they come from the sim card. I think (but not sure) that every phone courier has it burned into their sim card.

you can hide sim card contacts using the AdvancedConfig tool from Schaps, do a search to find it on the forum.

I had the same...

Just install a config-app like schapps advanced config on your phone and uncheck "show sim contacts"....

Does this mean that GPS is working again on pollux_windy devices? If I find the time I definitely will give this a try over the weekend!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] CaHbKaUp:
Probably yes, while sepolicy on current development version in permissive mode, but it still WIP for previous versions
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] ripee:
Which repos did you use to build 0425? Is the nougat kernel you linked the one that works for pie? This roomservice cooks a pollux build that is stuck on the boot animation.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lm089:
Hi, just a quick first report:

did a complete wipe then installed this ROM >> reboot into recovery >> flash openGapps Pico build 20190426 + Magisk 18.1 >> reboot to system

did basic setup (Google + Lineage) without restoring anything from cloud etc.

installed some GPS testing app >> did a complete A-GPS delete / refresh cycle

Got a GPS fix after approx 6 minutes (yippiiiieee!!! Finally)

Switch off GPS, shut down GPS Test, then repeated GPS Test >> fix 10 seconds!!

So this is great.

Then tested a few other things. Here's what works for me and what doesn't:

- Boot : Ok
- GApps : OpenGApps Nano Ok
- FOTA Recovery : Ok
- WiFi : Ok
- Bluetooth : Ok
- WiFi Hotspot : n/a
- RIL - Phone - Data : n/a
- GPS : Ok (Yessss!)
- Camera : NO (see below)
- Camcorder : didn't test
- MicroSD : Ok
- Accelerometer : NO
- Compass : NO
- Gyroscope : NO
- AOSP sensors : ??
- FM Radio : NO (I'm aware you wrote that)
- Microphone : didn't test
- Audio & external audio : Ok
- Bluetooth audio : didn't test
- NFC : didn't test
- Kernel : ??
- Graphics : Ok
- 3D Rendering : didn't test
- Clock : Ok
- Offline Charging : Ok
- SEPolicies : didn't test

What else is not working is display rotation: it is fixed to landscape mode (with one exception, see below). This probably is due to the fact that most sensors apparently don't work here: no compass, no gyroskope etc. I'm using "Smart Tools" app. All tools that are using the device's sensors are dead. Tried to calibrate, but no result.

Camera isn't working either: it immediately crashes as soon as I click the shutter (no matter whether I use front or back camera). Tried to get a logcat (using catlog app), hope it contains what's needed to look into this.

Regarding the camera there are two more issues:

1 - the camera shutter button is halfway hidden behind the navigation bar (see screenshot) (see update below)

2 - if I start the camera the tablet's display changes to portrait mode, and then it stays there until I shut down the tablet

-----

sorry for not mentioning earlier that apart from those issues this ROM makes a very good impression: very fast and responsive. Thanks a lot for taking care of this!!!

Will return now to LOS 15.1 as I need a fully working device this afternoon. Let me know if you need more info, probably can do some more testnig tomorrow

Update (after being back at 15.1 official):

All sensors working again, incl. display rotation, compass, water level etc. ;

Also Camera is working fine again, but I just realized that also in this version the shutter button is halfway hidden, as can be seen in the screenshot. So this apparently is a generic (minor) flaw...

Fence, it's good news and I was about to sell my tablet Z. I'll try to see what's going on with android 9. Thanks devep.

I can confirm auto ration does not work. Which isnt really bad big deal right now . But i'm sure ill get annoyed at some point
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] enigmedark:
Hello, first of all I feel bad for not being able to try and give my feedback of this ROM right now (I use the tablet for college and right now it is not convenient to "experiment" with it) however I would sincerely congratulate the developer of it, I never thought to see another ROM on this Tablet that I liked since I bought. Sorry for my bad English, I will be closely following the development of the ROM and when possible I'll try it ;)

[OT?] Need help installing this ROM.

I'm currently using Official Lineage OS 15.1 build on pollux, and want to try this ROM.

But I just noticed that I dont have TWRP installed (its missing) on my tablet. I had TWRP installed in FOTA partition, but now its missing. Using Reboot to recovery option gives black screen after sony logo. Same results when manually rebooted after power off using vol buttons.

I don't know what happened, I've been using Lineage builds both unofficial and official from years on this tablet. And twrp in fota partition too, but never encountered this issue.

Don't have access to pc rn to try fastboot boot recovery.img, is there anything else i can try?

Tried Xperia Recovery app from play store which can flash recovery to fota using root but no help (used to work earlier) and dd if=/temp/rec.img of=/dev/block/...... In terminal, but didn't worked
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lm089:
Are you by any chance using Magisk, and have updated to v19.x lately? Then you ran into a known problem new Magisk versions are having with Xperias' recovery option (see posts in various Xperia and Magisk forums). You have several options:

1) downgrade Magisk to 18.1

2) use a different SuperSu tool like the one from Lineage

Of course you need to reinstall Twrp first

Well that's why it doesn't work, because this ROM is not for the Z2

Looks like lineage is has some native support for low ram configuration but I'm not sure if it works at all on tablet z

Because Google's documents about low ram config is written with at least Linux 4.4 in my mind and some of it's features like zRAM are not available on Linux 3.4 which is what tablet z uses

Thank you for the new update. working perfectly. Does anyone know how to either install dolby or viper4android to this rom? using a sgp311 windy. just want to boost volume as i feel its low even on max. thanks

check if \system\etc\mixer_paths.xml file exists. If yes, open it and increase to Digital Volume" value="87" or Digital Volume" value="89". Save the file and reboot device.

