Just flash, with flashtool on windows, a new recovery. Twrp recommended. Then use bootbridge elf from AdrianDC to get root on Nougat.
And you are good to go.

1. Read a lot about BlueBorn vulnerability... hope you'll incorporate a fix it in your future releases of Nougat and Oreo AOSP.

2. When I go to Developer options->Select USB Configuration, whatever I chose MTP (...) stays highlighted (running your 7.1.2 20170802.162849 build).

3. Music apk suc*s - it's ugly dark text on dark background. I know you are trying to be as close to AOSP as possible.

4. I'm unable to record calls anymore (I moved from stock 4.3, where both sides could have been recorded) with ACR or similar apps. Only microphone can be used as a source to record one side of a call - I think is an issue/design of Androids since 6.0.

5. When I manually search for network, networks are listed without their bands (2G, 3G, LTE/4G) next to the network name. You see some of them tripled and don't know what tho choose. It's OK until you roam and the roaming contract doesn't cover all bands.

Other than that perfect! Keep on posting forever!

Happy HuaShan user! :)

hi all !
i have a little(?) trouble with this ROM.
Simply it doenst work !

By TWRP 3.1.1.0 it installs successfully ,but finally the ROM does not starts !
After the Sony logo the android animation starts and goes and goes, nothing more. After ~20 mins and nearly 6 clean installs i give it up.
Some tech things :

C5302
UBL
Dalvik/Cache,System,Data wiped all the times.
Partitions are EXT4 ,except Cache (or Data,i dont remember).Its F2FS.
Tried to install it with latest OpenGapps ,Bootbridge(SuperSU,later Magisk ,by the description),Helium V51 and of course only the AOSP Nougat.
Unsuccessfully.

Who can help me ? Any idea ? :(

Hi,
I currently have the 14.1 -20171227-NIGHTLY-huashan installed. Can you please give me instructions to install the Android 8.0 Oreo on my handset, as I'm unable to install it. Thanks.
I may ask you, if you are able to read the first post?!? ...of the corresponding oreo thread...

Dear Adrian, I tested this ROM's (latest, 31 Dec 2017) wireless screen also (as I did with 7.1 Lineage). It does not work - finds my wireless projector, but cannot connect to it.

In this case, the rule is to send the logcat so that the OP gets acquainted with the specific problem.
Dear ze7zez, I needed screen cast (wireless display) urgently, so I downgraded to CM 13, where wireless screen mirroring works perfectly - hence, I won't be able to send logcat. But I suspect screen cast does not work in the Android 7 ROMs for SP at all, not only with my wireless projector - I hope someone can prove me wrong!

I suspected you had the will to cooperate and want to get involved in the development of ROM through feedback.
Returning to CM13 will not be a problem after performing a backup ROM via TWRP.
Once you have done this, install android 7.1.2 and connect to the projector, and then dump logcat to the file.
I think nothing is difficult about it?

It is not difficult at all, I'll do it asap. However, I do think it is a general screen cast problem, so if Adrian fixes screen cast in this ROM for ANY device, it will work with my projector, too. Btw, are you also a developer for this ROM?

    As quite a few already know since months by looking at my public projects on GitHub,
    I have been working on the yet-to-be named and -to-be-redesigned AOSP Master since March / April.

    Unlike what users expect, the Master development branch of Android AOSP is related to hardware and sources cleanups, while the features and UI changes are kept internal by Google until the official release we just had.

    Working since all these weeks on Master (and O Preview 1/2/3/4) was meant to prepare the field for almost everything Huashan 8960t would potentially need.

    For instance, O requires multiple changes to the kernel for what is called hwbinder and vndbinder support, used by the userspace for the hardware services and all Android O hidl changes (Google these if you are interested, some of the notions are accessible to even non-developer readers). All these changes either match our code or needed backporting to 3.4(.113) 8960 kernels. I kept all these public and they are now on Gerrit (Sony 8960t).

    Basically, between April and July, my AOSP Master was fully working on the Xperia SP and the Xperia T, with tests on the Xperia TX and V too.

    One of the biggest time waste of this project was a very strong visual glitch of the display composition, which ended up coming from the libhwui changes involving graphics EGL capabilities. This will affect probably most devices of this generations, most likely using Flo Adreno binaries from M.
    I invite interested devs to read my details in my EGL property commit in Huashan sources.

