[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] bamsbamx:
I am running Ubuntu 16.10 under VirtualBox in a Windows 64-bit machine and trying to build the Sony's open source copyleft kernel for 34.3.A.0.217, which can be downloaded here: https://developer.sonymobile.com/do...rchives/open-source-archive-for-34-3-a-0-217/

-Untouched copyleft source code

-Untouched ramdisk extracted from stock kernel.elf file with this tool: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605

-Using AOSP mkbootimg (the new one written in Python: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/nougat-release/mkbootimg/mkbootimg) with arguments specified in README_Xperia (https://github.com/bamsbamx/BMSBMX_kernel_kugo/blob/master/README_Xperia)

Even if the build is succesful and the boot.img file is generated properly, the device gets stuck in SONY logo when flashing it

Any ideas about how can I find the problem?

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Pikoon:
Hello everyone!

To start i would like to say that i just discovered the amazing open world of android less than a month ago. I was on iOS(hit) for a too long time and it's was the moment to quit it.

By the way this forum really helps me to understand better the android system and all its features.

But i still need ot understand lot of stuffs. That's why i'm gonna start here.

First of all i was on stock rom and i rooted it, eveything worked fine but i wanted to go further. So I installed ResurrectionRemix rom. Wich is pretty fine but a little bit buggy sometimes (wich is normal it's an unofficial one, i'm not complaining about it, just wanted to give it a try). Let's say i would like to back to the stock rom. I have a backup i made right before flashing Resurrection via twrp. To get back to it i just have to restore through twrp? Or do i need first to go back to stock rom and then restore the backup?

On some topics i can read "you have to download the latest firmware for your phone", do you know where i can find it?

These are the two majors questions i'm wondering. I have a lot more but i'll try to get myself first and if not, i'll go back there.

I hope you could help me guys.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers.

P.S. : My model phone is a FRD-L09
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Pikoon:
Ok. I thought it was a full backup so you could get your phone backp to the state it was when you backed it up. Thanks for the precision.

Damn it, i've explore this forum a lot, how did i miss your guide. That's exactly what i needed! I really feel nooby right now...

Anyway thanks for your answer!

I'll keep on posting on this topic if i have more questions coming!

Have a nice day!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Pikoon:
Hello everybody !

Today i want to do a proper root installation on my device.

For this i m doing a rollback to stock rom and then update it to b389 firmware through the update manager by selecting the "download all package" option.

I was wondering wich tool is the best for rooting? Magisk v14.0 or SuperSU v2.82?

Also i've made a backup with HiSuite of my apps and configs. Is it better to restore it first and then root the device or firstly root the device and then restore the backup?

Thanks in advance for your help guys!

Cheers!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ayush rao:
Since u've rolled back and have done a full update there's a large possibility that ur bootloader is now relocked. So to root u have to unlock the bootloader. So unlock ur bootloader, then restore all ur data and then flash Magisk since it seems to be a lot more stable.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Pikoon:
Indeed my bootloader was properly relocked also.

I did in the order you told me. Everything's fine except that i have a small bug with magisk. Now i can't register new fingerprint since i rooted my device woth magisk.

Do you know if it's a common issue with magisk root?

Thanks for your help anyway!

Cheers!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ayush rao:
I'm sorry I forgot to mention fingerprints should be enrolled before flashing Magisk. There's a bug where in u can't add fingerprints after flashing Magisk.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yousvel:
This is not a place to compare roms, but a place to share your experience with your current daily driver on your Oneplus 5.

What rom are you currently using?

How do you like it?

What is your overall experience with it?

Are you using it with a specific kernel or the built-in one?

Would you recommend it to someone?

Etc...

Let discussion begin!

Note: I think having a thread like this can help keeping development threads clean.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] lekiaM:
Good initiative!

I tried many Roms and Kernels since I've got my OP5 about an week and a half ago.

First thing i was getting rid of the "buggy" official stock rom haha. I played with it for a vew hours and gave in. Than i was preparing everything for unlocking, rooting etc..etc... It was easier than i thought! Didn't expect it!

First ROM i flashed was an unreleased BETA build from a team i being part off. Just to getting used to this device and playing aLOT with an optimized Kernel (also an build by the Team Dev) after a vew days, i was trying other ROMs, i mean no Roms that where close or based on stock OOS. More based on AOSP and LOS.

After a couple of days, i found my right ROM and Kernel combination so i ended up with:

"RR Unofficial" with "Blu_Sparky" Kernel!

I like the debloated version of RR and the battery friendly and easy tunable Blu_Spark Kernel with EX Manager.

I get about 9-10 hours SOT, since I'm not an heavy multitasker or gamer. Besides that, i'm facing no errors, no random reboots, no screen blackouts, or whatsoever! It is for me the Stable Combination!

