beware, the camera is an (partly) opensource development preview solution.
That is the "bad" news.

The good news is that we never had an opensource solution before this. Except a hacky closed source solution.

It can only get better from here

Guys. Your TWRP won't have brightness control, which results in overheating. You need to change max brightness from 4095 to 255 in rhine omniboardconfig. This was merged by Slimroms in August...

Thanx for reporting. I have no ability to test on honami, I will make this device specific instead of platform specific.

edit: see here and here
Thanx again

The brightness value is the same for all rhine devices...

By the way: Does Omnirom have Layers?

tested 255 earlier on amami a while ago as I read about this issue before. And that was no good. I couldn't see anything on my screen in daylight. Besides from that, I have no heating issues in twrp. I.e. I leave twrp asap always, as I hate to carry around a device in recovery mode all day. It drops too many functionalities for my phone I use it for, like mobile networking.
So, as I am in twrp for not more then 5 minutes I think it is impossible for it to overheat. And I think the auto dimming of the screen after a minute of inactivity also prevents overheating

can you be specific about layers, it can mean multiple things. And I remember you asking this somewhere else before

edit ph***, the brightness remark made me review my notes I have to retest that on amami, it maybe a case of a screwup with yukon M2 here. Anyway, good to bring this to attention

Layers as a theme engine. If I asked before, I would know the answer.

Could you build a clean aosp as well please?

Just flashed and started Manual camera compatibility test app from playstore,and it showed that our device now supports all manual settings,even raw support.

 

[caki25]

Had it flashed, it felt awesomely smooth, fast s hell, booted in a few seconds... Camera was a said in op.. I just lost root and recovery so had to reflash kernel with recovery... Otherwise hell of a job with the ROM... thank you

 

[Ohhdayumm]

what are the features included in this ROM?

I'm hot booting recovery at the moment. What kernel did you use . I don't want a 3.4 kernel again .

Rashr. Is pushing recovery to fota partition but ROM/kernel does not seem able to use it .

 

[drakonizer]

Another 3.10 kernel that doesn't seem to work with my device. I must mention that I have an aftermarket display. It would be great if the ROM had a recovery, so that I could post the last kmesg. @erikcas

I changed the kernel to get restore a backup... But I will definitely try again later. Agreed with the recovery, I tried optimumpro's fota recovery, but was not able to boot into it.

Can you upload a dmesg from stock?
As early as possible from boot.
If you have an aftermarket display that works on stock, the display has to be defined in the stock kernel to. I need to see how it is inited on stock rom. If it is I will find it and make it work (oops.. no guaranty offcourse, but will do my outmost)

edit: recovery will be up in 20 minutes in this post
edit 2: download honami TWRP here (should be working, but not able to test...)

the kernel has not compiled the recovery "incompiled". I use updated TA partition for opendevices which allows a permanent recovery to be flashed to a "real" recovery partition, which you can enter (after updating TA and flash recovery) by powerup device by <voldown> + <power> keys at the same time when device is turned off.

wow really good rom. Just a few things:

- green videos were even on 5.1? I thought that it was caused by 6.0. Never mind, can you use new adreno binaries in next build (maybe there are some for 5.1, but it's worth try https://github.com/alviteri/vendor-sony-blobs/commit/11f24412c2e3b4b5531f2fa061fc2a0576933d2a )? Now I'm trying to push them to my phone and I'll see if it fix that
- some graphics glitches were present after first boot but they're gone, so I don't mind it
- camera is "somehow" working, but as OP mentions it isn't usable and it making weird sound on camera init (I should better not use the camera, I don't want to break it )
- superb freq scaling - my phone heats I think even less then on tweaked stock

edit: Also I used nut's ramdisk recovery and it's working link: http://nut.xperia-files.com/?ql=89140980648c1ad31bad3aa52f38245a2ef3c5a7
edit2: okay, do not flash this, in recovery there is no screen, it just vibrates and I can't restart my phone even with red button. (I have to wait till it die )

OK, @erikcas thank you

THANK YOU!
I will post the dmesg as soon as possible.
As for the recovery, will it work in this ROM if I flash it to FOTA partition? I have a C6902 so there is no way I can get the updated bootloader for using an actual recovery partition

EDIT: dmesg attached. The adb shell command resulted in 0kb logs so I had to use Syslog, so that might have resulted in a few seconds of delay in capturing the log. Hope it helps!
