CyanogenMod 13 for the Sony Xperia Z5 E6653 and E6603
CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), which is designed to increase
performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be
used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps).
CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
Before you start
This ROM is only for the E6653 and the E6603
Code:
*
* Your warranty may be voided !
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*

(Known) Issues
Video Recording
Bluetooth (keeps restarting) (might be fixed, needs feedback + testing)
Camera Colors (can be circumvented by using specific apps CameraNext Mod )
Camera Focus & Sharpness (driver issue, probably since it uses Xperia Z (original) drivers but different lenses ?)
Camera lowlight pictures (might improve with release of Sony's "Experimental AOSP Camera" for the Z5 series, porting of other Framework + Stock Cam app; partially needs DRM magic)
Camera Focus (even with VCM2 actuator changes focus is still kind of murky)
Fingerprint sensor (might work depending on build date of ROM)
Lag after booting up device (Will resolve: lock screen after boot and waiting a few seconds)
Long bootup times & less smoothness with "stock" (prebuilt) kernel
What can not be fixed, changed - aka WONTFIX - NOTOURPROBLEM
There might be potential speed issues with Class 10+ microSD cards not properly being "tuned", in that case switch to slower cards or RMA it which should hopefully solve it. There is a possibility to force slower speeds on cards but that is not really the optimal solution with ultra speed cards and needs further investigation. Samsung (EVO/EVO+) cards, Transcend cards and a few others UHS-I(+) and faster are affected.
What has been Fixed
Horizontal color lines and color glitches during bootup
Gapps
Sudden Lag after some time
NFC
Odd calling numbers
In-call mic
Sound on calls
Camera button
Microphone
Thermal regulation
Red flashy frames
RIL (SIM detection)
Dex pre-optimization
Camera
Sensors
Crash after locking device
microSD access
Flash light / Torch
Full brightness (should be fully working)
Gapps (permissions issues) [occurs occasionally and should be circumvented by full-wipe approach (incl. internal storage)
Hang/Loop during boot stage (should be circumvented by full-wipe approach (incl. internal storage)) (use Custom Kernel, under investigation)
High battery drain [~ 10%-20% per hour] when dirty-flashing system (fastboot -S 256M flash system system.img), make sure to have data backed up, then format /data ; OTA updates should be fine though [need feedback] ); causes are: dirty flashing, certain apps, ROM issues, etc.

