I've two questions before trying this rom: how is the battery life compared to stock and is fingerprint works properly? thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jeaust:
Battery is good. Fingerprint not so much. I am having issues detecting fingers, so using pattern again.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] TadMSTR:
I had an issue with the fingerprint some time ago. Think it occurred after flashing Omni 8.1 the first time coming from 7.1.2. Anytime I tried to register a finger it would get to the last part of the circle and then fail to register. I decided to do a full fresh install by starting with the latest stock UK firmware. Then did a fresh install of Omni, with the required oem image flash (needed when starting from stock). When I originally flashed 8.1 I'm not sure if I started with US stock or UK stock. I'm thinking you need to flash UK stock in order for the fingerprint sensor to work correctly in Omni 8.1 since US stock doesn't support it. Might want to give that a try.

Anyone got issues with autofocus?

Flashed latest ROM clean and neither builtin camera app nor OpenCamera is able to focus after zooming in.

regards
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
do you have dirt on the sensor array next to the camera? or is it blocked by a case? that might be the issue. camera can autofocus fine here.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] z0mg.jer1Cho:
Nope, its clean. Tried without a case, but it makes no difference.

I will try to flash a Stock ROM and see if the Problem is still present.

Anyway, thanks for the work and the time!!!!

//Update

Camera works fine with Stock but got ****ty focus on omni and asop. Guess i have to stay on stock :(
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Jumbohard:
there is always a cross under wifi and cellular even after i turn the capitve portal check off. is this a common issue?
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] z0mg.jer1Cho:
Got this a couple times, 2 to 3 reboots and everything was normal again. Happened like once in 2 weeks.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Jumbohard:
For me this is the usual case. The capitve indicator is always a cross. I tried to switch the portal server and turn off the capitve check but neither of those approaches above works.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] z0mg.jer1Cho:
How did u install the ROM?

Clean Base System -> ODM -> ROM or

"Used" Base with apps etc -> ODM -> TWRP -> Wipe -> ROM or

Dirty Flash over previous OMNI-Version?
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Jumbohard:
both clean&dirty flash.

NOW you have fastboot on your Device!

BUT you need two devices and a OTG Cable!!!

Maybe you can flash the ODM image with your tablet or other Smartphone to your Sony Xperia X comapct.

You can not flash your own devices with fastboot, you need two devices!

Where can I get the local_manifest.xml file needed for listing the repositories necessary for building the OmniROM for Sony Xperia X Compact on my own?

I found the "Compiling For Your Device" on the OmniROM website but it doesn't have the link for X Compact (and beside that seems to be quite outdated as there are instructions mostly for Android 4.4).
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
the manifest gets generated dynamically from the files omni.dependencies
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] enjoimadcow:
hi please help because I am having problems with this as well

I unlocked bootloader

ensured i was on latest ftf

flashed twrp

made a backup of stock rom in twrp

I then flashed the ODM

then i wiped everything but microsd card

then i flashed omnirom and gapps

and then i restarted.

I got the encryption key was correct but corrupt error message.

So i followed your order with format data (i formatted everything again but microsd)

then i flashed omnirom and gapps

then i went to fastboot and flashed the odm again and rebooted

and im greeted with the same decryption message.

Now for some reason my stock backup refuses to load

Im like freaking out over this.

please advise

edit:

found the solution

boot back into fastboot and run

fastboot format userdata

booted into omnirom after doing that
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
so you're sure you're choosing "format data" in twrp?

also, what is this message you're getting? can you post a screenshot?

EDIT: just saw your edit, which means you weren't choosing format data in twrp, you were swiping to do a factory reset
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] enjoimadcow:
That's the thing. I ticked every box to be formatted in twrp. Like 5 times. It was still giving that "the encryption key you put was correct but everything is corrupt" message after formatting everything. I thought maybe it had to do with the micro SD so I even formatted that.

I even made it a point to tick data by itself and did that like 3 times.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Kalimohan:
Thank you for this Custom ROM. Does the encryption of the phone work smoothly? I just ask, because it was not encrypted by default. Yet I installed and configured a bunch of apps and want to encrypt everything as usual.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
encryption should work fine

There is a new Kernel 4.9 for Loire devices.

