LineageOS 15.1, ROM for the Sony Xperia L
Contributors
corphish
ROM OS Version: 8.x Oreo
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.4.x
Version Information
Status: Alpha
Created 2018-02-19
Last Updated 2018-06-10

F.A.Q
Q. Why pre-alpha and all?
The reason why this build is pre-alpha, and in other words, simply unusable, is because deep sleep doesn't work, that means the phone cannot be kept idle (it can be if connected to power source). This is a big issue as it renders other (basic) functionalities useless. I wanted to fix this and then release, but have been out of luck. So I decided to release this anyway, just to let people know that work is being done on getting Lineage 15.x work on Xperia L. Even if this fails big time and the project needs to be abandoned, well atleast the people would get to use whatever worked. Ofcourse I am not giving up yet, unless I really really get frustrated. As of this build, flash it if interested, see how oreo looks like, and then flash back the old rom.
Q. What GApps to flash?
I did not use GApps during my testing, but if you want to use, use opengapps (8.0 ARM). Recommended - pico or micro packages. You do need to modify the installer scripts inside opengapps zip, otherwise installation would fail due to version mismatch.

Changelog
20180610 (Alpha 2)
- Fixed mobile data.
- Fixed issue which caused downloads to fail.
- Updated lineage sources.​
20180224 (Alpha 1)
- Fixed deep sleep.
- Fixed proximity sensor.
- Updated lineage sources.​
20180219 (Pre-alpha)
- Initial release.​

Wow,I was excited,until the moment when my phone turned off and on,every 2 minutes,data transmission not working,I count on amendments in future updates.

Thanks dev.

thank you bro. been waiting for this for a long time, many cheers to you

Deep sleep issue was present in every LOS 15 rom, especially lenovo roms, Can it be fixed by replacing libsuspend.so from nougat rom, what's actually the issue

In oreo, earlysuspend got removed from libsuspend, and our kernel uses used earlysuspend. So during initial boot (that is our kernel using earlysuspend, and no earlysuspend in libsuspend), device won't comeback on after I turn off the display, even if it was connected to power source.
An abandoned patch does exist though, which brings back earlysuspend support back to libsuspend. With that patch applied, device did comeback on after display was turned off, and it would function normally as long as power supply was connected to it (just like how it does now), deep sleep still did not work then.
Since the patch was abandoned, and depending on it would not be appropriate, I decided to bring autosleep in kernel, which I eventually did, deep sleep still doesn't work

Great!
Thanks for your hard working and not giving up :good:
It's worth testing, at least we can see how it looks like

wow this is a good news, but i think with more 800MB ram taoshan should use android go

Thank you for your hard works:angel: Corphish :angel:
Hope the bug dies soon :laugh:

Alpha 1
New build is up.
Changelog
Fixed deep sleep.
Fixed proximity sensor, now all the sensors should be working as usual.
Updated lineage-15.1 sources - Switched from staging/lineage-15.1 branch to lineage-15.1 branch. Some immediate changes you will notice are the new icons and the addition of Lineage setup wizard.
Now that this has graduated from pre-alpha, and the device can stay awake in idle, this makes the alpha build way more usable than the pre-alpha build. If you end up using this, and face bugs that are not mentioned in the "not working" list, please let me know by posting about it in this thread. Logs would be welcome, but a proper way of reproducing it would be good too.
P.S - Firefox still doesn't work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Links updated in OP.

1. device not booting properly using restart in power options, doesn't respond to any action until battery removed
2 flashlight not working, and the flashlight toggle interrupts the music playback.
3 downloads fail using jelly browser
and, cheers for your hard work @corphish, Thank you

1. It works fine here, does take a bit of time though. :/
2. Because camera does not work. It will work when camera is fixed.
3. That is because, vold assigns our internal storage name as "7384-14B3" (atleast it looks like that in mine), so storage location for internal storage is "/storage/7384-14B3". Turns out that DownloadManager cannot handle storage locations with such name . Will try to workaround it in the next build.