How to install CM 13
Above all - do a Backup of ALL your data
When I write ALL I mean ALL (this includes the data on your micro SD card,
don't come whining to me if you lose your wedding photos/videos, kids' photos/videos or other important stuff !
For optimal experience I'd recommend my built custom kernel (quicker boot times, higher reliability, more tweakability)
General, in-depth instructions
Download one of the newer Z5 AndroPlusKernels v20+ by @AndroPlus from his official website (Scroll down and select Z5, then on AndroidFileHost search for Z5_AndroPlusKernel_Permissive_v2 (v20 - v23) and download it)
Extract the flashable zip-file e.g. Z5_AndroPlusKernel_Permissive_v23.zip
Download our TWRP 3.0.1-0 build for the Z5)
Download the appropriate gapps from below (Can be downloaded on your device)
Download the CM 13 Zip for the Z5 from below (Can be downloaded on your device)
Move the GAPPS zip and the CM 13 to your Z5 if you haven't downloaded them on your device
Power Off your Z5 and wait about 10-15 seconds to make sure it's off
To enter fastboot mode hold VOL UP and while holding VOL UP connect your device to your pc via cable
When the notification LED has turned blue you are in fastboot mode
On your PC flash the boot.img that has been extracted from the Z5_AndroPlusKernel_Permissive_v23.zip using fastboot (
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
)
Now flash twrp-3.0.1-0-E6653-20160403.img by using fastboot (
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.1-0-E6653-20160403.img
)
Once both of those images have been flashed you can reboot the device like so:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Quickly pull the usb cable from the computer (you can leave the other end in the phone's port)
When booting up wait for the notification light to turn yellow at the Sony logo
Once it has turned yellow, you will enter TWRP by pressing VOL UP (or VOL DOWN - up works more reliably)
If you've missed the step above, reboot your device and try the step above again
Alternatively you can force turn off the device via: Power Button + Volume Up , then turn it on again via Power Button
If TWRP asks you to enable read and write, swipe to continue
Go to settings and lower the max brightness to the minimum or one of the lower levels to preserve energy
In TWRP make a full backup to the microSD in case you want to revert back to stock.
After it has finished, in this case Reboot -> System.
Copy over the TWRP folder from the external microSD to your computer (reason: you might not have access to your external SD or have to reformat it
Thank Microsoft, Sony, etc. for that: "Stock" ROM uses texfat , AOSP, CM, etc. uses exfat, ext4, ntfs
The files on the microSD might get corrupted (filesystem problem) or the microSD going crazy (I already had both cases)
Now Power on your phone and follow the steps again to get into TWRP
Swipe to continue (?)
select Wipe > Advanced Wipe
Now ONLY tick Dalvik/ART cache, System, Cache and Data
WARNING! THE NEXT STEP WILL WIPE YOUR SYSTEM AND DATA, MEANING YOU WILL DELETE YOUR STOCK SONY SYSTEM AND ALL YOUR APPS
(You already DID a Backup of your files so nothing to worry about)
Once you've ticked the correct boxes, swipe to wipe
Once the wipe is complete, return to the main menu and select Install
Locate and select your CM 13 Zip
Select "Add more Zips" and add your GAPPS package and finally swipe to install
Once the installation succeeded you can select "Reboot System"
Wait for CM 13 to boot up (Can take several minutes)
Enjoy CM13
OPTIONAL: You can remove your TWRP backup that is located in the TWRP folder if you feel like you will no longer need it
How to ROOT
In CM 13, enable the developer options
Select Root access
Select Apps Only (Or Apps and ADB if you use ADB)
Done
How to disable the Thermal Manager
Before we start I want to set a few questions and warnings. Disabling the thermal manager will cause you device to run slightly hotter, do this at your own risk.
Let's start out with why you would want to disable the thermal manager. At this point it's not recommended to disable the thermal manager as it has been fixed. However some people still want the max performance out of their device. The average heat without the thermal manager will be roughly the same, if not less compared to the stock ROM with it's thermal manager enabled.
So why is the thermal manager even included if it the device runs mostly fine without it. As most of you already know, the Snapdragon 810 (MSM8994) has overheating problems. The first CM boot after flash is responsible for optimizing apps and android and can become extremely resource hungry at that point. Due to that, the device can heat tremendously! Not only can that cause a panic reboot but it can also damage your device in rare cases. To avoid that issue a thermal manager shrinks down process and slowers the boot animation (That's why the CM logo may lag at first boot).
Enough said, let's get going..
To disable the thermal manager you must do the following :
First enable root access (See "How to ROOT" guide)
Open the CM file manager
Go to settings > General Settings > Access Mode
Select root acess mode
Go back to the file manager
Swipe from left to right or press the menu button in the upper left corner
Select Root folder
Open the folder/directory called etc
Delete thermanger.xml
Reboot
Done
How return back to stock via TWRP backup
Reboot your device
Wait for the notification light to turn purple at the Sony logo
Once it has turned purple, you will enter TWRP by pressing VOL UP or VOL DOWN
If you've missed the step above reboot and try again
If TWRP will ask you to enable read and write, swipe to continue
In TWRP select restore and select your backup, then swipe to restore
Once the restore is done you can select "Reboot System"
If your device hangs at the Sony wave boot animation, force shut down and power your device up again.

Finally get there....
Great job man!
Hope there will be dual sim support asap.

Nice jobe, I'll wait for a more stable version to test it
keep up the good work
best regards.

Well done again to Sony Kitakami Developer Organization!
Sooooo much time and effort represented in those CM13 github projects. Total Respect.

Uploaded new img files and a flashable zip-file for TWRP (haven't tried it out myself, currently evaluating Resurrection Remix)
Sorry for the inconvenience so far
Give it a try, if you dare

Okay, so I followed the steps for "General installation", and the rom is surprisingly smooth. The only issue I've noticed that isn't addressed in the original post is that vibration intensity is WAY higher than in the stock rom. Like it's actually pretty loud. I know it's a minor issue compared to some of the other things, but I'm just throwing that out there. I'll point out anything else I find.

Absolute legend! Thanks man. I'll get to testing once i get home off this drilling rig

Actually it already was higher on AOSP, if recall correctly, but I'll ask the other devs if they noticed something out of the ordinary

That partially is caused by the "stock" built kernel,
you can see whether is improved by flashing my custom kernel.
One observation (according to @moonbutt74 afaik) led to the conclusion that the upstream (from sonyxperiadev) setting of coherent_pool=8M doesn't match with Sony's ("Stock ROM") setting of coherent_pool=2M,
and does no good for startup time (and reliability ?).
Another factor (like in most AOSP-based ROMs, Kernels) is that the kernel was built with a less tuned toolchain (gcc),
can't directly explain though why does leads to exactly that behavior.
Tl;dr:
Give the custom kernel a try - the "stock" kernel should work but for some reason sometimes it does not
custom has exfat + ntfs support to make microSDs work reliably and other things
Thanks

