[GSI][13] LineageOS 20 TrebleDroid-based

[kevinco1]

An overlay?
I guess I just learned something.. So do I need to search for an "overlay"?

In one side, I really need AoD as I'm using it as a clock on my desk. So I somehow just want to just go back to stock MIUI ROM)
But on the other side, now I found MIUI so bloated and slow and most importantly on recent ROMs it's impossible to have full screen gestures with a third party app - which is a bummer as well)

I'm so sad and stuck

Try this app, it should replace AOD if it's not available in Lineage. Don't be sad....

AOA: Always on Display - Apps on Google Play

Always on display with edge lighting, notifications, weather, music controls.

For desk clock purpose, Daydream (known as Screen saver now) is much more flexible; or, just pair your favorite app with LOS's Caffeine (never sleep) tile.

Hello everybody,

I successfully installed this ROM on my Poco M4 Pro (MTK processor) which has an AMOLED display, but I'm not able to make the Always On Display working on the device.

Is it something I'm missing or is it just that this ROM is not compatible with my phone?

not to mention aod on every gsi has tried is broken. the clock gets stuck and doesnt update.

I'm having a notch issue. The GSI is not detecting my device's notch. Any way to fix this?

Make an overlay.

@AndyYan
When I need root and also GAPPS, which Image should I choose?
TrebleInfos says: arm64, vndklite
Device is ab-patched (TB-X605L)

I am asking because there is no
lineage-20.0-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgS-vndklite.img.xz

Thanks.

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

Hello everybody...

I just noticed that on my device (Poco M4 Pro) with a freshly installed ROM, there is no internet despite Wifi is correctly connected and shows "Internet" as connected..
When I launch the browser, I get ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED..
It seems it's a DNS issue..
I don't know how to change the DNS in the phone but I tried to go to a website by using its direct IP address but the page gets stuck in the loading state...
When I set the private DNS to adguard for example, it's also loading indefinitely..

Does it mean somehow my device is not working with LineageOS?
I tried many GSI ROMs and never had that issue..

Hey. I'm using lineage-20.0-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN-vndklite on a Moto G Power (2021).

couple things I've noticed:

- the powered off charging screen/logo is much simpler/basic than the previous lineage 19.1

-might be something up with the battery re: full charge saying I have one day instead of almost 2... I imagine I will do that thing where I drain it til it shuts down then power it up to full with the power off to see if that recalibrates anything.

Also, is there a way to put all status bar icons towards the right? Re: embedded camera on left

Also, is there any way to rescind vndkliteness so as to take advantage of your 'light' version?

PPPS: I should definitely not be attributed with the moniker 'Senior Member'. It implies that I'm something other than a technological clod, only maintaining a custom gsi because of the ability to cut and paste.

Gee people, read OP and #2...

I assume your stuff are going behind your front camera, the right way to rectify that would be to make an overlay.

VNDKLite is a way legacy concept from Oreo, I don't believe your device requires that variant (unless you show me a Treble Info screenshot?). That aside, people have reported that they were able to switch between "Light" and TD-based without wiping, although I wouldn't recommend so.

Don't really know what an overlay is, though its not really important.
Mostly I'm attracted to 'light' because of the exFAT thing. I've been told that it is, in the long run, gentler on the processor. And my goal with my device is technological endurance... as if I'll never have access to a pc again.

TD here also has exFAT (ofc I'd (back)port that to all I'm maintaining).
Your screenshot proves that you don't need to run a VNDKLite variant; you might want it for /system read-write purpose.

My bad and thank you!
In the meantime I flashed back LOS 19.. I'm going to flash again 20..
Quick question though on that post you say the following:

please upgrade to a newer vendor base

What do you mean by to upgrade to a new vendor?

Also, I read a little bit about VNDK, and it seems it's mostly related for older smartphones as you said..
But in my case my phone (Poco M4 Pro) is pretty recent and had Android 12 (so should not be relevant regarding VNDK) but I also have info about VNDK in Treble Info (VNDK version => 31.0 and VNDK Lite => Full linker namespace separation enabled).. So I usually go with the VNDKLite version but I did try both version for a given ROM (e.g. LOS 20) and I didn't notice something..

Do you think I go with the regular version or the VNDK version anyway?

Thank you.

light has alot of stuff excluded. It was made for andy's own personal use. It excludes alot of fixes and patches. I cant daily drive it since i need some settings from phh settings which are not there in light. and they are essential for me. It depends on your usecase.

I have the exact same output of Treble Info (minus mine says Version 31 for VNDK) so I got that I don't need the VNDK version..
Out of curiosity though, in which case we might want to have r/w permission for /system?

I don't use a phone/data/sim card, and don't use bluetooth and don't buy or sell anything (re: security stuff). Ideally I'd not have my Android folder encrypted at all. My philosophy seems to be to have the optimal phone for endurance if 'the big one' comes...
wait... Which settings? Is the Alternate Headphone settings thing not there anymore?

 

[AndyYan]

What do you mean by to upgrade to a new vendor?

Your device had A11 out of the box; a newer stock base with its updated kernel probably (A12) / definitely (A13) have already fixed that bug mentioned. When you wanna try that, flash stock and start over.

Do you think I go with the regular version or the VNDK version anyway?

If you can't think up a usecase for /system RW, just use the regular version. You can switch when the need arises anyway.

Out of curiosity though, in which case we might want to have r/w permission for /system?

/system RW is great for testing mods or changes that you want integrated later. When I write overlays for devices I appreciate being able to drop them in live, instead of having to repack or build a whole system image.

light has alot of stuff excluded. It was made for andy's own personal use. It excludes alot of fixes and patches.

On the flipside "Light" will receive much more attention from me, be the first to get updates or fixes of my interest (e.g. the SM8550 in-call audio fix) each month. Just putting it out here so people don't simply dismiss it.

 

[Hatrackman]

Wait. Doesn't 'rooting' automatically imply system r/w capability?

No. Some system images are built with EXT4 shared blocks enabled, meaning they're inherently read-only. Surely you can "overlay" your modifications with Magisk, but that's a different mechanism.

 

[uschipower]

Root with Magisk.

Thanks for fast reply.
I am not sure what you mean. Should I use
lineage-20.0-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvS-vndklite.img ?

And what about GAPPS? They are not included, right?

Another question:
How do I switch GSI-Image, in my case from your
lineage-20.0-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvN-vndklite.img
to
lineage-20.0-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvS-vndklite.img
Simply flash "system" with TWRP doesnt work.
Device doesnt boot
It also doesnt boot after formating data.

edit:
i used this guide https://xdaforums.com/t/android-s-gsi-system-as-root-on-on-smart-tab-m10-tb-x605f.4400689/ to install lineage-20.0-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvN-vndklite.img
