[June 23] Sailfish OS for early adopters released for Nexus 4 - Nexus 4 General

Hello guys.
Here is the third update for Sailfish OS for Nexus 4:
Dear early adopter of SailfishOS for Android devices. This is important - read this whole mail through and follow all steps exactly as written.
IMPORTANT: If you choose to publish this mail through blogs, news sites, forums, or others, quote it as-is and in complete form ONLY, or people's devices may be at risk.
We're happy to publish the third Early Adopter Release of SailfishOS (1.0.7.16) for Nexus 4 (mako) to you.
We are still working on the SailfishOS Hardware Adaptation Development Kit, which describes how to port SailfishOS to existing devices based on CyanogenMod 10.1. Newer versions of CM will be supported eventually. We'll publish the HADK in the very near future.
This installation image is for early adopters only, meaning we know that some things are not functional or perhaps even broken -- please see the release notes below. We are excited to get all of you properly included in the early stages of the project. Do note that this SailfishOS image is strictly for personal and non-commercial usage only.
We've prepared a 'demo' version of the image which contains the kind of preinstalled 'marketing' content and the core apps used for demonstrations - this helps you quickly get a feel for all the interactions that are avalable on a device that has been used for a while but isn't really what you want for personal use. You can however cleanly remove the demo content.
We want to build a community around SailfishOS for Android devices that is based on mutual trust and respect for what we are all doing. Hence -- we ask that whenever you do screenshots, videos, forum or blog posts (and we're happy if you do!) or the like, you emphasise that this is an under-development snapshot and not a final product release.
It is important for Jolla that the correct expectations are set for those who might be users of the final product -- and that they understand what they see is not a released product. If you do demo videos, you can take advantage of our new 'demo content' image that has pre-set contacts/imagery/messages/etc to show full functionality of SailfishOS.
WARNING: Modifying or replacing your device’s software may void your device’s warranty, lead to data loss, hearing loss, hair loss, financial loss, privacy loss, security breaches, or other damage, and therefore must be done entirely at your own risk. No one affiliated with this project is responsible for your actions but yourself. Good luck.
NOTE: You will lose your on-device data (including /sdcard), so make a proper backup and make sure to copy that backup to your PC.
NOTE: Make sure to read all the release notes below. Please DO NOT contact Jolla Care for any issues encountered with this Early Adopters build, instead use communication channels listed below.

Release notes/Known issues in EA3:
* EXPERIMENTAL: Jolla Store is now available, you'll need to register with your Jolla Account
* NOTE: Booting Nexus 4 with SIM first, and then removing SIM (or vice versa) may cause Jolla Store to see it as two different devices and cause potential breakage. Please stick to either SIM available or not when running SailfishOS on Nexus 4.
- There may be a bug with oFono RIL support that makes it not report IMEI value causing this and will be sorted out in a later update.
* DISCLAIMER: Using Jolla Store with Jolla Account might break applications on your other devices, use it at your own risk!
* Android support is not available from the Store, even if you can see Android apps listed (those will be removed eventually from store view)
* This functionality means that image comes with only minimal set of pre-installed apps. Use Store to download the ones you need.
* The backlight is dark during first launch, but can be fix by switching the currently-not-working ambient light sensor off (uncheck Settings->System->Display->Adjust automatically)
* When display is blanked, power management sets WLAN to the lowest speed state
* Can be noticed in a SSH-over-WLAN session
* Chat notifications may arrive with a slight delay
Fixes after EA2:
* Watermark removed
* Phone-call audio volume can now be changed with the help of volume buttons
* Improved responsiveness when waking phone up with the power button
* Settings->System->Developer Mode or About Product do not freeze anymore
* Reverted to the original (non-Silica) Fingerterm
Fixes after EA1:
* Phone-calls with audio work
* Timers and alarms (with device powered on) work
* HTML5 video+audio works in Browser (tested splash on http://jolla.com )
* Update is based on SailfishOS version 1.0.5.16
Release notes/Known issues in EA2:
* To securely power off the device, during its boot-up keep Volume Down pressed to enter bootloader mode. Using volume keys, select "Power off" option, then press the Power key
* If not auto-detected from SIM, set-up mobile internet data settings via Settings->System->Mobile network->(long tap on the first toggle-item under "Mobile data" section)->(enter settings given by your operator)
Nexus4-specific known issues reported by the adopters (in EA2):
* Chinese text input not working
* Localhost name is shown as Jolla
* Switching between the online and offline status in the status information setting takes very long and often doesn’t switch properly
* Google contacts which are put together with different information, are now split up into several contacts in Sailfish
* The battery display seems to be a bit buggy because it loses about 15% from one second to another
* The calendar overview when filled with events seems to be a bit laggy
* The email push is not working correctly, I do not receive any emails until I push the refresh button
* Splitting words in the German translation: e.g. in the open apps on the home screen it says: "Kurzzeitmesse" and in the next line the missing "r"
* NOTE: all other Sailfish OS issues have already been reported on TJC - http://together.jolla.com - and many of them were fixed in this 1.0.5.16 release
Release notes/Known Issues in EA1:
* Developer mode is activated at all times
* There has been no throughout testing of telephony related functionality (roaming, airplane mode, etc) and any use of this functionality is at your own risk
* Sensors, Device lock, Reset device, Bluetooth, USB control + MTP, Bluetooth, WLAN hotspot, Camera (photography, video recording), and video playback is not supported in this release
* The image SW is not currently upgradeable, nor is any typically licensed multimedia codecs (MP3, etc), HERE maps, Android application compatibility layer, or word prediction for virtual keyboard preinstalled
* This image does not include any typically licensed multimedia codecs (MP3, etc), HERE maps, Android application compatibility layer, Microsoft Exchange support, or word prediction for virtual keyboard preinstalled
* It is not possible to double-tap to wake up the device
* Powering off device puts it into a state of deep slumber; possible to get out of by holding power button and volume down key with a bit of persistence
* Fingerterm keyboard is not at its best due to the portrait-only mode
* FPS drop while scrolling in homescreen due to non-batching when rendering of application icon grid
* Icons/graphics appear unproportionally small in browser toolbar, time select widget, and Settings favourite icons
* Multiboot/Multirom is not supported yet but we're happy if you would like to teach/help us
We will all meet in #sailfishos-porters (note, new location) on irc.freenode.net and please use us (thp, alterego, Stskeeps, lbt, sledges) to work together, report any bugs, graphical glitches or missing functionality that you find, which are not included in the release notes above. You can also find the hardware adaptation source code at http://github.com/mer-hybris .