How to install:
You must update recovery with this one - TWRP 2.8.6.0 or this one Philz Touch 6.59.0 - ClockWorkMod 6.0.5.1- these two have SELinux support. Philz and CWM do not have support for F2Fs!
Install the recovery trough fastboot
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Reboot to recovery from fastboot
- make a backup of your current ROM to SDCard
- wipe -> do a factory reset
- wipe -> advanced wipe -> select only system and wipe
- install zips (rom and gapps)
- reboot to bootloader
if you are updating from previous CM11, you can dirty flash -> just wipe /system in Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, and install rom and gapps. No guarantees here.
Install boot image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
install boot.img that is inside the ROM that you downloaded
do not do fastboot erase cache
As of RC5, ROM now supports both EXT4 and F2FS in a same installation, and there is an easy way to switch back and forth between full EXT4 and F2FS setup, or any partition layout you would like (why would someone want this, I do not know, but the option is there).
Switching to F2FS from EXT4:
- You must install TWRP 2.8.6.0 with F2FS support.
- install RC5 and gapps (optionally), flash boot.img and restart. Check that the ROM is working properly. Activate advanced reboot in developer options. Reboot to recovery.
- backup - make a nandroid backup of system, data and cache.
- wipe, advanced wipe - select system - change or repair file system - choose F2FS. Repeat this for data and cache.
- settings -> Check use rm -rf instead of format.
- restore -> this will restore your data to existing partitions without format.
- settings -> Uncheck use rm -rf instead of format.
- reboot

How to build:
Up to date sources on github. (one patch for legacyMod frameworks_av is missing, will update device tree soon)
1. Follow instructions on initializing a build environment up to a point of downloading the source code.
2. Initialize CyanogenMod 11 repo.
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0
3. Add local manifest that downloads HTC Desire C device config, properties and kernel source from my github and few CM replacement projects from legaCyMod github.
Code:
curl --create-dirs -L -o .repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml -O -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/high1/android_local_manifest/cm-11.0/local_manifest.xml
4. Sync source code.
Code:
repo sync
5. Update prebuilts
Code:
cd path-to/cm11/vendor/cm/
./get-prebuilts
6. Apply patches
Code:
path-to/cm11/device/htc/golfu/patches./apply.sh
7. Compile.
Code:
cd path-to/cm11/
. build/envsetup.sh
brunch cm_golfu-userdebug -jx
(x is number of your processor cores -+1)
'repo sync' to pull merged changes from upstream.
'make clobber' to clean the build environment.
Repeat step 7 to make a new build.
FAQ:
Q: I can't find developer options and performance settings, why?
A: Settings -> About phone -> Click 'Build number' several times
Q: I don't have reboot options in power menu, why?
A: Settings -> Developer options -> Advanced reboot
Q: Is ART runtime working?
A: Yes it is. Beware, it is not compatible with xposed framework.
Q: How to make fastboot and adb work with Windows 8.1? (Device enumeration failed error)
A: First, make sure you have this update installed - http://www.microsoft.com/en-pk/download/details.aspx?id=43515 . Unzip http://goo.gl/CAXglZ and merge it to your registry. HTC drivers must be installed, compatible with Windows 8.1 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714921

This all would not be possible without help - I looked up alot to KonstaT that makes CyanogenMod for ZTE Blade III, and a lof of this post is taken from his way of posting. KirmaniArslan helped to solve quite a few quirks, and posted patches actively, and started the development - his device tree was made bootable.
I expect logcats from all who will do testing, and hopefully we can fix the remaining bugs and let this device have fully working Cyanogenmod (Omni, Pacman, AOKP hopefully later). Also, with the release, you have full permission to use the source to build other ROMs, only requirement is that if you find a fix, you do a pull request at Github.
Regards, and enjoy the ROM as much as you can.

So. As for me.
Adb doesnt work at first boot, so i can't get logcat. All logs what i have - TWRP log.
Cyclic reboot. It works for 2-3 sec and reboots. ANd i cant even look at settings or enable debugging. 2sec and reboot. One thing i'm shure its not from overheating =(
upd:
ok... boot in safe mode gives me 2 extra seconds.. and... there is no developers menu. it is locked. and i cant unlock it.
upd2: nope. i definitely can't attach rom Log and Ksmg.

Try the boot.img inside the ROM then. But it should not behave like that. Wipe the system along with the factory reset.

I'm having problems with TWRP v 2.8.0.0 recovery. I was using clokwork before and after flashing my log gets spammed with couldn't mount emmc. Adding full log
Adding link to pastebin, because for some strange reason I got error in forum that file was invalid
http://pastebin.com/iRgFm13z
Sorted out this issue, but rom seems to be stuck on bootloop.
Added logcat

Could you try image packaged with the ROM? Seems that I must leave HTC Performance boot lock, as a lot of phones crash.

