[CLOSED][ROM][UNOFFICIAL][9.0][pyxis] LineageOS 16.0 - Treble [EOL]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9 (pie), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts.

LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.


What's working :
. HWC [Prebuilt Permissive Kernel]
. Wi-Fi, NFC
. Bluetooth : aptX™ HD [48 KHz/24 bits]
. RIL : Calls, SMS, Data
. Call Recorder : AMR-WB & AAC
. Hotspot & Tethering
. Screen Mirroring [aka Miracast]
. Camera : minimalistic ... use my GCam or MIUICamera MOD instead !
. Audio/Video : Playback & Record
. FM Radio & FM Recorder
. Mics [All]
. Sensors [All]
. GPS
. Flashlight, IR Blaster
. Notification LED on the back
. Autobrightness, Full LiveDisplay Control, Notch hide
. Fingerprint [FOD] : use autobrightness in a bright room for fast unlocking, or disable android animations
. AOD : to use at your own risk (burn-in, no deep-sleep)
. DT2W : enabled by default
. Encryption
. USB OTG
. Fast Charging
. Offline Charging
. SafetyNet
. DRM Widevine L1 enabled : Netflix in Full HD with the official app from the Play Store (no Magisk Module / modded app needed)

More :
. Heavy ART, Battery, CPU & Memory optimizations : ZERO lag/freeze/random reboot !
. Super smooth UX
. Hi-Fi audio experience
. Stellar deep-sleep at 99% on GSM mode (disable mobile data /LTE /4G+) : use Wi-Fi instead at home !
. Chromium Webview inside [source]
. Open GApps compatible, or use my optimized "Google Essential Package" +++
. Wi-Fi Max Speed (Mbps) : 150 (2.4 GHz) / 433 (5 GHz)
=> choose in your router settings the highest frequency for "Channel Width" for both 2.4 & 5 GHz +++

Known issues :
- SELinux Permissive
- FOD & Screen Recorder don't work when the option "hide notch" is enabled ... disable it if you want to use them.


INSTRUCTIONS


FIRST INSTALL

Coming from the official MIUI/xiaomi.eu, LineageOS 17.x or any android 10 custom ROM ... etc
This LineageOS 16.0 is based on android 9 (pie) firmware not android 10 !


- With your current TWRP :
. Format /data : type "yes" with keyboard popup
. Flash this firmware.zip [MANDATORY]

- Without rebooting TWRP :
. Wipe system & vendor
. Flash the latest downloaded LOS 16.0 build
. Flash the Open GApps or my "Google Essential Pack" (+ GCam)
. Optional : reboot to TWRP again & flash Magisk

- Boot now to LineageOS system and finish your setup +++ : set MagiskHide ON to pass SafetyNet !




DIRTY INSTALL (2min/max)

= working data for current LineageOS 16.0 (not MIUI, not LOS 17.x)
= you are NOT in MIUI/ LOS 17.x and you just want to restore your backup => it will not work : encryption is different from each software version. You must restart from scratch (clean install)


- From your current TWRP :
. Wipe "/dalvik & cache"
. go with TWRP file manager and delete : /data/system/package_cache
/data/property/persistent_properties
. Flash the latest build
. Flash the Open GApps or my "Google Essential Pack" [+ GCam]
. Optional : reboot to TWRP again & flash Magisk

- Boot to LineageOS system !


MORE CLEAR THAN THIS, I CAN'T OR YOU MUST BE BLIND !!!

Next time, use a polite question please ... For all noobs and impolite users too, i'm not your employee !


DISCLAIMER !!!
If you don't know how to talk, you are free to create your own thread and speak as you want ...
Be sure i will never participate to your talkshow !

This is the last time i answer for such question, next time you will be ignored.

If you are happy with MIUI, if you don't know what is lineageOS, if you didn't fully read the OP or understand it, please don't come here and spam the thread !

With respect, Cheers :good:

balcis said:

Isn't that like default pixel behaviour? When you pull it left does it go to previous app, or how to open multitasking screen?

Thanks in advance.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

No, full gesture exist only Pixel Experience. It's a part of their code !

On LineageOS, swipe up brings you multitasking screen.

Does Google pay work on this rom? Also does the camera zoom work as it does in miui? Thanks! I appreciate your work.

About Google Pay : I will look into that, because i'm a poor guy living in a poor country. So here, people never heard
about it !
