Hello ;)

I can't install apps other than from the store. I have for example FaceSlim from F-Droid and I can't install it :(

How can I resolve this problem?
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
when i flashed microg to this rom, i couldn't install apk's too. package installer gave me fc and i solved this problem with,

1-) Disabling MicroG Settings (a.k.a Google Settings)

2-) Upgrading MicroG

i didn't tested this with normal gapps, but Google Apk Protection or whatever gives the FC (i think)
[Sony Xperia M2] Sner98:
When uploaded update? :confused:
[Sony Xperia M2] tommytomson:
Where is this option to disable?

How can I upgrade this?

FC? What's this? [emoji39]
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
Settings- Apps- Select Google Settings or MicroG Settings- Disable

and download latest apk and install

FC - Force Close :)
[Sony Xperia M2] tommytomson:
Ooo sh&% I don't know where is this and I don't have MicroG :(

Is this? com.android.settings? :(
[Sony Xperia M2] hooooossamq:
they say maybe in this Monday. just waite
[Sony Xperia M2] tommytomson:
Is it possible to temporarily fix it to be able to install applications from outside the store?
[Sony Xperia M2] iwantz:
I don't know what you've done before,do you install magisk?(afaik,Only magisk causes the problem)

If so, uninstall magisk then you will not have problems with the package installer.
[Sony Xperia M2] mantazzo:
Android Go features enabled? Hm, now I wonder just how much this will help. Looking forward to the nee build.

[Sony Xperia M2] basem_ym:
I'm testing alpha 4 week ago.

Enabled android go rigt after flashing the rom.

Pico gapps.

Latest super su (didnt test magisk until now)

Installed more the 15 apps (fb, messanger, insta, coc ....)

My battery can handle 6 to 7 hours.

More than 17 hours in idle state without greenify.

More than 36 hours with greenify.

My battery is 3.5 years old, battery life is really great.

Charging is faster than los14 too.

No reboots at all.

Havent faced one single lag or glitch until now.

SensorX shows that all sensors are functional.

In the other hand:

Whenever I reboot my phone, time is reset to 1970s.

Hidden wifi issues.

Privacy guard fc all time.

No more issues until now

(I didnt test rom with low ram flag disabled)

Edit:

I forgot to mention that notification led worked on first charge only, sice then it didnt work at all (even with notifications)

Button bar led rarly work too

Edit2:

Notification led works with notifications now, but still dead while charging.

Play store apps didn't sopve the problem.

I will post some logs asap.
[Sony Xperia M2] Ben Wylde:
Does SuperSu also have a workaround for SafetyNet (like for some games)? I usually use Magisk (atm on the latest Resurrection Remix Nougat for the M2) but if that doesn't work so I would have to depend on SuperSU, but I never actually used that but was thinkin' to get on the Oreo train once the next build releases :)
[Sony Xperia M2] mantazzo:
That was not a question, that was an observation from me. Loud thinking, if you prefer that.
[Sony Xperia M2] taghisystem:
hi

after the flash gapps micro on rom i see boot loop .

plz help
[Sony Xperia M2] martindroid:
Go to recovery and wipe data,cache,dalvik cache.

After wiped flash the rom and su addon again.

Don't flash gapps! After the device booted up download one from unofficial gapps and flash it!

its best rom !!! i love this .

but camera does not good !! please work on camera .
[Sony Xperia M2] walkman-610:
Hey. that there with the build?
[Sony Xperia M2] Hrustus:
Since wednesday I'm testing Alpha 4 - wow! I was a little bit scared but for now I am very very happy.

+ very good performance (no lags at all)

+ battery

+ stability

No lags, reboots at all.

Now, I only need root and Magisk and I can sit on this ROM forever. Btw do you have special method for root or just flash SuperSU?
[Sony Xperia M2] hooooossamq:
you can root this room easly..

just search in Google for (( addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip)) and flash it using tw recovery

then the rom will be rooted
[Sony Xperia M2] Hrustus:
14.1? Not 15.1? Thanks!
[Sony Xperia M2] hooooossamq:
yes.you are welcome.
[Sony Xperia M2] Hrustus:
I found weird thing.

Sometimes when I lock phone, Wifi is disconnecting. When i unlock - wi-fi is connecting after a while.
[Sony Xperia M2] leho6694:
I don't have now 15.1, but possibly it's not bug, look on wifi settings, in some ROMs we have option to choose disconnect or not when locked
[Sony Xperia M2] hooooossamq:
when i try to change the home key by replacing the ic_sysbar_home.png in systemui.apk its come so small almost cant see it.why? i did it before withe the LOS 14.1 and its work fine.!! so why its come in a small size in this rom??

Edit: i try to change the network signal too.but its not work too.but its working in LOS 14.1 by replacing some. png files and some in drawable folder.but in this rom its not work.why?
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
beacuse rom is not deodexed (at least that's what i'm thinking)
[Sony Xperia M2] hooooossamq:
so if the rom been deodexed it will work?
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
sadly, you can't deodex oreo (8.1) right now. but devs working on it
[Sony Xperia M2] hooooossamq:
yes i just was trying with C3 toolbox and i see it cant be deodex
[Sony Xperia M2] Pitrecha:
I can not turn on notifications from the app in Mi Fit and

Light Flow. Notifications from calls, sms and batteries work.

