recaf - CAF enhanced AOSP for Xperia SP

Hello Boys and Girls,
Everyone at XDA loves AOSP based projects. However AOSP is designed only for the Nexus devices. For most other devices, a significant ammount of extra code needs to be added for them to run properly. For Qualcomm devices, most of this extra code is supplied by the Code Aurora Forums. Here you can find a variant of AOSP that is not only designed specifically for Qualcomm based devices, but it also includes various tricks and enhancements.
So today I'm introducing a little project I've been cooking up for myself, which might also be interesting for other Xperia SP users.
It's called recaf - adding the CAF optimizations back into your AOSP rom.
This is now based on Android 4.4 KitKat. On the surface, it looks almost exactly like pure AOSP as provided by Google. You wouldn't know just by looking at it, but under the surface there are lots of changes to dalvik, the frameworks and the hardware drivers to massively improve battery life.
However, pure AOSP sometimes feels a little bit featureless compared to advanced roms such as CyanogenMod, so I have included a few basic tweaks that I feel make life easier when using an AOSP-like rom:
CyanogenMod camera app - because AOSP camera app is rubbish
CyanogenMod cLock widget - because it's actually pretty nice
Integrated Superuser - it's right there in the settings menu!
exFAT and NTFS - needed for larger SDCards
Multicoloured notification lights - AOSP gives us white lights only
Quick settings - easily accessible by swiping down the right side of the status bar
Advanced reboot - Always available in the power menu
ADB and SU security - root access is disabled by default
So without further delay, here is your download link:
recaf-4.K1-20131212-huashan.zip
recaf-4.K1-20131207-huashan.zip
recaf-4.K1-20131202-huashan.zip
recaf-4.K1-20131129-huashan.zip
recaf-4.K1-20131127-huashan.zip
I assume you will also want to install GAPPS, the version I recommend is the FULL version created by the Paranoid Android team from THIS THREAD.
For your first install you will need to flash the boot.img from inside the zip - SELinux changes for Android 4.4 will cause the zip to fail on other recoveries.

Known Major Bugs
Location services are currently broken for certain apps. fixed in 4.K1.
GSM data sometimes (very rarely) randomly disconnects until reboot - I need help to determine what causes this. If you can reliably reproduce this, let me know.
Android RunTime (ART) will fail at boot time fixed.
Known Minor Bugs
WiFi does not connect to WPA secured networks. WPA2 security works as expected.
For Superuser to work you need to change ADB access to apps and adb (in developer settings)
Language does not change in some parts of Android, most notably the Settings app. Most other apps work fine and I didn't touch the language code, so this is a CAF bug I will need to fix.
Custom notification colours for missed calls and voice mail don't work
LED on charging sometimes gets stuck when disconnected until reboot.
These are features, not bugs
Facebook sync cannot be activated.
Quick Settings poll
I created a poll about Quick Settings (discuss it there)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2550027

some feedback,
flashed rom+gapps= setup wizard FC
flashed rom=boot then reboot then flash gapps= profit
seems like integrated SU is not working properly for me though

Downloading...
One question though, did you manage to fix the "Phone" app battery drain issue?

Ahh yes the setup wizard will crash due to the above bug. You can skip it by pressing the four corners of the screen, start top left then go clockwise.

What are you trying to user Superuser for? I tested remounting /system and adding a file with Root explorer and it worked fine

@adfad666 thank you so much for sharing this rom! I have decided to switch to this one as my daily driver, pure stock 4.3 jellybean just the way i like it battery life is significantly better than cm10.2 and lag is non existent. Looking forward to future updates/bug fixes and of course AOSP kitkat roms!
Bug report: The notification light doesnt seem to work when charging via usb but works for notifications. Also, even though ive changed the notification lights to custom color values it still blinks white
ive attached a logcat below hope it helps.

