PixelExperience Plus for ASUS Nexus 7 2013 [Flo/Deb]
What is this?
Pixel Experience is an AOSP based ROM, with Google apps included and all Pixel goodies (launcher, wallpapers, icons, fonts, bootanimation)
Our mission is to offer the maximum possible stability and security, along with essential features for the proper functioning of the device
Based on Android 9.0 PIE
DON'T FLASH GAPPS, ALREADY INCLUDED IN ROM!​
Installation:
1. Download the ROM and Magisk from the links below.
2. Wipe everything except internal storage.
3. Reboot recovery you will have no OS installed but that's ok i promise your device will boot back into recovery.
4. Flash the ROM and DO NOT flash GApps as it is already included!
5. Flash Latest Magisk to get root access.
6. Reboot and Enjoy!
Known issues:
- You will be required to repartition your device to at least 1.3gb. If you have anything higher or exact than 1.3gb than your fine.
- Navigation bar glitches sometimes.
- Deep Sleep does not work when NFC is enabled so i recommend you disable it when your not using it to get your tablet to go in deep sleep.
- When you boot up the ROM for the first time you may notice that the boot animation will freeze and then your device reboots back to the google logo. This is not a device side issue but a ROM side issue but let the tablet reboot a couple times if necessary & your tablet will eventually boot to the setup wizard and into the ROM. This is normal.
- Use Latest Official TWRP recovery below for Flo which is version 3.3.1.0 and you won't have the install supersu thing when you reboot recovery.
- You tell us!

Thanks dude, I have a LTE version, will you help to release Q for DEB as well? Thanks.

Reserved for future use

one more just in case

Thanks very much for making time to maintain this.
May I ask which blobs are used for this build? If Im reading it correctly, it's the same ones that @followmsi has switched to rather than the previous QC ones?
I'll definitely install this and give feedback but am of the current belief that the previous blobs provided much better performance,(on deb at least), than the ones used in the other most recent build.
Hadn't mentioned it yet as was still trying to pinpoint why it feels less responsive. Not sure if it's GPU or disk IO or even CPU because the numbers all look fine but the device feels noticeably less responsive when playing something taxing like PoGo.
Edit: just saw the blobs link.

I am using followmsi's latest pixel and pie aosp sources which includes fixes for hardware decoding and compass. I don't have any slow downs when i tested the build however i wouldn't know how to even fix it if there were slow downs because i am just building using his sources. There is nothing changed or added besides those sources. You can expect a new build from me every month with new security patches because i am currently the one mantaining pixel experience
Cheers and have a good day

Is Netflix working on this rom?

yes but you have to install the older version of netflix look at other peoples posts on different rom threads because i don't care about netflix and you will find the fix there in those threads and posts

Issues
Latest build (05/02) borked all the sensors (gyroscope, compass, accelerometer). After dirty flashing it over an earlier build they all stopped working.
Had to go back to stock 6.0.1 and it's all ok now. 6.0.1 feels like a rocket by the way. I don't know about your experience with these pie roms, but for me it's been high battery drain (especially when watching youtube) and overall intermittent choppiness.

The only thing that shouldn't be working is compass and I will hopefully fix it in the next build but gyroscope and accelerometer is working for me on my flo with no problems however I can't say this for deb as I don't have that device to test. But I would do a clean flash wipe everything except internal storage and try flashing the ROM again. Also remember to not flash gapps as its already included

Actually I saw the same thing when dirty flashing to the changed blobs build from the other thread.
An additional restart was required to get them working.
Haven't had a chance to try this build, (deb), yet but it's likely the same.

You can fix deep sleep by flashing this zip I provided and I tested it and now my tablet goes into deep sleep. This zip add-on works for all pie ROMs except unlegacy because its already included. Huge thanks to @followmsi for providing the fix
Download here and flash in recovery:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397959956

Tested deb for a few days, ( with the patch linked above), and it's pretty good.
Dirty flashed, wiped cache and dalvik, installed ElementalX kernel and then the deep sleep patch.
My early concerns regarding the changed blobs and performance were unfounded. Everything appears to work and the rom runs smoothly.
Did experience an issue with sensors no longer responding after a couple of days and although easily resolved with a reboot, I rolled back to an earlier PE build to avoid a repeat.
Looking forward to trying any further builds though. Hopefully will have time to troubleshoot, or at least a grab a useful log next time.

Ok no probs will have a look at the update script.

