Snoozing doesn't work.

If I also install Omniclock, I can snooze, but the displayed time was in all three tests wrong after just short time! o_O

What can I do?

How can I replace the system clock? ⏰

Amaze root explorer crashes very often.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] lubik1:
wait for a new build. we will fix it.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] GOrMHATRe:
I have installed this Rom on my phone and it is running well for now. Never thought Xperia X will see android R. I hope different devs converge their efforts on to develop a well working rom.

Couple of problems I have observed though:

Sometimes phone dies not boot up on restart. It just shuts down and has to be manually bootie then it reboots 1 more time to finish the process. Not alway but sometimes .

I am not able to get location. Now, this phone is my secondary phone . I have turned it into a Google less phone working on apps from foss and xda only. Hence I don't have gapps installed. Neuther I have any sim card in this phone. But I am not able to get location with gps and even wifi. I have observed this problem since android 10.

Is their any way around this? I would really like to have location without having to install gapps.

Thanks to lubik1 for bringing android 11 to Xperia X again.

Has anyone tried any gsi? I tried descendant but it didn't boot, so any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] DigitalDreamer:
Maybe it has something to do with the vendor being flashed to the cache partition?
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] CBlike:
I tried Caos works fine except that phones gets heat a lot with out doing hard or intensive tasks also turn off by itself and also appers a message about "Your device has failed verification and may not work properly" but maybe that's a problem I have myself
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] anthonymatar1:
Yeah, well same here, with this rom. I believe these are the 4.9 kernel bugs, so any gsi will have them.

I am gonna retry with descendant, maybe this time it will boot. Thanks man(y)
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] GOrMHATRe:

[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] justfun666:
Front camera doesnt work in other applications, for example Snapchat, only works in preinstalled camera application from this ROM.

Also quality of taken pictures is a lot worse then they should be.

Edit: Suddenly, front camera started working in other apps lol
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] tamisoft:
Yeah, I have that as well.

edit1. I have built the virgin sony aosp android 10, QQ3A.2008.05.001 vendor image, 4.9.213 kernel, and it does the same with the camera. It has an effect, that EV compensation 0 and under works, but not +1 +2. At least this didn't have glitching green lines in the video recording in the cold :) But image is pretty dark

edit2. Well this is very unfortunate seems like this device suffers from the usual Sony problem. When the bootloader is unlocked it wipes out the DRM keys from the TA? partition, and that disables many fcuntionality on the camera. eg. low light images, greenish tint etc. Let me know if there is a similar hack to fool the system like there is for the Z2. I think this should be highlighted on every custom rom what's not working section.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] justfun666:
Also, Speakerphone doesnt work in calls, also this results in the Video Chatting problems too, because you cant hear the other person.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] justfun666:
Hopefully there is some kind of DRM-Fix possible?
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] GOrMHATRe:
Did you perform any steps to resolve that front cam problem cause I have the same problem.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] GOrMHATRe:
Has anyone tried a Google cam on this rom?
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] justfun666:
Tried everything nothing worked, then suddenly boom, it was fixed by itself after few hours, but then again it happened, front cam didnt work. Some bug obviously.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] justfun666:
Also, all sensors stopped working, but got them fixed after restart.

How did you all install the latest build with the build.prop problem?
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] MichaBit:
I do not understand the question.

'How?' Via TWRP and install button.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mase76:
I mean, how did you get it to boot correctly? I still get a "There's an internal error wirh your device". This is a known issue, but there are no builds with a fix available. It seems. that nobody else has this issue.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] MichaBit:
The error message still appears with every reboot. :cry:

I'm hoping and waiting for an update with fixx. 🙏
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mase76:
And everything is resetted after reboot. So I cannot use it on my device, because it is still my daily driver.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] MichaBit:

Hi I just got repaired my broken Xperia f5122, and this is my first time coming back to this thread for the last 1 and half year. I just want to ask, can I flash this ROM directly in recovery?

My version is Nougat (Stock-ROM,rooted).

I can't catch up with the instructions. Can you shed a light please? Thanks
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cubbins:
Sorry for the long absence. We will release an update soon with some cool (maybe not) fixes.