Currently I'm waiting for an Android 8 Build by the Team Dev. Which is also going to be an AOSP based Rom with "hopefully" aLOT of Optimizations!

Easy does it :cool:

Edit: This was a newbie post. I won't recommend this anymore, since it is outdated and whatsoever...
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yousvel:
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with us. That's helpful! :good:
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickysidhu_:
My first ever Android device was a Nexus 6P, and I ran only Pure Nexus on it. I then moved to the Pixel XL, and also primarily ran Pure Nexus. After basically two years of running an AOSP based ROM, I had only good opinions on AOSP based ROMs.

Because development seemed a little tricky for Pixels, I decided to switch over to the OnePlus 5. I, then, flashed a handful of AOSP based ROMs, hoping I would receive the same stability, smoothness, and just the right amount of features Pure Nexus has.

The results didn't seem to be the same. I am by no means bashing on, hating, or criticizing any AOSP based ROM that is available for this device, but I personally just did not feel the same smoothness as I did on Pure Nexus. I decided to try LOS based ROMs, and the unofficial RR has by far been the best!

It's smooth, stable, and very snappy. There is one thing that "bugs" me though (excuse the pun lol):

The VPN icon doesn't hide, unless you disable and reenable something else in the SystemUI tuner. This workaround only lasts until you restart the phone, or even restart the SystemUI

Another thing worth noting (which isn't a bug), there are some unneeded apps that I have to manually uninstall with TitaniumBackup, such as the Music app, the file explorer, and the default phone and contacts app (among a couple others). Very small inconvenience and it's not enough to keep me away from the ROM lol.

Other than that, it's an amazing ROM, especially because it already comes with a custom kernel, and YouTube AdBlock/Background Playback!

Going back to the AOSP based ROMs, just to further reinforce that I'm not trying to bash these ROMs: OnePlus 5 is still a relatively new device, and development is probably still in its early stages; I'll definitely give those ROMs another try down the road, and see how my experience is then.

Also, I wasn't on those ROMs for too long, so maybe I just didn't allow the OS to "settle". Not sure if this is even a real thing, but I've heard other users mentioning letting a fresh install of an OS "settle" before truly making any critiques/comments.

As for OOS based ROMs, I was on stock for a very short amount of time, and I also tried xXx, both great ROMs (especially xXx). However,when you have as many features/customization options as RR has, it's hard to use anything OOS-based, especially because there is no full Substratum support (which is super important to me).

Hope this helped!
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yousvel:
Well elaborated. And as you know the device is very new, so hopefully custom roms will become more and more stable with time.

Thanks for sharing!
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yousvel:
Share about your daily driver experience here. We want to hear how much you are enjoying your OP5.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MazeHei:
I used Nexus 6p before i bought the OP5 and I think OxygenOS is one of the best roms build by a hardware building company. After some months I started to switch my kernel because I had a little bit drain and started to read in Xda what could help and now I am at my best every day use combination and it is OOS plus blu_spark it works stable and I can underclock it easily because I am a light user: Browsing, WhatsApp and Phone call sometimes Maps that's all what I need and this combo lifts my usage to 2 full days. I am not an SOT guy so the lowest Screen Off Drain is my Must Have.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yousvel:
Thanks for sharing!
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickysidhu_:
Just a quick update on my daily driver:

In my previous post I mentioned being on RR Unofficial, but since then I have switched to Pure Fusion!

As you know from my previous post, I'm a huge PureNexus fan and Pure Fusion is based on that, so I flashed it in a heartbeat.

That with the stock kernel has been amazing, as I feel it provides just the right amount of features :) I'll most likely be sticking to this ROM for as long as I own this device!
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yousvel:
Great to hear that. How do you find Pure Fusion compared to PureNexus you used to use?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickysidhu_:
As far as I can tell, it's pretty much identical. The settings for the ROM have the same UI, very similar set of features; maybe just a little more than PureNexus!

It's also fast, smooth and stable like PureNexus as well :)
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yousvel:
Nice! Are you using N or O? How's signal?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickysidhu_:
I'm on N as there is no O build available just yet. Signal is completely fine, but I believe there were a couple of users having issues with signal strength.

I've encountered no bugs or issues thus far. I did have random reboots but a clean flash seemed to have helped :)

That was the old days when back covers was removable. I bet it is the first time you bought a non-removable battery phone?

Worry not, recovery would not be affected by bootloop since its a ROM problem.

On5 is rooted and has czars rom, no xposed or magisk used.

The log contains only information about the HW decoder playback.

Basically, HW decoder uses the mediaplayer API provided by the Android. MX Player has fewer controls over it. So, MJPEG decoder may not be properly implemented in your custom ROM.

Can you share the logs again after playing it in SW?

It will be better if you can share a sample content as well.
