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 :(

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.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad it's (mostly) working for you :)

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.

trying to move from Havok to Lineage17.1, but after flashing the image it fails to boot, then reboots into twrp. I tried both the latest twrp and also the 3.3.1 version.

Any ideas what I can do?

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

    However I just quickly checked on the spare phone and I do still have that setting on latest 19.1, although it is more hidden than on 17.1 (which I'm using personally)

    Also switching to 2G is what I do when I have network issues (and done by the switcher service on startup). But I've seen a changeset that might help better here. Will be included in the February builds if that works.

    Wiping dalvik and cache is what I always do. Here I guess there was something on /system which shouldn't be there. Glad you could fix that! The SafetyNet fix is one of the things I do test for every update so I'd be surprised if it doesn't work.

    I uploaded MicroG builds for all 3 versions, they are named e.g. lineage-19.1-20230131-MICROG instead of lineage-19.1-20230131-UNOFFICIAL but are contained in the same folder.

    As they are not compatible with each other (not sure if you can dirty-flash one over the other, at least you need to wipe system) you have to be careful to choose the correct one!

    The 2G setting is gone since 19.1 i believe on derfelot's build as well.
    As for the fingerprint it's been like this on flamefires builds for a while, dunno why, some of his changes broke that functionality because on derf's builds it's working fine.

    I can double-check why the 2G setting is gone but it looks like it was removed upstream. I see if I can patch it back.
    As for the fingerprint: This is not "broken" but working as intended: A lot of people here complained that touching the on/off button immediately unlocks the phone. Hence I decided to follow suit with upstream LOS to disable this if the fingerprint is integrated into the powerbutton and cherry-picked a change used in similar LOS devices: https://github.com/Flamefire/androi...mmit/924352c24a95959941fe5a471741528dc2d87026
    Unfortunately there isn't a user-setting to change this although I was thinking about adding one. I think that the current setting being the default makes sense also from a security perspective as unlocking the phone also enables NFC payments so doing that by accident can be a real problem.

    Anyway: I'm currently very packed with work as I'm backporting security patches to the kernel, incorporating new changes from 19.1 to 17/18.1, updating blobs to hopefully resolve the connection loss issue (has anyone observed those on 19.1?) and just got the MicroG build working on 18.1 so at least that will be there once I'm done

    You need to format the data partition, not just wipe it. It is usually possible to upgrade to a higher Android version by dirty flashing. but downgrading to a lower version usually requites you to format. The steps I usually follow are
    1. Format data partition
    2. Install the ROM
    3. Boot the system, go through first time setup, setting whatever screen lock (pattern, PIN) you had when you made the backup
    4. Boot to recovery
    5. Restore the backup

    Good luck!

    LineageOS 17/18/19 for Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact

    logo.png


    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://forum.xda-developers.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+)

    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.
    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 test the 17.1 releases myself. The 18.1/19.1 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 / 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 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.

    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!

    I updated the ROM with the January security patches. I also included the "Ultra Dim" QuickSettings tile to reduce the screen brightness (overall). But that is experimental. I'm thinking about including that in the range of the brightness, i.e. make the lowest brightness levels less. Problem is that there are only 255 values possible so I have to define a switch-over point somehow and distribute those 255 values over effectively 2 distinct ranges. Let's see...

    I also added Google Drive downloads temporarily as a backup if AFH fails again...