Going to test this out as I'm currently running PAC and my battery ran out in 6 hours with 1 hour tops screen time. Hope this is better like the previous comment stated. Will post a small review afterwards.
Ok first off: battery life seems to be A LOT better than CM10.2/PAC.
Doesn't have SU installed by default, so I had to flash it.
Seems to be smoother than PAC. Might be placebo effect though.
1 question as well. Is there a way to enable facebook sync? I did it on CM10.* with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064859, but the CM10.2 apk doesn't work with AOSP

I noticed it works if you change the default notification colour, so I must have missed some part about the custom colours for apps.

Super user is for sure installed, but I think you need to enable developer settings for it to work. It's the exact same code as for CyanogenMod ( I didn't even fork it I just link to their projects) and I think super user is hidden and disabled there until developer mode is enabled. I'll add the code like CM has to hide it unless developer mode is enabled.

Unfortunately I encountered the same issue on this ROM too, I'll re-flash and provide a log tomorrow.

undoubtedly the best work so far
the ram and the battery is what most pleased in this rom
but heating in many aspect
I did return to the stock expecting some solution
or next actulizacion

SuperUser is working fine for me .
-I've some force closes in Drive app; but i disabled this app so the force closes are gone.
-I suffer a reboot when i start the camera for first time -> The screen turns purple and like "melted" and after that turns off. And later turns on again (reboot). Note: i've this bug in CM10.1 and CM10.2 when i was playing HD videos.

Strange colors in animation

Recently the touchscreen of my Z1 (C6902) cracked so I got it repaired by a local service guy as the phone is not worth the genuine screen now, at least IMO. Anyhow that's another matter to discuss.
My problem is that the screen works flawless in Stock Sony Android but if I flash CM or AOSPA the display shows some strange colors when showing animations or playing videos.
I have attached a video for reference.
CLICK ME FOR VIDEO!
Could anyone tell me what is the reason behind this strange behavior?
Is the display faulty or the service guy broke something while replacing the display?
Thank you and Regards

Welcome to the club. This is the problem with Chinese aftermarket displays. After struggling with this issue for months, I have good news and bad news.
The good news is the issue is absent in Kitkat and MM AOSP ROMs. So once MM becomes stable you should be good to go.
The bad news is, the issue will be present throughout any LP AOSP ROM you use. BUT, there is a temporary fix. Refer to my post here for details. You have to tweak the color values. This will result in an overall dimmer display, but I think it's worth it.

oh thank you so much for that valuable information.
I can live in peace now.
FYI, I've decided to look for some 4.4 ROMS rather than messing with the kernel which I'm sure will lead me to more bugs/problems.
Really thank you for the solution
BTW, what do you think will be better, Paranoid Android 4 or CM11?

You are not modifying the kernel. You just need to use Kernel Adiutor. In the screen section, you will find sliders to set values for the colors. Unless you want to mess up, you most likely wont. Even if you do, you just need to reboot to reset it. I would recommend LP as it has a better camera and is more secure when it comes to security patches. But if you're hellbent on a KK ROM, you could try optimumpro's Slimkat, which has all the patches upto January. Sure, it has less features, but it has all the necessary features.

No no, you only have to do the last part of that post, not the whole thing, unless you want to switch to MM. Just boot up a LP AOSP ROM, install a kernel with kcal (like M5Kernel), install Kernel Adiutor and switch the color values to what I've mentioned in that post.

Damn I feel so stupid -_-
Thank you for pointing that out, you have no idea how many google links I opened, searching for the latest FTF.
I did not change any kernel, just flashed SuperSu and installed the app and set the values as told in that post.
It's looking OK for now, will test more tomorrow.
Once again, thank you very much
UPDATE 2 :-
I was using Kernel Adiutor to manage the colors of the display as told by the @drakonizer which was working great but had a small bug.
It's that Kernel Adiutor resets the colors value if I turned on Live Display in CM settings.
So a better way to manage the colors is to use the calibration feature in Live Display settings in CM.
Right now I've disabled Kernel Adiutor and using the 75, 60, 60 values in CM settings and everything is looking great even when Live Display is turned on.
UPDATE 1 :-
I've used it for a day now, here's my feedback.
1. Low brightness is really a problem in sunny day. I've set the colors value to 25 and 23-23, it's looking normal right now, will let you know after day testing.
2. Phone is getting much more warmer than before, the reason could be anything, from faulty display to faulty service of the mobile to buggy software/app.

