Official LineageOS 14.1 Q&A thread

Use this thread for questions, help and anything else about LineageOS that does not belong to the ROM development itself, thank you.
FAQs
Does LineageOS support VoLTE? YES
If I install LineageOS will I lose MotoActions? We have our own implementation of MotoActions configurable under Settings -> Gestures, so the answer is No
Your ROM is unrooted, can I install SuperSU? We discourage SuperSU usage, flash our su package (arm) and then enable root access from Settings -> Developer options.

Hi @Alberto97, thanks a lot for your precious work for osprey. Just wanted to know whether dual sim is properly implemented in lineage OS? As posted by some users dual sim especially data switch is broken.

Data switch is not broken, simply when switching from wifi to mobile data sometimes you need a reboot to make mobile data working (it happened just twice here in months)

Thanks @Alberto97 for the prompt reply ! Could be coz of some other mod I had flashed ! Can I expect that in future builds ??

Excuse me, but what is the route to turn off led on charge? (Didn´t see this thread and post same question on original)
I've already figured it out. From the search option - enter (ba) - Battery light - turn off

Settings -> Notifications -> Configure (gear icon in the top right) -> Battery light -> toggle the switch.

is audio fx operational?
I can't see any difference in audio.If it is not working removal from the builds is a good option or not?

Hi I really appreciate your work. Although I would want to know if in future there will be an option to disable one SIM in dual SIM phones.
You have any idea how to disable single SIM?
Thanks

That feature generally relies on closed source qcom components though looks like motorola uses its own implementation. Additionally I have a single sim variant of osprey and I don't want to include anymore components that I can't test, I already did a big mistake with IMS/VoLTE support.

Are there problems with WiFi?
I have the (XT1543)

this rom have substratum support?

This may actually be a development question, but I'm going to err on the side of caution and post here first, then see if @Alberto97 thinks it's worth elevating to the dev thread.
I have an XT1540 2GB/16GB osprey on MetroPCS (T-Mobile MVNO reseller in the US), and I had successfully managed to get Pokemon Go working for several versions of the 7.1 releases.
Specifically using iSu by @bhb27 (thanks! ), which renames the su binaries when toggled on, and then puts them back when toggled off. No Xposed framework (I know, I know; don't even think about it near a CM development thread), no Magisk, no Chainfire or phh SuperSU... always making backups with Titanium Backup then restoring things one at a time (and re-doing system settings, not restoring) after a full wipe & clean flash. Using TWRP 3.0.2-r5 and a known-good MicroSD card.
Versions where I think it worked:
CM 14.1 (Dec 25 & 27 builds)
Lineage Unofficial (Jan 12, 13, & 14 builds - I know those were supposed to be for just the CDMA variant, but they also seemed to have the side effect of making the GPS and PoGo work again)
Versions where it hasn't worked:
LineageOS Unofficial (Jan 10 and before): Would NEVER get a GPS fix, no matter how long I left it running. GPS Status was able to get a location properly, even in device-only mode; it just wasn't passing through.
LineageOS Official (Jan 25): Gets a GPS fix, but seems to fail SafetyNet attestation, both with official root add-on from lineageos.org applied then hidden with iSu, and with a fresh install that doesn't even have the root add-on package installed.
Again, that's with internal storage/data/system/cache/dalvik/your mom all wiped and a clean install.
So, CM/LOS used to pass SafetyNet, at least well enough for Pokemon Go to successfully sign in with my Google account credentials, merely by renaming/deleting the su binaries. Now it doesn't. Is that due to how the add-on package applies root vs. how it was baked-in before? Any recommendations on what to try? I know it's not everyone's highest priority, but my wife & I enjoy playing when we go for a walk, so being able to continue doing a favorite activity on my favorite ROM is something I'd appreciate immensely.

Is there any way to record on 60fps like in Cm13?

If I flash this lineage rom using twrp , will I lose root access?? If yes, then how will I root again? Pls help... And what are the things which are not working in this rom..?

Yes if you flash lineage you will not have root access as the ROM does not have root built-in. You have to flash lineage provided root zip or SuperSU 2.79+ after flashing ROM+Gapps.

