[ROM][OFFICIAL][Peregrine][7.X] LineageOS 14.1

[sdembiske]

For those of you wishing to update to the DECEMBER '20 Security Patches, I've uploaded one of my unofficial builds that is based off the official build files with the latest security patches added (refer to post # 1243 for further elucidation). I review and test these patches in LineageOS Gerrit when they're posted, before uploading for your personal use.

FYI: for those of you building the rom for yourselves, the November and December updates, have been 'officially' merged in now. No changes of note to warrant another upload to the current rom download available at the link below.

Note: Requires Full Clean Flash when installing rom for 1st time from an official build or encrypting for first time - in TWRP wipe Cache, Dalvik cache, System and importantly format Data > Yes before flashing the appropriate Open Gapps - reboot, encrypt if desired, then in TWRP install preferred root (latest Magisk version recommended) and Xposed, if desired as well. Important: Do a nandroid backup first, including your data - copy any data/media files (e.g., photos, videos etc.), on your SD card over to your PC.

If you're coming from one of the unofficial updates I uploaded previously, I recommend you do a regular clean flash (wipe Cache, Dalvik cache & System), re-install Open Gapps, preferred root & Xposed (if required).

Re: Encryption issues - use twrp-3.1.0-0-peregrine or twrp-3.1.1-0-peregrine. I've tested them and they work. Note: Refer to post # 1274 by @pigeons9 (and remember to hit the Thanks button at the bottom of his post if it helps) for a possible solution to solving encryption issues with newer TWRP versions.

I review and test these patches in LineageOS Gerrit when they're posted, before uploading for your personal use.

I review and test these patches in LineageOS Gerrit when they're posted, before uploading for your personal use.

Note: This update and the January '21 are both large and will likely require downgrading to Open Gapps PICO in order to fully install to the system partition.

Nano just barely fits on mine. 79.3 MB free with stock dialer and Magisk 22.

I installed a Pico version from Jan. 10 and have 268 MB free in system. What I have noticed is that later versions of OpenGapps are larger in size, so one thing to do is check out older versions. There is also a new thread you could check out on XDA - BiTGApps.
You can remove system apps you don't need or want, move apps over to your SD card etc. Failing that you can try expanding your system partition with cache being the most likely place to get the additional storage from.

Personally I wouldn't recommend using an old version of Gapps since some parts (like the DialerFramework) are only available in the Gapps package and can't be upgraded thru the Play Store.

If someone wants to make some space, they could exclude individual apps. For example, Google Search can be excluded by creating a file named "gapps-config.txt" that contains the text "Search" and placing it in the same folder as the Gapps package before flashing. See here for more info:

Google dialer framework can be installed with a Majisk module or as an apk from apk mirror which then allows the download and update of Google phone from Play Store.

You may also want to refer to this piece from OpenGapps: https://opengapps.org/blog/post/2016/05/13/google-dialer-for-all/ from May 13, 2016. It would appear your example may not be entirely relevant.

Yes and no - that post refers to the Dialer app being available from the Play Store, not the framework.

The advisory to regularly flash an updated GApps package to update DialerFramework remains intact. It can only receive security updates if you update your Open GApps installation and not via the Play Store. Make sure to update your Open GApps installation at least once a month, after Google’s monthly security updates are added to the Open GApps repository.

TBH I'm not sure whether the framework is really needed. Maybe I'm just flashing it out of habit?

Newcomer to this "ROM" world, I would like first to thank you for all your work.

Thanks to sdembiske's tutorial, I've just finished to build my first unofficial ROM (with many warnings ) on a Linux Mint fresh OS.

It lasted:
- 3h30 on a 10 years old Athlon II X3 445 cpu + 8 GB DDR3 the first time;
- 2h30 the second time (thanks to ccache ?)

I didn't manage to build it with only 4 GB DDR2... I should spend more time trying different build options (JACK toolchain options are cryptic for me)

Now, I have to flash my Moto G 4G (never done it before !).

Question1 : does someone know how long will the 14.1 branch be maintained please ?

Thank you all.

The rom for this phone is no longer 'officially' maintained by LineageOS - it is up to contributing members to keep it updated. I took it on to post my builds based off the official for other members not able to build it for themselves or unwilling to. It will be maintained by me here for those individuals as long as the phone is still in use in our family and AOSP and Google security updates are made available for the 14.1 LineageOS version and are merged in by the LineageOS Gerrit contributors and verifiers and team members authorized the merge the updates in.

 

[franchips]

All right, I managed to flash the ROM I built and my smartphone is now far faster than before !

The only issue I encouter now is that I can not encrypt my phone data : when I click on the "encrypt the phone" button, the Android green robot appears and then the phone immediately reboots.

Many thanks

First, congratulations! You've taken your first step into a larger world.

Second, I don't know why it would fail to encrypt, but I do think that encrypting it would remove any speed gains. The CPU does not have hardware acceleration for encryption (it's just too old.)

Third, Look in the phone settings under "About phone". What date is listed under "Android security patch level"?

Are you using the TWRP versions listed in the Security update posts?

Hi Mogster2K, thank you for your reply and for your congratulations : the security patch date is April 5, 2021.

Hi sdembiske, thank you for your reply. You are right, I used the last twrp-3.5.2_9-0-peregrine.img... It seems that I missed the post refering to this.


So I will give up encryption because now my phone is running perfectly and I don't want to break anything.

Next step : May security updates ! I hope I will not make mistakes and erase data...

Is there any benefit from installing latest peregrine LineageOS 14.1 / Android 7.x builds? Google has stopped supporting Android 7.x more than a year ago. Unfortunately I cannot upgrade to LineageOS 16.0 due to some stability issues (despite carefully following upgrade instructions).
