@jal3223 were you ever able to reproduce your process for getting a custom ROM working on Verizon? If so could you do a write up?

On an earlier build it was working for me. I just flashed the latest stock build provided by Razer, went through the setup, then preceded to install Lineage. Nothing special. I haven't tried any of the latest builds though. I have moved on with my primary device.

Just noticed this, I normally dont take more then one photo, but after the 2nd the Razer Camera app crash's and the last picture taken isnt saved, I wanna say this didnt use to happen.

Anyone use a different camera and have this issue?

Anyone can use call recording feature? I already tried default call app and Google dialer (forced enable call recording), both told me recording failed.
 
I've been on the 09/01 build for a while. Everything works as expected with no real problems. I haven't had a chance to update my installation even though 2 updates were available (16/01 and 23/01).

Yesterday morning on my way to work, I've had the device playing audio with no problems. A few hours after that I started experiencing audio failure on my device. Let me explain, the audio works but freezes the device.

I would playback a voice message and it would first freeze for a second or two when the play button is pressed, thereafter it would play 2 seconds, freeze, play 2 seconds, freeze. I initially thought it may be a problem with WhatsApp, but this clearly extended far beyond that. My audio player did the same thing. I received a call from my boss, and there it did the exact same thing. This leads me to believe that something caused my audio drivers/hardware to just come crashing down.

I have no funny business going on on my device. All apps come through the Play Store, and those with root (su) access are extremely limited. I haven't installed any apps or modules that could directly be responsible for this. I'm a software dev by trade so I am extremely wary of where my apps come from.

I reflashed the 23/01 build and so far so good. Has anyone else experienced an episode like this?

I'm just scared that in a week or two it starts doing it again. It seems the issue is related to audio only and when you go to Settings -> Sounds, it takes a few seconds to open the menu. I'm worried that this is a compacting issue where something goes wrong and it builds up and builds up until this happens.

Tried auto-brightness again, still broken.

As for other posts I have seen about the screen freezing until a force restart on VIDEO, I had that happen yesterday, but not on "video" as it normally is, I was scrolling Discord and there where 2 GIF's, froze on that screen and refused to respond until force power off and restart, THAT is an interesting bug

I tried many option, but it still failed. If u can make it work, plz tell me which option ur using.
And I found the default call app and Google dialer both don't use write storage permission after I test. Wonder why they intend to record but don't request write permission to write files....

This works very well. But it really needs exfat support for SD Cards. This is a gaming phone and with the new AetherSX2 app I want to have PS2 iso on the SD Card.

Any hope in the future?

I am having some really weird battery problems on the latest update 18.1 android doesn't recognize its charging so I don't get fast charging or the charging sign at the top right but my percentage will go up. If it's plugged in it will show in the app ampere that it is in fact charging just really slow. My battery has been stuck at 44% like its the max it will go.

If you know any fixes that would be great.
Thank you.

--edit I tried resetting the rom through in the lineage Recovery thinking maybe it just needed a refresh and now there is absolutely no connection from fast boot and the rom is taking so long it's killing the battery while it's plugged into a fast charger. I have all the drivers and it doesn't show up in device manager, not in lsusb I wanted to try the flash all to get back to stock razer but nothing just doesn't recognize the connection.

AetherSX2 app crashes with the latest update. Not sure what the issue is. All other games and emulators work fine. This seems like a problem on Lineage OS. Stock and Pixel Experience run the app just fine.

Hello!

Installed this just yestarday and found a small issue: When enabling color inversion in the accessibility menu, or changing the "Colors" setting under Display, the phone will seemingly soft-reboot forever. My estimate is that the compositor can not handle something. Either that, or something else... Luckily, Android 11 has system wide dark mode, so most apps will work without color inversion. Still, it was odd to find this one out.

Also there does not seem to be TWRP available... that's unfortunate.

Thank you very much for your work, this phone is amazing and I even had found a deal with the Junglecat controller for a mini-switch. Aside from that one bug, everything runs smoothly as it should!

