here is a little feedback about the latest version - I had no problems recovering my ext4 backup. Just flashed the twrp, did a backup of /data, formatted /data and /cache in f2fs, flashed rom, flashed magisk, flashed latest opengapps nano, briefly restarted to check if the system is running, and then restored my /data backup. no crash from com.android.phone, synchronizing google contacts now works again, at least until now :) thanks for your fantastic work HaoZeke! <3 can't tell anything about battery life/SoT, it's too early. i'm going to give feedback in 2-3 days again :)

Bluetooth sharing issue not fixed.... Cant receive files but can send!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Can anyone else confirm this? It works fine for me.. Sending and receiving..
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
Maybe someone can confirm it too.... I can't receive files buh sending working!!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Mysterio33:
Yeah, I can confirm this. Sending is working fine, but can't receive any Bluetooth Files. I don't even get the request, if I want to receive the file. It simply shows "sending failed" on the other phone .. The Phones I tested with were a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and a Sony Xperia M2

EDIT: Additionaly, the Google Contacts Sync Issue reappeared! :( I figured out, that if you change something in Google Contacts in your web-browser on your PC, than the Phone recognize and sync it. But if you change something on your Phone Contacts the Sync gets broken. Contacts can be downloaded/synchronized, but can't get uploaded to synchronize.. Using latest OpenGapps Nano, flashed it 5min ago again, but problem directly occurs.. :(
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
Fresh installation.... Always do dat!

Contacts doesnt get sync.... New contacts does not save at all!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
My battery issue that I've reported previously was actually resulting for a miscalibration (I don't know why...). With rom HZ4 version, a recalibration has occured and now my battery level indication is fine (and my battery is healthy :))
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
how did yhu calibrate brov?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
I think that you just need to wipe cache. Then, recalibration is progressively done after a few cycles.

How to fix google contact sync has stopped ?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
okay brov.... gonna try too!

thanks:good:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
That's strange... I'll borrow a spare phone and check again..

About contacts... I guess that ought to be reported to the opengapps team... There are no rom related changes to the sync adapters...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
I do appreciate if you can look into tha Bluetooth bug....thanks!!!

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] jonoathome:
Carried out fresh install.. Working fine, though after a day or two contact sync still broken, again of you change an image or sync the likes of linkedin, what'sapp etc, it breaks the sync
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Sounds like a gapps issue... Or if you're using microG... Are you trying to use the Google contacts sync adapter? The recommended method is davDroid for contacts and calendars... It works great for me
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] jonoathome:
Google contacts sync adapter with micro gapps. Gapps works fine with any lineage based rom I've tried on Z5 and other devices.. I'd prefer that method as I use Google as my main contact and calendar source. The sync adapter is installed on this Rom before gapps as is the contact storage which you have to clear to get it working again

---------- Post added at 08:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 AM ----------

Just to add the contact sync issue is known issue with crdroid across many devices, particularly with 3,7 Base ( though I also had the problem with the 3.6 base)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] jonoathome:
One thing I did notice the Sync adapter is version 7.1.1, we are on 7.1.2 with this Rom..
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Azrael6947:
I have no NFC on the latest version. It turns on and off fine but cannot pick up any tags or signals.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
Thanks !

Successfully appied to my devive. It seems more responsive now.

Just one thing to add to your tut: the operations delete all files on intSD (not only /data), so they must be backed up before...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Yup, sorry I was writing that on my phone and didn't notice that wasn't clear
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
And, of course, the data backup must be done on extSD ^^
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
[MENTION=1964056]HaoZeke[/MENTION]

Unfortunately, I had a serious issue with F2FS: CPU4 (the big core which is always online) was always stuck at max frequency... I didn't find the cause. Even after wiping everything (even data), it occured :(

So, I've come back to EXT4, restored my backup, no such issue now.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
That's really odd... I checked with kernel adiutor and l speed and couldn't replicate that issue..
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
Probably a uncompliany between the kernel and opengapps... Why it occurs with F2FS I don't know...

https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/bug-cpu-remains-clocking-at-higher-frequency-even-in-idle-after-youtube-app.412142/
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Mysterio33:
Just checked my Phone with Kernel Adiutor aswell - Using F2FS and Opengapps too, but in my Case the big core is CPU5, and it stucks on max frequency either! Workload varies, but mhz stuck on 1958MHz..

Nevertheless I haven't real battery issues, it's okay. Not perfect, but nice.

That the NFC don't work I can confirm, as well as the Aux Issue (which was fixed in last Version, but reappeared?!) ..

Also my phone is crashing sometimes while gaming. It freezes suddenly, than black screen, red dot LED is blinking several times, then Phone restarts.. Besides all that, still awesome ROM!

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
it's - working as intended™

https://github.com/zachariasmaladro...7219c0d#diff-10e10dc2e2418a6d2d24c1a6696b8f24

the frequencies for the big cluster is being cached (stored) to stay at higher settings,

it's oftentimes not entirely clear why or when that happens,

thus it's best to disable caching :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
Thanks Zach.

Big core always at highest freq is not good at all for battery, I did some tests...

[MENTION=1964056]HaoZeke[/MENTION], can you fix the kernel ?

Dual SIM: preferred SMS SIM not remembered.

