Bluetooth keyboard still doesn't work. I reinstalled LineageOS, this time without microG. In page 10 I already reported this issue, but at that time I was using LineageOS for microG

Bluetooth pairing works, but in the language settings it is not recognized as a physical keyboard.

What is your--
LineageOS version: lineage-20.0-20230527-nightly-gts4lv-signed.zip
LineageOS Download url: https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/fu...neage-20.0-20230527-nightly-gts4lv-signed.zip
Gapps version: no Gapps installed

Did you--
wipe: yes
restore with titanium backup: no
reboot after having the issue: yes

Are you using--
a task killer: no
a non-stock kernel: no
other modifications: no

Provide any additional information (observations/frequency of problem/last version it worked on/etc) as needed:
The bluetooth keyboard came with a cover from SonnyGoldTech. It is recognized as MQ-keyboard. Pairing works.

But in the settings - system - languages and input there is no physical keyboard recognized.

I also tried the keyboard with my SGS10+ with LOS 19.1 and with my Pixel 4a with CalyxOS. In both phones it worked as it should. But I purchased the keyboard for the tablet. And yes, I always unpaired the keyboard after trying it with my phones.

I created a logcat file from the Android Studio. I filtered the log for com.android.bluetooth. You can find my keyboard with the bluetooth device ID "DD:77:54:9D:5C:47" and with the name MQ-keyboard.

What instructions are you using? Going from memory CP is a modem file (IIRC)? Which model do you have? None of my Factory ROMs ( Android, 9, 10, and 11, which I have successfully used) have a CP file either (normal, mine is a wifi model). I believe only the LTE models will have the CP file.

You will only use the AP, BL, and CSC file (not the HOME CSC file). Don't place the CSC file in the CP box.
Can't for the life of me restore stock firmware. I've done this countless times over the years with all manner of Samsungs, but this is perplexing. I got it to restore a couple of months ago, but went back to give LineageOS another try. Now I want to restore it to sell it off, but this time no go. Perhaps a different computer/cable combo will do it.

Hi, I been flashing for a while also. I ran into the same issue, I found by unzipping the file and adding the csc, ap , and the bl filles separately it flashed back to stock fine. Hope this helps.

Any hint how to pass safetynet with this rom?
I can't get it work on lineage-20.0-20230605-microG-gts4lv.zip with magisk 25.2 stable .. even the basic integrity check fails :(
I would appreciate the exact magisk version as well as the versions of safetynet-fix and/or MagiskHidePropsConf .. ;-)

btw: thanks for the rom @LuK1337, very good work (y)(y)(y)

Well, I can answer the question by myself :

The only working config for passing the safetynet checks (baisc and cts profile) with lineage-20.0-20230605-microG-gts4lv is:
  • microG 0.2.27 (included in the rom)
  • magisk 26.1
  • universal safetynet-fix 2.3.1-MOD3 module
To whom it may concern .. ;)

Bluetooth keyboard still doesn't work.
It looks like there are some changes with bluetooth for the upcoming nightly release . As I don't have technical insight into bluetooth, I just hope the bluetooth keyboard issue gets resolved by this change. I'll keep you updated if it helped, as long as the release is before Saturday. Otherwise I can only test it after next week.

Still no fixes for keyboard issue.... Is there by any chance a way to get back to Lineageos 19 ? My keyboard was working great, and I need it...

Thank you for your work on this. I been noticing hesitation and freezing for 5 to 10 secs with the latest couple builds.

Hello,
I installed LineageOS yesterday on my Samsung galaxy tab s5e (LTE). My only complaint is the sound quality. Enabling "dolby atmos" seems to have no effect, while it had a significant effect in the stock rom.

What is your--
LineageOS version: 20-20230708-NIGHTLY-gts4lv
LineageOS Download url: https://download.lineageos.org/devices/gts4lv/builds
Gapps version: 13.0.0

Did you--
wipe: Yes
restore with titanium backup: No
reboot after having the issue: Yes

Are you using--
a task killer: No
a non-stock kernel: No
other modifications: No

Hm. Lock screen overrides automatic rotation settings and is never in landscape mode. Any way to fix?

Edit: Solved it with the angle settings. Quite unintuitive.

    Happy flashing :)

    Perhaps you can give some feedback on how it feels.

    Currently we have one stock and one LOS, she complains that her favorite game runs slower on LOS.

    My testing ended in LOS being faster in Passmark. However, Futuremark was slower but then it didn't clock so high (perhaps battery? Retesting already. Edit: Nope, does stay around 6800):

    View attachment 6007943nyone else who experienced less power for gaming?




