HELP! GPS doesn't work with LineageOS 18.1 - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I'm proud to say that I've successfully installed lineageOS 18.1 on my old Oneplus One.
On the other hand I've found some problem with the camera (sometimes) and on GPS signal. It doesn't work AT ALL!
I tried to install some GPX fix app but nothing happened. It didn't recognize anywhere my position and I cannot fix it.
it is just a bug that some of you have found in the same way?
Thank you for any help.

Same issue. Just upgraded both recovery and Lineage from 14.x so I can gift the phone to my niece and noticed GPS isnt working.

Hello, LineageOS maintainer here. Would you be able to install and try a test build with a GPS fix? I can send it to you in a couple of days.

Ok, I'll give you the build today or tomorrow.

Please count me in too, I've tried to install GPS Fix app but nothing happened. It doesn't see any satellite.

New OTA update pushed seemes to have fixed the issue before could even try Tomtom's fix.
Nightly was 20211007
Verified through Google maps and find my device service.
Big thanks to Tomtom for his willingness to reach out and help with such an old device.

....IT WORKS!!!!
Thank u so much!!!

hello ,
just an other question.
as you say you installed lineage 18.1 on oneplus one. i guess with the gapps.but,
and thats my question how do you do install gapps. i always get an error 70. whats my fault

I flashed LineageOS 20220203 to my OnePlus One this Saturday (5th Feb) and I noticed that my GPS is not working. Is there a patch for this that I can use?
Edit: Before flashing LineageOS 18.1, I had first reset the phone to stock firmware by following this post - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ck-current-build-cm13-1-2-znh2kas3p0.2826541/ could this have affected the GPS in any way?

You're talking about pirated apps on XDA, massively against the rules so you won't get any help on here.

[ROM] LineageOS 14.1 for Xperia X Compact Unoff.(Android 7.1.2, Patchlvl Jan 2018)

Hi folks,
some hardware crash later I found some time again to compile a plain version of LineageOS 14.1 for the Xperia X Compact (kugo). Android version of this build is 7.1.2 with patches and kernel from January 2018. No other software integrated, so you have to install Viper4Android etc. yourself for now to make the AudioFX work. Other issues still remain:
- Selfiecam still upside down (Android API issue?) Fix it using i.e. Simple Cam or similar
- FM Radio doesn't seem to work reliably (binary blob issue?)
I did an update installation with this one on a self-built LOS 14.1 from December so please feel free to do a full install :good:
Download links to the ROM and the corresponding md5sum file for validation when installing with TWRP (I will add some links to AndroidFileHost later):

This is great !! Although this rom/thread will probably not get the attention it deserves because you posted it in the Questions & Answers category instead of Roms & Kernels etc.. If you can't move it, maybe you can contact a moderator to get this thread moved to the correct category.
great job, just installed it on my wifes XC and it works like a charm, thanks a zillion !

Can't confirm these issues with my XC and service provider, everything seems to sound normal to me. Still annoying is that changing the volume during calls doesn't seem to work though

How to flash? When flash - bootloop with twrp, stay at lineage logo. What is md5 file for?
From the Moderator Oka1
To all,
I moved this thread to Roms and Kernels where it should be long
I hope all will appreciate the work that was done to make this Rom possible.
To the OP ... Please remember to post your source code in the Git or other approved repository
Thanks ! ~~~ Oka1

Flash with TWRP. The md5sum can be used for verification within TWRP if you check the corresponding box. Clear at least cache, dalvik before install though.

Doesnt work
Updater process ended with error 7
*nevermind it kicked in after several reboots.
People calling me report a strong echo, i.e. they hear their own voice played back at them. On my end, everything sounds fine, no echo. But it's kind of embarassing to put my callers through this. Won't be able to keep this ROM like this.
Hi bro, thanks for your work! And could you share the code on the github?
Because I tried to build lineage 15.1 on my kugo using the code shared by sony AOSP team, but I failed a lot of times.
I hope to see your code and maybe I can learn some something from it.
Thank you very much.

I tested lineageos15.1 and it worked, boot was ok and rom very smooth.
I will do it again as soon as I will have a day free.
A little help in the procedure would be great. I've already bricked my 6A by formatting the wrong directories, and had to go to a Xiaomi center to get it fixed. Details would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance ?

Yet SIM doesn't work that well from my experience. I have to "activate" SIM signal and calls and sms won't work.
Otherwise if you still want help reply to me
I still want help. I don't want another bricked phone, that was a nightmare I just don't need right now. Please describe the whole process, from start to finish.
I did it at a moment that I had several free hours.
But now, it's too complicated for me touche find Time to do it again.
I juste followed the steps described un official TWRP github, and then install LOS15.1 Treble image.
boot, login, smooth and wifi was ok But didn't have enough Time to test with a sim for calls or data...
So I reflash stock miui 10 with miflash to find an usable phone.
Juste need a free moment to test los15.1 again and other gsi roms like aosp8.1, pixel experience, etc...
Interested too
Hi.
i'm very interested in having your feedback as i intend to put LineageOS or AOSP Treble on my Redmi 6 global version next month after the bootloader unlock time.
Do you plan to install OpenGoogleApps and root too?
Thanks!

Do these ROMs have the slight but constant micro-stuttering that the stock ROM has?
I guess all these ROMs are loaded with Google's stuff?
With the exception of Play Store I'd like to be free of the Google fleet of useless apps.
It's great that you've been able to port these ROMs. I hope a lot of people use them. I just have different needs! Tx.

