Wow, this is awesome! Thank you for keeping this device still alive in 2019 and all your efforts for bringing LOS 16 to the Xperia SP!

 

[laim_name]

OMG, this device travelled from 4.1 to stable 9.0
Isn't it amazing?
All thanks to FXP team, mrcl1450, AdrianDC and other guys who do commits on github.
I'm on XZ1C now, but sometimes im looking on development for my old XSP, because it's still lies on my table.
Wow, just amazing...

Miracast on Android Pie

Sadly Google has removed support for Miracast in AOSP P.

An attempt to revive the abandoned code for LineageOS 16.0 is ongoing and on review.

Sorry, I mistakenly wrote the previous post to the wrong thread.

I confirm, Miracast works correctly on android 9 for OnePlus One for custom ROMs:
Arrow OS and BootleggersROM.


Maybe this information will be useful.

 

[MrCooper95]

Thank you for making this ROM Adrian, great work.

There's one issue though, the ROM keeps stuttering/lagging most of the time. Much more than your older LOS 16.0 April build.

Official LOS 15.1 does not have this issue.

I don't use GApps.

Hey guys does anyone knows what Magisk version is compatible with this ROM?

micro gapps package is not install with latest LOS16. THE SYSTEM SAYS no space is available after flashing los16 (latest). so then how to install micro gapps in that case?

Recent is compatible but you must flash it through Bootbridge.

Official mirror.

Hello AdrianDC, i have clicked the Official downloads page some times, but basketbuild is no longer active
(maybe month).
And next question: Development page is for beta builds ? Maybe this is answer, why my Xperia SP lags.

I can confirm that 19.4 is also working fine.

Everything seems to be fine with me, including the proximity gestures. What precisely is the issue that you are referring to, though?

 

[jinkaal]

Whats the difference between this and the official one? which one is more stable?

 

[Ungewiss]

Whats the difference between this and the official one? which one is more stable?

There is no "official" LOS 16.0 for this devices. Only 15.1. Adrian DC is the maintainer of both. When he finds the time he will probably make the required changes to the official builds, but in the meantime you can use this one.

Note that you need special migration builds if you want to switch between official and unofficial builds.

Regarding stability: the 15.1 branch has (for me, my wife and at least one other xda user) memory handling issues since September. So in general it is very stable, but might fill memory up and then freeze for a minute..