That's quite a long list of non-working hardware. Almost all of those are essential things I use every day, though I don't doubt the porters are doing the best they can do make these features available as fast as possible.

It's quite outdated. Voice calls ARE WORKING . and a few other things too.

I think Jolla is soon going to releaser the Sailfish OS Launcher for Android Smartphones to give us the opportunity to have an idea about Sailfish experience before releasing the OS for Android powered devices.

Good news!
I updated the thread due to progress done on Nexus 4. There are new changes.
I think Jolla guys are focusing on Nexus 4 first before other Devices.

Come on,baby ! Just waiting for sailfish
Hope it improves fast and smooth,waiting for sailfish. thanks all DEV

I think it'll be shortly after the 1.0.4.1 Update release simply because these builds are running that (1.0.4.1) update.

huh...
So there aren't any flashable zip file for this, eh?

Android 5.0 "Lollipop" is the latest version of the Android mobile operating system developed by Google. Unveiled on June 25, 2014 during Google I/O, it became available as official over-the-air (OTA) updates on November 12, 2014 for select devices that run distributions of Android serviced by Google, including Nexus and Google Play edition devices. Its source code was made available on November 3, 2014.
One of the most prominent changes in the Lollipop release is a redesigned user interface built around a responsive design language referred to as "material design". Other changes include improvements to the notifications, which can be accessed from the lockscreen and displayed within applications as top-of-the-screen banners. Google also made internal changes to the platform, with the Android Runtime (ART) officially replacing Dalvik for improved application performance, and with changes intended to improve and optimize battery usage, known internally as Project Volta.
QUESTIONS:
-What are you guys thinking about this new update for our phones?
-What are you thinking about new MATERIAL DESIGN?
-What about ART? (pros--cons)
-Guest user mode? Good?
-What about app compatibility?
-more soon
For now we know that
@ALEX.IMER work on CM12 for L7 (make all,but stuck on graphic module).
@Asce1062 work on CyanHacker L for L7 & L5
@aidasaidas75 Finished CM12 for L5 HERE
We have kernels which support both devices, that is good thing
For L7 there is IMER kernel which is in all his roms
For L5 there is SKernel by @skyinfo HERE
Also there is GAPPs thread by @Plamb1r and @Paget96 (me) HERE
Material design: fluid, purposeful motion
More tangible interaction
Content responds to your touch in an intuitive way.
More time playing, less time charging
Power for the long haul with a battery saver feature that extends your device by up to 90 minutes. And now it's easier to manage your power usage - see the estimated time left before you need to charge, and when you're charging, approximately how much time until it's topped up and ready to go.
More ways to secure your device
Share your device securely with guest user mode. Or create multiple user accounts to enable friends to log in on your device. In either case, no one will be able to access any of your stuff. And you can use Android Smart Lock to secure your phone or tablet by pairing it with a trusted device like your wearable or even your car.
Your device, your rules
For fewer worries and disruptions, adjust your settings so only certain people and notifications get through. When it's important, respond directly from your lockscreen.
Lollipop features​
Material Design
A bold, colorful, and responsive UI design for consistent, intuitive experiences across all your devices
Responsive, natural motion, realistic lighting and shadows, and familiar visual elements make it easier to navigate your device
Vivid new colors, typography, and edge-to-edge imagery help to focus your attention​
Notifications
New ways to control when and how you receive messages - only get interrupted when you want to be
View and respond to messages directly from your lock screen. Includes the ability to hide sensitive content for these notifications
For fewer disruptions, turn on Priority mode via your device’s volume button so only certain people and notifications get through. Or schedule recurring downtime like 10pm to 8am when only Priority notifications can get through
With Lollipop, incoming phone calls won’t interrupt what you’re watching or playing. You can choose to answer the call or just keep doing what you’re doing
Control the notifications triggered by your apps; hide sensitive content and prioritize or turn off the app’s notifications entirely
More intelligent ranking of notifications based on who they’re from and the type of communication. See all your notifications in one place by tapping the top of the screen​
Battery
Power for the long haul
A battery saver feature which extends device use by up to 90 mins
Estimated time left to fully charge is displayed when your device is plugged in
Estimated time left on your device before you need to charge again can now be found in battery settings​
Security
Keep your stuff safe and sound
New devices come with encryption automatically turned on to help protect data on lost or stolen devices
SELinux enforcing for all applications means even better protection against vulnerabilities and malware
Use Android Smart Lock to secure your phone or tablet by pairing it with a trusted device like your wearable or even your car​
Device Sharing
More flexible sharing with family and friends
Multiple users for phones. If you forget your phone, you still can call any of your friends (or access any of your messages, photos etc.) by simply logging into another Android phone running Lollipop. Also perfect for families who want to share a phone, but not their stuff
Guest user for phones and tablets means you can lend your device and not your info
Screen pinning: pin your screen so another user can access just that content without messing with your other stuff​
New Quick Settings
Get to the most frequently used settings with just two swipes down from the top of the screen
New handy controls like flashlight, hotspot, screen rotation and cast screen controls
Easier on/off toggles for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and location
Manually adjust your brightness for certain conditions. Then, adaptive brightness will kick in based on ambient lighting​

