go back a while, been on XDA for 10 years!). I'm still on LB and already on Nougat via OTA, but very dissatisifed with the battery life, so have been following the developments here for a while. I'm probably going to try a patched Nougat kernel first, but will try your MM ROM if that doesn't work out. Honestly, the differences between MM and Nougat are not that huge.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] reubenbrown13:
If someone else wanted to pick up where you left off, do you have any instructions to share about what you did to make SlimX for MM so awesome or would you share your incomplete port to Nougat?

Thanks again for a great ROM. It is so much better than stock in my opinion.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
I'll try to explain a bit why its been difficult to make SlimX for Nougat, [MENTION=6791680]_LLJY[/MENTION] should correct me if I am wrong).

At first he had asked me to take over the SlimX project from him since I still had a Z5 (lost it after that and now I switched to Xperia XZ).

But when I still had my Z5, I tried making SlimX for Nougat.

The thing is... I had it working, but it was a pretty simplistic ROM (just deodexed, debloated and some CPU governor tweaks in the form of Xenon v2 governor profile).

But I think it was just too simplistic and it was pretty much the same as stock ROM, but then debloated.

There were no major improvements compared to stock (battery-life was also still bad, when compared to Marsh Mallow).

So I think he wanted to add some more stuff like... Xperia XZ systemui and maybe other stuff to make it a little more of a special ROM.

But later on the ROM wouldn't boot anymore and we had no idea how to get it to boot.

Nougat pretty much is difficult to build a working ROM for on Xperia Z5... that stands out and isn't just plain simple like stock.

So this is where we pretty much got stuck and [MENTION=6791680]_LLJY[/MENTION] already didnt have any Z5 himself to test and I couldn't get it to boot either.

Some time went by and I was still looking into getting the ROM to boot, but then I lost my Z5 somehow and I have moved on to XZ.

What he wants to do now with the SlimX project he has to decide... I just wanted to share a little about what i've done to try get it done for Nougat :silly:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] reubenbrown13:
Thanks for the feedback.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] GeramanX:
It's OK guys, in my opinion this is the best ROM I've ever seen.

We appreciate your hard work and dedication, it's been a good ride and I understand some people are moving on to newer devices, I'm actually thinking about getting a XZ Premium.

Hope to see you Pokémon developer and all of you guys there, testers, developers etcetera.

[MENTION=6791680]_LLJY[/MENTION], you're pretty good.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
I mean, you can always join me on the XZ forums
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
I so much enjoy my Z5 when i first purchased it cos there where great roms and devs..... But since Nougat came in play, things arent like anymore and guys have upgraded... I really wish i can upgrade to XZ!

Thanks for everything.... Beautiful pple!!!

After testing almost all nougat roms here, i am still drawn back to slimx because of battery and everyting working
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] tosmaniac:
I moved away because of the Bluetooth issues, don't you have any of them?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] klemen241:
i actullay never use bluetooth haha, for me xposed is more important and stability and battery.

ps: anyone fixed he facebook video problem
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] kaakkuri:
Bluetooth not working?

Hello, anyone else have bluetooth issues with this rom? I only recently discovered that my bluetooth is not working with this rom?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] tosmaniac:
It keeps on stuttering, the Bluetooth has been fixed in later builds by Sony. That is the reason why I moved on from this rom.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] kaakkuri:
Any way to get bluetooth working other than changing to other rom?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
Bluetooth worked fine when I last used it
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Eryklok:
Hi, great rom, all around best battery life out of all ROM's but judging by everyone else's battery life posted here I feed like I am not getting the best battery life, I am on V2 and when I go into Kernel Auditor MOD and enable init.d emulation there is no scripts listed, I am on 5.11 firmware flashed via flashtool, fastbooted a kernel, booted into twrp, did a wipe just in case (haven't booted into stock rom) and flashed the rom, waited a long time for first boot and I don't see why its empty, should I add some scripts there or maybe I've done something wrong? also should I use the set on boot function in the kernel auditor, its set on interactive right now and I have not touched it or pressed set on boot, usually I get less than a day of battery life, i use all the tips included in the ultimate battery life guide (Amplify, Greenify, Power Nap, AppOpsXposed) and the call sound when using bluetooth earphones is really quiet, what sound mod should I flash? Thanks in advance, appreciate all the work you've put into this ROM.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
There are NO init.d scripts in this ROM, the configs are executed elsewhere
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Eryklok:
Oh okay. I was following the steps in the first post, so I should disable all settings in kernel auditor? (emulate init.d and set on boot)? I flashed the diva sound mod v4 and not sure if I noticed any difference, its really quiet when using my bluetooth headphones
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Pavl79:
Đoes somebody else also has a problem with stock player that sound gets muted but song is playing. It happens randomly, then I need to pause the song and start it again to get sound on.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] flasta:
hey i don't know what i did wrong but if i install this rom i get a blinking red light and nothing is working and the only way to a working rom is flashing a ftf with flashtool.

