[ROM] LineageOS 17/18/19 UNOFFICIAL - (Update: 2024-03-30)

[kentchristopher]

Successful dirty flash from linneage 17.1 2021-04-22 to the latest 17.1 2022-05-16 using TWRP 3.3.1.

Some notes:

- Removed Magisk using the Magisk app prior to flashing, as recommended
- In TWRP 3.3.1, the md5sum check not pass. If this is a known problem it would help if it were stated in the first post.
- ROM boots without problem
- No issues with the mic and headphones (test call using Google Voice)
- Camera works, GPS works, modem works

Only issue is that my cards in Google Pay now all show "Not set up". Anyone know how to resolve this? Already tried wiping GPay storage and cache. I would think that tapping "Not set up" would walk me through setting each card up (re-verification with each bank?) but tapping it does nothing.

I also had a slight issue in Google Pay after updating from 2022 march release to 20220516, I had to set up all my cards again. I accidentally typed the wrong security code in the first card, thought something was wrong with the app so I added both entries in Magisk denylist: com.google.comandroid.apps.walletnfcrel and com.google.androi...nfcrelrimes_lifeboat (before there was only the first one), cleared both cache and data of Google Play. Set up my cards and all worked fine.
Did you reinstall Magisk 24.3 + needed modules + add the app to denylist? If you check your device with Oprek Detector (root check), do you get all green marks?
I am using 18.1-20220516-UNOFFICIAL-lilac so I am not sure if the Android version difference is the issue or what. Maybe someone with 17.1-20220516-UNOFFICIAL-lilac can confirm?

I didn't reinstall Magisk because the first post specifically says that Magisk is not required to pass SafetyNet check with this ROM. And I don't really need root. Obviously if that's that it takes I'll reinstall it, but it seems like it shouldn't be necessary.

Rechecked MD5 of lineage-17.1-20220516-UNOFFICIAL-lilac.zip: e95dab075ed2e4dd21f4db59675f4877
That is what I have here, what AFH says and what is in the corresponding md5 file, so if the check doesn't pass for you something is wrong on your side.

I'm using that 17.1 ROM myself, Google Pay works without Magisk and at least my PayPal "card" I added to it before still is there and works.

So I suspect something went wrong during your upgrade. Maybe redownload and reflash?

@Flamefire Have you tried the 19.1 rom? What do you think about it?

I manually checked the md5 sum of the file on the SD card and it matched. I didn't find the md5sum file on the SD card so I'm thinking I just failed to make sure it had been copied over before flashing.

Further, I didn't reflash because Google Pay ... fixed itself: the message for each card now shows "Hold to reader" instead of "Not set up". I previously read a couple comments elsewhere online from people who said this issue fixed itself after anywhere from "a few" to 24 hours. That seems to be what happened with me as well (24 hours). That might be worth adding to the notes in the original post.

@Flamefire Have you tried the 19.1 rom? What do you think about it?

Haven't tried it. And it is maintained by derf elot, the original maintainer of the 17.1/18.1 ROMs. So should be good. I won't include it in my builds (yet) as I feel it won't be fair to derf elot who likely invested a serious amount of time to get the kernel binary blobs ready for LOS 19. So I'll leave that for a bit.

Good to hear! Well it seems to be a temporary issue only. Probably not happening always and maybe not again in the future, so your post here should suffice for info ;-)

What I did to test is simple make a backup of only data, restore it right away, and it wouldn't work anymore. System and vendor wouldn't have changed anyway, and the locking / passwords were 100% the same (I have the same for 12 years on my phone...). I think it might or could work if you change from one rom to the other, but if the rom and version remains the same, and you have no root, system and vendor shouldn't have changed in the first place I guess?

This may be old news but I have discovered a workaround for the problem in the 18.1 build where restoring a backup kills the device. If you remove all screen locks (PIN, pattern, password) before making a backup, it is possible to restore the backed up data. After restoring, you will then to force stop Trebuchet and clear its data, and evrything should be back to normal. More details in this post in the /e/OS community forums

Does this work on SO-02K?

 

[MarkMRL]

Hi. I managed to install the update, everything went well, the headphone bug is definitely solved. So thanks a lot to the developer for fixing it, you definitely made this phone usable for at the very least a couple more year.
I'll drop a donation as soon as I can

Hi, i flash last ver 18. Bluetooth is ok with radio and headphone, but not with my balance....(there is some fix?)
If i flash last ver 17, boot is ok but launcher appears total black so it is not possible continue configuration...
Any solution?
Thanks

Hi, i flash last ver 18. Bluetooth is ok with radio and headphone, but not with my balance....(there is some fix?)

You can configure Audio Balance in Settings > Accessibility > Audio adjustment... unless you're talking about something else?

If i flash last ver 17, boot is ok but launcher appears total black so it is not possible continue configuration...

You could try installing another launcher such as Nova Launcher or Lawnchair into the phone with ADB AppControl. If after that you cannot get into Settings to change the launcher (it's called Default Home App in Settings), and pressing Home button does not give you the choice to select it, you could try disabling the default launcher with ADB AppControl first.

Alternatively, you could try LineageOS 19.

