[ROM][11]LineageOS 18/18.1 Z4Tablet[SGP712/771] - Xperia Z4 Tablet Android Development

There is Android 11 ROM for Xperia Tablet Z4.
It's quite stable.
Kernel sources
What doesn't work:
- when the tablet is off, during charging, the diode will always light red;
- external SD Card as internal storage;
- restart into recovery;
- tablet encryption;
- SELinux proper configuration for a proper security.
How to install:
1) use TWRP 3.5.0.
2) do factory reset (wipe)
3) Flash the firmware, nik,bit or flamegapps , magisk 21 and that’s it.
Change log:
20201206- initial build.
Last builds (mirror) are here.

We must be infinite grateful to sabar_op for his hard work in development of this rom and Bernie and Tarkzim who help to update kernel for kitakami devices. :good:.

I found that I cant install vanced YouTube with lucky patcher or SAI, with vanced manager it's OK. But root version says google services is not supported on this device. I checked with both bit and nik gapps, but no luck. Anyway to use root version with los 18?

Update new rom dated on 11 Dec 2020 :
- camera now works
- fix some sepolicy denials.

I found that "reboot to recovery" doesn't work. Only Power + -val is only way to get the recovery.

Thanks for the R version for our device.
I found an issue on play store. I can't download some games (like Walking Dead Road to survival for example). When install begin it stop and an error appears.

Thanks for the report. Not sure why like that, perhaps due to LOS18 is still beta?

The same thing with war robots.

Battery consumption on karen-windy is huge as always on this. The android system itself lost 46% in 12 hours idle.

True. Battery drains to 0% when leaving the device switched off or on! Red LED stays on even when device switched off..
Any fix available or updated builds?
else need to revert back to stock...

Sabar made Los18.1 build which should reduce battery consumtion. But it also brings new bugs, no exfat for sdcard, half of screen is disabled after wakeup in many cases. I hope it'll be fixed soon.

Half black screen bug is fixed with 20200103 rom. You may need also to reformat sdcard as external storage.

How's the battery consumption?

I remember los15 and 17 had serious problem with battery consumption so it was hard to use, now it's better. I use now aicp 16 but I was using stock marshmallow 32.2.A.5.11 several days ago. The stock is amazing, fast, no kernel panics, bugs at all. But I had a battery life there only for one day even with stock, as I have it with custom los14. So los14 maybe is more battery consuming a little bit. But don't except that android 11 is less buggy and battery consuming than los14.
As far as I tested android 11 it's more or less OK, even for now it can be used for daily usage. But it will likely to be a bit worse than los14 according to battery life. I think you can backup the stock with twrp 3.4.0 and try android 11. If it's not OK for you, you can easily restore the stock by twrp.

Do you use this marshmallow firmware with AICP 16 and LOS 18 ? If no, which one ?
And what about kernel panics, reboots and some games impossible to install on play store on your side on LOS 18 ?

I haven't used stock for years, but some days I've gone back to it just to see and find out what about root here. The last nougat there has no way to get the root, so I've downgraded to marchmallow. I also uploaded some stock ftp to my cloud.
Now I used aicp. Kernel panic are possible here but over two days I havent faced a one.
And yes, big games like war robots and call of duty are impossible to install with all nik, bit and flame gapps. There is some storage permission problem even though that I gave the neccesary ones. But you can find the games on 4pda.ru download and install them. The other bug is that vanced root YouTube doesn't work with all three gapps too. Maybe the reason of two problems there is still no opengapps for android 11.

I found some info about YouTube bug https://github.com/YTVanced/Vanced/issues/201

There is the error when downloading war robots.
01-07 18:15:19.260 E/Finsky:download_service(10456): java.io.IOException: Can't create file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/com.android.vending/com.pixonic.wwr/temp.main.106419.com.pixonic.wwr.obb
So I decided to check storage/emulated/0. I tried ES file manager and root explorer. And find that emulated folder is empty. But it should be not. Maybe be its a clue.

