On this remarkable day, on the 9th of September, when android 11 has official release, z3c was given official build of android 10 with Lineage OS 17.1:laugh:. I am not complaining thought, great work, keep it up man.

@NeoArian There already exists a LOS 17.1 thread created by you. Can you please confirm which one out of the two do you wish to keep? Duplicate threads are not permitted as per the Forum Rules.

Link to the existing thread: https://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/orig-development/10-lineageos-17-0-z3c-t3976529

Additionally, the first post doesn't contain a link to the Kernel source. Kindly add the same as well, as that's mandatory under GPL.

This thread is for the Official builds, I will close the unofficial thread. The first post lists the lineageos GitHub for the sources where the kernel source code can be found, I will add some more details regarding that in first post.
Greetings, Arian.

Hi everybody,

First, thank you NeoArian and other contributors for your great work. Just a question : I have no experience with Lineage recovery. What is the differences between Lineage recovery and TWRP ? What are the pros and cons ? If I try Lineage recovery, is it easy to go back to TWRP ? Without a full install ?

Thank you for your reply.

Thank you for the confirmation, Arian. Please close the old unofficial thread at your earliest convenience and we will be good to do on that front. Regarding the sources, yes, I see the link to the LOS GitHub, but I'll appreciate if you link the kernel repository (and if possible the device tree and vendor tree, if applicable) instead of the single LOS GitHub link.

Thanks for your work!

Thank you very much NeoArian for your official build of LineageOS 17.1
I have installed it this morning and have only noticed that the rear camera is not working (the front one is working normally).
I have tested it with the bundled camera app and with Footej camera.

Maybe my z3c is dying so is this happen to someone else?

I just flashed this over the last 17.1 unofficial build, and the cameras are working.

I can confirm rear camera is working fine, too.

Hello NeoArian
at first id like to thank you for keeping this device alive
second i wanted to ask how can i use this method again to use wifi in middle east
the error says : wifi-service.odex has no dex files
I really appreciate your hard work
Thanks a lot

Edit : Nevermind
Thanks for rom Again

Upgrade from 16.0 via TWRP.

For my case: Camera (front/back), Mic, NFC, Bluetooth and GPS works without any issues so far. I wish I could help with some logs but it feels already so stable. I'm so baffled that devices like the Z3C with 2GB is running so fast and reliable with the latest Android.... except their 3.5 jacks of course

Abandoned from the company and kept alive by the community.

Thanks to all involved and especially thanks for maintaining @NeoArian

Best regards

Hey,

Could someone tell me how to revert back to stock ROM? Cause LOS changes partitions structure and I can't restore my backup.

BTW. Snap 801 isn't ARM64 SoC. Well, at least I couldn't install ARM64 GApps

Hey @NeoArian. A little typo here, that can cause serious problems for some newbies here. We should use ARM GApps, NOT ARM64. You probably forgot to modify accordingly your post template while creating new thread, since on the lineage's device wiki it correctly specifies ARM Gapps.

If you don't mind, I would also like to ask about updating from official LOS 16 to 17.1 WITHOUT LOSING DATA. So I read here about the procedure but I am not familiar with adb side loading - I am more of TWRP guy myself . Are these steps correct for updating through TWRP :

1. Have official LOS 16 + your TWRP recommended for android 9 + GApps nano 9 ARM + Magisk 20.4 installed
2. Download a new TWRP from here
3. Download latest LOS 17.1 from here and copy it to device
4. Download GApps from here and copy it to device
5. Reboot to fastboot and flash new recovery
6. Boot to recovery
7. Flash latest LOS 17.1 on top of old LOS 16
8. Flash new GApps for android 10 (on top of GApps from android 9?)
9. Flash magisk (on top of old android 9's magisk installation ?)
10. Reboot to system
11. Hopefully everything works xD

Have I missed something, or not? Will it preserve my installed apps, their data and system setting, without crashes on new LOS 17? Thanks in advanced.

Fresh install from a stock ROM 6.0.1 => everything seems to be working very well including rear/front camera and GPS fix very quickly.
Nice work, thanks very much, unbelievable to have android 10 on this device.

Questions :
- Cannot install Magisk. I have last TWRP, installed openGapps without problem. But for Magisk (tried 201. to 20.4) it says "unsupported file format"? The same with Magisk Canary version. Even with the Manager it cannot be installed.
- Is it possible to implement the ANC (Active Noise Cancellation)? It worked with unlocked bootloader under stock 6.0.1 when plugging the Sony MDR-NC31E earphones just before flashing LOS 17.1.

Thanks

Oopsie, fixed it.
The steps you mentioned seem fine and the apps and your data should persist, ideally without crashes
Good luck!

Glad to hear that it is working good for you! I didn't use magisk since a while now, unfortunately can't guard you with that. Was that ANC implemented system side?

Hi, big thanks to NeoArian,
all works fine. I come from Stock 291 (German Telekom Brand). I had some trouble after flashing Recovery because I can´t start recovery with "fastboot reboot recovery". In my case always an system reboot appears. After some trys I use the keys (Vol- + Power) to boot in Recovery and all works fine. Please tell this in the install LineageOs on Z3c ( https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/z3c/install )

In fact I change TWRP, I should have installed the wrong one, Magisk is installed now.

About ANC, it is this functionnality, implemented on Z2 and Z3 series only:

Just a humble question, do the Sony STM10 stereo microphone works with this rom? Now I'm on Lineage 16 and it doesn't work very well with it (lots of stuttering during the recording)

 

[KoMaSo]

Hi my device is since 3 days in this rom. The battery dranis fast. The device got no deep sleep. I have checked this with "AccuBattery" App. There are no special apps installed. Has anyone other see the same ?

Deep sleep is probably not working because of bt wakelock or something like that. It is a known bug for ages with z3c.
