[ROM][T820][8.x] LineageOS 15.1 20180614

[jd1639]

Perfect, thanks for the detailed explanation!

This is weird. I'm trying to replicate what I did before. Now it's boot looping. It ended up booting itself back to recovery. I wiped again and reflashed and it's boot looping again. It'll get to the first lineage setup screen and then start boot looping again. I'm still working on what's going on.

Same thing happens for me. Sometimes I see the LineageOS setup screen for a second and then back to bootloop... Mhm. Just to make sure I just flashed Pico GApps. At least Pico keeps crashing when Google searches for Updates. I'll just try different combinations and then try to go back to just the ROM followed by Magisk. ^^

I'm going to give up for now. I'll try again later if I get some time. Really weird that it booted fine once and now it's having issues. I've tried formatting data, rebooting to recovery, factory reset, wipes, advance wipes and for I think 4 reflashes I get the boot loop just like you.

Yes, but not in a reliable way, at least for me, meaning that while I write the pen suddenly stops working for a short trait, then it starts working again after a bunch of milliseconds. It does that, it seems, especially (or exclusively, I cannot say for sure) when I rest my palm on the screen while writing.

This bug of the T825 version of LineageOS seems to be present in this ROM too. I flashed the ROM + GApps just to test the ROM at all and sadly s-pen is extremely buggy.

Not sure why some are having issues. Flashed room, gapps, magisk. All running nice. Thanks op!

It seems to work ok if you flash gapps. One of the posters wanted to know if the rom would boot if you did not flash gapps. In general roms will but in this case it seems to be hit or miss. To me it's now become an intellectual challenge on why that is. I've gotten it to boot without gapps a couple of times but I haven't found a consistent reason why it does sometimes and not others. I guess I have too much time on my hands to mess around with this stuff[emoji4]

What I'm very thankful for.
@suzook: To be clear: OP said to flash GApps and expect crashes if not doing so. I just use Android without GApps and this usually is no problem. Sadly in this case it's not working without GApps (at least consistently) and I really would like to know why this is the case. The s-pen issues are an unrelated problem though, since I encountered this with GApps installed.

I think I know why I thought I could get it to boot without gapps. The times it has I first got it to boot using gapps. I then went back to twrp and did a standard wipe, flashed the rom, and then booted to system. But, if instead of the standard wipe, I did an advanced wipe, including the system partition, then it would not boot. So there must have been some stuff left on the system partition that allowed it to boot. I'm not a developer so don't know if that's common. Maybe @bonuzzz could comment on that.

It should run without gapps. It just won't do much.

I disagree.

I have never used, I repeat, I have never used a Google's product in my life, and I'm old, I think, because I'm old. I endure Google only if I don't have a choice, like with this malicious captcha to subit a reply. I don't need it, never.

I know what kind of sensible topic it is and maybe xda isn't the good place to discuss this.

Now...
I tried so many times with almost every combination like explained before, I've cleansed my messages, OP had quoted one, I was never able to pass the setup screen. Magisk, SuperSU, multiple wipes, with or without SD card, fingers crossed, it failed all the time. You was able to boot only one time and now you can't replicate it.

Do you think it is possible Google did had some GAPPS dependences in Oreo source code and it have spread to forks like Lineage? What? Am I paranoid? I think Google wants to be everywhere? Tinfoil! Tinfoil!

You know, this is a good think. I was satisfied with Lineage as it was and I never tried to make my own Android-like from sources. Also because I'm lazy. But now I have a reason to compile everything by myself. And the reason is f... Google! You'll never profile me. My profile is: I don't have one.

First of all, as a T820 owner, I THANK YOU so very much for your effort to port Lineage OS, at last.
Everything worked out perfectly fine, no errors.. Except the strange behavior of played audio (YouTube App, Napster App). The playback is pitched up and at the same same, it's sped up to a little extent. I have checked this for around a week, and now I'm very certain this bug really exists. Is there a way to fix this?

I'm experiencing the same issue on mine.

Bug-report:
There seems to be a problem with S-Pen + Palm Rejection. S-Pen on it's own seems fine. As soon as Palm Rejection should kick in the S-Pen goes crazy and will only be recognized randomly. This was tested in LectureNotes, Squid and Xodo.

Can you share any other sources you might have used to build for the 820? I know you linked to your GitHub, but anything else would be appreciated. Would love to keep this going for the group of us that have the 820.

Thanks for giving us Lineage 14.1 & 15.1 in the first place!

My Tab has no sound. Nosound by pressing the keyboard, no notifications, no sound playing music. Also Apps like Amazon Music, Amazon Video, Netflix, Zattoo and so on are not working.
I have just installed the build LineageOS 15.1-20180614, T820XXU1BRE2_dmverity_patched_boot with TWRP and Tabs3_oreo_forced encryption_disabler.
Magisk SafetyNet-Status all ok (green fpr ctsProfile and basicintegrity).

Any one else with this problem?

It is sad to read that! Anyway, thank you very much for all the time and effort you've put in this project.
