Is it just me, or does anyone else not see much hope in this platform? I got into the game a little late and it seems these havent been rootable for nearly a year... Ive been looking for an app that can remotely control any AFTV platform without root, and im not having any luck. Its extremely frustrating to be so locked down and the other android options are sketchy and unstable. :mad: Just going through several websites it seems these lost a lot of support, would I be wrong?
[Fire TV General] clsA:
What's the big deal.

I never rooted mine and it does everything I need it too.

I use a USB airmouse and the Amazon gamepad for Kodi, NES, SNES, n64, Mobdro ect ect.
[Fire TV General] wdcspurs:
Remotely control? Elaborate on that a little. I'm running 2 boxes and a new and an old stick in my house since I cut cable in January. Boxes are rooted, but I haven't gone as far as messing with Xposed with those. Between Plex, Kodi, emulators, Netflix, PSVue (for now) and the fact that I have had Amazon Prime for some time, all of my bases are covered plus some just with one box or stick. I can easily stream from my PC or phone, and watch or listen to whatever I want. What is it you are looking for these to do? Just curious. I would also note that besides the fact that it disables automatic updates and I can update at will, I don't see much use myself for them being rooted. I don't utilize root access on my boxes. Except to get PsVue to run.
[Fire TV General] hyperblu:
I'm flashing my kodi build to a few firesticks for Christmas presents and need to be able to access them remotely/screen share to update them or provide help if it's needed. I am able to sideload TeamViewer Quicksupport and screen share, but the Fire tv OS requires root to actually control input. So now I am limited to file transfers in the background, or casting a pointer on where they need to click. The only way I can think of doing both would be to port forward their routers to use a remote. Just a nice inconvenience I get to deal with.
[Fire TV General] hyperblu:
I've tried just about every option there is. Chrome extensions, splashtop, vnc, all of them run into the same issue.:rolleyes:
[Fire TV General] lafester:
I have a couple sticks nib that have been sitting over a year that should be rootable. Tons on eBay as well.
[Fire TV General] crabbyone:
Why not use TeamViewer or Skype to connect to a PC at the location the device is and do what you need to do? ADBFire will let you side load almost any app from a Windows/Linux/Mac. Small download and easy to use. You can also use ADBFire for SSH access and ADB commands. Putty may work in this scenario as well.

Unlocked bootloader so far , anyone Else had any luck ?
[Elephone S7 Questions & Answers] superstone:
Already had twrp from needrom on it. But did not work.... Flashed complete stock ROM again on it to get it back to work.... I think I will put the phone on eBay again to get some better phone. I should have bought a OnePlus 3T instead....
[Elephone S7 Questions & Answers] LarsHDK:
I think in order to flash twrp u have to open bootloader and make write access first , i will try a little later on mine .Mine is unlocked it says so itself during boot :)
[Elephone S7 Questions & Answers] Oajj:
I think the twrp will work with otg mouse cause no touch otherwise. I will try today and after that port cm 13
[Elephone S7 Questions & Answers] MO5.COM:
Hi ! Any luck on a CM13 on S7 please ?

TWRP works with an OTG mouse. I did flash it with the original firmware just by replacing the recovery.img file by twrp, and voila :)

Buenas tardes,

Hace poco quise cambiar a cianogenmod con el honor 4x, desbloquee el bootloader, el asunto es que cuando instale el TWRP todo bien pero al arrancar el recovery se quedaba en pantalla inicio, instale el CWM y perfecto instaló, pero me sale que es un modelo CHE2TL00H y no me deja instalar ninguna otra ROM, luego cuando intento instalar el recovery original o cualquier otro recovery no arranca en modo recovery el telefono enciende pero no entra en recovery a menos que le deje el CWM, alguien de casualidad tendra los archivos para flashear con flash tool que no sea el archivo UPDATE.APP que como ya saben solo funciona con el recovery original o me den una idea o solucion por que he hecho todo lo posible y nada no se por que solo acepta ese recovery y no ningun otro esta en kit kat pero quiero cyanogenmod o aunque sea el recovery original para instalar la rom original

DOWNLOAD OFFICIAL

DOWNLOAD HOMEMADE

OFFICIAL and HOMEMADE builds are not intercompatible! You will need to do a full wipe if you are switching from one to the other.

