Please use TWRP 3.0.2-1 PLEASE be at bootloader 3.48.0.0141 and have flashed the latest NMF26F vendor image (linked under downloads)!
You may not need to wipe between versions, if issues please wipe data and both caches (in TWRP got to Wipe --> "Swipe to Factory Reset")
Downloads
Before flashing scroll down and read NOTES!

3.50.0.0143 bootloader and N9F27C (N4F27E for LTE model) vendor.img - NOTE there are not 7.1.2 vendor images (Nexus 9 is not officially supported in 7.1.2) so I am pulling the latest 7.1.1 ones from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

NEED fastboot
In fastboot:
WIFI/LTE (be sure you've got the right files!):
Bootloader:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-flounder-3.50.0.0143.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Vendor image:
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
OR
Flash vendor.img using new feature in TWRP 3.0.0 (tested using 3.0.2-1) - in recovery's "Install" menu hit the "Install Image" button...
Then ROM
Open GApps (closer to STOCK - choose ARM64 for Platform, 7.1 for Android I pick Stock for Variant
http://opengapps.org/
Direct link:
http://opengapps.org/?download=true&arch=arm64&api=7.1&variant=stock
NOTE takes a WHILE (5-10 minutes) to boot up on first boot! ART is optimizing applications and it is set to EVERYTHING as we have sufficient system partition storage - for SPEED. There is no more dalvik-vm (no REALLY now - not even included in AOSP now)!
If you like it hit thanks! Donations are appreciated but never expected
I do this for a hobby and to keep my tablet running like new
Coming soon:
?
NOTES:
ALWAYS flash GApps even if updating from a prior AOSP 5.1.x/6.0/7.x release! ALL ROMs format the /system partition as part of the installation process and this is where the:silly: GApps are kept!
BACKUP using TWRP and/or Titanium - save those files off the device to a USB stick external HDD or whatnot! Not responsible for lost data!
WIPE Data in recovery
Be sure you are at bootloader 3.48.0.0141 and have flashed latest vendor image (steps in this post)
ONLY TESTED USING TWRP 3.0.2-1
MUST FLASH a GApps zip after the ROM for Play Store, etc.
If you like it consider donating! A nice big solid state hard drive will let me build faster and for more devices! (YAY my build box now has 411GB free even after all this developing - thanks to all who donated)

GApps doesn't seem to stick? SuperSU doesn't seem to flash right either! Still tweaking things but this is a very early build
Congratulations!!
Absolutely awesome my friend!! You are the first dev to get an N9 Nougat ROM up and running!!!

Thanks - wish I had it working better!
IDEA - (still screwing around with builds or I'd try right now) - flash my ROM, Flash ElementalX kernel (N9-5.02 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/orig-development/kernel-elementalx-n9-0-02-alpha-t2931657) - then see if GApps/SuperSU work...
Will try ASAP and get back
EDIT - OK well - no SuperSU but flashing the ElementalX kernel DOES allow the GApps to install (and show up - without the kernel it appears to work but I see nothing when I boot)... Flash kernel, GApps - then got to Settings --> Apps --> Google Play services and click permissions then allow everything allow Location (that's all that is needed to fix)!
Ok, so I goofed...I thought I was on TWRP 3.0.2-1, but I was on 3.0.2-0 I flashed everything, and it boots, however I can't get past the "Google Play services keeps stopping" popup. Every time I try to close it, I'm pushed back to the wifi selection screen, and I can't get to the home screen. I tried going back into TWRP, and TWRP goes into a sort of bootloop where the splash screen will show, but it keeps rebooting to it :/ Any help would be much appreciated! Thx in advance

Sounds like you did update the bootloader and vendor partition! In TWRP before 3.0.2-1 the new vendor partition is encrypted and TWRP has no idea how to decrypt it...
RE: the play services crashing (I did add this later to OP) - go to Settings --> Apps --> Google Play services and click permissions then allow Location

Well, I successfully flashed the correct TWRP! The only problem is that the Google Play services error is still persisting I can't go into settings to allow location, because I can't get past the Checking Info screen. It keeps bumping me back to the wifi select screen. Argh Let me make sure I'm on the correct bootloader. I did flash the .img file via TWRP using the boot partition...I wonder if it took?
My bootloader version says
HBOOT-3.48.0.0135
Looks like it is indeed the wrong one. I'll have to figure out how to correctly flash it via TWRP.

