Help for ROM suggestion - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all,
I need a suggestion for to keep or not stock rom in my brand new Z5 (previous nexus 5, now defunct).
What I need:
Mandatory requirements:
- Marshmallow (for xposed)
- root (xposed/titanium backup)
- Xposed (for xprivacy)
- Xprivacy (no android without)
- rock stable (everyday use - main phone)
Really important:
- OTA in android 6 (this should be in mandatory part, but I think it is the hardest requirement)
Desiderata:
- good/perfect camera performance (near stock rom)
- good battery life
I do not need fancy features: keeping stock rom is a viable option, but I don't like the fact I cannot keep my phone updated for security reason.
I've read many topics about roms, but I lack global comparison. Anyone has tried many of them and can help me?
Feel free to suggest things I've not considered.
Thanks a lot and excuse my english.

You're not going to be able to have OTA and stay on Marshmallow. You need to choose on or the other.

Thanks a lot to both. I opted to keep the original rom, only unlocking and rooting.
Maybe I'll try some updated kernel, if available.
Sony did a very good job hardening things, it's a shame to jeopardize my own phone not installing the last os version, but I can't think of using android as is.
PS: I know all the limitation of Xprivacy in marshmallow and in general, but few is better than nothing.

Awesome ROM! but with some Lag issue after all
civato said:
Lagg with new kernel is fixed (added some explanation with it in synapse), tweaked the hotplug settings , so head over to the kernel thread for the latest Rev2.9
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks for this ROM, it's very clean and smooth!
I have already asked in the Kernel thread the problem I am having. By the way, it could be the way I had installed the ROM. The thing is I am still having the lag (3 seconds each 30 seconds or so) so I don't know if it's the Kernel or the way I had installed the ROM/Kernel.
I am going to go step by step into the process I have followed (the old ROM was the Samsung official one):
-> I have TWRP 2.8.1.1 and Root access <--
0. Copy the ROM rev1.2 and Kernel v2.9 in the SD-Card and reboot into recovery mode.
1. Wipe the first 4 options of the recovery TWRP, Dalvik, Cache, etc..
2. Install the lastest ROM Rev1.2 -> Restart and configure the Tablet
3. Install the lastest kernet v2.9 -> Wipe Dalvik and Cache --> Restart
4. Keep with the lagging​
I have tried to clean the synapse configuration but it still with the lag.
What do you think about it? Do you still with the lag some of you?
Best Regards,
Javier
Tried to share stuff via NFC, but don't have Android Beam in the share options. It won't receive stuff from my Nexus 5 either. Is the stock Samsung rom like that or has NFC functionality been stripped out?
Recommended for performance?
I'm semi-new to installing roms etc, and I just ordered a P900 Note PRO.
I'm hearing some good things about this rom and kernel, but no real specifics about performance.
Are they recommended for a general performance boost?
Does the s-pen become more responsive? No difference?
I just don't know if it's worth tinkering with a brand new system (thus voiding warranty) if the gains aren't significant enough.
[rom+kernel][4.4.2][sm-p900] xef
Hi,
Thanks first to Civato and this community for your hard work.
As I bricked my brand new P900 (wrong name on “permission.xml” without backup) , I have to install a new firmware.
My CSC is “XEF” for France. Civato or Android.Ninja, may you please send me the aroma for this region?
That's the first time I install aroma. If I understand, all I need to do is to dowload and place on my sdcard:
- CivZ-P900-XXUANK2-Rev1.3_signed.zip (a special one for XEF)
- CivZ-P900-REV3.2.zip
I install them follow by a full wipe and I have a light fully functional tablet
Do I miss some steps?
Re: [rom+kernel][4.4.2][sm-p900] xef
I may not be in a lively forum: there was no answer about my request.
Without more hinds, I wasn't able to install the aroma zip files because of errors returned.
For the moment, I miss my tablet so I get back to stock.
Also, I close the request for some moment.
Slovak language on P900 note pro civaz rom
Please add slovak language THX
Is it possible to apply the red underline spell check fix to this ROM? I'm not sure if installing the default fix in other threads for other ROMs would break this one.
The OP said no special requests.

