Hello everyone!
I present to you a paranoid android 3.99 port for our Xperia SP
Changelog:
V2: Device no longer hard reboots on bootanimation
V1: initial release
BUGS:
V2: Device doesn't boot (stuck on bootanimation and ADB offline)
V1: Device doesn't boot (hard reboot after 10 seconds of showing splash screen)
Download: PA_HUASHAN_V2
Now as you can see this ROM port is not booting but at least it doesn't do a hard reboot anymore! Currently I have no ADB access as it is listed as offline when doing: ADB devices of course I can't figure out the problem myself so I'm asking you guys for help. Since there is no logcat I know that it might be nasty to determine the problem and where the phone stops booting. I hope you guys can help me get this ROM to boot so we will finally have a working PA rom
thanks to: @-NickHalden- for his nice guide on how to port ROM's
@FXP for the base rom (cm10.2)
and the paranoid android team for the ROM that was ported (pa 3.99 from nexus 4)
Why don't you simply build from source?

I'm trying that as well but i'm having some issues getting these files working
<device>.adds
<device>.removes
pa_<device>.conf
pa_<device>.mk
If I could easily get/make these files a source build would already be here
Do you have a idea on how to create these files? or where I can get them?
for example for the .adds file I need something like this (this comes from nexus 4)
https://github.com/ParanoidAndroid/android_vendor_pa/blob/jb43/manifests/mako.adds
It's pretty simple
Adds and removes are the repos what you need and don't need. About the makefiles. You can simple use the mako files as base, only need to change the values to match for our device.

damn I ran into some building issues already (hopefully nothing to serious)

EDIT: I modified my huashan.adds file
EDIT2: I really needs some help with this! I'm familiar with the compiling process of cyanogenmod but this is a whole new story
I'm a huge fan of PA, I hope this one for our SP will progress nicely. Keep up the good work devs. Currently on CM coz stock is too laggy on my one.

@kamarush
Remember you in developing the Xperia line 2011. Glad to see it with our Xperia SP. Some project in mind?
[QOUTE]Yeah was long time ago i just bought this device a week ago. I just came back to Sony from Samsung [/QUOTE]
Great, i really want rom by you. i hope you can make it soon..:good:
OK guys the build has started again! All my previous problems were caused by syncing the old repo (github.com/paranoidandroid) instead of the new one (github.com/AOSPA-legacy) if you get errors like I did try and use the new source (repo init -u git://github.com/AOSPA-legacy/manifest.git -b kitkat)
Just letting you guys know that this project isn't dead

It's really good! If you finish the build tomorrow, I'll flash it right away . I loved PA on my N7, and I think it's the one of the best ROM's on xda. Hopefully PA won't have that annoying freeze bug.

Unfortunately it probably will have the freeze bug as it's based on the vendor blobs that bagyusz uses

Is there a simple way I could port the lastest PAC ROM to the atrix i am aware that th3bill has a 4.1.2 version up, but i would perfer a 4.2.2 with the new kernel and Halo (From PA)
Anybody know a way to port, or can port it across the Atrix 4G ?
Good way: Await for new kernel and port
Another Way: follow this mini-guide made to an HTC Pyramid user. You can build from source. -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2008344
Make sure you build a repo sync with repo init -u git://github.com/PAC-man/android.git -b <branch>
Then well, maybe it'll work. Other way to port is with rom porting tool; but its a non-guaranteed porting --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2196491

I think you can try porting something from Infuse -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038579 but I think you cannot post if you manage to get it working.
I might try to get it booting, if possible; but I encourage you to wait for sources to the kernel to be available; then building PAC ROM from source.
I'll keep you updated if I get it booting at least (I hightly doubt I get it working)

That makes us two
The closest PACROM we have is by th3bill but it's android 4.1.2 without the halo and i like the 4.2 Quick setting and lockscreen D: but i like the DPI setting in PA, so PACROM running at 4.2.2 with new kernel is ideal !

