Installation guide for new users:
Things you need:
- Stock firmware (if you're not on .291): https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56046548&postcount=2
- TWRP Recovery image: Above in OP, downloads area
- The ROM: Above in OP, downloads area

Make sure you're on the latest stock firmware, version 23.5.A.1.291
If you're not:
1. Download the firmware from the above link or somewhere else, it doesn't matter which region you pick
2. Flash the FTF file with Flashtool, latest version obtainable here: http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
3. Power off the phone after completion

Flashing TWRP Recovery:
1. Download from above
2. Enter fastboot mode - while the phone is off, hold the vol up button and insert your USB cable (connected to PC), blue led light should appear
3. Enter the following command: fastboot flash FOTAKernel twrp_z3c_2017-04-26.img (or whatever the file is called)

Flashing the ROM:
1. To enter recovery, hold the power and vol-down keys while the phone is powered off
2. Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache
3. Select the ROM zip and flash away
4. OPTIONAL: Flash any extras, Gapps (open gapps work well) and root from here: https://download.lineageos.org/extras use addonsu-arm-signed.zip for ROOT, not SuperSU
5. Reboot

If coming from previous version:
What I recommend is full wipe. No support for those who dirty flash.
- Backup apps with Titanium Backup or other alternatives.
- Backup SMS/call log with SMS backup app.

Known Issues
* Bluetooth connection issues
* Mobile data reconnection issues
* Encryption and adoptable storage leads to bootloops

How to report bugs:
- Attach any relevent logs: dmesg or logcat (clear logs with "adb logcat -c" first, then reproduce issue)
- For random reboots, provide a last_kmsg
- Screenshots or written explanations of how to reproduce

@nailyk @tomascus great work!
Now, for those of you getting the Error7 in TWRP, delete these lines from META-INF>com>google>android>updater-script
Code:
(!less_than_int(1490124938, getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))) || abort("E3003: Can't install this package (Tue Mar 21 19:35:38 UTC 2017) over newer build (" + getprop("ro.build.date") + ").");
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "D5803" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "D5803" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "D5833" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "D5833" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "z3c" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "z3c" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "aries" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "aries" || abort("E3004: This package is for device: D5803,D5833,z3c,aries; this device is " + getprop("ro.product.device") + "."););
ui_print("Target: Sony/D5803/D5833:6.0.1/23.5.A.1.291/2769308465:user/release-keys");
ifelse(is_mounted("/system"), unmount("/system"));
If anyone asks about how to fix error 7... I will personally send hand them over to cannibals XD

Thank you,mcgi5sr2, nailyk Yes, it really takes a very long time to install the firmware. Camera does not work. Black screen, the first launch of the camera with the button, now without a button on the display, very sorry. :(
P.S. Gapps is not set

Guys, just to clear out any misconceptions, the ROM is fully working and stable for daily use . The build was taken down because of a model specific issue. A new fixed build will be out soon. (No I am not developing it. Just testing the builds)

Is that model specific issue a not working camera? Expect that seems stable, some lineageos settings crash also but that's not a big deal.

    New release out, everything else broken not included in changelog is a WORK IN PROGRESS (maybe), including the dreaded phone trying to suicide at night issue.
    I would also appreciate if this thread is kept on-topic to development related material only.
    Also, just a gentle reminder that extra features not in plain LOS will not be added like Substratum support etc.
    Thanks.

    Hi people,

    You might be all wondering what has been happening lately so I'll give an update.
    We've stopped using our own little gerrit and have moved to the official LineageOS Gerrit for code review. Also, all the device trees and kernels have all been pushed to LineageOS repos as well.
    Does this mean that we are official now? Nope, there are still some outstanding issues that need to be dealt with before that can happen, but it is progress. I can't give an ETA on these things because seriously who knows?
    It's like asking someone how long it'll take to complete their homework, they might get stuck on a really hard question for a long long time and need heaps of time to finish it. Similarly, the issues with hardware encryption have not yet been resolved, as well as 3am reboots (possible solutions being tested), and bluetooth issues among other things.
    So, TL;DR just chillax and wait or contribute fixes to speed things up.

    Furthermore, I was working on Rhine platform bringup last week, which you can see on the Xperia Z1 forums with some ROMs being based entirely on our work. :D

    Anyway, hope to put out a release after July security patches are merged in LineageOS sometime this month (no idea when, don't ask).
    23
    New release. I don't know what happened to the OP.
    Please restart once for camera to work.
    Please make a backup in TWRP before flashing, I haven't had any opportunity to test this myself.
    Also, make sure to flash the new recovery to avoid error 7, link is with ROM link in the OP.
    Flash with: fastboot flash FOTAKernel twrp_xxxx.img

    Right now we are trying to focus on getting good tunings for the CPU governor and hotplug to balance performance with battery life. Also, we are still working on the two final big issues which are random reboots at night (testing out a fix atm) and encryption support (and yes, Bluetooth probably).

    Changelog:
    Code:
    - ambient display support (can disable in settings)
    - tuned cpu hotplugging (won't wildly jump during idle anymore)
    - cleaned up GPS/location related settings
    - charging LED for <90% now actually orange
    - aptX codec support
    - Assertive display enabled
    - changes to USB current control
    - lineageos latest changes
    - call microphone quality improvements
    23
    ROM updated, most of the work was done by @rcstar6696 and @nailyk
    Code:
    - CPUQuiet hotplugging instead of MPDecision
    - Time services
    - Wifi mac address doesn't randomise anymore 
    - Selinux enforcing
    - Wifi hotspot working (I think)
