Ok, Flamegapps Device Health Services app and Google app seem to be not working correctly.

Probably better follow the LineageOS advice regarding gapps (make sure to flash gapps directly after flashing the ROM):

Google App potentially causing high accu battery drain with Mindthegapps too though (experienced it on crDroid with Mindthegapps).

New build 2022-11-23 is up (download link in first post).

LOS 18.1 as of 2022-11-21

More tuning and possible battery optimizations:

- Kernel tuned for cortex-a57.cortex-a53 big.little setup (crashes on crdroid were crdroid related, not kernel related)

- VM optimizations for cortex-a57

- Using Open GL ES 3.2 now in build.prop (instead of 3.1 as wrongly stated there before, drivers were already 3.2)

- boot process limited to CPUs 0-3

- some more optimizations in /system/build.prop

Clean flash or semi clean flash at least recommended (wipe Dalvik, Cache, System partitions, or if possible also Data partition)

PS: I'm staying on LOS now because of crashes on crDroid still occuring under high load (even with standard kernel)

Edit: modified files regarding ROM version 2022-11-23 here:

My gf broke her phone and is using my Xperia Z5 now (my main phone is a Google Pixel 2 XL nowaday).

Regarding telephoning, i noted there are more crackling sounds with VoLTE in mobile settings on, and less crackling when VoLTE is switched off (german Telekom carrier). This may be also because of SmartPack throttling down the CPUs in my setup, but not sure of that.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] psi78:
well as it happens, gf uses the phone in another way than me, and for some reason the keyboard reacted sometimes not or very slow.

in the end i deinstalled Smartpack to just deactivate all the CPU throttling and also installed Gboard.

(Extreme) Battery Saver mode and Naptime still do a lot for cooldown though - CPU cores 0-3 still throttling down to lower frequencies with Battery saver, and naptime putting unused apps quicker to deep sleep.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] H3ADROOM:
Ah, crackling noise, for some reason it occurs frequently with system sounds (ringtone, button presses, etc.)

I have bought my mom a new phone, so I can test things on Z5 now.

Hello, during videocalls via viber the person I am calling with is hearing himself as an echo. Has enyone such problem? I dont know if it is spec of this phone or is something wrong, I didnt use this phone with stock rom before lineageos. Thanks.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _harley:
in regards to audio crackling i have been suspecting that it's rendering the audio via Software Rendering (CPU gets overloaded hence Audio Crackling) instead of utilizing the built-in Qualcomm DAC for Hardware rendering if this is not the case then you might want to look on the playback bitrate and frequency. As far as i remember tarkzim set the audio bitrate and frequency to 32-Bit/48KHz while on the previous build from sony it was only at 24-Bit/192KHz
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] psi78:
Don't have any experience with Viber, sry. In case you want to test it on stock Sony ROM, you can use Sony's Flash Tool "EMMA" to go back to stock ROM:

https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool/
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] psi78:
Sounds plausible👍

Edit: Audio crackling may be a different issue than audio echos though?🤔

There are some threads about voice echos here on xda, some attributing it to phone cases/covers, some to hardware problems, some to noise reduction, but i don't have a clue atm if it's possible to change that.

When i do video calls in home office (on PC with webcam) i sometimes experience the problem of hearing echos.of my voice when the other person isn't using headphones, and the voice coming out of the other person's speaker is loud and recorded by their microphone again. The other person using headphones is a workaround for that, but not sure if that's a similar issue there @Ramon111 . Does it work for you with other devices than the Z5?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _harley:
you may want to check the mixer_paths.xml for the volume configuration of each mics in the Z5 there has been a lot of revisions from the stock A7 to A12 in regards with the mixer_paths for the mic (newer version A12 had revisions of it from tarzkim)

what i noticed with these custom roms is that you can't utilize the microphone properly, not only does it sound bad it also doesn't work on a lot of applications (examples being: Discord, Messenger, Microsoft Teams) fixing the mixer_paths and other audio configuration files would likely improve the audio quality of the Z5
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _harley:

3. With sumirecleanapp.sh:

Hi!

Is this ROM for the dual SIM Xperia Z5 or not? If not, can you please give me a link for the dual SIM version.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] psi78:
Not specifically, so this ROM probably will not work or may break something. The kitakami device drivers are the same for or Z5 and Z5 dual, but there are still some specific device files for Z5.

I'd suggest you look for ROMs with model numbers E6633 and E6683 (Xperia Z5 Dual) or E6833 and E6883 (Xperia Z5 Premium Dual), depending on your model
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] redfox750:
installed on my z3+ but camera app don't open, used open camera but says can't open camera, used by another app, is there a fix?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] psi78:
this ROM is for Xperia Z5 (model number E6653), not Z3+

Xperia Z3+ model numbers (i'd suggest to look for these on xda forum): E6533 (Dual-SIM), E6553
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] redfox750:
i know that, but there is no camera working rom for it sence android 7.1!!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] psi78:
Yeah that's unfortunate. This ROM's device drivers are based on the Sony kitakami-common platform, with adaptations for Xperia Z5/E6653/sumire.

