Sony Nagara (Xperia 1IV and 5IV) port

No, I have not used any backups, literally everything was either set up from scratch, or manually imported from .vcf (contacts), .ics (calendar), and so on. I did not restore any data in the browser, either, and the issue with it was there right from the beginning (browser was the very first thing I’ve checked and the first keyword I typed already didn’t work).

Yes, that’s probably the best thing to do. Especially that now I also have a problem with icons of Android apps not getting - something got broken when I tried to manually update AAS on the 1 IV to the latest version by reinstalling the changed packages (only a handful of them were changed) taken from the 10 V. Strangely, the very same problem appeared on the 10 V itself, where the update was normally applied (GUI OTA).

I’ll start from scratch and see if it fixes the browser issue. What is the best way to do it? Reflash Lineage recovery, from there format the partition, upload and unpack the SFOS archive once again, reflash SFOS boot? Is it better to use version .68 of SFOS image and then update the system to .71, or go the .71 (testing) image directly?

Well, I’m sure that it’s correct, and I am not complaining. It’s just too huge for my liking, so I am trying to find an (easy) was to make it smaller a bit. I would very much like the UI to retain the same proportions of its elements and the same amount of data as on other models (where IMO it is optimal), especially that the bigger display itself already makes things bigger, so it doesn’t really need to be additionally boosted even more.

I guess that the above screenshots speak for themselves - see how only 6 contacts fit on the list on 1 IV screen vs. 12 contacts on 10 III display. It is twice less. Same for thumbnails - those on 1 IV screen are literally 4 times bigger. Is there a logical explanation for this? I mean, even if the formula and the resulting value is correct per se, does it really give desired effect? If not, is there any way to modify it on a live system rather than when building it?

Thank you very much for all the information and help, and kudos to you for your great work!
