Hi,
in my spare free time I compiled a new unofficial LineageOS 14.1 ROM on my beloved Phenom II system with ECC RAM and made it available to you for 90 days from
https://www.filefactory.com/file/5fqmz223n9gx/lineage-14.1-20170403-UNOFFICIAL-SonyLOS-kugo.zip
https://www.filefactory.com/file/121p40o8v8gb/lineage-14.1-20170403-UNOFFICIAL-SonyLOS-kugo.zip.md5sum
The ROM can be installed through a recovery like TWRP. I also applied some modifications, in particular:
- the SonyLOS kernel has been replaced with the Sony AOSP version which seemed to be more up to date
- using some 7.1 binaries of Sony AOSP instead of the 7.0 binaries used earlier enabling some more features (?)
- replaced the LineageOS camera with the Simple Camera app
- integrated Total Commander, Apollo music player v2, SELinux permission changer and Viper4Android apps since I need them
Consequently,
- patchlevel now is March 5th, 2017
- the fingerprint sensor now seems to be usable to unlock your device
- the FM radio works (however, you have to manually scan through the stations once because automatically finding the stations initially still does not seem to work completely)
- the selfie camera image no longer will be upside down (seemed to be an issue with the LineageOS camera app, also will work correctly with i.e. Focal if you prefer a sophisticated app instead of Simple Camera)
- I can now use Apollo again as I did on the Z1 compact with CM 12
- the bass boost and equalizer are back with Viper, you just need to invoke the SELinux changer on the rooted device and install the drivers initially through Viper itself
Thanks fly out to Sony AOSP, SonyLOS and the app providers. Feedback is also very welcome.
Regards,
jtk_de
@admin: Could we please move this thread and my previous one to the ROM section ? I'm still not allowed to post something there
Great to see you're still updating your ROM. Don't understand why you upload at filefactory (sloooow download) instead of androidfilehost for example. Will flash your ROM tomorrow.
- should I flash a stock ROM first or does it not matter which version I'm coming from
- what do I need the .md5sum file for?
- gapps are not included, right?
I tried to use androidfilehost but my uploads got interrupted so I had to stick with filefactory for now. You don't need to flash the stock ROM first, just wipe the system, cache etc. partitions in your recovery and flash the .zip.
The md5sum checksum file is there to ensure the ROM integrity and is not needed for the flash, however, TWRP optionally can read it and veryify that the ROM has been correctly downloaded and copied to your phone's storage. Gapps is not included since I use alternative apps, hence it must be installed separately.
Root access is integrated already and can be controlled via the developer settings. The only issue I experienced so far is that the volume cannot be altered yet during phone calls
I don't get viper4android to work. I install the drivers, reboot my device and then viper4android prompts me to install the drivers again. Am I doing something wrong?

You need to enable root first and start the SELinuxModeChanger installed with the ROM and set SELinux to "Permissive". Then the Viper drivers can be installed which can take quite long (a minute or so). If an Android dialog pops up because of this confirm that you would like to wait longer. Then reboot as indicated and enjoy the bass
That worked for me thank you
Hey,
many thanks for that ROM. Unfortunately i end up in a never ending boot animation. If i get in recovery (TWRP) and tell him to reboot, it tells me that no OS is installed. Any hints how this can be solved?
Thanks for any advice!

Hi!
I think there aren't any os on your device, thats wha twrp sad that... because, your systems encrypted. You could remove it. Try to flash again twrp from fastboot, than clear cache ( fastboot format cache ) and userdata ( fastboot format userdata ) from flashtools too. After that boot to twrp, than you could mount system, than flash the whole cm rom again. After that, i think it will boot correctly.

Thanks for the hint. Did what you said, but i cant mount system in recovery. It cant be selected in the list. Any other suggestions? Ok solved it. had to flash stock rom and boot.img before the steps you asked me to try. Thank you!
Thank you for putting this ROM together! There are the following problems on the OmniROM:
1. Incall speaker volume is not controllable
2. Slight incall echo on receiving side
3. Double tap to wake doesn't work
Is this still the case for your Lineage ROM?