Stay tuned. Thanks!
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kyntoxicity:
Thank you sir, my f5122 is in Nougat stock rom and rooted. Can I proceed or directly follow these steps?

How to Install:

1) Copy ROM to SD card and flash with recovery

2) Download SW_BINARIES_FOR_XPERIA_ANDROID_9.0_2.3.2_V9_LOIRE.ZIP, unzip and copy image to sdcard too

3) Flash Binaries with recovery to OEM/ODM partition

4) reboot

5) After reboot we need to flash/format userdata partition. So, download it and flash with ADB: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img or fastboot erase userdata

6) reboot.

"This ROM bring us Treble support ( ARM64 A/B ) structure for all GSI images based on 11 Android. Just flash any GSI at System partition after it. "

And I don't have idea where to start about this GSI. I'm willing to relearn from scratch about flashing. Thank you sir.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] GOrMHATRe:
Download rom zip file and Xperia vendor zip file and place thme on sd card. Take backup of your data.

Then upgrade your rom to oreo either using official update or with Xperia Emma and boot up the phone too home screen and enable use debugging. Firmware needs to be updated so that custom roms can work with gps, Bluetooth etc.

Install the rom using recovery. Install Magick for root and open gapps for Google apps. Test performance for yourself.

I am researching on a good gsi myself so cannot advise you on that.

There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details.

Is this okay?
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] GOrMHATRe:
Yeah I get that too. Click on ok and just check if the phone boots to the home screen and all functions work properly.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] TechnoHT:
It just a mismatch between the build fingerprint in /system/build.prop and /vendor/build.prop i guess, it doesn't affect much

Is this GSI related problem, or something else ? :unsure:
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mase76:
What is the minimum CPU freq in this ROM? Since I went back to the default 883MHz in Lineage, I no longer have freezes (until now). I enabled 400MHz before.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] TechnoHT:
big min = 883

LITTLE min = 400 ( but default is 691 )
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mase76:
Maybe too low freq. Use SmartPack-Kernel Manager to configure the minimums.

Its been a long since I flashed any custom ROM on my Xperia X F5122 and currently using LinageOS. Can anyone guide me with the process, when to flash the GSI image? Right after flashing the explosive lobster.zip or after I flash the userdata.img using ADB?

1) Copy ROM to SD card and flash with recovery

2) Download SW_BINARIES_FOR_XPERIA_ANDROID_9.0_2.3.2_V9_LOIRE.ZIP and Flash

3) reboot

4) After reboot flashADB: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img or fastboot erase userdata

So where do the GSI flashing part comes in?

and also which GSI image I use from this list

EDIT:

ok so I have flashed and can boot into the ROM but unable to make any GSI image work. Tried dotOS and HavocOS, but none of them are working. Stuck on bootloop. Which GSI are you guys using?

No one has mentioned any working GSI as of yet for this Rom.

i did get Havoc 4.1 and LineageOS 18, CorvusOS work and no problem so far, just trying to figure out why you have bootloop :)
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kloroform:
oh I found out why I was having bootloop, I was flashing the Explosive Lobster ROM and then again sending the GSI system image. I just patched the boot and Vendor to cache partition and then applying GSI worked. I am currently using Lineage OS R Mode (https://xdaforums.com/t/unofficial-lineageos-r-mod-lir.4237683/)

Also tested Havoc 4.1, tested ResurrectionOS which is Android 10 using the old treble boot and vendor images

CorvusOS for some reason didn't worked for me. dotOS 5 made for Poco X2 worked for some reason.

Currently using Lineage OS R Mod and the ROM is working fine.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Kople12:
Sorry I'm kinda new here. How do you patch the boot and vendor to cache partition? Also I can boot successfully in Havoc, Lineage,... but when I reboot my phone, it always says: "your device has failed verification and may not work properly" and then turn off itself.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] TechnoHT:
to use cache as vendor use command "fastboot flash cache vendor.img"

the "your device has failed verification and may not work properly" is kernel panic problem i think, it happen randomly, i never got it before but get the UI freeze and flickering :c
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Kople12:
How do you install dotOS 5?
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kloroform:
I grabbed the GSI image from the Poco X2 forum on XDA. But, that rom faces extreme kernel panic, it works fine but as soon as you reboot, it may reboot at once or reboot after 10 retries.

