Unofficial builds for Sony Xperia devices

Thank you so much Pete!
I still hope my little lilac(s) get new versions eventually…
And will you redo the build for the xz3tc as well? Its not mentioned above…
In the los4microg directory its already there, thank you!

Sorry no. Nor the z3 or z3c. These devices are ‘stuck’ on lineageos-18.1 and they are 32-bit devices. It may be possible to build IodéOS for 18.1 devices, but not 32-bit devices: some of the pre-built IodéOS apps have only 64-bit versions, and including them in a build for 32-bit devices will cause the device to either not boot at all or to fail in interesting and surprising ways.

So if you want to keep using any of the Z3 family devices, then the latest LineageOS for microG builds are likely to be the best that you can get.

You already did a Iode build for the z3tc Pete, I run it happily on 2 of these devices! :star_struck:

I can also send it to you if you want :innocent:

I know. And I remember the problems I had (and the hours I spent) trying to work out why it would not boot. In the end, Vincent made one-off builds of 32-bit versions of the Iodé components that existed at the time, allowing me to make builds for these devices that did boot and run. That won’t happen again, so there won;t be new builds for these device

Update via sideload worked fine on xz2c. Nice to have OTA updates in future. Thanks @petefoth and @rik !

Will there be an unofficial build for pioneer or is there an old one somewhere?
Thanks for all the efforts made here!

There’s always the ‘Official’ Pioneer build (currently v7.1), if you can’t find an old one MaxO. Not sure I see the point.

Thank you, I am awrare of the official build.
And sometime there is an inofficial also. I just found to have reason to find unoffcial builds (and thats adb root).

No, because I don’t normally make unofficial builds for devices which are officially supported by IodéOS. The exception is Xperia XZ1 (`poplar’ and ‘poplar_dsds’) and I build for that device because a: the official IodéOS build is stuck at v4 (Lineage 20 / Android 13) but my builds for the Yoshino` family devices are v5 (Lineage 21 / Android 14) and b: IodéOS supports only the single-SIM version, whereas I also build for the dual-SIM version.

I don’t want to start making unofficial builds that are ‘in competition’ with official builds. If you really want an unofficial build for an officially supported device, it is quite straightforward to build using the los4microG CI/CD docker image (it has a pf-build-iode branch which is what @rik and I use to make our unofficial builds).
