Thank you

I compared it with mixer_paths.xml in LOS 18.1 ROM,

I didn't see any difference.

Even with the Mixer_paths.xml of LOS 18.1 ROM, volume did not change.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] norabitox:
Thank you TRKARTAL

I'll try it.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] VBBoston:
Hopefully it can be resolved.

In addition to fingerprint sensor I noticed there are no LED indicators when charging (red, yellow, green)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] norabitox:
I'm sorry TRKARTAL

The Bluetooth earphone volume became the same volume as Los 18.1 after disconnecting once and pairing again.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] norabitox:
The problem was resolved before I tried Viper4Android, so

I didn't use Viper4 Android.

Thank you.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Ermann123:
Is it possible to exclude the gapps from the rom (during install) ?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] DevelLevel:
So you your problem is fixed?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] DevelLevel:
Strange, when I charge my phone with OS on, I get red charging indicator when under 40%. Then yellow but not green. It stays red when charging without OS booted. But this should be a kernel issue. I'll see what I can find...
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] DevelLevel:
Then it probably isn't a feature in this ROM :(
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] DevelLevel:
Gapps is not required for this ROM to work, but you can't change "styles" in settings if you don't have gapps. I'm sorry but i can't fix this, it is what the Havoc team has chosen. Though "styles" is not the most important feature... you can survive without it :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] norabitox:
Hello DevelLevel

When the earphone volume goes down, I'll try pairing again.

I had the same problem with Los 18.1.

It may be a problem with earphones.

However, there is no problem with Los 17.1.

Thank you.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] DevelLevel:
No problem, hope you all enjoy the builds. I'm trying my best with the time that I have :)

Unfortunately it does not seems like Havoc OS is as fast as AOSP Extended and Lineage OS with the security updates, and that's when I release new updates. But it isn't that bad, they are only one month behind...

[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] beflythis:
anyone successfully using android auto with this? Would love to try the build, but hate breaking a perfect setup to experience new bugs and ultimately revert.

Any qualitative feedback on the camera performance?? Is it "like stock" as an AOSP rom, or "exactly stock" ?

Thanks to devs for the work!!!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] DevelLevel:
I have not tried android auto with this ROM, but I can maybe test it during this week if I got time. Camera performance is the same as if you would use @Berni-0815's lineage 18.1, because i'm using his blobs (thx!). I would describe it as a little bit worse (due to proprietary stuff) than the stock Sony ROM, but not much worse:)

np
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] DevelLevel:
I can now confim that Android Auto is working fine on this ROM :cool:

[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Ilko:
Wow, I'm surprised to see updates for this device. I had to pick mine back since my Pixel is dying slowly : D

It's a good ROM with essential features, but :

• Recent is not customisable

• No clear all button

• Wifi hotspot is broken

Is there an Android 10 version of this ROM ?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] DevelLevel:
ROM changes are nothing that I change I'm simply compiling what havoc os is releasing. So I will not change the recents menu customisation options.

The clearbutton is in the middle in between the screen shot and share button in the recents menu.

I will investigate more about the hotspot issue.

No I have not compiled any android 10 ROM.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Ilko:
hmm maybe it's because I used a third party home app. I did some testing and rebooted several times but there was no clear button, or I missed something maybe, not sure.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] beflythis:
thanks for confirming android auto works!!! Going to give it a shot now........ hopefully the camera is better than the berni build at this point (re: auto focus); stoked to try out some of the goodness baked into the feature sets.

love seeing devs continuing to work on this device - huge thanks for the recent update.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] beflythis:
24hrs running Havoc ROM and it runs beautifully with android 11.. really awesome to see on such an older device - thanks again for the great work.

Confirming I flashed the relevant gapps after ROM flash, went through the first boot steps flawlessly, allowed Google and Android Auto to update from the play store before first reboot, and the car Android Auto setup completed equally flawlessly - great stuff!

All that said, still at a loss how we have gone from best-in-class camera for this device (half the reason I chose a SOny device) to a completely broken camera that won't auto focus and produces barely acceptable photo images given today's standards. What's the blocker here with fixing the camera and why is nobody working on this?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] DevelLevel:
It could be because of that...

