[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] K9100ii:
Hi,

I'm glad you at least understand that. Updating the kernel to v3.10.108 was pretty easy for me though, I could easily find what caused issues, as I did it by cherry picking commits.

I know it's bad, I never expected you to be happy at all and never said anything about you needing to be happy, but this custom software comes with absolutely no warranty. When you've installed it, you've accepted that it comes with no warranty, which means that no one is responsible for and obligated to fix any issues that may occur and neither is anyone responsible for any losses you suffer, and no one loses sleep over issues. If you want something really rock solid, you should just use the Sony stock firmware or build AOSP (https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/guides/aosp-build-instructions/ Also, security updates to Android 7 have been discontinued by Google. This is another thing about security updates on LIneageOS 14.1. Security updates have to be backported by someone from newer releases. These backports are only tested by a few people, most of which test on one device only, not various devices with multiple people as it is with the security patches on newer releases on LineageOS. The new backported security patches are at least almost certainly causing the issues you describe if they're not caused by anything in your setup.)

Err, okay, you probably just shouldn't be posting while drunk.

That's assuming [MENTION=9708417]Eric_Lev[/MENTION] (note that I'm not building these builds, in case you didn't know) knows how to debug and fix the issues/how to effectively find and apply patches (provided there are actually any, and there isn't anything else at fault), as like I've said Eric just builds off of the latest 14.1 builds, and has the time to and is actually willing to (if you don't already understand that there must be someone who has knowledge, time and willingness to do stuff in open source stuff, you've missed one significant thing about the concept of open source). Also, that all assumes that backported security updates aren't faulty, and something isn't wrong in your setup. Finally for this, why don't you try fixing these issues yourself if you think they're that easy to fix?

I don't think I'm being inflammatory, I'm pointing out stuff in a harsh way to get my points across properly. You're assuming that stuff will eventually get fixed by someone in any case, but again, if no one has any interest, enough knowledge and/or time to fix something, nothing will ever get fixed, and no one will owe you anything. If you want something to be fixed and no one is able/there to, it's completely up to you, regardless if you can or can't fix it.

You never owed anything to Linus, and Linus never owed you anything, either, not even your sanity. My point is that no one owes anything to anyone. You just have to hope stuff is fixed by someone eventually if you do happen to encounter issues, and if that's not possible for reasons I mention earlier, figure it out yourself.

Your post came across as a ridiculous demand for a fix, as if you're entitled to fixes to issues. You've failed to see that.

[MENTION=9708417]Eric_Lev[/MENTION] doesn't develop anything, again, Eric is just building off of the latest sources, and you're again assuming that Eric has the knowledge, time and willingness to fix issues. Of course, people can just not share changes, but you're assuming that that's what's happening, where it's most likely not the case. The attitude you express on Eric is simply entirely unfair, and is awfully a way to discourage him from doing good stuff.

By the way, I also have this change here I forgot about to make your life better: https://github.com/TALUAtGitHub/and...mmit/3f01d91f98016a59b5335550f87f46845331301a there are massive memory leaks caused by seemp core on LineageOS 17.1, so that change disables it. There are still much smaller memory leaks elsewhere, but with that disabled and those specific memory leaks gone, it's a lot more usable. I found the memory leak in seemp core using kmemleak. seemp core is also unnecessary. [MENTION=6407372]tarkzim[/MENTION], you'd probably also be interested in this.
