[GSI][13] LineageOS 20 TrebleDroid-based

[sanjibukai]

Hello all..
I have a question that can be related to the previous question..
So I have a working LineageOS 20 on my phone (Poco M4 Pro 4G) which is also rooted with Magisk.

Now I wanted to install Gapps, but it seems the only way to do it is to use a custom recovery (TWRP).
The problem is that TWRP seems to not exist for my device and unofficial TWRP are stated to be only compatible with Android 11 (on my device the latest stock ROM is under Android 12)..

Do I need to rollback to a previous version of Lineage OS under Android 11 (or even using an older stock ROM) in order to have a working TWRP?

Isn't there another way to install a custom recovery?

I guess that in any caseif I succeed to have a working TWRP, I'll need to start over Magisk and Lineage OS installation, right?

Or maybe is there a way to just install the Gapps without using a recovery?
It seems the distribution preferred by LineageOS is MindTheGapps https://www.xda-developers.com/download-google-apps-gapps/

I am not sure what you mean.

Someone who hasn't heard of Magisk, what a rare sight these days...

Or maybe is there a way to just install the Gapps without using a recovery?

There's a pre-GAPPS'd variant (*_gN).

I did installed that one: lineage-20.0-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN.img which I belied should be one with Gapps, eight?
But it seems that all in all, among the Gapps, there's only Google, Play Store and Voice Search.
So I thought that I still needed to install MindTheGapps (or any other gapps distrib) in order to have a little more..

you misunderstood me
I know Magisk, and also DeltaMagisk

You wrote "Root with Magisk. Yes these do support Magisk out of the box, usually no need to do Securize or weird stuff."

I am not sure if you meant to use
lineage-20.0-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvS-vndklite.img
which shall include SU, and Magisk-App is only the app which control su (you wrote "S: *Built* with PHH Superuser (app needed)"
or
if I should use Magisk normally on
lineage-20.0-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvN-vndklite.img
and patch boot-partition.

I have tested to patch boot in arm64_bvN-vndklite.img. This seems that this doent work.

The integrated one is already MTG. Download the "heavier" apps straight from Play Store, no reason to further blow up the size of the images (which already prevents some older devices from flashing).

I am not sure if you meant to use...

You want both Magisk and GAPPS, so pair it with a *_gN image.
Unfortunately, if Magisk doesn't want to work with GSIs on your device, then none of us are really in a position to help you (the author is kinda anti-GSI). *_gS is also not an option, since PHH-SU is known to disturb SN.

 

[uschipower]

...PHH-SU is known to disturb SN.

What ist SN?

 

[AndyYan]

What ist SN?

SafetyNet. Here I didn't precisely refer to it, I meant that having PHH-SU might fail some verification from el Goog and prevent you from logging in and such.

@AndyYan
Because I was asked in another thread, does your *.img change/modify/add something on boot partition?
Which partitions are affected/changed when flashing your *.img?
Thanks.

@ all
have anybody rooted his device with one of AndyYan's *N-*.img (= Images without integrated PHH Superuser) successfully with Official Magisk or MagiskDelta?

Ya, I got Magisk. I'm running lineage-20.0-20230322-UNOFFICIAL-gsi_arm64_gN and just flashed it right after I flashed that using a patch previously generated through it's app.

Only /system.

I see you're asking around whether other GSIs support Magisk better. This is quite device-specific, and even if people report success with all sorts of other devices, yours might not necessarily do.

 

[uschipower]

just flashed it right after I flashed that using a patch previously generated through it's app.

Which device do you have?
Did you use the Magsik app to modify a boot-Image-File which you you have flashed then.
Or did you use Recovery to patch installed boot-partition directly?

If using boot-File, where have you taken from the file? From latest stock-rom?

Using a Moto G Power 2021. Ya. Used boot file from stock rom with the Magisik app.

i see nothing wrong. It might be happening on your physical display but not on screenhots. Try taking picture of the screen from another device.

 

[tangy912]

Make an overlay.

Tried but there doesn't seems to be any files in both framework-res.apk and the vendor's framework-res that can fix it.

So, what should I do?

Big thanks @AndyYan . I'm using this GSI as my daily driver on a Lenovo Legion Y70 and it works great. I truly appreciate your contribution to this community.

Hello everybody..
I tried to install the Live Wallpapers from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...3-4-a-5-6-live-wallpapers-27-07-2022.3481640/
On different GSI ROMs (tries with Elixir and also PE - even if those are already in the phone) they just works.
On this version of Lineage OS, the Wallpaper app keeps crashing..
Does anyone know if there's a workaround?
I found that https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/5371 but it doesn't work in my case..

This is a universally useful and non-intrusive (default OFF) mod, so I added it to TD as well.
LOS has "rooted debugging" in Developer Options. Turn that on then "adb root" for a rooted shell.

I just realized that you've been comparing across devices, i.e. you aren't controlling variables properly...

This might actually happen - I'm starting to observe it on some very recent OPlus (=OPPO+OnePlus+Realme) devices. Unfortunately I don't have a way out, nor am I really interested in checking "why" at the moment. Perhaps use Magisk for /system changes instead?

Okay
I have now system rw
but
1) how to chnge bootanimation? there's no /system/media folder...
2) how to make /vendor rw?
3) how to DisableForcedEncryption?

One thing, though: Whenever I try to register my fingerprint, systemui immediately crashes. Maybe the attached log helps to find the cause? Thanks!

Edit: The issue is fixed in latest Treble Droid release: https://github.com/TrebleDroid/plat...mmit/2f67d9f7b996f4143a1fcc7dc1a64819ab3b5429.

Does it already work for you? I tried it on my Samsung Galaxy A50 on the March bvN variant and it shows the exact same behavior!
EDIT: this is the logcat

Edit: @AndyYan is there a way to know if the mentioned fix is included in the current version of LOS? The Samsung A50 shows the exact same behavior as described in the quoted post!
