This ROM is discontinued. The successor of CyanogenMod is LineageOS which can be found in the corresponding Thread. The Downloads will be left here for the time being.
Disclaimer: Flash at your own risk! Backup your data before flashing! I am not responsible for bricked devices, World War III or your exploding cats!
Warning: The SGP611 images are not tested, but just built by me, as I do not own the device. But as the two devices are the same except for the 4G Modem, it should work. If not, please let me know.
About:
As my beloved SGP621 was just collecting dust, I decided to try porting Android 7.1 AOSP onto it. That worked well, so I moved on to CM 14.1
And voila, with a few tweaks here and there, it works (for the most part). But this is still considered BETA, so be warned and flash at your own risk.
What works:
- Display
- Sound
- WiFi
- 4G Data
- Bluetooth
- NFC (somewhat flakey)
- LED
- Magnetic Cover Sleep/Wake
- Double-Tap to wake
What doesn't work:
- FM Radio (It works, but only if Bluetooth is off and breaks if BT is on while Radio gets enabled)
- Camera (Taking Pictures works, but sometimes the camera is not able to connect. Taking a video crashes the mediaserver.)
- LiveDisplay is not working correctly
- Performance Profiles cannot be set (CM14.1 issue)
- You tell me
If your battery depletes rapidly, please disable NFC and check if it betters things. Then comment here, so I can look into it.
Flashing Recovery (This only applies if you do not have one already. If you do, go to the Flashing section below):
If you flash for the first time, you first need to download the CM recovery for your device from below.
To flash it, you need to put your tablet into fastboot mode (VolUp + plugging in USB-Cable) and then flash the recovery like this:
Code:
fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery-scorpion.img
If you come from stock or from a ROM that does not support Recovery on the FOTAKernel partition, you also need to fastboot flash the boot image for your device before rebooting into recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot-scorpion.img
Flashing:
If you installed the recovery to the FOTAKernel partition then, while booting, get your device into recovery mode, by hitting VolUp multiple times once the LED flashes purple. Do so until it turns orange. (If you already have another recovery installed, boot into it.)
Now select install from adb sideload and from your computer issue:
Code:
adb sideload cm-14.1-(DATE)-UNOFFICIAL-scorpion(_windy).zip
gapps:
CM14.1 was tested with open gapps for Nougat 7.1 arm (nano confirmed working, others could be problematic)
Tips for better battery life:
I installed Naptime to trigger deep doze as soon as the tablet goes to sleep. I also enabled zzmoove cpu gov and noop scheduler in the kernel options. Because of the high display brightness. This leads to me getting standby battery consumption of around 1.2% per hour (measured with GSam Battery Monitor) which is nearly the same amount I got with stock.

Good work!!! Done it. Works fine until now. Will do more research in the morning. Anyway, there is an issue with Google Play. It says that my device isn't compatible with a lot of apps that I normally use. I flashed multiple variants of 7.1 Gapps. Which one did you use? What about build.prop? Or dpi? No idea. I will get back tomorrow with more feedback. Keep it up!

Please give an example of an app which does not work, so I can test and have a look in the logs. Below solution should fix those problems.
For anyone who wants to fix this without flashing the full fixed version. Please download attached file, enable root for adb and do the following:
Code:
adb push tablet_core_hardware.xml /sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /sdcard/tablet_core_hardware.xml /system/etc/permissions/
chmod 644 /system/etc/tablet_core_hardware.xml
reboot
Your device should reboot then and all the capabilities should be available again.

SGP611 Version is up. Everyone who flashed the build for SGP621 please follow the instructions in my last post or flash the 1.0.1 version. Otherwise some apps from the playstore may not download/work.

I had 3 crashes in 2h, while I was playing Clash of Clans. Always within a minute after waking the tablet from deep sleep. I tried to mimic the situation and get an adb logcat, but it doesn't crash while charging. Because it doesn't sleep. Do you think a logcat installed on the tablet could shed some light? Would that even remain logged after the crash?