Now that's awesome and quick. Great work @corpish

I have tried it. It's amazing and fast
But there are some problems
1. Phone restarts when phone get stuck, or when starting camera
2. Music playback stopped when flash light turned on
3. Downloading get unsuccessful in the stock browser
I think other users have already mentioned some of the following problems.( I think the real problem is with the download manager )
4. And there was no gapps for Oreo 8.1.
So I installed a unofficial gapps which was created for 8.1 and the setup keeps closing
I have only noticed these problems yet.
But it's a amazing ROM.
Thanks Corphish

I have the same problems

Split screen is not working.it says not supported in any app even sys app.
And casting is not working as well.just after connecting it closes and search for device again
These are not a major problems
But the camera and flash are little impotent

If camera and flash are important then,
Flash Back !

I wont change my OS just to get camera and flash
Working again.
Even while it's in alpha stage I really like this Rom:laugh:
The app's stay in the same position even after long time
And now I'm using mostly Google go edition app's to keep the device fast as possible

BEFORE INSTALLING THIS ROM, MAKE SURE YOUR DEVICE MODEL IS THE SAME AS TITLE
IF YOU ASK ANY QUESTIONS LIKE "IS THIS FOR MODEL BLABLABLA" THEY WILL BE ALL IGNORGED
CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
We'll not support users and answer questions from users which:
are running a custom kernel
have flashed mods
modified system files
didn't follow our intructions word by word
are unfriendly
And most important: DON'T READ THE OP
What's working:
Wifi (connection, tethering, etc)
Bluetooth (need quick patches in download link)
Camera, video codecs
RIL (Calls, SMS, mobile data)
Storage (both internal and external)
MTP storage (both internal and external)
Offline charging
zRAM (compressed-RAM swap)
GAPPS
Tethering (USB, Wifi, Bluetooth)
GPS
Sound recording
Torch (flashlight)
BUGS/Not working:
Laggy recorded videos. In this case, use MX Player, choose SW codecs when you play these videos, they will become normal
Switching to other fonts will get bootloops after restart. In this case, if you use TWRP recovery, go to File Manager >> delete "themes" from /data/system would help you escape this without factory reset
First time installing CyanogenMod 12.1 to your Galaxy , or coming from another ROM:
Install TWRP Recovery
Reboot into Recovery using 3-button-combo (Vol-up+Home+Power)
Do a Nandroid backup! (Optional and only if you weren't running TouchWiz before)
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition + format /system partition)*
Install the ROM from sdcard using TWRP Recovery
Optionally install the Google Apps ( get it here: https://opengapps.org ) (pico GAPPS recommended)

always says SETUP WIZARD HAS STOPPED

- works stable
- issues with WiFi and Bluetooth. WiFi cannot connect - you have to enter the same password multiple times when connecting for the first time. Then it keeps failing to connect from time to time
- more laggy than stock rom and resurrection remix
- installation is very straightforward
Thanks for sharing this rom. Lots of good work.

CyanogenMod 12.1 for SM-J100H with dual SIMs
Thanks for posting this ROM, gave me a chance to test in on a SM-J100H with dual sims: flashed the ROM, the fix and then gapps. Was thinking not to have gapps but an app was requiring Google Play services.
Setup Wizard stopped several times after reboot, worked around it by restarting the phone. Mobile connection was unstable for both sims and kept dropping, overall performance was slow, especially when in Settings. Not sure if RAM on this phones can be upgraded, mentioning it since free memory was scarce.
As noted by another user WIFI setup had to be repeated for it to stick, good work for keeping it simple thu.

yeah i think ram 512 for now is not good especially with gapps that are constantly updating, i think you should buy a new handphone
Let's go join to Redmi 5A

Totally agreed, it has limitations due to small RAM and older technology. am using my SM-J100H learning about behavior of various custom ROMs. Please bear with me, one observation when using Bluetooth, it said SM-G360H, perhaps not significant. was able to transfer files and use an app that required Bluetooth connection. Just curious if this could cause slow response time. Thanks again.

