Android 7.0 Nougat Supported

[Assimmad]

Hi guys,

I have an Xperia Z1 Compact. I'm wondering if it will be able to run the new Android 7.0 Nougat from the hardware requirements perspective.

Thanks.

I am 99% sure that as far as hardware is considered Z1C can run Android 7.0 Nougat. Anyway, there is still no stable 6.0 ROM, so I am afraid that in the following months the 7.0 won't be available for our device.

I believe AOSP 6 by freexperia is entirely stable and bug-free.

This thread has a few 6.0 ROMs that sound promising (I haven't tried any yet).

Sony published a guide to made a Nougat based custom rom, I think its for Z3 but not sure. Maybe can help us, specially to developers. That's the link to tutorial

Unfortunately qualcomm has said that it wont relase gpu drivers for 7.0 for snapdragon 800 and 801.
So i think our device wont run; android 7.0 so soon but, with time we will se what will happen.

Doesn't that only mean, that we won't have the kernel which is officially used with Nougat? I think we can still use a MarshMallow kernel. It lacks Vulkan support, but OpenGL still works, right?

edit: Here is some more information about this problem. Looks like it's not that bad. Official work ended because the compatibility tests would have failed anyway, but we can still build custom rome.

edit2: Yay, there's already a petition for that matter.

Woah we got android v 7.0 already?

You can call me old fashioned but I'm still happy on 4.4.4 where everything just works.

Yes, you're old-fashioned... However, I must admit that I spent a few days with CandyKat last week just because I knew how good it was, way, way back then, in 2015. (I also am refusing to let go of my Tesla LP backup, yet).

Alright, now we"ve got the instructions and the binaries. Well, more or less. It says "please download Android 6.0.1" right after each link to the binaries, even in the row of the Z5. Anyway, they updated the binaries, I guess we could at least give them a try...

edit: They did not include the latest Adreno driver blob. They included the january/2016 release, but there's also a june/2016 release.

Has any1 tried that build yet?

Yep. Seems fast, but camera doesn't work, and I couldn't get Google play services to work (didn't make that much effort though). Reverted to stock.

You can have that option enabled on any rom but that will mean there is always going to be a battery drain because that feature will be software based and it stops device to go in deep sleep mode,for example lg has that option but its hardware based and so it does not have any battery drain and feature is useful.
I hope i have cleared that.
