[ROM][OFFICIAL][RACER]Lineage OS 17.1

@SyberHexen have you had any luck tracking these reboots down? Any hints at all would be useful.

 

[skalogre]

It happened to me last night.

Curiously, the reboot was long and rough. Usually the reboot is is pretty fast, but for that one and one or two others, the LineageOS boot up graphic ran for a few minutes and eventually froze. The the phone rebooted and the boot up process finished that time. Shouldn't that be a clue about the cause of the random reboots?

Could we at least agree that the black screen issue has been fixed? Anybody still getting that?

Would you happen to use Nova Launcher and/or have the built-in Seedvault backup setup and running, by any chance?
I suspect those two being involved.

I'm not using either of those.

Just a note of thanks. And one question.

I just installed it (no google spyware. yet.) and I like it. Thank you again.

The LOS camera app is a bit weak. It works, but is there a GCAM port available, or a more feature-rich app like the stock rom app?

First - thank you to the maintainers for your work.

Does anyone else have audio problems when playing via the 3.5mm headphone jack? Audio over Bluetooth works fine, but the aux jack messes up the sound in a very strange way. When playing a song for example, the first 1sec or so sounds fine, then it's like a bandpass filter kicks in and a lot of the highs and lows get lost. The filter sometimes sweeps around a bit, and occasionally more low-end comes through but it's mostly very nasty compressed midrange. Can't find any device settings that would influence this. I disabled AudioFX completely although it was already off, and that made no difference.

If needed, I can record a sample of the output for debugging purposes.

Edit 2: I just filed a detailed bug report, so hopefully this can go through the proper channels and be addressed. https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/4291

Edit 1: I'm not the only one - someone on the LOS subreddit reported the exact same problem 4 months ago.

Is there any way to get the moto edge gestures back after installing LOS? (edge panel stuff)

 

[Remedio segura]

Hello, will there be any update to lineage 18.1 or 19.1? Sorry for my English and translated it with google.

 

[Nuub8339]

Still can't get safety net to pass tried setting the device fingerprint and the safety net fix nothing works

I'm not getting voicemail indicator, is this something that anyone else is having any issues with? My carrier is Straight Talk.

Did you guys know that LineageOS's Screen Cast is working now?!


The sound isn't working though. Is it supposed to? It does in Airplay mode with videos.

Another thing is that the Screen Cast icon in the status bar is the first one I've ever seen there that's not monochromatic. It has red in it!

Edit: I forgot about the battery icon having red in it when the battery is very low. But that's still only 2 non-monochromatic icons.

If anyone else is wondering why there's been no OS updates in a month and why this thread has gone quiet in the last few months, it's because development of 17 has been discontinued to get ready for Android 12. See here:

LineageOS 17.1 is being dropped as work on LineageOS 19.0 continues

In a Reddit post, the LineageOS team revealed that LineageOS 17.1, based on Android 10, has now reached retirement.

www.xda-developers.com

So what's going on with development of 18 or 19 for Racer? Are we not gonna see official builds of 18 either to make room for 19? I'm perfectly happy with 17 except for the (not actually random) rebooting problem. Its happening more often now. If somebody could please fix that or at least tell us why exactly it happens, I'll wait patiently for future development. I switched to using LineageOS to de-googlfy my phone, which 17 does a great job of, so I'm a long way from giving up on LineageOS.

There's alpha or beta builds of 18 and 19 for Racer here from last year, but I guess it wouldn't be a good idea to do more than kick the tires or go for a test drive with them?

It's was mentioned in this thread that development of 18 is being discussed on a Telegram page. Link please? Thanks. I've never used Telegram by the way.

Agree on all points.

Yea man, I started down this path on a Google pixel 3a XL and could not believe the difference in performance when I switched to Lineage OS. I also noticed how much less traffic my Pi-hole instance was blocking while running Lineage.

I found the project to be a resounding success and ordered the Moto Edge racer - price-to-specs ratio was hard to ignore.

I'm not necessarily interested in always running the latest Android version. I want to avoid running unofficially supported Lineage OS roms.

I'm especially interested in security patches. With Lineage OS 17 retired, will the security updates also cease?

 

[Heat84]

LinrageOS 18.1 for Racer is officially here!

I was notified through 17.1's. updater, as I assume everyone else will be:

Upgrade instructions:

Upgrade LineageOS on racer | LineageOS Wiki

wiki.lineageos.org

ROM: https://download.lineageos.org/racer


I think I'll let the guinea pigs work out the bugs before upgrading myself. Let's hope the (not actually random) reboot bug has been fixed.

 

[Remedio segura]

I can not install this rom or any other after the security patch of February 1, it stays in the logo and restarts, sometimes it enters and when it detects the Wi-Fi network or mobile signals it turns off. Anyone else with this problem or is it just me? any help to reinstall this rom?

 

[Heat84]

Do you mean this security patch? It's not possible for a patch installed in a previously running ROM to have any effect in a newly flashed ROM. Maybe when you backed up everything when the previous ROM was running, that included the security patch. When you restore and reinstall everything, make sure not to include the patch. Or maybe you can just uninstall the patch and not have to re-flash the ROM. It doesn't sound like you're getting that far though. You didn't get the ROM from some dodgy place did you? Does the stock ROM have this problem? You're not talking about a BIOS level security patch are you? That's all I've got.

Apparently it's just you that's having this problem.

Hi i just installed 18.1 on the xt2063-3. I tried with the official lineage os recovery and twrp 3.5. it just bootloops.
Are there 17.1 builds archived somewhere?
How can i issue this to the developer?
Thanks!

 

[Heat84]

Here's one place: https://lineageosroms.com/racer/
But the last build came out in I think March. The latest build on that site is from February.

Did you download 18.1 from the link I posted above? The boot loop was happening for me when I flashed an alpha or beta version of 18.1 just to look around a few months ago.

 

[P2 friend]

I did download it from the link above. lineage-18.1-20220422-nightly-racer-signed.zip
Can I debug this further?

 

[P2 friend]

Thanks for the link, I got one of the 17.1 images (only the one from January and only with twrp) to boot. I will later try to upgrade to 18.1 and report here.
