Tempting Android N AOSP

Very tempted to update to Android N (Team FXP AOSP)
But I value my camera quality (Using DRM fix kernel, works great)
Knowing that the Xperia is never going to get android N, due to google removing the Z3's kernel from their source, would it be worth updating to AOSP, basically removing all the features that are so good?

You answered your own question, stick to stock if you want a camera that works 100% well. AOSP camera has never been good for any phone and the camera on Nougat barely works anyway.
Next best thing is Concept ROM, which still has a decent camera

I'm tempted to try Nougat AOSP. I don't mind losing the camera on Z3c that much since I prefer my camera on my G4. But I don't know how to install it. Is there a guide? That's up? Last time I checked Sony's site the guide was down.
Two qustions, how bad does the camera become, is it still usable for simple random snaps to send to friends on IMs?
What is DRM fix kernel?
TIA

Lol nougat barely works. I've been running it for days now. My opinion is nougat is excellent on z3c. I can upload a flash able zip with full Google apps if people are interested

That does sound good. Get 6-8h SOT with SLiMM ROM. Do you know how much you get on this one?
Also could you do me a favour and check which Android Security Patch it got? It would be awesome if PA is up to date with that.
TIA

Security patch is September. Its built off the main branch of AOSP google sources. So security will always be uptodate

Please could provide a link to the Rom Nougat 7.0

Can you please share the gapps, or tell me which ones you are using? I got cm gapps or open gapps from cm website (for 7.0) and my google play services keep crashing.

Hey thanks. Quick question, you said you have been running nougat on your device and everything (but the camera) seems to be working. I just installed it last night (and my gapps are working as well now) and I already noticed a couple of bugs. First and most important, i can't hear the person on the other end of the line. It appears that my earpiece is not working. The person on the other end can hear me, but I can't hear that person. Second and minor issue, once i plug in my z3c to charge, the battery icon top right shows the charging sign as it should. However when i unplug, that charging sign doesn't go away. So far i have noticed these bugs, can you confirm if you are not facing these bugs (so I know its my device that is messed up).
Thanks,

Hi!
I'm using the latest AOSP for our devices, and facing thiese bugs too. ( 20160912 ). Sometimes I've got calling bug when I can't hear the other person on the line, but he can hear me. Just a restart solves it, but I've got thiese problem nearly evry tenth call time... And one more thing, while i'm on calling and my phone set to minimum volumes, everyone else could to hear my phones speak... or I can say it, what you're talking about. Like when i set the speak to a loudspeaker, as though it were the whole conversation. The speakers are very loud on minimum volume, and not too much louder on maximum settings. ( but, i think they are a known bug ).
Second, the cahrging icon. Yes I experienced it too, when you disconnect the charger from the phone, the icon remain the same, like when the charger plugged in.. And I think, something gping on the background, because my battery goes down nearly 30 percent by a night ( 8h ).
About the rom speed. I think, it runs very smooth / fine until more than five software parallel, ROM while fast. If more than five program run in the background, ROM start to tear, slow down. If you delete them from the memory, the system will be fast again.
I tried to take a logcat with "aLogcat" from playstore, but it's not working. I remember it from my previously phone age, i must convert it to system app... But now, I can't do this, because i did it with Titanium Backup, and now they not support andoid N..
Anyway, I think its will be a very good AOSP rom... ( without camera :/ )

No sound on video recording on Oxygen OS

Hi guys. As I said in the title, sometimes, i think 50% of the time, I have no sound when I record a video. This happens with stock camera app and with google camera app also.
I haven't been able to find what is the trigger regarding this, sometimes it works after restart, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it works just after I restart the app. I have also tried to change the video resolution, the problem appears in any resolution.
I think this is an old problem, which appeared in an early version of OOS, but, since I have not used the phone for video recording for a long time, I did not knew that this problem exists.
I have tried to modify the "fluence" in build prop (noise reduction), hoping that it will work, after I have read a few threads regarding the problem with inconsistent sound on video recording. However, I did not find anyone who complained about no sound on video.
I am on open beta 15 rooted with magisk.
Any ideas?

I would try another Rom in your case.

Resurrection Remix (Exynos) Discussion Thread

This thread is for discussion of the Resurrection Remix build on the Exynos
The RR build is available for download here

After turning camera on for a few times this happens.
Also there's an icon for multiwindow in recently menu but it doesn't work and cannot be turned off, kind of bothers me.

Just wondering @dl12345 , so if we have any issues or we find a bug that related with RR but not lineage it won't get fixed, even if we provide logs? I'm kind of confused on how you phrased it when you said that you wouldn't deal with RR bugs but you would still update this after every lineage build release. Would the newer builds of RR that's based on the newer builds of lineage cause issues later on?

I mean that if there is an RR specific bug then it won't get fixed until such times as the LineageOS build is fully stable. I'm already spending a lot of time getting the LineageOS build stable and I really don't have time to deal with two ROMs simultaneously. I released this RR build because quite a few people want it.
RR is based off LineageOS so actually compiling a build is not time consuming - I just point it to the same repository as my LineageOS build and tell it to build. This is why I am happy to release a RR build whenever I release a LineageOS build.

Thanks for this build, flashed now and all is working ok.

ROM faster and super smoothly.
In addition to the camera, which after some photos fails, there is the bug of the previous RR build, after a call all the audio are muted. Only rebooting or using Tasker to kill mediaserver after call audio work again.

You have any tips on how to use Tasker to kill media server after call?

This is my Tasker backup.
Install Tasker and restore this.
Basically Tasker will kill media server and play a beep after a call.

The run shell task must be root granted.

