[ROM] LineageOS 16.0 UNOFFICIAL - 1.2 [2020-02-11]

[beggar23]

Good question. Initially I thought of a flashable zip, but while thinking about it once more, this would be hard to accomplish, probably.

I'll try to upload them tomorrow. just out of curiosity, how would you flash the files without having access to a PC? I know newflasher can be run on a phone, so with a second one it might be possible, but I've never tried this.

Thank you very much

Hum, just run newflasher as describe in first post, but firmware was not updated. Any advice ?

@derf elot what I'm saying ,I don't know if its too much to ask for, is if you can create a thread to post these firmwares files when new firmwares by Sony are released. If @derf elot can't always update it others who can also update it there

Think firmware was updated well. I dont know how to check this ? Was looking for build number in system preference, but that is not firmware version i think.

PS : LOS seems to work well, thank a lot for the hard work.

Press "Android version" in "About phone", see "Vendor security patch level" or "Baseband version".

Thanks for the rom modpunk, but i have some charge problems. It charges when the screen is off, but if i use the phone the battery does charge but at low mah (Tested ampere app). Battery dies when using.
i did not do firmware update, but in about phone it says lineage_lilac .....
Do i need to do firmware update or is it too late to do that? Because i flashed already lineage 16

Format SD as internal

Thanks a lot for the hard work!
I have just one problem. Normally there is an option to format a SD card as internal storage. This option is simply not available. There is just the option for a normal format.. Has this option been disabled for this build? (Using RC1).

Idk why AEX have nearly 60.000 points less than stock or LOS

That was a bug that recently got fixed. Now it gets around 210.000 points.

We looked into it but that would require a lot of kernel work to support it.

I have probably found a workaround.

The trick is completely wipe the sd card. To do this I used minitool partition magic, but any other format software should work.
Right click on sd, make "delete all partition" and "Apply" (These texts could be different). The partition tablet is MBR, I don't know if it's influent.
Put the sd in the phone and go to storage setting. The SD is now marked as "unsupported". Tap on it and tap on "Configure".
At this point you have to tap "Annul" (To be clear, you don't tap "Format sd card") and select "Use as extra memory" (no "portable memory"). Now you can easily follow the remaining steps.

This solution is not well tested but i can confirm that is possible to migrate app on SD and it's work even after a reboot.
There is probably a bug that show the sd half full but with double the capacity. (If sd is 64 gb it show full 64gb on 128gb).

Sorry for my english and keep in mind that all the texes may vary because my phone is not set in english.

Nice, could you please check if the SD is encrypted too when inserted in a (linux) computer?

I think so. Debiam mount only an 17mb partition and Gparted show "android_expand" as "unknown" file system.

firmware update or not

lineage rom rc1 works, but do i need to do a firmware update with xperifirm? Everything works, only charging have problem with screen on time. I have quickcharger 3.0 . It charges when screen off. It also charges when screen on but the battery drains.

Quick charge works here with firmware FW_G8441_Customized+DE_1310-4373_47.2.A.10.62_R3C.zip from this forum, just checked with usb multimeter, no difference if screen is on or off. Around 7.5 V at 1.5 A.

Does the standard phone app automatically erase all entries from the speed dial page once in a while? I am wondering why the page is always empty after a day or so. I haven't saved any favourites manually, but I remember that the last contacts that I called would be there. Call logs are saved in the call history, as usual. Is it just me or regular app behavior?

A bit of a random question, bear with me please. I have only ever had a Windows phone and I am stubbornly holding on to my Nokia Lumia, but it is really starting to struggle now with the lack of support. I don't want an iPhone, but I'm not a fan of the Big brother habits of Google, so I was looking for something with more privacy and my husband has an old Xperia XZ1 Compact I can use, so I ended up here. Assuming I have next to zero technical knowledge, what are my chances of installing this ROM without messing stuff up or even bricking the phone? I am happy to read and follow tutorials etc. but bear in mind I really know nothing and have never used Android, so I probably won't even be able to recognise if something has gone wrong. And even if I manage to install it correctly, what would be the long term implications - I guess I'd have to go through the same process for every update, e.g. LOS 16.01 or 17 or whichever else comes out in the future, thus having more chances to get things wrong? And I would have to check proactively if there is an update available, rather than the OS prompting me? Would it also be the same with updates for apps from F-Droid or ones where I've just downloaded the .apk file from a website? Would I be better off (i.e. safer) sticking with stock Android and trying to de-Google it as much as possible?

I'd really like to give LOS a go, I just don't want to brick the phone...

You are right, but thanks for pointing me to this, didn't knew it either yet. In the phone app open "Call history" from the menu, then touch "Statistics", then "Adjust time range" from the menu there again. A bit hard to find, but i think there you can adjust when Favorites forgets recent calls...

Huh, a hidden corner of Android that I never visited thanks mate! However, I don't think it will change the behavior of the favourite section, but only the call time statistics. I will check. :good:

Thanks a lot, it actually worked! Indeed, the reported capacity is wrong.
I just wonder why modpunk says it's unsupported but it works using this trick? @modpunk, do you plan to look into it again for "official" support?
