The whole UI is so gaudy: the icons, the animations. The large UI widgets that are everywhere resemble a UI I'd build (with all due to respect) for an elderly person with a hindered eyesight. This reminds my why I hate Android. On a proper Linux distro, I'd just install a different DE of my choice. I have not tried Android 12, but my guess would be that the UI changes stem from Google not LineageOs as such. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I guess so. I have more fundamental issues than the broken UI after the upgrade. After the reboot, only my secondary SIM is detected. I need to reinsert the SIM tray so that both SIM cards are detected. Moreover, after I boot the device, there is no information It looks like the system configuration is not properly picked up by the new release. The large UI was due to the system picking some absurd font size. My home screen configuration (widgets and shortcuts) were gone. /edit: clearing the data for phone seems to fix the data issue at the very least - but given the number of quirks I think I'll need to do a full wipe sooner or later anyway Edited May 26, 2022 by marmistrz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hook 2,907 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I understand that it is a PITA, but going to a new major version of any ROM with a dirty flash is likely to end badly. Likely enough that I prefer rebuilding from a fresh install. Then again, I'm retired so I can easily spend a few hours rebuilding. 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And for my case I think the mess I had was due to changing from OpenGapps to MindTheGapps simultaneously. Had I reflashed latest 18.1 with MindTheGapps before the upgrade to 19, it might have worked smoothly. (OpenGapps is not yet available for Android 12 / hence I was forced to do the swap. I Prefer OpenGapps, as they have lesser packages than MindTheGapps, as I mapped out extending the OpenGapps compare schema last year) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Opengapps have weird bugs and crashes at least on LOS17 and 18 they even say it on their download page that it is not stable yet. I had so many wierd problems, some apps suddenly not getting any network even i had connection on other apps. All went away when i finally changed to MTG as Lineage suggests. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rob. S. 1,634 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Perhaps also of some interest here, LineageOS hast just been announced to be "stable and ready to ship in around 1 month" by Fxtec for the Pro1X, too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,399 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Just tried to redo the lineage-19.1-20220606-nightly-pro1-signed.zip using adb sideload and NikGapps-core-arm64-12-20220421-signed.zip To get rid of some of all the junk from the MindTheGapps package - (OpenGapps still does not support 12(.1) at all) It got 'stuck', never going past the initial animated logo. New reboots and patience did not help. Note that I did NOT do a factory reset at first attempt. It did load enough to support adb though so did aadb reboot bootloader Selected "Recovery mode" and there "Factory reset" and reboot. It worked in principle. (But still with some silly choices like calendar sync in the core?) And you need one of the huge packages to be allowed to restore your apps from another device saved to Google. It could be argued that if you want the minimal experience, you are likely to use a different way of storing your apps. But I doubt that would work without the device being rooted... So I tried withFlameGApps-12.1-basic-arm64-20220524.zip This did not work at all (installation aborts as wrong version). So reverted to the huge MindTheGapps, (with yet another wipe all) So things are working again... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kaali 76 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 MtG isn't even that huge, and it just works. I used NikGapps with LOS18.1 when it first came out and there was no opengapps yet, it gave me all kinds of problems with apps and bugs and crashes. Then changed to opengapps when it was available just to see that all the same bugs were there too. Finally when i talked to someone with OP5 with lineage (has the same chipset) had all the same bugs than i, asked what gapps package he using, turns out the problem was opengapps. Then we both changed to MtG and all the crashing and errors are gone. I guess there is a reason lineage lists it as the only option for gapps. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mindthegapps on 19.1 has a /system/addon.d/30-gapps.sh of 2.2Kb size that looks quite different from the similar 70-gapps.sh I see on AICP with OpenGapps (10.8K) Here collage of the interesting parts (in above order) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hook 2,907 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Got my Pro1 back from repair and decided to start out with Lineage 19 as described above by Eske (I flashed the 20220613 recovery image... probably could have used the Lineage 18 recovery which also worked for AICP, but I wanted a fresh start). I also wanted to note that I was able to sideload version 25 of Magisk as a zip (depreciated install technique) in order to get SU, which ios all I use Magisk for. I had to open the Magisk Manager app to finish install, which was painless, but I think might be new. I don't remember having to do that before just for SU. Took me 30 minutes (and then a couple of hours of restoring my apps and data) Everything running smoothly, but still getting used to Android 12. Oh my gosh, is it wonderful having my Pro1 back, and just in time to save me from lugging a laptop on a week-long trip to Colorado. 👍 😎 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DieBruine 397 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Running lineage-19.1-20220620-nightly-pro1-signed.zip since Tuesday, clean install. So far no major problems apart from the occasional app not responding. But there is one annoying issue. My phone won't charge without rebooting! I've tried several chargers and even more cables. Without a reboot, it won't charge. Strange behaviour. Unfortunately I won't be home for another week, so I won't be able to test it with the original charger. But the charger I have tested with were all quality chargers and QC-certified. So, if anyone is experiencing the same issue, let me know. I received my phone back on Tuesday. I don't know if this is related to LoS, or to the hardware. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is a known issue, though I think most of the discussion has taken place in the Lineage 18.1 thread and in the Lineage room on the unofficial FxTec Discord. No one seems to have quite figured out what brings this one in terms of reliable steps to recreate. I certainly haven't, though it does happen to me, just not often and not predictably. Then again, I haven't kept up with all the postings, maybe others know more. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then again, I haven't kept up with all the postings, maybe others know more. I have tried rigoursly to find a stable way to trigger it, without any luck. The bug is common for Lineage 18 and 19 as well as AICP R Unfortunately we do not have an Android 11 for the Pro1, so we can not tell if the bug is in Lineage or deeper. When the bug kicks in, the phone DO draw power from the charger, but only to sustain what ever the phone is doing, not to charge it, so the battery percentage remains at a (roughly) constant level for hours. There seem to be some system to prevent over-charging a constantly connected phone, my personal theory is that it is this system, that is erroneously allowed to kick in way to early. I have seen the phenomena below 20%... (we have had discussion on this bug earlier in this thread - starting at page 1.....) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marmistrz 93 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I did a full reflash and I still have trouble with dual SIM. Only one of my SIM is detected by the device after reboot. If I reinsert the SIM tray while the device is running, both cards are detected properly and displayed in the UI. This means that the secondary SIM is always used for mobile data, etc. What's even more interesting, I can receive the calls from the non-detected SIM. Does anyone still have the image lineage-18.1-20220425-nightly-pro1-signed.zip? Dual SIM is currently crucial for me and 19.1 is broken in this aspect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ouch, then I should not update to LOS19.1 either... however, I wanted to do it in the near future. Dual SIM support is also mandatory for me - I hope it will be corrected soon... Anyway, I have the latest official LOS18.1 image you wrote above. I am going to upload it and write you a PM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Currently I don't have LineageOS 19.1 installed but have you tested it using a media playback? If you only tried handsfree mode then it is normal that only right speaker is active, however, the basic concept is wrong as it should be the left one (not LOS-related but kernel BLOB-related)...

I can confirm, only the speaker near the usb-plug is active with LOS 19 on the Pro1. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
