NOTE
Should you ever face any issues, capture logs. I also need to know what build you're on (build number or at least a date).
Hint: "It doesn't work" is not a bug report and posts like this will be ignored.


KNOWN ISSUEs

• The Sony stock camera does not work at the moment.

INFO
This ROM does not use the device trees/kernel from sonyxperiadev (aka SODP). The device tree was made from scratch, and the stock kernel (based off 52.1.A.x.y) has been used.

Hi, this blog post should answer your question.

 

[ExoDroid]

Wow, so happy to see this thread. Especially since I just placed an order for the phone an hour ago.

Will you be writing instructions on how to unlock the bootloader and install recovery?

Or should we follow the same steps from the AOSP thread?

Thanks a lot!

Hello, I flashed it in twrp and it failed. Then I tried to flash it using fastboot, and it stopped at the sony logo

You can check sony.com for bootloader unlocking instructions. For flashing my builds, you can either use TWRP or Lineage recovery.

Please be more specific:

• Which TWRP build did you use?
• Why did it fail; which error code was returned? Do you have a recovery log?
• How did you extract fastboot images from the OTA zip file?
• Model number of your device?

thank you for your reply
Before flashing, I flashed the Stock firmware with version number 52.1.A.0.672, TWRP comes from MartinX3
‘Https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz2/development/recovery-twrp-3-3-1-0-t4074305’
But I flashed the generic twrp of firmware 52.1.a.0.618, so it stopped at the TWRP logo and could not enter twrp.
Then I used ‘payload_dumper’ to extract the fastboot image. Based on the stock firmware version 52.1.A.0.672, I flashed it using fastboot, but it stopped on the SONY logo.
I flashed the generic twrp of firmware 52.1.a.0.618 on the Stock firmware with the version number 52.1.A.0.618, and twrp can be used normally. Then I flashed LineageOS 17.1 in twrp. It succeeded.
Currently I am enjoying LineageOS 17.1
My model is SONY XPERIA XZ2 Compact Dual

I am also running stock firmware 52.1.A.0.672 currently and would like to install 17.1

If I understood your comment correctly, I will have to first downgrade the firmware to 52.1.a.0.618?

And then install TWRP for 52.1.a.0.618?

Yes friend, if you want to install LineageOS 17.1, you should first downgrade the firmware to 52.1.a.0.618, then install TWRP for 52.1.a.0.618

How is the camera in Lineage?
Is it good like stock or is it like in pixel experience?

I think it goes without saying that the camera on custom ROMs will never be as good as on Stock, but I'd say the quality is pretty OK nevertheless. It should definitely be better than on Pixel Experience - they use Sony AOSP (SODP) as a base, while this port uses the Stock blobs and kernel.

Will the camera app permit to record DNG files (RAW) and not only JPG. If such, I'd be very grateful if someone could share a DNG files. I'd like to check if is is supported by Adobe Lightroom. I would report once checked.

Okay, thanks for your answer

 

[Ungewiss]

Thanks, no issues so far. I have switched from my SODP based lineage builds to yours, because of the defunct camera in SODP.

Never occurred to me to use the stock binaries.. Great stuff, thanks!

Hi, I have been having weird touch screen issues with my stock unrooted zx2 compact. ( sometimes the screen just goes unresponsive no touch inputs work, I have to lock then unlock the screen for it to work again).
I'm wondering if anyone has noticed this on this Rom if it's a hardware issue or if its software then I can try a custom Rom.

Not yet, so far.

What I encountered:
- switching to loudspeaker during a call does not work - all is just muted
- Notification LED can be turned on somehow, but does not really work and can not be adjusted
- shutter button does not start the camera

Call via loudspeaker is normal, you need to use the mic on the top of the phone. It's not a bug, it is designed by Sony.
Notification LED works fine for me. You can describe your issue more detailly.
Camera key is a bug of LineageOS, we had no idea about it now.