CURRENT ISSUES ON OFFICIAL:

1. Incall speaker volume is too low (earpiece volume is fine)

2. Camera sometimes doesn't start (rare)

3. Blutooth and FM radio can't be used concurrently. If you use either you need to reboot to use the other.

4. Double tap to wake doesn't work

5. Adding fingerprints only works on initial device setup. Adding fingerprints from Settings is buggy.

CURRENT ISSUES ON HOMEMADE:

Been trying this out since yesterday. Nice ROM, very smooth. Its great to see an AOSP rom with 90% of functionality. Battery usage is on par with stock.

One bug that I noticed is that if bluetooth is on (regardless of whether it is connected or not), it'll keep a 'bluesleep' wakelock which preents the device from going into Deep sleep.

Edit: Another note on the deep sleep problem. Even after turning bluetooth off, the phone doesn't deep sleep. Other wakelocks (event3, event4, event6) show as keeping the phone awake. Reboot fixes it and the phone can finally deep sleep.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Turnilemikus:
Are you guys still enjoying this ROM?
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LeZiGue00:
Thanks to oshmoun to this amazing ROM i use it every days and i prefer Android 6 for the xposed module
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] speedtoucher:
Fantastic rom! Finally got rid of all the crap Sony bloatware.

However two questions. The camera on the back can now only shoot 8MP photo's. I've disbled the 8MP option in the setting, but it still won't let me shoot 23MP photo's. Is there a way to fix this?

Also the fingerprint scanner doesn't seem to function. When trying to add a fingerprint, it immediately fails (registration cannot be completed). Any fix?
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Deleted member 4819888:
about the camera,you need to wipe camera data after toggling 23MP mode. You'll then see the 23MP resolution in settings.

about the fingerprints, thanks for the hint. This is a bug. Sometimes it works though, so you might get lucky if you try a lot.

also, it's cool to know people are using this rom lol

if you're interested, I can post custom HOMEMADE builds that contain some bugfixes.

Notice though that HOMEMADE builds are signed differently, and won't be compatible with OFFICIAL builds. That means you'll need a full wipe before flashing and booting.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ammarr:
Definitely interested in updates. Do you know if the Bluetooth issue got fixed?
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Deleted member 4819888:
ok cool. I'll post an updated HOMEMADE build.

Main bugfixes are:

1. camera doesn't randomly crash at start anymore.

2. bluetooth doesn't cause device to stay awake

3. bluetooth and fm can be used without rebooting the device inbetween (not concurrently though, using bluetooth when fm is on will disable fm for example)

EDIT: build is done, tested and all seems ok

[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] speedtoucher:
Thanks for the new rom. I'm going to flash it asap and let you know how it works. Keep up the work!
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ammarr:
Tried this out today and it works really well. I'll probably try it out as a daily this week, because the bugs seem quite minor at this stage. I'm surprised that this isn't getting more attention. Since the BT bug is fixed, I'm wondering if the same fix will work for CM13 as well?

[MENTION=4819888]oshmoun[/MENTION] Nice work! I'm not sure how OmniROM works, but what is stopping you from updating official with the same changes?
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Deleted member 4819888:
Hehe well I'm just doing the building. Awesome people from the Sony open devices project helped fix the bugs :)

Official updates for omni 6.0 only come in form of security updates, i.e when Google uploads a new revision. That's why i can't update official that simply. Although to be honest I haven't asked if there are exceptions :p
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] speedtoucher:
I've flashed the rom today and it is working very well. The fingerprint scanner now works fine, even from the settings.

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Deleted member 4819888:
Really? It still doesn't work here.

Maybe it's because you did a full wipe.

Can you try adding/removing fingerprints from settings multiple times please? If it works reliably, that'd be great :D
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Turnilemikus:
I flashed the Homemade version yesterday. I too am able to add fingers after initial setup in the settings. I tried to delete a finger in order to retry but the OS shuts down and reboots.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Turnilemikus:
I believe I found a bug. Homemade version.

While listening to Audio, the whole phone locks up after what seems to be random times. I've listened to audio for a few minutes then it locks. I've listened up to around 45 minutes then locks up. Never more than an hour. If it helps, I've had this occur with Google Play Music, Poweramp, and Pocket Casts apps.

To resolve this, I have to hold power and volume up (Force shut down?)
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Deleted member 4819888:
yeah so it's still buggy I guess. I don't think i'll be able to fix that though, sadly. However, I can confirm that the issue doesn't appear on android nougat.

hmmmm, yes you are right. I was able to reproduce that. I think I know why that happens. I used another fix for mp3 playback. The solution that's used in OFFICIAL is different from HOMEMADE.

well, the good news is that android nougat requires neither lol.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Turnilemikus:
Thank you for your time and the build. I've never seen OmniROM before today.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] speedtoucher:
Today I've tried to add some more fingerprints. But now it fails.

