[ROM][HIAEUHL/HIAEUL] Unofficial LineageOS 14.1 (2020/05/30)

[AceNik]

Hey guys just FYI,

Even my phone was 3 yrs old now and I ordered a custom battery and replaced 1 month ago. It's amazing and I've been getting 18+ hours of usage with 6+ hours of screen time.

This is too crazy! Big thanks for your sharing.
But actually, if my A9 gets its ending of life, I won't fix it, I'll turn to buy a new phone.
My brother got an Samsung S9 recently, and it amazed me a lot.
For sure before A9's death, I expect I have the honor to try stable LOS 16. :fingers-crossed:

Hi, I have a question if you're willing to help me, I'm running the stock htc one a9 dev rom tweaked for better battery and performance, so far it's really good bu I don't like the look of it plus it's Missing a crucial feature which is expanded desktop for me, however which ever immersive mode app I try, as soon as I swipe up on the navbar, it doesn't hide back, I was hoping you'd have a solution for this, I DO have root

I remember there're some tutorials for hiding/removing navbar, some use the same methods like "expanded desktop" of LOS, and some remove it directly and replace with gesture mod. Coz I've never used it, the only thing I'm sure is that you can't automatically hide navbar with a stock-based ROM like LOS does, unless the devs add something like ViperROM tweaks.

Big thanx to Dragonkind for providing us with a fresh security patched version of LOS 14.1 for the A9! I've just updated from the previous version. Everything works fine (as before).

Thank you Dragonkind for supporting our device who HTC have thrown aside like a step child.... Really grateful.

Few queries and might be lineage bugs:

- whenever I search for 'ambient display' in settings I see the search result but clicking it turns out no such setting for the amoled htc a9?

- Volte seems deprovisioned and cannot turn on from *#*#4636#*#* is it a device issue? If so, how can i mitigate... Any zips to flash, vendor file, etc?

Thanks once again!

You're welcome, btw I'd like to bring something amazing, not sure if I can do that, just trying now.

Ans 1. As I know, Ambient Display hasn't worked on A9 since its first nightly of CM14.1. If I have enough time, I'll see how to enable it.
Ans 2. Is VoLTE supported by stock ROM? It always downgrades to 3G when I'm in a call, with stock 6.0.1/7.0 and LOS 14.1. I think A9 doesn't support VoLTE, unless intervigil making it work. xD

Hello!

I have S-OFF A9 device, but I can't install this ROM under TWRP. I receive an error on installing, don't remember now which error (testings was made few weeks ago).
Can someone tell me wich firmware to install before installing this ROM? One link for it will be great! Thanks in advance!

Anyway, I managed to install another ROM with dedicated firmware:
2PQ9IMG_HIA_AER[email protected]61209_60.00_F_release_500842_combined_signed_2
This working good in my device, but unfortunately my native language (Romanian) is not in the available language (actually, there is only few languages available). Maybe this ROM have it?
Or, someone can suggest me one International ROM Android 7 with root (to have Romanian language also)

Many, many thanks for any informations!

Best regards!

I'm not sure why you couldn't install this ROM before. Did you use the latest stock firmware then?
There's Romanian in LineageOS ROM, thus you can try it again. (Remember to choose the release for hiaeuhl)
And about TWRP, I suggest you to install the latest one, it's stable enough.

Will we see a Lineags OS 14.1. with the latest Security Patches for Oktober'18 from you?

Yes for sure! But I moved my VM from SSD to HDD (prevent SSD lacking storage), waiting for Win 10 1809.
Thus the next releases will upload later, or skip October and build November directly (I hope I can still make October one).

A good news is, I want to play some tricks on speaker and earpiece, and I've got the preliminary success.
As I know, there's nobody else doing this, though it can make our A9 great again.

First Release of Dual-Speaker Addon

As I said, I'm playing some tricks about our speaker and earpiece.
Now it's time to introduce it to guys, but some points need to be announce here:

1. It's not useful, just for fun, or those who want their speaker louder.
2. Due to our earpiece designed as an earpiece, not a secondary speaker, it won't make A9 powerful like Samsung S9+ or such other devices which have dual-speaker with their stock firmware.
3. Earpiece plays only "left" channel. Speaker plays both "left" and "right" channels.
4. "Left" or "right" channel is not determined by rotation sensor. Rotating to 90 degrees (counter-clockwise) will get the best stereo experience.
5. If speaker plays only "right" channel, the "left" channel would be too weak. The other reason, I've not found any way to make speaker play mono channel either with "left" or "right".
6. Due to above reasons, I prefer the mono version, let our earpiece be just a booster.
7. Never ask me if earpiece can be louder, I'll keep trying it, but I don't expect to break anyone's earpiece. If you try to enhance the volume then break your earpiece, I'll laugh at you.
8. Use this addon with your own risks though it has been already tested ok by me.

If you wanna try, you can DOWNLOAD ADDON HERE.

Isn't there a revert zip in case we don't have a backup?

 

[Saad. Mk]

Additionally can anyone help me enable LTE Band 3 on my device, I've tried all the methods listed in every form regarding this with no luck, as of now I am only able to get HSPAP services. Much help is appreciated.

 

[Saad. Mk]

These are the only bands I am able to get, I need an 1800 band 3 for LTE services in my country. I am posting this here since I am infact running latest LOS and because this has been the most active thread

 

[Dragonkind]

Use Solid Explorer or other file managers:
Go to "/system/etc" → find "mixer_paths_wcd9330.xml" and delete it → find "mixer_paths_wcd9330.xml.bak0" and rename as "mixer_paths_wcd9330.xml".
Then you'll get the default mixer without dual-speaker.
Or if you need, just download the default mixer file below and paste it into "/system/etc".
See attachment.

But in fact, I had left this info in TWRP installation script already, so you 100% won't mess it up.

If I have enough time, I'll take it a look. Currently I have no idea about modifying RIL, maybe it needs intervigil's help.
To be frank, I never notice about which bands I use... :silly:

 

[Saad. Mk]

Does anyone have a solution for the crap video recording ie slow fps and stuttery recorded videos in third party apps. The stock camera has the smooth 30 fps but the snapchat and instagram apps both record in very crap frames

hey @Dragonkind Can you make LOS version 16 rom? Is that possible?

 

[Dragonkind]

I feel sorry about this issue, coz I'm absolutely not able to fix this, I even have no idea about what would cause it... :crying:

Well, I also wanna know the answer.
Intervigil keeps uploading gerrits, I guess we may be the second wave of LOS 16, probably in early 2019.
Considering to my ability, the only thing I can do is to remind him enabling call recording function on default.
Before that, I will keep upload unofficial 14.1.
I know there has been November security patch released, so the new 14.1 releases for hiaeuhl and hiaeul are not too far.
