Yeah that's because Sony is more complicated and seem to have not uploaded the necessary files need ed like we have camera semi working just trying to optimize it and this was all built from scratch I mean idk just wait and see where time takes us ?
[Xperia Z5 General] unecc:
if i update this rom on my z5...i lose all sony's plus like answering machine?!?
[Xperia Z5 General] balrajs99:
Yes
[Xperia Z5 General] hemre2:
What's the status
[Xperia Z5 General] PureMAD4:
Is this still happening?
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
Yeah but taking lol I bought honor play so I won't be as active on this community anymore
[Xperia Z5 General] spyroz540:
Same. I have pretty much given up. I am in the process of selling my Sony Xperia Z3+.

It's always the goddamn sony devices where development comes to a halt. My old xperia miro had a kitkat rom with tons of bugs then midway in development. The developers sold their devices and still to this day there is no stable kitkat rom for the xperia miro

And a similar situation is happening here too!

I am never buying a Sony Phone ever again!

Just sharing my views.
[Xperia Z5 General] bladesss:
I also have enough to wait for oreo in z5 and I bought oneplus 6t. Z5 goes on sale
[Xperia Z5 General] Oberbergler:
Same for me. This was my last Sony phone. I had Samsung, Nexus, Sony and have experience with Huawei, LG, Xiaomi, Oneplus, iPhone... My best phone ever was the Nexus 4. I also like Oneplus, but Sony is trash.

My Z5 is for sale. I returned to Google with a brand new Pixel 3. It looks like it will be my new favourite phone I've ever owned :)
[Xperia Z5 General] Wyzco:
I believe we should close this post until there is something thing substantial to report.
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
No, because what's the point just more hassle with moderators opening and closing forums
[Xperia Z5 General] s1est4_st:
Build will be released or not? Because we didn't have any news about developing.
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
There are available releases, but aren't for the public due to the fact that not enough is working, camera is broken and some other stuff until those are fixed you won't be seeing a build any time soon
[Xperia Z5 General] MixEcoSystem:
I feel like getting a Sony was a mistake.
[Xperia Z5 General] ouzqan:
then there is no need to keep the issue active. Because there has not been any development for months. The developers don't do their part. The issue gives hope in vain. I think it should be closed.
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
Well there is development I am not gonna say every little development that's going on bugs are being fixed jus not as quickly as you wanted
[Xperia Z5 General] ouzqan:
We didn't have the proper knowledge about these small developments.
[Xperia Z5 General] hepter:
I have a (maybe stupid) question: Z5 have the same camera module as the XA2 and it's already have oreo AOSP, the developers can use sources from XA2 rom?
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
Possibly but usually porting stuff from one to another is not recommended as it just causes more problems however I do not know if it's the case here too the developers afraid trying to build the camera from scratch to make further development potentially easier
[Xperia Z5 General] PureMAD4:
I think it maybe time for me to get a new phone. Love my z5 but think after Christmas I'll get a new one. I like the look of some of the Xiaomi phones
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
Haha get either the xiaomi mi a2 or Poco f1...I got the mi a2 great performance and its on pie already
[Xperia Z5 General] ouzqan:
can you share last build?
[Xperia Z5 General] dharanifoxx:
i've Somewhat made Lineage os 15.1 For Xperia Z3+/Z4. It Boots And Working. But Camera is Not Working . Wifi And Bluetooth Somewhat Works. You Can Edit The Boot Image And Build Prop And Easily Get Working On Z5.

[Xperia Z5 General] PureMAD4:
Just got the pocophone F1 and it's awesome for 200 with a free 20000mah power bank. Best phone I've had so far. Selling my Z5 now.
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
Lad! Everyone on this forum sell your z5 now and buy any xiaomi phone with either these processors....sd 660, sd710, sd835, sd845, sd855, anything lower than the 660...just stick to the z5 lol ??....not because I have anything for xiaomi but it's super cheap and highly customizable also giving great performances for prices :)
[Xperia Z5 General] emirhan7:
seems so

aperently sad ı was dreaming about lineage 15 :rolleyes::(

ım just waiting the end of my warant still lot of time tho 8/9/19 also new phone screens kinda weird

when ım gonna see proper 21*9 screen phones
[Xperia Z5 General] H3ADROOM:
Idea is nice , but i would recomend to just port a ANDROID P custom rom (Such as Ressurection Remix 7) from a Nexus 6P , it has a nearly same specs , it differs only in a screen type (AMOLED on Nexus and IPS on Xperia) and battery capacity ( 3450 mAh on Nexus and 2900 mAh on Xperia ) ( and also screen resolution differs)
[Xperia Z5 General] dharanifoxx:
Does Anyone Look At This Channel. This Guy Makes Guide To Build Rom From Scratch.. Latest Video Shows Upgrading Device Tree From Lolipop To Higher. Seems Like Easy. Hope Anyone Look at This Guide To Make/Port Rom For Our Device...

Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnGqG_jyyXmTzdamBpKfeHA
[Xperia Z5 General] :
[MENTION=7749536]Berni-0815[/MENTION] Looks like someone got camera working then.

Maybe you guys should talk to each other
[Xperia Z5 General] :
Basically, the only thing not working was the Fingerprint scanner, Wich [MENTION=7749536]Berni-0815[/MENTION] got working.

The camera works but [MENTION=8692360]Quantumkk123[/MENTION] doesen't want to release it's rom to the public.

We have oreo, we just need Qunatumkk's rom to be public, instead of just saying "Get a xiaomi phone cuz we don't want to work anymore".
[Xperia Z5 General] Berni-0815:
If this is the same guy as in our telegram chat group, than it seems that he (and almost all others!!!) stopped development for our device at all! :(

Yes! Fingerprint is working, but there are still a lot of things not or only partially working! My ROM for Sony's XPeria Z5 compact (please don't ask for other devices) can be found here. There you can read, what's working...

...or not... ;)

That's not right! Another guy is working (or has started working) on the camera issue...
[Xperia Z5 General] :
He could still give you the half finished rom so that you can fix issues with the camera on your main one

But all the other things that are not working on you rom, are working on his private one

That's great!
[Xperia Z5 General] Berni-0815:
The hope dies last! (But he dies too...)

Sure? My information is, that he pushed his work to our github repository and that's the place, where I got my device tree from...
[Xperia Z5 General] :
Well, he earlier posted this comment:

wich should mean that he got the camera working, and the only issue he had was with the fingerprint scanner, that you fixed.
[Xperia Z5 General] Devo7v:
[MENTION=7749536]Berni-0815[/MENTION]: Have you or anybody else considered reaching out to Sony to see if they'll provide any help/feedback? Maybe post an issue to GitHub? I know it's a long shot but at this point the device has reached its end-of-life so maybe they'll be more willing to help. If it seems like nobody is going to help you, maybe your best course of action is to reach out to others.

Here are the links to the GitHub pages for the Z5 series:

Z5 Compact - https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/device-sony-suzuran

Z5 - https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/device-sony-sumire

Z5 Premium - https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/device-sony-satsuki
[Xperia Z5 General] Berni-0815:
In the past Sony had no interest to help with things they are not responsible for, i.e. LineageOS.

Some times ago I had contact with a developer who said it very clear. He helped me to fix some bugs in their aosp trees; but as soon as I pointed to LineageOS, he stopped his help immediately.

So, I don't think that it is worth to spend some time on it.
[Xperia Z5 General] HEKER510:
How download link where is she please link bro
[Xperia Z5 General] MadnessOW:
Hello

hey man i was wondering if i could help you out, i really want a newer android version on my z5 and i wanna do anything i can so if you could teach me the basics i can try to finish the rom or even making a pie rom
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
Not as easy as you think or we will have all done it by now lol
[Xperia Z5 General] BluestreamGP:
Does anyone know if we will ever get an Oreo or Pie rom that works for our Z5 devices. I know its an old phone now and most devs have moved on to newer phones,but will Oreo or Pie ever be working for Z5?
[Xperia Z5 General] Berni-0815:
Oreo; pay attention to my post #126... That's it!

Pie; or take a look at this thread; you're welcome to help these guy's... :angel:
[Xperia Z5 General] BluestreamGP:
Thanks,will do
[Xperia Z5 General] simbanono:
Still being worked on? I feel like this post is going to be dead soon :(
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
It's already dead lmao
[Xperia Z5 General] Berni-0815:
My repo's are available at github. So, everybody can build Oreo (and Pie) for z5p and z5c and try to fix errors.

Don't wait for other people to do this; do it yourself! ;)
[Xperia Z5 General] simbanono:
Easier said than done XD
[Xperia Z5 General] Berni-0815:
That's right! But I know what I'm talking about! In 2016 (!) I started to build my own version of cm13 for z5c, because the guy, who used to build this rom stopped his work suddenly. I had to learn a lot and I solved all problems.

