AOSP d5803 Nougat 7.1.1_r25 NOF27B - OMS7 rootless

[mcgi5sr2]

A thread to contain all testing and comments on the AOSP based ROMs built for the Sony Aries (d5803) Z3 Compact using the Open Devices device trees. The Dev work is that of the Open Devices Team.

Current up to date ROMs include AOSP Nougat 7.1.1 (/w GApps)

I am happy to attempt other builds an versions if people will use them. I make these builds regularly for my own personal use, but through I would share the awesome work done by the Sony AOSP project team with the xda Z3 Compact community

Most files will require you to remove the first line the updater script.
I recommend using twrp 3.0.2 to flash as I find 3.0.2-1 sometimes fails

What are the current bugs for Android Nougat?

What are the current bugs for Android Nougat?

Current issues on Nougat are camera quality is low, and video recording is non functioning. As far as I can test everything else seems to work very well. I am currently interested in the in call volume, as I am testing a simple fix for making it dynamic again.

Update
In call audio is still static, and their is still echo for the person on the other end of the line

Did you use the new camera blobs?

Yes, he uses the latest blobs, but camera blobs still have a looong way to be improved.

How about battery life ? I want to know while sleeping.
My z3c is 0.2-0.5%/h while device is sleeping on marshmallow rom (slimm rom).

How do you Install this? The zip contains a cpgz.

 

[mcgi5sr2]

Flash through recovery. I am building 7.1 tonight for more testing. Battery life so far is more than a day for me, but will obviously vary depending on usage. I would suggest people suck it and see.

That should be a bug caused by the Google app. Just disable Google Now completely (the voice activated module, to be precise), and you should be fine. The same thing bugged me for days when I bought the phone...

I just installed, and in 30 minutes went from 85% battery to 20% , NFC kept toggling on and off by itself.
for me:
* nfc keeps toggling on and off
* camera keeps FC
* SD card unusable
* maybe its a new gesture or swipe but i cannot open the notification / quicksettings panels

mileage may vary!

thanks for doing this and i'll be checking the 7.1 build as well

After reinstalling things went a lot smoother:
Current problems I found in aosp_d5803-ota-eng.mcgi5sr2-N5D91L-20161127 :

* phone crashes and reboots during phone calls
* other person hears its own echo while calling or being called
* camera works seldom; really low quality and force closes a lot
* no flashlight (probably related to camera)
* sometimes phone will not enter in deep sleep due to a QC usb wakelock (battery life still 1 day )
* battery percentage sometimes drops at around 50% to 10 but recovers later to ~50%

Thanks for feedback for lkzy I'm glad the second flash had better results. Could you include what Rom you are using in your posts plz.

Downloaded, going to install today. I'll give some feedback tomorrow. What gapps package is included in AOSP?

Allright, just did,

also the phone crashes and reboots when I call someone after ~5 minutes.

For people updating from Lollipop, TWRP will restore your backup, but it will endlessly show boot-animation. I read in the dev-only kernel topic this might have something to do with a wrong filesystem of the appslog partition.. I do not know how to fix or change this though, so I'm now stuck on nougat as daily driver. it aint bad, but the calling crash kinda breaks the phone

So far works nice, I'm on aosp_d5803-ota-eng.mcgi5sr2-N5D91L-20161127
Camera is really low quality, but doesn't crash. Video recording and FM Radio don't work. There are some small animations lags sometimes. I haven't had any longer calls yet, but Phone works well. Not sure about sound quality.
Can I use standard TWRP and flash SuperSU on it?

The newest TWRP works fine, I'm using phhs superuser which works. Don't know about supersu, but I'm guessing it'll work just fine

How am I supposed to install TWRP? After flashing 3.0.2.1 through Flash tool system doesn't boot. Will it work after flashing through ADB?

I flashed through adb, that worked for me.
@mcgi5sr2
I was unable to flash 20163011 btw. it gives a error patching system and stops.
