FXP AOSP Builds For Z5P (Dual Also supported, not tested) - Xperia Z5 Premium General

FXP AOSP Website
AOSP_M_161203_satsuki.zip is the build/ROM i tested
Working:
Camera - Semi buggy, upside down.
Wifi - Rather solid. Offered up 200Mbps on a speedtest
Bluetooth - Added wireless earbuds and they sounded crystal clear
Finger Print reader - Working (setup and tested 100%)
Battery life was pretty good during the time i was testing it. It only dropped 5% for the 2 hours i tested it.
I would call this one 90% ready for prime time. Once they settle a couple more issues with the camera it should be good to go!
I flashed This Camera Mod and it seems to fix most of the camera issues while adding features. There is still some inconsistency with it launching but it was mostly good to go. All the images looked clear and the camera was 90% responsive to everything.
This post is 100% informational so others know about their builds. I am in no way part of this group in any way!

I confirmed this running in E6883. I think there are some problems on boot.img, since I cannot see any boot screen. Other than that, the phone boots up well w/ GApps.
SD Card is NOT supported.
Fingerprint sensor seldomly works. I had very hard time getting the sensor to recognize my fingerprints.
I had no issues with camera based on the given stock camera app. Quality is terrible but I had no orientation, discoloring problems.
Mobile data is random. Sometimes I get LTE, sometimes I stay at HSPA, sometimes I get no mobile data. Phone call works great though.
I can confirm there are no problems with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
If anyone can post a link with working boot/kernel as well as TWRP that works with this ROM, that would be great.

[Q] Best Kernel ?

Whilst a full Android Build has some flavours thus making it taste-dependent, kernels are the core component of each meal here - and therefore I think it is a valid question - which is the best kernel so far.
There are several - each one with a problem
1. some freeze due to gsensor
2. some work with RMNET, some with PPP only
3. some have premature flash on camera
4. some have louder sound volumes
5. some have tethering
6. some cause random data disconnection ..
But it seems that the problems are different. It seems that if the best of all kernels is collected into one - then there will be a perfect kernel.
I have tried several but lost count and trace of which kernel exhibit which problems.
Important for me are 1, 4 and 6 to be working. The rest are bonuses. Have you tried a kernel that meets this?
If not - could you describe your kernel - what is working and what is not - taken from personal experience !
Hello,
I tried the froyo 2.2.
It freezes when I am calling someone (usually I can't do missed call because the OS freezes and I can't end the call before my friend opens on me the phone and answers :S)
This is the most annoying.
Also sometimes It looses the touch. Only buttons work

Yes that seems like a G-sensor problem - if you use GScript Lite and the two little scripts to kill the gsensor - freezes will go away. But you will loose the gsensor

That's a general issue of actual kernel-developement. I think I have tried almost every kernel since the past weeks.
Whatever kernel you are using you always have one ore more issues.
The actual evo-kernel gereration resolved touchscreen freezes, has tethering, louder volumes but only works with ppp. There are (new) problems with camera (flash), music stuttering and random data disconnections.
The older desire-based kernels do not have random data disconnections (especially on rmnet), camera works imho better (but not perfect), but have random touchscreen freezes (if gsensor is turned on), no tethering and are more quiet in using the phone.
You see that there is always a compromise you have to face.
AFAIK the kernel developers have their focus on developing an EVO-based kernel and they are working hard to resolve the issues. The desire-based kernels don't have a great future because there seem to be general issues that cannot be resolved.
Not to forget the new Desire HD. I cannot estimate, what potential there is for using it on HD2.
IMHO it will take another 3-6 weeks to resolve the greates issues with EVO-based kernels. Maybe earlier...
Indeed!
Yes, the EVO kernels fix some problems probably because they are not very mature yet. GSensor still not working properly, and although freezes have gone, an annoying lag to wakeup is still there (not often - but still - noticeable)
I tried mattc 1.8 .. which is based on EVO, and although I liked the nice strength of the sound volume, it would drop data from time to time. It is great when it is working, but you can't see if it is working, unless you open something that needs data, because the indicator always stays - as if all is working well. And that of course means - all your background sync will fail from time to time.
I reverted back to mattc 1.7 RMNET which has both very fast and very stable data connection. I had to disable the GSensor - to get rid of the screen freezes.
Anyway - lets support the developers - they are doing a great job! I am sure that not before long, we will all have very stable Androids on our phones, and then we will be creating yet another partition on our SD cards to accommodate the new ports of WP7. On a completely different topic - the new HD7 - apart from having slightly more RAM - has the same hardware specs as our HD2. It seems that HD2 will keep its greatness for a bit longer And yet, its price is dropping on ebay, as it is now almost a year old model.

