[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
yep, any support official (Sony) or "unofficial" (SonyXperiaDev) got abandoned,

so community needs to step in ...

There could be a way to get the phone part, etc. working from what I read (sonyxperiadev)

HOWEVER that would leave out the camera from the equation (something similar is currently happening for the M4 Aqua where burtcubbins is porting the device to 4.4 kernel)
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
So the thing is:

if anyone ported the device to the 4.4 kernel (which includes "legacy" gpu driver support) we would have all functionality,

except camera

and probably a blazing fast phone + much extended AOSP & update support (including Android 8.0 and 8.1 and perhaps beyond)

Anyone has interest to work on it ?

Maybe [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] could help!
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myself5:
How about No?

I was part of the stock based bringup for a reason. That reason was to never ever touch the SODP Kernel along with the Z5 ever again.

So the answer is No.

Absolutely Not.

No.

I'll try to make oreo device tree, if you can make the kernel we can build Oreo.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
even the other devs (seemingly ?) aren't really sure what commits are needed to get the full/enhanced functionality - the basics might be there but perhaps something's missing

in any case the repo is at: https://github.com/sony-msm8994

I'm right now not interested in working on Oreo or any other matter,

I've flashed to Marshmallow again on the Z5 and do some investigation related to battery consumption and others there.

Currently not much time for flash-testing and ROM development.

I remember having seen kernels with commit changes from Nougat to Oreo but not sure which exact kernels those were,

bullhead, angler , oneplus2 - some of those must have been
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkiiro:
We really want you guys to do it. Oreo port would be a beast of ROM <3
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
Not having the updated kernel sources (probably) shouldn't be a problem

since we can (attempt to) port the Oreo ROM from Xperia X and add the missing kernel changes from the Xperia X device (kernel diff)

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-x/development/ub-xgen-rom-1-0-5-xperia-x-t3778738

HOWEVER

after reading the following:

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-x/help/upgrade-via-ota-to-oreo-terrible-t3754928

it's rather pointless to try anything related to porting or updating to a higher Android version:

best battery for now (at least in my experience) use a modded Nougat or Marshmallow ROM with Stock kernel + Stock kernel modules,

that'll get you the best battery runtime when e.g. listening to Music, browsing, etc.

Also: I've done countless passes of different kernel releases and each time as soon as security updates, enhanced performance, etc. is added to the picture at some point (couldn't pinpoint exactly how or why, I suspect it's somehow perhaps looping inside the kernel) it miraculously starts to drain like it had a 4000 mAh battery

- this is ridiculous !

There simply isn't much potential to be gained in this device ( /me peers at the Note 3 and its improvements over time ... /sigh :( )

hi [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] so is there still development for the z5 oreo rom or is there no point? I will try port that rom for xperia z5 just like i did for z3+ because believe it or not it actually works and i wll see how it goes

also are you developers already trying to copy to the z5 cos if so it would be appreciated as i am a noob and just discovered the files are a lot different so now i need to actually learn
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
Not that I'm aware of, just noticed the similarities in hardware between the X and Z5, Z5 series and did a superficial quick comparison

So not sure if others are currently working on it ...

the file and folder structure looks quite different ...

vendor/ueventd.rc

vendor/manifest.xml

vendor/qcril.db -> vendor/radio/qcril_database/qcril.db (?)

msm8994 specific hardware bits / drivers, thermal (very important !, or we're relying on third-party thermal driver solutions to try avoiding any potential issues)

touchscreen (also synaptics clearpad?)

and that's only looking at the vendor folder ;)

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
sxd copy-left

probably too little changes to explain - haven't taken a look at source yet, modified ramdisk certainly might play a role, too

Basically what we need is a modified kernel that matches the changes from Nougat -> Oreo for the Xperia X,

a modified, updated ramdisk

and taking a look that the basic things like

mixer_paths , battery charging (?) [what about Qnovo ? replacing the charging stuff with Z5-specific stuff ?], GPU driver, SELinux (disabled/permissive as a start?), RIL (camera, etc. later ...) work

on Oreo there might be treble or Oreo-specific changes necessary in addition to that

The more folks & the more eyes we have on this working the sooner we might get a working Oreo ROM,

the core issue most probably would be the GPU driver
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trax7:
Ramdisk certainly will need modifications. If there ia a custom kernel for the X that was first on Nougat and then updated to Oreo, all we need to do is to find such a kernel in the forums and grab the exact commit with the changes. Either this or ask some X devs about it.

Mixer_paths I think has some subtle differences (from current AOSP), [MENTION=8041676]GreyLeshy[/MENTION] has Qnovo working on his kernel for quite some time, SELinux to permissive - yes, but that's not a big deal, can stay permissive for all I care lol.

RIL and camera: I have no idea. There are a few other threads that port the Stock Nougat camera app or mod it, some have even combined those two and it works if you use some parts from the port, instead of the mod..

GPU: We need an SD810 device that has Oreo. Any device will do and as the open source CAF GPU driver should work on both ours and the Oreo device with a little work.

I am not sure whether we need to work on Treble first, or Treble last, but it seems it makes future work easier once you make it once since all the stuff you've been working on is kept in ONE place (shims, porting of proprietary stuff, etc.)

That said... We still need basic functionality in order to start working on it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=378145

Costs $15 after a 10 day trial. But damn, I've been playing with it today and it really is one of the nicest today screen plugins I've encountered for any purpose!

For these reasons (echoing and paraphrasing other users in that thread):

- It is great to have a today plugin that can handle as many and as few contacts as you want in a very efficient manner. You can use this for 5 contacts or 50 and it works the same! (No limit to how many, and no empty spaces if you don't fill it)

- Interface is wonderful! Needless to say, the "COOL" factor is quite high while also being very good at it's job! CoverFlow for contacts!

- Settings to change the default options, i.e. press and press+hold!!

- Can call, send text messages, or email all from the plugin easily

- Uses photos very effectively, and updates if you update the pics automatically

- Works great with UltimateLaunch within a tab or sub-tab! Heck it actually works a little better with UL than it does directly on the Today screen IMO.
