Android Pie libra by @Kenga

[snic]

Using Kenga "PixelExperience_libra-9.0-20190324-0524-UNOFFICIAL", probably, the best experience I've had, in this device, so far (4C 2Gb).

My TWRP gave me the "error 7", but this guide solved it.

Thank you Kenga!

I 'll try this ROM but have temperature problems (very hot when use WiFi or Mobile Data and Charging) and not very smooth when install all apk's and use the phone (2/16GB and 4GB free)

I install again the latest Kenga Lineageos 16 Pie ROM and all is good but the battery drain is the problem . And i 'll try to buy a new battery and check it.

Thank you Kenga and from me !!!!!

I tried the PixelExperience_libra-9.0-20190324-0524-UNOFFICIAL.zip and it's really bad. I get alot of appcrash and the system is not smoot at all! The PixelExperience_libra-9.0-20190217-1523-UNOFFICIAL.zip instead is far way better in battery life and system stability. I'm going to the the Lineage OS 16 let's hope that will be my daily driver.

I tried the last LineageOS and the bluetooth is not working anyone have the same problem ?

 

[newhere95]

I found the gapps-config.txt file.
This file can help to delete system apps and i also decided that TTS should not be installed.
after flash rom just install gapps with config file (storage: sdcard)
Play Store and Google Services works fine for me.

I had the same problem "red status bar icon" and one app crashed . I switched back to LOS 16 from Kenga.
I tried to get a better battery life here, but it didnt work. Maybe i will switch back to LOS14 (Battery is better) if i found the old files.

@rianawirawan
error 255?
1. install the rom & root it
2. reboot
3. install system app uninstaller app
4. uninstall some system app ( uninstall Android web view if you'll use chrome )
5. reboot to recovery (wipe cache dalvik if needed )
6.install gapps (pico is recommended)

it works for me
but back to kenga's
coz can't remove WhatsApp & telegram red status bar icon notification counter & some apps i installed from apk is crash

on twrp 3.1.1-1 aqua

i found LOS 16 from Kenga is very good in battery life
maybe your problem on hardware

Could you please let me know which lines you removed?
I have removed everything about assert but now I am getting "error 6".

 

[WJXXBSH]

Yes i have the same problem . When try to install gapps error 70.

I am very disappointed for this , the Play Store with ROM don't working , and is a live - dead pie ROM. I 'll try to install Play Store from Aptoide but nothing happen...

I come back to Kenga ROM and i pray to find a pie ROM who work well. Or i think so it's time to buy a new mobile and RIP Mi4C

How to install app uninstaller ap without play store ?

Can't install gapps on WJXXBSH dev ROM even with pico build.
But first, pie from WJXXBSH seems good, compared by Kenga.

That's beacuse the free space in "/system" is almost used up in the lineage-16.0 builds. I decided to make "/system" full of use since I built the lineage-15.1 roms, but didn't save enough space for GAPPs (mostly because Google is still blocked in China).
It's simple to solve this problem by removing something in "/system". Just delete /system/fonts/NotoSerifCJK-*.ttc (totally 2 files, 48MB), then you could install the pico version of GAPPs. If you also removed /system/fonts/NotoSansCJK-*.ttc (not recommend, 109MB), you could install a much bigger one.
The extra space this rom uses in /system is mainly from dex2oat and full-weight Noto fonts.
For the first one: The filter flags of dex2oat is set to "speed" for better performance, which takes more time and space when building the rom but will improve the performance and boot-up speed on the first boot. It will also takes more time when you install your APKs, but you'll get better performance for the first start-up on the app you install. In most roms with default configs, all the free space that "dex2oat" used at last (eg. when you charging your phone and don't use it) will appear in "/data" (exactly, /data/dalvik-cache/). The APK installing speed is faster, but it need to be compiled again as "speed" filter at last and cause poor performance until this procedure fully completed. So I use a more aggressive way for such cases, which sets "speed" filter as default values. This part should not be removed.
For the second one: In android pie, Google add full weight Noto fonts for English only, and other languages like Chinese/Japanese/Korean (CJK) do not have full-weight fonts at all (only regular and bold fonts). So I complete the NotoCJK fonts family and the visual experience becomes much better after that, which is also at the cost of free space in "/system". This part could be directly removed if C/J/K are not your main languages.

The android 9.0 roms has not supported camera HAL3 right now, and maybe not in future android versions.

@WJXXBSH thanks 4 your rom it's great.
:good::good:
btw how to disable red counter status bar icon?

@WJXXBSH thanks 4 your rom it's great.
:good::good:
btw how to disable red counter status bar icon?

The value of the "status bar counter icon" was set by overlay in device tree, which is before making the rom. (So, it's a feature but not a bug, and you couldn't disable it directly. It's mainly used for showing how many notifications you get from one app, but the icon itself is too large in Android pie.)
If you (or others) don't like this or think it useless, I will remove it in the next update.

<!-- Whether or not we show the number in the bar. -->
<bool name="config_statusBarShowNumber">true</bool>

 

[rojobrono]

thanks a lot 4 your attention
i know it's not bug
OK , we're waiting for it :good:

You could delete the fonts just in TWRP: mount /system, and then open the built-in file manager.
If you install the right version of gapps, it should work (may need a clean install, but otherwise should be OK as opengapps will handle such situation). For Google is blocked in China and I cannot use gapps without an always connected VPN, I use MicroG for instead and seldom use common gapps, so I don't know much about that...sorry.

If you found it takes a long while to boot than before (except your first boot after an update or cleared dalvik-cache), just reboot again. It's caused by "SELinux Enforcing", which may prevent some system services from init during boot time. However, I have not exactly found which one it is in logcat right now.
I'll delay the time of "selinux enforcing" (enable it after boot completed) in the next update to solve this problem. That way never caused reboot issues (I have tested since last week), but will show up a warning after boot (like "SELinux is disabled") just like previous builds.
