NRGZ28 (Energy) ROMS Bug Report - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development

First and foremost, thanks to NRGZ28 for making great ROMs and turning them out as fast as he does. I know I, and everyone else that uses your ROMs, really appreciate your work and realize you don't have to update your ROMs that frequently or even post them for our use.
Because I saw a need for this in his other threads, I'm creating a bug list for NRGZ28's ROMs. This is really for the users as much as NRGZ28, because most of the ROM threads are either kudos or bug reports, with a lot of repeated information. I'm going to do my best to keep things updated here, time willing, in the hopes that it will make troubleshooting easier for all of us, NRGZ28 included.
I think the best way to go about this is to have everyone report their bugs here as a post, I will post them under the specific ROM version, and if the bugs have been duplicated I will mark them as such (so we know they're not caused by the reporter's specific situation).
***READ THIS FIRST***
A. Before posting your bug, read through the bug list to see if your bug is already posted. If it is, please just post the ROM file name (paste from the list in this thread) and radio version (if applicable) you are running so I can mark the bug as duplicated.
B. Try to do your own debugging first! That means please attempt to recreate the bug from a fresh install...do not install anything on the phone, and disable UC etc., before trying to recreate the bug. If the bug depends on a single program, install only that program before attempting to recreate the bug. This is in your best interest as well as ours, because it will help us debug.
C. After doing the above two things and if you can recreate the bug, post your bugs in this format:
1) ROM file name (paste from the list in this thread) and radio version
2) Program/tab window/setting/external program/computer OS version, as applicable
3) Brief description of the error (one or two sentences)
4) Specific steps to duplicate the error, as applicable
D. This thread is only for bug reports. Put all the kudos to NRGZ28 and anything not directly related to a bug report in the main threads for the ROM you have.
E. If someone reports a bug that you know a solution to, please either quote their bug report and reply with the solution, or refer to the specific ROM listing and bug number. That way, it will be easy to link up the solution with the problem.
F. I will do my very best to keep this thread updated in my spare time. I will not be looking at the ROM threads, so don't post a bug report there and expect it to be reflected here. My ability to update the bug lists quickly depends to a great extent on your assistance with the above (A-E) guidelines. Let's hope this takes off and helps everyone.

Maybe you could try this builds

Hi guys. As I remember that I got these builds from the threads in X1-Forum working on my HTC DIAMOND maybe this is useful also for you as i think it should work the other way, too
Sorry I only have Diamond no X1 and couldn't therefore test but as stated above: I got your builds running on my phone. So why shouldn't it work the other way, too, as my builds run also with Haret but with a modified startup.txt (you have to set mtype and ramaddr accordingly toyour device) and needs an EXT2-partition on your sd-card.
I don't want to blow up this thread or make double post. It's just to inform you:
- Running Android without SQUASH / IMAGE files on an ext2 partition
- Porting Roms to our devices
If anyone can test if it works on X1 then I would perhaps buy me one for future works.
Just follow my signature to the other threads and of course visit the Android Stories-Section of my website for detailed howto's.

[Rom Format] Devs please read

Below is a format that is a guideline to be used as an example of how a rom thread should look. It doesn't have to be exact. I suggest that you stay creative and use all the features in the advanced panel when creating a thread.
Name of rom, team, etc
Introduction
Changelog in code or list tags
What's included in the rom in the (apps, tweaks, scripts, addons, mods) in code or list tags
What works/what doesn't work in code or php tags
Credits (Users name-with link to (profile/github/or thread u got tweak from embedded), and what they did to help you)
Screenshots (2-10 different screenshots of different aspects of rom)
Kernel with either link to thread you got it from or github (if stock sense or cm please state that and that is enough)
Instructions on how to install the rom (also if special instruction for a2sd or beats audio...etc)
Do's and Don'ts of the rom
Questions & Answers section (I find this helpful to write out asked questions with solutions at the bottom of the op. I find that it cuts down on the question being asked a million times)
Finally the dl link
Additional add-ons (this can go into first post or reserved posts after)
I find the embedded link looks and feels better throughout the op if possible.
All sections should have a header with enlarged text and spaced out so people can read it easily.
I am hoping that this helps to make this section a little cleaner and easier. enjoy
The way I look at this is that it takes you weeks/days/hours to make these roms....we can take the time out to make sure that the op looks professional and clean
Not to toot my own horn but here is a link to one of my own rom threads as an example. Link
Also Make sure the op is fully ready before posting. I know we all get excited to release a rom but stating that half the stuff will be updated as time permits just shows that you are lazy and in a hurry which doesn't look good cause if thats the case then how does your rom run....
No posting a a rom thread without a DL link either. If posted then the thread will be removed
Thread title format
Just to add to Papa Smurf151's post, when posting something, please use this format for the title:
[What it is][last updated][Version+stable/test/beta/wip/etc]Name of rom/kernel/etc
For example:
[ROM] [15nov12] [4.3.1BETA] TheBestestKangedROMEver

