Installing Lineage OS 14 on Xperia Mini Pro?

[saljut7]

maybe sd card is corrupted, have you tried different one..?

Thank you so much, changing the microSD card did the trick. The used one was corrupted in fact.

So does sideload completes fine and then you got error and bootloop?

Yes, the "state" of the card was "frozen". Can't even format it under GNU/Linux.

Out of interest what ROM have you had before?

I don't remember it for the sk17i, maybe I did a test run with CyanogenMod before there was the LOS fork. I had a Motorola Droid4 / xt894 with Mentor's Mod before which has the problem that the power button does not work anymore. The sk17i was my first smartphone which I still had as backup. I hope my sk17i keeps working until https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/pages/pyra/ is available. I want a well maintained OS on my PDA phone, especially for security reasons.

Hello.
I am already running CM14 (almost stable and VERY fast!) on my SE Ray.
Using Adrian's fantastic ROM 'lineage-14.1-20170514-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-urushi'.
VERY GOOD work, really !!!

JUST the following 2 problems I noticed (point 1 also at cm13):
1.) The microphone sensitivity for audio and video recordings is generally much too low. (not at calls!)
Which Android system file sets the mic gain? I would like to modify this setting. (or does this adaption work in another way?)
2.) Always after about 30...40 seconds of video recording the sound signal is not been recorded anymore. Just silence then. Really strange. There is no error message.

Does anybody selse noticed those phenomena as well? Who could help to fix this bug?
How could I reach AdrianDC ? Unfortunately he doesn't respond...
Is there still anybody supporting the SEMC 2011 devices?

Thank you very much for any help!!

Well, this thread is about about the Xperia Mini Pro, not about the ray - maybe you should open a new Thread for your device?

 

[Falk2]

Thank you, Saljut!
I started a new thread now. However, to other new threads here I didn't get an answer yet, unfortunately.
Anyway, I suppose that at least one of the 2 described video recording problems should appear at all SEMC 2011 devices, so also at your Mini Pro.
So would you please let me know if you probably have the problems above with your mobile as well? Isn't e.g. the audio signal level of your video recordings of cm13 or cm14 version very low as well?...
Or which ROM do you use? The only Nougat version for SEMC 2011 devices I know is just the one of AdrianDC.
So didn't you try to reach Adrian as well to ask him for this bug fix?...

@saljut7
Hello Saljut.
Will you still answer me?...
I would be very glad about that.
Thank you.

I didn't experience any of these problems but I'm using the build from https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/LegacyXperia/mango.

Who could help to fix this bug?

Sorry, don't know AdrianDC and have no idea how to fix your problems.

 

[Falk2]

Okay, thank you.
So you don't want to upgrade to Nougat on your Mango?
And your video recordings have about the same audio level than e.g. Youtube videos?... (cause I experienced the same level problem at LegacyXperia cm13 version as well)

 

[saljut7]

Okay, thank you.
So you don't want to upgrade to Nougat on your Mango?

Sure I would like to but the Android7 in https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/LegacyXperia/mango was the latest I could find.

And your video recordings have about the same audio level than e.g. Youtube videos?... (cause I experienced the same level problem at LegacyXperia cm13 version as well)

Actually I don't use the sk17i to watch something, just to chat via messenger and listen to podcasts. For me it is more a PDA than a smartphone.

As you could read very clear in my thread there IS a cm14.1 version - from AdrianDC.
Are you sure you read my lines above carefully?...

So then I am sure you do me the favour and test your camera for me, will you? It takes you 2 minutes.
(I did a lot more for you!!)

This is about the SE Ray, not the Mini Pro. If it is possible to install an image for the SE Ray on a SE Mini Pro you are right but I personally would never try to install a LOS image for a specific device on a different device. Means: If there is a more recent version for the SE Ray this doesn't mean for me that there is a more recent version for the Mini Pro as well.

So then I am sure you do me the favour and test your camera for me, will you? It takes you 2 minutes.

It takes much more on a 10 years old smartphone.

Anyway: Recorded a 10s video and watched a YouTube video via NewPipe: In both the sound level was normal for me.

(I did a lot more for you!!)

I didn't know you before your post at 15th February 2019, 06:30 PM - all you did was requesting information and all I did was answering. So from my perspective I own you nothing. I replied any of your posts with the effort I could spend in that moment.

 

[Falk2]

Yes, of course, you are not.
Sorry, I mixed up two threads.
Thank you for your informations before! And also now for your remarks about my two problems!

