Note: How to use Battery Doctor on Android 4.4 KitKat
Android 4.4_r1 removed the possibility for apps to request for the BATTERY_INFO permission, This is the commit https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/3714141d287c965ea3451831dd5167f63f8db87b%5E%21/
The reason (issue mentioned) for the commit is unknown.
This permission and the access to batterystats - formerly known as batteryinfo - service is vital for use cases (and apps) dealing with analysing awake and wakeup causes (battery drainers) as this services gives access to partial wakelocks and alarms.
I would like to request a rollback of the mentioned commit. See issue 61975
Here is a Solution from XDA forum by Xposed and download Version 6.2.0, Android 4.3 or older is well, you can flash older ROM
Enable BATTERY_STATS for KitKat

Hi
Everybody. Please give me a feedback!

I have installed the latest version and as soon as I activated One power guard my phone was rendered useless. The phone instantly rebooted and reboots as soon as I try to do anything. I can't even uninstall the app because as soon as I touch the screen I get a reboot again. I really wanted this to work as it's plain to see the developer has put a great deal of time and hard work into developing this. It may be that I am getting these issues because I am using it on a pretty dated device (Galaxy S i9000) I hope that these issues can be sorted and it proves to live up to it's promise.

Works fine for me, a lot better than Green Power which I used before. No issues so far.
CM 10.2 based ROM on a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE
Wishlist:
- plugin for Locale or Tasker to support automatic change of profiles based on certain conditions
- more in-app information about settings ( http://www.twofortyfouram.com/developer)
- better localization
- allow for I/O-settings, Ril, vm, ... - not just saying that it does something, but tell what exactly does it do. Maybe in settings screen, not the toast message

Could you tell me your OPG version, what ROM you using and the kernel version? be sure to install OPG V3.7.0 or later OPG V3.7.0

First Thank you for your support!
I think 3072K is the best in most of the ROM, Here is an app that it can test sdcard speed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ales.veluscek.sdtools
I usually set to 3072K.
In General, It is easy to consume battery if The speed rate is set smaller.

Do you mean to make a plugin that Tasker can change profiles of OPG? if so. I think this is a good idea.
Some in-app information is writed by blog, Because a lot of information.
Yes. it is very important. This needs some help from enthusiastic users.
OK. I will open some settings source.

I've been using this from the beginning and have always found it a great help. For me, one of the best things about it is that you don't have to be an expect to use it and can learn as you go along. Good to see a pro version out now. I have a question and a suggestion
Firstly, my license file is backed up but when I upgrade my device, is it easily transferable or is it device specific?
My suggestion; I should like to be able to set the app to change profiles at set times automatically, without having to use an external app; is this something you would consider?

1. the license file can be used when you upgrade your device, but they can't be used by other devices. the license files can not be shared.
2. I see. OPG Pro will support as quickly as possible, I was going to release this feature on the 5.0.0 version, but Spend a lot of time in the development of other functions.

I was using UNOFFICIAL Carbon ROM (4.3.1) with Mackay 0.517 Kernel and OPG 3.8.0

Ive been using your app long enough...
I have Xperia Sola....your app makes the system lag slightly on stock rom
but when it comes to cm and aosp....man I have to say your app is mindblowing...
Yes people if you want to boost your battery stand by time.....this is the app!!
5 STARS

Brilliant ! I'll give it a try ! :good:

It appears the app is not saving the settings on stock Xperia Z1 .257 rom... I hope this can be fixed?
But... still loving the app and decided to support it
Keep up the good work!

