New WEEKLY build released. This build contains rootless theme support through substratum (downloadable from the playstore)

The issues posted in op are still present?

 

[oshmoun]

yes they are, those issues mainly relate to sonyxperiadev project, which is the base of the bring-up of Xperia X Compact on omni.
The issues need to be resolved there, then they will also be resolved for omni

Flashed your rom yesterday. I got the same problem as with the aosp rom, my x compact frequently loses mobile network connection. Today I had no connection for several hours. Had to reboot 4 times to gain network connection. Though I don't know if the restarts fixed it. Plus I often only have hspa or 3g connection, this is strange. This doesn't happen on 7.0 or earlier ROMs.

Maybe you have your APN settings setup incorrectly?
Other than that, this rom does not replace the modem partition so that should be the same as on stock. Not sure where your issue would come from if not from APN

 

[Micka84]

Thank you I will take a look at the apn settings (didn't ever change anything there though)

flashed your ROM but i find that the two big cores frequently turned off which is causing lags
it might be something wrong with the interactive governor I guess

That doesn't seem wrong. The big cores will only go online if they're needed. They stay offline most of the time. That still shouldn't cause stuttering though.
Just checked here and big cores go online on high cpu loads as expected.

Is F2FS supported? I didn't see it listed anywhere and the changelog link in the op just loads the Omni homepage.

F2fs is not supported, because fstab is explicitly requiring ext4 partitions.

Is F2FS something you could add without too much difficulty? I use it with some Nexus 7 2012 and Asus TF201 tablets and it appears to make a difference. Not sure how noticeable it would be on the XC though. I completely understand if adding F2FS support is not something you want to focus your time on.

Thanks for your work on this rom. I get my XC in the mail tomorrow and I'll be loading Omni pretty soon after.

Honestly i haven't checked if it's feasible or not. Main issue is that this is my daily driver so i can't experiment with it to such levels.
I'd suggest you setup your device on omni, then maybe i can upload a custom build with f2fs support for you to build. Assuming f2fs is possible on XC of course, which is something I'll check soon

Got Omni loaded and was trying out encryption. It kept boot looping. On one of the loops I briefly saw the Omni logo. All the other times just the Sony boot screen, the LED would light blue/purple then turn red as the phone restarted. I know setting up encryption will cause several reboots but this didn't seem to be working correctly. Does Omni on the XC support encryption currently?

Hmmm, haven't tested encryption.
Can you try booting to twrp to see if that at least works? That way we know the issue does not lie in the kernel

Yea twrp works. Had to go into recovery to restore my backup. It appears the encryption process did start as the first restore had the boot loops. It was only after I formatted the data partition that the restore worked and I could boot back into Omni without issue. I do have Magisk installed for systemless root so not sure if that is part of the problem. The next time I try I'll remove Magisk first.

Update: Did some searching and it looks like Magisk might be the cause. Some people have reported that encrypting the device before putting Magisk on works.

Update 2: Did a clean install of Omni after formatting all partitions. Still getting the boot loops so Magisk wasn't the cause. Some boots only have the Sony logo. Other timers the Omni logo does appear but then it restarts.

Please do the following:
1. Boot up device after trying to encrypt
2. After device crashes at start and reboots, directly boot up twrp with volume buttons
3. Using adb, get all files under/sys/fs/pstore and upload
I hope they was understandable, and thanks for investing time in this
