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

[Vanupuikko]

Thanks man!

 

[Mr. Grips]

You lose functionality of the Sony apps when you install this,right? Side sense, Dolby atmos, camera pro and cinema pro is mainly what i'm concerned about.

 

[Vanupuikko]

I don't see a 120hz option anywhere in settings, screen runs at 60hz.

Yeah no sony features, but i haven't tried sideloading the camera apps.

Thanks man!

Please share your experience with this ROM!

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.

If I can test something else for you, let me know! It would be great if the 120Hz refresh rate could be enabled.

That's nice to hear!
How is the battery life and does Dolby Atmos work?

 

[alter.daemon]

thank you very much for this rom, was just about to ditch the phone and Sony altogether.

in my case I can live without / wait for 120hz display but lack of NFC is a deal breaker :-( I'd like to test the ROM after NFC is confirmed to be working (contactless payments..) -
could anyone who already made the jump check this besides the comment about NFC above?

 

[niciuffo]

I will have to test the ROM for a couple of days to see how the battery life looks like. For now it seems to be close to stock, maybe slightly worse but hard to tell.

About Dolby Atmos, do I need to install Magisk to try it out? I would like to avoid rooting the device to lose SafetyNet, but I'm not sure how that works.

EDIT: I installed Magisk and can confirm that Dolby Atmos does work (and it improves audio quality and volume of the speakers)

 

[auz_mo]

Wow!

Been waiting for this for ages, thanks so much for getting this ROM up and running!

Any chance you have some insight on how to get microG installed and running on this ROM?

I've tried a few different methods and so far I've not had any luck.

Thanks!

 

[kyasu]

I uploaded the new build (lineage-20.0-20230124-UNOFFICIAL-pdx206.zip).
- Add 120Hz refresh rate support.
- Fix NFC.

You can use Stock Camera && Cinema Pro && Photo Pro (See NOTES in the first post).

 

[hariskar]

Thanks a lot for this rom!
What is the procedure to update a LOS 20 version to a new one?

- Flash ROM.zip by recovery
- Reboot to recovery and flash GApps.zip by recovery

 

[tramp20]

Does someone use TWRP and if yes which version and how to install it?

Thank you

 

[Ivon852]

Thank you man.

Been waited for LineageOS for a long time.

 

[owlery_hk]

Is there anything we can do to help with builds and maintence?

 

[auz_mo]

I've noticed another little quirk: when using this rom on the dual sim version of the Xperia 5 ii, incoming calls on the secondary sim will ring, but no toast is displayed, even when opening up the dialer app explicitly. there is absolutely no way to answer an incoming call on the secondary sim. When the call finishes however, it does show as a missed call in the recent list.

Also, any word on getting microG running on this rom?

Thanks!

 

[ostejo]

Thank you!

Finally looks like this phone will be in use for a bit longer.

Installed yesterday on daily driver and everything is working this far.
Passes safetynet with and without magisk.
Tested microg and it also works.

Only thing this far that's not working is the assistant button,

Any plans on keeping this rom updated in the future?
Would love to help out with testing if it gets updated

EDIT! I have not tested if dual-sim works correctly

Can I ask how/what version of microG you installed? I can't seem to get it working on my installation.

Cheers,

Cheers,

Install Magisk and LSPosed for zygisk
For spoofing you install latest FakeFApps and then Microg Installer Revived

When installed and rebooted it took me close to 1h toggling cloud messaging and device registration on/off between reboots before all apps started to connect