-Next Lollipop updates-​
Update 5.0.1
As of now, there is no word on what precise changes the Android 5.0.1 update brings; though we can expect the release to bring fixes to various bugs and issues reported by Android 5.0 Lollipop users in the recent few weeks. With the release of Android 5.0.1 factory images for Nexus devices, we can expect that Google will soon announce the incremental update.
Update 5.0.2
Android 5.0 is has been publicly available since early November, and the number of devices getting Google’s latest OS is growing bigger every day. In the first few weeks after its release, Google focused on stability and released quite a few update builds. Now, it’s the time for a small numerical bump, because Android 5.0.2 has just been pushed into Google’s AOSP repos.
Android 5.0.1 was rather minor update, with only a few notable changes. Android 5.0.2 is definitely bigger, but it’s still not huge. Google managed to address some issues with MountService which should now start before performBootDexOpt. This fixes a previously reported bug in the issue tracker. Some other changes related to NAND have also been pushed. Fstrim, introduced in Android 4.3, caused some serious issues on Lollipop. According to this log provided by XDA Recognized Developer cybojenix, devices turned off for the night had problems with fstrim being launched at all. Google addressed the issue and devices with slow NAND should now have a noticeable performance boost.
Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi) and Nexus 7 (Mobile Data) device trees have been updated. As a result, new factory images for the Nexus 7 (2012) and updated binary files are have been pushed. As usual you can get them from the Android Developer Page. An updated device tree for tilapia is a good sign, as it’s one of two devices that haven’t received an official update already. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, signaling that Google will finally bring official Lollipop to the missing devices sooner rather than later.
If you want to build Android 5.0.2 yourself, you can update your current sources by executing the following command:
repo init -b android-5.0.2_r1 && repo sync
Update 5.0.3
A memory leak occurs when Android allocates a chunk of system memory for a task and then doesn’t release it again. This means that over time more and more memory will be allocated and none ever given back. Even with 2 or 3GB of RAM, eventually the system will run out of memory, and that is never pretty.
The thread on the issue tracker is hard to follow as there are lots of complaints and there is lots of general unhappiness, but little in the way of official comments from Google or Android developers. However it does now seem that Google has agreed that this is a bug, and that it has been fixed in the source code. What that means is that the latest source code used to build Android doesn’t leak memory. However that doesn’t actually help affected users at the moment. The next step is for Google to make a new release of Android, probably Android 5.0.3 Lollipop, with this and other bug fixes. However there is no news on when that will be. Let’s hope it will be soon.
Update 5.1
Google released Android 5.0 just over a month ago, and since then Lollipop has been trying to establish its position in the global smartphone market. Despite its many new features and overall greatness, Android 5.0 has many issues that still need to be addressed. According to our colleagues at AndroidPIT and their two internal sources, Google is working on Android 5.1, which should really come as no surprise because software progress is inevitable. We already know that Google is always looking ahead, but the interesting part is that if rumors are to be believed, we’ll see 5.1 as soon as the end of February.
This information, although plausible, could strike one as a bit odd. After all, usually Google releases one or two versions of its OS per year. But with the potential release of 5.1 right around the corner, it’s unclear as to why Google would want to roll out a new update so soon.
If AndroidPIT’s sources are to be believed, the update will allegedly bring following improvements:
-Silent mode added after missing on Android 5.0
-General improvements in system stability
-Improved RAM management
-Fixes for sudden app closures
-Improved battery management
-Excessive consumption of network devices when used Wi-Fi fixed
-Issues with wireless connections fixed
-Problems with Okay Google function solved
-Notifications problems solved
-Some sound problems experience by certain devices fixed
-Other improvements and changes
The to-do list is rather long, and Google will definitely address some of these problems. AndroidPIT claims that they got this news from sources close to Google and Android 5.1 will soon become a reality. We can only wait to see whether these revelations are real or not.

