DOWNLOAD

You can download the latest release here. Check the ChangeLog below for firmware requirements!

INSTALLATION

Put the zip file of the ROM on you sdcard or internal store and boot into recovery. If you use my TWRP recovery, you should use that one to flash the ROM.

Make sure you select Zip signature verification.

This will make sure the zip file has not been altered!

KNOWN ISSUES

• UnifiedNlp doesn't work with LineageOS 18.1 yet

Really great news! Can't wait been a long time user of your LOS releases for this device

Request to kindly include ims support for carriers from poplar_dsds. If not all, at least demand basis

IMS is currently completely disabled for 17.1 for now because it has caused issues (constant modern crashes) - at least for about 5/6 boots. still needs some love

Sent from my Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact using XDA Labs

Just wanted to publicly thank the amazing team that has made this happen. Phone is rocking with 17.1

I have noticed some issues with GPS if I use high accuracy. Seems to work when I use device only. Also occasionally get a screen freeze that resolves with a lock unlock. As I built myself off the available source I expect its just my own personal issues, I find it normally is in life

If I can catch it and log it, I'll post them here or elsewhere

Where to download? After the link is opened, it is displayed as localhosts

 

[iReebu]

Thank you for making this rom!! When do you think will it be available to download?

 

[uhmnothanksgoogle]

Fine jobs on all your roms, thank you! Once again a small donation went your way.

Would you consider looking at the UnifiedNlp situation (network-based location only working on networktype 2G if at all)? It is somewhat a deal breaker to not have network-based location for me, somewhat, enough that I downgraded to 15.1 today from 16 (couldn't get my head around the workarounds needed to make UnifiedNlp work on LOS16 / Android 9).

Well there are several issues. There hasn't been a release in a long time. There are PRs to support newer versions of Android but nobody is merging them.

For example:
https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_UnifiedNlp/pull/174
https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_UnifiedNlp/pull/183

Is it you who decided to include UnifiedNlp in your LOS releases or is it an upstream decision (by the official LOS team, whomever they are)?

I'm just thinking it is very frustrating to have it included in the ROM when it is not working. Would it be better to ditch it for now and add it back later when the problems have been fixed (be that in AOSP or UnifiedNlp)?

Could a workaround be included in the ROM? Something like what is done here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81427023&postcount=817 , use another build of UnifiedNlp (if I understand correctly, and if it does not involve the whole of microG with spoofing patches etc.).

What a great news! hope it could be one of the best rom for this device!

Location problems are the same as for LOS 16 I suspect, see e.g. here https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1-co...ineageos-16-0-unofficial-todo-t3925675/page91

You said phone is rocking with Los 17.1, where did you get it?

If you mean where he got LOS17 he built it from source https://github.com/cryptomilk/android_device_sony_lilac .

If you mean where he got his phone and which phone it is, I don't know.

The first time I read this thread (7th February it was, I suppose) I guess there was a valid URL, then it was updated and local host added.
Too bad I haven't downloaded that ROM! ?

 

[Aki-Zakura]

Coming s∞n.
Btw, is this the 1st Android 10 ROM out there?
