For those needing to flash gapps, try this... It works perfect for me. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634796660

Rom is snappy and comes with the signature smoothness we've all come to expect from our own dev, [MENTION=2233641]AdrianDC[/MENTION].

A big kudos to him for extending the lifespan of our device, once again.

PS: I'd recommend flashing the ROM and the gapps together initially, booting it up, performing a TWRP backup (in case you get stuck in a boot loop) before flashing other zips.

Every 12 hours, I head over to this thread, in hope of getting the camcorder fixed notification, I get disappointed and sad. Then I think about Adrian, he just works for the fun out of it, he gets paid with nothing but just in appreciation. And then I say to myself, he owes us nothing and still does a lot for us. May he get all and everything he wants in his life. And keep up the good work. Thanks Sir for Everything :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] LaRazón:
Total beginner here looking for some ensurance, please bear with me! I have decided to (try to) install this ROM, but I'm not entirely sure about the order in which to proceed. Done thusfar: read dozens of threads and articles, downgraded firmware to 4.1 stock, rooted and backed-up DRM keys (thanks DooMLoRD), unlocked the bootloader.

But now what? According to the instructions on page 1, flash the boot.img kernel from the ROM zip with Fastboot or Flashtool. Is this okay, even tough I have not yet installed TWRP and I'm on stock firmware? Currently, I'm thinking that doing it will transfer me to the AOSP recovery, is this correct? There I will then be able to flash the ROM zip, the Gapps, the Low-RAM Property Patcher (and the permanent, full twrp-3.x.x-x-fota-huashan.zip?). Still right?

...or, is it a better option to flash the twrp-3.x.x-x-boot-huashan.img file with Fastboot or Flashtool, which will transfer me to TWRP recovery, where I will be able to flash the ROM zip (including the boot.img kernel), the Gapps, the Low-RAM Property Patcher (and the permanent, full twrp-3.x.x-x-fota-huashan.zip?). Correct?

Thanks, hope this is even remotely intelligible. Appreciate all and any help, and if this is the wrong place to ask, please tell me and I'll move/remove this. :)

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] LaRazón:
Thank you for those two hours, that is a comprehensible and clear list. :) As I try to be as meticulous as possible, a couple of follow-up questions (sorry!):

Step 1 - does it have to be a firmware ending with .205 precisely? I'm on 12.0.A.1.257 currently.

Step 6a - by AOSP image, you mean the full zip-file (not the boot.img kernel)?

Step 6c - Also, I'm already rooted, so can I exclude Bootbridge with Magisk at this point? And include android_lowram_enabler.zip?

Thank you again, I will definitely try this soon.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tossox:
1. You must have latest firmware 12.1.A.1.205

2. Yes, full ROM zip (about 300+ mb)

3. Magisk installs itself in the kernel, so if you flash a ROM from scratch, you usually flash the kernel that is in the ROM zip at once. Then you need to install BootBridge with Magisk again.

Hey Adrian !! Thank you so much for keeping my XSP alive and fine till date :)

signature spoofing for odexed rom build 20180122 january_r6

hey there,

firstly i'd like to thank you [MENTION=2233641]AdrianDC[/MENTION] for all your hard work, really impressive. xsp just got some extra juice with oreo.

now, can someone please point me the directions about signature spoofing to run microg without need to deodex whole rom?

thx in advance, regards.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tossox:
For any ROM use Tingle for flash framework to use signature spoofing and it will work.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] LaRazón:
Thanks a million AdrianDC for the ROM and Tossox for the instructions! Works like a charm now, so happy! :D

Others, sorry for the spam...

Hi! In the last build (2018.01.22) the Clock app crashed, then the Alarm Clock didn't work for me. I wiped the Dalvik and Cache partitions. What's the problem?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] scruffy1:
ain't nothing that doesn't work better with a clean reinstall i always find ;)

if at first you don't succeed.... :good:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] akimester:
clean install ,fully wiped. (build 01.22.)

alarm clock crashed.

confirmed.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tossox:
Do it like me. Remove from "priv-app" and from "app" folders in /system all stock apps like calendar,alarms... And, if you have any edition of opengapps you should have google framework. So just install Alarm, Clock, Phone and everything you want from Google Play. I would say that even google versions are more refined with more features. and I've changed bootscreen and sounds like these from Google Pixel and i have Pixel experience :D
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] scruffy1:
so it crashed again ?

time to re-install again, and this time leave it longer to stabilise before you go on an app testing rampage

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] scruffy1:
i have noticed that the standby time was originally like a week ! no, i don't use the phone much at all, but standby is gold

then with the low ram patcher it now has 35 hours pretty standard

does the low ram patch "waste" energy shuffling things to preserve ram, i wonder ?

as a low intensity phone user, do i miss anything without low ram patch, as multitasking is not big on my agenda ?

thanks for any comments and suggestions
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] c0def4ce:
OK so first things first, Thanks and well done!