General discusion about KITKAT for L5 & L7
The Android 4.4 KitKat operating system uses advanced memory optimization technologies. As a result, it is available on Android devices with as little as 512 MB of RAM. This is important because previous versions of the operating system required more internal memory which made them incompatible with many older device models. This was a major cause of the problem known as Android fragmentation.
Android 4.4 KitKat features a cleaner user interface, Near Field Communication (NFC) support and always-on touch screen action buttons, which replace the need for the physical buttons found on many Android devices. KitKat also boasts an improved security-enhanced Linux module, which helps prevent unauthorized app access.
Google announced Android 4.4 KitKat in September 2013 and debuted it on the Nexus 5 smartphone the following month. For months prior to the release, observers expected the OS to be called Key Lime Pie, but Google renamed it as part of a marketing promotion with the Hershey Company, which sells a candy bar called Kit Kat in the United States.
Smart, simple, and truly yours
Beautiful & Immersive
A more polished design, improved performance, and new features.​
Just say “Ok Google”
You don’t need to touch the screen to get things done. When on your home screen* or in Google Now, just say “Ok Google” to launch voice search, send a text, get directions or even play a song.
A work of art​While listening to music on your device, or while projecting movies to Chromecast, you’ll see beautiful full-screen album and movie art when your device is locked. You can play, pause, or seek to a specific moment.
Immerse yourself
The book you're reading, the game you're playing, or the movie you're watching — now all of these take center stage with the new immersive mode, which automatically hides everything except what you really want to see. Just swipe the edge of the screen to bring back your status bar and navigation buttons.
Faster multitasking​Android 4.4 takes system performance to an all-time high by optimizing memory and improving your touchscreen so that it responds faster and more accurately than ever before. This means that you can listen to music while browsing the web, or race down the highway with the latest hit game, all without a hitch.
Smart & Simple
Google smarts improve every corner of the Android experience.
The future is calling
The new phone app automatically prioritizes your contacts based on the people you talk to the most. You can also search for nearby places and businesses, your contacts, or people in your Google Apps domain.
A smarter caller ID​Whenever you get a call from a phone number not in your contacts, your phone will look for matches from businesses with a local listing on Google Maps. Learn more about caller ID by Google.
All your messages in the same place
Never miss a message, no matter how your friend sends it. With the new Hangouts app, all of your SMS and MMS messages are together in the same app, alongside your other conversations and video calls. And with the new Hangouts, you can even share your location and send animated GIFs.
Emoji everywhere​Sometimes words can’t express how you feel. For that, there’s Emoji, the colorful Japanese characters, now available on Google Keyboard.
Grab & Go
New features help you get things done while you’re on the move.
Print wherever, whenever
Now you can print photos, documents, and web pages from your phone or tablet. You can print to any printer connected to Google Cloud Print, to HP ePrint printers, and to other printers that have apps in the Google Play Store.
Pick a file, any file​From apps like Quickoffice, you can open and save files on Google Drive, other cloud storage services, or your device. And with quick access to recently used files, it's easier than ever to send the file you were just working on.
Your office, anywhere
Create and edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations from your phone or tablet with the newly redesigned Quickoffice
Even more features

Full-screen wallpapers with preview
Your wallpaper now extends through the notification tray and system buttons. And when you change your wallpaper, you can preview just how it will look before you set it.*
HDR+ photography
HDR+ mode on Nexus 5 automatically snaps a rapid burst of photos and combines them to give you the best possible single shot. Daytime pictures are vivid with clean shadows, and nighttime photos are sharp with less noise.*
Infrared blasting
On devices with an infrared (IR) blaster, Android now supports applications for remote control of TVs and other nearby devices.
Location in Quick Settings
Access your location settings from anywhere with a new tile in Quick Settings.
Location modes and monitoring
If you want to conserve battery, go to Settings > Location to switch between high accuracy and battery-saving location modes. There’s no need to toggle GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile network settings. And to see which apps have recently requested your location, go to Settings > Location.
Low-power audio playback
Android 4.4 on Nexus 5 lets you listen to music for longer - up to 60 hours of audio playback.*
Music and movie-seeking from lock screen
Jump to a specific part of a song or video from your lock screen. Just long press on the play or pause button and then select the point you want.
Secure app sandboxes
Application sandboxes have been hardened with Security-Enhanced Linux.
Step counting built-in
When you use fitness apps like Moves on Nexus 5, the phone acts as a pedometer to count steps. Android 4.4 and updated hardware make this a more battery-friendly way to measure your activity.
Tap to pay, built a new way
Android 4.4 introduces a new, open architecture for NFC payments that works with any mobile carrier, and lets apps manage your payment information in the cloud or on your device. Now you can tap to pay with Google Wallet or other apps at more than a million stores.
Touchscreen improvements
Improved software and Nexus 5’s new hardware mean Android responds to your touch faster and more accurately than ever before.*

For me, i'm a fan of playing game so i hope the graphic in new version will better than present kitkat rom

From my experience w/ L from my aging galaxy tab 10.1 is great. Its smoother than KK.
AFAIK, @Asce1062 will make cyanhacker L. That's what he said on his thread and this will be due this DEC 20. We just hope so and wait.
For me, LS and cyanhacker will be great for L. Since this two ROMs were the smoothest of all KK I've ever flashed. Except for the last version of LS which is buggy.
So for now let's just wait and see.

