[ROM][SNAPSHOT][8.1] LineageOS 15.1 for Xperia SP

AdrianDC · Oct 28, 2018

For information: I have been extremely busy with work over the last months,
and spend when I can the little free time I have on my Sony 8960 devices and LineageOS.

New 15.1 release: I just triggered a new 15.1 release for the Sony Xperia SP / T / TX / V to refresh the last one from August.

There's about one thing that makes me against moving to 15.1 officially, including for other Sony 8960 devices of the family,
and it needs time to be done properly and ready for official releases.

About Android Pie: The AOSP 9.0 and LineageOS 16.0 releases I made since the Android Pie release (for internal testing only initially..)
are almost finished as I (and some people I know) use it as daily since the start as well.

I'll see if I have time to take care of a few things within the next weekend for the 16.0 sources.

Dear Adrian, massive gratitude for your continuous work! I just installed your Android Pie (1 Oct release), it is awsome! I think it deserves a brand new thread here on XDA!

I also think it does, since 1 - 2 months, but haven't had time to actually do it.
I'll probably do it next time I can work on it.

Note: I rewrote all my Mega shell tools to implement mega-cmd instead of megatools,
for various reasons most of my releases since a few months were failing to release on my Mega main downloads.

hey ho !

i'm in the midst of downloading lineage-16.0-20181001-UNOFFICIAL-huashan (thanks adrianDC), and keen to have any comments from users

can i do a dirty flash, or am i damned to go for a clean install - no big deal, but if it ain't broke (and the rom i run works really well) - then i'm not in a hurry to break it

cheers for any info before i commit to the change

ps. i note that the ring volume is pretty low on 15.1 also, and the vibration close to zero - any simple work arounds ?
other than that i have been loving this rom long time

Hi scruffy,
I cannot remember whether I did a dirty flash or a clean install, but I can assure you that the ring volume in Lineage 16.0 is perfectly loud.

thanks hannor

i'll give it a run :good:

edit

well, the ring is a bit louder; the vibration is definitely more intense

downsides :

google search bar is tenacious and can't be disappeared, although you can make other screens and ignore it
all the lovely setting for the camera seem to have been lost - is this just pending, or do i have to load something i forgot to do ?
the screen brightness goes to volume 11 (if you've seen spinal tap, you'll get what i mean)

but it all seems to work okay otherwise

Dear Adrian, please pay attention to bootloader:
in line "/ dev / block / zram0 none wap defaults zramsize = 419430400, zramstreams = 2"
should be replaced by
"/ dev / block / zram0 none wap defaults zramsize = 536870912, notrim" for low ram false
and "/ dev / block / zram0 none wap defaults zramsize = 268435456 " for low ram true
why so, because "zramstreams = 2" is not a valid command and dual compression stream is heavy for 8960 (only 1 streem), but if you really need to, write
on early-init
**** write / sys / block / zram0 / comp_algorithm lz4
**** write / sys / block / zram0 / max_comp_streams 2
and one more line
write / sys / module / msm_show_resume_irq / parameters / debug_mask 1
must be deleted or replaced by
write / sys / module / msm_show_resume_irq / parameters / debug_mask 0
After these changes, device works faste.
...command notrim - do not unload of zram compressed data, which gives a high performance.

Since I was about to build myself a new 15.1 today, I will test your suggestions. Thanks!

Edit: Your suggestion is not too different from Adrian's settings. The kernel doc and modinfo for zram do not say anything about some 'notrim' option. The number of threads is automatically determined according to the kernel doc. I tried and did not find any improvements to Adrian's settings.

Hi,

I noticed some strange behavior with sound / music playback using headphones.
When using headphones and playing music through some music app (tested with AIMP, DI.FM and also Eleven) music plays fine until I open android settings or opening the app recents list - also turning off the display makes me hear nothing anymore while the music app still playing the music ... visualization on lockscreen is still there (when turning on the display again)...lights effects too...plugging out the headphones and then plugging them in again fixes the problem / silence...until next action like opening the app recents or so..very strange...

Can someone confirm that behavior? I've tested it on two huashans...

Sony Huashan migrated to LineageOS 15.1, the manual networks selection has been resolved.

Hi, Adrian, I had sent you an email about half month ago. It was about a cross-device bug of LineageOS 14.x and 15.x, did you notice it?
If not, here's the description:

When I long-press screenshot option (the one in power menu) into partial screenshot mode, and do nothing then exit partial screenshot, it will be unable to take screenshot with power menu again unless rebooting. But I can still take screenshot with physical keys.

Another similar bug happens when I enable airplane mode with power menu, it will be unable to disable airplane mode with power menu. I need to disable it with Settings or quick settings tile first, then I can enable airplane mode again but after that still can't disable with power menu.

I had tried to fix it by myself, but no idea about how to do. Not sure if this bug also happened on 16.0, so I feedback to you and wish being able to get your help. Thank you first here!

i'm running lineage 16.0 - lineage-16.0-20181001-UNOFFICIAL-huashan

screenshot seems to work fine, as does airplane mode... at least for me it does

my only complaint for 16 vs 15 is that the beautiful (i presume pixel) camera settings have now regressed to very basic only

is it possible to port the previous camera set up to 16 ?
i rarely use the phone for pics, but that was really impressive as a backup strategy when i wasn't carrying the rx100 (adrian isn't the only sony fetishist

)

Just to add that when I tried version 16 the camera app did not recognise my SD card.
I have reverted back to 15 experimental.

Thanks again Adrian.

scruffy1 · Dec 23, 2018

the camera ap works and will save to sd on my 16 install; i used "open camera" ap to add a bit of extra finesse

i would suggest you need a clean install of 16 - dirty simply doesn't play nice

I'm on the aosp rom atm, if I want to try this one, is it ok to just flash everything from twrp? What about the order?

clean flash for the win

rom first, then gapps, but as a single process with them lined up, clean the dalvik / cache > reboot to system and wait for the requisite stabilisation

enjoy !

only detriment is that the phone ring volume is not as loud as aosp ;(

LaRazón · Dec 23, 2018

Thanks! What about the kernel? Ring volume isn't a problem, not using it for that at the moment.

scruffy1 · Dec 23, 2018

the rom has everything set