How stable/reliable is the S5 running CM12.1/13?

Hi all,
Currently looking for an upgrade from my Moto G and have a specific list of requirements (long-ish battery life, cheap-ish, ideally fast charging, ideally ANT+, ideally waterproof, accurate GPS for tracking runs) which the S5 seems to meet well. Only thing I dont think I could live with is TouchWiz (and the assosciated lag I would expect it would bring with it).
My question: how is CM running on these devices with regards stability and force closes etc. Can live with a small dip in camera quality and having never had a fingerprint scanner I wont miss it but really need a rock solid, stable device. Is there a better alternative out there (am also closely considering the Zuk - but not waterproof and possibly patchy GPS - and the Moto X Play - slightly more expensive and reports of lag)?
I'm currently running CM13 on my KLTE, and it honestly seems fine.
Battery life is just under 4hrs SOT.
It charges pretty fast IMO (About an hour and a little bit with a constant 1800mA @ 4.5V)
Though was I've read in a quick Google search is that CM doesn't support ANT+ ever since the s4 branch.
Never had issues when the phone's been blessed with water, Its a pretty tight seal all around.
GPS is accurate. I usually get a fix within the first ten seconds. Mind you I use GPS Status to download AGPS info to help.
I rarely get force closes but there are the occasional soft reboots with the phone, which seems to put it in a boot-loop when it does. But that could be my configuration of Xposed and other modifications that do that.
i dont like the in-use battery life at all, deep sleep life is insanely improved on CM13 i assume due to doze, you can buy third party extra large batteries that are also a replacement for the back cover
cm-12.1-20151226-NIGHTLY-klte = quite stable, think i had only a couple minor bugs, no crashes, my baseband is a little old, i tried some gps app from fdroid during a walk & it was as if the calibration kept changing... i passed the same spot more than once, it would be too far north one time then too far southeast another time & so on, but maybe it was storing literal data points (some other apps, especially map apps i would assume they might auto align themselves to roads), crashed the camera when using opencamera too fast or switching between it & stock camera, opencamera couldnt do 60 or 120fps videos even though the option was set
cm-13.0-20160116-NIGHTLY-klte = turning flashlight off kills camera (& the flashlight tile) until reboot, i was going through menus fast or something, the status bar crashed & then soft reboot was frozen on the loading face icon, i was hoping snapdragoncamera was enabled cuz i see it in changelogs, but i still see stock camera unfortunately...
charging is quite fast, from 0 to ~80% at least (this is normal for about every device anyway)
i havent tried any other versions yet, i dont have gapps, only been web browsing in lightning browser (from fdroid), trying kernel adiutor, notepad, little bit of camera, i dont have a SIM card yet, hope it works fine...
i believe i saw a modified TW rom that keeps the TW framework, but visually tries to be AOSP, the purpose of course is to be able to use the samsung camera & some of the other proprietary apps/features
My build is a KLTEusc smg900r4, with cm13, on first boot I had issues with the access points to the mobile network, but after I input one access point it found the rest on its own, only other issue is when sending long text messages it doesn't go through from some reason, overall very proud of it, much better than touchwiz

