FAQ

What about device encryption?
Device encryption is working. You only have to keep in mind that you need a PC with adb to install systemupdates.
Flashing via recovery isn't working until now, because there isn't a recovery capable of decrypting Oreo /data partitions at the moment. But an easy "adb sideload" should do the job. Or installing from the external SD card.

What about reboot to recovery?
Reboot to recovery is only working with magisk installed. Investigating this...
Reboot to recovery is working as it should now (and of course also without magisk).

What about GPS?
GPS apps like GPS Status&Toolbox or SatStat don't get location fixes. Nevertheless navigating with Osmand or googleMaps should work. Positionfinding is also slow. Got better

I found a bug. What should I do?
We need your feedback for optimization. But your feedback is only useful in connection with logs --> see section Bugreports

What about root access?
Root isn't included per default (except root over adb, but it's off by default).
If you want to gain root access to your apps use one of these (depending on your taste/needs):

• Official Lineage Add-on https://download.lineageos.org/extras use su (arm) 15.1 here and flash via TWRP
• Magisk https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

Hi 115ek. Thanks for making this. I'm not new to flashing but I have a question nonetheless. What do you mean by

Encryption : Ok but needs recovery capable of Oreo decryption for installing updates (AFAIK such a recovery doesn't exist until now for our device...)

I'm actually having some trouble finding a up-to-date recovery.

You can use this https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528046823 or that https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/orig-development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-t3759450.

For Lineage 15.x flashing you need TWRP>=3.2.x If the version is older you'll end up in a error 7.

Concerning decryption: Google introduced some new encryption stuff and so the decryption of /data from inside TWRP is broken. Some guys are working on it (@nailyk).
Encrypting the device should work fine, but I don't know what happens if you want to update the encrypted device. (I'm going to test that ).
Basically you need to store the update package outside of encrypted partitions... Maybe adb sideload works - but it's circumstantial.

Edit:
That's only interesting if you plan to encrypt your device. Otherways you can relax.

Edit2:
adb sideload should do the job. But you need a PC for updating. Installing an image directly via recovery isn't possible until now.

 

[PureTryOut]

With sources for both kernel and system unlike the other port! Thanks, I'll definitely be using this!

 

[Cyberjin]

Xperia J1 Compact

could this work on an Xperia J1 Compact?
it's basically the same phone with the same specs right?

 

[ULT][MO]

The rom looks very stable and balance, but I've some problems with root procedure. I tried the lineage addon, the root seems active, but opening apps (es. Ad away) results unrooted, any ideas?

Update: Now Works. Flashed lastest Magisk

 

[vildevilde]

Amazing to see this old device on Oreo, just installed and it feels smooth and nice. Just a pity that I have broken the sim card connectors inside so I cant use it as a phone but I will fins use of it at home just for fun. Thank you for your work 115ek :good:

 

[munjeni]

Great to see this rom realy! This rom have stock camera?

What do you mean with stock camera?
There was a thing with kernel versions 3.4 and 3.10, wasn't it? We're using 3.4.
Concerning the camera: I'm not that expert, but it looks okay I would say.

Feel free to contribute: There's still the reboot-to-recovery problem and Pie is in the starting blocks.

my phone reboots to recovery.
Need to install Magisk
without it I also do not reboot to recovery

Thanks, but I already knew this
But I like to reboot to recovery without magisk. I think there are people around who don't like/need magisk (including me).
The fact that it works with magisk may locate the problem to the boot.img. I have init_sony in mind and will check that.
Any ideas welcome

I meant does this rom have stock camera blobs? Do you have property: ro.bootmode

and does /proc/cmdline shows diferent bootreason when you set reboot reason to recovery?

and does /proc/cmdline shows diferent bootreason when you set reboot reason to recovery?

Good news: an easy import of your init_board_device.h did the trick. Maybe a timing problem?
Anyway: reboot to recovery is now working correctly, even without magisk
Is that okay for you: http://gerrit.aicp-rom.com/c/AICP/device_sony_msm8974-common/+/73688 ?

 

[munjeni]

I just found this https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...neage-15.1/init/init_sony/init_board_device.h its just prototype so seems you have missed init_sony/init_board_device.h in your device tree...

 

[115ek]

I meant does this rom have stock camera blobs?

We're using them https://github.com/AICP/proprietary_vendor_sony/tree/o8.1/rhine-common/proprietary/vendor, so I guess yes.
You're more into topic, aren't you? How to distinguish between AOSP and stock blobs? There were some mysteries around DRM, camera quality and so on. I remember a separate thread you also participated in...
But I'm not really into this topic.

No, it's actually in here: https://github.com/AICP/device_sony_msm8974-common/blob/o8.1/include/init_sony/init_board_device.h
But It's different from yours. Yours performs another keycheck.

 

[munjeni]

Seems rom have stock blobs. To distinguish between AOSP and stock blobs... depends on kernel you have using, aosp kernel can't be used with stock blobs since aosp camera kernel module is diferent, but I'm out of development for long, have no free time and to be honest I still didn't forgot treatment & injustice for my status on xda, that made me more inactive here. Recognised members have bad treatment here, seems senior members have much more priority than recognised members, and thats reason why everybody here need to care how many hours per day to waste here. I decided to stop wasting my time on xda since xda leaders do not respect anybody's hard work here. I recommend the same to everyone here.

 

[ULT][MO]

I tried "reboot to recovery", after Sony logo the phone reboot again (also if you press recovery button), and to enter in recovery you've to push again the button at the second reboot.
It is like a normal reboot... But it's not a problem ?

What recovery are you using? I recommend this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/orig-development/lineageos-12-1-z1c-current-sec-patches-t3614936.
With mine from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/orig-development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-t3759450 it still won't work. Maybe a timing thing.
But it's okay if we have at least one working TWRP.
And oreo /data decryption is still an issue we have to address.