I've given this rom a try, and I am also receiving an error 7 from twrp-3.3.0-0-flo
Code:
BLKDISCARD ioctl failed: Invalid argument
failed to execute command [erase 4,756,4689,298235,326400]
new data receiver is still available after executing all commands.
script aborted: E1001: Failed to update system image.
E1001: Failed to update system image.error: 1001
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
This device must be re-partitioned before installing this rom
Otherwise works just like it was stated on the original post.

which Kernel did you use ? tried both 6 and 7 EX - soft brick

Custom setting
@JT Your Havoc ROM has custom status bar settings, etc., but it seems that this ROM doesn't. Why?

Because havoc is more customizable and feature filled compared to pixel experience. Pixel experience is meant to give you the same experience as if you were to use and buy the google pixel phones its the same ROM basically as what the pixel has. There's nothing I can do about this pixel experience is meant to be more of a stock bare minimal experience rom compared to havoc which is more feature filled and customizable.

Apologies man.
Sometimes I completely forget that not everyone here is up to date with development for our devices.
I should've made clear that kernel build is by @followmsi and found in his online file repository.

To God be the glory, a working AOSP ROM for those on both the 50.1 and the 50.2 firmware, Pie flavored! There may still be a few bugs here and there, please read this entire post before using!
**** This is an UNOFFICIAL ROM. Install at your own risk! ****
WARNING: This build SHOULD work on both the H3213 and H3223, but I could only test on a H3223.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damages to your device.
A huge thanks to the Android Open Source Project and Sony Open Devices Project!​
The Sony Open Devices Project (SODP) is an initiative to build Android for phones while being as vendor binary large object (blob) free as possible. There are still a few vendor blobs used in this project, but the goal is to one day be vendor blob free. I don't know if that will ever fully happen, but it is nice to move in that direction. That said, all of my work is completely available for any who wish to use or modify it. I didn't make AOSP, the device trees, or vendor blobs. I simply used and edited existing material. A huge thanks should go to those who actually created this stuff.
This Unofficial AOSP ROM was built for the H3223 (discovery), but may work on some of the other variants, please try at your own risk. However, if you do try it on another variant, please be sure to let me know in the comments how well it worked.
Downloads:
Rom Download link:
Note: This is designed to work with any firmware version of the XA2 Ultra, because you flash a custom OEM partition. I've tested this on 50.1 and 50.2 firmware phones.
http://www.mediafire.com/folder/dl8dcra6ojog5/Sony Open Device Project
IF there is an ENG build, it is marked "ENG" for testing purposes only. It's your phone, you can install anything you want, but I do not recommend installing the ENG build. Use the "USER" or "USERDEBUG" builds.
There are two versions of the project, a vanilla AOSP without Google Apps, and a vanilla AOSP with Google Apps. I have tested both on my phone. If you want Google Apps, you cannot use the gappless version and then flash gapps, it doesn't work, you must use the gapps version if you want Google's apps.
Installation instructions: (DIFFERENT THAN NORMAL! DONE THROUGH FASTBOOT!)
- Download the zip file for AOSP 9.
- Unzip the zip file, and you will find 5 images.
- If using Windows, put these in your folder you use for fastboot, if using Linux, you can do this from any folder.
- Reboot the phone into bootloader/fastboot mode.
- Flash them to your phone, like so (example for Linux)
Code:
$ fastboot flash boot ./boot.img
$ fastboot flash oem ./oem.img
$ fastboot flash system ./system.img
$ fastboot flash userdata ./userdata.img
$ fastboot flash vendor ./vendor.img
$ fastboot reboot
Your phone will now boot into AOSP Pie!
If you plan to install magisk, then let the rom boot once, then go back to TWRP and flash magisk. I recommend making a backup of at least the boot partition first. Magisk is optional, of course. And you do so at your own risk!
What works:
Code:
So far these things that I have tried work, such as
- Display/touch
- Camera (front and back) for pictures and video!
- Phone calls
- Data 3g/LTE
- Bluetooth
- WiFi
- Sound in system, in calls, over bluetooth devices
- MicroSD card (external SD card).
- GPS
- Fingerprint sensor
- Camera Button launches camera and takes photos
- MTP file transfer
etc....
What doesn't:
Code:
Gappless version:
- FM Radio does not work
- The built in Gallery app cannot play back recorded videos from camera. VLC or other apps work fine though.
- Nothing else that I know of, but let me know if you find something!
Gapps version:
- FM Radio does not work
- The built in Gallery cannot play back recorded videos from camera. VLC or other apps work fine though.
--But the Google Photos app can.
-The built in Google Camera app does not work, however, Open Camera, or other camera apps do.
- Nothing else that I know of, but let me know if you find something!