Help Request: [P3110] Cm13 Android 6.0.1 Custom Kernel, Root & Test Review (Updated)

Help Request: [P3110] Cm13 Android 6.0.1 Custom Kernel, Root & Test Review (Updated)
Greetings Everyone;
I've flashed "CM13 Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) [Unofficial]"
[Detailed Info]
Android Version: 6.0.1
CyanogenMod Version: 13.0-20160911-1524-Unofficial-expressowifi
Build Date: 11/09/2016
Build Number: cm_expressowifi-userdebug 6.0.1 MOB31e f5b160c161 test-keys
Kernel: 3.0.101-g34c045f
I'm Extremelly Happy with it.
So far i believe everything is working (almost) perfectly - Not much to point out so far.
The only things i can point out are:
- In some Wifi Networks, the Wifi won't get Stable (Works great at my own Network at Home, but Constatly Disconnects on My Job Network) - Yet I'm not 100% Sure if this issue is related to CM 13 6.0.1 ROM.
- Battery Consumption is above Normal (as expected, but I noticed that it consumes too much battery and that it will still discharge while charging.
I.e: While playing (i.e: Playing SimCity). However it will still it hold on for a Really Great Time While under Intensive use.
* Aprox. 3h ~ 4h (On Battery)
* Aprox. 4h ~ 6h (While Charging / Discharging)
Normal Usage: It works perfectly normal (specially great power saving while device is idle / standby).
Due to this Battery Consuption Issue and for Battery Saving / Overclock Purposes i've been looking (without success) for:
How to Root Android 6.0.x and a Custom Kernel that would let me Underclock (For Longlasting Battery) / (Overclock for Performance Purposes)
After some extensive search i could find this XDA Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/galaxy-tab-2-unified/rom-cyanogenmod-13-cm13-0-t3303798
But as far as i understand it requires to be compiled; and i have no skills on how to do it (Never tried it to be honest).
Can anyone point me out on the Good Direction for:
- How to Root;
- Custom Kernel
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards;
Richard G.
Andi cm13 rom is perfect I'm using it and won't change it for anything else except the N rom.
If you are looking for for a good kernel to overclock or downclock this is the only one compatible with it with minor issues (the boot iui will turn 90 degree) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183830
Other than that everything is fine...

Hello Zidane01;
Thanks for your prompt repply.
I believe i'm using Android-Andi's CM13 Rom (I really don't remember the website source).
However i updated the thread and included detailled information about it / what i am doing here.
I think other p3110 users without this ROM will apreciate the information above.
Did you manage to Root / Get Root Permissions with that ROM? (if so, How / Where? - Manually; with CF-Root; other method?)
Regarding the Kernel:
I Will give it a try, and write some more about it later.
I've been reading the Dhollmen Kerned Thread; the issue is known among other users as well. It will Most likely be fixed in the future (hopefully).
I don't know wich file you've flashed in your device; however according to the Thread:
Quoting (With Slightly Improved English and 1 Tip)
" If you're on Marshmallow then Flash Latest "DhollmenM Kernel" (Notice the Capital M); but i dont think it will boot up on new CM 13 Builds.
Important: DON'T Flash DhollmenCM as this is for Jellybean CM10!!!!! "
Further Info:
DhollmenL : Lollipop versions
DhollmenK : Kit-Kat versions

Hi. All Andi and Ziyan roms are already rooted . To get root access you have to go to settings then about my tablet go down to build number then keep hitting it until you get developers access now go back and in developer options go to root access change it from disabled to apps only or apps and adb if you are planning or know how to use adb

Yes, You need to be unlocked, otherwise is there no chance to flash with fastboot. Besides the rooting of the Kernel is everything Stock. Everything works so far even with GSIs
Where did you get the Customized EU 55.1.A.0.748 J9210 ?? I does not appear on XperiFirm.

My Bad, it is the UK one... I'm also still waiting for customized EU which was always My Choice for Xperia Sources and Development. I'm currently working with GSIs on My Xperia 5 but think i will Release some Stock work soon since i prefer Xperia Android actually over AOSP...
Users will be able to use any Base Firmwares (Android 10) for it but i will personally Test on Custom EU :fingers-crossed:

Just read the first Post of this Thread and You will get everything You'll need.
EDIT: Since You just need a .img File for Magisk is there no need to share it with Me actually. Just patch it in the Magisk Manager App and flash it with fastboot afterwards.

Ah, okay. Thanks. One last stupid question.. for the firmware, does it matter if the img file comes from the Android 10 firmware? I am planning to flash my Xperia 1 with PE, which is still Pie.

Prefer a newer Base Firmware over a newer GSI. A Android 9 GSI will run better with Android 10 Kernel as vice versa. Pie will be no Problem if You run Android 10 Vendor and Kernels. Happy flashing! :fingers-crossed:

After I get root, can I completely deGoogle my phone? Since there is no Lineage OS for XPERIA 5, can I manually get rid of all of Google's stuff?
Help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Yes You can. But You can also install LOS 17.1 from the GSI Forums. I also did Instructions for flashing GSI Treble ROMs in the Xpiera 5 Guides Forum :good:
After that You may want to have Magisk to pass safetynet and to install MicroG or NanoDroid to get everything working. I'm actually running PHHs AOSP with My SOM Module and it's one of My Favorites so far. You may also like Havoc OS Official which also comes as no Google Apps Version. You can do the same on Havoc like You can on LOS but + endless Costomization

