Official AOSP project for Xperia Z1, Z1 Compact, Z Ultra, Z2, and Z2 soon?

I think I have good news for some of you
There are some hints, that there will be official AOSP support from sony for our devices soon.
For all of you, who don't know: There is a official AOSP project for a few sony devices.
Our problem: Our devices aren't supported (yet?).
But there are good news:
1. The Sony Xperia Developer World github account has forked the rhine-common device tree from FreeXperia/Cyanogenmod. That means they are not uninterested.
2. It gets better: Alin Jerpelea, a member of the Sony Xperia Open Source team and member of FreeXperia, will give a talk about the future of the Sony AOSP support at xda devcon in half a month.
3. And now the best: The github repositority for Sony AOSP kernel recently got a new branch, which is at the same caf tag like our 14.4.A.108 kernel
I am really hoping this becomes truth in near future
Sources:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...-mobile-innovation-with-us-at-xdadevcon-2014/
https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel-copyleft/commits/14.4.A.0.xxx
https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel/tree/aosp/LNX.LA.3.5.1-01110-8x74.0
https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/android_device_sony_rhine-common
UPDATE: the latest git commits are proving it, we will get official aosp support
UPDATE: the latest commits prove that z2 and it's variants will also get official aosp(with the same kernel sources as us, congrulations)
That would be great :good:
Does this mean better camera drivers and stuff?

First 4.3" high-end device and now official AOSP? Sony, you might just make me a Sony fanboy
Does that mean that it could be possible to flash aosp based roms with locked bootloader? Or am I completely wrong here?
AFAIK the repository for current AOSP devices from sony does not contain camera drivers (and others). So don't expect to much from this news.

See the latest commits at the git. They are proving the new kernel branch is for sony devices

If I'm reading the commits right, and I'd like to think that I am, then we are witnessing the official AOSP bring-up for the rhine-platform!
There's over a thousand lines of new camera code here: https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel/commit/f721c1a0585ab6b9d3eb75a84bc2cf79a7813741
Get excited guys!

That are the same drivers as from the stock kernel, don't expect these commits to increase our camera.

The newest commits are hinting on aosp for z2 aswell
Holy $h13!

I wasn't interested in devcon all that much. However, now since i know something like official aosp support might be announced there, I can't wait!
SONY GIB UNS AOSP UNTERSTÜTZUNG JETZT!
Sorry, couldn't handle the excitement
Its now official for Z1 and Z2 ! :laugh:
Xperia™ Z2 and Xperia™ Z1 added to AOSP for Xperia on GitHub
And somes good news for our Z1 compact plus other devices :
Xperia Z1 and Z2 added to AOSP for Xperia project; plus unified kernel announced
official ground for AOSP, sweet
I have a question.
Is there any benefits from this for people who has phone with locked bootloader and with -no allowed status? Or i just can congrats people who has unlocked bootloader?

Android M

Hello everybody
See this
Sony has released source code for building aosp android m for some of its devices and tablet z is one of them
I would build it myself but i have sgp 311 and the released source is only for sgp 321/322
So if you have this model and are eager to test give it a try and report how it goes

Qualcomm security exposure on the Z3 compact

So all over tech news today is the recently discovered vulnerabilty of android devices with Qualcomm chips. I downloaded the app that checks for these vulnerabilities and the links to each bug is below. There is very little that users on stock roms can do about this other than wait for Sony to release an updated version of their ROM. I expect fixes to be incorporated into OmniRom, CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android and other custom roms as and when the Open Devices team merge them in.

Lol the latest ROM is merely on the May 1st Security patch, I don't think they'll ever incorporate these patches in.
These are all kernel patches so they should be easy to patch into a custom kernel
The Sony concept team is very fast with updates and security patches. So maybe Concept-Rom users don't have to wait too long for a patch?
Just don't install random **** from the Internet and you're set. Same goes for Windows devices.
There, just saved you thousands of IT budget.

latest X reality and super Vivid (updated) by gautam_rajput185

hello friends! I am gautam_rajput185 from india
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
# Mobile Xreality and Super vivid #
_________________________________________
#for 64 and 32bit processor#
Note:-
If your device already have x reality then copy only be_xxx, files
And if your device already have "cacao_xxxxx.so" then don't replace them ----------------------
if you have 64bit device then try 64bit version because 64bit xreality is latest updated version of mobile xreality. :good:
if 64bit version works for you then you are lucky if your hw decoder stop working then remove 64bit version and try z3 version.
__________________________________________
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
note:-
---------
it's an initial release so if your phone stop playing video in hw/Hw+ decoder
then delete all xreality libs.
and if it shows placebo effect,
(if you don't see any difference) then your processor and gpu is not powerful enough
if your device can't show any difference in video then that's fault of your device's cpu not my port
it's initial release so your device may have bootloop
so first download your device's firmware before use my port
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
#only for stock sony(64bit version for 5.0+ rom)
or (32bit version for all cpu 4.4.x stock based roms)
( only for official Sony firmware)
("I would like to thanks to "gamzekal" for deodexing sony z5 premium
firmware)
-----------------------------------------------------------
And z3 version for all quad core cpu
#not work in any custom rom
like cyanogenmod, miui,aosp.

#for sony official firmware

#it's pure port means not stolen from other devs

it's not flashable

__________________________________________
so
install it manually
__________________________________________
now __________________________________________
=-copy all files of zip in /system/associate
folders __________________________________________
=-and make permission of every file rw-r-r-
use es file explorer app
__________________________________________
=-and edit build.prop
and write

and save build.prop and reboot
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
enjoy Xreality
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
note :- all libs are important do not try to make changes otherwise it will not work
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
note:-
i've heard many time that Bravia engine2 will work only if you have locked bootloader
but I think it's not fully truth
###for unlocked mobiles it may work in videos on your phone###
"dont steal my work"
And I am not responsible for any kind of damage of your device
So it's better to download your device firmware and flashtool before use my port
don't install if your device don't have Atleast quad core cpu #

Great work sir @PDesire :good:
can you bring support to the z3 tablet? if you can't or don't want to bring support for it, there are no problems.
Hi
Hi, these are from the xperia z3 D6653 23.5.A.1.291

It would be awesome if you could support the application (Universal Kernel Manager to make use of the application [Synapse])

It's possible to force 4K but that would heat your phone and laggs like **** and it would kill your SoT
But I think I will try soon at least to add QHD support
