New updated RR build at https://drive.google.com/open?id=1K6l-IdcpP3M55ZbNnbNSerJ2g-Z26-h9

the "stock" kernel has been updated to have all the fixes & mitigations against "KRACK" (WPA2 vulnerability) and additional security fixes & a few battery optimizations

This time no custom kernel will be available for some time since the current one is under heavy development & unstable/experimental (and I'm short in time)

System -> About phone -> About -> Changelog

as a summary

wireless DB updates

serial driver updates

tons of bluetooth driver updates (this should reduce/fix issues with listening or calling via bluetooth) [there are potentially more fixes in store but I haven't ported them over to the "stock" kernel yet]

ARP spoofing protection

various net subsystem updates

ROM-side changes from LineageOS or RR
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] saiz136:
What are the changes? Only kernel?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
November security update (the WPA2 updates were there on October / September already), now the kernel-side (stock) got additional security enhancements I added,

Interest in testing an experimental kernel ? (

bluetooth connection reliability, latency, etc. test

)

Anyone has a bluetooth headset or bluetooth car connection + connection timeouts, issues in general ?

I've read about those with Stock ROM but not sure if those also occur with custom ROMs ...

There are a few significant latency reducing changes in the experimental kernel branch that I worked on and this might help A LOT,

the kernel might not be entirely stable or daily driver material but it nevertheless needs a bit of testing to see how well it works in the area it has been optimized for (cutting down latencies, bluetooth changes, etc.).

Let me know if there's interest for it :)

Disclaimer:

it might get into

bootloops (continuously)

might be unstable

might consume A LOT battery

might behave inconsistently (sometimes quick, sometimes slow)

might eat your data (so have backups both on your phone and your PC/laptop ready)

might have VERY LOW latency (little lags)

other weird or nasty stuff

Hello, first oft all many thanks for this outstanding Rom. I would Mike to ASK if you know if there is a kernel with sound driver for your rom? The Sound option is not aviable in Kernel Adiutor.

Volte Patch

[MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] Running latest build..still testing..but running till now fine and smooth. Thanks for keeping it upto date. Only one request I've, if you're free can you look into VoLTE? I've tried many patches, but its not working. Some force closes dialer process due to library conflicts ( I've used patch from moto g4 or similar forum ). I knew it wont work, but tried anyway!. Please?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] abhijithsvarma:
Good work

Rom working perfectly.Thanks for your continued commitment. You are a role model for everyone . But it is not November security patch. That's not a problem . :):)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] balrajs99:
As far as I know, Google has stopped working on 7.1.2 branch. But [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] has included his own patches, please read changelog posted by him. All the latest patches are included in the rom. Correct me if I'm wrong [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION]. ?

Hiya, I'm browsing around for a new rom/kernel (currently rooted stock and drm fix) and this is the most active as per users and dev support (which is awesome!). But I'm after better battery life and I saw that there's extra battery drain on this one? On stock 7.0 my z5 is already miles away from 2days of life with hours of SOT. I've read about the LXT mod which significantly increases battery life, but is it working with this one? Like, with proper battery boost? Also, Zach, Could you point me to a reasonably recent thread containing info how to backup my rom/kernel?

Cheers!

Hey zacks, I'm happy to test for you, I have a bluetooth wireless headset as well as bluetooth car - i have had minor bluetooth connectivity issues, where it stuggles to tell the difference between my car, and my headset but have managed to just modify settings to stop auto-connect.

But if you have anything that needs testing I can help you out, as i have a charger at work and plenty of data on my phone

Hi Speeder, there are plenty of posts and threads that relate to this, all you have to do is use the search tool.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
[MENTION=3949132]smiley.raver[/MENTION] okay great :)

I'm mostly looking for testers that have had bad experience with high latency spikes in bluetooth audio, bluetooth calling, etc.

Unfortunately I've no bluetooth devices (headphones, etc.) whatsoever so cannot test

Like I wrote before the kernel is highly experimental (rt-kernel, increased/improved threading, guaranteed constant lower latency with a tiny bit increased higher latency; bluetooth & related latency reductions, etc.)

So FULL data backups are advised - no guarantees that it'll be stable,

I've had reboots in my pocket with latest RR build (14.11) but that seems to be due to changes originating from LineageOS (Z5 compact, etc. users also reported reboots in their pocket).

For improved smoothness touch/input boost can be set to 1.2 (or 1.3 GHz) on ALL of the little 4 cores,

switching to conservative governor might make things consistently smooth

I've experimented with the occurrence of workqueues and making them unbound, raising priority, etc. to see where potential knobs for improved performance/lower latency are possible.

