[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][6.0.1][SGP712/SGP771] ResurrectionRemix for Xperia Z4 Tablet[Alpha] - Xperia Z4 Tablet Android Development

ResurrectionRemix M for Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet Wifi and LTE (SGP712/SGP771)​
Code:
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/ResurrectionRemix 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

If you are the guys of RR for Nexus 6P .....I'm sooooo waiting for LTE version of this Rom SGP-711. I'm currently running MM 6.0.1 but this rom would make a huge difference.

No, I don't know about the Nexus 6P guy .
I hope to make a version for LTE one day, and for CyanogenMod too.
There is a problem with the cm rom I tried for the LTE version making it unusable. Since I don't have a LTE tablet, I'm waiting to have more informations from people with the SGP771 who tried this rom (I need at least a logcat, and I will see what I can do ).
This other big problem for the roms (AOSP, CM, RR, ...) is currently the camera. It's the same for almost all recent Sony devices, we're waiting new binaries from Sony to fix this. And there is the usb otg to fix too.
But the remaining seem to work pretty well

If we want to acheive the result, we should help andralex. I think our task is to install cm again and get logcat via adb.
But will it work om brokem cm? Is root access required for logcat?

---

Is there any plans to develop a customized stock version?

Good question! I think it don't need root, the logcat command worked for me as a simple user. The adb server should be already started on the tablet at the step when the rom crash, the only problem could be the secure debugging (you need to accept the computer's RSA key to have adb working). I don't know if the dialog will appeared, or if it will be possible to accept if the Trebuchet error stay on top.
It's possible to disable this security on build time, I will make that if it's not possible to accept the key.

Not for the moment. I'm focusing on the roms built from sources. Maybe later if it's not possible to get fully working cm/rr roms (e.g. camera never works), but I don't think so.

Well, hope never dies.

There is my first ResurrectionRemix build for SGP771 :
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24659351692116030
It's not tested right now, but the CyanogenMod version for SGP771 works, so it should works .
I'll update the thread tomorow to support SGP771 (unless you tell me it's not working).

Thanks for creating the build for the SGP771!
I installed it a few hours ago on my device and, so far, seems stable and quite like it.
Please let me know if I can help you with the SGP771 testing (feedback, logs, etc). I'm very inexperienced in the build process but always willing to learn.

I only now tested the SIM card slot and it does not even recognise when there is a card inserted, even after rebooting the device.

Thank your for testing .
Could you send me a logcat with the SIM card inserted to see where this problem come from ?
@alex009988, I checked your logcat, it seem that on CyanogenMod the tablet can connect to mobile network (at least I saw a HSPA/3G+ connection and the device got an ip address from this network before connecting to wifi), can you confirm ?

---

Hi. Sim card works well, it can make calls and go online. I confirm it.

---

Interesting. I think it's not a bug, but maybe feature of aosp Sony sourses. So, IMHO, doesn't need to be fixed.
Cm on my tyblet calls all networks by the same name.
A attached screenshots from spg771 and xiaomi redmi note 2. My operator is tele2 on both devices.
PS I haven't checked for LTE cuz it's a bit far from my home. But I guess it should work.

@andralex8
I generated a logcat with a SIM card inserted and started the logging as soon as the system was up.
During the 3 or 4 min captured in the log I also extracted and inserted the SIM tray immediately after, in order to check if any event was logged.
I will also go through the log to see if there is anything obvious.
Hope this helps!

Sorry, duplicate post.

How did you flash the ROM? With androplus recovery and factory reset(wipe)? Are you sure that sim card is not broken? With stock ROM, does it work? I think it's kinda impossible that one man have no problem with sim card and another have it with the same device.

I never got to try the SIM card slot while in stock ROM. Even though I have an LTE version it's not a feature I use.
Yes, I used TWRP: cleaned system, data and both cache partitions. Then had to side load the .zip file as I didn't have a micro SD card available. The installation was successful.
Prior to this I had installed an AOSP ROM compiled by me following Sony's instructions. However, as written before, all partitions were wiped before installing RR.
Just for my understanding: you have an SGP771 using this build of RR and your SIM card slot works?
