I DID NOT MAKE THIS ROM!!!!!! - A developer by the name of TheKit made this rom, so do not give me any credit for this rom, give it all to them.
I am simply linking it because I love this phone, I love Sailfish OS on it, and I think a lot of people would enjoy Sailfish OS on it as well and just don't know it is available.
Q: "What is Sailfish OS and why should I use it?"
A: Sailfish OS is a great OS for many reasons. Having used multiple android roms I can attest to the fact that:
1. It has MUCH better battery life (however it has a weird battery read bug, see issues below)
2. It is MUCH faster and generally more stable when it comes to the things that work (your calls won't drop, your system won't lock up due to lack of ram, etc.)
3. It has a great gesture driven UI that is a joy to use and very gorgeous to look at. No more of this all white bull**** Google has been forcing down our throats since 2014
Q: "How good is the battery life?
A: After a day of playing cave story at work and reading discord and listening to music, I am at about 30-40% end of day (I start at 8:30AM, stop at 4:00PM)
Okay now that the Q/A segment is over, lets get to the real meat
ISSUES
1. Battery Read is wonky, it only goes in 10% increments until it reaches 20%, then it starts going in 5% increments
2. If you use the 2.1.3.7 build keyboard backlight is broken, but it works fine on the 2.1.0.11 build
3. Bluetooth is wonky, I was able to play audio through speakers in the 2.1.3.7 build...
4. FM Radio is broken too
5. As the maemo-talk thread says, CDMA is untested, and like on Photon Q, most likely does not work. GSM works great though! :good:
6. The old 2.1.0.11 build has a slew of issues compared to the new 2.1.3.7 build. These include data not working out of box, wifi requiring a reboot to work, and auto rotation not working in a majority of apps by default. Consult this thread and the maemo talk thread for more help, and if you want rotation anywhere, install patchmanager 2.0 and auto rotate anywhere from warehouse for sailfish os.
Alien Dalvik install tutorial
I did not make this and do not know who did. the developer claims someone threw a brick at them with an sd card attached. The sdcard contained links to these files in the form of a text file names "monkeyAIDS.txt"
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mS6di1jYfVeDoFBjcANS6SmfkhGyEKoa/view - AD Jolla C (different from the Turing phone rpm, this is built for 3.1.x kernels)
http://sfos.scanf.su/maserati/alien-patched.tar.gz
So extract both files to your ~/ (home) directory and type in the following:
devel-su
[insert root password you set in settings]
zypper in [alien dalvik rpm]
rsync -a /home/nemo/alien/ /opt/alien/
ln -s /vendor /opt/alien/system/vendor
reboot
OPTIONAL: fix for the default 320PPI value
devel-su
[insert root password]
vim /opt/alien/system/build.prop
change ro.sf.lcd.density to the value of your choosing (Droid 4 is 256)
Keyboard Backlight Fix, works on 2.1.0.11, don't know about 2.1.3.7 -- Thank you @moodroid for this legendary patch!
On <2.1.3.7, I got the keyboard backlight to work by creating an /etc/mce/20backlight.ini with:
[KeyPad]
BrightnessDirectory=/sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight
Then do 'pkcon install mce' and 'systemctl restart mce'.
Download Links
Here is the thread with the Download Link to the 2.1.0.11 build
https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=99031&page=9
If you don't mind a lack of keyboard backlight and want a more up to date build, grab the new and fabulous leaked 2.1.3.7 Build:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k3MOCrMvbFb114Omf0MzSvnQ7wBkTiWH/view?usp=sharing
Basically if you are fed up with how ****ty the latest Lineage OS builds are and just want to try something new, give this a try. Why not? What have you got to lose. All in all great work by TheKit and I am very happy with the port as it is and I think you will be too.
Hi,
On <2.1.3.7, I got the keyboard backlight to work by creating an /etc/mce/20backlight.ini with:

Hope you get the OK to share your AD success!

dude you are a legend!
I would add that to the OP but you are first comment so anyone viewing the op will see this. I will definitely tell TheKit about this (then again, he gave you the 2.1.3.7 build so you can just tell them yourself)
Greetings,
I've been playing around with SailfishOS on my Droid 4 in the past few days, and I have a few questions about the whole thing. TheKit publicly shared a 2.1.3.7 build for the Droid 4 on his thread at Maemo, is that the one you are talking about or is it a different build? As someone mentioned this specific build seems to have issues with wifi, and I have the same problem. I can't post links, but the download link to the build I mentioned is on page 12.
The 2.1.0.11 build seems to work fairly well, however I wasn't able to install Alien Dalvik. After the installation the "Android Support" button does show up in the settings app, however nothing happens when I click the start button. I also attempted installing an apk both via the GUI (by clicking on it in the downloads) and via the command line by using "apkd-install", but it doesn't seem to work. Full log of the installation process attached.
I talked with TheKit, and the 2.1.3.7 build I mentioned (the one at page 12) is indeed outdated. He just updated the OP at Maemo and added the latest 2.1.3.7 build, which I just flashed and it's working great. Also installed Alien Dalvik following the instructions in the OP and it seems to be working fine as well! However I wasn't successful with the backlight fix method yet.
For anyone wondering how I flashed the latest build I went CM11 --> SailfishOS 2.1.0.11 --> SailfishOS 2.1.3.7 (rel2).

