Hmm ill look into it, there wasn't a build yesterday because the RR sources weren't in a build able state.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] firefox-58:
As I stated before:

Castor would be perfectly recognized and also flashed if You use TWRP from rcstars thread. No need to change the update script

Hello

Have you a date for the new release who fix the mac adresse problem on castor windy ?

Best Regards
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] MrMagic:
Loving this ROM, it's really given my Tablet Z2 a new life :)

I noticed that haptic feedback when touching the navbar buttons or typing on the keyboard does not work at the moment. Any chance this can be fixed in a future update?

Edit

Another thing I noticed is that the Netflix app from the Play Store is showing as incompatible. I had to download an older apk from the Netflix website to get it to work.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] fribriz:
This is because Google Device Certification is flagged as "Uncertified" - if you know how to change this, please let me know.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] PVL_93_RU:
That's a blatant lie dude, the ROM works perfectly fine in landscape mode. I'd suggest reflashing or figuring the issue on your end
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] _Sherrif:
Correct. I remember reading somewhere the only fix is to locate a app from another source, APK Mirror or similar, then install the apk. From what i remember you will need to update through the same way, alternate site, to keep Netflix or other apps that look for UNCERTIFIED.

Hope this helps...

Quoted the wrong person..

Meant for [MENTION=426402]MrMagic[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] kueppert:
For me landscape mode works fine, too. No problems with that...
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] MrMagic:
Yeah... the weird part is, that doesn't work for Netflix. Downloading the official Play Store apk from apkmirror still gives an error when starting the app. You really need to download the Android 4.4 compatible version from here: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/57688
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] solved:
any solution about the crashing AudioFX app ?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] fribriz:
It's been mentioned many times, uninstall it with the system app uninstaller in settings.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] bjorkster:
thanks+request

First off, thanks a bunch for the ROM, working smoothly on my SGP511, only issue ive had is the broken video recording, installing OpenCamera fixed this issue, also deleted the Camera2 app as it would not revert back to photo mode after failed switch to video recording.

Would it be possible that the castor windy build in the future will be built without the Telephony functions? I get the "annoying" no service message up in the left corner on lockscreen, so i decided to remove the BlockedNumberProvider, Telecom, MmsService APKs and the related com.android.* folders in /data/data/ (and some others tele*related APKs, i forget which ones) and the message is gone, i do remember something about no_telephony.mk when building AOSP for my device, i guess that would be the place to look (who am i lecturing here?!? hehe)

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] :
Sorry for the total lack of updates recently, got busy with uni, new build will likely be today
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] :
Build should be up soon for castor and windy, enjoy

Edit while laying in bed: just realized I didn't actually upload the castor build:), will upload tommorow night.

[MENTION=7796065]opendata[/MENTION], could you add support for fake signatures? Would love to test it on this ROM!

New Castor_Windy 032518 build is up.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] vladislav1611:
I found two bugs in update rom:

1) Magisk isn't working (ROM not loading, tablet stays in kernel boot logo)

2) SD Card situation getting worse (exFat isn't working now, f2fs and ext4 have a problems with read/write permissions)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] s8m:
Magisk working here (castor_windy). Dirty flash over previous build.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] vladislav1611:
Same. So, I was install the Magisk 16 stable. What version of Magisk are you used?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] :
Castor build is uploaded, can someone post a logcat when plugging in sdcard?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] s8m:
Same - Magisk 16.0
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Mrxyzl:
Anyone having trouble with brightness not working on castor windy?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Ferris_B:
Yes it seems.

And the rotation stay in landscape. At first its ok but after a switch in landscape its lock and the off/on option doesnt change the result

(sorry for the terrible link, cant upload file or post URLs yet;)

Rotation not working.

Brightness works.

AudioFX not working anymore, had no problems with it on the 20180211 build.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] :
Okay... Where do I start,

Today after I got the cpufreq(ency) driver working on mainline I decided to do some more android work with it,

So I build and flash it and reboot,

At first everything is normal and fine,

But then I saw a notification about my sdcard being unformatted,

I thought this was kinda strange as I had no sdcard in but I clicked it anyway and selected format,

1 minute later my tablet just reboots,

I try to turn it on again and nothing,

Not even fastboot or flashmode,

Currently it seems like I'll have to replace the motherboard (which is fine with me) but there is a chance I won't if I get sonys thing working,

So yeah,

Probably won't be builds for at least this weekend,

Will update once fixed
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] _Sherrif:
WOW!!!!

