[ROM][13][pdx206] LineageOS 20 for Sony Xperia 5 II [OFFICIAL]

[ch-ace00]

XQ-AS52 here, unfortunately I'm also having the issue with non-functional loudspeakers (earpiece for calls works). Latest build as well as 2023-03-17, same issue, and the patched 2023-03-16 build linked above also behaves the same way in my case.

Here's a full logcat from moment of power-on, in case it helps: xq-as52-logcat.txt

My model number also changes to XQ-AS72 after flashing this ROM, and going back to stock using Newflasher is finicky at best - the only thing that worked last time is relocking the bootloader and restoring using Xperia companion.

I have to update it every week, so I can’t sync the address book today

Sync with the Google account I use, okay. There are also a lot of bugs in the weekly night version, it is better to flash a usable version and wait for stability. This is what I think. And if ota has to wait for a long time for weekly updates, I can only sleep and hang up. It will be troublesome if you have to repaint the mask after recovery

同步我用的谷歌账号，还好。每周的夜版BUG也不少，不如刷个能用的版本等稳定。我是这样想的.而且每周更新如果ota要等很久，只能睡觉挂着。如果recovery又要重新刷面具都麻烦

Installed rom nightly on my XQ-AS72, using Nikgapps Omni package, everything working fine for now. Something that I've noticed is the automatic brightness adjustment is very aggresive, maybe it'll learn in some days; also the stock camera .apk has a brief "stutter" when taking photos, the images come out fine though. Battery seems very similar to stock, haven't noticed any difference.

Currently using ACC, Dolby and Universal SafetyNet Fix Magisk modules, all working no problems.

After yesterday update auto brightness again resets after restart, and there is no apparent way to fix it.

It seems the extra dim kicks-in also if it is disabled!

EDIT: no, it's not the extra dim, see

XQ-AS72:/ $ settings get secure reduce_bright_colors_persist_across_reboots                                            
0
XQ-AS72:/ $ settings get secure reduce_bright_colors_activated                                                        
0
XQ-AS72:/ $ settings get secure reduce_bright_colors_level                                                            
25

(restarted and brightness changed to desired)

XQ-AS72:/ $ settings get system screen_auto_brightness_adj                                                               
0.05876037

(restarted again but no manual brightness changed)

XQ-AS72:/ $ settings get system screen_auto_brightness_adj
0.0
XQ-AS72:/ $

Clearly the auto brightness setting does not survive the restart.

I found 2 problems on 0324 build:

1. Failed to use a live wallpaper

2. Pixel launcher of NikGapps crashes once opened recent items

 

[gericho_it]

Please add a slider to set minimum brightness.

 

[Maverickiller]

UPDATE: don't use NikGapps, there are too many compatibility issues, starting from google assistant, MindTheGapps only

With NikGapps FULL version pixel launcher works, but Themes don't, Gboard also does not shows up during first setup! BTW I don't recommend to use Live wallpapers at all... for many obvious reasons, starting from battery usage...

So I had to wipe the entire device completely because after the 0324 update, many things got irreparably broken. I downloaded and installed the latest version with NikGapps BASIC version. Now hopefully seems to be stable enough, auto brightness "works" but it still pushes the screen too DIM in dark, so it's not fixed, I'll see if possible to change the minimum brightness in the screen configuration file (if someone know where is it kindly let me know), I think is the only way to avoid this issue, a minimum brightness slider in the settings will be enormously appreciated!

Are you one of the developers? Well, that's not the answer that I expect from a developer.
MindTheGapps obviously doesn't meet many users' need. If you agree that Gapps are necessary , so is pixel launcher. At least for someone.
People love live wallpapers, that's why live wallpapers exist. Or their smartphones becomes boring.

I have just installed this ROM on my phone

First impressions are very good.

Working:

• Wifi, Bluetooth, mobile network (5G)
• Fingerprint sensor
• Flashlight
• 3.5mm audio jack
• microSD
• Camera shutter button
• Banking app (SafetyNet)
• All other apps tried for now

Not working:

• 120Hz refresh rate (setting not available) - Fixed with lineage-20.0-20230124-UNOFFICIAL-pdx206
• NFC does not turn on (adb logcat does not show anything strange) - Fixed with lineage-20.0-20230124-UNOFFICIAL-pdx206

Working with issues:

• Sony Photography Pro app (more of a general issue with the app than with this ROM): had to install version com.sonymobile.photopro_1.3.1.A.0.11_patched.apk from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/patched-photo-pro-1-2-for-non-official-systems.4345185/ as:
  • Version com.sonymobile.photopro_1.4.A.0.20-2621460_minAPI31(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk from that thread crashed when selecting the 70mm lens
  • Version com.sonymobile.photopro_1.5.1.A.0.14-2760718_minAPI31(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk from apkmirror could not install due to error during install:
    adb: failed to install com.sonymobile.photopro_1.5.1.A.0.14-2760718_minAPI31(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY: Reconciliation failed...: Reconcile failed: Package com.sonymobile.photopro requires unavailable shared library com.sony.device; failing!]
  • Note: I could not get the shutter button to open the app (selecting it in the app settings makes the app crash). I also tried the macro from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/fixed-camera-button-after-photo-pro-update.4368295/ but this also did not work. I think it it because the standard camera app also does not open when holding the shutter button. Maybe this is something that can be fixed?
    The macro does work after having enabled the setting "System" -> "Buttons" -> "Launch camera"

Issues:

• The app switcher can be buggy (this was always buggy for me even on stock ROM). One time one of the apps in the app switcher "froze" on top of the screen and I had to lock and unlock the screen to fix this.

If I can test something else, let me know.

Hello,
I also installed LineageOS on my xperia 1ii it works like a charm the only thing I miss is the camera pro app and the banking app wireless payment does not work.

Does somebody already have a solution for the full working camera pro app in lineageOS 20 and a way to install the banking app so I can do my shopping with my fingerprint.
