Install signal? I don't understand....

And what is lineage 20 light or TD..?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Magazynier666:
What error are you getting? And where did you get Signal app from?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] KryptonicDragon:
Alas, I have noticed a missing feature with this ROM on my XQ-BC62: reverse wireless charging!

Any idea on how to get it back?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] clfbbn:
I have looked into it before and it seems implementing this feature needs much more effort than I originally thought. So I would say no for now.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] KryptonicDragon:
Ah, I see. Luckily it's not too much of a loss, it's a rather niche feature and the fact that it took me so long to notice it was missing shows that.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] sieghartRM:
I have not used Sony phone since Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact.

Do I need to do anything before unlocking the bootloader? Like backing up DRM keys.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Amusing3-Bolster-Stitch:
I am getting the 'Unable to connect to services' error which is what Signal shows when it cannot connect to FCM/GCM service. I got Signal from Aurora, but I also tried from apkmirror. I tried a few different versions too.

Signal is the app for messaging. Basically, on latest Lineage 20 version TD or Light (GSI roms) it works but not on this rom. I guess I'm not sure why since it's based on it
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Magazynier666:
Odd. After having a quick look on Signals troubleshooting page they mention google plav services but I'm sure I had Signal on unnoficial LOS19 rom for XZ premium so no Gapps and the app worked. Sorry no idea
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Amusing3-Bolster-Stitch:
Yea that's my issue.. it works on LOS20 but not here..

if anyone running this rom can try installing signal with whatever google-app services you've got, would help me to know if it works for you
[Sony Xperia 1 III] toastal:
Would Molly work as a Signal alternative? I thought the Play Services were required only for Push, and Molly IIRC can use UnifiedPush @ this open merge request (I have yet to try it unmerged). That said and as noted, I thought the official APK works without Play Services (and is on my current microG Xiaomi phone). Signal is a pretty big battery drain without Play Services though--and its requirements of SIM+Android/iOS primary device are turn-offs.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steveglowplunk:
Is there a list of working hardware features? Particularly:

120hz refresh rate?

Notification LED?

USB OTG?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
Should all work but charger features are probably missing, but the ones you listed work for me on riceDroid (i built using bbn's trees as base so what works/doesn't work on his trees is the same for me) but Rice includes the charging features but that's about it :)
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steveglowplunk:
What are the "charging features"?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Amusing3-Bolster-Stitch:
thanks great suggestion, yes Molly-FOSS works, and better still it allows downgrading from Molly to Molly-FOSS without re-registering
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
Like battery care and hs power control on stock
[Sony Xperia 1 III] MK73DS:
Is the system rendering at 4k or 1080p?

And more generally, are there known bugs? I already saw the reverse wireless charging issue, but are there more?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] clfbbn:
It is rendering in 1080p. While it is possible to change the resolution to 4k, the system does not have a setting switch for it.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] sieghartRM:
Really nice to nice to be back on Sony device with LineageOS.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] season 8:
Can I flash it on my Xperia 1iii single sim? (So-51B with bootloader unlocked)
[Sony Xperia 1 III] sieghartRM:
Is there anything I need to do before updating to March LineageOS update?

Is there a post of changes since the initial LineageOS release?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] DrDrag0n:
Great rom overall but reverted back to stock as there was a few small glitches/bugs with stock cam and a few other things like Bluetooth audio and calling When connected to my car

Was amazing to use otherwise
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steveglowplunk:
What are the glitches exactly with the camera (sony's stock camera app or the camera in general) and bluetooth audio? I'm planning on installing this rom so I'd like to know more.

Update:

I understand now after using the rom and Sony's Photo Pro app myself. The camera app freezes for about a second after taking a photo. Slightly annoying but not unusable. I haven't used bluetooth audio on phone calls yet so I don't know about that.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] 500vnd:
I am using light theme but texts and setting icon in QS are white
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steveglowplunk:
I have just flashed the lineage-20.0-20230320-UNOFFICIAL-pdx215 version, and the first roadblock that I ran into is that the wifi doesn't seem to work. When connected to a wifi network, it says "Connected / No Internet Access" (see screenshot attached). I cannot browse any website, nor my wifi router's management page. However, mobile data Internet does work.

