I upgraded my phone to 0.14-q the other day. It seems to work. Thank you!
Hello!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
I was so happy to find out, that I could possibly get my sisterās old phone to work.
0.14-q does not work for me.
The phone app crashes, but the call goes out anyway, so I canāt hang up.
I get a pop-up (of the crash) that comes up again and again, even if I dismiss it.
I can only close the popup without it appearing again, if the other person hangs up.
0.13-q seems to work, but:
If the phone is off, I plug in the charger, the battery charging indicator stays red.
I mean, the end of the charge cycle is not shown or heard, only if I push the power button can I see how it is doing.
After fully charging it, when the phone is turned on, I get the green light, while charging.
Something wasnāt quite right with USB file transfer, but it works now with debian 10.
(It wouldnāt connect or the file manager was giving me errors. Just rebooted my PC and itās fine now.)
This is a known bug: issue #2391 affecting several devices, including this one. The easy workaround is to install āSimple Phoneā dialer app from f_Droid, and set is at the default phone app.
I hope the issue gets fixed soon, but I find the phone works fine with āSimple Phoneā installed
Thanks @petefoth for the continual builds!
I upgraded to 0.14-q from 0.11 yesterday, and installed the Dialer app by Tibor Kaputa to workaround the known bug.
One issue I had was that Signal, which I use for SMS, kept crashing after the flash. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, which worked, but I also realized that I had lost all my contacts some time during it all. So just a reminder to backup before you update!
Thereās a new unofficial build available
Changes include
- Android security patch level: 5 February 2021
- An FM radio app has appeared: it seems to run, but I canāt hear anything
I have flashed it and tested it a bit:
- it makes and receives calls with the Simple Dialer app - the built-in āPhoneā dailer crashes. This is a known bug #2391
- it sends and receives SMS and email.
But please use at your own risk, as always!
No more unofficial builds for this deviceā¦
ā¦ because it is now officially supported.
e-0.15-q build, along with installation instructions is available here
Belated acknowledgement, which applies to all of the unofficial ROMs posted by me in this thread:
/e/ OS on the Xperia Z5 Compact is based on the unofficial LineageOS 17.1 ROM made by Bernhard Thoben (Professor-Berni
on github)
Edit: And now the Android 11 / R build is official. The most recent version at the moment is v-0.19-r
, but v0.20-r
should be available this week

There is now an unofficial Android 11 / R build for suzuran: see this post
I have just made an up-to-date unofficial LineageOS for Microg build for suzuran. Available in this folder on AndroidFileHost
If you are clean flashing, checkout the Post-install section of the LineageOS for Microg front page
This build should dirty flash OK over earlier versions, but I have no idea what will happen if you dirty flash over an /e/OS installation
