Is the z5 still supported? The lineage website is being a bit funny with the link

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

Can't find the z5 on the lineage is page anymore or with the link? Is it still supported?
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] arslanon.e:
It's there man: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/sumire

About my earlier message, calls are working fine. Must have been some temporary issue that restart fixed.
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] PureMAD4:
Awesome

The link is working again now too. Panic over

Latest build seems to get stuck on boot. 20180929

I've tried a complete/total wipe. Still no go. Stuck!

What can I do go go on?

Last working build was 20180311, Since then, they're all hangs on boot, even with full wipe.
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] Myself5:
What device do you have? What was the latest Stock ROM you had installed? Did you make sure that's the latest?

Where exactly does it hang (Sony Splash or Lineage boot animation)? Can you provide Logs? Are you encrypted? Why are you only reporting it now after over half a year that it wasn't working?
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] SysGhost:
What device do you have?

Sony Xperia Z5 (Sumire) - E6653

What was the latest Stock ROM you had installed?

32.3.A.2.33 - (Generic Global)

Did you make sure that's the latest?

As of the time of writing this, I downloaded the latest build from download.lineageos.org for the Xperia Z5 (Sumire)

Where exactly does it hang (Sony Splash or Lineage boot animation)?

It get stuck at the lineage boot logo. Device remains cold, so there seems to be no CPU load.

Usually the CPU gets rather hot during initial boot. But that's not the case here. Sits endlessly on the lineageos animated logo (The looping part)

Can you provide Logs?

Wish I could. USB debugging isn't enabled during this time of the boot, so I cannot fetch any logcat.

Are you encrypted?

No.

Why are you only reporting it now after over half a year that it wasn't working?

As I've been trying to update, I kept believing that I'm doing something wrong myself.

Each time I tried update, it got stuck and with that it ended up with me rolling back to the one I know was working for me. 20180311

At those times I just gave up and planned to try again another time.

This time however, I was in need to update as some time has passed so I'm giving it a "deep dive".

I do suspect that TWRP 3.1.1 might be to be blamed here. I just haven't found any later build, and the TWRP I've tried to build myself isn't working at all.

So my first step is to get a TWRP 3.2.1 or later going, and see what I can do from there on.

Sadly there are no official TWRP builds for this device. Have to rely on third parties/individuals to provide those. (The Xperia Z5 series are known to be falling behind, as it have lost some good devs due to some political turmoil.)
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] Klaus N.:
You have to flash the latest stock firmware before switching to Carbon. The mentioned fw is not the latest ;)
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] SysGhost:
This is not the case. Thanks anyhow.

It was as I suspected, and once I got to update TWRP to 3.2.1, everything went just fine. To doublecheck I downgraded TWRP to 3.1.1 again, and I was in the same loop as before.

The mentioned stock firmware is up to date enough to get LineageOS and other 7.1.2 based ROMs going. It was the one I once flashed to get LineageOS in the first time.

Anyway. Now everything works, and with the latest builds of Lineage OS, TWRP 3.2.1 or later is required. Going from stock 32.3.A.2.33 or later works fine.

I got the latest working TWRP for Xperia Z5 from here: https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/twrp-3-1-0-z5-z5c-z5p-t3571050
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] arslanon.e:
With the latest build, every time I try to open Sound in Settings, the Settings app crashes.

I've booted to TWRP and cleared cache.

No dice. I have two SIMs inserted.
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] arslanon.e:
Found the culprit. It was an app called SimpleFileManager. The following log entry gave the hint:

Hi

Just installed the latest version, it seems very smooth and bug-free, thanks to the devs.

However, maximum resolution in camera is 8.3mp. Any ideas?

I'm using gapps super pack.
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] PHiDi:
Lineage Camera App works with full resolution 24mp, all others just have 8mp.
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] reza_v:
It's been 3 days since I installed the latest build. Overall, I had a great experience and I can't see any reason or issue that makes me want to go back to stock.

However, there are some minor issues that I want to point out. The auto brightness function seems to be a little off. It's too aggressive and its range is far from the slider selection. For instance, if my hand casts the smallest shadow on the sensor, it would promptly decrease the brightness. Also, the brightness doesn't stick to the slider selection and occasionally gets too bright or too deem.