Yes, I have been syncing LS trees since they had Lollipop ? before Cyanhaker. But now that will change . I will be building Cyanhaker (Which is now based off of CM 12)... The developers promised to implement the speed tweaks from LS and even improve on them. Then maybe later on I will build LS.

Bugs:
- WiFi MAC randomization toggle in Developer Options is not working, but AFAIK MAC randomization isn't even supported by original Pixel devices
- sRGB toggle in Developer Options not working
- Brightness/dimming acts funky and sometimes reduces brightness to 0 by itself, then the screen becomes unresponsive for a short time

1. Expected, I disabled the function, it's broken, but there's no easy way to hide it.
2. Yeah, but color profiles through LiveDisplay should work in it's place?
3. I've hit this on stock a few times, wondered if it was my device or what - maybe a hardware digitizer bug?

August 2021 unofficial update for Sailfish is working great ty
My experience these first weeks: the phone is very fast and responsive, battery lasting longer than last official stock firmware (Android 10). The following are the only issues I've found:
Automatic brightness going too low in the dark: This was present at least in the past two releases.
Android Auto not working in the car ("Test App" appears on screen when connecting to car USB). There's a workaround in the forums where you need to copy the .apk to a system folder here, or re-flashing gapps. This was also present in the last releases.
Great job!
I've found issues that the settings app seems to crash if you enter the permission screen on some (all?) apps. Just go into Facebook or Messenger or whatever and try to disable the microphone and there's a good chance for a crash
Also, I've definitely noticed what was mentioned above. This ROM seems to have 0% screen brightness as an option. The official LineageOS 16.1 does not.

1. I can take a look into this. Nothing has changed in auto-brightness since 18.0's initial push, so it must be device specific. Does it just go black?
2. Yeah, we can't fit full GMS - AA is one of the things I sacrificed to get GMS to fit.

Not absolutely black, but so low the screen is unreadable. The firsts times it happened I thought adaptative brightness will correct it according to my selection, but it doesn't - at least for the lower end. The very next step in the scale is perfect for a minimum.

I undestand. I though this wouldn't be the case when I noticed that the required system app for Android Auto is very small (~3MB), but the truth is our devices really suffer the low storage.
Again, thank you very much, amazing job!
Has auto-brightness been fixed? It really did set itself to 0% last time I tried this ROM. Was there some way to get it back up? What about MAC address randomization and sRGB toggle?
MAC Randomization should be controllable by the OS itself, not hardware.
Your signature says "Lineage OS Developer Relations Manager". Does that mean that you know whether there is a plan to officially bring Lineage OS 18.1 to Pixel Sailfish in the future?

I have sailfish, and took it in a pitch dark room, sure it got dark but I could still read it?
Maybe it's panel degradation? Do you see this problem on stock?
And yeah, it's not the devices fault really, LineageOS has grown like 50 mb in the last few weeks.

1. See above, I can't recreate.
2. I hid it, LIveDisplay offers an alternative that actually works.
3. MAC Randomization - nah, it's more complicated than that - the controller and firmware have to play nicely - and they don't - so I disabled it.
And lastly, there's a note in the OP about why this won't (likely ever) be official.
Thank you for a prompt response! I never had auto-brightness issue with any ROM's, be they official stock images or Lineage OS official images. This ROM was the only one with that issue.
I hope you don't mind me asking, but why is it necessary for IMS to work? VoLTE doesn't work for some devices with official Lineage releases, but it doesn't get in the way of such releases either.

Given that the pixel is a US centric phone, and the US is shutting down everything except for voice over LTE this year, we don't want to ship something that's not going to work as an "upgrade".
Thank you for this ROM, it's fast and smooth.

Nice update
I'm about to flash this right now bcs I'm sick of stock miui copycat ios experience. I hope there will be no major bugs, and it would be smoth just like tthe previous update.
Very nice ROM! Some fun: now google seen my device as "Huawei Nexus 6P"
Oops... Can't achieve USB file transfer mode.
USB doesn't works (exept charge) while system run.
In "fastboot" and "recovery" modes USB works fine.
very nice stable rom thanks much imanning and sourav for the support
I just had the weirdest bug with this ROM. Google Play Services doesn't work with my WiFi (both 2.4 & 5GHz) that means nothing gets downloaded from Play Store, but everything works fine with a different WiFi or mobile data. My WiFi is fine, checked on a different phone and it was working fine a while ago on MIUI. Nothing makes sense!

