Safe and deegoogled rom - Sony Xperia 5 Questions & Answers

Im looking for most safe and degoogled rom for Xperia 5 mk1. Can You recommend something? And why? I want see why You want to install something that is not recommend.

LineageOS is a great option, once Miustone's AOSP is complete I think he might work on LineageOS 19 for the Xperia 5, at the moment we have an unofficial version of LineageOS 18.1 by Sjlls but it is quite out of date with security patches. I am excited for a pure AOSP with working cameras though once Sony have fixed their SODP AOSP... Hopefully we get LineageOS aswell but it'll take time so we have to be very patient.
At the moment I recommend rooting on the stock ROM, or a rom of your choice, installing AFWall+ (firewall) and blocking everything except from apps you use.

Question: CM 13 to CM 14.1 to Linage OS 14.1 (Samsung S5, klte)

Hello,
I like to upgrade my Samsung S5 (klte) from CM 13 to CM 14.1, so I can eventually upgrade to Lineage OS 14.1 using the available experimental image without losing my current settings & data (there is no experimental image for Lineage 13 I am afraid).
Unfortunately, I cannot find the CM 14.1 image for obvious reasons as the servers shut down and would like to know if anyone knows a secure & trustworthy source. I would hate to reset my phone and spend hours and hours setting it up again.
Tough question, I know. Thank you anyway.

Since I was not able to find a CM 14.1 image I decided to go for a fresh install. It was painful, but I guess the only thing I could do under the circumstances.

Paranoid Android for Umidigi

Hi guys,
Looking at how Umidigi is growing rapidly and with each new phone release, boundaries are bound to be pushed. The slew of smartphones released under Umidigi are all very promising. Therefore, I would like to see more custom ROM being made for it. Personally, I've been considering doing a Paranoid Android port for Umidigi phone. At this stage, it's just an idea because there are several factors that will affect the outcome.
1. If I am to start building custom ROMs for Umidigi phone (which model), obviously I'd have to get one
2. Which custom ROM the community would like to have the most
hello and welcome to this tread, i think z/zpro it's a good idea to port ,only camera lib are differents. i prefer lineageos personally.
Hi, Personally I would prefer AICP if possible.
For me it would be nice RR
AICP
LineageOS
ResurrectionRemix
===
Depending on your taste.
I just want different roms I'm really bored of the standard one, I would love to get LineageOS
Paranoid Android or LineageOs
Hi thanks, I would like AICP.

doesnt matter, everything is better than the stock rom crap.
Hey all, based on the current feedback seems like the favourite bunch includes:-
1. LineageOS
2. AICP
3. RR
4. Paranoid Android
But its still early days. Keep the vote coming! Meanwhile, I'll try to get myself the device so I can work on it.
I have already tried some ROMs with my other devices and LineageOS is for me the best choice.
ResurrectionRemix is the second choice for me.
I'm happy with anything that moves this phone forward ?
Rooted a must option
Thanks for all the feedback and looks like Lineage OS is the hot favourite. Don't just stop here. Keep your opinion coming and don't forget to vote.
P/S: good news coming soon
Any other ROM would be better than official crap. But I've a question: until now there is no other ROM for this device because Mediatek hasn't released source code for X27 so, how are you going to solve this?
Hi guys, I've created the first build of Lineage OS 14.1 for Umidigi Z. It can be found in my other thread @ https://forum.xda-developers.com/umi-z/development/unofficial-lineageos-14-1-umidigi-z-t3639453
Be warned that this build is not tested because I do not have the device and it is created based on the best of my knowledge. I'm well aware that there will be plenty of bugs and issues. Feel free to reply to that thread.
Looks like he had the Z not the Z pro in mind Stock rom is so limited it's untrue

The problem in releasing source code is umi.. Since other brands with same hardware get sources... Like elephone, vernee... Good example is umi super and elephone p9000 use almost same hardware helio p10 mediatek umi no source code but elephone 18 months ago allready?
Resurrection Remix for its possibilities of personalization
Is there anything new?
I have the impression that there is no really working Custom ROM for the Z Pro.

Sorry, there is nothing working at the moment. Also, take note that my effort of porting a custom rom is for UMi Z and not UMi Z Pro at the moment. But I guess the two devices are not too dissimilar though.

Release LOS 15.1?

hello,
LOS 15.1 is released, is there any information, when the One will get the version official?
thanks
If you mean CyanoGenOS 15.1, released by CyanogenInc, the answer is pretty clear: NEVER. COS is updated to Android 6.0.1, that's it. CyanogenInc doesn't work on OS anymore, Oneplus is never going to release an Oxygen OS build for OPO, so if you want install LOS or others custom ROM, but do not expect anything official at all.

Hi,
i mean lineageos , the offical 15.1 was released at 26 february.
At the moment the lattest official build is 14.1 but for the oneplus 3 and 5 lineage released an official 15.1.
I know that lineage is no "official" release.
My question is when will there an official release for the one?
I want no custom build.
Thanks
So you better check the title of the thread you started, becouse you wrote COS! Anyway, we have to still wait for an official release of LOS and any custom ROM based on it, as there are few problems with camera (not working) and other things not working, so they plan to solve them first and then release. The other roms using Android 8.1 use Sultan Blobs or other to make camera works etc, but it is not the same. You just have to wait.
Feel free to testdrive my LOS build from the official sources at https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-unofficial-t3758211

Best ROM for Galaxy TAB 2

Hello, I want to send my phone for warranty service, Galaxy TAB p3100 will replace for week my phone. I've read about ROMs for this tablet, but I still don't know which should I choose. I want to use FB messenger, snapchat and chrome on it, I know that it's old device but i want the most smoothest ROM. Would you recommend me one?
im also looking for an answer for this... doesnt have to be the best, but just be the less lag/stable custom rom.. can anyone give recommendations/opinions/feedbacks for custom roms based on Marshmallow? except AOSP...
nougat roms as ive read and i've tried some, are still unstable/laggy.. so thats a no no for me..
my current options are installing custom roms based on Marshmallow with pico gapps / with microg?
im aware that without installing gapps, i'll get better and stable rom experience... ive tried it but I couldn't bear the lack of gapps and the unsatisfying alternative apps..
LineageOS... I have their last nightly on mine and it runs fine for a dual core 1GHz tablet.

are u using the Official LineageOS 13 Marshmallow? official lineageos for our device seems to have been removed in lineageos website download.. discontinued?
edit: i'll try other roms with oms/substratum support like Resurrection Remix OS or OmniROM since i bought some substratum themes, dont want to waste it.. lineageos only has legacy mode for substratum.

Yes, and yes it has been discontinued... But you can build the lineage nightlies yourself like I do as long as you have the blobs.

I knew I had Android-Andi's links somewhere, I also recall being able to use the way back to get LineageOS room files also. But they may have removed them entirely at this point.

Is there an Android 9/10 rom with enforced SELinux mode?

Hi everyone,
i'm looking for a modern custom rom with Android 9 or 10 which would run in enforced SELinux mode.
So far i used the last supported LineageOS, but it's quite dated now. The last update is from 2018.
I need it to run some banking apps.
I tried the unofficial LineageOS rom and the PixelExperience one and had no luck with both. So
before i try every custom rom in existence, i would like to know if there any rom out there which
would support it?
Thanks in advance!