There should be logcat apps in the playstore, that save the logs so you can review them afterwards. Could you also please try and disable NFC and see if that resolves the crashes? The only crashes I saw till now were all NFC related.
The NFC setting is just blinking on and off continuously. I'll attach a logcat anyway. There are really a lot of NFC related errorshttp://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5835b760cefb3/Log_2016-11-23_16-29-53.txt

You are amazing!
CM is working great only issue I've noticed so far is that live display isn't working but that's not a serious issue.
Keep up the awesome work:victory:
Update: Ignore this part I just found out its a problem in CM and not with this rom-Another minor bug, after disabling control ringtone volume in settings-buttons the volume keys still control the ringer volume when they should be controlling the media volume.
OMG! I can't beleive that this rom exist for sgp611..Thank you, will try
This CM14.1's battery life is extremely good compared to AOSP.

At the moment I am looking into forwardporting an older version of the NFC lib, as it seems to have worked then. After that I will be examining the charging issue. To be clear, this happens if you USB charge while the device is on and once it reaches 100% the wakelock is kept? Do you use a Sony chagrger? Do you charge via USB or via Magnetick Dock/Connector?

It doesn't matter which charger I use, at least, apparently. I have a DK39 Sony dock, supplied by Aukey 3.0 Qualcomm fastcharger. All variants have the same result, even laptop USB charging. I didn't use my Sony charger in a while.
Sent from my Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact using Tapatalk
First of all, thank you for your efforts lowtraxx. I still love my Z3 tablet and the splitscreen function is a useful addition to the operating system.
It’s not really an issue with your rom itself, but with Android 7 in general. Google changed the way apps can request access to the external SD card. You could just edit a file in /etc/permission in the past, but that way doesn’t work anymore. I’ve only found a workaround using Xposed, which still hasn’t been ported to Android N.
Is there another way to achieve this? I’d like to keep the SD card as an external one, but I don’t think the ComicRack developer (my main usage for this tablet) will update the app anytime soon.
How may I contribute to get this rom running on top of the SGP-612 model (wifi 32gb)? By the way, many thanks for porting CM-14.1 to the Z3TC. This tablet is worth maintaining.

The only difference between the SGP-612 and SGP-611 is the storage so you could try flashing just system and boot without userdata (wipe internal storage and data in recovery first) or even flashing user data and then doing a factory reset if the wrong amount of available storage is shown (that works for nexus factory images) but I'm not sure if that will work.

This is built for the Xperia Tablet Z with mobile data. If you have a Xperia Tablet Z that has wifi only, please look at this thread.
No support, no warranty, nothing. This is a build I made for myself that I'm sharing to XDA. Development only questions. Normal Q&A go elsewhere. No ETAs. I will ask for any posts that ask about anything mentioned in this post to be deleted (eg. "why is recovery not working")
Working:
- Wifi
- Sound
- Screen brightness
- Touch
- Bluetooth
- Gyroscope
- Camera
- NFC
- Microphone
- Data
- Deep Sleep
Not working:
- Games seem to be slightly unstable and crash if too many things happen
- GPS. Use the high accuracy setting to find location.
- Flashing from sdcard in recovery
Update #1: Data is fixed in 20150113 version. I know the about screen still shows 20150111 as the version, but it's updated.
THIS IS NOT DAILY DRIVER QUALITY. EXPECT THINGS TO BE BROKEN.
Download: cm-12-20150113-UNOFFICIAL-pollux
Flashing the ROM from sdcard does not work. I tested adb sideload and it works. Reboot to recovery and select adb sideload when applying the update. On the computer, navigate to a folder with adb and run "adb sideload <path to zip>". The rest is automagic.
You will also need a gapps package.
Credit goes to FXP and the numerous code authors on review.cyanogenmod.org, whose commits I have cherry picked for this build.