I see - I flashed the PICO Opengapps (which bypasses setup I'm thinking is why the difference) - maybe try that next?

Will try! Thx for all of your help. It's much appreciated
Well, I restored RR so I could download the Pico Gapps, which worked fine once I flashed the Marshmallow vendor image again. Now TWRP isn't working again. The TWRP splash screen flashed several times before booting into TWRP, and now it's doing that thing where it asks you to enter a password, meaning data is encrypted and it won't recognize any of my files...so now I can't even flash the Nougat files again. Argh Perhaps I need to flash the Nougat vendor image via adb, however TWRP 3.0.2-1 should work on Marshmallow as well, right? Sorry to be such a pain.
EDIT
I finally got it to work! I ended up flashing the previous version of TWRP via Flashify, and it worked without encryption. I went ahead and flashed all files and still kept getting the Google Play services popup, however, this time I was able to get to the home screen and enable all permissions in settings. It worked like a charm What's interesting is that I'm also still on the MM bootloader.

You aren't being a pain - even though it gets lost A LOT the spirit of this community is to just try stuff - even WIPs - and report back experience
For me I realized very quickly something was wrong with TWRP 3.0.2 after doing:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-flounder-3.48.0.0139.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
So I pretty much checked the TWRP flounder forum here and realized I needed to wait for them to build off Nougat source (aka 3.0.2-1).
Keep me posted and I will try to get more updates going
EDIT - I always keep my tab decrypted - which means when I'm screwing around it invariably gets re-encrypted and I have to wipe it
Anyone using GApps that include the setup wizard (stock for example - ironically the one I direct linked to in OP LOL) - you WILL see FCs until you can get out of that wizard and grant location permissions to Google Play services - to to get off that wizard screen (thanks to @replica102 in N6 forum):
Just tap on the four corners of the screen, starting from top left, clockwise. Do it right, and you'll get sent to home screen
Or use Pico/Nano and grab only the GApps you want
I'm happy to report that the ROM is VERY smooth! Thanks for all your hard work!

As far as that goes, I just always head to twrp before first boot, and flash fed patcher v8. Never have to worry about it re-encrypting it
SuperSU?
I noticed that SuperSU got crossed out after I got started. Does that mean it isn't rooted yet? I have tried the latest beta but still no good. Any idea's?

I tried flashing the latest beta and went into a bootloop. I tried fixing contexts, but still no dice. I just wiped and reflashed the ElementalX kernel. I still wish I could get root to work, too!

ZIP Package
I uploaded the flashable zip but you can only use it if you upgrade from the first version. if its your first flash use the Images Report back please !!
O-oh, nice! What a treat to try on my tablet
So, a couple of questions prior to installation
1) Right now I have an Android 5.1.1 stock pre-rooted firmware. If I install this - does it overwrite the recovery in the process or does it only touch the system and the kernel partitions? I wouldn't want to lose my XZDualRecovery setup with TWRP
2) by Video not working - do you mean the recording or playing a video? I.E. does it affect apps like Twitch and YouTube video playback?

1) first you need to unlock your boot loader but anyway you will lose xz dual recovery. Recovery will be overwritten and a complete New kernel is needed ( Linux kernel 3.1). The boot.img from aosp build includes this.
2) Sorry i mean video playback, but if you play Videos with MX player or vlc it will work correct if not you will have confuesed colours
Video recording will not work due the camera.
Hmm, okay. So I should be able to get TWRP back via NUT's kernel builder on his website
Another question - you said that optionally I can use the boot.img you linked in the Optional section (instead of the one that comes with the ROM) - does that mean that the ROM-included boot.img does not allow the device to be rooted? (due to SELinux, I suppose)