FAQ & Changelogs / Downloads
Small FAQ:
Q: How can i Unlock the Bootloader?
A: Instructions for Unlocking the Bootloader can be found here
Q: After locking the screen, the screen is all black, and I'm forced to reboot, how can I fix this?
A: If you have this issue, then your device uses an different hardware LCM
( the lgld070wx3_dsi_vdo ), please use the second kernel.zip for this variant, it'll be added an second kernel . zip for people with this variant, on the download section with the ROM releases
how to flash this ?
After flashing the ROM, flash the second kernel afterwards
This kernel containing the LCM for this HW variant will be always WIP, as both my units have the first LCM HW variant ( nt35521_dsi_vdo).
So my testing will be always based on other people logs
Q: Where are the Developer Options?
A: Go to Settings>About Phone, and tap 7 times on the Build Number
Q: How can i root this rom?
A: Rom is already pre-rooted with Lineage's su
--> Enable Developer Options by tapping 7 times on Build Number
then in Developer Options > Check the "root access" option
Q: Can i root with another method ?
A: Sure, you can also use latest SuperSU (v 2.82)
Magisk root, haves some issues with Legacy MediaTek Devices, use/ test at your own risk
Q: I can't flash this Rom on recovery, why?
A: You need to update your recovery in order to flash this Lollipop Builds
Q: How can i flash the new recovery?
A: If you already have an custom recovery installed:
Download the new recovery zip
flash the new recovery
reboot to recovery again
If you don't have any custom recovery installed:
- You can extract the "recovery.img" from the .zip
- Open an terminal
- Boot to fastboot mode, and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then reboot:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Q: I Love your work, how can i thank you?
A: You can press the "Thanks" button, and if you wish, you can pay me a beer

Info and GPL Compliance
Some small intro:
Asus never complied with GPL (despite the efforts of many people, myself included)
Asus always denied to provide the *real kernel source code, instead they provided an generic kernel that is useless, as it doesn't contained ANY driver used by this device
My Kernel, was made from *scratch, and this took some years to achieve the current state, yet, it's not completed nor perfect:
Broken:
- No cameras support ( the image sensors are highly customized by Asus), this is broken at kernel level, let alone on ROM...
- Sensors ( accelerometer & magnetometer are still kinda broken, they are registered, but don't work most of the times)

Good work!

Thanks for your efforts to make this working. Great job!
Still have one lying around here so definetly gonna try this.
If remaining problems with CM12.x are solved will there be like CM14 in the future too?
Thanks.

Funny you asked this
There's some early work already towards los 14
( Nougat)
Let's see

Thanks for work!
Yesterday I install this version on my tablet. Good side: tablet booted But after screen lock, I only can see screen backlight and sounds when I tap to a black screen, reboot helped solve this problem, but after screen lock, this problem repeated. And I can't turn on wifi

Interesting...
As I mentioned previously, this tablet came with two versions of LCM, I own two and both have the same :
"nt35521_dsi_vdo"
I can only assume your have the other LCM variant from LG "lgld070wx3_dsi_vdo"
As you can see here in kernel project configuration:
https://github.com/dragonpt/android...sus/mediatek/config/asus/ProjectConfig.mk#L49
Thanks for your provided feedback, you gave me an clue in how to possibly fix this second LCM variant, I'll look into it.
Meanwhile if you please: before your tablet went into locking, where the colors alright, any noticeable artifacts in the screen?
Thanks

Yep, I see some artifacts on the screen: screen blink and white line on the bottom of the screen
JFYI, I have RUS tablet version

If you have stock rom (or any of my AOSP roms)
you need root, install deviceinfohw app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.andr7e.deviceinfohw&hl=en_US
then on this app go to settings, allow root permissions
reload the app, and it'll show the LCM driver

What are people using for root on this? I've tried flashing Magisk (v20) but it fails in an unsupported image format when extracting the boot image.

