AOSP Android 11

Hi,

I'm new to this forum so I cannot create a new thread.

I made an AOSP build with android-11.0.0_r17 following official Sony guide.

If anyone is interested let me know (if possible create a new thread to avoid polluting here), I cannot post link yet (I'm too new on the forum to post links)

The only bug I found yet is there: github.com/sonyxperiadev/device-sony-pioneer/issues/39

Camera won't work after suspend/exit any camera app.

Do you guys on Lineageos 18 experience the same bug with camera?
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Arbaazhussain:
Los is stock based so it's fine whereas the aosp which u r saying is sodp it has error in camera there is no error on los

He brings up a good question, is VOLTE enabled on this ROM? T-Mobile has begun requiring phones to have VOLTE starting from January 2021. It would seem that I now have to buy another new phone if VOLTE cannot be figured out on this device.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] malerocks:
AFAIK, LineageOS roms do not have VoLTE
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] malerocks:
Its just a setting in the AOSP code but it does not work. Search in threads. You will find many people that see the setting but VoLTE does not actually work. Same for VoWiFi.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bobsright:
Let's face it people, these phones are pretty much toast. they may very well work with some carriers but they will be getting few and far between. When 5G becomes more prevalent 4G will become almost useless just as 3G became. Web content will be so data heavy 4G won't be able to keep up. So I bid adieu to Sony as I have moved on to a Pixel 5. I mean, that's what we're trying to turn our phones into, right? Carrier and manufacturer bloatware free? It was fun messing with these phones but, just too much hassle in the end. Good luck to all that press on.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] malerocks:
Not sure if it will help with VoLTE generally on Lineage, but lets hope so

I'm missing two switches in "Developer Options" in 18.1 UNOFFICiAL.

1. "Advanced Restart"

2. "Kill app Back Button"

Is that due to LOS.18.1? I did like that in 17.1.

What is your--

LineageOS version: Mar 18 from soundforge

LineageOS Download url:

Gapps version: aurora store microG but not xPosed

Did you--

wipe:

restore with titanium backup:

reboot after having the issue:Yes

Are you using--

a task killer: No

a non-stock kernel: No

other modifications:No

Provide any additional information trying to figure out if this is hardware /software related. Purchased the phone, installed Lineage 18.1. Followed the instructions with firmware etc. Issue is the speaker phone or loudspeaker doesn't work. The ear piece does, and Bluetooth All works and headphones work. The build works awesome actually, thank you for the time to develope it and maintain it. Doesn't even bother me that much so was just seeing if it was known or not. The charging issue Also occurs here and there but rectifies upon restart. Just says, plugged in but can't charge At the moment... I played music while running a bug report. But can't get it to attach here for some reason. Thank you!

I think I followed all the instructions correctly, the only difference been I used TWRP instead of the lineage recovery. My phone is stuck on the SONY logo
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cerij101:
Firstly, apologies for posting both here and in the subreddit.

I'll freely admit to being a newbie, though I have installed LOS on other devices with no issue. But on pioneer, I cannot get any mobile services, either calls or data. In About Phone > SIM Status it says Radio off under Service Status. I've tried selecting different types of Preferred network but it always defaults back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE. I've also confirmed the APN settings are correct and tried 2 different SIMs. I'm in the UK and have tried 3, Giffgaff (which runs on O2 I think) and EE. It seems to obtain the correct APN info for each of these but still doesn't work. On EE I also tried creating a new APN with settings obtained from the internet.

The IMEI number is correctly displayed in About Phone and using *#06#. The status bar says 'No SIM Card' in all cases.

I first used lineage-17.1-20210325-nightly-pioneer-signed.zip and then when 18.1 came available I tried that too ( lineage-18.1-20210402-nightly-pioneer-signed.zip ) with the same result.

I also found an XDA thread which suggested updating the modem using a file called pioneer_modem_bt_dsp_50.2.A.3.22.zip. This didn't work either.

There were no updates pending when it was on the Sony ROM, but I cannot say for sure that it was the latest version.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Finally got it to boot. Does anyone know of magisk works with this? Reason I ask is I redid everything but didn't use magisk (which I did flash the first time). Don't know if that got the phone to boot or I accidentally did something right.

[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Merlin K:
I had a similar issue on LOS 17. The only fix that worked is just to boot first to SONY original firmware after flashing it with newflasher before flashing LOS. Then reboot and continue with flashing LOS.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] malerocks:
I can confirm this too. See screenshot. The phone is recognising that a charger is plugged but it won't charge.

Hi!

Is the "advanced restart" visible in 18 official too? If yes, where is it? I don't see it in dev options.. ?
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DHD4Me:
I see nothing in dev options. But if I long press power button and select restart then are there the options system, recovery and bootloader by default.

But now you find it under System -> Gesture -> On/Off Menu

Anybody using the signal messenger (5.6.1) with lineage-18.1-20210402-nightly-pioneer-signed and has the same problem with the signal messenger gallery pick up which I described here?

Thanks. Flashed it again and it seems to working now. Oddly enough, some apps that I want to recognise root are not. And if I restart the phone, the "hide" does not work until I open the app once.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Webexplr:
I followed your suggestion and everything works fine, except that Google Maps now crashes immediately after opening it. Perhaps you have any clue why?

EDIT: The workaround is by installing the old version of Maps and disabling auto update..

EDIT 2: Google Meet doesn't work too. "New Meeting" button is gone

I still can't find out why Maps keeps crashing on start. So I decided to submit a logcat.

Then I have done all the following steps.

GPS also is working, cam sam app is working fine with lineage 18.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for this software.