Topics and questions regarding compiling AOSP based Roms vs other sources like CM

I have decided to rework the thread to ovoid any confusion as the intent of posting this thread was to ask questions about compiling custom Roms from AOSP source that someone like myself who gained their development experience on other devices that building from pure AOSP code was not an option and are not as familiar working with AOSP. In the past my own experience comes from using and modifying for example the Cyanogenmod source so after attempting to now base my Rom on AOSP this time around with Lollipop have run into a few unfamiliar differences. As each question or topic is addressed I will update the Op. The hope is not only will I find solutions or answers to my own questions but that others in the same position will also be able to find use of the discussions posted in this thread.
Compiling the AOSP source into a format that can be safely flashed using a custom recovery. This was a 3 part question the first was just simply how to compile AOSP in a format other then .img files that can be flashed using a custom recovery without the need of flashing through fastboot or needing to use the adb sideload option.
1, Compiling AOSP into the for of an update.zip.
This was answered in short by know.patience by suggesting to use the “make otapackage” command in place of "make" to start the build. Was also made aware that a few modifications would need to be made to avoid producing an update package that does not use the new block format but instead the old style zips we are most used to seeing.
2, Now can create an update.zip using the “make otapackage” command ran into an issue that by flashing the update.zip produced would in the process replace the custom recovery used to flash with the Nexus Stock recovery. This was answered by Lethargy who suggested and provided a Link for the following commit.
For getting rid of the AOSP recovery:
https://github.com/Lethargy/android_build/commit/48521e167c642db76c9d4f52b1c63f9abc7f707f
https://github.com/Lethargy/android_build/commit/1d9224bd45ef2b4f5601a157de2bfe3bb1c95558
3, Now can create an update.zip using the “make otapackage” and after applying the above commit are now able to flash the update.zip without replacing the recovery Lethargy also provided links for the following commits.
To get rid of the block-based zip format:
https://github.com/Lethargy/android_build/commit/4d458300d935a3a9d893a590286cb578dcf54db2
You'll also want to make sure you have this commit so it doesn't flash awfully slow in recovery (8~ minutes, but only around 1-2 minutes with this commit):
https://github.com/Lethargy/android_system_extras/commit/52f8d5fc3edfacd112827d0a41516c1dc5f4a468
This one isn't required but you may as well:

Compiling using the AOSP Master branch vs release branches. In following the directions provided on the Google development site are given the command for downloading the source code using the Master branch. Using the Master branch as apposed to a release branch such as android-5.0.2_r1 or lower have found that the source compiles just fine but have run into one issue and just a general question that a little explanation would be helpful for general understanding of the AOSP Master branch.
The issue is that after flashing a Rom compiled using the Master branch everything in the Rom works as expected other than the radio. I have so far using the same exact vendor blobs as compiling a release branch have not had a signal and baseband version is listed under about phone as unknown.
The general question is that the android version listed compiling a Rom using the Master branch is version 5.0.50.50.50.50. In general I have yet to understand what this version number represents and very little to no information available via the Google Box.
Between the both I now wounder if the Master branch is intended for actual use or if so what changes are required so the baseband version is recognized and radio / Ril will work?
Quick Answer:
Google first commits new code into master and then is later tagged with an update for realease so in generall many things can be broken and the master branch is and not intended to be stable so if building from master expect that things will be broke or buggy.
Compiling Rom and Kernel together. For those of us again used to compiling using say the CM code are now used to compiling the Kernel along with the rest of the code. I know it is easy to just compile the Kernel and include in the device tree but for those of us who would still like the Kernel compiles with the rest of the code there is no information available on the Google Developers site for doing so and there seems to be a few differences as have tried just using the lines used in the CM Hammerhead device repository. I have come across these commits from Cl3Kener that should help. Hate posting other developers code but is on Github so is there for the public at large. So far have only tested as is so will update if finding not all changes are necessary or can be modified.