i can flash kernel but none worked and i can flash twrp but i can't boot into it. if i have stock rom and flash twrp i can boot into it

don't know what i am doing wrong. the most success was it lkooked like it's booting but then got 3 or 4 times blinking red led and it looped that.

i hope anybody can help me.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] reubenbrown13:
Is your boot loader unlocked?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Juggernaut33:
He couldn't even install rom with locked bootloader.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Patrick Morgan:
This is probably happening because you are flashing the rom on a system that updated or not updated enough.

the kernel the Rom works for is not matching up, so its causing a softbrick or boot loop.

make sure you FTF flash a stock rom based on Android 6.0.1 first.

then flash the patched kernel for that version of Android.

then flash recovery. (or if its already in the kernel you can skip this step)

then flash this rom package.

..

If these steps help you please don't forget to click the Thanks Button
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] flasta:
Thanks for the help. Will try it when I'm back home. ?

Bootloader is unlocked. TA was saved before unlocking ?

Is the camera a lot better than stock Nougat? I want to try some some ROMs but I need to get my DRM keys backed up.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
This ROM is based on Marsh Mallow not Nougat ;)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] tge101:
Right. I'm considering going back to mm if this camera is better.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
I don't know about that. I would say camera is about the same.. but I only took a picture every once in a while when I still had my Z5.

Someone else who uses the camera more often might disagree with me, I dunno.

But personally just for a better camera I wouldn't downgrade to marshmallow, but then again I'm not really a guy who uses his camera slot ;)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] jugglerpl:
Hi. I flashed this rom and mobile works ok, but I haven't Xenon governon in Kernel Adiuktor. Is it normal?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
Xenon is an interactive governor profile, not a kernel governor
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _psychoo:
Hello, just flashed the rom and it seems fine but I'm facing some problems, first one is the lockscreen isn't like the one in the screenshot which is from the X devices, it's the normal old Z5 one, and the second one is the image enhancement feature doesn't seem to work at all, with any picture or video. And lastly, which is unacceptable, I can't record video at all, the camera runs at 1 frame per four seconds which is extremely bad, turned off the intelligence thing and it's a bit better but still not as stock, lags more when it focuses on objects, so any help?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] klemen241:
did you do clean flash with stock rom first? Camera works fine with me
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _psychoo:
Yes, came from 6.0.1 (5.11 build number), unlocked bootloader, installed recovery then cleaned data, cache and dalvik then installed the ROM. Did I do something wrong?

And does the image enhancement work for you?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] LeonardoJS11:
Help!

First Thanks for ur job really, it is better than the stock rom but when I open cpu-z , all cores are working and the device heat over 52c, how can i fix this , thanks again :confused: :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
All cores are supposed to be on and 52C is nothing.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Isn't LPLUG supposed to put 3 big cores offline when there's not much CPU load?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] dicxz80:

sorry about broken link ;)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] dicxz80:
file does not exist :(
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
yes, it does

perhaps upload (or processing) wasn't complete yet at the time you tried

otherwise you need to access it differently

Also: you don't actually need to flash back and forth via XperiFirm firmwares,

e.g. if you're on Nougat (2.33) - just boot into TWRP, backup, wipe and flash SlimX
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] dicxz80:
thank you all for your replies, it is all good now, these are my steps

1. download 5.11 Austria using XperiFirm

2.build ftf file

3.flash boot.img from patched 5.11 kernel

4.flash twrp recovery.img

5.boot to twrp recovery

6.clear data, cache, system, dalvik, install SlimX REBORN 2.0 using twrp

7.install supersu using twrp

8.install this kernel https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72042745&postcount=1632 using twrp

9.install xposed-v87-sdk23-arm64 zip file using twrp

10.re-install supersu using twrp

11.Mobile data is not working because of ROM is based on other country ROM (I use Singapore telco), download APN or manual APN update is required

12.follow this link to disable fast dormancy wakelock

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2382680

so far so good now

next questions

1. do I need to update kernel ? and which one is recommended ?