Ok. For me "How to install" must looks like:
1. Install the recovery trough fastboot
2. Reboot to recovery from fastboot
3. install zip
4. reboot to bootloader
5. Install boot image
6. reboot
Mb is is caused by S-OFF, but I rly need to flash kernel only after flashing zip. Work with "normal" kernel.
Upd1: Does ART works? Cause it looks like it works.
Upd2: OMG ART rly works. Can't belive it =)

Flashing the ROM does not affect boot partition, because of S-OFF. Order of instalation (boot image first) should not affect booting. I enabled zRAM kitkat style in latest build, as you requested - we are compliant with Google recommendations for low RAM devices now. I forgot to say, yes but ART is working without any problems, as long as apps work with it.

ART it's rly cool surprise =) Nice =)
As for S-OFF, i rly think u cant make changes with boot if u phone is S-ON. When u swith it to S-OFF u can make changes from recovery. Any way i have no other explanation, why order is important for me. i'll try to test it =)
UPD: is there any trick in win8 for adb? cause for me adb works only from my linux laptop.

Yes, there is. Import this in your registry - you must have a patch with workaround installed, http://www.microsoft.com/en-pk/download/details.aspx?id=43515
extract reg file from attached zip and merge it to your registry.

I'm having problems with USB mass storage. First time when I click to turn it on, it unmounts sd card, but I'm not able to access sd-card file on PC. Second time I click loading loops forever.
Have anyone encountered similar problems?

It's ums file setting, looks like it. I chose MTP as default, as mass storage requires mounting, unmounting etc... Will be fixed in the next build. Thx.

Be aware that improper usage of kernel features can cause serious damage to your device!
Only use the stuff above if you know what you're doing!
In agreement with the GPL, you can find the sources and defconfig used to compile this kernel right here.
Known Issues:
Please keep in mind that CM12.1 sources are still work in progress. As a result, some features may be broken or only partially working.
That's why I decided to only list device-specific issues below.
Below ~60% battery, the displayed battery level will reduce significantly on rebooting. This is a known issue with all AOSP based ROMs.
After switching to a new battery, I noticed this behavior is related to automatic battery calibration and directly affected by the health of your phone's battery.
Disclaimer:
By downloading and installing this ROM, you agree that I cannot be held responsible for any damage caused to your device while installing or using it. Please keep in mind that it's YOU who chose to do these modifications to your device!
Installation:
Make sure your bootloader is unlocked - if not, follow this guide: Link
First installation? Flash the boot.img from ROM zip via Flashtool (use Fastboot mode!)

FAQ:
How to update to latest build?
1. Reboot to recovery
2. Flash latest rom zip
3. Flash latest gapps linked in OP
4. Flash SuperSU
5. Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache
6. Reboot
How to safely uninstall this rom?
1. If you were using F2FS, revert to EXT4 before uninstalling!
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Flash neo-uninstall.zip
4. Proceed with the installation steps of your new rom
Should you face storage issues with your new rom, run the following Terminal commands:
Code:
su
chmod 777 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
chown 2800:2800 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
chown -R 2800:2800 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
Troubleshooting:
I can't create folders in internal storage!
Follow the instructions on updating to latest build. While flashing, my rom will apply its required storage permissions automatically.
Alternatively, you may simply run the following Terminal commands:
Code:
su
chmod 777 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
chown 1023:1023 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
chown -R 1023:1023 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
Camera any Gallery won't save my photos!
Follow the instructions on updating to latest build. While flashing, my rom will apply its required storage permissions automatically.
Alternatively, you may simply run the following Terminal commands:
Code:
su
chmod 777 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
chown 1023:1023 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
chown -R 1023:1023 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
I can't move apps to sdcard!
Moving apps to internal storage is quite buggy and discouraged. I recommend repartitioning your device with the instructions below.
Advanced Modifications:
Switching to F2FS:
First of all, make sure you're running homebuild version 20150215 or later!
1. Copy all important files from internal storage to the external sdcard
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Do a full backup (make sure to select external sdcard as target location)
4. Disable MTP in "Mount" menu
5. Go to "Wipe" > "Advanced Wipe" menu
6. Check "System", then tap "FS Options" and "Change FS"
7. Select "F2FS", then swipe to apply the change
8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for "Data" and "Cache" partitions, as well as internal storage
9. Navigate to TWRP Settings and check "Use rm -rf instead of formatting"
10. Restore your previous backup
12. Reboot to system
13. Restore your copied files from external sdcard
14. Reboot
Reverting to EXT4:
1. Copy all important files from internal storage to the external sdcard
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Do a full backup (make sure to select external sdcard as target location)
4. Disable MTP in "Mount" menu
5. Go to "Wipe" > "Advanced Wipe" menu
6. Check "System", then tap "FS Options" and "Change FS"
7. Select "EXT4", then swipe to apply the change
8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for "Data" and "Cache" partitions, as well as internal storage
9. Navigate to TWRP Settings and check "Use rm -rf instead of formatting"
10. Restore your previous backup
12. Reboot to system
13. Restore your copied files from external sdcard
14. Reboot
Repartitioning your device:
Note:
Up to 14GB of free space on external sdcard might be required to perform the steps below! (Should be less if your internal storage isn't completely bloated )
The value XXXX used below has to be replaced with a calculated number and varies depending on your desired space. I recommend 5120, as it's a decent balance between general data storage (used for most apps) and space on internal storage for apps with bigger data (games). Refer to step 13 of this link if you want to calculate your own partition sizes.
1. Copy all important files from internal storage to the external sdcard with the following terminal command:
Code:
rsync -P -a /sdcard /ext_card/sdcard0/
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Do a full backup (make sure to select external sdcard as target location)
4. Navigate to "Mount" menu, disable MTP and unmount all partitions listed there
5. Navigate to "Advanced" > "Terminal Command" and type the following code:
Code:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print
This command should display some text like this:
Code:
Model: MMC M8G2FB (sd/mmc)
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 7818MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 131kB 2228kB 2097kB TA
2 2228kB 3801kB 1573kB Boot