minimum Brightness
Hey!
i was just wondering if its possible to lower the minimal brightness a bit more. because minimal brightness is quite bright still. Im using this ROM for a few days now. Everything works pretty fine, but the battery life is a bit short for what i was expecting. If i dont use extreme battery saving mode its always around 24 hours. i barely do phone calls and i use it not very intensively... Highest Consumer is standby with 5%, which i think is wierd, isn´t it?
:good: Kudos. Everything seems to work well aside from the Bluetooth Audio cutting out after a few minutes. Overall I am really happy with it - happy enough that it's my daily driver.
Hi!
ROM will be better and better. Thanks.
Battery charging speed a bit slow, and if I'm using a mobil net, it's draining a little fast, plus in the evening, with wifi on, it goes down nearly 5%>. Camera is good. But, im using open cam software from google play. Fingerprint sensor working good, just a little hard to configure it. I'm using substratum theme engine, and i can theme most of the base and google apps. ( Except fingerprint sensor, with themed settings, the fingerprint setup screen cracked... but inthinknits theme problem ) And about bluethooth.. yes, it's dropping the connection after a few secs. But, if you left it, then reconnect automatically and just after that, it goes good. Until you turn it off. I used a sony sbh70 wireless headset with power amp.
And echo sound in calling. I can't hear echo, but other peoples in line, they sad it. They hear onselfs twice.. :/
If you would like it, maybe i can upload a logfile ( with matlog ) about the bluethooth problem.
Anyway, thanks foe thiese rom for our x compact.
It's good to see some other people are using the ROM and testing things that I can't test
According to my own experience battery lifetime is around 2-3 days when surfing via wi-fi, listening to music and calling from time to time. Battery charging with the Sony AC adapter coming with the phone is quite quick compared to the Z1C although the battery capacity is higher.
If I make another build I'll upload it to some faster provider though.
hello all,
give it some news there? Last entry April 2017.....
Hi all, are there some updates? I love Lineage OS
I'm wondering why there isn't an official build for the Xperia X Compact yet ? If I google "kugo lineageos" I get a hit for a stats page:
https://stats.lineageos.org/model/kugo
Which just says the page isn't rendered yet, but obviously someone has been devoting his/her time to the kugo. What could be the hold up? Same goes for the lack of other roms btw. It seems Sony is quite open towards the community but somehow this hasn't resulted in the overwhelming amount of roms I was hoping for ... It's quite underwhelming in fact. Could it be not enough (knowledgable) people own an Xperia X Compact ?

Sony gives us a sliver of what is needed for AOSP to run, camera, bluetooth, wifi, and radio band stuff all has to be manually made to work. The z3 line was the ONLY xperia line to ever get mainstream AOSP support from devs. If you bought your xperia thinking Sony's AOSP program was good you were sadly mistaken.

Hello.
This is where you can look at the tutorial and get the files to install if you feel like jumping into it ...
ICS Step by step and files
Note: if you do flash this and it hangs at the boot screen, pull the battery and flash it again and it should work. Some have had to do it 3 times.
I take no credit for this ROM and full props go to the developers of the above post and all those working to make this happen.
First the look and feel of ICS is nothing short of superb. The speed as of now is similar to all the other ROMS I have tried with a little chop here and there but nothing major.
Yes lots of little issues and items that do not work like the camera and GPS but not a huge deal for me so I am willing to stick to it.
Battery so far is decent. 13 hours and 43 min. on the first charge to calibrate and sitting at 24% still. This included allot of playing with the phone and reboots to test jigs
As for the issues that are somewhat bothersome, they include the following.
1. No home or search button. I know same as usual when installing an i9000 ROM but the key mappings from the GB ROMS does not work.
2. BLN (issue all around) will remain lit until you wake the phone to get the notification.
3. They had to do some funky stuff to get 3G to work so it lags to start. Not a huge deal cause it does start and remain working.
I will be continuing to use this ROM and hopefully everything will be working soon (these guys are flying. Also I have been told that the folks over at Glitch are already working on the kernels for the ICS port so that is promising as well.
If there are any other out there running this on our phone chime in with your thoughts or fixes if you have any.
Thanx
Bucky
Thanks for starting this thread. Can't wait to hear about your progress.
Alpha 7
Hey here is the update ...
Installed the Alpha 7 update today and I have to say this rom is fantastic.
1. Camera is fixed and works like a charm.
2. GPS locked in seconds and accurate indoors!! Big improvment over all other roms I have used.
3. HW Acceleration is fixed and working from what I can tell
4. You Tube is fixed and can watch video
Still on the not working list
1. Can not plug the phone in while off as it just restarts. this is a work in progress and known issue
2. Can not record video
3. Will not read a SIM card for contacts and so on (thank god for Google sync)
4. Still no home or search buttons (I think I may need to work on that on myself unless a kernel is released)
SO my review so far ...
No real issues with the general use of the phone. Text, phone, email and web are solid, I have installed apps from the market with no issues and not one FC yet. Battery life is good and nothing is taking over. I have been able to use the phone all day and still have lots left over before going to bed and plugging in. I have not been through a full battery as of yet but that is what I am working on now.
Memory - Last I looked I had 174MB of memory remaining which is the highest I have seen.
ICS is really smooth and fast while moving around. I am going to continue to play with it and report back here for everyone.
I don't use a whole lot of apps so there won't be much regarding those.
Thanx for stopping by and I will post pics when I can.

Thanks for the update. From your review, it sounds like an awesome rom. Can't wait to try it but need them to fix the video recording first. Although I might just cave and try it out just to see what the fuss is all about
Can always restore my current setup... lol.
Update ...
been getting the SOD today and not sure why, I mentioned above that the HW acceleration was working, I misunderstood and it is not fully working yet.
I found that the system partition is very small. There was an update which required copying libs and there was not enough space left to do this (2MB). Not too sure if this is due to coming from MIUI or just a ROM issue.
Alpha 8 was released but had quite a few issues so not flashing that one.
Daily use has been great so far (except for the SOD) with no reception or data issues.
I am still working on the home and search buttons but I think that will get fixed with a kernel update. I tried the keymap file but these buttons do not even register in recovery so I get nothing in the ROM either.
More to come ...
Haven't tried this (likely won't as I need the phone for work) but buck have you tried the manual key fix - some directions in our thread on putting on Darkys 10.3.

