Hello, I'm flashing 5-27, but the voice doesn't work, I try to flash boot.img (4-28), yes, they're back to work
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Thanks so much for pin pointing the problem... I'll upload a fixed boot image soon... For now I suggest Zach's eas LineageOS kernel...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
There's also HMP kernels available (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72477744&postcount=2036)

(as long as the ROM side isn't supporting the EAS scheduling decisions)

so pick your poison ;)

Those who want to go "ALL IN" with the EAS kernel:

you can try to replace the the matching binaries and libraries, then flash the ROM zip-file and see how it goes:

https://github.com/EAS-Project/blobs

Feedback highly welcome :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Excellent... I'll include the blobs in my next release (along with a slightly modified eas kernel)

Would the msm8996 hw lib ever even be used though?

Preliminary test results seen to include better thermal management and less lag. No idea about the battery life until tomorrow..
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Also to everyone confused about what's going on.. Umm.. Basically the issues with the newest release is kernel related...

I wasn't able to reproduce cuz I have been testing a variant of Zach's eas...

I didn't include it in the release cuz I hadn't askedhis permission before...

Now that he's allowed my variant to be shipped with the next release and since he's also supplied blobs for true EAS...

Expect excellence in the next release!

Also you can flash the latest rom then use any other kernel (like Zach's eas) and then copy the blobs using twrp for testing... :)

Apologies to everyone impacted by the kernel issues.. I'll try my best to not let it happen again...

Also I've still got plans for encryption but I haven't the time to implement them yet... Will get to it soon hopefuly... For anyone interested I believe that the changes suggested by [MENTION=4522003]DiscMan55[/MENTION] are perfect but the services need to be enabled in the rc files instead of started (current setup)

Since I'm not able to test this anyone who can should... I'm most eager to get everything upto stock parity asap :D and then go beyond performance and battery wise ?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Devo7v:
Has anybody been able to get this ROM to pass SafetyNet both stock and with Magisk root?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] MichaMichaMicha:
No, have not. I would give up root if it passed Safety Net..

Casting? Working or not?

Hi. I notice casting doesn't see anything. Is casting not working? I've enabled wireless in the little box that drops down but nothing. Just says there are no devices are nearby or something.

Please let me know. Thanks! Or If there is some other setting I need to do.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Yeah this was discussed recently.. There seems to be:

a) no reason for it to fail with Magisk

b) no way to get it to work with any non stock or aosp rom (contradictions welcome)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Casting... I've never tested it in my life nor do I have any devices... I'm open to bug reports with logcats if it's supposed to work in lineageOS
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] mcduffie2010:
I have no problems with casting on the 17-4 build
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Devo7v:
LineageOS should be able to pass SafetyNet with the proper patches added to the kernel. At least based on my reading. Does anybody know if Zach's LOS kernel has the patches?

Unfortunately this patch is not enough to bypass the safetynet cts on LineageOS. Perhaps also need to set some properties like "ro.build.product" (not this exactly)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Panaroma:
Love this rom but can't use it because of the low audio recording.

Video recording with audio is really low as well as normal audio recording.

Tried most builds and the are great except for the low audio recording.

Is there any way to improve that.

Soundmods didn't work better in case of audio recording... :(

Maybe someone got a tip for me?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:

Could that be done by changing values of mixer_paths.xml??
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
Too much disappointed by the Sony Nougat stock rom...

I'll test for this rom tonight (1st time I'll test a non stock based rom...)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
i think XZ and XP has good Nougat update but Z5/Z5c/Z5P/Z3+ Nougat update is whack and even now development for rom since Nougat update is ZERO.

I wish i can leave stock but just too glued to it... yhu can post yur experience brov!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
I'll share my experience for sure.

Well, let's begin...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
[MENTION=1964056]HaoZeke[/MENTION]

I've just flashed your rom :)

I can't flash anything via fastboot, I'd like to flash the twrp recovery built by [MENTION=6362823]kv123[/MENTION], but my device in fastboot mode is not responding... :confused:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] balrajs99:
The device doesn't provide any touch interface while in fastboot.

Make sure you've proper drivers installed and then see if your machine detects it or not by typing the command fastboot devices.

If it shows a ID, it means your phone is connected properly.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
Thanks for your help.

Yes, I know what is fastboot mode.

It did work when I was using the Sony stock rom.

Z5 drivers should the same, whatever the rom, no??

I don't feel confortable without fastboot mode :(

Presently, I use twrp that was built for the stock rom, does it work fine with LOS ? (flashing mods works fine, but I've not yet tried to restore a backup...)

BTW, I use Zach's kernel for LOS.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
Stock Twrp doesn't work for LOS and related rom......
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] SinisterSloth:
I am using TRWP 3.1 from a stock image thread. Should work fine when on the recovery partition (not built into kernel), but obviously the built in kernel recovery *should* function correctly with ROMs
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
This is likely a pb with drivers. I've just realized that I've done the Windows 10 Creator Update few days ago. After every Windows major update, Z5 drivers must be reinstalled...

I'll do that tonight after work.