I have rebooted my phone already and I'm very sure that the wifi network does work (I'm writing this on the same wifi). What can I do to help fixing this?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steveglowplunk:
Well I just found a strange workaround. If I select "use device MAC" rather than "use randomised MAC", the wifi network works. I suppose there's something wrong with the randomised MAC address feature.

UPDATE:

I just realised what went wrong – it was my wifi router, not the ROM's issue. It has something to do with how I reserved some local IP addresses with specific MAC addresses, and the phone just so happens to attempt using those reserved IP addresses.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steveglowplunk:
Been using this rom for a while now and most things are working fine so far. However, there are a few strange quirks here and there so I'd like to ask if anyone has the same issues too.

Do note that I have kirisakura kernel, magisk and LSPosed installed.

Screen colour calibration through "settings - display - LiveDisplay" resets on reboot

When using 120 hz screen refresh rate (settings - display - smooth display), the minimum screen brightness allowed is slightly lower than that of 60 hz, which makes the screen display a purple tint on lowest brightness (likely an OLED screen quirk). It would be great to make the minimum brightness allowed the same as that of 60 hz.

"Double" tap to wake (settings - display - tap to wake) actually takes like a dozen taps to wake the phone after screen off for a while (not sure how long to trigger this glitch, works fine if you double tap shortly after locking the phone)

Home long press action (settings - buttons - home long press action) does nothing (although likely to be a problem on LineageOS's side). Also, the long press time on back button is way too short (it used to be 2 seconds on LineageOS 15.1). It's ever slightly irritating since I use back button long press to kill foreground apps, and the short delay makes it easy to accidentally trigger the kill.

Update:

Problem 4 is fixed on official LOS 20, version 20230510-nightly.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] clfbbn:
1 is a known issue, will be addressed later

3 is because you are using kirisakura's kernel, which misses some patches required.

2: it is implemented, when brightness is low it should only do 60hz, but if might not work properly.

4. Long press home does something for me
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steveglowplunk:
4. Does long press home really work? That's the first thing I tested back when I freshly installed LOS. Can you try setting it to turn off screen on long press? That's a habit I'm used to since my old phone on LOS 15.1 so it'd be nice to get that specific action working.

For 2, what I meant is when 120 hz is enabled, minimum brightness is too low. When 60 hz is enabled, minimum brightness is higher so it's perfect. It'd be fantastic if both 120 hz and 60 hz's minimum brightness are the same.

Although of course it could be the custom kernel. I'll have to test it.

For the other issues, I will try flashing the stock kernel and check again. Although the kirisakura kernel's cpu clock speed limit feature is kind of necessary to make the battery life somewhat bearable.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] clfbbn:
Yes, long press home works.

2: sorry, I can't do that for now
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steveglowplunk:
I just flashed the stock kernel that came with the rom (that means no root and LSPosed) and all of the above problem still persists, including double tap to wake. :confused:

As for long press home, are we really using the same build on March 30? It has never worked for me even on fresh install.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] clfbbn:
Sorry about the point the dt2w thing, the problem seem to happen on my device.

Sadly it seems to be something related to the proximity check, so there is nothing I can do about that, at least for now.

And yes, I can long press home to turn off my screen
[Sony Xperia 1 III] sieghartRM:
I switched from unofficial to official LOS.

Is it normal to be able switch from unofficial to official LOS without losing data?

I am only asking this since I installed the official LOS this way and I did not have to factory reset as written in the wiki guides
[Sony Xperia 1 III] clfbbn:
Normally you need to do a factory reset.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] sieghartRM:
Thanks, for confirming about requiring factory reset.

I was experimenting to see whether I could switch to official from unofficial without wiping data and it worked.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steveglowplunk:
For double tap to wake, I should mention that if I have fingerprint unlock set up, and I touch the fingerprint sensor (with an unregistered fingerprint) before double tapping, it is guaranteed to wake the phone.

