Excellent work! I would love to test this but since I only have this phone at the moment, I need the Sim card detection to at least work. You're doing an excellent job and you've gotten farther than anyone else! Keep up the good work and best of luck. Can't wait to start testing it if you're able to get Sim card detection working.

Even if I get sim detection working, it doesn't mean calls/SMS is guaranteed to work. I'll need testers on that eventually. I do have a SIM on my Z5 but its a pretty old SIM that needs to be reactivated. I can only check to see if it's actually picking up the cellular network at most.

man,ure legend bro?? keep it up

Mate it's working on my device. You said the same thing with my TWRP build but it's working there as well.

I'd definitely be happy to test it for you and let you know if calls and SMS work after you get sim card detection working. Keep up the good work, you're doing an excellent job!

New Release 20191228

- Applied kv123's DTS patch for dual sim SD card fix.
- Fix sim card detection.

I'll need testers for testing anything sim related. For both dual and single sim. I do have a sim but it is from another country and is temporarily disabled. I can only check to see if it picks up a signal but cannot use it to test calls/messaging. If you find any issues please report them and provide logs using the following command (Make sure you run it for up to a minute and use a site like pastebin to post your logs):

adb shell logcat -v main,radio,system,crash > logcat.txt

 

[Mike3009]

Awesome work! I'll test it out and let you know. All that is left is the camera, right?

If everything network related is working fine, camera should be the only *difficult* thing left. I was playing with the ROM earlier and noticed the youtube app causes the phone to crash and reboot. I'm not sure if its just me, but youtube works fine on the browser, the app however crashes so that's also something to look into.

Currently FMRadio isn't implemented and I haven't tested NFC. And unless there's some issue I'm not aware of, that's currently all there is to fix.

I got error code 7 when trying to flash it over.

Weird, which TWRP version are you using? Error 7 usually means the ROM being flashed is for a different device. Also did you wipe? Coming from lineage 14->15 dirty flash (without wipe) is not recommended.

I'm using TWRP 3.1.1-0 and I did the wipe exactly as shown in the first post. Coming from 14.1 on an e6853.
I can try updating my TWRP to the latest but I've never had issues before.

That TWRP 3.1.1-0 build for satsuki is pretty old. I would recommend updating it going forward. If this issue still persists let me know.

Working now after flashing over the latest recovery you posted. Thanks, I'll test it and report back.

With just some quick minimal testing, calls and sms work fine. It also detected my sim card right away. Great work!

This is a very fast rom. Really hope you can get the camera working.

Funny chrome worked for me, but youtube crashes the device. Also noticed "connected devices" also results in a crash if you try to open it in settings.

I do have a discord but I feel like telegram would be more suitable, I've noticed most people here use telegram? But anyways here's an invite link to better keep in touch: Xperia Z5 Premium (Satsuki dev)