Hi , I am developer I do not own this device. I will attempt at my best to provide a working build on cm-10.1 and maybe we can go even further. If you are able to donate a phone that will speed up the process if not it's ok . I will only work on this on weekends. I ask that anyone interested in helping me please PM me and get on hangouts. I will not be able to chat much nor always answer post. I am not the best developer , but i should be able to fix some things even without the device.

thanks a lot for ur help really appreciate it
The reason I post my ROM here is because I'm soon starting with a new rom, broodROM KitKat which will also be available for the Note 3, So I figured why not test it on my current AOSP ROM (to see if there is any trouble on compiling, but no!). This AOSP is based on the real Google AOSP, no real further modifications (only thing is that it includes DeviceSettings from the S4 currently), and AppOps is exposed. that's all.
It includes the stock CM11 kernel (which is kinda crappy). but I don't have the device so cannot make decent kernel myself without testing. Also the ROM is 100% untested. but it compiled without any error with my sources (www.github.com/AOSP-S4-KK) so I think it's alright.
Working List
- You tell me I have no idea :silly:
Download Alpha 1
www.broodplank.net/files/AOSP-442-N9005-Alpha-1.zip
on alpha 01 you need to flash a custom kernel
SEND ME LOGCAT! BECAUSE CURRENTLY IT SEEM TO BOOTLOOP
The device name is listed as hlte in settings / build.prop, don't worry this is actually hltexx
Download Gapps Lite + SuperSU (yes it's not rooted by default, I recommend installing this package)

Lol what the hell, that's almost impossible that my rom triggered download mode XD.
But it could be true, I have no clue since I do not have the device. what you could try is using the boot.img & /system/lib/modules from CM11 nightly.
btw, just downloaded CM11 and noticed there are NO modules in the kernel of hltexx. this means the kernel I added will not boot most likely.
So please install this zip after installing the rom:

Just bootloops with that .zip you added.
I did however change your kernel zip after the bootloop and used - temasek's HLTE custom kernel - I am now on the Android start up screen you have added but it is stuck on there.

Sorry I couldn't manage to get a logcat via ADB due to some kernel issues with connecting to the PC - I'll try again today. - Is It possible you are using the old CM sources rather than the unified build sources? - device changed from HLTEXX to HLTE

Ah I dropped the herp a derp then hahah, Nah reason I thought that was because of the CM kernel used to boot it up. Thanks for correcting :good:
---------- Post added at 08:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------
@gianton it'll boot into splash screen with temasek's kernel, if you wanna try and grab an ADB Logcat? - I'm having issues getting one :crying:
Sorry for not providing a good kernel, the thing is I cannot compile it decently with the ROM. it says I have to add module support and recontinue, thing is, the note 3 does not use it. but my build forces it.. Anyone have experience on CM with compiling the kernel? (the kernel is from CM after all)
You could try temasek or Yank555 or wootever for help with kernels as they're pretty decent at them - civato knows his stuff also, however I believe he has only worked with Stock samsung kernels and not CM stuff.
Still cannot get ADB logcat, phone won't recognise in PC
Hi folks,
I just started to port UbuntuTouch for the Sony Xperia Z Ultra and I think I should have a *.zip ready for testing in 2 weeks.
Until then, I will use this thread as a scrap book to document all the troubles I run into, all the things that needed my special attention and fixes that are not that obvious. I hope there will be some fellas brave enough to test everything and report back or even to join me with the development.
Best regards,
Kalle
First Update:
I found that the Ubuntu Touch version that ist based on CyanogenMod was not updated to a more recent version. This means that I have to either look into AOSP or backport everything to CM-10.1. I think backporting is kinda stupid because newer we are writing new software to improve things. Sadly I don't have much experiance with AOSP so I will have to find out how everything works and what the differences to CyanogenMod are.
The good news is, that I'm catching up with the mailing list, which means I'll have a place to call for help.
Also I'm in the progress to start a git repo, but I'm unsure what I will need to add, maybe some common stuff from sony does not need to be changed.
So long,
Kalle
Update!
There is a new porting guide! See here
I already freed some space for it and ordered a bit more ram so after my exam next week, I'll pick this up/Start all over.
Hope you are as excited as I am,