This rom has more problems. So i switched to crdroid. Now the bugs are tool less. It was nearly 2 day. I haven't found any bugs in crdroid.
In Pixel experience:
I had problem in calling. When I use ear speaker(speaker for calls) after 2 or 5 sec the sound get off. But when i turn on speaker i can receive sound in my speaker.
So PE has too bugs. Which i have switched to crdroid.

Xperia All in one Debloat Tool

PLEASE READ BEFORE USE OR ASK. ​IMPORTANT WARNING: ​DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS SOFTWARE FROM ANY SOURCE OTHER THAN THIS THREAD/FORUM. IT IS XDA EXCLUSIVE AND I WILL NOT RELEASE IT ON ANY OTHER FORUM. ANY FORUM THAT USES MY NAME OR REPOSTS IT IS NOT ME OR APPROVED BY ME. DOWNLOADING FROM ANYWHERE ELSE COULD RESULT IN TAMPERED OR MALWARE-INFECTED SOFTWARE.​I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY VIRUSES OBTAINED BY DOWNLOADING THIS SOFTWARE FROM AN UNAUTHORIZED SOURCE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!.​
IDEA BEHIND THIS SOFTWARE​As a long-time secondhand Xperia user, I have always preferred the Japanese version due to its lower price and Grade A quality. It is widely agreed upon that the Japanese version of the Xperia has slightly different hardware and software, and is often full of bloatware and dead services, especially for releases prior to the Xperia 1.
I have been developing this script for a long time for my own personal use, but I noticed that there are many people on the internet asking how to convert the Japanese version to the global version. This inspired me to create the Xperia All In One Debloat (XAIOD) tool, which allows users to easily remove bloatware with a single click. This tool is made with love for the Sony and XDA communities.

Docomo Variant
KDDI AU Variant
Feature​-All in one EXE
No need to download ADB separately. Simply download and run XAIOD.exe anywhere, with its own built-in ADB (note: Xperia driver may need to be installed manually for some devices).
-Simple as click and wait
While advanced users can use the manual mode to select specific settings, this software is designed for simplicity. Just click and select what you want to remove, from vendor/operator apps only to full bloatware and dead/Japan-specific software, with just two clicks. Wait for the process to complete (note: depending on your PC hardware and phone vendor, it may take a long time, but it is easily cancelable with the escape key if it gets stuck).
-Almost foolproof
There is almost no way to break your phone with this software. It has triple fool protection (no joke - I really don't want to be blamed if someone uses this in a very stupid way) and has been tested on two real Xperia devices (Xperia XZs and XZ1 with Android 8 and 9) to the extreme, with no harm done to either device. However, someone may eventually find a way to use this in the most "unhuman" way possible, so please use with caution.(For the average user, this is 99.99% harmless, even if unplugged/rebooted during the process.)
-Completely offline
For those who may be wondering or concerned, this software works fully offline. There is no need to enable a firewall or make any changes to your antivirus software. If you prefer, you can simply disconnect from the internet and the software will continue to function like a charm (With the exception of external links like xpricheck.com, which I have included for reference, because let's face it, even I can't write out the entire database of Sony smartphone information that this software is indexing. But don't worry, it won't affect anything on your end. Unless, of course, you're dying to know what SOV35 or S0-5k stands for. In that case, just double click on any of the devices under Supported Models menu)
-Provided by me, maintained by us
This software could have been made in just two days, but I am taking it one step further by adding all future features now for easy updates. While it took longer to create, it will be easy to update and I am now finished with my work. It is now up to the community to provide me with app lists. So, while the native device list is currently small, the compatible list and community list will grow over time, thanks to you - those who help test by using it, adding more devices by giving/donating your vendor app names, and confirming whether things work or not by commenting.
How to use​
Download this Software + download Xperia driver (if needed only).
Enable USB Debugging by going to:
Settings > System > About phone > Tap build number (Android 8/9/10)
Settings > About phone > Tap build number (Android 11/12) Then:
Settings > System > Developer option > USB debugging tap to on (Android 12)
Settings > System > Advanced > Developer option > USB debugging tap to on (Android 9)
Settings > System > Developer option > USB debugging tap to on (Android 8) (Enabling "stay awake" is recommended if your display turns off in less than 5 minutes)
Plug your phone into your PC with a data cable (no more than 1 device)
Run the software.
Wait until the software recognizes the device. If the software is not detecting anything, check your phone and allow USB debugging on this PC.
Check if your device's status is native/compatible or not supported.
If native/compatible, hit auto mode and select the apps you want to debloat (more info below).
There will be a progress bar in the middle of the screen. Wait and please do not touch your phone or computer (finishing the process may take longer than other steps, so please be patient).
After it finishes, you will be sent back to the main menu. At this point, all is done.
DEVICES LIST​Native: App list is created and tested with real devices
Compatible: No app list yet, but similar lists from other native phones can be used
Not Supported: This device is detected as Sony, but there is no app list that can be used with it (auto mode not available, use Manual with caution)
Not recognizable: ADB debugging may not be enabled or the device you have plugged in is not a Sony or has been modified. Features are disabled to prevent harm to your device.
​Native Models:​
AU: SOV36, SOV39, SOV40
Docomo: SO-03J
Softbank: N/A
Global: G8341
Compatible Models:​
AU: SOV35, SOV34, SOV33, SOV37, SOV38
Docomo: SO-02J, SO-04J, SO-01J, SO-04H, SO-02K, SO-05K, SO-03K, SO-04K, SO-01L
Softbank: N/A
Global: G8342, H8416, H9493, H9436, J8170, J9110
Community Models:​
Docomo: SO-01K
Differences between modes in Auto.​Operator only:
This will only remove specific apps from specific vendors (Docomo/AU/Softbank) without removing other bloatware.
Operator + third party:
This will do the same as operator only, plus removing generic bloatware (Facebook, antivirus, etc.).
Third party only:
This will only remove generic bloatware without removing vendor apps.
Full Debloat:
This will remove all bloatware, both vendor and generic, and remove all Japanese-specific apps or Sony dead services.
How to Help this software grow:​There are three ways in which you can help this software grow:
The easiest and most effortless way is by upvoting, sharing, liking, or following me on XDA, YouTube, or Instagram. One single like already makes my day!
Using an APK analyzer is another way to help. With this app, you can see package names, which are the most important thing in this software. To do this, download the app, take a screenshot of all the app list on your phone (cropping, removing, or painting over any private apps if you wish), and send it to me (don't forget to include your phone variant, model, and operator).
If you are an advanced user, simply comment with your whole phone's package names that you have dumped with ADB shell.
if you play roblox. i do open donation inside "donate me". and maybe consider pay to add custom feature? or new custom Easter egg?. or if you that damn rich. why dont buy full source code XD
Any help counts, and for the first user who provides package names, their username will be written next to the device model in the Supported model menu.
Next Update:​Next Big version : Currently Slowly Working on it,
Next Update Plan:
Add More devices
Fix window size not correct on low resolution devices -Skipped for next update
Code improvement/optimization - Skipped for next update
Allow unofficial list/Third party to be loaded and run by anyone without update the program
Known bug/issue:​
possible to make program not responding by hotswaping while processing
on some model. sony software update accidentally included as bloatware, where it not suppose to, it most of model are docomo. please be advice if you using modern devices that still get software update to check if you devices effected or not. for end of support devices this does not effect everyday use except setting can crash if some app redirect user to see software update(e.g security update under lock screen and security)
android 7 or lower may have problem keyboard now showing if using replace feature. please try restart your devices and manually change keyboard settings(unfixable)
If you encounter any other bugs, please let me know.