Kind regards,
Ingwie

Yes I can replicate the above colour option reboot loop. I just tired changing the colour profile and got the bootloop. I was unable to get out of it and had to do a full re-install.

Also the PS2 emulator (AetherSX2) still crash when opening a game even with the latest update. Can it please get looked at. I really only need to use this phone for gaming so I would like to know why the app suddenly started crashing. Otherwise great work.

Any chance we could get an update on the freezing on video and gif playback? This is a pretty critical issue, and I know it was stated previously that it was a dead end, but I'm optimistic something can be done eventually. I appreciate everything you guys do, thanks a ton to every contributor.

Is anyone using a VoIP app on this ROM? If so, any issues? Currently using Pixel Experience and when using either Streams UC (our phone service provider) or Signal there is an issue with inbound calls. I can call out and the other party can hear me and I can hear them, but if I answer an inbound call the person on the other end can't hear me. Seems to be an issue with the mic being called or activated.

Thanks for the work on this. I've been using it for a couple weeks now. Just now, I changed the colors option in the settings to saturated and the device immediately rebooted into a bootloop. Is there any way to fix this without wiping everything?

in settings\display when I change the color setting to saturated it starts to reboot until I factory reset it by recovery :cry:
Having the same issue and also made a post about it here. It also effectively blocks the color inversion accessibility option, sadly... still hoping for this to be adressed. Everything else seems to work fine. Got Magisk and microG working. :) So this really *is* the only bug that I know of right now. Also protip, Logo+ works!

I have figured out a solution that does not require a factory reset.
Execute the following commands:

Code:
adb shell
su
settings put --user 0 system display_color_mode 0

su should be optional, but just in case.

--user 0 should refer to your main account, which is most likely 0.

display_color_mode 0 - the 0 refers to the zeroth option on the colors list (aka natural). It can be any value from 0, 1 or 3 (since 2 = saturated!)

Note that you might need to execute the settings command multiple times because the settings command-line tool isn't initialized until the end of the bootloop.

    Hello everyone and happy new year!

    It took a long time, but I finally found time to debug the issues, so next build should contain fixes for the following bugs:
    * Flashlight not working
    * Rear camera using telephoto lens instead of normal lens

    There will also be a new setting implemented in Display settings, where you can select refresh rate (supports switching between 30/40/48/50/60/90/120 fps)

    Next I'll be looking into integrating chroma RGB settings and continue working on android 12.

    After almost one whole year since I got the device, bringup is finally done and we can enjoy a newer android version than stock 9.0.

    Builds will be available once next weekly build cycle starts.

    Thanks to the people that donated for the device and thanks to @npjohnson for all the testing and figuring out some issues.

    So far there are five major aura-specific bugs that stand out to me that have yet to be resolved, two of which have gitlab issues created for them. I will try and capture the camera bug and logcat it, and see what I can do for the other bugs.

    For a refresher:
    • Flashlight does not work, the button in the status bar pull-down menu tray says the camera is constantly in use and is grayed out.
    • The back camera is primarily using the wrong lens, namely the zoom lens, forcing the camera to be zoomed in at all times, making it hard to take pictures that aren't blurry and distorted.
    • There is an audio bug where if audio levels are below a certain threshold, it simply will not play any audio at all.
    • The phone completely locks up when watching certain video playbacks, and has to have the power button held down for a hard reset every time it happens. For me personally, this has happened numerous times watching videos on Snapchat, but I know it happens on YouTube and other media, like Google Photos.
    • An SD card formatted as internal storage will not allow apps to be stored on it, and when attempted a prompt will appear, saying "Not enough storage space".
    These bugs are quite a major hindrance in being able to enjoy Lineage on aura properly and a major frustration point in using the phone as a daily driver. Hopefully they can be resolved soon.
    1. Aware, looking into it.
    2. Aware, looking into it.
    3. Didn't know, looking into it.
    4. Link me a video, 4k costa rica video on youtube plays fine for me...
    5. Yeah, we weren't intended to support adoptable storage afaik, I'll go disable it.

    I might have jumped the gun creating this thread, build will be probably available on Sunday :/
