[Xperia SP Original Android Development] mahesh911:
For every rom I just use normal opengapps (8.0 only available) and edit install.sh inside gapps nd flash just like mentioned in the first page.. Fcs are only during setup wizard and then it's done... Loads up d rom nd everything normal... So far never encountered any problem.

And rooted with latest v16magisk and just experimenting most of substratum themes as usual.

Will LineageOS 15.1 arise for Xperia SP?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] feromgar:
Not for now. Adrian is working on it too, though.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] jmjxperia:
Can we expect Lineage 15.1 based on Android Go for this device? Android Go is the right choice for this device
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] globe79:
You can't expect anything until it's done. Go read Adrians post, get the low RAM enabler and flash it from TWRP. All you can do for now to boost huashan:)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] AdrianDC:
I work on (and build) LineageOS 15.0 / 15.1 since August, the same way as my AOSP Oreo releases.

However until recently, it was not worth releasing both AOSP and LineageOS until everything was done,

especially given the fact my AOSP releases are quite filled with additional features that I considered worth porting / using / having.

My LineageOS releases are being tested by test users I know on the 4 devices (SP / T / TX / V),

I'll see when I decide to release them here as well, which depends on my highly limited free time.

Since last week, I'm using LineageOS 15.1 on a daily basis instead of AOSP Oreo, to finalize the proper testings.

Concerning the remaining main point, camcorder is still a work in progress and takes most of my little free time.

The status is equal between AOSP and LineageOS of course.

Since AOSP Nougat, my devices sources for all Huashan (SP) and Blue (T / TX / V) devices are unified between AOSP and LineageOS.

Therefore I release AOSP with Go configs, and LineageOS is built with Go exactly the same way.

How much performance and free ram Low Ram Property brings to this rom?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] scruffy1:
adrian, can you please comment on the power drain overhead of the lpw ram enabler

my experience is 36hrs standby using it vs over a week without, with similar low use pattern

what does the low ram patch actually "do" in terms of benefit ?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] vinaysulanki85:
Opengapps for Android 8.1 now available :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] AdrianDC:
I made my LineageOS 15.1 public on XDA : https://xdaforums.com/-/-/-t3758221

The status is be rather equal to the AOSP Oreo 8.1.0 releases.

As mentioned in the thread, do not upgrade an OFFICIAL 14.1 release to UNOFFICIAL 15.1.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] globe79:
Do not join any networks after first boot! Ommit.... skip... skip....as many steps as possible just to complete the first run. You'll add accounts later! I did it many times! Be patient!

After a while I assume it to be about 120 MB. From 650 occupied to 530 most the time. Perhaps worth the boost not the exact amounts...

After initial disbelief, now I can confirm! You are right. CPU is not idling properly. I can observe ~15%/4h loss of battery power.

Dear Adrian, I know that camcorder sounds important... I know it is all about new HAL and you treat it as a point of honour, but we can live with that.

Do you know what is causing manual mobile network scans to fail? Can we assist you with that?

Try with magisk 15
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tossox:
Try to install bootbridged magisk zip from directory without spaces (New Folder (2) have space). And if you want modules, install them after first boot.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] eric.ger.01:
Same error for me,even with the directory without spaces.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] LaRazón:
Why is it named Magisk-XperiaSP.zip anyway? Or am I missing something here (distinct possibility)? Also, are you using the latest TWRP? e. ...is this the right thread for this?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tossox:
I think you bad placed magisk into bootbridge zip or you archive program is bad for this. I prepared this for you
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Haxk20:
Well I don't like magisk much but I flashed it on clean flash and it worked. Then I deleted the ROM from my SDcard. MultiROM is great thing.

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] SRG1608:
does this rom support NTFS and exFAT sdcard?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Haxk20:
Yes it probably does. You need to try but since NTFS and exFAT support is in the kernel then i t should support it.

Or just test it.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ssjoker:
Yes my SD is NTFS and all is well

________________________________

My sd card was formatted by my Bro and i checked it is fat32

sorry for this worng post
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] SRG1608:
Thank you guys for reply.

I tried this ROM but when I insert the NTFS SD card it says SD card is corrupt!

And xperia sp have to format SD card to read it.

How could this possible?

Is it possible to change kernel?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Haxk20:
If it says its corrupted that doesn't mean its not recognized. If it was not supported it would not show it at all.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] SRG1608:
So what should I do?

i tried witch a different sd cart and still it says your sd cart is corrupt.

but when i format my sd card to FAT32 it works perfectlly
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Haxk20:
Did you try formatting it to NTFS (Format in Linux or windows).