Hey buck , was doing some searching in teamhacksung's thread about their ICS port, and someone suggested to change the following and then the key mapping for our phones will work properly. Not sure if the file system is the same for both, but definitely a bit of info if it isn't!
All you have to do is change this part on**arch/arm/mach-s5pv210/mach-aries.c*

Hey, have a telus fascinate too. Know how to flash and all that fun stuff. Just don't fully follow where you make the changes for key mapping...if you could just guide me in the right direction, I can figure the rest out...
changes in the kernel zip? the beta zip? after flashing? something completely different?
thanks a lot!
There are no changes to be made with this ROM, they are built in. Just flash and all good.
I will post update tonight after work.

There are allot of BT related posts in the QA. I personally do not use any BT but I do have a headset that I will try when I get home.
Seems to be a battery drain issue too as my phone is now dead but I have not calibrated so we will see after I do that.

AT LEAST YOU GUYS HAVE IT RUNNING!!
I am having a hell of a time trying to get it to work. I have tried so many different ways to get it up and running but no luck.
I've tried installing it from MIUI 3 times but all I get when trying to boot into ICS for the first time is a Black Screen after the FuguMod boot screen.
The funny thing is that the 4 soft buttons at the bottom light up still.
So I then decided to try the JVT way:
-Flashed JVT DARKYROM (ODIN)
-Lagfix OFF
-FULL WIPEs (factory reset, cache, dalvik)
-FLASHED CM7.1 STABLE
-FULL WIPEs (factory reset, cache, dalvik)
-Flash ICS BETA1
-Flash kernel
-FOR THE SECOND TIME:
-Flash ICS BETA1 AGAIN
-Flash kernel AGAIN
Same issue, black screen after the FuguMod boot screen, buttons still light up.
So i tried a couple more times in a few different ways based off what I have already tried, but this time, before booting into ICS for the first time, I installed the 'Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip' package.
Same issue. I'm not having any luck here.

OK so here is what I did ...
Started from MIUI 1.11.18
1. Do a nandroid backup
2. download all the files to the SD card. This includes the ROM, Kernel and super user fix
Links:
Kernel:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/FuguModICS_GT-I9000_update.zip
ROM:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/ICS_4.0.1_r1-Beta1-i9000.zip
Super User:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip
3. Boot to recovery and do factory reset, wipe cache and davlik cache
4. Install the Kernel first and reboot now
5. Boot into recovery factory reset and wipe cache and Davlik and Install the ROM then reboot now
6 Boot back to recovery and install the Kernel again with out the wipe
7. If after reboot you do not have root then boot to recovery and flash super user fix
8. reboot and it should be working at least it was for me
It seems to me that you are missing the first flash of the kernel before the ROM. It sets up the file system from what I gather
Note: If needed flash the kernel and rom then kernel again with all the wipes as mentioned above.
I know there are allot of folks having issues getting it to run. Not too sure if it was the way I installed MIUI that might have made the difference.
My battery is charging now so I can calibrate it and see how it goes after that (it drained pretty quick today) lol.
I hope you can get it going cause it truly is awesome
Still not working:
Can not charge with the phone off
Google TTS stops working
Phone will not vibrate for SMS or email when in silent mode
BLN stays on for notifications until the phone is taken out of sleep (can be turned off)
Compass is why off (have not attempted to calibrate yet though)
11 MB left in the system partition (not much but I do not think there will be many changes there)
Video play back is choppy and some will not play
Bucky
regarding the black screen:
- had that too... I let it sit on the black screen for 2-3 minutes and then it went to the boot screen animation (a multi-coloured )...that for a few minutes...then finally booted.
How i got it working:
a) Started on MIUI...booted into clockwork
b) Backup
c) Wipe data / factory reset and cache and dalvik cache
d) Install rom and then kernel
e) Restart
f) Install rom and then kernel
g) Restart and wait very patiently for a little while
h) Once it all works, can reboot into clockwork and install superuser
Good luck! I really think the rom is nearly stable enough for daily use...
-------
Also have the no vibrate on silent... haven't tried the other stuff yet.
Oh and TTS hasn't crashed on this version yet for me...
Astrid glitches a little to a lot.
Changing from google tts to picco tts solves the problem there. As for the other stuff it is all reported as known.
I am using as a daily on my phone and no issues with general use. Still testing battery and that seems to be a bit of an issue with regard to Android OS as usual

Use the standard Torch app wherever possible, it only enables flashlight. Other apps from Play Store are designed to use the camera interface, which means camera will use additional power.
For more RAM: Settings->Performance->Memory management.
Do not enable KSM, as video encoder/decoder stops working.