Help, 7.1.1 is painful

Hi all, I have a Z5C E8305, it just updated to 7.1.1 latest release xx.160.
Since then my battery lasts much less, everything is leggy, even whatsapp or camera, and for instance, switching out from chrome and going back again, lost the current page and caused a reload (before it didn't, for example for form completing).
I tried Sony companion for a repair, and it is actually much less leggy, but still slow, higher ram usage, battery drains and chrome cache resets and is slow on window switching (actually any window reloads when switching now) and slow icon loading when hiding all windows.
I read a lot through rooting but it is way too painful (unlocking bootloader, rooting, wrtp or clocked flash boot plus flash new room, too much for me and it didn't really work smoothly when I tried)
What is the next thing I can do? I wouldn't mind using either LineageOS if it is easy to install otherwise I'll be gold with 7.0 again
Thanks,
Jv

LineageOS is definitely better right now for most things than the official 7.1.1. I actually just switched from LineageOS 7.1.1 to stock 7.1.1, hated it, and actually downgraded to stock 6.0.1 with Xposed. I feel like that gives me the most control, but I might switch back to LineageOS depending on if they start doing nightlies or anything interesting like that.

I'd love to try it, but unlocking bootloader plus installing a new one (clockwork or the other one), plus the mix up between my non-standard edition E8305 and most current release not being any guides up-to date. Its daunting for a newcomer like me.
I saw on Sony's website forums that a factory reset helped with battery and memory usage. I am going to try that when I have a few days off as the lag is annoying me. But I also have audio stutters when listening to music and audio books now.

Clean install is your best bet in fixing most issues
Factory reset helped at first but after a week of using it it became slow again
No matter what I did, full wipe in FlashTool included, 7.1.1 never had any free ram and I could only background one, maybe two apps. Everything was slower than I've ever seen in a stock rom in any device I've owned!
Currently I've reverted to 6.0.1 and it provides a pleasing combination of speed, battery life, and tweakability with xposed.
Yesterday I took a gander at patching the one xposed feature I actually need into 7.0, but I gave up after a few hours. Maybe I'll try another weekend sometime, but writing/debugging smali is painful! I think I'll just stay on 6 for now and hope xposed makes it to 7 someday!

1. Just backup everything you need (backing up whole apps isnt recommended though when you switch android versions).
2. Download and install Flashtool.
3. Open XperiFirm from inside Flashtool, select and download the firmware you need. It will bundle it automatically in a flashable ftf file.
4. Once you are sure you backed up everything, flash away.
Wipe everything. If you have TWRP and dont want to lose it, dont wipe FOTAKernel.
Good luck :fingers-crossed:

I did this; copied from the sony forums:
"Android 7.1.1 is not the culprit, but the recently updated Movie Creator app!
1: Disable MOVIE CREATOR
2: Reboot in SAFE MODE
(while phone is on, press Power button, hold Reboot option for 1 second)
3: Reboot again to normal mode
4: Enjoy 2 days of standby time"
My phone seems much better now.
I also disabled the Sony music app as I was having audio troubles, but not sure if it was necessary.

You guys think the guilty was the movie creator? My phone was barely usable. Full ram usage, battery drain and everything was laggy and hanging
what was firmware just prior to 32.4.A.0.160 (7.1.1) ???
Hello could you kind folks please guide me what was official (not rooted) Sony Z5C firmware prior to the above monster? I want to go back but don't know which one it was? Please link me to official version just before this latest ( 32.4.A.0.160 (7.1.1)) NASTY update! Many Thanks.

Yes, surprisingly.
I went from ~15MB of free memory (and the associated problems complained about: laggy transitions, program openings, home page icons, etc). back to ~250-300MB free and typical performance.
Actually usable performance is a little better given they have one of the cortex A57's more aggressively clocked.
I'd try. You can always restore if you desperately want Movie Creator and see no benefit.

What about the issue with browser page reloading every time you switch to a different app and then back again to the browser? OP reported this issue, and I've been having it, too. Did that get resolved for you with the disabled Movie Creator crap?