Hi Nikkos,
Sorry - that was me that posted the backlight fix, and I agree that it doesn't work on 2.1.3.7-rel2. It'd worked on every other version I tried, and I've now edited my post above. Glad everything is working.
Sorry again

No worries.
If anyone is wondering how to change the SailfishOS UI scale (I find the default one to be way too big) here's how I did it via the terminal:
Code:
devel-su
rm /etc/dconf/db/vendor.d/locks/silica-configs.txt
dconf write /desktop/sailfish/silica/theme_pixel_ratio value
I believe the default value should be around 1.1; you can also reset the value to stock with:
Code:
dconf reset /desktop/sailfish/silica/theme_pixel_ratio
or read the value with:
Code:
dconf read /desktop/sailfish/silica/theme_pixel_ratio
Not exactly droid 4 related, but thought I'd share.
Okay, I got the backlight to turn on!
Type the following in the terminal:
Code:
devel-su
echo 255 >/sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness
It seems to properly react to some triggers like standby after being turned on but not to others like sliding the keyboard in and out (which means it will always stay on if the screen is on, regardless if it's been slided in or out). My assumption is that the keyboard sliding trigger got broken in some way, as I believe that's the way the backlight is being turned on. The events which trigger the backlight seem to be stored in the file /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/trigger, so I assume that would be a good starting point to attempt fixing this.
The keyboard backlight intensity can also be changed, just change the 255 to a different value (it goes from 0 to 255).
Note: this change is not permanent, it will need to be applied again at reboot. Writing a script which executes the above commands at boot should be trivial though, and I will include instructions when I get it done myself.
EDIT:
Here's how to make the change permanent. Following these instructions you will create a Systemd service which will turn the backlight on when active and off when inactive; it will automatically run at boot and it can also be controlled like any other Systemd service (i.e. using systemctl via the terminal)
Type the following commands through the terminal:
Code:
devel-su
cd /etc/systemd/system
touch keyboard-backlight.service
chmod 744 keyboard-backlight.service
You will now need to edit the keyboard-backlight.service file with a text editor (either vim or nano will do, vim comes preinstalled, nano does not). Depending on your preferred text editor, type the following:
Code:
vim keyboard-backlight.service
or
Code:
nano keyboard-backlight.service
Now write the following to the file and save it:
Code:
[Unit]
Description=XT894 keyboard backlight service
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "echo 255 >/sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness"
ExecStop=/bin/sh -c "echo 0 >/sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness"
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Now type the following to enable the service:
Code:
systemctl enable keyboard-backlight.service
That's it. You can now control the service by using the following:
Code:
systemctl start keyboard-backlight //This will turn the backlight on
systemctl stop keyboard-backlight //This will turn the backlight off
systemctl status keyboard-backlight //This will display the service status
Can anyone share the google drive file from the first post? Is there an alternative link available? Or could you PM me a google drive link? Thanks!

I've flashed it and performance wise it's really good but I've found 2 bugs:
1 Video playback, at least on YouTube (the audio and video are out of sync and maybe it's caused because your kernel may be based on the one with overclocking, which had the same issue, maybe you could base your kernel on the stock one)
2 NFC (the toggle is there but it doesn't want to turn on)
Anyway, apart from that, you've done a really great job :good:
EDIT: I've also found that the sdcard is recognized but it complains that it is unsupported

Unfortunately, stock kernel is uncompatible with this ROM. Actually, I thought the problem with out of sync audio was solved. I'll try to find the solution.

If you can, try to save logs. From adb shell or terminal (can be enabled in developer settings) before enabling NFC run the following commands:
Code:
logcat -c
start logcat
start kmsgcat
Then try to enable NFC and after unsuccessful try execute next commands:
Code:
stop logcat
stop kmsgcat
After that, there's gonna be two files: /tmp/logcat and /tmp/log_kmsg
Upload them here.