ROM OS Version: 9.0 Pie
ROM Kernel: Linux 4.9.194
Based On: Android Open Source Project
Created 2019-10-03
Last Updated 2019-10-24
Changelog:
20191024
- Fixed MTP crash issue.
20191023
- Sync'd source and fresh rebuild
- Now have a "Gapps included" variant and a "Gappless" variant.
20191004
- Rebuilt kernel
- Fixed camera turning green or crashing
- Fixed general stability.
20191003
- First build, a bit unstable.
- Camera turns green.
- PTP, MTP cause crashes.
- FM Radio does not work.
Notes:
This ROM is very, very, vanilla. It is straight up AOSP. No frills, no mods, no extras. Just pure source.
I personally don't use Gapps anymore, but I did test that the gapps version boots up and connects. That's about all I test with Gapps, though.
I also don't use social media except XDA, so I don't know how well every app works. But if you have issues and have logs, perhaps I can look at them and see what is wrong.
Can I flash back to firmware 50.x.xxxx after flashing this?
Yes, you can. I flashed this and then flashed back to the 50.2 firmware several times while testing. As always, you assume full responsibility for your device, but it worked for me.
Issues/workarounds:
- Video playback from camera. Any camera videos you record work fine, but the built in player can't play them. I downloaded and used VLC app to play them and they work just fine. You can get VLC or other apps from the play store, or here: https://www.f-droid.org/en/packages/org.videolan.vlc/, or if you are using the Gapps included version, you can use Google Photo.
- If you are using the Gapps included variant, the built in Google Camera app does not work. However, using the playstore, I downloaded a number of camera apps, such as Open Camera, and they all worked. I'll try to look into it if I get time.
The only thing i didnt like about aosp is that you cant add features like gravitybox does. And Unfortunatly I need snapchat cause my woman uses it. lol Breaks the safety Net
Couldn't flash gapps? I'll boot into twrp and flash gapps after booting into aosp and nothing? What am I doing wrong... The is will boot and no gapps appear?

I installed AOSP, let it boot, downloaded 64 bit nano opengapps, fastbooted into TWRP, flashed the gapps via adb sideload, and rebooted. It didn't crash or hang up on me. However, I've noticed that it doesn't install the playstore app. I'm very confused. I tried this several times with pico, nano, micro, and mindthegapps.

Thank you for looking into it? but yeah same I'm very confused as well but I believe I have found something that I'm not at all familiar with. I found this link that has someone that has a similar issue with the responder saying they can use "adb pull" command to flash Google factory images so it might be worth looking into?

Whoo-hoo! Praise God! Good traction on Android 10! After some tinkering with XOSD source, I've got a booting version of Android 10 with the new 4.14 kernel! Certainly not a daily driver by any means yet, but I'll keep tinkering. I'll add a few teaser shots as well. :victory:

Hell yeah man. Thank God we still got one developer on the xa2 ultra threads.
So I've messed with aosp a bit and have found a way to help make things easier. I've installed nanodroid which will give you micro g and it's service and more!
https://nanolx.org/nanolx/nanodroid
I haven't been able to figure it out but it has a setup wizard as well which does give you the option to install the official play store. If any one else can't get that to work then perhaps install osm(gapps) with fdroid and install the "fakegapps" xposed module to get signiture spoofing. Hope this helps?

Great work, and good find!
I am currently building this ROM again with built in gapps ... Hopefully, I can have that and an updated version of aosp that is gappless available tomorrow or the next day (so I can test it a bit). I spoke with a few guys on the SODP telegram channel, and they make aosp with gapps built in, so I thought I'd try that to see if that helps you guys who want to use this ROM with gapps.
Good news!
I was able to build AOSP 9 with Gapps built in, and will be posing that once I get it uploaded. (It will take a long time, because I have slow internet.) I'm testing it out on my phone now, everything seems to work here. I will also be posting an update of the gappless version as well.
Thank you so much! I have been waiting for this but when do you think it will be available?

Good news! It is up and posted. Be sure to fully read Post #1, and Post #2 before proceeding.
I tested both the gapps included, and the non-gapps versions on my phone, both worked. With the Gapps version I was able to connect and download several apps, my emails synced, as did photos, etc....
For this rom, the things that I am actively working on are MTP/PTP computer connections.
Also, Android 10 is still in the works, it's just giving me a few fits at the moment, but I will keep working on it. I don't want to release a "half baked" rom, I would like it to be 95%+ functional before putting it up for you to use. Hopefully, that will not take forever. :fingers-crossed:
Love it I did notice the ctsintegrity was false but I fixed it with a magisk module other than that it's great!? I understand from your last post you are working on Android 10 but any idea on when your roms will be updated to 5.0.2 version?
Great news! Praise God! With some great guidance from @MartinX3, and a post by @oshmoun, I was able to apply a patch to the kernel that fixed MTP communications for transferring files to your PC! I have the builds now, and will upload them. My internet is really slow, so it will take a while....