Why shouldn't another guy repeat this? It's possible... :angel:
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
[MENTION=4985401]HEKER510[/MENTION] basically bro this rom is in testing atm doesn;t boot however does install tho but many changes have to be done as our only lucky dev is willing to help out [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] he has kindly pointed out what need changes this rom is basically xz2 rom for this phone nougat version but with slightly more interesting features as well as running oreo but won't be a big change
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
i found out that htc one m9 with our processer has lineage 15.1 rom so please check it out guys and tell me what you think? i will upload link my self because takes forever with the actual link soon

[Xperia Z5 General] saiz136:
Bookmarked. Thanks guys for still developing our old devices.
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
[MENTION=4491034]saiz136[/MENTION] no problem glad we can help but you wont see this rom come out any time soon unless we have devs help us and we do but they cannot be bothered only [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] can ....and i will keep mentioning this developers name because you know what he is probably the only one who genuinely still cares about the device and cares about the xda community thats why we should thank him for everything really because without him we wont have the wonderful kernels to make magisk work or the resurrection remix rom which plenty of time has been gone into so thank you [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] for all the hard work please keep it up i am sure the oreo will be complete one day
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
alright guys i have been asking the creators of oneplus 2 oreo rom how they made the camera work and the core control files etc i have asked sony xperia x creators for kernel changes from nougat and oreo hopefully when they reply we get another step closer to oreo
[Xperia Z5 General] zacharias.maladroit:

basically would be to compare the ROMs and the differing files and post what in your opinion would need changes to get it working

[Xperia Z5 General] frager45:
Any works with z5 compact??
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
Yeah there was until the creators decided to take it down for now we are only focusing on the z5 maybe you can gather the z5c Devs and try developing
[Xperia Z5 General] HEKER510:
Where link for z5 oreo experimental rom

I can download and flash

Please uploading rom brothers ☹️
[Xperia Z5 General] saiz136:
You should try to read first before asking. This are developers talking, not some users who don't know how to back read or to understand the situation.
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
whats even more funny is that it dont boot so even if flashes it will just install
[Xperia Z5 General] whalesplaho:
Without a proper kernel booting up is a myth...

I hope we can get it working soon enough.
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
well lets just say there is lots of oreo development behind the scenes and should come soon :)
[Xperia Z5 General] whalesplaho:
Woah.... Alot!!!
[Xperia Z5 General] DECHTECH:
Good to see some new developments for this device, great work guys.

An O bring up for this device could significantly future-proof this device for newer android versions, so I wish you guys the best of luck ;)
[Xperia Z5 General] vo thai nguyen:
This ROM has a port for Z3 + / Z4 ?
[Xperia Z5 General] balrajs99:
This rom doesn't boot right now. It's under development. Once it is built and booted successfully on Z5, then it can be ported to other devices.
[Xperia Z5 General] Mason76:
Guys,you are best!
[Xperia Z5 General] PureMAD4:
This is awesome hope it goes well.
[Xperia Z5 General] HEKER510:
All developers good luck brothers ???
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
well guys hate to disappoint you guys but i think [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] has done something to his z5 and its been 4 days now that we havent heard for him so i am assuming that he can't fix it hopefully he does because he is possibly the only friendly dev out there for the z5 and is also not that busy to be fair however [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] is really busy considering he has many phones to develop a good 7 i can barely cope with one :) but he will work on oreo for the z5 at one point just don't pm him or he wont get anything done! Thanks lets hope [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] fixes his phone.
[Xperia Z5 General] Myself5:
Like randomly pinging me is better....

FFS. Relax and stop annoying people. This is not our job. We do this in our free time. Just because someone doesn't reply for 4 days it doesn't mean he's dead or killed his phone... You need some god damned chill mate.

Told you before and will tell you again here: The only thing you reach by annoying the **** out of the devs is that they eventually lose their interest at all and don't do anything at all...
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
I am sorry if I have been really annoying not deliberate just really eager to get a working Oreo Rom again sorry [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] and to any other dev I have annoyed.... Just found out that his phone is bent (not safe to use)
[Xperia Z5 General] Duvel999:
Great Work Guys. :good::D

Can't wait to test it, when it's booting.
[Xperia Z5 General] bladesss:
I keep my fingers crossed for developers and I wish you the least amount of problems, I can not wait for my Oreo Z5 :)
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
[MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] is no longer able to develop for the z5 due to it being broken and to repair it would take far too long and by the time it is we will probably already have an oreo ROM developed
[Xperia Z5 General] mrdope16:
So you guys are still going to develop the ROM?

Well it will be very good to have Oreo rom for Z5, first of all as i think many Z5 users on xda wishes to have one.

I know that it will be pretty hard coz I did read the topic and I appriciate that you're still planning to do it.

I'll have notifications on, And will test the first release and tell you all the bugs.