Yes, all of them. You can "freeze" or delete unwanted Google apps. Do it manually or try to find scripts which can do this automatically.
Hi, I was thinking to buy this tablet.
Can these ROMs fix the issue of too high brightness even at the lowest level?
If not can you recommend a free application to solve the problem?
Better this or teclast m89 pro? Thanks.

To solved this brightness issue I use the sFilter app or any other blue light filter app.
But to tell the truth, I wouldn't recommend to buy any Teclast tablet. I have a problem where he doesn't accept the installation of Instagram or Facebook app. I saw that many people have the same problem.
Anyone else with this problem or know how to solve?

I added solution, check it and let me know if it works for u
It's possible to change brightness limits manually by editing firmware files, If there's a big problem for u and other users I can change its' range sometime. Just let me know what firmware u are using.
Hello dev!
Are you still working on this device firmware? I bought it this month and not even on official site could find updates for, so I don't know if there is any firmware that I should update before using these that you made...
I'm using Pixel Experience and found it great. But I had problems with the initial setup, which always had trouble trying to recover the configuration of another device. When I checked to set up as a new device it work fine.
I could not open Magisk too, but i wanted to disable it and remove, but always shows error when trying. I'll try MIUI in sequence to see if I can.
Another question: The modified Stock has gapps included? (and can I remove root?)
Thank you so much for your work, I was happy to know that have other firmware for this tablet.
PS.: sorry for the "google translator english", my english is poor. lol

I used the modified rom too and liked a lot, but I couldn't install some apps through the playstore and had problems to remove root (Magisk). So I installed ASUS ROM and it is very stable and everything is working great. I'll leave it and see what happens!

Hello!
1) There is no more firmwares to port for our device. Also I don't know much about modding firmwares, so Pixel was my first successful experiment.
2) Latest official firmware for our device is TOS v2.1 which can be found in appropriative thread here. Seems no more updates will be released for our device.
3) Restoring function is bad idea esp on custom ROM. You should always make clean installation.
4) Custom ROMs can only boot with root access (e.g. Magisk). You cant uninstall it. In other case your device wont boot (Android 7.0 classical issue). P.S Magisk is not like "classic" root, so you can "hide" it for apps that don't work on rooted device.
5) Of course stock ROM includes Gapps. All made changes are listed in topic. Root can'f be removed on any custom ROM (see p.4).

I gave the tablet to my son, the Stock ROM that came on it is'nt good and so I put the ASUS ZenUI ROM. (After testing all others)
I hide Magisk and the ROM is working perfectly.
Thank you so much for the great work.

Can't Install WhatsApp on custom rom

Dear Forum members,
I have lineae 15.1 on my Samsung S2 GT-19100 Running Oreo 8.1.0.
WhatsApp stopped supporting my version and said I needed ot upgrade. I couldn't upgrade. Just nothing happened when I tried to update.
I couldn't download via the phone so I downloaded a good .apk file and installed it via my desktop computer.
After I installed WhatsApp the app said my phone date and time was wrong so I recalibrated the date and time but it still said phone date and time is wrong.
So it was stuck on that notification page... Phone date and time is wrong.
Then it said WhatsApp does not support custom Roms. Is there any way to get WhatsApp to work on my custom rom? I've tried all I know and I can't get it working.
Thanks Community
Tim

Looking at Whatsapp's FAQ it seems like Whatsapp doesn't support custom roms and/or rooted devices. And if I understood your question right, you are currently running Lineage OS. So I would think your best hope would be finding an mod that supports rooted/custom rom devices or modding the app yourself.
If my answer helped you please upvote it to show your appreciation,
Jamie
Did you download that apk from the WhatsApp official website? Is it the latest version, v2.21.23.17 or later?
The common prompt 'the date is wrong' means that the version you are using is too old.
The version I installed is 2.18.92...
Tim
Your question got answered by WhatsApp themselves:
About rooted phones and custom ROMs | WhatsApp Help Center
faq.whatsapp.com
Try using the latest WhatsApp apk from apkmirror. I think it has more to do with the version you have installed. WhatsApp tends to disable the old APKs.
Also, although they say they don't support custom roms, it's just a pop-up that says you may face issues because you are on a custom rom which you can just click 'ok' and move forward.

WhatsApp stopped supporting my version and said I needed ot upgrade. I couldn't upgrade. Just nothing happened when I tried to update.
I couldn't download via the phone so I downloaded a good .apk file and installed it via my desktop computer.
After I installed WhatsApp the app said my phone date and time was wrong so I recalibrated the date and time but it still said phone date and time is wrong.
So it was stuck on that notification page... Phone date and time is wrong.
Then it said WhatsApp does not support custom Roms. Is there any way to get WhatsApp to work on my custom rom? I've tried all I know and I can't get it working.
Thanks Community

Get the lastest apk of v2.21.23.25 from the WhatsApp official website or update it through Google Play Store at first.
I loaded the latest version and it restored all my conversations and content. What a refreshing simple answer ! So easy..
I was assuming all sorts of mismatches but it worked a treat. Usually I avoid the lates versions because of matching issues.
Thanks for the guidance, I should have spotted that myself.. ! Enjoy your day.

Try using the latest WhatsApp apk from apkmirror. I think it has more to do with the version you have installed. WhatsApp tends to disable the old APKs.
Also, although they say they don't support custom roms, it's just a pop-up that says you may face issues because you are on a custom rom which you can just click 'ok' and move forward.
