Installation guide for new users:
Things you need:
- Stock firmware (if you're not on .291): https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56046548&postcount=2
- TWRP Recovery image: Above in OP, downloads area
- The ROM: Above in OP, downloads area

Make sure you're on the latest stock firmware, version 23.5.A.1.291
If you're not:
1. Download the firmware from the above link or somewhere else, it doesn't matter which region you pick
2. Flash the FTF file with Flashtool, latest version obtainable here: http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
3. Power off the phone after completion

Flashing TWRP Recovery:
1. Download from above
2. Enter fastboot mode - while the phone is off, hold the vol up button and insert your USB cable (connected to PC), blue led light should appear
3. Enter the following command: fastboot flash FOTAKernel twrp_z3c_2017-04-26.img (or whatever the file is called)

Flashing the ROM:
1. To enter recovery, hold the power and vol-down keys while the phone is powered off
2. Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache
3. Select the ROM zip and flash away
4. OPTIONAL: Flash any extras, Gapps (open gapps work well) and root from here: https://download.lineageos.org/extras use addonsu-arm-signed.zip for ROOT, not SuperSU
5. Reboot

If coming from previous version:
What I recommend is full wipe. No support for those who dirty flash.
- Backup apps with Titanium Backup or other alternatives.
- Backup SMS/call log with SMS backup app.

Known Issues
* Bluetooth connection issues
* Mobile data reconnection issues
* Encryption and adoptable storage leads to bootloops

How to report bugs:
- Attach any relevent logs: dmesg or logcat (clear logs with "adb logcat -c" first, then reproduce issue)
- For random reboots, provide a last_kmsg
- Screenshots or written explanations of how to reproduce

One more ovation for @nailyk and @tomascus

 

[panzerox123]

@nailyk @tomascus great work!
Now, for those of you getting the Error7 in TWRP, delete these lines from META-INF>com>google>android>updater-script

(!less_than_int(1490124938, getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))) || abort("E3003: Can't install this package (Tue Mar 21 19:35:38 UTC 2017) over newer build (" + getprop("ro.build.date") + ").");
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "D5803" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "D5803" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "D5833" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "D5833" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "z3c" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "z3c" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "aries" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "aries" || abort("E3004: This package is for device: D5803,D5833,z3c,aries; this device is " + getprop("ro.product.device") + "."););
ui_print("Target: Sony/D5803/D5833:6.0.1/23.5.A.1.291/2769308465:user/release-keys");
ifelse(is_mounted("/system"), unmount("/system"));

If anyone asks about how to fix error 7... I will personally send hand them over to cannibals XD

 

[snaky90]

This version uses stock blobs ?

 

[mcgi5sr2]

yes uses stock blobs

 

[gr8st]

Great work guys!

 

[Pisiont]

So no working version yet? The one mcgi5sr2 posted couldn't go through setup after booting, didn't respond to anything other than power menu.

It is an issue when you doesn't have gapps. Reboot should work.

Reboot doesn't help, but I'll try with gapps. Hope that works

 

[vooR9er]

Thank you,mcgi5sr2, nailyk Yes, it really takes a very long time to install the firmware. Camera does not work. Black screen, the first launch of the camera with the button, now without a button on the display, very sorry.
P.S. Gapps is not set

 

[panzerox123]

Guys, just to clear out any misconceptions, the ROM is fully working and stable for daily use . The build was taken down because of a model specific issue. A new fixed build will be out soon. (No I am not developing it. Just testing the builds)

Is that model specific issue a not working camera? Expect that seems stable, some lineageos settings crash also but that's not a big deal.

Yes. My device has a front camera that is used in Leo, that's why camera apps crashed for me

leo has different camera than our compact? don't really understand what you mean

 

[panzerox123]

leo has different camera than our compact? don't really understand what you mean

In a nutshell... There are 2 difference front cameras... There was only one driver in the build

I am a little confused: Is camera working or not?
