I've tried update OTA last night and failed to install i though the package was missing, i recommended to update via twrp and don't forget to backup data

Hi AdrianDC,

I'm really impressed by your work on the software for our Xperias. I have already written it before, and I'll repeat it again - your work has given my phone brand new life and now it's my basic, everyday device which I really love. And I love your latest addition - those music lights effects, they work beautifully with Spotify !

But I think this might be right place and time to ask a question which I could not answer by myself :

How do the LED notifications actually work ? :o

When I go to the Notifications > Configure notifications section > Notification LED, I can see some options there which I have no idea how to set correctly to have everything working like it should :

1. Choose Colors automatically - from my experiments, it looks like when I add a custom application to the list, then phone is selecting the notification colour based on the application icon dominating colour, am I right ?

2. Default - normally set to white - no idea what it does ? Is it used when no "automatic" color for aplication notification can be set ?

3. Then, way down, we have "Use custom values" which allows to select notification color for chosen application. But sometimes even if I add an application here to the list, and it is actually displaying a notification, it does not produce LED notification. (like, for example an app that is monitoring system for location requests and displaying a notification when such requests occur - it does not produce LED output)

4. Then there is "Phone" section which is the biggest mystery for me - I can't get it to work. I mean, the phone does not light a LED after there was "Missed Call" (and I can't tell anything about Voicemail, but I'm not using voicemail in general). Today I got a LED notification only after I added "Phone" application to the custom list, and assigned it the colour manually - and additionally I had to manually modify its notification settings in the app properties (modify its "power notification")

I am using right now the latest build, from July 19th.

Maybe there is already some explanation on the Internet that I missed ?

Anyway, one more time thanks a lot for your hard work. You have really impressive skills.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] AdrianDC:
:D Thanks !

1. Yes automatically chosen based on the app icon, to avoid setting colors for each apps that use default values

2. Used for not automatic usage + affects notifications that use default colors, an app can say its notification has Pink color for example.

3. See 2.

4. Can't really tell, I might look into it one day when possible.

:good:

Is anyone having WiFi connectivity issues? I mean, my device connects without an issue but at times (specially when I'm playing games) the internet connection dies even though the phone never disconnects from the WiFi. I know the issue lies on my SP because the WiFi works without any issue on every other device on my house. If it helps with anything I have C5306 one.

Hey guys, when I wake up the device with the power button, every other time I do, the camera app starts (often even though I pressed the power button just once). I remember from the CM13 build that there was an option to make a double press on the power button start the camera app, but I can't find it in this build. Did I miss it somewhere? Or does anyone know if there is anything to do about this?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] OsGhaly:
Agree with you all XSP custom ROMs have low sound. But for the WiFi, I think it's working fine and this is the best we can get from our old XSP.

You can also use v4a for better sound, just enable root and install v4a with nougat fix from the official thread then flash the modified guitardedhero version over it to be able to install drivers successfuly.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] AdrianDC:
For the audio volumes, if you really think there's a volume that is low for some reason,

please detail everything, the app, the volume (at max ?), the speaker / headset / ... used,

the app, whatever may seem relevant to reproduce and test it.

The volumes I configured during the Audio HAL conversion are based on the stock audio levels, with already an improvement on the speaker's volume in comparison to default values.

In my opinion the volumes are perfect for all the uses, but if you really think there's a volume that is too low, let's justify and compare.

Also keep in mind that increasing the audio mixer volumes, while giving higher audio results, will often end up in distorded or noisy sounds at maximum, which is what limits the configurations.

For instance, putting the speaker at 100% results in a complete audio disaster, hence volume is high but quality and safety for the speaker's survival is very low.

Sounds like a faulty / damaged power button, the metal shape of the contact is probably no longer clicking / unclicking properly.

You could find such features easily with the Settings' search feature.

Just searching "Camera" gives you the feature you are looking for first.

Basically it's under the Gestures settings, which was introduced originally by AOSP since June 2016.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] imska:
Oh man, you're the best! I could have found that, totally forgot about the search function in the settings x)

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Omran Zendaki:
This rom is awesome my mobile used to be so slow and laggy and now it's perfect thank you very much
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] OsGhaly:
First of all, I don't know how to thank you for all the time and effort you put in making all these great XSP custom ROMs.

For the audio volumes, I can confirm that the internal speaker (for calls) and the headphones audio volumes are OK.. But the loudspeaker is not loud enough, especially in playing videos (local or online), playing music, ringing and notifications.