I keep meaning to reply to this thread... Thanks for putting the effort in to get this working. If you want any hints/tips etc from my experience in getting slim and carbon built for the ZU just ask, I'll be willing to test aswell

Cool, thanks can you give me a hint on how to deal with new targets in Aosp? I mean setting up the files in a way "lunch" is able to find the right target.

vendersetup.sh file in vender/ might be what you are looking for?
have a gander at this http://www.kandroid.org/online-pdk/guide/build_new_device.html
How are you doing on this? I've just started working on this as well and am curious to know how far along you've gotten/what issues you've run into.

So I've gotten the build to start, but I'm running into issues with libhybris:
ubuntu/hybris/compat/media/media_codec_layer.cpp:51:40: fatal error: gui/IGraphicBufferProducer.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [out/target/product/togari/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libmedia_compat_layer_intermediates/media_codec_layer.o] Error
I'll post here once I've found a solution.

Yeah, thats as far as I got, too. :-/ I tried removing all different libs or compiling different parts and leaving others out but I couldn't get any futher. Also I saw your post to the mailing list but it seems like you wont get a helpful reply either. As far a I could track this problem is the incompatibility of togari CM-11 and the ubuntu AOSP source tree. On xda-university there is a guide for porting from CM to AOSP which I will try but maybe you should take a look, too. Anyways: Great to see there is someone else except lazy me working on this.
Best regards,
Kalle

I actually got past the libhybris issue. The problem was that the porting guide is out of date. It's based on using cm-10.1 whereas the current source for Ubuntu is based on cm-11.0. So if you use 4.4.2 instead instead of 4.2.2 then it works. But there are so many other issues and the documentation for fixing them is so poor. I've kept a running list of problems I've come across and the solutions for them (it's below).
Also they dropped the whole UCM thing so you should be able to get sound working once you actually get a working build, but I couldn't get it to build. The error that is currently in my way has to do with "No rule to make target signapk.jar needed by com.qualcomm.location" or something or other. And I found nothing on how to solve that online.
At this point I've decided to take a short break from the whole thing because it's so frustrating.
Once I get motivated to work on it again, I'll probably start from scratch.
Issues List (I apologize for not being specific about the errors, I didn't write them down verbatim):
If you get an error about libelf you need to add CyanogenMod/android_external_elfutils to your local_manifests/roomservice.xml and also add external/elfutils under subdirs in build/core/main.mk
Don't forget to also add device/sony and vendor/sony to build/core/main.mk as well.
The build will complain about not having a rule to make android-boot.img. To fix you have to go to device/sony/fusion3-common/custombookimg.mk and change boot.img to android-boot.img. You need to make the same change in device/sony/rhine-common/custombootimg.mk
I got an error about android.hardware.bluetooth_le.xml. If you just restart the build it doesn't complain, but I didn't find a proper solution to that.
If you get the libhybris error you have the wrong version of the Ubuntu source. Make sure you're using 4.4.2 when you phablet-dev-botstrap. It should be phablet-dev-bootstrap --sources aosp --repo-branch phablet-4.4.2_r1 [target_directory]
You might get an error about a product_config.mk and how it's missing a makefile for togari. You have to make sure that in device/sony/togari Android.mk, cm.mk, full_togari.mk, and vendorsetup.sh PRODUCT_NAME is the same. I solved this by changing PRODUCT_NAME to cm_togari in all of them and then renamed full_togari.mk to cm_togari.mk
You might get an error like MODULE.TARGET.SHARED_LIBRARIES.libOmxCore already defined in hardware/qcom/media. You should have CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_media-caf-new in your repo manifest with a path of android/qcom/media-caf-new so you can safely rm -rf the hardware/qcom/media directory to get past this error.
If you get an error about dtbToolCM, add /device/qcom/common/dtbtool to your subdirs in build/core/main.mk
You may get an error about mkbootimg, that's because Sony uses a different version of mkbootimg. The only option I found was to download it from the internet (Thanks DooMLorD!). Once you get that version edit device/sony/rhine-common/custombootimg.mk and replace $(MKBOOTIMG) with the path to your downloaded mkbootimg binary.
You might get an error about no rule to make target something/something/signapk.jar needed by something/something/com.qualcomm.location. I didn't find a solution to this error.