[UNOFFICIAL][20191230] LineageOS 17.0 for UMIDIGI F1 [Android 10]

Introduction
This is my port of LineageOS 17.0 for the UMIDIGI F1, with things mostly working as they are expected to. This ROM depends on the official vendor image, so please be sure you are on the latest official build before flashing this ROM onto your device. Also, since these MTK devices often come with some strange variants, please be aware that your lineage may vary.
Known Bugs
- VoLTE does not work (and probably won't work on any MTK device with custom ROMs any time soon) due to MTK's proprietary extensions.
- (Fixed since 20191230) Sometimes data connection can be randomly lost during reconnections. This can be fixed by either a reboot or `pkill phone` in a root shell (terminal).
Flashing Instructions
1. You MUST flash my TWRP port available here before trying to install the ROM
2. Reboot into TWRP, wipe data (no format needed), then install the ROM zip
3. Install anything else you would like (Magisk, OpenGAPPs, etc. OpenGAPPS beta for Android 10: https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/files/arm64/beta/)
4. Reboot into system and enjoy.

What do you mean by "This ROM depends on the official vendor image" Do I need to flash the latest firmware from Umidigi, then flash Lineage?

Actually I don't think there is much change in umidigi's firmware so you are probably fine with pretty much any vendor image. I am on the September vendor image which shows as 20190724
While I enjoy your effort for the port it's really rough around the edges. Settings randomly crash, NFC randomly crashes, there's no difference between default dark mode and black dark mode, it lacks accents other than default, after enabling developer settings numbers appear on the left hand side of the status bar, and GAPPS doesn't even have android 10 available yet. Again, thanks for the port, but it's not for me.

Somehow I'm using it without any random crashes... Are you sure you have tested on the latest firmwares from umidigi? And are you sure you have wiped data properly? If those crashes only happen for you and not for me, then without logs it's simply impossible for me to fix anything.
And OpenGAPPS has beta version for Android 10, check it out at https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/files/arm64/beta/
On the accent color thing, please wait until LineageOS 17 ports every feature over. For now having most things working is the primary focus.
Thanks for bringing a new life to an already awesome device! I was thinking on changing device due to lack of support, but now I'm surely sticking around! I have a couple of questions tho:
- Is it possible to add tweaks to this kernel? Like 2DTW, F2FS and maybe some more performance/battery gains? Or maybe upgrade it, like to 4.9?
- What about performance in games and/or more demanding tasks? I noticed this on all the GSI's that I tried, because they weren't optimized for the device, and it got hot easily.
Thanks once again for making this dream a reality! I Will test this along with your recovery when I can! Cheers!

This seems to be built with stock kernel. As there is no kernel source released, the addition to kernel mods is not currently available.

It is not technically impossible, but it would require a LOT of effort to reverse-engineer an entire kernel by piecing together open-source components from other manufacturers, and many of these vendors using MTK SoCs do not have open-source kernel just like Umidigi, though it's technically illegal to do so. I'm definitely not going to do this any time soon.

Now I'm lost ? don't get me wrong, I didn't started yet to develop, but if Umidigi has an "open source" kernel, could it be decompiled somehow from the stock firmware?

Linux being open-source doesn't mean any modification to it is easily reverse-engineerable. There is no such thing as "decompilation", only reverse-engineering, which is exactly what I referred to as "not totally impossible". However, if you hope someone to devote an enormous amount of effort just to "decompile" a kernel, you'd better off just sue the manufacturer for kernel source code (they are legally bound to do so by using the Linux kernel). It's far more plausible.

I tried the exact same steps but ended up in a splash screen loop. Any idea how to fix this (or how to grab a log of this, if needed)?
No service on two of the sim card. Phone shows carrier, but no network.

TWRP keep system read only, no more boot loop.
test on Umidigi F1 Play
I make Kernel Changes to make your rom work on umidigi f1 play and it booted but a lot of issues :
- sim card doesnt recognize in second reboot
- A lot of NFC Force closes
- Sound is deteriorated (i Think it because the besloudness in the stock rom)
- Rom has a lot of features that not working (example percentage of battery is not showed after i enable it)
this just a report of 15 minutes testing roms
It's possible to revert to stock? How?

That would be easiest if you use twrp and make a backup , before flashing this. Same as with any rom, you should make backup first.
If you didn't do that, or the restore fails. Then use sp-flash tool and flash factory firmware.
Umidigi posts the firmware on there community web forum.

