[ROM][10][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 17.1 for the Essential PH-1 (mata)

[Rybo713]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 10, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

Do not lock your bootloader with this installed. You must be 100% stock, I'd suggest on both slots, in order to re-lock your bootloader.

 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community.

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.

The ROM is running great. The only missing feature I can find is a working USB data transfer connection. Only charging is working through the port.

HDMI out work fine? With leaving the house being pretty discouraged, maybe I'll give this a try. But HDMI is a must for me.

that's great, i will try in rest time

One observations on current version:

* phone and notification volume always linked

Netflix/hangouts meet working ?
What about 3rd party chargers, rapid charging supported?

No data on USB means no Android Auto

Finally got this up and running (after much banging of my head against the proverbial wall). All is smooth and excellent, with one exception (noted above): no data through USB means that Android Auto doesn't work, either.

Check Settings > Sound and look for the toggle labeled "Link ring & notification volumes." I think that will de-couple, if I'm understanding what you're talking about.

Yes, the setting is there, but even disabled the two sliders move together.

Interesting! I'm not having the same experience. For me they are working independently.

My biggest issue at this point is trying to get Android Auto to work properly.

Solved: it was GravityBox.

Thank you, but why don't you fix the MTP issue?

Thank you, but why don't you fix the MTP issue?

Unfortunately, the developer that maintains the LineageOS device tree for mata has not fixed it yet. Once it is fixed, I'll merge it in.

Does the lack of MTP for data transfer break other USB functions? Does USB OTG work? USB accessories? HDMI out?

I have only tried my USB C flash drive which works. I don't have the HDMI out connector or any USB accessories to test it.

Does 'Hey Google' work?

Bluetooth

I'm having trouble staying connected to Bluetooth and sound doesn't play on headphones.
