[ROM] Lineage OS - 16.0 [UNOFFICIAL] [9.0] [27 Jan] [OTA]

[Subhrajyoti Sen]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8, 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.

What's working :

• EGL
• Encryption
• Camera
• RIL (IMS, Calls, VoLTE, SMS, Data)
• Wi-Fi
• Bluetooth
• Video Playback
• Audio
• Sensors
• LED
• GPS

Known issues:
None that I am facing. Feel free to report some


Report bugs
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 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.


DO NO POST BUGS WITHOUT LOGS AND PROPER STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE



Follow Instructions Carefully otherwise you might get error :

• Reboot to recovery
• Flash Global Pie firmware if you haven't already. Please flash the full firmware zip and not the non-arb ones. You can flash the firmware here. Flash V10.3.1.0.PEIMIXM for now.
• Wipe cache, dalvic cache, system, vendor, data
• Flash ROM & Gapps arm64 together
• Done-Reboot Now
• Enjoy the clean rom

OTA support - Nope. Not in the current build. I can consider adding it in the next build.
Official - Nope. But there will be regular updates.

Downloading, report back in a couple of hours, thanks for share your work!

 

[thequellu]

Yup. F2FS is supported

Thanks bro, great work

Nice, hope this rom won't be abandoned like the other LOS 16 builds.

Nice, hope this rom won't be abandoned like the other LOS 16 builds.

The very intention behind starting a new thread was to provide continued support. Noticed that LOS didn't receive as much support on whyred as other ROMs. And whyred is my secondary device. So I can easily test new builds and upload.

Is it possible to get original recovery.img from latest build so that we have "complete" lineage os 16.1 system?
Do You have some guide for building this ROM and if You have is it possible to share this?
I would like to try build myself something like this so that i can include or exclude something from ROM.
Thank You in advance and i'm sorry if i ask something stupid or inappropriate!

There's build information on the Lineage wiki, it's not entirely straightforward but it's not too tough either. It will take a load of disk space though, 100+GB
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/whyred/build
I'm not sure how you'd go about pulling in the code for this specific build... git clone in the appropriate location i guess

For anyone wondering, I've flashed this over Kapiljhajhria's build and it booted fine, all seems to be working nicely.

edit: I spoke too soon, finger print enrolment isn't working

 

[zBear]

when changing Network Mode (3G->2G) in System Profiles, do you get any crashes or errors?

Working on a fixed build. Will notify once done.

There's no sim on my whyred. Will insert a sim and check tomorrow morning

thank you

I've seen this crash/error in all LOS (and LOS-based) 15-16 ROMs I've tried, but still hope to find one without it

and one more question
in LOS 15 there is no circle style battery, but this visual stile was promised to come back in LOS 16
is it present in this ROM?

 

[Cordobes21]

I can not configure the fingerprint in the startup configuration or later in confuration, I get an error when it's about to finish making the fingerprint

 

[skullun]

İs fingerprint working now ?

 

[Subhrajyoti Sen]

So fingerprint enrollment is working now. Just checking out a few more thing to make sure I haven't broken more stuff.
Build will be up soon

 

[in_out]

is it possible to add WiFi MAC Randomization from?
