Hey @razorloves !
As I noticed, you are a member of the LineageOS core team. So you are a pro.

Is it possible to build LOS 18.1 for the angler? I learned how to set up a build machine, but it seems you need developer skills to migrate the 15.1 code base (kernel and device specific code) to a newer version of LineageOS. Is this possible and are you maybe working on it?

sure, it's possible to build it, with some dev work.
but i'm not working on it.
ims (volte, wifi calling, hd voice, rcs texting, video calling) is broken on all angler custom roms newer than oreo. No one has figured out how to fix it. That's why i continue updating 15.1.

I just wanted to drop in and thank @razorloves for maintaining such an awesome ROM for this device. I have bounced around with the others; Bliss, Havoc, as well as 16, 17, and 18 LOS roms. None of them have the stability or battery life that this build delivers. Again, thank you @razorloves, you rock!

@razorloves - updated my N6P from the April 2021 build to the newest, May 2021 with a simple dirty flash, with the last step flashing the 4 core patch from within TWRP. Boot up nicely & butterly smooth. Everything just works and I see no reasons to find another daily with any of the newer custom roms, including LOS - been there & came back here. Thank you for keeping the device "live" - had a brand new OEM battery installed last year so going to have lots of fun for a while.

That's exactly my experience too, tried pretty much everything out there and ended where I once started for the sake of reliability, stability and performance combined with incredible battery life, I got a great replacement battery 6 month ago with fast charging working and according to AccuBattery 99% of it's design capacity remaining! Actually managed to replace the battery without breaking anything (talking to you damn rear camera glass!) and now I feel like I'm having a perfect spare device to tinker a little with Magisk and stuff...

I had many android devices but the last nexus has a special place in my heart, I like it's design and the feel of it! It's part of the important android history!

tl; dr
It's absolutely incredible this ROM, it's the perfect daily driver material!

Many thanks to everyone involved with developing it...

Thanks, we love you Razr!

Hell yeah I really enjoy the N6P with this blend of LineageOS since I lost my Pixel 3xl a while ago... I bought a Samsung a12 as fast replacement but it's still not better than my N6P with new battery, I really started to use it as daily driver again....

Much love and thanks for keeping it alive!

First, thanks for the rom but why I get no IMEI with this rom? reflashed stock and everything works but on this rom no IMEI detected so can't use sim. Any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance

Hi1 Perhaps you talking about that trick you have to flash and then proceed to set it with no lockscreen option, do a reboot and then it get detected, also in my own tests, flashing magisk (together with opengapps) has booted for the first time already with mobile signal.

@razorloves Sir first off thank you so much for your work keeping the most stable android version for 6p alive and kicking with LineageOS. You guys and the devs here inspired me to start my android building journey with lineage-17.1

I do have a question, for successful lineage builds that end up getting looped at the lineageOS boot screen, how do you guys troubleshoot what's causing the bootloop? Are there any particular errors in the logs? I did try to look at recovery and kernel logs and try to spot the errors. but usually I end up with trial and error stuff so it gets time consuming. I figure the process would be faster if I get to learn how to read the logs so as to know which commits I have to revert here and there.

Also just to share with you I've continued to encounter this sporadic issue for Lineage builds on Q where in the build works but after subsequent reboots it eventually lands back to twrp recovery , re-wiping data to regain access. Disabling FBE side steps this issue but then the other sporadic issue (which I recall has been happening since Android O) where in after subsequent reboots the phone I get this lock screen loop, and I have to go back to twrp to delete the locksettings.db etc. stuff. Just my amateur speculation that some necessary commits had to be included somewhere along the path from O to Q to properly transition angler from FDE to FBE. My search thus far pointed to system/vold and or system/core commits and so I've tried looking at AOSP gerrit at those platforms, tracing back from commits made for O onwards. I can't fully lay my finger on which exact commits though. ;/

First of all, thank you for the work of building ROMs for 6p.

I'm quite confusing about building ROMs for 6p based on newer Android versions. I see that PE has Android 10 for 6p (https://download.pixelexperience.org/angler) and CarbonRom for 6p is based on Android 9 (https://get.carbonrom.org/device-angler.html).
And the same situation for OG Pixel. I recall maybe you or intervigil has said there's no driver support for OG Pixel for A11 so so many things will be broken on OG Pixel with A11. But PE has A11 builds for OG Pixel (https://download.pixelexperience.org/sailfish) and it says there's no issues (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-11-0-sailfish-pixelexperience-aosp-official.4247201/).
How could it be possible?

The question itself may be stupid but I don't know what to search or where to follow for the answers.

 

[titanreign]

Dropping in to say a final thank you to @razorloves for keeping this device alive and running so well for so long. I've upgraded to a OnePlus 7 pro so the 6p will be retiring. Again thanks to everyone involved and especially @razorloves .

...got issues when installing the August build yesterday, as this happened totally surprising without a laptop available I couldn't get logs unfortunately. It may be a issue not related actually to the ROM itself but I wanted to tell anyway. So I flashed the new build in latest official TWRP on my encrypted Angler with Magisk and couldn't boot after that, I tried booting several times by long pressing power but no chance, even though I let it boot for 15 minutes... so I tried reflashing the build but no chance, still in bootloop with only the Google splash screen. After all the attempts I went again back to TWRP and deleted system, before I flashed the build and GAPPS again and it finally booted just fine, however I had the system partially reseted, seeing this from some Apps behaving like it was my first boot up and asking for set-up, others just keep working like nothing happened.

Can't see the user error just yet, I know it's pretty much impossible to say something about potentially build problems without logs but there may be others encountering similar issues and are able to give much better feedback. As I'm in the middle of moving to another place I had no chance to get to my laptop to get proper logs. I'm also aware that it may be just a Magisk or a module issue, there're endless possibilities but I'm specifically writing this to see if others had issues too with the latest build, nonetheless I'm absolutely thankful for having this ROM, it's still the very best choice as a daily driver to me!

Were you're using a custom kernel on the previous build?