Great work thanks
You note instability on games,,, is it terribly bad or fairly uncommon? Data, Gps and recovery either don't matter or can be worked around, but games are probably 30% of my tab use.
Thanks

Admittedly, I only tested on a very limited selection of games. It seems to crash on Angry Birds Transformers if you tap on too many coins at once, but it seems fine on other games. Noted instability anyway because I can't be sure if it's because of ART or GPU libraries, since this build does use the mako L preview adreno blobs. I also noticed slight frame rate drops on other games, but the games themselves did not crash. Admittedly I don't use my tablet that much for gaming, so I put gaming under not working out of an abundance of caution.
When we can expect that data is working? Tomorrow i try this rom...

Data has been fixed.
Installed now on the new version (don't use data but why not have the latest) and games seem ok at a quick glance. As you same slightly lower framerate probably due to old blobs but no instability so far. Will keep an eye on things.
All else good so far, about 1.5hrs in.

Your ROM identifies itself as a yuga. Either flash a proper pollux ROM, change ro.product.device/ro.build.product to pollux in build.prop or remove the asserts in updater-script. You can also ask the maintainer of the ROM you use (nicely) to fix the build and change ro.product.device/ro.build.product to pollux.
PS. not recommended to mess with asserts in updater-script or change ro.product.device/ro.build.product unless you're 100% sure the tablet you're using is a SGP321. Messing with the asserts to make this flash on anything other than SGP321 may result in bad things happening.

Hi ONYXis, yes adb seems to be working on the new version - "adb devices" responded.

Can you post you donations PayPal link to the first post?
EDIT: Installed it. Bugs will go into the bug report section, but theese things are working for me.
Bluetooth: Iø'm able to connect to my Jabra headsets with easypairing, and get audio. I can turn wifi/bt on and off. Touchscreen runs smoothly and PlayStore is working.
Thank you, ggow!! I am truly excited about this release following a fantastic experience with Nexus v2.0.5. CMxx is great but I prefer something closer to AOSP.
Installed v4.0.1 morning w/o incident. Boots clean and complete with the 'right' options enabled by default. A few quick observations:
- effortless flashing from twrp (I know this isn't rom related but attests to integrity of package)
- fast startup! Didn't think anything could be quicker than Nexus v2 (after exiting bootloader); v4 beats it by a small margin
- smooth, accurate screen response; easily navigated through various settings with no snags
- wifi and bt both enable/disable quickly and reliably. No issues connecting a BT device that required authentication
- observations are with a 'clean' install; might try dirty build later for those interested in a more seamless upgrade
Unfortunately, I am traveling through the weekend with limited 'play time' (d'oh!). Will provide additional feedback in bugs section as needed. Something tells me not much is going to land there.

DOOOH! Sorry about that.. :/
Edit: I have been using the tablet for almost a day now. BT streaming is perfect, there *might* be some issues with AVRCP - but I have not confirmed that yet. DeepSleep is working perfect, it enters deepsleep as expected. Charging via USB depends on the load on the tablet - if load is too much it will not charge. AC doesn't have issues.
..next try to pair with ELM327 dongle and Holux M1200E GPS.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1:
How do I get ROOT access?
Answer:
- Unlock developer options: "Settings" ➜ "About phone" ➜ Tap the build number 7 times
- Go back to "Settings" ➜ "Developer options" ➜ "root access" ➜ choose your desired option
Thank you so much for your and other developers hard work!
Will try this rom and give you a feedback ...
Hi, I wanna give you a quick feedback after 1 hour on the thor rom...
1) after the installation (did a factory reset) it comes with a bluethoot error and the service doesnt work.
I did a restart and switched it on ... off ... on ...off the first and secound time bluethooth seems to work (but did'nt make a link) but after that the service didnt come back.
2) After I switch off the display I have to reboot to get it back. So I only get a blackscreen with backlight.
3) Rotation works well but a few apps rotate in the wrong direction. But this is not a big thing!
4) Batteryusage didnt show apps and the graphic locks buggy
this are my first impressions