You have to put sim cards in before the initial boot. I gave up because too many bugs.

[ROM][10][Q][Flo][UNOFFICIAL] crDroid 6.0 (12/30/2019)

crDroid is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device also attempting to bringing many of the best features existent today. We're mainly based on LineageOS so use custom kernels compatible with them!

}
Always Have a full functional Backup. Just in case if you want to!
First time installing crDroid to your Nexus 7 2013 or coming from another ROM:
** Make sure you're running a proper working Recovery (TWRP)
1) Copy crDroid zip, gapps zip, to your device
2) Boot into Recovery
3) Wipe everything except internal storage.
4) Flash ROM
8) Flash gapps
9) Boot up
For root, AFTER you boot into the ROM, you can go back to recovery and install Magisk v20.1 (whatever is most recent).
Upgrading from earlier version of crDroid:
The only difference between clean flash as above and upgrading is you just wipe system & cache, leaving data. Everything else is the same. ***Remember to always clean flash before reporting problems. Clean flashing is always the best method of ROM install.
KNOWN ISSUES
- NFC has been removed and disabled so it's unusable at the moment.
- Navigation bar glitches sometimes.
- Since it's Android Q you may have problems with certain apps not working properly. You will have to tell the developer of the certain app to update their app to be compatible with Android Q. This is not a problem with the ROM.
- Compass seems to not be working.
- Encryption does not work.
- Several crDroid features may or may not be available yet.
- You will be required to repartition your system to at least 1.3gb.
- You tell us!

Happy flashing and enjoy android 10 Q!
I have a problem installing the GApps with ROM build 20191126 . Coming from LineageOS 16.0 (flo) I wiped everything except of the internal storage.
But I always get "Incopatible Android ROM detected. This GApps pkg is for Android 10.0.x ONLY. Please download the correct version for your ROM: 6.0.1 (SDK 23)"
Is this a problem of the ROM or the GApps package?

Have you messed with the build.prop file or any other system files located in system/system in twrp? I did that accidentally and the only way to get it fixed was to reflash the rom and wipe everything except internal storage then reboot recovery then flash the rom and then reboot recovery again and then flash gapps. Try that and make sure you have the latest version of twrp recovery
Hi all.
Just downloaded crDroid to give a test spin to see how it is.
I'm primarily a gzr, aex guy.
LineageOS and crDroid are my next rom choices.
A note about OpenGapps 10.
It has issues mounting system on some devices.
Installing ROM, rebooting into system and then rebooting back into recovery, works.
Honestly takes too long for me.
A quicker way that normally works is.
- Install ROM.
- Mount (or unmount and remount) system in TWRP.
- Install OpenGapps 10.
- Reboot to system.
- - or install Magisk, kernel, what ever else and then reboot to system.
At first glance, crDroid seems to be working well. :highfive:
Cheers.
Thanks for the suggestion to Mount the system in TWRP. That fixed my issue.

I did not modify anything, just coming from LineageOS 16.0 (by ripee) wiped everything, except the internal storage, and installed your rom using TWRP-3.3.1-1_UA. My current solution is to modify the GApps package install script so the version check is not failing. At the moment everything is running fine.

Thank you @JT1510365 for giving Flo another Android 10 ROM.
Coming from @followmsi aex 7 Aplha.
I see you mentioned 1.5Gb required for system, but I have partitioned with @followmsi 1280_120 script. After reading a post by Clamor about partitions to 1.5Gb required complete format look complex. I skipped the process.
I'm able to clean flash your ROM, with OpenGapps beta Pico (unmount-remount system in TRWP, with @ipdev suggestion).
Run really smoothly so far, but I did encounter 2 problem.
1) video glitch, a fix was given by @ipdev to mod media_codecs.xml (see attached screenshot)
2) when tap battery in settings, it crashed. Return to home screen.
Thanks again!
Update to 2.
After pressed battery in settings, crashed back to home screen. A small window appeared, I select app info and settings info appear. Did the clear cache, no go. Clear cache and storage (Bad idea) and reboot. After the cdroid bootanimation, screen just faded to Black. No lock screen, not able get back into ROM.
Did a complete clean install of ROM only, reboot into ROM. No other things are added, tapping battery in settings still crashed. Is no biggy, does not take away the smoothness of the ROM.
Anyone know how to get weather next to the home screen at a glance?
This is such a fantastic ROM. Thank you so much JT1510365!
No hassle clean install, extremely solid & dependable, and now the daily driver on the FLO.
I do very much wish that it was available for the DEBs.