Lineage have their own su, you can activate it on developer settings
- you can also flash latest SuperSu 2.82 (tested working)
-Magisk haves some issues with some Mediatek devices (some other mtk devices my team supports haves this issue as well)
If I recall ... only until version 14 or 16 works
( I'll confirm this later)
Cheers

I have graphic artifacts after waking up the device. in addition, tablet charging does not work. after uploading the re-stock ROM loading works

Really Weird charging is not working...
Working fine for me, (16 GB variant WW) also a user with the 16GB variant RU also confirmed this to be working
About after waking up the device I have this sometimes as well, its ESD discharge from the LCM, not something to worry about, the LCM is not perfect, needs some more tuning .
Could you tell me what LCM does your variant uses?
You just need to install an app and check .
Seems to me , there's some more model variants
( with slightly different hardware that I was aware )
Cheers

Installed rom without issue, good instructions :good:
I also get problems waking device, in fact always have to reboot. Main reason to install was to allow netflix downloads however it appears that is a deeper issue than just android version, possibly architecture. But it does allow install of kodi so positive there. Main use is entertainment device in my car during lunch break.
Also have weird keyboard issues, double key entry type android get androoid and random other key presses miles away from where my fat fingers are pressing.
Great work so far otherwise, thanks
Let me know if I can assist dev with any test or info.
Cheers

Finally android 11 for a6000 thank you

Wow, I thought the previous version (17.1) is the last one for this device.
I am really happy I was wrong!
Thank you so much for your work acroreiser and dev_harsh1998. Also thanks to everyone who is credited!

First of all thanks to all the Devs who have kept this device still alive by providing it with those up to date roms...
Well I am using this rom for last 3 days i must say its super smooth apps are opening blazing fast, all major functions are working properly and it can be used as a daily driver for sure...
Now I encounter one bug so far its in Camera Go app the thing is when i change the storage location to SD card and start video recording than it suddenly freezes after some seconds by saying "Something went wrong " than i need to restart the app for using it again, by the way when i change the storage location back to internal than video recording is working fine so its really not bothering me that much....
There is one more thing well its not a bug its just my observation with this rom that during charging its heat up more than expected even when its charging at 90% to 100% slot which i never experience with any other roms.
All in all still its worth a shot everything's working fine, thanks to the devs again...

The problem is in the application itself. in the firmware the application is of the old version and there should be no problems with the video. But it is automatically updated to the latest version in the Playmarket and there is a problem. Remove the app update and it will work as expected.

Hey devs,
Thanks for this brand new ROM! I use this phone as a daily driver and wanted your advice on this version or the 17.1 version. Which one is likely to be maintained in the future? I understand that 17.1 is stable but will it still get more updates or security patches or should I go ahead with this 18.1 version, please?
Thank you for your help and also for keeping this phone alive in 2021.
Cheers,
S

Currently Lineage OS 18.1 is maintained.
Both 17.1 and 18.1 is based on my Go device tree (forked from @dev_harsh1998 lineage-16.0 tree) but lineage-17.1 branch is not maintained since february 2021.
I don't know is @twain55 can maintain 17.1 builds for a long time (better ask him).
Lineage OS 18.1 is pretty stable for daily usage by user reports and my experience with a6010 (I don't have a6000 and primarily maintaining a6010 with merging stable changes to a6000 tree).

Can a dirty flash be done from 17.1 ?

Wow, thank you so much for the android 11 version. It is minimalistic and smooth. Loved the rom. Also thank you devs for keeping this device alive.

Needs Undervolting.
Even the standby drain is around 600ma.
Also I've bought a new battery for this, even that cannot survive more than an hour of SOT.
Please optimised the kernel or just undervolt it a bit.
Also only one of the back speaker is working,

Hi , Dear

Read notes in OP before installing!

Installed the latest build. Thank you. Great work . Everything is working very good. Battery life is extremely good. Got 7-8 hours full HD youtube playback on 4g. Go version is working very smoothly ( previously was using android 5.0 stock )
...
I also have another device 10or.E which has similar SoC SD430. Can you tell me step by step instructions. Kernel source is available. ( I read about building but did not clearly understand various terms like vendor etc... Tried to create initial .mk files for the board but errors at luch command itself )

The year is 2082. Society as we know it has collapsed and the world is but a nuclear wasteland. I haven't seen or talked to another human in weeks. Food is scarce and shelter is hard to come by... But life lingers on, even if just for a while longer, nature tries to heal itself with the little sunlight that manages to reach the ground through the dense clouds of soot. Last night I heard screams coming from the forest of dead pine trees, east of the abandoned glass factory. I'm not sure if they were human screams or the calls of an alternate, but I'm not eager to find out... I must hurry and head north, this place is no longer safe. To add insult to injury, I broke my only weapon while I was trying to cut down a few tree branches to light a fire... until I find materials to fix it, my possessions are my pet dog Alex, an half eaten can of beans and my ME173X running Android 69 with the latest security updates.

