[Mr.Tom_Tom]

Working LOS17 build achieved

Yep, here it is: LineageOS 17 with Android 10 for our good old Z3. Shinano's not dead (yet)!

Thanks to @NeoArian for sharing repos, manifests and some hints. Behavior seems to be similar to the Z3c build.

The following links are provided for testing purposes only and may be deleted in a few days, please refer to the "official" download links of the thread owner (thanks @ronidianpatisa).

Warning: the links below are now outdated, use the download links in post #1 please
Download: LOS 17 ROM for Z3, compiled as userdebug for TESTING ONLY (alternate hoster here)
Download: Related MD5 checksum file
Download: TWRP for Z3, compatible with Android 10 ROMs for TESTING ONLY
Download: GAPPS BETA

What I have tested so far: checklist working/not working (again, thanks to @NeoArian for this idea and the initial list)

 

[AbdullahSayed]

What about Z3 Dual support ? Can D6633 users test the rom safely ?

 

[dhacke]

Thanks @ MrTom_Tom for the sharing of the early LOS 17 build. Very nice from you.
One question: For what stands tbd in the linked checklist?

Nevetheless i will wait for the builds from NeoArian with working encryption.

 

[elmxx]

I have tested your Android 10 rom for z3! Here it is some issues that I have found!

1. when device is power off, if that time you charge your phone until you unplug usb charge cable you cant turn on your phone.
2. when you flash android 10 test rom zip and gapps zip , your sony xperia z3 logo will start and reset itself "loop" until you hold power button and volume up key hold together to power off your phone. Solution that I find is " after you power off phone, Hold power button and volume down key 5 sec , twrp recovery windows will pop up, then Wipe cache, dalvik cache, data and system. 1. first, install android 10 zip rom ,reboot phone then power off the phone, reboot in twrp recovery and flash gapps- pico or micro.
3. Battery percentage icon doesn't show on status bar.
4. some google sound cant be saved.
5. Pixel launcher crashes all the times.
6. power off charge doesn't show battery percentage.. .. during the charge screen doesn't turn off. I guess, these are common lineageOS kernel issue .
7. There is no sony xperia z3 FM radio app..
8. Digital wellbeing apps keep stoping.

Yes, please do not use this build as a daily driver yet! But we are happy for every feedback on the test build.

For what stands tbd in the linked checklist?

tbd = to be determined = not yet tested

First of all, thanks for testing and providing feedback!

Regarding your comments:
1. Confirm, known issue: checklist working/not working
2. Are you sure you wiped DATA during your first flash? I do not think it is necessary to wipe SYSTEM.
3. Cannot confirm that issue. Icon is present, and when you swipe down, a percentage value is shown next to the icon.
4. Not sure what you mean by that
5. This is by design since Android P, unfortunately. Please see this explanation.
6. I guess You're right
7. Confirm, known issue. (Honestly speaking I was not expecting that someone will miss that FM radio.)
8. I would expect that there are some dependencies to other google stuff. Can someone confirm that?

 

[elmxx]

Thanks you for your concern and your hard work along with your dedication.

Yes, please do not use this build as a daily driver yet! But we are happy for every feedback on the test build.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, I wiped cache, dalvik cache, data but I did wipe system either. May be wipe the SYSTEM wasn't such a good idea!
ignore " 4. some google sound cant be saved."
Offline FM radio my favorite apps as you know you don't need internet to listen stations.
You are right , when you swipe down, a percentage value is shown next to the icon but without swipe down you wont able to see percentage value even if you enable it.
I think this rom will be better then pie rom.... Thanks for your time.

On Android pie, digital wellbeing is not working unless gapps is installed. After installing gapps, digital wellbeing works like a charm. At least on android pie, I can confirm that.

Today I took a look at the issue with Digital Wellbeing as reported by @elmxx.

I can confirm the issue - when trying to access Digital Wellbeing through Settings, the app force closes.

I think the key info here is:

Neither user 10100 nor current process has android.permission.SUSPEND_APPS

I will look into that in more detail later, but it might be not that simple that there are some GAPPS missing.

Update:
I guess I found a solution, test was successful and submitted a patch already. Problem should be fixed in future builds.

 

[Mr.Tom_Tom]

Offline FM radio my favorite apps as you know you don't need internet to listen stations.

As you @elmxx have been the first to provide a detailed feedback I took some time to look after your FM Radio request, see updated post #2. It isn't working perfect as explained here by @NeoArian.

What about Z3 Dual support ? Can D6633 users test the rom safely ?

Sorry, I have zero experience with the Dual Sim variant, I do not hink it will currently work.

 

[elmxx]

FM Radio

Thanks adding FM Radio app. it works well.
E-mail app. keeps closed. The one "e-mail app" which it comes with lineageos. I just want to let you know.

Thanks for your time.

 

[CedArctic]

Thanks for the great work guys! It's awesome to see our shinano getting a 10 build. Will flash ASAP. Keep it up!

 

[Mr.Tom_Tom]

E-mail app. keeps closed. The one "e-mail app" which it comes with lineageos. I just want to let you know.

Yes, ignore the LOS email and calender app for the moment, they are buggy but the LOS team is working hard to fix them soon.

 

[elmxx]

Flashing LineageOS rom without Gapps!

I just did flash lineageos rom without flashing Gapps! Here is what I found.......
Every lineageos apps work fine except message app. not getting Text Message Notifications. ------> " google message app works fine".

By the way, May be Gapps beta caused E-mail "keep closed" issue! I am not sure.

I do not get into recovery like that, fastboot flashing does not work anymore ...

 

[nikapos]

I do not get into recovery like that, fastboot flashing does not work anymore ...

ok then, start over.

1. flash original .291 rom with flashtool
2. make sure your bootloader is unlocked
3. enter fastboot to flash 3.3.1 twrp recovery to FOTAPartition
4. press power button holding down volume button until you feel one short vibration.

hope this does the trick. however this is not the proper thread to discuss unbricking or installing recoveries.

 

[Technoolli]

Thank you, but with the Flashtool I can not select the firmware ... Can I flash it somehow different? I just can not do more in the gas pedal, also I do not come in the recovery or Android system ... help
