Problems after upgrading to LineageOS 18.1 - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I used LineageOS 17.1 on my OnePlus 6 for months without problems. But after the release of the new version i upgraded to LineageOS 18.1 and since then I have problems.
My Wifi is shaky and loses the connection regularly or cannot connect at all, the connection to the mobile network works better, but it loses the connection from time to time too. My camera also stops working when i record videos, stating that another app uses my camera device.
I followed the upgrade instructions from the lineageOS wiki, including extracting and upgrading the radio etc. and it seemed fine, but I think something went wrong.
What would be the best way to fix my phone? I was thinking of installing the newest StockROM and then installing LineageOS from Scratch, or is there an easier way?

I'm not sure, but if you don't have microG, I would try installing that:

Hello,
thank you for your recommendation, but I use LineageOS to avoid Google Services, so installing microG isnt an option for me. Also 17.1 worked fine without it for me.

I get it - I avoid using microG, too. However, I remember seeing a YT video where the guy said that you WILL get wifi and camera problems if you don't have it installed. Like you, I haven't had any problems with LineageOS 17, but I wonder if it's a case where the problems set in after a certain period...
You could always install microG to see if the problems go away then uninstall it.

Bad experience after updating to Android 10

Hey all, I have a OP 7 pro and ever since receiving the OTA update to 10.0.3 everything seems to be buggy. Soon after, 10.3.0 came along and is no better.
Some of my issues include:
- battery drain
- GPS not accurate
- Many apps showing no network connection even though I have internet
- apps crashing on their own
- play store and games won't stay logged in
There are other issues but I can't remember at there moment.
Is there a resolution for these? Can I download back to 9?
Thanks for any advice.
You are no lucky or you are a noob
Not sure how to analyze that answer.
I'm not lucky - sems to be quite a few out there who aren't lucky then... They are posts on many sites with users complaining about issues after this upgrade.
I'm a noob - relevant? Maybe I am, I used to have another XDA account which I don't use any more... Been a member since 2008 - installed my first rooted Rom - Valhalla for the Samsung Galaxy s 4g ( not the s4, the s 4g. - that was before the s2 came out).
Again, not sure what the relevance is, just trying to understand what went wrong with the OTA.

Clear Cache in recovery, if that does not fix the issues, do a factory reset. Recommended to factory reset for maximum experience after big update., like from 9 to 10.
Did the clear cache... Still no joy
I was trying to avoid factory resetting. The upgrade on my OnePlus 5T went seamless. Oh well factory reset it is...
Just funny how Google apps seen to have the biggest issues... Lens always shows no network connection, and Google maps just plain won't pick up my location... Waze works fine which is the silly thing.
Have to wait till I get back home to do FR, thanks.
To be fair, there's not a whole lot one could say with the information given. Like are you completely stock? Rooted? What kinds of magisk modules if any? Etc...
All i can tell you is that i don't have any issues with the 10.0.3 update specifically or 10 in general.
But it does seem like your issues are related to gapps and services so I'd start there
Completely stock, I was thinking gapps... Will experiment and update
Get familiar with A/B slot partitions. It's a lot different from single slot systems.
Try a clean install through TWRP.

Not entirely sure if this matters but are you using a carrier variant or unlocked straight from OnePlus? Also, I'm not one for factory reset, but if you were experiencing problems on 10.0.3 and now 10.3, I can only surmise that some bits were probably corrupt and a factory reset would do you some good. That or flash back to 9.5 and completely update back up. Someone mentioned in another thread, that you should install the full it's 2.1gb if you are running a custom kernel.

Netflix playback not working on Lineage OS

Hey all,
since I upgraded my tablet to Lineage OS, now 13 Netlfix is just not working.
I can find the app in the Play store and install it etc - that's not the issue ( the device is NOT rooted by the way)
The app will open and the video menus are available, but the issue is with actual video playback.
At best I can maybe get one whole episode of a series to play, but then (at the latest) by the next episode it will get a few minutes in and then it will slowly fade to black and cut back out to the Netflix home menus. Of course, I've tried closing the app, logging out and bag in, dumping app cache and even data, and restarting device but this makes no difference unfortunately.
Issue repeats and repeats no matter what I do.
I think this is an issue with Lineage and Netflix, or at least an issue with custom roms and Netflix.
By the way, even though the device was not rooted at time of having the issue, I tried to use Magisk and Magisk Manager to see if this could solve the problem, but it didn't work.
This is really annoying because tbh Netflix is probably the main thing I use my tablet for!
Anybody got any ideas? Would appreciate any advice!
i think there's some bugs in the rom. i'm using lineage os 17.1 rooted with magisk and my Netflix app works absolutely fine. and when i was using lineage os 16 it was working good no issue at all

Ah ok, good to know thanks. Unfortunately only Lineage 14 and not higher is available for my device
My tablet is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (GT-P5110) - I know super old, but that was the reason for using a custom rom in the first place.
I deliberately didn't mention my device before because I still think the issue is more to do with Lineage, and not directly to do with my device.

