Hi devs (schlund, devras, tzacapaca, anynymous devs & future devs)
Since Cardsharing deleted all the photon kernel repository on GIT website (thank you Cardsharing), we need to do it again.
I suggest we use Google Code:
http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/GettingStarted
Google code has a project src hosting (for devs), a bug tracker (for devs and users), a wiki (for n00bs) and a download section.
The drawback is, all of you guys need a google ID to use it.
Otherwise we can continue with a new GIT repository, or use google SVN for that, or any other tool of your suggestion.
What do you think?
ok sorry i forgot, codiak already created this page for photon:
http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/
let's use this!
Sry for spamming, but why did Cardsharing delete all hes posts ?

Though cardsharing is a great developer but is being childish at this time. He just believe r0bin, schlund and other developers are not supporting him.
@cardsharing: stop acting rude dude. Think evaone is developing their part of job and developing their part of work. Please don't act so badly and help us porting android on hd mini.
thanks r0bin, schlund and other developers for porting android for us.
hi guys,
project page have been updated, codiak and tzacapaca are the big boss of the page

Who did this new thing 18.05.2011_r96.rar in the Download list?
I didn't know that has been added since 5/23?
Please if something new we must know..
Thanks

This release has been done by Schlund, using his new kitchen!
To my knowledge, it is similar to the previous latest release, but thanks to schlund's kitchen it takes less space.
Schlund's Kitchen is a tool for devs (many thanks Schlund, this tool is very powerful!)
It allows you to update and modify easily the files stored inside system.ext2, init.rd and kernel and generate those files for test & release.
Schlund also wrote a wiki here:
http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/wiki/GettingStartedWithTheKITCHEN
Regarding releases changes, don't worry, if there is any bug fixed this will be posted on the forum.
Till now, we're still working on 3G, little progress:
photon can now be "attached" to GPRS, next step is IP configuration.
be patient...
Thank you for your answer Robin.. & Thanks for schlund also.
No problem.. I will be patient
I just wanted to say if new packages, as I said: Please if something new we must know.. for helping or something else..
Anyway Thanks

Hi,
I can't post yet directly on Namidairo thread.
I would like to know if someone has the change log for every version release by Namidairo?
I have version cm-11-20140306-UNOFFICIAL-tf201 installed, it works fine.:highfive:
Since I have no idea of what has been changed in new versions. Is it better to keep my version? or just try new one?
I would like to test every version and git my feedback on it, but I don't know what changes to test/verify for!
Regards

I have checked in changelog on Cyanogenmod site. I checked changes by date and it seems to follow the release of Namidairo.
First question does Osprey's hardware support Android O ?
Prob does but we'll prob not be able to have some features
Osprey's hardware didn't supported android N too but we got it with custom rom... I think this will happened with android O too
Our device is in list to get los 15 ie. android O

Well that's a pleasant news. And considering the awesome dev support our device has, I'm pretty sure we'll be getting plenty of Android O ROMs to try out.

Just for fyi, lineageosdownloads.com is not the official site (download links are redirected to actual linageos.org (org, not com)). So information they give cannot be verified unless the official linageos blog posts something about it.
It's still a long way. Source code hasn't been out yet. After AOSP code is pushed, linageos team will work on it, but considering the limited resources (unlike CyanogenMod), it can take a while. After the base is ready, then devs will focus on building device specific images and fix bugs. Only then android o will be roaster ready. Other derivative ROMs will take more time obviously.
We can't be sure if 8.0 will be fully compatible with our device. We don't have official Nougat kernel sources and proprietary blobs (AFAIK), also from what I've observed so far, the farther apart the last official firmware and target firmware are, the harder it is to keep a ROM unmodified and yet stable & functional.
Our device shouldn't die that easy though, as newer Moto devices with similar hardware as osprey and Merlin have been released.

Just like i say earlier our device it wasn't supported android N but we got it thanks to our awesome developers. I think they won't let us down with android O too.. it maybe take a little time but i think we will have android O for our moto g 2015
sorry for my bad english
Hopefully we get O, and hopefully O comes default with the pixel nav because redacting that would take effort thats not worth it now that nexus is dead .

Our device does support Nougat, it is evident by the presence of custom ROMs (and even a stock port). The only reason we didn't get a OTA was because the company didn't provide us. The Moto ROM and these custom ROMs all are based on AOSP code.( Technically, if the company released the full source of their ROM and features, then we could build stock ROMs too)
And yes, you are right, it may take a little while but eventually we should see the ROMs coming
But the absence of latest device specific proprietary stuff and official kernel sources forces devs to look for other branches to fill the gaps and get newer thingies working. In some places it's not possible to implement a certain feature and an older feature is modded to make it work, for example before the official marshmallow OTA was out, we already got marshmallow ROMs but it had some hacky workarounds for radio (I don't know if it was updated after that), same goes for early Nougat when camera was becoming a problem. The camera is still not perfect (check linageos thread), working correctly on some apps and glitching on others. Newer software, newer challenges.
But codes are not exactly like food though, mixture of old and new ones is not always bad. But the blobs and drivers sometime give headache
Broadcasted from Zeta Reticuli
Have faith on our awsome developer we will surely have android O
Well, Android Oreo is out. I really hope that Osprey will get it soon.
https://source.android.com/devices/architecture/treble
according to this website,
"With Treble, a new stable vendor interface provides access to the hardware-specific parts of Android, enabling device makers to deliver new Android releases simply by updating the Android OS framework—without any additional work required from the silicon manufacturers"
Does this mean if someone gets Lineage OS 15 or OTA of Stock Android 8.0, they will receive all the updates from google from security patch to new Android versions (If the hardware is capable of running that version obviously!)?
---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------
If that so, Manufacturers can just update all the devices which theoretically can run android O , it will be a onetime work, after that it'll be easy to update the devices
That would be amazing. Let's wait for a developer opinion.
I managed to build AOSP 8.0_r4 for osprey with SELinux disabled and tons of warnings, using cm14.1's files with some edits. Though for some reason the kernel doesn't seem to boot (I tried with linage os and squid kernel)
I attached the boot.img it built if someone more expert wants to look at it (I didn't manage to find anything wrong)
Flashing the file results in fastboot "Error: failed to load the kernel"

Hi, Alberto97 (the official maintainer of lineageOS for osprey) has successfully booted android O on osprey. If you can get in contact with him, he might help you.
PS. Don't bug him about ETAs. He'll release when he feels its ready.