I am using this https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72042745&postcount=1632 as recommended in previous pages

2. which xpose version should I use ?

I am using this xposed-v87-sdk23-arm64, somehow I lost root but I am not sure whether root lost was because of this or kernel

3.how to uninstall those bloatware with name starting with 3* ? unable to do it via titanium backup

Managed to remove this via TWRP terminal, apk files are in /oem/app

4.double tap not working

double tap to wakeup is working, thank you to this post, but for me I need to change value of folder input1 not input2

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70525479&postcount=1225

alternatively you can activate via kernel auditor

but it is very sensitive :( i get a lot of screen wake when putting phone in pocket

5.fingerprint is not working to unlock when screen is off (not sure whether this is normal)

irrelevant, since now I can double tap to activate screen before doing finger print unlock

6.charging seems slow 1.1 to 1.3 A (value reported by Ampere program), using same charging head and cable I get 1.7 to 1.8A for my MiMax

To downgrade you have to select to wipe everything except SSD in flashtool
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] DA06RA:
Hi there.

I'm having a little trouble. I downgraded the phone from CarbonROM to Slimx, I only wiped the phone and downgraded the recovery from TWRP 3.1.1 to 2.8.

I was thinking about getting back to stock, but I'm not sure about how to restore the nandroid backup, and the last time I used something like Flashtool I totally bricked a phone because some drivers issues with Windows 10 ? the funny part was that it wasn't my cellphone. Well, actually that's not funny, but still.

The cellphone worked great until I notice that it got freeze while using the video recording (I tried different res, from HD to 4k). I restarted the phone and then the video recording started to work again.

Then, while scrolling on Facebook, I tried to play a video but it couldn't, at least not properly, the video player was full of glitches, audio, video time and stuff. Then I realized it wasn't only Facebook videos, all other apps (except the Sony's video player) get me those kind of glitches. Like YouTube, sometimes it works normally, but is pretty annoying when the audio fails, and suddenly I'm in the hour 3 with 47 minutes in a 2 minutes video, and starts to freeze. That's pretty weird tho. I appreciate some help pls.

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] jezzat:
How do I flash a more recent stable kernel?

Can anyone advise me on how to get onto a newer kernel than Zach's 5.11_corona III_1_9_12_7_2_ctl_X (from December)?

I've been running it for some time now, but I'm getting some random reboots, particularly when I make calls using a Bluetooth headset, and this is my daily driver and work phone, so I need stability, and am using SlimX because my battery life on the stock ROM was awful.

Unfortunately, Zach's two latest kernels give me no WiFi, which corresponds with [MENTION=3387653]achari[/MENTION]as.maladroit 's comment below from the Zach's Kernel Playground thread.

I remember that I had the same problem in May when I tried the latest kernel and reverted to the December one, although I thought I was doing it from a 5.11 ROM. Do I need to download the latest stock MM 5.11 ROM from Xperifirm, flash that, then flash SlimX v2.0 Duality (SX86)?

I'm right in thinking I should steer clear of anything Nougat (both stock ROM and Zach's kernels) aren't I?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
All 5.11 named kernels are specifically built to work with 5.11 Marshmallow ROMs,

so not sure why WiFi is supposed to stop working, if anything - it's ROM or Hardware-side issues...

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BykGGWB96CBQeUM0TGQ5ZGtLTmc

You tested the newest 5.11 kernels ?

I've read good things about 5.11_2_6_5-config_t4 , 5.11_III.2.6.5_ctl_X_t9 - if I recall correctly (also give 5.11_III.2.6.5_ctl_X_t7 a try).

Sort the view by date - otherwise you won't get all the latest kernels correctly listed ...

What makes you think so ?