- To be honest I developed this on apollo
- Didn't really test much on thor so probably problems in the kernel causing blackscreen for thor
- seems to work flawlessly on apollo
- will look into thor issues before next build
- thanks for the early feedback
- updated op known issues

Thanks!
Excellent work @ggow, I just dirty flashed Apollo version, and must say I am pretty impressed, everything vent smoothly, the only FC I get was from clock app, but that was expected... :good:
Is there any recommended xposed version working with this ROM?
So far I found one small graphic glitch, you can see it on attached picture (you can see only half of the first notification)...
OK that's all for now, going to test how fast this can burn through hdx battery, so far every LP ROM I tested on my phones was really power hungry...
I've tried this ROM.. smooth as hell...
but if I not geting wrong, no LTE...( I am on Apollo)
Is that right? Or I made something wrong...

Does the Apollo support otg? I just plugged my USB otg from my nexus 6, but stick mount says there isn't anything that needs mounted,

- OTG support isn't available at least at the moment.
- Not completely certain what the story is with OTG on Apollo and Thor
- I have seen various comments about this
- Some have said it might be a limitation of the hardware or a limitation imposed from the bootloader.
- Needs investigating to be sure of what can be done.
well xposed for LP actually works

I just had to try it and it's working! :laugh:
So if anyone wants to try xposed for lollipop, go for it (make sure you don't have any "xposed leftovers" from KitKat like me (gravity box i. e.) and uninstall them first)
be sure you did nandroid backup in TWRP before you flash xposed for lollipop in TWRP (yes, framework needs to be flashed)
I used xposed-v73-sdk22-arm.zip
Reboot into ROM and install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
That's it, happy hacking...
YouTube in FullHD
And I don't know what magic @ggow did this time, but we finally have here YouTube app where we can choose 1080p streaming ! Yay! This just made my day!
Or Google finally allowed this for every mobile users in latest YouTube app? Anyone on CM11 or Nexus 4 can check if its there too?
This ROM is no longer maintained. Sadly the last provided zip files got deleted by accident. If anyone can provide them, I will re-upload.
Disclaimer: Flash at your own risk! Backup your data before flashing! I am not responsible for bricked devices, World War III or your exploding cats!
Warning: The SGP611 images are not tested, but just built by me, as I do not own the device. But as the two devices are the same except for the 4G Modem, it should work. If not, please let me know.
About:
As my beloved SGP621 was just collecting dust, I decided to try porting Android 7.1 AOSP onto it.
And voila, with a few tweaks here and there, it works (for the most part).
What works:
- Display
- Sound
- WiFi
- 4G Data
- Bluetooth
- NFC (somewhat flakey, but much better with fixes in V4)
- LED
- Magnetic Cover Sleep/Wake
- WideVine DRM
- Double-Tap to wake
What doesn't work:
- FM Radio (working on it)
- Camera (Taking Pictures works, but sometimes the camera is not able to connect. Taking a video crashes the mediaserver.)
- You tell me
I have used it for the last few weeks. Battery life near optimal now and I had no crashes up until now. If your battery depletes rapidly, please disable NFC and check if it betters things. Then comment here, so I can look into it.
Keeping your data:
If you come from an earlier version of this ROM it should suffice to only flash boot.img and system.img. Coming from Stock or another ROM you could try to not flash userdata and see if it would keep your data, but I think it will not work in most cases.
Flashing:
Flashing userdata it is like doing a wipe. So BACKUP your data! You have been warned!
To flash it, you need to put your tablet into fastboot mode (VolUp + plugging in USB-Cable) and then flash the three image files from the zip file in the provided link like:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
gapps and/or root:
If you want Google Apps and/or root you need to download official twrp for scorpion windy (or inofficial for scorpion) from here and flash it to the FOTAKernel partition with the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash FOTAKernel twrp-3.0.2-0-scorpion_windy.img
After that you can boot into recovery by hitting VolUp multiple times once the LED flashes purple until it turns orange.
From there you are able to flash
- gapps for Nougat 7.1 arm (nano confirmed working, others could be problematic)
- Magisk-V8 and phh-SuperUser (confirmed working)
Tips for better battery life:
I installed Naptime to trigger deep doze as soon as the tablet goes to sleep. I also enabled zzmoove cpu gov and noop scheduler in the kernel options. Because of the high display brightness, I installed Lux Lite, to dim the screen if it is darker. This leads to me getting standby battery consumption of around 1.2% per hour (measured with GSam Battery Monitor) which is nearly the same amount I got with stock.
Changelog:
18.11.2016 - V4:
- Integrated newest Android Patches from Sony and Google.
- New binaries from qcom (camera, sensors, display, ...)
- Custom kernel with additional fixes, FMRadio patches (not working yet) and zen I/O scheduler
- Fixes and Enhancements here and there
08.11.2016 - V3:
- Integrated newest Android Version NDE63X from earlier today.
- Integrated and enabled WideVine DRM, so that Google Play Movies is now working.
- Custom kernel with additional zzmoove governer and adreno_idler patches to lengthen battery life
- Fixes and Enhancements here and there
04.11.2016 - V2:
- switched the Camera subsystem to HAL1 after discussion with the sony camera guys
- fixed most of the camera related crashes and hangs. Quality of the preview is poor, but pictures are okay.
- Taking a Video crashes the mediaserver and yields no playable result as of now.
- added build for SGP611, which is untested as I do not own the device. But it should work.
02.11.2016 - V1:
- Initial release: Everything except Camera is working. Camera uses HAL3.
Thanks:
- Sony, for providing awesome AOSP support on github