This could be possible that it work with his kernel builder i haven't test it
Edit: Kernel build with nuts builder is successfull but you won't have recovery. I tested it
Don't use the optinal boot.img. your device will not Boot.The first image is an old Boot.img Form kit kat which has recovery included. First flash the first image than Boot to recovery than flash Boot.img from rom again
No the kernel supports root but the Problem is that you don't have a recovery. You need it to flash super su.
hey @rcstar6696, Installed the ROM just a few moments ago. Enjoying it so far! Some feedback:
1) The installation went through very smoothly, like I have a Nexus device
The "Flash ROM -> flash KK kernel -> Flash SuperuSU -> Flash MM kernel" went okay as well, no issues, just a little extra step to gain root until we have XZDR for Android 6.0
2) The ROM booted up SUPER FAST for the first time. Sony's firmware usually takes at least 2-3 minutes to boot up fully from a shutdown state, while this ROM booted up in less than like 30 seconds. Very refreshing to see such short booting times!
3) The backup restoration process seemed to not have gone through fully. Only about half of the apps I had were restored. Not really much of an issue, just a personal observation
Also after confirming what apps I wanted to restore, the setup wizard stayed at the "Please wait..." screen, so I had to manually quit to the homescreen via the Home button. Seems like a bug to me? Or maybe it's the built-in GAPPS that's the issue (haven't tried flashing a GAPS package manually though)
4) The system seems to not recognize my SIM-card for some reason. It just tells me "No SIM card installed", which is weird considering that the ROM is for the LTE version. Tried turning on and off the Airplane mode to reset the modem - no result. Tried rebooting the device - also n result.
Maybe try to look at Sony's official binaries for Tab Z2? http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/tool/software-binaries-for-aosp-m-android-6-0/
5) Like you said, the video playback is all green/purple artifacted. Wonder if it's the drivers/libraries issue, as I have a Marshmallow based ROM on my Nexus 4 and it doesn't seem to have such issues. Too bad, but hopefully this can be fixed in the future builds! (as I often watch YouTube videos). Any app that uses it's own internal player seems to work fine, though, such as Twitch
6) The multiwindow... kinda works. If you have two apps side by side - seems to function well. Anything beyond that - turns the screen into a mess. Dunno if it's because of the ROM itself or because of the feature, but at least it's kinda available here. Besides, can't really complain about an unfinished feature
Also, the Play Store app looks pretty awful using the Multiwindow, maybe it's not adapted accordingly by Google
7) The sound in this ROM is SUPER LOUD. It's nowhere near this level of volume on the stock ROM. I dunno if the audio balancing is wrong here or if it's supposed to be this way, but it's definitely at least twice as loud as official Sony's 5.1.1 firmware
8) Merging the SD card with the internal storage of the tablet went fine, and I seemed to have no issues transferring the data
9) Minor things:
- The "About this tablet" screen still says "Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet WiFi" despite flashing the ROM on the LTE version
- The text in Bluetooth screen when it's off seems to be aligned to the left, looks weird
10) The SuperSU works fine, apps have no issues requesting permissions nor does SuperSU have any issues granting said permissions to the apps on its own
And I that's it. If anything else surfaces - I'll let you know
Thanks for continuing to build 6.0 AOSP roms for castor_windy ! My computer died so I can't compile anymore atm, I'm glad someone else is doing it !

hey @rcstar6696, Installed the ROM just a few moments ago. Enjoying it so far! Some feedback:
1) The installation went through very smoothly, like I have a Nexus device
The "Flash ROM -> flash KK kernel -> Flash SuperuSU -> Flash MM kernel" went okay as well, no issues, just a little extra step to gain root until we have XZDR for Android 6.0
2) The ROM booted up SUPER FAST for the first time. Sony's firmware usually takes at least 2-3 minutes to boot up fully from a shutdown state, while this ROM booted up in less than like 30 seconds. Very refreshing to see such short booting times!
3) The backup restoration process seemed to not have gone through fully. Only about half of the apps I had were restored. Not really much of an issue, just a personal observation
Also after confirming what apps I wanted to restore, the setup wizard stayed at the "Please wait..." screen, so I had to manually quit to the homescreen via the Home button. Seems like a bug to me? Or maybe it's the built-in GAPPS that's the issue (haven't tried flashing a GAPS package manually though)
4) The system seems to not recognize my SIM-card for some reason. It just tells me "No SIM card installed", which is weird considering that the ROM is for the LTE version. Tried turning on and off the Airplane mode to reset the modem - no result. Tried rebooting the device - also n result.