Hi onexuan,
Bought your app to support your development!
However immediately found some bugs in it v5.0.3:
1. if I set "nothing" in floating window, it will still show on desktop
2. Optimize SDCard in each configuration always minus a few Kb upon saved, eg. in Daily Mode, I saved it at 2072 K (not sure why I can't scroll to 2048, very unfriendly scroll method....) and then saved. The next time I go into Daily Mode, I will find the value to be 2030 K and saved again, the next time I get 2000 K and so on.
3. Why it's always "Not Configured" in other modes (not the one I applied), since I already configured and saved the config. I prefer you have it labeled as "Saved" and the current config to be "Applied". Does this make more sense?
4. When I exit (by keep pressing back), seems like your app won't exit properly, is the foreground app should be close and the "service" should be running in background instead? Just my 2cent.
5. After I upgraded, The "Upgrade" wording still on the left panel, my suggestion is to remove/hide it from paid user, what do you think?
6. Can it auto detect my governor, as I'm using Devil's kernel which does not have say Powersave Gorvernor then I do not know which one I use, can I simply use the default governor of Devil's kernel? Does it have same effect (Powersave, Daily Mode, etc) if not using the recommended Governor?
FYI I'm using it on my Note 2 (N7100) with Supreme ROM v4.0 (JB 4.3 TouchWiz based, deodexed)
Hope my info helps! Thanks in advance! :good:

ESET .. I ignore this

Looks like after the second click I do, anywhere on this app, after setting a mode, the app crashes and freezes the phone, making it reboot.

Engle_Mars KitKat (AOSP 4.4.2) 2014-03-28

KitKat for Motorola Milestone 2 (Android 4.4)
Introduction
I am a android fan and I like it very much (I came from Chinese). I have ported this rom for my ME722 (Milestone 2 China version) and the project is open source. The rom has some nice advancements. I would like you to try my rom and send bugreports to me. I'm a Java / C++ programmer, but i'm not good at hardware therefor some bugs I can't fix. I have submitted some patches for the CM official, but if you can supply patches for this it will be ok. The rom is world wide language support.
(In order to get more effect battery control, I suggest you use my develop screen brightness controller application. You can download from

FAQ
1. The media scan eat up my battery.
The major problem is the SD card has too many files to scan. You can create empty file that is named '.noscanandnomtp' under the folders that you need not to scan. To me, I add this empty file in all folders under the root folder of SD card, except the folder "DICM", 'Audios', "Noticifitions", "Alerm". After do the previous steps, you can find the system speed will very quick and no more battery usage.
2. I can not send SMS.
The problem is happen when you upgrade from other ROM. The SMSC is incorrect make such problem. Please refer to the following page to try to resolve it. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/SMSC_Updates.
3. How can I enable ART
3.1 First, please enter development module. Settings->About Phone->Click the 'Build number' item in seven time. It will show 'Developer options'
3.2 Settings->Developer options->Select runtime, click the item Use ART. Restart your phone is OK.
4. If enable ART cannot enter system how to resolve it.
4.1. WIPE.
4.2. Use adb to connect your phone by following command to set back dalvik and keep all your data
adb shell setprop persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib libdvm.so
I want to trim some language support, please tell me what's your langage usage. Because the system partition is too small to fit for bigger and bigger system

I have been using the rom for a while and I can say It is stable for daily use.
Mobile data ok
Play store ok
gps ok
calls ok (And you can record them with AutoCallRecorder)
No chinesse characters at all
sms ok
camera ok (as told by Engle_Mars)
If you try to use lgcamera the previeww is a horrible split screen, but
photo and videos are taken fine.
Bluetooth Send files ok
Receive files no ok (you receive, but you can't confirm reception od the incoming item)
Handsfree OK
Tethering no ok
Sd card no ok (Is detected by pc but not accessible)
wifi ok
Personal bug:
Clock app fc's all the time, so I can't configure alarm, etc...
I have installed coming from Engle's 10.2 without wipes, so, I have fixed it
by erasin clock app data.
What I miss:
Google Now Activity at the left of the homescreen.
Working emoji and swipe keyboard
To know:
It still uses kernel 2.6.32.9 (3.0.8 is out) and 2.6.0 TWRP (2.6.3 is out)
And maybe Engle_Mars has to change text on updaterscript, because
when you finish installing the rom it says:
"Finished Installing JellyBean for ME722, Enjoy!" instead of
"Finished Installing KitKat for ME722, Enjoy!"
Very good work. Congratulations Mr. Engle_mars

and how about the advantages of CM? Because it is an AOSP rom.. call blocking, ota update, etc?

