Any chance it can be brought back and we display the counter on the side instead of the centre?
Hey, I'm having a problem installing the recovery file onto my phone. When I try to fastboot flash boot either to slot a or b, with the .img file, I get hit with
Warning: skip copying boot_a image avb footer (boot_a partition size: 0, boot_a image size: 67108864).
Sending 'boot_a' (65536 KB)
and it either stops there indefinitely, or it eventually shows
FAILED (Status read failed (Too many links))
I've tried many different solutions. Different usb ports, different PCs, different .img files (like TWRP), and I've been having no luck, and I haven't seen anyone else who has the same problem as I. Any help would be tremendously appreciated.

Try to go back to Jan stock rom and when flashing LOS recovery image, don't put slot (fastboot flash boot recovery.img)
I followed LOS installation instruction closely, and it've never failed me.
Hope it works for you. Good luck.
@npjohnson can I ask a question about the v19 of the LineageOS ROM for Mata (whenever that is, no rush)?
Like you kept the essential camera in the ROM in v18.1, will you do the same for v19 as well? Thanks.

I have the same issue as Sam. I have tried changing usb cables, usb hub, laptops, PCs, OS and nothing helped.
Tried going back to stock rom and couldn't flash anything as well.
What do you mean by "don't put slot (fasboot flash boot recovery.img)"?
@SpunkySam did you have any luck with this?
Nope, I haven't. Someone on reddit messaged and said some of these phones just don't work properly. If using different devices and a usb hub didn't work, I truly cannot think of or find any other solution.
Don't put slot means don't specify the slot it should be flashed to i.e. a or b.
Personally, I always specify the slot. Instead of using _a, try using __a

Works in Google maps here....
weird - can't replicate in youtube, file a bug ticket as per the wiki instructions please?
uhhh - sounds like you need to wipe data - something sounds messed up.
Just follow the wiki guide and all will work fine.
you need to format /data and just follow the wiki guide, thing shouldn't crash, so long as you use lineage, and (if you want) mindthegapps
please don't discuss other ROMs here - go elsewhere for that.Try crDroid, although not official but OP update regularly and the rom is stable, good enough for daily useage.

Their firmware fix is placebo - it's the same firmware - I'm looking into the webview issue, and strongly suspect it'll be fixed in the next build (newer webview version built in).
Apologies, sepolicy mismatch after a merge on the qcom-common sepolicy repo. I've fixed it, the next build will not have this issue!

There's a bug ticket open for it, unsure what the cause is, but we know about it and are trying.@npjohnson since you seem to be involved with the development of LOS, do you have any idea what's going on, on phone calls, with the loud speakerphone that doesn't respond to the volume keys? i can't remember, anymore, which versions of essential's builds had the same problem and i never read anything about what they did to fix it. i do remember that it wasn't an immediate fix.
the fact that it did exist in essential's builds, oi LOS17.1, and now in LOS18.1, makes me think that it's something deeper than a ROM typically goes. but that is just my not-understanding-the-nuts-and-bolts-of-things thought.
