[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 18.1 for Xperia 5 [EOL]
- Thread starter Sjll
- Start date
Hello, is there any estimate on how long it'll be until you release the December or January Android security patch? Thanks. 
Well, it looks like that is it for security updates with this ROM... i have been using this version of LineageOS 18.1 on my Xperia 5 now for about 3 months and it is the most stable and best ROM I have ever used. i wish there was a way to update this myself or carry on this project (that i think has been abandoned). Anyways Thanks Sjll for this great ROM.
on the first post, click "Unnocicial Link:" and download this one "lineage-18.1-20211022-UNOFFICIAL-bahamut-Stock_CAM.zip"
I would absolutely love for an update to be released for this ROM... I would 100% donate like £20! 
Worked fine but now it's boot looping like crazy, seems to drain battery fast. not sure if that's because of rom or it's just old. What could be the issue? it has these rapid restarts with the lineage animation on boot, sometimes boots up enough time for you to input the pin but then restarts. Seems stable in safe mode.
Could it be some root hack from some app, it doesn't seem to be due to changing launchers, could it be due to some developer settings change, doesn't seem like that's the cause though as I did it before. It started happening just as I changed VPN settings, and when it booted again the micro sd card was corrupted/tap to fix, which was also a surprise initially with the phone as this sd card should not be broken at all, but the phone seems to corrupt it sometimes, works fine on other devices.
I also wonder whether or not the bootloader should be re-locked after installing a custom ROM as it says it can't check for corruption.
The tap to fix on the micro sd just keeps showing after format on the phone.

Hello @Sjll !
Thanks for providing this rom, with proper sources !
I am planning on building lineage based on your sources. Is this ok for you ?
Also, I noticed that the current Lineage sources you are using are based on a prebuilt kernel. Could you explain the reason why ?
Do you have kernel sources that you are currently building/using please ? (I am very bad with kernel stuffs)
Thanks for your work !

@Sjll Do you know what could be causing boot loops? It crashes / restarts before and during entering password on boot.
Edit: I did a reinstall once more, this time I use a different launcher/home app, currently no boot looping, also installed anti bootloop module for magisk, just in case.