I skipped the fingerprint registration during the initial installation and added 3 fingers later, but now it just fails every time.

I also encountered the audio playback issue while using Spotify today.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] HanSolo_361:
Hey oshmoun :)

I'm enjoying your Homemade!

Herzlichen Dank!

Keep on coding! :good:
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] speedtoucher:
Hi, oshmoun

Still enjoy using the Homemade version. But unfortunately I've encountered another issue...

I can't record any video. When I for example record a video in Whatsapp is starts recording, but when playing back it immediately jumps to the end and won't play. Does anyone else have the same issue?

When using the default camera app as well as Open Camera it records, but I can only play is with Kodi and without sound :(
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
oooh thanks for reminding me of those

so, about video recording:

assuming you have root, open /system/build.prop and remove this line

persist.camera.time.monotonic=0

Reboot, and now you should be able to record (soundless) video :D

and about audio while recording video

also go to build.prop, but this time, add the following line

ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence

After doing that, make sure to remove these two files

system/vendor/lib/libacdbloader.so
system/vendor/lib64/libacdbloader.so

I suggest simply renaming them, or moving them somewhere else

Notice: fixing audio while video recording will break the ability to controll incall volume.

I hope that was understandable, and I'm sorry that I can't publish any more HOMEMADE builds. It's because I switched to omni 7.1 which is running fine at the moment.

Might push a HOMEMADE 7.1 build soon if I'm allowed.

upgrading from 6.0.1 to 7.1 without doing a clean install

Firstly thanks to the author of this excellent custom ROM

I'm running the official 6.0.1 fine (omni-6.0.1-20161218-kugo-SECURITY_RELEASE) but would like to upgrade to 7.1.x without doing a clean install. Apologies if this is a newbie question, but is this possible, and if so, how? I have already been into the setting to try to download an update in the normal way, but when I press "check for update" it tells me that what I have is the latest (obviously not true).

Thanks again
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
It is not really possible without a full wipe I'm afraid.

Your best bet is to backup the apps and their data using titanium backup or a similar app, then flash 7.1 and restore

[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Kianush:
So I upgraded my X compact to official Nougat 7.0 a couple of days back and on first impressions I noticed some lag here and there mostly when scrolling

And I knew that Snapdragon 650 is almost clos to SD810 so what could be the problem because it was awesomely fluid and smooth on MM 6.0.1, so I started to dig up and here's what I noticed:

In CPUz app on MM it shows Qualcomm SD 650 @ 1.8 GHz but today I looked it up and in Nougat it shows Qualcomm SD 650 @ 1.4 GHz!!! And if you look at cpu cores, those 2 last core Cpu4 and cpu5 are stopped (i guess those two are A72@1.8GHz cores right?)

So conclusion is that A72 cores which are the main core to maintain smoothness are offline for some reason so Im asking developers to dig this up and help us out

Thank you
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Miche1asso:
If there is no activity they should be stopped. My old Xperia M2 usually had only 1 core out of 4 active at the minimum clock. Then sure, if something was running in the background all 4 kicked at the hight clock.

I can't check right now with Nougat (my phone is currently updating to it. But it seems to take an awful lot of time. I think it has been updating for 20 minutes or more. Hopefully it's just updating all Dalvik caches or what they are now), but in Marshmallow all 6 cores were always active even with the CPU nearly idle. In my case I think that helped to cause the somehow high battery drain I had (that and plus wakelocks spamming all time).

But sure, if that means the phone will start lagging, screw it. I could deal with a day of battery life, I sure can't deal (again. And then again and again!) with a keyboard showing up after 1 or more seconds also missing the keys while swiping.

PS: it finally installed. You're right. Something definitively looks wrong with it. The cores 4 & 5 are disabled even with Google Play doing some apps updates. Unless it's because CPU Z isn't supporting Nougat yet. I'll have to investigate more via adb.

PPS: It might be the typical placebo effect but it actually feels even smoother now! So I am not sure what's going on.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Kianush:
Nah definitly not smoother!

I Check with qualcomm app and those 2 core are off all the time and it is lagging very bad in many places

If you wanna see the lag you can go scroll fast in call log or install an app like telegram messenger and scrol in chats

And also I played spiderman unlimited game on it and its lagging there no

There was No lag at all on android 6

Guys please report this issue
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] dcro95:
I used CPU-Z and CPU N°4 and 5 seems to be stop.

