As Sony announced few days ago that they'll discontinuing the X and X compact, what does it mean of us loners?
I mean it has been more than a month since the Performance variant got 7.1.1 and we still running the 7.0 and no news about when we'll get that update;
Also does this mean, that we won't be getting android O when it hits market?
From what i understand, they will only stop the production. That means no X2 or X2c.
Current phones will continue receiving updates until the end of its 18-month lifespan. That means 7.1 will come soon. (Actually it's already coming to Concept roms).
Though I hope they will skip 7.1 and go straight to 8.0.
C'mon Sailfish. Daddy needs a better OS.
Trashed it so fast. Sony is making some very odd choices. I hope they get their sh** together

Isn't it 2 year "lifespan" of updates ?????
Well, if you guys want some good news, Android 7.1 update for Xperia X/X Compact might start rolling really soon. Yesterday, kernel sources from an unannounced build (34.3.A.0.194) surfaced on Developer World, and given the bump to 34.3.xx.xx.xx from the previous 34.2.xx.xx.xx indicates it's a major update instead of simple bug fixes...

Sony has been busy crunching and pushing out the promised KitKat updates to its arsenal of Android smartphones out there.

I was away for most of last week (weather too nice), and also don't handle the downloads directory (other people do that).
I have no idea what's going on... We've had issues in the past with running out of space causing bogus builds, but this... It's new.
Perhaps the cleanup bot responsible for trying to avoid running out of space had a bug and got overzealous...

Seems like the cleanup bot was overzealous, it deleted everything older than X weeks old... Plodey was planning on having 5.1 nightlies started by now but the CAF ifdefing nightmare is taking far longer to finish than anticipated.
I've asked plodey to kick off another build cycle for 4.4, although I just realized there's a wpa_supplicant security patch we should stick in there first.

Almost surely this would break the OpenDelta chain (I really at some point need to make it have a fallback where it'll detect a broken chain and download a full update), you'd have to download and manually flash a full build.
I was away nearly all weekend, I'll pester plodey about making the server do a build and try to make the script preserve at least ONE build for each device.

Stock vs CM vs Vibe
We were supposed to get 5 different polished ROMs and, instead of that, we need to find our way to get a barely working phone.
Which is the most stable? Which is the most beautiful?

What's your deal? Taking so much bull**** that you need to spread it?
Right now I'm using MDS rom it's working good. Everything is working. Supersu is updated and xposed is too. I'm still having some visual problems but nothing to worry about... My album art work wasn't working on stock but it is on this ROM. They just took stock and made it better... I do have a question. Can you send me cm12.1 that I can flash in CWM. I can't get the tool to work for me.

look, the way you asked the question is how you got the first reponse. the same can be asked with you, whats your deal?
just calm down and let it go. keep it clean.
also what works for the other users might not work for you. so much hype around this phone and they didn't dissapoint-they market the item well and always sell half finished goods.
maybe the only good thing going for it is they "might" release source code which they should be doing any way so the community irons out the bugs.
they're trying a different approach with the P8000 saying we will give out the kernel source code blah blah blah developer friendly etc but i will wait and see. i tried for 3 weeks to get P7000 in flash sales. twice i had in my basket trying to check out and the price jumped from 159usd to 209usd by the time i checked out. i thought it was a sign, wait... wait until reviews and see if any shipping issues. i'm glad i did.
now to answer your question to the best of my ability...the stock rom is the only one that i know off that allows the fingerprint reader to work properly.
each of the other firmwares have their advantages and disadvantages.
XDA doesn't allow "best rom" threads but i understand where you are coming from.
are you looking in terms of stability or most working features?
look @ my signature, so far is the best rom, few bugs that needs to be iron out "other roms have not been updated recently"

A new version of the stock OS came in OTA. If you want to test it you have to reset to the stock rom and install the OTA update. It's way more fluid than the original, seriously for me it was day and night. I didn't get trouble with the photo and the new launcher is nice. It's still Android 5.0.

Customized US/IT/RU/CH/SG/DE rolled out. Anyone who updated his phone?
Does it have Xperia X UI / Smart Cleaner?
Hi, looking into xperiFirm about italian customizedIT firmware, and noticed that is present the last version 32.2.A.0.253/R9C
My phone, instead, is on 32.2.A.0.224 / R4C with a different number of Customization(CDF):
- mine is 1295-6968_R4C
- instead XperiFirm customizedIT is 1295-7868_R9C
Someone could explain me if I can flash the customizedIT ftf on my phone, without brick it?
Which are the differences about these two version of firmware?
EDIT: Today I've connected phone to my PC, using Xperia Companion new firmware result and I've updated my phone to latest version.

