[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][LineageOS][18.1][dragon] -> 2021-01-05

[followmsi]

I would be happy to try to help debug this, but I am not sure how to start. I have lots of Linux experience (since 1999 Kernel 2.0.36) and I would normally start investigating with journalctl -f or tail -f /var/log/messages, but neither of these work on Android :-( Any tips?

Apart from that tiny problem, this is a superb ROM. Thanks indeed for all of the work, followmsi!

"logcat" is /var/log/messages in android .. like in linux "dmesg" shows kernel log.

But you may need to adjust debug / log level in kernel / android to get the information you need. Perhaps the default log level is too low and you do not see the problems related to failing WPA2/3 router connection.
Pls don't ask me where to change log / debug level .. have to search myself.

If you are able to refresh wifi kernel sources and fix problems .. pls go ahead !

I have seen another android flag which may helps too ..

Disable WPA2 -> WPA3 upgrade.

I have made a TEST build including GAPPS from Pixel Experience .. let's share it.

Files · eleven · PixelExperience / vendor_gapps

GitLab.com

gitlab.com

If you have used other gapps package before you may get problems .. clean install is recommended.

Made the same build for another ARM64 device too .. Pixel launcher and all the stuff seems to work fine. I did not test on dragon yet.
The stock Lineage apps have not been removed .. apps like contacts, calculator, browser still exists.

Again .. This is a special gapps build and just for testing.

lineage-18.1-20201214-UNOFFICIAL-dragon.zip (gapps-included subfolder)

Changes:
- Added GAPPS
- Re-added PinnerService
- Set flag for UI optimizations

Enjoy

Was planning on wiping my 17.1 and installing 18.1 and saw the version with gaps included. Gave it a go and seem to be working well

I tried out Lineage 18 on my Yoga Tab 3 Plus yesterday. It's pretty nice, but I had a few problems with one of my apps.
I decided to revert to the Lineage 16 backup and found out my twrp had been replaced. I believe it was because I rebooted the Lineage 18 install?
I found out trying to boot into bootloader that when the boot screen comes up, it's in bootloader. I didn't realize that at first and was able to install twrp by
by enabling adb in the Lineage recovery. Installed twrp in fastboot and found my backup from yesterday and I'm good to go.

I've been using version 18.1 for a few days now - runs really well.

I have noticed the following small things:

1. after starting the "Play Store" the logo is displayed, but then it takes about 20 seconds until it goes ahead
2. the app "Google Maps" starts, but after a few seconds it closes automatically

Is it the same for you?

 

[schoerb]

Play Store also starts for me very slowly :-(

This is a Pixel C thread. I don'tt think that these rom's would work on a Yoga Tab 3+.

Hello there, I followed the install instructions and found myself in an awkward situation. After I installed the 18.1 OS (1211 ver) and restarted the tablet, the device stuck at lineage OS animation for a while and than reboot itself to recovery, and that's when things went wrong. I typed my password in and the decryption failed, which it asked me to reenter the password. Now I can't enter recovery and I can't enter the OS. I bought the device with TWRP pre-loaded therefore I have very limited knowledge about all the fastboot and other stuff. Any kind suggestion means the world to me.

You missed a bit. Encryption not supported. It's so long since I did this, but go read the OP for @followmsi 17.x ROM for instructions.

 

[brackenhill_mob]

I've got a weird one. Does anyone use Amazon Shopping and the new XDA app successfully? I get SSL errors with them.

Any known fix or possibly another app I might have installed that might trigger this? @followmsi ? It worked when I first installed 18.1, and I had the same issue on 18.0

Do you use Adaway? If so, try disabling the local web server.

You don't know what they had set on that tablet. I'd reccomend formating internal storage and start clean. I woulden't want to have to deal with someone elses problems.

LineageOS 18.1

- Switched to Audio HAL 6
- Overlay for Wifi (Disable WPA2 -> WPA3 upgrade)
- Various config changes
- Re-added PinnerService (also for Home App now)

Thanks to @michie for all his work !

Magisk 21.1 seems to require manual reinstall after ROM update ..
For 18.1 you have to reinstall gapps too.

Enjoy

Have had this slow starts too .. seems to be gapps related.
Not sure .. needs to be checked.

Which gapps did you use ?

Did you test other gapps packages too ?

Thx

Encryption has not been tested on 18.x .. at least not by me.
On 17.1 it used to be working .. at least for some users.

New idea about your app problems .. don't have any SSL issues.

Cheers

You genius - thank you. Great to have it working again.

I notice too that the Playstore is very slow to open, but it works.

I have the same problem with NikGapps Stock package...

 

[Alxoom33]

I have been using the November 16, 2929 Open Gapps test Mini package. It's been working fine. I just checked to see if it is updated, it appears to be the latest test package.

Has anyone seen any gapps packages that are more recent. I've downloaded the November NikGapps, they are just as old. Any updated Gapps out there?
