[OFFICIAL] LineageOS 20 for the Google Pixel 4 XL

[npjohnson]

@npjohnson HI can you please post the sources for your unofficial build its against the xda forum rules since you are providing 2 different versions of lineageOS so you should provide sources for both not just official which is not even released, The title of this thread says official and the official is not even released yet but an unofficial build so either create a different thread with unofficial version and add the sources for it and whenever official lineageOS is available create a different thread, Or add the sources for unofficial build as well in this thread.

Which ever device i had i have always went through the source codes of all custom i used mostly lineageOS and i hope you dont get me wrong. i do a lot of research on custom roms and i need to understand why if something feels wrong.

i will contact the moderators of this forum as well for more information.

Wow. Threaten me right off the bat with contacting moderators?

Hilarious. Stuff like this genuinely makes me dislike doing this.

Let me address these individually:

1. The official kernel source I link is the /only/ one there is - and I might add - the kernel is the only one that is a GPL component that has to be released.

2. For your information, by choice, not by license, all sources for the official AND unofficial are public.

Next time you want to threaten someone, do some preliminary research first - this is linked in multiple places - and I will take a moment to say, none of this is legally required to be released as it's all either apache or proprietary licensed, I do the work, structure, package, and publisize it because I believe in FOSS. https://gitlab.com/oddsolutions

3. Seriously - I can't state enough how annoying threats are when it's a hobby - if you'd just said "hey, is there any kernel source difference in the unofficial? If so can I have it?" - I would have just said "No differences, but enjoy all the other stuff I open sourced too!"

That said, have fun, I'm off to enjoy my Thanksgiving vacation

EDIT: One additional piece here - the officials were supposed to launch a month ago - our infrastructure people have been struggling to get signing to work - 20.0 will literally launch randomly some day soon when they figure it out - so I made the threads to get feedback from users ahead of time on device-specific bugs so that when the official launched, I just un-strike through the download link and let people enjoy.

Hi! I made a carrier file commit under your coral vendor GitHub can you please review if it is correct and then merge it?

sadly don't think we'll be merging this, did you make this profile yourself? Why is it needed? We usually don't do this sort of change.

Hey @npjohnson I am so sorry if you took this the wrong way It was never a threat bro and never will, I appreciate your hard work and all your doing for the community so please don't take this as a threat rather a misunderstanding, All I want to understand is the link to the source is for linked to official kernel source since you know unofficial builds does not pass safety net and never did so in order to do that framework-base and few other pieace of the source code needs to be modified so all I am saying is the source for the unofficial build should be provided as well jot just official.
Every developer here provides the links to the source code, How is that a threat bro?
If I do something Like this you can tell me the same thing and I would never take it personally and I will always provide links to all the source code.
Everyone has the right to inspect the source code tell me If I am wrong?

You are wrong on that point.

From a legal perspective, there is no "right" to inspect source code.

You may want to go read about licenses a little bit. Android - the frameworks and system side, is licensed Apache2 - which just states that you can use it - has no requirement to be published - at all - ever wondered why we don't get source for Samsung OneUI? Because they don't legally have to.

The linux kernel, and a few other pieces of external modules are GPL licensed, which requires release of accompanying source code, which is linked as per the kernel source in the OP to comply with XDA requirements that GPL modules be linked in the OP.

Again, regardless of that - I provide the source code anyway.

I use a tool called ih8sn to pass safety net - if you looked at the link I provided in my last post, you'd see that, and find a link to coral's specific configuration to use with it.

I even provide nice prebuilt local_manifests that you can snag and sync to build this 1:1 with ease.

I saw that and I have no issues with passing safety net I built my own version of libeageOS with safety net passed and fee other minor changes and I appreciate all your work.
I am here to learn I am not a pro dev but still learning to my understanding and how I think I care about everyone not just me so let's say someone builds a custom rom and implements some malicious code how can one know or anyone would know if the source isn't there to inspect?
As you know these days we use out cellphone's for everything from browsing the web to banking, I hope you get my point my bro and I am here to learn not argue or disrespect you or anyone.
Rather then saying I am threatening you you can just point me to the right direction and teach me isn't why we all developers here for to learn from each other and resoect each other.