Performance / Issues on OP6T 9.0.6

Has anyone experienced any issues on the 9.0.6 update?
I've noticed slowness on the accuracy of face unlock and fingerprint compared to 9.0.5
I've also noticed some lag in speed and apps just randomly closing, not crashing, just closing.
Anyone else experienced these or other issues? Post and these will be shared with OnePlus for review.
Nova Launcher crashes randomly like 1-3 times a day.
Higher idle drain in comparison to 9.0.5.
Rest everything seems normal to me on 9.0.6.
I have had some apps just close. Also get freezing with Nova launcher at times. I cleaned the cache for all apps in TB and that seems to have fixed the problem for now.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
Absolutely no problems here.
No Issues with Nova and battery runtime
No issues with performance or anything compared to 9.0.5
SOT for me is lower and idle drain is definitely worse for me and a number of others, with regards to performance it's around the same
Has been behaving like 9.0.5 here.
Troubles with Bluetooth headset / car. I think it's when i have switched from one to another (Car - Headset and vise versa), then you are able ho hear the calling part, but the opposite part are not able to hear you. If you reboot the phone, the bluetooth will work again until next time you change bluetooth device.
The use of Dual-Sim on Android Auto are still impossible. You can't even, if you make a call from Android Auto, make the choice on the phone, like you were able to in previous versions (OnePlus 2)
Absolutely no issues here.
Don't know if it's 9.0.6 related, but fingerprint reader unlock appears to be a bit quicker from the actual lock screen rather than the ambient display... Also oddly at times my ambient display will be missing the fingerprint icon (which actually I kind of like, lol) ... no also nothing is covering proximity sensor, I just place my finger where the icon should be and it lights up green still and unlocks like normal. Another issue related to unlocking seems that going from ambient to home screen [via fingerprint] is glitchy while going from lock screen to home screen is much smoother [via fingerprint]... Other problems I've noticed are relative to the force closes you guys have mentioned and I can't recall having similar issues 9.0.5...I was even wondering about a the possibility of downgrading just for the sake of running comparisons.
-I get "ghost notifications" sometimes. Mostly from Download Manager, something I downloaded days ago. Can still show up from time to time on Ambient Display but it's always gone when I turn on the screen again. Yesterday it was the same from Play Store though.
-I get too much stuttering in animations for my liking. Phone needs optimization. I'm not even a heavy user. Not close to it. Still it stutters from time to time and sometimes heavily like 10-20fps.
-Tap to wake is a little bit unreliable at times and wont work the first try.

Android Pie Bugs

As promised by Nokia, all the Nokia 6.1 Plus users got the Android Pie Update at the end of October. I feel like the update was rushed and even though they had the Beta Labs for the Android Pie, it still consists of many bugs. Not sure if there are any other bugs other than the ones I'm listing but here are the major ones:
Battery drainage is comparatively more
The fast charging is not working. It takes 3 full hours for full charge. Also it no longer charges upto 50% in 30 minutes.
There are issues with the WiFi where it won't connect to any network until you restart the device.
Bluetooth switches on its own, randomly.
Fingerprint recognition is significantly slower.
The launcher (Quickstep) freezes or even crashes if you uninstall an app from the home screen. Also it freezes occasionally when you use the navigation to switch between apps.
Please list down other bugs that you've had, if any, down below. Also if anyone knows when is Nokia most likely to push an update for fixing these bugs, do let me know since the November security update already came without any fixes.
UPDATE:
Nokia pushed a new update last night. I'm hoping it contains fixes to the numerous bugs.
Frame rate drop on WhatsApp video calls . Don't see frame rate dropping on duo , Skype or any other app . Now I don't know who should be fixing this nokia / Google or whatsapp.
Fingerprints is not working in third party apps like AppLock.Casting is also not working. When I playing games touch is not working properly.So,these are the bugs after updating with pie.
Drainage of battery is also very fast..
Launcher3 crash when you don't have it as a default launcher and try to tap on recent apps. Scrolling left and right works, but as soon as you choose an app or try to click on Clear All, it crashes and takes you back to home screen.
For the battery drainage, with Adaptive Battery turned on, mine is almost equal to that on Oreo.
It does tell that it's fast charging, though it takes around 1 hour and 45 minutes charge fully, compared to 1 hour 30 minutes on Oreo.
Wi-Fi works fine for me, no issues.
I have my Bluetooth always turned on for my band, and it works just fine.
For Fingerprint Recognition, yeah, it feels slow. My Mi A1 is much faster at that.
I had some other issues with the device's lock screen acting super weird. I've set up Google's Face Unlock, and the built-in fingerprint, with a pattern. Sometimes it doesn't actually lock with power button press, and the lock sound comes much later. At that time, it would not unlock either with face or fingerprint, and even the pattern won't work. It occurs rarely, though.
I'm having some issues during calls, I don't know if it's hardware or software, but my mic doesn't work on calls sometimes. I have read on other forums that this is happening for many users of this phone.
Lock the phone and scan the fingerprint, repeat this continuously for 3-4 times. The phone gets hanged.
Also, sometimes, the screen starts flashing randomly and erroneously. Haven't been able to find out the exact reason for this.
Hi
Bro same are problems with my device.
But not with my friend's device
I want to ask whether it is the inbuilt problem of WiFi or software bugs?
I was so annoyed that I had planned to sell this phone .

