I am not experienced with microG, but I am trying to gain some knowledge about it. Having admitted that sorry if this question is unnecessesary, but maybe an answer is possible nevertheless. My understanding is that microG requires a framework hack to work. I did not add that. Additionally, modifying /system to add the microG files will break verity so that would also need to be disabled. There may be more issues but those are the ones that come immediately to mind. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cinaeco 10 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I've just tried to install this, and was wondering, is there no default dialer/phone application, or did I do something wrong? If there is none, does anyone know one that integrates with the built-in Contacts app? I have tried a couple of them from F-Droid, but none seem to work with trying to call people from Contacts - the call would just happen in the background, with no way to hang up except to switch off the phone. Setting the dialer as the default application from settings doesn't seem to make it work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tdm 2,322 Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hmm, there should be one. I'll take a look after Lineage is stable. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cinaeco 10 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Hmm... well, maybe I did something wrong if only I have had issue with this. Shall reflash the phone anyway. Thanks again for all your hard work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skrilax 5 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Just for me to understand: this rom contains all the physical keyboard / launcher tweaks that can be found on stock ROM? And is this an userdebug build? Also, why can't you just do this "fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_a vbmeta.img" to disable verity and then install gapps (feels like that from OP). And speaking of disabled secure boot - is there a way to boot the device into PBL without having to disassemble it (i.e. when people are repartitioning etc.)? EDIT: Yeah I see the filename, it's user build. Edited January 30, 2020 by skrilax Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's just easier to start off userdebug build for people who'd want to play with the stock firmware for the moment (i.e. want to disable verity etc.). Things like "adb root" with proper selinux policy etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it were, anyone could do the same and it would defeat the purpose of verification. Only the OEM has the signing key and only the OEM can create signed images to pass verified boot. To my great surprise, I have to object here. I just re-locked the bootloader after flashing a self-singed LineageOS build, and it still boots. I even disabled OEM unlock... I don't really know whats happening here. This does not sound like what the android documentation says, and also not how other bootloaders behave. But I have a re-locked bootloader now that boots my LineageOS... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's because secure boot is not enabled on the device and the device behaves like a prototype. Usually that means that PBL will accept XBL signed also by a dev-key (or not at all) and XBL and onward stages will check if secure boot is enabled and won't bother checking for valid signatures any further. This is the usual behaviour for many other phones when they don't have secure boot enabled (are prototypes). I actually wonder if secure boot is disabled also on baseband. If that's the case that might pave a way to get the device working with Verizon. Edited January 31, 2020 by skrilax 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gigadoc2 54 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Thats... actually somewhat awesome. I mean, enrolling my own key would be better, but this way, I can prevent an "quick reflash" evil maid attack while still being able to run custom roms. Although, someone might still reflash via EDL without wiping data, defeating that. And, I don't know whether I want to risk not being able to fastboot flash anymore without wiping data first^^ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skrilax 5 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 @tdm can you actually compile ABL? Perhaps a good idea would be to enable "fastboot boot" command. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately I haven't been able to build abl yet. I know it's possible, as an fxtec developer said he was able to build it. He was using a different like Linux distro than me, which may be the issue. One of these days after lineage and the factory restore tool are both humming along without issues I'll try again. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
