---

---

damn cool, i may try this next time

---

Amazing, thanks for this rom! I am gonna try this once Sony stop doing security updates for the Xperia 5 and then I will also try LineageOS and see which one is better! Thanks for this rom though, I really thought this phone was gonna be dead after support stopped from sony, the community isnt too big for the Xperia 5 but its a great phone, just needs some roms.

---

OMG @Sjll i love You! Glad to see You again <3

---

Please can you make this ROM for Xperia 1? Would really appreciate it.

---

Things i have notices so far:
- ROM is only on Bootslot B and is Set as Default
- Bootslot A still Runs Stock
(Fixed that by Manually flashing everything to A with Fastboot (Extracted Payload Bin)
- Display/Framework Overlay isnt fitting right
(Some Apps have cutted Statusbar)
- Batterylife isn't that great compared to Stock/GSIs
- Recovery is almost useless for any flashing since it only Supports Metadata based Installers
Wish there would bei TWRP for Our Devices. Think that would Change a Lot for US... Eg fixing the ROM Installer for A/B and releasing Patches from My Side. Stock ROMs would also bei possible...
Thanks anyways for the great AOSP ROM! Havent found any big Bugs yet

I encounter a problem with microphone system. Its default choice is to use some microphone which is not the main one, and affect all the actions that using microphone (video recording, calling...)
So far the only app I can use the microphone properly is mcpro24fps, where I can choose which Audio Source input, which is not the option on almost apps out there including the stock ones

Any Update?
