Can you make a android go rom for Sony Xperia e3!!!
[Sony Xperia E3] greenlabel:
Hi guys! First of all really thanks to developer, this little device really needed a second chance!

That said, I need your suggest.

I just installed v2.1, kernel and Rom (I choose this for battery(, and camera does not work.

Can you suggest me what to do to have it working? Change kernel? Switch to v2? Flash something?

I read all the topic, but I'm really confused on what is the best to do.

Thanks in advance.

For now there's no way to get camera working, at least if I'm not wrong ROM v3 have camera work, but you can't save it directly to storage, so try to use it on social media camera like IG,WhatsApp or etc. Take a photo and directly upload.

But that only temporary work, so I'm not promised that will work correctly, cause sometimes it's still random.
[Sony Xperia E3] mocibra:
sorry for asking again but somehow i can't update magisk to new version always back to v15.3. can someone explain it step by step :):):) i'm running on LOS.v3 thx :o:o:o
[Sony Xperia E3] pressplays:
This rom looks cool and nice but I'm having two problems with it, the first is my wi fi connection dropping while I'm using apps like Youtube, Chrome or mobile games. The second problem is that a mobile game, most specifically Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, keeps closing after some minutes of running. It seems these issues are due the lack of enough RAM on device, prior I use this rom I used to run these same apps on stock rom and wi fi never dropped or that game never closed alone, because Kit Kat didn't consume the same amount of RAM that Nougat consumes.
[Sony Xperia E3] Sulejman.H.:
Flash v3, after the phone boots, in developer options enable advanced reboot, and then when you turn on your device, soft reboot it afterwards and camera works :)
[Sony Xperia E3] zorzibaffo:
Hello,

Many thanks for this rom.

I'm trying to get the camera to work, following tips seen here.

- Default camera works for a few seconds after soft reboot, until I take one photo. I cannot save it.

- Concerning suggested app Cameringo, I see two apps in playstore: one freeware (Cameringo Lite), and the other shareware (non free). Which one should be used ? Freeware doesn't work/correct camera trouble.

EDIT: I managed to get Camerigo Lite working, though I did not really understand how. Reboot, soft reboot... I'm a little bit lost...

Thanks
[Sony Xperia E3] minixman:
Go to setting --> about phone

---> pres -- Build number --- repeat 3 more times

get debug mode --- enabled

in the menu --- enable --- soft reboot--- exit

reboot --- soft reboot that's it. check camera working well

if u turn off mobile -repeat it.

all done.
[Sony Xperia E3] zorzibaffo:
Thanks for explanations and detailing precise steps. It works now.
[Sony Xperia E3] zorzibaffo:
short battery

After many weeks of use, I did not keep this rom and reverted to stock rom.

Main problem was battery leak. I had gone from 3/4 days battery (stock rom) duration to 24 hours duration (with lineageos).

So I reinstalled stock rom. After some searches, I may consider older custom roms like CyanogenMod 11. Anyway, thanks guys for what you provided.

I can't use magisk in v3 because of invalid safetynet response.
[Sony Xperia E3] Nicklas Van Dam:
Which magisk version do you use? 15.3?
[Sony Xperia E3] Clearia:
LOS 3 magisk is only 15.2. It seems need to upgrade. But this system Development seems discontinued.

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

Magisk's img needs to upgrade.

https://twitter.com/topjohnwu/status/1029028105501831168

SafetyNet API seems to be completely down on Google's side. I've tested on a 100% stock, bootloader locked device and still get SafetyNet request failures.

Can anyone confirm this?
[Sony Xperia E3] acewing905:
Got LOSv3 installed and working. Grabbed Magisk Manager 5.5.4 from Github and enabled root. Many thanks to the person who came up with this release. Will be useful to me for certain things.

However, on my D2212, looks like phone functionality is dead. Won't read SIM cards.

This is not a big deal for me since this is an ancient phone I don't use for actual phone features, but I figured I'd mention that. Anyone else who had the same problem?
[Sony Xperia E3] Nicklas Van Dam:

No go, unfortunately.
[Sony Xperia E3] Nicklas Van Dam:
Did your baseband version on about phone was recognized?
[Sony Xperia E3] acewing905:
I just checked. It's not recognized.

