this "share" dialog is buggy, sometimes it shares to telegram or mixplorer when i pick discord. easiest to reproduce via gallery. btw no reboots on latest build, thank you Tom

Thanks for the update, i'll test it... hope no single reboot and no problem with 5GHz WIFI reception ... Do any of you have gapps as an alternative to support the Text To Speech engine? it looks like TTS can't be used anymore since the update to mindgapps, but i have no idea if it because the rom side 🙏

Please allow me to share BITGAPPS as an alternative with the latest version, unfortunately it still does not support the TTS engine for the CORE version, while the OMNI and BASIC versions are impossible to install because they take up too much storage space.

hi,
about two days usage here,
not a single reboot,
it seems that zram patch is really the culprit,
the latest may update is stable,
thank you..

On another LineageOS device, it's /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/light_sensor that hosts lux and raw_data files, both with a pair of numbers apparently proportional to the light intensity (up to saturation at least) ... you may need root to read them. HTH

Hello Tom,
do you know why with this phone , the new version of the app "17 track" got serious graphical glitches ? I do not think the app is bugged. Could it be some advanced graphical function that our phone can not handle or some incompatibility?

Hi y'all - just wanted to follow up on my wifi connect problem to my iphone SE hotspot. For quite a while now been tryin to resolve this & with Toms help, (TY TOM) this ver of LOS vs orig would not connect. Long story short, other day i noticed on the iphone hotspot screen more to scroll down & found "maximize compatibility" switch (was off) - turned that switch on and voila! it connected finally & its stable. Thanks Tom for ur help too and ihope this update knocks another mystery wifi issue off ur list..😎

    In this thread I'll share with you my personal builds of LineageOS 18.1 for the Oneplus One codename: bacon (older builds of 17.1, 16 and 15.1 are still downloadable). This project is inspired by idprophecy's LineageOS builds, to which I want to add my favorite features and, possibly, even more optimizations and improvements.

    MAIN FEATURES
    LineageOS 18.1 features:
    • support for MicroG (signature spoofing) - read the 2nd post!
    • improved & updated libraries: sqlite, zlib, libpng, jemalloc, libvpx, libyuv, freetype
    • critical system components built with -O3 optimizations (art, SurfaceFlinger, bionic) and ThinLTO
    • built with Clang 12.0.x
    • optimized & updated bionic routines
    • Android RunTime (ART) updates and improvements
    • several debugging & tracing components are removed from the system
    • reduced priority of the USB connection type & USB debugging notifications
    • partial/full screenshot QS tile
    • Ambient display gestures
    • deGoogling tweaks (Kuketz/GrapheneOS captive portal URLs, Mulch WebView from DivestOS, pool.ntp.org NTP server, GrapheneOS SUPL server)
    • in-built F-Droid Privileged Extension
    • materialized Toasts
    • support for OTA updates
    • several minor tweaks and improvements
    • my custom kernel (features listed below)
    LineageOS 17.1 features - development stopped:
    • all C/C++ components are build with -O3/-g0 flags (maximum optimization, minimum useless debug info)
    • support for signature spoofing (= MicroG supported) - read the 2nd post!
    • in-built F-Droid Privileged Extension
    • native support for WakeBlock by @GioBozza, for more info: WakeBlock on XDA
    • several updates & improvements to internal components: skia & libjpeg-turbo (temporarily reverted), art, bionic, libpng, sqlite, zlib
    • several debugging & tracing instructions are removed from the system
    • custom Screenshot QS tile
    • deGoogling tweaks: non-Google captive portal server & SUPL server
    • support for OTA updates
    • minor miscellaneous tweaks
    • my custom kernel (features listed below)

    Kernel features:
    • built with GCC 13
    • CPU underclocking (268 MHz) & max freq. limited to 1,9 GHz by default
    • several f2fs updates
    • power-efficient workqueues
    • cpu_input_boost by Sultanxda
    • bricked hotplug replaces mpdecision
    • CPU undervolting
    • maple I/O scheduler

    • userspace LMKD replaces the old in-kernel Low Memory Killer driver
    • DDR bandwidth boost on screen wake
    • minor adjustments and tweaks
    • several code updates and security/bug fixes

    DOWNLOADS
    Starting from April 2023 my builds are moved to Github.
    Recommended Gapps package (official MindTheGapps): here
    Unified download link for both 17.1 and 18.1: SourceForge
    Older 18.1 builds are available here: AFH
    Previous 17.1 builds are available either on AFH or on MEGA (17.1) / on MEGA (18.1).

    A BIG "THANK YOU" TO
    the whole LineageOS team, and the multitude of great developers of the Android custom ROM scene, such as kdrag0n, kerneltoast (Sultanxda), nathanchance, flar2, franciscofranco, frap129, the MSM-Xtended project, the crDroid project. I hope I have not forgotten anyone.

    I'm happy and proud to announce that I am now an official LineageOS maintainer for our Oneplus One!
    23
    Hello! My first LineageOS 16 build works fine and even Argon kernel is working fine :)
    However, the ROM is not ready for you to use it, especially because I have to improve the kernel's implementation (currently it's very buggy and a normal user would go crazy to make it work properly). So I will not release this build, however I think that within a few days I'll get this stuff sorted and a new build will be ready!

    POST-INSTALLATION ADVICE

    GAPPS COMPATIBILITY

    Only use MindTheGapps.

    SETTING UP MICROG
    Signature spoofing is supported but not enabled out of the box. There's no switch to enable it in Settings, you must grant its permission to each app that needs it. In particular, if you install MicroG (either via the apks or via MinMicroG), you must run these commands in a root shell:
    Code:
    pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.FAKE_PACKAGE_SIGNATURE
    pm grant com.android.vending android.permission.FAKE_PACKAGE_SIGNATURE
    then make sure all the checkboxes in MicroG's status screen are ticked and reboot.

    SETTING UP VIPER4ANDROID
    If you follow these steps carefully, you'll manage to install Viper4Android while keeping Enforcing SELinux, and it will survive across ROM updates too :)
    Since XDA Labs has been dead for a while, I've reuploaded Viper4Android's apk installer here: https://mega.nz/file/htFikD6Y#HpcdSMSa6fPdB5EXhGnyYI4uoxA7R4TnzhAZD_J_jrk

    PASSING SAFETYNET
    Passing SafetyNet is quite easy. You need to have Gapps installed, though. Flash Magisk, enable Magisk Hide in its settings, reboot. Now you should pass SafetyNet.

    GRABBING LOGS
    If you have faced an issue, please provide logs when reporting it.
    If the issue involved a random reboot of the device -> let the phone boot up again and immediately grab a copy of /proc/last_kmsg (important: don't turn off or reboot the phone a second time, otherwise it'll be useless).
    If the issue did not involve a random reboot of the device, but instead some "softer" crash (e.g. an app crashing, a SystemUI restart...) -> grab a logcat using any app such as Logcat Reader or plug the phone to a computer and pull it using the adb logcat > logfile.txt command.

    Hello guys,
    I'd like to inform you that I plan to switch to LineageOS 16 soon. I'll start by using TugaPower, to get used to the new OS and to finish setting up my building environment (I have to pull some files from LineageOS 16 before I can start building my own releases). Then I'll start sharing my own builds. Since it'll take me a while to implement in LineageOS 16 all the features and the optimizations that I've added to my 15.1 builds, the first LineageOS 16 builds will be very close to the standard LineageOS ones, but I'll gradually get to the point I've reached with Oreo.
    I might build and upload one last 15.1 build in the next days.
    I'll keep you informed :)