Also: the battery consumption might be higher than the previous custom kernels - that could be due to the rt-changes (approx 50% are applied, ~ 200/400 changes) or other changes

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Hi Ry Chy® ,

the seems to work okay with the optimized Stock Kernel,

unfortunately I cannot provide enhanced custom Kernels at the moment with FauxSound,

I'm forced right now to take a pause (and I've switched to Stock ROM with Stock kernel), will continue kernel dev once my current study project is finished

Well, VoLTE is tricky thing, afaik I've posted links to patches and references to the Z5 compact lineageOS thread (or Z4 ?) but couldn't find my post right now,

there's a general lineageOS configuration side & Z5 changes specific to our devices,

Currently no free resources so can't look into it right now,

I realize that it's a "big thing" in India where lots of the phone functionality is transferred via LTE but unfortunately it's only available on Sony Stock right now, sorry

Yeah, added mostly newer kernel-side changes, the ROM-side changes for "KRACK"/wpa2, etc. should be there

Yes, it's "usual" that there's more battery drain on the non-stock ROMs,

the kernel already got the improved battery capacity and fuel gauge handling, unfortunately capacity is ~ 60% of stock (it really depends on how you use it),

when using an aggressive tuned interactive governor (the "Heimdall" mod script, e.g.) will help to cut down power consumption.

If you're referring to unlocking the bootloader and backing up the TA partition - no idea, I never had the chance to do so, so others are more qualified in that area

You could try out stock 7.1.1 Sony Nougat ROM (160) with my latest BreachKernel for it, that one also has the battery tweaks to allow for more efficient battery, last time I just used it for video watching (offline) I reached close to 9 hours of SOT (~ 6 hours of movies & occasional browsing web, reading ebooks, etc.)

I'm currently too short on time and under stress to be able to release a quality kernel for 32.4.A.1.54 stock ROM
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] balrajs99:
SafetyNet broken.

Thanks for acknowledging [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] . :o

Idk if its with my device but, before latest build, the basic integrity was passing in safetynet test in magisk, but in latest build its broken. Its because I was using a google's new paymemt app in India, it was working fine before I came on latest build and yes I've flash the latest beta of Universal SafetyNet fix but no luck :( . I just wanted you to know that. :p
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] SpeederT12:
Well my battery life on Stock is already god awful so it getting a bit worse would be fine. Seriously, with the gSam Battery stats info on average i get 9h5xminutes of battery life with 5h 37m active. That's way to little for the 2 days I should get. On that note, what's a good kernel that I can use with your rom? Could I use the LXT battery mod?

Cheers!

Hi! Latest build of rr rom very serious! Work perfect,very fast, and stable!

But kernel facula 2.3.9 often hangs up the phone, it hangs in a deep sleep, it happens and so the recharge of a flathead is smooth .. when I listen to music online, or I read the forum. from this I can not understand how it keeps the acb, you say that 60% approached the power consumption as sink the Sony stock, but purely on the cape I fly away the charge of battery .. faster than on the sink core from rr
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Ry Chy®:
What Kernel are you talking about? Is it the one built in the room? Can't find facula 2.3.9!!??

will be testing this over the next few days and weekend and will let you know how I go.

---------- Post added at 08:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 AM ----------

If you read the post, this is for testing for Bluetooth, as zacks doesnt have any bluetooth devices. he does advise in his post that this kernel is not stable and not a daily driver, if you are having issues, go back to the previous kernel(if you backed it up before flashing the unstable kernel).

Not sure of the importancy of the scripts, nor their purpose. You need to Download Smanager and then run the scripts in there. Make sure to toggle "Run on boot"!

[MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] How would I go on to setting Zram swap? Ram Expander or Kernel Aduitor? In KA there's nothing mentioning an ext sd card, while ram expander seems to require one (and I do not use one at the moment).

Hi,sorry for annoying question.. is there any way to install sony stock camera on RR??

Love sony stock camera, but also love RR :'(
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] balrajs99:
Unfortunately No :( .

The Camera port that is in Sony Cross device section will not work in Z5 as Z5 has different sensor than the previous models. So it will only force stop or cause bootloop.

So unless someone ports the framework files for camera, you cannot use it.

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] shehabskull:
Everything works fine so far thanks [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] for this gorgeous work ! But I have a few notes that I hope anyone can help me to deal with it :

> Huge battery drain while screen is off ( I will try to calibrate it )

UPDATE : Fixed by calirbation

> Ambeint dispaly is not working or available in settings ( I access it from QS )

> Smart storage FC settings/storage/free up space ) I will send a logcat later

UPDATE : Fixed by installing the 7.1.2 version of smart storage APK

> No icons for settings shortcuts ( battery / data usage / Wi-Fi ) I will take a look inside the APK

> It's cool to have alaram and wakelock blocks built-in in settings but how to use them without turning my phone into a toast ? :v

