have you checked your sms service center number.

Go to settings then phone. Then services. The voicemail and text messages. Click get settings and let us know what service number you have in
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] orbit_noob:
This is the number already in the settings +447782000800. So everything should work, but it doesnt.

So all you dont have any problems sending text using 3 network?

Why is mine like this:confused::mad:
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] orbit_noob:
i found the problem. after 3 months of no ability to text, numerous calls to the indian call centre, and countless hours on the forums looking for the answer. heres what fixed mine:

under advanced network settings i changed the sms txt to GSM rather than GPRS.

so simple in the end, a big thanks to all who have previously tried to help me. I holpe this may help others out there who might have the same problem.

im off to send some txt to my friends now haha

[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] dallas87:
Hi,

please please please have patient with with as i’m still on iphone waiting to sell it and buy android (after @5 years on apple ecosystem)

Before that, last android phone, i had note 3, rooted ...

My question is about having a degoogled phone with lineageos (im looking for pixel 4a to buy this one), without any google service instaled (not even aurora that, from what i understood, can be installed via fdroid and used to install play apps) and use no more google/facebook services (e.g whatsapp).

The question: can i download an apk file from google store via a laptop (e.g: revolut, or other banks apps) upload them to the phone and install them?

If this will work, will be privacy compromised?

Is this safer than installing via aurora?

Another question: lets say ill use k9 mail for my gmail account. Will help google target my phone in any way knowing at least my phone ip ?

Regards,
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] a1291762:
Android allows side-loading, where an APK from anywhere can be installed. It is up to you to make sure you aren't installing a bad app if you do this.

However, if you have completely de-googled your phone, expect trouble with apps. It is very common for apps to depend on Google services.

It is safer to use a store of some kind than to download from random web sites, unless you are going to verify certificates and such yourself.

I don't understand what you are concerned about. You will have to force Google to "lower your account security" if you use k9 because it doesn't support Google's oath authentication. But it will work. I used k9 for many years with my Gmail account. The worst that ever happened was when Google temporarily blocked logins due to my IP changing a bunch. That kind of thing is much less likely with an oauth login.

To be frank, having a Gmail account while being paranoid about Google stuff on your phone makes no sense to me. You can turn off or disable things on the phone if you don't want them on.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] dallas87:
I'm agree with you. I'll create an email service for myself in the near future so I'll skip this only service that I'm using from google

All programs off, flight mode not on, wifi off, 3G on, BT off, push off:

On, awake: 150 to 68 mA (150 mA for 10 secs, then drops)

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] StockBreaker71:
I switched from MIUI 12.0.4 to Pixel Experience (28 Dec 2020 build) running on Android 11. The hotspot worked fine initially. Then I installed Magisk, Viper and AML (audio modification library). Now whenever I turn hotspot on, it turns off and it's written "error" on the hotspot screen. I tried uninstalling, restarting, factory reset and changing timeout, but nothing worked. Hiding Magisk didn't seem to work either. Changing the hotspot names and settings didn't help either. Tethering seems to work fine. Please help.

Edit: So, after much investigation I found that Viper4Android is the culprit. Whenever I install it, hotspot doesn't work. Is there a way to fix this?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Saswata Chakraborty:
Hotspot and Wifi doesnt work if you flash V4A. You need to flash a custom kernel. All custom kernels support V4A. But I cant recommend one as I am using stock. You need to check with others about custom kernels.

[Sony Xperia 1 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] james194zt:
Just tried flashing this rom, followed instructions above but it just boot loops between the sony screen and the "bootloader unlocked" screen.
[Sony Xperia 1 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clfbbn:
Are you on stock android 10 before flashing? Have you erased the userdata?

I tried to flash it again and it boots successfully.
[Sony Xperia 1 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] james194zt:
Yes I was originally stock android, followed the above and erased userdata, have even booted in to Lineage recovery and done erase data from there. Interesting thing though is that Lineage recovery cannot mount system? Have flashed it a few times no change, if I leave it after a few reboots it will eventually boot up on the "B" side and the stock OS starts to boot (to getting started wizard).
[Sony Xperia 1 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clfbbn:
1. Can you post the model of your device? Are there any errors during flashing?

2. If you are on the LineageOS recovery (FastbootD) and trying to flash the ROM, you need to explicitly specify the slot, like `fastboot flash system_a system.img`

3. If it does not work, can you try flashing the stock 10 firmware using XperiFirm and newflasher and try flashing the ROM again?
[Sony Xperia 1 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] james194zt:
I was on the built in fastbootd not Lineage OS, I used Lineageos recovery after to see what was going on, will try the above though
[Sony Xperia 1 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] james194zt:
have tried the above, it showed loading in to system a in the flash process when I did it but still boot looping :( device model is an AT51.
[Sony Xperia 1 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clfbbn:
Oh sorry, seems that I forgot something. When flashing, can you try flashing the dtbo.img? I forgot to add that command....
[Sony Xperia 1 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] james194zt:
I had already seen that command on another ROM so tried it, also doing fastboot boot:raw boot.img, that just resulted in the phone showing a "this device is corupt", so I did fastboot boot boot.img and it returned back to the usual "bootloader is unlocked" message on startup, still just boot looping though.

