Development [ROM][OFFICIAL][barbet] LineageOS 20

[thx1200]

I saw Lineage 19.1 drop. Two questions.

First, when I upgrade, regarding this: "NOTE: If you previously had any Google Apps add-on package installed on your device, you must install an updated package before the first boot of Android! If you did not have Google Apps installed, you must wipe the Data partition (or perform a factory reset) to install them."

By first boot, do you mean before first boot after upgrade to 19.1 or do you mean first boot after Lineage 18.1 was installed ever? I guess my question is, do I have to add gapps if I already have gapps installed? Sorry if this is a basic question, but I'm confused. I do have gapps installed on 18.1. My guess is I need to load the (newest) package again after 19.1, but wanted to confirm.

Second, are there going to be any more 18.1 updates? I don't know if I'm quite ready for the Android 12 experience, I'm pretty happy as-is with my phone. But I also don't want to stop receiving security updates if 18.1 is dead now.

After flashing 19, before booting. Mind that you still must reboot to recovery between the two sideloads.

Second, are there going to be any more 18.1 updates? I don't know if I'm quite ready for the Android 12 experience, I'm pretty happy as-is with my phone. But I also don't want to stop receiving security updates if 18.1 is dead now.

No more updates.

I had my own 18.1 build but closed the thread several days ago. Turned out to be a dead thread after awhile, it was showing no interest and I certainly wouldn't build it again if there was little interest in it. It takes a long time to build this. The source is still available for it, which means someone can make regular updates for it but if there isn't a update to the repo then it wouldn't make any sense to do so.

Installing Magisk is required to hide an open boot? or already in the core they fixed it like on pixelexperience

When my lockscreen is in landscape mode it is almost impossible to swipe up far enough to get to the pin input screen.

In the stock sms app, any word followed by a period shows up with a red underline, like it is misspelled.

Do nightly builds not show up in the system updates?

 

[satya-1998]

I am facing the same issue as Zedicus. The spell checker is flagging words the precede periods/full-stops with a red underline. This does not happen with exclamation or question marks.
It is a minor annoyance, but does someone know how to get rid of it?

btw I see this not only in the stock SMS app but also WhatsApp etc

@aleasto The left bottom speaker is never used. Instead, the rom uses the top speaker.

I updated to 12 when I noticed the issue but it's still there.

Can someone check on their device so I know it's not just me? It's easy to miss this because the speakers still sound good.

Only the bottom right grill is a speaker. The bottom left grill is a microphone!

Oh lol, well that's embarrassing

I upgraded from 18.1 to 19.1. Working well, but for some reason Magisk got wiped out and I need to reinstall it. It seems the simple zip installation method is deprecated now. I need the boot.img to patch it manually. How do I get the boot.img for this ROM? https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html

UPDATE: nevermind, found this. It required some older packages, but still works. https://github.com/vm03/payload_dumper

Just sideload it in recovery, otherwise you have to redo the process every update.

I'm following the instructions on Magisk website. What is different about the process to flash it permanently from Recovery? https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html

Installation

The Magic Mask for Android

topjohnwu.github.io

It will install a script in /system that makes it reinstall for every update

Strange question: Anyone else had issues making calls since AT&T retired their 3G network recently? I have data and SMS but no voice calls (immediate disconnect on dial). (I'm actually on RedPocket.) Depending on where I am the phone says 'LTE' or '5G' with good strength, so it seems to have acquired a signal.

I wonder if I need to change something in LOS ... or if I possibly need a new SIM?

My apologies for being dense. In the "Magisk in recovery" option for the documentation, it sounds as if it is not the preferred option. Is this what you are referring to?

Magisk in Recovery
In the case when your device does not have ramdisk in boot images, Magisk has no choice but to hijack the recovery partition. For these devices, you will have to reboot to recovery every time you want Magisk enabled.

Yes.
No. My link was to the "Custom Recovery" section.

"This installation method is deprecated and is maintained with minimum effort. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!"

I was avoiding that method due to the above warning. But if it works for you, then I guess I'll ignore the warning.

 

[thx1200]

Hmm. I applied the latest update and my phone reboots about once every five minutes. I thought at first it was because I had not reapplied Magisk (hence the above comments) but it's still happening. Any thoughts?

Figured it out. There was an app I had installed that used the accessibility service. Uninstalled it and the reboots stopped. It must not be compatible with whatever changed in the recent release. No big deal, not an essential app.

Thanks again!