Does that have something to do with the phone going into some sort of deep sleep mode?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steveglowplunk:
Probably unrelated, but is it true that LOS 20 on this phone has finally gone official? ( https://download.lineageos.org/devices/pdx215/builds )

Can I expect the official nightly version be more stable than this unofficial build, which hasn't updated since March 30?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] sieghartRM:
Yes Sony Xperia 1 III has gone official and I believe it should be more stable than than March 30th version, since it is unofficial and does not contains all changes merged from March 30th to May 10th in official build with May security patch.

I am currently using the official build and for me it feels smoother and it did get rid of the notification about build using public keys on each reboot.

Edit: Sony Xperia 5 III is also official https://download.lineageos.org/devices/pdx214.

Edit 2: Corrected link for Sony Xperia 5 III.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
wrong link lmao https://download.lineageos.org/devices/pdx214/changes
[Sony Xperia 1 III] sieghartRM:
Yeah, I linked in incorrect link (thanks to my browser showing wrong link) thanks for posting correct one.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steveglowplunk:
Home long press action now works on official version 20230510-nightly, on a fresh install. :)

As for the other problems, they remain unfixed.

Edit:

The point about minimum screen brightness seems to have been fixed too, though it's really is fixed by automatically switching to 60 hz on low brightness.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kevinmcmurtrie:
Sweet! I see an official LOS!

Does anyone know if this fixes (or enables fixing) crippled carrier features? My biggest complaint about the XQ-BC62 is no VoWiFi and effectively disabled 5G on T-Mobile (SA/NSA settings are reversed for all but NR41).
[Sony Xperia 1 III] DrDrag0n:
Yip 5g + VOLTE & VOWIFI are enabled on custom roms. I'm using them now
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steveglowplunk:
Sorry to keep bugging this thread but there's another small problem.

Notification light brightness (settings - notifications - notification light - brightness levels) does not seem to actually apply when there are real notifications (like emails or messaging apps notifications). Or is it the expected behaviour that notification lights go on full brightness regardless of the brightness settings when "choose colours automatically" is on?

I would really like to be able to limit the brightness of the notification LED light, since it's way too bright by default.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kevinmcmurtrie:
They're definitely not working on my phone (XQ-BC62). WiFi calling can be turned on but it can't be used. 5G still doesn't work. The only change is that the phone no longer lies about having 5G.

I've been trying to fix the Qualcomm config but can't get QPST working in a Windows VM. I'm probably just installing malware.

Edit: I found Sony's MBN file and it's clearly incorrect for North America T-Mobile.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kevinmcmurtrie:
I've been using LineageOS for on a XQ-BC62 a week now and it's good!

Broken stock, broken in LineageOs:

5G crippled in MBN files

VoWiFi on T-Mobile

USB 3 data unstable (probably chipset)

Broken in LineageOs, works stock:

Google Wallet (Google's fault)

Two-level notification LED (dim color for charge state + brighter blink for notifications)

Notification LED and lock screen notification brightness don't follow ambient light

MicroSD card shows corrupted after using it in a computer

Fixed in LineageOs, broken stock:

LTE/5G indicator

Screen brightness following ambient light

Lock screen notification content

Fingerprint, touchscreen, and UX stability while phone is in hand
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steveglowplunk:
What do you mean by the point "Two-level notification LED"? In my situation, I can dim the charging lights but the notification lights remain at full brightness regardless of settings, which is annoying.

Also, micro sd card works for me after using it on a Windows pc and even an ipad (yes) through a usb reader. Although I have the card formated in exfat.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kevinmcmurtrie:
When charged, the notification LED had a slight green glow and then pulsed more brightly for a notification. Both followed ambient light. I seem to be able to turn down the charging LED intensity in LineageOS but the others only support full-on or full-off of an LED color. Notifications were always FUBAR in stock so the imperfections in LineageOS are still a huge improvement.

LineageOS claimed that the microSD card was corrupted coming off stock. Two more times it claimed the microSD card was corrupted after using it in a Linux computer. Nothing else can detect corruption so I don't know why it's complaining. Logcat showed a permissions error right before it failed to mount. Maybe it can't fix that weird file that looks like an improvised transaction log? There's 600+ GB on my card so I'm scared to try taking it out again. This phone has an intermittent USB 3 interface so that means slowly repopulating it with USB 2 or CIFS/Ethernet. It takes a day. I can't find a spare card at the moment - I always find a use for them.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steveglowplunk:
I now might have an idea as to why home long press action doesn't work.

