If I only write to the system and gapps, then I can boot normally.
If magisk are written, the system cannot be boot on and restarts in a loop.
Correctly installed Rom Lineage 19 and MindTheGapps in xiaWRomi MI4C with 2Gb of storage. I have the TWRP Orange-Fox and the F2FS partition, I formatted the data and did a zip installation lineage-19.1-20220518-UNOFFICIAL-libra, deleted in system/system/fonts Notosans CJK in case there was not enough space to install MindTheGapps-12.1 .0-arm64-20220416_174313.zip.
Everything worked fine, after setting up the Google account.
Don't install Magics, because someone said it was incompatible.
If I find any error, I'll tell you about it. Thank you very much
Edit:I just installed Magisk v25.0 working perfectly.
Edit: After using it for two days with internet, Sygic, Google Maps, iGo and it works fine. The problems that I detect are: some unexpected restart, some delay on the unlock screen. The GPS connection is not precise, but it was already with the previous ROMs and the battery is fine.
Thank you very much for keeping MI 4c alive
thanks a lot
Hi @tipzrickycheung,
Thank you for the ROM.
I use Mi4c, 3GB RAM. I flashed recommended Firmware before I clean flash your ROM. What I've noticed is that the phone is getting quite hot when not much loaded. Also there are issues with Bluthooth. It happens each time I connect to Hi-Fi system and then I can't do much on the phone, it freezes. I have to restart it.

I am not an expert to make a tutorial, my way of proceeding is: trial and error.
The process is the same that we use to install other previous ROMs.
My experiments are always with a device that I don't need, so if it doesn't work the first time, I try again ?????
If you have any specific problem, you can comment on it and we will try to find a solution.
Cheer up and good luck
Now i have TWRP installed and MIUI 9.5.2.0 (NXKCNFA) running on my device.
What should be the next step? To boot into TWRP and wipe the phone? Than i should copy the LineageOS 19.1 on the phone?
In this link you have instructions on how to do it.

Hi,
I consider it stable. I use it as a daily driver, and it runs very smooth.
Ok, but just to be sure before format, the process is Wipe-Install ROM-Install NanoDroid, right?

I will update the instructions in the OP. Correct, but just to be safe let the devices boot up once before flashing nanodroid to complete the installer. This is optional but i did it for the sake of having less possible trouble.
Does it support Pie Firmware?

Tianma Display
Hi,
I really like your mod for LOS but i have a problem.
I was wondering if you can help me make this ROM works on mine.
With your version or https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=6623671 version i get the same result, it boots to a black screen and nothing else. LOS is running but nothing on screen.
After some research, found that this is a problem due to missing support of Huaxing Display and needed a custom Kernel like this one to fix it (https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/development/kernel-basickernel-t3858954).
All Redmi Note 5 Pro doesn't have the same display and mine doesn't have the Huaxing display !
Mine have a Tiama display and didn't find howt o fix this and make LOS works.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks !
Anybody face fluctuative signal?? Compared to PE and AEX, signal on this rom really fluctuative. I got full bar 4G LTE, and suddenly drop (-82 dBm suddenly drop to -103 dBm and after a few second, its back to around -80 dBm, after a vew minutes its drop again and rise again)

fpc is dead after a reboot
Awesome work devs, everything I need works perfectly. Can't believe the smoothness for an early build. Hope FPS will be fixed soon
Gestures working or not?
Nice! Looking forward to stable builds ?
Thanks for your efforts!
You are pretty good!
I am getting a black screen after boot with a bootloop after few minutes. I use beta 6 Bitgapps.
Thanks the great job, I installed BitGapps 10.0 beta 6, working smooth.
Another mirror would be nice! Thanks dev for your work, it's really awesome that you made this.
EDIT: Actually to bypass this, just save the file to your drive then hit Make a Copy then download the copy.
EDIT 2: Flashed. I did a reboot after the initial boot since that cleared up a lot of errors. Some things I noticed:
Back gesture does not work.
I don't see the option to add the fingerprint. I read the OP so I know its partially working, but did not think it was completely removed.
No option to chose a different accent color other than the default.
All of that said, insane how well this first build runs. Remarkable work dev
GPS Fix / Accuracy issue
Hi; Lineage17, bitgappsv6 - anyone having GPS fix/accuracy issues? All permissions were granted to apps, but unable to get proper GPS location fix; tried with a few apps. Satellites seems to be seen, but location not - currently not sure whether it is gapps related, ROM, some other permission or just my phone. Will someone be so kind as to test? attached is screenshot from gps test