LineageOS 19 does for sure, this should too. If it doesn't, you could reflash to 19.

Hello, just getting my xz1 compact in from Japan today and wondering which rom currently works the best out of the box? Was looking at lineage 19 but seems like people are having issues with volte. I have TMobile. Been a while since I've done any flashing and what not. Or should I just stick to Android 9

 

[echo124]

Can someone make VoLTE work with files from other xperia phone to put carrier code into modem?VoLTE work on tmobile but not other.

Can someone make VoLTE work with files from other xperia phone to put carrier code into modem?VoLTE work on tmobile but not other.

works on T-Mobile and its subsidiaries because they provisioned the volte

att and its subsidiaries white listed the xz1c because Sony didnt give them the proper paperwork so att claims.

 

[keldeo66]

I'm loving this ROM thanks for the hard work! However it has one glaring flaw. Any ideas why, I can't connect to band 12? I'm on Tmobile in the USA. Volte works fine on other bands, such as 2, 4, 66 and I've even seen band 41 work. Vowifi works aswell. I can actually see it with cell mapper, but the phone refuses to even attempt to connect. Band 12 works perfectly fine with the stock rom. I'm using the correct, tmobile USA ims modem as well. Thank you.

LineageOS 17.1/18.1 for Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact

RELEASE

This is an alternative ROM for the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact.

Creating this to honor the great work of modpunk and derf elot from https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-lineageos-18-1-unofficial-2-0-update-2021-01-20.4047763/ which seems to be discontinued. Posting an own thread to keep the latest versions visible, I'm NOT claiming authorship over the ROM.
I basically just build the ROM using the latest changes from upstream LineageOS/Google and kernel updates (usually incorporated by derf elot ) See my post.

FEATURES

• Signed with dev keys
• EAS kernel
• Passes SafetyNet out of the box (thanks Rooted_Ansh, Havoc-OS Team and kdrag0n)
• Seedvault (Video)
• IMS support (thanks to Rooted_Ansh and also Shujath)
• 17.1 has stock Sony camera (not possible on 18.1)

DOWNLOAD

You can download the latest release here.
HINT: Download both the ZIP and md5sum file so TWRP can check the consistency of the upload/download.
REQUIRED FIRMWARE: 47.2.A.11.228

IMPORTANT: I only test the 17.1 releases myself. The 18.1 are build from mostly the same sources and hopefully work. I only test them roughly.
Backup download

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: Magisk seems to cause issues (bootloops) on update, so remove it first and reinstall if required. Note that Magisk is usually not required unless you want root.

1. Put the zip file of the ROM on your SD card or internal store and boot into recovery.
2. When coming from stock ROM, do a full wipe (i.e. factory reset) via "Wipe". Do not wipe system! When flashing the stock ROM you can select to not keep user data which is equivalent to this step.
3. Go to "Install", select the zip file and add optionally the gapps zip. Then flash it.
4. After updates you may now wipe cache&dalvik (option after install)

I suggest to use modpunks TWRP recovery. Again: Don't forget the md5sum file!
TWRP 3.3.1-0 by modpunk for LineageOS 17.1
TWPR 3.5.0-0 by derf elot for LineageOS 18.1
Or use the latest TWRP from https://twrp.me/sony/sonyxperiaxz1compact.html.

For ease of use I suggest to flash this recovery (only required once):

1. Boot in Fastboot mode: Hold "Volume Up" while connecting the USB cable to phone and PC
2. Flash TWRP by running this on the PC: fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-lilac-android10-1.img
   (adjust the filename if necessary)
3. From now you can boot TWRP by turning on the phone with "Volume Down" + Power

I heavily recommend to make a full backup before any installation so you can go back in case of issues. Flashing an older ROM usually helps to recover bootloops etc.

SUPPORT

There is NONE. If you have any issues or question ask in the thread so maybe someone else knows the answer.
I'm just providing the ROM (Lineage 17.1 variant) I use myself for others to try to and just build the Lineage 18.1 ROM without much testing.
If you prefer to use a more well-tested Android 11 ROM, I suggest to look at Havoc-OS.
Contributions to the sources are welcome and likely get integrated into the next release.

ROM OS Version: Android 10/11
ROM Kernel: Linux 4.4.x
Based On: LineageOS

Hello!
I am using your rom (latest 5/16/22 update) for 2 weeks and is very nice.
However it has some problems comparing to older Havoc OS 3.11.
Note: No Gapps, latest Magisk installed
1. More battery drain and more hot. I am able to get max. 5 hours SOT and some 2 days turned on with 25 percent. I noticed some drain when i dont use device. It isnt bad but in past ROM i was able to get easy 8 hours SOT and after 3 days i had still some 20 percent of battery.
Also feeling more hot than older Havoc.
2. Some smaller freezes or input lag + random freeze and restart UI when I connect to PC.
3. Sometimes after turning on, flashlight option is grayed (cannot turn on) or camera FC but i had this problem also in Havoc. Restart device will help.
4. Connecting to network still takes long time, but i had this problem on called Havoc OS.

Just brilliant, picked up an "old" ZX1 compact and this ROM is excellent. Nicely polished!
