How to report

How to post

Reports without logs or step to reproduce are useless (read contribute).
You are welcome to post your review: what is working, not working, etc... Check into know issues before.
You are welcome to report any typo, error, etc...

Try to keep thread clean as a dev reference. Thanks in advance.

How to report problems

To report problem, please provide logs.
It is always better to include reference to the Installed version. This guide is really detailed and explained everything about bug reports.
If you have any doubts, take the most logs. There is never enough logs

How to get logs

If your device is not booting at all, we need information about how you flash and all the handling you do, the display status, light status, and if available a dump of /proc/last_kmesg*
If you have a non working peripheral (non-working radio/wifi/etc...) please provide a full logcat and full dmesg, example:
Code:
adb reboot adb wait-for-device adb shell dmesg > dmesg.log adb logcat -d > logcat.log

If you have a non working app please provide a partial logcat:

On this rom, there is a script who detect device at install time and provide the right functions for single or dual sim. If you have modem problems (like data not working or no signal) please also provide the /tmp/recovery.log.:
If you have ADB access to your device in twrp just use
Code:
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log .
after flashing omnirom.
If you do not have ADB access use the 'copy to SD' button in the advanced tab, then transfer it the way you like.
then upload your files to a service like pastebin.com / paste.omnirom.org

Based on stock sony kernel?

marcogiannetta · Oct 29, 2017 at 7:02 PM

Amazing, I'm testing right now.
-It's quite fast (maybe a bit laggy in Settings app)
-Calls/SMS ok
-Wi-Fi working (both 2.4 and 5 GHz)
-Camera taking pictures, but not videos (as stated in post #2)
-Mobile data working (2G, 3G, LTE)
-Bluetooth working! I successfully connected to my JBL Go
-DoubleTapToWake not working
-Auto brightness not working here, good Night Mode
-Audio is quite loud, very good! (good inCall and loudspeaker volumes too)
-Screen rotation working
-64GB microSD correctly detected
-only around 5.5 GB occupied (without gApps)
-just 23 seconds to boot
-30 minutes of SOT drained about 7% of battery
I'm really tempted to keep this ROM, but I'll wait for it to get even more stable than now.
Oreo seems a way better than Nougat.
Thanks dev for this :good::good::good:

Dinkec27 · Oct 29, 2017 at 7:45 PM

When video recording gets fixed I am installing this ROM,I already see good reviews so hoping it gets fixed soon.
Great job dev!

Kunqa · Oct 29, 2017 at 8:16 PM

Awesome work guys, bluetooth works.
Hope we got Lineage or AOSP ROM soon.

Testing,so far so good.

levone1 · Oct 30, 2017

So far so good... What I've noted:
- 'unknown sources' option in security settings is done away with. Now is a pop-up dialog included in pkg mgr.
- Settings layout is different. Main dashboard more condensed, with several options now in sub-settings.
- Signature spoofing ability included without patch, but Micro G still showing not active. Not sure what to do to activate it. SELinux already permissive; I don't see any option in settings...
- phh's Superuser working fine, (my preferred root).

Thanks

Figured out the Micro G issue, (feel stupid because I already went through this with another ROM and forgot about it...) Just tap on the unchecked box in Micro G settings and allow permission in the pop-up box.
Now Micro G working fine...

vils1 · Oct 30, 2017 at 3:16 AM

Very Good!
Please add control with one hand as on LOS, my top of the sensor does not work.

Already approx 24h on. I am really pleased surprise, she isn't perfect but come on!! ,is Alfa release, and come so early after officially released!
Normally installed, on get gaps I have same treble, usually use aroma install, but don't past a way,finely successful with pico, magisk , and now I am a happy campers.
Tks a loot for this!
Stock camera working, no recording.(just flash)

levone1 · Oct 30, 2017

I guess they cut button rearrangement out of system ui tuner in Oreo. Found this app that can restore it - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner. I have a feeling it's easy to do with apktool also, but apktool not ready for O yet, so haven't been able to test, (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74347058&postcount=5108)...

madvinegar · Nov 1, 2017

Tried the rom. Many congrats for the good work and thank you.
I cannot get the 5ghz networks to show up.
Also double tap to wake does not work.
And, the camera, even if does not FC when taking video, it does not store it anywhere.

Finally I get an error message as soon as the phone boots up to android. "Cell broadcast has stopped".

I will be following closely this thread. Keep up the good work!!!

marcogiannetta · Nov 1, 2017 at 4:51 PM

I flashed again this rom to check if "Nougat Sony Camera Port" could work on Oreo too (I cannot live without that camera).
The result is YES (obviously Video recording still broken and some camera mode like AR Fun are force closing) and Cyberian Camera 8.0 works too.
So proud of this phone, it does not want to give up

:good:

5GHz networks are showing up for me, double tap to wake works too. And that's what we meant with "video recording not working"

If possible, give us a logcat so we can take a look at that problem of yours.

Apologies for the noob question. How can I take a logcat?

5Ghz working for me too, but not DT2W.
I've seen a new build on androidfilehost (too late

), has it been fixed in that build?

nailyk · Nov 1, 2017 at 8:10 PM

Minor fixes:

Restore D2TW from 26502 & 26504
Attempt to fix AP with 26524
Enable Messaging app (26526) & FM app (26527)

Link will be added to OP in a few.
