flash TWRP to recovery partition (via fastboot),

turn off the device, then press VOL DOWN + Power wait for a few seconds [brightness might be much higher with the Sony logo since different kernel from TWRP],

keep VOL DOWN pressed a bit longer until it boots to TWRP

or unlock the advanced options in the boot menu and "reboot to recovery"

In case you guys are looking for a (assumedly) working SoundMod with Sony's Music player (Xperia Z4 is a Sony after all ;) ), give the following a test:

https://xdaforums.com/android/software/mod-quasaratmox-ultimate-sound-mod-t3479705

The sound output is pretty intense with PDesire (still testing in WIP-kernel) :D

Make sure to create a backup BEFORE flashing any sound mod or other mod - in case you don't like the higher battery drain,

so that you don't have to wipe and start from scratch :)

Ty, rom is really good. Some problem only.

Charging speed is low.

And there is not 60fps camera.

Some lag in chrome.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
With Sony Stock charger or QC ?

Not sure what the status is with 60fps but you could try out the HTC camera app, perhaps that supports it

There's is and will ALWAYS be the possibility of lag in every browser, unfortunately,

it really depends on the website content - mostly it should be smooth though.

You can make things really really smooth but especially with the kernel version (3.10) and the SoC at base the battery consumption would be unbearably much higher ...

What i found (this happen in rr an los for z3+) sound in call is fine, but recording audios on whatsapp or in the recordings app is to low , i often need to edit mixer path to increase the recording volume
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
even with the newest build ?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Android Development] ViniciusSilvestre:
Havent tested the newest yet, im downloading now

---------- Post added at 03:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

and since you are here, do you mind if i make a feature request? is it possible to include some sort of port of sony's automatic headphone compensation? thats the only feature that i actually miss from stock rom, and in my testing( with my headphones at least) it greatly improves sound quality
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
AHC (Automatic Headphone Compensation) needs kernel-side changes which we have since we're using Sony's Stock-based kernel

but the ROM-side changes are more of a black box.

Also it's not guaranteed to work at all or even stable - e.g. kernel-side changes ("security updates") can make the device crash when enabling those features,

using modified non-Stock ROMs can be even more of a risk to get working reliably or even stably ...

I haven't read about anyone porting it & fully working to an AOSP or LineageOS-based ROM so far

https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/port-sony-xperia-x-soundenhancement-t3513915 (backports from newer devices to older ones but Sony Stock ROMs)

https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-d...-sony-xperia-x-soundenhancement-port-t3371938 (AOSP, etc. but confirmed to not fully working, might work after some changes, not sure yet)

CC: [MENTION=6126659]PDesire[/MENTION]

do you run on Resurrection Remix (or LineageOS) on Z5 Premium, by chance and could take a look at the 2nd link [ https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-d...-sony-xperia-x-soundenhancement-port-t3371938 ]

to figure out if it's possible to get DSEE-HX and AHC working with the custom non-stock ROM ?

Something like that was mentioned https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69082293&postcount=25 but there's probably lots of factors involved influencing it ...

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Android Development] ViniciusSilvestre:
I see. I've tried the soundenhacement port mentioned, it realy doesnt work properly even when adding lines to the build.prop (probably some files missing).

And speaking about audio, i installed the newest version of rr and the new facula Kernel. The rom is amazing as ever, but the low record volume on whatsapp still remains, and i found something weird.

When playing songs on spotfy through the headphones if the phone returns to the launcher (be it by pressing the home button or using the return key multiple times), the headphone audio cuts out and the headphones need to be unplugged and plugged back to restore functionality

Hello

i flash twrp recovery and stock kernel via fastboot,

i flash your rom from recovery it boots ok and when

i flash "Z4_Z3P_SK_ENF_vN_RR_NovaCore_I.1_n_1_10_C_2_1_3_ivy" kernel it gets stuck in the animation boot.

What am i doing wrong ?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Apologies :o

I forgot to update the OP / first post: :(

The newest kernels are Facula right now and the newest RR version if 5.8.5

[MENTION=4900537]cpgr[/MENTION] please try those and let me know how it goes

Battery runtime should be significantly better with it (I've updated the kernel even more and additional battery runtime improvements might be in store - my device [Z5] achieves 3 hours of SOT with 50% left and moderate usage with WiFi / 3G + ~ 3 hours of listening to music via PowerAMP),

so 3-4.5 hours of SOT should be manageable
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
There seems to be access issues to Google Drive for some of you from Japan or specifically educational background (university access),

I've uploaded the ROM to Downloads section on XDA, checksums:

The newest Facula I.2.41 kernel has several smoothness , security and battery runtime improvements

The OS 5.8.5 with FSC and LXT works really well. No lag or performance issue. I just faced a bug. There is no sound in music playback when the phone is locked. It's not player's issue or earphone's issue. Even with stock kernel the bug is still there. Bluetooth is fine. Only playback via Aux is the problem. Just to make it clear again, the music playback continues even when the phone is locked or on screen time out but the sound stops there is no sound.

