I understand but you said you have to have Google Maps for AA to work. Does it not work with Waze alone or are you saying you don't want any map service installed?
How else is it to recognize your speech without a microphone? How else is it suppose to work hands free? You have to have a microphone...Or they simply don't know how to use a speaker without opening a microphone as well...
Solved the first 2 with a cache wipe in twrp
Good find, thanks. I have had almost no problems using TWRP and find it is both a lot more powerful than the LOS recovery, but also, should one ever want to jump to another ROM, surely having TWRP would make that easier. Plus the reviewers experience with a few reboots needed with MgG etc. also suggest some caution. (Have had no problems with the OpenGapps Pico beta, apart from the Google camera and Maps.Me not working.) The review article is a useful features overview.LineageOS 18.1 Review: Android 11, coming to an old phone near you
LineageOS 18.1 Review: Android 11, coming to an old phone near you
Instead of ditching your old phone, keep it running with LineageOS 18.1, a custom ROM based on Android 11. Here's a review of what it's like.www.xda-developers.com
As to the reviewers problems with gapps, there is a likely explanation in a comment from @duckyduck!
Nexus 6/shamu LineageOS 18.1 20210414 PlayMarket is uncertified
Google Nexus 6 (shamu) LineageOS 18.1: lineage-18.1-20210414-nightly-shamu-signed Build date: Wed Apr 14 04:38:09 UTC 2021
I installed the latest lineage-18.1-20210414-nightly-shamu-signed and lineage-18.1-20210414-recovery-shamu using these instructions:
Upgrade LineageOS on shamu | LineageOS Wiki
wiki.lineageos.org
I tried to use different bootloaders - but it didn`t help:
| lineage-18.1-20210407-recovery-shamu |
| lineage-18.1-20210401-recovery-shamu |
| lineage-17.1-20210331-recovery-shamu |
Current play market`s version is 24.9.17-21 [0] [PR] 367727371
While updating through recovery - I used MindTheGapps-11.0.0-arm-20210412_124103
I read the article from Lineage os: https://lineageos.org/Google-Play-Certification/
But the solution after registration of the device's GSF ID - didn't work
Has someone experienced that? And maybe there is a fix?

No, there is a small chance to hit a race condition where some dependant services don't come up with the right timing.

Fixed the DMconfig issue, next build should be fine. - Google Camera idk, you'd need to use the old APK, and even then not sure it will work on Android 11.
Lineage Recovery can too... click "Wipe" and pick either cache, data, or system. It uses format for all of them.
Fixed the DMconfig issue, next build should be fine. PayPay is due to SafetyNet likely, which we don't (and won't) pass.
Fixed the DMconfig issue, next build should be fine. - Good to hear you could upgrade like that but I wouldn't recommend this to others, as I'm not sure it covers all cases.Phew! I just had some very exciting moments doing the upgrade. I decided to take the conventional method using TWRP. This is how I did it:
- deactivated screen lock (but forgot to deactivate SIM pin...)
- installed TWRP using fastboot
- booted into TWRP and made a full backup onto a USB memory
- made sure that backup could be restored
- wiped system partition and cache
- installed the image and MtG, that I had copied on the same USB before
- wiped cache again
- rebooted system
System started, but when SIM pin was requested, system rebooted instantly. Bummer!
- rebooted into TWRP
- deleted the lock db
- removed SIM
- rebooted system
System came up and was running and all apps where still installed. Great! After a few moments I inserted the SIM and was asked for the pin. The SIM was unlocked and network was working! Hurray!
After playing with the phone for about half an hour now there's only one think I'm missing: there used to be an option to kill an app by holding down the back button for some seconds. I can't find that option any more. Has it been removed?
On the other hand, there are two apps now, that I would rather not have on my phone: Google and voice search. I assume they are part of the MtG package. I can not uninstall them. Will I be able to get rid of them by reinstalling the LOS image plus OpenGaps Pico, once those package is available? Or will installing OpenGaps break any dependencies?
One error message keeps reappearing saying "DM config update failed". Should I be worried about this? What to do about this message?
Good advice!
Refleash your gapps, or wipe your data, something isn't right, this works fine.
Fixed the DMconfig issue, next build should be fine.
don't use SBM1 - bad idea, unsupported, insecure. Burn it with fire.
Unfortunately I have some old equipment that are not smb2 so I'm stuck with it for the meantime I did find a workaround so I'm good thanks
It seems that there has been no new builds since that post...Yes, that issue is solved. Thanks for that!
It's already included in lineage-18.1-20210421-nightly-shamu-signedIt seems that there has been no new builds since that post...
Time for a phone clean out. Look in Settings Storage and see how much free space you still have - will give you an idea of how much to chop. Delete some junk photos, old apps, music files after 1990 (just kidding). Might use CC Cleaner app (carefully)-it will clear out lots of junk but be slow and careful what you allow (and watch permissions). Then in Settings, Apps, PlayStore - clear cache and storage (carefully so you are sure you can recover all settings). Then try again. Avoid any solutions involving dynamite, vacuum cleaners, hydrochlorozine, or bleach.
Can't seem to get Viper4android working on LineageOS18/android 11...otherwise working great
- Your warranty is now void.
- You have been warned.
- Use at your own risk.That paper doesn't understand how any of this works, and the fact it paints /e/ in a good light really makes me question it's integrity. Plus, the chart that shows the "reporting" we do to google - none of it is correct. We do none of that - unless you install gapps - which is an aftermarket user choice.
Thank you for the tip an nudge in the right direction !!!
