Its normal for android 12 cuz you have the green dot in the corner when an app is using the mic or the camera.

Yes was there from the get-go: NL/FR/EN/IT like in 18.1.

I just wiped the AOSP keyboard settings again (under Apps), added Dutch (Netherlands) as another language, but switching to that doesn't enable swiping either. Only FR/EN/IT allow me to use it. Extremely weird.

BTW, is 19 lacking profile support or am I not finding it?

Does anyone have GPS problems on this ROM? With 1.3 I got only 3..5 satellites in the GPS Test and "NO FIX", on G8441_47.2.A.11.228_1310-5279_R10C stock ROM I got 13 satellites (8 in use) and "3D FIX" with 10-20 meters precision at exactly the same position.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] derf elot:
Ah right, i forgot about that one.

Yeah, just tried this and for some reason Dutch Netherlands doesn't work. Dutch Belgium does though. No idea why that is.

Just tried it on a different device running 19.1 as well, and it doesn't work there either. 🇳🇱

As for profiles, do you mean the ones in "System -> System profiles" ?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] GT500s:
Yes i have problems with gps as well. I'm using GPS Status&Toolbox.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] GT500s:
I have problem with notification on screen. It always swows up and says "apps updates are ready . Connect to the internet to continue" and can't proceed to close it.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] derf elot:
I have never seen this screen before. Which gapps are you using?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] GT500s:
MindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm64-20220416_174313
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] .:B:.:
With the MindTheGapps as well? I'm considering trying OpenGApps just to see how that behaves.

For me, both Dutch NL and Dutch BE don't work.

Yep. What threw me off was I somehow couldn't find it through the settings search (don't ask...) and the panel entry for it seems to be gone completely. Which is annoying. But hey, iterate and deteriorate, right Google? :poop:
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] No1Alien:
For me the gapps will be glitched like yours if ROM was booted once before flashing Gapps. clean flash ROM + Gapps (+magisk if needed) together before booting into OS should fix this
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] .:B:.:
Just checked OpenGApps, and it looks like they have no public Android 12 packages available yet. Probably still pretty fresh.

Why Android auto doesn't work?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] WilcoSnel:
I just noticed the same. Used mindthegapps. Can I just flash flamegapps to fix this? Or should I get Magisk to hide root or something? I noticed a couple apps mentioning root as the reason to not start. Usually play services doesn't like that either.

Anybody else used mindthegapps that has no problem using android auto? If so, what's your config in terms of recovery, root manager etc.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] victor126:
since your using magisk try enabling zygisk beta, enforce denylist, then add Google play services and auto to the configure denylist dont forget to expand the entries
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] victor126:
and it does appear that flamegapps does have an auto addon

FlameGApps-QRS-addon-Drive-20220224.zip
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] victor126:
disregard that's Google drive addon
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] WilcoSnel:
Not running any su manager at the moment. But with the steps you mentioned, does Android Auto work for you?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] .:B:.:
@derf elot As evident from your checks, this is not an XZ1C specific issue. I did find a bug report on the LOS GitLab that seems to suggest this was a deliberate decision on the part of LOS developers, to strip multiple languages (hey who cares about Dutch right? Only 20+ million speakers in Europe anyway).

So will be looking for another GApps package.

Edit: FlameGApps has rather recent Android 12 packages, going to give those a shot. OpenGApps has beta packages floating around from Q4 2021.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] WilcoSnel:
Is there anyone with a working Android Auto here? I tried fixes from below post (and the rest of the thread). Doesn't work unfortunately. So looking for someone that got it working on the XZ1 compact.

Really now? I have the Motorola Moto G22 as a work phone,it has Android 12 and the status bar is centered. I also searched for screenshots of A12 on Google and I can't find any one that looks not centered like it does on this rom.

Other than that though, the rom is working well so far :D

Anyway, when an update comes, will it get notified like an ota update? Sorry for the dumb question, haven't dabbled in custom roms for a while now.

