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.

Features:
OS Version: 10.0 (Q)
Kernel: Linux 3.10
Kernel 3.10.108
New: Android security patch level: 5 September 2022
Using sony blob's from stock version 32.4.A.1.54
Memory issues finally fixed!
Battery consumption significantly reduced! For further reduction, please follow these instructions.
Google Pay does not give an error when starting the app. This does not mean, that payment is working. I can't test it, because I don't use this feature at all. Please report if it's working or not.
Updated aptX encoder blobs.
P2P-Crashes fixed.
Important informations:
You should be familiar with general installation of custom ROMs.
Required for installation: TWRP 3.2.1 (pick the version from 2018-02-23!!!) There is a version 3.2.3 out there, but with that version I had problems to restore my backups. 3.2.1 is just working perfect for me!
OR use my self built TWRP-version 3.6.2!
This ROM needs a clean install, old /data may cause problems!
This ROM is NOT pre-rooted.
It is highly recommended that your device is running (or HAS RUN in the past!) the latest stock ROM from Sony (32.4.A.1.54) before flashing this ROM.
Otherwise the baseband files may not match.
Working:
Bluetooth
Camera; both built-in camera (Snap) and 3-rd party camera apps.
Snap may be a little bit laggy, please use 3-rd party camera app instead; for example OpenCamera. If you're running into errors, please report.
Enforced SELinux support (see attached screenshot)
Fingerprint
FM-Radio
GApps (pick this version: ARM64, 10.0, pico [tested])
German app AusweisApp2 working (see this post)
GPS
Headset
LiveDisplay (see attached screenshots)
Location services
Notification LED
Offline charging
Phone calls (see attached screenshot)
SafetyNet test passed successfully
Signed build
SMS
Torch
WiFi
These things are NOT (or badly) working:
Camera focus at low distances.
Encryption
Payment
Streaming (mirroring)
VoLTE
Maybe some more things are not working.
If you have problems with GApps:
Sometimes the SetupWizard of GApps crashes on and on. Then you have to boot into TWRP, mount system, and go into terminal, where you have to delete SetupWizard (see screenshots):
Code:
cd /system/system/priv-app
rm -rf SetupWizard
Reboot.
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.
Changelog
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.

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.

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 ?

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.

While waiting for Euphoria marshmallow I did a test build for CM-13, so here it is.
If anyone want to take over this, I can help setting everything up.
Installation instructions:
Installing CM 13 for the first time, or coming from another ROM:
- Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery/Team Win Recovery Project for ext4 and with selinux support.
- Copy GApps and ROM ZIP to your SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Make a backup of your current rom just in case
- Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik-cache
- Flash CM zip from SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from SDCard (Don't reboot before installing this if you plan to use GApps)
- Reboot
- Don't restore system data using Titanium Backup!
- I don't recommend changing kernel.
Upgrading from an earlier version:
- Copy the ROM ZIP to your SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Wipe cache and dalvik-cache
- Flash the ROM zip from SDCard
- Reboot
Download:
ROM HERE
Recommended GAPPs HERE Don't use google stock package

Cyanogenmod: here
device_lge_p880: here
kernel: here
repo patches: here
Notes:
-Selinux is in permissive mode for now.You can change it to enforce by typing setenforce 1 in terminal.
-Wifi display(Screen cast) is disabled and it will not work with the old blobs that we have.
-I'm not trying to take ower for laufersteppenwolf. I use stock blobs and I'm just trying to help.
-I created this because someone shared the build in the Euphoria thread.
bugs:
-reboot to recovery
-after reboot "System process not responding" is displayed
-error "invalid number" after remote call disconnect
- Keyboard bug with open_GApps: After install of GApps, install attached cm-13.0-UNOFFICIAL-OpenGapps-keyboard_hotfix_5-16.zip to fix the FC of AOSP keyboard.
- video problems in default browser. Try a differnt browser.
- video preview in gallery have a green overlay, video playback is ok.
- some minor bugs in setting->performance
- (Perfomance is not great on this old phone)
-??
Please add signature faking patch!
Sometimes when I press the power button it opens up the camera app. Other than that it is stable and much faster than the stock ROM.
Great job. Keep it up!
--EDIT--
Also when the phone is charging the touch buttons are lighting up.
is it worth updating from euphoria? what changes
Thanks for creating a new thread :good:

"Sometimes when I press the power button it opens up the camera app." It is feature on android 6.0, press power button twice and camera app open directly.
Overall this ROM is excellent.
Thanks for your support Alfa samsung.
Do you have a changelog for the new version @alfsamsung ?
What a great surprise. Again thanks for your dedication in developing this device.
I intsalled yesterday, installed with google keyboard via recovery, sometimes laggy but almost ready for daily driver. And I can say that M is better than L.
Thanks so much!!! Its nice to see there is still hope for my old and trusty phone
Works fine. Just a few reboots in 10 hours. Still can't get 100% deep sleep. Stopped a few services and it system update. Sleeps only 80%. Because of Android system .

Wake up screen with sound button is working,
Gps is working,
sometimes beginning of call other person can't hear me, I can hear very clear.

