One thing i have found on latest build LOS 17.1 8/12/22 - incomming telephone calls - at first i hear my ringtone and i dont see who are calling me and after some seconds, answering screen becomes

Ah, I thought it was something bugging on my particular phone. But I suffer the same. Also when using the 3CX voip app for work by the way. Super annoying!

Currently testing the September builds. AFH seems to reject uploads right now, so might take another day or 2. Also checking the 19.1 sources from derfelot and integrating some of the changes into the new build, e.g. new APN settings.

BTW: Is there anyone who would prefer the 18.1 version over the 19.1 version? Thinking about porting my changes to 19.1 and not building 18.1 anymore, so 17.1 for those who want the Sony camera app and 19.1 for those who want a fresh system. Not sure if there is any advantage of the 18.1 version over 19.1

i tried 19.1 a couple times and always went back to 17.1

I was always on 18.1 , but then switched to 19.1 and not going back - faster, drains less battery and nicer for the eye. So since derfelot stopped building 19.1 I think this is a great idea.

Same here. I think 17.1 for those who really want / need the stock camera app, 19.1 for others is the right way to go

I prefer 18.1

I prefer 18.1

As a matter of interest, why? What is better about 18.1?

Imho, the quick tiles / toggles. Much better on A11 than A12. And, generally, much better visual design than the kiddie-like A12. Otherwise, the latter seems to be better.

I hate tiles in 19.1. I've also xperia 5 II with android 12 stock,but i hate that big rectangular tiles! And in 19.1 the guide (posted in this forum) to use sony framework don't work.

I'll try to backport some of the performance/battery changes from 19.1 to 17.1/18.1 and hope that helps but pretty busy with not much free time and maintaining 2 ROM versions is already a lot of work and the 19.1 changes are quite big. I just started looking through them although I got the kernel BPF stuff done locally now which is a major part.
That wouldn't be possible without the work of derfelot (I'm mostly cherry-picking his commits to my fork to make sure the security fixes I already have done and checked don't get lost), so many thanks for his hard work!

BTW: September builds are now finally uploaded

Yay! Github tags coming soon?

I would prefer 19.1 as well.

Thanks for working on this! Saved my phone from the voLTE nightmare carriers are enforcing right now. Love having Android 11, too! And adding a vote for staying on 18.1; Android 12+ is such a worse UI/UX for my taste.

A few things that are still buggy: the phone always boots into the Light theme. Dark Mode settings will not persist. I currently have Tasker set to change this on boot, but it's hit or miss.

Also, Wi-Fi calling did not work on @modpunk 's last build, but voLTE did. On the 09/22 build in this thread, Wi-Fi calling works well, but voLTE does not. I then changed the IMS toggle in the Xperia parts setting area, and it took a minute to find LTE but when it did voLTE worked!

Any idea how to make Dark Mode permanent? Is there a file somewhere I can patch?

Another possible issue: this version seems to have a harder time picking up an LTE signal (or any signal at all) until I manually switch to 2G and then to LTE. Is there a modem config or something I should try? It get's LTE fine once it finds it, but often it needs help.

 

[Rataplan626]

Yeah I don't like Android 12 so far either. Doesn't bring me anything new but I don't like it's UI.

 

[rez78]

There's a way to hide bootloader warning when turn on the phone? Thanks

Use network switcher service

 

[mxbndr]

Thanks, I did have that activated. It didn't seem to change anything. I wonder if it's because it is seeking 3G networks that have been turned off, rather than 2G ("GSM").

Where does 3G networks have been turned off?

I'm using 17.1 (because of the stock camera and I think also the faster storage access framework). I noticed VoLTE isn't provisioned as shown in the *#*#4636#*#* Phone Info settings. To get VoLTE working, do I need to reinstall stock firmware to get it enabled before reinstalling LOS again? My carrier says they are VoLTE in their FAQ.