Excellent, pulling now, will report anything interesting found. Is there anything in particular you want battle tested?
NOTE: Mega is pretty slow atm, so it may take awhile..160k over vpn on a 350Mb connection. AFH for future updates maybe? 2hr download to get the 1.2gb file. If not maybe consider zipping up the sparse image files to cut the upload/download times.
Do you think this can work on a z3 tablet? according to gsmarena they have kind of the same specs: same resolution, same cpu (MSM8974AB), 3gb ram, even the cameras (8.1 and 2.2mpx)

i fixed the lightsensor now he is working
i think i will make a flashable zip for it
Lightsensor fix
Link to flashable zip https://mega.nz/#!LdBzHaQC!uiZIrU-eoI3Lriczk_em2vCXNNZVQ-tX17kcw5F7LWQ
This package includes older sensor moduls and some files but this will fix light sensor
Next build will include the patch but for now use the fix.
Installation is like super su or root
Flash old kernel
Reboot to recovery
Flash lightsensor fix.zip
Reboot to bootloader
Flash M-Kernel ( boot.im)
Reboot and enjoy
Have you noticed the battery drain during deep sleep ? It's called Miscellaneous in the battery stats, I wonder what it could be ?

BETA RELEASE
This release is a beta release. It works very well and can be used as a daily driver. Please check the lists about what works or not below and check what needs testing and feedback.
FEATURES
Signed with dev keys
FDroid preinstalled
FDroid Privilege Extension
Bugs included
DOWNLOAD
You can download the latest release here. Check the ChangeLog below for firmware requirements!
INSTALLATION
Put the zip file of the ROM on you sdcard or internal store and boot into recovery. If you use my TWRP recovery, you should use that one to flash the ROM.
Make sure you select Zip signature verification.
This will make sure the zip file has not been altered!

IMS support is missing (we are working on it, but it isn't trivial)
HARDWARE
Phone doesn't work well with Mifare NFC tokens
IMS does not fully work for some carriers yet

XDA:DevDB Information
lineageos_sony_lilac, ROM for the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact
Contributors
modpunk, derf elot
Source Code: https://github.com/cryptomilk/android_device_sony_lilac
ROM OS Version: 8.x Oreo
ROM Kernel: Linux 4.x
ROM Firmware Required: TWRP Recovery
Based On: LineageOS
Version Information
Status: Beta
Current Beta Version: 8
Beta Release Date: 2018-10-22
Created 2018-02-05
Last Updated 2018-10-22
UPGRADE FIRMWARE
Grab the Sony Stock firmware using e.g. XPeriFrim. You should always flash the firmware matching the LOS build.
Grab newflasher and put it in the same folder as the firmware files.
Read the newflasher original post on XDA for general instructions!
Remove the follwing from the folder so they won't get flashed:
all *.ta files (keep the one in the boot/ directory)
cache*.sin
fotakernel*.sin
kernel*.sin
system*.sin
userdata*.sin
vendor*.sin
Turn off your phone
Hold the volume down button and attach it via USB to your system till you see LED turning green
Run newflasher from within this directory to flash the remaining files
You can say yes to the first optional step, in case you dont have working drivers installed.
Skip the second optional step (dumping of trim area), it's useless if your bootloader is unlocked already and takes a long time.
Google Apps
You can download and install the Google Apps from opengapps.org. You need ARM64 and 8.x. I suggest to *always* use the pico package. If you need additional apps you find them in the Play Store.
Privacy Guard for GApps
I wouldn't run GApps without Privcy Guard. Here is what you need to do:
Go to: Settings -> Security & location -> Privacy Guard
Open the advanced menu (3 dots) and select: Enable by default and Show built-in apps.
Search for Google Play Services and turn it on by tapping the entry. A long press will give additional options. There are more Google Apps you should turn it on and revoke permissions like the syncing stuff.
FDroid
This ROM comes with FDroid and the Privilege Extension pre-installed.
MicroG
Doesn't provide API level 27 builds yet ... will probably available in future with signature spoofing.
Simple Mobile Tools
This is a collection of really awesome Open Source and AD-free Apps! Don't get confused by the name! Especially the Calendar and Gallery app are really good! If you like his stuff, support him by buying the Simple Thanks app.
You can find them in FDroid and the Play Store.
Known Issues
Some apps don't work (Gardenscapes, Die Zeit, ...)
When an app is installed then it should ask for Permissions on the first startup. However for some apps this doesn't happen. To fix it you need to go to Settings -> Apps & Notifications -> See all apps -> Select the App -> Permissions. Now manually activate the required permission, normally the Storage Permission is missing in that case!

The big bang!
Thank you so much for all your hard work in getting this to the forums.
This includes DRM fix presumably?
Thank you so much man. I heard you mention micro g on the other thread. Do you know if I'll work with LineageOS 15.1? I really don't want to use GApps.

