[ROM] LineageOS 16.0 UNOFFICIAL - 1.2 [2020-02-11]

[BigBrother84]

Hi,

I tried to install this magisk module:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...magisk-long-screenshot-mod-android-9-t3956797

Unfortunately nothing happened... Module just doesn't show in magisk app and is missing in apps like nothing happened.

Maybe you know why

Edit: v2.0 shows in magisk settings but app doesn't show as app. I checked /system/app and /system/priv-app/ for needed files and everything is good.

I really miss long screenshot in LOS.

Quick question for anyone using this ROM: does Miracast work?

 

[noKid]

Hello !
I'm aware that the fix was brought a few weeks (months) ago, but still, I came here to thanks for the fix about the SDCard / init.yoshino.usb.rc (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81732137&postcount=903)

Not only this fixed some weird FS behaviors, this also greatly improved the performance / responsiveness of the phone. Thought it was important to emphasize, if someone else has a laggy phone for no real reason

I have a newb question, compared to all the pros here

Does it matter if I leave this lineage OS as my daily driver on XZ1C ?
my logic is that it won't get security updates, but then, Sony abandoned it anyway right ? So it doesn't really matter that I stay on LOS 16, even without updating it for 2 more years in theory, is that correct ?

Also some small usage questions:
1. Waze only works with GAPPS flashed, correct ?
2. Does LineageOS send off-screen telemetry without permission(like in stock) with the Whatsapp/Youtube Vanced accounts attached (but no gapps?) ?
3. Any way to install Icon packs ?

Thanks guys, you're awesome !

Security fixes are still implemented at OS-level, so it's still advisable to use a recent version.

LineageOS itself doesn't send data to YouTube or WhatsApp, but the apps themselves still do, even without Gapps.

Icon packs are dependent on what launcher you use, afaik. Idk if Trebuchet supports them, if not you can look into alternatives like Lawnchair and Nova Launcher. The icon packs can be installed like regular apps and usually need to be enabled in the Launcher settings.

Thank you Sir !
I am having a great time with this ROM so far. It's good solid work. I hope the 17.1 becomes as stable as this someday ?

@modpunk
Is it possible in theory to patch the eSpeak Text-To-Speech engine onto dalvik, as the default TTS, in the next revision ?
Or do you need Root access at the client ?

English eSpeak would really eliminate the need for any of the google stuff.
It will be used with the OSMAND nav app (that cannot speak its text guidance over Lineage OS due to having no text to speech engine without gapps)

Scroll down a bit, this guy managed to do it but I think he's rooted.


Besides that - You are a true talent. I wish you success in whatever project you move to.
Thank you very much

Short help for a dumb user needed

While upgrading to LOS16.0-v1.0 from LOS 15.1 I accidentally wiped the whole device while upgrading the firmware after NOT removing the *.ta, *sin... files

Now I want to upgrade from LOS16.0-v1.0 to LOS16.0-v1.2, WITHOUT loosing data and setting the whole phone from the ground up.
Do I just have to put on the .zip-file of the ROM to my sd-card and install it via TWRP? Which settings (wiping, cleaning etc.) need to be checked?

I'm very very thankful for every help :victory:

Thanks and cheers!

 

[baboon23]

Any news with signature spoofing and MicroG ?
Alternatively, is xPrivacyLua/xposed working well with this rom ?

Thanks ♥

Just make a backup (always a good idea) and install the new version. No need to wipe anything.

I personally updated my self-built LOS 15.x to the current version without wiping anything, and the only thing that I lost was, for some unknown reason, the launcher layout.

Both EdXposed and XPL have worked well for me.

 

[baboon23]

Both EdXposed and XPL have worked well for me.

Nice, I used the SU Root in the first post... Will I have to install Magdisk as well ?
Is there a way to edit MAC/DEVICEID without xposed/magdisk ? that's all I need really.

Privacy manager in this ROM is great for permissions so i'm left with ID.

 

[BigBrother84]

Confirm, edxposed YAHFA works, xprivacylua works. Gravitybox pie works (be careful what you actually enable, some options are included in system)

Only problem I have is font change to e.g. Microsoft century Gothic (I really like it) on lockscreen after change, there is square instead of ":" in clock. (I did it previously using ifont)

 

[BigBrother84]

Is there possibility to change device off charging animation, I really like that stock Sony with battery status precent and it was much bigger than small LOS animation.

If I remember correctly, Mr. Rusell5 used in his builds Sony stock animation.

I found two files that are may be useful - see attached files

Can anyone help?

 

[Frunzdoedel]

I have the best battery experience with "Force Doze" disabled and using an terminal emulator with of course su command:
settings put global device_idle_constants light_after_inactive_to=300000,light_pre_idle_to=600000,light_idle_to=300000,light_idle_factor=2.0,light_max_idle_to=900000,light_idle_maintenance_min_budget=60000,light_idle_maintenance_max_budget=300000,min_light_maintenance_time=5000,min_deep_maintenance_time=30000,inactive_to=1800000,sensing_to=240000,locating_to=30000,location_accuracy=20.0,motion_inactive_to=600000,idle_after_inactive_to=1800000,idle_pending_to=300000,max_idle_pending_to=600000,idle_pending_factor=2.0,idle_to=3600000,max_idle_to=21600000,idle_factor=2,min_time_to_alarm=3600000,max_temp_app_whitelist_duration=300000,mms_temp_app_whitelist_duration=60000,sms_temp_app_whitelist_duration=20000,notification_whitelist_duration=20000

Hey Guys,
for some reason my XZ1C lost it's network signal this morning and doesn't find any signal any more. I didn't do anything this morning. It worked just fine before
I rebooted it several times, no difference

Can anybody help me please? Is this a known issue? Any workaround?

Thanks!

The same thing happened to me a couple of times. Clearing Dalvik+Cache usually fixed it. Sometimes I had to manually clear all data of CustomizationSelector.

Thanks for the answer!
Can you explain that a bit more detailled?
I rebooted into TWRP, selected wipe, advanced wipe and there dalvik/ART Cache & Cache.
After a reboot, nothing changed...

Edit: I openend "CustomizationSelector" in the applist and forced it to end. After that I cleared its cache and rebooted the phone - Nothing changed.
Should I try to delete all the appdata of "CustomizationSelector"?

Any other help?

Yes, sometimes I had to clear the appdata of CustomizationSelector.

Having said that: It helped in my case. Yours might be different.

Yeeeessssss, clearing the appdata of CustomizationSelector was the key! Thanks a lot!!!

I guess it's good to know how we can work around it, but it was a little concerning to have both my wifi and cell networks poof like that overnight. I was starting to wonder if my phone's hardware was failing.

I have noticed that my cell network likes to disconnect/reconnect every now and then with frequency. Hopefully this will be fixed with this magic workaround, too.
