[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 18.0 for HTC One M8 / M8 Dual SIM

[bgcngm]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11 (R), 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.

Base source code is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to the project, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.

Please note that M8 GPe partition layout is no longer supported. The device must first be converted to Sense firmware, otherwise installation will fail.

[A n d r 0 i d]

had a few teething troubles, first the clicky bootloop (speaker popping) on the lineage animation, then an "entering recovery" loop (my twrp had disappeared (probably because I was using an out of date one), got back to fastboot and flashed twrp-3.4.0-1-m8.img and all is well until booting lineage, then powering off and entering recovery, at which point it's gone again and it just reboots normally. Reverting to a fresh 17.1 and the recovery remains intact.

works nicely with the Gapps above,
sadly my banking apps don't, Is this because it's signed with public keys?
Out of all the ROMS i've tried, only your variant of 17.1 worked correctly

In addition to not being able to boot into recovery as mentioned earlier, It would appear that Setting up screen lock results in a boot loop (Verizon Variant) otherwise looks pretty solid

Same here. Furthermore, now I cannot install fastboot drivers and reinstall twrp recovery. Any solution? Can't even install gapps.

The GApps at https://bitgapps.cf/arm/R work fine

You should be able to boot TWRP using fastboot

download the TWRP image and open a terminal in that directory

I use Linux so this came in handy

sudo $(which fastboot) boot twrpxxx.img

**replace twrpxxx with your TWRP image file name

Your device should boot TWRP and you can flash your zips

Installation removes twrp recovery
I used Linux and fastboot to reinstall latest twrp recovery image.
Too many issues at the minute for use so going back to previous or other 10 ROM.

No issue at all, Just You need to install twrp after the gapps installation is completed through twrp, do not leave twrp before install twrp image.
LineageOS 18 also look good, i am using it as my daily driver.
Just follow this=> Goto TWRP recovery and install these one by one.Don't leave twrp before install twrp.img
1. install lineageOS 18
2. Install Gapps
3. install twrp
To install Twrp through twrp=> goto install again, then tap install image(bottom right), select Your twrp file, then select recovery, then conform simple.

I also had the issue of a bootloop every time immediately after getting to the home screen.

i did clean installation and i didn't face any issue.

So did I. I only got the boot loop after setup and synching my Google account. First time I rebooted I had the boot loop and couldn't do anything. Waiting for a newer build. It may have something to do with trying to set a pin for the lockscreen.

Use bitgapps
https://bitgapps.cf/arm/R/
there is no google account setting up at the starting.

Flashing this rom on my M8 worked perfectly fine.
Thanks a lot for your work!

 

[cexcells]

took the plunge

Followed your 3 step install and all great so far.
Skipped setting lock screen during set up as a precaution, is it OK to set one up?
Installing apps from an OTG USB is going great

Hi

My phone is in S-ON mode and Flashing this rom on my M8, but when I switch the phone to TWRP recovery mode, TWRP recovery was removed.


When will the official lineage 18 update be released?

For now S-on / s-off.. ..twrp recovery mode will removed. So you've to flash again via fastboot

I get the message "waiting for device" the adb drivers installed but the PC does not see the phone. Also now it is not possible to get root, and TWPR cannot be installed via the app.
Is there a solution for this
thanks in advance.

Adb driver is not enough for that, you also have to install the HTC mobile driver. If it's still the same try changing the USB cable
