When one downloads a new update through the built-in updater, where does the file get put? I'm having trouble during the automated update process with the latest TWRP, and would like to do the dirty manual update

It appears that the new devices have been silently changed by Google to no longer allow you to have the same functionality you did before. Boot loader unlocking is now impossible unless someone can find an exploit.

Here are the images of the inside just in case its useful:

I don't know where else to post this. Please help spread the message about Google screwing us over.

@lineageos CUNADO SE SACA LINEAGEOS CON ANDROID 15

I am planning for a TV Box + Display setup for my parents.

1. Banana Pi M5 ( lineageos available )
2. 32 inch HDMI Monitor ( or a non smart TV )

Can you provide your setup , pros/cons.

I especially like the Camera app as if feels very modern without all of the bloat. All the apps feel like they belong in modern Android. It is clear that lots of work has gone into the core apps.

Hello, as you can see in the following picture, I have some issue with an app, I think that media storage and external storage are used by some apps though I don't have any clue about which one, Does this happened to any of you ? For your information, my phone is a mi A1 that run on lineage OS nightly Tissot 20 : 20-20240605-NIGHTLY-tissot The problem happened before I made an update so it's probably not related

I hope I do not break any rule from this community

Have a nice day you all :)

Do we have a default application for Note?

I know it sounds mundane, but we have calculator, sound recorder, music player, even web browser. It just seems a bit strange we don't have a basic plain-text note application.

I usually use Markor. I have no complaint overall except that it would stick out like sore thumb on my front screen due to it not having the themed icon.

Devs & fellow users, what do y'all think?

I have a Google Pixel 4a. I have LineageOS on it (codename Sunfish). When I first installed it I got regular updates each week. But now I haven't received one since March 16. Have they stopped releasing these? Do I now have to try and build updates myself?

I have a Nothing Phone 1 but unfortunately, no one's currently maintaining it. I was thinking of doing it myself but I don't really know where to start. Would be great if you could give me some pointers.

@lineageos I request you to release Android 14 for Mi 11X(alioth)

Form that committ, it seems to me that LOS is finally allowing signature spoofing for microg (under certain conditions). Have they finally changed their mind?

I recently got this second hand nvidia shield, and heard lineageOS was compatibile. I have access to this guide https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/foster/variant1/ but I'm having some doubts about its compatibility. Can someone confirm?

Although GPS or hardware based location does work on LineageOS, it seems there is no easy way to get software based Network Location officially on LineageOS due to UnifiedNLP getting deprecated and merged to GMS Core. (Also see this post)

After discussing with community and my own research, there are 2 ways to get it on LineageOS-

1. Either get LineageOS for MicroG. Problem with that being it is not official.
2. Or get some older version of UnifiedNLP with MinMicroG (also an older version) or some other 3rd party installer.

Both of these are complicated and risky (as flashing can brick a phone) processes for something that is software based and is only half part of location services as GPS still works, meaning imo, you aren't getting your effort's worth. Especially noobs.

This post is an upto date guide for future users (as not many might get difference between GPS and Network Location) while also inviting suggestions for older users on how they dealt with the problem.

How is battery life on your instantnoodle and what is your general experience? Do you like LOS 20 better?

Hello, yesterday I installed LineageOS 21 on my phone. It seems like everything is working fine, except that when I open a video with the official YouTube app or using ReVanced, after a few seconds, the video image freezes, but the audio continues. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there a solution? In the meantime, I'm using Tubular, and it works fine. Thank you

So there is a blog post that announces all of the new features but I don't see anything but 20 under the download pages. Maybe I'm just being impatient.

Edit: yes

I'm thinking that I might need to get a new battery but I want to check the health of my current one.

It suddenly appeared and it doesn't do anything. Does anyone else has it?

Are u able to access Digital wellbeing app, in custom ROMs ?

For me, it lists only in Playstore, Not viewable in App menu or in settings. ( My OS is Crdroid )

Happy New Year! DivestOS and the Divested projects as they currently stand are ultimately unsustainable. My goal for 2023 was to acquire a grant to continue my work, I was unsuccessful. Today I am announcing a fundraiser of raising $12,000 USD by end of February. It may be a stretch to ask, but I hope you all have found sufficient value in my work to keep these projects going. If it is unsuccessful I will switch to a full-time job and the Divested projects will take a backseat. To those who have donated, I truly appreciate your support. Thank you - Tavi.

I didn't know this until 5min ago

I've heard and read recently about a warrant that shows that the US government is monitoring push notifications on iOS and Android. This is possible because push notifications mostly work remotely, using "push notification post office" servers at Apple and Google.

I am aware that certain apps; such as Threema, Signal, Proton, Tuta, and others; use their own servers for push, but not all apps will do this. So, as a deGoogled operating system, how exactly does LineageOS handle push notifications?
