[ROM][CLANG][7.1.1][Substratum]PixN Rom

[Kexone]

Thank for this awesome ROM.

I have same problems with:
- camera (black screen) - only otg cam works
- wifi hotspot
- usb tethering


And battery is drain too fast (perhaps 3x faster then normal) - have root, have greenify, doze, now testing betterBatteryStats
EDIT: Battery looks good. On 92% says 8 hours left (before only 4).

There are some catlogs: dropbox.com/sh/w7u8u06zw0129yn/AAA2fEIEIdHmmSfb-szR-92Ha?dl=0

If you want more logs or something else, hit me up.

Fixed the Phone bug, substratum theme was broked. still have real hard recharge problems and drain presists even with greenify and doze....
with xpoosed i could get some fixes for it...

Hard reset issue is fixed, I'll just finish the build for this device tonight.. Actually I was trying to get some time to also fix the opengapps issue...


There isn't an xposed for nougat and its unlikely there will be.....

ah wait these builds require MM or N architecture? over MM i got small problems in recovery and now i tried it over N architecture and i cant apply system.img on it no matter what. size to big.

edit: i mean partition layout

New version up.

N architecture, but I don't understand the question... You should use fastboot and a computer... Not the phone recovery...

How is root? What TWRP you have installed?
Where to download the new version?
And why in the first post you are just links to the Xperia Z5?

Well, it's a DevDB project, the latest Rom is in the downloads tab of this thread.

The earlier versions were Z5 only. I just updated the download button.

Root is via magisk and phh's superuser (you need to install both)
TWRP, well, I didn't build a recovery, just the system.img so go for whichever working TWRP you have...
If the new kernel causes issues user any aosp kernel for the z3 (android 7 or higher)

nono i tested if i use the N preview as base i get error about not enought spacce no matter what. so flashed 6.0 FTF and reflashed seems to be fine.

well still have battery drain. this needs a fix.
display just eating up batterry along with buggy functions from the 3.10 kernel, cant we somehow use 3.4 kernels wich are just far better atm?

There are huge number of bugs floating around the 3.10 source code, many made worse by sony's sudden jump to 3.18 (from android 7.1.1, officially)
It's true a backport or fast forward from or to 3.4 would be better, but I can't commit to kernel development for a device I no longer own... I'd be willing to give pointers to anyone interested though...

New version for Z3 with fixed camera, wifi hotspot ?

I'm confused about what this means. If kernel version 3.10 has a lot of bugs why do so many roms use this version? Isn't the Linux kernel up to like version 5 now? Why doesn't the devs of Android phones move on to newer kernels? Can i update the kernel in this rom manually? How do i know which kernel and kernel version i can use for a rom?

@RobbyRobbb Android kernels are Kind based on linux, but on android alot of important fixes and stuff have to be done to get it to work. i.e. Kernel have to have the devicedrivers build in kernel else it wont boot. Generaly its like android kernel require some real hard work to be runable on Android devices and androidkernels working only at device they are mean for couse actually android have to load some drivers for the device directly from it.
There was another idea known as Ubuntu Touch wich from what i heard and i cant confirm that, would work like a real linux and would go the way of real linux kernel for arm. The 3.10 kernel is still only just bootable, devs dont seems to make any real hard jumps forward atm. Either using and 3.4 kernel and write the roms on a compatible way or having an unstable kernel wich can lead to many problems. Currently 3.10 kernel have alot of wakelocks problems with charger, batterydrain problems from display, it can freeze on terminal sometimes etc.
Thing is 7.x.x have stupid fast, boottimes are like totaly gone and in overall its real fast. But currently its just the kernel and maybe some bad code that have massive drawbacks.

And Sony are now using 3.18 for their latest roms? Do you know which roms for the Z3 that use a kernel with the least amount of issues? Is this problem the same on phones made by other manufacturers?

 

[TjNiko]

Not real their Wannsee 3.18 Kernel is also full of Bugs

But there is no 3.18 kernel for shinano devices. All ROMs that are on android 6.0+ here are on 3.10 because I think you would need to do a full port if you wanted to use another kernel, because sony sources for the z1-z3 range are on 3.10

Can I help port this to the Z3Compact? Thanks!

well i know that the 7.0 beta was shiped with 3.4-perf kernel. and the atm from all roms i saw the kernel that is shiped on existenz rom wich seems to be standart works at best. unfornatly flashing kernels from shadowelite breaking my camera. but in overall 3.4 is the best kernel until the 3.10 kernel developers fixing all these issuses.