I will provide a ROM with MicroG, but not on the first release. MicroG needs to compile their stuff with API level 27 first ...
I think it would be preferrable to not ship any version of GApps with the ROM. This way, everyone can install what they want.
Thank you! Downloading.
Followed instructions with full wipe, using your latest TWRP, bootloop, boots into recovery.

Awesome work mate!
just tried flashing twrp to my phone (single sim) running aosp 11, and it couldnt get past the splash screen.
also tried fastboot booting the image,and it just hangs on the sony logo.
it could be the kernel im using, ill try a complete wipe and reinstall of this rom and twrp tonight.
EDIT: flashing stock rom to start fixed it. everything works as it should now.
Gcam desteği?
The twrp-3.5.0-0-20210117-maple isn't working well on G8141 model with this ROM. I've using twrp 3.2.1 and I can say that it is more stable. I've seen that after the flashing I cannot reach the TWRP after reboot and I need to reinstalling the TWRP again. With others ROM's the issue not exist.

Thank you for your feedback, but the situation is the same with TWRP. I've used fastboot -w. nothing changed. Then I format data from the new TWRP 3.5 and after reboot I can't go to TWRP again. Some other ideas what I can try? Regards

Start from stock ROM. Use xperifirm to download the latest stock Rom and use newflasher to flash it. Then flash twrp, lineage and magisk.
Thats how I did it.
Thanks for your hard work on this. Flashed this, working great, love having 2 day battery life. With NO gapps. It’s all about privacy
Hopefully you are still working on is
First of all: Many thanks for spending all the effort to create this ROM for the old Sony XZ Premium!!!
So far I was using Bliss ROM but the new Android security issues made me to wake up and look for something fresher ;-)
I do have a G8141 (German) device. Flashing worked quite well and the system was booting up quickly. (ROM+TWRP 3.5+openGApps nano+Magist 21.4)
So far I detected just one issue yet which I would like to report:
WLAN and mobile connection not stable. I required me 4 reboot attempts to get a more stable connection. WLAN was constantly dropping out and only a reboot at the end made the device to reconnect. Same for cellular connection. After around 4 reboots I have a stable connection now.
I will monitor the behaviour and hopefully it will become stable after all Google Apps are installed etc..
I will let you know.

First of all: Many thanks for spending all the effort to create this ROM for the old Sony XZ Premium!!!
So far I was using Bliss ROM but the new Android security issues made me to wake up and look for something fresher ;-)

Finally I am giving up. I am not able to get a stable WLAN or cellular connection. After installing it again and again (format data twice, factory reset etc., starting all over with latest stock FW) am not getting it working properly. After 1-2 hours, WLAN is not able to connect anymore and cellular is detected incl. carrier but dropping off and data connection not possible to establish.
Really strange was the latest/ last Sony FW everything works. With other ROMS I am running into similar problems. Sometimes cellular is not detected, but WLAN works and sometimes both are not working. Last fully working alternative ROM was Bliss from late September 2020. After reading that several of you are successfully using this ROM I start to believe that this is perhaps a problem with my device made for the German market...
Is there an option to hide the "hide keyboard" button at the bottom while typing? I've already used full gesture but it still shows a bar with hide keyboard button at the bottom while typing.
Thanks OP for bringing LOS18 to maple!!
The best Android 11 ROM. Using it for over a week and everything works. Battery life is two days with regular use.
Weird, after installation and enter the SIM pin and connect to the Wi-Fi network, it take me charge directly from the carrier network for data. Sould be better what connection I will choose during the first installation as primary (Wi-Fi or mobile ) and not connecting by default directly to the mobile internet. With others Android 11 ROMs this issue not exits. Some thoughts?

RELEASE
This is an alternative ROM for the Sony Xperia XZ Premium, offering several privacy features.
Please report any issues you observe apart from the ones listed below. Logs are needed for me to fix anything (preferably dmesg and logcat). I can't test NFC very thoroughly, to please report your findings.
FEATURES
Signed with dev keys
Up-to-date kernel
WireGuard kernel support
Real vendor partition
FBE instead of FDE encryption
DOWNLOAD
You can download the latest releases and TWRP here:
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=333825
Check the ChangeLog below for firmware requirements!
INSTALLATION
This build uses a real vendor partition in place for the (now) useless oem partition. You will therefore need the modified TWRP with vendor/FBE support linked above.
Before first install: flash and boot into TWRP, format data, reboot to recovery and wipe all internal partitions.
After above step / any subsequent dirty flashes: Boot into recovery, put the ROM, GApps and root (if needed) on sdcard and flash.
Note: There is not going to be a LOS su addon anymore. If you need root, flash a root manager of your choice. No guaranteed support from LOS for this.
When updating from previous builds, simply dirty flash the ROM, together with any GApps and/or other modifications - addon.d will not work due to currently unavailable TWRP decryption.
Recommended GApps: MindTheGapps-12.1.0
KNOWN ISSUES
Stock camera is not working anymore due to incompatibility of stock library (libimageprocessorjni.so) with new libgui
You tell me...