Google "Flashtool" - it's literally the first result there. Also, Flashtool has XperiFirm, which can download almost all firmwares for Xperias and pack them into ftf format automatically.

yet another 'Best ROM' thread...

Hey guys,
Newbie here. I am very excited about my new yet to be received phone - X829 using EUI 5.8.016S (Stable).
I care about call quality, camera quality, sound quality using the CDLA technology headphones (in this order).
I don't consider myself a heavy user - I talk maybe 30 mins per day maximum, light web browsing, no gaming...
Should I stick to the stock rom supplied EUI 5.8.016S or is it worth upgrading to something else? Like, will a custom ROM yield better call quality, camera quality and sound quality than the stock rom?
Thanks!
Andrei
Hi, i am also a X829 user and i would suggest you to try recently released EUI 6.0.030s, which has great battery life and network receiving, of course quite stable.Camera quality is also good.
This one is the same rom modified by CrisBallGreece that includes system adblocker by default and preinstalled magisk manager, removed unnecessary leeco apps and chinese garbage apps.
Here is the link:https://drive.google.com/file/d/17dVqqd_kRZol6ORhvs_Ubri7xNldRLvw/view
Google apps : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bcmKY1yaoVAnLViL0aSabAdpjK6jpn9x/view
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. How do I get the 'cleaned-up' version installed? Not familiar with either super su or magisk. What is the easiest way to go about doing this? The threads I found make reference to super su but can't download it from the official website. Sorry if this was already addressed in a different thread...
Thanks a lot!
Follow this link :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/how-to/protocol-backup-stock-rom-flash-stock-t3517151
First of all, you should unlock your bootloader and flash twrp (a custom recovery mode, allows you flash rom).
Download rom and gapps then put them to your device, backup your data.Reboot to recovery mode.Press wipe - wipe data, go back and press install - find the rom you copied and flash it.Once the phone booted, go back to recovery and flash gapps in the same way then reboot.That's it.
This is the only way to flash any type of rom.
Btw, magisk is a root manager like the supersu, gives you root access of the system.
Hi,
Thanks for the very informative post. I got my phone yesterday and started to play with it As expected, I had some hard time installing the EUI 6 CBG version. I think it's because I installed a very recent (if not the most recent) version of TWRP...From memory, the one I installed is 3.2.2...Anyhow, EUI seemed to install fine and I got the success message displayed in TWRP along with the note 'phone will reboot in 5 seconds' or something like that - which never happened.
I then installed Lineage OS 15 Oreo because I didn't know how to downgrade TWRP.
So do you think that the problem I had was because of the TWRP version I used? how does one downgrade that?
Also, I installed the Gapps (https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...x-lineageos-15-1-oreo-leeco-le-max-2-t3771577) but Google services gives an error message...'Google stopped working'. Is there a workaround for that?
Thanks!
Andrei
Hi mate,
Right after that " phone will reboot ..." note, you should have rebooted the device by pressing and holding the power button for 8-9 secs and it would be fine.
No, latest twrp version works fine and is compatible with this firmware.
Hmm, you can try to delete the app data of google play services.Have you flashed the los 15 with full wipe ?
Btw los 15 is not mature enough.It still has some battery consumption problems and the battery life lasts not as long as EUI's. + I don't know if it has CDLA sound mod but it doesn't contain dolby digital sound.
Hi,
I believe I did a full wipe (dalvik, cache, system, data).
I will try again to flash EUI 6 by CBG tonight.
The workaround for gapps was to flash them at the same time with LOS 15. Previously I flashed LOS 15, rebooted into the system, went back to recovery twrp and then flashed the gapps.
Thanks!
Yeah, flashing the gapps with rom in a row is not a workaround, its a must-to-do.Unfortunately i forgot to mention this to you.Apologises..
Great, thanks a lot! it worked. I'm getting used to it right now. Will play with this ROM for a couple of weeks and then try something else...I was thinking SLIM7...any thoughts on it? have you tried it? any red flags?
Thanks!
I am also thinking to move that rom, but later.Well its the final version so no bugs.But i don't know if it supports cdla sound mod, do you know ?

