[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][12] LineageOS 19 for Xperia X Compact [FINAL]

[eMPee584]

Ok, so for me, magisk, microg, viper4android (with SELinux enforcing, i.e. unchanged), lsposed all working fine, very cool. Thanks a lot again @Chippa_a!

@multiwirth ,

Did you succeed with modding audio with v4a11?

Hi.
What exactly do you mean by v4a11?
There´s only one version in active development as far as i know:

Sadly i haven´t found the time to try your suggestions yet, will report back soon

The app has an updated UI (viper4a11). The module works a little different during patching from what I can recall.

@Chippa_a I want to modify this a little, specifically change the "on-device wallpaper" folder contents but I don't know where it is. /system/framework/framework-res.apk seems to be the wrong one (It only has one wallpaper). Can you point me to the right file/folder?

I also noticed that system does not go to deep sleep. Only reproduces with this LOS19, no problem with kugo LOS18. Checked with AccuBattery.

I also can confirm this, however standby drain isn't too bad anyways but could be better ofc.
Tried figuring out if there are any wakelocks but BBS doesn't show me any stats regarding to this.

It barely enters deep sleep for a while but then stays active all the time.
But overall battery life is still very solid.

Btw. Viper4Android is working fine without any additional patches after i set selinux to permissive.
I guess there's a selinux denial and v4a can't access it's driver due to missing privileges.
I will try to speak with the v4a team as they know which selinux rules they need.
Maybe there's a quick solution to fix this with selinux enforcing.
But for now I'm quite happy with this device.
Great performance, small, plays music.

 

[Tri Akbar Fitriana]

yeah tried that one too, but didn´t work in combination with another one, so i may just try it again without it!
Still very weird, v4a works on all my other devices, including my htc one m9 which also runs android 12 already (arm64) but with kernel 3.10.x still

EDIT: Still doesn´t work.
Driver status abnormal as usual.

This is same bro...

Note:
-android 9 LOS 16
-selinux permissive
-install brutal busybox

Great rom. Almost no problems with the rom, but are you guys seriously walking around with unencrypted phones in 2022?!

 

[Minao-tan]

First , thanks for this Rom I'm very happy to See Android 12 on my phone.
I have tried Encryption and it doesn't work for me. I have a bootloop.
Has anyone else tested it?
And on the Encrypt page , I had astrange bug : I wasn't able to access to the"Encrypt" button at the bottom of the page . I had to set the police size at the smallest size to see it.

For my case, storage encryption + Secure start-up - requiring password before starts up - makes boot loop. If once become this condition, no way to fix under LOS19 environment or twrp recovery, need to back to previous LOS such as LOS16.

I take it there's no chance we get encryption? It's really important to me, in case I lose it or it gets stolen.

As mentioned before, try to switch to selinux permissive.
It´s working for me at least...

yes, I have done it, for the speaker phone it really works and the status shows normal. but when I use earphones/headsets and etc, the status shows abnormal and doesn't work. Is there any way to fix it?

@multiwirth , there isn't any need to set SELinux to permissive. I have it (v4a) correctly patched and installed with it set to enforcing and didn't have to flip any switches or enter any cheat codes.
@Chippa_a , I notice battery drain and the device getting warmer than usual due to more than likely the fingerprint sensor constantly looping for input; on z5 compact @Berni-0815 configured the sensor to only be active upon button press (screen wake), which I think would resolve the issue. I confirmed this be removing fingerprint authentication and the device does not get warm like it was during light use. Kernel 4.9 could use some updates as version .227 is quite outdated. I also notice MAC randomization is not functioning and know that both the broadcom chip and kernel support it.

edit:
The curse of the reddish tint is still there, its hardly noticeable at high brightness but very visible at low backlight
---------

I've been dailydriving this rom for a few weeks now, started with fresh stock 8.0, then twrp 3.6.1_9.0-kugo los 19 + zygisk, lsposed and microg and can confirm that:

Working

- Bluetooth: Ok; tested with aptx headphone
- WiFi Hotspot: Ok; Did just a quick test but everything worked fine
- NFC: ok: It read and beeped a nfc tag i had laying around; I dont know what "HCE" is so couldn't test for it.
- DRM: Widevine L3, No HDCP; Not sure if it would go up to L1 or get hdcp if not magisk, etc (havn't tried the whole safetynet stuff), but was pleasantly surprised to even have widevine at all)
- USB Tethering: Ok; Windows pc got phone's internet flawlessly
- no reddish tint, editing display colors/brightness works flawlessly (the oposite of trebble roms i tested before)
- camera2api seems quite alright with opencamera, i've yet to test a few gcams recommendations of this thread though (the one i tried isn't saving front camera images)
- very stable, not sure i've had a random reboot or anything like that

Issues and general remarks

- Sadly, encryption indeed isn't working. I did many tests and found out that if flashing stock 8.0 and encrypt it without a pattern set, then flash this rom, los 19 will be encrypted with 'a default password' which both the rom and twrp can decrypt. Setting a password before flashing los 19 means bootloop afterwards. I even tried starting with an encrypted los 16 but los 19 would still bootloop and twrp timeout.

- My device overheats quite badly, getting 42ºc browsing and peaking 44ºc watching a video. Don't know if its rom related or just my phone showing great age. Regardless, i noticed the "Thermal" tab from SmartPack-Kernel Manager is missing, which could perhaps be related, idk.
(Probably unrelated but my screen is a bit bumped outwards, so my phone's proximity sensor is always triggered, haven't found an easy way to fix it yet)

- Also on SmartPack-Kernel Manager, "CPU times" show "failed to load frequencies" for both big and little cpus (so i don't know if it's getting any deepsleep or not), and i'm not sure setting maximum/minimum frequencies is sticking. I would greatly appreciate tips on how to safely underlock my device with this rom and get deepsleep readings.

- Though fingerprint is lightning fast, i noticed some annoiances from daily use: Sometimes it won't unlock when i want because of "too many attempts", which i was not aware of attempting, as just lightly passing a finger throught it triggers an attempt. Sometimes it unlocks even while i'm attempting to lock it (because i didn't remove my finger quick enough from the power button).


This is an awesome rom, i am very happy with it as is. Though i've written many words, all this is just meant as feedback for both devs of the rom, if they find it useful, and users that might stumble on this thread.

If i could wish for anything though, I'd wish for device encryption with secure startup, damn i'd wish it so hard

But overall, thanks very much for everyone from this sub, keeping this device relevant to this date. I feel like the xc really is the last of actually compact android phones, which is kinda a shame, but it's on android 12 now which is awesome

I had the same issue with my X compact overheating. Replacing the battery solved the problem. Dave

Thank you for keeping this small device alive. Will test this later!

 

[betacrypt]

Thanks for the new May build!

 

[Chippa_a]

New build is available!​

• May 2022 security patches
• Fixed Full Disk Encryption
• LineageOS upstream updates and fixes

You can install the new build manually or using the built-in Updater app (requires at least TWRP 3.6.x or LineageOS Recovery).

Note: To get a working Android 12 decryption in recovery, you must install the latest version (≥ 3.6.1_9-1) of TWRP.

 

[Minao-tan]

• Fixed hardware encryption

That means hardware encryption is now fully working? Awesome!

Thankyou for your hard work.
Could you by any chance add signature spoofing support to this rom?
It's necessary for MicroG to work properly.

If you got no problem with magisk, root and the likes, im running it quite fine with:
- zygisk(magisk)
- lsposed
- FakeGApps (need to select "Android System" in LSposed)
- microG_Installer_Revived

edit:
i mostly only use push notifications and gps/navigation stuff but everything is green on microg app so it should be fine