oh man, you're awesome! i will test it when i have a little bit more time. Thanks!
for the camera there is a post in the forum that some dev are trying to figure out a solution for get a camera fully functional?
edit: for the moment the most things are working fine, only one thing when i play video, the video show a green imagen. i will continue testing.

Are you using a specfic video player? Which codec does the video file use?
As for the camera. I am already in contact with the camera guys from Sony and will experiment a little with their suggested solutions today.

Nope, only SGP621 (scorpion) for now, as I have no scorpion_windy. I'll maybe do a blind build once scorpion is stable and functional enough for my taste.

Tried with many different samples from mplayerhq with many different codecs. In VLC with hardware and software decoding as well as with firefoxes internal playback. They all played back fine and without color distortion. Maybe your player app is not yet compatible with 7.1?
Well this is a surprise. Since I never used NFC and the Cameras with the tablet and always got rid of the corresponding apks in /system this would actually be a daily runner for me right now
Sadly I only have a SGP611, so no love for me right now...
Anyway, top notch work, keep it up!

I think I nearly have the camera figured out. As soon as I am done with that, I will try to do a blind build for the SGP611 (scorpion_windy). If it goes through, you can be my guinea pig for testing if you want
sure thing

TWRP stopped working after Gapps flash.
Reflashed TWRP but still stack at TWRP wallpaper and doesn't start.
Does anyone have the solution?
ps. Found out if I take out SD card, TWRP works.
SD card corrupts easily, it seems.

This is strange. Please try reflashing boot.img to boot and twrp to FOTAKernel. If that does not work, you could try formatting those partitions before writing to them via fastboot format.

Just posted a new version with better camera support.

Also I am currently running a build for SGP611 (scorpion_windy). If it builds with no problems, I will post it here for you to test.
Is there a way to get ROOT?
I just flashed SR3-SuperSUv278 and got a boot loop.

