Unofficial build for Sony Xperia ZX1 Compact (lilac)

Do you know if the proximity sensor and captive portal detection issues also occur in the recent 21.0 builds of LineageOS and / or LineageOS for microG?

I’m afraid I’m not able to triage, investigate or fix these issues, as I no longer have access to an XZ1C running IodéOS. (Also, lots happening in LOS for microG project just now, which is taking u mots of my time.)

Both things work fine for me with IodeOS 5.x. Maybe the proximity sensor is not calibrated? Try deleting cache / dalvik cache . In worst case, flash latest Sony Rom with newflasher and try the Hardware test there.

Captive portal works for me. You need to activate Settings → Network → Connectivity Check

@petefoth Thanks for the statement regarding the Sony camera app. unfortunately, I understand too little from ROM making to put this into LineageOS 21 / IodeOS. But maybe if it is more advanced some one on XDA will manage this. :slight_smile:

Regarding the backup / restore with TWRP: I’ll simply try and report here. :wink:

I managed to solve the sensor problem. All I needed was an app from F-droid called Fossify Phone. As for the captive portal, I had this option turned off and on, and it still didn’t work, but I’m not going to worry about that.

Thanks for the new update.

Everything works fine ! Thanks a lot

Hi all. Can it be that https://download.lineage.microg.org/IodeOS was removed?
I wanted to check the new update Xyguma mentioned, but the page doesn’t load. :worried:

The root page https://download.lineage.microg.org/ works so I suppose the server is not down?

No the server is running, but it won’t be serving any content until we have completed some necessary maintenance. I can’t give an ETA for that: it will tae as long as it takes. But I will be very disappointed if we haven’t started serving at least some content by the end of the weekend

Happy New Year, all.

Will we find the iodeOS files under ‘https://download.lineage.microg.org/IodeOS/lilac/’ again? As you’re setting up the server anew alphabetically, I suppose iode will come after the regular Lineage/MicroG ROMs?

Yes. The LineageOS for microG builds are the priority at the moment. I won’t be making any new IodéOS builds until all of those are done, which will be a while I’m afraid.

If you need access to the most recent build for lilac (lineage-21.0-20251116-UNOFFICIAL-lilac), then it is currently available from my Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tzddhIctDjh2jY6hRH3QXbJlMhUnL6T7/view?usp=drive_link

Thank you, but I can wait. It takes as long as it takes. So you will load up only new iode builds? I guess for security reasons.

Yes. Although we (the los4microG project maintainers) are convinced that no compromised builds were uploaded to the download server, we cannot guarantee it, so we will only upload new builds signed with the new keys.

When it comes to the Iodé build for lilac, I know it is not compromised: the build on the server is bit-for-bit the same as the build I downloaded to my computer as soon as it was made. So it can be used with no risk

@rik Please will you move this post to a new thread? This one is really just to keep people informed of when new builds occur

First of all, I am sorry with the struggles you had with your server and the build keys. But I also like how you transparently described everything in your lso4mocroG wiki.

I’m still on version iodeos 5.17-202510006-lilac and I think I’ll wait until the builds are on the los4microG server again. Do I understand properly that once a new build is made dirtyflash is not possible and we rather need to backup everything with the Android Backup Project and then make a clean flash of the iodeos build with the new signing keys and restore the apps and settings with Android Backup Project? Or is the dirtyflash still possible by selecting “install anyway - yes” in the recovery?

By the way: is there any way to give donations to your project / servers? Thank you for keeping devices such as our nice XZ1C alive also in 2026!

Dirty flash as you have described should be fine

My standard response when donations are mentioned:

No thank you. I do this for fun, in my spare time when I’m not playing golf. I don’t want or need payment :slight_smile:

If you really want to express your appreciation with money, then please donate something to a charity local to you

And our servers are paid for by our generous sponsors, SysEleven.de