Concerning your mobile model: Of course you should not flash a different ROM than Mango on your mobile. But I found and also read in bug fix proposals that the low level was typical for that kernel...

If you want to upgrade to cm14.1 I can assist you.

 

[saljut7]

If you want to upgrade to cm14.1 I can assist you.

If you have an update for Tromponauta's post the sk17i/mini pro owners would be very thankful.

 

[Falk2]

No, sorry. This version is the latest and the only Android 7 version I found as well.
In opposite to your last result there was another user here with a Neo V who could totally confirm my problems on my Ray now!
But AdrianDC was/is still not answering! It's frustrating...

From my experience all my sk17i (mango) phones had problem with sound on video/audio recordings on any ROM including stock.. static noise sound etc.. even phones were sometimes constantly playing low level noise when on standby.. I had same symptoms on all 5 mangos so its design/hardware/manufacturing issue and not specific to ROM/Software.

Other then that I also has experienced some issues with HD video/camera functions on LOS14.1 .. Camera sometimes stopped after short recordings, wasn't any longer accessible and system required reboot to use camera again..

I have actually changed to other (main driver) phone couple months ago (sadly no keyboard) lol and converted most of my mango phones into dashcams.
Apart of one mango phone which is bedside alarm clock /mp3 player (LOS14.1 on airplane mode mostly in deep sleep) I had to downgrade all others to CM9.1 for smooth HD recording as dashcam.
LOS14.1 didn't work well with "Daily Roads Voyager" stopping video recording at any resolution / settings.. so that perhaps also suggest some issues with LOS14.1 video functions.

Anyway on side note.. CM9.1 + Daily Roads Voyager + Tasker + magnetic windscreen mount + metal plate behind mango back cover = great dashcam with camera shutter as video start/ stop operation for Daily Roads Voyager.. (no touch screen operation required... one of phones have actually faulty digitizer and works great in this setup) ... Tried auto Bluetooth operation but that's bit buggy at times.. Phone on airplane mode up to week battery standby.. with (in background/screen off) recording up to 7 hours.. enough for daily commute and recharging every few days + 2 cam operation on very long journeys.. ( Off course always power plugged in operation is possible , just didn't want charging cable in a middle of windscreen

Ops sorry I'm off topic..
SO yeah LOS14.1 is fast (with good sd card) and almost stable, but unfortunately with limited usage in my experience..

Upload limit here is 20.00 MB so I had to use an external provider. The only one I know which works without registration is framadrop.org but the maximum expiration is 60 days. So the following link is just 60 days valid from today on: https://framadrop.org/r/Ybi3jQ3FNW#yGFk0FEHRRNM2a9Pu/KHmiPHXfK8NDIvct9Bn0OHJOc=

Happy hacking!

1. Install ADB and Fastboot:

```
apt update && apt install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
```

2. Check fastboot connection:

```
$ fastboot devices

If you get `no permissions fastboot` or `<waiting for device>` try again with root rights.

3. Download custom Rom:

https://basketbuild.com/devs/AdrianDC/LegacyXperia/mango/LineageOS-14.x

4. Install LineageOS 14.1 Rom (Android 7.1.2)

4.1. External memory card is required to install the rom (Ext4 only 1 partition). At least around 4gb, must be very fast (Class 10 u3), and should be at around 8gb if possible. All apps, data, etc will go here.

4.2. Flash boot.img in fastboot mode (ski17i powered off, plugging in USB cable while pressing volume-up, blue LED will indicate fastboot mode):

```
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
```

Press volume rocker continuously during boot to access recovery system.

4.3. Wiping

Select "Wipe" -> "Format Data" (type `yes`) -> "Reboot Sytem" (as suggested)

Press volume rocker continuously during boot to access recovery system.

"Wipe" -> "Swipe to Factory Reset" -> "Back" -> "Advanced Wipe" -> select "System" -> "Swipe to Wipe" -> 3x back

4.4. Flashing

"Advanced" -> "ADB sideload" -> select "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and "Wipe Cache" -> "Swipe to Start Sideload" -> connect USB cable -> via terminal:

```
adb sideload lineage-14.1-20170514-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-mango.zip
```

5. Reboot into LOS, may take a while for the first time, ignore warnings.

I've uploaded it for @carlexlme and expected this user would do the same for others. I would reupload the file if there is really no other user available.