And for now I will not return to 5.1.1. After a few new vers. I believe that M will work better than other android vers. on our P880.

Updated version of this ROM: [ROM][TMOBILE][S7_SM-G930T][Oreo 8.0 Rooted][WifiCalling]G930TUVU4CRI2
ROM last updated: 10/30/2018
Introduction:
HUGE thanks to the guys that got this going like root & figuring out hybrid stocks! This ROM is a complete rewrite of my ROM [ROM][TMOBILE][S7_SM-G930T][Oreo Rooted] That ROM doesnt have WifiCalling & I couldn't get it to work for the life of me, so I rewrote it. I started with stock, and slowly stepped back making changes, reinstalling each time, confirming it still worked. About 200 installs later & 1000s of changes, this is the result. Yes, it took a LONG time. Hope you enjoy it! Don't forget to say Thanks so I know it is actually helpful to others, and continue doing this!
Description:
Stock Tmobile Oreo 8.0 modified (G930TUVU4CRF1)
EXTREMELY debloated! Nearly bare minimum, while still retaining hardware functionality. Eg, Samsung Gallery & Camera exist so we get 4k recording, and there aren't errors when we pull up the Gallery to edit, etc. Yes, this means NO Samsung or Android Pay. There could be more apps to debloat but Im out of time for now! (Please provide suggestions if interested)
Everything possible I replace Samsung with Google
Solid ROM. It was actually kind of slow for me, but I'm curious how this works for others.
Xposed is part of the guide, which will give you infinite customization & tweak-ability
If you hate Samsung SW and just want a solid working ROM with very few install options to get you up and running this is for you.
This will delete all of your data on the phone! (Not external SD card) This is the only way so don't ask. Backup your data!
Features:
Tmobile Wifi Calling works, along with Visual Voicemail & Mobile Hotspot
Many Aroma Installer app options
(Optional) KevinsFavorites option in Aroma. I'm not sure I'd recommend it due to my tastes. If you're looking for some good common apps tho, it includes: Amazon, AmazonMusic, AquaMail, Gmail, GoogleDrive, GoogleKeep, GooglePhoto, Hangouts, IFTTT, Pandora, RootBrowserClassic, TitaniumBackup, Uber, & Wink (If you install these and want to remove them later, use TitaniumBackup (or similiar) to uninstall
Root Features: See Downloads->Recommended Root Zip & say Thanks!
Debloated
De-Knoxed
Decrypted /data/ partition
OTAs disabled
Speed & Build Prop Tweaks
Dual speaker
Ruthless Launcher
Apps
AdAway
AOD Clock Face Themes
CPUSpy
DisableService
Kernel Adiutor
Samsung Video Editor and Trimmer
Xposed
Many more...

I have so many FW packages on my PC at this point, from so many places that I used while trying to get this to work, but I think it might be a package from one of your threads(?) Since I'm not exactly sure what you're asking regarding "Ufirm FW", I'll elaborate hoping that answers your question. (Tho I'm thinking you mean the U variation/unlocked. So based on these stock files below I guess the answer is no.) If you're question is really, "is it possible to get tmobile wifi calling to work on a U model #", then I'd have to really think about that. But at this point I don't have an answer. I can tell you a million dependencies about it tho! (I seriously have hundreds of revisions I made while testing, & notes. The symbolic & meta links in Aroma initially broke it, as I found out after a week or so of testing - wish I knew a bit more about them, and why they're all there, then I'd know what was wrong about them...)
High-level process:
1)Flash Base/Stock/Oreo Rom:
- AP_G930TUVU4CRF1.tar
- BL_G930TUVU4CRF1.tar
- CP_G930TUVU4CRF1.tar
- CSC_TMB_G930TTMB4CRF1.tar
- HEROQLTE_USA_VZW.pit
2)Root with your method
3)Flash Xposed framework & my ROM (it's a "start with stock then remove what we don't want" type of Aroma/Edify script)

If you choose the keep safestrap option during root the it will flash the system/vendor/etc/ fstab.qcom that totally removes data encryption but when that fstab.qcom is flashed it also requires a data wipe for phone to boot then when you install xposed you won’t see that error but either way you end up wiping data so your choice

First, I want to thank you so much kevin71246. I tried your previous version as I was sick and tired of how sluggish my phone felt after the last two T-Mobile OTA updates. So far the experience on the phone has been great but I wanted to post about an issue I had with that version to see if anyone else has come across it or can figure out what is going on. The reason I am making this a reply in this thread instead of your other is because I will be flashing this update shortly but I want to get the ball rolling on the issue first.
I went through the whole process, installing the minimum with Google Apps, though I did restore everything previously installed once I log in with my Goggle Account. I am unsure if this contributed to the problem but I will not be restoring apps on the next try. It seems no matter what process I attempt to connect my Ticwatch E to my S7 the Wear OS app will not recognize it which causes the watch to get stuck in the setup phase, making it useless. This was after multiple and different connection attempts, resets, reboots and factory (watch only) restores. The watch will show up under bluetooth and create the initial connection but it will not stay connected. Anyone have any idea? Is this ROM missing something?
Edit: Mid way through the install, I wanted to note that I checked for the issue after doing the "Install Stock Oreo" but before Root and everything worked as it should. Wear OS sees the watch instantly and Bluetooth connects fine.
Edit: So I am a day into using the ROM and I am still having issues. While it will connect and work perfectly fine now, when ever I do a reboot of the phone the watch no longer connects. I will just get constant Bluetooth Connection Requests, every single time the watch tries to get data, and it never actually connects. To fix this I need to do a complete reset of the watch and do the whole setup process again. As you can imagine this is no good, expecting to wipe my watch every time my phone reboots makes it still almost useless.