Yes, same for me. Did you try to restore a backup??
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] SinisterSloth:
Yeah I've successfully restored previous backups (system, data, etc.) from stock, CarbonROM and Lineage
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] 4RM4N1:
I would suggest this Recovery:

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/development/recovery-twrp-3-1-1-0-z5-t3618119

No problems yet. I'm always restoring between CarbonROM and Lineage, cause I always wanna now if these things that I missed / not working gonna be added / fixed.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nailyk:
Take a look at multirom. Maybe it exist and you could get dualboot on your device.

imho cross testing is really good for helping your devs but could highly reduce your emmc life.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] balrajs99:
Yes, exactly that happened with me, after reinstalling drivers and adding adb and fastboot tools folder path to environment path variable ( if you want to open the powershell anywhere and still want to use adb and fastboot ), it worked.

Also use twrp built by kv123 ( you can find that 2-3 pages back ) it fixes sdcard not showing in recovery + its latest version.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nailyk:
You can try this https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/live-iso-adb-fastboot-driver-issues-t3526755

Aux not working

Hi,

I'm using the latest version of the ROM on E6683.

Everything is perfect, the only issue is that the audio out is not working (neiter on 3.5mm port nor speaker)

Here's the log...

P.s. : I've clean installed everything...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] MichaMichaMicha:
Have you flashed another kernel over the 27-05 build? The 27-05 build has some issues with the kernel. (I had no sound when in phonecall)

A useful tip to make animations faster:

Go in developpers' option and set all to x0.5

[MENTION=1964056]HaoZeke[/MENTION]

Could you fix that in the next build? Default animations speed is way too slow.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Mr. Cube:
So, everything works with this kernel? I mean stable for daily use. :confused:

Also, is this install order right:

1. Wipe System, Cache, Data, Dalvik

2. Flash LineageOS (27-05)

3. Flash Custom LineageOS Kernel

4. Flash Magisk

5. Flash MicroG

6. Reboot

7. Flash MicroG Patcher

8. Reboot

Am I right or wrong?:confused:

Thx
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] MichaMichaMicha:
I came from an older HaoZeke rom. Have done step 2, then 3, then 4 and then flashed Gapps. Have not tried MicroG.

Have been using it for about 2 weeks or so, no problems so far.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Mr. Cube:
Ok, so how's the battery performance? You are probably using OpenGapps right? :confused:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] MichaMichaMicha:
Yes, sorry. I am using OpenGapps. Battery is fine. Not sure how it competes with other roms, but cannot complain. Why don't you get MultiROM and try it?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Mr. Cube:
Well, I don't know, MultiROM is a little bit too tricky for me. I always create a backup of my current Rom with TWRP, then I test a newer version. If it works I stay, if not I use the backup.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
I cannot enable any live wallpaper with this rom :confused:

BTW, great rom, works fine with Sony apps...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
Sony apps from forum or default sony apps??

Support for otg?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
Some Sony apps are available via playstore thanks to a magisk module (Walkman, Album...)

Some others come from xda forum, there are several threads of ported Sony apps, latest or nearly latest versions are available, they work all fine. Only Conversation Sony app has not be ported yet (and Sony Camera of course...).

AFAIK, OTG support will be included in the next build.

Overall, I'm happier with this rom than with the stock one.

I can't say yet much about battery life because I'm constantly tweaking, modding and rebooting and therefore my stats are biased. I can just say that I can now use third party audio effects apps without draining my battery too much :)

I use Google Camera 4.3 which is really good and works fine.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
Nice review brov.... Might look over to tha rom!

Might wait for tha next version and see... Google camera okay?? Im gonna miss Xnext Camera.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] crisout:
Hi guys I'm trying to install this rom, I just have a question, where can I find the microg zip files?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
Why not flash opengapps ?

It works perfectly fine for me

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] crisout:

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] arismelachrinos:
Just installed the rom and it is super awesome. I would like to recommend a feature though.When i have a PIN for unlocking a device, it would be great not to press the tick every time i type the pin, but do it automatically.Not a huge thing , but it definitely come in handy. Thanks a lot for the rom.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] crisout:
Great rom, I just finished install, I have a question, does anyone here having the issue with the screen blinking?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
Not really.

But the adaptative brightness is not always very smooth, if this is that you want to say.

Guys, I've done tons of tests.

The best camera fully working for this rom is Open Camera. Perform great even in low light conditions (not Google Camera...)

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] WookieLance:
Well I have no idea how to install this ROM.

I have Unlocked Bootloader & Backed up TA Part.

I flashed a stock E6653_Telstra AU_1298-3443_32.3.A.0.376_R6D after the downgrade to 51.1 which was used to do the above.

I have NO recovery no TWRP recovery installed. So I thought okay, I need too install TWRP before I can wipe all and flash this in recovery. So I downloaded lineage_twrp_recovery.img then fired up SDK Tools and ran

fastboot boot lineage_twrp_recovery.img

This appears to have completed okay without error, however when I power down the device and power it on while holding VOL UP there is no recovery.