When using this ROM with a dual SIM phone, I go to Settings: SIM Cards: SIM 2 Settings

I set the preferred SIM for Voice, Data, and SMS.

The preferred SIM for Vice and Data is remembered when set.

However, the preferred SIM for SMS reverts to SIM 1 each time the phone is restarted, even when I set it to SIM 2.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Yup, that's not a crdroid specific problem.. It's present on lineageOS as well
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Azrael6947:
I have something of note in relation to Substratum. I have a bug present with a theme in relation to inconsistent and missing quick settings icons when themed. I had a discussion with the theme developer and he did confirm that the missing icons are generally to do with the ROM not having the latest Substratum patches. He said the bug is not present in AOSP for him, I did link him to this ROM so he could investigate.

Was just wondering if your ROM is up to date with the latest Substratum resources and patches.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Yup, the lineageOS device trees have decided to remove that due to battery drainage issues.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] HaoZeke:
Yup... It's up to date.. There haven't been any new update to substratum for a while now..

Have you checked the crdroid Google plus group for any similarly reported problems?

Icons were introduced ages ago and I doubt there would be any issue with them... Typically I use the lineageOS variety of the themes (like swift dark has separate versions for lineageOS and aosp)

Basically icon themes are about attaching to the right string, the name of which differs from rom to rom.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
The thing is that this issue also seems to appear with the little cores cluster :p

Great SoC , right ?

Just read about that regression (well, perhaps it's a coding bug in the kernel, hardware problem or whatever),

anyway - I'll stay on the lookout to see what fix the other devs will come up with for the little + big cores,

since last several times I applied the nocache change to the little clusters there was high battery drainage, instability, non-booting or some other complication

perhaps it needs a creative solution to that issue ...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
I've never noticed this issue but with HZ4+FS2S

Does it happen in other circumstances ?

Obviously, I've noticed it because I had an abnormal drain...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
yeah, had it happen a few times,

no way to reproduce though - it seems to happen (really) randomly
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
:silly:

Well, I used the HZ4 version without that issue.

Then, I've converted the data and cache partitions to F2FS and restored my data. The issue appeared.

Then, I've wiped data but the issue was still there.

Finally, I've reformatted the partitions to EXT4 and restored my full backup. The issue disappeared.

Not to say that it has smthg to do with F2FS but it maybe has smthg to do with read/write operations...

:confused:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Charho:
Thank you !

Oh ! That's a pity. I think it is useful , because very convenient. I thought it is a bug at first.

Hello, bum here. So I unlocked, imaged, and rooted my phone with this rom and it's amazing, I love it! I did not backup my TA partition with the DRM keys though so my camera is pretty bad in medium-low light shots. After some reading on this website there are a lot of DRM fixes that restore most functionality for the camera but they all list stock and have a custom kernel. I don't mind backing up everything on my phone and taking a shot with various kernels but before I do sink time into this, is anyone aware of a fix for the DRM keys for the setup listed here? My phone followed all the instructions here so it's pretty stock as far as this thread's ROM/kernel go.

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] nreuge:
DRM keys are useless as long as you don't use Sony stock camera app. AFAIK, Z5 Sony camera app has not be ported to AOSP or lineageOS based roms...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
yep, needs the framework to be ported and other stuff,

the camera quality in the custom ROMs IS close to Sony stock (without the postprocessing of course) since we're using the stock binaries (drivers) + the stock kernel (drivers) - so there's no point in looking for DRM keys
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] BunBurgerBun:
Thank you both for taking the time to respond! That's good news. I'll look into more about utilizing the camera settings and maybe even if there are post processing alternatives; but that's only if I'm really stuck without any quality improvement the settings.

Im been tempted to try out tha rom... Just dat OTG is compulsory and also i have some customizations on stock dat i used.

2. Music to Walkman overlay

3. Modded Xperia Home by [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION]

And many more....
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Zaisesl:
I dont know what overlay are you using but for Xperia Keyboard im using Xperia Material Keyboard.

I dont use Walkman but there is one which is working on non stock rom

For me is a better than stock. More customizable i really love that. Battery is the same, sometimes better sometimes worst depens the type of use.

The only bug is when i record a video i dont have soun when i reproduce it. In V3.6
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:

Playing with the settings and learning to have a steadier hand helped a lot. My night shots aren't quite the quality I see from other posters but I'm not sure how legit those posts are. They look a little bit too nice to be from a camera phone.

On an unrelated note, does this rom support the MHL functions? When I connect one while my phone is running it crashes the phone. The screen will turn on completely black and turn off in a loop. If I force a reboot it gets stuck at the Sony boot screen as well. This happens with two cables, links below(hope I'm allowed to post links!). Any ideas?

No, OpenGAPPS(micro), but the overdrainage is not due to apps or wakelocks, it's due to radio mobile (wifi or cell I don't know...). I think it was better with first versions of the rom, have you changed the modem drivers ?

If I'm using the Facebook Video Chat or any other Video Chat, the person on the other end does not hear anything.

Also the Bluetooth seems like to have problems with Audio then listening to Music. After the Screen goes of, the connection is not stable any more. Music Listening over Bluetooth is really annoying if the audio cuts out every few seconds.