Try run /system/bin/unmute-call-audio after making a call.
This is the app I use to unmute the audio on boot up. Be interesting to see if it fixes the problem....

Only for testing, flashed ROM again and now after call audio works normally, without Tasker.
If the bug appears again I will try your suggestion.

Has anyone noticed something with wrong with their accelerometer sensors? After awhile mine seems to stop working and don't change between the landscape and portrait modes.
I'll try to get logs for the next time it happens.
P.S. Do you guys have any suggestions for logging app for convenience?

From what I heard on the lineage thread try opening YouTube app and go back to the other application you were using. For some reason he said that it works.

If anyone is interested here's a RR boot animation which is normal sized since the one in the rom is really tiny (flashable)

I haven't find these mentioned yet but can someone confirm this isn't just me? Also I'm not sure if this is related to a WhatsApp bug or the ROM. Thanks in advance.
while you're using WhatsApp voice call it looks like screen closes but it continues to register touches even if you turn off the screen using the power button.
Also while listening to the voice messages of you cover the proximity sensor it turns off the screen and stops the playing message.

Hi guys, can I flash the stock Android 6.0 over this, or will it brick my phone?
I have TWRP and rooted with Magisk
thanks

Any way to fix the system apps keeps crashing? only factory reset solves the problem but after 1 hour the problem occurs but on different system app.
example
stock email app
Keeps closing when opening a mail
after factory reset
email works
contacts closing
email closing

Which Custom Rom is the best?

Which custom rom is better as a daily driver? I rarely play games so gaming doesn't really matter, I watch youtube and browse twitter and reddit.
I'm thinking of flashing dotOS or Havoc OS, but if there's a better and more stable rom, just let me know.
Thanks

I would suggest Harukey's Syberia pie rom, an excellent choice for a daily driver, i use it with the stock kernel it originally comes with, and not rooted; zero bugs believe me. And an excellent battery life, my device's battery has gone from 97% to 66% in 2.5 days of inconsistent usage. And stanby drain is almost non-existent. Cant vouch for any other rom, had problems with Havoc, and havent tried dot os as of yet. I'm sticking with syberia for atleast a few months for now.
Here's the latest iteration:

And I'm sorry, seems like I forgot to tell you about the only bug that I've come across, since that doesnt matter much to me. The auto brightness feature doesnt seem to work at all times, sometimes it will work, but half of the time it refuses to make an effect on the screen brightness, so be wary of that.
And btw, you could also look towards the Pixel experience rom, another great ROM for our device, and extremely smooth and bug free, and if my memory serves me right, auto brightness also works fine on it.
Here's the latest version of the PE rom:

Thank you for recommending this to me, it's really smooth (better than miui). Flashed it yesterday, autobrightness doesn't matter because I don't use it. Lawnchair was a bit glitchy, and ram management was ok, but i got 5 hours of sot from 60% to 5% which is good. Once again thanks so much for recommending me this awesome rom. I'll probably donate to the developers for their work.

Syberia +1

Havoc os with wolf hunter edition kernal

Havoc OS latest build

Pixel Experience Go rom is most stable rom ever

SyberiaOS is the best one so far! I absolutely love it.
The only thing I'd change is the default launcher, Lawnchair is indeed glitchy and I'm always scared to update because every time I had problems with this before & after the encryption so it isn't the cause.
Has anyone experienced bootloop after update? I didn't root the device, I always leave the update zip bc I every time I need to reflash again.

How come you don't have any bugs on dotOS? I tried it twice, two different versions, I thought maybe my set up was faulty but every time I had to replace this rom with something else. It's unusable.

I did and didn't restore my data. Soon after the installation I get numerous errors and hang ups. I won't try it again.

I'm testing right now the CAF ROM.
I miss so many added features from SyberiaOS (beautifully implemented One-Hand mode, scrambled lockscreen keyboard, more accessible power menu, choosing preferred overview mode, built-in status bar customiser and many more handy additions). WiFi seems a lot slower (and it is, just checked with fast.com) and it says it's been fixed on the project's offical website. Not. Loc on, BT off. No root.
I always choose smaller display size and on Pixel Experience ROM it looks less adjusted and even too small (items are too close to the edges, especially annoying on the pull-down status bar). SyberiaOS has more steps to configure this one, so "smaller" one doesn't look that small.
Except some nice touches like Product Sans and neat-looking lockscreen weather widget I don't see many advantages over SyberiaOS. I don't care about Pixel wallpapers and sounds - I always use the same wallpaper and sounds since Nokia N8 XD.
Still, the ROM feels nice, there are +2 pros just mentioned above, but they aren't a necessity, another +1 because of the recent founding in SyberiaOS (on Pixel Experience camera does include location which is a must for me, but same as SyberiaOS doesn't display Model & Maker), +1 for built-in Google apps, +1 for seamless encryption, +1 boots faster, but it may be subjective (although RAM usage is 1 GB less of what SyberiaOS uses) and possible +1 for smooth updates. We'll see.
I'll stick with it for some time and see how's it going.
@RohanHasabe8 check this out and thank you big time!

Which version do you mean, official or unofficial?

Lineage OS is the best rom . I am on LOS 15.01 oreo 8.1 rom no bugs and a lot of updates.
Also lot of privacy settings like trust. Normal drain of battery and it is official and still supported.
:good::good::good:for the devs who work hard!

In this case you have to change kernel. Try f.e. gabriel or wolf kernel.

This is really a question that should be posted in the lineage development thread. It's rom specific, or so it seems, you don't say if it was that way on stock or not. It doesn't coincide with my experience on stock, does it you? I'm guessing rom specific.
