[ROM][11.0][UNOFFICIAL][M7-ALL] LineageOS 18.1 [STABLE]

[HippoInWindow]

For whatever reason, even if in the recovery it says "successfull", after flashing latest Magisk and rebooted the phone, there's no root and it says Magisk isn't installed. Why that?

Me too, tried various methods, including flashing the flashable zip, or patching the boot image and installing it via TWRP

@tarkzim I also have some random reboot into fastboot mode and I still don't know what triggers it, cause it's really random (sometimes just lock/unlock the device, or going into settings, or open a new tab in Firefox etc.).
Sometimes it just normally reboots instaed.
Another bug i found is that WiFi sometimes disconnects and never connects again, saying "unable to connect to the network", even if I delete and insert the password again (btw i use 5GHz WiFi). i need to reboot the phone for making it works again, but it's comes often even after reboots. On 2.4GHz seems to be pretty stable.
I'll try to take logs for you.

another bug I found is that when taking a photo on FootejCamera, the viewfinder freezes after taking a shot and i need to close and open it to maki it working again.

The problem with Wifi 5GHz is an well known issue and has to do with the wifi driver inside the kernel.
There is nothing you can do yet.

Hello, thanks for the all the great roms and it has been super fun to play around with an old device and use it to its fully potential.

Is the rom an LOS GO build? My "Display over other apps" option says "Feature not available" with a sub-text "This feature has been turned off because it slows down your phone". Seemed like a default behavior for Go device/roms. Wondering if this is expected as the 10 version of the rom didn't have this issue.

Yes it's a GO build, i may consider to revert it back to normal build since this feature is important to many people.

I flashed my M7 with your current ROM and everything seemed to work but with the same issues others have reported:

1. Often random reboots, sometimes to System but often into Bootloader
2. Magisk v22 zip flashes successfully in TWRP but the device is not rooted
3. Had to use OpenGapps Test version for Android 11 (BitGapps project is now closed and installs removed). FlameGapps isn't available for ARM builds.

Obviously the major issue is the random reboots.

 

[smithbill]

Tried flashing this ROM again. This time with Pico version of Test OpenGapps and restored nothing to it All seemed well. I thought I would try flashing an older version of Magisk (v20.4) but TWRP reports "unable to mount /vendor" (no idea why).

Then, after about an hour, it started rebooting itself to Bootloader where it sits. I have noticed it seems to boot to Bootloader within 30secs of unlocking the phone using Pattern unlock.

This is a great shame, because when it's not rebooting, the phone is smooth, fast & responsive.

 

[smithbill]

I'm not absolutely certain, but I've been running this ROM for a couple of hours now without any random reboots - I switched off the Pattern Screen Lock under Security Settings. So it does mean there is no security lock on my phone, but so far, it's not rebooting.

I gave up with Magisk. The SuperSU solution posted by @tariqa in post #33 seems to work fine for root access.

 

[smithbill]

I'm still finding my M7 to be useable without any random reboots after switching off pattern screen-lock. I haven't switched screen-lock back on to find out if that's what was causing the reboots, so it could just be a 'red-herring'.

Occasionally I find the UI and/or System freezes and has to be 'closed' and everything then becomes stuck/unstable & rebooting is necessary.

Apk for installing busybox (upgrade to 1.32.00 by Stericsson) for usage with SU from #33 post.

i think if the GO build have better battery performance so you better focus on GO version, because
mostly have battery problem with this phone Especially with custom ROM. thanks

I flashed my HTC One M7 with this ROM 18.1 (details see screenshot). I report following issues:

• WiFi connection issues (no 5GHz!):
  • WiFi via FritzBox7360 and 2,4GHz only mode, 802.11n+g, WPA/WPA2; M7 usage without a SIM card in flightmode (only Wifi activated).
  • I can connect to my home WiFi network, and if I use the connection/data (tested with RadioDroid stream playback) Wifi connection is stable mostly during at least 2-3 hours, also while display is off = standby
  • If m7 is in standby without data usage (=standby), in most of the cases WiFi is not connected anymore if display is switched on. Sometimes happens already after some seconds/minutes in standby, sometimes only after hours.
  • Most of the cases WiFi is automatically re-connected within some seconds after display on. But sometimes not and a manual reconnect or a WiFi OFF/ON or a restart is neccassary to reconnect.
  • I attached a logcat from Linux with adb logcat -v long > m7_wifi.txt
    (State 1: Wifi is in "won't connect anymore" mode (=BUG1), State 2: Display on/of, State 3: WiFi is manually switched OFF via status bar short cut --> WiFi connects, State 4: Wifi stays connected during ~ 1 Minute and 2-3 times display on/of, State 5: Wifi is disconnected and reaconnects only after Display is switched on (BUG2))
• Camera has reddish view in dark environment (but had it before in all ROMs used and I think it is hardware related, doesn't matter what camera app)

Anything I or you (dev) can do about Wifi-Issue (I thought it only occures in 5GHz-networks)?
Cheers, Robert

(I can't attach my logcat file .... how to do? Now managed it by making a zip from txt file, so post above....strange)

Hi, thank you for the great work. Installing LOS 18.1 unofficial on HTC One M7 (m7_ul), SIM card is not recognized. It' s not possible to make phone calls (SIM card by Wind3 ITA). I had to switch back to LOS 14.1.

Any workaround or smth I missed ?

Thanx a lot

Please stick with the GO build. If it gives me a longer battery life, I'll happily live without this feature.

 

[lovacy]

But more important: Many thanks for bringing Android 11 to good old m7. I use it as my daily driver for many years now. Today I upgraded from LOS 7.1.2 to your latest build of LOS 11. Now it's running for 6 hours without any major issues. The only thing that nags me a bit is that I can't disable vibrating when plugging in, without entirely disabling charging sounds (I just want the sound and no vibration).
The other thing is that I couldn't get magisk to work, as already mentioned in this thread.

SIM card issue resolved​

Hi, I had the same bug. But after hours of trial and error and nearly no sleep last night I got it to work. Here is how:
Install LOS 17.1 and boot to system afterwards.
The SIM should be recognized.
Boot to Recovery (TWRP) and only wipe data & cache partitions (aka: factory reset & format data).
Flash LOS 18.1
(flash GApps if you wish)
reboot -> profit

If this does not work flash one of these after doing a full wipe. Just follow the instructions mentioned there. (boot.img can also be flashed from TWRP.)
Boot to system
Flash LOS 17.1 after only wiping data & cache
Boot to system
Flash LOS 18.1 as per above

 

[lovacy]

After the reboot the phone the WIFI work only a minutes and begin the problems. I tried flashing the ROM again (17.1 and 18.0 wiping all partitions) and not working.

Maybe just wiping cache & data when coming from stock resolves your issue too.
@tarkzim is there an advantage of doing a full wipe or can not doing a full wipe lead to instabilities?

 

[lovacy]

Magisk doesn't work for me, so I got root by flashing this zip in twrp.

Thanks for providing this zip! Where did you get it from? Did you hack it yourself or is there an original source?