It should look like this:
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] DevelLevel:
First of all I have stated many times that I'm using the same camera blobs as berni (because they are the only ones which work on android versions higher than 7.x) which should reproduce the same experience as bernis ROMs. And there are lots of people working on this issue, it isn't like we don't care!

The blocker is the proprietary camera blobs provided by SONY, they are not open source so it is almost impossible to adapt code for newer android versions.

We are lucky that berni and some other developers were able to even get the camera to work. You'll need to remember that we do this on our free time, and we are not working for SONY...
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] beflythis:
Please check post histories before prompting reminders on context - the first words out of my mouth are always "THANK YOU FOR THE WORK!" - hyper aware this is a side project for the folks who do dev work here. I'm not a junior member and have been posting here for about a decade, thanks.

I guess my surprise at the camera remaining unfixed over such an extended time is that all of the dev work that I see here is quite good, and what one person lacks as an individual, I've seen teamwork compensate for in sharing and tackling blockers together. So when months (years) go by and an issue as substantial as broken camera remains, it does encourage the presumption that it's been given up on, vs being "un-blockable".

Thanks for the longer reply; the context and info are helpful.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] DevelLevel:
I'm sorry if you received my reply in a bad way, it was not meant like that. Of course I saw that you thanked for the work, and I've seen you around on these forums before! I really appreciate that you enjoy our work.

I just wanted to go straight to the point regarding the issue and explain the situation, the part about that we do this on our free time could also be useful if someone else sees this and doesn't know about it, it was meant to inform others.

The focusing issue has shown to be hard to fix but the camera still "works" and therefore more time are spent on other comletely not working things, but the developers has not given up on the issue.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
For me and our little developer group for LineageOS I can say, we have given up in the end!

We don't see any chance to disassemble those closed source drivers.

If anyone could help us with that, please feel free to do so!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] DevelLevel:
Hmmm, okay I didn't know about this.

Thanks for the insight.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] Berni-0815:
This is what I've read between the lines.

Maybe some is still trying to fix it but the kernel is currently the main focus for most of us (that sounds like a huge developer community, but in fact we are only four people).

I have no time currently to deal with it.

Maybe when the weather gets worse?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] beflythis:
Are there limited frequency bands in the build? Recently traveled abroad, roamed with no issue in Switzerland but zero roaming connectivity in Italy; had to double check the phone's hardware band compat which shows it should be fully compatibly with euro carriers, unless they've been omitted from the build for whatever reason.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] DevelLevel:
I have not made any modifications regarding the frequency bands, but Havoc might have...

It is a weird issue though if it worked in Switzerland. I live in Europe and I haven't had any issues so I don't really know how I could replicate your problem...

Do you have any logs?

Were you able to make phonecalls? (Or was both phone calls and data not working)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] beflythis:
landed Zurich -> had to toggle mobile data / roaming on/off in the advanced settings to activate full roaming in switzerland (both data, SMS and calls no issue), landed Italy, all my friends picked up roaming.... *crickets for me*. Attempted the same toggles in advanced settings over and over, attempted the *#*#4346 settings tinkering across network types and multiple reboots, and the only confirmation I had of any reception was "emergency services only" in the hidden/uber advanced band settings menu but could at no time enable any kind of network connectivity - was relegated to WIFI the entire time in italy.

Back through Zurich on way out, roaming again full speed, immediately, no issues. Sorry, no logs as as I have no idea how to pull connectivity logs.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] DevelLevel:
That's bad, sorry for the inconvinience. Sadly I don't really know if I can do anything about this issue. It is hard to replicate, and might in some cases be bound to the combination of your carrier, you being in Italy and having a z5c...

Did you try with another ROM? Like @Berni-0815's los build?

I believe I was able to roam in Italy with my aex 4.6 build...
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] beflythis:
no need to apologize! just any good info on what bands are or aren't included in the build would be helpful to others, I'm sure.

I have global unlimited roaming (calls, text and data) with my carrier so absolutely should have gotten coverage. Most likely the bands are ripped and I did have other builds to flash and test, but the last thing I wanted to do was start wiping and restoring my phone while on vacation.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] DevelLevel:
Yes! it absolutely is important to inform about the network bands, I will add this issue to the main post.

Well if you got such a data plan it is probably something wrong with the ROM. We just don't know if it is for all ROMs or just Havoc...

Of course it might not be the best thing to wipe and risk bricking your only phone when on vacation :), totally understand. (I did it once and bricked it!!!)

