got all the confirmations I needed, so I will restart the experimenting soon. However I am still not quite sure on how to "do" certain things

I found this

Japanese keyboard with Anthy (aarch64) | OpenRepos.net — Community Repository System

openrepos.net

and this

GitHub - lal883/tama-sailfish-waydroid-instructios: Instructions to run Waydroid on Sony Tama devices running Sailfish OS.

Instructions to run Waydroid on Sony Tama devices running Sailfish OS. - GitHub - lal883/tama-sailfish-waydroid-instructios: Instructions to run Waydroid on Sony Tama devices running Sailfish OS.

github.com

but I am not sure on how to install the rpm from the first link for example. would I need to download all 3 files? and then what?

is there some kind of tutorial somewhere that explains the use of the terminal in sailfish in more detail?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rinigus:
For OpenRepos, you install its client Storeman and then use that to install the keyboard.

For Waydroid, use https://github.com/sailfishos-open/waydroid
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Z0rnica:
so... I went back to experiementing, managed to install waydroid from chum using your short tutorial, installation went through, did a reboot as instructed, activated the waydroid from boot option (went with waydroid settings) but every time I want to start it from the app grid, it just loads for a few seconds and then goes away.... I am supposed to see a full lineage ui, right? I also don't get any error messages... how can I trouble shoot?

edit:

with the command "waydroid show-full-ui", I just get "faiuled to get service waydroidplatform, trying again..." (and that continues forever)

tried "waydroid session start", but that also just gave me an error (xdg session is not "wayland" failed to start clipboard manager service, check logs
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rinigus:
I would suggest to use `waydroid-runner` instead and uninstall `waydroid-settings`. As you probably already installed -settings, you would have to cleanup .desktop files if you wish to switch.

Again, it is not really port-specific question - better ask some general SFOS forums.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Z0rnica:
what would be the correct command to uninstall it?

(general SFOS forum kinda takes quite a long time for replies...)

I just found this arch tutorial, which said that the error message indicates some missing python thing, but I couldn't figure out, what the equivalent in SFOS would be...

Waydroid - ArchWiki

wiki.archlinux.org

also seems like a few have the same issue.. I hope I can find a solution

Waydroid uses a container-based approach to boot a full Android system on a regular GNU/Linux system like Ubuntu. - Issues · waydroid/waydroid

edit: looks like everything points to "install pyclip", but couldn't find that in any of the repos (?)

edit2:

since I didn't do much so far I just flashed SFOS again to start from scratch and went with waydroid runner this time. at leas this time I got a little further to "waiting for Android UI", but seems to be stuck at that :/

We tend to collect issues at https://github.com/sailfishos-sony-tama/main/issues

We are currently on hybris-10 version. As for how well does it work - hard to say. Depends on what do you compare with. Hardware support should be similar to AOSP10 on XZ2, SFOS is aarch64 version.

How? Is it possible?

I tried so many times to flash every custom ROM even including the aosp one I built from the sony official dev channel, I failed all time. did you do repartitioning for flashing? or is there anything you can help me to flash aosp-based custom from into my so-05k?

ps. I unlocked the bootloader with

already
[Sony Xperia XZ2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lal883:
I cannot comment about installing aosp based roms. But I am using the linux based Sailfish OS on it still and it works great. Didn't have to repartition specifically. All I had to do was modify the flashing script to not exit but continue with flashing when it discovered SO-05K instead of H8314.

Hi, I hope someone could guide me in the right direction: I installed aosp 10 and I'm stucked with the flash.sh script which always promts:

The supported Sony Vendor partition image wasn't found in the current directory.

Please download it from

Software binaries - Open Devices - Sony Developer World

developer.sony.com

Ensure you download the supported version of the image found under:

"Software binaries for AOSP Pie (Android 9.0) - Kernel 4.9 - Tama"

and unzip it into this directory.

I downloaded and copied the following binaries in the sailfish directory:

SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_9.0_2.3.2_v4_tama

SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_9.0_2.3.2_v7_tama

SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_9.0_2.3.2_v8_tama

SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_10.0.7.1_r1_v3_tama

SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_10.0.7.1_r1_v9c_tama

SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_10.0.7.1_r1_v12a_tama

I'm still stucked in this final step, anyone could help me? I don't know what' I'm doing wrong.

*Update, just in case this is useful for someone I found what I did wrong, somehow I was using an older binary of Sailfish which was not compatible with the binaries, I checked and downloaded the last one and now it flash properly.

Great work with porting. Flashing went extremely smooth coming from Lineage 19.1 on my XZ2C. But this is not for me. Been messing around with CHUM and OpenRepos/Storeman and while a bunch of apps are easy to install, a lot are not. Plus no decent musicplayer, kodi remote isn't great and waydroid, well, ...

So I'm going back to Lineage. But how? It seems I can't I just fastboot flash recovery and sideload LOS zip? Tried it, didn't work. I wasn't able to boot into recovery? Any hints/tips?

Anyway, best of luck with your project!

I think you should be able to boot into TWRP using AOSP-based TWRP (not stock). From there, it should be possible to flash any AOSP-based ROM.

As for going back to stock - make sure you use PC with USB2. I had to swap to older Linux PC for it.

4.5.0.16 SFOS release

This is to announce 4.5.0.16 SFOS update for Xperia Tama devices: XZ2, XZ2c, and XZ3. Please read release notes and description below before update.

As mentioned in the release notes, there is now a flickering of SONY logo during a boot. See issues linked in the notes for details.

Waydroid configuration is now provided together with device configs. So, update should uninstall package waydroid-gbinder-config-hybris. This package is not needed in Tama devices and will cause a conflict if installed.