I hope we become friends and learn from each other and make the world a better place

And I am sorry I shouldn't have involved the moderator we all make mistakes.

No worries - have a happy holiday season - the org I linked will give you a good idea of how it all ties together - I even organized the manifests so if you want some parts you can just snag them.

Thanks bro and you as well and I am looking forward to working with you of course if you wanted and forgave me for this

These configuration files can turn on the volte of Chinese operators and support all Chinese operators. These configuration files are extracted from the magisk module file I used. That's it

In hindsight, this explains why it was silly for me to ask about dirty-flash upgrading - LOS 20.0 was already ready to go by the time you started your unofficial with-GApps builds. There wasn't any additional migration/etc work left to implement.

I'll keep this in mind for the future - you don't start LineageOS threads here until migrations are ready.

Thank you for your patience with my and others' questions, and for keeping the coral alive! (And for your work on shamu, my previous and still fully working phone.)

YUP, its why I quite baking ROMs a long time ago! I appreciate your work, so please don't give up!

 

[darkpower_4]

Dude your build is the best I've ever ran on a pixel or Nexus phone from first off no hiccups nothing everything works aside from proprietary stuff which is totally understandable keep up the great work! As soon as I get some extra moolah I will shoot it your way for sure!

 

[thaimaduc]

how to fix clock position in the status bar? It's a little bit to the left

 

[YulNicolai]

It is possible to implement Motion Sense?

 

[hardwareadictos]

Good afternoon.

Is it possible to use your unofficial rom to make the extract-files guided process to build lineage 20 myself?

Thanks in advance

 

[npjohnson]

yeah, but it is way easier to just use gitlab.com/the-muppets.

Sadly i don't see any coral vendor there:

I'm searching on the correct org?

GitLab.com

Thank you in advance (syncing your vendor https://gitlab.com/oddsolutions/android/proprietary_vendor_google_pixel for the moment EDIT: this one seems a generic pixel repository, not a coral one)

EDIT2: never mind... found it on github: https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_google_coral

 

[hardwareadictos]

One question: Are los20 branches on official repos buildable?

Having a weird error buidling kernel modules:

Almost everything seems to be working in the December 10th builds - thank you!

However, I have run into the Pixel Launcher crashing any time I try to open an app from the launcher, trigger the Recent Apps switcher, or activate a widget (e.g. Tasker shortcut, Sleep as Android droid widget), whether I pick gestures or 3-button navigation. This makes switching apps.. difficult.

Clearing data for the Pixel Launcher does not fix the issue.

I've switched to 3-button navigation for now so at least the Home button works consistently.

If there's anything that'd help with debugging, let me know!

EDIT: the 2022-12-10 builds (and all other downloads) have been removed. I would advise against upgrading to the 2022-12-10 update unless you have a backup of an older build to revert to (e.g. lineage-20.0-20221121-UNOFFICIAL-coral.zip).

EDIT 2: @npjohnson has committed a fix to the OddSolutions repository:

google_pixel: apps: Update NexusLauncher to QPR1 (89802aec) · Commits · oddsolutions / Android / proprietary_vendor_google_pixel · GitLab

* I'll update the rest too, but for now this gets gestures working again.

gitlab.com

Thank you for the quick response! I look forward to the fixed build whenever it is ready (no rush).

 

[江灵z]

Gesture navigation cannot be invoked

 

[digitalcircuit]

Hallelujah! The latest build (2022-12-12) fixes the launcher!

Not just gesture navigation, but now widgets work again, and I can switch apps again (the latter two things had broken even with 3-button navigation).

I appreciate this quick fix. It's much nicer to use my phone again.

@npjohnson
Thanks for your efforts and updates! Highly appreciated. Concerning the 2022-12-12 update. The now playing feature is missing .... or did I miss something?
Thanks