Thank you for reporting this I will probably take my Z5C with me next time I travel abroad to conduct some test;).

reporting broken SMS after attempting a dirty flash of the latest update. Had to fully wipe and re-flash to restore full functionality.

Hello Devel Level

Does VoLTE work?

Regards.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] DevelLevel:
Sadly I don't think so... It is listed under not working in Lineage 18.1 (which this ROM uses configuration files from)

I can't test it either becaus my provider does not support it :(

Did you find any reason why Hotspot does not work? Or is there some way to make it work?

Mic volume is also very low on video calls just like on LineageOS builds.

Besides these this seems like a really nice ROM!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Android Development] DevelLevel:
No, unfortuanatly I have not found the reason why Hotspot does not work. This has happened before when I have tried to build AOSP ROMs with LOS device trees...

The mic issue is a weird one affecting almost all custom ROMs I believe. But for me the mic works excellent.

Thx

My Phone is draining -1799 mA of battery.

Does anyone have knowledge on diagnosing the fault?

This happens in any flashed ROM, even on stock
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] Raiz:
idk what's the cause but that's a huge battery drain. Did you tried apps like greenify ? They freeze apps that may drain your battery. If this doesn't change your battery life, well it's time to change your battery!

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] blackhawk:
Don't know if Smart Switch can do that or not.

Nickels and dimes... make sure all critical data in backed up at least 2X, preferably more on electronically isolated hdds.

One back up can be the microSD card.

Apps that allow you to save a backup file, do so.

You can save apps without data using Apkexport. Saves time mucking with Playstore.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] XDHx86:
Nope, you can't backup app data without root or custom recovery.

But you don't even need to, as screen replacement is just replacement you're not going to lose anything in the process or be signed out.

Hi. Sorry if this has been answered 1,000 times, but if I'm on Android 10 and want to update to 11 and keep TWRP working, does simply removing the lockscreen in settings decrypt the phone and allow me to update without losing the ability to keep TWRP? In advance, thank you for your patience and support.
[General Questions and Answers] SofiaXY:
Hello everyone, I just purchased this phone few days ago, this phone was released around 5-6 months ago and yet there's no root guide for this. It's possible to unlock the bootloader via OEM unlocking in developer options, but it might brick if installing with Magisk directly without TWRP (I can access stock recovery just fine)... probably same for Kingo and KingRoot

If anyone can make a guide for this would gladly appreciate it, thanks

Hi! I have found this article in this forum... https://xdaforums.com/t/2020-and-2019-zte-blade-impossible-to-root.4131135/

It seems that Unisoc Speadtrum chipsets are all impossible to root, just like my Itel A33, better stick with Mediatek chipset phones if you want to obtain root, but also newer MediaTek chipsets like; Helio G90T, Helio P22 etc... these chipsets are impossible to root, unless the device manufacturer is an open firmware company like Xiaomi, Infinix...Tecno is a bit not open firmware tho, because I cant find any firmware for newer released devices like Tecno Spark 8P...

[General Questions and Answers] RobbieRobski:
I changed my resolution to 1920 x 1080. Why? Because I wanted to be able to cast my phone to with a 16x9 aspect ratio to my tv without black bars.

Apparently this is a royal screw up because I wasn't able to press nope or whatever after it asked if I wanted to keep the changes. And now, the picture on my phone is less than 1/3'rd the visible screen. In hind sight perhaps I should have set it to 1080x1920 or 1440x2160

I can't unlock my phone. I have tried swiping from every direction but its not working. Using my finger print doesn't seem to work either. Having owned this phone for almost 2 years, I know where the sensor is, it's just not working, although I see the "animation" on the screen.

I've swiped from every direction and I can't get an unlock screen.

My phone is rooted, BUUUT since I can't figure out how to unlock the screen, I am not able to change the usb connection from simply charging to file transfer. Did I just hose myself in the most noob possible way?

If I long press the power button to access the reboot shut down pull out menu, I can't seem to interact with that either.

I have tried to randomly press different parts of my screen and SOMETIMES it seems like the screen auto unlocked and shows the "Easy DPI Changer [Root]" interface, but it doesn't last long. And then sometimes I see a different screen where it shows the easy dpi app, but then also a white box that says