Android Nougat ROMs List for the BLU Life One X 2016

This is a list of Nougat ROMs for this device and it's clones.
The list will be in the following format:
ROM : Version : Device : Tested/Untested
LineageOS : 14.1 : MMXC5 / E481 : Untested
Resurrection Remix : 5.8.4 : MMXC5 / E481 : Tested
crDROID : v3.5 : MMXC5 / E481 : Tested
AOSGPX : 7.1.2 : MMXC5 / E481 : Untested
There are also ROMs for the Elephone P8000, however the first time I tried one I got into a bootloop. It could just have been that I didn't wipe my caches, or it could have been a fault in the ROM; nonetheless I haven't tried any others from that device.
I couldn't find any for other devices, let me know if you see others.
Here is the factory firmware, as according to this post (Direct Download).
Also, the stock recovery: Original Post | Direct Download.

Im currently running crDroid and I couldn't be happier. Runs far better than the original firmware and the useless marshmallow update.

Have you encountered any bugs with crDroid? Did screen on time and standby increase by any good margin because doze and other os optimizations? With stock I get 7hrs SOT with LTE half the day. 5hrs if Skype calls and such.

Only bug so far is the kill app button not working (long press the back button) and sometimes after reboot sim cards not being detected. Usually it corrects itself after a few minutes. If not, I'll just re-flash the fix
Battery gets drained pretty fast compared to lollipop, but then again I used lollipop with xposed, greenify and amplify.

Happy to hear only minor bugs. I'm waiting on black Friday SD card to ship and then I'll be able to test too.
On lollipop all I needed to use was power nap to kill unwanted wake locks. I'll definitely try to get it to work because batter life is important to me. Only reason I'm upgrading is because of older exploits that stock didn't get updates for. Other than that stock with xposed is extremely stable for me.(30-60 days between reboots)
Do you know if crDroid is using stock lollipop kernel or is it a ported kernel? That would effect battery life greatly I suppose.

review of roms
Review time. Installed and tested these roms by wiping dalvik cache, system, data, cache and internal storage. Flashed ROM then gapps then "front camera flash" patch lastly flashed sim patch. Afterwards I wiped cache and dalvik cache again before rebooting. Once I had access to settings I disabled display live/night mode/blue filter for all ROMs.
All the roms tested used about 1GB of ram (and stock ROM being around <600MB.).
Resurrection Remix : 5.8.4 : Looks to me a part of this rom was made by another group of people that were not given credit.. Default browser loads the homepage of the other group. The system FM radio app was asking for root permission(denied it). Also it had email services running before I added any accounts can't remember this being the norm. Other than that this ROM ran the best in terms of speed and ui. Uninstalled because of security concerns.
LineageOS : 14.1 : This ROM has about the same speed as resurrection which is good but the ui stuttered/not smooth. Uninstalled because ported by same user as resurrection.
crDROID : v3.5 : This one ran the worse. It was slow and stuttered throughout the ui. Missed some customizations that Resurrection had so not sure why any one would want to use this instead.
AOSGPX : Didn't bother installing because last I heard they copied and pasted code from crDRoid.
At the end of the day I reverted back to stock because of security concerns. As well as having more ram available for apps. If I had more than one phone phone I would wireshark/test connections of the ROMs to confirm but I do not have. Hopfully this helps someone.

Just wondering with the ROM testing, did you disable the LiveDisplay nonsense? It drops my FPS to about 10, and is enabled by default.
Sorry, didn't read your whole post. I didn't find UI stuttering unless I enabled weird kernel stuff, or had L Speed installed.

Does anyone happen to know if any of these ROMs fix the problem that the official MM caused which was that all camera apps created a very dark image and took extremely dark photos?

sucktastic battery life (not like the original firmware was good to begin with) no compass (gmaps will point north regardless of your orientation) as soon as you install the google app (okay google!) the device will run a bit slower.

SP flash tool, scatter file and the original firmware (not a flashable zip). It's all in the original BLOX thread, buried somewhere there. Flash TWRP recovery using adb fastboot and flash super su with twrp recovery for root access.

Wow, thorough, thanks. Don't know what half those things are but I'll look them up. I guess there's no way to go straight back to Lollipop without flashing a stock ROM. I mean, by rooting it now maybe and then downgrading or something?

You could flash a lollipop twrp backup, if anyone uploaded one or if you made one before. But if you don't have it, only way is by sp flash tool and original firmware (which is not a recovery flashable zip).