@Engle_Mars
Regarding camera colors...if they are mixed during preview, then changinig in the [email protected] lines:
*udest++ = src[1];
*vdest++ = src[3];
to
*udest++ = src[3];
*vdest++ = src[1];
should do the trick
PS: Good to see you back

I have installed this rom, but lots of settings missing, which is very good in cyanogenmod... Anyway the performance is very good

I think it's amazing how smooth the system is running.
A few Bugs/Issues I found:
- The taskbar isn't transparent (I don't care)
- When pressing the menubutton or long pressing the homescreen, so the wallpapers and widgetsbuttons appear, the settingsbutton has no effect.
- In the settings there is no button for system and launcher.
- changing the physical keyboard to QWERTZ has no effect.
- the bootanimation is boring but it boots fast
- Pressing the camera button doesn't start the camera
I didn't do a lot of testing, but wow, great work, faster than stock GB.

Hi,
Thanks for your work!
Please add the Brazilian Portuguese (Pt-BR) language if it´s possible.
Regards.

Could anyone mirror it on other server please. I still can't download from yunpan.cn, it downloads only 506kB and breaks connection.
-- Edit
Ok, I've found a solution. For some reason Firefox didnt want to download it, but it seems Download Manager downloads without problems (low bitrate, but works).

I have not noticed more system speed or better battery management than Engles' Cm 10.2 but I have more free ram and other thing...
Bluetooth handsfree device works fine!!!! and if you have Autocallrecoreder installed it also records bluetooth calls!!! Awesome!!!!:laugh:
For being a first release is very good and for me is for daily use. I also miss some improvements of cm but nobody is perfect... I think is good to see Engle_Mars working on AOSP and Czechop working on CM11 so, you have plenty of choice, haven't you?
For those who want some cm apks they can download CyanogenMod App Installer from Google play. The app has the funcionality to download apks and resources from a remote server to your device, and install them as system applications, so you could have:
-Apollo
-Calculator
-Cm file manager
-Torch
-Messaging
-Dsp Equalizer
-Voice+
-News+Weather widget
If you miss notification bar toggles use Notification Toggle.apk from market

I have not noticed more system speed or better battery management than Engles' Cm 10.2 but I have more free ram and other thing...
Bluetooth handsfree device works fine!!!! and if you have Autocallrecoreder installed it also records bluetooth calls!!! Awesome!!!!:laugh:
For being a first release is very good and for me is for daily use. I also miss some improvements of cm but nobody is perfect... I think is good to see Engle_Mars working on AOSP and Czechop working on CM11 so, you have plenty of choice, haven't you?
For those who want some cm apks they can download CyanogenMod App Installer from Google play. The app has the funcionality to download apks and resources from a remote server to your device, and install them as system applications, so you could have:
-Apollo
-Calculator
-Cm file manager
-Torch
-Messaging
-Dsp Equalizer
-Voice+
-News+Weather widget
If you miss notification bar toggles use Notification Toggle.apk from market

For my global is supply original and stable Google System for Milestone2. The system should care about system should do. Other thing just let the application to do and it will do better than ROM. I develop the ROM base on AOSP have two reasons. 1. Decrease the work when upgrade to new system. CM add more and more code that we never have chance to use, this is because our old hardware, for example NFC, FM, HDMI, Multiple SM etc. 2. Some application can do better by integrate in system. The other good thing is czechop and Quarx2K still develop base on CM (new kernel, if it's stable enough, I will merge). If there is any good features of CM that I interest, I will merge it. But now, only the LTO need I merge and I have done. It will include in next version.

Guys, please, could somebody who has already downloaded the ROM, upload it to some other server? It is nearly impossible to download from 360 server. Connection is dropped after a minute or so, and transfer speeds are about 1-2 kB/s. Using download manager doesn't make a difference.

Suggestion: Have no idea if this is possible but maybe include a script to enable apps in the disabler list so we don't have to manually type them all.

That would be much too huge of a list mate.

