[Q&A][ROM][7.1] LineageOS 14.1 for Xperia SP

[ozlacab]

First time I see this.
> Looks like an hardware fault, or a kernel fault (unlikely) or an Android random issue due to failed upgrades or such.

I invite you to :
- Boot to TWRP (V+), does USB work ?
- Boot a Linux Live USB (Mint, Ubuntu, ..., as you wish) and see if the device works fine from a good OS .
- Try a clean installation of the ROM

-Booting to TWRP and connecting USB does not also work, shows the same notification like this

and on device manager it shows like this

-Booting in Linux = downloading as of the moment
-Trying a clean install of LOS 14.1 = backing up files as of the moment

By the way from CM 13.0 i first dirty flashed the "lineage-14.1-20170129-OFFICIAL-MIGRATION-huashan-signed" then dirty flashed "lineage-14.1-20170620-nightly-huashan-signed"

Is there a chance to get a ril-daemon which is able to send APDUs to the sim card? My nfc banking app is not working with this rom.

Some bugs spotted - where and how to report them ?

Hi again Adrian DC,

After few days I have spotted two problems :

- the switch for "Gloves mode" is reversed - it turns on "Gloves mode" actually when set to off,
- the "Pick-up" gesture on locked screen does not always work, it is working most often just exactly one time after display is off, but then stops.
But it is working every time when I listen to Spotify - every time I pick up the phone, I get the notifiction from Spotify with music controls displayed on screen.

Actually, third one most noticeable for me is the one where you can't set own colours for notifications from Phone (i.e. red LED for missed call) - every time it displays the notification in automatic colour.

- I don't see why you would report that, it works as it should and activating it properly sets the needed configuration on hardware

- Pick-up gesture is normal, if it's face-up, the proximity sensor doesn't play a role (knowing proximity can send an interruption event and can't fail an detection, hence only the accelerometer and magnetometer take action for the pick-up gesture. Both these sensors are data streams and not interruptions.

> Therefore it is not not awake all the time, otherwise your device would never sleep and use a lot of power. The sensor is active when the device was awake, when the device just showed a doze notification (usually the ambient display gestures usage situation) or ponctually between sleeps / wakes.

- Not specific to the device, but reported 1-2 times already. Will check that when possible.

Thanks for the explanation ! I had no idea that - in this case- it actually depends on hardware ability to generate interrupts. Now I'm a little bit wiser

But I still don't get how the switch for "High touch sensitivity" is working correctly - right now, when it's set to off (so I understand, the high touch sensitivity is also off) - I can operate the phone even not touching the screen. So I get "High sensitivity" with the switch off. Shouldn't it be reversed ? So that I get "High sensitivity" when I set the switch to "ON" ?

Or maybe it's just my phone that interpretes this switch opposite to its setting ?
I'm sorry for asking the same question again, but I'm trying to understand all those usage scenarios. And I think there might be a few other people that will benefit from your explanations

Hello,
while testing the music pulse feature (which is great by the way ) I've run into problems with fm radio. The inbuilt app just crashes after start, and Spiritf app says "This device may need a kernel with a working FM driver". If i remember correctly fm radio worked on earlier nougat builds. I'm running 07.19-nightly.
Thanks for continuous support for this phone

native: Increase ART heap limit to 192MB for 1024MB RAM devices

Running the 23/08/2017 nightly, RAM used by system after bootup (and leaving a few mins to settle) is over 500Mb, whereas on 02/08/2017 and prior it was around 330Mb.

On the older builds the phone was a lot more usable but with the latest it really struggles. Switch between two apps takes almost 10 secs at times with the app being switched to invariably redrawing or restarting.

Any chance the above change is responsible?

Same problem i have with AICP N builds, system ram usage is around 500MB and over time it gets higher (leading to 600MB after a day on)

Hello,
I have rooted my xperia sp and unlocked the bootloader. When i try to flash lineage OS through recovery its giving me Status 7 error and showing target of lineage OS for C5303 but i have C5302 model. I have downloaded latest Lineage OS from official website.
Sorry if this is a naive question. Any help is appreciated.

What recovery are you using? I suggest you try to install TWRP and see the results.

Sorry for late reply.
I have a concern that if this rom is meant for C5303 then won't it disturb the cellular bands on C5302

you can always have a backup before trying something new just in case it fails.

Can somebody please let me know how can I update the ROM to its latest release?

Do I have to do the flash/wipe/root etc thing all over again?