Charge current - allows you to set custom charging current. While this actually limits the current input, it effectively decreases or increases the available current transferred to the battery. This is useful in multiple ways:
Slower, but more effective charging. Your battery will last longer.
Faster charging when connected to USB. For example, USB charging is limited to 500mA, but newer PCs allow drawing up to 800mA or even more. This can be configured via the setting.
Manual override of non-standard charger allowing to draw more than 500mA.
Magnetic sensor calibration - lets you delete previous calibration information. This is useful to recalibrate the compass (when it's inaccurate). Just tap the item & then open any compass up to recalibrate your sensor.
If the phone reboots unexpectedly, crash log is found at /data/dontpanic .

before installing the rom, i've wiped everything, data, cache, system and dalvkit cache, reboot recovery. After installed the rom, and right after, installed the gapps. Then, in recovery, reboot system and after it show the huawei logo, it enters recovery without showing the CM logo.
EDIT: i will install ble_part stock, and them install again the B518, repartition again and try to install CM again.
Booted and installed just fine after doing Blepart and using your recovery. It's slow as molasses, probably in great part due to the fact that the display glitches are still there, but it certainly works, and it's as much KitKat as my Moto G. Something worth mentioning, your recovery has some sort (the same?) of display glitch as well in which the screen only seems to update after a couple of presses of the volume button, not immediately.
ROM and GAPPS, everything works fine.
No glitches for me.
Great job, thanks!

I don't have any devices to compare it with so it feels "fast" to me. Its great to know the recovery suffers same display bugs, it confirms that its in fact kernel side problem. Though, kernel side does not have BLT enabled, which I thought would be the problem. I'll debug the registers, and see if I can find something odd. It could also be a clock hz issue, it was changed in 3.4.

Well, it stutters a lot, and it's not nearly as smooth as something like Aurora or even stock Huawei ROMs, but I'm sure it's related to the display issues or another issue like that because even scrolling through the Settings app or the little animation in the notification drawer that flips into the shortcuts stutters like hell and drags around, which shouldn't be an issue for this device and wasn't a problem with other ROMs, and overclocking and other user-level optimizations do nothing to alleviate it.
I did also notice black screens when waking the device from lockscreen (digitizer still works) almost every time, requiring multiple attempts until the display finally wakes. I know you squashed this one multiple times, but here it is again.
It's a miracle for this to happen to begin with, so I can't help to be amazed seeing KitKat on this device. Thank YOU so much, Blefish.

is anyone having problems to connect to wifi networks? i cant connect
EDIT: i guess that is a problem with the wireless definition of the rom, im thinking this, because i can connect to open networks, but when i change the segurity of the wlan to wpa or wpa2, i can't connect to it.
Could you look at this @Blefish?
Im not sure if its a bug or not, maybe something is broken in wpa.supplicant

I have flashed BlePart recovery, i have rebooted the recovery and i have flashed blepart 2.2 then i have flashed CVM Version 6.0.4.6. The phone rebooted and now i cant open the phone or recovery. I tried to install offical 2.3 from sd card but i coudn't. How can i recover my phone?
Status:
It still needs some polishing and cleaning up, and there are unresolved issues but nothing serious (check below). Based on user reports this is pretty usable. Battery and performance are both at least as good as stock, with the added benefit of having doze support, being less bloated, coming rooted etc.
Credits:
This wouldn't be possible without DeckerSU's post with an official MM rom. I've used his file to extract the binary stuff.
I've also cloned his device tree to build TWRP on omnirom since I was having a hard time building it on CM.
I started by cloning pivoq's device tree for CM12.1. So credit goes out to him too.
Those are just the things I've used directly but looking at other people's code also helped a ton to figure things out. So I guess credits goes also to the whole community/ecosystem.
Known Issues:
Smart lock isn't preserving settings across reboots. (If anyone is willing to test this and contact me, it can probably be fixed easily)
The bundled camera app (Snap) works well. Stock camera app works well as well (doesn't come with the ROM, maybe I'll provide a zip in the future). But some cam apps have issues.
Not Working / Enabled / Unknown:
Flip cover.
Drm?

No NFC icon on statusbar. ** Won't fix ** - AOSP or CyanogenMod do not have such an icon. Some vendors add it. As such I don't think ROM should come with it by default. Either there's an exposed module for it that people can install, or a flashable zip can be made to add it. I think that's the better route rather than have the ROM come with it.
CNE - ** Won't fix ** - Disabled by choice. It's an anti-feature in my opinion.
Notes:
Doze: Officially doze requires a special motion sensor that our device does not have. Motion will not keep the device from dozing, or awake it. Also, doze by default takes a long time to kick in (about ~1h), and I would advise people to tweak those timings to their usage patterns with Doze Settings Editor (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/root-doze-settings-editor-android-t3235130), or some other app like Greenify / Nap time. Lastly doze is supposed to work with GCM, which isn't available on the ROM by default unless you install google apps or an adequate substitute.
XPosed: works with v87+.
SELinux: I've seen a lot of people setting selinux to permissive, often because of some xposed module. SELinux is an integral part of android's security. Things are already pretty bad with it, disabling it isn't recommended. While there will still be many security bugs, often selinux limits their scope or makes it so that multiple bugs will be required for successful explotation. No xposed module is worth that.

I've decided to post now, perhaps prematurely, because I'm very limited on time I can spend on this (can't afford it). I'm also unsure if there's even many people interested. So the best way forward if there's interest is either other people joining in and carrying this further, or supporting development with some donations.
Donations:
So far got 9 donations.
$50 < Total donations < $100.
Thanks to anyone who's donated and has shown appreciation!.

