I have recently made unofficial and custom LOS 17.1 and 18.1 builds of LineageOS for microg for lilac, based on FlameFire's most recent builds.

The builds are available in this AndroidFileHost directory

Updated builds available, based on @Flamefire's July release. Sorry for the delay.

On the 18.1 builds, banking apps from UK’s Co-operative Bank are working fine (Co-operative Bank Personal and Business apps, and Smile banking app). Sadly they don't work on the 17.1 builds :(

On an semi-related note, I encountered this trying to figure out what's causing the battery drain seen in that screenshot: 60% drop in less than a day with at least 8 hours of that time in airplane mode. The numbers/percentages listed just don't add up.

Higher battery drain was on my phone always caused by a wrong APN.
For me it should be telekom.Internet and was set to something like lebara.internet.
Still no clue how and why the APN changed...

I installed your LOS 18.1 microG variant and using this as my only device. So far I am happy and truly grateful to Flamefire and you!

I also would like to report that perhaps due to dev-keys, two of my apps refuse to work. One says internet connection error while the other says "root detected" when I don't have root. These are two banking apps btw.

Banking apps can be very picky about working on custom ROMs. I'm not going to make a non-debug version: part* of my backup strategy uses the Android Backup and Restore Tools project, which relies on having rooted debugging available in Developer options. For the bank I use whose app won't run, I do my online banking via a web browser rather than a dedicated app.

* The other part of my backup strategy uses TWRP

Ok I understand, sure I use the web version, too. Fortunately in this case the service is available on web. Anyway here in my country there are some providers who do not offer the service outside the app, and in that case it is not great. We should avoid these types of services available in app only btw.

Oh and I am buying two more XZ1c for my family for our plan of getting rid of smartphone influence so we are going to use these XZ1c as "advanced feature-phones" with everything needed except for Socials, YT, RSS, Browsing, etc.. So I am very happy these is still support for this gem.

I just encountered this same problem (almost a year after this author's post) on 17.1-20220516. While it doesn't seem like a big deal on the surface (time & date sync as soon as it gets a network connection), it has the annoying side-effect of totally throwing off the battery stats, as shown in this screenshot:

View attachment 5674555

I didn't see any further posts offering solutions but wondering if anyone else might know what's causing this.

Had this months ago on a device running 17.1 after switching from a german to a swiss provider. The device was usually warm on the backside close to the sim and needed a recharge twice a day.

Same was true for airplane mode. Only removal of sim brought improvement.

After switching to 18.1 the issue was gone. I cannot tell if it was the APN settings, unfortunately I didn't check them before and after.

Thank you for the advice. I got it to work by using EMMA to go to stock first. I guess that was the long way to format data :s

    Currently uploading the remaining builds (19.1 & MicroG versions) after some more testing and fixes. Play Integrity now passes on all builds and Wallet should hence work again. You can also use the PIF JSON file to change the fingerprints in case it gets blocked, as if PlayIntegrityFork was installed. Place it at /data/adb/pif.json to use. Only Build fields are supported though (i.e. not the properties)
    See the example file or better /vendor/etc/pif.json on the phone for the format and current usages.

    The time issues on 17.1 persist and are hard to fix if at all so I stopped searching for a fix after some time as it works on 18 & 19 and on 17 the auto-set from network is "good enough". Or just don't reboot ;-)

    Happy Easter!

    I uploaded the 17 & 18 versions of the new ROM to GDrive. Google wallet seems to work. The 19 and MicroG versions still need some testing, will upload after Easter.

    @snoopy29 not sure what you mean exactly. Can you Clearly describe the issue? But likely not fixed as I have spent a lot of time on IMS, kernel issues and the Play Integrity stuff especially if the time issue only happen on reboot it is annoying but not crucial. I haven't seen it on 17-non-MicroG (using network time which might hide it)

    Hi everyone, is there a possibility with the next release to have gpay working again? I tried with magisk but nothing to do. the device is certified in the PlayStore, but when I try to associate the payment card with the wallet app, the message I get is that it is not possible to continue because the phone is not secure. until December/January it worked well without even needing to use magisk....
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    This is unrelated to the builds, but a huge wave of Bans of devices (actually fingerprints) from Google. So I assume even the stock ROM won't be usable anymore. Previously I implemented a Play Integrity spoofer into the ROM itself which made it work so far.
    I have a workaround ready which at least passes PlayIntegrityChecker, so hopefully also the Wallet check. But it is also possible that no custom ROM will work anymore... E.g. I had an app detecting "an insecure device" even though even Google Wallet was still working so the spoofing was in effect but not enough.


    Another question:
    Is there anyone where IMS is not working although it should be supported by the carrier? If so on which version of this ROM are you on? I could provide a test version attempting to workaround that issue.

    I've seen that, IIRC someone posted a link to that earlier or at least one that led to that. I'm using this solution but again have modified in a way that it will be integrated into the ROM with the next release (testing in progress right now), such that Magisk is not required. I've spent some time to make it flexible enough such that it will work as long as possible without rebuilds as I'll switch to LOS 20+ after this last release since there won't be any security updates (reasonably) possible.