Worth to install LineageOS 16.0 on T5 ?

Hi,
Those who installed LineageOS on T5, could you please share your experience ?
I noted from few comments on this forum:
5GHz Wifi is not working but 2.4 GHz is working fine
disable HW overlays in the dev options to remove blur
disable AudioFX to correct sound
Is there any other prooblem ? What about bluetooth, camera, GPS, gapps ?
Any feedback will be appreciated
I'm the one who said it didn't work on 5GHz wifi, it is working.
I had to wait several minutes until my AP appeared, once I connected for the first time it did not give me any problem.
Also something like this happened when starting LineageOS for the first time, it did not connect neither in 2.4 nor in 5 but waiting it worked.
After disabling AudioFX I installed Eqfy Equalizer which works fine.
The camera app is not working, a white line appears in the middle of the screen and there are no photo options or anything.
Since I don't use it to take photos, I have not tried more but I suppose that with some other camera app it should work.
Not tested bluetooth or GPS for now.
On the other hand, the tablet works more fluidly and you have more free space.
In the absence of trying more things, for now I'm sticking with LineageOS.
Thanks for your feedback.
I have flashed LienageOS 16, and have patched RAMDISK.IMG to install Magisk.
It looks OK, I like it so far. There are only two issues:
* Camera is not working
* I have only 2,4Ghz WiFi (which btw is working fine), but I do not see 5,0 GHz network in my list
GPS, bluetooth, sound, image,...everything seems working OK, but I didn't check in details.
Despite those two issues I will stay with LineageOS. I prefer it one hundred times over EMUI. And for camera, which btw is not very important to me neither, I will probably find a fix one day.
From time to time your 5GHz AP may appear, you can connect but then it disappears again.
Yesterday I checked, I thought it was connected in 5GHz but no, the connection was in 2.4
I confirm that the Wifi in 5GHz does not work.

I have sorted it out.
For WiFi, I changed the channel on my router, put it at 44, and now the 5,0 Ghz Wifi is visible and I can connect.
For camera, I have found a Gcam which works OK, it is "GC_4.1.006.126161292-41003513.apk", easy to find on XDA.
So now I have LineageOS fully working. For the time being everything is fast and stable.

I thik it is related to router. On my router, in settings, the choice of channel was set to automatic, I put it to 44 and it is visible, and the connection is fast and stable. For some reason the tablet doesn't see higher frequencies.

I'm going to take a look to Gcam, I've tested a couple of cam apps but not working.
Now I'm using channel 56 but previously I tested other channels, maybe the day it worked I was using a lower one, will test too.
Thanks a lot.

Hello again, I have changed the channel to 44 and for now it works fine.
The Gcam is not working for me, It tells me that it cannot find the camera and closes.

