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

[auz_mo]

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

Thanks man.

WeChat qq does not remind you of messages. You can only receive them when you open them

After using this ROM for a bit of time, I noticed that the automatic brightness can be a bit "hyperactive" in that even when keeping the phone still, the brightness varies very frequently (multiple times per second) in small but noticeable steps.
Is this something that anyone else observed and that could somehow be tweaked to be less sensitive to slight variations in light?

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

Thank you

Is it possible to flash a suitable TWRP? I only want to make backups, not rooting.

I think my biggest issue is finding a version of TWRP or OrangeFox that works with this ROM, what version did you flash?

Every one I try just results in a bootloop when trying to enter the recovery partition.

Thanks.

I'm using the provided Lineage recovery, only used it to install the rom.
Far as I know there is no working twrp or orangefox for this phone. Didn't find one for A12 and haven't even tried to find one for A13 since magisk is enough for me at the moment.

Hi everyone! I am currently using the xperia 1 ii with lineage. It works great, but regretfully notification light does not work. Does it appear to work in this ROM? (Presently I get the light during charging but not for notifications). I'd swap phones if indeed it did.

Thank you!

I can confirm this. I have not looked for a solution

Yes,There is also a problem with the WeChat microphone. When answering the voice call, the other party can't hear the voice

I uploaded the new build (lineage-20.0-20230202-UNOFFICIAL-pdx206.zip).
- Improve stability

Please test the voice call of WeChat with the new built.

 

[kyasu]

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

Thank you very much! Is the option "activate fingerprint sensor only on press" present in the display settings?

如果是打进来的，你开关一次麦克风就好好了。我相信后续版本能解决此问题因为不只是中国用户。你的chinglishi提醒了我

after a few days of using this daily, some things I've noticed:

The issue with incoming calls is a pretty big deal, The phone plays the ringtone but no notification or toast is shown on the screen. The only thing that can be done is wait for it to finish and then you'll get a missed call in your log. I notice nobody else mentioning this one, so...strange. I'll try flashing a clean version of the latest factory image and then the latest of this afterwards and see if it goes away.

In spite of the clear directions provided by another member I just can't get microG working correctly on this ROM. Location services are hit or miss and a number of programs crash with a error indicting that Play Services are unavailable.

Yes, under security/screenlock settings

Almost two days in with this ROM on my daily driver, so far so good. Things that don't work(build 20230202):

• Color calibration values in Display settings > LiveDisplay reset to default after every reboot.
• After every reboot the display runs in 60hz mode, even though 120 is selected in settings. Opening google maps(which always run at 60hz) and closing them puts the phone into 120hz mode. FIxed by forcing peak refresh rate in developer options
• Notification LED is inconsistent. Sometimes it blinks properly, other times it's always on/off

Try enabling/force 120hz from Developer options
If enabled in normal settings, it raises refresh rate only for some content
