LineageOS 17.1 - Xiaomi A2 Lite - Development Only

[Hanzing]

Does anyone know the procedure to install Gcam? Or it comes with the rom?

GCam normaly comes with GAPPs as far as i know, depending on the package (pico, mini etc)

Did you see my post, @reujea0? Anything that can be done?

I have seen, it but it is hard to fix something that I have not really nticed. I do not use the phone oon a daily basis now, so it is even harder. Best hting would be to adb logcat for a few hours and then hope it happens. But should be better with los18

I could use some help. I flashed the image to my phone, but screen stays black after reboot from Recovery.
What i did so far was as followed:

1. Went to options in the normal system, enabled developer mode and usb debugging.
2. Reboot to fastboot and used the command "fastboot oem unlock"
3. This cause a factory reset, i wen again to the options and did step 1 again
4. Entered fastboot again and booted the twrp image
5. flashed twrp on the phone as written here (exept the Magisk part):

6. Reboot into recovery, everything nice till here
7. Wiped the phone and installed you latest linageos version
8. If i reboot now into recovery, the lineage recovery appears. If i reboot into system, first the android 1 screen appears and afterwards screen keeps black.

I dont know what to do anymore. What did i do wrong? There wasn't any issues during flash of OS...
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: When i boot the twrp recovery via fastboot again and from there normal reboot recovery i get the LineageOS recovery.

THat is a good sign, it mean that lineage is installed in some way. Try doing a factory reset in lineage os recovery

No, it is an apk file you download. Once downloaded on your phone, click on it and it will install.

Will you release a version with microG included as you've done with LOS17.1 or is it not much of a priority?

Probably yes, but I have to upgrade my server to have more storage and also don't know if los18 is ready for microg but will look into it

This means that this ROM will no longer receive new updates beyond latest December update. It is time to move on to LineageOS 18.1

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

@reujea0 thanks for your effort on this project! I know this version is discontinued due to v. 18, but I'd like to ask one thing: I don't like the camera and gallery apps, is there a way to change the camera app (if yes, provide link) and possibly delete the stock one?
Thanks again

You know the double click on the power button to open the camera? If you do that while having multiple camera apps installed, you'll be able to set a default one.

What about the gallery app?

If you have multiple gallery apps installed, doing something like opening a photo should give you the same dialog, allowing you to set a default one. As for Google Camera, these versions should work the best: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-parrot043/ (this one is the latest: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1487/)

Thanks! I successfully installed gcam and google photo.
It's impossible to disable camera and gallery stock from settings.
Would it be possible to disable it from Titanium? Or any other way not to see the double icons thanks!

If you use a custom launcher, it's probably possible to hide them.Otherwise, if you have a computer, it's possible to disable them using adb shell pm disable --user 0 org.lineaegos.snap and adb shell pm disable --user 0 com.android.gallery3d

You can try with this method: https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/

You practically suggested the same thing... And in fact it worked, now I've got rid of double icons and I'm using GCam and Google Photo.
Since we're here, have you any suggestion to improve my LineageOS experience? idk, kernel update, must-have magisk modules, apps... Anything could help. Thanks!

 

[Landrea]

Hey, it'me again!
Everything working ok, but I noticed overall speaker audio is very low, is there any way to boost it?
Maybe a Magisk module or something like that?
thanks!
