Possible Solution

unsure, but non-aosp-specific common sense hints that missing hal impls should probably at least be stubbed

Steps to Reproduce

n/a (or: just install lineageos on retail xq-ct54 as outlined in the pdx223 guide)

Confirmation

• I have read the directions at https://wiki.lineageos.org/how-to/bugreport

are you sure your fp sensor is not broken? this is a common issue when fingerprint HAL is just crashing on start due to hardware issue, see adb logcat | grep "F DEBUG".

[I-asked]

retail firmware did not complain and everything fingerprint-related worked there; the logs seem (I'm transferring broader linux logic onto aosp, so I could be wrong) to indicate init can't find a suitable binary to execute, there are no crash dumps.

adb logcat |grep 'F DEBUG' filters out all log entries

reboot your phone and start logging during startup.

[I-asked]

I ran adb wait-for-device && echo 'device present' && adb logcat |grep 'F DEBUG', rebooted the phone, plugged it in once sony boot logo appears (since the phone's usb controller seems to not pick up connected devices after power cycle), but still, nothing applicable shows up.

sigh, I think I know what's the issue, I'll have the maintainer do something.

is the issue perchance missing fingerprint hal…?

[luk1337]

is the issue perchance missing fingerprint hal…?

actually no, i thought it was unlabeled...

can you:

adb root
adb shell ls -laZ /vendor/bin/hw/android.hardware.biometrics.fingerprint@2.1-service-rbs
adb shell ps -A | grep fingerprint

[I-asked]

% ls -alZ /vendor/bin/hw/android.hardware.biometrics.fingerprint@2.1-service-rbs
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root shell u:object_r:hal_fingerprint_default_exec:s0  64328 2009-01-01 01:00 /vendor/bin/hw/android.hardware.biometrics.fingerprint@2.1-service-rbs
% ps -A |grep fingerprint
system        2061     1   10818992   8908 binder_thread_read  0 S android.hardware.biometrics.fingerprint@2.1-service-rbs

Seems as labeled as its surroundings

[luk1337]

can you kill it and do logcat --pid= for its next pid?

[log1cs]

Based on the log I can say your FP sensor is failing (it's fine for me). When was the last time you tried stock firmware?