Sorry to hear that. I seen the same sdcard notification and was not in a position the copy the data and re-format so i nandroid back to the backup i had. If and when you get up and running i can re-flash the newest CW build and provide any logs, if they are of any help. I know right now you have other issues to deal with, just saying for future reference.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] :
Then notifications are different, this was because mainline uses a different device for sdcard and I was using an fstab from stock that though the internal storage was an sdcard, something like this would never happen on a normal rom
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Mrxyzl:
Sorry to hear about your tablet:(

I just want to report that look like the latest RR build for castor windy have problem. Auto birghtness and rotation sensor doesnt work. When I check with AIDA 64, non of the sensor on device seem to be recognize
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] kueppert:
Rotation Sensor works fine for me (SGP512). Only the front cam is not working correctly. It is flickering. Because of the Mac address problem I gave to wait. I will report letter if this problem is solved with this new release.

PS: open data, this is hard :(
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] zzhbkb:
Rotation Sensor problem

Same problem with rotation sensor so tablet is unusable. :crying:

Waiting for next release.

Good job for the ROM team RR ! :good:
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] fribriz:
Flashed to 25/3 build, no problems.

SDCARD ok

Rotation ok

Magisk 16.2
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] dimitrij2k:
Please send logcats and not only the Problem ;)

[MENTION=7796065]opendata[/MENTION]: How annoying with your Tablet... hopefully you can fix it... we learn from all our mistakes ;) if its not possible to fix it yourself and you need money for a repair, write down how much it will be * donations ;) *
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] :
Yeah, I've managed to get the motherboard out my old broken castor but waiting on some anti static stuff before opening the one with broken emmc/no bootloader, if I can't fix it myself alin has offered to send me one so it's fine :)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] osculatory:
Using this ROM with MicroG (and no Gapps)

Is it possible to use this ROM without Gapps (and using MicroG instead)?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Mrxyzl:
I tried with Fakegapps (xposed) and Playstore force closed
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] :
Update three, I have successfully swapped the motherboard but damaged my digitiser cable while removing the display, I will still be able to use my otg Mouse though. Will look into sensor issue tommorow
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] kueppert:
Small feedback from my side: Mac address issue seems to be fixed with last build. Thank you :)

Now only issue left for me is the front cam (flickering).

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] set110:
Did the clean flash. Tested for couple of days and the auto rotation does not work. But it works if you toggle rotation via app, in this case worked on New Pipe app.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] :
Ok, I couldn't figure out the cause of the sensor issue, I will look into it more after Easter.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Godecki:
None of the TWPR imgs worked for me. When trying to boot the device, it just vibrates and even the Sony logo doesn't appear. Eventually, I went for CWM and it worked, but it reboots itself every 10 seconds or so. I then flashed stock 4.4.4 ROM and the device works fine. I again tried flashing the boot.img from Oreo's zip and then TWRP but same situation again. I am talking about SGP512. Could anyone please help me?

EDIT: I tried again but with different method, now it worked and the RR OS booted properly :) Thanks for this wonderful job!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] :
Quick update, I have ordered an otg adapter and that should arrive soon is a cant reproduce the issue without a way to input, can someone with rotation issue send a dmesg just after booting and from twrp

Edit: as logcat aswell would be really useful
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Godecki:
Well, I encountered a quite annoying problem! I can't exit full screen mode by swiping from any of the edges. The only thing that saves me and brings the navbar back is the gesture trigger. Is anyone experiencing the same?

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 AM ----------

Moreover, my SPG512 randomly reboots itself into recovery. Not like it just shuts down suddenly, it just normally powers itself down and then boots into TWRP. What could be the cause of this?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Proboarder2712:
Hey guys I've been getting random reboots. I took a couple logcats but I'm away from my computer so I can't take more until I get home. My first two led me to believe it was a radio issue so I flashed the carrier apk. Ive clean flashed boot trwp and rom. I installed carrier apk. The third logcat doesn't mention any radio issues but still rebooted after installing the carrier apk. Also reboots pre and post magisk flash.Now I'm starting to believe it's a battery issue. The Rom I came from,PACROM, (possibly unrelated) would have the touch screen freeze and would require a reboot. Any ideas other than clean flashing would be greatly appreciated. Already did 3-4 times after wiping everything except OTG.

I wasn't able to include the full log as it's 5 mb but if needed I can try to edit it so it's shorter but has more info than just the snapshots I took.