And one more thing.... I am running on the same kernel which comes with the Rom and enabled the scripts using Smanager ( I created a folder in System/ETC called scripts and moved the sh files to it and of course set the right permissions ) am I missing anything ?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] abhijithsvarma:
Any developments on oreo?? Just curious
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
yep, behind the scenes convergence of the single kitakami (Z5, Z4/Z3+) device trees and other stuff

no ETA, this takes some time - but now you know that there's development going on :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
it's optional, the HMP-scheduler tweaks are mostly only for the Facula SunKernel releases, the swap tweak script will make swapping and read-in much quicker, it's not needed by default though since RR/LineageOS doesn't use swap by default

Kernel Adiutor MOD [ https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/kernel-adiutor-mod-singularity-kernel-t3333549 ] that is what I used, not sure about KA,

wouldn't use ext sdcard "real" swap, it's really slow, even with the swap tweaks

connect headphone, turn on, switch to the channel list -> first startup fails (???), close the app, start up again, go to the channel search - most likely will fail again but now it should activate successfully,

then tune to your channels manually via the buttons

I'm deferring that to the following answer:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74726745&postcount=923

Myself5 has much more knowledge with bringing up devices :o

with stock kernel ?

the custom ROMs suffer from increased drain, so use of wakelock blockers, XPosed, Greenify, aggressive Doze, etc. is recommended

probably needs changes to ROM to get it

https://www.xda-developers.com/overlay-ambient-display-sony-xperia-z5-xz/

wasn't interested in it yet & haven't had time so far

okay

okay, thanks

alarm blockers aren't exactly blockers for the timer, or "clock" per se but might be, your mileage may vary but under certain conditions blocking wakelocks is the only way to get somewhat reasonable battery runtime

heimdall_5_mod can be used to increase smoothness (at cost of slightly higher battery consumption) + also reducing battery consumption with interactive governor,

it really depends on the state of the kernel if the result is smooth and usable or not

HMP_scheduler_tweaks is only for Facula SunKernels

the swap tuning script is recommended if you enable swap (zram)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] shehabskull:
Thanks for your detailed replay ! Looks like I will stay on this rom for a long time [emoji4]

BTW Smart storage is to fix the crash not the blank settings icons I wrote it in the wrong section [emoji14] about settings I will try to manually fix .. I know it's so trivial but I want to get the full experience of this amazing rom [emoji173]️

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] SpeederT12:
So, I've now been using this rom for 2-3 weeks and it has been pretty solid. Battery life is ok (great compared to the horrid life of crDroid), performance is on point, customisation is awesome. However, there are some gripes. For example, there is NO option to turn the pocket-touch-blocker off while actually using the device, resulting in a fiddly power button hold every time when you are in a darker place. Second, there are some bugs, listed in no particular order:

Bluetooth is really finicky, disconnects at random times, though this might be caused by The Doze app or Naptime (considering the better function of it in crDroid I will take a wild guess that the rom is at fault here).

NO call audio transferred to my Bose QC35s, including no actual option in the Caller to switch audio output.

LIMITED functionality for my Gear S2 smartwatch (music and audio level control not available), which also worked fine in crDroid with the same battery saving apps combo.

EXTREME IN-CALL ECHO, which might be a hardware fault.

SERVICE MENU NOT AVAILABLE, making diagnostics difficult.

IN-CALL VOLUME CANNOT BE ADJUSTED, which might be caused by the QUASAR ATMOSx audio mod I have installed

OVERALL: A solid ROM, very stable, everyday use-worthy with a few rather annoying, but not experience-breaking bugs. Audio is on the quiet side, with an enjoyable amount of bass, though installing an audio mod is pretty much obligatory for users used to loud, meaty sound. UX is amazing, a pleasure to use, the addition of a *boot complete* animation is really neat and is a subtle, but powerful touch. RECOMMENDED!

Using it on Xperia z5 dual. Its is buttery smooth. Less battery consuming as compared to stock. And performance rocks. Waiting for official build updates and security patch levels.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] saiz136:
It's pretty stable. I will say the most stable latest custom ROM for Z5. I'm not sure about the thermal mod. I don't use it, but so far I think you don't need it.

haha - that's the spirit !

nothing's free ;)

[MENTION=8692360]Quantumkk123[/MENTION]

your mileage may vary with battery life, so far non stock-based ROMs always had worse battery life (at least with my usage pattern) in "default" settings,

if you enable wakelock blockers, use Greenify, etc. battery is more or less decent.

The Z5 compact crowd on the other hand say that battery life is significantly improved over Sony's Stock ROM (out of the box, "default") - but if you disable the picture analyzer (or what its name is) and other known battery drainers on Sony's Stock ROM: Sony Stock is better than any custom ROM (not sure what tweaks the devs use for stock ROM to achieve that, it's the same e.g. for me on the Note 3)

There's also of course the improved speed, performance and security with more up-to-date Android
