[ROM] [13.0] [Dragon] LineageOS 20.0 [UNOFFICIAL]

[michie]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 13, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear
* war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please 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 me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

Thanks for taking over

Is there an easy way to boost the microphone gain?
Thanks!

I think the ViperFX module for Magisk will, but I don't know how well it plays with Android 12/13

I tried the LineageOS recording app that is included in the ROM, and it creates a file, but it does not seem to record anything or the volume is so low I cannot hear it. It may be that the microphone is not ready yet in this ROM like the camera?

Anyone else has issues with Plex and Netflix? For Netflix, after a few minutes, I get an error message ("Device failure occured. please restart your device and try again (501.-172). For Plex, I get stuck on the logo and nothing else happens...

@michie: have you included your h264 patch in this rom?

Edit: decided to try a good old reboot. Plex got a little further (log in screen) but hangs after that. Still same problem with Netflix...

New build up!

Fixed slow boot. Can someone test Netflix etc?

Thanks!

 

[muerte33]

I could not test the Netflix and Plex, but the slow boot is fixed.
I like to turn off all animations, and the response is incredibly fast.
Youtube seems to work really well.
It is hard to believe this device is so old, and yet still so good using this ROM!
I still cannot get the Lineage recorder app to record any audio though.
Thanks very much for this ROM!

I'll check sound recording later. Did you try any other app?

Sorry, just wrote in the wrong thread hahah have a nice day (I don't know how to delete a comment, so I just changed it to this, sorry for inconvenience)

I tested Firefox (with Ublock Origin as the only add-on), and Gmail, and they worked fine for me.
The Playstore worked fine for me too. I did not install Magisk.

Thanks @michie! You rock!!

Update:
I was able to pair an HP Bluetooth keyboard and a bluetooth external speaker with no problems!

Hi everyone,
first of all I want to thank the developers for extending the life of our device.
I have a problem with slow performance for about 5 minutes after being idle.
I have a suspicion of a faulty eMMC memory chip.
Can someone test the write speed of the memory? I want to compare the speeds.

Thank you so much! You are amazing!!

Plex now works like a charm! However, Netflix now gives me this error message "This app is not compatible with your device. You can download a compatible version from the Netflix website". I downloaded the app from Aurora Store (just like I did for Arrow 13.0 or Lineage 19.0). Any ideas?