(just include some battery life tweaks in ROM thats what I wanted to have without installing mods.)/

everythings possible so #community -> lets help developers with anything we can.
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
Yes the community does need to step in as someone once said if you want something done do it yourself this implying instead of relying on other Devs to do this for us maybe we can help them. look I don't know [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] said he might I don't know when he has free time give the man a break its not like as if this is his job so let's just wait as long as they need or we can actually start doing the development ourselves which is unlikely so oh well that's all you need to know bro so if you want to make the Oreo rom come out pretty soon you better start learning and developing
[Xperia Z5 General] Myself5:
Ping me one more time asking for Oreo, even if just indirectly and I swear I will gift my top condition Z5 to the next random person I come across. At least they would appreciate it.
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] omg I am telling people not to ping you and trying to get others to do it themselves sorry bro
[Xperia Z5 General] Myself5:
LMFAO. Off it goes!

Someone wants a Z5?
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
Lol
[Xperia Z5 General] Myself5:
you just ****ing did it again. Are you ****ing serious?
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
Oh I see what you mean now lol sorry
[Xperia Z5 General] Mason76:
what's the point in curve 8.0? if even 7.1.2 stable could not port? 2.30 hours of screen, this is laughter. How many will be at 8.0? 1 hour? the custom kernels are far from ideal even under 7.1, and you're talking about 8.0 saying ... we do not have any good developers under z5,this is not nexus 6p,and one plus2!(.a most stable firmware is a runoff of 7.1. 4.30 hours of the screen and everything works
[Xperia Z5 General] balrajs99:
Wow that's a lot of words. You just invited a lot developers/contributors/members to come and scream at you.

Never ever judge anyone who works for community for FREE and takes out time out of their personal life.

Also the 7.1.2 ( Be it lineage / carbon) they are not ported rather that roms are developed from sources and all the kernel/shims everything needed to make the hardware (e.g. camera) work are specific to devices and [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] [MENTION=1964056]HaoZeke[/MENTION] and all others( I don't remember names ) they have done a **** tone of work to bring that roms to our devices. I don't care if it gives a less SOT, I care about their hard work put into our devices which you just cannot understand.

I've a lot to say but, I cannot waste my time in explaining these things to you.

No hard feelings, but just sell your Z5 and buy OPO/nexus whatever.

Edit : Also Sony hasn't release any sources for Oreo for our Z5, so it's a lot of work TODO by developers itself..

Peace. ?
[Xperia Z5 General] DECHTECH:
Android 8 Oreo not only includes performance and battery life optimisations out of the box. But it would add significant gains to support for future android releases as well as security fixes. I'm not saying that Oreo will fix the current issues we have with AOSP Nougat, but there is no reason the community can't attempt to fix it.

We can't stay on Nougat forever.

Even if it takes a year or two due to lack of developer support, it would pave the way for future releases and ensure the longevity of our devices.
[Xperia Z5 General] Mason76:
I have great respect for the work of developers, but if you face the truth, all the custom firmware from 7.1.2 are not suitable for use on each den.trotling big batereyku does not hold at all, in toys do not kill the time, all of lag, and if not lagvet grafikv, the music stutters, that there is one scenario for the use of ETL management and calls, duck and what a difference I will communicate in andrlid 6.7 or 8?)) well at least google pay works too urgent function for me.I just want say that I'm sorry for the works of developers, the 810 platform is the most crooked. For example take the same Xiaomei 650 Snap, switching to bare custom firmware 7.1.2 added battery life and stability as a whole, but in all Sony naoborot.sobstvenno phone outlived itself ... it does not even sell
[Xperia Z5 General] balrajs99:
I agree SD 810 is infamous for overheating. But it is what it is now, we shouldn't complain about it now. I appreciate you did not criticized further. But lets just wait for the Oreo to come out. :good:
[Xperia Z5 General] Ara Seferian:
Just close this thread already ?

Its like inviting devs to make a rom (doesn't work this way...)
[Xperia Z5 General] HEKER510:
Why do closed ? ?

[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
ONLY DEVS check description lineage 15.1 test i will not work if you are a normal users basic things are not working sound/simcard/bluetooth/battery life is not really good only devs download to fix these issues and help improve this rom

Thread create 10.5.2018

[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:

probably the fact that ROM got created before creation of thread - so what ? :cowboy:

it's alpha anyway - everyday stuff isn't working

so no daily driver - don't expect to see it until basic functionality is established

thought i would keep you guys updated with some screen shots :)

Whatsup, its bad that i upgraded from Z5 to Pixel that I can't test the first release now, but anyway is it going well?
[Xperia Z5 General] Tickle.:
Hi Quantum,

I'm really awaiting your work as well !

This rom will be pure stock i guess ?

Do you have any idea of how much work do you still have on it before first release ? somewhere this summer ?

see you