ROM is stable enough for typical everyday usage and thanks to your efforts our legacy devices once again have a resurrection from the depths :good:

Problem is with after flashing the ROM I am faced with the loss of all recognition of USB devices.

Charges fine when phone is connected, WILL not be detected, correct drivers ETC. installed on Windows running PC but also the problem had been discovered firstly using Linux.

It seems that the Kernel within this ROM is bugged, and therefor making this ROM entirely unstable.

If this device is to boot-loop now there will be no recovery method, whatsoever.

So I mainly write this post simply to inform users of the potential danger they may face when flashing ANY kernel without making prior checks.

I strongly advise that if you do NOT understand how-to compile and flash your own custom kernel then I would wait-out installing this ROM as it may cause your device to become unstable.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] scruffy1:
you problem is not one i have got, so maybe the flash went bad somehow, but i doubt it

connecting usb on mine (win7.1 ultimate) and it offers me all the options on "tap for more options" - charge / transfer files / transfer photos (PTP) / use device as MIDI; above this ist tells me usb debugging connected as the default

are you certain windows hasn't elected to install it's own choice of usb driver rather than you forcing the required "android compatible adb interface" from google.inc ?

i suspect that's a possible reason for your problem

my second thought is you may have an incompatible usb cable - it will charge, but lacks the (working) pins for data - need to try another cable before presuming it's the rom

as stated, this rom has so many satisfied users, so why are you unlucky ? it's a hardware problem i believe
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] X7SHaDe:
First of all, SP will ALWAYS have ways to recover. Fastboot will always be there, saving you from all sorts of errors, and won't go away, unless you did something really bad to SP, like messing with the various boot partitions.

And what is it that you say about the phone not being detected? Are you sure that the phone is in MTP mode? And are you sure that your OS is updated to properly read MTP devices? Before [MENTION=2233641]AdrianDC[/MENTION] releases a ROM, it will first undergo extensive testing by him and a group of testers to ensure ROM quality and that it is ready for everyday use.

And btw. Bootloops are easy to solve
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Leon Lambra:
Is the WiFi bugged on this ROM?

My Xperia SP is connected to my 5ghz WiFi network with 150mbits according to my router (i am just standing like 2 meters away) but I can't get more than 30-40mbits even though my ISP gives me 120mbits of speed. Shouldn't I get more than 30-40? I mean I am connected to 5ghz with 150mbits, standing just 2 meters away.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] c0def4ce:
Yeah actually none of that holds any weight though.

Simply restored the backup of Stock ROM and firmware and aborted the installation prior to discovering the USB connection problem within Windows, Linux and now Mac OS also.

That being said,

I highly doubt that three machines were unable to detect my Xperia SP running AdrianDC's AOSP 8.1 port.

Bootloops are easy to solve?

OK and we l know that you need fastboot and ADB functionality for that.

Now if you had any decency about you you would edit that comment with that tremendously condescending tone and replace it with some more suitable.

If the kernel doesn't initially allow for the process of the connection, then the problem is like I originally said, unsolved and the ROM should be tested more thoroughly before before being publicly released.

:good:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] scruffy1:
have you found a better usb cable yet ?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] X7SHaDe:
Things work for us. Win 7, 8, 10, Mac OS, and most linux distros. Stock ROM defaults to MTP mode, AOSP defaults to USB Charging mode. And you never mentioned anything about it. So please kindly try switching to MTP mode first before saying that the kernel is unstable which only happened specifically to you and not on all of the testers and users of the the ROM. Thank you.

---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------

You probably reached the limits of the hardware of SP. With testing (local wifi transfers to bypass ISP speed limits), I can only have 30-40 mbits too. EMMC is the bottleneck here.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] scruffy1:
thanks for your unique experience

as they say "one swallow does not a summer make...."

no ifs or buts, or you might note, apostrophes

your failure seems to be without precedent... i've read the whole thread

i guarantee that people would be complaining if this had happened to them, it's a human response to look outward for causes of failure

something has gone wrong for you, but we're all doing fine... the odds are in favour of your mistake, not ours

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] dic1911:
Nope, I'm really sorry to say this, but I have to, the only thing unstable and buggy is your existence, you should really check yourself before you say anything irresponsibly, the only one who had those problem is you, either you got a faulty device, or you got a faulty brain, again, I feel sorry for you, really :(

You missed the need to update TWRP! :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] vinaysulanki85:
For the previous build of 8.1 had already updated the latest twrp available. But still I am unable to flash the latest 8.1 from yesterday.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] scruffy1:
onoz ! i forgot my unlock pattern :crying:

maybe it's a senior moment ? maybe the rom is unstable.... no, wait.... it was me i'm pretty sure :confused:

after more iterations of what i thought it was, and increasingly frustrated at the lockout time each miss, i hardened up for a complete reinstall to bypass the impossible task

no ***** online backups for me (unfortunately)... i'll work on that

anyhow...