I tried to modify the mixer path file to increase volumes but as you said I got a distorted sound on high levels.. and got the same result with Faux sound on custom kernel.. Only v4a works great and give rich sound with high volume.. The stock rom also has something called Xperia clear sound that makes audio better with stock & stock based ROMs. and I think this because each of them has its own libraries that work after the primary amplification process.

problem with stock browser

I've been facing a problem with stock Internet browser, don't know if anyone else has seen this. sometimes in some pages when I want to sweep up, instead it keeps refreshing the page even I am not at top of the page, I mean it's like it can only goes down and it won't come up and no matter how many times I try, the refreshing little circle keeps appearing instead. unless I try to go to the address by other ways (like direct address instead of google search)! i tried clearing cache, didn't work. and I guess it mostly happens when I go to a site by google search. it's really annoying me, any advice or help (other than using another browser since I like the stock very much!) will be appreciated!

is there a way to disable refreshing page by sweeping up??
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] AdrianDC:
It's a known issue happening on specific websites that implement Google AMP layouts.

We already have have a fix in tests but it's not ready yet.

Found this review recently on the /r/android subreddit . Thought I would share so newcomers would have a user-sided review that is objective and not biased. It compares the original firmware made by Sony to the Lineage OS Builds made by [MENTION=2233641]AdrianDC[/MENTION] .

testing lineage-14.1-20170801-nightly, the camera app and gallery force close quite often, keyboard also close while writing SMS.

will try a fresh install of the new nightly. Appreciating the lights effects and buttons customization.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] emcom:
This is all true, and my feelings are the same - our Xperia SP is amazing, especially for its age, and AdrianDC has given it a new life. I really can't believe it every day I use this phone. Actually, today I started to think about buing a second one as a backup, in case my current one would fail one day. Using SP gives me a lot of fun, and it clearly shows that this is really great piece of hardware. I have a few other, younger, more powerful phones, but I have chosen the SP as my daily driver, because it does perfectly everything I love : music, (great quality!) FM radio, photos... And now with the latest extension for LEDs from AdrianDC it is a really, really unique phone.

ok, after a wipe and flashing lineage-14 1-20170816-nightly

bugs are gone, thanks you very much Adrian DC : Rom is very good, it's like a new phone.

i'm new to the Nougat thing, is there such option as quick panel access to hide the notification pulldown after toggling a widget button ?

after a few days of normal use, i got FC with camera and sometimes phone stutters and hangs on black screen once. coulbe my hardware... coming from laggy factory rom to this one.

last offficial update (20-08-17) fixed FC i've had.. could be slow when using kb on internet

back to basics

I don't understand this, my photos looks like taken with a toy camera and that's even if I can get it to focus at all.

Also, the sound via headphones (from original set) or main speaker seems to be too low to my liking (in Podcastadict app I have to use volume booster feature).

Anyway, ROM is very good, I'm using SP currently as a backup phone while my main one is in repair. However I have installed only few basic apps, like Firefox, Instagram, Outlook and Viber and Tinfoil for FB but phone still freezes sometimes when opening certain app. Maybe Greenify would help the situation.

I have a problem. I really know it's not from rom

when I flash gapps after boot many error shown and saying google play store,services,google contact or all other google closed

I really don't know and send this massage for friend to fix this.

I used twrp custom recovery (sony_williams_kernel_v8.elf) to flash.

model LTE C5203

gapps version: Arm 7.1 pico
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ralfbergs:
You should flash the ROM, then immediately afterwards GApps, WITHOUT rebooting in between!

Dear Adrian, your work is absolutely awsome, beats all our expectations, thanks! For improvement feedback, I can back up what Aryav DV pointed out: during call, screen goes black, and cannot be waken up. I use lates ROM (23 Aug).

problem with status bar

hey i've been seeing a problem with status bar, sometimes when i pull down the bar for second time to access brightness bar or quick settings, it becomes grey and frozen and the icons become untouchable and grey too, then i should close the status bar and pull down again to solve the issue. anybody else seeing this?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Excalipub:
No such problem so far for me (Rom 29/8). Back up your apps with Titanium Backup for instance and try a clean flash of latest rom with 7.1 Nano Gapps at the same time. Hope problem will be resolved.

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] zigomatix:
Hi,

First of all thank you for your wonderful work. I have installed lineageOS on my xperia SP and I would like to share somme issues.

I have never been able to install it with something else than TWRP. The included boot.img is not working for first install and updates, the installation crashes at the begining.

Each time I install this OS, it errases TWRP. Is that normal ? Any way to keep it ?

Yesterday I tried to update via the OTA, the phone downloaded the update normaly, asked me if I wanted to update and warned me it has to reboot. I went through the process with no warnings but the phone never started again. It spent the night with the lineage logo at startup and emptied the full battery.