Any updates forthcoming for this or the HTC/Blackberry ports you mentioned? It's great to have another custom ROM (or Mod or whatever) for us poor Snapdragon/Locked BL suckers and I'm surprised this hasn't received more attention, considering how few choices we do have on that front. (What, this, Stang5litre's ROM, the now-discontinued-I-think EchoeROM and...that's it?)
I'm running it on the US Cellular G935R4 variant and it seems fine (I've had 935V and 935U firmwares on this phone with no issues in the past, so I didn't anticipate any problems anyway). I did hit one early snag when the installer refused to continue due to lack of space - only around 175mb available in /system out of the required 460-some or whatever it is. Once I went back and deleted enough junk to make room, I was basically good to go.
I have noticed the following (non-major) "issues":
1). The Sony apps are almost all "outdated" and will request you to download updates from the Play Store. No big deal, but figured I'd mention it. By and large the apps update smoothly and without any problems...
2). Except for the Xperia Home launcher itself. The bundled version here is 10.2.A.3.0 and works fine, but is missing features like a pull-up app drawer, so you'll probably want a newer build. The launcher doesn't seem to have a built-in update trigger like the other Sony apps though, so you'll need to search it out yourself - only you'll find that the Play Store doesn't think you have Xperia Home installed. If you try to hit Install anyway, it'll download and fail with a 505 error. Solution? What worked for me was loading Aptoide, where I found "Xperia Arc Launcher" listed in my available updates. No idea what the "Arc" version is or what the difference is - it isn't in the Google Play Store as far as I can tell, and my phone still only lists it as "Xperia Home" - but whatever, this one installs and took me to version 11.2.A.0.3. (FWIW, the version in the Play Store that fails to install seems to actually be a bit older than what I found on Aptoide, and is listed as 11.0.A.0.8)
3). The "Album" app requests an update (which can be ignored). The bundled version of Album is 8.2.A.0.8 and seems to work fine. Following the request within the app takes you to the Play Store and installs v8.6.A.0.4, which - at least on my device - attempts to open but always freezes and force closes. I've tried clearing data/cache before/after updating but get the same result. (The update suggested by Aptoide is the same version, so no luck there this time.)
4). Here's a somewhat bigger issue, but this one might very well be isolated to my device - as in mine personally, not the USCC variant - because....I dunno, just seems screwy. The Xperia keyboard isn't working at all. Version 8.0.A.0.100 is bundled. I can see the Xperia Keyboard listed when I click on Manage Keyboards under input settings, but it's greyed out and unselectable. Play Store updates you to 8.0.A.0.110 but same result. Anyway, what seems weird to me is that the Samsung keyboard (which is the one in use) also appears greyed out, leading me to suspect something screwy on my end. Maybe not, I dunno.

Anyway, these are all tiny quirks at worst, I'm just mentioning them to offer a full report/critique. Otherwise this is neat, and I hope there's more in the future, not just from this project but hopefully it will inspire others and remind them that a locked bootloader doesn't mean we can't do *anything* with these devices. Let's see more FlashFire-capable ROMs/Mods/whatever the hell you want to call 'em!
* ETA: So I got the Xperia Keyboard working by just freezing/disabling the Samsung Keyboard, at which point a dialog from XKB instantly popped up asking to download the English-language dictionary pack and the XKB was now default and working fine. I defrosted the Samsung KB and it seems that the Xperia KB is still active and in control for now at least.

Wow thats good. Thank you very much.

Hi, Myself5! Thanks a lot that you still support our device though you have newer devices.

