Lineage OS

ive tried EVERYTHING, and i mean EVERYTHING (except a full on reinstall). It started happening around the sep 2 update and its still not fixed to this day. Im using a nothing phone 1 and my familys provider is telia just so you know

if you need any more info then PLEASE say so

thank guy

I don't know if this is a Lineage thing or an upstream thing, but pretty neat nonetheless

saw an issue on their github so it could be a bug but im not sure

ive tried unrooting/uninstalling magisk, rebooting my phone a billion times, putting the sim in another phone (it seemed to work there, so its not the sim), put the sim back in, EVERYTHING basically

any help??

for example: the dialer, file manager, messenger/sms etc.

when im on my home wifi its fine and before mobile data and everything worked, but a few days after I rooted my phone (aka today) it just stopped working. When I connect to anything but my family members hotspot (yes that includes mobile data) it has an exclamation mark next to the icon and my vpn doesn't want to connect cause I have no internet

what I have tried:

rebooted a lot of times

reinstalled my lineageOS version (from the updates page in settings)

changed APN

disabled my vpn and dns

tried in safe mode but I couldn't even unlock my phone

checked for any apps that might block the connection (I have none as far as i know)

im using a nothing phone 1 and LineageOS 23.2 sep 2 btw

I have no idea what I have done wrong

EDIT: I connected to our modem thing (which didn't work before) and now it works!!!!! I still have no internet if im not connected to wifi though

Recently bought a phone specifically for the purpose of using it with lineage os. It was somewhat cheap and had a headphone jack so I was pretty excited but I am stuck. OEM unlocking is already toggled. Fastboot does recognize the device, but fastboot oem get_unlock_data fails. Used the debian versions of fastboot and adb and the latest ones downloaded online, neither changes anything.

cid: 0x0000

ro.carrier: unknown

Any thoughts?

Acabo de instalar #LineageOS en mi #Alexa Echo Show 5 de 2ª generacion. En busca de liberar el dispositivo y dejar de usar servicios de Amazon.

Ahora lo tengo ROOT y con recovery TWRP.

He perdido, de momento la función de voz pero tampoco me importa mucho. Lo usaran los niños para poner musica, me dará la hora y el tiempo y poco a poco iré explorando que posibilidades tiene.

De momento me quedo con la buena sensación de haberlo conseguido y me evito tener que venderlo por falta de uso.

**EDIT 2 AKA SOLVED: i changed my installation method from session to shizuku in the aurora settings, then i reinstalled the app and it works ** ~~EDIT: it seems like i needed to enable the play store, and when i did the message wasn't there but it instead opened the play store and asked me to log in, which i won't do cause i use aurora store~~

~~so i downloaded this app (link somewhere here) from the play store and it needs play services, and luckily enough i have it enabled with some permissions. BUT when i open it and wait like 2 seconds a message pops up that says "Check that Google Play is enabled on your device and that you're using an up-to-date version before opening the app. If the problem persists try reinstalling the app."~~

help plz

i think i want to root my nothing phone 1 and i looked briefly online but idrk what sources/tutorials are good, so can you guys link me some? thanks

videos from just late last year won't play and i don't know why

i recently switched phones from an s21 to a nothing phone 1 but it feels like that shouldn't make a difference since the videos that don't work are way way way before i switched phones

ive tried the default gallery app, fossify gallery and ente photos which technically worked but the video was really laggy and low fps

any ideas????

i like google pay but it doesnt work on lineage and google sucks anyway so the two alts i found were walt and curve

walt isnt fully released yet, so its hard to know if its good

im in sweden just so you know

im in sweden so it should work pretty much when it comes out

i read a little about komi store in the opensource community, and it seems like people dont like it? Is it unsafe or something?

is aurora store good? i dont wanna use a google account

how do i get the recording light on the nothing phone 1 to work? Maybe an app or something?

i installed lineage on my nothing phone 1, and when i got to the part where you install play services i didn't remember if the apps i use needed play services or not, or if i could install it later. so i installed it, but now im starting to wonder if that was a mistake and if i can do something about it? i honestly barely know anything 🥀

Hello guys,

i just wonder if it's possible to change system font in Lineageos. I'm on Oneplus 13 with Los 23.2

LineageOS around the world

I have tried every fix out there for making sure my notification sounds are on and are meant to be playing. My volume is up, all related settings have been toggled, ect. The only culprit I have left is either lineage, or Google messenger, and this problem is persisting across multiple apps.

Basically I don't get any notification sounds, they can't be heard when "preveiwing them" in the sound selector either. Both alarm sounds and phone ringer sounds play, but not notifications.

I have a feeling out of the three, (STREAM_RING, STREAM_ALARM, STREAM_NOTIFICATION)

Something is causing a failure to call STREAM_NOTIFICATIONS

This is really annoying, has anyone had a similar situation?

Super new to lineage, just successfully installed on an old Samsung tablet!

If I click a link to a pdf file in the browser, the pdf is downloaded and I have to select it to view it. I need pdfs to be displayed inside the browser directly. Is this possible with the buildin browser and how? And if not which browser would you recommend for this?

NB: no google play, so things have to be side loaded, if that matters to my question.

