The Sony Xperia ZL has gotten even sweeter with the release of this unofficial LineageOS 16 build! This build is built directly from the LineageOS source and fusion3-common. This ROM is compatible with devices that have and unlocked bootloader and runs pretty stable from my testing. However, there are two issues with this build: Bluetooth and both cameras do not work. I aim to fix this in the future. The latest security updates are present in this build, and I plan to continue updating it every week or so.

NOTE: Bluetooth and both cameras do not work with the current build. I aim to fix this, but I need help in order to do so. If anyone would like to help me solve these issues, please help me out and reply to this thread with possible solutions. Just for reference, here is a short logcat of Bluetooth-related logs.

Screenshots




Issues
- Autorotate broken
- Bluetooth broken
- Camera/Flash broken
- Auto brightness broken

Download
You can download the newest build of the ROM over at my website. Older builds will also be available there in case you need them.

Installation & Setup
  • Download to your device and wipe system, data, and cache.
  • Flash the ZIP in your custom recovery (preferably TWRP).
  • OPTIONAL: Flash OpenGapps
  • Reboot & Enjoy

Root access
At the moment, there is no addonsu available for LineageOS 16. As such, in order to gain root access, you must flash Magisk onto your device. From there, install Magisk manager and you will have full root access available.

Great to see that our beloved ZL still got it going on... The only thing that keeps me from testing this right now is the camera, I use it a lot. Hope you can fix it. Thank you for your hard work! Cheers!!

What app are you using for the step counter? Since Oreo the sensor framework switched to Sony DASH, so that might be a limitation from that.
I use Google Fit.
But no other apps works for me.
I switched back to lollipop and it works.

So my question about that!