User experiences and issue list for 2019-03-11 Release
First of all, thanks to @Myself5, @rcstar6696 and all other members of the CarbonROM team for the release of CarbonROM 6.1 Oreo for our device! :good::victory:
User experiences with CarbonROM 6.1:
Installation was smooth. I flashed cr-6.1 and OpenGapps ARM 8.1 on top of my working cr-5.1 installation (dirty flash), so all of my apps and their settings were kept. MindTheGapps 8.1.0 arm, which are recommended by the Carbon devs, are also working fine. Keep in mind that there is no guarantee that a dirty flash works in all cases, so you might have to wipe your data partition. This generally is recommended when updating to a new Android version anyway.
Besides of some small issues (see below), everything runs stable and the system is snappy and smooth. Thermal management and charging speed is fine.
Magisk 16.0 works fine, as well as Xposed Framework (SDK 27) v90-beta3 or alternatively Systemless Xposed (SDK 27) v90.1-beta3 Magisk module. However, there are some force-closes of background apps every now and then, caused by the beta status of Xposed v90.
My Xperia Torch Boost Magisk module is still working well on cr-6.1.
Selinux is set to enforcing, just as it was in cr-5.1.
I found out that Android Messages SMS/MMS app has a high battery drain, which e.g. is also reported for Pixel devices on Android 8 Oreo, so a general bug by Google. Because of this, I switched to Textra SMS (of course you can also use one of the other SMS/MMS apps around), which fixes the battery drain.
Improvements in comparison to cr-5.1:
The camera button now acts exactly like in Sony Stock ROMs, so now focussing and taking pictures is possible with Stock Sony Camera. You can also invoke the Stock Sony Camera by long-pressing the camera button, just like in Stock ROMs, but this doesn't work when the device is off or locked. In this case you can use a double press on the power button, which can be enabled in Carbon Fibers settings.
Booting the device is noticably faster than on cr-5.1.
Lower battery drain than on cr-5.1.
Better, more uniform design.
The ROM is being updated to the latest Android Security Patches.
Apps can be "locked" in the Recent Apps, so when pressing the Clean All button, they keep running.
4K video recordings are possible.
Missing features in comparison to cr-5.1:
There is no option to turn on Network Traffic Indicators yet. (This has been added in 2018-04-05 Weekly.)
Default Camera-App does not allow to save photos to sd-card, puts photos in wrong orientation and is all around very limited. However, there are good alternatives like Open Camera and the Stock Sony Camera. (Since 2018-05-01 Weekly, Snap Camera is used again.)
Issues in Carbon ROM 6.1:
Video recording doesn't work yet with the built-in Camera app, as well as with several other apps like Open Camera and the Stock Sony Camera. Until this is fixed, you can use Footej Camera for video recording as a workaround. (This has been fixed in 2018-05-08 Weekly by @AdrianDC and Milos Ratkovic.)
DoubleTap2Wake isn't working yet. (This has been fixed in 2018-04-11 Weekly.)
The SystemUI (Quick Settings etc.) always is shown in white theme. I know that this is Oreo's default design, but it should change to dark theme when using a dark wallpaper. (See @Myself5's reply in post #14.)
The gyroscope doesn't work properly yet with certain apps, e.g. Vr Tester - Gyroscope Sensor App and Accelerometer Gyro Tester. (Obviously this is a bug of those apps or of Oreo in general, since @Myself5 could reproduce it on his Pixel 2 XL device, running on stock ROM. Many other apps that use the gyroscope are working fine on cr-6.1.)
Saving and accessing files on SD card doesn't work for certain apps and tools, which could be a Linux permission or SELinux denial issue. For further information and partial workarounds, see post #45, post #49 and post #51. (This has been fixed in 2018-06-05 Weekly.)
Screen Cast still isn't working for me with 2018-04-11 Weekly (I tested this with a Sony and an LG Smart TV which both connected fine to my Z3c on stock ROMs), even with the new boot image from post #103 which is working with @Myself5's Fire TV stick and Wireless Display Adapter. This has been fixed in 2018-04-17 Weekly.
WiFi isn't working on 5 GHz band in some countries, as has been reported in post #1634 on the Z2 cr-6.1 thread, including links to posts with possible workarounds and fixes. There's also an article in the xda wiki with further information. Since 2018-05-01 Weekly, Germany (DE) is used as Wifi country code, but there have been several reports by users from other countries that this doesn't work for them, so is not an universal fix. As a workaround, until this is fixed, you can use my Magisk module from post #195, which you have to change to your own country code by following the instructions that I gave there. Edit: @marcogiannetta posted an improved Magisk module in post #373 which changes the Wifi Country Code accordingly to the system language. A similar issue (wifi dosent connect in Iran) also has been reported on the bug tracker and is being looked after by the devs. Edit: According to post #2092 on the Z2 thread, this issue can also be fixed by installing WiFi regional problem solver Xposed module.
Music files can't be played from SD card with Vanilla Music, Sony Music and several other players. This issue was fixed in 2018-05-08 Nightly, but reappeared on 2018-05-15 Nightly. Until this is fixed again, you can use jetAudio HD Music Player as a workaround. (This has quickly been fixed again in the 20180515-2340 Weekly build.)
When making a screenshot via the Power menu, most of the time the Power menu itself is visible in the screenshot. There should be a slight delay (just 1/10th second might already be sufficient), so the Power menu is already hidden again before the screenshot is taken. This has been fixed in 2018-07-05 Weekly.
Apps like Netflix, MyCanal and MagineTV don't work because DRM WideVine is not supported yet, whereas in CarbonROM 5.1 it was supported. This has been fixed in 2018-08-15 Release.
Lock screen rotation has been removed since 2018-09-11 Release. It was a useful feature when using the phone in landscape orientation e.g. in a car holder and IMO should be added again. Edit1: As a workaround, I made LockscreenRotationEnabler Magisk module which adds this functionality by adding a setting to 'build.prop'. Edit2: Lock screen rotation can also be enabled with GravityBox [O] Xposed module.
NFC extended length isn't supported, which is needed e.g. for reading identity cards with apps like AusweisApp2. (This has been fixed in 2019-03-11 Release.)
NFC-HCE isn't supported, which is needed for Google Pay. (This has been fixed in 2019-03-11 Release.)
Wish list for some further improvement of Carbon ROM 6.1:
Long press camera button to wake and launch camera app when the screen is off or the phone is locked. Edit: I found a workaround which I described in this post.
A toggle to switch to dark UI theme for quick settings. Edit1: The dark UI theme can be forced with ForceDarkModeOreo Xposed module. Edit2: ForceDarkModeOreo unfortunately is one of the Xposed module which cause random app crashes, so it's not advisable to use it. Let's hope that the devs will add this feature eventually.

