[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][13] LineageOS 20.0 for LG V30 (joan)

[ASWFY1987]

i had the same issue on 911 build, the workaround was to enter your default security once on bootup, then click anywhere on the screen besides 'systemui failed' message (do not select either)...the screen blanks....then use the fingerprint sensor to unlock....which brings you to your default launcher home. Sometimes the fingerprint sensor may report as unavailable, and I would reboot and try again, which works 98% of the time

And how exactly to enter the default security on bootup ????

whatever lock you have chosen, is what i am referring to
pattern lock, password, pin...etc....

i had the same issue (...)

unfortunately it doesn't work... But in my case there also is no "'systemui failed' message"... :/

 

[eigerzoom]

fortunately for you, if you install from scratch and do not perform dirty install, all should be well.

 

[Koile]

unfortunately it is my daughter's phone and she won't be too pleased, if she has to re-configure everything again (just installed LineageOS on her phone this weekend).
I downgraded it with TWRP and hope, that we will find a solution (or else... she has to live with re-configuring everything...).
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
It happens with both our V30...

I cannot access Telegram (to download the patch) because cannot login the phone!

As far I know, you don't need to use the patch for Android 12 ROMs

Whats everyone doing for gapps? on the last build i used nikgapps and all was fine, but this build i used nikgapps 9/8/22 core and i'm having issues.

I just updated from 20220911 to 20221115 via the builtin updater. Unfortunately I can't log in to my phone any more, because everytime I try to unlock the screen (i.e. I enter my PIN), it just blanks and shows the lockscreen again.
Will the quoted flash-file help me with this issue?
Is there any other way of downloading it? I don't have Telegram and don't want to install it.

The release notes has a patch zip to remove passwords. You must flash this on every update, unfortunately.

Currently there is no known way to fix this.

A zip to remove password is required upon any dirty flash of Android 12. This is an issue with all present Android 12 ROMs on the V30, and this ROM is no exception.

If this is a problem, consider reverting to Android 11. I still have the last build of Android 11 on SourceForge and I'll keep it there.

Some ROMs chose to remove the password upon every flash, I chose not to do this. I may change my opinion on this matter if it becomes enough of a problem for everyone.

 

[Koile]

Can you upload this zip anywhere else beside telegram? Without telegram I cannot download it (and apparently @mja has the same "problem").

New build: 20221212

Important notice about the built-in Updater:

• My update server broke about a week before building this (as well as many of my other services.) Unfortunately this means you will not be able to update from System Settings at this time, until I figure out a better way to handle this. Very sorry for people who enjoyed the feature.

To dirty flash:

• You need to flash the "Remove password" patch attached in OP to remove the password database. Removing your passwords from Settings is not enough, it will crash on boot. (thanks lllgts)
• Reflash gapps.

Changelog:

• December 2022 Security patches
• DPI changed to 540
  • actually looks ok now
• Android Common Kernel merged (android-4.4-p)
• Maybe fix a regression with Widevine that caused some apps to die?

Known issues:

• Keystore remains broken. This means that if you have a lock screen set, then upon flashing an updated ROM, your lock screen will crash. If you are dirty flashing, flash the zip attached to OP.
  • Some new development on the kernel side showed some signs that this may be fixed. It is unknown whether that is actually the case until I test this further.
  • It's possible that maybe starting from this build onwards you may not need to flash this zip over and over again?
  • You will still need it if flashing from the November build for now.
  • This zip currently requires TWRP.
• Proton* apps will (likely still) complain about Keystore errors. Issue appears to be the same as above. For now, reinstall the apps to get it working.

(built-in updater is down. My server died.)

I have attached it to OP.

Note this zip currently requires TWRP. Something is going on with LOS recovery.

New build: 20221214

Important note:

• For this build I highly recommend a clean flash. Telegram users have reported that a dirty flash worked fine, but I give no guarantees.

Changelog:

• Fix keystore. This also fixes, in no particular order:
  • Google Pay
  • Most bank apps
    • at least, the one bank app I use that is known to be stingy about custom ROMs is working
    • Obviously I can't test all bank apps. But I'd say it should fix most
  • Proton* apps
  • Swift Backup
  • SystemUI crash upon unlocking on first boot
  • Setting a password
  • The "remove_password" zip is not necessary anymore!

I thought they were referring to zip needed on older roms to fix wifi

I thought they were referring to zip needed on older roms to fix wifi

That zip hasn't been needed since Android 11 for our device, which is actually because the zip no longer worked for that Android version and forward (read-only file system.)

The zip we talk about is to wipe the password settings, because keystore, a security type thing built into Android that communicates with hardware TrustZone, has been not entirely functional in Android 12. Due to this, many apps using keystore had been broken for some time, i.e. bank apps, VPN apps, ProtonMail, etc., but the biggest issue was the lock screen.

I'm the first one to bring this issue from Telegram to XDA as I'm currently the only V30 developer to post in XDA at the moment. Hence it's understandable why it may be confused.

Good thing is, now we don't need to rely on hacky post-install zips to fix it, as I've found the root cause of the problem and fixed it in the 20221214 build.

Pinging @mja and @Koile since they couldn't access the Telegram download, just letting you know that it's not needed now.

The zip will remain on OP for some time just in case people want to downgrade builds for testing etc.

 

[Koile]

Thanks for the information! And thank you for fixing the cause of the problem!
I already installed the update. The only bug I encountered, is, that Keepass won't allow me to use biometric unlocking. But that's only a minor annoyance.

 

[mja]

...and it works great! Clean install, no one issue encountered in everyday use. Thank you!

 

[Nine One One]

[Joefitz]

Did a clean install, works perfectly, no issues, amazing.
Thank you for bringing this classic phone back to life.
Well done, brilliant job!