Unfortunately I have no clue what I can do about this. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

EDIT: Scratch that. Seems it does recognize after flashing RIL. I forgot to do this after my latest fresh flashing.
[Sony Xperia E3] Nicklas Van Dam:
Good if your problem already solved, flamingo for 3G version need to flash separate RIL fixer after flash ROM to initialize they RIL functionality. Somehow, this ROM was built for 4G version and adapt it for all version with old bootloader.
[Sony Xperia E3] acewing905:
Sorry, I failed to explain properly.

Before flashing RIL, it doesn't recognize baseband or IMEIs. After flashing RIL, it does.

However under both situations, the SIM card isn't detected.
[Sony Xperia E3] Nicklas Van Dam:
So baseband was recognized but your sim card wasn't detected? Before you're flash lineage, are you sure you already on latest update for flamingo?
[Sony Xperia E3] acewing905:
Yes, baseband is recognized after flashing RIL, but the SIM card is still not detected.

There were no updates, no. Was on the Kitkat 4.4.4 update, which was the last one available for my phone.

And the SIM card was definitely working on that.

Strange situation. But like I said before, it's not very important. Thanks for trying to help, though. I'm open to any suggestions to try out on this.
[Sony Xperia E3] Akibtech:
After install magisk device not booting
[Sony Xperia E3] Akibtech:

[Sony Xperia E3] Nicklas Van Dam:
Never install or flash magisk from twrp, install currently boot.img with included twrp and magisk, then you're safe.

If you want to upgrade magisk, then patch your current boot.img using magisk manager then flash it using twrp (img flasher) or using any available method to flash it directly to your boot partition.

I can't take 4.9M picture in cameringo lite.
[Sony Xperia E3] arcovk:
it does not work for me in all ways including soft restart :( photos are not saved!
[Sony Xperia E3] rmnhg:
In Cameringo Lite I can take photos of 0.3 and 1.3MP of resolution. Videos too.

There's a problem in Camera or OMX HALs which makes that photos and videos production fail. I've been following the errors to find the specific issue, but until now I haven't figured out when does it crash.
[Sony Xperia E3] rmnhg:
Camera now looks like it's fixed:

Photos and videos works in both cameras in all the apps I tested.

IMPORTANT: in Snap to take photos with back camera you have to disable Noise Reduction first as it is not supported by our device and camera HAL hangs if it's enabled. In Snap too in front camera changing some picture options may make the app crash, but the rest is fine. On Open Camera and Cameringo I haven't noticed any problem, but test by yourself and report back.

As I can't build a LineageOS update zip right now I have created a flashable zip. Flash it on top of latest LineageOS version.

[Sony Xperia E3] LVArturs:
I tried feeding the Magisk Manager 7.5.1 both the TWRP, that's in the Google Drive together with this rom, and a backup of boot partition, made with TWRP and renamed to boot.img. I tried both Flashtool and TWRP image to flash Magisk 20.3 + twrp/boot backup + various combinations of the three advanced settings options in the Manager, flashing to both boot and recovery sections. The result was always either endlessly freezing on Sony logo or bootlooping on Sony logo.

Manager 6.1.0 is the latest that works with Magisk 15.2.
[Sony Xperia E3] LVArturs:
This ROM is good. Better than stock-based, since there aren't very many special features that lack ports on this phone. Also, a 200gb SD card works on this, but didn't (said it's corrupted, even though TWRP could read everything at the same time) on a stock based ROM. From what I gathered, it seems that overclocking doesn't work on stock, but works on Lineage - courtesy of the Matsuura Kernel - giving a stable, non-overheating 33% boost to the stock frequency. Xposed, changing the DPI in Developer Settings, Snap camera with the latest patch (there was a weird thing where a kernel wakelock named video1 ran all night, heating up the phone and consuming 2/3 of a full charge - I think it was because I tried and crashed the original camera app. Fixed by installing Snap and rebooting), increasing Zram through SmartPack Kernel Manager (don't know if it improves anything) - most of the stuff works. You can't repartition the system partition smaller (tried multiple sizes) before flashing, though. But you can make apps into system apps with Lucky Patcher or Titanium Backup, claiming the space this way (Titanium freezes after moving every single app, so I recommend using the former).

What's my biggest peeve is the lag on receiving root access from Magisk for various apps, like Total Commander or Titanium Backup. It's a second or two, but it gets annoying in a file manager, because it happens on every new directory, every refresh. I don't know whether it's a hardware limitation or a Magisk bug, since I can't test newer Magisk versions, as explained in my previous post.

