My video playback issues are fixed by using Kernel Adiutor to change to OnDemand. My only concern with the patching stuff is that it's not future proof since you're replacing system files.

Also, quick charging works for me, but I wouldn't be surprised if AOSP is pickier about chargers complying to spec than Stock is.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Moiremoi:
I change both (little and big couple) to OnDemand and flash Rudy's zip
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] caqo71:
Can't get it to boot. I have F8331, flashed boot.img, flashed system.img and the phone doesn't boot, it's stuck on sony logo forever.

is this anything to do with not flashing vendor img?, I can't do that because I don't know hot to do that, istructions says that you have to decompress the file, buto not where to put it and in twrp hot to push it, terminal?

EDIT: Nevermind, I got vendor flashed.

As a side note, I started TWRP by presing volume up when notification light turned purple, it works, but you don't have mtp enabled, so adb doesn't work. You have to enter TWRP by presing power button while pressing volume down.

EDIT2: Ok, I gave up with this, goole services got me carzy tying to get it stable, checking updates and checking information never dessapeared. Just restored my backup and now I get back stock system. I'll wait for next build to try.

Many thanks.

2017-10-11 build fixes the Google Play services stalling when updating or installing. Unfortunately, video playback is completely broken.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Bitti09:
how do you archived to break video completly?
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CLShortFuse:
I think it's either the October security patch or the GPU changes on the kernel.

https://github.com/SonyAosp/vendor_google/commit/7ac766f9a0255b1979d013b4f73e4f3df52d306c fixes the gApps Force Close issue related to READ_LOG permissions.

DownloadManager is still weird, so it sometimes stalls, but no crashes.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CLShortFuse:
Sounds like a degraded battery to be honest. My phone doesn't heat up at all and I get about 4-5 hour of SOT and about 30-40 hrs of standby. I do disable LTE since it's usually not worth the terrible drain. USB charging is VERY picky. Switch adapter work well pretty well, but they don't support QuickCharge. The Google USB-C chargers work best. Generic QC 3.0 chargers are somewhat okay. The ISO stuff is a known issue. For low light shots, you can try removing the included Google Camera and installed the patched one with HDR+. It'll help tremendously with low-light conditions, but it won't do anything to improve Snapchat.

I've restored my backed up TA partition and nothing changed. I'm not sure entirely sure why. The other alternative is patching the kernel to apply the DRM fix. I honestly don't have the time to delve into the code to apply the fixes. I'm just compiling the SonyAOSP repository somewhat daily and sharing it with everyone here on XDA. Rudy and Bitti09 seem more interested in researching fixes and such.

Also, try registering the same finger 2 or 3 times. The Sony FP reader isn't good at telling you to move your finger around, so I just do top thumb, middle thumb, bottom thumb.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] caqo71:
A DRM fixes into kernel would be a nice idea, hope someone else do that.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CLShortFuse:
https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605

You just need to patch boot.rc and add two drmfix files.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FroschDev:
I doubt it's a degraded battery. Snapchat has always pushed my phones to their absolute max and heated them up, seems like snap just doesn't care about optimizing their app for android and would rather only port it from iOS. I'm not an Android Developer and have only limited experience in Linux development so I'd rather not try and fix the problems myself, but I guess looking at it won't hurt(at least until I brick my device). Usually I just stick with Java and JavaScript, C/C++ is only for microcontrollers imo, haven't coded c/c++ on ARM in a while.

Do I have to perform a reinstall of the rom or can I do this from just TWRP? Where can I find the patched Camera for XZ/Oreo?

I will also forward my previous questions/suggestions to Bitti and Rudy, they might be interested, at least I hope..

Oh BTW, can I update my phone by just flashing the newer rom files over my current ones or do I have to fully reflash and reinstall all my apps and stuff?
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] juanpirulo:
I try using that tool to include the drmfix into the boot.img but i think has to be fix to work with aosp kernel. cheers
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CLShortFuse:
That hasn't been an issue for me since the September builds. I just registered my thumb again now.

Are you running an old build? Have you tried wiping your data?
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FroschDev:
Weird.. no I'm running a build from 2017-10-6.. I'll Just waiting for the next build, I hope camera, battery, FP and the equalizer are working correctly by then..

