Use 3rd party camera app (open camera or camera mx). If you are on latest build check if hotspot is working.

I wasn't using the latest build so I installed that one. Video recording seemed to work for a bit. But now it doesn't anymore. Even with the apps you suggested. When I play the video back, it just freezes and I only hear the audio.

Just flashed the latest build with July 2017 security updates. Here is a full review -
1. Butter smooth.
2. Hotspot working.
3. 100% compatibility with Substratum.
4. Video recorder works with stock snap it app only.
5. For camera using open camera.

Issues i noticed -
1. Led not working.
2. The mobile data network disconnects if phone remains in stand by for a long time. You need to soft reboot phone to regain data access.
Has anyone else noticed this weird issue. Any solutions please.

I haven't faced data disconnection. Please let me know if network drops suddenly.

Just Installed this ROM.
Boot Animation is psychedelic .. Would have preferred more sober simpler animation like goggle's 7 or AICP.
Bug (I think)
I created finger print profiles during the initial setup.
But those were unusable afterwards.
I count delete them either from Security.
This meant that fingerprint to unlock was not working..
I added a fingerprint, which was getting recognized and was working fine... but the ones created during initial setup weren't.

Re-Imaged and done everything again.

Hi guys just wanted to share this information. Might be useful for people who are not able to block ads in Lineage OS based ROMs.

  • Do not use the SU addon for rooting your phone.
  • Reboot to recovery and flash the latest version of Magisk. V13.1 Stable in my case
  • After reboot to system install the Magisk manager if not already installed
  • Open Magisk Manager, goto settings. Make sure systemless hosts are enabled
  • Goto download section and install unified hosts adblocker
  • Let the phone reboot after installation
  • Install terminal emulator and give it SU access
  • Type su ---> Type hosts
  • First install the master using m
  • Next install everything else using fgps

Now here is the catch, if you do not install fgps, certain ads will still be visible in some apps, eg MXplayer was able to display ads. To get rid of all ads you need to install all scripts.
Anyways now you will notice that even facebook is being blocked . You sure dont want to do that so here is what you need to do.
  • On the root of your sdcard create a file called "whitelist"
  • Open this file using a text editor and enter the following entries - "0.0.0.0 facebook.com" "0.0.0.0 m.facebook.com" "0.0.0.0 *.facebook.com"
Please type them as mentioned inside quotes. DO not put quotes in actual file.

Now back to terminal emulator -
  • press W and let it process the white list.

Thats it. You have a 100% Ad and crap free phone with all social networks working.

I had this issue.. So, I reflashed ROM, magisk .... and went through the steps again.
The only difference.
I installed terminal emulator and ran "su" gave root permission to terminal.
then installed unified hosts adblocker and rebooted
then terminal and hosts .. worked fine.
Have you installed any adblock app?