Hi, do those of you with GPS issues perform a clean or dirty install? (That's the most important thing deterring me from upgrading)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] victor126:
im on 17.1

did a clean sony firmware, did not setup.

flashed twrp, booted into twrp.

formatted data, rebooted to twrp.

wiped all internal partitions.

installed rom and flamegapps core.

and i have no proof but believe im having far less issues with gps.

This ROM is fantastic. Best performance and user experience I've ever gotten from my XZ1C. Big thanks to @derf elot for porting this.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] MarkMRL:
I am bouncing back and forth between this and 17.1 from the other thread. Right now, not sure wtf happened, I keep getting "Intent Filter Verification Service keeps stopping", every few minutes. Factory reseted and deleted everything, still does it. I googled it and it seems like it's related to MicroG, but I'm not using anything G, it even does it on the clean flashed rom.

Anyone else? Any idea?

But most importantly, is it safe to kill forever?

nvm I fixed it (by doing a full reset and reflashing the zip)

What does that service even do anyway?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] S-trace:
I did clean install.

1. Flashed 19.1 v1.3, noticed GPS problems.

2. Re-flashed stock G8441_47.2.A.11.228_1310-5279_R10C.ftf and noticed GPS is working much better (so hardware is OK).

3. Re-flashed 19.1 v1.3 according to the installation guide in the OP (with /data/ format and TWPR reboot), GPS works exactly as bad as it was on the first 19.1 v1.3 installation.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] S-trace:
It seems it may be a hardware or firmware revision related issue with GPS:

I have 2 XZ1c phones, and on the first (old) phone, GPS works fine on LineageOS 17, but on the second (new) GPS does not work well with exactly the same ROM.

I have extracted system, vendor and boot from the old phone and did clean flash extracted images to the new phone, but the new phone still has GPS problems.

How can I debug this problem?

UPD: After some time under clear sky with GPS Test running in foreground, new phone (with ROM from the old phone) finally got the GPS Fix (with approximately the same accuracy it got on stock) - so it is LineageOS 19 issue.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] belzedj:
Next update? Any solution for Android auto?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] matrix200200:
I am a bit confused.

Should I use mindthegapps arm64 bit or the plain arm version?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] landsome:
Install nikgapps and the separate auto module. Or the full nikgapps
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] matrix200200:
A few questions about this firmware.

Does it support double tap to wake? (I believe the hardware supports that).

Is there any way to enable navigation bar at the screen bottom with the usual back/home keys?

Is it possible to enable unknown apk installation from sdcard?

I only saw in settings enabling that on a per app basis.

EDIT:

1. So yeah apparently you can install apk from unknown sources out of the box? (it gave me a stern warning and let me proceed with magisk apk installation).

2. Regarding my previous post with a question about gapps apk, you should choose 64bit.

The two questions remain:

1. Double tap to wake.

2. Enable navigation bar with back and home keys.

EDIT2:

So yeah I enabled the navigation bar as I wanted.

And apparently xz1 compact doesn't support double tap to wake in hardware and the general recommendation is to install wave2wake which works (not as good as double tap, but usable).

I will continue to setup my phone and see how it goes.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] matrix200200:
One more question about this firmware.

Which audio codecs are supported by bluetooth?

In developer options all codecs are grayed out (as if unsupported).

Stock supports pretty much everything including aptx hd unless I am mistaken.

Is it included in the firmware?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Arcline:
You can get aptXHD with a magisk module! I think all others are supported besides it and the sony LDac
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] matrix200200:
Thanks for the reply.

I will search for it now.

Do I need to meddle with the developer settings where you can choose the audio codec to use though?