Adding Pre-Built APK's
Seems Sprint users need a few apk's for updating prl and what not that are included into the Stock release but are not part of the AOSP code. For some reason through vendor or even device have tried adding these apk's into the build. First try I created a sprint vendor section and received a few errors untill learning would need to add sprint into a vendor white list found in build. Will post link to file later. After found the extra "Services.jar" I found in the stock image not found in the aosp compiled Rom did copy into the build but the apk's had not. Looking in the other vendor blobs noticed lge adds "qcrilmsgtunnel.apk" so followed the example and even tried just adding the other spk's into lge expanding the list used for adding in "qcrilmsgtunnel.apk" but still no luck. Also have tried adding through the device files for Hammerhead just to get them into the Rom for testing and still no luck. If this was CM or any other Rom not using pure aosp this would have been a 5 minut project so need to do some aditional homework.
Again think this thread could be a good resource for developers who are new to building their Roms around AOSP so wanted to include everything I run into during the process of moving away from using a heavily modified CM based code as the base of my Rom to using AOSP in its place so developers who are or in the same process or for those in the future can use as a resource to quickly adjusting. I have been building CM based Roms like Starship for years and after hours of working on other aspects to suddenly be stumped by these small differences between platforms can be very frustrating.
to the OP:
answer to your first question comes in two parts.
a) use 'make -j# otapackage' will generate a zip that is flashable in custom recovery.
b) if you plan on adding other files after the zip is made, you will need this info here:
https://github.com/android/platform_build/commit/26e6619c37e294fe2ee63aaa759e0ac861775ce8
There are some modifications needed to generate the OG zip files instead of the new "block" format.
Google hasn't released the 5.0.1 image for the N5 but that doesn't mean you can't build it and install it yourself. I'm running it and it seems okay to me so far although I'm hardly an expert.

I am building a customized AOSP Rom I am interested in sharing so was looking for help or direction in creating an update zip that can be flashed in a custom recovery like TWRP. I am not used to compiling AOSP and with the help of know.patience in the first reply am now able to compile an update.zip I can flash in TWRP but in doing so it also replaces TWRP with the Stock recovery. I have still been using the .img files to flash personally but am still trying to figure out how to solve the recovery replacement issue. I still have other features I am adding and testing before I would like to post my work but before I get to that point I still need to figure out my recovery replacement issue. Maybe using the words personal use may have been confusing but at the moment until ready I have only been using my work personally but would like to at some point post and share. I also have work that is not AOSP based I am sharing in the Android Development section but I have been building CM and other source based Roms and sharing for years. This is the first device I have been able to build AOSP and still have a few things to figure out before sharing any of my AOSP based work. I am otherwise not sure why you think these are questions for general Q&A.
I started this thread in Android Development as there was only about 4 posts in this section and I see many AOSP based Roms in Android Development who's developers obviously know the answers to my questions so tried to get away posting there in hope one of these developers could help or like in the first response point me in the direction of a commit before the thread was moved by a mod into this section. Do you think someone in the general Q&A section is better equipped to help answer questions about compiling an AOSP based Rom in the form of an update.zip that can be flashed in TWRP without also replacing TWRP with the Stock recovery?? Would also be nice knowing what changes in the code need to be made in compiling an old style update.zip that does not use the new block format. This would be a bonus but overall not %100 needed as instead of moving files around after the code has been compiled have added init.d support and first have all the files I want moved into a staging directory and then form an init,d bash script to move the files during first boot and remove those that are not needed like this example I used in my CM based version of the Rom I am trying to update for AOSP for 5.0.
https://github.com/Starship-Android/android_device_starship-common/blob/cm-11.0/app-update
https://github.com/Starship-Android/android_device_starship-common/blob/cm-11.0/cleanup
I must seriously be underestimating the knowledge and in general the types of questions being asked and answered in the general Q&A section.
Honestly if not for the amount of times thanked I would think this comment was not so much about helping or community but more about someone trying to puff themselves up by trying to appear important by making decisions about what questions are worthy of being asked but judging by the number of times they have been helpful I am thinking its either a case of not reading or understanding the question being asked or my own inability to express my questions in the proper manor. Either way its definitely not about taking up resources in a section with less than 10 total posts. The frustrating part as a community as I like to believe we are all in is that why I worked on other parts in updating my Rom had expected that at least more than one developer out of all the AOSP based Roms posted in the development section would have helped me with this one part. Its not like I am asking how to be a developer just a resource to help with two simple things I am sure I could have figured out and will most likely still figure out without any help. Overall my thoughts behind posting this question was that why I am working to figure out something a bit more time consuming at least more than one person would be helpful enough to copy and past a commit.
XDA is weird in that with other devices all the developers would join a team and start a shared group of repository’s for one another to use in trying to make the best possible experience and options for everyone. For example in the op I posted an example of hours of work I did showing what libraries are needed by one another just so others could use it also in trying to port as much as possible for in that case the Galaxy Mini. Then with other devices like seems to be the case with the N5 its all about competition and what I am starting to call the smartest person in the room syndrome. Its just a shame there are only 5 maybe 6 threads posted in this section and I think that says allot about the community in general. So many good things could come about if we just tried to be helpful and pull as much knowledge together as we could. Anyhow think its time for ending this rant.

