compilation attempt
Hi @nervousapp,
I'm attempting a build myself using the guide published by Sony recently, but I'm stuck at some errors:
system/sepolicy/Android.mk:79: warning: BOARD_SEPOLICY_VERS not specified, assuming current platform version

If I set ALLOW_MISSING_DEPENDENCIES=true I don't get much further:

Did you also encounter these/could you give me a pointer how to complete the compilation successfully ? (I don't want to sound stereotypical, but I think it warrants mentioning I'm on Arch (maybe something's fukcy with my environment))

You have to get the file here https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/vendor-sony-kernel and put it in kernel/sony/msm-4.9/common-kernel/ and all will be fine.
You may experienced another error, see https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Android-9-x-Pie/Compilation-error/td-p/1339265

I have also experienced no boot with the aosp-eng but the userdebug boot like a charm ?

---

Thanks for the heads up! I am building userdebug now from a xubuntu livecd because I kept getting the libloc_pla dependency error. On the livecd I'm not getting the error. So probably some environment issue on Arch, if I find a solution I'll post it here for future google passersby.

Sorry for the noob question, but what dit you choose at the following step?
Code:
source build/envsetup.sh && lunch
And another question. Which version of Ubuntu did you use for the successfull build?
Thanks a lot!

---

I chose option: 64. aosp_f5321-userdebug
and the livecd I compiled with is: xubuntu 18.04.1
As nervousapp already mentioned, as of yet flashing (unofficial) 9.0 gapps is not possible as it will cause a boot hang.

If you want someone to comment on your build then please upload it. I guess quite many can test it.

Small update: Sony updated their guide and manifests to android-9.0.0_r6 and opengapps officially released 9.0 gapps. So I attempted another pie build to see if meanwhile the 'gapps bootloop' issue was addressed. Sadly this is not yet the case.

I build a new one also but in my case it was stuck at sony logo instead of bootloop.

---

Did you build userdebug or eng ? Because eng hangs on boot still.

---

Nope. It was userdebug.

Today I built again. This time I removed kernel files completely from both 4.4 and 4.9 folders, and synced. Build was successful. At first boots it gives an error saying device failed verification or something like that and powers off. But next time boots up. Basic things seems like working. Camera works but Video recording doesn't. WiFi works. Fingerprint sensor doesn't work. Bigger problem is gapps also doesn't work . Twrp flashes it successfully but when it boots up you see Google apps is not actually there. I couldn't see any error messages in gapps log neither. I didn't test it extensively so there may be other problems but these are the ones noticed at first glance.

Same here with the verification issue on boot, @oshmoun already reported it as a bug:
https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/bug_tracker/issues/177
Meanwhile I've been able to build omnirom 9.0 with some minor compiling-hindrances. It boots and almost everything seems to be working quite neatly! A couple of issues I've encountered thus far:
- The wifi module bcmdhd needs some firmware files placed in the correct location (they're in the process of switching kernel modules from bcmdhd to brcmfmac.)
- The video recording crash issue @maluus described also occurs on omnirom 9.0.
- The screen won't go off (this can be circumvented by switching 'Display -> Advanced -> Ambient display -> Always on' off)
(- my pet peeve: 'volume rocker next/previous track control during screen off'-feature missing)
Main plus for me is gapps can be installed to omnirom 9.0. So I'll try to make it my daily driver, report me some bugs