A quick update on my F5121:

I have installed the 06022021 ROM successfully but I add to install the previous one (07012021) before.

MicroG works flawlessly. Calls, WIFI, 4G, GPS, Bluetooth too.

I have not tested NFC but I don't use it.

The only issue for me it that the front camera can not be used. The camera app does not see it. I have not tested with Signal yet.

Thanks to the developpers for their work.

i don't know how you managed to boot 0602.

on my device stays endlessly on the boot animation ("android"), while logcat shouts lots of errors/warnings.

i rolled back to 0701 for the moment
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] TechnoHT:
According to what kloroform have said, you should boot with default system image to prevent encryption, so you can dirty flash Corvus (´･ᴗ･ ` ), if it still not working, boot with Magisk on default and flash Corvus
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kloroform:
The problem with the GSI ROMs getting stuck on bootloop during first boot or from the second boot onwards is due to the device encryption. You can follow these steps for the GSIs which are resulting into bootloops such as DotOS 5 or CA OS (Tested).

1. First go to TWRP make a backup if you haven't and wipe everything except MicroSD and USBOTG

2. Now connect the device to a computer in fastboot mode (Hold Vol+ and insert USB cable)

3. Flash old TWRP-Q by Sjll

4. Flash boot img, vendor img to cache, flash oem and flash the GSI image you prefer but bootlooping

5. Now go to recovery, go to wipe and format data, reboot to recovery once again

6. Now flash this Disable Force Encryption zip in TWRP (mount system and data if its not mounted automatically)

7. Now reboot to system for once and then go back to flash GApps if you want to

8. Reboot to system, GSI should boot this time, confirm by rebooting after first boot as some GSIs are stuck from second boots

9. You can flash latest TWRP back once again from fastboot now

10. Flash Magisk path fix if you are unable to get root even after flashing Magisk

[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ls-cat:
I've kept using the stock rom on F5121 for a long while and am dipping my feet in the custom rom scene again, but fail hard at installing this rom. Can someone please elaborate in which order which partitions need to be flashed (fastboot) and when/which zip files need to be installed?

Also why do the instructions not mention anything about the treble files or a GSI? Are they not required? Most of the time when doing what the instructions say I end up with boot loops but more often with the 2021-02-06 version, while the 2021-01-07 is easier to install (but buggier).

A bit of context is greatly appreciated, since i'm not even sure which boot.img to use.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] 57op:
flashing order doesn't matter (as long you do not boot into the system before flashing everything).

about treble files or GSI: they could be used if you plan to use a different rom (like LineageOS, or whatever, you can find some links in the previous pages) but not needed to run this rom (which anyway flashes boot partition and cache partition as vendor).

last but not least, 2021-02-06 doesn't boot for me as well... i managed to boot 2021-01-07 version and later i flashed LineageOS Mod R but i must say it doesn 't work really well (random reboots, notification leds doesn't work).

i, too, would like to know if other users managed to boot 2021-02-06 version.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ls-cat:
Maybe it was how i reset the userdata, but in all cases where flashing the 2021-02-06 version worked, I flashed the oem binaries before (not after) the rom zip.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] 57op:
well, thanks.

i'll try flashing 02-06 version again tomorrow, but i would really love not to erase /data.

would it be possible to flash boot and cache/vendor only from newest release?
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ls-cat:
Yeah, I flashed stock rom (probably not required if boot image is compatible) and installed the oem binaries and then only the newest EL rom. it somehow worked, but in between some steps i wiped my userdata. probably not required. BTW i'm back to stock since I noticed that Google Pay does not work with unlocked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] 57op:
so, i tried several times without luck.

i read this topic from the beginning and found out that, also thank to you, that flashing latest stock rom is what i was missing!

so, just to recap:

boot in flash mode and flash stock rom with emma (latest version "34.4.A.2.118-R4E")

boot in fastboot mode and flash oem (SW_binaries...img) and erase data (fastboot erase data)

always in fastboot mode flash recovery TWRP

boot in recovery mode and flash ExplosiveLobster 0602 version

restart

thanks again, now i'll try to install Lineage GSI and recover my lost data :)
