Hi all:

I am still in 7.1.2, because after reading all messages in this forum, I continue indecisively to install 8.1 with the knows bugs.

In my current ROM, I don't have any problem, obviously, the battery only lasts one day ... but it is the original and after almost

five years, I can consider very lucky.

Cork, I have seen that you have tested deeply the 8.1 ROM by Daedroza (good and hard job). Do you advise me to cross the

line to new ROM or to wait for the elimination of pending bugs?

In any case, I have a question, is it possible to install only the security pacth from Android (I guess 2018 patch) in my ROM 7.1.2?

In that case, where can I find them?

Thanks in advance for your reply?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Flounderist:
Hi, I assume you are asking to me :laugh:

Coming from official nougat ROMs, the Oreo ones are very stable. The only bug is the camcorder not working, but I never used it.

Battery life equates 7.1.2 builds. I edited some governor tweaks to get a smoother device, if needed I can share.

From my point of view, you could step up to Oreo build with no regrets.

:good:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] S.N.A.P:
could you please share some settings to make the device smoother ???

I used Oreo LOS build back in the early days and felt quite laggy,so I switched back to Nougat

very appreciated if you can share some tips ^^

Share your edits

Thanks for your post, please share your edits,
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Flounderist:
Here we go.

Please bear in mind that yuga is my backup device. The battery life is not a concern.

Using kernel adiutor or any kernel settings editor, set the governor as interactive.

Then apply the following governor settings:

above_hispeed_delay 20000

boost 0

boostpulse_duration 0

go_hispeed_load 90

hispeed_freq 1350000

io_is_busy 0

max_freq_hysteresis 40000

min_sample_time 40000

target_loads 79 594000:82 1026000:85 1350000:90

timer_rate 20000

timer_slack 20000

Then disable any touch boost.

I also use a deadline scheduler.

YMMV, as usual. :highfive:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] ISPG:
Hi Flounderist ... sorry for the mistake with Cork :)

Thanks for your reply and explanation. I don´t use the Camcorder often, so, for me it is a minor bug.

In that case, I´ll prepare my device for a clean flash. I´ll read again all messages in the forum, because

I think that is necessary TWRP3.2.1 for this action.

The part of Kernel ... uffff ... is a little high for my level ... I consider myself a rookie in these matters.

Regards,
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Flounderist:
No probs, my town has a weird name.

Twrp 3.2.1 is required. I would suggest a factory reset or a clean flash at least. It happens that device is heating a lot on very first boot, so wait a couple of minutes between backup/flash/reboot/setup time to avoid crashes and random reboots.

If you are planning to flash magisk proceed in this way: flash ROM+gapps, reboot and setup. Reboot to twrp and flash magisk. Reboot and check device. Reboot in twrp and flash modules, if needed.

For the kernel governor editing, it's very simple tbh. Once you have the ROM rooted download kernel adiutor and go in CPU section.

Hi [MENTION=5906831]Daedroza[/MENTION], there was a 20180404 build on your Google drive some hours ago now there is only the 20180311 build. Was there something wrong with the new build?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Daedroza:
Yes, should not boot. Even if it does, there is a fix which I didn't cherry-pick in this build.

Hence to avoid issues, I deleted them before it reached to too many users.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Vengith:
OK, thanks for the info. I didn't flash it.

Can you please post checksums if you upload a new build, I had trouble with corrupt downloads before.

Thanks.

APKs unable to be opened with Package Installer

Hi,

I just installed this ROM with Gapps Nano 8.1 ARM.

Now I wanted to install MiXplorer via APK. But it says "cannot open file". When I do "open with" the package installer isn't even listed.

I checked the system apps and the Package installer is there.

I tried cleaning cache and force closing the Package Installer and rebooting however it's still not functioning.

The Google Play Store installs apps just fine. But I can't install apps via APKs.

Did anybody else have this problem?

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] sravants:
Open apk file from 3rd party file manager's may help you.. I too had this problem before, "MK Explorer" helps me

Video Recorder Problem Fixed?

Dear Developer,

The Video Recorder Problem was fixed in 6/4 development?

Thanks
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Flounderist:
It booted fine on my device. Dirt flash.

Setup crash on clean flash could be due to CPU overheating.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] NamenIos:
No, this would probably be mentioned and the information in first post would be updated too. For those who are interested, there are changes up for review on gerrit.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Bosancheros:
Setup crashed because some older date gapps. With latest gapps clean flash passed with no problems.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Flounderist:
Some posts ago I posted some kernel settings that could be helpful. [MENTION=5906831]Daedroza[/MENTION] do you think that reducing ZRAM could bring some benefit to the device?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Freepony:
Have a problem with Youtube app. Videos are lagging on 720p 60 fps and 1080p, frame rate is extremely low. Sometimes I see strange video artifacts when video turns green. The same thing was on Resurrection Remix 6.0.0 but on Lineage OS 14.1 it worked fine. The internet connection is good, I have no problems with other apps. There is also no CPU or GPU overheat.

