[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] davestuarts:
right, finally getting chance to update sisters phone from LOS18 to 20 but wow downloading from sourceforge is slow and only one link, no mirrors.

Update. Cleaned and freshly installed LOS 20. Runs really nice, smooth and no hiccups.

Its nice to see this phone supprted in some way as its a decent specced phone and very usable plus saves throwing away, kudos to the team of developers. I like the extra Sony features/tweaks too, very useful.

The only hiccup I made was with Signal app. I used neo backup this time, as its more up-to-date and worked on but I/it messed up the transfer of Signal, so all threads are now lost.

I need a better way for next time or manually backup the backups (duh me).

Please publish the new changelog :D
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] petefoth:
I have built an unofficial LineageOS for microG ROM, using the Whatawurst sources. It is available on sourceforge:

lineage-20.0-20240122-4microg-UNOFFICIAL-poplar.zip

It can be installed as normal using the usual TWRP: https://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshino/files/poplar/twrp/

Thanks to the developers credited in the first post.

Any / all feedback is welcomed either here, or in the LineageOS for microG thread.

Note this ROM is not tested, as I don't own one of these devices: use at your own risk
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] petefoth:
Is anyone here running the ROM (either the 'normal' LineageOS or my los4microG version) on the dual SIM version of the phone?

If so, does the dual SIM functionality work?

Thanks

Hello,

I'm getting an error when I try and install the ROM. Can anyone see an obvious mistake?

Here is a screenshot of the error:

and here is the fastboot command that I entered:

Like I say, i've probably made an obvious mistake, but I can't see what it is.

I would appreciate any help.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] fumbles22:
Don't worry, I discovered the problem.

I flashed twrp-3.7.0_9-0-poplar.img that I downloaded from the lineage 19 page. When I tried flashing the rom again it said that the zip file was corrupt. It was nice to have an error sentence to follow!

I think part of the file was missing. I used a different sd card and it worked perfectly.

This rom feels really nice. I did this for my mum, and she really likes the simplicity of the interface.

Mum approved!
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] fumbles22:
Hello,

I thought i would post a link to the gapps and the actual twrp file that I used.

I used twrp-3.7.0_9-0-poplar.img instead of version 3.6 that was listed in the original post. I found this twrp had more error codes which I found useful when troubleshooting.

I also flashed NikGapps instead of MindTheGapps. Someone on the first page mentioned that they wanted a version that did not contain google. I like the "core" package from NikGapps:

A description of NikGapps:

[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] fumbles22:
Will the changelog be updated?

I thought any updates would be for LineageOS 21?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] petefoth:
There is now an up-to-date LineageOS for microG build available for download from https://download.lineage.microg.org/poplar/.

lineage-20.0-20240217-microG-UNOFFICIAL-poplar.zip​

The build is made by the LineageOS for microG project, is signed with their keys rather than my keys. So if you install it usingn `adb sideload` it may fail signature verification: choose 'Install anyway'

Future updates should be available OTA in the Updater app.

I have installed and run this build, and it seems to work OK.

EDIT:

Please see this post in a different thread for a clarification about the 'official/unofficial` status of the lineageos4microG builds
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] nhojeric214:
Is this LOS 21? It's not yet posted?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] fumbles22:
Hello,

I just installed the new Micro G version that was posted by petefoth. I sideloaded it, but didn't get an error message:

View attachment 6071700

The install was really easy.

The ROM itself is smooth and just like the one listed in the very first post. However, f-droid and microG settings are installed by default. This is useful since I don't need to install f droid myself.

I wouldn't install gapps. I would just install Aurora store through f-droid and get any play store apps that way (see below where I have brave browser but no play store).

View attachment 6071699

Overall a great ROM. I'll mess with it more and see if I can break it.

I''m looking forward to the updates too.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] fumbles22:
Also, is there any way this microG ROM could be released for the XZ premium?

The XZ1 and XZ premium are basically the same phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] petefoth:
I would need a working manifest. For XZ1 I used the manifest from the IodéOS repos
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Tux111:
LOS 20, last update for 13. Its on the first page.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Tux111:
Lmao, 1.5 is the last 13 one, so next update would be 14 ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] nhojeric214:
I thought you'd put in 14 coz the latest uploaded on sf is last december and you made an announcement regarding new update just this month :D
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] petefoth:
OK, this is definitely a possibility :)

There is now a version specifically for the Dual SIM version XZ1 (poplar_dsds). It can be found at https://download.lineage.microg.org/poplar_dsds/. Note that to install it you will need to flash the poplar_dsds specific TWRP image twrp-3.6.2_12-0-20221002-poplar_dsds.img. If you use the standard single SIM TWRP image, it will refuse to install the Dual SIM ROM.

On my own dual SIM XZ1 phone, I dirty flashed this build over my earlier single SIM lineage-20.0-20240217-microG-UNOFFICIAL-poplar.zip build (once I had the correct TWRP installed), and everything seems to be running normally. Both SIM slots appear in Settings | About phone screens. I use and SD card in this phone, so I haven't tried inserting and using a second SIM. I'd be happy to know whether or not it works :)

Builds for the both XZ Premium, both single SIM maple and dual SIM maple-dsds versions are in progress. Keep an eye on https://download.lineage.microg.org/maple/ for the single SIM ROM, and https://download.lineage.microg.org/maple_dsds/ for the dual SIM. Again, you will need the dual SIM specific TWRP from https://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshino/files/maple/twrp/ to install.

All of these builds, for XZ1 & XZ1 Premium, should get regular monthly OTA updates, including the lastest Android security updates via LineageOS, in the monthly LineageOS for microG build runs.