Thank you this is well beyond what I was looking for and don’t worry I make it a point not to send out PM's with questions that can be helpful for others as well. Otherwise would have blown up the AOSP Rom posters in development but thanks for the information.

If you mean "I'll probably ignore you if you try asking for support over PM.", that's part of my forum signature.
If you need anything else feel free to @‬‬mention me in a thread, though.
I reworked the Op to avoid confusion as Mods have been moving the thread around into different sections. I personalty believe these questions are more geared towered development than general Q&A but at least at the moment I appear to be wrong about that. Never know though as in the past one day one of the mods may decide to move the thread back into its intended location but until then I guess these topics will be of better use to general users than developers.

You should include the other commit (https://github.com/Lethargy/android_build/commit/1d9224bd45ef2b4f5601a157de2bfe3bb1c95558) which fixes building since the first one results in "IndentationError: unexpected indent".

Thanks for the heads up, when testing these I also cherry picked a few other things that looked related. Have to double check but may have forked the repository’s from you so would receive credit if anyone decided to look over my repository’s. Well overall my personal Github has been pretty bare as in the past most work was done on more obscure Virgin Mobile devices with only a few developers so we would pretty much create an organization for all the developers to use.

Have 2 other members listed who I had worked with in the past but has otherwise been a solo organization with one of the other members who decided on going with the Moto X and Verizon over the N5 and showed little interest in his 2012 version of the N7 as it was intended for being a Nexus only device line up and the second being my Kernel Guru from a few devices back who mainly joined to help me out with a few things but ultimately what I am getting around to is this is the first time working %100 solo. Have to say without having anyone to bounce off ideas and share findings with things definitely move much slower and take a bit of getting used to. Is also the reason for starting threads like this. Most of this stuff looking in the developer section appeared to be pretty common knowledge but having never worked from pure AOSP before was slowing down other development for about a week just to figure out what seemed like half the community had already known and with what probably took at the most 5 or 10 minutes of copying and pasting commits probably saved me a weekend of sifting through github and testing. I hope by creating a thread like this will be able to do the same for others.
Hi guys,
Anyone manage to fix RIL problems with master branch?

Why do you need to odex a prebuilt apk?
Not sure if what you want is even possible.
But if odexing your prebuilt apk is necessary then why not odex it then include the .odex with the prebuilt?

Nothing so far, I downloaded the master and 5.0.2_r1 branches and have loaded both in meld for looking over differences but have not yet identified from the dif between the 2 branches that is responsible for ril working in release branch but not master. Still have allot to look over though still. Still have not found a decent explanation of the master branch to know if its recommended to build from but still just for Knowledge sake am interested in knowing. At first thought maybe apn's but not so sure with baseband also listed as unknown from my Master branch builds.

Thanks will definitely update the Op with any findings. Was very surprised to find the thread again as it has now been moved 4 times by 4 different Mods, some bounce it to general Q&A and then is bounced back here by another. I understand its not comprised of the most advanced development topics but with that said is still way more advanced than the topics being discussed by general users over in the general Q&A section. I had just thought it would be a nice one stop place for learning the basics of AOSP development. With the constant moving and scolding messages being received one would think the threads very existence is up there with crossing the streams and threatens the existence of Android development.
@chairshot215 Thank you for starting this thread. Thank you @Lethargy for all of your insight. I like to do my own perosnal builds every once in a while for my nexus devices. What I have observed over the years is that the Master Branch will sometimes have funky version numbers like you have described. One thing to consider is what @malcho mentioned. If all commits indeed go there first before the respective branches(although this may not entirely be the case), then it is likely that some things may be broken in the master branch from time to time, hence the ril problem. I think with the galaxy nexus I ended up running into issues from time to time with the master branch, and from there learned to build for specific branches/tags. For instance, there are times when items within a specific branch will be ahead of master in some areas and behind it in others, as in this link to platform_build for lollipop release https://github.com/android/platform_build/tree/lollipop-release. So with that, it is probably in our best interests to just use specific branches.