If you disabled "hold home for assistant" through settings - system - gestures - system navigation - 3-button navigation - hold home for assistant, home long press action in the buttons settings won't work.

I might have disabled this setting in my previous installtion without realising it. So it's my mistake after all.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Andrew Lin:
Has anyone made photography pro work here? Thanks!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] clfbbn:
Xperia Camera - Google Drive

drive.google.com
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Andrew Lin:
Thanks a lot!

I wonder if it's possible to make Dolby Atmos work too 😁 The speakers just don't sound as full as stock with Dolby
[Sony Xperia 1 III] clfbbn:
Sadly this will not be supported
[Sony Xperia 1 III] redroseblackrose:
Really appriciated! That has removed the last pain-point for me and it feels amazing that I'm able to use LOS without any compromises (from my perspective)! I will donate to lineage since you said you don't want any but really I'm so happy and thankful for your work!

I'm a bit new to such modding, might I ask how you did to get the apk, and to get it to install, use the shutter button etc.? Is it possible/will you upload new apks if sony ever updates their apps? Actually for example it seems like photography pro was updated last on 13 june (version 1.5.1.A.1.0) according to apkmirror..

Second question: Since this is official now, where should one report bugs one finds using the device? Is it here: https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android tagged with pdx215 or do you prefer somewhere else?

Can we regard this as a thread about the official LOS version now?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Poluvagon hopper:
Hi! I'm flashing latest version Lineage OS from XQ-BC52.

Flashing without errors, bootloader unlocked, adb-debugging "on", drivers installed, and have some problem:

1. Internal memory 110 GB, but not 256 GB.

2. Display brightness level changed without control me (brighter, dimmer), when automatically brightness disabled.

3. Without Gapps some apps working incorrect.

4. App messages can't delete message.

Good luck and Thanks!)
[Sony Xperia 1 III] ilukin:
Hi!

I want to try LinageOS 20 on my XQ-BC72, and I want to save the opportunity to return to stock if something will go wrong. But I can not find any information about it. Should I backup existing firmware or I can download it with XperiFirm and flash it? Is there an instruction somewhere to how to return stock ROM after LinageOS or other custom firmware?

3. Can you tell which apps are working incorrect, and what does it look like? Did you try microG or just clean LineageOS?

4. What did you mean? You can not delete SMS or any messengers can not delete their messages?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] UsernameNotRecognized:
You don't need to do anything.

By far the easiest way is to use emma to flash back stock.

Then lock bootloader and let the internal updater do it's thing.

Depending on what emma offers for you to install and what you've selected you will be running an outdated version of android. The older the more updates you need, but this is (at worst) about 10 reboots and it won't make your device unusable or anything.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Poluvagon hopper:
Just flashing stock with Flashtool, downloading OS with XperyFirm. You can find instructions in other themes Sony Xperia, they all +- the same.

3. In my phone incorrect worked app "Bolt" (taxi), he need Google Maps.

4. I not written log error sending messagea, I just flashing back stock :)
[Sony Xperia 1 III] ivlev98:
How i can enable 4k resolution for all apps, system interface etc.?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Andrew Lin:
Hey how about Sony' 360 upmix? Can this be enabled with some way? Thanks!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
Only with supported headphones with the Sony Headphones app for now, I am trying to port it but it's very hard because the entire C2 stack needs to be replaced with the one from stock and if done incorrectly the phone auto factory resets lmao 💀
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Demax55:
I bought this phone 2nd hand and the battery is just not enough for my use... Is there any higher capacity battery that I can buy to replace the current one? Or is there any good battery saver app/module?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steveglowplunk:
I'm afraid battery life is the biggest drawback of this phone. And no there simply aren't any batteries other than the original designs.

Since you're on this thread already, I assume you already have your bootloader unlocked and have installed LOS 20. I can recommend the Kirisakura kernel with its CPU-Frequency Limiting feature enabled. It makes the battery life slightly more acceptable for me and the limited performance isn't that bad if you don't play mobile games.