I really appreciate your reply, but I am a complete noob and all this is extremely overwhelming.
"PHHs AOSP with My SOM Module" - this alone gives me terrors
I know nothing about these things but I understand you, it's just everyday business for you coz you are a developer. I tried reading your guides and there are so many things I don't understand. I also was traumatized by rooting my S10, which I sold and got Xperia 5 instead. I read here people said I will permanently lose DRM keys after rooting. This is my biggest problem. With S10 I knew I could go back to stock and not worry. Here, if I go all the way and deGoogle my Xperia and it doesn't work the way it should I won't be able to go back and on top of that selling it will be harder and I will lose money since not everyone is willing to buy a phone which can't get Netflix and other DMR-dependent garbage.
Maybe I could sponsor you to help me flashing all the stuff. I just don't know if it's a crazy idea. Also, asking you to rewrite your guides for idiots like me is asking too much, given how busy you are.
If you have some advice I would greatly appreciate it.

First of all. Good choice to get rid of a Samsung Device Like i did with My S9+! Sammy is pushing Android into a Appleish Edge that shouldn't exist...
Just like Huawei. But different Story...
Out of My View with Years of expierence with different Brands is SONY one of the Most supporting OEM in Views of Android Development besides the Fact they Always excluded some functionality of the included Smartphone Hardware. For example:
-Xperia Z1 lost the Complete Camera Function after unlocking (Got fixed with a Update later after Claims from Customers) and lost Display enhancements + Camera Noise reduction
-Xperia Z3 lost the Vibrant Display Colors after unlocking (Aka Bravia Engine) which ended Up in washed Out Colors and was still loosing Noise reduction
-Xperia XZ Premium still loosing enhancements after unlocking plus the loss of Camera Noise reduction
And now the Xperia 5...
Sony used for the First Time Samsung Sensors for the Cameras instead of own ones with High Resolution. So no Noise Reduction needed anymore. Finally OLED, so no washed Out colors without Display Enhancements.
I'm quite Happy with this One since you don't loose Something Essential. Besides that have i Always Managed since the Z3 to fix almost all Problems on Xperias with native Android functionalities that is used on other Devices. Eg. For the Display, Audio, Camera, Mics and so on.
And thats the final Point. While older Devices Had the Chance to Backup and restore the TA Partition or even to use a Recovery on locked Bootloader (I've also worked with this for some Time) which allowed to make Your Device Complete Stock again. We don't really have that Options anymore. So i would say an Unlock is a final Step. But to be honest. I sold many Devices claimed as unlocked and rooted and it hasn't Cut the Price at all. And even if You Don't. I don't think a normal Person will See a difference after unlocking and relocking
Is it worth it? For Me a clear Yes! I never looked back after unlocking any of My "Hundreds" of Devices i used. Magisk and GSIs alone are really worth the Unlock Out of My View actually. You can do so much with Android and it finally doesn't feels Bad anymore on Xperias. My SOM (Magisk based ROM (Systemless-On-Memory) will do a lot of awesome Things with Our Xperias (1 & 5). Another good Reason maybe...
It could be smart to make a Video which explains how to get My Work on Your Xperias. From unlocking to Flashing... Would really like to do that after some preparing for it. Possible that there are a lot of People who don't even know about Bootloader unlocking so it really could be cool. I already did some Videos in the Past; https://www.youtube.com/user/TheMarius517
Think i got a bit lazy since the Software alone takes so much time These days. But i will do My best to get People in Touch and to Show everything step by step.
Lot of Text but Hope i made Your decision to Unlock or not easier... Don't think about the Future of Your Device. Think about what You want from it right now...:good:
Btw. Not Sure but You could try ADB to remove Apps. But idk. If IT IS possible with Google Apps (Locked Bootloader Method)
All the Best,
Miu
Thank you! You are a hero. I will be waiting for your updated guides and possibly a video for noobs. Appreciate your time!
Peace.

