LineageOS 15.1 Releasing.

[H4X0R46]

So I found out today that LineageOS 15.1 has started rolling out builds to some devices. Here's a link to the article and which devices are first in line! The shamu isn't on the list, but will hopefully be coming soon!

It's not an unofficial build of LineageOS. It's just some stuff he managed to compile from my sources. I'd rather not use it as NFC is horribly broken.

Oh man I'm sorry, I wasn't aware of that. I just flashed it yesterday poked around a bit and went back to screw'd. I just wanted to see if it was close to the release notes. It was a build from a few days ago. Its the one named unofficial. Lineage.15.1 on afh ..can't wait for your build though

@Elektroschmock Is there any place where we can track the development progress of LOS 15.1 for the Nexus 6? I know that there's the LOS Gerrit, but for those of us who don't really know what work needs put in to porting Android to an officially-unsupported device, it isn't very revealing.

And of course, thanks for all the time and hard work you put in to keeping our shamus alive!

Hi,
Installed Lineage 15.1 Beta 3 with open GApps Arm /8.1 /Stock.

1. Dialer there is no Graphic when somebody calls, no way to pick up or hang down the phone.
For the workaround I used is , the ON, OFF button and volume control to operate the phone.
2. Lock screen when playing Music is freezing.
workaround, turned off Musik Visualisierung.

thats so far all.
Thanks for All the work.

For #1 make sure you have the phone app set as the default Settings>Apps>Configure Apps>Phone App (might be slightly different for 8.1)

Lineage 15.1 Beta 4 solved it for me.

15.1 is on the shamu nighties now.

Is there root available to 15.1? Thanks!

 

[Barracus66]

There is a Howto on lineageroms but I found that coming from a rooted 14.1, SuperSU from the Playstore does the trick much easier.
The 14.1 addonsu definitely did not work for me.

First off, hats off to the LineageOS devs for this ROM. Everything works, but there are some bugs
1. The call history is perpetually empty, it does not keep track of call history (at least on my device)
2. The wifi gets selective about apps with internet access when I am connected for long enough, whatsapp and other IM apps stop working and require a restart.
3. The bluetooth as well has some issues. Bluetooth audio works perfectly as well as bluetooth LE but file transfers (at least for me) require a restart.

This is what I did about the twrp password problem. I used a mixture of ideas from the kind people here. Hooked N6 to my laptop with adb functional in developer settings. I had all the files in a folder on the laptop desktop. Booted to recovery. I did a full wipe including storage. I formatted data like many suggested. This is an important next step. Reboot recovery to verify the password is not required. I did and password request was gone. My phone storage now showed on my PC with twrp booted. I created a download folder on my phone and transferred Lineage 15,
Gapps, and magisk. Rebooted recovery one more time to verify password was gone and files were available. Installed all and rebooted system and all is well. Thanks everyone for the guidance.

Think were April Screwed.... No 15.1 LOS Update as of 4/9

April Screwed!

Guess the crappy April Fools joke goes a step further, apparently they did even bother with the Vendor key for the image they uploaded as a joke and I suspect there will be no official LOS 15.1 support for the Nexus 6. I was hoping to see a weekly update with at least that fixed, the fact that I don't makes me wonder if we are abandoned by LOS.

P.S. Ya that TWRP password crap and the encryption breakage was total BS as well.

There is an official thread and it is officially supported. Look in the original Android development section of the nexus 6 forum
