Been testing this for a few days on my spare phone, and I've found a few issues.
- Fingerprint scanner works, and unlocks phone but I cannot unlock apps or verify root with my fingerprint. There seems to be something missing from the ROM that allows apps to access the device biometrics.
- WiFi works, but disconnects after a few hours and will not reconnect to that network again unless I reboot. It will connect to a new network fine without a reboot but not the saved network.
EDIT: This only happens on 2.4Ghz networks. I've been connected to a 5Ghz network for several days now without disconnecting.
- GPS works, and locks a 3d fix in various test apps, but location services do not work, so no google maps, no Waze, no AccuWeather.
EDIT: using magisk props to change my device fingerprint allowed me to pass ctsprofile basic safetycheck, which i think has fixed a lot of issues i was having with google. shortly after doing this, all my gps apps started working properly.
- I get an error in AccuWeather about google play services not working with this phone model, but play services is installed and can be updated in the play store. One odd note, running a play services updater app shows the original play services were installed on this phone in 1973.
EDIT: I was using an old accuweather apk, using the google play store version works correctly. Also, you can update the google play services in the play store to the latest version.
- sim detection on boot is a bit unstable. Some times it works and stays working with no issues until you switch off the phone, other times it goes bad and caused a crash to recovery. Reboot system from twrp will normally work with no problem.
- there is a quick setting tile to dump the system ui heap that was probably used during testing that probably doesn't need to be there anymore. could it be added to the developer quick tiles toggles in the developer options maybe so users can switch it off?
Besides that it all seems to work.
Rooted with magisk 21.3
Twrp 3.4.0.0 installed to recovery. (waiting for 3.5.0!)
I hope you make an update someday as this seems to be the only a11 ROM I can find for this device.
I'd love to get access to a few stock Sony apps and widgets on this rom some day. EDIT: if you install the sony device dummy module from magisk manager, you can install most of the stock sony apps from the play store. you can also find several stock sony apps floating around on google.
Tested to be working: Music, Weather, clock, calendar. There is a version of album 9.8.A.0.8 that works if you search for it.
Not working: Album 9.8.A.1.2 (from play store), 3d creator, dialler, sms app.
im still looking for a stock camera that works.
Thanks for posting the ROM.
