[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
XDA just published a pretty decent article on why camera is always last to get fixed.. so if anyone is interested into more technical side of things, have a read :)

https://www.xda-developers.com/came...opers-make-hardware-work-without-source-code/

In our particular case with video recording, problem was created in 7.0 by separating camera and media process. This was done as a security measure, but also blocked communication between camera itself (running on 5.1 blobs from last stock), and media encoder (aka stitching together a bunch of frames into a video file).

Some changes for Project Treble broke this again in Oreo, but noone knows what exactly yet (95% of unofficial devices on Oreo have video recording broken, other 5% was lucky).

Not sure if anyone cares, but hope it makes the wait for a stable 8.0 ROM easier :)
[Sony Xperia M2] Umesh1041:
Thanks A lot for the explaining [MENTION=4635923]galaxyfreak[/MENTION] ....we really appreciate your work so far and [MENTION=4550509]Konstantinosj77[/MENTION] 's work

..I was really surprised and I believe many others were too when u first released the LOS15 rom hardly 2 months after android 8.0 oreo final builds started rolling out for the pixel devices...In short..we here at the xperia m2 xda community really love and appreciate all your hard work and we will continue to support and encourage you to do better.:fingers-crossed:

Sensors are not working. They are detecting data, but, looks like zeros.

Tried replacing with the provided one, but makes no difference.

Both checksums are same.

Any work arounds?
[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
We were trying out something last minute and screwed up.

To be fixed in next build, but heres a workaround:

system/vendor/etc/sensors/_hals.conf:

change to
[Sony Xperia M2] Jefis:
Does the trick,

to anyone else, connect via terminal to your android,

adb shell

note terminal size is 85x25, then,

nano /system/vendor/etc/sensors/_hals.conf

and leave a single line:

"sensorsecond.eagle.so"

Reboot phone, sensors are working.

There was no 8.x option when we released the ROM.

they are working for it but for now, it is like pure aosp. it is incredible we have oreo lol

also for system icons, rootless oreo launcher have option for circle icons (but only for launcher)

Works pretty good, but, could you try put Recovery on Kernel?

Sometimes, after back to Stock ROM, update the Bootloader and want go back to LOS15, Recovery doesn't install from fastboot.
[Sony Xperia M2] marco2tiger8:
never happen to me. it just you always make mistake "sometimes" when repeating the process. switching between stock rom, EagleExp, omni, los 15 is as smooth as butter to me. just make sure you didn't forget any step ;)
[Sony Xperia M2] robgee789:
can you use viper audio with this rom guys?
[Sony Xperia M2] sebasrock156:
Haha.

Is a Recovery partition problem, I suppose... With Dualrecovery for Stock Roms, works perfectly, problem is with TWRP installed by Fastboot.

Basically, before to Flash the Phone to Stock again, I format all partitions (Prevention after all), and Custom Recoveries for Custom Kernels, simply doesn't install via Fastboot, although, Fastboot utility works good.

That's the f*cking problem.

In this case, Custom Recoveries install, but not in "Recovery Partition" (Only in "Boot/Kernel" Partition).

And, almost ever is:

Stock Rom, force latest TWRP Version (CM13/LOS14/LOS15, make it reboot TWRP 2.8 and CWM Philz Touch), next, Omni (LOS14), and later, LOS15, and Recovery problem persist.
[Sony Xperia M2] Konstantinosj77:
It's not a recovery problem!

You don't update your bootloader after flashing a stock ftf

I've done this procedure over 100 times and never faced such issues!
[Sony Xperia M2] Nitin69:
[MENTION=4550509]Konstantinosj77[/MENTION],

1 question though, after ROM is flashed and we enter twrp again it ask if twrp has to be installed as system app? What to do?

Thanks for the rom.
[Sony Xperia M2] sebasrock156:
I updated the Bootloader always that Flash Stock Lollipop in M2, and doesn't works, man :(
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
when you flash stock, everything will be wiped (except internal and external storage), so that may be your problem. i experienced this for one time and i could flash recovery via cmd with no problems.

what error you get in fastboot mode?
[Sony Xperia M2] sebasrock156:
None error in Fastboot, flash in fastboot is okay, simply, Recovery partition doesn't show later.