Do you think I could install a lineage 15.1 over it without losing much data and/or settings? Just to see whether my wifi would work again?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Rootk1t:
you can try, but i think that it's not a good idea.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lkjsoiuew:
thanks, I tried it and finally managed to install the zip after wiping system/cache/dalvik (it was _very_ complicated, is twrp that buggy?). ( I have to manually mkdir /cache/recovery in the terminal )

Now I see ~2 minutes of the lineage start animation before it reboots to recovery.

("MIPA kernel" didn't fix it)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] HideTheCookies:
Thanks for your continued support!!

I pulled my tablet out for the first time in 4yrs yesterday. I was not expecting any activity in the forum this was a pleasant surprise. My tablets been running smooth soo far.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lkjsoiuew:
After a /data wipe wifi is working...

Runs very well, but there is one small problem: after start and standby the device always starts in landscape mode. I have to enable rotation only for the purpose of getting into portrait mode. Also the koreader app always starts in landscape mode (which makes it unusable)

Changes:

October 2020 Android security patch
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lm089:
Unfortunately that build is constantly crashing my device (pollux_windy). Ran the update as I always did since I'm using LOS 16 here:

- download image

- boot to twrp, get full Nandroid bu

- flash the update

- delete cache / dalvik

Never caused any problems afaik.

Not this time: each time approx. 2 minutes after having booted to system device shuts down and reboots.

After a lot of fiddling and what feels like 20 crashes I managed to get a logcat while the device was up; don't know if that helps, I attached it nevertheless. Meanwhile I'll try to restore my latest backup.

In case one of the devs needs some other log or additional info please let me know. I should find the time to replay this.

--- UPDATE ---

Restoring the backup worked and device is running stable again
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] DHGE:
flashed it...

With the June version I somehow lost the ability to connect to my WiFi router ("could not save network", could not connect).

With this version dirty flashed the problem persisted...

After trying several things I succumbed to a factory reset... :crying:

Wifi works again

[MENTION=1847079]jelbo[/MENTION] Bluetooth works with my headset (oops - this is not the Tablet Z4, karin_windy)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] momomomonsterbill:
Thanks a lot for keeping up the good work for old pollux :)

I installed the latest version of your ROM (20201016) and still have the problem that Firefox 81 crashes the system to reboot. Is anyone else still seeing that bug?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lm089:
As I wrote earlier (2 posts up from yours) my Pollux_windy constantly crashes to reboot with the October update. I don't see it related to Firefox, though, as the September update had solved that problem for me. But as I have FF installed that still could be a thing to test.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] momomomonsterbill:
Once the device has finished booting you could try to quickly

a) disable wifi

or b) uninstall firefox

If this fixes the rebooting-issue I would assume that its that LOS-kernel bug again that is triggered by firefox.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lm089:
Worked indeed: used titanium to freeze Firefox, then flashed the October update.

Result: no more crashes over the course of >10 minutes.

Then un-freezed Firefox but did not start it. After ~ 2 minutes tablet crashed to reboot.

Firefox is now again "frozen", and the device is running stable again.

This point is on you, thanks for hinting.

Next thing I'll try is re-flashing MiPa kernel, that helped in the past, and hopefully it does again

=== update ===

Yep, flashing MiPa helped: reactivated Firefox, used it for a while, still no crashes
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] momomomonsterbill:
The problem appears to be that the patch has been applied to the LineageOS 17 branch of the kernel but not yet to the 16 branch (https://github.com/fusion3-common/android_kernel_sony_apq8064/blob/lineage-16.0/net/ipv4/route.c).
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lm089:
Unfortunately, the tablet is still somewhat instable, tending to crash and reboot in the middle of doing something (whatever that is). Don't have a clue whether it's the ROM or the alternative kernel: everytime I start the terminal emulator in su mode and do something like calling acc (https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-magic-charging-switch-cs-v2017-9-t3668427) the device freezes then reboots. Never before I had problems with acc crashing any one of my devices.

So I will be going back to the september build once again; wasn't bad anyways ;)

If the devs or someone else should be interested in logs I'd be willing to do a replay.

BTW: please don't get me wrong, I'm just reporting, not blaming anyone. I'm still very thankful for you guys keeping that old thing alive!

Dear CaHbKaUp,

I really appreciate you keeping this device alive and well! I recently stumbled upon an issue with your rom, though:

For whatever reason, the tablet doesn't go to sleep, draining the battery overnight. I have captured this issue with the app betterbatterystats:

Spoiler content hidden.

Please, if you need more information (logs etc.) let me know.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lm089:
Interesting, similar situation here: *sometimes* battery goes from something like 50% down to 2% where it shuts down. Of course I first thought of a dying battery (the tablet would be old enough for that). But then the device would shudown everytime at around the same percentage. Which is not the case: if I use the device actively for a while I observe the battery being slowly emptied, way below 10%; in my opinion this is a sign for a rather healthy battery, I'd say.

Deep sleep percentage appears to be near your figures, even if I leave the tablet lying untouched for half a day so.

Using Titanuim Backup I froze nearly all apps that aren't needed on a daily basis, but it didn't help so far.

Although until now I didn't pin it down to the ROM this could be possible.

I currently don't have BBS installed butI'd also be willign to supply any logs needed. Just let me/us know which type of log to catch at what event.
