After installation of ROM zip file had to resize system to installed nano gapps. No sim detected with sky UK sim. Couldn't connect to home WiFi either. Seems to be smooth as butter though. Great work dev.??

 

[Hyerald]

Have some problems installing the ROM. First there's error 7 (image with description below). but rebooting to system the ROM runs without configure, except wifi couldn't connect.

I'm using TWRP 3.3.1, with clean flash. trying with TWRP 3.1.1, same problem.

Great work, I'm using Lineage 16 actually.

 

[Xinto]

Thanks man, never thought it would be released today, will definitely install it! You are a real hero <3

Yea , same as me here..
1. I get error..7 after I flashed the ROM
2. and No sim detected (IMEI Is unknown)

Except two mentioned i don't try anything
I did above with clean install, resized system without flash any gapps. @bgcngm Sorry I didn't take any logs
Btw the ROM is smooth and fast

error 7 problem exist here too, should i flash gapps and reboot or there's something that i must do?

 

[Pumpiron579]

I also got error 7 after flashing the rom.

 

[Phalangioides]

And the old but gold M8 gets to live through another android version, amazing job.

 

[ainaz]

It's up to you. Cause this ROM still testing, so if you want to flash gapps, you need to resize system partition first

Yeah, didn't flash gapps, there's literally no point for that because neither wifi or mobile data is working, btw even tho this rom is pretty much unusable now (I'm not complaining), I'm not gonna roll back to 16, I'll continue testing and report some bugs here.
Regards

I'll fix that as soon as possible. That's a script that's failing during the installation and causing the breakage in telephony.

Don't worry mate, you already made our lifes happier, thanking isn't enough for what you just did, here's some bugs that I've noticed to make investigations easier (don't hurry to fix them, you can relax, you deserved it)

1. Sim card not working
2. Wifi is not connecting to a network
3. SystemUI restarts if screen recording (from feature flags) is activated
4. UI elements sometimes mess up
5. Some Los features are missing (probably because of los 17 isn't finished)¹
6. While flashing gapps, it says that i have unsupported version, and asks me to install supported version for device (Android 5.1.1 sdk 22) (unnofficial gapps from XDA)
7. Battery percentage is not showing up
8. Camera jitter persists here too (this time, switching to video mode and back to pic mode doesn't help, jitter is only gone in video mode)
9. While closing app, sometimes animation fps drops (but that's probably problem of the device)

1: 1. Los dark mode is not working
2. Battery status style can not be choosen (because of No. 7 bug),
3. Sometimes features under "advanced" or any other tab aren't showing up and section is blank, however headlines can be seen

That's pretty much it, considering that this build was released today, i am not complaining about this bugs, only feature i want to be quickly fixed is sim card issue, otherwise you did a really great job

Update:
1: 4. SElinux is disabled, maybe you did not enable it in case, but reported it anyways

Update 2:
Also noticed that I can't receive files via Bluetooth, using nixplorer to share them but it just says "file not sent", i had that problem with los 16 too

New build is up. Should be working now.

Hi @bgcngm,

I noticed in Settings that the Wi-Fi MAC address is all zeros (see attached screenshot). I assume this is why WiFi won't connect? Could the device be looking for the WiFi info in the wrong path, since Android 10 uses a system-as root setup? I know that's new for our legacy device.

TWP

EDIT: Won't we also need an updated TWRP that handles SAR for zips to flash properly? That would explain the issue people are seeing when trying to flash GApps. @Captain_Throwback indicates that in the TWRP Testing Slack (he also posted a test build with it there). I also noticed that the zip still doesn't have support for "htc_m8ul" as a device variant. Is there any chance that can be added as well?