Or is best codec chosen automatically based on the audio device paired with the phone?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Arcline:
Dont know, i use wired headphones, but i think if your Bluetooth device supports it it should work.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] WilcoSnel:
Can I just flash these over Mindthegapps? Or do I have to start with a clean flash?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] landsome:
I suggest clean flash :(
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] WilcoSnel:
Yep, definitely clean flash. Full nikgapps flash just made my phone unusable. It boots, but pixel Launcher that's included, play store, play services are all freezing constantly with errors. Will try the uninstall of nikgapps that's listed on the site. But seems like I have to clean flash anyway...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] landsome:
Yes, clean flash and not necessarily full. You can install a basic package and the separate Android Auto package is this is what you are after.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] mstrnemo:
Is this a standard tekst or i can really install android 12 using twrp ?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] No1Alien:
All the aptX and LDAC codecs are supported, you have to connect your Bluetooth devices first, then you will see (and you can change if necessary) which one is in use in developer options.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] No1Alien:
Of course you can install, just follow the instructions. Formatting data is absolute necessary if you are coming from old android builds.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] WilcoSnel:
Full doesn't work. The pixel launcher keeps crashing. Tried several times. It removes the default trebuchet launcher so had to install a separate one from the play store, but then noticed play store says storage is full and can't download or install. Even though about 20 gb remains. Checking the config option now, but this doesn't look good so far.

-EDIT- Tried the config option. Disabled the below,

Appsets: PixelLauncher, GoogleFiles, CoreGo

Apps: GoogleKeep, Books, YoutubeMusic, Go Apps, Addon Packages

Play store just doesn't work. Can you please share your nikgapps config with the working android auto? And you are using the lineage rom on the XZ1 Compact right?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] landsome:
I no longer have the XZ1c. But the trick was to install something like nikgapps core and then the separate auto package. No need to go full package and mess with defaults like the launcher (it can be done subsequently by simply selecting the desired home launcher - don't install it as a system app).

Of course, a proper clean install is needed for the ROM, the nikgapps, and the auto. Auto won't work otherwise.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] WilcoSnel:
Ok, so that's basically what I did. Wiped everything, Flashed Lineage, Flashed my own nikkgapps with the core, apps I wanted anyway and android auto. But Play store and related services (part of the core) just don't work. Keeps saying it's offline. Tried removing all data + cache of related apps (which should fix this), but no dice.

Should I just go for MindTheGapps (Except for AA, that worked on my previous installation) and then make a NikGapps package containing just Android Auto and flash that?

-EDIT- Ok, apparently I used a wrong NikGapps package. Did another clean flash and used the correct full NikGapps package this time. Alle google services are working properly now. Even the Pixel launcher is working like a charm now. But here's the kicker. AA is still not working. So didn't gain an inch...

I have now tried all available Android 12.1 Gapps I know off (NikGapps, MindTheGapps, FlameGapps) with a clean flash. None of them have working AA. Tried several roms too. Unless someone else has gotten AA to work on an Android 11 or 12 rom for the XZ1 Compact this sure seems to be a bigger issue.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] mstrnemo:
I am confused? i understood that when a new android comes out it takes a while for twrp to get the newer android to work with.

forexample android 11 took crazy long for it to finally work on twrp and up to this point of typing this android 12 still doesnt work on twrp acording to twrp them self.

so what am i missing here ?

i am using a nearly year old twrp would this work ? or do i need to update to the latest twrp for my device ?

Also thank you for your hard work and giving us one more new android version for our last true compact phone.

where can i buy you a cup of coffee? i cannot find anything about this one the first page ?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] No1Alien:
The current latest official TWRP is able to flash the ROM. Except decrypting data encrypted by Android 12, it is all fine. This means you just can't see your data (i.e. internal storage) under TWRP, but that's not a problem for flashing a ROM: you can use `adb sideload`; or simply put the ROM, gapps etc in external sd card and flash.

I am just posting this thread here on request from @derf elot and this ROM is mostly his work, thus for the coffee thing you should ask him ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] mstrnemo:
I am not quite sure i understand ? so your private data needs to be moved to sd card or computer than flash the android 12 rom and put everything back ? and then you can see everything ?

