[ROM][10/12] LineageOS OFFICIAL [SURYA]KARNA]

[v44r]

I also had this problem last month. I went to the advanced wipe menu in twrp, and in addition to the usual wipe options I did a "factory reset". I guess there are probably better solutions.

I thought that didn't affect /system and therefore the gapps would be restored anyway...

In any case I solved it by modifying the /install/bin/backuptool.sh script inside the LineageOS rom zip. I added a "return 1" as the first line of the check_prereq() function to avoid any backup/restore and flashed the modified zip. All good. That disables ALL backup/restore scripts, but the only other script in /system/addon.d/ is for backing up and restoring /etc/hosts, which I don't touch, so no problem.

So how can we delete the installed gapps? I want to go back to a clean lineageos but the /system/addon.d/70-gapps script backups and restores the google apps whenever I reinstall the rom zip. In the past (eons ago, in LG G3 times ) I knew I could format /system and get rid of everything, but now I can't find a way to format /system in twrp 3.5.2.

Can we fastboot erase system without any unintended consequences? I'm new to this new era of dynamic super partitions.

(edit) I should have mentioned: I haven't found a way to mount the /system partition rw either (to manually remove the damned addon.d/70-gapps.sh). Clicking on it in twrp with the switch "Mount system partition read-only" disabled does nothing. I can only mount it read-only.

TWRP is unable to operate on dynamic partitions, so format system is not possible. Use LineageOS Recovery.

New MicroG build is uploaded. Exactly same as latest build... Just microg variant. I didn't updated first post, so...

How is the battery for this Rom? I really want to change arrow os to this cause i only get 5hours SOT 60hz (and i only played two wildrift games!!!!). And what kernel is good for this rom?

 

[v44r]

It's been a long time since I last used CM/LOS (started with the HTC Desire 11 years ago, stopped when I bought the OnePlus 3 5 years ago) and... I didn't realize how much I missed it. This thing is blazing fast and smooth, and the last build with microG seems rock solid (judging by the few hours I've been playing with it). I can't believe I endured 8 months of MIUI.

I used it for 1.5 months, underclocked big and little to ~1.3ghz and can use it for 1.5-2 days. But it really depends on your usage.
Maybe you can also try a different kernel, so you can change wakelocks and governor. But for the latter, I think the integrated one should be fit the need of the most people.

With latest releases i get usually around 10 to 12h or SOT on Surya (never really, i charge daily, but that's projected bb). Karna gets to 14h SOT.

Of course yours depend on your use and signals.

Be warned that underclocking does not help with BB. Instead, it can be counterproductive. CPUs and governor is optimized for battery usage, and underclock will cause cores to run for longer at clock speeds which are less effective. Think as this: you want your CPUs to stay idle/off as much as possible. It's better to have then run at higher Ghz for less time than having them run for longer at lower Ghz. The key point here is that the actual power save comes from having cores shut down. Not running at lower speed.

I recomend not to mess with cpu clocks and watch your usage. Don't game or use GPU internsive apps like youtube / instagram... That will make the difference.

Hi gardiol, this makes sense. Thank you for your advise and intense work. Have a nice vacation!

Help please! Wiped phone for a clean install. Flashed the rom, then flashed mindthegapps and Magisk. I boot up and then hit the problem - I'm not getting a keyboard!? Any help greatly appreciated

Make a clean install with opengapps, not mindgapps...

Thanks, no luck sadly Guess I'm going to try
"If you have any issues flashing, like persistent GApps or booting issues, try to cleanup the phone with the following procedure:

• Download a full MIUI rom recovery package from XiaomiFirmwareUpdater
• ... (make sure you download the full rom package for RECOVERY, it is about 2.4Gb!) ...
• From recovery, flash the zip file. This will cleanup all the partitions.
• Now flash again this ROM."

Thankfully that sorted it out Sorry wasn't patient enough to download the 2.6GB before asking.

I've been running the 20210611 build with opengapps pico on surya for two months now and it's been working very well, except for two pretty big issues:

• All incoming calls show as "unknown number."
• Location services don't work. Oddly enough if I try the app GPS Test it gets a fix quickly and accurately, but neither Google Maps nor OsmAnd are able to get a location fix. I've tried with Google Location Services both enabled and disabled.

Maybe this would be fixed by updating to the latest version? I see that doing so would require formatting /data. What's a good way of backing up and restoring so I don't lose all settings when I do that?

Thanks for the hard work by the way gardiol, overall I love the ROM!

I'm on the 20210728 build and also have the issue of Google Maps and OsmAnd not getting a position.
Google Maps also shuts down immediately after launch for several times before staying running.

I also have the Google Maps shutdown issue.

Regarding location and google maps: the 0802 version with microG works fine here, FWIW. Maybe a opengapps issue?

Probably. On Telegram they say this issue does not appear when using MindTheGapps.

 

[vertiron]

The only gripe i have with MindTheGapps is it doesn't offer minimal (basic/core) versions. Is there a way to "reduce" the package somehow, removing all extra functionality, auto and so on like flamegapps does?

 

[Tomek0000]

I dirty flashed newest update. Location works good in maps, but maybe not the same quick like previously, but i have same Google maps crashes after first start before maps starts to run good.
I used nikgapps basic version. I lost system watch. It looks like this los uses Google watch from Gapps and maybe nikgapps does not include it. I had a problem with installing it from play, but i did it from other shop.
