[ROM][OFFICIAL][redfin] LineageOS 18.1

[aleasto]

New build out
March security patch

Will someone using Magisk and gapps please outline their steps to update the ROM?

When updating to the 17 Feb build from the earlier one, I tried sideloading the lineage zip but ran into an error. I don't remember what the error was, but I had to flash a factory image to get the device to boot again; I was then able to successfully flash the 17 Feb build.

Thanks!

Added instructions to OP

I have been using the 17 Feb build with gapps, Magisk and kdrag0n's Universal SaftyNet Fix Magisk module. For anyone needing more detailed instructions, this is how to update to the latest build:

After downloading latest ROM zip, gapps, and v22.0 or newer Magisk apk:
1. Reboot to LOS Recovery, apply update > apply from ADB
2. adb sideload <filename of ROM zip>, reboot recovery
3. apply update > apply from ADB, adb sideload <filename of gapps zip>
4. adb sideload <filename of magisk apk> reboot system

Edit: Thanks to @aleasto for laughing at my original post and sharing an easier way.

I have been using the 17 Feb build with gapps, Magisk and kdrag0n's Universal SaftyNet Fix Magisk module. For anyone needing more detailed instructions, this is how I updated to the latest build.

After downloading latest ROM.zip, boot.img, and gapps:
1. Reboot to LOS Recovery, apply update > apply from ADB
2. adb sideload <filename of ROM zip>, reboot recovery
3. apply update > apply from ADB, adb sideload <filename of gapps zip>, reboot to system
At this point I checked Magisk Manager, and Magisk was not installed.

To re-install Magisk:
4. Transfer boot.img to phone, and patch with Magisk Manager using Install > select and patch a file; transfer patched boot.img to computer
5. Reboot to bootloader, fastboot flash boot <filename of patched boot img>, reboot system
I checked Magisk Manager again; Magisk was installed, and SafetyNet passed. All Magisk modules were still enabled, and Manager retained root permissions and Hide settings.

I am not used to flashing without TWRP, so there may be a better way to do this; I am simply sharing what worked for me and hope it helps somebody else.

Just sideload magisk in recovery lol

Of course there's an easier way.

Is this correct? adb sideload ROM and reboot recovery, adb sideload gapps, adb sideload magisk.zip, reboot system

yes, except that from v22.0 magisk comes as "Magisk-v22.0.apk", which you can sideload despite being an apk (yes, i know it's confusing)

Did you flash ROM, reboot recovery, and then flash gapps?

Did you have gapps before updating?
If so, did you remember to flash gapps again after updating?

Yes; I learned about the flashable apk/zip right after you laughed at my post (which I edited; hopefully it is correct now).

Yes, but I thought it wasn't necessary to flash gapps again.
Now what to do, flash both again ?

Yes. Flash ROM, reboot recovery, flash gapps.

Has to do with the way phones with the a/b slots work. If you don't it doesn't finish the install proper

Hi all I am still on the Feb build, while playing with some audio files .. Only 1 speaker is working. So my question isn't there 2 speakers, and if so is this issue a ROM issue?

 

[indishcurry]

i successfully installed latest unofficial lineageos with pico gapps and magisk. almost everything is working, here my remarks:

• data transfer tool keeps crashing when trying to finish pixel setup
• playstore states phone as uncertified, but magisk hide works for other apps
• stock email client is missing

thanks @aleasto for your work!

 

[user602]

playstore states phone as uncertified, but magisk hide works for other apps

Once Magisk Hide is enabled for Play Store and Google Play Services, clear their storage and cache.

I'm not sure if anyone here uses substratum but has anyone tried theming the qs tiles? Im not sure if it's the rom missing the ability to do so, or the themes might not be compatible but to the developer, any idea what I'm talking about? Here's a pic of the issue

@aleasto Would you be able to share the manifest you build with?