Actually, there were not complains about SD card. May be you have to format it. And don't try to enable adpotable storage - device doesn't support hardware encryption.
The video problem seems to be gone . Whenever I can I'll send you logs about NFC. I've also found a bug when I turn on wifi and connect my Bluetooth headphones at the same time, wifi disconnects slot but not with wired headphones. I'll send logs about that too. About the SDCARD I'll try to format it with the phone

Ok, first of all, I've formatted the sdcard and now it works. I've also taken logs about the NFC not turning on. I don't know anytning about this stuff but I've seen that there's some .so files that aren'lo loading properly and some .config files that I've checked to see if they were there but they weren't. Lets see if you can get anything useful out of them.

Does this ROM work P7L00? Has anyone tried?
what a great Xmas present all working as a charm, at least what I use on a daily basis. A bit of battery drain but it's like the P7 that should have always been!
So many thanks for this rom. But i have a lot of problems. Bluetooth headspeaker not working with call(I paired, call checked on Bluetooth, Bluetooth headset checked on call screen and all sound full but not speaking and not listening). I can listening music lowly with Headphone but all sound is full. And last one, install Magisk but I can't pass Safetynet (Please give me advice).

Explain better please. The problem is with battery drain or with very long battery charge?
I would recommend Wakelock Detector or BetterBatteryStats to find out the source of battery drain.
If the problem with battery charge, I would recommend replace charger or wire or both better.

in my case it's battery drain. As advised, I installed wakelock detector which showed me the Google SMS messages app that I installed was the reason for the battery drain.
I have removed it and reverted to the built-in SMS messages app.
Hi all,
Recently I received my new Xiaomi mi8. Yesterday I was finally able to unlock the bootloader after 15 days. After that I started installing custom roms. All seems to work quite well except for the fingerprint sensor.
The fingerprint sensor works fine on any Xiaomi rom. However, it does not seem to work on any other custom rom. When installing Lineage OS 16 I am able to register fingerprints in the setup flow. After that I am able to unlock the phone exactly once with the finger print. After that the fingerprint system stops working (there is no haptic feedback anymore as well when pressing your finger on the sensor). In logcat I see the following messages when I try to unlock with the fingerprint:
Code:
04-27 17:42:53.924 4316 4316 F linker : CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "/vendor/bin/hw/[email protected]": library "[email protected]" not found
04-27 17:42:53.926 4317 4317 F linker : CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "/vendor/bin/hw/[email protected]": library "vendor.
I have tried wiping everything multiple times (factory reset, format data, format dalvik + cache + system etc). I have tried flashing roms in a certain order (from xiaomi to custom). I have tried installing the latest firmware from
Code:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/
(latest stable and weekly). I have tried an older version of TWRP. Sadly, none of these steps worked in resolving the issue.
That's why I would really appreciate if someone could help me out in this :angel:! Thanks!
EDIT
After deleting the following files I am able to register new finger prints. After that I am able to unlock the device exactly once.
Code:
/data/system/locksettings.db
/data/system/user/0/fpdata
/data/system/user/0/settings_fingerprint.xml

Hi all:
Here is a LineageOS 17.1 ROM for Z5 compact (suzuran).
Download 2022-09-11
This is a 7z archive with the zip'ed rom and the md5 file in it. Please unpack this archive, copy the included two files somewhere to your device, reboot into TWRP and flash this zip file. Enable md5sum checking. The zip file itself is not signed, so you have to disable zip verification.

Use this rom at your own risk! It comes without any warranty! I'm not responsible for any damage! If you don't agree with that, don't try to flash this rom in any way.
Benefits:
Added F-Droid and UnifiedNLP! If you don't want this, simply de-install it.
I've set maximum speaker volume to a higher value.
I've increased microphone gain.
I've changed the microfone gain to avoid echo in phone calls.

Troubleshooting:
If you're running into an error, please search in this thread if this error is already posted, before you post it again!
If not, I need a LOG to see what went wrong. Without a LOG I can't help you!
A LOG can be fetched by connecting the device with an USB cable to your PC and then by typing these commands line by line:
Code:
adb root
adb shell logcat -b all -d > logcat
Send my this LOG file via PM.
If you think this could be a SELinux related issue, please try to set the device to permissive mode first.
If the issue is gone, I need the policy file too (plus LOG). Fetch it by typing this line in a terminal:
Code:
adb pull /sys/fs/selinux/policy
If you stuck in a bootloop you can fetch a LOG with this trick:
Press the power button and the volume up button together until the device shuts down.
HOLD the power button.
Release the volume up button and press the volume down button immediately after releasing the volmue up button.
The device should start into TWRP recovery.
Tap on "Advanced", then on "Terminal" and enter these commands line by line:
Code:
cd sys/fs/pstore
cp * /sdcard
Send me the copied file(s), if any, via PM.
Hi Bernie,
First things first : Thank you so much for your amazing work on this device.:highfive:
So hard to find a good, compact and up to date smartphone.
So i tried your Los17.1 and i just noticed another issue : ram usage.
Without nor the gapps neither other apps installed, the system is using 1.6go ram (even the keyboard can take time to appear once you launch an app)
On your Los14.1 (i tried with the last one you created, a few days ago) : it would be something like 0.8go ram (so everything run smoother) still without gapps and other apps / settings.
Maybe, now our days, 3go ram is mandatory for android + gapps + 3rd party ...

