How's the battery life you guys get?

Mine is kinda disappointing. I had Facebook, Messenger, Line, Instagram and some other vital apps installed, and Magisk flashed.

After 12 hours there's 3 hrs of screen usage. Battery went from full to 34%.

Advanced battery usage shows this:

Apps 39%

Phone idle 12%(10h 2min)

System 12%

Mobile network standby 2%

The phone idle and system are too high IMO but I don't know what could be the problem.

Hi,

i allready unlocked my device, have twrp, root and TA-Backup flashed. Is it possible to do a factory reset and then flashing the ***.zip by twrp or must i flash everything by fastboot like shown on the first post?

ROM has a nightmode (bluelight filter) included?

Hi there,

is force_encryption activated in the ROM? If so, was anyone able to use twrp on this? I tried all of the versions in this forum, however it never fully works out.

FM Radio

Excellent description. I did it in my phone. It is awesome. Only thing I did differently was used TWRP as recovery.

Can you please let me know how to make the FM Radio working and how to relock bootloader after the set up is finished?

Experience so far / how to root this?

*Disclaimer,I might have messed this up.

Followed instructions and everything worked. I may have borked it by then flashing twrp 3.1 as recovery. Then I tried to flash supersu.

Long story short I ended up with a totally borked /data. Twrp couln't mount it etc. Root worked but bugged about the binary every single reboot. Viper would never install it's driver. Couldn't even format it via twrp. Eventually ended up in a boot loop. So started over. Now back to this rom stock. ( Not flashing twrp this time)

SO. My question is, if possible what's the best way to root this? I can't live long without viper4android.....

thanks

Flash Magisk via TWRP. I used this https://xdaforums.com/x-compact/development/ub-twrp-v3-2-1-xperia-x-compact-t3793837

I have not been able to use this TWRP to backup but it works enough to flash Magisk to root it, plus Xposed.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] j1tters:
After using this rom for a few weeks now here's what I've noticed. ( Some of this might be Oreo and not the rom. Also some of this might be fixable, I just haven't had time).

Only additions made from the instructions was to flash magisk. Then viper4android as a downloadable module for magisk.

1. TWRP doesn't work. See above posts. Turnilemikus is correct, magisk gets you root. Which in turn got me viper4android which is all I wanted.

2. Battery. Much worse than 7.1.1, at least for me. ( Must turn off adaptive brightness here. Made a big difference. )

3. Getting hot. This is a new thing. Under 7.1.1 never once say this. Under 8.1 it gets warm playing youtube etc.

4. Apps resetting when flipping between apps. If I'm listening to pandora, flip over to my email, then back, it resets. As in it starts a new song as if you had just opened it. ( This is probably the most annoying feature. )

5. Bluetooth weirdness. If I go from bluetooth to a cable, like headset to my car, sometimes going back to bt there is no audio. It connects, just silence. You have to turn off bluetooth, reconnect and then it seems fine.

6. That annoying "your hardware is broken, contact manufacturer" error that comes up every reboot. I think its just a .prop file difference that needs to be fixed.

All in all I like the rom. I would go back to 7.1.1 though if I could, for me that was the perfect setup for this phone so far. Unfortunately twrp is unworking so no way to restore. And like I said, I'm not complaining, just passing on what I've found. My guess is most of these are oreo quirks.

There should be a warning that if you flash this you can't go back to a twrp backup. ( Maybe you can, but I haven't figured out how).
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] levone1:
As long as you don't care about saving your AOSP, you could probably just fastboot a boot img from a different rom, then fastboot twrp img, then boot to recovery and restore...
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] j1tters:
Ah ok, I hadn't thought about that. Once I started seeing the twrp errors, I decided to let well enough alone.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Cazman10:
Hi, first of all, thanks a lot for this ROM, it seems to work really well, apart from battery life being a bit worse as discussed.

I see there is a new OEM image from Sony since I flashed this rom, I'm just wondering if I can flash only the OEM image without flashing anything else at the same time?

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jeaust:
I have flashed the new software binaries and my phone booted correctly. Started phone in fastboot mode and flashed only the oem.img as described in first post. I used the kernel 4.4 version, as I am not sure if the 4.9 alpha would be a wise choise yet.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] maluus:
Hey, I'd tried earlier versions of this rom few months ago. Back then fingerprint wasn't working properly. how is it now? is it usable somewhat like stock? and how bad is battery life compared to stock?
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Turnilemikus:
Fingerprint works great. I can't attest to the battery life bc I have chargers at work and it's typically charging all day. I I like this ROM and would recommend it for sure. As always, YMMV depending on your own uses.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] maluus:

Gapps

Hello! How do you include the Gapps? I've build my own build from source but i can't get install the Gapps. I installed it from TWRP but it gives me every time a boot loop. I've tried OpenGapps (Pico / Stock) and MindGapps. Thanks for your help.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jd22:
Hi,

the GApps are included in the source code of sonyaosp. I think that it installs by default the GApps variant "micro". You can change the configuration of GApps in the file ./vendor/sonyaosp/gapps/gapps.mk. A description how to configure GApps can be found here:

opengapps/aosp_build on Github. Be aware that David has changed the location of the gapps configuration file in his source code.

There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details.

There is no Mobile network, nor Mobile data. It says "No service" and I tried with 3 different SIM cards. :(

Or does this mean, I have to update something? If so, I don't know what to update.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Kalimohan:
Another thing is that banking apps and a remote control app does not work. These apps abort because of a rooted device. Definitely it is not rooted with this AOSP. But it looks like a rooted device for (some?) other apps.

What now?

This happened to me few times when restored twrp backup. I couldn't find a solution and flashed stock and solved.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] matteobikk90:
..

so that means I cannot have a custom rom installad on my phone because I tried this AOSP after OMNIROM with same issue. By stock you mean to install the original SO that this phone provided?
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] maluus:
Well, not exactly. You can install custom roms. But as I understand, some parts of the whole OS thing comes from stock sony firmwares and even after installing custom roms that bits of stock firmware persists and allows the OS work properly. (I'm not a developer so I can't say which parts.) so custom rom developers asks you to flash latest Sony stock rom to ensure rom installs and works as intended. By stock rom they don't mean the exact firmware you unbox your phone with, but a firmware comes from Sony. You can use the latest version provided by Sony. After that you can flash custom rom. And this is not necessarily always the case. You may flash a custom rom over another one without problems but if a developer indicates that you need to flash that particular rom only over a stock rom, probably there is some reasoning behind it and its advisable to follow the indications. I hope I could explain.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] matteobikk90:

yes I defintely got it. I will try to re-install a stock one, in case of xperia x compact the last one is 8.1 and then this ROM on top of it otherwise I will wait a bit and then try AOSP Pie 9 :)

Hello all,

Just bought this unit a few weeks ago. I updated it to the latest firmware, and everything is working great.

The only problem I am having is when I am on a call, the person that is talking to me voice is all distorted and modulated. The person on the other end can hear me just fine though.

I have already done a factory restore, that did not fix the issue. I am using a galaxy s7 with the unit. Is anyone else having this issue?

Don't think so.. Could give alot of issues also. Is it really needed for that extra 30s you spend?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Explorer23:
Can't. Even a full nandroid backup messes up fingerprint data.

That thing is secure for a reason. If you could simply back up fingerprints and restore them, you'd have a huge security hole.

Example: backup fingerprint on your device, get hold of someone else's device, restore your fingerprint to it.

Kinda pointless then, isn't it?