I tried to mess with kernel settings but it's no use. So, is it Youtube app or some kind of system issues?

Upd: I installed some older versions of Youtube app and the problem still exists. Those versions worked fine on LOS 14.1.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] NamenIos:
I think the consensus is that the ZRAM settings are good as they are and that there is little to no improvement left. I think /sys/block/zram0/mem_used_total shows you the amount of ram used by zram, for me it's 128mb right now. So only if the 128mb would make a difference in throwing a process into ZRAM would cost performance. But for all other processes in the 400MB of ZRAM ZRAM speeds up the performance, otherwise they would need to load again. Usually that's a very good tradeoff.

You can try to use swapoff in root console and the output of "free" should show you if disabling ZRAM was successful. I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on disabled/enabled ZRAM, tbh.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Flounderist:
I found a magisk module to kill ZRAM and I was wondering if it could be worth to improve the UI response and lags. At the present time my device has 400mb ZRAM, as per LOS kernel. I use a very little multitasking and idle RAM is almost 300mb right now.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] sravants:
It's fixed in rr 6.0.0 , in the latest update.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Daedroza:
Shouldn't occur in newer builds.

Anyway, Video Recording issue fixed. Check newest build.

Hi Flounderist / Daedroza:

Finally, I installed the ROM, and everything perfect. Any problem with the flashing with TWRP 3.2.1.

Very fast reboot, not significant heating and any relevant bug after some days of using.

Battery similar to previous ROM 7.1.2. Thanks for suggestion of Magisk, is the firts time that I have rooted with this

app and it has been very easy. For the moment, I don´t notice lags in the normal use of the device.

Thanks Daedroza for your job, after 5 years, this Xperia looks at first day.

Now ... waiting for Android P ... :) I have read about some developers test for this summer.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Dr Nye:
Guys ... One question plz ...

How to update the ROM ... CAUSE I HAVE AN OLDER RR .. SHOULD I WIPE EVRY THING AND INSTALL IT OR WHAT ?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] bettelgeuse27:
Hello I've some suggestions for the ROM. First,I want to congratulate for the fix to video recorder...now it is the best rom for my Z.

Can you create Gcam (5.x) for arm? Or can you add the hdr to the stock camera?

Add the possibility to change music info(artist, title,...)

Can you add one-hand mode?

If you can, try adding a more complete photos & videos editor

With regards

Luca
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Flounderist:
I would suggest a full wipe (cache, dalvik, data).

Update your twrp to the latest 3.2.1 build to avoid any problem and make a backup before you go. :svetius:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] ダニエラ:
And, the bug with hidden wifi is fixed yet?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Freepony:
That problem with Youtube app still exists.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Medo22:
what are the bugs now?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] HMH16:
Have you fix this yet?

I have the same issue with RR but with any video on any video player even youtube but when I play a YouTube video on 60fps it works fine.

If you fix it please help!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Daedroza:
Hi, please try the new build. I don't have any issue with YouTube (144p / 360p / 720p all works fine).

Changes until now:

> New Reader Mode added (testing)

> SE Policies updates from Chippa_a

> New Frame Buffer Notifier implementation

> Updated Lineage sources

I believe it is more than stable, other than the permissive status (finding a workaround for kickstart), I feel it is more than complete.

Please do a clean flash if possible & please provide constructive feedback (i.e logs for starters).

Thanks.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] unrealRage:
Thanks for the update Daedroza! Looking forward to trying it out!

I am really interested in reader mode. Is it similar to the feature which we can find on OnePlus 6?

Only problem with LineageOS 15.1 I had so far is being unable to remove shortcut icons, which I must admit is nitpicking.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] BeniS98:
Hi Daedroza, do you know when the final version will be available for download on lineage.org and as OTA update for existing LOS 14.1 installations? I'm waiting for official release until i flash it on my Xperia Z.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] kingwangeve@gmail.com:
Hi Daedroza

Thanks for your hard work.

The auto brightness seems not works

and the screen on the top seems a little weird on the latest version，it also happened on the latest RR ROM.

https://screenshot.net/tw/5e85qfx
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Daedroza:
Reduced brightness commit was lost while changing branches.

Next build should have it.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] kingwangeve@gmail.com:
Thank you

Besides, when turn off the screen, it actually not turning off but has a little bit lights sometimes.

I'll upload the picture when it happens again.

Thank you.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] AbdoNTS:
I think it isn't software problem I think it is your screen is damaged change the screen and the body and you will see that it is fixed is your proximity sensor working if not then I'm fairly sure that what I stayed will help

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

Dose this ROM support Google assistant ?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] kingwangeve@gmail.com:
But when I installed back to the 4/22 version, the screen problem disappeared.