For .160 Nougat there still isn't any custom kernel possible since for whatever reason Alin's Stock firmware/source colleagues still haven't released the source and only give the XZ / X devices the priority treatment

Current 2.33 Nougat kernels look relatively (2.33_Nova_I.1_n_1_9_5) stable,

most battery drainers (if not all) have been removed and if you do not use tap2wake or adaptive brightness - you might even get decent battery runtime (probably even similar to 5.11 Marshmallow, it really depends on usage patterns).

Magisk v13.x is a pretty huge battery drainer for me - so better use v12 (explanation, see: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73412042&postcount=403 )
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] jezzat:
Sorry, I wasn't clear: I want to keep using SlimX ROM, which I think isn't compatible with Nougat kernels. Let me know if I'm wrong, but I think I successfully proved that to myself by flashing 2.33_Nova_I.1_n_1_9_5, which lead to the phone not booting (and even rebooting within a few seconds of getting it into TWRP). I reflashed to a 5.11 kernel through FlashTool.

I couldn't get the two latest kernels (sorted by date) or 5.11_2_6_5-config_t4 to give me WiFi, but 5.11_III.2.6.5_ctl_X_t9 is working.

Keeping my fingers crossed but I just made a 1 hour call on bluetooth without reboot, and am listening to music via bluetooth without the frequent dropouts that I had on the older kernel.

I know you have lots on, but if you ever figure out why WiFi isn't working for me (assuming it's not a hardware issue), I'd be grateful. I'll try your new releases every now and then, though if this kernel is stable, I'll be more than happy.

Thanks!

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] RexD30:
HI,

Here are the things that I did. I was on Nougat before.

1. Flash stock rom Lollipop. Backup DRM.

2. Flash stock rom MM. Unlock bootloader. Flash custom recovery.

3. Reboot to recovery, flash SlimX, Flash t9 SunKernel.

4. Reboot then flash Su, Xposed.

When I install Xposed, I noticed high device temperature. I uninstalled Xposed then.

Also, Music stops playing after a while.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] colorado48:
This ROM is discontinued.

Also maybe it's not Xposed, maybe it's the kernel, I used ROMX before, the newest kernels from Zach made the phone heat up pretty bad.

I chose 2_6_5 cause it had wifi and was the most stable 5.11 kernel imo.

Need help please!

I am new to this website and it seems difficult to navigate but anyways, my problem is I am paranoid over flashing my phone with a custom rom in fears I might brick my phone.... I have an Xperia z5 E6653 model phone and Sony won't bring out Oreo for this phone and I am quite annoyed over this because of the overrated power consumption I have to face on my phone, the 2900 mah battery that was in it depleted within 2hrs so I had to buy a new lithium ion battery with a 4750mah capacity unfortunately it only last an hr longer a big disappointment when it comes to Sony, don't get me wrong it's a good phone but it sucks a huge amount of power regardless of changing any settings! Anyway I was taking a look at one of your custom roms called slimx reborn and it seems to be what I am looking more in maximising my power usage in everyway possible, but I never reformatted a phone b4 and really paranoid in bricking it, I would like more information on flashing my phone to this custom rom in more detail if anyone can provide please, been searching the net for 2 days to see it isn't much different to reformatting a computer with the exception of being bricked!

Rooting

It seems I came to a halt with rooting my device...

It doesn't matter which app I use it fails!!

Tried kingroot, kingoroot, iroot, framaroot, universal root, Android root, one click root and a few others only to come up short.... Half them won't download due to pathetic restrictions tied to downloading and others that I did manage to download only failed and kingroot put me on the wish list....

Done being lied to by people that falsify ****ing claims that this is supposed to be free when it isn't, so in this case it has got me ****ed how any of you did it in the first place,. Unless you guys lied too..... Can't reflash without rooting!! So disappointed in everybody concerned.....

Here's everyone everywhere saying that you opened up your devices, cleaning all the unnecessary sh.it, installing custom roms, and yet I can even root my device! All I am comprehending is more lies from everyone...

I researched for days, followed tutorials, tried several root apps and still fking nothing, I would like to do the same and yet it is impossible to do it... As far as I am concerned none of you have your devices done and I am done with all the misleading bullsh.it I have to comprehend ..

NOT A VERY FKING HAPPY CHAPPY AT ALL..