But, I will try later, use a Custom ROM using Root Explorer for modding is a problem in case of a Bootloop.
[Sony Xperia M2] marco2tiger8:
it just asking you if you want the TWRP app. this app is available on play store (I think). if you dont want it, it is safe to press "dont install"

[Sony Xperia M2] skrubxgt:

you need to roll back kitkat for unlock bootloader (or lollipop i don't exactly remember)

Any issues on playing games : ?Last time I download Lineage 14.1 , everything was fine except playing games , Somehow , It lags a lot (Crackling sound , sluttering ) but then I flash back to stock rom and everything was fine .
[Sony Xperia M2] tommytomson:
How can I remove the search bar from the home screen? It doesn't work and takes up space on the screen.
[Sony Xperia M2] rethinkk:
+1 me too,when I was stock no issues but this rom and 7.1.1 lots of lags happened.
[Sony Xperia M2] ladiesman869:
Good to know I'm not alone :p , Tried flashing RR , CM13 , and many more , but sadly , its the same problem :confused:
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
this rom is in alpha stage, keep that in mind. also you are now using 4 year old device, i think it is normal.

besides that if you are a really hardcore gamer, i suggest you must stay on stock. but all roms made for this device focused on daily usage
[Sony Xperia M2] Zechok:
I loved this system!thank you! how to open root?:rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia M2] buzzywaw:
You could try this

https://download.lineageos.org/extras

Flash with twrp

But i guess we dont need root access, the rom are already bring with slim optimal system
[Sony Xperia M2] skrubxgt:
I have an question. Is it stable, have some bugs (i know its have camera issue), calls; sms is working, no lags.

And is there to get Black UI? (i dont like white)

Is there full perfomence, no lags and bugs?

I wanna be up to date with android. Im using now OmniROM 7.1.2 . I have everything downloaded but i dont know im ready for update.

Thanks for responding :)
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
it has some wifi (sometimes it turns itself off and doesn't turn on until settings app force closes) and video playback issues (black screen with sound on youtube, reboot fixes that). Except these issues, rom is great :)

For black ui, install substratum and apply any black theme
[Sony Xperia M2] skrubxgt:
Thank you, but to get black theme i need Andromeda whitch is paid :(

Is there any link to get it for free?

Thanks so much :)
[Sony Xperia M2] JuniorCaesar:
Flash root and you will get substratum working fine without andromeda

also if you want to stay unrooted, respect to developers hard work and buy the client (it is not too expensive for weeks maybe months of coding and effort) ;)
[Sony Xperia M2] skrubxgt:
But I have rooted with latest SuperSu.

Am I using wrong root? Can you provide working root?
[Sony Xperia M2] skrubxgt:
Anybody, please?
[Sony Xperia M2] basem_ym:
Flash LOS root addon then flash SuperSU
[Sony Xperia M2] skrubxgt:
Thank you very much! Im only flashed SuperSU but not addon.

Thanks again! :good:

Hi everyone,

Have I got a chance to have less lags with this version than with Lineage 14?

Or is my phone definitely to old?

I currently cannot run Google maps or YouTube, Amazon Kindle, Firefox, without getting some lags, I'm becoming a bit desperate about that...
[Sony Xperia M2] basem_ym:
Have a look at the OP, this is an ALPHA build, be prepared for some explosions :cyclops:

Do not expect much better performance from a 1GB RAM device.
[Sony Xperia M2] ccazerty:
Okay thank you,

I'll probably change my phone this year.

I hope my next device will have a nice community of developers and fans like with the M2 here :o
[Sony Xperia M2] galaxyfreak:
Okay, an update/rant on how things are (not) going... not specific to our device but like...

STATE OF AOSP AND CUSTOM ROMS IN LATE-2017.

O has been the most screwed up Android release ever.. why? Pixel.

