Recognized Developer
i'm having trouble with mindthegapps. i followed the instructions given here to sideload it, however, the setup wizard gets stuck on either "getting your phone ready..." (if i connect to a wifi network) or "just a sec..." if i forgo the internet setup.

is this an issue on my end or the rom's? i genuinely don't know, so it can't hurt to ask
it works here - but uh.... you shouldn't need MTG on this ROM. This ROM has Gapps baked in.

I updated to 20230118 and the random freezing occurs more often, the device will just randomly freeze for about 10-20 seconds. On an older version it would still freeze but not to this extent.

Having the same issues here with the past few builds; it seems like it's /just the system UI that keeps freezing up? I had a video playing in Google Photos yesterday, and the video was playing fine, but I couldn't interact with anything for 5ish seconds.

For what it's worth, I disabled animations altogether in the developer options earlier today, and that seems to have helped A LOT with the random freezes. But I'm not sure how much of that might be a placebo effect/things just moving quicker without any animations running.

Try uninstalling android system intelligence, see if that makes a difference.

Tried disabling Android System Intelligence (cannot uninstall on the latest unofficial build). Turned animations back on, doesn't appear to have made a difference. Still a significant amount of freezing until I disabled animations again (there are still freezes here and there with no animations, but not nearly as bad).

That's really strange, I don't have that issue after a clean install, the only other thing I can think of that I have changed is trying a different launcher, I use Nova maybe That's why I don't have freezes/stutter, if its still happening grab some logs for Nolan

I use Nova Launcher, so I don't think that's it. I switched to a different ROM for now, but once the LOS20 builds are official, I'll give it a try again and pull some logs if I run into the same problems.

once the official 20 builds start coming out, we *will* need to add our own gapps, correct? someone asked about mindthegapps earlier and you said they were baked in but that only refers to your own rolled builds, right? is that issue with mindthegapps fixed?

    Hi sir On new builds data connectivity toggle on qs is slow also Bluetooth connection is slow and too hard to find devices please do something
    Neither of these are helpful bug reports.

    Please use the bug reports system detailed on the wiki if you have issued.

    So, you are saying that the only way to restore the RIL is by temporarily restoring the stock Google Android OS, then installing LOS 20? Too bad there isn’t a simpler way to do this. What other layers of the Android ecosystem have proprietary components requiring the temporary reinstallation of stock software to restore proper function
    Well, I followed your advice after first trying to install just the radio img file from the taimen factory image with fastboot. I hoped that might correct whatever the problem was with the RIL, but no such luck! So I had to do the full install of the factory image, which restored SIM detection as you said it would. I then installed the 0223 LOS 20 build and all appears to be well, my 2XL is currently running an app and data restore. I would like to know what might have caused this problem to occur in the first place so I can possibly prevent it from ever happening again!
    thanks for your guidance and support!

    The weekly LOS 20 updates now have three img files available to download along with the update itself. Where are any details/instructions concerning the use of these img files documented?
    Same as it was before, follow the wiki, those images are mainly for debugging issues if you have them, and maintainers may ask you to use them to debug things, but really just the exact same process you're used to following

    Good to hear!
    I have 2 taimens, one really beat up taimen I bought from ebay really cheap just for testing and my daily driver I've had from new and have ran unofficial LOS 19/20. The whole RIL issue came up with Android 13 last year when everyone first installed, it took the devs a while to sort out, one of the steps to fix was to go back to stock and reinstall A13. On my test taimen I have had to go back few times to stock as i install/switch to multiple roms.. on my daily since being on unofficial 20 I have never had to do it again, even if I had to wipe and reinstall clean again, so sticking to one seems to avoid reverting to stock.

    I don't really know why it happens changing from A12 to A13, thats a question for a dev. Remember the age of the phone, its 5+ years old and not everything is open source, qualcomm drivers etc.
    The whole Verizone texting issue i think is a rom based issue, something is missing from the rom system causing that issue but that will soon be fixed also hopefully
    So to the Verizon texting thing - I use Verizon - It worked for me fine on AN12 as soon as I went to AN13 nope. I can recieve them, and send in groups (MMS) but not direct SMS. I know its not cool talking about other ROMS here, but I came here to as my plan was to try 20 fro my Taimen. I have used Pixel Exp 13 and 13 +, PixelDust, and even tried EVO X. All still cannot do it - the only difference I can see is my SMSC # is "+19037029920",145 - my Pixel6 Pro, on Verizon - same SIM - uses SMSC# +19037029920 and it sends all SMS texts fine. I was hoping I could root and change a build prop? Unsure, but if any dev can use this info to try to help AN13 with Verizon it be great!

    Yes, you need a USB 2.0 connection. I have had success with a 3.0 port and a 2.0 cable. As for the connectivity, I suggest flashing bone stock to it, and reflashing LOS to refresh the radios and all that good stuff that needs refreshed now and then for some reason.
    I'm sure you are right about first installing the stock image, but this should not be necessary. Initializing the hardware correctly is one of the basic things operating systems do, or should do (I'm an old -- very old -- OS developer) very soon after coming to life. Why do we need the stock image to do this for 20/13? This hack, even if it works, does not exactly inspire confidence. I am going to reflash 19.1 and wait until 20 settles down.

    Thanks very much for trying to help.

    Did anyone bother to try out every recent build and see which is the latest one that works without a bootloop?
    It seems that at least
    20230106
    20230109

    are not working.

    @npjohnson I understand that devs are extremely busy people, but how available are you for this project? If you do not have much spare time, could you at least make a working ROM (that is, without bootloops) before you take a break from this project? Much appreciated!
    work trip, I'll look into it when I get back. No clue what's going on.

    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.

    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
    it will be fixed in the next build, temporary.