And pluging into phone again.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] SRG1608:
Yes I did .still says SD card is corrupted.

I tried installing aosp 7.1 and still says corrupted.

I remember in android 6 XOSP my phone had fully access to NTFS and exFAT.

Is there some sort of app or mod to install and it make my phone access NTFS?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Haxk20:
As I look at it ssjoker has no issue using NTFS. And even why NTFS its still better to have them FAT32 so its compatible surely. Maybe post logcat here when you plug in the SD and right after that take the logcat. That can help us see the issue.

Hi.

In the next update, could you add the focus function to the camera button?

I'm looking forward to the next update! :D
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] gorillanobka:
"focus function to the camera button?" As in...?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Docmine7:
Google Translate...

Use the two-stage camera key, for focus and shutter release.

Similar to stock rom. :crying:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] AdrianDC:
New April release available with properly working camcorder!

Please read the last changelog carefully.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] scruffy1:
should this be a clean install ?

or is dirty okay ?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] gorillanobka:
I will let you know, I will try them both.

So far it's only me who has downloaded it.

Hurry up and be number 2 :):D

EDIT: [MENTION=6854544]scruffy1[/MENTION]

Dirty is OK, i just did it. You're good to go mate.

By the way the camera works a treat. That green vertical line that appeared when you were recording with the selfie camera is now gone.

Thanks you Adrian

When swiping through pictures in camera app, the picture is flickering for me, does anyone else too facing the same :( might only be happening with me.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] vinaysulanki85:
Flickering while swiping pics in camera app

Steps to reproduce

1) Open camera app

2) Swipe towards left to view the captured clicks

3) Single tap on the picture, to make it full screen

4) Swipe again towards left to navigate to next picture, picture starts flickering.

5) Only the last picture is not flickering

It really is amazing that you are already thinking about Android P for Xperia SP! :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] DahakePL:
Adrian is kind of like a God of XDA, he's known on multiple forums.

Because of him, I bought Xperia SP again.

If not for people like him there wouldn't be a reason to flash custom roms.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] gorillanobka:
Nope, you're not the only one, I can confirm it happens to me too.

But to be honest I don't really care.

As long as he keeps the sound levels high so we can hear loud notifications on the street it's all good. :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Haxk20:
From what I can say from his github then he already booted it up. Of course without UI changes since those are not released yet.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] LaRazón:
Thank you Adrian! Updated today and everything appears to be in order, camcorder working great as well. In fact, it seems as if the overall responsiveness/fluency has improved a bit for each update.

Very close to switching permanently from Z3 Compact (MM, last update May 2016) to SP. The Custom ROMs for Z3c do not seem as refined as this one.

Btw, is it advisable to use the SD card as adoptable storage? Suppose I'll eventually give it a try, 8GB isn't that much after all.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] HTCHD2NEW:
Hi. I love this ROM but I'd like to de-Google and use Micro-G. I've tried TIngle and Xposed methods and neither is successful. I would really appreciate some easy-to-follow advice :)

Thanks in advance - sorry if I have posted in the wrong place.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] gorillanobka:
If you want to "degoogle" the best way is not to use any gapps at all.

That's the best "degoogle" ever.

If you want apps you can use raccoon to download them from the playstore.

It's 2018 and raccoon has been around for a long time by now.

You can actually get away with not using google apps.

Most of the apps DON'T NEED GAPPS (Facebook HAS HAD AN UPDATER BUILT IN FOR QUITE A WHILE BY NOW) they can all sync and do their thing.

Whatsapp, Skype Facebok messanger Facebook and so on.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] HTCHD2NEW:
Thanks.. I have been using my phone without any 'Gapps' but my banking and some apps that need an in-app Bluetooth connection have been complaining about Google Framework etc. I was hoping to find something of a compromise :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Vinifera:
got maybe noobish question

but how does Xperia SP benefit from anything above andr 4.4 ?

especialy with current 8.1

i mean except maybe "API level" to use some locked apps to higher than 4.3

but hardware is ... outdated (yes i use this phone thats why i ask)

any enlightement ? :P
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Godecki:
Well, the list would probably be really long if you'd like all the features to be listed. I'll mention the ones that I consider important or significant.