Also, there's a terminal installed, but it doesn't show up in app lists, and even if I manage to get to its app info the enabling button doesn't work. Guess I'll install Termux later on.

Satisfying stuff overall.
[Sony Xperia E3] UCyborg:
You have to enable it in developer options.

Regarding the issue with dalvik-cache folder wasting space, despite optimized files already being present on /system partition, I managed to trim it to 67 MB size by and made it read-only - I did this from the terminal:

su

chattr +i /data/dalvik-cache/arm

I didn't find any other way to stop the OS from writing to it. The downside of this method is that it'll bootloop if you reboot, it has to be writable during boot.

Also, the bundled browser has an issue with videos. When exiting the fullscreen mode, the site that was viewed becomes invisible, just pure whiteness. That instance of the browser has to be closed as it's useless from that point onward.
[Sony Xperia E3] rmnhg:
A release is rolling out! V4 (2020-01-23):

Changes:

Recovery is now independent from Boot partition! Now you should flash recovery image to FOTAKernel using fastboot (fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery.img) or to "recovery" partition using TWRP. With this measure you can flash any Magisk version without waiting us to update boot.img.*

Camera fully working now! Torch also works. The only thing you can not do is to enable Noise Reduction on Snap as it is not supported on Stock ROM, but the rest should be fine with all apps.

Bluetooth and WiFi addresses are now fine. They should be the same as the stock ones.

Compass may work better.

Remember that if you are using a 3G variant (D2202/D2212) you may need to flash an additional zip with firmware blobs to get SIM card working. Link in the main post.

We hope you enjoy this build! ?

EDIT 09/02/20: It looks like I accidentally messed up sensors on V4 because of some permissions changes.

We are working to fix it but until then, if you need sensors, flash V3 again.

Sorry for the inconvenience

EDIT 14/02/2020: on v4.1 sensors are working again :).

*About recovery: as our device does not have any recovery partition by default. We are using FOTAKernel partition to host recovery files as other Sony devices do.

This partition is big enough for a recovery image and its original purpose is to run OTAs on stock ROM, but after unlocking bootloader it is no longer useful so we can use it as recovery.

This partition is the same partition that recovery uses on Open Device Bootloader with the only difference that stock bootloader does not launch recovery boot as Open Device bootloader does. We do this job with some scripts on boot image.

---------- Post added at 18:22 ---------- Previous post was at 18:14 ----------

This ROM is being developed and tested working with Selinux on Permissive mode, so switching it to Enforcing may cause several problems.

For now we have no plans of turning it into Enforcing as we do not find it very necessary, but who knows in future.

Hi, First of all I would like to thank you [MENTION=7106308]infus38[/MENTION], [MENTION=6353833]rmnhg[/MENTION] and many others who have contributed to this rom. I have tried installing LOSv4 and LOSv3 but received error "Zip file corrupt" when flashing LINEAGEOS zip using TWRP. Right now I am only successful flashing LOSv2 but still cannot install Gapps using TWRP and getting the same error. My device is D2203 and have followed instructions from the first page. I have done wipe, flashed the stock FTF file using Flash tool, formatted the SD card using TWRP but still getting the error. Does anyone have the same problem?
[Sony Xperia E3] rmnhg:
Check you browser or the program you use to open zips. Any of them might be corrupting the zips.

LOSv2 is probably not failing as it is not a zip file, but a partition image file (.img).

You can also try to restore TWRP config (I guess you can do this deleting /sdcard/TWRP/.twrp file) and try again.

Good luck
[Sony Xperia E3] Italord:
After 2 weeks testing the latest build, I'm gonna let my impressions and experience with this rom here.

Pros:

+ Camera is fixed, no more need for soft rebooting and using cameringo

+ Battery duration is bigger now, no more draining to death like before

+ Magisk is finally working, thanks.

Cons:

- AudioFX has stopped working everytime I tried to play some media with sound, so I uninstalled it with Link2SD to solve the problem

- Overheating isn't gone, my device still randomly gets overheated, sometimes it will not overheat after a intense use of some app like YouTube, but sometimes it will ovearheat after receiving a call or even while idling

- Random reboots are happening, the same way from the case above, sometimes the device will randomly reboot even while idling

- Apps that save their credentials on settings > accounts are not saving them, I log on those apps, and after I close and reopen them, I need log in again. That's really a nuisance cuz I can't use Reddit and Soundcloud properly.

