Rules
- Please search the thread before asking questions
- Please try to stay on topic, I know it's not always possible

Reporting Bugs
- Please report bugs here
- Report only one issue per bug report
- When reporting bugs please post a logcat and/or dmesg containing pertinent information regarding the issue...
- Explain the issue as clearly as possible
- Explain the steps required to reproduce the issue if necessary.

Prerequisites for Installation
- Must have an unlocked bootloader
- Update TWRP to Android-7.1 builds located here. Please make sure to use the recovery image which is appropriate for your device (Thor or Apollo).

Project Status
BETA TESTING -- QUALITY IS GETTING BETTER BUT TAKE A LOOK AT THE FUNCTIONALITY GRID IN POST #2

KNOWN ISSUES
- Thor/Apollo: Some apps may rotate to landscape the wrong way leaving the screen upside down. Many times you can re-rotate the device to fix.
- Thor/Apollo: Sometimes after an extended period of time Wifi will stop working. Toggling airplaine mode fixes it.
- Thor/Apollo: Bluetooth pairing issues - bluetooth function is still WIP.

Fresh Installation
- Backup your existing ROM first
- Wipe the /data partition (but you can keep the media storage)
- Flash the ROM File
- Flash Open Gapps: use an ARM 7.1 version smaller than the "full" size to make sure it fits
- Reboot
- Enjoy!

LineageOS Developer Builds / Downloads
LineageOS Builds for Thor
LineageOS Builds for Apollo

Gapps
- Open Gapps (use a size smaller than "Full" to make sure it fits)

NOTE: Here's what I do to solve the "Play Games" side load issue... Anytime I update my GApps zip file:
- I download the "full" and "mini" versions of GApps
- Extract the "GApps/playgames-arm.tar.lz" file from the "full" file and add it to the "GApps" folder of the "mini" file.
- Open the installer.sh script in the "mini" file and move the "playgames" line from the full_gapps_list= section into the mini_gapps_list= section
- I use this modified "mini" .zip when flashing CM-14.1 ROMs so that my Play Games install always works.

CHANGE LOG

• 20161208: Initial build released
• 20161214:
  • [CM Base] merge changes for Android-7.1.1_r4
  • [CM Base] merge changes for Android-7.1.1_r6
  • [KERNEL] Updated for 38 CVEs
  • [TEMP] Turned off SElinux Enforcing due to Android-7.1.1 changes
  • [SELINUX] Initial fixes for Android-7.1.1 merge
  • [CAMERA] Fixed camera snapshot bug by enabling libs with text relocations (KitKat libs have them)
  • [BUTTONS] Fixed overlay to remove hard key settings for buttons that don't exist
• 20161215:
  • [BLUETOOTH] Updated bluetooth vendor library to latest CAF branch for Marshmallow (previously KitKat) -- seems to fix many pairing issues, though this needs testing.
  • [SCREENCAST] Updated audio policy to support Screencast (from Settings -> Display -> Cast). NOTE: A warning box is displayed on Thor saying size is not optimized. Still debugging that.
  • [SELinux] Turned on Enforcing mode again
  • (All local changes have been pushed back into CM codebase)
• 20161216: Nightlies for CM 14.1 started
• 20161230: First Thor build of LineageOS (was CyanogenMod's -- now forked for community development)
  • SElinux back to Permissive mode -- let's see if this makes functions like bluetooth and camera better

 

[Hashcode]

Future work task list:
- [Apollo] Debug rotation / wifi issues that certain users are experiencing
- Pull in more Google kernel/common changes for better compatibility
- [IN PROGRESS] Orientation and gryo sensor changes to correct odd rotation selections by apps
- Full device encryption support (requires working amazon keystore HAL)
- Audio FAST mode during low power can cause audio skipping (headphone use case w/ screen off)
- More bluetooth stack testing (may need to compile static version of BlueZ to run some tests)
- Look into changes for allowing Viper4Android integration w/o needing SU or breaking SELinux
- Re-enable thermal protection for the audio HAL. NOTE: when setting prop persist.speaker.prot.enable=true it kills all sound. Needs debugging.
- Research adding kernel commits to support double touch to wake support
- [FIXED 2016-12-22] Add volume button configuration settings back into CM
- Possibly write a bootloader firmware ID script which can be run to determine user's bootloader version
- Look into audio HAL changes which would increase volume while keeping clarity (similar to Viper4Android)
- Continue work on camera HAL from source [LONG TERM PROJECT]

First thing to testing is WIFI. I made some changes to the WIFI configuration which differs from CM-13.0.

So if you've previously experienced difficulty in this area and are willing to help test, please let me know what your experience is like.

WiFi seems to work fine for me. I did not flash any root. I am using the default one that comes with CM

I had a string of annoying issues with SuperSU v2.78 including reoccurring loss of root on CM 12.1. Drove me half nuts! Downgrading to v2.76 (terminal build by ChainFire) solved all problems. I realize 2.76 doesn't directly support Android 7 but v2.78 seems to have bigger issues. Might stick with integrated CM 14.1 privacy/root manager for now.

Agreed. Specifically: I have not tested external root at all.

I tested Thor front cam with "YouCam Perfect" found here:

Can you check that as well?

I got "camera error" with this app when trying to take a picture.

Hmm. Sounds like I may need to do some debugging. Thank you for testing.

 

[Grtschnk]

I can confirm the problem the camera. Tried a few different apps. Some are able to show the preview but none can actually take/save a picture. (Still more useful than FireOS..)

Apollo version

I realize that I flashed these CM-14.1 builds with an updated build of TWRP 3.0.2.x build from Android-7.1 sources. I'm not sure if this is required, but if needed I can upload a prebuilt version of TWRP.

ALSO: This ROM is still very work in progress. Some of the changes located in these first few builds are NOT pushed out to public repositories.

Lastly: Give feedback. Be clear and as detailed as you can when presenting bugs. Try to see if the bug can be reproduced consistently, etc.

Yes, we will need to release the new recovery. The TWRP version that I released (3.0.2-0) had issues that have since been fixed in the omnirom_bootable_recovery tree.

I have built the Apollo version, will post it if all is good later this evening.

 

[GameExpertNetwork]

WOOOO!

EDIT: when will the recovery be released?

@ggow, when will the new recovery be released? And should it be flashed before or after cm-14.1?

I'll build TWRP for Apollo and check it. I'm guessing @Hashcode will release it for Thor.
You should use the new recovery ASAP so flash and use on the next ROM upgrade.

 

[GameExpertNetwork]

Crap... so I have to wait?

No you can flash it now, with the existing Thor recovery. When the new TWRP is released upgrade when it suits you.

I had the same error as you, but the ROM seems to work fine. Could you elaborate on this restart issue? (Never heard about this before) Not sure now if I should reflash or just leave it.