    Edit#2: In the end I don't care about this performance in Futuremark because this higher clocking leads to higher power consumption - the battery test ended with 9h34m for Samsung and 10h14m for LOS.

    I just wonder about the gaming which still runs better on Samsung despite reverting to LOS from -09-02 but, hey!, LOS gets always better whereas Samsung doesn't even support it anymore :D
    Thanks! I don't really game but I have Alto's Adventure and it played fine for me. Maybe the occasional hitch/slowdown but nothing really to note.

    Are there any instructions to return to stock if I ever sold / traded in? I didn't see any on the site. Thank you

    working on 2023-09-18 version. But it does not display a separate number row (if enabled
    That still sounds broken to me ;) I think I better skip some updates...

    any instructions to return to stock if I ever sold
    Never really bothered about that, and why would I? By my experience I'd say that flashed devices usually catch higher prices being "degoogled", especially if abandoned by manufacturer (like here A11 vs A13).

    Just occasionally I had to revert a samsung back to stock, did that with samsung KIES or smart switch.

    I think you might go straight to stock, since this feature never worked on tablets anyway.

    Dang! My bad, you got me: That additional line of numbers is original samsung :oops:

    Could have sworn I had seen it on LOS, too. Astonishing how having this little extra for a few days makes you forget everything :D
    1
    You're right, I've seen that on LOS20, too...


    I've got an unofficial build running on my Samsung Tab Pro:
    lineage-20.0-20230527-UNOFFICIAL-mondrianwifi.zip (unfortunately no update since)
    [ROM][T320][T325][Android 13] Unofficial LineageOS 20.0 Nightlies Tab Pro 8.4 Wifi/LTE (mondrianwifi/lte)

    There I can use the separate number row.

    Having seen it running on LOS20, it would be nice, if it could be enabled on the Tab S5e, too. But it's no dealbreaker. I can live without the number row and if needed urgently, I can try an additional keyboard.

    Going back to stock is no option for me.
    This device has screen density so low that keyboard app doesn't consider it a tablet.

    I have had bootloops happening out of the blue once a month the last couple of months and think they are related to either to the system automatically applying updates or Magisk taking some action without my knowledge.

    How do I make sure to disable all OTA related activities? I have already disabled the updater.apk.
    There are no automatic system updates.

    Has some noisy parts though. Ideally one should get some FLAC proper somewhere but even this showed the shortcoming of sound in LOS... and then there are plenty of switches and knobs... tried some but Samsung was still better.
    I promise this has nothing to do with source quality. Unless you're listening to a crummy 128k MP3 then I'd be astonished if you were able to perceive a difference between a FLAC file and a 320k MP3 listening through tiny speakers on a tablet. The speakers are not good enough to begin with to be able to make that kind of distinction.

    It's ON by default. Compared it to my phone - also ON and the very same presets. I deem that a stupid idea because once I turned that off the quality really improved (should be opt-in not opt-out):

    - AudioFX OFF
    - Dolby Atmos ON with preset Music

    Now it is pretty close to Samsung. Still, I must find some good piece of music so I can evaluate that better.

    I'm aware of the AudioFX app that's on by default. It doesn't actually seem to have any effect on my audio either. Toggled on or off makes no difference. I've boosted frequencies by crazy amount to test it and its not working. So, neither AudioFX or Dolby work on my end. Even more strangely, the other morning, as if by magic, the Dolby was working and could be toggled on and off with an audible difference. Then later in that day, it wasn't and hasn't worked since.

    Yes I also found the keyboard disappearing it doesn't happen all the time. I went back to the 9/4 build. Thank you always for your hard work.

    Installed LOS 20 on my Galaxy Tab S5e a few weeks ago and I've got to say, I've been so pleased with the results. It's brought it back from the brink and is now very snappy. However, I've got a few complaints regarding the sound quality following the installation. This tablet had a great sounding set of speakers on the original ROM but they're really tinny and quiet now and the Atmos button does nothing. I've done a lot of googling on the topic and found a few people who were able to correct the speaker volume through editing a mixer paths xml file but it all looked rather technical (beyond me at least).

    Has there been any official word on whether the various audio bugs are going to be fixed? Would be great to have any fixes others have found implemented in an official release.

    LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 13, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

    LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project, with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

    All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS GitHub organization. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.

    Reporting Bugs
    • DO NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel, or you installed Xposed
    • Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
    • If it is a random reboot, grab /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops and /sys/fs/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
    Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

    Hello, is there a reason why the "Automatic timezone" setting is missing under System/Date & Time?
    Because you have a Wi-Fi only device.
