Development [ROM][OFFICIAL][barbet] LineageOS 19

[Klimon5]

The universal SafetyNet module for Magisk did the trick for me. It forces basic attestation (basically makes the phone look like a low end phone to SafetyNet). I think that means that some apps may not give you like 4K HD quality, but I checked a few of the big ones (NetFlix, for example) and HD is working fine there. The only thing that kind of sucks is it occasionally just stops working and you have to fix it by resetting Google Play Services which breaks Google Wear synced connections. But that's the price we pay for using a decent OS. :-/

So Safetynet only works with google play services installed?

Yes, it's a Google Play feature.

OK I am a bit new to all this. This is the first Google phone I have ever had so probably a dumb question but I am running the MicroG version of Lineage OS (lineage-18.1-20211116-microG-barbet) on my 5a and I really am enjoying the experience but I don't know if it is possible to lock the bootloader back after you unlock it and flashed LOS? Is it because the version of the ROM that I am using? Is it because I flashed the custom recovery with the ROM? Can I use Lineage OS with or without gapps but I would prefer not to use them if possible and be able to lock the bootloader back afterwards? I would like to be able to run this ROM on my phone but I worry about the phones security as a daily.

Short answer: it's not possible.
Longer answer: it's actually possible, but you need to obtain a signing certificate and would have to personally build/sign every new version of LOS with the certificate.

I would just add that the amount of security you gain from a locked bootloader is pretty negligible as long you (A) only ever install ROMs you trust and (B) always use a relatively strong *password* lock screen (so the encryption key to your data is secured better from offline attack). The locked bootloader just prevents you from flashing unsigned ROM images.

It'd be awesome if Google would help the OpenSource community by providing a mechanism for legitimate ROM builders, like LOS, to sign their ROMs with low or no cost, but they don't.

Is there an official guide for installing root/magisk with Lineage OS. I flashed the latest Magisk .zip in the firmware flashing portion of the lineage installation but never did the boot.img patching because I cant figure out how to extract the .img file from the lineage install files. I seem to have root but I fail safety net whenever I attempt it.

Current Setup
1- Flashed Lineage via Lineage custom recovery
2- Flashed Gapps and Magisk (but havent done a patched boot.img)
3- used magisk's new deny list on google play services
4- installed module: MagiskHide Props Config & Terminal app, granted su, set fingerprint to pixel 3a
5- installed module: Enable Zygisk in magisk and installed Universal SafetyNet Fix
6- Checked SafetyNet: Insatlled Yet Another SafetyNet Attestation Checker (YASAC), passes basic without a finger print but fails the other one. gets a google connection error when fingerprint is set.

Any help is appreciated. I asked for help over in the Magisk thread but was directed here.

I got it working with everything your doing except my fingerprint is set to pixel 6 pro and I'm also using deny list on Google play store and Gpay. I'm also using safetynet version 2.2

Does the 6 pro use basic attestation? Also did you extract and patch the lineage boot.img?

 

[TheSayaMan]

No, I flashed in lineage recovery. adb sideload magisk.apk. I also do pass basic attestation so yes.

Perfect ill be trying this out as soon as I get home. Thank you!

Just an update on this in case anyone else finds this and is curious as to my results. I got Lineage running and passing safety net by following these steps.

My Setup

1. In lineage custom Recovery I flashed...
   1. Lineage OS
   2. Gapps
   3. Magisk (v24.0+, no need to extract/patch a boot.img).
2. In Magisk:
   1. Turn on Deny list, and deny Google Play Store (not services), GPay, & any banking apps.
   2. Installed module: "Magisk Hide Props Config" & used root terminal app (Termux in my case), set fingerprint to pixel 5a
   3. Enabled Zygisk
   4. Installed module: "Universal SafetyNet Fix"
3. Checked Safety Net: Insatlled "Yet Another SafetyNet Attestation Checker" (YASAC), passes basic and CTS!

On a separate note I'm getting noticeable lag issues while typing, currently using Gboard. Anyone else running into this issue?

 

[Gon Rouge]

Following up on this. I was curious why it wasn't detecting my SIM card correctly but I suspected not having Gapps installed unfortunately might be the issue. Sure enough, after wiping and flashing the 2021-12-16 LineageOS image and MindTheGapps it connected fine including 5G.

Because I really don't want Google services installed, I wiped and flashed LineageOS for microG recovery and image hoping it would work. I'm happy to report my SIM has been working for the last 6 days with no issues. I also flashed Magisk and installed a great Gcam mod and everything is working great.

Are other people without Gapps or microG having the same SIM detection issue? I didn't think it would be needed, but perhaps it's just a weird AT&T thing?

I flashed the MicroG version of LineageOS on my P5a 5G and kind of had a similar issue to yours but everything on the phone worked great I can make and receive calls, mobile data works, messaging works but the only issue I started having was I could not receive any text messages no matter what I did. I tried everything I could think of I even factory reset the phone like 3 times and still did not work. Later on I did some research online to see if other people were having the same issue and turned out what it was for me was my SIM Card was not a 5G SIM Card on Verizon.

 

[Gon Rouge]

OK I got a question about gapps I am currently running the MicroG version of LineageOS on my phone using Verizon Wireless as my carrier and I am really enjoying it but is it possible to run LOS without gapps being installed on the OS through Verizon? Or does it have to be a GSM network in order for it to work without gapps?

How likely is Android 11 likely to be maintained for? I'm thinking of getting the 5a, but I really don't want to have to used Material You in the future.

It sounds in a round about way that your asking about a ETA for Lineage 19 Android 12 and if that's the case then that's against the rules here. Never ask about ETA's. If that's not the case then I apologize but if it was, then it will happen when it happens and not a minute sooner.

Thanks for the unsolicited lecture. I was asking cause I DON'T want Android 12, as stated. LOS 18 might receive unofficial builds after LOS 19, which is why I asked.

I wasn't exactly sure what you were asking and I wasn't accusing you of asking for ETA. That's why I asked. My guess is that once LineageOS 19 drops then it will be replaced by 18 and 18 will no longer be available on LineageOS website but I don't know for sure. If the source remains for 18 after that and the code base is still updated then its something that even a newbie developer such as myself could continue to work on but that's something the folks at Lineage could answer for sure.

I flashed this and everything works except there is no sim card detected and my sim is installed. I did some digging and other people are reporting that it needs gApps for the sim card to work properly. This pretty much kills lineage as my OS of choice because I want nothing to do with google or its services. The compromise was to use micro-G which I have installed with magisk but this has changed nothing.

Update: i went ahead and flashed graphene and relocked the bootloader etc. goodbye google.

I'm running without gapps and instead with microg. Even before I installed microg with a magisk module, my sim worked just fine. Have you set your carrier APN settings correctly? What carrier are you on?

Otherwise, If graphene os solved your problems and it works for you, enjoy!