You have done it!
Wipe everything but internal, install crDroid 10 DEB, install open_gapps-arm-10.0-nano-20190928-BETA, install Magisk 20.03. Wipe caches.
Very fast first boot time. No hiccups.
Quick page to page crD setup.
Set smallest width to 703.
Playstore/Google account login no issues.
Backup+ restore no issues.
Magisk SafetyNet Check: Success. No issues.
Good battery life & charge time, no issues.
Screen rotation no issues.
Camera fine no issues.
Networking & VPN Hotspot no issues.
LTE signal XLNT!
So far, this puppy is solid as a rock. Everything that I use it for works. (Wireguard, VPN Hotspot, Netflix, Plex, MXPlayer Pro HW+, email & web browsing, Juice SSH, AdminHands, etc.) No crashes/FCs/errors so far.
A great many thanks to you for your work, and for breathing new life into these DEB & FLO JT1510365! -Android 10 for DEB is a unique challenge, and very much appreciated.
Magnificent!

About LineageOS4MicroG & LineageOS
LineageOS unofficial fork with built-in microG gapps implementation.
Full Play Services compatibility [Well-almost...YMMV]
Our ROM has built-in microG free-as-in-freedom re-implementation of Google's proprietary Android user space apps and libraries. This enables you to use every Google service you need without keeping another closed-source binary blob in your Android system.
Native F-Droid support
LineageOS for microG comes with F-Droid already installed. You can use it to access plenty of FOSS applications or even a Play Store bridge repository like Playmaker or GPlayWeb.
About LineageOS
LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8 (Oreo), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS 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. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.

Rom Built by Bernie_nix​Why build Oreo Now? What about other variants of the G5?:
Oreo is very stable on the h830 and works great with microg. I'm using this build now. This is also a build I am interested in maintaining and comparing to a future Pie build with microg built-in. Unfortunately, Android 17/Q is not yet fully compatible with microg.
Working:
5ghz WiFi, camera, calling, bluetooth, great battery life. USB-C audio earbuds work great. Reported that NFC works.
You tell me.
Known issues:
Please test WiFi, NFC. IR blaster not working for me but I may need to find a suitable app; please test. FM radio reported not working.
Automatic updates not yet implemented but will be in next build.
You tell me.
Install Instructions (If coming from another rom):
Prerequisites: Coming from another rom with Developer settings enabled, android debugging enabled.
(1) Boot into twrp (or ofox)
(2) Wipe your device. Select Wipe button, Advanced Wipe, Choose: Dalvik/ART Cache, Data, Internal Storage, System. Then Swipe to Wipe all of these (if in twrp. if in ofox, wipe system but do not wipe system 10)
(3) Select Format Data Button. Type yes
(4) Select Install button. Choose rom zip. Swipe to confirm flash.
(5) Install Magisk if you choose.
(5) Press back arrow button 2x to get back to main screen. Select Wipe button. Select format data button. Type yes.
(6) Reboot. Phone may or may not mention "no os installed." Ignore it. Proceed with reboot. Phone will boot twice, then boot into lineageos4microg.
DO NOT install twrp installer/orange fox installer until after phone boots into lineageos4microg or it will not boot. After you have setup lineageos, you can then reboot into twrp and install orange fox or twrp and magisk if you choose. Do not ever install any GAPPS on this ROM. Reinstall of TWP/Ofox should not be required if upgrading (at least on Ofox).
Upgrade Instructions (If coming from my previous build):
Prerequisites: Developer settings enabled, android debugging enabled.
(1) Boot into twrp (or ofox)
(2) Select Install button. Choose rom zip. Swipe to confirm flash.
(3) Wipe caches.
(4) Magisk should persist after reboot but if not, go back into twrp/ofox and flash it.
DO NOT install twrp installer/orange fox installer until after phone boots into lineageos4microg or it will not boot. After you have setup lineageos, you can then reboot into twrp and install orange fox or twrp and magisk if you choose. Do not ever install any GAPPS on this ROM. Reinstall of TWP/Ofox should not be required if upgrading (at least on Ofox).
Tips for Use
1. Root can be enabled in this build (if not installing Magisk) by going to Developer Settings->Manage Root Access->Apps and ADB
2. To turn off battery led when charging, Settings>Apps & notifications>Notifications>Battery Light
3. To set up Microg,
(1) open MicroG app,
(2) press self-check, press battery optimizations ignored and allow,
(3) go back one screen, select unified nlp settings, configure location backends, press the checkbox next to mozilla location service and ok, configure address lookup backends, press checkbox next to nominatum and ok,
(4) then go through Google services from top to bottom and enter your information.
(5) Enable location from pull-down shade. Open maps, get your location. Go back to Microg. Run self-check. All boxes should show a check.
(6) Microg is setup in less than 5 minutes and fully working.
(7) Turn off location from pull-down shade bc they're tracking you ​4. Want a better GPS experience? Install Deja Vu Location Service, GSM Location Service and Radiocells.org Unified Network Location Provider Backend from F-Droid. Works great with Google Maps or OSM.
5. I've found Hypercam to take excellent pics with our cameras. Please download for the G5 here: https://gcambrasil.com.br/lg

