[ROM][Z3TC] LineageOS 18.1 SGP621 [UNOFFICIAL]

[trekker99]

GPS isn't working for me. I don't get any satellite fix at all. This issue isn't present for lineage os 15.1 though.

GPS is working for me. Just tested with new SGP621 release.

Thank you so much for this ROM.
Just needed my very old tablet to have functioning Netflix and some games for the kid in the car.
I tried multiple versions of the roms around here, but this one was the most recent and I'm sure I'll use it for years.

hi guys,

i have freshly installed this rom on my Xperia tablet. However, I am unable to get both gapps and magisk working.

I can either get magisk or get gapps but not both. If I install both, then the tablet is stuck on boot logo.

Has anyone figured out how to get both of them working together?

Hi I installed it with orange recovery. before I was on this rom but an older version.
After installation und reboot, I only get an black screen and nothing happens any more.

If I press power butten it vibrates on time and nothing habben. Volume und Power nothing happend :-(

If I put it on PC also nothing happened

Hi @evil-god

I am trying to make a build of LineageOS for microG using your sources, but I'm seeing the following build error, so I think I have something missing from my manifest (attached)

`FAILED: ninja: 'out/target/product/z3tc/utilities/keycheck', needed by 'out/target/product/z3tc/ramdisk/init.real', missing and no known rule to make it`

I would be grateful for any hints. Thanks

hi, i add to the missing parts to your local_manifest.

@tommes_d @vit15 Can you tell me how battery life is compared to stock ROM, and if X265 is working natively? THanks!

Update to June Patch. Everything is fine, only the FM radio ... you understand

Battery life is about as good as it gets for a 2014 device.
Native codec support is CPU dependent, but I could be wrong.

It is depended yes, but accordingly to Snapdragon website it's supported, just not with stock ROM I'm afraid. If you don't mind, you don't think you have any way to test it do you?

hi, i add to the missing parts to your local_manifest.

Thanks very much - that worked.

Now I'm building for z3tcw, and the build is failing because of missing defconfig

`FAILED: ninja: 'kernel/sony/msm8974/arch/arm/configs/lineageos_shinano_z3tcw_defconfig', needed by 'out/target/product/z3tcw/obj/KERNEL_OBJ/.config', missing and no known rule to make it`

I know nothing about kernel configs Can I just copy `lineageos_shinano_z3tc_defconfig` to `lineageos_shinano_z3tcw_defconfig`, or do I need to make changes?

 

[Tek1986]

Good morning everyone. How do I install recovery? a tutorial?

sorry, please remind me later this day, i will sync the config to gitlab.

edit: @petefoth synced

Thanks, I'll try today or tomorrow. I unlock the bootloader I do it with king root, is it ok or should I use another method?

 

[tommes_d]

Kingroot only works with Android until 4.4, you are on MM. Use ADB or flashtool. For unlocking bootloader search Z3TC-section, these are absolutely basics and not part of this thread. You need unlock code from sony. Everything is described here - read.

I have recently made unofficial and custom builds of LineageOS for microg for these devices, using @evil-god's sources.

The builds are available in this AndroidFileHost directory

Note that these builds are untested at present, as I don't own one of these devices (yet )

More information at https://github.com/petefoth/unofficial-l4m-builds/blob/main/README.md

I don't want to hijack this thread, so feedback is welcome in this github discussion

Thanks to @evil-god for the sources, and the help with my manifest