my process was -

reload twrp using fastboot (having neglected to flash any o.s. at all, and having no fun forcing a boot to twrp.... oops, i think i killed it in my enthusiasm) :(

initially flashed the 20180122 rom, and google apps were not going to work - forever looking at google

back pedalled and read my initial process for 8.1

flashed 20180104 and then after it stabilised, rebooted to add open_gapps-arm-8.1-micro-20180101-UNOFFICIAL.zip from here - took a while for them to settle in, but patience is a virtue

success !

then dirty flashed 20180122 and all was good in my phone

then of course i noticed the 20180219 rom had been released into the wild, and... you know how it is, so i dirty flashed that too

know what ? it works quite happily :victory: , although i couldn't resist pushing the red video icon, and discovered that still doesn't work yet (unless you want to crash the system.... guess that would be why it's red)

nothing a reboot couldn't fix :D

my opinion... this rom is very much ready to rock, but it might take a little bit of repetition on the flashing before you get what you need

there's probably other paths to the same result, but i am reporting success using the method above

one thing i have learned from flashing android / taranis / keil / arduino ... perseverance is the magic ingredient; lots of success, no bricks (yet...) :highfive:

thanks yet again adrian, you have created a very capable rom; i've left the low-ram patch off to see if the battery is more durable without it - my experience was ~5 days standby without, and only a day and a half with, so it will be interesting to test that on the current rom - and i'll report back when i've had it going a while

cheers !

Hi,

Just to give my feedback for the latest Rom (1902) which I just installed on my XperiaSP.

Just perfect. Just did a fresh install yesterday, latest TWRP, OpenGapps Micro Unofficial from scruffy1 page 55 and Low ram patcher.

Some few hiccups at the beginning with the pattern lock screen ( doing the pattern wasn't unlocking ) and with the clock ( alarm not waking up the phone proposing to snooze or dismiss ) but nothing that a few reboot couldn't solve.

Again perfect stock Android experience, fast and stable, I do not care for the camera, many thanks Adrian for extending the life of my phone, great work.

And by the way, if you've not heard about it and if you're interested, you should check out PostmarketOS project page which is a lightweight linux distro based on AlpineOS working on extending lifespan of mobile. Currently in early stage, I would love for this project to bloom so I could kick out Google out of my life like I did with MS.

Cheers.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] scruffy1:
battery life without the low ram patcher

preliminary review suggests that i'm onto something

the battery use from the phone after initial "heavy" drain installing a few things then stabilised to background standby

as shown below, the original predicted 35 hours would seem to be based on the maximal discharge rate, whereas the current draw (no pun intended, but i like it) suggests there's many days yet at this rate :good:

so, adrian (if you're there and willing), is this a consequence of ram preservation requiring processor activity ?

from my guesstimates, it uses around 4 or more times background draw to do the job

how does it benefit ? again, i presume multi-tasking, but i would be pleased to have you explain it some more

for low frequency activity, the default rom without patcher would appear to be the best option to have standby maximised :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] vantam_132:
Dear [MENTION=2233641]AdrianDC[/MENTION],

Thanks for your rom and your support. I need you help :

Is there any way to increase the internal volume? My phone looks quite small when making a phone call

Thanks
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] scruffy1:
update to the above

now 2 days into light use with no recharge, and the level is at 43% with a prediction of 1 day 21 hours left

phone idle has used 17 % per the breakdown shown, suggesting less than 9% per day drain as the overhead for standby :fingers-crossed:

over a week between charges - unless i actually use it as a phone, i gues :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] carlosfelipeaguiar:
I got some really basic doubts, so I'd first like to apologize for getting your attention for these questions... But I'd like to know:

1 - how to install Magisk correctly, 'cause I always have problems...

2 - how to install TWRP after I've flashed the rom.. (I can't use 'boot.img' to ADB flash it, because it overwrites the rom; so what name should I use?)

Thanks so much for your attention, guys!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] scruffy1:
magisk - no idea

as for the other, i'd be inclined to say rtfm, except i had the same slow path to enlightenment, but it's all on the first page of the thread :

Flashing and updating

AOSP clean install :

- (Optional) Flash the boot.img kernel from the ROM zip with Fastboot or Flashtool - this isn't optional if you want to make a recovery option

- (Optional) Wipe the data & cache (Backup to make sure not to lose data)

- Flash the AOSP ROM zip from the Recovery - this is when you get oreo; the first flash just gets you the requisite twrp to allow chages thereafter - if you flash the aosp rom using fastboot, good-bye twrp

- (Optional) Flash the GApps to have the Google Applications

- (Optional) Every additional zip you want to flash

- Reboot

took me a while to read the right info, but again :

1. Unlock Bootloader via Sony

2. fastboot flash boot twrp-3.1.1-0-huashan.img

3. reboot SP into twrp

4. wipe and install oreo and opengapps - using twrp and the sdcard

5. reboot

have fun; it's worth the effort
