[ROM][perseus][13] LineageOS 20.0 [UNOFFICIAL]

[Mr_A_Warner]

Good Morni,
Congratulations for the work, the rom is very fast and stable. I managed to get through Safenet but I couldn't use Android Auto, even adding it through Systemizer. Any idea?

Couldn't say. I've never used Android Auto so far. If you can get logs when you're trying, I can see what might be causing it?

 

[Mr_A_Warner]

Having trouble with Gapps working. Google service and Playstore crashing with or without Capps install.
Anyone know of a fix for this?

Which Gapps package are you using?

 

[TurasPl]

Android Auto shows error 22. Which is often when AA is not part of the system package. Since Your gapps are vey lite version (works find for me) i install mindtheGapps package - and its crashing constantly

Okay, so error 22 is when you've installed it from play store. I'll look into different install options and hope to have a solution for next release

I solve the issue (i think).
I used NikGApps full package and all works. (at least for now).

BTW - super work. Its a shame that so capable device like Mi Mix 3 has to join an e-waste family even though its run latest Android flawless. And EU is fighting Apple over the plug instead of forcing longer support on producers

New Update!

January Security Patch update has been released, please see OP for download link.

Sorry it's a little later than expected.

Dirty flashed it over the December release. Also reflashed gapps and magisk as I had those installed too (not sure if it was necessary).

All working great! Didn't notice any changes other than security patch dates, still running it as my daily.

Opted for modded gcam in the end, older version, so only 1 camera working but no need for Google photos app

Yeah, security patch is the main update here. Nothing else really notable

I flashed your LOS19 ROM before realizing this newer version exists. Can I dirty flash upgrade? I'd hate to have to setup all my stuff again.

Also, is this one using a system_ext partition as well? Magisk seems to be working from what I can tell in this thread, so I'd like to know if you fixed the problems or just didn't add the troubled feature yet.

P.S.: Thanks for maintaining the probably best custom ROM for this device, man!

edit: while I'm here asking questions, could someone tell me why I can't boot TWRP from fastboot? The unofficial TWRP 3.3.1 I installed in my previous endeavours with this damned phone still works, and I'm scared to flash a newer official version if those don't work. I can't find the exact TWRP I flashed either, so I'd like to take some safety precautions.

In theory you can dirty flash, but if you get any issues after, I'd ask you to do a backup, and clean flash.

Yes, system_ext is active, and Magisk is also working at the same time.

P.S.: You're welcome!

I've never had problems with TWRP. You need to do 'fastboot reboot' and then hold the recovery combo to boot into recovery. Hope this helps

this rom is fantastic, it revived my mi mix 3. I also tried the pixel extended but it has some small bugs. This one is perfect!! Thanks so much!! The only thing I notice is that unfortunately the battery doesn't last long, with the extended pixel the battery lasts much longer. Also with lineage using BSG 8.6 gcam both lenses work, with pixel extended only one lens works!!

Most updates on dated phones accelerate their obsolescence and not the opposite.
It's best to keep a software version that runs well, Mix 3 with Miui 12/12.5 on Android 10 runs well and runs everything.
There is phones with more updates but are only partial updates and most of them originates more problems than solve them.

The lack of updates only start to affect phones after 5 or 6 years due to the apps updates that stop working in ancient versions.
Mi mix 3 has even more 2 or 3 years until that point where we can't update and YouTube because they stop to support Android 10.

EU is not fighting Apple, they are fighting the disparity of plugs in the market in every portable device and that's a bigger problem than using a phone with a software 2 years aged that runs everything and only is E waste because people want updates even if they ruin the phone experience.

My girlfriend iPhone 8 last update simply ruined the phone and it become slow and stutter, the battery started to drain quickly. What's the point of support a phone this way? It's better to stop launching updates after 3 years than doing this.
Worst of that is, it's a misleading update because we don't have every functionality of the iOS updates after their 1st year. They deliver a limited update completely different of what a XS or a 11/12/13 receive.
The only thing that is important is security updates for companies phones.

apple is known for slowing their older phones down on purpose - via rate limiting the CPU and generally doing bad stuff to the software. That's got little to do with the OS itself. My old Motorola X 2014 probably isn't able to run android 13 smoothly, but that's almost a decade away from its launch. The Mi Mix 3 can easily run android 13, the only reason it struggles now is because of the ****show that is MIUI. since I switched to this custom ROM, it's been a lot smoother, easier on the battery, background apps aren't being killed anymore (oh my GOD, why is this a thing???), and I didn't even disable as many animations as possible like I did on MIUI.
corporate software just sucks, that's all there is to it. and planned obsolescence is a thing.

oh and the EU IS doing something against apple slowing their old phones down on purpose iirc. it just takes an ungodly amount of time. they've already been sued a couple times by various european countries from what I can gather.

sorry for the rant, this is just something that really gets me heated. companies ruining their hardware for profit is just… ugh

thanks to Mr_A_Warner again. I had to fight against MIUI, now LineageOS fights alongside me. And we're winning.