Thanks for the response and have definitely learned its better building from branches with a release tag. Still very curious why and how the branches are structured so thanks for the explanations.
Way totally off topic for the thread but landed a brand new SSD and decided to install everything fresh. After everything was set back up and wanted to start building I ran my usual,
-j'grep 'processor' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l'
a very old habit before fully understanding what number to use after -j so used grep to figure it out based on Googles recommendation. The command did not work so removed the grep and just made it -j4 but also with 0 success. At first just figued I missed somthing setting everything back up and "make" is just not working but wrong again as running "make" command without -j of any number works just fine.
Also tried this with CM12 as I am doing 2 versions of my Starship Rom. One from AOSP and one using CM. Figured AOSP would be special for Nexus users why also having a version for CM I can make most changes by adding a Starship Device Tree could easily port the Rom to any device running CM supported or not.
https://github.com/Starship-Android/android_device_starship-common/tree/cm-12.0
Also found why compiling CM that -j also results in an error
Invalid lunch combo: cm_hammerhead--j4
No such item in brunch menu. Try 'breakfast'
So far have not found anything using the Google Box so figured may as well ask. If have not figured out by now I have no shame in asking questions. Oddly enough that is for things that are probably relatively simple. Took a better part of a week figuring out how to start CM using the Now Launcher and setting up init.d bash scripts for moving around and replacing libs after learning the Gapps package includes libs that will not work so the solution needed to be that the CM Gapps package libs needed to be replaced with either stock or libs pulled after installing the Now Launcher from the Play Store after flashing Gapps and the Rom staring. Also then what if user updates and wipes the system partition after the new and updated llibs have been moved into place. Anyhow point of story is things like this I will just figure out without bothering anyone but for the cant believe I need to stop what I am working on to figure out something most likely very simple and can be answered with very little time spent I have no shame in just asking. Not that someone else’s time is less important but like I have mentioned before is frustrating just after spending hours or days figuring out something asked in dozens of threads is just frustrating getting caught up or loosing momentum and thought processes over something so simple there are little resources available. Also I assume most devs have the same experience when you have an idea or thought behind resolving an issue that once you stop and change direction it just sometimes never comes back and that short time you had I guess can be called an epiphany is gone once going back. Otherwise thats how I justify asking dumb ars questions.

[ROM] Community Note 7 Port, Stock, N930VVRS2APHE, De-odexed [5/14/18]

I have decided to release my Verizon Note 7 port ROM for the public so that those of you wanting the best software features available for your Note 4, can have a good ROM base to work with. This ROM is not 100% finished but it is working for the most part. Calls, texts, wifi, bluetooth, etc is all working as far as I know. The purpose of this ROM and this thread is to give the XDA Community a base ROM to work with. I want you all to work together to find and fix bugs and share your knowledge here in this thread so that you can all help get this rom across the finish line. I feel it's the least I can do for all of you who have shown your enthusiasm and support to me. So here it is. I will try to make this OP short and straight to the point.
***You MUST wipe all partitions on your phone AND wipe internal storage before flashing this ROM. So make backups as needed. There are data folders from previous ROM's that MUST be deleted from your internal storage AND your SD card. Make sure you delete the "Android" folder in both locations before flashing this ROM! Failure to do this will result in isues with the ROM. You also need to make a complete backup of any stock Note 4 ROM including the modem and EFS using the latest Note 4 firmware and stock Note 4 ROM which you can find here in the development forum. (kevintm78 has a stockish Note 4 ROM that will serve this purpose). Again, backup EVERYTHING using the backup feature in TWRP and include EFS.***
I'm not going to break down the necessary steps for unlocking your bootloader and flashing a custom recovery. I expect you all should know how to do this before attempting to flash ROM's anyway. This ROM is 100% stock including 99% of the original Verizon bloat apps. The ROM is based off of the Verizon Note 7 N930VVRS2APHE software as well as the Verizon Note 4 firmware, libs and modules as necessary. It includes FlashPoint V4 kernel by kevintm78. So expect a stock ROM experience and expect minor bugs that can be sorted out easy enough with libs, apk's and simple xml edits here and there. You'll need to search around here at XDA for information, tips and files that will help you fix bugs. Upon flashing this ROM you may not be able to receive text messages. If this happens you will need to flash the FlashPoint V3 kernel for Note 7 port ROM's. You can find the FlashPoint Note 4 kernels here at XDA. This was reported to fix that bug. Pay attention and download the correct kernel version for this port ROM. Other than that, you all will need to get together and start figuring out the minor bugs and share your findings here so others can make the necessary adjustments to the ROM.
The person who shows the most activity and interest as well as his/her contribution to this ROM will be made contributor so that he or she can edit this ROM thread, add fixes, etc. I will be watching this thread from time to time and can offer some assistance, advice and knowledge from time to time. You can PM me, but only if you can't find answers here in this thread or elsewhere on XDA.
Donations are not mandatory but are very much appreciated! I spent a LOT of time putting this ROM together for you all to enjoy. Use the donate link next to my avatar in any of my posts. Please share your feedback and bug solutions about the ROM so we can get the ROM updated as you guys find fixes. Post in this thread and above anything else, please keep this thread respectful and please don't be rude or hateful to others. Everyone has something to offer and this is why I want you all to have this ROM to work with on your free time. Have fun and share knowledge as I have done!

