Question Android 13 build instructions - Sony Xperia 1 III

We are happy to announce that we now have launched AOSP build instructions for Android 13!
The Xperia Open Source Project (Xperia Open Devices) is an initiative created to guide the developers step-by-step on how to build AOSP for their unlocked Xperia devices. Our instructions will show you how to prepare your environment, how to download all the necessary tools, and how to download and configure the code before you can build AOSP images and flash them on your own device.
New AOSP build instructions for Android 13 | Developer World

Many thanks! I was wondering if you could help me with the following two issues:
Can't find binaries SW_binaries_for_Xperia*.zip (for Xperia 1 III Android 13) for step 7 "Flash vendor image to your device".
(Never mind, I read you said elsewhere to use the Generic Android 12 Vendor Image.)
Also DSU loader crashes when trying to load Android 13 experimental or any other GSI through "Developer options".

It depends on what the expectations are. The basic functionality is already working

Define basic functionality...like texting, data and phone calls???

what is the use of all these instructions if there are no developers who have made and supported at least a normal firmware based on android 12

Where do I start to learn developing Android ROMS?

1. CyanogenMod was my inspiration but if I go to the Wiki page it lists a prerequisite that I need to do a build or two. Do I just download any source and build it? Is there a way to test it?
(I have no supported devices)
2. Is CyanogenMod too advanced for a beginner? If so, which custom rom should I start with?
3. Do I need to formally learn C/C++ or is ok that I am mostly a hack?

Well I have started building from PAC. If your device is not compatible then you'll have to make it compatible (by editing device/$vendor/$device/*)
It is really easy. It took me only two days to figure out how and make a working build. Go for it. Use cyanogenmod as it is very vast... You need to learn XML. That's it.

[Sony] Xperia Open Devices Project

Sony Mobile is committed to supporting the open developer community, and one way to show this is by publishing parts of our code as well as selected tools developed by our internal developers.
For some of the Xperia™ devices, we provide Android™ Open Source Project (AOSP) device configurations on GitHub. This means that the software will be open for you as a developer to use and contribute to. This is a way for us to support the open Android community, and it is also a tool for us to facilitate and verify contributions to AOSP.
If you want to build AOSP for your unlocked Xperia device, you find all the resources you need in the sections below.

Does flashing those ROMS means that they are turned into Nexus?
I assume we will loose the camera software and also the radio?

Yes. It turn your phone into 6p. Including your camera quality.

Thx
Bye.
Lol, I am sensing a lot of sarcasm here.
I have used Nexus before, and I have used HTC devices that are flashed to AOSP.
So can I confirm that we loose the camera software and also the FM radio if we flash this AOSP? I don't have a better way to describe this other than "make it a nexus".

Forgive me if I am wrong, but last time I used the sony open devices firmware on my previous xperia, we kept the camera quality just with the AOSP app.
@jerpelea when following the commands here, and following them exactly step-by-step based on the guide, I get the following:

FYI, FreeXperia has released an experimental Nougat build for the X (suzu), which can be downloaded here.
I presume you can flash it onto your device by using fastboot.

Sailfish OS for Sony Xperia 1 and 5 (4.4.0.72)

Sailfish OS 4.4.0.72 for Sony Xperia 1 and 5​
These release notes cover Sailfish OS 4.4.0.72 for the following devices:
Sony Xperia 1 (J8110, J9110)
Sony Xperia 5 (J8210, J9210)
Intro​
This port has been updated last to the latest release of Sailfish OS 4.4.0.72 in addition to that several adaptation bugs discovered in the testing of the first release have been fixed.
Also several documentation updates or buildinfrastructure changes have been made.
Updates to these project components are now tracking in the main bug tracking repository SailfishOS-SonyXperia/bugs/releases.
The highlights in this release are:
[prjconf] Fix pattern dependencies. Fixes SailfishOS-SonyXperia/bugs#55, fixes SailfishOS-SonyXperia/bugs#59
[patterns] Require ngfd >= 1.4 instead of ngfd-plugin-native-vibrator. Fixes SailfishOS-SonyXperia/bugs#69
[configs] Keep dual sim configs on J9210/Xperia 5, remove on J8110. Fixes SailfishOS-SonyXperia/bugs#51
[kickstart] Fix @DEVICES@ name for Xperia 5/J9210 in flash-on-windows. Resolves SailfishOS-SonyXperia/bugs#50
Thanks to all who have provided testing, reported bugs or have contributed otherwise.
Functionality​The devices have the same functionality level as the Xperia 10 II port made by Jolla,
except in areas such as VoLTE where public packages are missing or in relation to Sailfish X features which are (currently) unavailable.
Known issues​
SailfishOS-SonyXperia/bugs#33
Because of a missing package inside the adaptation-common repository Windows binaries for flashing are missing inside the zip archive. To workaround that issue have added another zip file that includes these files as "droid-flashingtools.zip" to this release.
SailfishOS-SonyXperia/bugs#37
The launcher icons on the Xperia 1 are to small because there's no bigger graphics-theme size than 2.0.

