I am working very hard, it's hard to make AOSP when Sony didn't release their vendor blobs

So have you tried it , otg ?

Thanks for the great work.
I will flash and check it out tommorrow.

Thanks for releasing the rom . Would this rom possibly work on other firmwares and variants, and is adb force enabled? I'll test the rom when I get home in 3 hours

It already boots, so force adb isn't needed anymore. And yes, I think it should work on other variants as well.

report it

Btw, flashing it on an other model isn't really tricky, if it doesn't work you can just unbrick

Flashing is not the problem, but force enabling adb would be nice if there are problems with setup or touch

 

[LFSPovo]

Good work as always! I will try it soon

 

[ardentis]

Okay here's my report.
1) WiFi appears to work fine
2) Sound does not work
3) Camera does not work and neither does the camera button
4) Rotation does not work
5) Browser fails to download anything so I cant install apps
6) There is no file manager
7) Everything looks fine so far
Good work! But another thing is that I didnt realize that installing this rom would wipe my data. That would have been nice to know

Now when I go to TWRP to flash a new zip or restore a backup, it says there is no OS installed.
It seems that this isnt an issue anymore but it was weird.
Nope nevermind. Everytime it tries to boot up, I see the same boot screen as I saw with your rom. This is just getting weirder and weirder...
I figured it out Im totally fine. Sorry if I scared anyone during this adventure.

i tried on E2363 (26.1.B.2.129), it boots and then boot loops, it get to Android is starting, optimizing 1 of 64 and boot loops.
is it possible to create a 16Gb userdata.img (i think its 12213813248 bytes), just a request.

Hmm, probably the rom won't work on your model.
I can make a 16GB userdata, yeah.
But first let me fix the most bugs (Random reboots, Ril, Bluetooth)

After that I fixed those I will surely make a 16GB userdata.img

A new build should be up in max. 3 hours.
I don't know if I fixed stuff, but I tried it

I will update the op(First post) once my tester tested it.

The problem with the browser is caused by the permissions of Android 6.0

New build

The new build takes quite long, much longer then the previous ones.
But I am afraid that it's up within some hours (Max. 8, I think maybe next hour)

Anyone who wants to help testing,
Message me on Telegram : +31642056201
Message me on Hangouts : [email protected]
or Pm me (I don't like pm because you are not talking the way you do on the others)

Thanks for your support

work on e2333 dual???

Try it by yourself, it isn't too difficult to unbrick it

A 16gb userdata.img would be good for the 16gb devices. I'm not exactly sure but I think that the 8gb userdata.img limited my storage but unfortunately I can't fix it in TWRP. Diskinfo lists 16gb but Storage settings list only 8gb. Also do you mind if I text you over SMS and what timezone are you in?

I need to pay for sms, so I'd rather like to use whatsapp or telegram.
Ps, what theme are you using. I'm loving it
