Long time no see yall here
got 2 news for you:
first of all, new LOS17.1 update, which includes:
September security patch
Updated LOS 17.1 sources
Metadata encryption -> you need to format data and use a special TWRP, which ill make an update for in the TWRP thread, and instructions for usage will follow here
Updated blobs from V405EBW 30b -> you NEED to be on 10 firmware, with pie firmware you wont be able to boot
some DAC fixes
screen-off touch Gestures (Settings -> System -> Gestures)
SELinux is enforcing
maybe more stuff i dont remember
known issues: sometimes bt audio doesnt work properly, investigating
Second news: LOS18.0 is booting, and it works pretty great so far (its based on the latest 17.1 build, so its requirements also count for this build)
Based on Android 11
EARLY build (the things i tested worked, but 99% of Lineage stuff isnt implemented yet, HALs are takes from 17.1 prebuilt, and so on...)
but Wifi, RIL, Audio, DAC, fingerprint, encryption, BT, ... seem to work so far
Will update OP soon with instructions for metadata encryption and links to download
Edit: TWRP thread updated
also some more info on 11/LOS18.0:
- Audio HAL upreved to 6.0 + DAC HAL changes to work with that
- SELinux permissive (bringup and so..)
- using more prebuilt LOS17.1 HALs, CAF not dropped for SDM845 yet
- Some build fixes here and there to make it compile/boot/work
- using AOSP bluetooth stack, not Qti
should be up in a few minutes