6 29.4MB 32.5MB 3146kB modemst1
7 33.6MB 36.7MB 3146kB modemst2
8 37.7MB 40.9MB 3146kB fsg
9 40.9MB 46.1MB 5243kB ramdump
10 46.1MB 54.5MB 8389kB ext4 apps_log
11 54.5MB 71.3MB 16.8MB FOTAKernel
12 71.3MB 1359MB 1288MB System
13 1359MB 1621MB 262MB Cache
14 1621MB 3769MB 2147MB Userdata
15 3769MB 7818MB 4050MB SDCard
We're going to remove Userdata and SDCard partitions, so check if these partitions also have the numbers 14 and 15 on your phone.
6. Type the following terminal commands to proceed with resizing the partitions:
Code:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 14
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 15
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpartfs logical ext2 1621 [B]XXXX[/B]
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 name 14 Userdata
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpartfs logical ext2 [B]XXXX[/B] 7818
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 name 15 SDCard
7. Leave the terminal screen and go to "Wipe" > "Advanced Wipe" menu
8. Check "Data", then tap "FS Options" and "Change FS"
9. Select "EXT4" or "F2FS", then swipe to apply the change
10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 for internal storage (is named "sdcard" in this menu)
11. Restore your previous backup
12. Restore your backed-up files from external sdcard with the following terminal command:
Code:
cp -a /external_sd/sdcard0/* /sdcard/
13. Reboot
14. Enter the following terminal commands to fix storage permissions:
Code:
su
chmod 777 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
chown 1023:1023 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
chown -R 1023:1023 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0

By the way, rom is online.

With the whole "no working recovery included", does it mean that we cant flash one to FOTAkernel afterwards?
By the way, you are a freaking champion for releasing this ROM, and thanks for all the work you put into making our phones better

Just doing what I can.
However, I gotta mention that I would never have come that far without @updateing.
Once more huge thanks for your help!
FOTA recovery should work, as the phone boots properly into recovery. You may give this a shot, I remember having seen a FOTA TWRP version by championswimmer in Cross Device Forum. :good:
The problem is that the recovery is not CWM anymore. CyanogenMod team is developing their own recovery at the moment. And that one doesn't work (yet)

Download complete. Gapps server was really slow. For me it took 13 minutes to download only Gapps. Now I'm doing a full nandroid backup.
Edit 1 : Booted. WiFi, Bluetooth and Cellular works fine. I'll report more soon
Edit 2 : Report after 40 minutes of use : Fully stable. Other stuff including camera and root access work completely fine. I just had 1 setting FC at first. This ROM is smooth enough (not as much as expected Lool)
These are all of bugs I found :
1. Setting - bluetooth menu - when searching, that circle animation has some problems
2. Setting - Wireless & networks - More - Cellular networks - Carrier settings makes "com.android.phone" FC. (Maybe it's carrier related )
3. The most important bug I've found (not for me, but it can be a disaster for some others ) is Notification/Battery LED does not work at all.
By the way, I have functional CM Recovery. I was able to boot into recovery by selecting reboot recovery power menu. CM Recovery appeared. Even touch is working fine but there is no backup/restore related option.There was just apply update from zip and reboot.
After all, really thanks for your work it's awesome, as always

I think the carrier settings fc and led stuff is device related. Will try to fix it in next build. :good:
Booting in recovery works fine, but flashing does not work.
I'm sure CM team will fix this soon.

