[ROM][OFFICIAL] LineageOS 17.1 for Nexus 6 (shamu)

[Markeee]

Wonder if it will affect my Xfinity mobile which supposedly runs off the Verizon's network ?

Is there anyway to check your phone on Xfinity or Verizon see if your phone will be affected ?
May be forced to put the Nexus 6 to rest and get a new phone ?
That would suck

Not necessarily true.....

T-Mobile is shutting down service to these phones, but will offer free replacements

Try the IMEI check at T-Mobile's website
My Nexus 6 will still operate on T-Mobile's Network after the deadline

That was released by T-Mobile after I posted. Thanks for the added information. It's only a matter of time until VoLTE is needed and when that time comes the N6 will need to be on LOS15.1.

ADB it and re-flash recovery partition with TWRP, might have to fix (reformat) your other partitions

My backup is about 12GB, but that's standard for me. I've got a bunch of apps in my Data partition. Next time you're in twrp, look in the backup tab and see what it's backing up. It'll tell you what size each of the partitions is

Am watching this as I reported a significant change in Dec., and this was using TWRP 3.4. As always lots of variables so you need to try isolate what is going on.

In Settings menu, Storage you can see more details-look especially at "Other Apps". My System installed seems to have stabilized at 7 GB. The growth seems elsewhere - Map Navigation Apps (the Maps themselves) can take up a lot of space. So do some Email clients like Type and Blue can expand massively (even with no email stored - Lord knows what they are harvesting or due to overly snappy graphics but at one point it was over 1 GB !?). Use stock email app. Google and Play Services also doing their part. Worth going through Apps and tweaking/clearing out, e.g. Whatsapp Stickers etc. Most likely some of these "power" apps changed recently and account for the growth. YMMV.

My TWRP backup was below 8GB for most of year, but it jumped significantly in Nov-Dec (at one point almost 16GB) . Now around 10.5 GB after a lot of cleaning and App removal - (Minions stickers are sadly gone). In my case, most of it is stored navigation maps from Here and opensource Map Me, and Google background stuff that is not easily removed or moved out of the system partition. Some are not fans of CCleaner App and it does have annoying ads, but is an easy way to clean out lots of junk, especially app caches, on a regular basis. Just keep an eye on all, but most likely App growth is the culprit.

I'm new to all this and did my first install of a custom Rom on my Nexus 6. I chose the latest Lineage 17.1. For me the main reason was because i just found it way too laggy with the stock 7.1 and figured I'd give it a try. I have to say it's amazingly smooth now. However I've noticed one pretty important issue, that I've seen others mention as well and one other I noticed today.

1. I have the problem people mention with the camera crapping out after using it for a few minutes. This happens all the time for me. Nothing except rebooting gets it back working. I had the Dec 30 version and now the Jan 6 version and always have the issue. I made a logcat once I was in the state that the camera doesn't work. I've attached the logcat file here. Is there a bug entered for this already? Otherwise I don't mind entering it. I'm sure many, many people must have this problem, from what I'm seeing in this thread.

2. When using the speakerphone, people on other end hear themselves. I didn't have this problem with the stock 7.1. I 'm guessing there needs to be some sort of code with the microphone that it doesn't transmit what's playing out, that isn't there. I think though that this issue was not there in the Dec 30 version and is there now in the Jan 6 version (it's just my feeling because i don't think people I was talking to complained about hearing themselves when I had the Dec 30 version

Also I don't necessarily need to be on the latest. I just want a working phone, that isn't laggy. I also have a Nexus 5 which i installed Lineage 14.1 and that seems pretty amazing. Are there any people that have the camera problem, that didn't have it in Lineage 15 or 16 ? I don't mind using an older version if the camera and speakerphone work.

One quick question: Using the recovery that came the Dec 28 Lineage 17.1, can i flash Lineage 16.0 ROM and where can I get it? A quick search on google turned up short as they all point to https://download.lineageos.org/shamu which has 17.1...

I ended up creating a bug for this here so perhaps others that have issue too can add comments https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/2946

Thank you all!

Can't confirm it here - camera works as expected. However - just plain LineageOS here, no gapps.
As of earlier (15.1 or 16.0) versions of LineageOS - check the first posts in corresponding threads in https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/nexus-6-original-android-development.3711/ about unofficial builds.

Ok thanks for the link. Don't you need gapps though if you want the Google Playstore? You don't need any apps from the Google playstore? I know you can install apk's but isn't the Playstore sort of a needed basic thing? I guess I can try without Gapps installed to see if I can repro.

Can anyone else that has the camera problem confirm whether they have or don't have Gapps ?

Thanks!

I have that one installed too and when it's crapped out, they all don't work. I'm pretty sure if you do any video calling you'll get the problem within a few minutes. I can't go more than 10-15 minutes without it crapping out... Very annoying for an otherwise amazing experience on my Nexus 6.

I'd also like to say that I am not rooted and don't want to be as would like bank apps to work normally. I think I read that I can have Magisk to be rooted, but fake to be not rooted, but that all seems complicated when i don't want to be rooted.

I'm mentioning being rooted, because i think someone said there is an app to Kill Camera, but quickly looking in Playstore, the app I found says you need to be rooted.

Is there an app or something i can do to get camera working without having to reboot?

Thanks
