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

[MajorP93]

That's why I asked for a ROUGH ETA. i'e. It's months away or it's getting there. Something along those lines.

There is still some work to do.
Can not give you more precise information.
You should realize the following: in the custom ROM scene all development work is done as a hobby in our free time by people that have a normal job, families and real life.
Sometimes things happen in real life which cause us to do be not able to develop for some weeks.
This is the reason why as a rule of thumb you should never ask for ETAs in the custom ROM scene.
It is somewhat considered rude.

That was quite a patient and helpful explanation. I've been tempted to ask too, as I've somewhat messed up the previous install and I don't want to reinstall only to find the official ROM to be released the next day.

Reading this - why it takes not only a lot of time, but sometimes gets interrupted by things everyone can relate to - makes it easier to remember why you can't in good conscience give ETAs.

Good post, thanks.

All I asked for was a reply in the style "it's a week away" or "it needs months". Didn't ask for a specific date. Being a developer myself I know all about unexpected conflicts of schedule. From our point of view there's no way of knowing what's going on.

Hi @MajorP93, I hope everything is fine
As a volunteer on other projects I say that not asking for ETA is a rule for projects run by volunteers.
But it's also a rule not to ask for money if you can't answer ETA, or you can't show some progress/alpha/beta/empty github project

edit: giving some periodic feedback would be useful, even just to say, I'm busy etc etc etc

cheers

Rom is great but gapps doesn't flash after rom install.
Did all steps as per procedure. Any update?

Hi.
I disagree with that statement.
In our crowdfunding announcement we never promised that we will give out ETA.
We were asking for donations.
People who contributed did it completely voluntarily.
If we would "charge" money for this project, it would be a completely different story as we would "owe" the customer something.
This is not the case here since it is still a free project which is run by hobbyist developers in their free time.
There is a huge difference between performing a completely voluntary donation and paying for a product.

Us devs have been kinda busy with real life in the last month.
That being said there has been quite a good amount of progress on the new code base.
There is still a lot of work to do. Lot's of testing will be needed aswell after the new code base is ready to get compiled.
Those are the reasons why we do not provide ETA. It is hard to estimate.

I am planning to get back to working on it soon.

This is basically the information I asked for in my original message. Don't want to call it ETA? Call it a progress update. It's useful to get something like this once in a while.

ETA is an abbreviation for estimated time of arrival: the time you expect something to arrive.
In my eyes you were clearly requesting a statement on how much time it will take to finish.
Something I can not answer due to reasons I explained multiple times.

If you would have asked for a progress update it would have been a completely different conversation.

More accurately I asked for a ROUGH ETA (and thank you I know very well what it means). I posted several messages clarifying what I wanted which was misunderstood.

can u tell me which gapps u use?

 

[joho500]

Nice to see a LineageOS ROM is developed. Before flashing I would like to know if it is possible to disable a sim when using two sims. I like to disable my work sim when not working as is possible in the stock ROM.
Thanks in advance

Just tested it and its possible

First of all: Thank you for your continous effort for providing this rom. That's awesome!

Now to my problem: I am still getting a continous error: Intend Filter Verification Service has stopped working.
Does anyone have the same symptom?

Regards

What version are you using?
This problem was already fixed a few months ago.
I suspect you are not using the latest release?

 

[sosenbinder]

I am using the current november build but I did face the issue with september build as well.

I recommend backing up your data, clean flashing (format data in recovery), re-installing and then re-importing data from backup.

@MajorP93 donations are donations.. opinions are opinions.. facts are facts...
your post are a year old... upstreaming to lineageos?! I never seen a gerrit commit.
You can ask for money for everything (beers.. covers.. phones).. and finish this project in the 2030, but trust is a thing than no one can sell and no one can buy...

I will be happy to change my opinion and install your official lineageos in my oneplus nord soon.

cheers

People like you are discouraging devs. If you don´t want to wait flash another ROM or sell your phone. Your decision.

 

[ilmich]

I've stopped waiting. what I don't like is how @MajorP93 answer sometimes. It's ok to keep the right time for things, but peoples help him to buy another phone to develop better. so I think there is nothing strange to ask for eta. what I suggests is to use a better approach IMHO
