Here’s a new build based on the v0.13-nougat tag. It’s untested - I haven’t even flashed it on a device yet. As always, use at your own risk
Note that the version of microG installed does not include the Exposure Notifications API. The Exposure Notifications API can be installed from ‘Apps’, as described in this post

I just flashed it and booted it without any problem.

A quick 10-minutes test found no issue whatsever, though I only connected to wifi, installed an app with F-Droid, quickly checked microG settings and weather app, and that’s all.

Thanks @petefoth ! :wink:

I’ve dirty flashed it over the previous 0.13 version just now. I’ve had to reinstall Magisk but YMMV.

Wifi works, USB thethering works, microG seems okay… Once again, good job @petefoth and thank you ! :smiley:

FYI, my Xperia M’s SIM reader is damaged, so I cannot test calls/SMS/mobile data/etc.

Unsurprisingly, dirty flashing this version went without any problem whatsoever. :slight_smile:
It did feel slow but I guess it’s because I’m used to faster devices.

Good work (as usual) @petefoth ! :+1:

@petefoth
Hello Pete, are you gonna build an update for this device ? I’m going to sell mine very soon and would like my buyer to be able to experience the latest /e/ OS version available. :slight_smile:

Hi. My usual tactic is to make unofficial builds for these Sony devices sometime after the official builds are tested and released. Currently the v0.17 release is undergoing testing, but there are some problems so it may be a little while before that happens. Until then v0.16 is the latest available

The functionality to enable Exposure Notifications in MicroG does not work. If you want / need to enable this, then please install this .apk file https://ecloud.global/s/WGf4kCnnSeaKixT