But its BETA, can we install it or not?

https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/downloads/software-binaries

here are the chances:

https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common/+/android-4.9
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
no it's not yet ready. some major functions are still broken (camera and audio jack for example)
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Kalimohan:
Are there any problems with Roaming or is this Custom ROM only working in certain countries?

I installed OmniROM (+ Pico GAPPS + Magisk) on Sunday on my friends Xperia X Compact and everything went smoothly. Yesterday my friend traveled to Norway and has no Mobile Network whatsoever since. WiFi is the only thing that is working. No phone and no mobile Internet access. First we checked all settings within Mobile Network. No avail. Next she did a reset of all network settings. No avail. We called the provider and they confirmed everything is fine with the contract and the roaming networks (from their side). Then she asked a friend to check her SIM with her cellphone. Et voilà, right after starting the cellphone she had mobile phone network and mobile data with her SIM. She was in Norway a few weeks ago with the same cellphone, but Sony Stock Image and had no problems at all.

Well, the options are rather confusing for me. On my phone I have 3 options inside "Preferred network type" (LTE, 3G, 2G). She has almost 20 different options, like "CDMA+LTE/EUDO" and so on. She has also an option "CDMA Abonnement" to choose between "RUIM/SIM" and "NV". I have no idea what all these even mean. "Automatically select network" does not select any network. When switched to "Manually select network" then it will neither find cellphone networks as well.

Now she is in desperation and me too.

Do you have any idea what happened and what a solution could be?
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
would you happen to have logs available? you can use matlog to dump system logs. the app is included in omni.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Kalimohan:
It was not possible to read something out of matlog. I'm not there either and she has no WiFi available since yesterday.

Flashing a different ROM is also out of the question, because I was not able to find a fastboot driver for Win 10. With Linux no problem, but not a chance with Win 10.

Does anyone have an idea what to configure manually to make a phone connection?

I mean what is the difference between Germany and Norway? :confused:
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
maybe she could try a norwegian sim, check if that'll work. If it does, then we know it's an issue with roaming only, not general network connectivity.

[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Kalimohan:
Today she inserted a Norwegian SIM. Unfortunately it also shows "No Service". So, it's not Roaming.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Kalimohan:
I wonder nobody else has this issue with phone service and mobile data service?

I installed everything according to instructions and then added Gapps Pico and Magisk Root. Everything worked for 2 days and then she went to Norway and the phone was cut off the network with "No Service".

There is an OmniROM update displayed since yesterday. Are there any improvements with this update? Can she easily install it OTA? If it needs to be done manually via TWRP or if Gapps and Magisk need to be flashed again, then we'd better wait.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :

Wonderful ROM for this great little device.

Just gave me headache with auto-rotate screen.

It won't work, also with setting ticked under Display or Omnigears. Still in portrait mode for system and all apps.

Btw I don't see any sensors running with app like Satstat or CPU Info, all is blank.

Is this ROM related or a setting to activate somewhere, no one knows?

OK, downgrade done to the only one i can found : SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_8.1.6.3_r1_v15_loire_beta.

Sensors are now working again but no more camera with this oem file... Make your choice %-)

[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] solarkraft:
I was finally fed up with the bloat of stock Nougat and attempted to installed the latest/last Weekly. It's great!

I am always amazed anew how good Sony's cameras can be when not crippled by their ****ty software.

Notes:

- It said the storage was corrupt, even though TWRP had no problems. I had to do a wipe until it booted fine.

- Fingerprint sensor works, but sensitivity is so low it's unusable with my thin case

- The fingerprint sensor can unlock the phone without you pressing the button (battery drain source?)

- I couldn't set the brightness until I disabled adaptive brightness

- The camera button works with apps, but has no shortcut

I'm very grateful for this image and wish the team lots of success for Pie! If I happen to have some more spare time in the future, I might attempt to add a camera shortcut or find out how to tweak the fingerprint sensor settings.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rancor187:
same here. It says my SanDisk card is corrupted.

I just finished flashing my very first rom on my xperia x compact. Can't say much more at this point.

I'll have to play around a bit.

I do have a general question though. Even though I backed up the TA partition (DRM Keys). I know they are gone now. But doesn't that affect someting now? What about the camera quallity etc?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rancor187:
Any of youhaving issues in TWRP when?

e. G. while wiping and I got: "unable to mount 'data' ....

