Wait a couple of more days for the next nightly. Although no problems with the speaker on my device, at least on my use.
[ROM][11] LineageOS 18.1 [OFFICIAL]
- Thread starter Olivier
- Start date
I'll try flashing the new one on friday. I'll give it a couple flashes and give you guys an update!
By the way, what is the best way to update LOS18 from a previous nightly?
I have gapps and magisk installed, and that may complicate issues. I had no end of problems when updating on the LOS17.1 (again, with gapps and magisk), both OTP and via recovery.

I wanted to install opengapp 10, but I couldn't. I think you need opengapp 11 for lineageOS 18.1, but it's not available on their site yet. So I don't have Google right now. You can download it through other channels, but I haven't tried that. Everything is working satisfactorily now without Google and won't have time to test things out for the next few weeks. Unless LineageOS 18.1 with MicroG is available for my XZ2 c.
Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately, my question was not clear (I edited it the meantime).
I already have LOS18 with gapps and magisk installed. (Test opengapps for 11 are available here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/files/arm64/test/; I have tested them on 4 phones and a dozen different ROMs, and they work flawlessly.)
Specifically, what I wanted to know was the best route for updating to a new nightly the LOS18 that I have already installed, keeping in mind that I use magisk and gapps. On the previous LOS17 I discovered that the only sure way to do it is: uninstall magisk, sideload the new nightly and gapps, then reinstall magisk. But that's very cumbersome.
Hi Landsom,
Thanks for the Opengapps site, I hadn't found it yet, I will definitely use it one day. With the last update of 18.1, I also had to reinstall Magisk. That goes pretty quickly. Change Magisk apk to zip, boot into recovery and install Magisk zip. In Lineageoss 17.1 I never had to do that, ota update and done. I think I used payload dumper then, but I'm not sure anymore, to install Magisk. https://www.thecustomdroid.com/how-to-extract-android-payload-bin-file/
I don't remember exactly how I did that. The notes are at home and I'm on vacation now ;-)
Growing desperate here. Reinstalled LOS again after wiping the phone from LOSrecovery (is that the best way to wipe everything?). Then flashed Magisk 21.4 through LOSrecovery/ADB sideload, installed the Magisk App - and then mobile internet is gone. I am using Afwall and AdAway, but the internet isn't working even before that. Where could I grab a log that is relevant?
I also noticed WiFi having issues when connecting to a different router then my own. Am I facing a hardware issue?
FYI
There is actually some progress on speaker issue.

Amazing! I'm stoked to finally have a phone that works.
Sidenote: does anyone know how to revert to the latest stock rom? I just recently got into flashing roms on my XZ2C and its a lot more difficult than my previous phones which were a lot easier to mess around with.
Hi,
Sorry I have no idea… I'm just a lambda user... I'm using AdAway too but not Afwall.
Did you install LOS18 direct after stock ?
Sometime for custom rom installation you have to install the last stock rom at first, boot once on it so that the phone can catch something from your provider. Don't ask me what, I don't know.
Did you have a look at your Apn's ? I must always create a new one with good configurations, especially for MMS and sometimes for 4G.
I checked the APN's according to my provider and they are fine. The weird part is that it works until the point when I flash Magisk.
I had LOS 17.1 before and in LOS Wiki they say it requires latest Android 10 firmware. It's some time ago, but I remember having done that. Where do I check if it has everything it should, do you know?

Ok wow, OTA resulted in bootloop today and it is definitely because of something being wrong with Magisk. Happy to wipe the whole thing and start fresh. Is LOS Recovery good enough for that? Asking because their wipe functionality only says "Factory Data Reset" or something, is that what I'm looking for? And for future experiments: Do I have to do the copy-partitions-**.zip part again and could that have been the problem all along (did it once obviously when initially installing LOS on the xz2c for the first time.
That should not have been the problem if OTA worked before - on LOS18.
My advice: if you start fresh, install the stock rom on A and B via newflasher (don't forget to boot both to desktop), then follow installation instructions to get LOS. Skip the copy partitions part if you do that.
As for the failed OTA, did you update from the previous LOS18 nightly?
Yes but I don't think that's a ROM related problem. After I aborted boot and started it again, it finished booting with my Magisk modules disabled. I think there is a trouble maker among those.
And for your tips, thanks! Last weeks OTA worked without a problem. Do you mean flash stock on both partitions and then boot the phone (and I reckon with SIM in making it connect to mobile network, 4G and all?), then reboot to recovery and install LOS? And now as I'm in questioning mode: How important is the latest LOS recovery, does it have to be the same as the built all the time?

Yes, exactly what I suggested.
I do not typically have the latest recovery. Rarely bother to update them. But maybe it's worth the bother, who knows...
Btw, OTA worked for me last time. With gapps and magisk. So I will just skip this one, I guess.
Same here.
Thought the fix get included in the next week build but it works as expected with the 20210619-nightly-xz2c-build.

11Hi 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.108