Also I have noticed battery life a little better. :highfive:
In any case, system it's stable and fluid. I don't have problem with my SBH50 bluetooth stereo headset, so no differences for me about this.
But, if Sony fix bugs and improved battery life, in my opinion is still a great thing :good:

I read the article along with the update, It's not quite fully functional, still quite a ways from being a working rom but he has shown that project treble does work and is somewhat viable. from looking at his screenshots the ril (sim stuff) is not working yet, I made some suggestions to him regarding his build that might fix that but he hasn't gotten back to me. Still not there yet but at least it shows that a generic AOSP Android can be installed and booted (at least the system and data images) by virtue of project treble. There are still a lot of things that are closed source relating to the hardware on our device and the SoC itself.
NFC not working, BT is wonky, FPS is not enabled, Keyboard is crashing when opening numbers/special chars, no HotSpot/Tethering, RIL does somewhat work but requires some more work on the actual device overlay.
But the essential things are working, Video Enc/Dec, Camera (Video, Photo), LEDs, Audio, HWC, vulkan, WiFi, BT (atleast its visible when i scan for it), power hal, maybe i forgot a few things ..
I've tested a self-compiled build on my H8 Pro, and thats the result, so i'd expect some similar situation for the Mate 9.

Thanks for the report. Let's hope to see a stable build in the near future.
AOSP

NFC not working, BT is wonky, FPS is not enabled, Keyboard is crashing when opening numbers/special chars, no HotSpot/Tethering, RIL does somewhat work but requires some more work on the actual device overlay.
But the essential things are working, Video Enc/Dec, Camera (Video, Photo), LEDs, Audio, HWC, vulkan, WiFi, BT (atleast its visible when i scan for it), power hal, maybe i forgot a few things ..
I've tested a self-compiled build on my H8 Pro, and thats the result, so i'd expect some similar situation for the Mate 9.
Regards

Did a build myself for the HiKey 960 reference board that uses the same SoC as the mate 9 and am doing a generic arm64 build right now, I'll be testing the both out when I get a chance. I think that I might have a little more luck with the HiKey build as it is the same SoC. It's a work in progress but project treble is showing some promise. I'm looking at making a flashable (in twrp) that will install the AOSP build (whichever one works)

You are very welcome, this all is a work in progress but from what I see so far project treble is going to make development easier in the future. I might try installing the boot image from my HiKey build to see how that works, it's the same SoC as our devices so it "should" boot, it's kernel version 4.9 which is the latest and supposedly greatest so we will see. If it doesn't boot I can always flash back the stock Oreo boot image.
I got a spare Mate 9 and can install and test stuff, happy to help
I'll keep that in mind

I'll keep that in mind, I will be uploading my system.img and custdata.img for both builds when this one gets finished (takes forever on my old PC) they can be flashed via fastboot provided your bootloader is unlocked. I'll post the links after I get them uploaded.

I'm rebuilding, there is a thread on AOSP here https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble so I'm following the work there to see what changes to the framework need to be made, my build hung at 99% so I ended up starting it over, I think my build machine is running out of memory and the Java compiler is chocking. his v2 build boots and is mostly functional you can download it on his thread. His build is based on the 8.0.0-vts_r4 testing branch and mine is the 8.0.0_r34 release branch. You can download a build based on his changes and the vts branch here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wMa_dgkWrqbC9i4GxUNOQlH0qIwffPph/view?usp=drivesdk

Thanks. Can you confirm Galileo satellites are being picked up with AOSP Oreo? Should see EU flags in https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.gpstest
See stock ROM results at http://www.startlr.com/we-tried-galileo-huawei-mate-9-already-sees-the-european-satellites/

Haven't tried it out, it's supposed to but I'll have to check that out, there was a report of taking a very long time to get a fix off GPS, but nothing specific to Galileo.

Yeah, the whole ASOP and treble thing is definitely a work in progress and it's going to take a little time to get that all working with the phone hardware properly but once it gets all figured out it is going to make updates easy and open the door to a lot of possibilities with custom ROMs

Indeed, this stuff is exciting. My mate 9 should arrive tomorrow.... Can't wait.
Is the kernel compiled too from AOSP, or is that pre-compiled already in a boot.img?

No, in order to use the AOSP build you have to install Oreo beforehand, there are beta builds available for a few of the mate 9 variants right now but the "official" Oreo updates should start rolling out sometime in December. I had downloaded and installed the beta for the US variant.
