[JerryLaiHMmmmmm]

AOSP 7.0 For Xperia Z5 DUAL (Abandoned currently)
Hello guys,
It takes a long time for Sony devs to add the support the dsds variant, but it's finally coming
Now I've built the AOSP 7.0 for Sony Xperia Z5 Dual.

Currently working:
*Dual Sim support
*GPS
*Bluetooth
*SMS
**Newly solved : SD card detection credits to @HaoZeke

Currently NOT working:
+Camera (Well, it's kinda work -- Sharp focus but inverted)
Current status: Broken
+Fingerprint(Sometimes doesn't work)


Supporting devices:
Currently tested on E6683, not sure about E6633.
Don't try it on other devices.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE back up you data ( including sd card) before flashing...

***UPDATE:
For recovery, download this and flash using fastboot. Then flash Gapps, and the device will be ready to use as daily driver.

Procedure to get it working:
1. Unlock the bootloader
2. install adb and fastboot on your computer (Can be found easily on Google)
3. open the command windows
4, Type: fastboot -S 256M flash boot /replace with your own route/boot.img
5, Type: fastboot -S 256M flash system /replace with your own route/system.img
6, Type fastboot -S 256M flash userdata /replace with your own route/userdata.img
7, Type fastboot flash recovery /replace with your route/recovery3.0.2.img
8, Flash opengapps in the recovery
9, You're all set

****Make sure to do a full wipe before flashing the ROM.****

Please do not expect updates because I built the ROM only by exactly syncing the repo created by Sony dev. I'll update the ROM asap if there are any update in the official repo.

Sorry for bad English
Press the thanks button if you found it useful!

Rom boots fine on E6633 but the sim cards don't work and camera doesn't even open.

For SIM Card I really don't have a clue.... It works well on my phone. I'm sorry that I can't help because I'm not a developer.

Camera can be opened by enabling the 23MP mode in settings -> extended settings -> disable the 8mp mode.

You have E6633? and the sim card works?
Please tell me exactly the steps you sued to install it.

I have a E6683, as stated in op.
The steps is full wipe-> install imgs by fastboot.

Oh ok. Op said he wasnt sure about E6633 but it seems that sim support still doesn't work on it.
I have been dying to have aosp on my dual E6633 but all roms don't support dual sim e6633 .

Just tried it on my E6683 DSDS
- did a clean format of all partitions
- flashed 4 imgs via fastboot
- booted nicely
- lost everything on my phone memory
- no SD card detected anywhere
- Camera does'nt even start
- SIM functions are OK

Thanks for the brilliant work... Have you perhaps asked one of the senior devs about the SD card thing...? That's the only thing keeping from jumping this as daily driver.....

Sorry everyone, but these days I'm really busy with my homework and tests... So I won't be able to update the rom that often.
But relax, I'll dig deeper into it later and I WON'T GIVE UP THIS ROM.

Hey, I don't know if this is relevant but the SD card detection problem is because the precompiled kernel which is in the sony repos is built for the E6653 not E6683, which has it's kernel configuration set up here....

[HaoZeke]

E6683 Kernel.

Hey I just compiled the kernel for the e6683 from source and updated the bootimage...
This fixes the SD Card issue...
Also, a word of warning; flashing userdata wipes the internal SD card as well....

Good work! Would you mind if I use this boot image as default in my OP?

Sure you can I'd be honored if you mention me there too

Thanks for the rom. Great work.

Both the sim cards work. Data Works. Wifi Works.
Camera opened the first time and was able to take photos. But never opens again.
I have rooted it. No problems there. Adaway does not work though. Cant update hosts file.
Most of the times the rom is butter smooth, but there is occasional stutter.
Bluetooth works. NFC works. Bluethooth audio works.
External SD card works. Thanks to @HaoZeke.

The camera seems hit and miss. I read somewhere that the stock camera "jams" the device so don't use it. Usually and oddly, whatsapp's internal camera opens in a few tries...

 

[ganeshbiyer]

Damn the camera! This is my daily driver.

Footej camera (front camera works)

is there any possibility of another update for this ROM in near future ???