For a list of kitakami models see here for example: https://device.report/bluetooth/19060

So while some features may work on other (kitakami) models, i think Z3+ is too different in some ways, and i think it has a different camera than the Z5 and probably different hardware drivers.

If you wanna go really further you could try to recompile LineageOS with the sources mentioned here and integrate the device drivers of E6633, but probably you'd need another kernel too or kernel adaptions, so things will get complicated fast😆
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] psi78:

There's a "Gcam - Google Camera Port" app in Playstore which lets you select and download an apk for Z5 or Z3+, you could try that
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] redfox750:
perfect but camera not working, focus issue, on android 10,11,12!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] psi78:
yeah, it's similar on this ROM

However i changed in /system/build.prop

camera.disable_zsl_mode=0

This seemed to help for some situations wirh close range focus.

You can do that yourself with the correct ROM for Z3+ and editing build.prop from TWRP editor or shell after mounting system partition as writable.

Also Hedgecam (Playstore app) or possibly that gcam port may help to make it easier getting focused pictures, but in Hedgecam the problem is still there in part

or you go back to Android 7 with Sony EMMA flash tool😬

Thanks for sidd for show me the way ;)

I create my own, simple and cute script for MortScript:

Rotate(270)
Runwait( "\Internal Storage\Program Files\Navigator\Tomtom Navigator.exe" )
Rotate(0)

And save it as TomTom7.mscr file in my TomTom installation folder. Next, I create shortcut in StartMenu and rename it to 'TomTom7 (Landscape)'.

Last step is just for tuning ;) To change icon of shortcut, I edited lnk file (in Start Menu) with Notes application, and change the default value from:

XX#“\Internal Storage\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom7.mscr”

to

XX#“\Internal Storage\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom7.mscr” ?\Internal Storage\Program Files\Navigator\Tomtom Navigator.exe,-101

where XX is the 'size of overall string after hash (#) character...', for example:

126#“\Internal Storage\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom7.mscr” ?\Internal Storage\Program Files\Navigator\Tomtom Navigator.exe,-101

Thats all. I have two icons (TomTom 7 and TomTom 7 (Landscape)), and in diffrent situations just use correct ;)))

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] kevin14:
Hi all, I currently have a G7+ with the model number LM-G710EAW. From this site, there's a few EAW's that get the android 10 update, that is the HK, KR, and SEA. To this day, my phone is still on Android 8. Since that the only way to check the phone region via IMEI is now gone, I have to assume that my phone's region is IDN (I bought it in one of Indonesia's domestic store). With that, I have a few questions

1. Is it safe to flash a SEA KDZ to a IDN phone? Is there any possibility of bricking it?

2. What about the baseband compatibility? Can I still use the cellular network?

3. Is there another way to check an LG phone's region?

Thanks in advance!
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Sherpaxxx:
Hello,

I have a Huawei P30 Pro sw EMUI 12.0.0.134(C461E1R1P2) VLOG-L29 and I cannot connect to Android Auto (Mercedes Benz). the problem must be an incompatibility of P30 PRO since the AA works fine with other Phones.

I've reset Mem&cache of AA App, updated the AA SW version and the other Apps. Also testing developer AA menu optons.

I have come to connect sometimes with difficulty to AA car but I am not able to find a pattern so that it works well continuously. When I try to connect again it doesn't work.

My AA version is 8.3.624134.

I am surprised that there is no posts about it since I imagine that Huawei phones will have many compatibility problems with AA.

Anybody can help me?

Now I can connect. I've done three actions:

1. Buy a new official cable.

2. Update all the Apps. It's important that Google assistant works well.

3. In developers menu, tick on developer mode.

Now AA works fine but sometimes it disconnects. Maybe I have to revise battery savings App conf., or the screen must be ON all the time. I don't know ..
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] draskome:
I've used P30 pro for both wired and wireless AA without any problem for more than year. So .

- You dont need official Huawei USB cable, any decent cable will do. I believe that was your problem, bad cable

- Updating all apps is in general good thing to do, but it doesn't influence connection with AA at all

- Forget developers mode, please 🌝. No need to think about it, and you actually may harm your phone by playing with it. It doesn't have any influence on AA

Enjoy AA in your vehicle 👍
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Sherpaxxx:
I completely agree with your appreciations. I’ve forgotten using developers mode and it seems to work. I bought a high quality cable and I cleaned the USB-C connector.

(variable from 2-10 minutes). I am testing some things: AA permissions, non Battery savings, always on of the screen … but I can't find a pattern. Any idea what can be the problem? Does it happened the same to you with your P30 PRO wired to AA?

[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] draskome:
I've switched to S22U last two months, so i cant share fresh experiences, but i can say that i haven't had any disconnection issues while P30p was not moving while connected to car.

But, when i moved phone for any reason, it would lost connection occasionaly. I've concluded that was caused by weak connection, and haven't investigated it further.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Sherpaxxx:
well, In my case it seems to be a cabling problem. I bought 2 high-quality cables, 1-meter long and 2-meter long. I had tested the shorter one. This morning I tested the longest one and my P30 isn't able to connect AA.

I'll buy a shorter cable (0,3 or 0,5m) in order to test again..

The reset hole itself is visible once you remove the stylus
