[OFFICIAL] LineageOS 18.1 for the Nexus 6

Wow many thanks for this! It actually worked on CRDROID 7.5 (which is based on LOS) which has the same exact problem. And this worked! So, for everybody on LOS18.1 (Android 11) and derived roms, you can get Magisk Canary from here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk-files/canary/app-debug.apk . After getting the apk file and installing it, also rename the same file changing the extension to .zip. Restart to recovery and flash. Reboot. After that install Viper 2.7.2.1 from Magisk repository, don't reboot yet, just execute Viper and it will prompt to install driver. Reboot. Viper will work on music apps, however if you want to make it work for Youtube or other apps, go to the preferences and enable the Legacy mode. Works amazingly well!!!
Just want to say I've used pretty much every Nexus 6 rom going back well over 5 yrs and this has got to be one of the if not the very best rom to date
I never thought of this before, but you could be right. The Singularity is near....
Hi everyone, I'm on CRDroid because of face unlock, was wondering if anybody tried magisk module face unlock on this lineage.

Has anyone had a chance to look into this? Lineage camera doesn't take as good pictures as the stock oneDid anyone report issues attempting to use Google Camera during testing? This didn't happen on 17.1, but I'm having an issue where the app appears to not connect with the hardware, with the end result being the settings are unavailable and the viewfinder doesn't display anything. It's not a huge issue for me, as this no longer is my primary device and the LineageOS camera does work. But it would be nice.
I'll get you guys a logcat later if needed, but the brief look I had at it revealed an informational comment in the log regarding not being able to find a symbol in a .so file.
EDIT: Additional information. If I use the "Take a selfie" or "Take a video" long-press menus both functions work. As soon as I switch to the back camera to take a still photo the app crashes.
I'll take a look. Can you file a bug report according to wiki guide with logcat?
That's pretty much a known thing. We lack the Google processing. Use an old Google Camera if you want that. Or a newer GCam port.
Does anyone else have back camera problems? Camera won't focus, blurry all the time. If any one has solved this problem please let me know. Love this ROM it's the best! 
Having carrier stability issue possibly due to apns config fix for giffgaff merged early April (14.04.21). Carrier issue (giffgaff ) also on official crDroid thread (7.5 update, April) posts #922 & #923.
To add a bit more info to Uplander's comment above, I have a Nexus 5 and a Nexus 6, both running crDroid 7.6. I understand that crDroid is based on LOS sources.
I didn't know about the Giffgaff commit until Uplander mentioned it, but the timeline makes it look as if this was the cause of the instability.
My Nexus 6 has a Giffgaff SIM. (Giffgaff is a virtual UK network running on the larger O2 network). On crDroid 7.4 (March) mobile data was stable. 7.5 and 7.6 (April/May) have a mobile data signal which blinks in and out second by second. The same happens with LOS 18.1 10th May.
My Nexus 5 has an O2 SIM. The mobile data is stable on crDroid 7.6.
To me this indicates that the problem is with the Giffgaff component.

Running into the same issue as well even with Magisk 23.0 installed and SafetyNet checks passing. "DRM Info" doesn't show Widevine at all.
Symptoms:
1. Netflix encounters error on load.
2. Disney+ encounters error on playback start.
3. Udemy videos appear to play but have no image or audio.
4. Udemy videos within Chrome attempt to play multiple times but ultimately report a video error.
No issue with YouTube or other videos on the web so does appear to be DRM related.

Perhaps you could reopen this issue:
Update (fix) giffgaff APNs (#3070) · Issues · LineageOS / issues / android · GitLab
Expected Behavior giffgaff APN details should be up-to-date and correct. Current Behavior
I encountered a small problem concerning smart lock: when adding a trusted device to keep the phone unlocked, the list of BT devices does not show the name of the devices any more, if you renamed them, like "my car" or "kitchen radio". If you run two identical devices it's hard to tell them apart in that list. LOS 17 used the personalized names there.
For anyone having issues with giffgaff (UK carrier) instability see posts #926 & #927 on official crDroid Android 11 v7.6 Shamu thread for possible workaround.
Thank you very much for this nice rom. The volume is a little low, I wonder if there is a way to raise this. however the proximity sensor does not work sometimes
I don't. Can you toss a log up according to the bug report page on wiki.lineageos.org?Does anyone else have back camera problems? Camera won't focus, blurry all the time. If any one has solved this problem please let me know. Love this ROM it's the best!
Give me the right APN and I'll push a fix.

I'll look into it! Probably easy to fix.

volume matches stock, proximity sensor die after some years, possible it's getting flakey, make sure it doesn't happen on stock too.

Introduction:
This is the Official Lineage OS 18.1 thread for the Nexus 6.
Downloads:
Please follow the install instructions in your device's Wiki page linked below exactly, and make sure your device's firmware matches the required firmware listed.
Official Builds:
Unofficial - built once a month by me, includes GApps and Pixel goodies:
If you don't follow these instructions, or use 3rd party add-ons (like Magisk) please don't expect support here.
Known Bugs:
- IMS (VoLTE/Wi-Fi Calling) doesn't work on LineageOS 16.0 and above - it's possible this feature may return in the future, though it unlikely, due to severely outdated proprietary blobs.
- Find any? Report them according to this guide.
- The only supported GApps package at the moment is MindTheGapps, linked on our Wiki page about gapps.

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.
It's really hilarious that they took /e/OS and just shilled so hard for it - when they've really just slapped a new launcher and coat of paint on LineageOS, taken our device support repos, taken MicroG, slapped it together and sold it for profit. Other privacy centric OSes really do focus on privacy - ProtonAOSP, Calyx, Copperhead, Graphene, etc etc. Either the person who wrote this was /really/ misinformed or they had a reason to paint /e/ as perfect.
Not at all saying LineageOS is perfect but dang, do they harp on weird things.886
Thank you for the tip an nudge in the right direction !!!
Here is what worked for me
1. In 17.1 turned off pin code locking in settings
2. Rebooted to twrp
3. Deleted /data/system/locksettings.db file
I didn't have any of the "*.key" files and no other locksettings.* files (probably because I had deactived pin in settings before hand)
4. flashed 18.1 zip [+gapps + magisk]
5. Rebooted
6. Started enjoying 18.1 on my shamu
