I am a developer BUT I am not a kernel/android rom dev!

Pure AOSP Marshmallow

This all started because I wanted to get my wife a cheap android phone that would stay up to date with the latest android. A cheap phone with SD storage and Marshmallow seemed like a great combination hence the E3. Sony has been great at supporting the developer community by providing Marshmallow binaries and working on open source components.

I am providing this rom in my spare time and all of what I have done can be done by anyone with AOSP code. Any changes I make I will endeavour to release to github should I stop developing this rom.

supports D2203
Guide to flashing

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img --> if it doesn't work first time

If you are having booting issues flash the cache image as well.

you also probably want the newest recovery of TWRP or CWM

6.0.1 Release, thank you all for waiting, stock build first. I really need to learn how to do nice release notes..
updated blobs which should mean a more stable build. Also we are getting closer to getting a working camera.

17/11/2015
Two new system builds
with modem files and one without

25/11/2015
Phone has arrived in the country should receive it soon
this will mean I can continue work on this device, I cannot just take my partners phone and mess with it unfortunately ;-D

26/11/2015
Phone arrived, have got a working system image, am uploading a backup from twrp now.

26/11/2015
Yay I have a working system.img for you all to flash and I put some extra effort to add a nice boot animation
I have also added the stock kernel(boot.img) as it seems to be more stable than erikcas one at the moment.... possibly

I've also attached the bootanimation should you want to use it on stock or whatever. Is not mine, can't remember the person who made, it, was posted to reddit/r/android if I find it again I'll attribute it.

New boot.img with improved io performance, you should see significant improvements if you've experienced lag. Thanks goes to @vinay for his work on the flamingo kernel. One small change removes CRC checking which improves performance by up to 30%

Hi Guys am in the process of producing a new kernel and ROM with ZRAM support. Hoping to get something in your hands soon.

Hi guys,

I've brought my partner an E3 and compiled marshmallow for it from ASOP, I will post links as soon as I can.

Anyone game to test?

As usual, the usual disclaimers apply. I won't be blamed if it does anything weird.

Thanks guys

I can test it if you post link for download

heres the link, uploading the system image and userdata now, broke through our internet cap (at dial up speeds) so doing it over my phone lol.

So should be there in about half an hour.

EDIT: it's all up now

I can't test it because the phone hasn't arrived.

It makes a tutorial on installing via please ASOP ? :crying:

 

[Nicklas Van Dam]

can this apply to D2202?

yes, this will better if you tell us for what variant of E3 in this Marshmallow thread

 

[ChetanLokhande]

Will it work on D2212??? Which is your variant???
I have downloaded all the img files. Give step wise tutorial for flashing. What is the ramdisk.img and ramdisk-recovery.img and how to flash them???

 

[edi194]

Ramdisk is probably kernel. One without and one with recovery. Everything is flashable from fastboot

 

[ChetanLokhande]

Okay, means this rom will work on D2212 /D2202 as they don't have seperate recovery partition

 

[moznoadam]

OK i´m downloading it i will write here and post screens if you want

 

[moznoadam]

system.img is too large ...

 

[edi194]

Maybe for new bootloader? If i good remember for E3 here was 2 bootloader types

 

[MasterDomino]

Can you please create a quick installation guide and/or requirements (bootloader), i will be pleased and please can you tell us the bugs

 

[ChetanLokhande]

Do i need to flash ramdisk OR ramdisk-recovery OR recovery OR all of them??? I am confused

 

[vinay]

this is no gonna boot at all. were is kernel?

and sony upload stuff for compiling rom,s for lte varriant,s so test it on d2203.

and system.img is bigger than our system partition it could mean you compiled rom for a different device.

Sorry uploading kernel now. I followed the sony developer world instructions for the D2203 variants

http://developer.sonymobile.com/kno...aosp-marshmallow-for-unlocked-xperia-devices/

please be nice this is my first attempt at supplying a rom. Am re-compiling again as I think your right I misread and compiled for the D5503 instead of D2203, I don't have the device yet as I am waiting for it to be delivered.

I have messed around with building roms before but haven't handed them out.

 

[ChetanLokhande]

Again for D2203 and not for D2212/D2202. I think i must throw this phone, nothings gonna happen.