Not sure if it supports CDLA...I tried this rom briefly the other day and I had a hard time with the camera...battery seemed to deplete quite fast, but I'm sure it can improved with different settings, greenify, etc...try it and let me know if you like it.
Which other roms have you tried?
Thanks!
Most non-eui roms will have slightly worse battery life making greenify an absolute must.
But if you want a non-eui rom (like me, I just hate eui) I recommend lineage 15.1 or du12 by infrag(my current rom).
Hi man, after a long time, I had a change to try different rom, named mokee 7.1.2 (nougat).Well, it's not bad, performance is excellent, not a single lag at all. Also the battery backup is good, not perfect as EUI but acceptable.
Pros of this rom are, it's being updated in a nightly period and Android security patch is dated as august 5 2018 !
You may check it out if you are interested..
Regards.
I am also on DU12 thinking to try 1 of Android P roms, is it time or to wait ?

Oukitel K9 Custom ROM? Lineage OS?

Are their any projects related to the Oukitel K9 phone? I purchased one and use it on the AT&T network here in the USA.
The phone is decent but the built in Android is very generic and buggy.
I would love to unlock the potential of this phone with a custom ROM.
Let me know if this isn't the right place to ask and point me in the right direction!
Lannie
No custom roms at this time, why bother when you can custom Android 9 using Magisk , Xposed and Substratum. Although having a Lineage 17 would be nice.
I ask because the Android on this phone is so buggy and lacking features. I don't see how the options you gave will add features I need. They might as I'm new to these apps and don't know much about them.

If you private message me I cannot get to the messages here. If I click on messages it takes me to the register or reset password every time. I have no way to read them.
At this point it's useless to try since the mediatek drivers no longer work on Windows 10. Not a single guide on installing on Windows 10 64 bit work anymore. If anyone knows how to get the Oukitel drivers to work, let me know. No amount of driver sign or advanced boot works. Every time I plug in the phone it says the previous device malfunctioned.
It worked once and I have never connected the phone since. Will not work.

This might seem obvious, but could never get my PC (Windows10 64bit) to even recognize my Oukitel K9 until I (out of desperation, and to try to prove a point to someone) reinstalled Minimal ADB & Fastboot 1.4.3 from here:
https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool
It's the same thing I had previously installed, and I didn't expect it to suddenly/miraculously start working, but it did.
I'll pm you.

Thanks, but I sold this phone and went to a Pixel 4 XL. I needed something reliable and InTune refused to work on the old Oukitel.
Has anyone worked out ramdisk partition for Magisk?
Discovery,
Thanks to Phh has developed the perfect ROM for the Oukitel K9. Strangely I have had to try many ROMs to find the perfect one. The Lineage ROM; I had GPS issues, the Recent app button not working, and signal loss. Wanted the latest OS and this one is the winner below.

Llevo un par de semanas probando la rom y no funciona el detector de huellas,se puede mejorar?hay alguna rom(Android 12) mas estable y que todo funcione?,gracias
MOD Edit: I've been testing the rom for a couple of weeks and the fingerprint sensor doesn't work, can it be improved? Is there a more stable rom (Android 12) that makes everything work? Thanks
Try the updated version https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v402
Should resolve the fingerprint issue. I have also tried the AOSP 12.1 v410 and the result is the phone goes into a boot loop. Not sure why when the previous version installs so easily. I have built a custom TWRP 3.6.1 and will be trying it soon. The reason why we need to update; that the TWRP 3.3.1 version is limited and could be the reason why there are install issues with some GSIs out there. The encryption keeps reactivating even if I use scripts, flash no verify-verity. Hopefully, this will work. I'm enjoying the new version too much to start again I will keep you posted.
This one is supreme V411 and distracts me away from my Note 20 Ultra. https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v411 .Works well with the Oukitel K9, recommend to use swapram module for boosting memory 4gb to 8gb. Searching for a working TWRP 3.6.

Have you found better rom for k9? I've used several gsi images but system is very laggy. Yet to find a good fast custom rom for k9.