After few hours I am not sur that there are more lag than before.

I made a test with Antutu, I had arround 75000 before the update, and arround 80000 after the update.

I think I will make a fresh installation tomorrow.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] cingolat:
I don't have those problems....

edit: I HAVE THIS PROBLEM.....
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Kianush:
Guys are you serious?!

You actually dont see the lags here and there? Ieven see it lags when there are some notifications and i wanna scroll em fast

Come on guys!
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] silence8787:
Can someone on 7.0 with the Issue use CPU-Z (from google play) and click on "online validation" and share thr link to the CPU information page here, please?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] cingolat:
you are too much dramatic...... there are some lag but not so much and not so drastic.....

and battery life is much much better on nougat
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Kianush:
Maybe I am but smoothness in compact size was the one and only reason I went for this little guy

And whats the point of havin SD650 if there isnt any A72 cores to operate

And I really prefer a 100% fluid rom than a couple of hours more juice...
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] cingolat:
I agree with you, and hope in a future update to solve this bug(because it is obviously a bug), but for now I can live with this.... maybe I'm lucky, but I don't have big lags, just a little bit here and there..... hope in future 7.1.1 to solve that....

another thing I notice is a louder speaker sound.....
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] kwaille:
Wich rom did you update from to get nougat?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Miche1asso:
I confirm it doesn't lag for me. I checked scrolling through a long chat in Whatsapp and through the list of all my apps in Google Play (the latter has always been slow. Now it loads immediately, that's why I felt it was snappier). Then I tested with Antutu and I have got 74K (not sure why [MENTION=696896]dcro95[/MENTION] has got 80K, though).

Then if you look in Antutu/Info/CPU/More you see that for core 5&6 it says they are disabled. But at the same time it shows the percentage of their are activity (which, being the cores disabled, should be none). I didn't have time to check with adb, yet. But what I suspected and it seems to be confirmed by Antutu is that there might be a "bug" where the values for the cores active have the "read" flag cleared, like it happened with the minfree values in Lollipop with some Xperia (M2 for sure. It was "-w--w-----" instead of "rw-rw----".

Anyway, in case of your very noticeable lag I'd suggest to first check your stamina settings. If I enable the Stamina the phone lags immediately. Either with Nougat or Marshmallow.

Oh, and it mat not matter f you didn't enable the Stamina before upgrading. After the upgrade plenty of my configuration parameters simply went bananas. It changed my WiFi settings, removing the static address. And in the case of an app (but I imagine more of them at this point), it modified the login. I'm sure the login was correct because I had a widget for that app active (and working fine).

PS: my battery life still sucks, though. Actually it is even worse than before. I may have to backup, reset and restore the phone and see if it helps.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] dcro95:
I had a customized FR ROM 34.1.A.3.49, I had the Nougat update by OTA.

I made some test with ANTUTU with Nougat ROM, the results are :

- 80160

- 75600

- 74600

- 80780
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Kianush:
Thank you for you info man but let me explain it to you again

Firstly, what Im saying is on microscopic scale, I do feel even the smallest amount of lag

The laging that comes up after turning on Stamina is waaaay more than the lag that I talked about in OP, of course that is big enough to be seen by anyone!

On android 6.0.1 I didnt see even the smallest lag absolutly nothing! but after the upgrade to 7.0 I was starting to see small lags here and there(you might not even see it! Im very sensitive in this case) like for example when you have 3 notifications try to open notification bar with slow to normal finger swipe down, it lags a little there, and other examples that i said before.

At first i thought maybe the rom is not well optimized but after I saw cpuz I was sure that those cores are off!

On android MM telegram messenger had no lags, nothing! But now it lags a lot when scrolling but i say again this "a lot" is in compariaon to MM! not to Xperia tipo!!!

So I am 100% positive that A72 1.8Ghz cores are not functioning.

Lets go and try to fix that, or wait for an update to fix it.

Have reboot the phone and the core 5 & 6 were activated (up to 1,8)

Just after make it sleep, the core were stopped. Maybe an issue with doze ?

However I can"t say it lag. It maybe a little longer to charge game or big app but I use them to rarely to compare

Same for me, after reboot and used photos, th� where actived and cpu turn at 1.8ghz. 5min after they where disable. I think it depend cpu use. I ve no lag.