Been using the Crdroid rom for a few weeks now. Havn't had any lag or extreme battery issues. Im interested in trying the resurrection remix rom since it was tested to be the fastest, tho them security issues are kinda holding me back. One thing im lookin for is front camera flash and back aswell. on Crdroid u cannot toggle it in the camera app, tho the flash works.

What are these security issues people are mentioning? Isn't a ROM a ROM? I don't get it.
Also, if crDroid works fine, you could just try any other camera app. There are several that are quite good. I wish there were videos of crDroid.

I mean with what's going on with Kaspersky being investigated for allowing certain trogens to work undetected and Kaspersky is own by Russians and since when does fm radio need root access.
Just a bit sketchy you know... But it could be just over-thinking it.

I am testing now. I haven't checked it enough to saying it's a rom issue; just wondering if anyone else has had it. It worked find with AfWall yesterday, but now in and out. I remember the same issue with AfWall on certain CM 12 roms...

oh man, thanks for making these ROMs, but the updater of 7.1 recommended this update and I just pressed install. Recovering from a brick now…
I'll come back to it later, when I have time for all the prerequisites.

OpenDelta
Nice work. OpenDelta advertised this update which I naturally installed without checking the requirements here. No requirements were stated before the update. Bricked my phone in a place where I couldn't do much about it. Just ask to please be more considerate since I more or less trust the update tool.

FYI: I dirty flashed from 7.1.2 via opendelta too. Once I flashed the oem partition using fastboot, the device booted again (only a handful of apps force closed and needed their data cleared to function properly again). Not the best choice to make this update available for installation with opendelta, no...
edit: forgot to mention I of course also had to update gapps to an 8.1 supporting version. I downloaded an unofficial pico opengapps from here

Good to know flashing the odm image helps when updating from 7.1
About opendelta, i don't have much control over it to filter out the 8.1 build. It's all done automatically.
Besides, it did do its job well. It notified about the new version.
The requirement to flash a seperate ODM image is similar to how it's needed to flash a vendor image, and not just system and boot images, on Google devices. Guess that's new for Sony devices, hence this confusion.

@oshmoun - how about kcal support? Here's my tests with kppd - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75200267&postcount=64 (and forward)

@oshmoun: Yeah I was kind of surprised to see 8.1 was available through opendelta, and I didn't think it would work. So I backed up everything before upgrading. Which is probably what people should do before upgrading anyway
Flashing the oem partition was a relatively easy fix, so it's all good.
Thanks again for your great work! It's much appreciated as the number of custom roms for kugo is really slim pickings.

Latest stock ftf compatible is 34.3.A.0.252, right?
EDIT: It seems so. Flashed it and this build works great with it, so far.

I've performed a clean install after full wipe and also don't have mobile data working. Wi-Fi works, though.
Strange issue I have is the lack of sound over bluetooth ONLY in calls. Playing music/video works otherwise. It's quite baffling. This was working as expected on 7.1.

so are the micro lags fixed or still happening? there were slow downs and microlags on on games like clash royale etc... not as smooth as stock

This is excellent news! For those of us coming from 8.1 should we dirty flash (along with dsp-label-fixer) or is full data wipe required?

Tried already but not booting completely.
I came from Omni 9 homemade.
Installed this one and restartet and waited about 20 minutes, but only the omni sign visible with wobbly feelers.
Then restored backup.

Is GPS working? I have just installed the ROM with binaries v9 and GPS detects satellites, but cannot lock onto any. (I previously had harry's ROM with the same problem as well, I guess it's poor implementation from the AOSP end)
EDIT: GPS works
EDIT 2: GPS has a mind of its own and will not work except for the time when it does, currently investigating (probably something wrong with my phone)

Thank you, I also got it to work after waiting a while, enabling mobile data as well as derping around with A-GPS settings in the process appears to have worked (not sure which, though). For future reference, my phone locked in after detecting at least 8 satellites with ~20% signal.

All seems work (camera, fingerprint...) but an important things don't work. The phone conversation don't work (micro and audio), I can't received and emit sound. BUT the contact can received the sound of phone numbering ?!?!!
I specify that the sound and the microphone works perfectly.
So it's unusable.
I return to => Omnirom 8.1

The Unofficial version of OmniROM by HarryHarryHarry had a similar issue, the fix was to first flash the latest stock ftf image (ends with .118), flash twrp and do a clean install of the rom. I would think this fix is going to work for this version too.