I've flashed this one and found it is as laggy as CrDroid. I thought it might be due to not wiping data before flashing. Decided to reboot to recovery to wipe data. And.. phone stuck at twrp logo. No go further. Do you have any better TWRP than mine 3.3.1?
Try using the "Yet another Kernel Tweaker" module in Magisk. Through all my searches I could only find the TWRP 3.3.1. Tried building using kitchen but failed. Sometimes the TWRP will take up to 5 to 10 minutes, remember it is trying to decrypt. If it takes longer then SPflash, assuming done correctly with vbmeta. After the initial install the updates and synchronization starts processing. This causes a slow-down. I thought the same. Leave the device for a day to update and synchronize then should be faster.

TWRP logo is for hours here.
Now I can't even enter fastboot after I've chosen reboot to recovery from cherishos power menu.
I hit volup+pwr and boot menu doesn't even show up. Tried 20+ times already.
I'm stuck. The last hope is to wait for it to discharge on twrp logo and try my luck with fastboot menu again.
Otherwise I have no idea. Now I question myself why on Earth I would even try to better something that works at least average ))))

I've managed to revive it. But still on cherishos and few other A13 roms screen is flickering. Have you got something like that?

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] [SM-T290] LineageOS 18.0 [BETA][21.02.2022]

Build in the works. Going to release the BETA as soon as I can do testing on my own device before release.
IMO this is a necessity as there are literally no good roms for this right now. I tried the port of the Nexus stock CR rom and it was not great. Playstore was unusable due to an issue were the app thinks the system is out of storage space, even though it is almost empty. Chrome crashes instantly, the search on the page home screen flickers up/down without control.
I am a far bigger fan of LineageOS thus why I am working on this build.
More to come.

As a follow up to my original post I wanted to mention that for anyone who wants a new ROM on their SM-T290 until this is finished development, use the Nexus Rom by Magendanz. I was able to do a fresh stock firmware install and retry the rom and my opinion has changed. I have noticed that these Tab A 8.0 tablets have been used a lot for like Uber/Door Dash and other POS terminals. I am pretty sure a lot of them have modified or customized firmware for these reasons and when I mine second hand it was from a pizza store. I think that messed up the upgrade.
Overall Magendanz did a great job, when you install it properly. I have zero issues with functionality now, TWRP recovery set up, as well as Magisk installed and everything is running extremely well.
As far as instruction on how to install. Take a look at some of the comments further down on the Nexus thread. That is what I did this time around and it worked perfectly. Last thing I did was copy Magisk.Apk to my SD, change extension from .APK to .ZIP, then boot into TWRP and install that ZIP.
Going to update progression on a monthly basis as far as the LineageOS 18.0 build

Do you have a github with your source code and manifest? I just got this tablet (used) yesterday and I would like to see if I can help. I have built LineageOS roms for a number of older Samsung Tab A devices, but will have to do some research on the "new to me" T290. Thanks.
Just got this tablet, how's the beta coming along? And what can I do to help?
Thank you my guy I had lost all hope for custom roms on this tablet. It's quite relieving to know that I'm not alone.
Also, has anyone experienced severe lag on one ui 3 while doing basic tasks? The thing literally gets 5 fps while watching youtube and surfing the web but it plays 3d games at 20 fps on low settings. wtf

Hey Guys,
I didnt end up building a custom rom, because I was able to get the GSI version of Lineage 19 working fairly easily. Just use the correct image and flash the same as the Nexus post. Android 12 with Lineage 19 so i felt it wasnt worth it as everything works. I had trouble at first with a boot loop but that was because I had installed Magisk BEFORE the GSI rom and not AFTER. So dont make my mistake.
As per the Nexus Post;
Unlock Bootloader
flash TWRP
Wipe data
Install Andy Yan's Lineage OS 19 GSI
Andy Yan's personal builds // GSI - Browse /lineage-19.x at SourceForge.net
sourceforge.net
Install Magisk
Reboot
Cheers!

