Progress is being made many of the bugs are beginning to get fixed

Oreo roms that maybe created:
Lineage 15.1 (highly likely)
Nitrogen Os (by me and @ReversedPosix)

Bugs fixed in oreo generally:
Sound
Rild
Sim card ---->

@Quantumkk123

you already got the ROM hooked up ?

please upload somewhere & write me a PM so I can take a look at it,

currently busy so kernel has to wait

 

[QuantumShqipe]

Atm I think @zacharias.maladroit is reviewing the rom looking to edit the kernel so this rom can work on our phones I think also a few things need to be edited but yeah we might have an unofficial oreo Rom for the z5 and it will be the first

 

[balrajs99]

@Quantumkk123 top work! By seeing the features you listed, is this rom based on AOSP but with stock oreo things? :silly:
@zacharias.maladroit take your time. We just want this to work without irritating you guys. Nobody will ask for ETA. :silly: :highfive:

 

[QuantumShqipe]

@balrajs99 to be honest Bro thank @zacharias.maladroit for telling me the similarities that Xperia x and z5 had in common however I figured out Machao_44 makes his rom differently to the newer ones (easier to modify) the only difference between this rom and the Xperia x is meta inf replaced with z5 along with ftf and build.prop see I tried the exact same thing with z3 + and successfully ported the z5 rom to it by changing the same things. However we don't know yet if zacharias.maladroit kernel can make rom boot or infinite boot loop we don't know but yeah that's everything and your most welcome I want this rom as much as you guys do.

At first glance this definitely looks nicer, the issue might be in the details though :silly:

Thanks

So @zacharias.maladroit whats happening how much of this rom needs to edited to fully work and how is the kernel doing?

that'll get you an idea:

kernel-side:

bluetooth might be a problem, we need sdcardfs, our SoC/processor might lack certain parts that are necessary for functions of the ROM (DCC "MSM data capture and compare engine" and others),

binder needs updating,

display driver (?),

matching gpu driver (kernel-side) & adreno blobs (ROM-side)

we might need different kernel modules built for the ROM & subsystems might require rework (see attached list of kernel modules)


ROM-side:

modem needs to be replaced (M-ROM 2.4.8 by nreuge has those files in system/etc/customization/modem ),

ril / qcril might need work

wlan (system/firmware/wlan/bcmdhd) firmware might need to be replaced with ours

system/etc/wifi/wifi_txpower.conf might need modification

system/compatibility_matrix.xml might need changes

where is system/etc/mixer_paths.xml ? => system/vendor/etc/

system/vendor/lib{64}/{egl} adreno related libs need to be checked out - the driver most probably won't work with kernel-side

fingerprint & nfc libraries need to be evaluated [later]

msm_irqbalance, thermal, etc. all crucial subsystems and configurations need to be double and triple-checked before even attempting to put it on the device.

[I got a terrifying moment today while modifying MHL driver and got strange noises out of the phone & speaker - better safe than sorry]


That's only a first (and most likely incomplete) pass through the ROM files

So @zacharias.maladroit I am guessing their is a lot of work to be done well just asking how long will this take is it possible you are able to do all these modification yourself or do you need help from other devs? If you are able how long will It take I can also help out but not today or tomorrow busy with exams lol

No ETA, I'll defer work since I need to focus on personal affairs right now, I can do some random kernel development (or rather: have to since this gives me my occasional "fix") but that's about it ... at least for now

I've pointed out the important points that need work but won't be able to do anything right now since other things need my full attention at the moment

edit:

to answer you question:

yes, help definitely would be appreciated and is required,

I won't do this on my own - since the M-ROM 2.4.8 variant for now is enough that I ask for, I'm mostly focusing on kernel work to get an optimum of performance, stability, security vs. battery runtime,

perhaps @GreyLeshy and additional folks/devs/users like @trax7 have interest in taking a look at this ...

 

[QuantumShqipe]

OK welll thanks for all your help we all really appreciate it @zacharias.maladroit hopefully other devs can fix what needs improving as you have thankfully told us and they can fix it and maybe when you have more times on your hands you can fix everything

 

[QuantumShqipe]

Great so to all devs out there who own Z5 of course please contribute and help make the first oreo Rom I will make.sure you get pointed out credits if you help Bro @enesstastim and others as well

We also need to document each and every step and what modifications are necessary so that others can easily reproduce

First and foremost:

what ROM base did you use ?

(MaChao_44) Xperia XP V1.1.5(Android O).zip ¹

or

(MaChao_44) Xperia XP V1.4(Android O).zip ²

?

(I'm guessing the first one but not sure)

thanks to @turnout96 for helping out with the download & upload

 

[QuantumShqipe]

Version 1.4 @zacharias.maladroit

 

[zacharias.maladroit]

Version 1.4 @zacharias.maladroit

Oh good, cause I accidentally compared your mod with that ROM

Only was wondering because a few files were differing that weren't obvious

 

[QuantumShqipe]

@zacharias.maladroit oh lol so the changes won't be as different as you thought?

 

[zacharias.maladroit]

@zacharias.maladroit oh lol so the changes won't be as different as you thought?

They are just like I wrote before - but just with a few additional files less to worry about

still pretty difficult - this needs quite a few experienced devs to do it (or quite some learning by doing ...)

 

[danielschauer99]

Would it be possible to use some of the drivers (gpu for example) from roms of other devices?
The OnePlus 2 has the same Snapdragon 810 SoC and there are some Oreo roms available already.
Maybe merging parts of the X and OP2 rom could help?
I dont have any experience modifiying aosp, so if Im worng, just ignore my thoughts.

brothers anyone screenshot this rom thanxxxxxxxx
