Thank you

Installed without issues coming from an android 12 rom. Sim card took a minute or two to register during initial startup but no problem afterwards. Everything seems to work no problem although Google pay does not work out of the box. Thank you for your work, Pixel 2 xl is alive and well

Hello, what do you mean by this? Its not working by default?
Does it support OTA? and I couldn't find official download, only unofficial.

Thanks!

Correct, google pay tap does not work by default. I would imagine magisk and some modules are required to pass safety net or CTS checks(sorry I don't know much about this topic on android 13) Only unofficial for android 13 for lineage looks like. OTA I have no clue as I adb/fastboot clean everytime

Since LOS doesn't allow reporting bugs on unofficial builds so I guess I can put it here.

Expected Behavior
Unlocking phone from either lock screen or screen-off state should working normal.

Current Behavior
SystemUI crashes after unlocking from lock screen if the previous unlock was done from screen-off state.

Possible Solution
Replace the default Pixel Launcher.

Steps to Reproduce
1. Lock the phone
2. Fingerprint unlock without wake the screen up
3. Lock the phone
4. Wake the screen
5. Unlock with either FP or passcode

device taimen
version lineage-20.0
date 2022-11-05
kernel 4.4.302-lineage-g441dbc7fd87e
baseband g8998-00034-2006052136
mods Google Apps/Pixel goodies included with the rom

The logcat is filtered from "com.android.systemui" and "com.google.android.nexuslauncher"
I suspect the animation of the wallpaper going from lock screen to home screen was causing the issue.

Yeah I just hit this when I updated Pixel Launcher right before release - build with the fix is in testing right now.

the updater forcecloses when I tried to update from 20221105 to 20221109 and from 20221109 to 20221110. I had to update with sideload.

fixed now

Thank you!
L.E. I think the new image should be renamed. It is named Lineage 19.1.

lineage-19.1-20221110-UNOFFICIAL-taimen.zip
lineage-20.0-20221109-recovery-taimen.img

L.E. 2 Also it boots with the message "Trust SELinux is not enforcing.." and it seems it doesn`t pass Safetynet tests.

I believe all android 13 ROMs are permissive unless someone can shine more light on this. Security is out the window if that's what your after on android 13. Go to arrow 12.1 if you want everything working for safetynet

Hey Dev!
Thank you for your continued support of Taimen as this phone still is a workhorse even in late 2022! I can not log into my snapchat as of the latest build, today is 11/17/22 , it says due to repeated attempts or unusual activity your access to snapchat is currently disabled. I reverted to the stock 11 rom and it worked fine! Yes I tried their troubleshooting and support to no avail. How fluently you have 13 working on here Google should still supported Taimen!!!!! Thank you I look forward to and anticipate future builds!!! I flashed back to your rom after testing logging in on 11. Also the SELinux not enforcing thing I am concerned about as well.

SELinux is permissive due to a single bug I need to solve.

And snapchat is safety net related. Enforcing might fix it alone.

 

[mo0zh222]

SELinux is now enforcing indeed! But I still get the same login message on Snapchat. Oh well ****em

 

[mo0zh222]

It's too much to flash on these things so I'll be sticking with your ROM indefinitely!

probably play protect? Idk

 

[mo0zh222]

It was enable I disable it and still nothing. It's okay really it'll shed light for me on who's really my friend if they decide to hit my up on another app or not