Good advice But which of Andy's GSIs did you use exactly ?
Thanks so much dude
The GSI is a .img.xz will it work or does it need to be .gsi

You download the .img.xz file and unzip it.
Inside this will be the .img file
This is what you need to flash (.img)

Use this one
lineage-19.0-20220211-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bgS.img.xz
It has Gapps built in as well as super user through SSH, dont install Magisk as it will error that there is already SU tool installed.
@SniperFox22 , did you make a github for the code or didn't even start since you are happy with GSI?

My OS didn't have an option to unzip it at first glance. I haven't been able to install gapps so I'm gonna try that gsi. Also, am I supposed to wipe internal storage before flashing or not?
I got it working but games just crash which is worse than before
Came across this while trying to root my sm-t290. Just want to add that Andy Yan has upgraded to a 19.1 version that appears to work just fine. Flashed to system partition using twrp after I had flashed the Nexus rom. Wifi works, sound works, sd card, bluetooth keyboard works just fine.

Link to it???
I like the link above because it has all the versions but lineage-19.1-20220320-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgS.img.xz is the one that I used. The page has the naming convention. Ill mention that even though it says that it's supposed to be rooted, I couldn't get it to work right. The nexus rom had an option in the 'phh treble' menu to activate root and this lineage image should also but the option wasn't there. It kept saying the supersu binary was busy but that was after I flashed a supersu.zip(it may have worked before then i don't know). I played with it a little bit but ended up just flashing back to the Nexus rom.
Hey guys!
Installed "lineage-19.1-20220320-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgS.img"
Everything starts up, but something is weird with my installation and my storage, it freezes when i go into storage and i cant download anything without apps start to crash.
Im not sure if i flashed it correctly, i did a wipe in TWRP before installation.
Really hope i can get this to work since it waaaaay faster then the bloat samsung ships
Edit:
Tried flashing another rom (nexus) and had the same issue!
trying to reflash and wipe everything except internal storage.
Where should i flash image? i get: "select partition to flash image", never seen that before (might be because you flash img and not zip)

PixelBoot's ROMS - Anger

I have been looking for most stable ROM that exist for anger aka Huawei Nexus 6p. I found on PixelBuild page storage where Pixelboot has placed (correct me if I am worng) all the Android versions for this device.
PixelBuilds - Browse /angler at SourceForge.net
Latest Android builds from PixelBoot.
sourceforge.net
I have noticed that we even get ver 12 of Android .. which is very tempting... So far I have been using PE 10 Plus , but I am facing issues with Camera and all Streaming apps (Netflix, Disney+, etc .. only F1TV works fine). This version I have been using now almost for a year and Nexus6p really goes well with it, again thnaks to Pixelboot, but issues with camera and apps have push me to look for another ROM.
Now, which in your opion is really worth to try? PE, Lineage, others ?
Thank you in advance !
btw: I have installed Lineage 18.1 and it is useless - nothing works on the phone, and it is constantly hanging down - I am not able even to connect it using USB to laptop, so I can format it... I cannot run TWRP either ...
Just stay on any android 10 Rom,best performance.
BTW,Arrow OS 10.0 is a good choice,device is passed on google play store certification.
If you want Android 11, go for asoip 11
if you want Android 10, go for PE or Arrow.
In PE10 as I wrote, there is constant issue with camera and any streaming apps do not show image (video) only audio.
Other thing, how to format and get rid of lineage 18.1?

I meet this bug too,I have no idea why Nexus 6P which running Lineage 18.1 no way to get usb connect. Tried almost every way, no working at all. Last, I teardown my Nexus 6P, then plug it again, everything work again.

PE does not face the camera issue, never try streaming apps. Can try when I get home.
There are no Android 11 ROM for our Nexus 6p except AOSIP 11. but it's a little bit buggy too.

You can just go too bootloader screen to flash the recovery and ROM again.

I have installed Pixeldust ROM and looks like it is working fine. So far all works well. I even got an update, but after downloading it I have no idea where it got stored so that I could install it. Another thing is that in Play store app Netflix and HBO Max are not available fo "this device" , where Disney+ and Prime are ... Odd.