First off, AOSP tag had a quite a few bugs because Google doesn't give a f*** testing on devices other than Pixel, fixed eventually by Lineage team or other people on AOSP gerrit.

Second, Google recently released 8.0.0_r23 tag, which was kind of 8.1-but-still-called-8.0. Lineage said let's merge it, so we are ready for an easier 8.1 merge when it comes. After 2 weeks of intensive work, new tag was bulit, working on a few devices and ALMOSTTT merged by Lineage team, until they noticed older Nexus 5X/6P are not working properly. They're kind of the special case. They're not treble like Pixel, but still want separate partition like treble does. And it's kinda stupid to merge a new tag when Nexus devices which should work out of the box are broken.

The problem is - until they figure out the issue, December will come, the REAL 8.1, and that's again another merge/rebase/fix conflicts. It's November, and Lineage is still on August security patch for 8.0.

And seems like that's not gonna change for next month or even two.

Timing and way Oreo was released is a disaster.

Third, our native video recording. It's broken on all but newest devices with official 7.0+ ROMs. Exception being OnePlus that got released camera HAL.

And noone in Lineage team is really mentioning it because everyone has the attitude 'fix it yourself if you need it' but noone has a clue what's the problem.

Reality being, there aren't many of "platform" developers around Android custom ROMs any more. Before on such major issues, one of two main CM guys, Steve Kondik or Ricardo Cerquiera would fix it, everyone would cherry-pick it, and they happily lived ever after. Now when they've both left, there's hardly anyone to take on a more major issues like this one.

No doubt eventually someone will figure it out, but Android 'scene' really isn't what it used to be.

CyanogenMod/Lineage lost alot of people on multiple occasions, and those who are left aren't really enthusiastic about it, but rather holding on because they don't wanna let go previously invested years.

Android might have "matured" for regular consumers, but for power users it's getting more and more messy and closed, Pixel underlined that.

Long read, not everyone will understand or care but wanted to put it out there.
[Sony Xperia M2] Th3 Ant:
It's sad but 100% true... Pixels are plagued with issues - just like whole Android itself.

And instead of fixing 8.0 first, Google wants to release 8.1... If it's gonna stay that way - instead of getting stable, fully working Android build, we'll be getting .1 updates once a month - just like security updates... and we could forget about customs ROMs...

It's funny that LOS fixed latest big security issue which KRACK was and Google didn't (or did they already?)...

If Google won't change what they're doing with its mobile OS, instead of running ahead, it will walk 1 step back and 2 ahead...
[Sony Xperia M2] Konstantinosj77:
Great post [MENTION=4635923]galaxyfreak[/MENTION] !

Some device related news

- We are redoing the kernel,this is the 3rd time...

Cleaner port of sony changes on top of latest CAF branch for our SoC...Also bringing more stock stuff on board. Hopefully this will improve stability. Maybe will include some upstream changes too...

- Wil release new build of Nougat ROMS based on that kernel on next weekend.

- Won't release new Oreo ROM ,or update for this one, for now... Will discuss this again when 8.1 is released.

I got a new phone so developing for M2 will get kinda slow. All my sources are on github so feel free to fork and build yourself.

True! wpa_supplicant_8 is still unpatched on AOSP!

Sounds great! I also got a new phone)(Huawei P10) but 0 developing on that community. I will miss Xperia M2, I got this device because of Vodafone offer but I would be complety fine with the Xperia M2 a year more, I will miss Custom ROM or Lineage also :(

Hello and hugs from Brazil

i found some problems with the rom.

are they:

- Wireless needs improvement (disconnects suddenly and does not reconnect, just by restarting the device)

- it seems that the sensors are deregulated, (some applications run in landscape mode even in portrait mode and vice versa.)

- Wallpapers are not set in the correct position

I really liked the ROM, fixing these little things would be perfect. :)

I await answers, I'll see you later!:good::)

over counted is graphical bug i guess. 7.1 also contains that bug.

For battery drain, you can use Wakelock Detector. You can find which app prevents deep sleep
