AOSP 7.1.* Z5 Premium

[Elfmirth]

Present you with a 7.1 .1 Nougat AOSP!

Tested on E6853, released a build for Dual E6883 "NOT TESTED" try at your own risk


Install trough ADB as usual by flashing boot.img system img and userdata.img
(detailed how to in post no.2)

Note:
If you are updating from previous release, flash only system.img if you wanna keep your userdata (you will only loose gapps)

This is pure AOSP.
have tried most of it and everything has been working fine.
Improvments from 7.0:
Camera is working (Not inverted anymore)
Fingerprint is working
Auto brightness works as intended

Known bugs:
AC 5GHz wifi might not work for all.
Fingerprint might bug out for some people.

How to:
In the ADB folder press shift key and right klick with your mouse, choose "Open Command prompt here"
Power off your phone, once it's off, press and hold volume key up, and plugg it in to your PC, now the indicator on the phone sould turn blue, that shows that the phone is in Fastboot mode.
(Check in your device manager that the sony fastboot drivers are installed)
when all that is done, in the command promt type:

fastboot flash boot "drag and drop the boot.img file"

when that is done type:

fastboot flash system "drag and drop the system.img file"

after that:

fastboot flash recovery "drag and drop the recovery.img file"

when all is done type:

fastboot reboot

and your phone will reboot, it might take longer than usual.

If you wanna install gapps and root READ!! and follow this to boot up TWRP.
When phone is booted up, turn it off again enter fastboot mode then:
1.

fastboot [U]boot[/U] TWRP.img

2. On your phone press volume up until you see that you're booting in to TWRP

e6683能用吗，或者说e6653

I've noticed a bug, Wifi AC (5GHz band) doesn’t work with this ROM. i flashed the 3 imgs (Boot, system, userdata) with fastboot, then used the boot.to.TWRP to boot into TWRP and flashed GApps and SuperSU through that.

Tested and played with it for a couple hours. (E6853)

Everything seemed to work flawlessly minus performance being a little on the slow side in comparison to stock Sony Roms.

I didn't notice any issues with the 5ghz as it connected just fine and gave me 351mbps down and 26mbps up.

Im not sure if its 7.1 or an issue with the ROM but i couldn't get SU/Busybox to properly open. It kept FC even after clearing my caches.

(also, i couldnt find the asop.zip you referenced in the OP so i directly flashed all the .imgs directly)

Once we get the performance close to stock, and Camera up to par (its A LOT better, but still lacking features) this will definitely become a daily driver for me!

Lets hope Sony keeps pushing quality uploads to their aosp program!

The speed will improve over time, the first 2-3 hours and 2-3 reboots mine was a bit laggy to, but after installing pixel launcher and playing around for a few hours there is no lag at all and it's just as fast as my HTC 10 (if not faster)
FC on SU I havent had, but then again only used it for 3-4 apps but worked fine with those.
The asop.zip was a typo on my end, have removed it now (was a little to tired)

"Edit" I tried a couple of times now and the only issue I had was cus of bad reception. But then again I dont have AC router only N 5GHz

How did you flash? I tried again, fastboot flashing all 3 images then flashing gapps through the provided twrp, but still no 5G wifi.

 

[Zmallwood]

It's a lot better than the current 6.0.1 ROM I was previously using. RAM usage was cut down by half, battery life is pretty phenomenal and everything is butter smooth. I had some camera issues in the past where the z5p could never focus on anything.

All fixed with AOSP 7.1, making it my daily driver

 

[KbaB.BroS]

Great ROM, but I have some issues with fingerprint. I added them during the initial setup and now they don't work after I rebooted once, so I tried to remove and add new fingerprints but the system freezes when I try to delete them. anybody else with same issues?

Hmm, haven't had that issue, but I never added fingerprint during setup, only added it after setup.

Hmm that is wierd.

Im building a new rom atm, updated to 7.1_rev7 (from rev6) so hopefully it will fix some issues. Will be uploaded tonight if all goes well, and will upload for e6883 as well.


How is battery life for everyone? I had some massive drain on 7.0 but have had almost 3 days on one charge here (mostly standby)

Battery life is much better than Sony stock ROM and everything based on it, easily lasts me one day which is what I need. Light usage keeps the phone alive for more than two days.

@Elfmirth from which stock FW version did you come from? from my experience fingerprint and other issues happens when I try flashing ROMX over a different FW than it was based of so the 5G WiFi and fingerprint might be a cause of this.

The first FW I started out flashing from was 32.1.A.1.163. Then I flashed AOSP 7.0 and after that AOSP 7.1
