Development [ROM][12.1][ENCRYPTION][EOL] LineageOS 19.1 for A52 4G and A72

[ralanar]

This is intended to make sure the correct sim card is being picked for audio output. Can't do it any better at the moment.

I also noticed the delay. Since I have and use dual-sim capability, I really appreciate that it works at all.

I did notice, however, that if the phone is hooked to my vehicle through Android Auto, the calls go through almost immediately, with no noticeable delay at all compared to making a call with just the phone itself. I haven't tested with just a bluetooth hook-up.

I don't understand who criticize the encryption, ROMs with no encryption doesn't have a real usage in a daily life. Anytime your phone get stolen, your data just are completely open for the theft, or you make your phone around your friend he just can plug your phone in computer and copy some files.

So I've jumped from Pixel Experience to LineageOS. I'm finding it more stable for me personally.

However, I've noticed the FOD on AOD is a bit buggy. It sometimes doesn't turn on.

I didn't experience this issue in the final July update of Pixel experience. So maybe they already have this patched.

Thank you for the ROM

Could you explain what you mean by more stable?

PE:
1. Auto brightness was too aggressive. It would quickly brighten up in a completely dark room due to sensing it's own brightness (sort of recursive, increases brightness, senses more light, increases brightness more). This became a problem using the phone at night.
2. Lock screen brightness (not a problem as it's being looked at)
3. Battery life was lower than LOS/RayOS. AOD brightness bug might've made it worse.

What I loved about PE:
1. Google stuff (dialer, recorder, pixel goodies)
2. Patching smaller things quickly from upstream (e.g. alignment of text under FOD)

Guess it's just the brightness bug that made me not properly enjoy the pixel experience. Other than that it seemed to work fine.

I have my eye on both ROMs. I really enjoy the pixel experience ROMs (have used it before on lavender).

I really want to try and learn a bit about building and working on these ROMs so I can better contribute through code rather than posting bugs. It's just that I haven't worked on low-level kernel stuff (or android in general) before. Will probably need a mentor that is willing to teach me

These are just my personal nitpicks. I really appreciate all of you devs for spending your time making these ROMs for us

One of the annoying things in pixel rom is when you use battery saving mode, dark mode just get turned on automatically. Google mayn't know that I use battery saver as a default, dark mode is very annoying in day time. I have to ask here, does battery mode in LOS behave the same of pixel rom?
In real what Ryzen did in pixel ROM is a great work, any minor edit he will do (like what I criticize) will just ruin the pure pixel experience.

Yes, dark mode gets enabled automatically when you enable battery saver on LOS too.

I believe this flow is baked into AOSP, so it's present in both PE and LOS.

Hmm thanks for letting me know, Ill work on the brightness curve.

with dolby integration, can i use another equalizer like viper4android?

Yes you can!
Read my Post (#10) i wrote in this forum. That's the only way i have made viper4android to work with this phone.

@Simon1511
Since the last update (06.08.) i notice some bugs.
- AOD brightness is to low
- no connetion to mobile data after staying a long time in WiFi or coming back from airplane mode (overnight). I have to restart the phone to get mobil data back
- during a call (the phone is at the ear and the display is off) the display 'flickers' sometimes (white and black)
- the minimum brightness during direct sunlight ist still present, no so often as in the July build

The AOD doens't move his location. What about inburn protection?

As always, THANK'S for your work

WBR

A few issues I've encountered. Has anyone else faced these?

- Hotspot. The page informs that hotspot is working, but it doesn't work in my case. I moved my sim to another phone and the hotspot from that phone worked, but when using this ROM, other devices trying to connect get stuck on "Obtaining IP address".

- Handling audio between SIM and whatsapp (WA) call. When I'm on a WA call with BT earbuds. If I get a SIM call in the middle, after declining (or ending the SIM call after accepting), the WA audio does not come back to BT earbuds. I encountered it twice but wasn't able to figure it out properly.

I believe the sound was coming from the phone speakers, but it certainly isn't the same as before the SIM call. Note that the volume slider still shows the BT icon after I switch back to the WA call.

- Quickly pressing the FOD on lockscreen makes the brightness go 100%. Opening the phone and changing brightness doesn't work. I turn the display off into AOD and the brightness goes down.

I've also mentioned a similar behaviour in PE thread. It's just that in PE, the brightness increase happened on AOD, here it happens only on lockscreen.

- Low AOD brightness, already mentioned by @Peter_Petersen

Announcement!
A52 4G and A72 are now officially supported by LineageOS!

From now on new builds will be released weekly on LineageOS' website. That means every week there will be new official builds for both devices.
New builds for A52 4G will currently release on every Friday and for A72 on every Saturday.

What are the differences between the unofficial and the official versions?

• The official versions will be updated frequently (every week) with the latest changes from LineageOS.
• They have OTA-Update support built-in, which means you will be able to easily update to newer versions using the Updater found in Settings->System->Updater.
• Also, as mentioned by @thatdevsherry and a few other people, hotspot accidentally went broken in the last unofficial build. This has been fixed on the official ones.
• Macro (A52 and A72) and Tele (A72 only) cameras are now accessible by Gcam, which wasn't working before.

How do I update to the official version?
You should be able to just dirty flash the official build over the unofficial ones.

Apart from that, all device trees and the kernel can be found on github.com/LineageOS and review.lineageos.org. Feel free to contribute!

Hell yeah! Congratulations simon, we all know you deserve it. Great work!

 

[thatdevsherry]

This is awesome, congratulations!

I'll be doing a clean install. The lineageos wiki mentions installing the latest stock update (maybe to be at the latest bootloader version etc).

Is it really necessary to install the latest stock image? My device was already running Android 12 (maybe June patch).

No, you don't necessarily need the latest stock firmware. It's enough as long as it's Android 12.

This is sick that this has been made official! Love to see it.

Congratz! That's a great reward for all the work you did so far!

Hey Guys!
is there any hope for A52 5G?
I Really want to try out Lineage OS / Pixel XP on my device as well...

No hope of us providing support for that device.

 

[itsesa]

but what's the difference between the 5G & 4G model?
sorry lol I don't really have a lot of information about custom rom buildings