Yes frame drops while scrolling on everything and sometime it gets very laggy like 14 fps

You can try to go into developer options and change window/ transition/animator scale to .5x and turn on the force GPU rendering.

Maybe a rogue app running in the background that MIUI restricts by default or dumps from ram earlier than RR? I (and many others) have had no issues on RR. Are you using dragonxia kernel with the thermal fixes and ghostpepper?

New update rolling out - 14 June

File Size - 397.23 MB
For more information , go to offciial Asus website :
https://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=217213&extra=page=1&mobile=2
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Since the server pushes update notice to different serial numbers by batches, it may take some days for you to receive the FOTA notice. Thanks for your patience. You may tap “System updates” in [Settings] >[System] to check if there is new firmware available. Or, you can also try to manually update firmware by referring to the following link.
How to update firmware on my phone?
【Release Note】
1. Enable IN Airtel/Idea/Vodafone & ID smarfren & TH DTAC/AIS/True 3rd & RU Megafon/MTS VoLTE & RU MTS VoWifi
2. Optimize fingerprint unlock speed.
3. Improve Camera performance.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Please download and give review about camera and finger print scanner.
PS : Reminding me of my first Motorola Moto G (1st gen) 's frequently updates ( Lenovo killed it though)

Fingerprint scanner is faster now.
Camera slightly better .. especially front camera.
Device is HD capable notification removed with VoLTE icon added in status bar.
New setting under Display named Smart Screen which will prevent screen timeout if you are looking at the screen.
Battery seems to be even better but it's too early to tell.
Face unlock improved slightly.

Yeah the device now supports Airtel Idea and Vodafone VoLTE.
Camera (Especially Front Cam) has improved a lot since last update.
Added VoLTE icon instead of previous 'HD' icon.
Fingerprint sensor is also working more fluidly and efficiently.
Face Unlock is also better than before but still needs a bit fixing maybe with future updates it'll become more secure and efficient.
Attaching a screenshot for those who complained about the Device not supporting Airtel Volte!

We can even alter the temperature of screen within display settings.
Fingerprint and face unlock has surely improved alot.
Camera has now better accuracy in portraits.
But still no support for live wallpapers.
Even, no improvement in audio through wired or bluetooth earphones.

This update removed MusicFX (system equalizer)?
For some reason my MusicFX is gone after this update. Screenshot attached, every music player i have (PowerAmp, Retro Music, Play Music) can't find the system equalizer. How do you report this (and other possible bugs) to Asus anyway?
And yes, fingerprint got better.

pls provide latest xxxxxx309 ota update zip file for
ZB601KL

The multi touch issue still hasn't been fixed. I thought it will be fixed with the May Security patch. Can anyone else check the same?

Hell Yeah No Equalizer in Play Music! Earlier it had Equalizer settings and although i didn't have any issues regarding the audio quality (I have used K3 Note which has Dolby Atmos) still I changed Equalizer Setting to get more Bass! But Now no Equalizer! No MusicFX. Is there any way to Give Feedback about this to Asus.
**Update** I've found some articles(From BGR) on Google regarding installation of Snapdragon Music App and MusicFX. Originally they were posted for OnePlus 5 but now it shows that the apps can be installed on any Snapdragon Device without Root. So can anyone check whether I should install it or not? will it cause any trouble to my phone afterwards? Please Reply!!!

Yes .. Asus has atleast communicated to reviewers that it will provide bi-monthly security updates.
The updates are minor changes and not major upgrades like MIUI8 to MIUI9 or Nougat to Oreo .. so safe to assume that it will get security patches atleast.

