[Xperia Z3 Android Development] HaoZeke:
PixN Rom

​

** Theme friendly ** Substratum ** Clang ** Custom Settings **

This is my daily driver which I update occasionally depending on weather I need/want new features. There won't be any OTA's because of work. Do please also check the Credits section, and the Screenshots tab.

Please use the Feature Request tab for feature inclusion requests.

It's also very hard to keep track of bugs reported here in the comments so please, again, use the bug reports tab...

I'm very thankful to everyone commenting, it's just hard to keep track sometimes, and seeing as DevDB has all the features required...

Since I also use XDA Labs which has no DevDB support it'd be best to comment AND add the comment in the required DevDB tab..

I don't own this device, but everything should work.

Didn't get time to check the gapps thing. Install the necessary version (7.1.1 Arm)

Working

Everything ought to be fine.

Partially Working / Buggy

Sometimes these wakelocks prevent deepsleep. Disable the services and use suggested apps to fix. (as reported by @Sh4douw)

All the KERNEL bugs of AOSP are present

Release 3

Sorry but these are mostly due to a rushed release. ALL of these WILL be fixed asap.... All done!

The LED won't turn on while charging, but it still charges and shows the animation. (Fixed in 4)

The power button sometimes causes random reboots (Fixed in 4)

Power menu isn't themed yet (Fixed in 4)

The omnigears settings look like they don't stick (checkboxes) but they actually do (My settings do stick in 4)

Release 5

These are to be removed in the next release

The statusbar battery in the icon doesn't work. Everything else does. (Fixed in 6)

Lockscreen shortcuts don't work yet (Fixed in 5.5)

Lockscreen voltage and charging current doesn't work yet (Fixed in 5.5)

Weirdly I managed to get the advanced reboot menu to turn up while using the Power Off option too so for now to really turn it off you'll need to choose bootloader :D (Fixed in 6)

Not Working

Inbuilt Recovery (Weirdly) (Use the one for your device)

Gapps (You'll need to uninstall gapps with the opengapps uninstaller and then reinstall the right version (arm, 7.1.1) for your device; in my hurry the gapps bundled are all arm64. Hence the crashes. )

Suggested Extras

Recovery

SuperSU (suhide causes bootloops)

Magisk with phh's Superuser (New root interface with persist options)

AutoMagisk for hiding root

Assistant Enabler Zip Or App

Substratum

Substratum Pixel Theme

Naptime & Doze for better standby drain.

If the brightness is too dim you can turn the dimmer on and off by the following

Please feel free to report more bugs, or even request more features but I'm not a dev so, no guarantees.

Installation Instructions

Eventually these will be flashable zips, however right now they're causing an error (IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device)

Extract both boot.img and system.img from the relevant Release folder which has Leo

So for now install by fastboot

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery_3.0.2.img

I don't recommend wiping userdata via fastboot so if you want you can always factory reset or clear Data, Cache, Dalvik and System from TWRP.

Downloads​

The DevDB downloads are for the system.img and boot.img files only. They're in 7z cuz otherwise I can't upload them.

Beta Release 6

Sadly this release is not on DevDB.. Since DevDB won't finish attaching files as of 1st Jan and I don't even know if it'll be back. I'm really hoping for a basketbuild account, cuz then I'll be able to serve OTA's. Anyway.

For now due to popular demand this release, Release 6 is uploaded to MEGA.

Go to PixN/Roms/Release 6/Leo

The link to the folder is

Beta Release 7

Back on DevDB.

For mobile users to get to the downloads section just hit the big [https://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=18707#downloads"]DOWNLOADS[/URL] button.