Contrary what people think MIUI is a smooth system but what makes the system start to slow down is doing updates over and over without factory reset.
If we factory reset the phones before every major update they correct the inconsistencies with apps and this is valid to all ROMS and OS.
MIUI is more controlled than AOSP based ROMS with what is on memory but you can configure apps behavior on memory and if they autostart or not.

You need to compare Miui after a reset with this ROM after a clean install not a Miui full of apps and full of apps updates residues with a new installed ROM.

What will be the performance of this AOSP ROMS after 2 years of apps installed/uninstalled and their updates?

Even AOSP customs ROMs discontinue the phones that are rare, they have a hand of phones they continue to officially update even after 5 or 6 years like some Oneplus.

When we check long-term reviews and side by side comparisons MIUI is far from bad (Samsung OS is slower since day 1,less smooth and less quickly opening heavy apps like games and they sell more only because the brand loyalty). MIUI has a lot of options and functions years ahead of what Google offer at their Pixel ROMS.
I know Miui since version 2 or 3, that was one of the main custom ROMS along side with Cyanogen that everyone wanted to flash in other brand phones.

Every phone and system is prone to become more slow due to multiple reasons, battery wealth that after cpu/gpu voltage stability, updates badly installed or adapted with what is already installed in the phones or changes in OS program that creates slowdowns on purpose to force people to buy new phones.
.
But my experience while doing support to generic people is, they change their phones because battery start to fail and not because the system is not with last OS version and brands know that.
.
EU is about to force brands to design phones with easy to replace batteries and they need to support phones for 5 years with OS updates.
.
But if we see global panorama only Europe is doing something to help their citizens and force brands to be more responsible with what they sell and what they do aftersales.
That's crazy that we can't repair last gen iphones at home without problems of disfunctions.

I'm comparing clean flashed MIUI 12 with my full setup with clean flashed LineageOS 20 with my full setup. what's the point of comparing empty OSs? MIUI worked badly from day 1. MIUI.eu was only slightly better. Both kept killing davdroid, despite me disabling that energy saving thingy for it. I only changed to LineageOS recently though, because MIUI started bootlooping somtimes. I guess, with root, it was good enough.

I understand companies and individuals have to stop supporting devices at some point, but when a single guy with some free time can get android 13 working while a multi-billion-dollar-company can't even get android 11, that's where it gets embarassing. Maybe stop cramming proprietary garbage into your OS and then you could update it more easily.

Samsung's current OS is also very bad, yes, but you're comparing the plague with cholera, so to speak. I can't compare them directly though, I've only had the misfortune of using MIUI so far.

Yes, miui might've been good once. it isn't anymore. Cyanogenmod died and LineageOS rose from its ashes. Oneplus decided to use the mediocre OxygenOS instead. Things changed. For the better, maybe? LineageOS is a godsend, and there's so many good smaller distributions because of it.

If OTA updates slow down the phone, it's the fault of the company. They know the OS they're upgrading from, so they could clean up after it if they cared. They usually don't.

Yes, I'm grateful for the EU and what it does for its citizens. Where would we be without it? Ultimately, companies don't care if they make a good product, they only care if they make a good buck. And the EU is here to make them make good, long-lasting products. However, we can't ignore the recent right-to-repair movement in the USA, and various smaller endeavours by the indian government. People are trying. It's going to get better.

What I have seenin this particular phone, Miui suffer a degradation in general when they updated from Miui 10 and android 9 to Miui 11/12 android 10.

The right to repair is the biggest bullshit of some companies because is the proof that they stole that right away from owner sometime in the past.
I repaired a lot of iphones during 7 years without problem, using multiple grade of quality, or software limitations.
Nowadays it's impossible to do that without go to the apple service.
The right to repair was a real thing when they start to create problems to 3rd party repairs.
A lot of people now will through away their phones when the same people usually search for freelancer technicians to do the job with a fraction of the price or some good discount with original quality parts.

will you keep supporting LineageOS now your PixelExtended rom is live and official?

I'll continue to support LineageOS until another maintainer comes along and wants to take over
