Hi @ all

My XA2 cannot connect to a WiFi anymore (hidden SSID, MAC-filtering active). It used to work. Device is configured to use original MAC (which is whitelisted).
But from one day to the next it only states "… not in range"

Nothing changed at the WiFi setup.
Other devices as Laptop, other Smartphone, Tablet,… can still connect.

Anybody knows a solution?
Maybe somehow reset WiFi Settings/Saved Networks?

… seems to be a known issue but not fixed yet.

Found this https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/3045 (2 weeks ago) and this https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/2678 (4 months ago).
Both Issues still "open".

Hope it will get fixed soon 🤞

Or is there a known workaround I could use meanwhile?

Hi LuK1337

thanks for all your work in LOS for pioneer, and that for many years.

Now LOS 18.1 is OFFICIAL, but it's for many people not easy to migrate.

Poking around with LOS 18.1 for days/weeks showed me much trouble and many problems due to the new "Scoped Storage Policy". It's really awful.

So I would ask if there are any plans to have the LOS 17.1(!) even in future just only as a monthly security update. Maybe... as UNOFFICIAL again?

I expect, many pioneer users would like to stay with an actual Android10/LOS17.1.

Thank you very very much,
samhhmobil

I guess the best one can do then is take the last released 17.1 and stay on that. But no more updates - just like it happens with an OEM.

I have a latest 17.1(last?) lineageOS at XA2. I have problem with MMS. When I receive MMS there is no picture/photo but link "Tap to download". Despite tapping nothing happend. Just "Downloading" message forever and my WIFI is ON.
How to make MMS download automatically? Is it a bug?

OFF-TOPIC in this thread, but:

MoKee is not a real alternative.

Yes, it's updated daily, but:...

MoKee is a chinese variant, and...: they're collecting data from your phone (including your country and your mobile provider, for example) and they will give these data to (chinese or other) authorities if "legally" (whatever this means in such countries) requested by them. It is written in their policy that they will do so.

So it's a totally No-Go! It's a kind of a "spy-rom".

Just my 2¢,
samhhmobil

I found a "workaround" for staying with LOS17.1 on XA2 (for those people who cannot upgrade to 18.1 for different reasons).

It's "iodéOS" for XA2 (to find in this forum), based on LOS17.1, but focused on much better privacy. And it's yet on security patch level of 2021/05. Not frequently updated, but when it's necessary, and OTA-updates are working.

Nice. What else do I want?

Thanks to LuK1337 for all his work in LOS for Xperia-XA2.

I understand, that his work is now and in future to LOS-18.1 (or, if coming, higher ones).

Nevertheless there are reasons to me, not to migrate to Android-11, but to stay in Android-10 (LOS17.1), but with actual security patches.

My solution is now to build LOS-17.1 frequently (monthly) by myself, as "UNOFFiCIAL". And, yes, it works as it should. My latest build of LOS-17.1 for pioneer is on security parch level of July 5th, 2021.

So, if someone else is interested in this unofficial ROM, please let me know.

I was fed up with the horrible performance of Android 12 on my pioneer, so I made a new 17.1 build from the official sources last night.

So far, it runs extremely stable, just as I remembered it. You can get it here to save you the trouble of building it yourself:

    LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 10, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

    LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

    All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

    Instructions :
    • Download the latest build and gapps
    • Boot to recovery
    • Flash the latest build
    • Boot to recovery again
    • Flash gapps
    • Reboot
    Downloads :
    Reporting Bugs
    • DO NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel or you installed Xposed
    • Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
    • If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
    • If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
    Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

    Code:
    What is your--
    LineageOS version:
    LineageOS Download url:
    Gapps version:

    ROM OS Version: Windows 8 Mobile

    Version Information
    Status: Testing

    Created 2019-10-08
    Last Updated 2020-04-01
    11
    [ protip: 20191010+ builds require 50.2 FW (at least bluetooth, dsp, modem from it) If you're still running 50.1 you can flash this package in TWRP: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261716572 unless you're fine with having partially broken audio and broken Egistec fingerprint sensor ;3 ]

    However if you want to flash whole firmware package onto both slots, you can follow the guide below:

    1. Download latest firmware with XperiFirm.
    NOTE: When using mono XperiFirm will fail to unpack the firmware, you can do it manually using following commands:
    Code:
    for f in FILE_*; do unzip $f; done
    unzip boot.zip -d boot
    2. Go to the directory where the firmware got downloaded to and remove following files:
    - boot_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE_0x00.hash
    - boot_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE.sin
    - persist_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE_0x00.hash
    - persist_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE.sin
    - system_other_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE_0x00.hash
    - system_other_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE.sin
    - system_other_X-FLASH-ALL-9B8D_0x00.hash
    - system_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE_0x00.hash
    - system_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE.sin
    - system_X-FLASH-ALL-9B8D_0x00.hash
    - userdata_X-FLASH-CUST-18AE.sin
    - vendor_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE_0x00.hash
    - vendor_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE.sin
    - vendor_X-FLASH-ALL-9B8D_0x00.hash
    3. Turn off your phone, hold vol dn and plug in the USB cable, the screen should be off and green LED lit.
    4. Run Newflasher, it'll flash entire FW to your current slot then unplug the USB cable and power on your phone.
    5. Reboot to recovery mode (both Lineage recovery and TWRP will work)
    6. Flash https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261712574
    7. Profit?

    Anyone have any clue on when the builds will resume? Is the hacking incident sorted?
    From Twitter (for the sake of completeness):

    LineageOS @LineageAndroid · 3. Mai

    Around 8PM PST on May 2nd, 2020 an attacker used a CVE in our saltstack master to gain access to our infrastructure.

    We are able to verify that:
    - Signing keys are unaffected.
    - Builds are unaffected.
    - Source code is unaffected.

    See http://status.lineageos.org for more info.
    https://twitter.com/LineageAndroid/status/1256821056100163584

    From Reddit (haggertk = a LOS director):

    haggertk · 7 days ago

    Well, it looked like the compromise was fairly contained (more details will be forthcoming in a blog post), but burning it all to the ground and rebuilding, using backups where appropriate, is better than hoping you fully cleaned it all.

    (...)

    No, we're in the process of rebuilding pretty much everything except signing - web, mail, gerrit, buildbots, mirrorbits, etc.

    If it's public and up right now it's because it was rebuilt.

    haggertk · 3 days ago

    Something completely independent from the salt exploitation happened somewhere around/just after April 23. The build trees on some of our build servers got "stuck" and weren't picking up submitted changes. Because the build date would be a lie, and it wasn't worth the effort to map which specific builds came off the "stuck" servers, we removed all builds for all devices after the apparent fault timeframe.

    (...)

    They aren't unsafe, just potentially with a codebase that is a few days older than what's represented in the build info.

    If the concern is in any way related to the infra exploit, I will repeat what we publicly stated a week ago - no completed builds, source code, keys, or signing servers were compromised in any way.

    (...)

    Did we run into problems? Sure, if you call people's actual paying jobs and personal lives a problem.

    Still in work, hoping for by the end of weekend, which is rather good for a "rebuild the entire world" kind of situation. If we miss the date, we miss the date.

    It's important to note that development was only halted for less than two days. And let's be honest, the vast majority of devices haven't had anything truly important submitted in a way that really needs a new build.

    [announcement]
    I just released new builds /w Nov SPL but there's a c-catch.
    If you're updating from 20191025-20191102 to newer build you'll need to do: `rm -rf /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads /data/data/com.android.providers.media /data/misc/wifi /data/misc_ce/0/wifi` in root shell (adb root && adb shell or adb shell × su if using Magisk or something)