Thank you guys again for putting these builds together btw! Are there any good learning resources for getting into kernel development and things btw? I can code in C/C++, i just dont have any idea of changing and building the roms.. :good:

EDIT: It seems the equalizer DOES actually work. I am using Google Play Music for streaming and usually don't listen to MP3 or M4As off my storage, but as I listened to an M4A I notized that the equlizer works on it as opposed to streamed music.. seems to be a bug? Really weird

[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] caqo71:
Nop, it doesn't, sadly
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LouisWH:
word of warning to anyone wanting to flash this rom, don't flash from stock oreo if you are planning to, when you get to the stage with the vendor files and twrp, twrp asks you for an encryption password and inputting your device password will not work. then you can't adb push the vendor files and the device will be bricked. (i somehow managed to hardbrick mine :crying:)

instead downgrade to nougat with flashtool and then follow the instructions.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] chrispearson:
Press cancel then it will enter twrp go to wipe select format data type yes then reboot recovery and flash vendor files and the rom works perfectly fine its not the rom its the inexperienced person trying to flash it
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuxBunny:
Hello,

I'm looking for a lite android version for my sony xperia arc s lt18i, I tried several ones, but I end up short of memory just by installing messenger, I tried app2sd but I can't move the apps that takes a lot of space (Google, Google play .. etc), if there's any version out there that I didn't find please point me to it, also if any of you knows how to fuse the memory card (ext4 partition) with the internal memory it'd be awesome, I tried several tutorials and most of them have deprecated scripts links sadly.

I wrote as much details as possible, I hope it wasn't too long, thank you for your time.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suibian:
Well my english is not good,so wish i had understood you;)

You can use link2sd or just follow the instructions of cm14.1 and install it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] confused.droid:
long time lurker, first time poster. someone gave me his broken(?) Lenovo K30-w phone to fix (why?).

i'm looking for a way to load a ROM onto his phone, but via a Mac/PC down a USB, because...

basically, for the first month it was all good, but then the phone started installing apps/games/"virus removers"/etc of its own volition, some would run up his data bills, other randomly disable the WiFi/data etc. I unticked the "install from other locations" thing, but every time it re-ticks itself. i managed to get Malwarebytes installed, which informs me there is 60+ bits of malware on it, but before i can get around to removing it or manually deleting the file in system browser, it detects what i'm trying to do and shuts me down.

so basically, the virus(es) prevent me doing anything that involves downloading an app or doing anything on the phone side that involves WiFi, as it kills the window i'm on, and replaces it with a fake scanner, an app/game or pron.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus5xdead:
Hello everyone,

i have the following problem:

After my Nexus 5x got water damaged during my vacation i tried different things to repair the phone. This was not successfull. After that i bought a used Nexus 5x with a broken screen and builded one running phone out of the 2. So the issue of not having a phone was solved ;)

But my problem is that i wanted to recover the pictures and videos from the broken nexus phone. I removed the emmc chip and put this chip in a bga 153 reader. The chip gets recognized by multiple programs and i can see the different partitions. From the information that i have this data is encryptet by default.

Like i have read here hxxps://blog.elcomsoft.com/2017/05/android-encryption-demystified/ there is no solution to decrypt the files with a chip-off.

Can someone give me an answer if there is a possibility to recover the files?

The 4 digit pin is known to me. I dont know if this is useful.

Thanks in advance.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] damanrico:
Hello,

Lately I've been noticing that after some usage my phone starts showing white horizontal lines across the screen. This happens when I touch the screen a lot in a short period of time. So for example when I swipe across the screen as fast as I can for a good 30 seconds. The picture shown doesn't really represent how well you can see it with the naked eye. It's much more noticeable in real life.

What could cause this issue? And is it a software issue or could this lead to a permanent hardware issue that needs to be fixed?

Thanks in advance!

A picture of the issue:
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Jadraker:
I suffer from the same flaw (and many others). It's more noticeable with some colors and also against darker backgrounds. Unfortunately it's a hardware problem that needs to be replaced. I guess that glass is not enough separated from the screen itself.

The lines appear sometimes without any touching of the LCD and they also go away without any touching or pressure on the LCD ( thus we can conclude that it's not the digitizer ).

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] htc_one_mini_m4:
Seems like my educated guess on it being a software issue ( bug ) and not a hardware issue ( bad application/mount of the digitizer ) was right.

Hi!

Whenever I receive a notification, the AOD shows an icon for the relevant app.

I would like to see a detailed notification, like who sent the message and a preview, not just an icon.

I've already went into the AOD settings and made sure "hide content" and "notification icons only" are not ticked, but no change.

I have the G950U1, lock screen enabled and AOD enabled. not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Would really appreciate help.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] eregev:
That is how it is supposed to work. There's no official way to show the whole notification on AOD other than if you enable Edge Lighting where it will display a preview for a couple seconds before disappearing leaving just the icon to double tap.

SOLUTION! for back facing camera

I know it is weird but what you have to do is remove front facing camera and the rear one (also you have to separate battery!!!) and you have to turn on phone without front camera (the rear one you have to plug in). The rear one should have work now. Finally, you have to plug in front camera.

This worked for me, even when "hardware info" show that my phone don't have the rear camera.