About​
The goal of this project is to port additional Sony devices on top of Jolla's existing adaptations while staying as close as possible to the existing ports and contributing back to the upstream where possible.
Most of the changes from Jolla ports are adopted in both directions since the issues that one port has usually apply to the sister device of the same generation (e.g. Xperia 10 II -> Xperia 1/5).
This is the reason why changes from Jolla’s port end up in the changelog for these port,
in many cases because they also affect the specific port but not always.
Where possible changes that were done for this port go back to the _Mer-Hybris_ repositories such as the kernel or droid repositories.
The project is open for anyone that wishes to port additional Sony devices to Sailfish OS. Feel free to suggest new features, provide bug reports or to contribute.
Sources​Any sources specific to this port can be found inside the project linked above. The device repositories are named after the devices board name for example in this case kumano.
All our sources are included inside the project linked above.
All other sources are taken unpatched from upstream which is either Sony-AOSP or SailfishOS/mer-hybris.
If changes are needed inside upstream repositories these are submitted to the upstream repositories.
This GPL includes components such as the kernel or libhybris.
On pressure of XDA I add the direct link to the kernel repository, however the exact ref used during build
can be found inside the droid-hal repository, which in the case of the Xperia 1 for example, droid-hal-kumano.

Great job, thanks for making the port! Does it have Android app support? If it does I'll definitely give it a try, I saw on the SailfishOS official website that only the paid version can run Android apps...
Edit: I see why now, because of the very very long term support that you get, it's like 7 years of updates for a bit of money, that's pretty good.
just try to use on my device.
its first time for me using Sailfish OS.
but.
when i turn off the phone, and try to turn it on, it asks for the security code, after i enter the security code, it just loading in quite a long time,
then, simcard and wifi didnt works.
I can confirm, that neither data connection nor WiFi works.
Without any data such as logs I can't help you. Please create a bug in the bugtracker.
Please also make sure that you flash the version that matches your device.
Please follow this article to fetch logs:
https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013910599-Collecting-basic-logs-from-a-Sailfish-device
You can also try to flash the new images, I will add tomorrow.
I updated the release archives today:
Package ngfd as `CUSTOM_’ FFMemless vibration effects require newer version than packaged in SailfishOS 4.4.0.
Fix issue in ssu-vendor-data package that made the address of the adaptation repository invalid. [BUG] address of adaptation repo is invalid #49
I've installed Sailfish and its working fine. But i dont find access to install android apps. Is there a way to install APKs?

First of all, many thanks for your reply - very appreciated!
Yes, I've downloaded and flashed the appropriate version (J9210, Xperia 5, DualSim). As I've bought this device as a new one about 2 years ago, I've used it that time, and it worked. The bootloader was already opened; it was rooted, because of some rooting apps.
Therefore, it was not necessary to check, if data connection, wifi, gps, camera and so on works, because it worked.
I flashed sailfish os (with the latest software binaries, Android 10, Kernel 4.14 - as in the op described [the extracted .img I've placed in the same folder as your firmware, of course]) via Linux Mint.
The device boots up flawlessly, the screen is responding without any problem, and also the intro worked.
But I can't activate wifi. I can push the button, and it responses, but it don't activates wifi. Also, my sim card won't be recognized, therefore there's no chance to enter the sim pin.
So there's a few questions:
You write "please follow this article to fetch logs", but without a link... I guess, it's not like fetching logs in android? So would you please tell me, how I can do that, to provide you the log?
Or is it necessary to buy a Yolla licence? No problem, I would pay for it, but the Xperia 5 isn't listed yet on your homepage...
Thanks in advance for your kind reply!
P.S.: Yes, I've tried it 4 times (went back to the latest Sony fw), and the last time I've flashed the latest Sony fw even on slot a and b before flashing Sailfish OS again (the latest [1.06] for the Xperia 5 Dual Sim variant), but unfortunately every time with the aforementioned result...

Not you don't need to buy a license, the device isn't support by Sailfish X (it is not available so far for community ports).

Here's the basic-logs-2022-09-24-1031.tar from my device.
Thank's in advance!
In addition, the answers (sorry, almost forgot) to your questions:
Yes, I've downloaded the Sailfish_OS-Sailfish-SonyXperia-4.4.0.68-j9210-1.0.0.6.zip and the software binaries provided in your op.
I've only extracted the zip, but not the .img, ofc. Then I put the Software Binaries.img into the same folder as the firmware and run ./flash.sh

As there's one month left in the meanwhile, I only wanted to ask, if there's some progress regarding the J9210!? Is this the wanted logs, do you need some other, or has this project stopped?

