About LineageOS

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 13, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.​

​

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project, with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.​

​

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS GitHub organization.​

And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.​

You can also view the changelog for a full list of changes & features.​

Important Information

1. This ROM operates without ODM images, just follow the installation instructions.​

2. This ROM does not intended to support Google Camera, but you can try to play with some mods.​

About FDE and FBE​

Full-disk encryption (FDE) has been completely deprecated since Android 13, and now we use software implementation of File-based encryption (FBE).​

​

FDE and FBE methods are incompatible with each other. FBE cannot decrypt data encrypted with FDE and cannot encrypt existing files. That's why you need to perform factory reset/format data (not just "wipe data") before switching between ROM's with different encryption methods.​

​

To make it a bit clear:​

- FDE (e.g. stock, LineageOS-16/19) -> FBE (LineageOS-20) -> NOT POSSIBLE! Format data is required.​

- FBE -> FBE -> POSSIBLE! You can update/upgrade using "dirty" installation as before, in case if encryption methods are the same​

​

Moreover, to work with new encryption you need a recovery with appropriate support.​

You are an amazing person..

- There was a problem
Random Reboot in previous versions

- In addition to the problem of phone data not working, knowing that my network is
Orange Jordan
After months, the reason appeared to be an error in the DNS of the device. I do not know whether the problem was resolved or not.

I will try the version today and give you the result.

Thank you again

 

[danidarklord]

I didn't expect to have a13 on my phone! Thank you for your works. Will try this now.

 

[57op]

Hi Chippa_a, Thanks for a great ROM and supposting our old device.

2. This ROM does not intended to support Google Camera, but you can try to play with some mods.

This version of Google Cam work great with this ROM and if you don't use Gapps, you can install Google Cam Services and use it without Gapps.

Status: Beta

Good evening.
After a few days of use.

There are some points of the system:

- No light when charging

- There is a repetition of the process of unlocking the phone, "that is, after entering the password, the phone will be locked again, and you will enter the password again."

- The problem of phone data does not work, and this problem is from version 16 until now, without a solution.

Battery consumption is higher than the previous version

- There is a problem with the sound, "it suddenly disappears" and the sound cannot be returned until after restarting the phone.!

...
These are the most important points.

Been testing this for few days now. (With Gapps)

- I have no problem with light when charging.
- I can confirm there's a repetition when unlocking, but this only happen to me once.
- mobile data works for me.
- I can confirm sound suddenly disappear and restart fix it, this happened just once.

I also wanted to add.
- GPS works.
- USB OTG works.

So far I'm very satisfied with this. Feels smoother than a12 , also camera quality seems improved. Thank you for bringing this great works.

 

[TheHacker24680]

I had a problem with this rom
the phone does not charge , it makes the charging light turn on and the charging icon for 2 seconds then the light flashes once then it wont charge anymore

i install the rom without twrp, i used lineage 20 recovery

 

[XxAttackerxX]

Nice Rom for the Sony X so far.

The recorded Voice in Whatsapp is to low/quiet.
In Ventor/ect is the mixer_paths_tasha.xml
Which parameter do you have to change for a louder recording?

Thank you in advance for the help.

After 7 days as a daily companion, here is a summary of this ROM (lineage-20.0-20230308-UNOFFICIAL-suzu)
(Clean Install with TWRP 3.7.0_12-0-20230309-suzu and MindTheGapps-13.0.0-arm64-20221025_100653)

Pro:
-Google Cam (DMGC_7.3.020_ver.4.5) works perfect with HDR
-ROM runs smooth without lags or random reboots
-Better overview thanks to the higher resolution on the Display (everything is a little smaller as Android 11)
-WiFi stability (WPA2 5ghz) is better than Android 11 (last Official Build)
-GPS, Bluetooth, Simcard recognition/Phone Data (O2 Germany 4G), OTG, Fingerprint, Audio Speaker, Lights....everything works perfectly

Cons:
-Microphone in Apps like Whatsapp or Recorder is much too quiet (unusable) but when making normal calls everything is ok
-Power consumption too high, cell phone gets very warm and charges longer
-Screen retention effect (Fake burn in from the last Screen)

I like this ROM and I hope that these few bugs can still be fixed.
That's how long I'll be back on Android 11 for now.

How many time can phone in idle ?

 

[XxAttackerxX]

How many time can phone in idle ?

Over Night with Android 11 you have 4-5 Percent and with Android 13 from here you have 8-10 Percent Drop in Standby. (Wlan, Bluethooth, GPS is deactivated)

 

[Beryesa]

Is kernel 4.9 more stable than 4.14? Which is the latest I see on sony sw binaries https://developer.sony.com/file/download/software-binaries-for-aosp-android-10-0-kernel-4-14-loire/

 

[XxAttackerxX]

What is fixed or new in Version lineage-20.0-20230416-UNOFFICIAL-suzu ?
Changelog please. Thanks

 

[Superkenel]

Hi ! Thanks for this work.
I wonder if Lineage Os 20 ( Android 13 ) will run well on a 3GB RAM device.
It's actually my wifi device only for banking ap. On Lineage Os 18 and Gapps.
( I've seen a difference between android 11 nd 12 on my XA2 with iOdé Os - and also 3GB of RAM only )
Best regards.

 

[Jurn_Software]

@Chippa_a changelog for latest build please...

 

[docmorris90]

Thanks a lot for this ROM and the latest Update (22nd of May)!

I didn´t managed to install the ROM on my single-sim suzu using TWRP (tried 3.7.0._9-0 and _12-1). With LOS 18 recovery I succeded in the first try. Didn´t understood by now what is the problem.

Didnt found a bug in 3 days of use without Gapps. Fingerprint-sensor is working better than ever. Accu-drain is less than with LOS 18. LOS-Stock camera is fully sufficient for my needs.

Best regars.

 

[alfacrux]

Does the built-in updater (Settings -> System -> etc) list also the installed version offering to reinstall it?