Hello. If this can be of any help: the Gcam which I installed, I found it on this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20/themes/google-camera-huawei-p20-kirin-devices-t3882198
It is : Google Camera v4.1.006.126161292, in the first post, section OTHER AVAILABLE APKs.
Maybe we’re not using the same version.
After flashing LineageOS, I found that I had two cameras : HwCamera2.apk 8.0.0.200 which I think is Huawei camera, and Camera2.apk 2.0.002. First one was crashing immediately, the second one didn’t work with a white line in the middle. Now I have first one disabled, second one is still there but useless. And third one is the one above which is OK.
Has anyone had any luck with Netflix?
I tried LineageOS yesterday and was unable to install Netflix from the play store, likely because it said I was uncertified. I was however able to download and side load Netflix, which initially appeared to resolve the issue, however any attempt to play content resulted in a 5.10 error. From what I can tell, this appears to be something to do with DRM, however the few potential solutions I've found using Magisk didn't help resolve the situation, and I've ended up reverting to Emui
Aside from Netflix, I didn't come across any other issues while testing. Unfortunately for me, Netflix was the main reason for getting this tablet in the first place, my old 3rd Gen iPad would have been more than adequate for my needs other wise
In order to get Netflix work, I installed one older versions found on apkmirror. I picked up randomly 6.21.0. I installed also liboemcrypto_disabler (even though I do not know if it was necessary), and in addition of that it is hidden in Magisk. It is working, I do not know how to check the quality, but I guess it is 720p.
Why TWRP needed why not to flash directly from stock recovery...
If you want to install LineageOS, the TWRP is not needed. You flash LineageOS via fastbot. In fact, it is better not to mess with TWRP, officially it is not supported by OpenKirin ROM's.
I also thought so but it's ok I have LineageOS installed with OpenCamera everythink seems to be working fine even LTE is there 16.1 version available ?
and also where can I get stock recovery if I need it, is it available for download anywhere ? or after LineageOS instalation it also installs stock recovery ?
If you want go to stock recovery again, On OpenKirin site there are comprehensive guides, under section Support, about where to find stock EMUI firmware, and how to extract and flash stock recovery image.
I do not think that LineageOS will install stock recovery, if you had TWRP before LineageOS installation, most likely it is still there. You may check it yourself : Vol Down + Power on boot.
I've just tried LineageOS build 6 on my AGS2-W09 and the camera seems to work ok now.
Had to install OpenCamera and set the all permissions, clear storage for this app and on the next run it can finally save the aquired photo.
The 5Ghz WiFi works with no problems (my router selected channel n.60)
As for audio: there is a glitch when device is booting, might want to not wear headphones during a reboot ☺
Haven't tried disabling AudioFX or installing Viper4Android as I am rolling back to stock firmware.
Netflix:
I think I konw why Netflix is not working: I have no IMEI with this OS.
UPDATE: IMEI should not matter on this device as it has no network.
I had tried the Netflix 6.21.0 version mentioned here and it gives me the same "Device failure occurred 501.-1006" error.
Then I've installed Kodi with a Netflix addon and it gives me: "It was not possible to get data from Widevine CryptoSession. Your system is not Widevine certified".
It is pretty clear that the LineageOS 16 build 6 (lineage-16.0-20201019-emui8-gapps.img) has no Widewine libraries installed.
Other than this the OS is very responsive, unfortunately I have to rollback because of this.
I am using this tablet for Netflix and prime on stock emui.
I really want to upgrade to custom ROM but no polished ROM anywhere!
guys how you have managed to pull boot.img from the device?
can anyone guide me through?
I have successfully managed to flash LineageOS latest build on MediaPad T5

LineageOS questions

Been in the ROM/kernel scene for waaaaaaay too long and have constantly been told that I should use LineageOS (and its predecessor), esp on the Pixel devices that are no longer supported officially. However, LineageOS consistently fails me on every device, despite my being able to get everything BUT LineageOS to work. I've got to be missing something. Going to go through my experiences below...maybe someone can advice how the heck they get LineageOS to work for them on pixel devices?
Round 1: Nexus 6 (CM)
- Installed great
- No initial issues
- Randomly, phone would report "no sim" and stop working
- Reboots sometimes fixed the SIM issue, but sometimes didn't
- Calls lost because the SIM vanished, phone dropped data during a long drive, thus losing GPS access
- Random "service stopped" errors, usually regarding bluetooth
- Never resolved, even over a dozen different versions of CM (this was before Lineage, but same base)
Round 2: Pixel 2 (LOS 16?)
- Installed great, but had to be careful which gapps to use, as most were larger than the system partition
- No SIM errors right away, but a few reboots cleared it up
- Project Fi issues nonstop, with the phone unregistering several times a day
- SIM errors came back, saying my SIM is missing or damaged
- Overheating problems with the CPU. Appears to be the known bug with the CPU, but only appears in LineageOS
- Random "service stopped" errors, usually about the launcher
- Never resolved over different versions of LineageOS (last version tried was I think 16)
Round 3: Pixel 3 (LOS 17.1)
- ROM installs fine, but the notes say you need the Super Gapps to use Project Fi...but that Gapps doesn't fit in system. This seems like an oversight. Installed with smaller Gapps for testing, knowing there may be some Project Fi issues later. Each "try" below is a fresh reformat.
- First try, it popped up an error that there was a SIM, but it was damaged and unreadable. Could not continue. Told me to order a new SIM (the SIM's fine...). Lots and lots of errors about services crashing.
- Second try, it popped up an error that there was no SIM at all. It offered to just use wifi, which I accepted for testing. After downloading updates, it said the wifi doesn't work. Reboots, retries, just wouldn't work...even though it obviously had up to that point.
- Third try, it said my SIM was damaged again. This time it offered to activate eSIM online. Not sure why it hadn't said that previously, but ok. I tell it to activate...and it says the wifi is down. But...it isn't. Wifi working great, but can't activate the phone.
Overall, super frustrating and I can't imagine others are getting these errors, or LOS would have died out looong ago. How are others getting around these?!?

