About LineageOS

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8.1.0 (Oreo), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

Reporting Bugs

• DO NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel or you installed Xposed
• Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
• If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
• If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log

Bug report should be done in following format provided in code below

• Kernel source is upstreamed to linux stable release 3.18.94

20/12/2017 - Initial Release

Note :-

• We can now run 64bits ROM on our phone.
• But actually we have to run app_process (system server) as 32bits, mainly cause of sensors non working actually with a 64bits system server.
• More to come next, vendor tree is still missing many 64bits blobs, and some of our proprietary services still run in 32bits mode too.
• As we have found out , Flashing stock whilst having anything 64bit even the recovery for some reason the efs (IMEI) gets wiped .
• I do not recommend you revert to stock on any 64bit rom.

Testing

Testing the ROM, how I hide the navbar in this rom? Cant hide in SystemUI

Do you connect to the network?
Data work?

Currently you wont be able to hide those in settings because lineage os haven't merged those patches yet. So you have to edit the build prop and add this line

 qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1

if you doesn't have root you can do this by
1 - reboot to TWRP
2 - mount system
3 - goto terminal and run this command

echo 'qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1'  >> /system/build.prop

Ok thanks.
It seems to work really well on XT1675 2 GB 16 storage.

 

[DavidKirsch]

Everything working so far for me. I'm with magisk and root is working too.
Edit: Actually, Camera is with some bugs, like dark image and not working on whatsapp.
Edit2: Nevermind, camera works fine on Open Camera

Enable camera2 api

Can someone check whether enabling camera2 api works since this is needed to use the Google Camera ports with hdr+. Adding persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 to build.prop makes all camera apps stop working for me!

Can you check whether the in-call audio quality problem has been solved?

Not completely, I already noticed with AospExtended that the noise is attenuated but it is still present, however you can hear it quite well. If I have to give a better judgment on Aospextended. For the camera I use the pro version of Footej Camera and here it works really well while the standard one after 3 shots becomes dark.

Currently we are using a camera wrapper in order to make the camera work. The wrapper doesn't support hal3 so enabling it in build.prop will screw your camera.

If you don't know what a wrapper is

The wrapper is the facade. Sometimes you may have a class which would suit a specific interface, but you can't change the code for it to make it conform to that interface. You can create a wrapper for that class which implements the interface, but which directs most of the calls to the wrapped object.
-- Stackoverflow

If you really want to use hal3 you need to

• delete /system/lib/he/camera.msm8937.so
• rename camera.vendor.msm8937.so to camera.msm8937.so
• then enable hal3 in build prop
• Reboot

But it will bring back our one photo bug on Oreo

Okay makes sense. Thank you for the detailed response!

*A fairly minor problem I've had is that the flashlight won't activate using the button in the QuickSettings. The button doesn't seem to respond in any way to being tapped. Is this broken for anyone else?

(*Edit: Having re-installed this ROM today the problem has gone, not sure what caused it.)

Also, wondering if anyone has managed to get Google Camera with HDR+ working in this ROM? I've currently got it working fairly reliably in LOS15 using the port that someone posted for the G5 back in November, but this didn't work for me when I tried it in this ROM yesterday. I've moved back to LOS15 for now, but it seems that there are a couple of extra steps to getting HAL3 enabled in this ROM beyond just the build.prop edit that I wasn't aware of yesterday so I'm just interested to know if anyone has had any success with this?

I changed the lib, added the hal3 to build prop and downloaded that hdr+ port (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617934890) and worked fine. But as said previously, the bug of one shot only is present.
Edit: Actually, doesn't seem to be making any difference with hdr+ on or off on this app. And the bug of one shot only you can work around by opening the photo that you took and coming back to the camera.
Edit2: The app has a lot of options to work with that can make the hdr+ work just fine, I just haven't found them yet, if I do I'll let you know.
Edit3: Got it working with the following config edited only:

Edit4: I took 2 photos just to see how it was (I don't think I need to say which one has the hdr+ enabled):

Thanks for the info, I appreciate you taking the time to post this! Very glad to hear that it's working

Ow, I wished the USB tethering bug could be fixed with a 64-bit build! Nevertheless, this is a great achievement, congratulations and thank you!

Soham said maybe a third party app could fix usb tethering, you should try.

Soham said maybe a third party app could fix usb tethering, you should try.

The mentioned app is a paid one, and the ideal thing would be fixing the actual Android function. Still, I can survive without USB tethering, as I have been doing since I installed LOS 14.1
