Hi all,
I recently updated to AICP coming from stock rom.
Unfortunately I'm experiencing massive accudrain.
Today about 6% in 1 hour having the phone lying next to me doing nothing (not even unlocking the screen).

Is anyone having the same problems?
Current build is aicp_amami_n-12.1-NIGHTLY-20170511.

Regards

I have the problem too, the battery depletes fast. It got somewhat better after I disabled "start at boot" and "run in background" for a bunch o programs and also enabled "data saver". Unfortunately I don't know much more to help.

Thanks alecs, I will try some of your advices. Hopefully the issue is getting better when updating the ROM.

camera is still blurry when in focussing the camera and take a picture it waits till the blurry comes out then it snap a picture and still blurry ihope this weekly build we have a better camera

Camera for Z1C is the same for all rooms after LP, since there was never an official update after that. This is the fault of Sony not releasing updated files, not the fault of the rom

Hi guys,
I have an idea how we could solve the camera issue. I've found a phone, called Wileyfox Storm, which has the same camera sensor (Sony IMX220) as the Z1C. And as far as I know, this Wileyfox phone has completely working nougat rom. Here is the device tree sources, if someone can use it to build the camera part of it, with our Z1C's kernel: https://github.com/PureNexusProject-Mod/android_device_wileyfox_kipper

Is there a place to set a bounty for the battery and connectivity problems? This is the only thing I could find related to Amami development: https://github.com/sonyxperiadev . I would pay say 20 EUR to use this phone at least one more year.

I find this situation underwhelming: after only two years Sony stopped updates and we're left with a random combination of security bugs in the Android/Linux kernel combination. At the same time it seems Sony don't do much to help independent efforts.

There are created issues on the kernel repo but Sony doesn't care and the help is not really helpfull.

You can answer with your donate offer maybe it will help.

CHANGES (READ THIS BEFORE FLASHING!):
=====================================
YES. AICP is going to build rootless builds.
This change will happen during a short period of time.
I could explain the decision for that,
but that would not be understandable for all users, so I put it this way...
Going rootless means that the ROM will NOT come with any Root or SU built in anymore.
There will be no Magisk - as a built-in root solution - be provided when the user flashes the ROM zip file.
What you will have to do (if you don't do it by now):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You will have to flash a root solution of your choice (lineage-su addon, SuperSU or Magisk) by yourself after the ROM.
I will link the appropriate solutions here in this post.
REMEMBER:
First flash the ROM, then your desired root solution!
This MUST also be done on every dirty flash to ensure root is not lost!
This MUST be done when using the OTA app too! Just add the "root" zipfile after the ROM!
What will be noticeable to the user:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. We had to cut out some features for getting this done. Those are:
a. The SELinux switch in the dev options is gone for now.
This can also be done by other apps, if necessary.
b. The feature to flash another bootanimation from AICP Extras is gone.
You can still use a flashable ZIP from TWRP or Substratum.
c. The built-in logcat feature in AICP Extras will be gone.
Most users did not use it either as it only can store max. 400KB.
We already advised to use Catlog or Syslog Apps (both free on Play store).
Remember that both need root!
d. The built-in "System app remover" will be gone, as it required root to run.
2. You will not see Magisk Manager in the app folder, of course.
3. Remember that without a root solution some other apps e.g. Kernel Audiutor will also not work.
Whatever you choose. Lineage SU options are in dev options in settings. The others use separate Apps.
Links to tested root solutions (download from the thread):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Magisk (remember that v12 need the Manager to be flashed separately. v13 will have it buildin the flashable ZIP:

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589
SuperSU (Use whatever works for you, stable or beta):
https://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703
https://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

https://download.lineageos.org/extras
-> the removal zip is available here too.

    AICP
    Android Ice Cold Project

    AICP is known by everyone as the "Ice Cold Project" that started on a Desire HD years ago and since then evolved into a mature ROM with the BEST community you can find!!!

    Until Lollipop, the Rom has always been based on AOKP. Unfortunately, since AOKP stopped development (but made a comeback later), we changed our base to CM when it comes to hardware, drivers and some features.
    With the rebrand of CM to LineageOS (LAOS) we are now actually LAOS based with some tweaks from AOSP.