[ROM][11] JAGUAR R FOR ONEPLUS 3

This is the official build of Jaguar Rom. I have been building Android roms since 2012 for various devices including multiple Sonys, Lenovo Zuk and Oneplus 5 (my current device). You can check the Oneplus 5 development thread here: Oneplus 5 thread
Jaguar rom is focused on hardening of Android and kernel. As such, the rom has hardened bionic and tightened security. Kernel has security features ported from linux kernel 4.14.
Otherwise, the rom has all standard+ features that come with custom roms:
1 Rom control with custom Power menu, Statusbar, Buttons, Navbar, Quicksettings, Lockscreen, Notifications, Gestures, Themes etc.
2. Working FDE encryption, which is not forced, but could be enabled within Settings
3. Heavily modified Art, Bionic System/Vold and System/Security
4. Telephony response ('silently acknowledged') to Type Zero sms disabled
5. Toggle to disable Captive Portal logging
6. Rom could be booted on locked bootloader out of the box
7. All customizations as listed in '1'
8. MicroG ready
Instructions:
1. If you are encrypted on any other rom, you need to do a factory reset in TWRP, the option, where you enter 'Yes' to confirm.
2. Reboot into TWRP (after factory reset), transfer Jaguar to internal SD, wipe system/cache/data and /vendor, if you have it;
3. Flash the rom and reboot.
You will be unencrypted. If you want encryption (FDE, not ICE), encrypt withing Settings.
Rom V1 is in the attachment. All subsequent release will be posted in #3.

I am waiting for @optimumpro to release update with Jan-2021 ASP's. Then I plan to use it as my daily driver.
Currently I have it on my OP3 as a testbed, so can't really provide feedback on battery life. For my OP3/3T over the years average daily SOT has been around 2:30 to 3:30 hours upto & including Android 11.

Thanks for the reply.
But that sot seems quite short. Depending on the use you gave, ofc.
But with moderate use, I usually get around 4h.
@optimumpro
So your ROM seems to be build from MSM Xtended sources. There are improvements or advantages in your ROM over the original Xtended ROM?

I used AOSP sources, as well as Msm-Xtended, as well as DU, as well as Crdroid, but:
1. Art, Bionic, System/Vold, System/Security and most of /frameworks/base sources are different
2. Interface is different
3. Some blot removed
4. Several different apps
5. Kernel is different: I squashed about 20 commits (hardening) in one
6. Blobs are different
7. My rom can disable (with a toggle) Captive portal apk, which is spyware. Otherwise, if you uninstall it, you'll have a nasty 'X' in wifi and some sites may not work
8. Acknowledgement of receipt of type zero SMS is disabled. This is is the first thing hackers do - ping your phone with an sms that doesn't appear on screen... .
But ultimately, only you can decide which rom to use.

My post was not to offend you. Thanks for the explanation and clarification. Your points make sense and they are great and important plus over the other ROMs. This should me mentioned in the OP.
I know that asking for ETA is not welcome on XDA. But one more question concerning updates. What are your plans for that. Your ROM has security in focus. Do you think building monthly updates for Android Security Bulletin?
I don't switch ROMs very often, cos I'm to lazy for this. So when switching to a new ROM I'll like to stick on it for a long time.

Usually, once a month. However, this rom is version 1, so, there might be more updates. Definitely, one with January security patches in a few days.
January 8: New release, V2.0
1. January security patches
2. Rom rebuilt with speed flag. As a result, it is larger in size, but should be speedier, because there is less runtime compiling involved
Dirty flash is fine on top of V-1. Download in post #3.

No. - I am using the latest version of TWRP - twrp-3.5.0_9-0-oneplus3
Great to see this hardened flavour of 11 which can even be used with locked bootloader @optimumpro !
As I understand you will have monthly updates also which is great to keep our phone up to date.
One question though; is it possible to use /data/local/userinit.sh scripts with this rom?
Would be a great option to do some system settings without the need of Magisk or other stuff.

Moto E22 - LineageOS20 vs Lineage

I just bought a Motorola Moto E22 and want to install a custom ROM to get rid of google stuff.
It seems Lineage does not support this phone yet, but I found this LineageOS22 guide which I have no idea it is reliable or if it has anything to do with the official Lineage project.
Any clarification or suggestions for alternative privacy respecting ROMs that work on Moto E22 would be much appreciated.
First of all, don't do these before completing 1 year of buying. You will lose warranty for unlocking bootloader.
Second thing is, if any official rom is not supported, you can definitely use unofficial version from xda. Developers try their best to fix issues with unofficial roms. If you don’t know if it’s reliable or not, read the comments to learn about bugs, issues and positive sides.
Don't be afraid of trying roms built for your model. Because by chance if you don’t find the rom good, you can revert back to stock rom using rescue & smart assistant tool (official software from lenovo/moto)
And before getting started, take note of your model number. Also you have to install device info hw app & click on system there. There you have to find what is your device called in developments. The name will be written beside "device" title (not sure). For example, my moto e5 is called nora in development.
N.B. Dont use any unofficial rom from outside of xda!

Thanks for the quick response.
Privacy is a greater concern than warranty, so much so that I would have got the PinePhone if I could, but the best I can do is try to mitigate the damage made by stock android spyware and Motorola bloatware.
I'm more than willing to test unofficial roms, the problem is that there doesn't seem to be any available for my model here on xda, not even an official thread yet.
The LineageOS20 for Moto E22 link I found does seems a bit suspicious as there is nothing about it here on the forum.