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Android Development] Shawn Paul Jovet:
Hello Zach,

How can I make you understand. When I listen to music via Aux, I can't listen to the music for long (untill screen timeout/ when phone gets locked). Music will be running but the sound is muted. It's not the fault of my music player or with volume settings or with earphones/headphones. I've checked this many times. Still no sound coming when the phone is locked, but the music playback continues. This issue occurs only via Aux. Bluetooth playback is fine.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Okay, hm, so I did somehow understand it before but couldn't believe/get what I had read :confused:

Thank you for the clarification !

What apps are you using for listening to music ?

Any wakelock blockers ? Sound mods ? System apps (Kernel Adiutor, EX Kernel Manager, etc) ?

Any other mods ?

Did this happen before ?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Android Development] Shawn Paul Jovet:
Actually I thought of that. I used ViperFX etc... Then I did a factory reset and reflashed the rom a couple of times. Played music after first boot as a fresh device. No wakelock blockers. Still same issue. And I'm using the stock music player. I tried others too... Like, Google play music etc... Still the issue is there. I would like to confirm that this issue or bug is there only on 23Oct2017 version. On 05Oct2017 version the music plays fine.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Ah - thanks for pinpointing this issue to a specific (older) version,

it sometimes happens that there are bugs/regressions in RR, LineageOS, etc. and it gets fixed on newer versions

So you are on 05Oct2017 now ? all is fine ? :)
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Android Development] Shawn Paul Jovet:
Yes I'm on 05Oct2017 version. All is fine! ☺️

Repost from https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74484633&postcount=264 (Z5 forum)

yep, investigating it - I'm suspecting the biquad changes might cause it but it also could be the microphone and output changes at fault, will see how it goes tomorrow - currently too late to call someone ^^

Thanks for reporting & apologies - that shows that the main function for some of us isn't calling anymore with those smart-"phones" :o

Acknowledged, thanks for reporting - yes, it's a very high pitched noise not good for the headset and/or ears, apologies :o

ScriptManager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager&hl=en

make the scripts launch as init scripts at boot or run them manually after start (I'm doing the latter since I'm doing kernel development so can't risk anything interfering, also that's the safest approach)

edit:

the zip-file is NOT flashable, it only contains the modified mixer_paths.xml file for sumire & ivy so needs pushing to system/etc/

NOT confirmed to fix the issue yet ...

edit2:

uploaded the hotfix, sound is still working (it deletes the old file and replaces the new file)

do a system backup before you flash - it should work - just in case

New updated RR build in the Downloads section of this Thread/DevDB

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

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 Z4/Z3+ Android Development] Shawn Paul Jovet:
Zach,

What are these scripts? Is it essential? Do we have to install the scripts for the latest version too? And I also wanted to know whether the Audio via Aux issue is fixed?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Take a look at the names, essentially only the swap script is needed if you're using a swap (off by default - but swap is recommended even by google) - since that tweaks the readahead algorithm for swap handling,

the Heimdall (interactive governor) tweaks script CAN be used and might improve smoothness - but NOT because of interactive changes but (most probably) because it applies the touchboost to all little cores which reduces lag/latency for the CPU to increase frequency to match load.

There is no Audio Aux (headphones ?) issue for me - couldn't reproduce it with Stock Music Player on newest build - music keeps on playing,

are you using Equalizer / Audio Effects ? Can you explain more how long it takes for the sound to cut off, etc. ?

Is it also happening with non-stock (ROM-included) Music players ?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Android Development] Shawn Paul Jovet:
Ok. Thanks for the scripts info. The audio issue was on 23Oct2017 version and NOT on 05Oct2017 version. Just wanted to know whether it is fixed. The issue is that, when we listen to music via Aux no matter which earphones/headphones, no matter which music player, the sound stops when we lock the screen/screen timeout. The music keeps on playing but no sound. So, just wanted know whether it is fixed. I'm currently downloading the newest version. Just wanted to know anyway. ☺️
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Please give it a try and see if it also happens in the "vanilla" state (shortly after installing & logging into Google services),

I tried it at that state and Music playback was fine - NO cutoff of sound output and continuing of music playback without output.