It also happened when I installed the latest RR ROM last week.

So I think maybe that's not hardware problem.

Thanks for your reply. ???
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Daedroza:
I'll make a new build.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Flounderist:
If you flash this ROM on top of the 20180601 build , you could get broken brightness. Enable and disable auto brightness from settings to fix it.

i think you should change the issues lest cas when i first opend the thread i thought that it is true untill i installed RR and saw that thay say that it got most of it's properties from here then i cam back to check it
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] AbdoNTS:
there is 3 problems i noted

1-when i try to call via the messenger it froze

2-google voice typing is not working properly

3- calling with my hand free mic doesn't even if i removed it i have to end the call and call again to make the phone work again but the hands free mic doesn't work in calls but works fine otherwise

[MENTION=5906831]Daedroza[/MENTION] why do all roms after marshmallow have a lagging when you play any video even YouTube?!

I've tried this rom and lineage 14 and RR O and RR N and it's all the same!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Freepony:
About Youtube videos...

After clean update to the latest ROM version the situation became slightly better but 60 fps Youtube videos still randomly lagging, kinda 50/50 (before reinstall it was EVERY video). I have installed NewPipe, it plays videos at 720p 60 fps smoothly but 1080p 60 fps videos are constantly lagging. So I think, the problem is partly related to the Youtube app. Maybe it's not optimized or something. But on the other hand the problem didn't exist when I was on LOS 14. AFAIK RR has the same problem. Maybe just the phone hardware can't handle new ROMs anymore.

This build is necessary, since last build, it was enforcing, but calling didn't work correctly because of denials. Old build will cause battery drain.

[MENTION=5906831]Daedroza[/MENTION] there is lagging when I play any video on any video player even YouTube it's like low framing or something

What should I do please?!

does overclocking may solve this problem?!

Note: when I play YouTube videos on 60fps it works fine and no lagging at all
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Daedroza:
I've no issues with YouTube what so ever.

If playing works on browser fine, then it's internal fault of decoder than YouTube uses.

Our 2013 generation CPU(s) play 720p HEVC (h.265 encoded on Blu-Ray) perfectly fine (though that is not supported).

Anything higher, for example 1080p HEVC (h.265 encoded on Blu-Ray) lags out.

So normal videos that generally not encoded in such a way should work fine & most videos are not encoded in such format anyway.

Still, share me the video link & I'll watch on YouTube myself & look if there's a issue.

I have this problem on any video even 360p

I've tried many video players but still the same.

Tried YouTube on chrome and UC browser and YouTube app. but still no luck except when play the video on YouTube app. with 720p 60fps then it works fine.

When open the MX pro player it shows me a message that it cannot reach a library or something (lib)

I will reinstall the ROM and send you a screenshot for the message that MX player showed it.

PS: This problem exists in all ROMs after MM that I've installed (lineage 14.1 and lineage 15.1 and RR nougat and RR Oreo) but on MM everything works fine.

Hello sir, in playing youtube videos, have you tried the open source Newpipe?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] HMH16:
Hello to you.

HMH please NOT sir :)

No I haven't but either way the problem is not in YouTube itself, it's in the video playing in general ( Built-in video player - MX pro - KM player - UC browser built-in player - chrome built-in player) and not in particular resolution I mean even 360p have a little glitch.

Except when I play a 720p video on YouTube in 60fps then it works fine and without any glitch, but the 720p on normal frame rate are glitching.

And it's happening in every ROMs after MM like (lineage 14.1 - lineage 15.1 - Resurrection Remix Nougat - Resurrection Remix Oreo)

Videos work fine here, 720p / 480p / 360p on YouTube.

MX Player should use their own built-in libraries for OpenSSL.

Since Android 6.0, OpenSSL has been removed in favour of BoringSSL.

Nothing I can say at the moment.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] NamenIos:
No everything was fine and compared to the SW decoder there was significantly less cpu usage (less cores active and cores were clocked lower), so HW decoding was working. But I tested this on 14.1. I don't have any codecs installed, maybe that helps? Does VLC work for your videos?

Is there anyone with CM13/LOS13 on their phones left who is happy to generate some logs? Either PM me or post here.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] HMH16:
[MENTION=2928758]namenlos[/MENTION] I've tried VLC but still no luck, there was still stuttering, though I raised the speed of the video up to 115% and it's kind of solve the problem but still a tiny stuttering but it's not annoying and tiring the eyes as it was before.

So each time I play a 23.9fps video I have to raise up its playing speed.

The CM13 and LOS13 and RR MM have no such an issue, I tried them the problem for me is just with nougat and oreo.