Using a Castor device. I had to use Carbon's recovery and it seems to reboot when I'm not using the tablet. Like if I let it sit. Sometimes it takes a minute to reboot, sometimes takes longer. Seems to reboot less often when plugged in. Could this be a problem when it goes to sleep?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Proboarder2712:
Rebooted to recovery and grabbed both of these. I hope this helps. I also don't have those sensors installed
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] _Sherrif:
[MENTION=3790773]Proboarder2712[/MENTION],

1. Be sure you flashed the boot.img, for RRoS 8.1, in fastboot before flashing the ROM.

2. Quick question, when the tablet is powered off then you boot it up or full reboot does the initial splash screen show SONY in the center with XPERIA centered at the bottom? The screen prior to your bootanimation. If not, i was helping another user who was having problems very similar to yours and they had an older FW/FTF installed. If you are not seeing the XPERIA at the bottom on the splash then you

may

need to flash the most up-to date FTF in flashtool. If you have a castor_windy you can find the FTF in the following folder of mine https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BwBZlgiV0lNiV2x5SFYwMGlmNUU use the "23.0.1.A.4.30". This is the latest i have found for our device. Again, this FTF i am offering is for CASTOR_WINDY only.

Hope this helps!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] set110:
Sending you my dmesg. I hope it will be helpful.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Godecki:
I have another problem guys. Nova Launcher seems to think that the device's default orientation is portrait, thus the dock while in landscape remains at the right edge of the screen. I've never had this problem before flashing Remix. I am obviously aware of the orientation sensor problem. But the think is, there MUST BE a default setting for the device orientation, regardless of the sensor's presence, am I right? Thus I think that the Z2 Tablet's (SGP512) default orientation is set to portrait with RR OS. I also contacted Nova developer due to this problem, but taking into account that before installing Remix OS it worked I assume it's a problem with the new OS. Please correct me if my assumptions are wrong :) And thanks for any help! Btw, the OS itself and experience is smooth as hell :)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] :
Can you send a dmesg and logcat from in rom
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] sentavn:
I also have the same issue. After several day investigated, I am realized that Magisk is the reason. Uninstall Magisk and flash with Superuser and random reboots gone.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Proboarder2712:
1 Previously C/W

2. I'm thinking this might be the issue as I don't think I ever flashed the 23.5 version and it doesn't look like this ROM is a complete build in that respect. Carbons ROM is saying I need to flash that first so it looks like all the instructions to that ROM apply to this. I have a Castor (lte) tablet but I grabbed the right build of the file packaged with TWRP from another thread. I'll have to try when I get home in a couple weeks. That being said, no I only have the Sony logo. Not the Xperia one. Thanks for the tips.

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

Happening both pre and post magisk. Has no effect. Sherrif suggested a update of base firmware. I was thinking that myself but it wasn't suggested at the beginning of this threadnso I didn't want to brick. I probably missed it inside this thread though.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] set110:
I came across to this in other rom's thread:

"Sensor fix

Hey i found the Problem about sensors

Please try to move this file (vendor/etc/sensor_def_qcomdev.conf) to system/etc and test Sensors again after a reboot."

I have tried to copy that using file browser with root access. It could not copy for me is there any other way to do it ?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Proboarder2712:
I don't have a computer I can access. I pulled this log from a logcat program and the kmsg from the /proc folder. Unless someone can tell me where I can pull a better log from(please be nice :)), I'm not sure if these will help. Sorry for my noobish TSing.

I can grab a logcat extreme dump or a liveboot dump if it'll help.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Proboarder2712:
Can confirm this worked. I have sensors multitool app installed. Had 3 sensors and now all are recognised by the app. Auto rotate working again. Make sure your file manager has R/w access and not just R/O. For root explorer it's at the top of the screen.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] set110:
Thanks, checked the settings and now it's all good. Working as it should be.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] set110:
Does anyone have the same thing with apps? More than one icon of the apps I have.

UPDATE:

I think I just realized that the top bar is the Recently Used apps lol
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] _Sherrif:
No, i have not had that problem myself. What happens if you uninstall then re-install the app? Try it if you haven't. Did you do a clean install/update or dirty?

.

Also, looks you're sdcard has issues, or maybe you just haven't cleared it yet. I had sdcard problems when flashing the newest build. I changed my sdcard from exfat to vfat (fat32). And the problem was fixed. Note, to change you need to copy all data on sdcard to another location format then add the data back. Long process, but has helped with my castor_windy and my phone as well, to change the filesystem. Not necessary just something i changed that seemed to help me with sdcard issues on ROM updates/changes.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] set110:
I did a clean flash, might actually do clean flash again. See if it helps. Also tried to reinstall the app, same thing happens.

