Rud 123 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Does the latest version of lineage have a Dex like function when connected to a monitor (I mean separate desktop mode) and can you make the settings and notifications dark too? Those would be the only reasons I would like to try it for. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As I wrote several times in this thread, I believe that having AGPS disabled is actually a sane default. Some might choose LineageOS specifically for privacy reasons, so I think it is better to have AGPS as an opt-in feature, even if that means one needs to root-edit the system config. Of course, best would be having the option user-configurable in the phone settings, but I do not know if that is (easily) possible. That said, @marmistrz intended to submit a patch (to LOS 18.1, I think). Do not know if it happened. The patch was submitted here. https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_fxtec_pro1/+/308056 As I said, feel free to submit an issue to https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android and request a user-configurable option. At this moment I'm unsure how they want device-independent bugs to be reported and I'm quite busy these days. Edited April 27, 2021 by marmistrz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like I do not care enough about LineageOS to do that work. I'll keep camping on my rooted LOS 16 for the foreseeable future anyway. Should I ever need to reinstall my system, I'll probably try to switch to SFOS (or UT if that has matured by then), as, honestly, I'm getting a bit tired of Android ... Sorry.

JordanKirsch83 8 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) Can someone help me. I'm desperate. So I updated to latest nightly build through the built in updater. Then attempted to flash the patched boot image and it failed. Now I can boot into lineage recovery and lineage will boot up but my fastboot appears to be messed up as I can't run any fastboot commands. When I type fastboot devices it shows ?????? Then kicks me out of fastboot. Same goes with all fastboot commands. Now I'm stuck. This is the same pc and fastboot as well as the same cord that I used to flash boot images before so I know it's not outdated fastboot drivers or faulty cord. Can someone please help me either figure out how to fix fastboot or restore device back to stock. I am not comfortable with edl without someone capable of helping ne walk through it. I'm stuck. I also am not comfortable taking my device apart using TDM's method to restore stock given there appears no other way to restore or get into EDL mode. I asked on discord and no one was able to help.

I unfortunately do not have any miracle solution. BUT as something went wrong with a flashing I would still suspect the connection. double check that no 'pocket lint' have sneaked in, for all connections, and possibly try a different cord, port or PC. If you do have access to alternatives, try connecting any different USB-C phone, and try to transfer a large amount of data (e.g. images & videos) in both directions and double check that they transferred correctly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you are trying to use Magisk to get root in Lineage, you don't need to do that dance with patching the bootloader. Just use adb sideload to flash the Magisk zip from HERE and you will have root, no muss no fuss. (I'm still using an old one, 21.0) I never even open Magisk Manager, although the zip installs it. I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on with fastboot. I assume you are booted into the bootloader, not recovery, when you are doing that (I'm not trying to be insulting by pointing to the obvious-- when I get frantic I can miss incredibly obvious things and am happy when people point them out).

That's what installing Gapps does for you. It is the actual Google Play framework and some of the Google Apps, from Google, which is why it is a separate install.

You can (inside the Android market app) select to have apps - including their own ones - autoupdated. And you actually need to remember to explicitly turn this OFF if you do not want them to constantly wasting battery and bandwidth for checking for new versions. Just like on stock. (Note that they choose to ignore your selection, turning it back on, when you install on a new device with same G-account BTW) 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think you got the wrong impression from my talking about using a newer Gapps package. There's no compelling reason to do so. Sometimes, if the play services have been updated, it can mean less ota updating when you first install, but really, I could use the same MindTheGapps package for as long as I'm using Lineage 18,x (until Lineage releases version 19/Android 12) and it wouldn't make a difference. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but that's my understanding. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dextersgenius 1 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Hi all, has anyone managed to successfully migrate from the Stock ROM to the latest LOS build? I'm following the instructions on the LineageOS wiki but not having any luck with getting the LOS recovery to boot or flash to my device. Device is unlocked - Device State shows as unlocked on the bootloader, and so does the OEM Unlock Settings in Android. When I try to flash or boot into LineageOS recovery ( lineage-18.1-20210503-recovery-pro1.img ) using fastboot (v31.0.2 on Arch Linux. running as root), nothing happens - if I try to flash the image, it just hangs on the terminal with no response, and there's no activity on the phone either. The phone is stil responsive though and if I restart the bootloader from the phone, the terminal goes back to normal and I get back my prompt. If I run "fastboot boot", it gets stuck on "Sending 'boot.img' (65536 KB) " and nothing happens. "fastboot devices" does detect the device, and other fastboot/adb commands work as well (eg: reboot). So not sure what's wrong. Is there any other recovery that I could try? Do I need to be on some specific firmware/bootloader version before I can flash/boot LineageOS recovery? If I reboot the device from fastboot during the stuck state, I got an error back on the terminal saying: fastboot: error: boot partition is smaller than boot image I've verified that the sha256sum matches as well: cc14ae7d8678af03c48180e6b18e52584b6a3451d7257ed3ad3885cef3ffb360 I've also tried the LOS 17.1 recovery - lineage-17.1-20210329-recovery-pro1.img but I can't get it to boot either. Also tried changing USB cables and ports, and rebooting my laptop, no dice. I'm kinda lost at this stage - anyone have any ideas how to proceed further? Thanks!

Try using a PC that has a USB 2.0 Port. Flashing with a USB 3.0 Port seems to have problems and can either 1. Mess up or fail or 2. Won't work at all. Also buy a new USB C cable as well. The USB C cables tend to be more fragile than the standard micro USB cables. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Having up-to-date security patches, a more stable version of Android, having just the Gapps you prefer and not all installed as system apps are also reasons. 😉 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
