[ROM][OFFICIAL][pioneer][11] LineageOS 18.1

[Dctruc]

@LuK1337 Can this Rom use dual sim? I inserted 2 sims, but my phone shows only one?

Any of you use the built in AOSP keyboard? Does this happen to you?

OTA from lineage-18.1-20210408 to lineage-18.1-20210415 worked for me without problems (however, no Google apps, root, magisk, priviledged extensions, ...).

The battery charging issue seems to be resolved. Thanks @LuK1337 for fixing this and maintaining the XA2 in general Also thanks to all testing the boot.img.

not finding an option for flashing zip with lineagrecovery

IIRC, you can flash ZIPs in the LineageOS Recovery with the option "Apply update" in the main menu. Then just select the source for the zip: ADB or you memory card. I installed OpenGApps in 17.1 on my families phones this way.

Hello,

i am new to this forum and would like to flash my XA2 from stock android 9 to LOS 18.1. So ich checked this thread, the install instructions for the device at the lineage website and have now some questions about it:

Do i have to flash the firmware according to this guide? The firmare currently installed on my phone is 50.2.A.3.77

Did anybody backupped the trim are partition/DRM keys? is it important for the XA2?

the following step of the LOS-instructions i dont understand:

In some cases slot b can be unpopulated or contain much older firmware than slot a, leading to various issues including a potential hard-brick. We can ensure none of that will happen by copying the contents of slot a to slot b. This step is NOT optional.


To do this, sideload the copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip package by doing the following:

1. Download the copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip file from here.
2. Sideload the copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip package:
   
   • On the device, select “Apply Update”, then “Apply from ADB” to begin sideload.
   • On the host machine, sideload the package using: adb sideload copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip

the best googleapps-package at the moment is mindthegapps?

the charging issue is now solved by a new build or still that boot.img workaround is needed?

i know, some really noobish questions, but maybe someone can have mercy

It's almost as if forgetting to reflash gapps was a bad idea...

@LuK1337
Do I understand you correctly: if I use TWRP for the update, I have to reflash the GAPPS everytime?
Thanks, I was not aware of that and never had to do it until Lineage 17.1.
I've been using LineageOS since it replaced Cyanogenmod.

...yes...

No idea then. Try using MindTheGapps instead of NikGapps.

You were right, NikGapps causes the issue with OTA! Reinstalled everything with open_gapps-arm64-11.0-micro-20210130-TEST - OTA works like a charm. Thanks!

@LuK1337 is this Rom can use dual sim? I inserted 2 sims, but my phone has shown only one?

@LuK1337 I just wanted to say thank you for your great work! Your work makes our phones live longer, and that's worth real money (donation is on it's way ;-))! I am really happy with how my phone works now. Usually you are only hearing from us when something is not working, which is probably not super motivating

That's a fair thing to say. We generally post only when something is wrong. Thanks @LuK1337 for providing us an excellent ROM and your support.

@LuK1337 is this Rom can use dual sim? I inserted 2 sims, but my phone has shown only one

Hello,

here a similar "problem". Insertet 2 sims, can see both SIMs and can toggle them via "Calls/SMS preference" in Menu (with sucess for calling and SMS).

But toggeling via "Mobile data" in Menu does not "activate" the other SIM. Its only "deactivate" the actual SIM.

Bit Backgrond:
I own two H4113. One (older) with LOS 17.1 and other with LOS 18.1. For data I can only use the SIM-Slot which i had choose during the installation process. (In my case in the LOS17.1-mobile SIM-Slot1, in the LOS18.1-mobile SIM-Slot2)

(And also from my side -> Thanks @LuK1337 for providing us an excellent ROM and your support.)

Hi,

During the last few days I started to notice an issue with charging. I plug the cable, the phone is charging, then I'm noticing that it stopped charging. Plug/unplug - it charges again, but in a 5-10-20 mins stops charging again. Does this issue look like the same which was discussed here before?

After a reboot, my camera app disappeared again from the home screen and from the launcher/drawer. Only way to access it again is by double pushing the power button.

This time, I'm on a clean installation without magisk. Only additional I flashed was the f-droid privileged extension.

I guess you can say "oh snap!"

I noticed that when connected to a quick charger, while the battery charges fast initially, it charges really slow for the last 25% or so. Not just slow, realllllllly slow. Is this the expected behaviour for this phone?

See screenshot. I am on the last 6% and it says it will take almost 20 mins more.

That's a different issue than I experienced in the beginning of official 18.1. The issue I experienced (and which is fixed now) is that the phone charges one time after a reboot - without stopping.

So the procedure was:

• Reboot phone.
• Charge one time without problems.
• After unplugging the charger, every charge attempt will fail until a reboot (however, the phone seemed to use the power from the charger instead of from the battery).

hello,

is there also a semc camera addon for lineage 18.1?

It was a problem with my charger. Took new one and it works fine now.

Hello,

does somebody has experiences with adoptable/adopted storage with LOS 18.1 on XA2?

Installation via commandline/sm runs cleanly, migration of data works without any issue, but...

when accessing data in adopted storage, the files are there, with correct size, but unaccessible again, everything is "corrupted data".

Even Apps, that install to "SDcard" now, are "reset'ted" to initial state like new installation after every reboot. No app can read it's own actual configuration.

Adopted Storage is installed and working without any issue, but it's unuseable. Sigh.

What's to do?

Thanks for any hint,
samhhmobil