Don't mind the sdcard error, will sort it out later. As the device is not mine, leaving the the sdcard for the last bit, but thanks for the tips, they might be useful later on.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Proboarder2712:
Pretty sure this is a Google now launcher issue. At the top they list either recent or most used apps(not sure). Install a different launcher and see if it persists. The issue you have from my version is a grey bar to indicate alphebetical listing vs my most recent apps. Are you pending a launcher update?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] and234:
It turned out to be the solution with the sensor stuff for me, too. Thanks a ton. Was a bit awkward to use the browser in landscape only. I know there is a thanks button but I just wanted to confirm that it works
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] d3xt3r_ser:
Hi, i installed the rom today and i keep gettin' "the app audiofx interupted". What con i do? Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Proboarder2712:
Uninstall the apk. :)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Godecki:
Guys, how do I root my Z2 tablet with this OS? I can grant adb root access via developer settings, but how do I obtain root for apps? I tried rooting by SuperSU but it didn't work, the latest Magisk zip didn't work either. Please help!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] d3xt3r_ser:
You Need to unlock the bootloader via fastboot and install twrp, there are many treads on site. :good:
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Proboarder2712:
This ROM is already rooted. Install magisk, download latest zip from the apk or the thread, flash the zip via twrp. Don't forget to clean the cache.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] _Sherrif:
Rom is NOT ROOTED. If it was, a root method would be included in the flashable zip and it is not, that i can find. The ROM is root-able though.... Your root method may be surviving an update seeming like the ROM is rooted.

If you want Root, either flash SuperSU (latest) my suggestion or Magisk (latest) after flashing the ROM and gapps. If using SuperSU open the app after booting and you may need to update binary's. If you do need to update them, use the NORMAL method not TWRP.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Godecki:
It worked, thanks :) So simple, I guess i just wanted to do this the hard way. Well, I've been using SuperSU for years and this is my first contact with Magisk. Anyway, thanks again!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Proboarder2712:
My bad. The process is still the same like I mentioned above. Magisk wouldn't let me update via their apk and I had to install it via recovery. Why would this be wrong? I mean it worked flawlessly or is that a lucky flash.

Also OP included this in features section..

-Magisk root inbuilt

I guess I should have said 'pre-rooted'
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] _Sherrif:
Never said you were wrong, just said it wasn't pre-rooted. I use SuperSU and have to flash each time i either wipe or upgrade or other and have never had to uninstall magisk with this Rom or others in about a year. ROM devs stopped pre-rooting with a root method a while back, as i am sure you are aware. Some like SuperSU, like me, and others like Magisk. Just a preference.

I mis-understood your reply as it was already rooted and to just install the Magisk app. No biggie.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Proboarder2712:
Thanks bud. I was just curious if you had better information about why to or not to flash in recovery. I just jumped on this rom last month. Before then I was on PAC-ROM so I didnt know most stopped pre-rooting. As for SU vs Magisk I haven't looked into the difference since I haven't used SU in a couple years. Usually I just go with what ever is promoted by the OP for that ROM. Gonna go do more research :)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] _Sherrif:
No worries bro. Flashing was the right call as suggested by you. I sometimes use CAPS to help standout what i am getting at, and just realized how it may have looked from anothers point of view. I will now just underline so as not seem as SCREAMING or yelling.

Getting OT, but i use SuperSU as Magisk seems to loose root from time to time and that is irritating. I run a few scripts and apps in the middle of the night that require root for sure. Honestly i just went to Magisk on my cell earlier in the week and my Tasker auto nightly backup did not run because magisk lost root. Hopefully when magisks get more stable i will change over, but for now SUPERSU is the way to go for me.

I do have a cool TASKER program which runs every night at whatever time you specify which will make a nandroid for you. So you are always upto date. PM if you want to try it. Great program...

Now...back to creating new icons for my ANDROID.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] :
New build which I think will fix the rotation issue should be today
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] :
Sorry, basically the RR source forge was having issues and a package I upgraded on my computer no longer works with older kernels so I couldn't build a new rom, however as I am now on holiday I will tell how to fix it manually, copy system/vendor/etc/sensor_def_qcomdev.conf to system/etc/sensor_def_qcomdev.conf
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] alex_37_Spain:

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Ulfsark:
I'm having a hard time flashing this rom on Tablet Z2, having had no problem with multiple roms on galaxy s2 / note 1 / LG G2 / Nexus 6 over the years.

I unlocked bootloader, pushed boot.img and twrp via fastboot. But when I try to flash rom and gapps, TWRP will not finish the install.

I get no errors, it appears that TWRP just "hangs".

Anyone got tips for a Sony flash-noob?

Many thanks in advance :victory:
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Proboarder2712:
How long is it hanging for? Are you sure you have the right TWRP, boot image and ROM for your tablet? Castor or windy? I ask because the castor TWRP isn't on this thread. Have you done a full wipe? And have you verified your downloads? Most hangs for me have been a wrong file or bad download or just long flash times.
