"LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 7.1.2 (Nougat), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device. LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo (without device tree/kernel/vendor repos). And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit our Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit."

Reversed

 

[MacLaughlin]

Nice. Different then the initial lineage build I had posted? Oh I haven't seen it is nougat.

 

[arceoxis]

@BeYkeRYkt I have been testing it and this is what I found:

Working:

- Both speakers (call and media)
- Vibration
- Microphone
- Rotation
- WiFi
- Bluetooth (data transmission, audio not tested)
- Mobile Signal (data and calls working)
- Fingerprint
- GPS

Not Working:

- NFC
- Camera and flash
- Light and proximity sensors

I also noticed that the buttons on screen are activated by default and root for apps is not available in developer settings, only for ADB.
I've flashed Magisk and it's working perfect, without any module it passes SafetyNet check and I can download Netflix

Please keep working on it, you can make a very good ROM and if you need something contact me by PM

Regards.

This is still based on Nougat 7.x? No Oreo 8.x builds 8.1 preferably like Lineageos 15.1 ?

 

[Mobstergunz]

Bluetooth audio isn't working it connects but there's no sound coining from the BT speaker.

There's something wrong with mixer paths in this rom. When you disable fluence (echo suppression) for voice calls, setting in build.prop "persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=false", the upper mic remains active and the lower (the main mic) is muted. That's the exact inverse of what it shoud happen (the main mic should remain active and the secondary mic near the IRDA port should be muted). Can you investigate?
(in stock rom and derivates, that setting has simply no effect: echo suppression remains active whatever way the value is set).
Frankly speaking, this is the first rom for this device I'm really fond of. No bloatware, everything working as it should, safetynet passes with magisk seamlessly, NFC is working, etc.
TY very much for your release.

I think he has fixed it today, check his latest commits in the device tree in his GitHub...

I saw the commit, but the mixer_paths_tasha.xml file is already modified according to that commit in his latest release, and it doesn't work anyway.....

 

[Mobstergunz]

The 4.16 firmware was giving GPS issues so I reverted to 4.06

Are you sure that you applied the latest changes? At me all records correctly (at least correctly it is recording audio in a Recorder, Telegram, Snap camera and a Skype at full disable of noise suppression).

In what way is this expressed?

 

[Mobstergunz]

With the 4.16 firmware GPS was continually scanning and wouldn't lock on to my location. But when I changed it back to the older 4.06 firmware GPS works just fine. Just wondering if I was the only one having issues is all.

The issue I found is related to regular voice calls. The microphone is fully working in all the other apps i tested, can confirm.
When you disable fluence (echo suppression), the expected behaviour is that the upper microphone stays muted and the lower (the main) should be the only one working.
Using your latest build (without yesterday's commits), only the upper microphone is working during calls (it should be reversed). Applying your commits, either the upper either the lower microphone are working even if fluence is disabled for voice calls.
You can check that behaviour making a call to a friend (with fluence disabled in build.prop), and puffing or blowing alternatively in one mic and the other. You'll notice that with your current build only the upper mic is active, and applying the commits both mics are active. This is not the expected behaviour.

No problem for me. GPS is working just fine with 4.16 firmware....

Hi, the rom is perfect and i love it very much, very great work. However, may i know is there any way to increase the volume when answering the call? not on speaker, but it is very hard to hear what ppl said on street, do not mention in the workshop. any solution?

as for gps issue, i noticed that when i was at the outside, it was fine. but sometimes it will drop until lost gps when i get into car.
