[ROM][OFFICIAL][redfin] LineageOS 18.1

[aleasto]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. LineageOS does still include various proprietary hardware-specific code.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Informations :

• This ROM uses source built kernel, kernel modules, boot kernel modules (vendor_boot) and vendor image.
• This ROM bundles the latest firmware so you don't have to worry about updating firmware beforehand.
• To use the eSIM you need to install GApps

Instructions :

• Download the latest boot.img and rom zip
• Boot to bootloader
• fastboot flash boot boot.img
• Boot to recovery
• Format data
• Flash LineageOS zip
• Optionally flash any addons:
  • Advanced > Reboot to recovery
  • Flash the addons
• Reboot

See https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/redfin/install for more detailed instructions​

Downloads :

• Official builds
• Archived unofficial builds: sourceforge
• Optional GApps: MindTheGapps or opengapps nano

Reporting Bugs

• Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
• If it is a random reboot, grab /sys/fs/pstore/* (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
• If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log

Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved.

Known Issues

• On the first boot, you might be presented the message "SIM Manager has crashed". You can safely ignore it.

Source code will be uploaded to LineageOS repos soon.
Meanwhile you can view my github

A Magisk module for GApps might fix the eSIM issue.

Hi,
That's excellent news, thank you for your work.

Source code will be uploaded to LineageOS repos soon.

Does that mean it would then become official?

Great work @aleasto!

Can't wait to try this Rom, I was waiting for it.

Just a quick question: maybe I'm just a noob, but how can I install the zip without a dedicated recovery? I mean, I'm stuck at point 4 in your instructions.

Thanks a lot!

You can't.
Where exactly are you stuck? To reboot into recovery simply select "Recovery Mode" from the bootloader screen.
The previous steps installed Lineage Recovery.

I have not been able to download the files from Google Drive; "Sorry, you can't download this file a this time. Too many users have viewed or downloaded this file recently"
__

Edit: works again

 

[switcher]

got a "failed to read" error when flshing zip
Step 1/2 (47%)
after downloading the zip again the same error appeared but the third time it worked, !

 

[morpheus620]

the process in cmd hangs but the ROM is flashed. just wait until it's done.

 

[Smrurbo]

Gaps?

 

[aleasto]

Gaps?

I decided that given the issues with flashing system addons, until a solution is found by our team i'll also be sharing builds with minimal gapps included. You can already find one in the drive folder.

 

[morpheus620]

ROM booted with me and magisk gapps working fine.

 

[Smrurbo]

now everything is fine, everything you need is in the firmware, many thanks to the author for the work

Hey everyone, I wanna give an update on my experience with this Rom!

First of all: great job @aleasto!
This Lineage is definitely smoother than stock rom. Seriously, my Pixel 5 feels like a true flagship now, finally the 765 is working like a charm.

_

Now, some little features I do really enjoy:

- percentage only in the status bar (no battery icon needed)
- you can hide the navigation bar (the one at the bottom of the screen) but use the phone as if it was visible
- FINALLY no google assistant swipe-up from the bottom of the screen!

There are also some little bugs, nothing serious:

- with google camera, changing from portrait mode to standard mode (and viceversa) usually slows down a little bit. Maybe it's just my gcam version.
- vocal messages: recording vocal audio messages often does not work. The recording is muted, I haven't figure out how am I able to fix it, but sometimes I am able to do it.

_

A quick guide on how to install this ROM (for lineage os newbies like me):

1. Unlock the bootloader (here you can read how)
2. Download all the files from the first post and put them in the "platform tools" folder
3. Put the Pixel 5 in fastboot mode and connect it to the computer
4. Open a prompt window in the platform tools folder
5. Digit these commands:
   - fastboot flash boot boot.img
   - fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
   - fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
6. Now you have to reboot into the recovery from the fastboot menu, just use the volume buttons to search the recovery option and select it with the power button.
7. You will enter the Lineage Recovery, then select "apply update" -> "apply from ADB"
8. Go back to your cmd window on your computer and write:
   "ADB sideload xxxxxxxxx.zip" where the "x part" is the name of the ROM zip file (remember to put .zip at the end of the command)
9. Just wait until the end of the installation (around 5-8 minutes) and then reboot the phone from Lineage OS recovery.
10. Enjoy!

Personally I wasn't able to install magisk correctly, if anyone got it working just let me know!

Again, thanks Ale for the awesome rom, can't wait to see it becoming official!

Percent only

there was a problem with the microphone, they didn't hear me, but earlier on the proton firmware it was like that too, the solution: to flash another core. Here I also decided to replace the kernel

That's a pity. I came from Galaxy S8 to Pixel 5 because I LineageOS on S8 had the same problem and I felt that switching to Pixel 5 I would be less likely to encounter problems with basic phone functions. The progress so far is incredible at such an early stage so hopefully this microphone issue can be ironed out eventually.
