[ROM][13][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 20 - microG [OnePlus Nord/avicii]

[likenatural]

The fingerprint scanner does not work properly, once 90Hz is forced. Not possible to unlock the screen from the first attempt.

Think this is not related to 90Hz in my case. With dark mode on, this happens, can't unlock most of the time. With dark mode off, works fine. Otherwise a great rom for daily driver. Thanks.

Maybe but according to the developer of this ROM, it's just in your imagination... All fixed and nobody has that issue.

I use the ROM as a daily driver myself and gotta say that FOD works even with dark mode enabled.

Anyways you are welcome to join my telegram group. We can try to look at your problem in detail.

On a side note: when entering FOD mode the phone will always use 60Hz. I set it to be like that because in 60Hz mode the FOD detection rate is higher. When fingerprint got detected your phone will use the mode you set in display settings.
This means that technically your FOD detection rate can't be worse when you enable 90Hz mode in settings.

Are you using microG or vanilla ROM?

Microg

Have removed naptime app, and this fingerprint problem is not seen much after that. May be because of naptime freezing some system components, which is not loading properly during unlock. Thanks dev and all for the support.

Im running the rom now on my new Nord. Everything seems to work fine for now. Let's see what the battery lifetime will be. One question: How do you flash additonal zips? I tried flashing openGapps and Magisk with the supplied lineage recovery but that didn't work, so I did the following:

- Flash lineage recovery
- Flash vanilla lineage os
- Boot the testing TWRP available recovery from XDA
- Flash openGapps and Magisk there

This worked fine. Should it also work in lineage os recovery?

Hi @MajorP93 great work so far! However, just wanted to ask a few questions before I flash.

Does this work with the latest OOS firmware 11.1.6.6? AC2003 - AC01AA

Is it possible to use OOS camera with this ROM? Is it pre-installed in this build? Wide angle/macro/4k 60fps working fine? Third Party apps camera ok?

Banking apps, all ok? With or without Magiskhide?

Thanks and hope your build becomes official!

Hi!
I'm thinking about switching to your build as the stock rom doesn't support 5G (n78) for my provider (o2 germany).
Does 5G work for that band with your build?

5G was working with Vodafone (DE) on OxygenOS 11 and also with this Rom.

Microg

Passing Safety Net check on microG is not possible at this moment.
Not because of the ROM but rather because of microG.
You can still enable the "SafetyNet" option in micro services core app which will enable most of the apps that require safety net to work.

Flashing OpenGapps is supported in LineageOS recovery. Instructions can be found in the second post of this thread.
Flashing magisk zip in LineageOS recovery is not supported.
Extracting boot.img from ROM zip (by dumping the payload), patching it with magisk and flashing it using fastboot is the recommended method for installing magisk.
Your method (booting/flashing TWRP after LineageOS has been installed successfully) also works.

Hi!
Yes, you can flash this ROM when you are running OOS 11.1.6.6.
OOS Camera is not included in this build.
There are download links and instructions for installing GCam in my telegram group (link to the group can be found in the first post).

Regarding banking apps: in vanilla ROM banking apps are working after OpenGapps have been installed.
In microG ROM most banking apps work after enabling safety net in microG services core app.
Magiskhide is only required if you rooted your phone.

Best regards

Are you perhaps planning on building/maintaining LOS 19?

 

[MajorP93]

Yes.
I already did some preparations and will work on porting it to the Nord once the stable version is officially released.

 

[MajorP93]

Changelog:

Both versions:
- Android security patch november 2021

[Hiajen]

Updated without any issues, thanks for your work!

 

[arminnnq]

Yes.

Thanks for the answer. Can you tell by now whether or not the update to LOS 19 will require a clean flash with wiping data, or will we be able to flash as an update?

 

[errdos]

Thanks for the great ROM!!!
installed it 2 days ago so not much of usage miles but I can give my two cents if people comes across the same issue that I had.

1. fingerprint didnt work sometimes when opening the phone
   problem: ambient screen caused the screen to be too dark and fingerprint didnt recognize. (you can see that if you close and open it few times the screen is lighter and it works)
   solution: disable ambient screen
2. root and safetynet check
   problem: wanted to install magisk with safetynet passing
   solution:
   1. extract paylaod.img from zip.
   2. use https://github.com/vm03/payload_dumper to extract boot.img
   3. copy boot img to phone and patch it via magisk app
   4. use fastboot to load via this boot img (test that everything is ok) and use magisk to direct install it on to phone boot.img
   5. install props model in magisk and run it via tmux to solve safetynet.

hope that helps other people with the same issues as me~
good luck.

I'm very excited to try this over the weekend. My Nord has been a massive disappointment compared to my 3T. With the factory firmware, the WiFi and Bluetooth somehow got in each others' way, and my Bluetooth connections kept dropping. Since then, I've been using the official LineageOS 17.1 nightlies which solved that problem but have problems of their own e.g. Google Assistant button not working.

As this is LineageOS as well, might I be able to do a dirty flash, just deleting cache? I really want to try it but the whole thing of going through a Titanium Backup, needing to back up some apps and not others, is just painful...

Hey,
it is highly recommended to perform a clean flash when switching to a new major release version of Android.
(LineageOS 17.1 is based on Android 10 while LineageOS 18.1 is based on Android 11).

You would most certainly encounter problems when performing a dirty flash upgrade.

I can recommend "Migrate" app from play store for this process. It will backup your apps, data, contacts, calendar entries, SMS, call logs and store it in a flashable zip.
After installing LineageOS 18.1 you can flash this zip using the "Migrate flasher" app.

Please note that you will need the vanilla version of this ROM in addition to OpenGApps Nano for Google Assistant to work.
You can find the instructions in the second post of this thread, just use Nano instead of Pico.

Best regards

Thanks. Just out of interest, what's the main difference between wiping data and using an app like Migrate - doesn't the app restore all the data?

Good work man, do you think you'd ever be willing to make build instructions for LOS 18.1 on the Nord? I understand it may not be practically possible if the changes you have made are fairly specific.