Installed in the morning.
Had no crushes yet, no bugs in animation that I`ve seen. However, power consumption is dramatically high compared to stock 4.3 JB. Most time processor runs at 1.5ghz.

Hi
It's my first time to post something so I don't know if I'm doing it right
So
First of all thank you for the ROM and the great work keep it up :good:
Second I found some other bugs Dunno if it's apps releated or something in the ROM itself
1. Gestures keyboard doesn't work
2. Google Play services keep asking to update it "and it's up to date"
3. Tap and hold doesnt work "quick toggles" in notification centre. and is it CM feature ?
An other question
When A new release is out can I flash CM11 kernel to flash the new release since I flashed it using CWM I was on CM11
P.S I didnt wipe data or system wipe just backed up the old ROM and flashed this one didn't want to re-install all apps etc..

Very good looking rom. Flashing right now, got first bootloop....because i flashed cm12 kernel. That was my fault. Now im already setting my device up.
Looks like LTE aslo working.
Any good ideas how to make navibar smaller? Xposed wont work with 5.0 as i know.

Bugs 1 and 3 are related to CM sources. Number two is most likely caused by your dirty installation. (Which I don't recommend, by the way)
Thats the plan.. Until CM recovery works we gotta fastboot NeoKernel and flash the update from its included recovery. :good:

In agreement with the GPL, you can find the sources and defconfig used to compile this kernel right here.
Known Issues:
Please keep in mind that CM12.1 sources are still work in progress. As a result, some features may be broken or only partially working.
That's why I decided to only list device-specific issues below.
Below ~60% battery, the displayed battery level will reduce significantly on rebooting. This is a known issue with all AOSP based ROMs.
After switching to a new battery, I noticed this behavior is related to automatic battery calibration and directly affected by the health of your phone's battery.
Disclaimer:
By downloading and installing this ROM, you agree that I cannot be held responsible for any damage caused to your device while installing or using it. Please keep in mind that it's YOU who chose to do these modifications to your device!

Working good so far, it's got the extra settings/customization that the only other build for TX lacks. No problems so far with bootloops, data restore, etc. except for the issue I think was already mentioned in the T thread, in which TWRP doesn't reboot and hangs if you press the "reboot" button too soon.

Look here.
https://www.google.de/search?btnG=1&pws=0&q=xperia+apps+cm12.1+site:forum.xda-developers.com
Camera button stuff is one of the features that have to be added in upstream sources first.

1 problem by this device is low storage for app installing
this device have 16Gig Storage
but we can install 2Gig app!
if you can Increase this storage many of problems was solved
(for example my galaxy tab have 16gig storage and i can install 16gig app on my device)
thank you

Hi. Got to hand the phone. I want to upgrade to the current release. Can I rolled forward as an upgrade, or better to install as the installation for the first time? Or enough to make a backup and then to roll back? (exactly what to back up that it include?)
sorry for my bad english.

Check the instructions in third post
You can always do a backup before updating, but I test the builds before upload, so a bootloop or other issues are quite unlikely.

[DEV] Kernel 4.4 & Android 8.0 Oreo

Kernel v4.4
and
Android Open Source Project 8.0

for
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
(p4wifi / GT-P7510)

}

I have ported this device to Android Linux kernel v4.4. This is the official Android kernel for Oreo. This ROM requires a completely new kernel and recovery. Read everything before use.

Recovery - TWRP BigSys
TWRP BigSys will use a different partition layout in order to have a larger system partition size.
Flashing TWRP-Bigsys with odin/heimdall will overwrite the cache partition. Format the cache partition it in recovery after flashing with odin/heimdall.
Partition layout:
Code:
Before:
[ system (578MB) | cache (448MB) | data (16GB/32GB) | hidden / preload (300MB) ]
After:
[ system (1026MB) | data (16GB/32GB) | recovery extra (16MB) | cache (284MB) ]
TWRP BigSys is not compatible with any ROM before Oreo.
BigSys partitioning is based on BigPart for Motorola Xoom.
Kernel - Linux v4.4
This is based on the official Android common kernel. The drivers and platform specific parts ported from the original 3.1.10 kernel.
Working
Code:
Tegra 2 platform
Downstream video/avp
Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling
USB (ConfigFS)
- no host mode
Voltage Regulators / Battery / Charger
tps6586x
stmpe811