Updates at bottom

I am Total Newb using Linux Mint, the Official Linage OS instructions here only specify how to do it on Windows.

Ok, I say newb I REALLY mean newb, I only started using Linux Mint 6 months ago, I never used Terminal ever before then, on Windows or otherwise, and have only used it lightly since I started installing Lineage on devices 3 months ago following guides to the letter. The Lineage guides are VERY firm about following them exactly, so I trying my best with my limited skill.

I have added solutions to the issues as I fumble my way through.

This is NOT A GUIDE for Beginners (or anyone)!! Follow this and you are taking a risk with your device and install. This is my own learning process as a Beginner myself.

A great big Thank you for everyone who are helping me out, and to the Lineage developers for making a really good OS. (though I would LOVE a linux guide to the Tab S7 install, just saying.)

Issue 1. Solved.

While I have installed Lineage on a Tab S6 lite (as the guide includes Linux instructions) I hit my first roadblock with the Tab S7 install right out of the gate with the instruction to TAR the vbmeta.img file. This includes some pretty commom knowledge Terminal commands which I didn't know.

Steps 3 + 4 found here

3. Download vbmeta.img from here.
4. Open a Command Prompt in the folder where the file was downloaded and TAR the file by running tar --format=ustar -cvf vbmeta.tar vbmeta.img

I was getting an error in my terminal.

tar: vbmeta.img: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

I didn't how to put the command and the file together

Solution 1:

The file (vbmeta.img) I wanted to TAR is in my Downloads folder

This command in terminal puts you there.

$ cd Downloads

Now I'm hanging out in Downloads I can run the command I got from the instructions.

/Downloads$ tar --format=ustar -cvf vbmeta.tar vbmeta.img

This was my output vbmeta.img

And viola! Checked Downloads folder and there it was, vbmeta.tar.

Issue 2. Solved.

Downloading Samsung drivers

The instructions state:

6. Download and install the necessary drivers. Download the newest Samsung drivers from here. Install SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe.

It states on the linked page, the following:

"You need the driver only if you are developing on Windows and want to connect a Samsung Android device to your development environment over USB. "

Solution 2:

I felt I was safe to skip this step as I am not using Windows.

Issue 3. I am currently still working on this, if you fancy helping please start reply with "Issue 3"

Odin vs Heimdall

So instructions call for Odin, which is for Windows, it's Linux counterpart is Heimdall, which I got via the software manager on Mint.

Ok, no trouble, I'm wondering if I can use the instructions from the Tab S6 page to try and flash the VBMeta Image??

Solution 3:

So I discovered that Issue 1 (to TAR the vbmeta.img file) may have been totally unnecessary to do on Linux.

In this article (scrolling down to Using Heimdall in place of Odin section) it states that Odin wants a TAR file with the .img inside it. For example, we have to create vbmeta.tar which contains vbmeta.img.

However, Heimdall takes the image file directly e.g. vbmeta.img

And since I am using Heimdall and want to flash the vbmeta.img, I can use this command.

heimdall flash --VBMETA vbmeta.img

I still have more research to do but I feel like I am getting somewhere...

Update: I just rewrote the instructions...A Lineage Developer over on Reddit confirmed this SHOULD work, but I will not be held responsible for whether it will work for you. It worked for me.

Which tablet is the best to start with LineageOS?

And is there list of brands which keep bootloader unlockable. With intention to install custom ROM at EOL?

Probably best option is pixel tablet?

Cross-posted from Degoogle, this is my update from the original post looking for hardware advice, now I need some software advice.

I got my mitts on a used Raspberry Pi 4, I installed Lineage OS on the lil guy to do an Android TV thing (via Konstakangs build.)

However, while I had success getting the OS on there, after many dumb little issues that I caused through ignorance or accident, the guides I followed for installation all focus on putting Google apps on there. (I hope to avoid Google altogether)

This is the guide I used the most.

~~Now I am a little stuck on my next step.~~ The only apps I have on the box are settings and a file manager.

How can I get, say, the Aurora app store or AFTVnews downloader on the device? Goal being, I want 2 apps, Plex and Smarttube.

I use lineage on my phone and tablet and that's easy as they have browsers and I can alternately do it through ADB on my Laptop.

One can get the APKs for these, but I have no idea how to apply them to the Raspberry Pi.

Other future issues are, a usable remote (I have an old amazon firestick remote) ~~and the screen is a little cut off at the edges, my tv is so old it doesn't have any overscan options in settings. Plugging the laptop (Linux Mint) into an HDMI to the TV does this also. Didn't do that when I used Windows so that's a tomorrow problem I guess.~~

UPDATE 1:

Well, that was easier than I thought! Turns out ADB can connect to your pi via the simple method of finding the IP address of your Android TV (Settings - System - Network) Then on your PC in the terminal, run adb connect And you can install your APKs from there. This guide has all the details.

UPDATE 2:

Ok, fixed the Overscan issue on my 20 year old Sony Bravia. In system settings (OS, not TV) I set the resolution to 1360x768 rather than 1920x1080 and rebooted. ALWAYS reboot after changing something, didn't think I needed to, but yes, yes I do.

Next step, Remote control...
