[ROM][OFFICIAL][enchilada][11] LineageOS 18.1

[[GER]Roxxor]

Great, I would like to know if these adjustments could be implemented in future updates, since they are shutting down 3G services, and demand to use VoLTE/HD Voice by default.

No they cant. At least as far as I know. You have to do it once and it applies to all ROMs.

Guys I was checking out the gerrit and found something to be excited about.

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/lineage_wiki/+/321288/19/_data/devices/enchilada.yml

If I interpret it right, we should be included in the initial batch of devices being promoted to 19.1 and Luk1337 is probably staying our Maintainer.

Hello,

First, thanks a lot @LuK1337 for your work.

About LineageOS 18.1 for the OnePlus 6, I have a quick question for the users : does 4G+ / LTE+/ carrier aggregation work on your phone ? I'm on a custom ROM based on LineageOS (/e/OS) and I'm trying to rule the source of what seems to be a bug. Because I've fully reinstalled my phone, I'd like to avoid flashing LineageOS to test it myself. Also, I've found only (I hope I haven't missed a post in this thread) one similar report which is not much (and not my use case).

Some information if needed :

• Carrier : Sosh / Orange France
• /e/OS Build : 0.23-20220323172928 (v0.23-r)
• LineageOS Build : e_enchilada-userdebug 11 RQ3A.211001.001 eng.root.20220323.214438 dev-keys
• Last OOS Build (before unlocking bootloader...) : OxygenOS 11.1.2.2
• Information reported by the Phone Dialer / LTE physical channel configuration : -nothing, there's no value- (which suggest LTE CA is not in use)
• Did LTE CA / 4G+ use to work on stock OOS ? Yes
• Rooted ? No

Thank you !

-----------------------------------------------------------

EDIT :

And I was wrong. LTE physical channel configuration does display something, but it takes a few seconds (~20). Also, it does switch between mRat=LTE and mRat=LTE_CA, but mostly stays on mRat=LTE (3/4 of the time). So carrier aggregation seems to be working, although my phone appears to struggle staying on LTE_CA (or maybe the Phone Dialer refresh rate / accuracy is not that good). I'll leave this post here for others or if you want to share your experience.

Isn't that what the toggle in
Settings -> Network and Internet -> Mobile Network -> 4G calling
is about?

There are 2 different levels. This toggle you are talking about is on Operating System level. And yes, you can use it to toggle. The problem is from Oneplus side on the Modem Firmware. (Also in Oxygen OS VoLTE doesnt work).
There are different VoLTE configurations saved in the Modem Firmware. You can not edit them from Android itself. Only by a modem firmware update (thats how Oneplus could change the configuration).
There is a list of different profiles, and the one which is default is (how far I understand), a "dummy" profile which simply doesnt work. So if you select another one (see the post with instructions), it works, depending you choose the right profile for your region/carrier (doesnt need to be the same as not every carrier or region is represented, it's basically trial and error to find a compatible profile).
Then if it works on firmware level, the operating system toggle actually works.

I think it's theoretically possible to integrate a modem firmware update in LOS to enable VoLTE. But this would have to be tested very well (which it wont) and could possibly brick devices. Thats why LOS doesn't ship with firmware updates (in contrary to eg Graphene OS, who only support Pixel phones and can test properly). There are official statements that LOS wont update your firmware. They thought about it and decided against it (and I can very well understand it. Think about the ****storm if a LOS update bricked devices.)

For quite a while I had believed that custom ROMS would always contain firmware code as well. Only recently I learned that this is not the case, and now with your post I also think I understand the reasons for that. Thanks for your explanation!

Anyone else has problems installing TWRP?
I´m always ending up booting into TWRP forever.

TWRP does not work on OP6 properly. When I was flashing it, it always ended up in crashdump mode. I would recommend sticking with LOS recovery as that is the only well tested and documented way of using LOS. If you insist on using TWRP, probably better place to ask would in TWRP thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...al-twrp-touch-recovery-for-oneplus-6.3860815/

I guess I´ve found my mistake...

I´ve used "fastboot flash boot xxx.img" instead "fastboot boot xxx.img"
Oh well it´s some time since and I was in a rush.

Seems everything working fine so far now.

I´ve got Magisk installed but the Github instructions are outdated?
There is no option "Patch vbmeta in boot image"
Anyway I´ve patched boot.img and flashed it and everything seems okay.

No. LOS does not have any support for face unlock.

When to expect lineage os 19.1?

LOS devs are doing the development in their freetime. No use in asking for an ETA; you will either get no answer at all, or an "It will release when I wish it to do". Let's not stress the software wizards, and let's be grateful that we have them.

You forgot 30th of February as one of the possible answers

You guys haven't got the update?

Does your phone, while charging, sometimes show "Charging slowly" instead of just "Charging"? Maybe it's a faulty charging cable on my side.

Just to come back to this one, three months later - the issue was a hardware issue with a lose contact in my charger. Nothing to do with this ROM. In fact, I have yet to discover a single bug/issue with this ROM that is not hardware related anyways. Super awesome.

The only hardware related bug that I sometimes encounter, is that the proximity sensor stays active at random times, even when no calls are being made. Couldn't identify what causes it. Other than that, everything is perfect