Besides, disable 120hz refresh rate for bigger battery save, which is a pity since that's like a major feature.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Demax55:
Thank you! Yes, I use LOS 20 and I'm rooted. I'll try out the kernel for sure, I don't play mobile games at all.

Really missing my G100's battery life, but the xperia 1 III is so much better in every other comparison.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
I'm thinking of making the Krispy kernel an AnyKernel flashable kernel (since Kiri REALLY isn't made for custom ROMs)
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Kiri is made for stock....
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steveglowplunk:
But it works so as a user I can't complain
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Andrew Lin:
Yes there is one from taobao. In fact I bought one and didnt replace it yet. Now my phone is bricked so I am not sure if I will ever use it lol. I can pm you if i give up fixing my phone lol
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Andrew Lin:
Hi I believe the upmix feature is meant for all dual channel audio equiment. It makes my b&w earbuds sound better. I hope you succeed because it does make a very noticeable difference at least for me ;)
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
What I meant by supported headphones is that 360 only works with headphones that have 360 Reality Audio support, but yes 360 Upmix works on everything (speakers, 3.5mm and bluetooth)
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Demax55:
I was just about to flash Kiri kernel on LineageOS 20, then I read your message... I REALLY need a better battery. Would you suggest not to use Kiri kernel? Would you suggest any alternative?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
Nah Kiri on custom ROM is pretty bad since the drivers don't match up and stuff so I don't recommend it (plus Kiri is on a old version at this point), I mean you could flash one of my ROMs from me but I want to make a flashable AnyKernel3 zip soon...
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Demax55:
Thanks for the reply. I can't really switch ROMs at the moment as I need this device for work, so I'll wait for a flashable AnyKernel3 :)
[Sony Xperia 1 III] sieghartRM:
I am using 5m Club 3D USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C to Type-C Active Cable, 8K@60Hz, upto 10Gbps, Bi-directional, Male to Male, Black and I get notification about liquid or dirt in USB port and it is automatically disabled.

The thing is it still charges, I did check to see if USB port is dirty and it is not, I tried the cable on other devices and I do not get this message and I can manually still enable this it on this device by clicking on notification.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
Welp, I just published it go and flash it and see how it goes 😁
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Demax55:
That's great, thanks for the message! I have never flashed a custom kernel before, so I have just a few questions:

- I'm currently rooted with Magisk, should I flash the KernelSU variant of the kernel or it's not needed as I have Magisk?

- Using Ex Kernel Manager, should I flash the kernel to both the active and inactive slot or only the active?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
1. Depends on what you want, if you wanna use KSU (it's less detectable btw)

2. You can just flash on the active slot, no need to flash on the inactive one too (but you can, if you'd like to do that)
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Demax55:
Thanks again!

I tried to flash using EX Kernel Manager (not KSU), but flashing fails. It says: "Unsupported device. Aborting..."

My phone is Xperia 1 III, running Lineage 20-20230823-NIGHTLY-pdx215 build number lineage_pdx215-userdebug 13 TQ3A.230805.001 1211527f9e
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
ah i guess i gotta add more device models, please wait a few minutes
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
Alright try redownloading the zip again, i've added support for all the 1 III models
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Demax55:
Thanks, I flashed the kernel using EX, it was flashed successfully and I rebooted the phone, however now I've been stuck for a few minutes on the LineageOS loading screen, so something is not working :unsure: Do you have any suggestions?

It just reboots itself after a few minutes of being stuck in the LineageOS loading animation
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
Maybe it's incompatible with LOS? For my tester on risingOS it booted up just fine, KSU or not. Which variant did you flash?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Demax55:
Non KSU. It just reboots itself after a few minutes of being stuck in the LineageOS loading animation

I'll try to flash the KSU variant using LineageOS recovery
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
That is weird... hmm if it doesn't boot maybe try flashing Kirisakura and if that doesn't work either fully reflash the ROM, and do NOT just flash the boot images as is.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sakuu:
That being said maybe u should've fully uninstalled magisk before flashing the boot image? Just in case?