Thanks for that list, it's sure to help some one. I think I have had most of those errors in trying to get aosp to build.
Can I copy those errors to my [DEV]Random thoughts thread?

Sure, feel free. I built CM for all my devices and regretted not keeping such a list when I did that. So now every time I work on a build I keep lists like that. Eventually, when I have a working build, I'll post a guide for how to build following the same steps I took.

Yeh carbon and slim were easy to build, and simple fixes. AOSP on the other hand I wish I had kept a build log
Ah nice, when I last checked CM-11.0 was not working with the 4.4.2r2 branch. I think I know how to fix the problem with the *.apk. Basically you have to remove all java dependencies from all the makefiles. I will look it up, so I can tell you what to grep for. Do you have a git repo we can work on, or should I add you to mine (which is just a fork of the CM-repos)? I will take a look at the sound in the next days. Thanks for you list!
Keep it up,
Kalle

That could potentially be a major source of my problems. i wasn't aware of that.

All I have at the moment is a fork of the CM repos. Feel free to add me to your repo. My username on Github is Kohelet as well. I can start to look into removing java dependencies as well.
As for the sound, the mailing list made it appear as if it was a simple matter of running
Code:
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ci-train-ppa-service/landing-018
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-module-droid
I could be wrong though.
Hello there.
Here is device tree:
DOWNLOAD from My github.
It is in Alpha (developers) release as probably You will need to fix few errors by hand....but, anyway, someone must to start with something....
Kernel is in this moment not released by HTC, but We can do some things with prebuilt kernel.
PREPARATION:
Please, after You pull it inside cm-13 source, GET VENDOR FILES by cd into device/htc/htc_a51ul and
Code:
./extract-files.sh
(with connected phone in adb enabled mode)
Second, please comment out in BoardConfig.mk following line:
Code:
TW_THEME := pure4
and uncomment:
Code:
TW_THEME := portrait_hdpi
as I wasn't release yet pure4 design skin to github.
Third, if You cannot handle "BSP" (and it's about 99% that You can't ) comment out:
Code:
TARGET_USES_QCOM_BSP := true
and remove flag
Code:
-DQCOM_BSP
from COMMON_GLOBAL_CFLAGS
Then You are ready to build (until first error come)
PLEASE, don't take advantage with this if You really don't know how to handle errors as I will NOT help or respond on PM's regarding help about building this.
When something come up, will make post/and/or attach possible working image.
Cheers
EDIT1: dts is attached, so if someone like to play with kernel... Check it out. I will put changes to 64bit kernel on My github soon with this device tree.
EDIT2: kernel is updated. You can grab it on MY GITHUB
EDIT3: BoardConfig.mk is changed, so no need to change twrp skin and BSP (steps second and third).
Thank you, btw. great job!
Great beginning!
So, things changed... Kernel updated, device tree updated, read.me updated.
Please be free to pull Kernel and make changes so We can got it working. I was made first steps and don't have so much time to make all this together work but if few of dev's come aboard and take work, We can make it work soon.
So i am quite interested in this device, don't own it yet so @fergy would appriciate it, if you could push vendor (too much work to do it all manually, especially the makefile ).
Thanks.
List of vendor files are under my github device tree... When you extract files, makefile will be builded under vendor/htc/devicename

I know that, but since i don't own the device i can't pull blobs using the script (obviously), so it would be awesome if you could create the vendor (run the script), git init and push
btw i remade the device tree based on the htc a5, looks much better now: https://github.com/Thecrazyskull/device_htc_a51ul
Thanks.

I pretty much lost interest, especially since i dont want to develop without owning the device.

Its a pain for myself, and i don't wanna go through that so i won't be developing for this device anymore unless i can get my hands on one (very unlikely)
