[ROM][F8331][Oreo][2017-10-13] SonyAosp Builds

[CLShortFuse]

Hi everyone. I'm compiling the SonyAosp repository of the official Sony AOSP branch for the XZ F8331 (Single SIM variant).

SonyAosp branch could be considered a bleeding-edge version of the Sony AOSP branch. It already includes GApps and Sony's Extended Settings.

Working:
* HSPDA
* LTE
* Camera (RAW SUPPORT!)
* Flash
* WiFi
* WiFi Tethering
* GPS
* Fingerprint
* Video playback
* Camera recording (tested up to 60fps)
* Reboot to Recovery

Issues:
* Latest builds have broken codec support. Replace media_codecs.xml
* Some video playback and recording has CPU stuttering issues based on codec. Change CPU Governor to OnDemand.
* Camera ISO detection doesn't seem to be working.
* Reboot to Bootloader sometimes fails
* Booting directly to Recovery sometimes fails
* Android Auto USB doesn't work.

Unknown:
* VoLTE
* WiFi Calling
* USB OTG

Downloads:
Google Drive - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BwXQEflQYYbya3pDQXVtQVhPZVU?usp=sharing

Latest tested version: 2017-10-13

Please do not ask for support on untested versions.

Flash system.img and boot.img files with fastboot.
Copy vendor image with adb.

Weekly/Nightly builds and dedicated hosting coming as soon as I get my server running.

It's Oreo. XDA's DevDB setup doesn't include Android 8.x as an option yet.

Any thing special about the recovery? It's in the instruction but i'd rather keep my setup

Not really. SonyAosp doesn't do anything special for recovery. I would just do kernel and system if you're coming from AOSP already.

Install without losing datas?

Is there a way to setup this up without losing all my datas and applications already installed on my rooted XZ with 7.1.1?

Thanks for your answers

You can try. Don't flash or wipe userdata. I strongly recommend a wipe though, especially if you're coming from stock.

Safe to use as a daily driver?

I've had to flash these gapps https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=...b850aa7a37f94f1b433cedcc9a9aeb9581d3ca3feb5de to be able to use the rom.

Gapps is already included, so you shouldn't have to flash anything. What issues were you having forcing you to reinstall it?

I'm using it as daily driver. But trying to play or record video will make it slow down to a crawl after a few seconds until you stop. So if you watch YouTube videos, it may not be for you.

Without thèse Google apps the systemUI doesn't work. The notification panel is broken, also the home button.

The setup wizard works also with m'y gapps package.

Is there any way to install stock sony camera and enable 4k recording + slow motion?

Google Play have some issues for me, it won't download apps because of staying at "Waiting for download".

4K recording is working while using Open Camera no sure though regarding slow mo.

Solved the "Waiting for download" issue by installing the Gapp package linked in the posts above.

B.t.w. solved also the stuttering video playback and recording issue by applying Rudy's workaround

B.t.w. before I forgot, thanks CLshortFuse for cooking this rom :good: Looks really good so far, keep up the good work :victory:

PS aren't you also the guy behind one-click-root? If so, another big thank because that tool saved me for throwing away a locked Fire TV some while ago