Also this effects greating a backup. Same message. I checked under restore and saw only 'System' was backed up.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] evilorb:
Lastest official TWRP and no problem, all backup are saved with compression on internal storage.

I have also issues with 32gb Samsung sdcard, no more recognized after 1 month of use, all files created was 0 bytes.

Don't know why, format with the phone or PC was useless.

So using only internal storage.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mp107:
[MENTION=6423459]evilorb[/MENTION]

I have the same behaviour (0B size of the newly created files).

They are properly readable and writable but their size is shown as 0B.

I am not sure if this is related but I also use XInternalSD Xposed module which might have such a side effect (and an old version of the ES File Explorer as file manager).
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] evilorb:
Xposed user too since the ROM installation, only few privacy modules but none for storage.

This is weird because the card was working fine for almost one month before this issue.

Total Commander is my file manager.

password? corrupted?

Hi,

After flashing the SW sony binaries with fastboot, installing the zip with TWRP, and rebooting to System, I get the Omnirom logo, and then it asks for the password. What password?

I had a swipe pattern set with the stock rom, but no password. There does not appear to be a way to enter a swipe pattern.

When I enter 0000, 1111 or the sim's pin, any way it says Decryption unsuccessful. The password you entered is correct (how could all 3 be??) but unfortunately your data is corrupt. So to resume using the phone, I need to perform a factory reset. It then reboots into TWRP.

There, I perform a wipe of data, Cache, Dalvik and Internal.

Rebooting, I am back in the same loop. It asks for my password, tells me it is correct but...

What does this mean, and what should I do?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Simplyeh:
Remove the pattern lock from stock before formating and instaling omnirom i believe this helped me a while a go with same issue
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ralfbergs:
I think you need to enter the equivalent numbers for your swipe pattern:

123

456

789

*0#

Imagine this as an overlay to your image, then type the corresponding numbers...
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] john97:
Thank you for your response.

Digging back through the thread I found that one needs to not just wipe but to format data using TWRP and then flash oem again in fastboot.

That did the job. I wonder why the installation instructions at the top were not updated/corrected with this information.

---------- Post added at 09:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------

Thank you for your response.

I had already taken the step of format data in TWRP and reflash oem in fastboot before I could try this out - it makes sense though!

[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] farfetch:
I made a clean install, but I'm not able to see the "call UI":

I select contact, start a call, but I still see the contact list, with no notification, I just can ear audio; for close I have to turn on the airplane mode.

Same with incoming calls: phone rings but I have nothing visual to notify that, so I can't answer.

I decided to try build OpenGApps from master for 8.1 as there are NO* official releases for 8.1, yet. Funnily enough, after flashing it my mobile data started working. Not sure why, though.

Also, just to note that, unlike in OmniROM 7.1, encryption works in 8.1 as smooth as possible.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] lba810701:
Hi!

I use this ROM for about two days. My experience so far: From the latest FTF ( 34.3.A.0.252 - Customized CE1 ), prepared as described, then rooted with SUPERSU 2.82. ( After all, I put Beta XPOSED up, but I got a lot of trouble, so I wiped it out. Unfortunately i used uninstall zip what made to bootloop at boot ... i started everything from scratch and i got it the same way, but I avoid xposed, but i do not mind it. )

There were two "freezing" in two days. One when i was in a phone during a conversation, another when typing an sms plus during listening music.

In addition, the Internet connection for my cell phone after my second freeze disappeared. After when I joined my workplace, wifi, after a little later, when I "unplugged" my phone from wifi, my cellphone's mobil net came back again.

What's disturbing is that I think the phone's tone of voice is very quiet, and there's a loud voice, and in there I hear myself about three times in my own ear.

I couldn't live a fingerprint reader. I couldn't save my fingerprint.

I think the camera was good, it did not matter, but it seems to me that the photos are a little dark.

Unfortunately, I don't know about the life of the battery, so far it has been shown that it is an average, new system, after a lot of pressure, it is natural that it was exhausted for the evenings. I was working today, from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm o'clock, I had 29% drop off from the battery. There was a nearly one hour on mobile internet music listening, about 1 hour of telephone conversation. So, I think it is average using time, ~4% / 1 hour. ( and I'm using just 67 apps now, whitout xposed ).

I think this will be a very good ROM, at least as much as 7.1.2. If not, then it will only be better :). We waiting the newest weekly. Thank you! ;)