Cool nice to see devrlopment to the 4.7 idol, I'm still waiting for the official marshmallow update (europeu representativas on Twitter and Facebook keep saying its coming) but if that takes too long I might get to use this rom
wow, i never thought that we will ever get cm13! thank you for your hard work! please, don't give up!
Rom is Very good.
downloading it now, i'll have time to flash the rom tonight
does xposed work?
basic functions like phone, sms, 2g, wifi work without any problem?
what about battery?

I noticed I made a mistake on this build and as such the camera is broken. I'm gonna make a new build in a couple hours.
Never tried xposed.
Basic functions are all working for me. At least for the 6039Y I think it should work but we'll find out if people leave feedback. My guess is that it's probably working, with the exception of maybe dual sim variants.
Wifi should be working. Qualcomm CNE isn't, and I'm unsure if I even want it as a feature, need to research on it.
I haven't thought of a way to measure battery performance but I'm using it on my phone daily. If it's worse than it should be it's not by a very large margin. I also haven't run any kind of benchmark. (Too early for that in my opinion).
Thx,
for your work on CM13 for 4,7" Variant. If you upload new build with fixed camera i will test it on my europe 6039Y and leave feedback here.
Have a nice day

First time I got into a bootloot updating from CM12.1, had to change data and cache filesystem back to ext4, don't forget.
Gonna test it now, hopefully you can merge the latests @Unjustified Dev commits when he makes them public aswell

Yes, I haven't enabled f2fs support yet. I intend to do it at some point. Pivoq had a kernel source tree in which he updated f2fs, supporting xattr etc. I haven't figured out where did he import those changes from yet. I wanted to do the same, but didn't want to import from him because that's not being kept in sync with upstream.
What commits are you talking about?
Xposed work perfectly.
Nice,
i have installed at this time incl. xposed , but without gapps. After first setup all OK. In the next days i test with all my apps and give you feedback. I`m hopefully. :good:
This is the greatest thing to ever happen to my Idol.
Thank you so much. Root and Xposed work fine. Latest version of Busybox installed fine.
Flashed Gapps Pico successfully.
Seems to be really smooth but time will tell. Themes work perfectly.
Using the advanced reboot menu to try and reboot into recovery doesn't work. Granted i'm not using the recovery linked in the original post. I'm using the recovery made by DeckerSU.
What recovery is linked in your post? Is it Cyanogenmod recovery or TWRP and if so, what version?
EDIT: Not even "Adb reboot recovery" will get the device to boot into recovery anymore. Hmm...
Wow, just wow. You did more in one day, than some of the "DEV's" here for their entire time good job man.

I have a very good idea of why that's happening. Did you happen to change your bootloader at any point? Alcatel's kernel source has a non standard way of handling reboot, what's more, it's not exactly the same in their lollipop vs marshmallow sources.
The recovery in the post is twrp 3.0.2 with support for encryption and adopted storage. It's using the same kernel, so if you flash that recovery what I expect will happen is that you wont be able to reboot into bootloader or reboot into recovery from the recovery either. The decision of where to reboot into is done by the bootloader and precedes the kernel, just so you know. Changing the recovery can't fix that. Of course you can always do so using power+volume keys, until I fix it.

I don't think I've changed the bootloader since I got the device. I don't have access to fastboot commands. My idol was a O2 branded one that I brought quite recently. I haven't been able to use Petrov.0's method of restoring the fastboot commands either. I don't really mind losing the ability to reboot into recovery from the system since its worth it for Android Marshmallow.
Thanks, I'll be using your recovery from now on too since its more updated. :good:
Flashed, tested
-unlocked 6039Y 2AALWE7
-tap to wake/sleep works
-sms, phone, wifi works
-gapps works
-front camera in photo mode really dark, in video mode is okay
-tried Google Camera from play store, it crashes everytime, when switching from video to photo mode

Hi! I think I've tried every Lollipop/Marshmallow ROM out there, but I haven't found one as stable as KitKat ROMs (CM11/Stock). I just want a Lollipop/Marshmallow ROM that doesn't hang every time I open YouTube from recents (many apps suffer of that too), and with working WiFi (had this problem with CM13), and with decent battery life. CM13 is actually one of the most stable ROMs I've tried, but it had serious WiFi problems (it simply disconnects from the WiFi and then reconnects saying it doesn't have internet access, very annoying), some kind of TV-like static when booting and sometimes when unlocking the phone, and the recents cards sometimes got cut off (though this is not really a deal breaker). The only Marshmallow ROMs I haven't tried are BeanStalk and Mokee because they are based on CM, so I supposed they have the same problems. So, what's the most stable Lollipop/Marshmallow ROM you have tried? And can that ROM be used as daily driver?
Thanks!
Sorry for my English lol.
Which other Roms have you tried?

Exodus (5.0, will try 5.1), BlissPop, DirtyUnicorns, dhacker's unofficial CM12, Mokee (5.1), ResurrectionRemix, unofficial CM13...
EDIT: Tried Exodus 5.1, really slow.
MoKee
So far, so good (It's only been 24 hours since I've installed it) on the 17-01-29 build of Mokee here
Wifi has been solid with no issues, rom seems stable, and YouTube ran fine from recents.
Update: Had strange problem with downloading email attachments with both gmail and Yahoo mail. Back to stock KK for the time being.
Update: Turns out the above email problems had to do with permissions.

