[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][12][S]LineageOS 19.1 for z5c (suzuran)

[ruicunh79]

For which variant? Besides, I suppose you would prefer a customized (i.e. operators free) ROM, right?

EDIT: Anyway, here is the Customized_PT ftf file for the E5823 variant. Hope it suits your needs.

Muito obrigado!

Added microG version of my ROM; see 1st post!

Has anyone tested this version? Have you seen any weird behaviour?

Muito obrigado!

Não por isso! Abraço!

Hello Berni,

thanks for your work at the z5c. I am currently using the /e/ version of it, but it is a little bit laggy. Which rom do you recommend? It would be nice to have also the possibility to build it by myself, especially, if it is not supported anymore. I had nicki (xperia m) before and after lineageos dropped the support, I was able to build it by myself and got the latest security patches. I would use microg for it...

The old kernel has also some issues... is VPN or hotspot working for lineageos >= 19? Thanks!

 

[Berni-0815]

I am using my own los19.1
VPN should work; blokada does work and that is a kind of VPN afaik. Hotspot should work too.

 

[DaZZZl1]

Thanks ... is there any possibility to compile it by myself?

 

[Berni-0815]

Sure. At the 1st post is a link to my sources.

• Added Aurora-Store, F-Droid and UnifiedNLP! If you don't want this, simply de-install it.

Hi Berni
Would you consider adding Aurora Services to your MicroG ROMs as a `priv-app`? It makes using updating apps installed from Aurora Store much easier and less fiddly.
Thanks

I'm not sure how to download any stuff from GitLab (I'm exclusively using GitHub) and make a privileged app from it.
If this service will be available at f-droid.org, it would be way easier!

I use this project to add and remove apps from LOS (and /e/OS) builds): https://github.com/sfX-android/android_vendor_extendrom. I have found it really useful and, once you've got your head round how it works, it's easy to use to add or remove apps (including `priv-apps`) to / from custom ROM builds.

It handles the download of the apps from wherever they are based (F-Droid, GitHub, GitLab, other web sites) and creation of the necessary makefiles.
- the list of available packages/apps is in the file `repo/packages.txt`
- the downloads and makefile creation is done in the file `get_prebuilts.sh`
- the needed environment variables are described in the `README.md`. (I export them, make the necessary change to `/vendor/lineage/config/common.mk`, and call `get_prebuilts.sh` in an init script, rather than in a device-specific `vendorsetup.sh` or makefile)

The following lines in`repo/packages.txt` have all the needed information for Aurora Services

# Aurora Services
# Allow Aurora Store to install updates automatically
AuroraServices_v1.1.1.apk|https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraServices/uploads/c22e95975571e9db143567690777a56e/|priv-app|AuroraServices.apk;PRESIGNED|false||permissions_com.aurora.services.xml

The following is what is written to the generated `Android.mk` for Aurora services

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := AuroraServices
LOCAL_MODULE_OWNER := extendrom
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := prebuilt/AuroraServices_v1.1.1.apk
LOCAL_CERTIFICATE := $(DEFAULT_SYSTEM_DEV_CERTIFICATE)
LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := optional
LOCAL_MODULE_CLASS := APPS
LOCAL_DEX_PREOPT := false
LOCAL_MODULE_SUFFIX := .apk
LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE := true
LOCAL_REQUIRED_MODULES := permissions_com.aurora.services.xml
include $(BUILD_PREBUILT)

And the project owner, is really helpful, and happy to accept changes to add new target packages

Dear Berni,

I tried your build, but encryption is not working. I got the following error message during encryption:
init : Control message: Could not find '[email protected]::ICryptfsHw/default' for ctl.interface_start from pid: 386 (/system/bin/hwservicemanager)

I know, you mentioned it, but also with your 18.1 build, encryption is working.

I tried also to encrypt with 18.1 and then flash 19.1, but after the password, it will stuck and logcat is not working, yet...

 

[Berni-0815]

That's new to me that encryption is working in one of my ROMs...
Encryption is intentionally marked as "NOT WORKING"!

 

[DaZZZl1]

right, but with 18.1 it is working ... it works also with the /e/ 18.1 version, I have not tried the 17.1

encryption is important for me, since I have some sensitive data (passwords, etc.) on my phone.

Any chance to fix it in 19.1? Thanks!

 

[1ggn3]

Wait, encryption worked on 18.1? I tried it once, it messed up all my data and I had to factory reset

 

[DaZZZl1]

I have two z5c, one with the latest official /e/ 18.1 and one now with latest Berni's 18.1. Encryption works fine, but I have not make any throughput benchmarks... the /e/ is my daily phone, and I used it since march without any problems with encryption...

I encrypt the data partiition directly after a clean install and then restore the data from backup

 

[Berni-0815]

Any chance to fix it in 19.1?

No; I'm sorry.

 

[Berni-0815]

I got the following error message during encryption:
init : Control message: Could not find '[email protected]::ICryptfsHw/default' for ctl.interface_start from pid: 386 (/system/bin/hwservicemanager)

Addition: As you can see in this snippet from the file manifest.xml, cryptfs is present! Why it can't be found is unknown.

And here you can download my test-version with microG and AuroraServices,

And here you can download my test-version with microG and AuroraServices,

Downloaded, installed and working very nicely. Thanks very much Bernhard
