OpenGAPPS

ROM is without Gapps, you must flash it if you need it.

Since /data is not manageable from TWRP, it cant handle encryption.
You will need to flash arm64 nano version for Android Pie (9.0) from https://opengapps.org/ and push it to device from PC terminal (command promt in Windows). You wont be able to access the file if you simply copy it from PC to device.

1. Boot device in TWRP
2. FORMAT data (not wipe)
3. Reboot recovery (no restart of system!!)
2. In shell/command prompt on PC
adb push open_gapps-arm64-9.0-nano-20181011.zip /sdcard/
3. flash open_gapps-arm64-9.0-nano-20181011.zip from TWRP
4. reboot

You can make /data available by formatting /data from TWRP, but you will loose all data. Remember a backup!
And, you will need to do this every boot!

Hi, what's about DRM? Have you installed drm fix?

 

[NielDK]

Hi, what's about DRM? Have you installed drm fix?

No, AOSP is different code base (kernel) than stock Sony (Thanks God), so a DRM fix is not needed (not usable)

 

[Sdcrad]

Hello

Thank you.Will you continue to maintain and fix bugs?Such as fingerprint

 

[pine5508]

Hi

Thank you! I love the new rom.
Is there any way I can install GApps via TWRP? TWRP keeps failing to mount /data, even though it says decryption is successful.

Yes, you can (and need to, if you want Google apps)

1. Boot device in TWRP
2. In shell/command prompt on PC
adb push open_gapps-arm64-9.0-nano-20181011.zip /sdcard/
3. flash open_gapps-arm64-9.0-nano-20181011.zip from TWRP
4. reboot

What's about rooting this rom? Have you already tried?

Of course, flash Magisk from TWRP

I tried to build it a few times. Every time it took much more time than 3 hours and finally there were some errors. I will not try again.

 

[sensenku]

Please make it for Dual Sim cards (F8132) I think android Pie will save battery. I really want stock, natural android instead of modified one.
Thanks beforehand.

 

[NielDK]

Just to be clear, and answer your question.
Iam not going to make a build for dualsim version. I dont have that device.

 

[tpzvxn]

good, volte support please

good, volte support please

 

[gaki25252]

can it be flashed to a locked bootloader phone?

 

[NielDK]

No, like any other custom ROM, you need unlocked boot loader.

can it be flashed to a locked bootloader phone?

 

[dic1911]

I can build for F8132, did you modify the source before you could build successfully?
