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

[xdduser]

@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.

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.

@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

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.
