[Sony Xperia ZL] ryanrudolf:
I've had this phone (Sony Xperia ZL) for more than 5years now (since Jul2013), and I am happy that Open Source projects like LineageOS exists to extend the life of our devices in terms of Android updates. To contribute back to the community, I have decided to share my unofficial LineageOS builds. I am building the ROM from LineageOS sources (github.com/lineageos) and TheMuppets (github.com/themuppets). Anyone with a fast internet connection can download the sources and build it! The builds are signed using public test keys -- Android Trust will give a warning about it and that is OK. I tend to do builds every 3days or so, or whenever there is a major update (monthly security patch). Credit goes to LineageOS team, TheMuppets, fusion3-common developers and of course Google.

NOTE: Builds starting Sept21 -- 20180921-UNOFFICIAL-odin.zip will use fusion3-common (github.com/fusion3-common) instead of TheMuppets.