Hello,
There is no confirmation yet about this from official maintainer
Yes it should be get as Osprey already successfully booted it.. but don't ask for ETA
Sony Mobile is committed to supporting the open developer community, and one way to show this is by publishing parts of our code as well as selected tools developed by our internal developers.
For some of the Xperia™ devices, we provide Android™ Open Source Project (AOSP) device configurations on GitHub. This means that the software will be open for you as a developer to use and contribute to. This is a way for us to support the open Android community, and it is also a tool for us to facilitate and verify contributions to AOSP.
If you want to build AOSP for your unlocked Xperia device, you find all the resources you need in the sections below.

Does it also mean that the official firmware from Sony will be updated with this new kernel?
I am not a developer but built it following the guide using the sources since a few months back. Boots and runs. Even used it for a time. But couldn't get fingerprint sensor to work properly. When I used 8.0 branch it was working but very slow and roughly. (Nowhere near the sensitivity of the stock rom) now with 8.1 branch can't get it register fingerprints. Sensor works, starts enrollment and progresses, but at the last step it gives error. However seems like more sensitive and faster than before. Another problem is the battery drain when idle. When using the phone daily routine not that bad, slightly less screen on time compared to stock but the real problem idle battery drain. %15-20 in 6-7 hours. According to battery starts appears to be related to Google play services which is always a serious battery killer for custom roms for years. Other than these did not notice any serious problems. And all this without any changes or tweaks. Straight from the source. Good job Sony imo.
@maluus Don't know if this also applies to compiling roms, but Sony just (march 8) released a new version (v11) of the odm image, which solves fingerprint enrollment issues you seem to describe for the omnirom 8.1 build:
https://developer.sony.com/file/dow...es-for-aosp-oreo-android-8-1-kernel-4-4-loire
Yeah heard of it. I was using v10 oem image last time. When i get back to home I'll try with v11 and will see if fingerprint issue is solved. If it's ok i can use it as daily as it is. If battery drain problem is solved too it will be pretty much everything i expect.
Vendor v11 is out
https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/latest-updates
battery drain is fixed and new kernel binary will be released today
FM-radio will work someday on kugo in custom roms?
Anyone tried a recent aosp build with v11 binaries yet? Does fingerprint works correctly and accurately? How is the battery life compared to the stock? What is screen on time?
Just installed an AOSP build from March 15th together with v11 binaries and Micro GApps. Fingerprint is working.
And the battery life? I'm home though. I'll be building soon ?

All build guides are updated with the Security updates
https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/guides/aosp-build-instructions/
Here is the list of all known bugs. If you find bugs you can always open a ticket in the bug tracker and we will check it ASAP.
https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/bug_tracker/issues
@jerpelea, do you know if there is a modem binary file for this phone that's compatible with T-Mobile VoLTE in the US? The XZ1C has a compatible file (amss_fsg_lilac_tmobile_us_ims_tar.mbn). The stock ROM doesn't, but I'm trying to get VoLTE working and this file would certainly help (if it exists).
Last night I built again. First thing I noticed is how well fingerprint reader works. It's like stock. Congrats to the devs for good job. Camera including video recording and Bluetooth works. But camera seems 1-2 mm smal from sides. Charging issue persists. As Harry pointed 3 amp chargers doesn't work. I tried 2 other chargers. 2.1 amp charger work normally. But 1 amp charger starts do disconnect and connect again after 43-44%. (I'll share the logs with devs) Another problem I noticed is that I can't root with magisk. Tried ver 16, 17 and 18. I can flash from twrp without error but when the device boot up neither Magisk manager is installed nor device is rooted. I did not try with supersu. Another thing to mention is that device boots up pretty slow. Boot crash still happens sporadically.
PS: Supersu works. Sometimes device lags heavily. I noticed especially on chrome and some banking apps.
PS 2: Sharing logs. (Includes 3 amp charging attempt and 2.1 amp charging)
little off, very very basic question, and I could not seem to find the answer.
I understand how to set up a build environment and build an image to the phone, but how about the developer.sony.com latest section binaries?
are they already built images? how will it be different if I build mine following the instructions?
Cheers,
You'll build rom first then you still need to flash that binaries too. They are not alternatives to your home build rom. They are part of the os which you won't be able to homebrew, for your device to work properly.
Hello there.
Does anyone still have a Copperhead build that they could share with me?
I've searched on the site but I had no luck, apparently, they now charge for builds.
No idea if they will even give me a build of the Nexus 5 since it's not been supported since 2016 (From what I could see from archive.org).
Have a great day and thanks for reading this thread.
I have one, but it is not the latest one. FYI, it is *not* secure anymore (outdated android, no security patches, missing some crucial security features...)
Let me know if you still need it so I can upload it/need help installing it. I got it working on my Nexus 5 not a while ago before resorting to a other OS

Sorry for the late reply, I almost forgot about the existence of this post.
I would really appreciate it if you could upload the image to any service.
I know that it's outdated, but it should still be relatively secure compared to Custom ROMs of that era.
(I just wanted to try the whole Isolation thing)
Thanks in advance