This feature does not work? Do I have something wrongly arranged?
[Sony Xperia M2] hooooossamq:
you can use GravityBox in xposed to make lights works.
[Sony Xperia M2] mopide:
Hi! ROM works very good. I don't need video recording ;) but sometimes It takes some time to fill some form.. for example when I want to log in to xda account with Chrome or Stock browser it takes lots of time letters to appear on the screen one by one. It is annoying and it was not present on N based LOS.
[Sony Xperia M2] taghisystem:
hi

i love this room

please add xperia file to this room ( xz 1 & xzp )

thank you
[Sony Xperia M2] hooooossamq:
i hope so too
[Sony Xperia M2] Hrustus:
Hmmm with Wi-Fi is getting weird... It's not only losing connection, sometimes icon shows connection but apps can't connect. Somebody have similar problems?
[Sony Xperia M2] hooooossamq:
there is a new update coming. maybe this weekend. just wait...
[Sony Xperia M2] Hrustus:
I know I know but... It's really weird xD Yesterday all the day I had problem with Wi-Fi. Today? No problem at all xD

1-2 days is everything fine, and then 1-2 days Wi-Fi goes crazy :D

Minor Wi-Fi problems, but ROM stable as hell and fast as Speedy Gonzales. And battery life is a.w.e.s.o.me. At the end of the day i have 30-50% of battery. Before 15.1 I had 10-20%. Gigantic change for better :)
[Sony Xperia M2] leho6694:
Can you explain this?
[Sony Xperia M2] hooooossamq:
open gravity box.go to power tweaks then go down to battery charging led option.
[Sony Xperia M2] hooooossamq:

Update:

Sorry for the delay,you know...life happened :D

About the build:

Green line is presented on both 1080p and 720p recording. Lower resolutions do not even work. That means

front camera cannot record videos.

Leds - [MENTION=4635923]galaxyfreak[/MENTION] will investigate on them.

Timekeep - I got a hint on what it might be wrong,we gonna test some more.

Reboots/Lags/Sensors crashes - We are out of ideas. Simple as that.

As I don't own a M2 anymore,I only build and trying to fix things kinda blindly, [MENTION=4635923]galaxyfreak[/MENTION] tests,reports back and fixes bugs! But we are both busy with our real lifes...so you have to show some patience.
[Sony Xperia M2] f2065:
Are there any KitKat components used in I2C (and sensors)?

I remembered - on D2403 rev5 similarly in 2-3 days all sensors in the latest factory firmware KitKat stopped working.

In Lollipop, there has never been a problem.

Maybe there's a similar problem with the sensors on the D2403 rev5 as it was on the latest KitKat?
[Sony Xperia M2] hooooossamq:
We appreciate your good efforts to complete this rom...abut the camera.if we use another camera app it will remain the same problem?
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
you guys delivered the latest android for our devices about nearly 4 years. thank you so much for your efforts <3

Also, like [MENTION=6339209]hooooossamq[/MENTION] 's question, if we continue to use footej for video, will there be green line?
[Sony Xperia M2] basem_ym:
What about making a telegram group for beta testers?

[Sony Xperia M2] Konstantinosj77:
I'm not a fan of telegram...but we could use an IRC channel!

I'll update this post with more info. for the testers.

No,we use nothing from kitkat. Blobs are stock 5.1.1 or from SXD zip.

Strange thing is in some older N builds you reported lags etc after some kernel changes,I reverted those changes but lags were still there. That's why we can't help you,we really have no idea what's wrong with it!
[Sony Xperia M2] marco2tiger8:
It's just the phone getting old. 1 gb ram doesn't cut it anymore. Really... Just accept the reality. Even stock rom feels laggy when I only have bare minimum to web browsing and communication (call and message). No player no gallery no sht.

I know not everyone can afford a new phone with cash.

So my advice is start saving for a new phone :svetius:

I, myself bought a new phone by "credit" or "monthly payment"? Not really sure what this payment method is called in english. Fortunately it's the same device as Sir [MENTION=4550509]Konstantinosj77[/MENTION] , is it? :p Can't wait to see his work at the other device forum
[Sony Xperia M2] hooooossamq:
its not abut mony. its abut having new rom for old devices. a challenge maybe.iam sure that most users of the sony m2 have another new phone.but its not like what you think
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
it depends on usage. for example, i use phones for music and texting, nothing else. also i have nearly 450mb free when phone is in standby.
[Sony Xperia M2] Pitrecha:
the only problem is the battery, which after three years of use, works about 24h. And the new calmly enough for three days. Yes, you can exchange it, but then I prefer to change the phone for a new one :p
[Sony Xperia M2] mantazzo:
Yeah, I have this phone for 3 years now also, and I started looking for a new phone, will need a new one soon, since it's not really enough anymore for anything more than basic tasks - but sadly I'm stuck in searching. Sony doesn't look like they offer a decent medium-range phone (a.k.a. bang for the buck) and nothing really stands out, I'm not interested in Samsungs, and other phones my country offers are mostly Huawei and Xiaomi, which... Let's just say, I'm not really fond of them. I think I might actually just go back to Nokia for now and get a Nokia 6 or a Nokia 7 Plus when it comes out.
[Sony Xperia M2] Konstantinosj77:
BETA 1

- Latest Android/LineageOS changes.