The Xperia 5 firmware I've flashed is the J9210_Customized EU_55.2.A.4.332-R13C one. I'll flash it again and give SF OS another try. Perhaps it failed because my Xperia 5 was rooted and debloated; I also had AFWall+, the Xposed framework and XPrivacyLUA installed. I don't know...

I want to try it again, but it's a shame if it's without a simcard or wifi.
Well, now I've flashed the J9210_Customized EU_55.2.A.4.332-R13C fw, played around with data connection, wifi, bluetooth, camera, and everything worked.
Then I tried to install SF OS via Windows 10 64 bit, but there must be a mistake inside the script. I definitely own a Xperia 5 dual-sim (J9210)!!!!!!! But: Please have a look into the attached pic...
Then I tried to flash SF OS running Linux Mint (latest stable release); the flash ran through without any error, but again: No WiFi, no data connection.
I'm about to give up!!!
One note:
I've flashed so many devices, mostly LineageOS, but also Ubuntu Touch, and never had any problem like that - unfortunately, it's annoying...

Isually use Linux to flash but also should have checked the Windows flash script.
Please edit the batch script you called and replace j9210 with J9210.
I just fixed the issue but for now just change the flash script for Windows:
[BUG] Device is invalid in windows flashing script for Xperia 5/j9210 · Issue #50 · SailfishOS-SonyXperia/bugs
The @[email protected] in the kickstart script is written as j9210 but it should be J9210.

Thank you very much for the response - and your efforts, ofc!
Finally: It works
I had not to flash the latest firmware (doesn't work), but a rollback to the J9210_Customized EU_1320-0801_55.1.A.9.52_R10B fw before flashing Sailfish OS did the trick!

To be blunt as a rock, you should be doing this on a clean install or inside a container anyways. I'm surprised Sony is not providing us with one.

That's clear from step 1, but not necessary if Sony had created the build correctly. Modern build environments may coexist without issues.
Even apt-get is rather outdated.

The Guides are copy-paste since quite a time now. You basically just need to change the Tag each time You want to sync the Code. Anyways, sudo apt install works well on Ubuntu while some Parts cant be installed and need to be corrected like zlib1g-dev:i386 which is zlib1g-dev. WSL2 works fine on My W11 install.

There are many people involved working on it. It takes times and they need help with logs and testing since there are many supported devices. I am working myself on it with A13 and its a pain in the a** right now... Many small issues and missing stuff here and there. We are also talking about bugs like no Mobile Data + No Wifi and non working Cameras and such... It's a great Project but lacks Users and support...

certainly lacks people and support because the community is too small due to the high cost and unpopularity of the phone. To begin with, I would like to see a completely completed firmware like this https://sourceforge.net/projects/ancientrom/files/gsi/V6.4/ and only then firmware based on a13
maybe one day there will be one fully working ROM with a fully programmable assistant button and a working Sony camera. as well as all the advantages of custom ROM

in general, it doesn't matter, because official Google builds are 5 years behind amateur builds like crdroid and other teams. In my opinion, Android 12-13 looks gray, boring, not beautiful, sad, no transparency effects, colored notification icons. It feels like there are some idiots at Google who can't come up with anything worthwhile, or at least standardize what is already available in custom ROM. For example, it annoys me that the usual aosp assembly is empty, there you can't even adjust the height of swipes of control gestures

The Guides are copy-paste since quite a time now. You basically just need to change the Tag each time You want to sync the Code. Anyways, sudo apt install works well on Ubuntu while some Parts cant be installed and need to be corrected like zlib1g-dev:i386 which is zlib1g-dev. WSL2 works fine on My W11 install. Just give this a go:

would you want to update the aosp build guide as a how to do for xda?
i would certainly be interested in stock aosp build.
"Now you are ready to build AOSP images that can be flashed to a device. To do this, you have to point out your specific device and then start building the images."
this my current blocker. how would i point out the specific device? as i understand the command in the given step ( step5 ) it requires a source. that source is not specified in the builöd instructions or i didn't find them

How to install custom on Android if the hardware is not present on custom rom device list?

Hey, I want to install Pixel Experience custom rom on my Android Phone but unfortunately my phone vendor is not present on devices tab. In this case what should I do? How can I install custom rom on my Android phone?
My Phone is Techno Spark 6 GO.
you could try GSI but that device shipped Android (Go edition) usually for low ram. bootloader is unlockable?
Wnat is GSI? Generic System Image? Even if I am able to unlocked bootloader on my device then what then? Since I am not able to find custom OS for it.
