This rom,Why no Chinese?

Because in this world it exists multiple countries, not only China You have English and I personally think that it's more than enough.

Thanks for the great work!
I still have a question though, as the two repos(device tree and vendor) are removed, is there any way to create the device tree myself?(I was thinking of utilizing the files Sony provided on openxperiadev but I don't know where to start since I'm pretty much a complete noob to this) Or where should I start if I were to port a Lineage based rom?
Thanks in advance

Alright, so what I did for the device and vendor repos, is create a sony.xml file under ./local_manifests and set the contents to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
    <remote name="github-sony" fetch="https://github.com/" />

    <project path="device/sony/edo-comon" name="Mirenk/android_device_sony_edo-common" groups="device" remote="github-sony" revision="lineage-18.1" />
    <project path="device/sony/pdx206" name="Mirenk/android_device_sony_pdx206" groups="device" remote="github-sony" revision="lineage-18.1" />
    <project path="vendor/sony/pdx206" name="hellobbn/android_vendor_sony_pdx203" groups="vendor" remote="github-sony" revision="lineage-18.1" />
</manifest>

You'll notice that the vendor is coming from a PDX203 repo (which is the Xperia 1 II), so it'll need a good number of modifications to work for our phone (PDX206). I've done a bunch of massaging to it, but have not had much luck grabbing the required files from the phone with extract-files.sh yet...

My next tact is to find all the files that I think it needs (scraping proprietary-files.txt and looking for refs in pdx206-vendor.mk, which is just a copy of pdx203-vendor.mk that i did a sed s/203/206/g on) for a proper build from an adb shell and grab them and place them in the proper dirs by hand. I'll create a fork on my GH and push my mods later on today in case it's of any help to you.

I thought about porting the pdx203 device tree since those two devices share a large portion pf hardware but I was doubtful it would be as simple as doing a literal find&substitute from 203 to 206 lol, at least more work has to be done to adapt for the differences between the two, for instance the 120hz display. I really appreciate your answer as it proves the concept is somewhat workable.
Meanwhile I accidentally found the previous maintainer (EggOxygen) when searching on another forum (Coolapk) and had a nice conversation with him and learned the whole edo platform thing. That surely cleared things up.
Anyways I saw the new repo on your GH page. It seemed to be completed and ready for use. Can I compile with this or does I require any furthur modifications? Or is there anything I can do to help improve it? I would be more than happy to contribute, as soom as I get the grasp of all this

Oh, these are not my repos. I just got a link from someone else on these boards, which I used to fill in some of the dirs.
I'll fork and update them as soon as I have something to contribute.

Oh I see. I checked yesturday and the repo by Mirenk wasn't there. It's still nice that someone took the effort for us though.
Well I guess I'll just make a test version with it and see what happens

Read the post again, for LTE you need to boot to stock firmware before flashing the ROM otherwise it will not work.

The post talks about Voice Over LTE, not LTE proper! And what does it actually mean to boot to stock? Boot before the "flash product.img" step?! Please clarify, thank you.

Could you explain why you yourself are using Chinese in your blog posts, but you intentionally removed every Chinese language from your ROM, even the Traditional one.

If I were a user from HK or TW (sadly not) I would be unhappy to see this.

LineageOS 18.1 - Android 11 - Vendor 11
MEGA (20210316 New Update)

What is the status of the LineageOS 18.1 for the Sony Xperia 5 II?

It's closed source for now

Which ROM is closed source, please? I don't want to use any closed source ROM.

I am thinking about purchasing the Sony Xperia 5 II, but it seems like there is not much modding activity. Should I pick a different device?

 

[Klimon5]

Do these roms work without having to flash gapps or are they pre-installed?
