[ROM][[Santoni][ARM64]LINEAGE 15.1[Official]

[SebiderSushi]

thank you so much for the advice, indeed i am having fun and excited with my new microg rom. but i just have one problem, it seems that gps/location is loading slow/not functioning well. do you have the same problem? and can you share the solution? thanks alot, BTW, f-droid apps are amazing. just what i need. thanks!

If Network based location does not work you can checkout the installation guide to make sure everything falls into place as intended. As far as i've seen /e/ comes preconfigured on first boot and on lineage4microg you will have to open MicroG Settings and manually enable all Location providers under "Location Modules".

The preinstalled module uses the Mozilla database. If that is not perfect for you you can search F-Droid for the term "NLP" and you can choose to install additional Network Location Providers like the Apple Wi-Fi Module for example.

After the support for Santoni has been stopped for Lineage 16 I have been building the ROM for my personal use using the source from lineage git and default kernel and device blobs. It is stable and working alright. I use santoni as my secondary device. I am here by sharing the file.
It has SeLinux Enforcing and signed and most banking apps I tried are working alright. I am not a developer and I am not sure how to generate/share change log.
The ROM has June 21 security update. Please don't expect me to be fixing bugs or making customizations. I do not know about it. I am just doing this to keep my device running for a couple more years.

PS: The credit for the ROM goes to the original developers, not me. All I have done was run some codes and cook the ROM.

Would you mind to provide some details on how you went about to create your own build or if there is a good guide that you followed?

Hi, you can follow the guide on lineage wiki, or guide on https://lineageosroms.com/santoni/#build-lineageos-and-lineageos-recovery.

When I go to https://download.lineageos.org/santoni
It says page does not exist. How do I download the ROM?

 

[Julien Faure]

@xdduser this is because official support for santoni has been stopped. So you have to either find an unofficial build or build by yourself or find a backup of the latest official build made by someone (I think there's a post in this thread where you can find that). You may also switch to crdroid: it's a great ROM, based on LOS and still maintained for santoni. Just make sure to activate encryption (it is not activated by default on crdroid) and you will have more or less an up-to-date LOS equivalent.

OK But why do I need to enable encryption? I read somewhere that if I activate encryption, installation gets stuck asking for password, etc.

 

[Julien Faure]

You don't have to: I was only recommending to do so in order to be as close as possible to LOS. Besides, if you take that option I think you have no choice but to backup all your stuff, wipe your phone and start the crdroid install from scratch. In this case, I would be surprised you encounter any issue. I personally own a santoni and I installed the lastest crdroid build and activate encryption w/o any problem. And again, if you absolutely want to stick to LOS you still have the other options I mentioned. Hope this helps.

[Julien Faure]

@grogosa before I switched to crdroid, I was on LOS 16 on my santoni and did not encounter any issue: which version (Global, Chinese ?) of the device do you have?

Hello together,

just in case someone is interested in UNOFFICIAL LOS18 for santoni:

Jabiyeff-build - Browse /LineageOS at SourceForge.net

So far these ROMs look fine for me in daily use.

Hi
After encrypting your device, which is running crdroid, don't you have issue with FPC fingerprint ? Fingerprint settings have disappeared in my case after encrypting the device (was working fine before).

Hi,
I'm not using the fingerprint sensor at all so I can't tell. And I just saw that you asked for clarifications to the maintainer of the ROM in the dedicated thread so let's wait for @jabieff answer.

Yes, my bad, continuing this discussion on the dedicated thread since this one is related to LOS 15.1.

Hey! I installed Lineage OS 16 (lineage-16.0-20210210-nightly-santoni-signed) last weekend, it's my first custom ROM. It was working fine for couple of days and yesterday I didn't get reception so I fiddled with preferred network settings. Now I get reception and I can make call/receive call/access internet, but I am getting this pop up all the time. If I close the pop up, it comes again within few minutes. And battery drains too much. For the first 2+ days, I got about 9+hrs of SOT. Any fix for this?

Thought of factory resetting, but I am not sure. And what is this reset option I see in Settings>System>Reset Options>Erase all data (facory reset). Is this what I think it is? I reset, and it goes back to way it was after first install of Lineage OS?