It doesn't even boot here, first time it booted but it said that encrypting my device failed (WTF?) and then rebooted to do a factory reset, and it wiped the system partition. xD
I installed it again without Gapps and now it won't do anything, it justs sits there in the bootanimation for several minutes and then reboots. Perhaps I didn't downgrade correctly? How did you downgrade? I used RSD Flasher, and it has worked fine for me in the past.

It took me awhile to find the procedure and files that I used to downgrade/upgrade, but I finally did. Thanks to Nobe1976, this method of going back and forth from KK to JB doesn't require a PC; There are 2 zip files that you can flash w/ TWRP to go back and forth. Here's the procedure and file links: http://www.droidrzr.com/topic/50096-how-tomobile-downgrader-flash-back-10-09-14-14/
I too thought Exodus was stable, but slow. I liked using MoKee 5.1, but I had an annoying problem with it that I couldn't solve: Every time I picked up my phone, there was a notification to sign back onto my WiFi network. It did so without asking for any credentials, but it got too annoying for me.
Right now, I'm using PacMan Rom (4.4.4), and it's been performing very well and is stable. Here's the link in case you wanna try: https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/pacman/moto_msm8960/KK/release

Thank you so much! That will save me so much headaches lol.
I'm using lastest CM11 snapshot, working fine, but I find the battery doesn't last as much as in CM12.1.
EDIT: I'm writing from Mokee 6.0! That method for downgrading works flawlessly!
Mokee feels better than CM12.1 except by that TV-like interference when you unlock the device, and I haven't tried the WiFi, but it looks okay.
Thing to remember while reading all of the below, I have an XT905, with a JBBL.
I'm currently using "cm-13.0-20161205-ilichva-xt907_jbb.zip" for my daily. The only repeated "fails" I have is where WiFi will disconnect, however, it only happens if I am not using it and the phone is asleep. One thing I have noticed is that this is the only ROM that actually does go into deep sleep for me. I'm only on Wifi at home for extended periods (ie when phone goes to sleep). This may be the reason the other ROMs don't loose WiFi, because they don't go into deep sleep for me. My Wifi disconnects, and never is connected without internet. I just go into Wifi, select my network and say connect, and its all good again.
Previously (a few years back) I was using BlissPop (Lollipop), but did not use the latest build. I had better luck with "BlissPop-v3.9-moto_msm8960_jbbl-OFFICIAL-20150829-1751.zip"
Others I have used (Lollipop) and found pretty stable (ie used as daily for some time) were:
CARBON-5.1.1-Final-moto_msm8960_jbbl.zip
Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.8-moto_msm8960_jbbl.zip
and for KitKat
LS-KK-MileStone-3.2-moto_msm8960_jbbl.zip
With the CM13 ROM I have a 64GB SDCard, F2FS cache partition, Xposed, Viper, a Linux Swap Partition (512mb) and personally find it to be the most stable ROM I have used (apart from WiFi) on the phone. Some of the Lollipop (bliss pop included) could not run my live wallpaper (Celestial Bodies). I have also noticed that at least one app using the CPU (a Solitaire game attempting to find a winnable deal manually) actually runs a lot faster in CM13 than in the others.
If YouTube bothers you, maybe you should try the alternatives such as New Pipe or OGYouTube etc etc. Actually, I just tried YouTube from the recents,and it worked fine for me.
As for the TV Static on boot (just before animation) I have had that since I first unlocked the bootloader; I thought It was normal. It has been independent of any ROMs and it happens for me on every ROM.
Mokee 5.1
Sorry for going off-topic but would any of you guys happen to have a copy of the last LP Mokee build that was released on 4PDA ?
MK51.1-xt907_jbbl-20160420-ilichva.zip
The link is unfortunately dead and I can't find a mirror anywhere. I'd like to save a copy just in case anyone asks in the future. If any of you have, would you please share privately with me? Thanks a lot!

The TV-like static seems to be something with the JBBL, it happens even in recovery for me (when the recovery locks and turns off the screen). About the WiFi, it disconnected even if I was playing a game or using the internet, but I live in a place where I don't have WiFi anymore, so it's not a problem.
Indeed, Mokee 6.0 and CM13 are the most stable ROMs I've tried, even more than CM11, except for the bugs said above, even the battery lasts more.
BTW, how do you increment swap? I've tried several methods, but it still shows 256MB.

I personally have only seen it happen when the I wake the device up. Never has it occurred while I am using it.:angel: Last night I was searching for another thing in Xposed, and I saw a lot of Wifi type modules. Though most were about turning wifi off when the screen goes off; but I wasn't looking for Wifi stuff, so maybe you could find something that helps.

