[ROM][OFFICIAL][sunfish] LineageOS 18.1

[sinkoo1979]

I just flashed Lineage 19.1, so far so good.

However, I'm trying to reinstall Magisk but I'm unable to find the boot.img. Do you know how to find one?

Flash magisk zip through recovery

Thanks for this.
If I understand correctly...
You installed LOS19 and had trouble with voicemail.
You're rooted (Magisk) and were able to use 'Package Manager' to uninstall the system app "Phone".
Then, you were able to install a new system app "Phone" with the "Dialer.apk" file from LOS18
0310 build.
You no longer had voicemail issues.

Essentially but I also did try some extra stuff but those steps should work. It all could be done manually. Yes that is exactly seems the problem is with the app 'Dialer' itself.

Lost access to visual voicemail

LOS18.1 0317
No GApps
No Custom Kernel
No Magisk

I updated this weekend from the LOS 0217 build to the LOS 0317 build.
When I go to the voicemail tab of the phone app, I'm getting a message "can't activate visual voicemail".
Since it just started happening, I was wondering if anyone else who updated got this error.

Thanks.


EDIT:
Just noticed some changes on last build that relate to dialer/voicemail:

• Remove PhoneAccountHandle when building the intent to call Voicemail. android_packages_apps_Dialer
• Add a permission to guard receiving intents in StatusSmsFetcher. android_packages_apps_Dialer
• Use an explicit intent to start VoicemailChangePinActivityPeer. android_packages_apps_Dialer
• Hash ICC ID used in the notification tag for voicemail notifications. android_packages_apps_Dialer

I created an issue at GitLab:

"Can't activate visual voicemail" (#4523) · Issues · LineageOS / issues / android · GitLab

Expected Behavior Up until my last update (02-17), I was able to use visual voicemail as usual.

gitlab.com

I think its one of these, this is the log that standard out most to me when ever I was debugging the oob app.

Flash magisk zip through recovery

Wait, is there no need to patch the stock boot.img with Magisk if we're going to sideload Magisk in recovery anyway?

 

[mangokm40]

I hope it's ok to ask here...
I'm planning to upgrade to LOS19. I was going to try the instructions here:
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/sunfish/upgrade
Has anyone done this?
I have a question about this:
"Run adb sideload /path/to/zip (inserting the path to your LineageOS package)."
If I run that command, will it also update my recovery?
When I've done a "clean install", I flashed the recovery img file to boot partition first.
Will the recovery be updated when I run the "adb sideload LOS19.zip" command?

Thanks for your time.

Installing Magisk.zip via adb will do it for you.

 

[Lada333]

Installing Magisk.zip via adb will do it for you.

Sh*t. What's the point of patching the boot image then? Is that only necessary for the first time you install a custom ROM?

Just sideload via adb and look at the messages. It will patch the img.

And you have to do it just once. When getting an OTA it will reinstall Magisk for you.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think boot.img contains the recovery as well?
I think you can also just reboot to bootloader, use "fastboot flash --slot all boot boot.img", then reboot to recovery, go to Apply update -> Apply via adb, then use the adb sideload command.

(Keep in mind though that I've never installed LOS on my 4a, but the above mentioned install path has worked for me on several custom ROMs)

Since someone always does, I will remind us that this method is no longer supported.
You can see the install instructions here.
Of course, when I've needed Magisk, I've done it as you describe.

Since I use custom ROMs, I'll have to patch the boot.img of whatever ROM I'm planning on flashing, and then if the ROM has an updater, the patched boot image will save me the hassle of having to manually sideload Magisk?

I'd like to thank @fbievan for providing log information for the VVM error.

I'd like to thank @razorloves for working on a fix. Razorloves has already provided the work to the Android project. Let's hope all goes well. All of razorloves' work is greatly appreciated.

Razorloves was kind enough to let me try the fix on my phone. Since it's working for me, I asked if I could share it here. I thought others who have stayed on LOS18 might want it.

NOTE: I updated to the Apr 14 2022 build of LOS18.1 before trying the Dialer.apk. This was so we could see VVM work on Mar 10 build, then fail on Apr 14 build, then work after updating Dialer.apk.

I've attached "Dialer.zip", which contains the file razorloves created with the fix. There's also a sourceforge download link. I don't know if that would be better.

To try this fix....

Enable USB debugging in your phone.
Enable ADB root in your phone.
Use these adb commands....
'adb root'
'adb remount'
'adb shell ls -l product/priv-app/Dialer'
--you should see the Dialer.apk file is from 2008
'adb push Dialer.apk product/priv-app/Dialer/Dialer.apk'
'adb shell ls -l product/priv-app/Dialer'
--you should see the Dialer.apk file is now from 2022

reboot your phone.

Anyone planning on building this ROM themselves, now lineageos.org has moved to 19.1? I don't care much for Android 12 myself, I plan on staying on 11 for now. I've build LineageOS in the past for another device, I might give it a go again.

If I build it myself and want to share it, would I post it in this thread or create a new one? It wouldn't be an official build anymore, would it?

Anyone else planning on staying on LineageOS 18.1?

I think you'll have to create your own thread for that.
If you don't join LOS to become an official maintainer, then no, it won't be an official build anymore.

The thread title would be in opposition to your build, so you would definitely need to start a new thread. Also, most important details and links to new builds are posted in the OP, which you would not be able to edit unless its your own thread. And its just respectful to the orig dev.

I dont use LOS on this device or plan to. I am tempted to stick with A11. I am still running the stock A11, I too have built multiple ROMs for my previous devices (oreo being the last), but am hesitant at building for this device in case there are any "gotcha's" after spending hours building the env/source etc. I would be interested in following how you go . I havent seen too many details published for building ROMs for this device. Actually, I just realised I have not checked LOS web site, previously they had pretty thorough steps details on building their ROMs for official devices.

Updating to LOS19...Signature verification failed

I tried to update from LOS18 (04-14 build) to LOS19 by following directions here:
I got a long list of errors about reading certain bytes.
Then it said signature verification failed.

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the problem. Thanks.


These are the steps I took:

."adb reboot sideload"
--My phone rebooted to LOS recovery, ready to sideload.

."adb sideload lineage-19.1-20220602-nightly-sunfish-signed.zip"
--Phone gave many errors and then said
signature verification failed. Install anyway?
I said 'no'

 

[Lada333]

I said 'no'

Say 'yes'
