[ROM][OFFICIAL][fajita][9] LineageOS 16.0

[the00guy]

It took me forever to figure this out, but a change in android is the problem. Go into developer options and uncheck "verify apps over usb". This should allow TB to restore apps again. The hard part is remembering to do this the next time.

Wow! That should be a pop up in Titanium like the usb debugging notification if that's causing restoration to break across the board! Hopefully the dev is aware, thanks for that invaluable tip!

Just as a general question, what is everyone using to migrate apps between ROM reinstalls nowadays? I've all but given up on Titanium as it's been unable to restore backup data on lineage 16 as of the last 6 months or so for me. I've also tried Migrate, but it too was giving errors on restoring the data. I'm wondering if this is symptomatic of an inherent issue with my app data or if both apps are just not working as intended with the recent versions of lineage for the 6t. Thanks!

I'm new to TWRP, but here's my question: why would you prefer TB or any other software over the Backup feature from TWRP?

I can only link to this post from OhioYJ: Installation steps for LineageOS
Pay attention to the version of OOS you are coming from and proceed accordingly.

These steps have worked out for me, after much trouble and frustration.

Has anyone managed to get Edxposed working on this ROM? None of the versions I try seem to work. Thanks!

Mostly because TB will allow you to flash another rom/a clean flash of a rom and then restore your apps and/or their respective data. This is helpful if you screw up the rom and it becomes unbootable, infected, slow, etc...and you want to start fresh or swap to a new rom without losing your app data (especially for the majority of us who don't want to give all of our personal data to Google through Google app backup).

TWRP Backup/Nandroid is great for backing up your ROM and reflashing it back to the exact state that it was at, filesystem, data, and all, in the case of screwing something up and effectively needing to undo what you did.

Brilliant followed and worked a treat the only thing to add was how to switch slots in twrp but im sure anyone flashing should be aware of that anyway.

Very happy with rom and stability well done again lineageos

Normally you shouldn't need to switch slots in TWRP. The ROM will automatically flash to the opposite slot, when you reboot to recovery it will reboot to that slot.

Ok was not aware of that am new to a/b slots thanks for all you lot without your help would not have achieved

Any updates on if the camera focus issue has a workaround? Every camera app seems to lose focus as it's snapping the picture. The only temporary remedy I've found is rebooting the phone. I did a clean install of LOS and the issue persists.

I've been seeing the same problem, with both the LOS camera app and OpenCamera.

I just discovered the "Camera2 API" setting in OpenCamera, and that seems to have fixed the problem. I will admit that I've only done a little bit of testing so far, and that I'm not really sure exactly what this setting does. Can anyone else verify this?

Oh wow thanks for the tip! This has been bothering me for over a year now! Just switched to that setting, I'll happily test it out.

Reporting back, this seems to be the fix! It seems that the stock camera isn't using this API that the option fixed in OpenCamera. Much thanks again for the tip!

Is this a pretty stable rom like the camera and everything working ok, I'm still in the thinking stages and haven't even rooted my phone yet?

This has been stable for a long time. Even the unofficial LOS 17 is very stable in my opinion. The biggest difference between 16 and 17 is features and customizations. 16 still offers many features that haven't made it into 17 yet.

As for the camera I never had any problems with it, but the pictures were just OK if I'm being honest. You would be much better off installing a GCam of some sort. For LOS 16 I linked to the one I always used in this thread and the settings I used.

Thanks for the reply, I think I will give it a try.:good:

Lineage is always my go to. I don't buy a device that doesn't have Lineage support. I found the post for GCam: Here was my post about GCam. (link) That version only works in LOS 16. There is a different version for LOS 17. So if you try 17, you'll need a different version, let me know.

These are the instructions I've been posting about LOS installation, just note the LOS 16 / 17 stuff. Use the appropriate versions. Only use Android 9 with LOS 16 and only Use Android 10 stuff with LOS 17, don't mix the two. Any questions feel free to ask. The key is just make sure you start with 9.0.17 for LOS 16.

Just saw this encouraging addition! Not sure if this is a feature that can be leveraged yet:

[divhandyman]

Is this theTWRP that I use, I thought there is an unofficial one to use instead? https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplus6t.html

UPDATE***** i think I just figured it out
