LOS 17 fresh install - some apps just don't work I tried to dirty flash from LOS 16 and it failed - boot animation for 24h with no progress. When I tried to reenter TWRP it asked for the decryption password. So I formatted the sdcard, reinstalled everything in one go with sideload (LOS 17.1...

thanks for answering but can you explain how that would solve the mentioned problems? I had installed LOS 16, fingerprints were working (didn't check for WiFi randomized MACs). Then I updated to LOS 17, suddenly WiFi was using a randomized MAC with no option to switch it off and revert to...

stuff missing in settings I happily installed this ROM (bought a broken device for fun, installed a new display). First I installed LOS 16 but then I found that there's a 17.1 - thanks for that. Things I noticed: 1. with 16 I had stored 3 fingerprints, and with 17 they're gone - I can't unlock...

revert xt1926-3 to factory (2020) The latest factory image I downloaded from lolinet does not contain 2 files for system_b, only one, and it's named differently, so imho you have to replace the 2 above fastboot commands with the following (taken from flashfile.xml inside the download)...

rebooted, flashed Magisk again, and this time it works! Apart from the red flashing LED everything looks good. Thanks very much for your help!

I flashed 3.3.1-P207 a few minutes ago and still fails to install Magisk. Booting is ok although the red light is flashing all the time until start process is done. Magisk install in the manager app says "unknown image format" for failure reason.

success - mostly I installed the latest zip and it still blocks at the power-on screen. Before wiping I wanted to try some more and uninstalled Magisk. This was mostly successfull - booting went on, the only "problem" now is a constantly flashing red light while booting. The flashing stops...

you're not alone I had the same problem. I was on 0628 and wanted to update to 0906, but the phone stayed at the "LG ..." power-on screen. Luckily I could still boot to TWRP (the keys are a bit tricky timing-wise) and go back to 20190628 which worked - but only when flashed together with...

which factory ROM I downloaded the latest XT1092 factory ROM image and extracted the files. This is Android 6, MM XT1092_VICTARA_RETDE_6.0_MPES24.49-18-7.zip

the usual way ;) in TWRP, format+wipe, then advanced->sideload, on PC (linux RHEL 7.6) adb sideload $filename.

I sideloaded this release, together with 9.0 stock gapps and Magisk, and apart from the known problem with SIM card not detected (even after rebooting a lot), I face another one: skipping SIM card insertion, adding WiFi password, then choosing to "copy data from cloud", and after this the setup...

can you please explain how to apply the OTA file? Can I flash with TWRP?

I tried 15.1 with respective opengapps and it failed, error described above. To make sure it works at all I returned to the latest official 14.1 with opengapps, and it works without any problems. Downloaded the latest 16.0 and your suggestion of TWRP. Works now without any "play services"...

clean install but "play services stopped" Hallo, I formatted and wiped the phone before installing los 15.1 (20190514) and opengapps. During the initial setup process the popup "play services stopped" appears multiple times, no matter if I "restart" or "abort". Usually this is a sign of not...

vendor security level? Hallo, I'm running LineageOS on my XT1650-03 (de/eu). The "about" screen tells me I have vendor security level july 2018. Is this the latest? Which of the files from the factory image would I have to flash without destroying my LOS installation? Thanks, Tschau...Thomas

I experienced the same, and first thought this was because I flashed official 20170924 over the unofficial from 201808. I wiped and flashed 20180917. In settings you can enter "nav" in the search bar and under "Keys" the uppermost setting is to enable the navigation bar. Works for me. Since...

Thanks for answering, but now I'm completely lost. The wiki article says I need a phone with current LOS running to pull files, that's a contradiction to me. Apart from that - when the files are pulled from stock and included in a LOS build then I could also pull the files again and they're...

extract-files.sh doesn't find and pull ReferenceFeature.xml Hallo, I try to compile LOS 15.1 for griffin and I encountered a problem during pull of the vendor-specific files. My phone already runs on official 15.1 (smooth update from 14.1). I connected the phone to my Fedora machine and can...

Hallo, when I'm at work I don't have my headset on all of the time, it's just inconvenient. But when I put it aside sometimes the phone rings and I don't hear it because the ringtone is played through the earphones too. Is it possible to have the phone ringing on the loudspeaker and then...

workaround when install wizard breaks None of the suggestions did it for me. I downloaded an old version of LOS 14.1 from 20170801, did the install, and then upgraded to the latest LOS.

doesn't help I flashed LOS 20170919, Gapps pico, wiped everything, and your suggestion doesn't work for me. I see 2 setup wizard apps, the one with Android logo already has *all* permissions, the other one doesn't let me enter the permissions menu at all. Going to WLAN and enabling my...

thanks for the clarification, it wasn't clear to me that there's a distinction between Android and kernel fixes in AOSP.

what exactly do you mean with "that's wrong info"? Reading the Google Android Security Bulletings (e.g. https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/) it is my understanding that Google currently delivers fixes for older Android versions. Do you have a reliable source that says otherwise? The...

older AOSP branches still receive security patches Google stops *building* images and sending out updates to some devices. But: they still develop the security patches and merge them into all (still) supported branches on AOSP. Afaik Google pushes updates as far back as KitKat 4.4. So if you...

I experimented some more with both the LOS stock contacts app and the current Google app. I can set the account photo with both apps, but I cannot set a different photo from the quick settings. I.e. pull down the quick settings, tap on the user picture, tap "more settings", tap on the photo icon...

your answer gave me the final clue how to solve this, great! I usually install google contacts right after flashing LO and deactivate the stock contacts app. Google contacts does not have that "me" feature. I simply re-enabled the stock contacts app, and I could then set a photo for "me". The...

The cropped photo for the account is definitely *not* stored in DCIM. Where does LineageOS internally store the photo after I've selected one from the gallery?

Where would the picture be stored? I'd like to verify if the picture reaches its destination (or even copy my picture manually to that location).

cannot set account picture? Goto Settings -> Users -> Me Tap on the picture icon and "choose picture from gallery" Select a picture, select size and save it (I tried jpg, png and ico). Does not show a picture but still the abstract blue user icon. Happens with all lineageos versions for...

I'm flashing the smallest "pico" package due to size of system partition. Is it really enough to re-flash the same pico package and be good? The Google Play Services come later as a Play Store install, so as sound as the suggestion comes I'm wondering a bit. Maybe it was my fault by using TWRP...

Google Play Service abends after flash 20170214 Hallo, I'm following the project since dec. 2016 and it looks really fine - I'm quite happy with stock android, I don't need a lot of bells and whistles. But I'm quite unhappy with the reliability of the update.. So far only 1 out of 4 flash...

Hallo, I purchased a model XT1052 with broken glass very cheaply and while looking for a replacement display a vendor told me that the XT1060 part would not fit the 1052 model. Is this true? Or can I go on and repair my 1052 model with the 1060 display? The wikipedia article about Moto X (1st...

archos 101 SW update 2.1.08 Archos has delivered a firmware update to 2.1.08 on Feb 16 2011. It brings a new option "WLAN Proxy Settings". You can enter a proxy-host/IP and port, and check the "Enabled" checkbox. Sadly it does not work for me, the checkbox is disabled when I select the option...
