    Thread [Enter] key in Lineage

    I know that the standard Android keyboard allows you to call up the [Enter] key by a prolonged press on the visible Emoji key. I can't seem to be able to do the same in Lineage. Do I need to set any special options ?

    One of the features I am unable to find in Lineage 17.1 is the ability to easily silence my phone when I receive a call. With HTC Sense inverting the phone silences the ringer whilst picking it up reduces the volume and these are really great options ! Can anyone tell me where these are in...

    Thread Lineage 17.1 - photo storage on SD Card

    I understand that there was a problem with using an SD Card as storage for photos on earlier versions of Lineage. Whilst the pictures were saved to the card they were not stored in the standard photo directory DCIM/camera but in Android/data/org.lineageos.snap/files. Gallery can't find photos...

    Post Problem installing SuperSU or Magisk

    Thanks for your advice. Since what I'm trying to do is fairly "fundamental" can you advise a combination of TWRP version & Super SU version that will work together. I'm assuming tha the failure to unzip properly is a functional of TWRP. I've looked at the beginner's guide here but all point to...

    Post S-Off with HBOOT 2.00.0002?

    The 2nd setup is what I have at the moment and it works without a problem except for the slight oddity that switching between GB and ICS ROMS sometimes needs the zip to be flashed again....a boot.img doesn't always work. On the 1st setup I was unable to get any ROM to work either by running in a...

    Post S-Off with HBOOT 2.00.0002?

    HBOOT became 0.98.2002 after running the RUU and then became 6.98 after using Revolutionary. The phone was S-OFF. After running Revolutionary was I supposed to "do" anything else ? If A ROM is saved with simply the Bootloader unlocked (htcdev method) does it hold less data than a "fully...

    Post S-Off with HBOOT 2.00.0002?

    Implications of running an older HBOOT Maybe a slightly naive question......but I obviously need to downgrade my HBOOT to achieve S-OFF on the phone via the Rev method. Can I restore my HBOOT version back to 2.00.0002 without running another RUU through it or is there another method. My MIUI...
