The competition between AOSP and Lineage for Xperia SP has begun

The competition between AOSP and Lineage for Xperia SP has begun.
Only one can be a winner.
Who?
Adrian!:good:

In the summer of 2017, I watched your huge successes in the development of the android.
Then I bought two copies of the C5303 expecting you to be able to prepare Android Oreo for them.
I was not disappointed.
For many months, I've been comparing ROM stock to next versions 7.1.2 and now 8.x.x.
I can not come out of admiration for your abilities.

Big, big thanks for the fun you give us, ROM users.
Adrian, you're amazing. Thanks to your skills and abilities, we still get new, efficient and stable versions of the android.

DahakePL · Mar 3, 2018 at 10:05 PM

You're kind of a legend for some people right now, even on the Z2 forums.
Amazing work as always, runs smooth and it seems to be one of your greatest creations.

Best regards from the XDA family

Tried installing the AOSP 8.1.0 with a complete wipe(System,Caches,Internal Storage...followed by formatting data[not sure if it matters....but just tried]), but Google Pay Services force closes every time. Is it the same issue with this LOS? Thanks in advance.

I have tried pico version and I confirm: it doesn't work. OP says MICRO opengapps version, and it works without problem.

Anyone have problem with Viber or similar chat app, if i'm in other app like browser it doesn't show notification, only show when i enter Viber, i had the same problem in Aosp rom... Seems like some ram management issue, or Viber maybe...

scruffy1 · Mar 6, 2018 at 10:08 PM

i installed pico

it faffs around a lot during the initial install with lots of apps crashing and stopping

and then after enough time to settle in, by ignoring the phone, it later works without any problems at all

i had to install maps (not part of pico), and the location was vague, but i don't turn services on for that anyway - google know plenty about me without stalking me too
