[ROM][DISCONTINUED] LineageOS 15.1 for HTC One M8

[bgcngm]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8.1 (Oreo), 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. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

Base source code is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to the project, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.

Keep in mind that for now this is just an alpha, take it like an early preview. Quite a lot hasn't yet been ported to Lineage, so please don't report issues like: "broken buttons backlight".

I guess we're using the 7.1 version of GApps since there isn't one for 8.0 yet?

 

[bgcngm]

Unofficial Gapps here: * link removed *

that wasn't expected but highly appreciated
thank you very much

Sent from my HTC M8 using XDA Labs

 

[osidacarlo]

Best thing I've seen this day. Thank you!

Best thing I've seen this day. Thank you!

I will test instantly

 

[GuestK00130]

Have anyone tested RIL?

 

[bluehunter9]

For me, SIM was detected on first boot but then after a restart, it stopped being detected. When it was working, calls/sms worked but not mobile data.

But boy is it smooth. UI much more fluid than Nougat

 

[harisdelic]

Excelent work, thank u bgcngm ?
About ROM, there are a few FCs while setup phone, but nothing that u cant handle with. RIL is working, I mean phone and sms, I havent tested mobile data (but at least sys catch proper APN). All other functions in settings work good, except BL which doesnt work, and its icon is blinking all time. Wifi is working good, GPS is also working pretty good, needs few sec to lock; audio is fine, there is no crackling sounds; sensors and audio recording work just fine. Only thing that is missing is camera. If u need anything just let me know. Cheers

I don't remember any FC while setup but SIM was not detected. Once setup was completed there was a message saying system not responding, chose wait .. then SIM get detected.

Maybe an important thing to note for those who may have the same sympton that I had.. after ROM is installed, the system partition was change from 2644mb to 1006mb. To restore your backup or install other ROM (especially Sense ROM) you may need to Resize File System. If not your restoration or ROM installation may fail due to insufficient system space.

If i remember correctly, this was the case since the beginning of cm/los. When you flash cm/los it automatically changes from sense(2gb) to gpe(1gb), but when you wipe system, it's again back to sense. :good:

No, it was in the beginning, but then I fixed it here. The problem right now is that many things are not yet up, so most likely resize2fs_static is missing, and due to that partition is not being resized.

RIL on m8 single SIM may be acting kinda weird because I forgot to patch it the same way I did on 14.1 back when I switched to source-built RIL. And by the way, the "system process not responding" thing is happening on every device.