    Issue is present on 17.1 and 18.1, based on my tests and reports. The user above is talking about 18.1.
    On my device, on 17.1, the Wake and Unlock option is not even present in Xperia Parts (might be I applied the patch incorrectly on my ROM).

    If you decide against temporarly disabling the modification, my next suggestion would be to set the default to the known working behavior: Wake and Unlock disabled in XperiaParts.

    EDIT 2: On my end, no MicroG present.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    I just tested 17.1 and 18.1 non-MicroG on 2 devices and either option seems to works fine. With the option enabled the behavior is as expected:
    - Lock phone by pressing the power button -> Display turns off
    - Touch (not press) the power button with registered finger -> Display turns on and phone unlocks

    However I've seen the issue randomly pop up. Sometimes waiting a minute after locking the phone won't turn the FP sensor back on until the phone is unlocked via pattern/PIN. Strange...
    Note that the setting is not in XperiaParts but in regular android settings Security->Gear icon next to "screen lock".
    The behavior including defaulting to ON is from LOS upstream. I might change that though for 17/18 where I backported it.

    Side 'request' on that, a few weeks ago I completely installed Test1 and Test2 (18.1) from scratch. It seems be default IMS is enabled, but it's not supported by my carrier. Because of that (I think) the radio reset after trying for a while, also disconnecting WiFi. It comes back, only to get reset after half a minute again. This made it a real PITA to restore my Google backup during the initial setup, took several tries to actually login and a really long time to have it download the apps and settings restored from backup, because of the constant WiFi disconnects. And as far as I know you can only do that after a factory reset, ie. I can't disable the setting yet, and when I can I can't do the restore anymore.
    So... if a carrier DOES support IMS but it's disabled in settings, will that work for those users or will it also keep resetting for them then? If not, would it be feasible to disable that by default so the initial setup can be done properly?

    Another sidenote, test2 DOES slow down my phone after about a week, I've had twice that in the morning it was so slow I had to reboot. Not an issue if it's once about a week, but still wanted to report.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    Very strange indeed. Then yes, disabling IMS by default might be the safe call here. As a workaround you could remove the SIM for the initial setup.
    I'll try to avoid the performance issue for this final build. But can't be sure as I don't know what might be causing it and testing something that appears after a week is unfeasible.

    Bug: Touch / tap events are sometimes missed in the 17.1 February build

    I *think* this is new behavior in the February build, but I haven't reverted to the January build to see if it was actually introduced there. In any case, it was working fine until recently.

    Screen touch events are sometimes failing to register. I notice most often when some letters are ignored while I'm typing, or when some drag/swipe gestures are ignored, almost as if I was wearing a glove or had wet fingers.

    Yes this is possible that this is the same issue which was fixed at that point. Will be fixed in next release, thanks for confirming my suspicion!

    LineageOS 17/18/19 for Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact

    logo.png


    RELEASE

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

    It is based on 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/ with recent security updates, some backported from newer versions.

    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+)

    DOWNLOAD
    You can download the latest release here. (Backup download when AFH isn't uploading)
    HINT: Download both the ZIP and md5sum file so TWRP can check the consistency of the upload/download.
    Make sure you download the right version, vanilla LineageOS is named lineage-*UNOFFICIAL-lilac.zip while the MicroG version is named lineage-*-MICROG--lilac.zip

    REQUIRED FIRMWARE: 47.2.A.11.228

    IMPORTANT:     I only use the 17.1 releases myself. The 18.1/19.1 are build from mostly the same sources and roughly tested, i.e. boots, WiFi works and SN passes/MicroG self check shows OK.

    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". You don't need to 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 / derf elot
    Or use the latest TWRP for 17.1/18.1 or TWRP for 19.1.
    3.7.0 Seems to work well with latest updates (decryption working) but LineageOS 19.1 (Android 12) requires the ones with "_12" suffix, e.g. 3.6.2_12.

    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.

    Upgrades between versions​

    Dirty-flashing (e.g. from 17.1 to 18.1) works well but you have to also flash a GApps version matching the Android version or the device will bootloop.
    For the upgrade to 19.1 you may need to fully remove OpenGapps by wiping /system and install e.g. MindTheGapps.

    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 too and build the Lineage 18/19 ROMs without much testing.
    Contributions to the sources are welcome and likely get integrated into the next release.

    I'm happy to announce the June update. Took a lot more work as I backported quite a bit to our kernel to fix CVE-2021-39686 although I'm not sure we were ever really affected by that. Anyway the backport fixes that hole and a few potential others making the device a bit safer!

    April updates are out, enjoy! Again I had to backport every security patch from 18.1 to 17.1 so it really seems to be dying...
    I might switch to building LOS 20 though as derfelot doesn't seem to be providing updates anymore. And especially the battery charge/protection service that might be coming there looks promising...

    Could you provide LineageOS recovery for this device?

    Sorry no. I'd need to research how to create that recovery and maintaining 3/6 different ROM versions is already enough work especially with the hugely increased time/effort to keep LOS 17, so I can't afford to do even more.

    @MarkMRL Update 20220516 is out which should also fix the headset issue. Reproduced, found and fixed it as far as I can tell.
