Sorry if this question is absurd, but will this kind of ROM come with Overclock? Your webpage suggests something on 'More overclock' so I guess the ROM may come with it. Just curious, sorry >.<

"No rule to make 'out/target/product/tulip/boot.img' needed by 'out/target/product/tulip/boot.img' "
I build the kernel appart but I mis the needed .dtb file, anyone who can tell me how I can make it?

Already fixed it, the dtb was in the 32bit out folder. That was not where I expected it to be, but anyways now I can continue with the rom

I extracted the dtbs from the ftf and they are available in my github repo together with the decompiled dts:

Thanks, I managed to compile successfully, but couldn't boot the image stuck in fastboot mode and when flashing it, got stuck on the sony logo :/

---

@husam666 Mine passes the Sony logo, but after that... Screen is black but vibration, usb mass storage, adb, and maybe more is still working. Looks like sony isnt yet done with our kernel, is here anyone with kernel experiences? I really need some help, I am good in device tree's but not in kernels... Btw, my device tree completely works! I compiled with success, i tried booting with stock kernel: resulted on Sony boot logo loop... My own kernel: resulted in black screen after sony logo, but as I can see using adb: it boots successful, vibration also works. When i click the power button for 2 secs.
So the screen is the only bug i know so far.
Anyone, please contact me if u think that u can help with the kernel
Kind regards,
Jeffrey

As I thought, Sony isn't yet done with our kernel.
I got confirmation on github :

If it boots that's really good news, I don't know anything about kernels, sorry. Anyway twrp has an adb command line interface, which means we don't need the screen in order to flash zips, atm I'm only interested in flashing supersu in order to root the phone.
So can you upload the kernel, please zImage and DTBs?
Thank you for your work

Does your recovery work with stock rom? Can you give me the .img file?