My android H3113 is in airplane mode continuously, it is not possible to call, GPS does not work either, for example with cam sam app. Without installing gapps it doesn't work either. When I make a call a message appears "deactivate the airplane mode to make calls".

I have installed well with NikGapps-core-arm64-11-20210124-signed package, other gapps don't go well. Fast charging and many other things works very well
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mx82:
I installed this ROM 2 days ago with NikGapps-core-arm64-11-20210130-signed.

Everything accept GPS works fine, thanks for the awesome new features like Seedvault backup and internet restrictions for apps.

GPS does not work with Google Maps + Maps Go, but with Osmand+, Bikecitizens and every of my weather apps. It needs around 30sec to find my position with a precision of 50m and 1 minute more to improve it to ~20m.

With Lineage 17.1 this was much better.

The first 2 days GPS was completly broken, now it works (I don't know the reason).

Edit2: The 4-6 day GPS is broken again, reboot does not help.

By the way, I would never update this early, but my Lineage 17.1 broke 2 days ago after 6 months of smooth operation for no reason. Every attempt to fix it made it worse.

Edit: VoLTE works! I talk on the phone and the service is still LTE. I am using Vodafone Germany (Lidl Connect).
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Webexplr:
Thank you for the hint. I followed up the discussion and managed to fixed this issue by adding a new permission to google.xml file.

I have identified a (kind of) pattern. When I put my phone for charging and let it charge continuously till it's almost full, it's fine. However, if I have disconnected it midway through for a few minutes (maybe 15 mins or so) and then reconnect for charging, it does not charge any more and restarting the phone is the only way to fix it.

Anyone else mind testing and checking if they see the same pattern?

Hello, my english is not that good. The upgrade from 17.1 to 18.1 went smoothly. Root too.

That's what I thought too, but when you click on "Confirm recovery keys" ("Wiederherstellungsschlüssel bestätigen") you are shown 12.

It looks like the Seedvault backup is disabled by the Google Backup because of a request to the user. The Google Backup asks every morning if you want to enable it, a no disables Seedvault. I'll check this again, has anyone else noticed this?

I usually charge my phone when it's around 10-20% since upgrade, never encountered this issue.

I tried to reproduce your issue then this happened to me lol. A restart fixed this, probably temporarily.

[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LuK1337:
Wishful thinking. The only charging change between the last 17.1 and 18.1 is pretty much meaningless and shouldn't cause any issues but if you want, here's a boot.img with it reverted.

[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Merlin K:
I had similar issue on 17.1 some time ago. It was possible to charge only by connecting phone during restart, before LOS loaded. Issue was related to USB settings and I thought it is hardware related. In a few days I took my phone and went to service but when I tried to replicate issue there - it started to work fine. How no idea what that was... 🥴
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] malerocks:
Thanks. Since you are using microg, atleast it proves that it's not the gapps I used. Wonder if its magisk?

Is there anyone without magisk facing the issue?

I'm also experiencing charging issues with 18.1 - with 17.1 no problems.

I'm using a USB Battery Charging device (basically 5V PSU with shorted data lines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hardware#USB_Battery_Charging ).

The first time I read about the charging issue, I tried charging: pluggin cable in, out, in ... averything worked.

Then I really needed to charge it and it displayed: chager connected but no charging. After a restart, charging worked. Now, I tried to charge again and same problem: ohne detects charger but doesn't charge the battery.

I measured the current and it seems that the phone uses the charger to power itself (and not draining the battery) but does not charge the battery. This also complies with my experience: during a map update of OSMand, the battery level didn't fall despite a long time loading data via WiFi.

I assumed that someone would care to try it and drop their results here but I guess that was just my wishful thinking.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Andy_2639:
Can you please tell me how can I try it?

Do I have to install it permanently or just boot with it (like TWRP).

What command do I have to use? fastboot boot boot.img?

(How can I restore the current state of my phone?)

Sorry for the questions but I'm not really deep into this Android stuff - I'm using LineageOS mainly to extend the phone life after Sony drops security updates and to live without Google account.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LuK1337:
You can just boot it. Confirm in settings that kernel build date roughly matches the post time.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Andy_2639:
I started the phone into bootloader (blue LED) and run that command:

C:\Users\User\XA2\platform-tools>fastboot boot C:\Users\User\XA2\boot.img
Sending 'boot.img' (22781 KB) OKAY [ 0.915s]
Booting OKAY [ 5.286s]
Finished. Total time: 6.270s

The phone rebooted and showed the battery symbol (like when charging a powered off phone). Then, I pressed the power button and - after showing the unlocked warning and the sony logo - the phone booted into Android.

I guess that it loaded the boot image from the phones memory instead of the one I provided with fastboot as it seemed to do a full reboot after pressing the power button.

The charging issue still is present.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LuK1337:
Unplug usb as soon as it says finished.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mhier:
I have the issue, too, and just now flashed the modified boot.img. I will report in one or two days if the problem reappears. For me it appears always after a while (some hours), and a reboot cures it.

Btw: I observed a similar, yet more drastic issue with my wife's phone, a Sony X Compact (F5321). I tried an unofficial non-LineageOS Android 11 (https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-11-0-4-9-aosp-kugo-explosive-lobster.4214465/). Charging the phone was then entirely impossible, even when switching it off or while being in recovery. I had to switch to the latest available LineageOS before the battery went down completely. Not sure if this is connected in any way, but maybe this gives a useful hint?
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mx82:
Looks like I have also the charging issue. Every charging since the second one after rebooting is not possible.

Good news for GPS location:

Looks like it will be fixed next Thursday:

On my opinion it's up to the user to decide if he want to use Gapps and Unified / MicroG. But in the first place this patch is needed to make it possible.