Misc
Samsung misc partition. (Stores reboot mode and proprietary control bits)
Samsung LPM (off mode charging)
Will not work
Code:
3G/Cellular modem

tegra usb phy hsic
- No mainline kernel driver for this USB interface
Cameras / Flash
s5k5ccgx
s5k5bbgx
- Incompatible camera stack
HDMI
sii9234
Samsung 30-pin connector
keyboard dock, dongles, accessories
Functional differences
Code:
Enable force usb charging at kernel boot (rather than android init).
Add haptic vibration strength.
ROM - Android 8.0 Oreo
The ROM is AOSP based.
It is one ROM and recovery for p4wifi (GT-P7510), p4 (GT-P7500), and p4tmo (SGH-T859) since 3G/cellular will not work in the kernel. There is no difference between the two devices other than the cellular modem.
Customizations:
Advanced reboot menu
NEON emulation
Apollo music app
Working / Not working:
See the list under the kernel section.

- Workaround: Turn off wifi. Turn on wifi.
[*]Battery drain in power off:
- Device is not actually powering off.
- Low reproducabiliy.
- Possible causes:
- tps6586x regulator does not power off (due to i2c transfer errors).
- Hard lock up when CPU1 is offline and wifi sdio bus is on.
- host1x syncpt stuck. - test1:
- Proper power off: Press power button for 2 seconds to power on.
- Improper power off: Press power button for 8 seconds to power on. - test2: Reboot to recovery hangs after OS shutdown instead of rebooting to recover.
Other known issues:
Android OS stuck at boot logo:
- Cause 1: The HIDL HALs not starting properly
- Cause 2: System services die and loop forever
- Workaround: Reboot device
FAQ
Will X feature work?
- I have ported everything I can to the new kernel. Anything not mentioned is not going to work.
3G / Cellular?
- The Tegra USB driver in mainline kernel does not support the USB interface which connects the modem.
Camera?
- The camera devices are not working on the mainline kernel. The camera blob hasn't worked right since Lollipop anyways.
Can the old 3.1.10 kernel be used on Oreo?
- The old kernel is not working on Oreo.
Can the 4.4 kernel be used on previous ROMs?
- No.
Will this kernel work on Galaxy Tab 8.9?
- No.
How to return to stock partition layout.
Install a non-BigSys TWRP.
Format system and cache partition.
Reboot to TWRP

Add feature to new kernel
Would it be possible to add in the kernel the neccessary things for pelya usb keyboard. Google search for pelya usb keyboard and there is a github with all the code needed to be inserted into the kernel to make the usb keyboard work.

Hi,
this is the log, I'm not sure whether I've done everything correctly..

Can I flash this rom on over the existing 20171005 version? Thanks.

Yes. It is the same ROM. Only the kernel is different.
This not meant for regular use. It only posted in order to get kernel logs and feedback on the issues in the first post. I will not maintain this kernel for regular use.

my panel seems to be the lsi one so I'm afraid my log is rather useless for you?!

Hi @decatf,
Thanks very much for doing this. Attached are the logs. The processor has no problem switching to different clock frequencies.

System was booting fine with 3.18 on my P4, please find the output of cmdline and clk_summary attached.
Kind regards, mistersixt.

I will try to test my tab on weekend

It has an issue rendering text, but nothing a reboot can't fix, aside that it's working fine.
I cann't upload files, so I'll send you a PM with syslogs.
Thanks for your time.

Rom works ok, Xposed bootloops, screen turns on and off.
I can OC CPU to 1,5GHz with no problem.

Updated first posted with Oreo ROM, kernel, and recovery.
Nobody sent any logs with the CMC623F panel so that remains untested.

Hi decatf. I tried testing the kernel when you first posted it but I couldn't get past boot loops. After restoring a nandroid back up, I follwed thw instructions for a clean install with the following esult:
Backup all data to a location off the device.
Install and boot into TWRP BigSys
Format system partition
- Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Check "System" > Swipe to Wipe
Reboot to TWRP BigSys
Install ROM
- (optional) Install GApps
- (optional) Install root
E1001: Failed to update system image.
Updater process ended with ERROR:7

Your device has a different eMMC chip and partition locations than my device. I had not expected this. The BigSys partitioning is only coded to work when it sees the expected partition layout to convert.
It only means that I need to write some code to handle whatever different eMMC chips there are. So you'll have to wait for now until that's done.

