LineageOS 18.1 for Huawei P8 Lite 2017

*** Stable Version ***

About
LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

NOTES
* For rooting with magisk use this.
* If you face corrupted storage issues you need to go back on emui and re-install the rom or fastboot erase userdata + twrp format data.
* I recommend NikGapps core with SetupWizard add-on.
* Use 8.0.0.360 or maximum .400 firmware for booting the rom.
* Gapps can may give "Uncertified device" error and abort the google account login, use this guide to fix it (thanks to @latviandude )
* If you want VoLTE/Wifi Calling working flash this zip

** You must be decrypted for booting this rom **
Before following the installation steps format data and flash this file via TWRP.

Changelog from initial build
*
Fixed offline charger for all devices
* Fixed gapps uncertified error
* Improved performance
* Fixed animations janks and lags

@DarkJoker360 hi

- No problem for installing the ROM and Google Apps (NikGapps-basic-arm64-11-20201231)
- Playstore: ok
- Wifi: ok
- Touchscreen : ok
- Bluetooth: ok
- Location: ko (google maps does not give the correct location)
- Cast / Miracast: ko (smartphone reboot)
- NFC: ok (service started but intermittent crash when reading an NFC card)
- Camera lineage OS: ko (unable to take a photo)
- Gcam Go : ok

I continue the tests ....
- Lineage Camera : OK
- Location : Google Maps, fails to detect correct location (some meters accuracy inside house but I'm sure it works, u just need to go outside and do some walking to get more accurate location)
- Gallery : Ok.
- Fingerprint : At first I couldn't add my FP, then I went to "Settings/System/Gestures" and enabled "Swipe fingerprint for notifications" and tested if I can scroll notifications with it, after that I disabled it and then I noticed that I could add FP. So in the end it WORKS.
- Calling : If you are using NikGapps, u need to go to "Settings/Apps and Notifications/Default Apps" and set default Phone app/Dialer. Then you can make calls without problems.
- NFC : I can enable it and disable but I can't use it for mobile contactless payments because my Banking app shows that I'm rooted, even I have no root enabled.
- Performance, animations : Ok.
- RIL/Network : As I have Latvia SIM Card and Dual Sim Variant - PRA-LX1, after first boot I notice - Network restart issue. To fix it you need to set PIN Lock from different device, if it doesn't help, you need to disable Dual sim with "persist.radio.multisim.config=none" and reboot ur device, usually it works, else u need to go to Settings and reset APN settings.
- Battery : Ok.
- Audio : OK.
- Playstore/Gapps : OK
- Bluetooth : Haven't tested yet.
- Cast Screen : Haven't tested yet.
- Touchscreen : OK.
- Messaging : Seems to be OK.
- Notification LED/Light : can't be tested, cuz it's dead for me. :(
- Sounds for notifications/alarm : Can't be found, you need to download and install "Google/Pixel Sounds app" and set ringtone sound manually.
- Brightness : Seems to be +- good.
- Root : As default it doesn't work. But it can be enabled using one of Hamido's 3 methods. Not gonna add em, you can find them in hi6250 community group or XDA.
- Alarm : OK. So don't worry you will be able to wake up in time LOL
- Instagram : Everything is ok except you can't add Story from Gallery, so to fix this you need to install older Instagram version.
- OneDrive : It's ok, except you can't download your files, documents using app. But there's an workaround, Thanks to Hamido. You can download your files using ADM Browser app.
- Netflix : Latest versions doesn't let you play videos, I believe.. So to be able do that you need to download this version - "6_26_1_build_15_31696_31696". It will still give you sometimes error messages ,for example, when you try to play next episode but at least you will be able to watch something. :)


I think that this is it for now. Will update things, if I notice something new. Thanks for reading lol.

Hi

I am found my problem (clock, camera etc..)
Before flashing the rom, I wipe data and internal storage in TWRP.
So when system start for the first time, it doesn't set the right permission and owner on /data/media/0 subfolder

If you have the same problem, just open a terminal in TWRP and type

cd /data/media
chown media_rw:media_rw 0
chmod 770 0

I don't understand, can you describe the problem at all?

I will try to reproduce the problem, the cause is a problem of access rights on the folder /data/media/0

In my smartphone the owner of 0 subfolder was "root"
Alright, I need to know now what was the problem. What was it giving, I already understood but please tell me exactly.