I did notice I was on Android 11, so downgraded the phone to the last Android 10 rom with newflasher then ran the above commands again without any change
[Sony Xperia 1 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clfbbn:
OK, maybe the dual SIM version is not compatible with single SIM version? I will try uploading a testing version later this day and see what happens.

Another thing you can try is not flashing the boot.img and dtbo.img and see what happens.

Edit 1: and have you ever flashed the ROMs that are Android 10? Can you successfully boot them?
[Sony Xperia 1 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] james194zt:
I have tried the above and no luck, boot.img and dtbo.img left alone and still boot loops!

No just got the phone yesterday want it to be Google free, I am coming from a OnePlus though so not a stranger to flashing ROMs I have tried a couple of lineage ROMs now and nothing works actually on this phone.

Very strange, I have bootloader unlocked it fine, it is fastbootd and does all the above commands with no errors but just boot loops, same with any ROM which makes no sense at all!
[Sony Xperia 1 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clfbbn:
Interesting, did you booted at least once when you downgraded to Android 10 because that might be the problem too?

I am also assuming this problem to be related to the vendor partition. If that is the case, I need to pull the blobs from AT51 and rebuild the ROM.

Hello,

Ive done a repo sync yesterday and built successfully updated version of lineageos-18.1,

however there seems to remain a issue initializing the camera driver and the service is constantly crashing. Im using the prebuilt kernel and Im currently testing mskyaxl's manifest.

If anyone has suggestions how I should approach all comments are welcome.

Edit: clean old irrelevant logs...
[Sony Xperia 1 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] hellobbn:
Hello, the manifest seems to use repositories from Sony Open Device Project (SODP), which in my opinion, will not work if built with official vendor blobs. If you want build on your own, you can try the following links:

pdx203 tree: https://github.com/hellobbn/android_device_sony_pdx203

common tree: https://github.com/hellobbn/android_device_sony_edo-common

kernel: https://github.com/hellobbn/android_kernel_sony_sm8250

And extract vendor blobs.

However, since my newest commit enables the ROM to be built with kernel source, which is based on a legacy kernel version sony released (58.A.1.178), the following things will not work:

- WiFi

Until sony releases its latest source code (the latest kernel source code for Xperia 1 II is released on April 2021, which is too old, and in my opinion, causes problems), I can do little things about it.

agree https://github.com/mskyaxl/local_manifests/commits/lineage-18.1 does not work and probably will not :) - I actually stopped working on it.

I did not do anything in the last month because...work.

But I am back on debugging what @hellobbn tried to do for lineage-19.0 (https://github.com/mskyaxl/local_manifests/commits/lineage-19.0) but I did not manage to get it working yet.
[Sony Xperia 1 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clfbbn:
I am not sure if exfat works. Here is my roadmap:

- Build Vendor and ODM images

- Fix kernel issues

However, my time is limited recently, so it may take a long time to complete the tasks. Until then, building using prebuilt kernel seems a more reliable solution.
[Sony Xperia 1 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] biopsin:
So I did a rebuild of 18-1 as suggested by hellobbn, however I also had to use the vendor tree as I could not extract the blobs even running adb as root.. so I guess Im still confused and mixin something up.

Everything builds, flashes and runs fine but I just cant get the camera drivers/service to function.

Hi, can you specify the exact commit on which you are building the ROM? You can build Lineage 19.1 using the following commits:

- Common Tree (device/edo): feb499203109ad21a2e3129a17b33f8b9558879a

[Sony Xperia 1 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] biopsin:
So Im building against:

- device_sony_pdx203: branch lineage-18.1-dtb - reverted last commit 9931594f34d2c3085e4c3f92c47a6f8eae47eb98, using prebuilt kernel-4.19.

- device_sony_edo-common: branch lineage-18-1

- vendor_sony_pdx203: branch lineage-18.1 - I guess this the culprint as I understand sharing the vendor blobs is forbidden, so these belongs to SODP?

For the moment I would like to remain on 18-1 as I have some old application I cant part with and I dont know what 19-1 will do to them. I mainly want the android security updates and the lineageos updates behaves slightly smoother too.
[Sony Xperia 1 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clfbbn:
I would suggest you to extract the blobs using local stock dumps. If you have a firmware downloaded from XperiFirm, do the following:

- unpack the super sin file using unsin

- unpack the super.img you got

- mount the system.img vendor.img etc. (In readonly mode) and copy the files

- Fix symlinks

- Extract blobs: ./extract-files.sh <your-local-root-dir>
[Sony Xperia 1 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] biopsin:
First up a big fat thank you to:

- sjllls hellobbn for the magnificent work for making it all happen,

- clfbbn mskyaxl for guidence and motivation,

- and too all contributers to LineageOS.

Notice:

- Blobs lifted from XQ-AT51_Customized EU_58.1.A.5.395-R25B and LineageOS-18.1 synced 2022.12.18

- libaptXHD_encoder.so & libaptX_encoder.so is used from android_vendor_sony_pdx203 ,

since they where missing while extracting, so if it works or not remains to see.

- "Lift to check" is removed by lineageos