About time this one got its own thread, huh

Everything works great, no bugs so far and no problem with camera recording (using Footej Camera), though missing hardware key rebindings and i cant enable power notifications

Downloading right now. Lets see how it compares to Omni 8.1
EDIT (my comment from a few pages later):
After a few days with it, I can say it's already suitable for daily use. Using MindTheGapps (tho I will switch to OpenGapps pico, I don't want Google app ), Magisk 16.
It's smooth and very stable. No crashes or major issues for me so far.
Battery life is acceptable, worse than stock (doh), and perhaps even LOS 14.1. Thermal management and charging speed is fine.
No idea about the camera, mine is broken (HW) and I never use front one.
A few suggestions and comments:
Add some power balancing options like with LOS (better performance or battery life).
Also, I love how you can customize RGB values on LOS to make it more yellowish even during day, plus night light. Any idea what workaround I could use? My blueish screen is killing me and I can't use night light all day.
Good to hear night mode is being worked on.
How to make quick tiles menu like on 7.x? I preferred auto expanding options for mobile data and silent mode. Can't find it in fibers.

Hi, Great that development is ongoing - Thanks a lot!
One thing, got the same problem with the none carbon Oreo Version:
got problems with whatsapp. Video isn't running. The phone doesn't build up a connection. Chat works, but whatssap call or video not.
Skype ist working without problems ...
Any Ideas?
I installed it with a full wipe - system, cache, dalvik, data, internal storage. Used TWRP 3.2 for ROM (to mind error 7) and TWRP 3.1 for installation of MindTheGApps.
Thanks for help!

Thanks for the ROM, working great for me.
I have accidently deleted live wallpaper picker. Tried download a few different versions from the internet but nothing works. Where can I get the one this ROM is using?

FYI: I now posted my first impression and experiences in post #4. I'm planning to update it when new Weeklies arrive or when other users report some issues that are worth listing.
@Myself5: Please have an eye on the missing features and issues that I postet there, so they will hopefully get fixed in the next Weeklies.
Happy Easter to all of you!

It'd definitely be nice to have the dark theme overall. I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I really dislike the white Oreo style. Is it possible to have it look more like Nougat, also in the 'settings' app? I, for one, always loved the color scheme that Goolge made from Lollipop to Nougat.

For things like Networks indicator: Some additional features will surely come with time, as you said.
Video recording: I think it was the Z3 thread where I explained it in detail: The commits to fix Video recording do work (kind of), but are WIP, so we're all working on getting them stable and polished, then they will be merged as fast as possible. When that happens is rough to estimate, I wouldnt expect it to take much longer than 2-3 Weeks though.
DT2W: As you said. Fixed and merged, will be included in the Next Weekly.
For the Dark Theme: Isn't that a Pixel only feature? For that to work you'd need assets for a "dark theme". On Pixel devices those are on the /vendor partition, so obviously not present on our Z3C. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
Thanks for the detailed report, will gladly keep on checking it with followup builds.

