Your warranty may be voided ! I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications.
Issues:
- Back camera focus: image is blurred and color problem (waiting for new AOSP blobs from Sony)
- Minor bug with led while charging
- No FM radio
- Tell me what you find !
How to install
- Unlock your bootloader (you can save your TA partition before)
- Update your firmware to the last Marshmallow version (needed to update the bootloader, kernel will not boot if you use the Lollipop bootloader)
- Install AndroPlus kernel and TWRP
- Make a backup
- Push the rom’s zip to the SD card (optionnaly with gapps)
- Wipe System, Data, Cache, Dalvik cache
- Install the rom (and gapps if you want)
- Reboot
- Enjoy, and give me a feedback
Advice: You can use TWRP from Androplus before installing the rom. But it will not work with cyanogenmod kernel.
So, after installing the rom, you can use TWRP made for CM kernel (see the link bellow) and press vol+ at boot, or keep AndroPlus TWRP and use "fastboot boot boot.img", were boot.img is AndroPlus kernel.
Edit : my TWRP for CM seem to has a bug with touchscreem randomly not working, you can reboot the tablet with Power-Vol+ until the touchscreen works (it doesn't stop working after boot, it just works well or not at all), or use the fastboot method with AndroPlus Kernel.
I will solve this problem when I'll have the time.
Thanks

Questions
- Please, avoid asking things like: how to flash this rom, what is fastboot, …
There is enough documentation on XDA and others websites. You also probably should not use this rom if you don’t know how to recover a bricked device with fastboot and flashtool.
- I’m not a professional devlopper, I don’t receive payement for this, so don’t ask for ETA, for make a rom for an other devices, …
- I only have a wifi only Z4 tablet, I make a LTE version, but since I don’t own this tablet it’s not possible for me to debug like on my wifi tablet.
Reporting a bug
- Explain what happen with the more details you can: how does this bug happen, when, …
- Share a log if you can

Good to know that at last cyanogenmod was released for our tablet, hope it will be the same for SGP771 soon.

---

Audio fixed, now the tablet should have sound working properly

---

Great work! Hanging on for recovery code to be integrated after some foibles with fastboot on the sgp612.

Thank you!
In fact the current kernel/ramdisk can launch a recovery by pressing the vol+ when the led turn pink, but it cannot load the currently available TWRP recovery that need Androplus kernel.
I'm currently making a recovery that work with this kernel (it seem that it work with Androplus kernel too). It actually kinda work, it can wipe system and flash Cyanogenmod (not trying backup and restore yet). But the updater crash when trying to install Gapps, I need to fix this and it should be ok .

---

Awesome work, thanks! It's running pretty smooth. No problem booting TWRP manually from fastboot. Good luck hammering out the small things

---

TWRP is now working with the rom ! And without the need of the fastboot trick .
It's build to work with the kernel I used for cyanogenmod. (It work partialy with Androplus kernel too but with some limitations like adb is not working, ...)
This is the link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=67717

---

I forgot, but touchscreen may not work at first TWRP's boot. Just reboot the recovery and it should work again.

---

Recovery works great, no touchscreen issues after flashing it. :good:

I would be willing to test an SGP771 version, if you can compile one?
Also, are the install instructions still correct?

Should it not be the TWRP version you have built that should be used, as opposed to the AndroPlus version?

I will check this week-end if I have the time . But I must make a cm device repo from Sony's AOSP repo before being able to compile anything. So I don't promise anything, I will see.

You first need to have a working recovery to flash CyanogenMod. And for the Z4 tablet (and almost all Xperia), the recovery use the same kernel as the system because the recovery is not lauched by the bootloader, but after, by using the FOTAKernel partition as a recovery partition.
It's the reason for what when coming from stock I advise to use Androplus kernel and TWRP. After flashing CyanogenMod, the kernel is cm's one, then TWRP from Androplus will not work and you will need to switch for TWRP for cm kernel.
You can try to use TWRP for cm kernel with Androplus kernel. I tried and it seem to work, but since it's not compiled with this kernel it may not work properly. I didn't make an extensive testing for this configuration (Androplus kernel + cm TWRP), so I can't advise people to use it but maybe it's not a problem.

---

Bluetooth should be fixed, the annoying bug with the keyboard is gone .
Using broadcom libbt from AOSP seem to fix the problem (thanks again to Sony Kitakami Platform Developer Organization)

---

Sensors fixed !
Now automatic rotation work (and other sensors too).

Is sgp771 going to be supported?

So, you will tell me that yourself if it work or not when I'll make a test rom for SGP771 .
I already take a look and it have most of the device tree common with the SPG712, so I think it should not be too difficult to have a working rom for the sgp772 because it's working on the sgp712.

Great to hear that. The only difference is modem blobs between sgp712 and sgp771

All fresh from this night, this is a rom for the SGP771 (Karin) :
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424940766
I didn't test this rom because I only have a SGP712. Then, if someone can give me a feedback if the rom install and lauch correctly it would be great .