    If there are any bugs, either we will sort them out or LAOS team, if it concerns their code base. This rom isn't LAOS supported, so no need to report errors or bugs to them!!


    Code:
    #include <std_disclaimer.h>
    
    /*
     * Your warranty is now void.
     *
     * We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
     * thermonuclear war or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
     * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
     * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
     * you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you. Hard & a lot.
     *

    Latest Stable Release Version 12.1

    Download link: http://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/?device=amami
    No more official Nougat support since focus shifted to Oreo! You can still get my unofficial Nougat builds here:
    https://basketbuild.com/devs/SpiritCroc/amami/AICP-n7.1


    changelog.png


    Full Changelog link: http://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/?device=amami

    Google Apps:
    Beans gapps
    Or
    Open GApps (ARM or ARM64 7.1 pico or nano, depending on your phone's architecture)

    issues.png


    If you experience a black screen in some apps (e.g. in Youtube or in camera app), please go to Developer options and enable "Disable HW overlays". Alternatively, you can also add a quick setting for this setting after having enabled developer settings. This setting is not persistent, so you will have to set it after each boot!

    Reboot to recovery not working

    You tell... :p


    instructions.png


    The ROM should contain everything you need to enjoy Android Nougat. You don't need to install any Add-Ons, simply download the latest ROM, GApps, flash it and go!
    If you want the device to run the ROM "rooted", you can flash a root solution of your choice after the ROM Zipfile.

    It is STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing, and if possible avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup as this can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug.
    If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience any strange behavior.


    How to flash:

    (Again: Don't do it if you don't know it!)

    Make sure you have real recovery!
    Download the ROM and GApps and transfer them to your device
    Boot to recovery (TWRP recommended)
    Wipe system, Cache, data and ART/Dalvik cache
    Flash ROM Zipfile
    Flash/Install GApps (optional, needed for e.g. Google Playstore to work)
    Flash/Install the root solution of choice (optional)
    Reboot to system

    The ROM has GApps persistance in between dirty flashes, so you only have to flash them once!
    The root solution should be flashed together with every OTA update (= ROM Update)!



    Supported root solutions:


    Magisk v13.x

    SuperSU - stable and beta available (Site by CCMT that took over the the marketing from chainfire)
    SuperSU - direct download link for the latest SuperSU directly from the dev (chainfire)

    Lineage SU-addon (check your needed version: 14.1 arm or arm64) -> the removal zip is available here too.


    PREREQUISITE FOR OTA:
    To be able to flash using the buildin OTA app that needs TWRP recovery installed to work.
    You can still use LAOS recovery and OTA app, but you will need to download the zip file and flash it manually from within your recovery. Zip gets saved in the "AICP_ota" folder on your internal storage.
    Please be sure that you are on the latest TWRP recovery.

    New test build with 3.4 kernel up!

    Issues:
    - Missing splash logo
    - Sepolicy is permissive
    - Reboot to recovery not working
    - Possible black screen
    - Camera connection problems
    - ???

    + Stock binaries, much better camera than before :), performance and battery probably better too (needs testing)

    It's a test build, has some issues and is probably not ready for daily use, so make a backup before trying out
    12
    WiFi issue fixed.
    New test build is up; if no severe bugs are found, next official build will be based on 3.4 kernel!

    6.0 New rom link!
    Quite long time very silent here. Does anybody know, if or when we might(!) see a progress for amami?
    Since the bugs reported here I'm sticking to an old mm build from 19. Sept..

    1) Can we see, if there is hope for a android 7 N build with a working camera or an last update on the Android 6 MM tree?
    2) Independent I love the AICP builds, does anyone has a hint for an rom >5.1 e.g. lollipop with a decent working camera?

    Camera is getting better, currently downloading new binaries to see how much improvement they bring.
    Didn't upload a new build yet because progress is slow and probably nobody except for me would use it yet either way.
    I also plan on updating 6.0 once more if/when the camera fully works again.