I tried Mokee, and I cant remember why, but it wasn't OK as a daily for me. To be honest, I would find it hard to go back to a ROM (ie less than MM) that does not have privacy guard. I also forgot to mention on my phone I have Adaway and Lucky Patcher and > 10 boot scripts (such as swap, IO optimisations, trim command, disabling media scanner on boot ... etc etc etc)

I am guessing by "increment" you really mean implement? Assuming that, I use a boot script. Currently I use a swap partition, so, for that I:
1. create a linux swap partition on the SDCard using Minitool Partition Wizard
2. Put the card into my phone, boot it and Find out the partition details (eg "/dev/block/mmcblk1p2" on my card now)
3. create a boot script to enable it on boot. The meat of the script is:
Code:
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk1p2;
Previously I have used a swap file, which is actually more complex. Something like:
Code:
location=/mnt/media_rw/sdcard1/data/local/tmp;
file_name=swapfile.dat;
desiredsizemb=512;
dd if=/dev/zero of=$location/$file_name bs=1048576 count=$desiredsizemb;
swapon -p 16000 $location/$file_name;
Hope the above helps, and let me know if you get it working.

Mokee has be running pretty solid here, I'll try CM13 and/or BeanStalk in a few days, though.
About swap, if I run "free" in the Terminal it shows it has swap memory, and I tried several methods (well, apps) to increment it but no luck. I'll try yours in a few days.
About the WiFi and the TV-like static, I bet is some difference between xt905 and xt907.

Well, the swap you currently see is ZRam, which is a compressed partition of memory used as a swap partition. ie not a file or physical partition on an sdcard (as I use above, in addition to ZRam). To increase ZRam, you loose available memory. That can be simply changed with the following lines:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset;
OR
swapoff /dev/block/zram0;

mkswap /dev/block/zram0;

The number is 1024*1024*target_size (MB eg 600). I think you have to do it at boot time or you end up with device or resource busy messages.
Or you could use Kernel Adiutor - Virtual Memory
That actually reminds me, one bug I have noticed on all the CM13 ROMs I tried, was that the init.d did not work, I had to use Kernel Adiutor to implement it; and I have a lot of scripts.
Currently running the new Lineage ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3577746. Thanks to Ilichva...
So far, so good !!! Performing very well with no issues found yet. :thumbup:
It still has the WiFi disconnecting when asleep for me.

Performing well here, too! It has the same bugs CM13 had, but I feel is a bit snappier.
Is it just me, or is the default swappiness set at 100? (cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness)
I actually tried lowering it to the android default of 60, and the ROM felt less "snappy", so put it back at 100

Possible Wifi fix?
trivialPotato said:
I just want a Lollipop/Marshmallow ROM ... and with working WiFi (had this problem with CM13), and with decent battery life. CM13 is actually one of the most stable ROMs I've tried, but it had serious WiFi problems (it simply disconnects from the WiFi and then reconnects saying it doesn't have internet access, very annoying).

...I'm oly on Wifi at home for extended periods (ie when phone goes to sleep). This may be the reason the other ROMs don't loose WiFi, because they don't go into deep sleep for me. My Wifi disconnects, and never is connected without internet. I just go into Wifi, select my network and say connect, and its all good again.

I have made a change to build.prop, which APPEARS to have bettered my Wifi stability.
Now, its only been a few hours, so its pretty early to say :fingers-crossed: it has definitely fixed it, but normally within this time, I would of expected to loose my Wifi connection, but it hasn't. :highfive:
Also, the change I made, I have read is actually only set at build time and thereby built into the ROM and not read from the build.prop.
The build.prop setting is: wifi.supplicant_scan_interval. My RAZR had it set to 30, while my N5 was set to 15. I have set it down to 5 (for testing purposes ) Searching the net will bring up heaps of explanation of what the setting is for (and also info saying its only a build time property)
So in summary, I have set the following build.prop
Code:
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=5
And my WiFi has been solid for the past 3 hrs (normally in sleep except for being woken every 10 minutes to check its still ok ). Let me know if it works for you.

Because i'm new , i can't create link
Hi gapps included in ur ROM?
And can I install other boot.img files? I have tried that.
I know it won't work but a question..
Still will download and test..
---------- Post added at 07:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 AM ----------
Almost everything works except Volume control while calling the same problem on 17.1 ROMs but everything else works fine I can just adjust volume from my file I'll just patch it with profile text lol thanks.. Very nice work ??????☎?
Yup this is my other account here.
and only on my laptop..
But i managed to get my favourite Kernel to be installed thanks to this beautiful work and kernel i installed is enforced and my ( favourite Kernel )
is pemissive so it depends on kernel and i don`t give a f... nice work man.. Thanks..
I can`t say thank you enough because i have tried other roms to get my thing install`d lol THANK YOU..
Are there any issues with audio on incoming or outgoing calls? Did you manage to get both the front and back cameras working? Most other custom roms have a combination of issues there.
EDIT: I just noticed Johannes did mention a call volume issue
add support 925f zeltexx pls

