[OFFICIAL] LineageOS 18.1 for the Nexus 6

Sounds like you wiped via TWRP instead of via Lineage Recovery when you installed maybe?

I wiped and installed via TWRP and have no problems. Not sure why LR would make a difference (unless it manages partitions differently)?

I suspect that a wipe in Lineage recovery is actually the same as format data in TWRP.

It is not often - we reserve space on partitions on FDE devices for encryption - TWRP doesn't sometimes.

Just a short thanks to the devs for the updates, keeping the Nexy sexy.

I do have a question - what is a firewall app of choice? I have been trying AF+ for some weeks and no matter how I tweak it, it can have trouble with WiFi, especially switching networks. If I disable, connect somewhere, then re-enable, it is fine. Just a pain. Seems ok at home, but once I start moving around, it can be a issue. This started in July - it had been fine previously. Not sure if any tweaks were added to WiFi management on the LineageOS side (does not seem so when I look through the changes).

Any thoughts welcome. Thanks

So is the complete lack of wide vine support ever going to be fixed?

?

Widevine doesn't work?

L1 or L3? We don't expect L1 to work. Our devices key was revoked.

Nope it doesn't. Drm info shows no widevine support. Unless I'm reading it wrong. There's no widevine tab at all.

Does Netflix or the like work?

Thank you for your help. No, it doesn't. Error 500.-1006.

I'll look into this. Thanks.

Thanks to Damien Nicolet and npjohnson for the DRM from angler patch that makes Netflix functional again on shamu !

Should be available to all in the next build on 2022-09-28.

On another note my shamu's 2nd battery has died after 4 years (getting the Sudden Shutdown at 54% ).

So I just ordered a new battery cause I can't let my shamu go !

Just a short thanks to the Devs for keeping all humming - big update this week.

There is an LineageOS 19/ A12 build out for Nexus 6 Shamu but I dunno, reports suggest it is not as stable as what we have here. See https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-unofficial-lineageos-19-1-for-nexus-6.4443649/page-1

Has there been any thought about an LineageOS 20 / A13 ROM?

Nope. We have kernel 3.10 without BPF support, so we can't ever properly run anything over 18.1 officially.

It will always have broken net traffic stats, app isolation, data restrictions, etc.

Replacement battery came in last saturday... Swapped it in ASAP and after 3 charge cycles accubattery says its state of health is 97% vs. the theoretical 3220mAh !

Hello,

I successfully followed the install guide and have Lineage 18.1 and MindTheGApps on my trusted Nexus 6.
However, the device is not Play Protect certified now and therefore Disney Plus or Netflix are not working.

With the known GFS ID I tried to register on google's site, but during registration my ID is not accepted (the box turns red).
What can I do in order to use these above mentioned apps?

Thanks in advance!

I'd like to report that Google Camera v3 works well on Lineage 18.1, this might be good news for those who noticed V4 is not working anymore after upgrading from Lineage 17.1.

Will there be any more 18.1 releases after 2022-10-19? Or is 2022-10-19 the last 18.1 LineageOS release for shamu?

 

[alfacrux]

If I understood correctly, then there will be monthly builds.

Just to partially answer my question:
Using Magisk can solve this issues.

How can I safely install Magisk?

I found some instructions like:
1) Download magisk.apk
2) rename it to magisk.zip
3) sideload this .zip file from TWRP
4) install magisk.apk

Do these steps also work under Lineage 18.1?