OK, cool. Thanks very much decatf. :good:

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

Important
If you are using this ROM first time, wipe data. Wipe data completely. I mean the option where you need to enter "yes". Use this option and then flash the rom.
This ROM only works with the TWRP I added.
If you want to use GAPPS, flash it directly after flashing ROM. Don't let the ROM boot. Otherwise your device will not get certification, so you will not have Google Access.
Instructions (thx @matshias, just changed few lines to get ROM flashing working)
Put your ROM (and GApps) onto your sdcard (sdcard must be exfat or fat32, NTFS not supported)
Install fastboot and adb on your PC, e.g. from here
Enable developer options and in there select to unlock your bootloader by enabling OEM unlock and enable USB debugging
Connect your PC to your tablet and run
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
using adb on command line. The tablet will reboot into bootloader mode where you will only see the Lenovo logo. Now you use
Code:
fastboot oem unlock-go
to unlock. This will factory reset your device
Don't setup, cause you will need to format your tablet later again. Shutdown tablet. Hold volume up and power button to start to bootloader
Then run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-<your-filename>.img
to flash TWRP
Select with volume buttons "Recovery Mode" and press power button
Select to write to system, otherwise you can't flash ROM
Backup at least system and boot partitions to your sdcard cause you will wipe data in next step. Choose "System Image" for the system partition backup.
Format data using this tutorial
Flash ROM
Optionally flash SuperSU or Magisk in TWRP which should install system less. Keep OEM unlock enabled if you flash or modify anything

Mounting system rw
This is impossible on our tablet. The bootloader enforces verity check, which causes this issue.
The only possibility is to modify bootloader, what is dangerous and requires good knowledge.
there is a workaround using magisk with a mod. which mounts your system rw on mount:

Yener, you're amazing. Thanks to you we are on the current Android version. Installation ran without problems. I was so free to attach some screenshots.
What I noticed so far:
- I can confirm the list of things that are working and things that are broken.
- Significantly newer kernel (3.18.138) than LineageOS 15.1 (3.18.115) and of course Nougat (3.18.31).
- Magisk 18.1 works fine (had problems with it under LOS 15.1)
- Waking up the device by pressing the power button or using the fingerprint sensor takes an unusually long time (3-4 seconds). I caught myself several times pressing the button again.
Will you offer a new TWRP 3.3.0?

Wiil be fixed tomorrow release. It has the same bugs like the little older brother:
Fixed reboot to recovery and bootloader from reboot menu
Fixed long time to wake up screen
Fixed Deep sleep
Also there is an issue with fingerprint. After restart it doesn't work anymore. This will be also fixed.

Okay, thank you very much. I can also confirm the problem with the fingerprint scanner, it occurs not only after a reboot, but also when you switch between two users.

Maybe I can help here: You will get an engineering build if you run lunch lineage_TBX704-eng. If you run lunch lineage_TBX704-userdebug instead, you will get a userdebug build.

ROM

I'm impressed!

Nice update @yener90, thank you very much.
Now, here's a good one, dirty flashed the V9 over your V8 and then flashed Gapps and Magisk19.
All went well and I was impressed with how well the tablet ran and its stability, a few apps needed updating and then I used the tablet for about 2 hours or so, no problems whatsoever.
So I did a backup and rebooted, now the tablet powers off after approx 30secs. or so displaying the 'powering off' notification but instead of actually powering off it reboots to TWRP.
I have wiped Dalvik and cache but to no avail.
I used your TWRP to flash the ROM and use the original TWRP to create the backups/restorations to/from Ext SD . TB-X704V (L)
Any ideas please, as it was running very well prior to doing a backup ?
TIA.

thanks yener
flashed it 5min ago and looking for something not working but so far, it runs nice

Why are you surprised, I understood you had incorporated the 'L' fix into the ROM ?
It's doing my head in, it was running well, had rebooted a few times, intentionally, and all was well.
Make a backup and then the problem appears and I don't have time to do much before it re-boots, unfortunately.

For me it looks like TWRP made some rubbish, which lead to failure on partition.
Normally you would end up in a bootloop. The system wouldn't start.
Use my TWRP then use in TWRP internal file manager.
Go to the location sys/fs/pstore and upload the files here.

Its not broken. There is something wrong.
I need to compare both kernels X704F & X704L and check that issue out.

Hey, just wanted to report i also dirty flashed and it worked without problems, i own the F model. Works great so far, awesome! However i have one little bug (i guess it is one): long pressing an app icon to move it does sometimes not work, nothing happens then. but i have this since the 15.1 version. does anyone also have this?
kind regards

I dirty flashed it over lineage 15, after wiping system and caches. I flashed the gapps after the rom and everything works perfectly so far. No bugs yet or problems with apps and files. Thanks Yener, I had lost all hope of ever seeing this device updated.

hi @Yerner90 installed ROM using the format data method (ie wiped everything), so far everything is working good so thanks again for ROM

@yener90 great job, works a treat and you've fixed the led colours and added screenshot back on. I'm keeping an eye on the battery as it's draining much quicker I think.
