[ROM][9.0][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 16

[linckandrea]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9.0 (Pie), 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.

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 /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops and /sys/fs/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0. (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

Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

nice, i never thought we would get another android pie attempt, Ill try soon

 

[SirRGB]

I just installed it and it works fine, but pls add sources. I already found them, but you should add them in your post.
and ofc thanks for all the effort you made @linckandrea

 

[SirRGB]

I am the first person to soft brick my N9 ig. To be fair, I installed Magisk, dirty flashed, ran undecrypted, everything not ideal circumstances, but here are ramoops as it now only boots to recovery saying "RescueParty".

 

[SirRGB]

cant share logs due to size limitations in xda, pastebin and hastebin. If you have a telegram acc it would make things easier.

Thanks for releasing 16.0. While I did have a bootable 16.0 back in March 2021, I couldn't fix the hwcomposer problems.

With your 16.0 build, Clash Royale completely froze and locked up after 15 minutes (roughly 5 games, each is 3 minutes long). adb logcat shows running low on memory? I can play same game on 15.1 with no problems.

 

[retiredtab]

After getting the logcat, I tried to start Clash Royale again, but the entire device locked up again and I get the same System UI isn't responding that I reported earlier.

due to broken hwc display composition is made by only the gpu
(this means that every heavily gpu apps will perform bad as the gpu does all the work)

Would you say that @linckandrea 's v16 release is more up-to-date than your v15.1 release?
Obviously v16 > v15.1 but I wonder if the functionality is the same?

Having used both releases, would you say this one is more stable than your own?
Your last update for v15.1 was as of June 13, 2021.
Does this v16 update include both the security updates AND the hardware fixes in yours?
Such as improving the GPU rendering, etc?
I would assume that because it's v16, it would include all previous fixes from v15.1? Am I wrong in thinking this?
Or is the hardware decoding of video or say, YouTube; still an issue?

Also related/unrelated to these ROMs, have either of you (or other users reading) had the issues with the NEXUS9 related to crashing prior to installing any ROM; and then having those issues be resolved with the installation of this or any other ROMs? I'd like to know if this is a hardware-based or software-based issue.
If my NEXUS9 is still going to crash, I don't think it's worth my time installing any ROMs, etc.

 

[SirRGB]

Will there be any more development of Android 9? I am asking because your repos werent updated since June 24th and I dont know of anyone else, that is working on it...

i'm actually using a custom build of los15.1 of my nexus 9,
the hwcomposer bug is due by outdated display blobs(there's no tegra k1 device that has an oem pie build(this means that this issues will never be resolved))

so it is worth fixing the remain bugs when the performance will sucks no matter what?
probably not

and yes even on los17.1/18.1 display blobs would be the same

 

[SirRGB]

I currently run los16 just to try it and it runs quite nicely (only minor bugs e.g. livedisplay broken like A8, permissive selinux, ?fullscreen issue?). Ig dirty flashing was the reason it didnt work properly back then... Just wanted to note: a lot of people are using your build, so thanks for all your work.

When i power off, the device is in some sort of sleep not true power off. I power off and there was 50% battery and when i switch it on weeks later battery is depleted. I noticed this with another rom i installed before. Any way around this ? To get a true power off. Apart from this, the rom works great.

I made an enforcing build a few months ago, but now I cant get Lineage 16.0 to build... Can someone look into it?

I'm not an expert in compiler flags, but if I'm understanding this correctly ...

In file included from external/tinycompress/compress.c:57:
In file included from bionic/libc/include/fcntl.h:95:
bionic/libc/include/bits/fortify/fcntl.h:63:26: error: use of undeclared identifier 'O_TMPFILE'
        __clang_error_if(__open_modes_useful(flags), "'open' " __open_too_few_args_error) {

it's complaining that 'O_TMPFILE' is not declared. You can bypass this by removing line 7 at

https://github.com/LineageOS/android_external_tinycompress/blob/lineage-16.0/Android.bp#L7

The "-Werror" according to

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html

"Make all warnings into errors."

So by removing that flag, it should compile now.

 

[SirRGB]

Hm, I understand, but sadly it didnt work. In the end I nuked all flags and removed the out folder, but nothing changed...

 

[retiredtab]

Try renaming the external/tinycompress/Android.bp file to Android.bp.old as a test. That won't build that library at all then. You may also have to grep through the device/htc/flounder directory for instances of libtinycompress and comment it out.

I haven't tried to build 15.1 yet so I don't know if I will be affected by this or it's just in the 16.0 tree or it's specific to your build environment.

You used the wrong kernel branch... Pick lineageos-16...