thanks, it is useful but some very few bloatware remain in xz1 s0-01k, how can we add them to the debloat list
Your welcome. Well currently im busy with other project. But If you send the app list from your phone or app name or link to apkmirror if any. I can update it right now and probably available tomorrow. But remember the current list is base from real devices and tested. The app you might want to remove may connected to system or effect stability. If this the case then i am not add that. But still feel free do provided the app list to this post

If you mean selecting something specific or similar, then no, it's not possible yet. However, if you mean uninstall using other similar model then yes. it all app that same as list get uninstall(but not whatever you want though), I am currently working to allow external list / custom list that can be made by anyone for anyone at anytime. whoever due to busy with other thing,due to being busy with other things, the development of this feature has slowed down. Nevertheless, I am already working on it. for now as long it sony,(and not softbank as I don't own it and cannot find a trusted app list for that model) you could try remove it manually via manual mode. it not perfect as same app but on newer phone change slightly the naming. but probaly remove at least 70% of the bloatware, as the hidden one normaly doesn't change the name On the other hand, if you are using SoftBank, unless you send me the app list for SoftBank, there is no list available at all.

Thanks a lot qsnc! Great work
Is it necessary to backup the persist partition like described here: https://community.fxtec.com/topic/3...o-the-pro1pro1x-available-for-download-links/
Or was that only a problem with early Ubuntu Touch releases?