I'd really love to keep using this V4.1 build but I can't, my device is becoming almost unusable because of those random reboots and overheatings.
[Sony Xperia E3] rmnhg:
What model do you have? I have not experienced any random reboot using a D2203 variant.

I also have tested using SoundCloud and Twitter and I had no problems with credentials saving on Settings after closing and reopening the apps.

Check your ROM, you may have some corruption or issues on /data which causes those problems.
[Sony Xperia E3] Italord:
My device is D2212 Dual variant, I already re-flashed the ROM, wiped data, cache, dalvik cache and the problems persisted. I'll re-download the ROM and re-flash it one more time, and after some tests I'm gonna reply if the problems are gone or not.
[Sony Xperia E3] IndyUK:
Hi

Great ROM, works really well and is smooth, however. I do seem to have trouble trying to get Root access working. I tried setting the option through the Developer mode but it doesn't work. I then tried Magisk and no luck there. Finally tried SuperSU and still not working. Am I missing something? I just want to uninstall AudioFX because it keeps crashing. I have the Sony D2203 variant.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia E3] rmnhg:
Hello. Are you using latest LineageOS version (v4.1) with separate recovery in FOTAKernel? You need that in order to be able to flash latests Magisk versions (unless you flash an older boot image with Magisk support, but you would need to downgrade Magisk as well, thing that I do not recommend).

If you flash latest Magisk with LineageOS v4.1 and recovery in FOTAKernel, you just need to download Magisk zip from their GitHub page, reboot to recovery, flash it and reboot.

If you want to use LineageOS default su binary, you need to download and flash https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/su/addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip from recovery to get root working with all apps, since this ROM contains a minimal su binary which only works with ADB unless you flash this zip.

If you want to remove this addon su, you can either flash system again or download and flash https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/su/addonsu-remove-14.1-arm-signed.zip from recovery, which will delete this root method.

Good luck
[Sony Xperia E3] katmai01:
Hi,

Just tried v4.1 on my D2203. That seems quite good, thanks for the great work!

BTW I was expecting `fastboot boot recovery.img` to just boot and allow me to

flash the lineage zip any idea why that doesn't work?

Secondly are the sources available somewhere?

Cheers
[Sony Xperia E3] rmnhg:
For any unknown reason, fastboot boot doesn't seem to work in some Sony devices, and our Xperia E3 is one of them sadly. Therefore I suggest you to flash boot.img to boot partition (fastboot flash boot boot.img) and flash recovery.img to FOTAKernel partition (fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery.img) and reboot, pressing the volume buttons repeatedly to boot into recovery and be able to flash the ROM.

About the sources, I made another thread in this forum (in Xperia E3) about how to build it.
[Sony Xperia E3] katmai01:
Thanks found the thread: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-e3/guide-build-lineageos-14-1-flamingo-t3616447 that worked fine.

Did some tests and get the AudioFx issue as well.. it seems like two libraries are broken:

05-13 02:34:59.613 6657 6657 E audio_hw_primary: adev_open: DLOPEN failed for /system/lib/soundfx/libqcomvisualizer.so

05-13 02:34:59.615 6657 6657 E audio_hw_primary: adev_open: DLOPEN failed for /system/lib/soundfx/libqcompostprocbundle.so

This is because they are looking for

void list_init(struct listnode *node);

void list_add_tail(struct listnode *head, struct listnode *item);

void list_add_head(struct listnode *head, struct listnode *item);

void list_remove(struct listnode *item);

functions which are apparently static in Lineage-14.1 (see: system/core/include/cutils/list.h)

Creating a new lib with the function above and linking libqcomvisualizer.so, libqcompostprocbundle.so to it did the trick for me.

Cheers

Oh my God!

You're the best!!! I haven't seen that this version was out yet!

I always believed in you, and that you can! Yes, it took a little time but what could we think? What could we want? Were you our employees? Were you developers from Sony? No, you weren't! And you did this anyway!

I don't know if posts like this follow the rules! But I just need to say thanks and congratulations for your work. Hit the "Thanks!" button is not enough! (I'm sorry! It should be already hit but at that time I didn't know about 'Thanks' and 'thread rating')

I'm still using that version with "unstable" camera (which is a great work!) and I will try this latest version as soon as I can.

Thank you very much!!!

[Edit]

I've posted here about my D2212 that was dead by a lightning struck. Because of your great work (and my first succesful rom flashing) I bought a new D2212 one (it is very cheap now) to use as a backup phone (and sometimes as the main phone xD).
