worked my phone, yesterday i tried clean flash but not boot, and today i tried update with sideload and worked

 

[schwedenespresso]

I updated a PL2 device from your inofficial Lineage 19.1 to this one. Worked fine. The camera flash is still not working.

Thanks for your work supporting our devices! This is a bootloop for me on DRG. (It goes directly to a black screen after the Android One logo and immediately resets. It doesn't get to the LOS boot animation.)

I tried even flashing completely back to stock before flashing the rom but got the same result. It might be an issue with your kernel since I can see the LOS boot animation for a brief moment if I flash to a non-LOS boot.img. Still doesn't boot though.

I don't know, maybe other DRG users will have better luck. I appreciate that new A13 roms are being made though.

flash lineageos 19.1 unofficial first and then update lineageos 20 via adb sideload

flash lineageos 19.1 unofficial first and then update lineageos 20 via adb sideload

I did try adb sideload in lineage recovery, but unfortunately my result was the same whether I used that or TWRP. I think a kernel issue. Maybe the kernel just disagrees with my phone. I have the China X6 6GB variant of DRG. Usually I have no trouble flashing custom roms, but come to think of it, LOS based builds have given me the same bootloop issue on this device in the past.

EDIT 11/17
Today I confirmed that lineage-19.1-20221111-UNOFFICIAL-DRG.zip works perfectly on my DRG, but even if I update from there using LOS recovery adb sideload, lineage-20.0-20221110-UNOFFICIAL-DRG.zip will not get to the LOS boot animation on my DRG. If I replace boot.img with the one from lineage-19.1-20221111-UNOFFICIAL-DRG.zip then it will show the LOS boot animation for a brief moment. Looks like a kernel issue, maybe related to my exact DRG variant (X6 6GB).

on my device worked, i tried update using lineageos19.1 official

I updated a PL2 device from your inofficial Lineage 19.1 to this one. Worked fine. The camera flash is still not working.

Hello, regarding the camera, it is quite likely that it is the kernel as such, in fact, in previous versions, LOS 18.1, 17.1, the flash worked from the camera application, but now it does not work, at the time it was published Official LineageOS for this device, the flash has never worked correctly as such (other applications were not able to take the picture with the flash on the camera due to failure in its execution) as if it did with the manufacturer's version, it is possible that the manufacturer has kept some hidden details at the code level or that the driver has not been fully released on the devices so that the developers themselves have difficulties to achieve a 100% functional version (without errors so to speak), the only solution to this problem is install a custom kernel, it seems some users with knowledge in programming found a way to solve the problem with the flash in the camera + the zoom failure as such, I have not found out if the developer would have adapted the kernel for the versions of android 13 for this specific device than if it is available for versions prior to the unofficial LOS 20 available.

Best regards

Hello everyone, for all those who have problems with their recovery (nothing is displayed, but it feels like it works internally), I will leave you a post that I made months ago, the recovery options should be the same for the latest versions, hopefully It is useful for you, remember that the installation process of LineageOS can last more than 4 minutes.

LineageOS recovery instructions for use build 2022-08-30 -When starting the recovery, 4 options will be presented, which are these.

1. Reboot system now.
2. Apply update 2.1)For this step I recommend selecting the first option with the power button of the device, which is by ADB 3)Factory Reset 3.1)Format data/factory reset 4. Advance 4.1) advanced options, with this image it will serve to guide you in how many clicks you have to press to access the option with the power button of the device to access one of these options.

Best regards

I'm happy for your man, but it isn't going to work on my DRG. I tried everything, and I am a long-time rom flasher and know what I'm doing. The kernel in this rom will not boot on my specific variant of DRG. I've had issues similar to this with certain roms in the past. There seem to be subtle differences between my DRG and the one that most people have. Most other roms will work on my phone, but occasionally some come with a kernel that will not boot on my phone. It just bootloops immediately after the Android One logo. Doesn't even get to the rom boot animation.

I will try again when the next update is released. It sounds like there are still more changes to the kernel coming.

are you on android 9 or 10 firmware?

And no, no kernel changes coming.

Mine should be 10 firmware since I updated to the last DRG OTA just before flashing your ROM.

Figured it out - next build should work. give it like, 4 hours.

Yep. Whatever you did worked! Booted on my DRG. Haven't tested everything yet, but so far seems great.
Thanks! You are one dedicated dev!

So what is everyone using for the camera on this rom? I'm having the common issue where I can only take a few pics before the shutter stops responding, and the phone needs to be restarted before I can take any more pics. Same issue with both gcam and even the camera included with the rom. (DRG)

 

[Joz~]

I have the same camera issue, any solution for DRG?
