At the moment, FM radio, manual network selection and auto brightness does not work (maybe something else). New builds will be uploaded as source updates / bug fixes are updated.

camera ok?

 

[M pigoli]

using as a daily cell phone, this is fast, congratulations.

 

[Kran007]

Switch from nkomarn Lineage 16.O build. Camera works okay, so it was great. Only problem is flashing twrp, cannot successful flash using the app. Always go back to lineage recovery even light indicator goes purple to orange. Any workaround?

Also power off function not work, it rebooted. Anyways, it was great and thank you for continue work on this. Cheers! ?

Just started testing this Rom, my feedback for now is:

Autorotate is not working.
Can't change any sound (calls, SMS, etc)- (APP crashes).
I've experienced some random reboots in the first few hours after flashing, it seems stable now.
Advanced reboot is not working properly.

Magisk is working fine.
Nova Launcher is working fine.

I'll continue to test...
Hope my feedback can help make this better.

hi, many thanks to develper! smooth running even such older device! the only issue is battery indicator always start from 12% but I am not sure if it is common issue.

 

[Kran007]

Flash the latest build 0803, Sensors are now working. Auto Rotate is working, since sensor driver is there. FM Working properly also.

Still have issue on Turn Off, it keep restarting.
Cannot able to flash Twrp Recovery, still booting to lineage recovery.

But still, thank you for your time on updating this Rom

Thank you for the update! I dirty-flashed it over the 0803 build. You see, I run the stable Magisk v19.3, which, along with some modules, then allowed me to pass both Safetynet tests. Not anymore. As you stated that Selinux was almost ready, I had uninstalled ibuprophen's The SELinux Switch app prior to flashing the new build. I was using it in order to set Selinux to enforcing. As Selinux is still off in the new build, I tried to install the app back, but the new build doesn't allow me to do it. Even the zip, although correctly installed in recovery, after booted up, no SELinux Swich app is in the drawer, because directory /data/app/com.ibuprophen.selinux-1 has been deleted during the boot up process! What's happening?

EDIT: I decided to do a clean install. Everything is back to normal! Thanks, anyway!

Pixel Launcher

Thanks again for your hard work in bringing Android 9 to this very old, but still powerful, device of ours.

Well, I prefer Pixel Launcher over the embedded home app, but it keeps crashing all the time upon being selected as the default home app. For those who also plan to use Pixel Launcher, edit /data/system/packages.xml, and add up the following entries, under <package name="com.google.android.apps.nexuslauncher"> and <perms>:

<item name="android.permission.STATUS_BAR" granted="true" flags="0" />
<item name="android.permission.MANAGE_ACTIVITY_STACKS" granted="true" flags="0" />

Could you make such changes in your next build?

 

[Kran007]

After flashing the 0824 build, i experienced much better scrolling experience, performance improved a lot.

Also Twrp works now and turn off function work properly, no need to reboot and press volume down go to stock recovery just to turn this off. So thank you for continue working on this

I thank you for continuing to develop! I'll install that, i report issues!

Perfect, bug-free, fast and stable ROM, using with magisk, everything runs perfectly.

New build uploaded (lineage-16.0-20191019-UNOFFICIAL-odin.zip), major changes since August:

• Fast battery drain fixed (for 15.1 nightlies too)
• SELinux denials resolved at 99% (You can make builds in enforced SELinux, but I would recommend continuing to build them in permissive). Current build in permissive SELinux.
• Oktober security patches
• Minor performance and stability improvements (for 15.1 nightlies too)
• Added missing props for gps and Miracast.
• Build status - Stable.

Addonsu is already included, you can enable root access in the developer settings

This is where my support for android 8-9 for Z/ZL/ZR/Tablet Z ends, this build will be the last. All the changes made in the sources are already available on github.com/LineageOS, if someone wants to continue supporting and get the official LineageOS 16.0 - write to PM, I will explain in detail what remains to be done in the sources. Also, if someone wants to try to build other roms for our devices based on android 8-9 from the available sources - try to choose CAF-based roms (for example, AOKP, LineageOS, Ressurection Remix, AICP, etc.), then with 95% chance you will build and run the rom. Our sources are based on CAF, and for the build of roms based on AOSP, additional fixes are required, plus there will be problems with sound anyway.

I also want to note that I made a most part of the changes made in 16.0 to the official 15.1 nightlies, which should significantly improve their stability and performance

Thanks for your hardwork and making a stable build, but i encounter issue Installing it.

Clean Flash it including system, but result in Rebooting to twrp, tried to flash previous Build then Update, stuck to Boot Animation and Reboot to Twrp. I'm quite sure the file is not corrupted, downloaded it two times. Sadly it was the Final build but hoping you will address and fix it. Thanks
