[ROM][OFFICIAL][T713][9] LineageOS 16.0

[Concept48]

Does anyone know how to reduce deep sleep battery drain in this rom? The rom works fairly well. But the deep sleep drain is about 1%/hr, comparing to 0.1%/hr from the stock android 7 rom.

You must see it this way , you upgraded your engine , so it will use more enegery also because it's a Custom Rom and not the official thing , these are the compromises you make when going Custom and leaving the official ,..sometimes camera don't work or GPS , we don't bother bout those things really , if you do ..I hate to say it , stay on the official. We chose for a upgraded system that brings more security above options.. There is a good LineageOS14.1 development as well for this device , so it's up to you to find the rom that suites you the best. Good luck friend.

Completely anecdotal, but I've found LineageOS to usually have better battery life than stock, and equivalent stand by battery discharge at worst. If course, your mileage may vary from build to build/model to model.

But I'm still not seeing the behavior that they're describing. So this is probably worth troubleshooting further.

Although, the answer is probably battery degradation. Which is a hardware issue that obviously the developers can't work around/fix.

Two questions and if either is stupid I apologize in advance.

1) I tried to install the unofficial lineage 16 over an unofficial lineage 17. (I did this because the camera didn't work fo rme with lineage 17. I didn't find a thread for Unofficial Lineage 16.) I made a backup of the lineage 17 with TWRP before doing this as I knew it probably wouldn't work. I then tried to restore the lineage 17 backup and it failed. I did not root the OS. So my first question is why did the backup fail when I tried to restore it??

2) I am using Lineage 16 because the working camera allows me to install the Verizon Message app which allows texting on the Verizon network using my cell phone number. If I have a daily version of Lineage 16 installed and I attempt to install a subsequent daily over it without wiping and reinstalling the data is this likely to work? I haven't installed ROMs recently. The last daily use of a ROM that I worked on was for my S5 phone. I am out of practice and have forgotten quite a bit about installing these. But my memory was that it was very common for me to install daily releases one over the other when I was modifying my S5.

You can't install ROMs over other versions. That's called a "dirty flash" and it's almost guaranteed to not work

If you're changing ROMs you have to factory reset, and format the data partition. Then you can flash the new one

This will destroy all data, files, apps on the device. So back up first

Thanks.

Anyway, I tried to use Lineage on my S2 for a couple of weeks. I didn't like it. It was flakey and it was so long ago that I don't remember exactly how many issues there were. I went back to the official firmware and it's working fine.

Some apps (like Amazon shopping) won't work with that level of Android but at least tyke OS is rock solid.

I bought an 8.4 inch Verizon based cell capable tablet that was brand new for about $100. The only drawback is that it doesn't feel as premium as the S2 and there is no automatic brightness based on room brightness.

Thanks for your answer.
