I've noticed on non-neo RR that expanded desktop causes UI crash that makes screen not turn on after sleep, I've turned off expanded and ta-dar no more crashing. I think the only problems I have are that, no nfc, and can't watch "Google play movie and TV" shows. Otherwise buttery smooth, I'm thinking I'll switch from lineage is to this from now on. If those problem get fixed.
Hi Guys. Also something new-ish that's cropped up....I seem to be getting the black screen of death. I did search the forum, and see that earlier someone had also mentioned this issue in about February. They had also mentioned that they were running substratum, so I'm wondering if it could be that. Who else here is running substratum, and have you experienced Black Screen of Death?
Try the last release I put out and see about expanded desktop. Also, I have nfc working and Netflix/Google play stuff can be played on my rom since the new drm blobs were added (you still will need to delete a lib file in order to resolve the playback - liboemcrypto.so needs to be deleted from vendor/lib).
I think I actually got to the bottom of this bug. I don't know how many other people it affects, it might be just Oreo, but I was running the second-to-last build of Neo's Oreo for over a year using expanded desktop with no problem, but when I updated to the final build of Neo's Oreo, I started getting this constant "sleep of death" behavior. What we know is happening is the phone wakes up but the screen doesn't turn on.
Anyway, in order to stop the sleep of death crashes (at least in Oreo), you have to disable the navigation bar BEFORE turning on expanded desktop. I know it sounds strange, but I've repeated this fix and this definitely solves the crashes (for me). I hope this helps somebody, it took me quite some time to figure out the pattern.
I know a lot of people are running Pie now but I've had to stick with Oreo because I use the phone for work and I have to minimize my risk of suffering from developmental bugs.