Furthermore, the manual brightness slider isn't calibrated, it's as if the first 20% of the slider controls 70% of the brightness. It also seems to be the case for sound slider.

Regarding the heat and battery issues that many are concerned about, first of all, I didn't experienced any abnormal heat that i wouldn't have had in stock. Second of all, choosing "Efficiency" as my performance profile and disabling automatic optimization make my battery last as long as the stock (maybe a little bit longer).
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] smrodek11:
I've just installed latest nightly build and it works great. One thing which makes me sad is that initial setup didn't ask me to select previous device to restore backup (I see backups on Google drive from my stock rom of the same device, but I can't manually restore it.). I've installed nano gapps. Should I install stock gapps?
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] hemre2:
I just found a bug. Date is not correct. When a notification comes it says that 48 years ago too.some part of device has correct date. Some of them not correct
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] n.goasguen:
I've been testing the ROM about 4 days now and I can say it's really smooth. No bug to declare.

I use Naptime to avoid standby drain, giving approximately a bit more than 3 hours SOT (a bit under 3 hours with stock).

I really prefer LineageOS to stock, thanks for that :highfive:
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] reza_v:
Speaking of battery drain, in my case a lot of the battery drain was because of pixel launcher! I installed nova launcher and my SOT went up by one hour (now more than 3 hours).
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] Ayriksa:
only the video recording sound level is too low
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] nrlbdry:

Hello everybody do I need to install gapps with every update ??

Or only with first time??

Do I need to do complete wipe with the update or no ???

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] reza_v:
Hi

You don't need to install gapps with every update, unless there's a big jump in LOS, like from 14.1 to 15. However, people usually recommend to update gapps every few month, but I myself rather install only the essentials with gapps and install everything else from play store.

The same goes for doing a wipe, unless you're facing a bug or an issue, you don't need to do that.
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] hany ahmed79:
Is the FM radio and finger print scanner working properly on this rom ?
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] Plonkplonk:
Unlocking by fingerprint works fine. Didn't try FM radio with the latest build but I already used it before and found it working well.

Edit: Listened to my favourite fm-station last night, thus working fine.
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] saiz136:
How is the battery usage compare to stock? Also occurrence of random reboots and other small bugs?
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] arslanon.e:
Extremely stable, no crashes at all. Random reboots? Pfft. It's Lineage baby.

Battery time: hmm, I used to have 1.5 days easily (email, WhatsApp, calls that's it) with 3 of the big cores powered off, and 1 big core set to NOT always on. There is a thread on xda how to do that.

Without the above tweaks, the battery time is not great. For example, with lots of Youtube (2 hours), 1 8 hours? With 1 hour SOT, a day perhaps.

Just one real issue: on video recording, the audio is recorded extremely low, almost can't hear.
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] saiz136:
If there's an issue with video recording audio can it be fix with other cam recording apps? Is there any other issues with the microphone? Like calling? Because usually I don't intend to record video, but I use calls a lot.
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] arslanon.e:
Hm. Well, good idea, but I never tried a different cam app, because I rarely use the camera.

The mic in all other uses is great. The voice clarity during calls is exceptional; but that's a Z5 thing, not Lineage related. I find Z5 to have a great call quality (both ends of the conversation) compared to many phones by other manufacturers.

Hi. I have a problem with Google pay on lineageos. But nfc work normal. Anyone have the same problem? Or maybe anyone knows how to resolve this one?
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] arslanon.e:
Google pay works fine. I've used it.
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] GeorgianGreek:
Hmm

It's very strange, because Google pay works fine on stock ROM. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] balrajs99:
Is the VoLTE patched into rom now? Been on stock since unavailability of VoLTE.
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] Devo7v:
I've had this same problem on all the LOS-based ROMs I've tried for the Z5. NFC world normally, but it seems with Google Pay, it just never gets activated. If have no idea what's going on other than to say that Google Pay can't "see" NFC to activate it. I would love to know if anybody has it working and what they have done to do so.

Report on significant battery drain from constant Notification Pulse Light

[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION]

Ive been using LineageOS lineage-14.1-20180825-nightly-sumire-signed.zip on E6683 for the passed 3months and this is what I have found out.

1. My battery was already ****, so i bought a brand new one and fully charged it in the beginning of the 3months when started to use lineageOS.

