[OFFICIAL][X82X&X910][TREBLE] LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11) for LeEco Le Max 2

Search This thread
As far as I know OTA does not work with TWRP on LOS 17/18. You need to have LOS Recovery.

Update with TWRP is a manual prozess:

- Download the LineageOS zip(s).
- Copy the LineageOS zip to internal sdcard.
- Reboot to TWRP.
- Flash LineageOS. (Wiping Dalvik and Cache is optional, but recommended).
- Reboot to system.
On LOS 17 the auto-updater works fine with TWRP. I've done it multiple times.

Can anyone confirm that it doesn't work in LOS 18.1 with TWRP installed?

Heyyo @origin_de , thanks for answering that question (y)

@Luis4x4 , what you reported are known bugs as listed for x910 as I have listed in the second post of this thread.


For the fingerprint not working when the device is asleep bug? I did try release modified x910 device firmware that uses x2's modem firmware as custom ROMs require EUI ROM 19s or higher device firmware for the fingerprint sensor to work when the device is sleeping.

If you want to try it and report back if it helps? Here it is

Amazon app works without any problem since first unofficial releases.

In regards to individual sms notification sounds I think the default app only uses system default sounds.
found the problem. It was adaway that was blocking amazon ads and that's why it keeps crashing. Whitelist amazon in adaway and fixed the problem or just turn off adaway before using amazon

Hi Friend

Thanks, but I think the problem is with the sensor. It does not work for me with a stock ROM. "Hardware not installed" message

Do you know if the x900 sensor is valid for the x910?

I really like the on screen navigation buttons there is just one thing missing.. You can't hide the buttons. So a pretty please to the developers: Please ad a hide button to the navbar.

Heyyo @tr0ubles0me , afaik manong is the only other x2 user who has that issue... have you tried different USB cables or chargers by chance? I think manong said it's when he uses the LeEco quick charge block that he has.

@JoveBoy , I think it does hide on-screen buttons, but only on apps it thinks are in fullscreen mode but I'll check

Heyyo, a new test build is going up! I'm uploading it meow so it might take 10 minutes to finish uploading after this post and link in the first post of this thread. lineage-18.1-20210606-UNOFFICIAL-x2 contains some media codec definition fixes by CrisBalGreece to test out in any app with video capabilities (playback and recording) and also fixes the Instagram video playback issue.

@ShaboohShoobah can you please explain more? Does the same problem happen on stock ROM?

Stock camera app vs Gcam

P.S
Anyone know a good music app that has a search button and works with Viper4Android ??
There are a lot of apps that Viper just does not detect when i play music with them.

This problem is factory.
There is no way to fix it.

@ShaboohShoobah , if your FP sensor is dead? You will need to replace the hardware. There is a guide in the guide section with pictures if you want to buy the fp sensor hardware and replace it yourself

Tbh? I'm unsure if I'd buy a new LeEco device given how abruptly support for LeEco devices ended previously... so I'm unsure about any of their commitments to software updates... that, plus no idea how their UI will be... will it be more like AOSP which I love? Or will it be more like MIUI or ZUI and be some garbled thing attempting to be an Apple flavor of Android?

    LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restores the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.



    All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.

    Heyyo my fellow x2 users,

    So an update on LineageOS 19.0 for x2... Tbh? It's not looking good. Android 12 requires Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) support and it seems only 4.9 kernel is officially supported, but it seems it can be backported to potentially work on 4.4 kernels. The major issue there? We are on 3.18 kernel, so we're too old to support it... So there's a chance that LineageOS 19.0 might never go official for us... Plus we have stability issues where our screen doesn't always wake from sleep. Oof.

    So our options are? Someone (or I somehow without any proper kernel knowledge) get 4.4 kernel stable for us and we add support for the eBPF backports.

    Or, we leave x2 on LineageOS 18.1 official until LineageOS team drops support for it and I focus my efforts for x2 on a different ROM that allows disabling eBPF on our very legacy 3.18 kernel and just live with the intermittent black screen issues when waking the device... One annoying issue with this besides that screen wake bug is we wouldn't have any internet usage tracking, so you wouldn't know how much data you have used...