Thanks a lot! So i tested it right away, and it works, at least the MusicFX came back and worked without the need to manually push it to system. Once you installed it, you'll be presented with 2 options when you go to the EQ screen, to use Snapdragon Audio+ or just MusicFX (look at my screenshot). Use whichever you want, it will open the same EQ screen with same setting.
I used the XDA link, there you have the option to download 2, APKs: MusicFX.apk, and SnapdragonMusic.apk. The Snapdragon Music didn't work, however. It forces closes. Don't really matter tho.

Once you installed it, you'll be presented with 2 options when you go to the EQ screen, to use Snapdragon Audio+ or just MusicFX (look at my screenshot). Use whichever you want, it will open the same EQ screen with same setting.
I used the XDA link, there you have the option to download 2, APKs: MusicFX.apk, and SnapdragonMusic.apk. The Snapdragon Music didn't work, however. It forces closes. Don't really matter tho.

You're Welcome! Hey but one thing I've noticed is that my device doesn't show any option for Snapdragon Audio+. Mine just shows Equaliser and MusicFX while choosing Equalizer settings in Play Music.

Guys double tap to wake and swipe to wake is working?

Try this ..
Go to ZenMotion settings ( System - Gesture -ZenMotion )
Disable it with the Toggle on the top & enable it again.
Disable double-tap-to-wake and enable it again.
See if it is fixed.

Hey guys
I unrooted my phone and flashed stock recovery.
But bootloader was still unlocked.
I tried to update but update failed.
What happened here?

will not work.. you will have to flash the 247 fastboot ROM first and then update using the 309 ROM. Remember that with fastboot 247 ROM the bootloader will get locked again (you can edit the flashall.bat file to remove the commands for locking the bootloader). Unfortunately the fastboot method will reset your phone.

Question januar update / rooted

Guys, do you already have the Januar update installed?
Is everything OK? I read somewhere that someone had a problem with applications crashing.
I would like to update via pixelflasher.
Thank you.

I updated with PixelFlasher, and as I posted above, everything is working just fine. I didn't disable any modules or anything, just used PF to patch and flash the update.

Yes. In fact I confused your post as being in the AOSPMods thread. (Thus my reference to a non-existent "post above", lol) The XDA mobile app is not very clear at times.

this sounds incredibly brave. Every guide I've ever read warns to turn off modules. Did you know ahead of time it might work or did you forget to turn them off? I'm tempted to try now.

I'm used to recovering from boot loops and whatnot, so I haven't really given it a second thought.
FYI, I'm currently running:
AOSPMods
DTSX UItra ZTE A2020G Pro (audio fx mod)
Shamiko
Universal safetynet fix
Zygist - LSPosed
I hope that info is helpful.

does gpay with nfc payments and banking apps work with that?
regards

Gpay works fine for paying in apps like Dunkin, etc. but I have not tried NFC. I use my watch for that. My banking apps all work well too. Only Chase complains about root and won't let me use fingerprint for sign in, which is typical for their app without jumping through a bunch of hoops.

Where did you find this audio mod and which one works with the P7

I came across the module when Googling for alternatives to V4A.
The project is here on Github: https://github.com/reiryuki/DTSX-Ultra-ZTE-A2020G-Pro-Magisk-Module
Since Viper4Android doesn't work with my P7 due to unsupported CPU architecture, I use this one instead. It works better than many I've tried. I mostly use it for the built-in compression which is on par with V4A. It's a massive help to smooth out the volume levels in podcasts while I'm out running.

This version of V4A works on the Pixel 7 series. Not all options are available presently so it might not have what you want, but they are working on bringing full functionality.

Thanks for the link! I checked it out, but the Playback gain control and FET Compressor that I was looking for are not operational yet. Still, there is a lot of good functionality there and progress is coming along nicely.
I'll definitely be keeping an eye on the project as more features are added.

No problem. Also, AML v.4.2 was released yesterday to support V4A-RE so you can now use other audio mods (I've only tested JamesDSP) with it.

By coincidence, I noticed that update to AML this morning. Looking at the changelog, I saw the V4A-RE support but didn't even realize what it was until you brought it to my attention, lol. Perhaps I'll re-enable AML and run it alongside DTSX for a while.
Thanks again.
