[ROM][11] LineageOS 18.1 [OFFICIAL]

[landsome]

Hi everyone,
as some of you may already know, I've decided to step down as device maintainer for the Xperia XZ2 Compact.
Thankfully, @dtrunk90 has volunteered to take over - he's a skilled dev who has already made valuable contributions in the past few months, and I'm sure he'll continue to do so.

That being said, I really enjoyed on this device. I want to thank @Sjll who made all of this possible and everyone contributing to the Xperia Open Devices Program -- even though we don't always share the same views (which is what made Sjll and me start this project in the first place), I have nothing but respect for their hard work.

Thanks for the fabulous effort.

Thanks for all your work. As a result, I still enjoy my XZ2C every day.

Hi,

I have a problem with the in call volume, it's way too loud, so loud people in the room can hear the other side.
Of course, I lowered the volume as much as possible but it's still way too loud.
After some Googling I may have found the solution which is changing some values in a file called mixer_paths.xml.
However I see there are four different mixel_paths files:

mixer_paths_i2s
mixer_paths_qvr
mixer_paths_skuk
mixer_paths_tavil

From what I understand, the values I need to change are DECn values (n - number):
<ctl name="DEC1 Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="DEC2 Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="DEC3 Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="DEC4 Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="DEC5 Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="DEC6 Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="DEC7 Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="DEC8 Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="DEC9 Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="DEC10 Volume" value="84" />]

My questions:
1. Those values are in all of those files except for mixer_paths_i2s. So, which file do I have to change?
2. Can anyone confirm the DECn values really are the ones I need to change?

Thank you.

What about simply lowering the call volume in settings > sound?

Hello,

expecting this is general issue with LOS18 - but maybe somebody can help. I installed gallery app, and app asked for access to SD card when I wanted to delete a photo. But I can't give access to root of SD card, only for folders on the SD card. But this is not accepted by the app. Any solution?

Regards Odiad

First of all: Which gallery app?
To your question: This is not an LOS18 issue, it's a change which was introduced with Android 11 (Scoped storage): https://developer.android.com/about/versions/11/privacy/storage
You should contact the developer of that gallery app instead. It's their task to migrate from legacy to scoped storage: https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/use-cases#migrate-legacy-storage

hello dtrunk90. It is "Quickpic Gallery: Photos and Videos". For me quite nice app, but as explained with problems to get write access on SD card.
Okay - thanks for the information.

Oh and given the fact that you can select the folder their task is pretty much done afaik.

Jeeeessshhh... dis... is... really awesome work guys. So glad I finally stomached the courage to unlock my old faithful xz2c tank and boy what a reward

Short story, I went through all of this because my phone's display was acting strange. All of the sudden when using it the touchscreen randomly freezed. Volume buttons and screen display itself worked, but no touchy touchy. This was random and the only fix* was to lock and unlock the phone, which was meh at first but managed to take my kind soul in the end. So, after a new cheapo emmc internal storage phone (now dead), countless factory resets, setting configurations and an existential dilemma i decided this obviously obvious software issue is tied to android 10 so let's move to something else. So here we are, Lineage recovery, no issue so far, install steps simply work and Life is good... until... reality strikes again and freezes the touch again and also my mind in a retard state, because i had to admit it's a hardware issue since it's happening in recovery too. Such a good ROM tough : )
Anyway, for whomever might have this issue, just change your screen, or try squeezing it from the sides#nojok, this helped me instead of lock/unlock and seemed to last a bit longer too. Looking back, issue might have been caused by a too tight grip on the sides from a bike phone holder, maybe the pressure damaged a connector, or maybe even tanks get hurt : )

Returning to the ROM, it's awsome, I'm on the latest 2022-01-28 nightly which seems stable and smooth so far.
Camera is super decent, i mean maybe i had my hopes too low from other comments, but for me it's barely a downgrade(to me, sony cam is kinda lame anyway *without manual)
Went with the official lineage install steps from here - https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/xz2c/install
Everything was smooth... except for a small never ending sony boot logo screen after flashing los recovery(fastboot buttons and then quickly recovery buttons saved me)

Haven't tried calling, music, blt, gps, etc because i was to hyped finding out i need to change the display and no one knew, and they had to, apparently... but will definitely come back with more after using it longer as main.

So thanks you for this awesome rom.
In fact, do you guys accept donations? crypto? : )

Hello, will I upload this os lineage to H8266?

Pardon? Not sure if that was your question but H8266 is supported, yes. But you should look for the right forum because this is xz2c and you're looking for xz2 (akari).

 

[Mateuszz]

I wanted to upload this lineageos but I have the XZ2 dual H8266 version and I do not know if it is only for single sim?

Hi, is it correct, that USB OTG is not supported by this ROM? Can't find any settings and don't know, if it might be a problem with my device or due to the software.

Thank you very much and kind regards.