Thank you for your info.
I have flashed phh-superuser-magisk-r259 but the root is still missing. No boot loop though.
ps. Solved by installing phh's superuser from Play store.
Added build for SGP611, but the following Warning applies

Have fun testing
PixN Rom** Theme friendly ** Better Camera ** exFAT ** Optimized kernel ** Substratum ** Clang ** Custom Settings **
This is my daily driver which I update occasionally depending on weather I need/want new features. There won't be any OTA's because of work. Do please also check the Credits section, and the Screenshots tab.
I do not have a single sim device, however I have compiled kernels for the single sim and dual sim variant both.
The kernel thread has now been split to be here since the kernel gets more updates than the rom (for now atleast).
This project has been renamed to show the my first forays into more *real* development.
Please use the Feature Request tab for feature inclusion requests.
It's also very hard to keep track of bugs reported here in the comments so please, again, use the bug reports tab...
I'm very thankful to everyone commenting, it's just hard to keep track sometimes, and seeing as DevDB has all the features required...
Since I also use XDA Labs which has no DevDB support it'd be best to comment AND add the comment in the required DevDB tab..

Please feel free to report more bugs, or even request more features but I'm not a dev so, no guarantees.
Installation Instructions
Eventually these will be flashable zips, however right now they're causing an error (IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device)
So for now install by fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery_3.0.2.img
I don't recommend wiping userdata via fastboot so if you want you can always factory reset or clear Data, Cache, Dalvik and System from TWRP.
EDIT:- People having trouble flashing the system.img should try with mfastboot (fix found by @katibehi)
Downloads
The DevDB downloads are for the system.img and boot.img files only. They're in 7z cuz otherwise I can't upload them.
Get the latest kernel from the PixN kernel thread here.
Beta Release 1.999
This is in the DevDB download. The changelog is incorporated into the feature list.
The .7z is NOT FLASHABLE.
Extract it and fastboot flash the file as fastboot flash system filename.img

Beta Release 3
MAJOR RELEASE. Go get it.
Beta Release 3.1
Bugs squashed. Notably the reboot.
Beta Release 4
Biggest YET!! Most feature complete rom around.
Beta Release 5
Bigger than ever (feature wise). First and only 7.1.1 build for our devices. Happy New Year!
Sadly this release is not on DevDB.. Since DevDB won't finish attaching files as of 1st Jan and I don't even know if it'll be back. I'm really hoping for a basketbuild account, cuz then I'll be able to serve OTA's. Anyway.
For now due to popular demand this release, Release 5 is uploaded to MEGA.
Beta Release 5.5
Still on MEGA.
The link to the folder is here
Beta Release6, 7
Mega again... Until DevDB is back up assume all future releases to be on MEGA for now.

FAQ/Frequent Statements
Q0: When ${THING}?
A0: No ETAs. Don't ask.
Q1: You list my phone above but there isn't a build uploaded, why not?
A1: Haven't gotten around to it yet.
Q2: But when will you get to building it?
A2: Damn it, see Q0/A0.
Q3: How often will builds be produced?
A3: Whenever I get to them and feel like uploading.
Q4: But ${THING} isn't working for me. I cannot live without ${THING}.
A4: Not surprising, nougat is still young. Some features aren't ported and some may still be buggy. Maybe this isn't ready for you yet. And don't cry.
Q5: Xposed?
A5: Don't know. Maybe, maybe not. I'll ignore you if you complain about something and are using Xposed. Not out for nougat yet.
Q6: Can I complain about something?
A6: I'd prefer not, but be prepared for me to ignore you.
Q7: Can I report a bug?
A7: Absolutely. Please mention the kernel version and any additional files you flashed. Create a logcat.
Q8: When will you fix ${THING} that I just reported?
A8: Damn it, see Q0/A0. And if your ${THING} isn't something that bothered me, it probably just got shuffled to the back of the line.
Q9: Can I donate?
A9: Sure! Whatever you can. This takes a lot of time. Apparently not.
Q10: What is this "sdclang" thing?
A10: CM is using a optimized version of the clang/llvm compiler for official builds of Qualcomm devices. I'm using it for my own builds. See these links here and here.
I've depreciated this to move to Clang 3.9 (newer).

I just tried it on my E6633
Everything works except the camera which didn't want to work, even after some reboots.