Thanks for making this available to all!:good:
For all those wondering, this is the same ROM from the previous thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/rom-coming-soon-t3746380
I don't have the skills yet to help with maintaining the ROM, but I can sure test it and provide feedback.
Thanks again for all who help on this:highfive:
I've installed this rom and played with it for a some time now.
Upon initial installation, the phone dialer would freeze after one use, requiring a reboot and text messaging would not work. Both of those issues where resolved with the OP suggestion of the kernel change. I used the v3.1 for port and root successfully.
I put in most of the apps I use and all seem to run fine. Admittedly, I really don't use anything exotic in the app department. Email, file explorer, maps, nova launcher, sports apps, trip advisor type stuff. All run great.
This rom really is very nice.
The real issue for me is VoLTE. While the settings suggest Advanced Calling features are activated, they in fact do not work. As most of you know, this is typical in custom roms. I spent 50-100 hours (no joke) trying to find a simple solution, as I do not possess developer skills, and came up dry. I really wanted to use this rom as my daily driver, but this is a deal breaker for me due to personal hearing issues. For this reason I am moving on to try other things on this phone, which is a spare/hobby unit.
I will keep a backup copy of this rom on my sd card and would be willing to test something out if someone needs a tester. Should someone indeed get VoLTE working on this rom, I would enthusiastically run it as my daily driver. Good luck.
I'm just going to grab a post here at the beginning of the thread so I can update it later on.
good job!!
you do very well. I hope to be able to use it soon. I think Note 8 is also a good idea

The Note 8 and S8 runs Android 7.0 Nougat. Without a Nougat compatible kernel, we can't port either of these softwares from the N8 or S8. The Note 4 was only updated to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. However there are some ported apps from these devices that can be used. This is what people need to test with this ROM.
After minor hiccup with 2 step varificarion due to texts not arriving (fix in OP), I am very excited about this new DD. Besides the obvious issue with fingerprint, I'm not seeing any major bugs. Other than perhaps a DPI issue with dialer (could be caused by battery saving) I'll update
Update1: GPS boked. Not sure if it's from something I did or if it's a bug. I will look at it again when I have time to test
On the kernel side I had to switch from MPdecision to MSMhotplug to have some of my cores go offline. I'll update
As for battery/wakelocks I'll update when I get some reliable data.
Thank you immensely to you and the rest of the devs still supporting this device. I'll be sending donations to all.

To fix the Bluetooth grab the Bluetooth file from system/lib/hw from a Rom that works and place it using root explorer. In the same area and change permissions and reboot. Same with GPS it will fix.

Reporting bugs
Important: Read the bug list before posting. Anyone can add bugs to the list, just follow the rules.
If you have questions, ask them in this thread: Xperia XZ Pie ROMs Questions and Answers Thread
Don't make me ask you for logs every time!​
I will repeat the rules again here:
Rules:
New bugs must include version where error popped up and which oem version you are using
Only reproducible errors
Should include adb logcat (linked in a pastebin service like https://del.dog)
Must include clear description what is wrong
If it is a visual/SystemUI bug, only report it here
If it is an internal bug(e.g. fingerprint crashes device), report it to the Sony bugtracker as well!
Always try to fix the bug yourself first! Then submit a pull request to Sony
Must search if error has already been reported (bug tracker, this document, dev buglist)
If you've reported the issue somewhere else already and just want to track it here as well, add a link
Before reporting a bug, always make sure to isolate it. That means, wipe everything, install only the ROM without GApps and Magisk and see if the problem still exists. Only then report the bug!