I'm waiting for the continuation and publication of this work in the form of a book.

Haha
This made my day
Cheers

This is great! Thank you so much! I never expected so much support for this tablet...
Unfortunately, I really need GPS so I have to wait for another build...

Thank you very much for providing builds for this tablet! The 13 build really helped us a lot, as our 2-year-old could watch downloaded Peppa Pig episodes from Netflix during long vacation drives. Although I did had to download a previous major version of the Netflix APK to get it to work on Android 6.
As this version doesn't have Widevine DRM, Netflix won't work, I guess. The current version of Netflix from the app store needs at least Android 7, so it would be nice if this new build would also support that in the future. Is it possible to flash that somehow, or would you need to compile that during build-time? If so, it that planned, or are there any technical difficulties regarding that?

New Build is up
Build 20220820
Fix Advance reboot Menu (removed: reboot bootloader, isn't used)
ZRAM: Increase disk size to 768MB (recommended for 1GB Ram devices)
ZRAM: Boost performance: Actually enable LZ4 compression ( inline with current kernel)
ART: Update flags (Drop old flags, Drop uneeded dex2oat, force dex2oat not to use swap file ,etc)
Enable Pinner Service: pinning files into memory, boot oat, services dex (Improves system performance)
Removed LOW RAM flag:
- Device tree & kernel has been greatly optimized
- We finnaly have working ZRAM swap since los 13, working great
- There's no need to cripple the device out of useful features like MultiUser
Fix GPS
Fix DRM Widevine : For Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc
Fix Bluetooth (basic functions, pairing, file transfer)
- Bluetooth a2dp (Audio) is still broken (work in progress)
Fix Front Camera: mt9m114_mipi_raw / GC0339_RAW ( photos )
Some optimizations done at frameworks
cheers

Lineage !4 is on-pair with LOS13.
Lineage14 is currently the best if you ask me

First of all: thank you so much for giving us Andoid 7 for this old thing!
I just found out that Adaway won't install from F-Droid:
Error installing AdAway
Parsing apk file failed! Maybe minSdk of apk is lower than current Sdk? Look into logcat for more specific warnings of Android's PackageParser.

My observations of LG kernel up to 20220911
- battery charging VERY slow
- rotation sensor not working
- camera not working
- fast stock, slow with GAPPS
Maybe these are already on the todo list. Great to have A7 on this still usable tablet.
Cheers

hi
rotation sensor not working :
Yeah this is stated on the "not working" status " > Sensors: accelerometer (autorotation)"
I could never fixed this sensor on my kernel
battery charging VERY slow
The device can be very picky with chargers, with the stock charger it can charge up to 1.2 AMP @ 5v
fast stock, slow with GAPPS
Yeah GAPPS really have an huge impact on devices, it runs really smooth without GAPPS installed
Google sucks
camera not working
This is very nice report ( Thanks ) every single user that reported me the front camera isn't working has an device with the LG screen...
I just bought my third ASUS ME173X and got it yesterday ( since my kid broke the second one .. )
unfortunately all my tablets have the same nt35521 Screen ( really hopping to grab an LG variant ) for testing :/
cheers

How can I find out, what screen our tablet has?

Plz help! I can't root this rom, can you give a manual or something? I've tryed everything

sus ඞ
This is with the tablet plugged into the wall 24/7, sometimes it gets tired and stops charging
Don't mind the second pic, that's just it being used as a wireless monitor

You need to be running any of stock firmware with root rights.
There's many apps that facilitate the task like "deviceinfohw" , give the app root on settings, and on the main page it'll show you what LCM you device has.