    To finish on Master, Bluetooth stopped working properly despite my initial temporary workaround to increase timeouts (the new AOSP Bluetooth HAL is massively different) and WiFi broke last month too, and I haven't taken / did not have time to fix it yet. Everything else was fine and used as daily.

    Another major and personal motivation was to start the sepolicies fully clean. Detached from QCOM ones this time, I've progressively rebuilt the sepolicy rules as strictly as possible, with specific labelling and in order to match common policies as much as possible, in order to be close to Google Marlin device sepolicies standards. The device was running enforced over the last month and only minor changes to the commits will maybe be done now.


    Now... You skipped the first part and came here.
    As others noticed by spying on my GitHub again, we started unifying our personal works on AOSP last week to prepare the next iteration of LineageOS. This helped us working very quickly on our basis upon release of O.
    Obviously nothing or barely nothing feature related is done yet, hardware support is the priority. Please do not request ETAs or features randomly on the forum or else, further information will be shared when there is actually information to be shared.


    Finally the last part you'll skip to because of the pictures.... I've been rebasing my AOSP Master changes to the Oreo release 8.0.0 (r3 for Pixel), and progressively fixed new code / hardware support changes done by the release.
    This night (4am...) was spent attempting to complete the boot on Huashan.
    Along an issue of 1 change I did for master sepolicies that broke the initialization (anticipation back-fired), the multiple new hardware HALs needed to be properly selected and compiled to match the requirements and complete the boot without display EGL crashes or audio failures.

    The Oreo UI therefore fully booted. More work will be needed to bring back all features inline with my Master builds and to fix remaining things to do.
    Please do not request for ETAs there too. It will be done once possible on evenings.

    PS: As I have been asked a few times, I confirm my Music Lights Effects with the Xperia SP's lights bar
    (presented in https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73049970&postcount=399)
    will be working on 8.0.0 too, as it already was working on Master.

    Huashan remains undefeated and a challenging good no-so-old device.

    Huashan-Music-Lights-Effects.jpg

    Quite an important announcement today.

    Two years after my initial implementations of the Xperia SP (Huashan) LEDs hardware controllers
    (AS3665 and AS3677, unique to this device because of the LEDs bar), I present to you the project I have been wishing to complete since then.

    My open-source LibLights for Huashan's LEDs handles all normal lights (notifications and display backlight),
    and flashing lights (blink) with the advanced sequencer program from the AS3665.
    Unlike most devices, this sequencer is a programmable input for calculations,
    registers comparisons and outputs to each LED for current / brightness renderings.

    The final step that never worked up until now, knowing I had that sequencer written and detailed since 2 years,
    was the music lights effects done on the LEDs bar as Sony once did on Stock 4.3.
    As music lights effects are done through hardware and not software, meaning the audio directly controls
    the LED controller through a specific wire input, the music effects do not add performance lags or permanent update events.

    The missing part were the audio routes : connecting the real audio output to the AS3665 input.
    Two weeks ago I went back to Stock 4.3 and progressively got into it through newly built kernel, repacked original Stock image without signature,
    and step by step went into the audio routes to identify the required audio mixer configurations needed for my changes to work.

    Implemented for AOSP-based and LineageOS-based ROMs, my Music Lights Effects for Huashan are not bound to any ROM changes.
    That's the biggest point I worked on here when the technical side was ready, as I did not wish to add specific code to the framework related to only one device,
    and hence make it also fully compatible with my Android AOSP releases without porting our Lights improvements from LineageOS.

    Lights Effects are implemented in what we call DeviceSettings, just like done since more than a year for Ambient Display specific gestures.
    I provide an option to enable / disable the effects, a choice on the audio gain to adapt the AS3665 input to your wishes,
    an optional dependency on the device being awake (to allow the music effects even locked) and a final one to always use effects while awake.

    photo_2017-07-15_19-32-57_zps0gobfz8g.jpg~original



    Preview and presentation video :



    There are four layers to my implementation :

    • LightsEffectsService (in DeviceSettings) listens media player events and triggers lights_effects through the "sys.lights_effects_value" property
    • init rules trigger lights_effects events on property "sys.lights_effects_gain" or sys.lights_effects_value" changes
    • Binary lights_effects is the new executable extension of my liblights and handles the audio configuration, audio routes and kernel music mode.
    • Kernel lights_effects is a new driver input that controls the AS3665, configures the music mode and properly blocks normal actions // keep them updated.

    All related sources changes are available under this topic : https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/topic:huashan_lights_effects