Could be that some scripts, apps, etc. are interferring with it (which shouldn't be) - but nowaday lots of weird things can happen/is possible
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Android Development] Shawn Paul Jovet:
The latest build 14Nov2017 is very stable. So far I didn't find any bugs. The previous build issues are fixed. The ROM is very stable. Very good performance and is very smooth. Battery is really good too, even without LXT. Didn't apply any scripts or use any Kernel. Thank you Zach! ☺️

Is there anyway to change the minimum number of A57 cores from 1 to 0? in the facula kernel, not disable, just change the minimum number.

i've done some testing using the latest version of the remix rom using the kernel that comes with it, what i found was the folowing:

if the a57 cores are active by default, like in facula kernel, doing th same tasks (insagram, google chrome and so on ) the phone warms up much faster than if the minimum number of active cores was 0 and the performance drop (if i can call this a drop at all) is literally nothing, since the cores are not disabled, just offline ready to spring back to life when they are needed.

Battery life also improves, since the phone doesent need full snapdragon 810 performance to do day to day tasks.

back to my question, is there a way to change this in the facula kernel? i've tryed via de core_ctl, but the kernel just ignores it and the a57 keeps on active

Hello,

I use E6533 (dual version) with latest fw 32.4.A.1.54

is it fine to flash this ROM (RR-N-v5.8.5-20171114-ivy-Unofficial_zach.zip) directly using TWRP?

should I need to flash kernel (Z4_Z3P-DSDS_SK_ENF_vN_RR_Facula_I.2.44_ivy_dual.zip) or using Stok Kernel?

any scripts that I should need to be applied ONCE after boot?

Thank you for your work.

The rom with stock kernel works like a charm, stable and excellent battery (i came from stock 5.11 and was sicnerely surprised)

After almost a week i decided to switch to your kernel and give it a try but i'm experiencing a huge battery drain.

Not sure what is causing it though, bbs gives me a 1.5/min wakelock from wificonnectivitymanager, both with wifi on and off, no scan while asleep, no location etc., amplify just gives me a huge count of generic *alarm

The best indicator that there's a problem is watching yt video while plugged into power and battery would still drain 1% every 5min or so, i never seen battery drain whille connected to power.

I'll try a clean wipe and see if it gets fixed, else i'm back on default kernel which worked fine but doesn't have screen color correction

Thanks again, cheers

You can flash this ROM by TWRP without flashing any kernel. You can also flash the facula kernel but personally I would prefer you to keep stock kernel of this ROM and flash FSC mod for better battery life. [NOTE: You have to flash the addon su script after installing the ROM and gapps before the first boot otherwise you will not be getting root access.]

---------- Post added at 07:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 AM ----------

If you are in stock ROM and you have unlocked your bootloader then flash a TWRP recovery via Sony flashtool and backup your system and then wipe system, data(not internal storage) and cache partition by TWRP and then flash this build with gapps followe by su addon script.

---------- Post added at 07:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 AM ----------

Original kernel is more battery friendly but still I use FSC mod with LXT which gives a better battery backup.

Has anyone experienced the same and how did you fix it?

Hi guys it's going to be my first time trying the rom so I really want some help with the flashing process. From my understanding this is how to flash pleas make corrections where needed:

1. Wipe data and cache

2. Flash RR-N-v5.8.5-20171023-ivy-Unofficial

3. Flash latest Gapps

4. Flash Scripts scripts_for_HMP-kernel.zip? (i'm unsure here because I want root but none of the scripts give reference to root)

5. Optional flash FSC and LXT mods

I just want to make sure I have root access after all this is done. Thank you for any advice at all.

Error with QC3.0 and Hearthstone

Hi.

I installed this CFW and I'm impressed. And of course thank you for your work. This is great comb. of apps/features/changes in OS.

I have noticed two issue, and if you know the way to solve this, I'll be grateful.

1. On the first night, after install, i plugged Z4 to charger with QuickCharge 3.0 and go to sleep. Tommorow I take my Z4 and I saw it was Very Hot! Something about 50-55'C. Immediately i put it to freezer to cool this down. After cooled to 20'C I plug him to 5V port and he start charging. He had 0% and after 3 hours he finish. I try turn on, and all was very well. No sign of any damage or permamently issues.

After all of this I try again to use QC 3.0 port. I spot what's going wrong. Z4 give me a signal about charging, but LED didn't flash up and battery icon didn't change their form to percentage inform, so device recognize the plug, but evidently charging don't work. Tell me, Can I make it work back, on my Xperia Z4?

2.After Install RR I tried install hearthstone from Google Play. But I can't becuase GP on HS page says, My device is not compatible to run this app.... Weird, becuase on normal OFW 6.0 or 7.0, I did play on HS very well.

In Settings page -> Phone Information, I spot problem, probably. In field "Device Name" is entered "ivy" name, but on OFW there was Xperia Z3+. Maybe here is the problem? Tell me please, How Can I change name of device to a little cheat Google Play/Hearthstone Device "compatible checker"?

I'll be grateful for all tips.