TWRP 3.6.1 Released

TWRP 3.6.1 is out now for most currently supported devices.

twrp.me

strange they wouldnt mention this possibility on their log

anyway i am going to try flash it tomorrow thank you again
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] No1Alien:
Yes, you have to backup your data to anywhere else than internal storage, because you have to format it. Then you can flash the ROM and use it normally, TWRP can't decrypt the encrypted data of Android 12 doesn't affect you to use the ROM, that's two totally different thing.

I'd like to try the new Andorid 12 version, but I'm a happy microG user. Is there a way to install microG on this ROM? So far I haven't seen a way for signature spoofing on Android 12 and it's not natively supported by this ROM, right?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] mstrnemo:
Oke thanks i understand now thank you

i have never dirty flashed so i always do it like you mentioned ahahaha.

I also would like to know this.

@Yokurt815 doesnt lineage os always block it ? as far as i know you either need to patch it or use a linage os specific lineage rom that comes with microg build in. also i dont know how it works with unofficial lineage os? nor android 12
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Sonyfan_365:
Hi all,

recently I flashed this Rom on my XZ1C. It works fine but I can't get the following things to function:

-Android Auto

-split screen

For the stock Sony cam I found ProCam X as an good alternative.

Thank You for giving us Android 12 to our beloved last small xperia!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Arcline:
Install magisk, then Lsposed and get the nogapps xposed module.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Yokurt815:
It's not supported by default. For officially supported devices, there are lineage build with microg available: https://lineage.microg.org/

But of course not for all unofficial builds. It can either be patches before building or there are some hacks, see here: https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Signature-Spoofing

I myself have no Xposed framework installed, but have my phone rooted. But my search so far has not revealed a hack for Android 12.

Also it would be interesting, I haven't found the time to try building myself. And I don't have a powerful machine with a lot of free SSD space...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] landsome:
With a previous version of the ROMs (don't remember if 18.1 or 17.1) I used a basic (core?) nikgapps package and the separate nik auto package, both installed fresh after the ROM install.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Arcline:
Its working for me mate, this lineage build + microg. Microg is installed through the microg4magisk revived module, while the signature spoofing is granted through lsposed and the FakeGapps 2.0 xposed module. Then you install the backends and its working perfectly.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Yokurt815:
Thanks for the info. I haven't used LSPosed yet, but I'll try with the modules you mentioned.

The "4G Calling" switch is on, but greyed out. Nevertheless, when making a call the network stays on 4G and the "HD" sign is shown.

This is for O2/Telefonica Germany. It depends on your carrier. VoLTE needs to be supported for your carrier by stock ROM and it must be configured.

Yokurt815, thank you for your reply

I am using G8441 in Japan.

I flashed "G8441_O2 Pay monthly UK_47.2.A.11.228-R2C" and made VoLTE (DOCOMO) work after trial and error.

I stepped up and installed LOS12, but I don't have the skills to enable VoLTE.

I will try LOS11.

I'm sorry for the strange English.

Thank you very much.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Yokurt815:
I don't think you have more luck with older LOS (you mean Android 11 <-> LOS18.1?). I'm not a developer, but my understanding is, the IMS (VoLTE) part is the same.

There is a short FAQ on IMS in the Havoc thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-havoc-os-4-6-official-r.4225905/#post-84389929

Did you enable "IMS feature" in "Settings -> Xperia Parts"?

Does the selected modem fit to your carrier? If not try to find suitable one in "Modem Switcher Activity".

Hey, I'm wanting to upgrade to LOS soon.

I'll have to try dirty upgrading first tho; the banking app from my origin country is validated and somehow "linked" to this phone and OS and I'm certain that, were I to clean install (or factory reset), I'd have to set up this again (for which I'd have to be in my country whereas I'm living abroad).

To anyone more versed on the subject: do you think if I dirty upgraded the phone would still be recognizable as "the same" and the app would work accordingly?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] 4qx:
It depends entirely on the app. I had two banking apps installed which I backed up with NeoBackup. After restoration, one of them worked right away without asking me to re-send a confirmation text, while the other one wouldn't let me log in without it.

I wouldn't risk it, though if can also manage your banking via browser, maybe losing the app isn't such a big thing.