It does. Install the Substratum app and flip the switch in CarbonFibers -> Privacy to make it work.
The Switch is disabling the Security measures Google merged in the March ASBs. By default Subs completely removes them, but we decided to go for an opt-in for those that want to use it while keeping the "security" Google intended to have with merging it for those that don't want to.

First off all, thank u for this amazing work! Rom is awesome.
1 - I saw that DT2W is fixed in the next build. It's possible add a feature present in gravitybox? When smartphone is in the pocket, sometimes screen turns on because DT2W. Gravitybox has an option to disable this when proximity sensor is covered.
2 - Someone can tell me if led notification works? Not work here...
Sorry bad English...

Sorry for asking again - anyone using this rom with working whatsapp video oder whatsapp call? When I try it the connection always hang up - no connection. Chat works.
Any idea anyone?
Thanks!

Yes, this is a great additional feature when using DT2W and one of the reasons that I use GravityBox. @Myself5: It would be great if you could implement this feature for those of us who don't use Xposed. In GravityBox it can be found under "Power tweaks -> Proximity wake up" and the additional option "Ignore for incoming call" which is also worth implementing.
2 - Someone can tell me if led notification works? Not work here...

I can confirm that LED notifications are working here, just tested this with missed call (using Google Dialer) and incoming email (using AquaMail).

I don't use WhatsApp, but I guess that the not working video call has to do with the not fully working video recording (see #1 in the issues list I posted here).

Hello All,
I just updated from CR5.1 to 6.1 this day, and tried to install Magisk.
But Magisk Manager failed to update, and if I flashd through TWRP (the good one, 3.1) I'm stucked in Sony logo.
Log said :
"Parsing boot image : [/data/user_de/0/com.topjohnwu.magisk/install/boot.img]
No boot image magic found!
! Unable to unpack boot image
Failed!
! Installation failed"
I have to "install" Magisk uninstaller in TWRP to bring life to my phone
EDIT : magisk 16.0, manager 5.6.4.
Some idea pls ?

Did you try removing all other modules? For me the very same thing is happening if I try to use the fbind (Folder Bind) module. You can try to remove all modules, if u use the Magisk Manager for Recovery Mode (mm).

I tried and :
"No magisk installation found."
So I installed Magisk v16, then installed this one.
I could install mm, this was the only module installed.
I uninstalled mm, rebooted without uninstalling Magisk V16, and the phone booted !
But I can't open Magisk Manager v5.6.4, stucked in the app logo...So Magisk seems to be installed, but I can't use it :/
EDIT : Well, after a recovery reboot, reinstall f magisk V16, phone boot correctly and Magisk is alive.
I don't know how this is working, but it's working.
No doubt, you helped me, many thanks

How stable is this? I would like to install on my Xperia 5 III. Any known issues so far?

I can just speak for the 2019 Xperias:
-BT AAC Codec isn't working actually
-Calls may have no Audio
But that's all on My Bug List. It seems like the latest Versions aren't booting on the Xperia 1 III so it will be the same on the 5 III. But I will help to fix that if People are willed to test around... That's why I'm also on GitHub...

Updated the Thread, MARS_SOMs and GitHub<3

Are you willing to develop a stable version for me? I am willing to donate higher amounts to fund the development. I'm quite tired of the way Sony does their software.
The auto downgrade to 60Hz everytime the phone gets slightly hot. That software feature itself drives me mad from using the phone.

Totally agree with You about the Software since the Z3 (Z3+/Z4). They started a Semi-Public Beta Program to optimize the Firmwares with an Bareboned AOSP. Still lacking a lot of the old famous Featurs like the Mini Apps, Extra Apps, Widgets, Brands like Cybershot, Walkman and so on... It's sad!
I'm really trying to get the best out of it (still). So i will solve the issues asap (next 24hrs).
Let's try to solve the Performance issues right after that!
I splitted My MARS SOMs into 3 Gears. Everything is explained on GitHub. Also updated the Threads and the ReadMe's. Also made huge Progress with My own Overlay. It's a firsty on Android Development (including incredible and tons of Features). Give "Gear Second" and "Gear First" a try for now. It should work fine yet (except for the Audio issues maybe)

Yes thank you for your contributions so far. I will be more than happy to test out once it can be installed. Looking forward to supporting your work by way of finance and feedback.

