[Discussion] AOSP Build Android 7.0

[aksme707]

Hi all,

Am a noob when it comes to building/developing ROMs. Sony just shared this:

Build AOSP Nougat 7.0 at http://developer.sonymobile.com/build-aosp-nougat-7-0/

Nowhere does it mention Yuga. So my question being can we use the procedure listed on that link to build for Yuga?

The Second good news today at morning. On Other Website has a Modder Port Nougat to Nexus 4 with same Soc. I think Nougat is comming

Depends on the number of patches that needs to be applied in order to get the whole thing to work on Yuga i guess.

We have quite a lot of good devs here , hopefully some of them will have the know how..
Or hopefully some of them will be kind enough to write a very long and very detailed tutorial on how to do it..

A very detailed step by step..


Who knows..

Although this may not answer your question, it sure is an interesting read.

Do give it a read. What I do infer is that we'll be using older blobs if at all someone works on a ROM.

I hope they can make it. The new Vulcan API.. The performance is ok but can the hardware run it? For example compatibility with Vulcan.? ?

 

[Zacny04]

No, it can't. Vulkan API requires newer OpenGL and our old adreno 320 doesn't support it. Except that, Vulcan API requires changes in Blobs that can be made only by qualcomm. And they don't even do this for Snapdragon 800. We can have nougat on our xperias, but without VulcanAPI support. It works for example on Nexus 5 and Nexus 4(it has the same hardware as our phones).

 

[aksme707]

Looking at the xperiadev page for yuga on github, I could find binaries supporting only upto KK. It didn't have Sony AOSP support for L, forget about MM or N. I don't know anything about ROM development, but at the risk of bricking my device trying to build an Android N for XZ using the existing binaries available on xperiadev github page and using yuga-aosp branch. If successful will share process & progress.

P.S. BTW the official build instructions for Sony Android N AOSP can be found at http://developer.sonymobile.com/ope...uild-aosp-nougat-for-unlocked-xperia-devices/

Free Xperia Project have uploaded test builds for almost all Sony Z'series phone.Not yet for Xperia Z though.
Also in Android 6.0.1 download builds page of FXP YUGA is not mentioned,so i think they dont support Xperia Z.

A developer made 7.0 on Xperia ZR:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zr/orig-development/rom-aosp-nougat-xperia-zr-t3453606
Could someone with more knowledge than me boot it on our Z?

The dev Chippa who made this possible for ZR,also made best stable rom Resurrection Remix MM for Xperia Z...so i think he might be working on Z too.Excited.
And Xperia Z and ZR have same chipset.

 

[Chicken4K]

I don't have any knowledge about developing a rom, but I managed to get the ZR's nougat get to infinite boot on the Z...could someone assist me or help or something to port it to the Z?
Thanks.

Soo, i think Android N for our Z series is a question of the time, great @Chippa_a

 

[Simon G]

OK we can wait .But i think it runs not so Stable as MM Roms

Look at the comments on ZR thread, it's not stable as cm13/RR but still it's a great start

 

[Simon G]

Yes that is clear that a build is not stable at the beginning of the development. I myself understand from Rome building not so much. I imagine only that it with time more and more difficult Stable builds will create higher the Android version. I can also be wrong.


The ZR does have the same SoC but very different from the hardware and software equipment. Assuming for the build from ZR as a template to the N to Z to porting or there are certain sources to directly build a for Z to create ?? For the ZR has no OTG if this build now Ported how do you get the Z then OTG at. This is just an example of some of the hire has not the ZR relation to the Z

Well you could try building one for our XZ. There are plenty of tutorials available excluding the link I've already shared on this thread. We are a community where everyone is allowed to contribute in whatever way possible. Let's not get frustrated with non availability. There are developers who deliver when they don't even own a XZ.

FYI, I have been working on building one but hit a few road blocks. It's WIP. Will update the forum if I get an alpha build working.
