When it comes to GPS issues:
I downloaded GPS Status&Toolbox from Play Store, run it, put the phone on the dashboard for about 45 minutes while driving and it finally got a stable fix. Since then no more GPS problems :)

Same here regarding the GPS, but everytime I start navigating it takes 5_10 min to locate.
I switched yesterday to 8.1 and noticed it has more to offer, but at the cost of battery I'm afraid. I got 3,5h SOT but only 12h total between charges, my guess is it does not go to deep sleep. It could be some of the apps i have like Lspeed.
I noticed heavy lagging earlier, but after uninstalling maps all is fine. I did restore the phone from play backup instead of starting fresh and this could be a mistake?
Previously I had aicp and Sot was about same but time between charges was better, up to 2 days with less use.
Camera, I use stock and open camera, both are solid, no coplaints here. Good for the money.
Good work Cozzmy13, thanks!

dunno if it has deep sleep but battery life it's horrible for me

is there also some way to replicate Efficiency performance mode as in 14.1? I was running always that one before

I tested this ROM months ago when it was pretty much AOSP and not Lineage, can someone please confirm to me if:
1. is there advanced restart menu through developer options?

2. is there snapdragon camera built in? or way to install it?

3. can you add exchange account with gmail app disabled through built in exchange services like in LOS14.1?

4. are there hardware buttons settings and led notification settings?

5. are quick tiles 3*3 or possible to set to 3*3?

6. are there battery profiles? I am always running Efficiency

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------



just install Magisk + Magisk manager to manage root app access
I installed this build again after few months, so to answer my questions since nobody answered them

1. there is advanced restart through developer options

2. there is snap camera built in, rear cam photos and videos work fine, haven't tested yet ported MIUI or gcam

3. there are NO exchange services built in this ROM, you can add them through installing gmail, aquamail or other third party client, but I am experiencing MASSIVE battery drain, gmail never stop syncing notification bug mentioned months ago, aquamail always active as well. Though haven't noticed this bug on kenzo running nitrogen Oreo ROM with exchange through gmail

4. there is button and led notification options

5..quick tiles are 3*2 so I just removed shortcuts from third line to avoid swiping between screens, no grid options

6. no battery/performance profiles, SoT with my regular use on Wi-Fi fell from 6-7 hours to 4-4.5 might be caused be exchange clients massive battery drain or people reporting phone doesn't go into deep sleep and that I was using Efficiency profile, though haven't noticed heating

tested gps through gps test to update agps data, seemed OK for first lock behind window in bad conditions around minute

using unofficial pico gapps for kenzo, first Google result when you search unofficial opengapps

bugs:
- toast messages are unreadable white text on light grey in some or all apps

- no menu to add icons to home screen in play store or anywhere without Google assistant installed - edit: this is Lawnchair launcher issue

- not possible to add website shortcut to home screen from browser despite browser saying it was successful, though saved old shortcut works so I guess in theory it should be possible to edit somewhere edit: another Lawnchair launcher issue

- not really bug, but no dark settings option, it's very light, maybe need third party like substratum which I don't fancy

- also battery icon always displayed even if you enable percentage text

- regarding performance profile, if you search in Settings for performance you still find this option but when you tap on it, it will crash, would it be possible to bring back this option as in 14.1?

AFAIK, 'Efficiency' performance mode works by disabling the big cpu cluster without touching other aspect on LITTLE cluster.


This can be done with terminal via sysctl interfaces assuming you've rooted you device.


For big core aka Cortex-A57 aka Jetpack: :laugh:

Su
echo N >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/core_ctl/max_cpus

For LITTLE core aka Cortex-A53 aka Slowpoke: :(

Su
echo N >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/core_ctl/max_cpus

Obviously, N = number of core to activate.


Btw, turning off all LITTLE's core and just using both the big's core wasn't the best decision, if anybody wonders. ;)

team superluminal disabled in Efficiency big cores, slow down little cores to 1.2ghz with governor smartmax (which I don't have) and limit maximum frequency of GPU to 180MHz, I tried to replicate it through kernel adiutor, will see if it helps

Wrong toast colors sounds like app bug as far as I can tell.
We haven't ported performance profiles yet.
There will be themes eventually.

Regarding smartmax governor, why not just using Interactive Advance Tweak? I found out Glassfish 1.2 give me the best SoT. Your mileage may vary.

another bug - if you don't select default browser app you won't get sign in notification for public WiFi networks. sign in notification worked fine in 14.1 even without selected default browser

any idea how to disable globally annoying heads up peeking notifications? also where disappeared notification level setting?

I got some issues.
1.The strategy of auto brightness seemed a little weird.
2.The Brower can't download things.
3.When I play games, the FPS is so low, can't get 30 or much worse, even I run the CPU(6 cores) and GPU all in max clock.

1. No idea. Not using auto brightness ever.

2. Yeah, I can confirm this. Switching to other browser fix it.

3. Probably thermal throttle kicks-in. Check your device temp.