Better request service centre to revert back to Oreo.....i visit there yesterday & successfully revert back to Oreo. Now my 6.1 plus is working flowless.
Bluetooth HD audio AAC doesn't seem to work, judging by the developer options.
Although admittedly, I've never used this on oreo and I know my headphones supports AAC because it worked with another device before.
Is it possible to revert back to Oreo?
When I'm on a call, and if a notification is received, the notification sound is of the battery charging sound. Very weird

You can using ost with bl unlocked
pie bugs
1. watsapp video call lags
2. battery draining too fast
3. phone slow down the performance when battery below 10%
4. phone lags usually
5.charging slowly
6. hiding notch not covering full notch
7. wifi issue
Pie Bugs for me:
--WIFI connecting but no internet. Restarting the device everytime is not a good solution. To make sure that WiFi works fine thereafter I do not toggle the WiFi OFF ever.
--"Ok Google" voice activation not working. Neither able to retrain my voice.
--Battery drain is atleast 10% higher over a period of 8 hours in idle mode.
--Fingerprint unlock has become extremely slow.
--Random freeze while trying to unlock using fingerprint scanner. The screen refuses to turn on even when power button is pressed. This happens for almost 5 to 10 minutes till finally the screen turns on.

Take backup on laptop/desktop, your phone will be just like box pack.
Phone switches to vibra only move after reboot
Did not use the phone on oreo as as soon as i set it up it upgraded to pie. I am not facing any of the issues mentioned in this thread so far.

I ordered one phone for my wife and now I start regretting reading about all these problems after Pie update (the phone is not here yet). I was planning to stop updating it from Oreo, any way to do it or once it gets set and WIFI on it will start updating itself ? Interesting that in your case it works, do you think that they changed OTA so new updates gets a newer fixed version ?

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][9.0][chagallwifi] LineageOS 16.0

Hello everyone,
As Android 10 and above seem to be a bit sluggish for this device, I decided to make an Android 9 LineageOS 16.0 build for my soon 9 year old SM-T800 tablet. It seems to be much smoother and stable then Android 10 and even while doing heavy web browsing, watching YouTube in 1080p or using Google Maps navigation in satellite mode, nothing crashed for me. The only issue I found is that the tablet gets a bit hot when actively using it. To sorta mitigate the issue, I recommend rooting the device, installing a kernel manager and limiting the CPU frequency to 1700MHz (where default is 1900MHz). The ROM itself has been very stable to use, only camera video recording and fingerprint scanner are not working as of now.
What works?
Boot
Wi-Fi
Bluetooth
Front and back cameras (photos only)
Video playback
Audio
Sensors
Flash
GPS
Microphone
What doesn't work?
Video recording in camera
Fingerprint scanner
Bluetooth is randomly hanging up when connecting peripherals
Offline charging
You tell me the rest
This build is SELinux Permissive!
Flashing instructions (clean flash):
Ensure you're on the latest Marshmallow firmware for your tablet
Use LATEST OFFICIAL TWRP, or LineageOS recovery (attached with the ROM)
Wipe Data and System partitions from recovery
Flash ROM zip from internal storage, SD Card, USB OTG or ADB sideload
Flash GApps (optional, my recommendation is OpenGApps 9.0 arm pico or nano)
Flash Magisk (optional)
Reboot and voila!
Otherwise, this ROM is good for users who wants better smoothness and stability and doesn't want to downgrade all the way down to Android 7.1.
If anyone wants a build for a model different than chagallwifi, tag me and I can try to build (You'll have to test it yourself!).