- Material design - KitKat 4.4.4 is the last version of Android before Material design kicked in, so your UI will now have an up-to-date modern look

- Security patches - as 4.4 is 4,5 years old you're missing out on crucial security updates

- Notification panel with Quick settings - it was introduced with Material design and for me it's quite a must-have feature, as you have your most important settings two swipes away (or one if you use two fingers simuntaneously :) )

- Split-screen mode - introduced with 7.0 Nougat, as simple as it sounds. It let's you use two apps at the same time where the screen is split into two windows

- Doze - a feature which was first seen with 6.0 Marshmallow. It basically is a software thing that helps you to save battery when the phone is not in use. It is somehow linked to Greenify. These are trying to do the same thing to simplify

- App permisions - if you are familiar with them, just skip this point. If not, the permissions were introduced with Marshmallow and this feature let's you decide, which app can have the access to the camera, mic, storage, etc. If you'd like to keep your privacy, you can disable for example location access for some apps that use it. Note that some apps require some permissions to run properly

- Heads up/Pop up notifications - introduced with 5.0 Lollipop, it makes the notofications pop up on the top of the screen when you are using your phone, so you dont have to bring down the notofication panel to see what's going on

- Notification importance - you can take control of every app's notofications. In Lollipop you could disable the notifications for apps, I believe. This was significantly improved with Nougat as there you could set the importance for every app's notification. There are 5 importance modes. On oreo there are so called notification channels. They are categories of notifications. For example if an app displays two kinds on notification, let's say a permanent one and a regular pop-ups, you can just disable one of the categories if you'd like to

- Quick reply - introduced with Nougat, it let's you reply directy through the notification. For example, when you get a message you don't have to open your messaging app. You can just hit the Reply button on the notification and type

There are many many more improvements and additional features (e.g. Notification dots), but these are the most crucial for me. Apart from that, there are lots of under-the-hood improvements that simply help the system to run faster and smoother. Note that every new version of Android comes with some major improvements and there is a long story between KitKat and Oreo.

Maybe someone could update the list with other powerful features :) I hope this helps :D
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Vinifera:
yeh, thats what I thought :P

basically nothing haha, at least on HW level enhancement

I'd be for it if camera app or is it API, could be made to snap as good and fast as Samsungs S6

and simmiliar, but all this that you listed is more for "get infoed all time"

everything else you can manage with rooted 4x and 3 apps :P
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Godecki:
Well, of course root gives you many possibilities, but why be bothered with it? Remember that as an quite old device the SP has limited resources. Why bother the phone with apps when you can have so many things made by the system? :) As I mentioned, Android upgrades are there to make it better. I once used CM 11 on my SP which happens to be KitKat, but I think that this Oreo build completly outperforms it. Maybe not speed-wise as the SP is just old, but convenience-wise. For me, custom ROMs are the thing that gives me possibility which in this case Sony can't. Also for example when I was on 6.0.1 on SP I was using split-screen, notification tiles where I could already have two or three pages of them - this features were introduced officialy in Nougat though. So, the newest build is here to help you :) and this custom ROM gives you even more features than stock Oreo. It's incredible that we can have this version on Android on 2013 Xperia SP. It's a great experience for me :) I hope I convinced you :P
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Vinifera:
well rooting 4x is alot easier than flashing and erasing phone (and hoping nothing gets bad)

beside i haven't seen yet any andr.version to provide firewall (which rooting actually allows you)

same goes for system junk uninstallement

same goes for ad-blocking

and whole system-file-browser (handy for backups)

if these modified rom's make this, sure go for it :)

im all for supporting ancient phones, as I don't see need to buy every year new one...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Godecki:
You are right but there are many other things that your ROM itself can do instead of installing apps :D I support old phones too, I even have the HTC Dream in perfect condition :D
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ozgurkinaci:
Well, this and other ROMs come without system junk (you can choose the ROM which has good features, not the ones which seem to have "junk" features).

You can root and install any app you want.

And you cannot brick a Sony.

It's your decision, use whatever ROM (including stock 4.4 that you currently have).

But thanks to Adrian, for many of us, 4.4 is just an old memory.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Vinifera:
bit confused with this, what do you mean ?

also you said, "why root and install apps when system can do things for you"

but isn't that exactly the point of rooting ? - to have apps that DO on SYSTEM level ?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Godecki:
You are right! What I mean is for example - why install an app to keep the screen awake if you can have such a function in-built with the ROM. Features that are part of the ROM are usually more reliable and work smoother than the same features obtained via additional apps.