When the lineage-21.0 / Android 14 code is ready for all the XZ devices, they should all get a lineage-21.0 LineageOS for microG build. Whether they will be installable OTA using the Updater app, is a question for the future :)

If you have any feedback on the LineageOS for microG builds, please feel free to post in our dedicated XDA forum thread

Have fun!
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] petefoth:
Unofficial IodéOS builds

There is an official build of IodéOS for the single-SIM XZ1 (poplar) - see here.

Unofficial builds are now available for the dual-SIM version (poplar_dsds), at https://sourceforge.net/projects/pf-custom-roms/files/poplar/IodeOS/

Note that this build is untested, as I do not own a devices on which to test it.

If you have any feedback on this IodéOS builds, please feel free to post a reply to this thread in the IodeOS community forums

Note that these builds will not receive OTA updates. I will post in the IodeOS community forum thread when new builds are available. Or you can subscribe to the RSS feed for the sourceforge directory
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] fumbles22:
OOO, interesting. It's really strange how similar the XZ1 and XZ Premium are. I think the only difference is that the XZ premium has a better screen (larger with a greater resolution than the XZ1), a bigger battery and different speakers. I suppose it's good from a programming point of view since someone would only need to make minor code alterations to go from one to the other.

Then again, i'm not an expert, so it might be more complicated than that. I should really have "not an expert" as my signature!

Been there, done that!

It's not a big deal if you do get this problem - just follow these steps from the LineageOS website:

Install LineageOS on akari | LineageOS Wiki

wiki.lineageos.org

and reinstall TWRP again (as peteforth says).

It looks like the files are there right now. I'll flash it when I can and report back. My XZ Premium is my main phone, and I use it for work, so it might be some time before I get a long enough break to flash it.

I know people say it all the time, but Lineage really does extend the life of older devices.

Just out of interest, do you know when Android 14 will be available for the XZ1 and XZ Premium?

Will do. I just had a look and saw some interesting discussions on there.

Of course!!

Check your bootloader info, and make sure everything is unlocked

[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] fumbles22:
Hello,

Firstly, I have learnt a thing or two since that post. I learnt that the TWRP 3.6 given at the start of this thread is actually newer than TWRP version 3.7. Install that version instead.

Secondly, as Khuska said, it appears that something is locked:

"Flashing is not allowed in Lock State'"

^^This line looks really suspicious.

Did you get the unlock code from the Sony website? If you turn your phone on now, does it display an unlocked padlock?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] gpz900ra7:
Good morning and cheers for your reply.

Yeah it turns out the bootloader was locked, so I unlocked that and managed to get the phone flashed, eventually, but the NikGapps doesn't seem to work so I'm going to use the other one that you list, MindTheGapps and hopefully that will work. 🤞🤞.

I am also having some trouble trying to install apps from the Play store so will give that some more attention.

Once again many thanks for your time in replying, it means a lot.

Welcome to the family!

I found it difficult installing the software when I did it for the first time. There was a lot of information, but it was spread out over lots of different websites; it's why I chose to consolidate the information and write that post.

I'm not sure why you're having problems with the play store. I think I read somewhere that you needed to install both lineageOS and gapps BEFORE starting the phone for the first time. Maybe that's the problem?

If not, the latest nikgapps can be found here:

NikGapps - Browse /Releases/NikGapps-T/20-Apr-2024 at SourceForge.net

A Custom Google Apps Package that Suits Everyone Needs!

sourceforge.net

and, if you are reading this in the future, the index page is here (choose the latest release):

NikGapps - Browse /Releases/NikGapps-T at SourceForge.net

A Custom Google Apps Package that Suits Everyone Needs!

sourceforge.net

Maybe you just need the latest version?

Alternatively, if you want to go "off grid" and degoogle your phone, you could install LineageOS + MicroG. The files can be found here:

/

Hit "ctrl + f" and searh for "poplar". "poplar_dsds/" is the dual sim version, and "poplar" is the single sim version.

This doesn't use gapps at all, so it's just the single install, but you may find that the lack of Google Mobile Services (GMS) causes other problems. I use it since I fell down the privacy rabbithole - it may not be suitable for the average user.

Finally, you could always install fdroid:

F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.

f-droid.org

This is an alternate app store that is populated by Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). I think it is better than the play store since there are no adverts on any of the apps. Maybe you could find alternate versions of your troublesome apps on here?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] gpz900ra7:
Well after some further messing about, I think I have finally got this crazy phone sorted, but I'm still not holding my breath though just yet, ;)🤞.

One thing I am really miffed about though is my contacts have all disappeared as they weren't stored up on the sim card, but hey ho, I don't speak to many people anyway, 🤣.

Once again many thanks for your help in this matter, you have been extremely helpful, (y)😎.

I wonder if my partner will let me loose on her HTC, :unsure:, only joking, she would bury me in the garden :giggle:
[Sony Xperia XZ1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] fumbles22:
Originally, I had mine backed up to the google cloud thing. They autoloaded when I signed into my google account after the installation. However, since I started using lineagoOS and MicroG, I wrote all of the contact numbers on paper beforehand and typed them manually into the phone. Digital technology is good, but sometimes you can't beat a pen and paper.

lol, I accidentally broke a brake nipple on my sister's car. That cost be a lot of time and money to get right!

I seem to have encountered a major problem while following this post... I followed all the steps till 6 and typed in the given into cmd but it did not return the same error but

Now the device will not power on or go into twrp... I suspect that I've made a rookie mistake somewhere and could have possibly hard-bricked my device.

Additionally, every time I plug in the kindle to my pc it'll open multiple dialog boxes saying, "you need to format the disk before using it". Moreover, when connected the device is displayed as QHSUSB_BULK (which is supposed to be the kindle in bulk mode..?)