Its always advised to backup whatever we can before tampering with anything.
That put upfront. No, the persist problem is only reported to be UT and SFOS related. Since those write into persist while out of SELinux context. Which can easily be repaired when back on stock and rooted.
I have not tested for lineage but i assume it uses the SELinux correctly just like stock and thus no problem should® appear.
If i am wrong here, the fix for the persist problem is reliable and easy to do. Just go for it imo.
Awesome work, thank you!
I have a Pro 1x, and unfortunately it is completely useless for voice calls on LTE, and very unreliable for voice calls on GSM.
It's a notorious fact that at this point the Pro 1x is really just a small Android tablet with a mechanical keyboard, not really a phone at all.
I understand Fx Tec is working on new firmware to try to address the problem, but nobody knows whether that is actually going to happen, or when.
So my question to all who have flashed this version of LineageOS, are you seeing any better result with voice connections, or is that too much to hope for?
It would be so awesome if the LOS devs have solved what Fx Tec hasn't yet (or can't). Multiple beers/coffees would doubtless be forthcoming to them.
I am glad it's working well for you guys!
Regarding the call problem: could you describe in more detail whats wrong? If it's a hardware or modem firmware issue, there is nothing we can do. There are some things we can try if audio quality isn't good for you though. During development, calls have actually been decent for me, I did have trouble with signal strength (nothing we as LineageOS can do about that, unfortunately).
Lots of discussion on Fx Tec's own forum, it's a known issue for a huge percentage of users since they first shipped in August.
Strangely, some people don't have as much of a problem, and the reason for the difference in user experiences is not clear yet.
So it's interesting @qsnc has not experienced it noticeably. Was that also the case for you on stock Android, or only after you flashed it with LOS? If the latter, then that's really good news...
My experience is that with stock Android on LTE, only maybe 10% of the time can I place an outgoing voice call. There is just a "click" and dead air when I finish dialing. It's a much higher percentage of time that I can place calls when I set the phone to use only GSM, but people calling me on GSM usually get a "This user is not available" message, it doesn't even go to voice mail, and does not ring my phone. That is the message that callers get pretty much every time they call me, if the phone is set to use LTE.
Fx Tec rep @Casey at their forum states that this is known to be a notorious problem, and " it is our top priority issue along with the battery protection":
Pro1x - really poor connectivity to both wifi and cellular.
community.fxtec.com
Voice over WiFi seems to work more reliably, both for receiving and placing voice calls. Not perfect, but more reliably.
On those odd occasions where voice calls do connect, regardless of whether using LTE/GSM/VoWiFI, the volume is almost at 0 unless you trigger the speakerphone, then once so triggered you can go back to the normal microphone and it will usually be broadcasting at normal volume (though not always):
Pro1X: Internal microphone/speaker issues - low gain, sensitive feedback avoidance?
Two Pro1-X issues, possibly related. First, the built-in microphone gain is extremely low. it makes my spouse completely inaudible during calls and only barely audible using a sound recording app. When we attach a wired headset, the microphone gain is fine. Second, and this one is really weird, w...
community.fxtec.com
That sounds like a couple of compounded problems. Honestly, I did not use stock at all except for a quick functionality test.
So the connection problem could be firmware and/or antenna related, I heard some people have problems with signal strength, even on our dev team. Not much we can do about that.
The volume problem most likely is not firmware but OS related, and I have not noticed such an issue on Lineage. Have you? Has someone else?
Of course, only Lineage specific problems can be dealt with here...
I just flashed and tested it. Good news: it flashed perfectly and started right up. Thank you!
Bad news: voice telephony behaves just as bad as stock Android. On LTE, placing a call, it just gives a "call ended" message on the screen, and doesn't even try to connect. Also, it will not receive a call on LTE, it just goes straight to voicemail for the outside caller.
Voice calls will work using GSM, but a bit more flaky than stock Android. The phone will sometimes ring, but there is no way to answer an incoming call. After the caller hangs up, I can see their call on the recents list.
Screen touch is a bit odd w/r/t stock Android, too. Swipe up seems to either lag or not work quite often.
Thanks again for including the 1x as a project, and I hope you stick with it.
Also, hopefully Fx Tec deals with the stuff that is beyond the remit of LOS.

Could you tell us the signal strength reported by the pro1x when you are having trouble with voice calls? You can find this in Settings->About phone->SIM status->Signal strength, and it should be something like "-108 dBm 32 asu" (but hopefully better than that).
I must thank a lot for this release, it improved the user experience compared to 2.1.5 non GMS firmware I was using.
So far I observed two bugs:
- NFC cannot be turned ON.
- screen with pin code in landscape mode is distorted, but pin still can be entered on screen or via hw keyboard
As for LTE (and wifi) connectivity, I do not think lineage can fix this, it is either modem firmware (I hope so) or antenna issue (I am afraid of).
Myself I did some measurement and to me it seems the problem is only on some channels/frequencies. Looking at the details I posted in Fxctec forum:
Channel B1, B9, B20 are quite OK to signal level around -110dBm (B1 was far the best), Channel B3 was a big problem even at -85dBm.
The problem I see is that various people complain about "bad signal on LTE", but are not providing details.
new release is up, thanks for all the feedback! our team is working on an improved keyboard driver with more options coming, stay tuned!
see the first post for download options.
Thank you, NFC now works and actually is able to read the only NFC tag I have (it was broken on 2.1.5 stock)

That's good news. Do you mind specifying what the NFC tag type was? This'll help us debug the stock firmware. Thanks.

It is Mifare Classic. On 2.1.5 I was getting someting like "NFC read error"
thanks for the work!
one question, when keyboard is open and I use arrow keys for navigation - the direction is not right. up/down make left/right movement and vice versa (which kind of makes sense if you place the device vertically )
tried in launcher and terminal.
am I the only one who's experiencing this?
Wow, I am not using cursor keys much, but you are right, same here
But PageUp, PageDown, Home and End seem to work correctly.
and another one for the weekend, guys. see the first post.
we will work on the keyboard once our improved driver is done, which should be soonish.