- April security patch.

- Fixed leds.

- Fixed Time resetting after reboot.

- Fixed native camera recording (still buggy,green line on back camera and no front camera recording!).

- Enabled Android Go configuration.

- We now build GPS HAL without any reverts.

I confirm. The application gives an error, but if nothing is touched, the call is committed

upd: error appears when calling short numbers
[Sony Xperia M2] f2065:
This is not only a green line on the edge. All objects in the frame have similar blue and red lines of shadows! I tried another camera - Open Camera - there is also a similar problem with stripes. Footej Camera works without green line and blue/red shadow, but very slowly.

Dialer by Google LLC (from Google Play) works with short numbers normally. The design is the same as the built-in.
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
package installer still force closes... even on clean flash. i don't know what causes this but it is annoying as hell

edit: after reboot it solved itself.

Beta 1 bugs i've just found:

1) Apk installer sometimes cannot install apk file directly from Download Manager notofication and with inbuilt file manager. Problem solved with solid Explorer installed

2) I could not change default launcher with home button just after installing new one. Solved: I've set up default launcher from settings.

3) videorecording works but green stripe appear on the right of the screen.

4) Sound volume (speaker) is very low. It seems to be more quiet then in LineageOS 14.1..

5) Is slower than LineageOS 14.1 and has worse battery backup..

- Is then text battery indicator in this ROM? => solved;

- where can I find weather provider add-ons for this ROM witch cooperate with in-built cLock Widget? The ones from official lineageos.org site for 14.1 do not work.

ad 1) installer works ok after another clean install. it was permission problem -> caused by my fault ;)

ad 2) works ok too after another clean install of ROM.

is there any mod I can use with this ROM to solve 3)?

https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/branch:lineage-15.1+topic:oreo-mr1-livedisplay-native

[MENTION=5785496]JuniorCaesar[/MENTION] wtf, this ROM doesn't have a bundled GApps, and I'm sure Lineage's SetupWizard (without gapps) worked fine.

New build with fully fixed camcorder coming up, thanks to milosr and AdrianDC... can't say when, you remember how accurate the ETA was last time :p
[Sony Xperia M2] basem_ym:
Coming from dirty flash.

No dailing app problems, it FCed once, but didn't drop the call, I count it as normal per one app for beta build.

No gapps problems at all, no wifi or data problems, no root problems at all (expect the package installer problem after flashing magisk)

Battery life is perfect(no kernel bull**** tewaks)

For video recording:

Small green line appears on right edge on 1080.

Sligtly larger line on 720.

Under 720 it goes crazy.

I have a suggestion:

Titanium backup shows that I have more than 900 free MBs in system partition.

Why dont we make use of it?

For example: expanding zram up to 800 mb?

Or repartition internal storage and expand data partition?

Thats crazy but really helpful, since dalvik cache and apps cache eats a lot of precious space.

Thank you very much I really really appreciate your hard work.

And what can I do to stop falling off I2C (along with all the sensors)? Can I make the firmware with the most detailed logs? Or how can I compile exactly the same firmware and examine the problem? A little experience of build firmware I have ...

And why does not work protection unlocking in pocket? This is a 100% verifiable situation. Maybe it works on D2303, but on D2403 - it never works.

Maybe this has to do with I2C errors too?

So I dirty flashed Beta 1 over Lineage 14.1 and everything seems to work perfect! The only problem is that I'm having a bit trouble rooting the ROM.

PS anyone who has flashed magisk and can't install apps (due to package installer FC) can easily fix this by flashing the magisk uninstaller.zip
[Sony Xperia M2] JORGETECH:
If Google Dialer is installed by default in this ROM maybe it should be replaced with the stock AOSP one to avoid problems.
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
there are many people using lineage or aosp roms for privacy (getting rid of 3rd party apps and using foss apps) so it is not a good idea. as our developer said, he will look at it so i think we should wait :)
[Sony Xperia M2] basem_ym:
I'm one of those people actually :fingers-crossed:

Ofcourse, using google dailer is not the best solution(if its not the worst)

As I said just a temporary replacement, as devs stated that next build may take a while.

I really don't have much time for a comprehensive search.

So, if you know better (FLOSS) replacement please share :)

[Sony Xperia M2] WilderSu:
As few mentioned already installing magisk causes installation of any further app to fail.

There are charging related issues too, rebooting during charging loops or freezes phone, and few times It wouldn't charge until rebooted.

There is setting missing for notifications access too, so anything that wants to display icon baddge, won't be able to. For some reason apps can't create desktop shortcuts also.
