Hello!

[Rudjgaard]

Hi to everyone, got my phone yesterday, rooted unlocked and started off.
I come from some experience in the field (my first phone was an xperia)
and my stats show that I put effort and time into this community and am looking forward to start working on some projects.
(i am merely a builder not a developer)

Would anyone be so kind and nice to give me a picture of current development status?
Are there major bugs being worked on from cm incompatibility?
How come there is only one cm based kernel?
What are the most common problems that have been mostly encountered?

Thanks for your replies, happy to be here, take care

Welcome to this forum and I hope you'll enjoy working with the community here

Would anyone be so kind and nice to give me a picture of current development status?
Are there major bugs being worked on from cm incompatibility?

AFAIK, there aren't any CM bug now, there was a camera lag at start up weeks ago, but now it's solved,
the only thing left is that camera quality on AOSP-Based ROM is not as good as it is on stock Sony FW,

The great thing going on now is that we're gonna have official AOSP support from Sony soon (all thanks to @jerpelea)

check these:
Unified kernel for msm8974 devices
Xperia AOSP Project

these are still new and their early stages, and hopefully we'll start using them soon:good:

How come there is only one cm based kernel?

To be honest, there aren't many devs how own or work for this device, even the cm-based kernel we have is ported from Z1 !
also I'm working on a brand new one with the latest features, but I think it'll take some time

What are the most common problems that have been mostly encountered?

Thanks for your replies, happy to be here, take care

Well as I mentioned, we don't have any major problems, as this device can get whatever Z1 can get, and Z1 is popular
except for one thing! the double tap to wake feature can't be ported from Z1 to our device as the two devices don't share the same touchscreen!

That's all I can remember right now
if you need any help, I'm always available,
and I'm looking forward to seeing your work

Best Regards,
Omar.

Thank you very much for your long and exhaustive answer.
I did see a camera workaround in the cm system.
Has anyone tried porting stock camera to cm? (Is it the actual camera hal responsible for qualiy or Sony proprietary rendering sw on album(are pics better/worse in fact when viewed on PC or from the phone's album? We did that on the lg with great results..
What about device blobs for the kernel are they closed source or do we have support from Sony?
Thanks again for all the info
Cheers