For cpu temperatures/speed limits,
Which cpu govenor in the kernel did you use?
You could build a version with the kernel limiting to 1700Mhz so people need to mess around with root.
I recommend upgrading the thermal pads inside the tablet as well

I currently can't find the cause of the sensor not working. It reaches the fingerprint setup successfully, but holding or sliding my finger on the home button doesn't seem to do anything.
Hi Just a quick question.. my understanding is that android 9 does not support dark mode, that your screenshot almost seem to suggest that it does.
my reason for asking is that I am visually impaired, and really can't read anything on a white background. anyway just wanted clarification before I try out this rom.
Cheers

Hi! Android 9 has a partial dark mode. The built in system apps as well as the system UI is dark, but third party apps do not support this dark theme and are light by the default. Many third party apps can be manually set to dark theme.

thanks, I think I'll give it a crack, i'm using the latest Lineage 20 build from another thread and to be honest it's super buggy lol. If this doesn't work out I can always go back to the 17.1 build which was actually pretty stable, but as you point out it's a bit on the sluggish side. Cheers
Or you might try unofficial LineageOS 18.1 (A11) which perfectly supports dark theme. I'm running it on my SM-T805 without any problems.

The problem I found with A10+ ROMs is that some slightly graphics heavier apps or even Google Maps in the browser can crash itself or even lock up the tablet completely.
For those graphics apps I can't tell. But Google Maps I use a lot and it's absolutely stable.

The app itself works fine, but the Google Maps website will likely crash when it's opened in a browser when starting to navigate around the map. And there are many other websites that do crash the browser as well.

Watching youtube works fine, as that's all i do with this tablet now, other than checking my email. Setting up the e-mail did freeze the tablet a couple of times
hello,
So I tried out this rom and wanted to report back my findings.
I found it to be both stable and fast, but there were a few issues, which has led me back to 17.1 LuisROM which given my particular needs really does seem to be the best option. I have actually tried both18 and 20, but neither of them are as stable as17.1, at least based on the particular set of apps I use.
Anyway, the issues I had were:
1) the partial dark mode support was certainly not bad, but given the fact that apps don't follow the system theme, and I could find no way of setting the Google app to dark mode, it was less than ideal. this is no fault of the build at all It's just a limitation of being Android 9, and I imagine for most people it would not be an issue nor a reason not to use this ROM
2) I had a weird issue when I shut the tablet down and plugged it in to power source. The battery icon showed and and then the tablet froze up, so that if I disconnected it from the power source the battery icon still continued to display and the only way to boot it back up was to press and hold the home key, volume down and power. this would seem to suggest there is an issue with the Kernal/ boot loader.
3) I have the official Samsung case with built-in keyboard, but there appeared to be a problem with bluetooth and I simply could not get it to connect. this was the deciding factor like to go back to 17.1

Hello, I'm sorry for the issues you experienced with the ROM. I checked both of the issues and the offline charging issue seems to be there for me too. As you mentioned, it might be related to kernel, but I sadly can't find the actual cause of it as I'm still pretty new new to the world of Android development and I'm still learning how everything works. The Bluetooth issue is something I have now experienced as well. I tried connecting a pair of BT earbuds and they seem to be stuck at connecting at the Bluetooth page in settings. For now I'll update the known issues with those two bugs and maybe one day I'll find out what causes them. And by the way, since you now installed Android 10 on your tablet, how is it for browsing sites? Do sites crash often? Since this is the main thing I use the tablet for (and occasionally watching YouTube and navigation in the car).

Hello, I'm sorry for the issues you experienced with the ROM. I checked both of the issues and the offline charging issue seems to be there for me too. As you mentioned, it might be related to kernel, but I sadly can't find the actual cause of it as I'm still pretty new new to the world of Android development and I'm still learning how everything works.

Hey there,
I wouldn't exactly call myself a power user, but I have not suffered a single website crash on the particular build I am using, Which I believe was created by a very knowledge Developer last year. It might be worth noting that I use Samsung Internet browser, Which in my opinion offers by far the best overall experience, Including a flawless dark mode option that seems to work for every website.
One thing I will mention about the spilled is that the developer seems to have gone AWOL and the download link to his builds no longer works. That said, I have a copy of the build on my google drive, download link SM-T800 Lineage 17.1
Give it a spin and see what you think, Overall I'm very happy with its stability and performance. Because of my visual impairment I mostly use audio based apps, such as Google Podcast, Audible, Poweranp Pro, But I also occasionally use Newpipe and VLC player and again, have not had any issues.
PS Good on you for creating your own build, I almost considered trying to do it myself but it's just too much to take on considering I can hardly see the screen lol
