Hi,

No luck here either.

I went to the link provided in the OP.
Clicked on "List of devices and resources".
On the new page I clicked on "Check out the AOSP for XPeria Z2 tablet project on Github".
Created the "local_manifests" folder and file within as said on the new page.

THEN it says "Download the zip file with vendor binaries from: http://developer.sonymobile.com/knowledge-base/open-source/android-open-source-project-for-xperia-devices/"...

And that's where the problem is : that page is not available...

So we're obviously missing some resources to be able to build at least if we'd like to build KK...
And I know KK is now an old and outdated thing of the far past.
But I happen to use XPosed. And that does not work on LOL.
If I can't customise to my needs, then I can stick to stock and debloat to my liking.

Regards.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for your answer.
That's the link to the LOL binaries.
As I said in my post, I am looking for the KK binaries because XPosed does not work (for now ? but for how long ?) on LOL...

Anyways, even with the binaries provided (LOL or KK for Z2 Phone, not Tablet) I am unable to build.
As soon as I fire the build, I immediately get an error "The make file you're using is version 4.1. Build requires make file version 3.81 or 3.82".
So the "make" file is too recent and Sony did not care to update it's sources...

I really am wondering why Sony makes such an effort to provide a "beginner's friendly guide to build AOSP for Xperia" if the whole thing is then obviously aimed only at developers that can help themselves out of those problems.

Regards.

Hi,

Cool... but WTF doesn't Sony also release the needed binaries to build an AOSP but KK version ?

I would like to build KK because I would then like to customise to my own needs without having to install a Custom ROM and for that I would like to use XPosed.
But Xposed does not seem to support LOL for now...

So a KK binary would be much appreciated... at least on my side !

Regards.

Why is the Z2 Tablet Wifi (castor_windy - SGP511/SGP512) not supported?

Also, is there an AOSP 4.4.x too?.

it is supported look on aosp m thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe.../aosp-6-0-marshmallow-sony-xperia-z2-t3235935
These builds are based on sonys aosp release

4.4.x is not builded yet but should work too

Thanks for the reply and link.

I was looking for castor_windy support for Sony AOSP KitKat 4.4.x (or failing that, Lollipop 5.1.x) for now. I haven't even looked at Marshmallow yet and don't have time to do so for now so, still to determine if Marshmallow meets my needs...