I would love to build for the h840, unfortunately it seems harder to build for. Not seeing a whole lot of sources or development on that variant.
Thank you anyway. I'll always have hope.
Thanks, @Bernie_nix this rom is super stable I was wondering how you build LineageOS4Microg the instructions on their website didn't make sense to me. Thanks so much for this rom. Will you make Pie builds?

Yes I will continue forward to make an los 16 microg build. As far building yourself, please read the first post. I will not answer any questions related to building in this current thread after my response below.
I'm going to put together some info on GitHub with required files and some instructions to build on Ubuntu. In a nutshell, you install docker on Ubuntu, install the microg docker container and then supply a manifest file for the docker to download sources, etc.
I don't provide support for building in my threads because it's off-topic and really adds quite a bit of support that is better provided in its own unique thread where many members can help. I would be happy to answer questions in a Q/A thread of its own, on GitHub or in a telegram group.
If anyone is reading this and knows of an active telegram group for the g5 please message me and I'd be happy to provide assistance there. Otherwise wait until I update on GitHub. I have my reasons but do happily share in the spirit of open source. A ROM release thread is not the place to do it.
Amazing rom! Just installed on my h850 and it works great! The suggested GCAM is also very good. I have tested NFC and it does work fine (tested only between 2 phones). The IR however seems to work very strange... I tested with the app irplus which does seem to transmit something the first time you press a button but then it just starts loop blinking the IR led like a notification led on off on off on off about every second until a reboot. You can see this by pointing another camera at it. Also i was just wondering if it's possible for you to somehow add fm radio? It worked great on the stock rom but I noticed that no custom roms seem to have it. It isn't something that would cause me to not use this great rom but it would be nice to have. Also.. I wiped everything in orange fox before installing including system10 before I noticed the warning about keeping that but it works fine so far. Do I need to do something about it or can I just ignore it? What even is system10? First time I've ever seen it on any device.

Thank you for testing NFC, and I am glad to hear that works for you. I had similar results with the IR blaster, and that's one of the features I love about this phone; I will try to see if I can improve the functionality as at least it does turn on but unfortunately can't give an ETA; this will involve looking into some lg and lineage sources if they are available. I will also look into fm radio. As most custom roms are built off of a similar base, that explains why it doesn't work in most. It may not be possible to pull the files and include them in the rom, but I may be able to create a magisk module with some lg files; again can't give an ETA as I don't know what I will find or how long it will take. I will investigate though. As for system 10 in ofox, I haven't been able to find much if any documentation on it. As I didn't erase it on install and it booted, I figured best to be on the safe side

I see. Anyway thank you for looking into the IR issue as I agree that it's a great feature and also the fm radio. I would not have any problems with it being a magisk module if it can't be added to the rom. And yes, the phone runs great with this rom so far. Very responsive and minimal battery drain even with my half dead battery that dies at 50%. It is definitely my new daily driver.
New build released to update to March 2020 security update. See 1st post for download links.

I know that Los usually has lower sound. Haven't experienced the lower mic myself but I could be wrong. You could probably easily edit some mixer_path volumes if it is not to your liking.
Hi, real cool rom. thanx a lot. But: PicoTTS does not work. App shuts down in test. And Hdmi (or Slimport??) on an OTG does not work.
And the LG Camera Plus add-on-piece is not recognized
Is H850_v2.2-mk2000.zip compatible with this rom? or maybe H850_v0.3-BETA2-mk2000.zip?
(after Test) No its not, camera is not working with both kernels and Android says, thats the Vendor Image is not right, when i reboot. What ever that means
P.S. The rest is really stable after 2 days of testing.#
P.P.S. Changing BT Connections from one (Airpods Gen 2) to another (JBL Charge 2) while playing music reboots the phone.

