Thanks for the rom, but where is the download? All I see is the download page for TWRP

 

[tonystark88]

Still uploading. I will advice you when finishs. Anyway its a testing ROM...not for daily use.

 

[iSpammer]

Does this has any problem with battery draining more than the stock rom? because this problem existed in my old ? z1 and i can't find anything related to the camera, so am asking if is it working? and any chance of porting z4 camera framework so we can use superior auto in this rom? Thanks in advance

 

[tonystark88]

I think is a bit premature make these kind of discussions now. When i'll make this rome stable (now it's a test build, have some reboot problems probaby lrelated to thermanager config) we can face more problems. But don't worry, any problem/idea will be faced at right time.

 

[alby_var]

Awesome! Thank for your work!

 

[lordgamma]

put more SS please...
WiFi not working???About Sound too??
And This is Android M or Android LP???

 

[alby_var]

CyanogenMod 12 is based on android 5.x so that means this rom is lollipop

 

[tonystark88]

I'm waiting for the upload because the rom boot loops for a thermanager problem. Anyway i have fixed also sensors. I'm not able at this moment to offer more infos because rom boot loops. When i fix the thermanager config and rom will be stable i could be more detailed. I'm sure that RIL and 3g connection works. Wifi powers on but not reveal available Wi-Fi but i think is a configuration problem too.

Let me work guys, we are so close

 

[Deathmake]

Great news. Thanks God for You.Good Luck and we will wait for results

If you can force enable adb and upload the rom I'm sure that we can send you logcats to find the problems. Also, could you upload the new TWRP that is mentioned in the OP?

Hi, under GPL v2 license you are required to link a copy of the kernel you used, otherwise, would be in violation of the license. Thank you.
I have taken a look at your source, would it be possible if u rebuild it with Sony's Unified Kernel? Thanks!

I'm not violating anything, i'm not reselling or forcing someone else. I don't understand all this pressure, you have all the informations you want now, you saw my sources. The kernel is the same published from sonyxperiadev. I have to fork it to my page to be in rule with GPLv2? I don't think, i think is useless.
If you want that i publish my sources (already unstable) on the first page, i don't see the problem, i will do it.

Also, i see this discussion only a waste of time that i subtract to my work.

It's not out of nothing, cos ur sources must be able to build. You changed one of the defconfigs to cyanogenmod_blablabla so you have to fork and make the changes on ur end as well. Hope u understand

It's the temp .config file generated when u build the kernel. I renamed it and used because differently from the asp defconfig is formatted well.

I see no problem here especially since Sony hasn't exactly released the kernel code. There is no reason to be so distrustful. Heck he hasn't even released the rom yet so what are you complaining about. Please don't take offense. He is just trying to further this community

Supports developers, do not lock their work

I don't understand this mentality of 'Let the dev work and do his thing' and saying that he should be given space to himself to work and build CM12 for The M4 Aqua. As it stands, you all don't know what Open Source Means. The M4 Aqua is in a state where much dev work is needed and all you guys do is hamper the speed at which developers can build ROMs for you. Without Kernel Source code and all LOCAL modifications uploaded, other devs can't jump in and help out to build for the M4 Aqua. I work mainly in the Xperia SP Forums and when the Xperia SP got released, it barely had any source code given by SONY but now we're at CM13. CM13!!!! From a 2012 device to 2015 we have gotten CM13 while YOUR M4 Aqua is stuck at even building CM12! All the Xperia SP had going for it is the AMAZING DEV support with SO MUCH OPEN SOURCE CODE that we all learnt to share. We keep the credits individual to commits and we all gave credits which were due in every rom we built.

If I can't build the ROM with what you say uses the original sony kernel source code, then this ROM is violating GPL code. I will be back soon to test the results and see if it does indeed build and churns out the exact bugs reported. If you are unable to handle even a small request that Boylush has said and say that you're already stressed out due to ONE MEASLY request then there seems to be something wrong.

Those of you who have absolutely no developer experience I would advise you to refrain from trying to defend your individual parties and let this be easily settled by simple building on my end.

 

[tonystark88]

I don't like these kinds of reasoning about me and about my work only because in two months other people aren't been able to boot nothing, also a recovery. This is the last time i will respond to you because this is a DEV topic, and here will be DEV things.

The M4 Aqua is in a state where much dev work is needed and all you guys do is hamper the speed at which developers can build ROMs for you. Without Kernel Source code and all LOCAL modifications uploaded, other devs can't jump in and help out to build for the M4 Aqua.

I repeat this thing again, all my sources are public. Just see the first page of this topic. And also, all sources are open on sonyxperiadev and are a intellectual property of Sony. All the LOCAL modifications are on my github page, in the commit area. Just click and see.

We keep the credits individual to commits and we all gave credits which were due in every rom we built.

And i'm happy for the Sony XPERIA SP, this means people work together. In the case of Sony M4 Aqua i just saw topics that bumps out after i started to develop, also if only the recovery, for this device. No one sent me a message for say, "Tony let's work together".

If I can't build the ROM with what you say uses the original sony kernel source code, then this ROM is violating GPL code. I will be back soon to test the results and see if it does indeed build and churns out the exact bugs reported. If you are unable to handle even a small request that Boylush has said and say that you're already stressed out due to ONE MEASLY request then there seems to be something wrong.

I'm not stressed, i feel great thanks And again no one ROM violates the GPL license. Simply because there isn't yet on the site and will not be until will complete boot correctly. And about the request, i responded yet. I have to repeat that i used the same kernel published by sonyxperiadev site WITHOUT MODIFICATIONS ?

Those of you who have absolutely no developer experience I would advise you to refrain from trying to defend your individual parties and let this be easily settled by simple building on my end.

Probably in the ROMS world this sentence is true. But i'm a graduated ICT Engeneer and i worked in past in Android. Maybe i know a little bit of devel things, and i say "a little bit" because i know i can do it, and i not let you and others to offend me without know who i am.

CONCLUSION
Without me, the unexperienced, this device today has a working recovery and i hope for ALL THIS COMMUNITY a working CM12.1 . And i repeat again this thing: THE SOURCES ARE PUBLIC ON MY GITHUB AND ON THE SONYXPERIADEV GITHUB. I'm not blocking the work of anyone and i will be happy if someone else will make the rom work better and efficiently than mine. I will learn where i failed from the other devs commits, like i always did.

I hope is more clear my point of view now to avoid future noisy discussions.