    Or, once LOS 18.1 official builds end? I can continue doing unofficial builds. Maybe do them once a month when security updates are backported? There are some legacy LOS branches that still get Android Security Bulletins when LOS team members backport them.

    So it is unfortunate for us... LeEco msm8996 has had a great run, but future support was never guaranteed on legacy devices, but I still plan on maintaining x2 in one form or another.

    So an update... AICP definitely merged something and they broke Bluetooth for me as it keeps crashing so boot fails... I've been trying to figure out what the heck this is for the last month and so I think I'll just give up on their s12.1 branch and go to t13.0 and see if I can get that working as I'm hoping they don't have whatever gross Bluetooth haxxs on there... worst case Ontario? I just jump to a different ROM because this is getting frustrating...

    Heyyo, the official build for today was broken and I had it taken down. Sorry for anyone affected. I'll try to do a local build and check if it's our sources or if it was a build server issue

    Frequently Asked Questions


    • I've been asked to provide logcat, how do I do that?
      You can either root and use an app like MatLog, or if boot logcat is required? You will need adb logcat from a PC. Here's a simple guide from the LineageOS Wiki https://wiki.lineageos.org/logcat.html
    • My lock screen crashes after reboot, what should I do to fix it?
      https://xdaforums.com/le-max-2/how-to/guide-to-fixing-x2-lockscreen-crash-t3918911
    • I don't see an option for call recording, what's going on?
      Only the stock dialer app supports it. If you install a Gapps package that overwrites the stock dialer app? It won't have call recording as well. Only the included dialer app of LineageOS is compatible to call recording since it needs to be a ROM implementation and I haven't seen a Play store app that adds support for custom ROM call recording. Please also note that call recording is blocked for countries and carriers that have laws against any form of call recording.
    • What is Power-off Alarm?
      This feature allows you to set an alarm clock with the stock clock app included with LineageOS and then turn off the phone, and it will boot up a minute before the designated alarm time and then properly alarm. It works with the device either powered off and also offline charging. :)
      Using a clock app from OpenGapps Stock or from the Play store is not compatible with custom ROM implementations of power-off alarm... So consider this your heads up if you didn't know that already... As I am not responsible for anyone being late for their wedding/work/school/vacation if you tried a non-stock clock app with your LeEco msm8996 device powered off. :silly:
    • What apps are recommended with the Open Source ConsumerIR?
      Zaza Remote (only with selinux enforcing) and Mi Remote work great. Smart Remote for Sharp TV also works. I'd recommend avoiding Peel Universal Smart Remote as it hijacks the lock screen with ads...
    • Pls sir, I can't connect to my network or IMS/VoLTE doesn't work! What can I try?
      Please look below at the "APNS Update from Google" section and try that. I can't offer much else for help sorry as I have zero experience with IMS/VoLTE as Canada blacklists BYOD from that feature... Otherwise, if you need extra help? Hopefully, someone else in the x2 community can give you advice.
    • What is the difference between the official LineageOS builds and unofficial?
      Unofficial test builds are builds I put out to test changes before I push them to the Official builds... So please stick with Official builds if you want to play it safe... But if you wish to help test and provide feedback on changes before they go official? Unofficial test builds are the best way to do so.
    • Where is the QuickCharge toggle?
      Settings > System > Advanced > LeEco Settings
    • The rear-facing camera won't focus, what should I try?
      Please go into Settings > System > Advanced > LeEco Settings, and then enable the focus fix. You may need to restart any open camera app or potentially reboot the system in order for the focus fix values to work... If that doesn't resolve it? Please try EUI ROM... If it still won't focus? I'm sorry, but your hardware camera actuator is defective and you either need to try the Le Max 2 rear camera magnet trick (please Google it) or replace the rear camera hardware.
    • Why is our Widevine level only L3?
      Unfortunately, Widevine L1 failed to work correctly on X2 and zl1/0... It would report we have L1 hardware support but vp9.secure and avc.secure codecs were failing to render, thus apps that used L1 like Amazon Prime would error out and revert to L3 and worst-case scenario apps like Vudu would crash.
      I haven't seen any fixes for those codec issues, so I gave up on it as L3 works fine.
      Also, Netflix HD will never work on LeEco devices as they never got them "Netflix certified" which sounds like a money-grab move since L1 is all they should need. For example, Asus Zenfone 5z is L1 certified but not "Netflix certified" just like we are and they don't get the option to stream in HD.
      This explains it a lot better
      https://androidpcreview.com/netflix-hd-android-tv-box/
    • My device doesn't show any apps in the Play Store what should I do?
      https://lineageos.org/Google-Play-Certification/
    • exfat does not work on LineageOS, what is up with that?
      LeEco Le Max 2 does not ship with exFAT licensing so we are not allowed to incorporate it in LineageOS Le Max 2 builds. This was tested by both CrisBalGreece and I. If by chance there is an OFFICIAL EUI ROM build that includes exfat? Please let me know so I can test it as well... Here are the LineageOS device charter requirements on exfat
      https://github.com/LineageOS/charter/blob/master/device-support-requirements.md#exfat-support