In 9.11
1. Everything still works
2. Charging with plugged at screen off works
3. On gcam portrait mode and night photo gives purple glitched image
And phone seems to be faster.
Bug: 9.11 with oem v2- Clean install
- Hotspot not working
- Phone call issue - Mic and speaker not working, cannot hear anything or say anything << Listed in the bug
- Top speaker not working
Still testing.
An update
Yes, we know calling is kinda broken right now on both oem versions. Yes, we know you have problems with dualsim devices because you didn't flash the dualsim patcher. Yes, battery life isn't very good because we are testing out some increased CPU frequencies so video doesn't stutter. (you can go back to the 11-05 build which has the old CPU freqs and compare).
We're aware of a lot of these issues, and they are all tracked in the current buglist (see post #2).
Development happens mostly in the Sony open devices program, with a few heroic volunteers contributing. Right now, a lot of work is being done to get the current flagships(think XZ2, XZ3) to a semi-stable state, but work for our device is done as well.
You can check progress in the sonyxperiadev repos. E.g. recently, some changes to the telephony HAL integration have been made, see the common device repo.
Why is it taking so long to fix all this?
Sony buys many of their processors from Qualcomm. Lots of stuff in phones is proprietary and covered in patents, and you can only get the source code if you sign an NDA. So even if Sony wanted to, they could not release the source for a lot of things.
See all the files with the name "qti" in them? That's Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. See all the repos named something like "qcom-something-something"? That's Qualcomm.
When there's a problem, we have to report it to Sony, who report it to Qualcomm. This takes time already. And don't forget Qualcomm has suppliers as well, and so on and so on. The same is true for other parts, e.g. the Wi-Fi chips are from Broadcom.
Then, support for hardware stuff is on many levels. A lot of low-level drivers that are driving the hardware are on the /odm partition(the one that the oemv1/v2 blobs get flashed to). Then there is work to be done tweaking the actual hardware abstraction layer(HAL) interfaces that work with these driver blobs. Then there are kernel drivers that can go wrong and mess up. Then it can be a problem somewhere higher up in the Android frameworks. Lots of detective work.
If new blobs from Qualcomm come out, Sony itself needs to do some testing, and then releases a new oem version. It won't just magically work, we need to tweak the SODP vendor side as well. It could be as easy as changing a version to a newer one, but it could also be a lot harder. The sonyxperiadev crew knows what's needed to integrate these new blobs, but it still takes time and testing.
Qualcomm provide the a lot of the source code to work with their hardware and blobs from the higher-level Android side in their CodeAurora forum (CAF) repositories. The relevant changes then get merged into the sonyxperiadev repos and we can test if it works(or if something new is broken...).
For more info, read the Android documentation on hardware etc.
The chip in our phone, the MSM8996, is quite old already(even the SDM845 in the XZ2/3 is already quite old in processor standards). We can be luck that Qualcomm still provides support. But it's not a priority to them, they want to sell new
ones of course. That is also a reason updates can take longer.
Regarding full forced-reboot crashes:
Sadly, as of now, for some people the "/sys/fs/pstore" folder does not get populated after a crash. This is important to diagnose what happened.
You can apply this patch to force a kernel panic on every reboot, but I would recommend that you do
so only if you know what you are doing.
Regarding battery life:
Please install BetterBatteryStats
and find out what is draining the battery.
This could really help us out! But first, make sure you are not running any GApps, because the Google Mobile Services are a massive pile of battery drain.
If you absolutely have to use GApps, please run only the "pico" GApps version!

About the posts here:
Like 90% of posts here and in the old thread are full of people who just plain refuse to read, asking how to install or demanding someone help them out with something that has already been answered time and time again. This makes it extremely annoying for the us who have to scroll through pages of useless stuff to find the genuine bug reports. You do realize this site is literally named "xda-developers", right? If you're unclear on the concept, please read this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16682226&postcount=2441
"This doesn't work!" - "This thing crashes!" - That gives us almost no clue what is happening. We need logs, or we can't do anything about it. I have only one phone, and I only use the stock ROM. There are a lot of nice testers who send others and me helpful bug reports, with detailed explanations in what circumstances it occured, with proper logs.
With that info, the Sony open devices team and us can actually look into issues.
So please, if something doesn't work AND we are not aware of it yet, post it to the bug list (not here!) and attach a link to a log that you uploaded, e.g. to a service like hastebin.com.