Hi! Just wanna share with you Android 11 ROM builded for Sony Xperia X Compact
Many Thanks for development @Cubbins
I'm not responsible for any damage caused with your device after flashing this ROM. Flash only on your own risk.
This ROM bring us Treble support ( ARM64 A/B ) structure for all GSI images based on 11 Android. Just flash any GSI at System partition after it.
How to Install:
1) Copy ROM to SD card and flash with recovery
2) Download SW_BINARIES_FOR_XPERIA_ANDROID_9.0_2.3.2_V9_LOIRE.ZIP, unzip and copy image to sdcard too
3) Flash Binaries with recovery to OEM/ODM partition
4) reboot
5) After reboot we need to flash/format userdata partition. So, download it and flash with ADB: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img or fastboot erase userdata
6) reboot.
Warning:
We use /cache partition at thid ROM as a /vendor, so if you format /cache partition on recovery - you'll catch a bootloop.
Features:
Working:
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth
- Fingerprint
- Sensors
- Camera
- Calling
- Music Playing
- GPS
Not Working:

So good to see some people still working on this device. I'm considering leaving the official rom to this one as soon as GPS is operational. Thank you very much.

SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_9.0_2.3.2_v9_loire.img
The one vendor binaries for both devices - suzu and kugo
Are the Flame Gapps in your Google Drive the Gapps you recommend, or can we just use OpenGapps as usual? This is my first experience with Android 11.
Edit1: Installation worked like a charm with your description. For me, there was no change after flashing userdata.img. The phone behaved the same way, whether I flashed userdata.img or I did not. What did NOT work was just to delete userdata - then my phone would show an error message after boot and just shut down again.
After every boot, I receive the error message “There’s an internal problem with your device Contact your manufacturer for details”. According to Google, this has something to do with Treble. I will install my apps now and get the tests going. Thank you SO much for this. If you leave your PayPal here somewhere, I will send you some small bucks that I can afford for the good development.

You can flash any Gapps you want, but this gapps was tested with EL ROM and work fine.

It's allways on my profile, on section "about"
Hello. I had no time to perform an install yet but I have a question (maybe stupid ?). I noticed the binaries were for Android 9 but I saw that there was a newer version called SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_10.0.7.1_r1_v7a_loire (no more binaries for android 11). Do you think it could be used with your ROM ? Maybe it would prevent the message that Spaceoid see at every boot ?
Just in case, here is the link to the newest version : https://developer.sony.com/file/download/software-binaries-for-aosp-android-10-0-kernel-4-14-loire/
I just send you two coffees via PayPal for the good work. I know it is not much, sadly I am a student with little income... But I hope it keeps you energized for further improvements to the ROM!
After half a day of testing the pure ROM, without any apps and just Gapps, here is what I found so far:
- Wifi is working, but, at least for me, after like 30 minutes after every boot, it seems to break. After that, I am not able to reconnect to my home wifi network, or to find any Wifi networks in general. Only a reboot fixes this.
- Regarding the error message mentioned in my last post, I found this:
How to Fix Android system There's an internal problem with your device
How to Fix Android system error "There's an internal problem with your device Contact your manufacturer for details" and How to remove NFC Service 'NFC keeps stopping'.
www.recovery-mode.com
I cannot say how reliable/safe this procedure is, though.
- Connected to this, the NFC tile in the pulldown menu (from the status bar) does not work. I can activate NFC via the settings, though; I did not try yet if it really works, but at least it can be activated.
- After every reboot, the phone forgets the time and date until it is connected to cellular network or wifi for the first time.
(- one minor thing - the alarm clock does work well, but it does only sound the alarm and not wake up the screen. So, before disabling the alarm, one has to unlock the screen first.)
Will start installing my apps now and keep on further testing.

I was about to ask the same. Are the 10 binaries not compatible?
@betacrypt
Binaries for 10 are available however the kernel development was abadoned. Kernel 4.14 did not mature into an operational state. Kernel 4.9 is the current stable version, using the 9 binaries are the most recent option at the moment.
@lubik1
This is being trebled? SELinux is permissive? If that's the case, I imagine the cache.img and boot.img can be used to GSI other OS'.

Ah that makes sense. Somehow I thought 4.14 was stable.
Also thanks @lubik1 for your efforts to create this! Glad to see continued support for the XC - was worried we'd lost support for it. I own two and had been hoping to see an update.

Don't forget to thank @Cubbins too for the build.
@lubik1 ,
Can you also provide a GSI variant (of boot.img and cache.img) for those of us who like to use other systems?
Anything different to do when rooting with Magisk? I flashed the latest Magisk in TWRP successfully but when I boot into system the Magisk App says no root.

Strange. I did the same this morning, downloaded latest Magisk version from Github, and it worked for me. I already used root for Titanium Backup. I used v21.2.
On another note, after one day of usage, I'd already consider this ROM quite stable. The wifi problem really is the main problem, as I only can connect to my home wifi in 20% of the day. I already lost all my mobile data because of that, now I am surfing in less than 2G speed on my phone xD