Thanks for your work. And can the kernel support f2fs filesystem？ Does the camera work if i use another gpu driver？

f2fs is enabled in the kernel ( https://github.com/whatawurst/andro...8998-yoshino-maple_dsds_defconfig#L4632-L4636 ), but that doesn't mean you can use it as is. You would have to adjust the fstab's. No that I would recommend it, seeing as f2fs hasn't really received a lot of updates/(security) fixes for 4.4 kernels in recent times.
And no, you cannot update the gpu drivers. The Sony stock camera blobs are quite dependent on a specific tag.

is signature spoofing (for microg) enabled?
and as i already have installed the ArrowOS build of avl.callista which is based on your work: flash Stock ROM and then install your twrp+rom? or is stock rom step not necessary and it's enough to flash twrp+rom?

no, spoofing is not enabled. I have made builds for 19 before with spoofing enabled, so it works. but rebuilding with spoofing enabled takes a while every time, since it includes changes in fw/b and that's a hefty compile.
as for flashing over another rom: it may or may not work. upgrading from los 18 should work by flashing rom together with 12.1 microg, but no idea about migrating from one rom to another.

hi,
thx for your answer. i was just curious, as the arrowos build is based on your work and has signature spoofing enabled. But if, as you write, that's a lot of work then ... no problem. the arrowos version is stable
And, without signature spoofing, the part with "howto best migrate from rom A to rom B" is obsolete Self-building doesn't seem to be an option, as the hardware requirements seem a bit ... ambitious
Thanks for the great ROM.
I did a few tests today and I couldn't find anything broken.
The only issue I have found so far is when I take a picture or video with Open Camera and try to open it for preview inside the app. It does not work.
Thanks for your working on the ROM.
I found that LOS installed on my G8142 seems to have screen always on when charging, both on 18.1 and 19.1 (which is this one). How to turn it off?
Very nice, THANK YOU for great rom, i am testing it rn, so far so good.
To save someone a troubles i encountered:
I am comming from rooted stock .107, please all do flash correct TWRP!!! , i was slopy but have experience in flashing so i just dirtyflashed it on old TWRP, phone hanged prior to accessing twrp, could not hardreset or annything haha and i had to pull my battery so please just in case FLASH CORRECT TWRP
I like it alot, am switching to daily

Great, yes it needs the twrp I uploaded because of vendor partition and change from fde to fbe.
But just for reference, pulling the battery should not be necessary if it gets stuck. it should be enough to press and hold vol up (or down, I forget because I haven't needed it in a while) + power. it'll vibrate once, but keep holding it until it vibrates twice in quick succession. that should power it off. you can then enter fastboot to flash twrp or flash mode to flash stock.

I agree, but i have faulty vol+ key so i was having a hard part sadlly.
Can i ask you something i see this problem 1+ years on all Lineage roms and i am not a developer:
SETTINGS / DISPLAY / LIVE DISPLAY / COLOR PROFILE / VIVID
If i choose this profile i get like 8 bit colors after a while of use, but realy like this profile... i adjusted it manualy now its good looking and stable but wondering if it is XZ P specific or all lineage
short message: my SIM card isn't working with this ROM.
long message: today i installed this ROM. I first flashed stock ROM, booted into it once, and then flashed this ROM. But, as with the ArrowOS ROM, my SIM card isn't working.
More Details: after fresh install of this ROM and during boot i enter the SIM PIN (so that works), but after boot it says: "service not available" (Dienst nicht verfügbar). I'm unable to get it working.
Provider: congstar (telekom daughter). The SIM worked with stock ROM, and it works in an older Samsung S5. Just for curiosity i flashed stock ROM again and
Yeah, i know, no warranty, but... someone had such a problem before?
thx
geee... getting crazy here... after the next (test) flash of this ROM the SIM suddenly works, as well as phone calls, SMS, ...
what's the difference to the first flash? after latest stock ROM flash i left the SIM inside, and the stock ROM (or the telekom software) did some settings, rebooted, and then i started the last flash. Is there something magic that is happening here?
if i had more hair all of it would be bright gray...
OK, after almost a week... no SIM card problems anymore. ROM is running stable.
Just some apps that somehow rely on Google Play Services (or microg maybe) don't run: apps that warn regarding severe weather conditions or catastrophes, like 'DWD Warnwetter', 'NINA KatWarn' etc.. Push notifications...
ROM is stable, and i finally managed the signature spoofing + microg stuff. Thx to @Yokurt815 and his little list in the XZ1C thread - going step by step, writing it all down, finally succeeded.
Am i right that the magisk/lygisk stuff has to be done again after flashing an possibly upcoming ROM update?
Big thanks to @derf elot for this rom
A couple of things though . . .
Anyone got this setting to turn on?
All languages set to English AU
Mind the gapps 12.1 installed
Google set to default assistant
Also, trying to search in settings causes a crash.

