Amazing, thanks for this rom! I am gonna try this once Sony stop doing security updates for the Xperia 5 and then I will also try LineageOS and see which one is better! Thanks for this rom though, I really thought this phone was gonna be dead after support stopped from sony, the community isnt too big for the Xperia 5 but its a great phone, just needs some roms.

i trying all the things you can tell me but no sd card support please help me
thx in advance

 

[yogeshpatel7]

Things i have notices so far:
- ROM is only on Bootslot B and is Set as Default
- Bootslot A still Runs Stock
(Fixed that by Manually flashing everything to A with Fastboot (Extracted Payload Bin)
- Display/Framework Overlay isnt fitting right
(Some Apps have cutted Statusbar)
- Batterylife isn't that great compared to Stock/GSIs
- Recovery is almost useless for any flashing since it only Supports Metadata based Installers

Wish there would bei TWRP for Our Devices. Think that would Change a Lot for US... Eg fixing the ROM Installer for A/B and releasing Patches from My Side. Stock ROMs would also bei possible...

Thanks anyways for the great AOSP ROM! Havent found any big Bugs yet

I installed this rom including stock cam everything working fine but SD card not found I tried everything formating sd card fix still no solution.
Please you have any idea to fix it help me
Thnx in advance

 

[hungepu]

Does this work on the SO-01M docomo version?

 

[bobbyamarthaa]

Does this work on the SO-01M docomo version?

yes

 

[vitality.kai]

yes

Have you installed it on the same model? If yes, how did you unlock the bootloaders and flash the rom? Could you give me a detail instruction on how you did it?

You ask if this can be used in docomo, I said yes because I use that unit myself, and have used several other roms which you can see in the other thread.
if you're asking how to do that, I don't think this is the right place, try to go around the forums, then you'll find something.
