Hi, same issue here.
In the meantime I'm trying Samuel_Owolabi's fix to check if at least NFC stops crashing.

EDIT: no joy, NFC keeps crashing

Okay, that sounds more like an upstream issue in NFC under Android 13 itself, with our LineageOS base & source-built vendor. We switched to building the NFC stack from source in Android 13, and it does seem like this kind of function broke for a few people, while it still worked with the prebuilt NFC blobs in Android 12.

That's good and bad news.

The good news is that you could potentially help a LOT of people (everyone using LineageOS & derivatives, like crDroid) on OnePlus 6-series... if you're able to submit a bug report with usable logs and jump through all the hoops required to get the LOS devs to engage with you on the issue.

The bad news is that it probably means doing a clean install of official LineageOS with the recommended Google Apps package (MindTheGapps arm64 for Android 13.0 official), and then having an environment where you can reboot, recreate the issue, and then capture logs shortly thereafter.

It's hard to get traction on something like this sometimes. But if you've got the ability to follow the instructions to the letter, and submit the LineageOS bugreport, it would be immensely helpful. I've tried switching back to using the prebuilt NFC stack from Android 12 in 13, and it broke everything.

Go to https://wiki.lineageos.org/how-to/bugreport and follow those instructions to submit the bug report as properly/completely as possible.
Go to https://wiki.lineageos.org/how-to/logcat and read up on how to take logs, and practice.

@dhemker You too. That's how we're gonna get anywhere with this; by getting some actionable information that luk1337 & EdwinMoq and friends at LineageOS can do something with.

I upgraded from 9.1 to 9.2 and everything seems rock solid.

Two things I miss as they were present in several other roms:
1. Set a maximum and minimum level for charging the battery. I believe they call this Smart Charger
2. A sleep mode that activates airplane mode and disables various other functions at the programmed time to avoid battery consumption during the night

Enable "Developer Settings" (Settings > About phone > scroll to the bottom & tap on "Build number" until it shows a toast message saying "You are now a developer!"), go to Settings > System > Developer options, scroll down about 2/3 of the way and look for "Display cutout".
Set it to "Hide" and see if that makes your life better.

But that will shift whole status bar icons below notch area. Any other workaround apart that?

1. It's in Settings > crDroid Settings > Miscellaneous > Smart Charging
2. Sounds cool. If you know some commits that you could recommend to the ROM dev team, that would help. I'm just the maintainer for this device and have very limited ability to help import new framework features (which that sounds like).

Not that I'm aware of, sadly.

That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, I just don't know. But then, I'm not typically watching stuff that's wider than 16:9 aspect anyway.

I'm not entirely sure what the "Full Screen Apps" toggles in "crDroid Settings > User Interface" are supposed to do, but it either doesn't work or does something else. I'll check with the dev team, see if I've got something broken in the device tree after all.

If in display settings we can get a option like hide notch in apps in fullscreen, that would be great or something else. Its really annoying to see full screen videos with notch cutout. In stock A11 rom I use a app called 'round screen corners and hide notch' but the app is not working in A13 sadly.

Actually I already opened a bug some time ago with a couple of logcats:

OP6-LOS20 - SystemUI crashes after unlock with fingerprint (#5417) · Issues · LineageOS / issues / android · GitLab

Expected Behavior System runs without crashes Current Behavior On my OnePlus 6...

gitlab.com

But I fear it is being ignored

Not that I know of off the top of my head.
You can do the updating procedure with `payload-dumper-go` as listed on the lineage wiki (linked in post #2) without having to factory reset or anything; it's not touching any of the partitions that the ROM installation zips use.
Good peace of mind.

Thanks - will give this a try

Wait, the other person's issue is that NFC stops prematurely when using an authenticator app that's trying to read a certain kind of tag in a government-issued ID card, using the Android 13 source-built NFC stack.

Your issue (as of a month ago when the bug was opened on GitLab) was that the stack was just crashing constantly, and luk1337 said it looked like the already-closed bug.

Do you keep your phone in the vicinity of a government-issued ID card with an NFC tag in it, or have a wallet case or something?

Right now, as far as I know, we're at the point where most credit card & bus pass NFC tags work (for contactless payments) but there are some other types that seem to be bugged. You're still just having NFC crash (and cause SystemUI to hang) any time it's enabled?

The phone is always in vicinity of the card, both stacked on a table. Nothing around. I came from LOS 19, there the eID card worked flawlessly - same setup all the times. Same error also occurs fot the health insurance card; has worked in LOS 19, too. Furthermore, my UI does not hang nor does the NFC stack crash.

So, I have both the issue with the ID card and the NFC constantly crashing, despite the fix of the bug related to the mine. I think that everything is connected.

I don't keep the phone close to my ID card.

Hello,
i've installed this rom with nikgapps and all is working fine... very great work!!!! thank you for this rom!!!!!!
The only little issue is the low precision of fingerprint

If you have the time to switch to official LineageOS, with the recommended MindTheGapps official for Google Apps (if you need Google Apps package), and could add logs of your crashes to the LineageOS bug tracker issue at https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/5417, that would help with getting luk1337 and friends to have more data.

I think I have one or two people in the Telegram group that still face this issue that I could ask to contribute as well, so that they know that NFC isn't fixed yet.

I've found three things to help with the fingerprint:
- Remove any tempered glass screen protector, say a prayer, roll some dice, light a candle, sacrifice a chicken, and pick another brand of screen protector at random and hope it works better.
- Wash your hands thoroughly, then use a little rubbing alcohol on the fingertip to help dehydrate the skin slightly, use non-moisturizing hand sanitizer to clean the screen really good, then register the print twice for each thumb/finger you want to use.
- Lick your thumb first.

If all that fails, consider upgrading to a 6 instead of a 6T; it's basically superior in every way that matters.

How do I make At a glance widget showing time and when I press on the time it will open clock app? And weather too. Is there anyway to make it when I press on temperature, it will open weather provider website? I used to use those features with lawnchair, but lawnchair isn't support for Android 13.

 

[onlylove943]

And if possible, is there anyway to make home screen folder background transparent or atleast blur? It really look horrible haha

Any update?

TLDR: Bootloop after dirty flash. Help

Hi. So I was having terrible issues with crdroid 8. For some reason I had suddenly lost access to all files on the phone and so there was no way for me to access anything. I already had the latest version so I thought, I can't break anything further and dirty flashed version 9 and nikgapps. It worked fine and the phone was up and running and perfect for about a week. Then my battery died and when pluging it in to boot up, I'm in an endless boot loop. Is there any way to fix this? I've tried reflashing both the rom, boot.img and nikgapps but it doesn't help. Eventually the bootloop ended and I was thrown back into the classic fastboot screen and am unable to leave that screen, it just comes back no matter what I try. Any ideas?

Facing FCing with the GCam while switching to different modes ( photo and video ) or while switching to front and back camera... Tried with the config too but still crashing... And for some reason in portrait mode the front camera opens in zoomed and it can't me zoomed out as it displays 1x... Other than this the notification pannel lags while opening it to see notifications if there are available ( for like 5-6 notifications it laggs )

There a test build that tries to address the camera going to crashdump issue. Come find download links & release notes & such in the most recent pinned message in the TG group.

Will this be in OTA?