For Waydroid users, I have managed to get it working only using the latest Waydroid images. Older image had to be updated with waydroid internal update command, that went quite smoothly.

For OTA users, update from 4.4.0.72. That is the update path that I have tested. At the moment of writing (13 Feb 2023) only OTA has had a limited testing. So, early adopters, please report how it went. If someone preferred to flash the image, please report as well. For those wishing to be on the safer side, wait till more users would have a chance to test the release.

Images will be generated as soon as I can and made available accordingly.

I flashed the vendor.img and system.img from aosp 10 branch before just to be sure. But they seem to install the os on the userdata partition when reading the flash.sh.

And after flashing it works perfectly well except a flickering on the sony logo on boot! Kudos to the sailfish team that's impressive!

4.6.0.13 Release

This is to announce 4.6.0.13 SFOS update for Xperia Tama devices: XZ2, XZ2c, and XZ3. Please read release notes before update.

As mentioned in the release notes, Waydroid does not start in 4.6.0.13. At this moment, I don’t know how to resolve it.

Note that during OTA update, my screen went blank. As I am usually running those via ssh, it wasn’t a problem. However, local terminal users could be in a situation where it is not clear whether update has finished.

I have updated OTA instructions and recommend using SSH with it. Please read instructions if you plan to update via OTA.

At the moment of writing, this release has had a limited testing and only via OTA update. So, early adopters, please report how it went. If someone preferred to flash the image, please report as well. For those wishing to be on the safer side, wait till more users would have a chance to test the release.

Images are available for this release.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_aman_mittal:
I'm using Moto C plus since past 2.5 years. Last week it suddently restarted. I thought it may be an issue of main memory full. So, let it to restart. But it went on a bootloop. I had more than 2GB free in internal storage. Then I wiped cache and tried booting. It booted successfully and then after 5-10 seconds it froze again and restarted and the bootloop continues. I tried wiping all data but no luck. I tried system root integrity check which failed. I flashed stock ROM again and started phone but the same issue continued. It boots successfully, I get home screen and then after 5-10 seconds reboots.

I thought of flashing custom ROM then. I flashed TWRP. While I was flashing zips using TWRP, TWRP itself restarted randomly. I somehow flashed DotOS and Ressurection Remix with GAPPS but same issue existed.

Now I'm back on stock ROM. Sometimes it boots successfully and then after using for 5-10 minutes it randomly reboots and get stuck in a bootloop freezing on Moto logo or Lenovo logo and then restarting.

What could be the issue here? Is there a hardware problem?

Hey,

I've been using Amazfit Verge for about three months. Everything was ok until yesterday when some of the notifications stopped working. I didn't change anything in the settings. It stopped by itself. I still get notification when someone rings or the alarm clock is set but all application notifications such as Messenger, Facebook od Telegram do not work. I tried to unpair and pair the smartwatch again, uninstall and install the Amazfit application but the result is still the same. Thanks for the help.

[Amazfit] lfom:
Amazfit has an option to test notifications: if they work but you don't get notifications from other apps, then you must reset Amazfit app permission to access notifications in phone settings. If the test notifications don't work then something is wrong in the connection between 0hine and watch (make sure watch isn't in DND/Silent mode).
[Amazfit] Rav96:
And today it has happened again. Notifications stopped coming to the watch again, and nothing changed in the settings.

Dear

I unlock my HTC10 then flash TWRP recovery and PE ROM

after that I do "fastboot oem lock" ..............

now my phone can't boot anymore >.<

When I power up my phone it only show "HTC" for half second then power off automatic. If I plug the power cable, it will keep turning on and off.

Is there are any way to fix that with out change motherboard ?

Following video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh9u7v-VoiQ
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] andybones:
wait why did you run fastboot oem lock??

if you were wanting to lock you need to run an RUU first (for future reference)

by the "phone can't boot anymore" do you mean like nothing. completely dead? (Bricked)

you can't get to bootloader or download mode? Try holding volume up, volume power and power for a few minutes, see if does anything.

does it show charging light?

I am not experienced enough to give more details, esp about motherboard, but if can get to download or bootloader try RUU that matches the firmware on it.

(gotta be very sure about what you're doing when running commands esp. once the device is unlocked. once unlocked it's on you what you flash and run..)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] elween07:

and some people say natural selection doesn't exist
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] khaninator:
Oh dear!

I dont like to tell you this, but you have hard bricked your phone and it cannot be fixed using software.

Locking the bootloader is ONLY for when you are on pure stock. Even having a custom recovery (like TWRP) isnt allowed even if the ROM is stock.

In locking it, you have hard-bricked it, and there isnt ANY way to recover this using software. Nobody on XDA has EVER been able to sort this one out.

Your best bet is one of two options:

1. Buy a new phone. Yeah, pain I know, but the HTC 10 is now 3.5 years old and it might be cheaper to just buy a new phone than try to fix it.

2. Get it fixed at a repair shop. I can imagine that a few local places might not be able to do it, but maybe somewhere can. It's worth an ask?

I seem to recall that using a JAVA card or something like that you might be able to fix it, but if you have locked the bootloader with a custom rom on it, then the chances are it is over for you.

Hey, don't beat yourself up too much about it; we've all done stupid things in the past. I reversed my car into a concrete post last month and it cost me a fortune to fix it!

Such is life.....
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] bynarie:
Bro, never relock the bootloader. That's just a bad idea. You most likely hard bricked your phone and there is no way back. That's not 100% for sure but if u flashed any non-htc images the bootloader will not boot it. Thats why you keep it unlocked, so it can boot unsigned images. That's why it keeps shutting off.