Well.... I'd suggest you wait for a while after the reboot.. Then try the internal camera in WhatsApp... That works for me..
Though the camera problem is basically across all aosp builds until Sony or cyanogenmod or someone fixes it...
First of all thanks for your great effort! this rom is amazing.
Well time to report.
First, battery life is quite amazing, over 5 hours of sot. (around 3 in stock rom)
Second, the 64gb sd card won't get recognized... but on the other hands 32 gb one works well.
Regards,
Jerry
P.s. if you would like to solve the camera issue try to dig into @infected_'s repo... His roms had solved the camera problem.

Thanks for the heads up I'll definitely look into it
I'm not sure why the 64 gb cards don't work...
I'm not having issues with my 128gb sd card but it did format it before it would work..
Has it offered to format the sd card?
EDIT: @infected_ also seems to have used the same sonyAOSP repositories for his aosp build...
It's unlikely but maybe a different tool chain might help... I'll check. Also they seem to be all marshmallow builds... That might also be behind their camera working better...
camera isnt working yet on AOSP, on the kitakami/msm8994 family and all others. with some hacks msm8974 was taking pictures, but nothing stable.
regards.
What about the battery life during the night for you ?
It started from 82% at 2:00 AM, and now it's at 65%...

Yikes, that seems really awful. I'd suggest you use naptime for aggressive doze.
You could also try the doze app which stops background data for chosen apps...
With naptime installed you should get much better battery life...
Did you clean flash this?

I'll try Naptime and Doze app secondly.
Thanks for your tricks. I will tell you if it resolved my issue
And yup, I did a clean install
I can't flash system.img, fastboot shows this error
(load_file: could not allocate -1585037392 bytes
error: cannot load 'system.img')
I downloaded system.img two times but same error.

Which system are you coming from?
I think that error probably has to do with the larger size of the system image because of gapps being included..
Are you trying a full wipe?
finly i flashed it every think is good but camera dosent work. for now i come back to stock.camera important for me.thanks for your work
Is it possible to make this compatible with the E6653 device? The rom loads perfectly on my phone, only thing not working is my SIM card because I dont have a DSDS phone.

Yup it is possible and I'll release a working boot.img for the e6653 with the next release (hopefully today itself)
Actually the delay is because I'm compiling with uber but my first build was laggy as hell.

Why you don't flash this(http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/cyanogenmod-14-1-xperia-z5-e6553-t3493283) on your e6653?

Actually trying that one now, funnily enough it's not detecting my SIM card either. Never had this issue before, might be because I am in Australia.

Haha, you have no idea how excited I am right now. Eagerly awaiting that upload. Soon as it's up, I'll load it up and if all works well I'll use it for a while and give you some feedback.
Unfortunately the CM 14.1 ROM that was posted (which is for the E6653) cant detect my SIM either, lot of other people are having that issue too. Hopefully yours will be that stock experience I'm looking for.

Ok, so I installed Doze, Greenify (without Xposed, hope that it will be compatible with Android Nougat soon ), and NapTime. Without effect, always 2-3% drain per hour.
I realized that my device won't deep sleep, it was always in activity even when I wasn't using it.
I searched for wakelocks, and noticed that Google services were faulty. I disabled some of them after searched online, and it's better
I think without camera, the rom isn't complete. I am waiting for that.

I believe the sim detection in @fergy's rom has been fixed by him.. check the last posts in that thread...
I do honestly believe aosp is doing better than cm-14.1 at the moment, mostly because CMTE hasn't been doing well on the newer CM roms while Substratum is working really well...
I'm uploading a single sim kernel to release 1. Since the Uber builds are being more trouble than help...
Test it and tell me how it goes...

On release 2 (testing) with the Uber toolchain, Open Camera works... however the rom is overall very laggy using uber...
So I'll be looking into other opportunities...
By the way, have you found any non-stock rom (AOSP,CM etc) here or elsewhere with a working msm8994 camera?
If yes please link the repos here, I'll gladly try to incorporate it.
