Development [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][cheetah/panther] LineageOS 20.0 for the Pixel 7 Pro/7

[i42o]

truth is that the wiki never mentioned to flash the recovery from the official download page.
it just mentions to flash vendor_boot.img from

https://mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/lineageos/full/

for the next releases we shouldn't be able to even download recovery from official page, so that solves it i guess

The recovery that came alongside with official build did not load at all at which point I downloaded the one from the experimental folder flashed it and then was able to successfully flash the official update on my phone. I believe that they will somehow incorporate the recovery to be flashed with the software itself through updater

I flashed the official build's vendor_boot.img and had no trouble booting into recovery.

Maybe cause you're on the full Feb build. I haven't fully updated since November.

I am getting stuck on sideloading the ROM where the screen says, "serving: 'lineage-20.0-20230218-nightly-cheetah-signed.zip' (~7%)".. On the P7P it's stuck on verifying update package... not sure what to do... I have 33.0.3 platform tools... on feb stock update... maybe use different usb port? different computer?

Update: got it to work. Awesome

Anybody else having the problem Google Camera is not working properly? switching modes takes long and processing a portrait picture takes really long.

so the official LOS 20 download page doesn't link to a custom recovery for us to download. but the wiki install instructions still mention flashing the LOS recovery file first

do we need to wait until next week to get an LOS recovery download link or something? or have the official wiki install instructions just not been updated/written properly?

edit: or do I need to get the recovery file from here?

I flashed from the link you provided the vendor image and recovery worked fine for me. Just follow the wiki steps and you should be able to install.

hi, i have a problem with the default messaging app: i cannot receive/write sms. if i use the shortcut from the contact/dialer app (a toast is shown with "could not start conversation"). if i use signal as sms app, all is working fine. any ideas?

edit: could be storage related? i also get an error when trying to export my sms from signal to default app.

edit2: also google messages app is not working

 

[rester555]

SOLVED: Has anyone gotten Google Assistant to work?

I'm an idiot and didn't read that it needs to be set as default. Lineage OS turns off all defaults.

No issues at all with the vendor recovery file here on the official nightly. And the sideload of the rom zip then flashed flawlessly through it.

Yep, all works well. My issues was cables with a bad abd setup. All good now. Gcam is a little buggy, but I think it's much snappier and faster than stock currently. I wonder if that stays true after a while of running the ROM. Excited to see future updates.

Also, the gimmicky face unlock is not in the ROM

 

[rester555]

Has anyone been able to get google voice typing to work on the ROM?

fyi: wiping data for Phone and Messaging Storage 13 with titanium backup solved the issue for me

Has anyone been able to get Wifi calling working on this or the official lineage build? It works fine for me on Stock but on Lineage it just never activates.

İnstalled LOS 20 on my P7 and.... İ miss Cyanogen times
Actually nowadays every custom rom has few differences. Theyre almost similar with similar functions...

Cyanogen, PA and others in past were game changer by providing different extra features and i was sitting and looking which suits more for me)

Today its better to stay on stock with root and magisk with modules)

strongly disagree, but to each their own preferences.

i love this rom (allowing me to use microG) and i don't miss anything about cyanogen and paranoid, back in the old days.

i just wish we had a proper recovery (like TWRP) in oder to properly backup data partition

Used the official for 2-3 days and it was decent but I've flashed back to February stock.

As I've said previously, the likes of Cyanogenmod made sense over bloaty s**t like Touchwiz a decade back, and flashing it was one of the first things I always did. But with Pixel stock being so close to vanilla Android in the first place, I can't really see what custom roms offer any more to make the stability of stock worth losing. But each to their own, and I can easily imagine it appealing to some still who like to tinker.

Rooted stock is the ideal choice for me.

Is there any chance someone could share the stock wallpaper like in this attachment?

tried it once more installing everything fresh. I purchased a factory unlocked Pixel 7 Pro directly from Google.com. I used OEM to unlock the bootloader. Att is my carrier, and I use a physical SIM. Thus, it is effective this time. Maybe the reason the first time didn't work was because I neglected to factory reset.