This morning I re install TWRP and try an update (wtih no wipes at all) and get the same result : Lineage logo and no more (note that twrp has gone again).

I think I have to re install TWRP, wipe all and so on, just as a scratch install.

Don't know why updates are offerd from within android and not working for me ?

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] fffffade:
Hi guys! First of all i'd like to thank you for all your work too.

Jeez, you're reviving a smartphone that was basically DEAD for those idiots from Sony. You're making saving us a lot lot lot of money! God bless u.

In any case, i'm also ecountering the same issues of Zigomatix and as you can imagine, the phone is basically paralized now. What can we do?

Is it better maybe to reinstall the first release of Lineage and forget this update released 2 days ago? Actually, is it possible to reinstall the first OS version, a downgrade?

I really hope so, it was kicking asses! Thanks guys!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] OsGhaly:
You're facing these because you're flashing twrp to the boot partition, that will be replaced each time you flash a new ROM. Instead, you need to flash the twrp recovery to FOTA partition.. You can find the download link and how to install twrp to FOTA in this thread by Adrian DC :

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=65191518
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] fffffade:
I did exactly as written in the tutorial: installed the last FOTA zip in the sd, flashed it in the recovery mode, flashed the last lineage rom, full wipe, reboot and still nothing... it stays stucked at the lineage logo and nothing happens.

I mean, correct me if i'm wrong, but it should load the whole system up in 10 minutes right? Thanks in advance for any help!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] engr_exxi:
I think it should be. full wipe > flash lineage os > reboot.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] fffffade:
Thanks, yep you're totally right, i was doing the opposite procedure... plus didn't install any Gapps. I'm still such a noob on these things.

In any case, is it really necessary to do a complete wipe before any update?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] zigomatix:
OK I read about FOTA before but did not understand the point (I'm french and maybe did not understand the whole thing).

I will guive it a try soon.

thanks for the reply.

For me, I downgraded to the late august version after a full factory reset and it installs and works well.

I will stay for a while with this built until I have time to update my phone.

Regards
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] engr_exxi:
You can dirty flash the updates unless it is necessary to do so. For example, a new version comes out and some of the old files cannot be overwritten by doing dirty flash, or some files must be deleted for the program / application / process to work properly without issues. These things are common during transitions i.e. from old OS version to new one. Hence, doing a complete wipe is not really necessary unless you are facing issue (dirty flashing since the beginning and notice the device is not performing well).

So unless you don't want to lose the data / lose the OS. You must not do the complete wipe.

Would it be possible to install the camera application from AOSP-CAF on the LineageOS 14.1 somehow ?

The built-in Snap has sometimes focusing problems, while the one from AOSP-CAF does not have them, at least no so often.

It has another problem, it's crashing after I try to enter camcorder settings, but as an additional application just for taking photos it would be acceptable.

Does anyone know if it's possible ?

Dear Adrian, the black screen problem is unfortunately back with newest ROM (19 Sept). First I thought it is because I dirty flashed it, but then I clean flashed it, and screen is still black during call without the ability to wake it up.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Ungewiss:
This is assumably device specific. Test your sensors, especially the proximity sensor might be broken.

I do not have that problem on two XSP.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] hannor:
Dear Ungewiss, the sensor is not broken - it works perfectly with the 5 Sept ROM.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Ungewiss:
This might just depend on the ambient light conditions. I did not see any related code changes but I could have missed it.

You might as well be hitting another bug, off course.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] hannor:
Dear Ungewiss, thank you for the suggestion, I tested it by turning everything OFF under the Ambient display setup menu. Unfortunately there is still black screen during call without the ability to wake it up.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Ungewiss:
There is a misunderstanding, I mean the ambient light like the brightness in the room you are in.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] hannor:
Dear Ungewiss, I called my XSP by the window (in full light) and in my closed bathroom (zero light). Screen got dark inmediately after answering the call in BOTH cases without the ability to wake it up. But thanks for the suggestion!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] dimenfer:
Man, your proximity sensor probably is dead, just try a app and test it.

I re-installed the 5 Sept ROM to test this issue. It seems CalveinX is right: my proximity sensor is dead :(
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] dimenfer:
It can be something obstructing the sensor, or if you changed the touch maybe it's it, I changed my Xperia SP touch 3 times, the first are poorly made and obstructed the sensor, on the 3rd I was luck it worked perfectly, If you look in AdrianDC Basketbuild, there has a zip for deactive the proximity sensor, I used it for a long time.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] hannor:
Dear CalveinX, thank you for the suggestion. My proximity sensor has a contact problem - if I press the top right corner of my phone, it starts to work... I discovered this with the help of a fantastic little app called Sensors test.