It has that same sound software problem.
But I think everything else is working. I try to restore boot from my previous backup it works but (sim not showing).
I try to restore other backup stuff but, of course did not working.
But it amazing i can use other kernel just by restoring from backup
They might be better ways to use other Rom's kernel.
I will use it like that soon without any possibility to have Sim card
I like my kernel lol..
This phone ( I ) use is near death so let end it Battery life with that Kernel I use... Lol
I'll test permissive only file download soon and try to restore boot from backup. And see
Or I should try to install Boot.img from the zip
Edit: It didn't work but first with enforcing SE always boot up no matter what i restore from my backup boot/cache/data/efs. I didn't test other rom enough yet.
And I will test more soon for fun..
Btw.. I got 3 mods installed on my backup so I'm gonna have to test new install's from all rom's and re-test from all over.. Or from start lol..
I want to know you guy's have any mods to make system faster or battery-friendly mods
I have added some text to build.prop and installed 3 mods I think. Maybe not all installs patches:
First for Fullscreen Gesture (Q) from Magisk modules.
Because my ROM is old and I removed some system apps.
And then I install kernel mod from this site. Lol (kTweak) it can be seen from Magisk
And 1 patch from here XDA post few days ago
And my build.prop tweak it looks funny:
ro.min_pointer_dur=0
ro.max_pointer_dur=40
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=9000000000
windowsmgr.min_events_per_sec=0
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=60
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
logcat.live=disable
ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100
profiler.force_disable_err_rpt=1
profiler.force_disable_ulog=1
ro.mot.eri.losalert.delay.delay=1000000000
ro.kernel.checkjni=0
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
persist.android.strictmode=0
ro.config.nocheckin=1
That it if I didn't forget something
And make Settings less cpu hog or how to say make it CPU friendly lol .
1 more thing I have edited Sound mixer from System files
You can search it on my comments on my other account Johannes Davidsen
On Enezusun's 17.1 Lineage Os Multitarget rom
I couldn't post attachment's so I have to copied text
That all.
Here, there are 3 sections i think : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83187603&postcount=310
This ROM has still the sound volume issues, but camera is working here, right?
This one https://github.com/enesuzun2002/lineageos-ota/releases (28. Feb build) has working call volume and also working cameras, right?
The 13. April build of it has sound issues again and fast battery drain?
It's hard to keep track of what's working in each ROM build and what's not.

Why don`t you test them by yourself sometimes same device have different problem with same rom and it is very confusing..
For me all of them have working camera and all of them have, calling sound software problem that i just fix by editing sound file..
Have a nice day..
And yes cam is working on this new august build,
same on sound problem too

You can test it i have commented on Enesuzun`s rom i think it started on page: 31 or 32 there are 3 comment sections i use for text

Nice work. Thanks for that selinux enforcing rom. Unfortuately I cannot enable encryption. After set in security settings the boot in a bootloop.

I have exactly the same problem. And are there any other things to do to make the device even more secure? Some Modules ?

My dirty trick to enable encryption was, I installed e rom for the device. Enabled encryption without a pin direct after the installation.
Than I installed the 17.1rom without format data. Only wipe system, data and the caches. The rom boot up allready encrypted.
I only set a pin and thats it.
hello or a little problem with the download link, just don't have the link, can you try s create a link on mega or google drive ???
to another thing i wanted to say, i am surprised that you are creating a rom for android 10 with the SElinux Enforcing, i wanted it a lot to increase the security, but the problem of this that lead to lose some battery, however i am interested to try this rom on my samsung galaxy s6 SM-920F i just have to understand where the link lol.
in my opinion, however, thanks to the rom with the SElinux Enforcing maybe this rom could become official if you want, and put on the lineage os website, but honestly I don't know how it works, this is just my opinion
I wanted to say another thing, that second it was better to do lineage os 16.1 because it is much more stable for this device, in fact existing official resurrection remix with android 9 that I use that not a bug, or tried official evolution x with android 10 but the problem of the wi fi that turns off and that you can disable it on the lock screen, and this and these 2 are a big problem, and that problem also exists in the lineage os 17.1 of another creator, everything to see if in the future when there will be lineage os 18.1 for this device with android 11 maybe the wi fi and lock screen security will work prevent you from turning off the wi fi from the lock screen
i am using google translator, hope the translation is right

A wipe basically formats a partition, so what exactly do you mean, that you wiped the encryption too?
I'm sure this ROM doesn't support whatever encryption /e/ may support that you're suggesting.
But maybe I've got this all wrong

Sorry for my English thanks a lot for your attention.

Someone please can explain to me step by step how do this trick for enable encryption ?
I've tried 6 times and nothing works maybe I'm misleading something.
Hi, i just wanted to ask how you compiled lineageos for the s6. I tried to compile los 17.1 with the files provided by enesuzun and have massive problems with lunch detecting the files. Many are missing and even if i collect all it just acts weird. Since enes provided many working images these file should work to compile, don't they? Do you know any good tutorial? Most of them are only either for official builds or completely new unsupported devices.
Thank you in advance.

What gapps? opengapps is provided for 10.0 only...
I have LOS 16.0 from enes but wanted to give it a try.
After wiping (system, cache, data) and installing this rom with opengapps 10.0 and magisk zips,
the reboot stucked in boot loop.

For LOS 16, which is Android 9, you have to use the OpenGApps for Version 9. You can download them at the OpenGApps Project Homepage.
Try one step at a time when flashing or try the newest version from enes.

Oh, I mean: what gapps does this ROM (17.1) need? (with opengapps 10.0 I got into bootloop)
