[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][11][R]LineageOS 18.1 for z5c (suzuran)

[slouse1]

For those that are still struggling with the camera, I installed Open Camera v1.51.1 and actiated the Camera2 API, which enables switching to manual focus among other features. With manual focus, I can take relative focused images at close range, but whatever focus I set, the images are much more fuzzy than images of the same objects taken with my son's phone, which is the same phone but still with the stock ROM. This is the case for both close and long range images. Turning on DRO makes the images somehow nicer, but still a long way from the quality with the stock ROM. Just fuzzy, with little details and dull colours.

I installed the version from December, and if I open the Updater, it does not find any updates. How can I update without having to flash a new rom and re-install all apps?

There is no update server. So there is no way to update this ROM without flashing a new version.

That's well known...

I flashed from stock rom to LOS 18.1 and have to say, great stuff, thanks for your work.
I just have a little problem, tried the search, but had no luck:
When "Networktyp" is set to LTE or 3G and I dial a number, it takes 20 seconds, then the mobile network is disconnecting and than reconnecting. After that it starts dialing.
Setting the Networktyp to 2G, phone is dialing immediately.
I checked LOS 17.1 and 19 and that issue doesn't occur (but a few other problems .
Is there something I can try or do about it?

 

[Berni-0815]

Yes. I need a full LOG (see 1st post, part Troubleshooting), where the error occurs.
Additinally, I need your policy file:

adb pull /sys/fs/selinux/policy

Upload these two files (as an archive) to a filehoster of your choice and send the link to me exclusively via PM, because they may contain personal data.

Hi, maybe yet another stupid question, but... how do I build this ROM myself? Are the sources in the official LineageOS repo (https://github.com/LineageOS/android/tree/lineage-18.1)?

 

[petefoth]

Are the sources in the official LineageOS repo

No they are in the Kernel and Device tree repos linked in the first post in this thread

You will also need some more of Berni's repos, specifically

• - Manifests
• - Init scripts
• - Vendor blobs
  • https://github.com/Professor-Berni/proprietary_vendor_sony
  • https://github.com/Professor-Berni/proprietary_vendor_sony_extras
• plus, if you want to include the MicroG stuff
  • https://github.com/Professor-Berni/android_vendor_fdroid
  • https://github.com/Professor-Berni/android_vendor_microG
  • https://github.com/Professor-Berni/android_vendor_AuroraServices

You need them too. But if you're using my init- and build-scripts and local_manifests, everything will be downloaded automatically.

Thanks @petefoth and @Berni-0815, I followed your instruction and the build is now running!

so, i flashed this rom onto my phone (in hopes to main it again) but the phone does not read my sim card. can i fix that somehow? the last time i tried it on another rom the card worked.

 

[Berni-0815]

First you should flash the latest stock ROM 32.4.A.1.54, fully set it up and then reflash LineageOS.

idk why but i don't have that one available in flash tool, do i have to try another tool or am i screwed

Try to use THIS flashtool

And then click on the XPeriFirm Button. Then select E5832, choose your region and download the firmware. The FlashTool then creates the flashable ROM.

which comes straight from the future, btw (check https://flashtool.net/news.html) ;-)

so how would i flash this then, flashing with flash mode doesn't see it (and the button inside the app does nothing for me, had to download xperifirm manualy to get it)

 

[Berni-0815]

and the button inside the app does nothing for me

I understand! That's a bug in newer versions of the FlashTool. The XperiFirm execution file is missing! Dunno why...
You have to copy XperiFirm(32/64).exe from your downloaded XperiFirm archive (depending on your Windows Version) as XperiFirm.exe (without 32 or 64) to:

/windows/C/Users/<username>/.flashTool/XperiFirm.exe

or the equivalent in microsoft naming conventions:

C:\Users\<username>\.flashTool\XperiFirm.exe
