[CLOSED][Rom]Lineageos 18.1 with microG for OnePlus 5 & 5T

[bonswouar]

something is wrong with the lineage updater
then you have to install it manually

That's a bit unfortunate, this updater is a pretty cool functionality.
Although I confirm it works flawlessly simply flashing the zip (& clear cache/dalvik), didn't need to reflash magisk or anything.

EDIT

I have found the error and that is by type microG (G) is large that must be small

Haha that kind of mistake, so annoying, fortunately you found it!

 

[Exodusnick]

so now everything is ok update is displayed again

 

[imtmh]

Is anyone facing issues with incoming calls?
The other side can hear that my phone is ringing, but no notification/ caller id shown on my phone.
I observed that this is happening when LTE mode is on, other wise I can see incoming calls in 3g/2g modes. Any solutions?
I am using airtel-India
TIA.

 

[Exodusnick]

Works for me without problems.

@Exodusnick I"m having some issues with localization. It felt like GSM NLP providers aren't always working very well, and I noticed recently using a cell discovering app (TowerCollector) that it has some issues getting full details about current towers.
According to app's developper, it could be fixed by "developers of your ROM": https://github.com/zamojski/TowerCollector/issues/109#issuecomment-909453346

Any idea how to fix that ?
Thank you !!

Thanks for the info. Is it about the localization from the network or from the GPS ?
I think it has to do with the old GSM data.
With the new update which comes the days there will be a new
LocalGsmNlpBackend 1.5.2 version that may solve the problem.

The problem is not from the GPS but from the network: it seems that API 4.2 isn't working properly: MCC and MNC values are broken (it uses API 1.0 then and can't have proper values for signal strength and neighboring cells).
I doubt this is linked to LocalGsmNlpBackend as it's a low level Android API problem?

Great news! Pretty good idea to include AuroraStore directly in the rom

 

[Exodusnick]

Means you have no mobile data do I understand correctly ?

Everything is working correctly regarding my network normal use, I didn't notice any problem with data and phone usage.
Not sure how it impacts anything else than location using network cells, but according to TowerCollector's developer when forcing to use Android API 4.2 to get cell information it returns

mMcc=null mMnc=null
mMcc=000 mMnc=null

And quote from him, it could also impact Nlp providers accuracy :

I think that can be related because the implementation of Android API is incorrect in your custom ROM and I think microG rely on that like any other app.

 

[Exodusnick]

Yes this is due to the old LocalGsmNlpBackend and will be replaced by the new LocalGsmNlpBackend 1.5.2. Since everything works have tested it on my Samsung S7 with microg los 18.1

If there should be problems with the LocalGsmNlpBackend location simply clear the microg settings APK cache, data and restart .

 

[speedtouch2006]

Thanks @Exodusnick, new lease of life for my dumpling.
Very convenient having MicroG, FDroid, Aurora etc all installed properly with the ROM.
I love the 5T form factor and fingerprint reader, might move back to it from a Pixel 4 XL with Calyx

Still having the same issue when using Android API 4.2 instead of 1.0, it returns mMcc=null mMnc=null (from TowerCollector log file).
I suspect location providers from microG also can't use API 4.2, meaning they don't have information about neighboring cells and signal strength thus might have much lower accuracy.

Also an important thing I just remembered : I have to use SIM slot 2 instead of 1, because since I installed the rom data isn't working when using slot 1 ! Might be related ?

No that has nothing to do with it at all. You have to change that in the network settings which sim may use mobile data or not. I use both slots and have no problems with mobile data.

 

[Exodusnick]

No Problem.

 

[Exodusnick]

@bonswouar
Is it because the signal strength is not displayed in Tower Collector ?
Just enter In Dialer App *#*#4636#*#* and then on phone information
There you will also see the signal strength
Except that the signal strength is not displayed, the rest works.
So do not understand your problem.

I see no option for that (as I have only 1 sim card I guess I can't disable it). I don't find any way to activate it - it's already activated by default! (as you can see on the screenshots)