    KNOWN BUGS for x2 and max_plus
    • WiFi randomly disconnects when the device is asleep
    • Lockscreen may sometimes fail to unlock after a reboot (seems to mainly happen when the battery is low and power-saving mode is on. The workaround is to reboot again and it will unlock. Please note, this is NOT related to the lock screen crash bug where it always fails to unlock due to the encryption footer getting corrupted by an old beta build of TWRP. The fix for that is still in the lock screen crash fix thread I have linked up in the FAQ.)
    • Updating using the built-in LineageOS updater with TWRP as your recovery when encrypted causes Google Play Services to crash repeatedly (Lineage Recovery works without issue or updating manually via TWRP is fine though)
    • Microphone and button on 3.5mm headsets using the 3.5mm to Type-C adaptor only works with reversed orientation (IE, official LeEco adaptor with the logo facing downwards)
    • Dual-role USB does not work (our Type-C port can't detect if it should offer the option to host data transfer, charge the other device, or charge while using Aux out).
    • Taking a photo during 4K UHD video recording produces a photo with green static instead of a photo. This bug only happens in Snap camera... Google Camera Mod and Open Camera (with Camera API v2 enabled) produces pictures without issue.
    • Infinity focus not working (for panoramas, AR and some QR code scanners. Infinity focus also doesn't work in EUI ROM hmm... oddly enough some imx230_lg modules infinity focus can work if you don't need focus fix... so I blame LeEco for the messed up camera haxxs they did since s2 and zl1 have the same issues.)

    KNOWN BUGS for max_plus
    • ES9018 Hi-Fi Audio DAC for 3.5mm headsets to Type-C adaptors does not work (this is the bug that is preventing official unified builds of LineageOS of x2 and max_plus...)
    • Fingerprint does not work when the device is asleep (this is due to the ancient device firmware on max_plus being officially stuck on 13s... there is a pseudo 466d modem firmware fix attempt I made but have not received feedback on yet)
    • Boot animation does not work unless you tap the power button twice to turn the display off and on again (this is due to a fix for screen tearing... maybe one day I'll figure out a fix for boot animation to work with the screen tearing fix)
    • When launching a camera app, viewfinder goes green for a second and then works normally
    • After using the USB port with Type-C headset or OTG with a flash drive, the device cannot charge until a reboot is performed (known bug even on EUI ROM)

    APNs Update from Google

    This is an optional update if the current APN settings from LineageOS might not be up to date for your carrier and you need newer ones. This is the official APNs list from Google.

    After flashing it? Please reboot to system and then go into Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile Internet > Advanced > Access Point Names > "..." menu button > reset to default.

    https://sourceforge.net/projects/lineageos-for-x2/files/Mods and Tweaks/APNs Update from Google/

    The official Google source git for this file can be found here:
    https://android.googlesource.com/device/sample/+/refs/heads/master/etc/apns-full-conf.xml

    Please note! This APNs list WILL get overwritten by the ROM on any ROM update and will need to be reinstalled.
