[ROM] [UNOFFICIAL] Lineage OS 16.0 -- 7/10/19

[pipyui]

What This Is
This is a personal project to get Lineage OS running on my Pixel 3a. As such it is provided as is, though I will endeavor to provide regular builds and offer limited support as I am able.


What's Been Tested
This is my daily driver, so I've flashed ElementalX kernel and openGapps Pico over stock.
T-Mobile (at least), camera, wifi, bluetooth, gps are used regularly without issue.

What Was Not Tested

• Root
• Squeeze sensor
• Gapps beyond Pico

Known Issues

• eSIM doesn't work and has been removed
• If flashing Gapps, an app downloaded at first-time setup Data Transfer Tools will crash constantly and needs to be uninstalled. This may mean you can't transfer data from an old phone to this one via setup.

Downloads
Lineage OS 16.0 Unofficial

Installation
I have not had success with an installable zip for TWRP yet, so the rom images must be flashed via fastboot. You should be familiar with fastboot before attempting to install this rom. It is recommended that you back up your current OS before installing a new one.

Installing this or any rom will void your warranty.

After unlocking OEM and your bootloader, boot into bootloader either with fastboot reboot bootloader or by holding VOLUME DOWN + POWER from power off, plug your phone into the computer.

If running on a linux machine with fastboot installed you can execute the flash-all.sh script included in the download. Alternatively or otherwise:

• fastboot flash boot boot.img
• fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
• fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
• fastboot flash system system.img
• fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
• fastboot -w (to wipe cache and data)

After installing, Gapps (ARM64, 9.0, see note in Known Issues), kernels, Magisk (UNTESTED) and other zips can be installed as normal via TWRP.


I Wanna Go Back
Up-to-date stock images are provided by Google and can be reflashed from bootloader.
Just follow the instructions at the top of the page.

Nice work! I'll have to wait until tonight to test it.

I've been working on my own builds. The June firmware worked well, but after updating to July firmware and vendor, WiFi calling isn't working. The camera had always been a little fickle. I can't wait to test...

 

[koichirose]

Does it support Google Camera fully (with motion and everything)?
Any hope of making it official?

Great work!

Let me know what you discover! I haven't tested wifi calling (wouldn't even know how) wifi calling works fine on T-Mobile, and while I looked through my logcat, I can't say I was entirely confident in my ability to read it...
Mostly 'access denied' errors on some gpu libraries and an error reading the squeeze sensor config (but only when I'm connected to adb).

Thanks! I hadn't tested google camera motion till now, but it doesn't look to be working works with Google Photos installed. Haven't had trouble with pictures and video otherwise through it though.
In regards to making it official, maybe with some polish. I'm new to the android dev scene so not too confident in my ability to maintain a project like this yet.
But I'll look into the process.

Yes, I get a lot of selinux errors in the logcat too. I haven't had time to research them.

The squeeze issue is odd, perhaps some uid is conflicting. I think these are set up in the init files.

Nevermind @koichirose, camera Motion works fine once I installed Google Photos. :good:

It's odd that it only shows up when I connect to logcat via adb. Local terminal logcat doesn't show me these squeeze errors.

Also, wifi calling working on T-Mobile :good:

Thanks for building. I had issues installing apps from the play store, lots of download pending despite force stopping play store and several reboots. Also magisk doesn't appear to work when flashed through twrp. I didn't try patching the kernel through magisk manager though. Good first look though!

I ran into this same issue - had to remove Data Transfer Tools (don't need root for this, since it was downloaded by gapps) and do a cache wipe to be able to download apps again. I think it blocks you from using the play store until you complete google's first-time setup, and this app blocks that (not to mention it crashes frequently).

I'll test out Magisk when I'm able. You may need to enable root access to apps in dev settings, but I'm unsure.

OMG thank u so much! Was waiting for this forever, hope you can make twrp zip

Getting "Sim not Found" on both rooted and unrooted

Have you checked OP? eSIM doesn't work. Need physical SIM

I have a physical sim. I solved the problem tho. I just had to reflash the stock radio image

Thanks for putting a build together! Provides even more incentive for me to make the switch over to a 3a Keep up the good work.

Is the device showing as certified without root?

Could anybody who has been testing out this rom give me any idea of what their battery life is like? I feel like mine has been much worse since flashing this. Dropped 10% overnight with nothing running and in airplane mode.

 

[Geo411m]

any chance for a 3aXL port? I've been wanting to do one myself but I'm in the middle of a kitchen remodel so not much time to setup a build environment.

It is not certified.

I get about 2 days out of a charge on ElementalX kernel, but I'm sorry to say I've hardly tested vanilla LoS kernel.
In my experience I usually have to go through a full charge cycle on a new rom then restart my phone for battery life to stabilize.

While I should be able to build an XL port, I won't be able to test it myself. Let me know if you'd like to run a build in beta.

I'll test for you

Neat, I'll get a build together for ya tonight then.

Any chance of a flashable zip for the official twrp?