I just did a brand new install of a Lineage OS 18.1 nightly on my Pixel 3. I used NikGapps core since it has support for Android 11. I don't use Project Fi so I can't attest to that. So far everything has been running perfectly, with the exception of a few missing features or bugs I cannot figure out (small quality of life issues- nothing major). I too had issues in the past with CyanogenMod and I killed my old Motorola that way (probably user error though). I know you said your SIM is fine, but being that it has happened on 3 different devices... is it actually the same exact SIM? Might be worth the $10 fee or whatever to replace it. I haven't had a single error about any services crashing or stopping, perhaps I'm just lucky? One of the roms or gapps packages I was reading the notes on said you could install it in 1 or 2 different partitions, essentially making the size a non-issue. Stupidly, I can't remember which item I read that on, but it is apparently out there if you're willing to look.
I set up all my apps and stuff over WiFi and got the phone how I want it before plugging in my SIM card. I'm on T-Mobile. When I plugged in the SIM I didn't have to do any configuration at all it just works, even has WiFi calling. I don't have any apps on autoupdate and was careful about what "System" apps I toggled or installed from the play store. I'm afraid I can't help you much other than to tell you the nightly from 05-18-2021 doesn't give me the issues it seems to give you. Sorry bud!

Appreciate you looking at that. I haven't tried 18.1 yet, as I'm a bit gunshy after how bad 17.1 went for me. I'm strongly suspecting most of my issues go back to Project Fi...but it's not the SIM. I've actually bought 2 extra SIMs over the years trying to resolve this very issue. They all do the same thing on LOS.
Hadn't seen the splitting of gapps. That's news to me. Will look into that, as Project Fi requires the largest of the gapps...which is too big to fit into the system partition.

I'm running LOS 18.1 on my P3 blueline, running it for ages. I use OpenGapps Pico, and haven't had any issues to speak of. It took me a bit to figure out how to flash ROMs etc. on my P3 when I first bought it about 12 months ago, but once I got the hang of it, haven't had any issues.
LOS 18.1 seems very fast and responsive. Rooting with Magisk 23, running LSPosed through Riru, and even have Google Pay working like a charm. Android Auto working perfectly (patched with AIO and Scren2Auto so I can run virtually any apps on my car display if I want to).
Updates are fairly smooth; the only catch is I have to be careful to reflash the Magisk-patched boot.img before rebooting into the system, otherwise I lose root, and by extension, GPay stops working. I just update the ROM using ADB instead of the on-device updater, flash in TWRP recovery, then flash the patched boot.img in Fastboot ... reboot ... and Bob's your uncle.
I also have an old Nexus 7 (2013), and run LOS 18.1 on that 8-year-old tablet very nicely. It can be a tad sluggish on occasion, but for the most part it runs perfectly. The N7 is mostly my games/play machine. I use WiFi hotspot from the P3 when out and about to give the N7 internet access when needed - no problems.
All that to say ... Don't be afraid to try LOS 18.1. It's a fantastic ROM. Can't wait until LOS 19 builds start cropping up.

Good info. Have 18.1 also and have it set up to allow OTA updates and keep magisk and my gapps. Have only done 1 update that way but works perfectly, keeps magisk modules also.
Curious, which twrp are u using? Didn't think there was one available?
cheers

Not using TWRP, I'm just using LOS recovery. Sadly, it doesn't allow for doing backups, but it does the job otherwise.
Just an update BTW - currently running into issues with Google Pay/SafetyNet, but it's due to Google playing silly buggers with GPay again, not the fault of LOS.

NFC not working properly

I cant get NFC to work properly. My phone is able to read cards and tags in NFC mode but it doesnt emit anything. E.g. google pay is not working.
I have ArrowOS 11 with latest MIUI firmware.
I tried with my wifes NFC phone and my Poco can register signal from her phone but not the other way around.
Im thinking firmware issues or something with ArrowOS?
Any ideas?
I've got a similar issue, I can't get NFC payments to work. Also using Arrow OS 11 (latest release) with the newest miui firmware. Tried to root my phone with Magisk 24 to see if this works but until now without any success. Any help would be great.
I was able to get mine to work yesterday using an apple 12 as reciever.
The signal is insanely weak, i literally had to use a precise angle at a certain spot on the iphone to get a registration.
There is no way to get a card terminal to register anything this NFC emits. Seems it has to be closer than a few millimeters apart to get any registration.
Which is strange because i can scan tags/cards that are a few cm away without issue..
Im thinking this is a hardware issue

Install Magisk 23, hide the Magisk app (it will get a different icon and a different package name), hide Magisk from Google Play, Google Pay and your banking apps, install GPay SQLite Fix v2.6 from here:
