Please, which step have i to follow for install this rom?

Instructions here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/project-treble-for-xperia-x-compact.4096909/

Also good info here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-11-0-4-9-aosp-kugo-explosive-lobster.4214465/

I originally just flashed Explosive Lobster ROM, and from there, just flashed Corvus system, and vendor IMG, and worked fine. If you just follow instructions in first link, should work.

Is Family Link work on this LineageOS 16.0 build?
If yes - which gapps version and how it installed (reboot, wipes, etc)
Which *real* reasons to use this ROM instead stock?

Hi - Did you, or anybody, get a solution for the location problem?

I'd be very interested, since I am experiencing no-location data with several apps all having been working fine before LOS16 was flashed, but now failing completely on my Sony Xperia X compact.
Actually the only app still showing a "route" travelled is Strava, but strangely wobbling.
(And, indeed, I noticed the Satstat compass pointing to a pointless "North").

Does anybody here have problems with GPS on the latest build (!) of the ROM? I am talking GPS WITHOUT (!) activated Wifi.
Up until the build of May 10th, GPS worked perfectly fine. I always got GPS lock within like 30 seconds. But after (dirty) flashing the newest build of July 22th, I cannot seem to get my position through GPS only. It always takes around 10 minutes to lock my position, if it works at all. I am quite sure it has something to do with the latest build OR with dirty flashing it, as GPS worked well just 3 hours before I flashed the new build (I went running and had my running route recorded, which also does not work anymore now).
Of course my hardware could be faulty all of the sudden, but I doubt that, because SatStat shows that my phone is able to still find many satellites.
I recorded a log, which I will attach to this post. The log was recorded while trying to lock my GPS position with various apps (SatStat, Runtastic, Google Maps). While scanning through the log, the error "Sensors : sns_reg.c(289):invalid data len" struck the eye. As far as Google could tell me, SNS has something to do with the compass of the phone. That would fit, because Maps is complaining about a non-calibrated compass, too.

Of course, my dirty flash might be the cause of this problem. In the past I often dirty-flashed LOS updates on various phones and rarely encountered any issues, but might be that the LOS devs changed something up in the GPS files or something. If no-one here is able to help or reproduce my problem, I might try a clean flash in August.

I did a lot of reading on that matter, and according to the developers on GitHub (the developers of the Sony Open Developer project, iirc) the GPS problem lies in the code of the latest version of the X Compact kernel. And, as there won't be any updates on that kernel anymore, it is unsolvable, if nothing has changed till then (I read about it around a year ago). That's why in the end I switched back to STOCK, because the older Android versions use an earlier version of the kernel (as you also stated with your post).

Thank you for reacting, that really sound like final. Too bad. Stock won't work for some of my apps. So I'll have to switch phones.

yep, all that is sad. been using this phone for 5 years now. It's still a good piece of hardware. It's shame Sony did dump it. will need to buy another hardware simply to have up to date software that's not really considerate in any way.

 

[Spaceoid]

You could try Treble. There is a ROM to start with in the X Compact boards, and other Treble roms around the board. I tried two, but didnt find one with working GPS, maybe again bc of the underlying kernel...

Sony has for years said that phones will be supported for 2 years, (for example, https://www.gizmochina.com/2021/07/...-will-receive-software-updates-for-two-years/). Updates typically stop after that...

I have been using CorvusOS Android 11 treble rom, and gps working fine.

A couple of issues, but overall stable and usable so far...

Hi, I'm new to LineageOS and loved it immediately. Very neat and efficient.

I have a question though. After 5 years of using X Compact, now I mainly used it as a second phone, and also to run some apps that won't work on my new phone that is on Android 12 and rooted. WIth this LineageOS, I found that I don't need magisk and can simply install addonsu, which can be enable/disabled in developer option - perfect for me.

However, there is one app that just would not start even if root is disabled. It only works after I remove addonsu altogether. So now if I want to use this app, I have to flash addonsu-remove first, instead of simply disabling it.

Any advice or work-around in this situation?