2. Over night, the battery would drain quite fast, eg. from 50% at night to 10% in the morning.

3. I decided to switch off the notification pulse completely and saw a significant increase in battery life after that.

My question is, why on earth would there be a setting for a constant light pulse without any notifications on the phone? Because currently that's what happens if its enabled. It will pulse constantly without there being any message on my phone or any notification. Whereas i would only like it to pulse if there is a message or notification. (im sure im not the only one that thinks this is the logical way to go)

I also think if there was an option to disable the 2nd sim card like it is in the Sony STOCK ROM, it would also increase battery life.

On an unrelated topic, currently the dialer, when dialing a previous dialed number does not search up the number from dialed history, instead user needs to redial it.

PS: appreciate the work you been doing for us.
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] lopra:
So my Z5's microphones don't seem to—neither calling nor voice recording—work half the time,. I reboot and they work fine, then after some time they stop working. I've noticed this issue for at least 2 months, before that the mics were working properly. Back then it didn't pose much of a problem to me, but now I'm making more calls.
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] arslanon.e:
I'll just say I've been using my Z5 for a year on LOS and calls are great.

Supports model E6603?
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] J.Holden:
I am experiencing some weird behaviour that I can't find any solution for. I just flashed the latest nightly after having the phone running with the OEM rom for some time now (got it just recently) and when using it for a bit I get a black screen when for instance pushing the home button or switching apps.

The backlight is still on, even the phone itself is responding to touch and button pushing. But it won't display anything up until I left it alone for a while, it justgoes back to normal after a few minutes.

Has anyone experienced a behaviour like this? I didn't have any issues while being in recovery or while using the outdated OEM rom.
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] Tickle.:
Hi guys,

I'd like to know (as i'm until now, a stock based Rom user) if the MMS are working automatically on AOSP ?

To be precise, on stock firmware, the MMS are sent/received without mobile data activate because the message app turn it on and off by itself, just the time needed for upload or download the MMS.

I'm really fan of this feature and don't want to lose it.

Thanks for your answers !

Or does anyone know about an unofficial build for 7.1 for the sumire?
[Xperia Z5 Original Android Development] Phil122789:
Sadly, the Z5 was my last Sony phone too. I ended up switching to the Moto G7 Power. Great phone for the price and Moto phones usually have good custom rom support.

Wanted to share my experience with /e/-rom for the sumire Z5. Its fully supported and maintained.

It’s a great rom for everybody who was running a google-free Lineage/Microg environment.

It’s a fork of Lineage and already comes bundled with microg and other useful stuff like an AppStore. The focus of /e/ is mainly on data privacy and avoiding google stuff.

If you don’t like the launcher simply install e.g. Nova Launcher. It is maintained and contains the latest security patches from Google. They even offer a Cloud based on OwnCloud to sync your Calendar and Contacts to if you don’t want to install your own.

So I would highly recommend to install it cause its patched and updated regularly.

Because XPERIA Z5 is no longer maintained by LOS Team, I built an unofficial LineageOS-based ROM (LOS 14.1).

I followed the instructions on the official link (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/sumire/build) without adding anything more. The blobs have been extracted from the latest official build (lineage-14.1-20190224-nightly-sumire-signed.zip).

Download:

lineage-14.1-20191025-UNOFFICIAL-sumire.zip (and md5su file): https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=301213&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC

==> The latest changes of LOS 14.1: https://www.lineageoslog.com/14.1

Official LOS addon SU (arm64) : https://download.lineageos.org/extras

Open GAPPs (arm 64): pico or nano is strongly recommended.

This unofficial build requires a clean flash if you come from the official one.

You can use Migrate app (Migrate - custom ROM migration tool - Google play) for the migration:

==> https://www.xda-developers.com/migrate-app-switch-custom-roms/

Note this build has been tested on a Sony_Xperia_Z5_E6653 and no sweat for a daily driver.

I will try to build monthly for sumire… Hope so !

That's great, thx for building latest LOS.

Some sugestion which I'm using for my own builds.

I'm using these autobrightness values:

https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/de...rameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml

This improves autobrightness a lot, otherwise it jumps very chaotic between to dark and to bright.

I'm using blobs from the latest official rom, I think they are newer - they work fine on LOS.

Pls sign your bulds for security reasons.

I think you should create a new thread for your builds.