I'm currently running the Omnirom 8.1, and I just got a pushed message from OpenDelta on the phone itself:
Update ready to download
omni-9-20190616-kugo-WEEKLY

Can I update to Omnirom 9 from the phone itself by running that? Or must I download the rom on my computer and install it the normal way?

Great I will try this very soon!

8.1 omni -> this rom -> micphone issue
so,
i will try back to stock rom, and flash this rom. thanks

In regards to the device crashing/rebooting issue. Does underclocking help at all?

I'm not responsible for any damage to your device of any sort.
By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!
If you want to check firmware - please make backup. Better to store all partitions, at least efs and may be modem.
I'm using nano/pico gapps.
Instructions
1. Install custom recovery
2. Download the zip(s) - firmware and Google Apps additional package (optional)
3. Backup all partitions (it least efs) and store somewhere - it need to do - because you can loose imei
4. Full wipe all
5. Flash firmware and gapps
Work
Almost all
Known Issues
- video record

Recovery
Official version is too old and will not work with latest lineage builds (theoretically you can remove first 2 lines from "\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script" and install using official). I made repack of more fresh twrp recovery. Only one problem here: after turn-off screen, it cannt turn-on again. Hold volume up + power + home combination untill you back to recovery. Or you can in recovery in settings disable screen timeout.

Thanks to LineageOS team

Just updated from lineage-13.0-20190417. Everything I use daily seems to work. (I don't use phone/LTE, BT or Camera). Extra bonus: The capacitive buttons lit up for the first time in years.
The only issue I've found so far is that auto-rotate sometimes stops working.
Huge thanks to @Valera1978 for keeping our device alive!

Not very likely. T320, T325 and T525 have Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC's inside, so most of the codebase can be shared between them. T520 has Exynos which is a totally different beast.
And, yes, it's a brilliant ROM. Been my daily driver since my first post to this thread despite the problems with auto-rotation. I'm using the "Rotation Control" app, which makes it just a minor annoyance.

Unbelievable! Thank you very very much! Everything works. Feels like a new tablet!
Are you also working on Android 10?

Thanks a lot for this ROM!!! I just have a problem with Skype: in every call the other person doesn`t hear me. Sound recording - however - works. What can I do?

Thanks for your hint. Unfortunately, it didnt work for me. However the reason might be, that I am really a beginner on LineageOS and patching Android devices.
I copied the file (mixer_paths.xml) and edited the build.prop with "build.prob.editor".
Result is, that there is no sound at all any more, what remains even after restoring the old data.
Can someone help me?

Ok, I managed to fix it.
Just change in /system/build.prop the value from vendor.dedicated.device.for.voip=true
to vendor.dedicated.device.for.voip=false.
And then Skype works with microphone!
Best regards!

Installed today, works like a charm, even SD card is detected on startup.
Thank you for giving my 3 devices (T320, T325, T525) a new life!

Does someone use mobile Internet on this firmware? For unknown reasons, the sim card is lost. On the drain this was not. helps (not always) switching to airplane mode and subsequent reboot

Thank you for this ROM. It's quite stable.
However, auto rotation is not always working.
Looking forward to the Android 10 ROM for T525 ?

That's the only small issue I have with this ROM. With Rotation Control, though, it's more than manageable.

Hi
I have a T525 which was running android 4.4 . I am a newbie and manage to change the TWRP and install the above version of LineageOS however I am struggling to find a version of GApps that works. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Rob

Open GApps Pico has worked very well for me with both 16.0 and 17.1.
Platform: ARM
Android: 9.0
Variant: Pico
Nano should be ok as well. Just avoid any variant which installs the Pixel Launcher. I had huge problems with it when I initially flashed Stock GApps with 16.0. Since then I've gone with Pico with zero problems.
P.S. Why would you want to install 16.0 when 17.1 is available with frequent (= monthly) updates? I'm fairly sure @Valera1978 won't be pushing out another version of 16.0. The latest available version is from February.

I have a question, it's more convenient install this build or the android q build? which one of theese will be much supported?