I know about that. I've tried with gapps and I can confirm that ram is running out of free space. Sometimes the system is not responding any more (screen is flickering and it seems that nothing happens) and I have to restart it (press power button quite a long time until power menu appears).
It is indeed far away from being a daily driver... :angel:
Another issue: It seems that location services (gps) are not working.
Does anybody confirm that?
Although Bernard warmed us that this ROM is not precisely ready yet, I tried to give it a go, Twice, already. At each time, some variations: with and without gapps (Pico and Nano), via the recommended TWRP and the 3.3.1 one. The result is always the same: after the language selection, my phone reboots on the 'Just a sec', endlessly. I have to restore a nandroid backup, on order to have a working phone again.

I can confirm that unfortunately GPS isn't working.
By the way, i saw many other good roms on many devices ... that had an alpha rom far worse than this one

i didn't have this behavior on my tests, but i usually let the system start and wait for few minutes before using it (especially on 1st boot).
Also, i always reboot once after the 1st boot.
Hope it will help

You have to enable google's location service in location settings. With that, maps is working with correct location; but I don't know if the location comes from gps, wlan or network. It's raining since many days and I don't want to stand outside in the rain and wait for gps connection... :angel:
I've tried to install f-droid and their location services; no better results...

Yes, I know. The problems are always the closed-source binaries from qualcom and sony that are not properly working on LineageOS versions > 14.1
We're working on it but I'm not able to say if we can fix these issues.
BTW: Is anyone able to make an outgoing call successfully?

Weird! At my device this popup comes in the moment when trying to make an outgoing call. And this call is not started! The other end does not ring!
Could you please tell us, which preferred network type is set in *#*#info#*#* "Phone info" and in "Mobile network settings" (see screenshots)?
I'm not on any aspect a Dev but I give you all my energy on continuing the developpment of this ROM.
Any other support available ?

Hmmm. Then is must be a problem with my german providers (with their apn I think); I've tested two: T-Mobile and O2. With both I can't make outgoing calls...

Pretty strange, indeed.
The phone i tested with is on another provider than my z5c.
I got to say that i checked the apn before making my tests, and they were good.
I will retry with the new version tonight .
Thanks
The APN shouldn't matter for regular calls unless you're using Wifi calling or VoLTE, maybe disable both and see if it works.

One last request:
Please, do not ask about problems for which my ROM is not responsible.
From now on I will only react to problems that I can reproduce and that are caused by my ROM.
I'm sorry for that, but I'm developing this ROM in my spare time and I still have a normal life.
The SIM card recognition works now; please stay tuned.
Currently I'm fighting with a crash loop while trying to enter SIM PIN.
Seems this is going to be a longer fight...

Hello Berni
For a short time, I tried rom with a spare device.
I also installed NikGapps.
First, it doesn't recognize the sim.
I tried rebooting several times, but it doesn't recognize it.
Also, I can't move the app icon.
The safety net was fine with Magisk.
Please do its best.
I haven't uploaded my latest changes because they are too unstable!

That's not a bug, that's a feature!
Long-press on an empty part of the screen and tab on "Home settings" and switch the first switch ("Lock layout") to the "on" position.
The logic behind this feature is reverse, so don't wonder.

I could flash your android 12 version. recovery is changed to stock recovery, I reflashed twrp.
Welcome Screen was flickered, after 2 reboots I could create my profile on my z5 compact.
I had a lot of crashed on homescreen.
Call and sms are working.
Weird! I don't have any crashes! Could you please grab and send LOGs?
good work, does gapps work?
Thanks will try out this rom after awhile
Please don't forget: This is a very early ALPHA version! Don't expect any miracle!
And if possible, grab LOGs and search them for fatal errors (" F " <- a blank, a capital letter F and a blank) and for messages like "dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol".
I'm using "grep" for that:
Git:
grep " F " logcat > logcat.fatal
grep "dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol" logcat > logcat.symbol
...or like that...
Hi! Could you port this rom on sony Z5 premium?
I'm only building for suzuran (Z5 compact E5803, E5823)!
Please ask @Joel16 for further assistance.
He's the maintainer for Z5 premium.