I believe I know what the issue is, I'm testing a fix (for THIS ROM) as we speak. Stay tuned. Maybe tomorrow if I have time and it works I'll update the OP. BTW, this ROM and my other ROM are TOTALLY different. Thanks for the feedback!

New version, see change log in OP for details.
Yeah i.a give this a shot in a little. Do I need to root phone or can I just flash through Odin. Sorry not used to this locked bootloader crap..... s8crj1 are the last 6 digits of the software I'm on. I did receive the latest update will this effect me installing this. Sorry as I said not used to this locked bootloader crap.

If you choose the keep safestrap option during root the it will flash the system/vendor/etc/ fstab.qcom that totally removes data encryption but when that fstab.qcom is flashed it also requires a data wipe for phone to boot then when you install xposed you won’t see that error but either way you end up wiping data so your choice

since bootloader is locked you can't use TWRP so you have to use Flashfire to install this ROM, as you know flashfire required root so you have to setup the base per OP and then root the base then install the ROM and then root it again, read the first page I don't think you will get a instructions more detailed then his
Okay so I just realised I was posting comments on the old thread, my bad. Coming back to the question, can the boot animation be changed? I've messed with the qmg files in an attempt to replace the weird, nauseating rainbow animation but even after overwriting the latter, it persists. Looking forward to a reply kek

Nauseating rainbow? LOL. Sorry. This is much more of a general question though, that wouldn't exactly pertain to this ROM specifically. And given I don't have an answer, I'd try searching BootAnimation How-Tos to get this customized. The ONLY thing I did regarding this was replaced the existing files with the rainbow ones. That's it. Apologies in advance.
Just discovered an issue: RCS (Rich Communication Services / Chat) texts don't show up in Android Messages app. See "Known Issues" in OP for a solution. BTW I posted a new ROM version a few days back that allows many choices in Aroma Installer. Make sure to pick Samsung Messages (instead of Google), so you get RCS chat text messages!

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

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

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.

Changelog
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.
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!

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)!

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.
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.
Hello! Can you made this rom for z5 premium?
No! There is a maintainer for z5p, please ask him.

Okay, thx!
Awesome, thanks for the constant support to z5c!
New version (Halloween edition!) out; see 1st post.
No crashes any more; therefore I've bumped this version to BETA state
Bluetooth crashes no longer. A connection can be established, but it disconnects again immediately after connection; dunno why!
FM-Radio removed; it caused crashes of bluetooth
GApps are working! I've tested MindTheGApps
Oh! I've forgotten: Signature spoofing is now working!
Haven`t tested your new release on my old Xperia Z5C yet, but I installed unofficial LOS 20.0 in my Xperia XZ2, by @dtrunk90, and with his ROM, bluetooth A2DP/AVRCP profiles work pretty fine. Don`t know if the kernel plays a critical part on this matter. For Z5C it`s still in version 3.10, whereas for the Tama platform, it`s 4.9. Maybe you guys could chat a little about it. Thanks for giving our old little beast a new life, anyway!

Not sure if this helps but check the comments in https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_sony_tama-common/+/339303
For some reason switching BtAudio to AIDL breaks a2dp offload for some devices.
I've tried to reactivate a2dp. Unsuccessfully. It's now realized as a module and that's not the same as before.

Feel free to port the kernel to 4.9 or anything else. We won't, because this really is a pain in the ass and could end in total frustration...
New version out; see 1st post.
Android security patch level: 5 November 2022
Los20 with MindTheGApps shows unreproducible random crashes. Until now I dunno why and I'm working on it.
But I think, it's not at my side and has to do with the (so my idea) early beta build of MindTheGApps...
I've tested on my Z5c with "NikGapps-go" yedterday and it work very well (store, mail, galery, map) without any crash.
MMS working after manual configuration of the APN (SFR).
The ROM is very smooth, more faster than lineage 19. Nice job!

I've seen a lot of java illegal exception error messages; so, yes, its a problem at MindTheGApps' side.

What are the differences between "core" and "go"? What does "go" exactly mean?

"go" apps are for low-end devices.
Apps run into navigator.
Navigator? Is that a kind of browser?
Oops i'm sorry for my english, i mean browser.
"go" apps runs into default browser.
Hm, our Z5C is now rather low-end, compared to today's flagships
So the Go version might be just the right thing. Sadly, I didn't get it to work on 19, and I'm still a bit afraid to switch to 20
NikGApps (I've installed the "core" flavour!) are working flawlessly indeed. Much better than MindTheGApps!