CHANGELOG
2023-05-10 | 1.2 | 47.2.A.10.107
Updated to T QPR2 release (LineageOS upstream)
Updated to May 2023 Security updates (both ROM and kernel)
Our kernel now includes updates by CIP and is up-to-date with tag st40 - thanks also to Flamefire for help with some of these (1)
Reduced zram size to 25% (1gb) of out total RAM to have more to use freely
Updated BT stuff for QPR2 (maybe offloading is working again? needs confirmation)
Added the option to reflash the mbn via OpenCS (see Xperia Parts) - thanks also to shank03 & Flamefire (2)
Fully enabled IMS on Congstar Germany via overlay on lilac
Possibly some battery/performance optimizations here and there
Fixed Android Auto support
Added new LineageOS "Charging control hal" for battery charging care (3)
Maybe more I forgot...
(1) The CIP kernel includes fixes for issues and security vulnerabilities from 4.14 kernel (see https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cip/linux-cip.git)
(2) A somehwat lengthy explanation: This option is off by default on fresh installs. When upgrading, this should be enabled because we enforced this for everybody previously. However, this option is only required for certain carrier mbns that enable IMS. Personally, I know that the O2/Telefonica Germany mbn needs this, otherwise you get a crashing modem at every boot (unless you switch to 3g before rebooting and back to LTE after boot). I generally recommend playing with this option, and if you don't need it (e.g. modem doesn't crash on boot), just keep it off - like mentioned before, this is now the default behavior of OpenCS on fresh installs anyway.
(3) This is not finalized or merged upstream in LineageOS yet, but seems like a nice feature to have and test drive already. Some bugs may be possible.
2023-01-08 | 1.1 | 47.2.A.10.107
Updated to T QPR1 release (LineageOS upstream)
New default camera app (LineageOS upstream) - yes, we cannot change video fps currently (thanks Sony!)
Any other updates by LineageOS upstream
Kernel security updates (also thanks to Flamefire)
Dropped keyprovd service - it is useless on unlocked BL anyway
Show 4G instead of LTE icon - saves some space too
Enable IMS by default - this still only works if carrier is supported
Fix some selinux denials (also thanks to Flamefire)
Fixup ViLTE dependencies - this might in theory work again, but it's not enabled yet
2022-10-03 | 1.0 | 47.2.A.10.107
Initial release
Is it the same procedure as always?
first flash latest available Stock ROM(47.2.A.10.107) and boot into it once.
Then flash the twrp,
then flash the rom?

As other friends mentioned in other posts you can recover from this by flashing the stock firmware IF you can get it to flash mode.
Hi, do not worry, the battery in this phone is the end of your life, more rom has been flashed.
The problem is that i can not put phone in flash mode, only the last posibility is to wait tha the phone discharge battery and i can enter in flash mode.

Have Fun
Hello,
This is the first rom I installed on my phone ever. I took me all day to figure it out how to unlock bootloader, install TWRP and then ROMS. I tried three roms: crDroid, Nusantara, and this one. I like this one best. It is amazing that one person can make such an OS and a whole sony corporation can not make an update
P.S. It works very well, but on my phone icons do not have bubbles when for example a message arrives. Maybe that is a bug or simply I do not know how to enable them (Notification dot on app icon is enabled).
At first I thought that there is a bug then I could not access files on a phone from a computer, but later I find out that it is a new security feature of newer android OS (I changed it to file transfer always on in Developers options)
Thank you