I've tweaked for more performance right now, but you can use 11-05 to get old CPU freqs. Also, please help hunt down what is draining the battery, it's most likely too many held wakelocks, but it could be any number of things.

Update 2018-11-16
Some new developments are happening.
Oem binaries version 3 are out. This should give improved power management. The SODP team has also worked on getting audio handling during calls to work. A big thanks to oshmoun for his work on the audio manager. This change was introduced on the 11-15 build. The issue of no call audio when a bluetooth headset is connected is still present as of now.
Changed IRQ handling (PR by Angelo/"kholk"). This should give better battery life and maybe faster wakeup from deep sleep. But could also lead to instabilities and crashes. Send logs & pstore, see post #2. This change was introduced on the 11-15 build.
Testing kernel 4.9.137 i in progress (we are currently on .103). This means stability and security enhancements from upstream linux. Thanks to Nathan Chance who opened this pull request..
But some of those upstream changes might be incompatible with our Sony kernel, so we have to test that. Send logs & pstore, see post #2. This change was introduced in the 11-16 build. If the 11-15 and 11-16 builds are unstable, revert to an older one. But please be brave and run them for at least a day to get us logs of potential crashes.

I am always confused about "flash latest stock ftf" part about roms as a newbie.. if we flash sony's ftf how can we flash rom ? isnt it overwrite ?

Your phone software is made up of many layers. The ROMs like omni or this AOSP-based one only modify your /system and /boot partitions.
But when you update your stock firmware via flashtool, you also update your phone modem firmware, your qnovo charging controller firmware, your lower-level bootloaders etc. That is why we instruct you to update to the latest stock firmware. You could theoretically skip flashing /system in flashtool(because it will get overwritten anyway, as you've already discovered) and directly flash a custom ROM afterwards.
When you're coming from omni, there is no need to flash stock firmware again in between, because your other partitions stay the same. Just a new /oem is needed.

Again, please keep this thread about development for AOSP. The omni builds are not meant for you.
If you have trouble installing then simply don't use it.
DO NOT POST HERE FOR HELP OR YOU WILL BE REPORTED. Read everything before posting.​
If you have questions, ask them in this thread: AOSP 9.0 Pie builds for F8331/F8332​
The OP has requested that you do not post questions in this thread, please use the thread he states in the OP to do that.

Thanks
Thread cleaned
General update
Newer builds will have selinux set to "enforcing". Most denials should have been fixed or are irrelevant. If you encounter any problems, selinux-related or anything else, please report them to the Sony bugtracker or - even better - submit a pull request to the selinux-policy repo.
Update 1: vendor blobs aren't binderized correctly atm, so no network. You can set selinux back to permissive to fix most issues atm.
The Wi-Fi hotspot has been fixed thanks to oshmoun. In newer builds, it should be using less battery.
Next thing we're going to tackle is deep sleep and battery drain. Big pain point and one of the last blockers, apart from the camera and bluetooth in-call audio.
You might have noticed that the omnirom device trees have been updated to 9.0. Nightly testing builds work fine, but they have the same issues as the AOSP-based ones.
Work is also under way to get a Pie-based TWRP recovery stable, with support for FDE encryption(this means that you will be able to back up your encrypted installations). Mounting /userdata works, but the builds are not ready for public release yet.
Update
New build up (2018-12-08)
Camera key works
Update to December security patch(12-05, r21)
Fingerprint should not crash device on enrollment any more
Allow setting lower minimum brightness
Double-tap-to-wake off by default(but can be enabled)
Plugging in charger with screen off should be fixed
Once again, I invite anyone who would like to help out or just learn a bit about building and tweaking to take a look at the sources posted here.
There will be a guide on how to build only the kernel and experiment with a custom boot.img shortly.
The build guide on sx.ix5.org for reproducing these AOSP builds should bring you up to speed, and if you need help building or just want to chat, the telegram group in post #1 is open to you.

Great job.
I already built a custom Pie kernel about a week ago to gain better performance but the charging bug was driving me insane :crying:
I guess now's the time to go back to the mighty Pie and try building a nice and hopefully stable Marrow Kernel.
Cheers
Finally a new build is out!
I can't pass safety net on latest build.
Any ideas what should I use ?
Since modules for spoofing fingerprint simply don't work.
I tried universal safety net fix but with no avail.
V 12.15
Charging working fine. But i have problem with camera, photos are very dark.
Sometimes touch screen not working and i need to switch the screen and on again.

I tried it works fine but the camera sucks and the sound is bad, the screen opening with double tap is running slow, the charge is a little quick