Are you able to integrate with Franko Kernel Manager?

Thank You very much for Your Support! Really appreciate it! I just updated MARS again and it's free of bugs i think. I just need help to find out why it Bootloops on 2020 and 2021 Devices...

I bought this App too, but do You mean a own Kernel for the Xperias? Or are You thinking about Profiles for the Stock Kernel?

We should be the one to thank you! I will try your new build out and give feedback. Yes i think the Xperia needs s custom kernel or custom profiles at least.
Something is not right with how the stock kernel processes tasks. Games do not get the phone hot. But teamviewer, uber and google maps does for some reason. One other Xperia 5 III owner reported that the Franko Kernel Manager solves this issue. Perhaps we can take reference from this and improve?

The Problems with the Performance should be fixed over the MARS Base SOM. I played around with the Kernel Settings and it doesn't seems to improve stuff further. LMK and ZRAM are the bad Guys at the end. Paired with wrong rendering of certain Apps like Google Maps. Everything of that and more should be improved with My fully working SOMs. I would be glad to make it work on the last 6 Flagships from SONY (Maybe even the Pro Devices). Just need some help with the testing...
Really reached some big Goals the last week or so. Really looking forward to make it 100% stable for everyone. There are also more things planned for our Xperias which are really ambitious...

Hey there. Just managed to install your SOM and test it out for a while. Overall stability is there and performance seems identical to stock.
Just would like to raise some stability issues:
Unable to turn on Wi-Fi on my end so far. Turning it on through notification shade shortcut causes System UI to freeze momentarily and W-Fi goes off after that. Turning it on through settings causes Settings to freeze momentarily and Wi-Fi goes off after that. It doesn't show list of Wi-Fi networks
Screen refresh rate still drops to 60Hz when phone gets warm and there is no way to force change it back to 90Hz or to turn this feature off
Also raising these suggestions:
We have to find a way to improve the time from fingerprint scan to home screen. It has taken too long since the first Xperia 5. Also, pressing the power button and resting finger on the sensor at the same time seems to get to home screen faster. Just resting finger on the sensor without pressing the power button takes a longer time. I think it is something to do with software
Is it feasible to port over Lineage OS or similar?
Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you and supporting your work!

Thanks again for Your detailed Feedback @SPEEDHAMMER ! I have just released another big Update which should improve things further...
I would really like to see You on My Disco rd Server to share more Details about my upcoming work with You!
I'm about to create an Xperia Exclusive OS with many great Features. There are already some people around and I'm sure they would like to see You too!

HUGE UPDATES INCOMING!
MARS will be available over GitHub Releases so You can easily Download ready-to-use Zips of MARS for Magisk. Also included are now OTA Updates for MARS over Magisk and the focus Changed to GSIs again. Use PHH AOSP 12 or PIXEL EXPIERENCE 12 by Ponces to unleash Your Xperias

Excuse me, I've just come back after 3 years of stock ROMs. What is the order of flashing the Pixel Experience? I used to use a custom recovery, but as I see there's no such one for 5 III and I didn't find any instruction. Do I just flash the ROM via "fastboot flash system_b pe.img"?
Now I have a stock ROM with all-working Magisk. Do I need a full-wipe also? There's a GSI flashing after Magisk installation in your general instruction, right?

Thanks for your answer and the tutorial. I went through step 5, but I still don't understand how to flash Pixel Experience .img file (Android 12 GSI (Pixel Expierence ARM64 A/B VNDKLITE) . Should I extract it, use any flasher etc.?

You need the Pixelsystem.img File
Place it next to fastboot and execute:
fastboot flash system_a Pixelsystem.img
Followed by
fastboot flash system_b Pixelsystem.img
Wipe Your Device or it doesnt Boot
fastboot -w
Thats it

Sorry, have the same error during step 5 and during flashing PE. I made a mistake somewhere.