Sorry to sound so noob but honestly the hoops one jumps to get ROOT on the Z5 lol. I have rooted my older Z2 many times and used TWRP many times. I believe I have done all the steps required to go ahead and install a Rooted ROM such as this.

All I am trying to do is install this so I can get root access TWRP, so I can install Magisk so I can use Android Pay and use Titanium Backup to remove bloat and then install a few scripts to get my old bright flash mod installed again and install Ad blocker.

Edit:

I tried to flash Z5_AndroPlusKernel_Permissive_v43 with fastboot as well before trying anything about TWRP for this ROM, however, it didn't take upon rebooting my device checking the device about in settings I was still using the factory kernel in the firmware.

Edit2:

Okay I was savvy enough to figure out my silly error. I had to do

fastboot flash recovery lineage_twrp_recovery.img

Then I was able to boot into TWRP :good:

Sorry for seeming so noobious I really never flash my phones that often I only began doing it now as the device is no longer the flagship and I am up for an upgrade on my contract. So now if I am right I should be able to simply put the ROM onto my SDCARD and wipe all and flash the ROM and reboot.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] WookieLance:
Alrighty got a bit of a problem with this ROM.

I got it to flash just fine, most of it works no issues, Installed Mini OpenGapps because I don't like the alternative just too much going on for my liking with the recommended Gapps install I tried a couple versions of Nano Gapps and all of which didn't give me the apps out of the box.

I HAVE ONE BIG PROBLEM with this ROM so far -

Sound does not work!!! nada, not a single sound only vibration works, all sounds do not play not even in Spotify, no call sounds, no notifications sounds nada zip!

I am running the latest version of this, the one with fingerprint unlock fix and all that good stuff. I checked the about page in settings everything looks good there, and root access is working with the LinageOS addon.

Edit

Alright, this one seems a bit unstable for me going to use try out your daily driver bro PixN and give it a try.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nikiticos:
Temperature

Anyone else is having temperature issues? Mine is getting extremely hot even with the screen off.

I installed this rom two days ago with Zach's kernel (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72477744&postcount=2036), open gapps, magisk, Greenify. I'm happy with this rom, very stable, very reliable, but the temperature of my device is over 40°C (104°F).
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
Fix done. Just flash the attached zip it in recovery.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] RaveBeforeBreakfast:
Heating and sound issues

I flashed this today and I'm also having the issues that WookieLance and Nikiticos described.

There's no sound at all. Even connecting headphones I don't get a crackle as I normally do when plugging in headphones, so it's as if no power is being sent to the 3.5mm jack. Speakers also don't work, and videos don't play as a result of no audio. I also can't record any video in OpenCamera, Snapchat, or Google Camera. Pictures work fine.

I also have heating issues, even when the device is sleeping.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
The latest version needs a custom kernel like zach's
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
The temperature issue (at least for me) is only when the phone boots up cuz of media scanner..

Once that finishes it shouldn't heat up

Hi do you have any Z5 Premium version? E6883 Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
I will be back to stock for a while.

This rom is a good rom but the SOT is really too bad (only 2h, to compare to 4h for stock...)

I've not found why...

F*cking stupid stock 7.1.1, music listening still drain battery as hell...

Let's go for CarbonRom...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
haha - who you're telling that - yeah, all the recent devices appear to lack dedicated sound offloading chip or it's not used in non-stock apps and non-stock Music player :(

what music player did you use on LineageOS or Stock ?

with Sony's Music app (without enabled effects) it appeared to be roughly 1% (more like 1.5%) per hour with occasional looking up words via dict.cc app (android 7.0 , 2.33)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
I do not thing that has to do smthg with the hardware since the issue has appeared for me from Nougat 7.0, with MM it was fine.

I always use Sony music with Sony equalizer enabled.

According to my tests, the music battery drain with Nougat depends of the rom:

LineageOS (less drain) < Stock < CarbonRom (awful drain, even with inbuild vanilla music app)

And about the SOT, that's the contrary:

CarbonROm > Stock > LineageOS

So, finally, it seems that the best compromise for me is Sony stock rom... But I'm not very happy with its about 3.5%/h music battery drain :(

There is no look to take, it is a LineageOS decision.

This is a DRM sh*t and shouldn't exist. Please boycott!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Devo7v:
From what I understand, this isn't a "true" LineageOS ROM. [MENTION=1964056]HaoZeke[/MENTION] has made tweaks to the ROM (for instance, including support for Substratum) so he can continue to try to patch the kernel for SafetyNet. The intent of my comment wasn't to get LineageOS to pass SafetyNet, it was for [MENTION=1964056]HaoZeke[/MENTION] to look at patching the kernel he has included in this ROM or as an alternative provide a separate kernel with the patch that could be flashed over top this ROM.

With regards to LineageOS not including SafetyNet bypass by default, I completely understand this. They are not trying to draw ire from Google similarly to the way Kodi doesn't condone streaming copyrighted materials. In both cases they say they are against but there is nothing stopping other developers from adding that functionality back in. They way I look at it, it's purely a statement to cover themselves in case anybody comes looking for somebody to hold responsible.