Tried with GPS Unlocker now (attached)
in-view 14

not fixing
which makes me think this is some kind of permission problem on my side. My installation process with installation was:
1. Reboot to TWRP & wipe system, vendor (vendor is included in LOS17), data, cache, dalvik & cache
2. Flash Lineageos 17.0 20190922
3. Flash BitGAPPS Beta 6 (latest)
4. Flash Magisk 19.5 (as instructed)
5. Reboot & setup gmail account etc.
Did you do anything different from what I did above?
Thanks for testing
EDIT: The issue was resolved. I had the weekly chinese firmware flashed to my phone for a previous ROM. After I reflashed V10.2.3.0 (Global) firmware, and rebooted; GPS came right for me, and fixing fast.
Is it possible to use virtual navbar (and disable HW keys) on this build?
Can anybody release screenshots pls

Thanks for the ROM!
Just installed the 20201003 build and it flawlessly so far.
Just a quick question, I can't seem to delete the search widget in the default launcher (quickstep), are there any way to delete it?
Also there are no "Advanced restart" option anymore, is there a way to have a reboot to recovery/bootloader entry in the new Android 11 power menu?

Launcher customizations aren't brought up yet thus search bar is stuck there for time being.

Power menu additions aren't brought up either.

Hello. Does the rom have signiture spoofing?
Gapps Not working
LineageOS version: 18.0
LineageOS Download url: First one I can`t submit the post with the link, this is the version: lineage-18.0-20201016_012612-UNOFFICIAL-kirin.zip
Gapps version: Here is where the issue occurs. None of the Gapps found here, and in first pages in Google by searching "Lineage OS 18 gapps" or either "Android 11 gapps" ever worked on Lineage OS 18.
I flashed with TWRP (I tried also with the Lineage OS recovery but I know that Gapps are not signed and return error from there) Immediately after a clean installation of Lineage OS 18 and wipe, All Open Gapps versions found, BitApps, NikApps and others came with error code 20, error code 70 (I tried with resizing the partition, switching slots, did not work) or fatal error. I managed to flash some of them successfully but they never showed up after turning on the phone.
Everything else except Gapps working as expected until now.
The same kernel is used as for Lineage OS 17.1 that was previously used with a working OpenGapps flash.
The phone version is Xperia 10 I4113, no modifications were made, just Unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery, Flashed Lineage OS 18 and Flashed all versions of Gapps with no success.
In case you`ve tested and got Gapps successfully after installing the rom share this version with us so we can flash it and use the ROM for daily routines by continue testing.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Did you actually reboot recovery between installing rom and gapps?

Yes, I did that multiple times during all night long with many different Gapps versions and reboots of the recovery between ROM flashing and Gapps.
If it is possible to provide a Download URL with Gapps version that has been tested on your end by this way after ROM flashes and it works that will be highly appreciated.
I`ve switched back in 17.1 twice by installing Gapps without issues.
I am currently using the ROM without Gapps so I can wipe and trigger a new flash of Gapps from the recovery, but none of the versions I already tried ever showing up or complete installation.
Thank you for your time and support.

Yes, exactly I am using adb to flash the ROM first, then flash TWRP recovery via fastboot and then flashing gapps via adb from TWRP recovery again by repeating this order in every gapps version which does not take effect or return error 20 or error 70 (open gapps) and fatal error for NikApps.
If it is important I am using MacOS, but we tried from Windows ADB once without much of success.

Currently I can not remember if BitApps version or NikApps returned the error, but the error said that this version is not compatible and the flash just stopped with general error in TWRP recovery log. One of them returned the error, the other one has completed but nothing has showed up after booting to the OS.
I am in the office right now and did not get the cable but if you have suggestions on specific versions of gapps that you think are working, I will try to flash each one by following your instructions tomorrow night after work and provide you with feedback of screenshot of TWRP recovery log for every single gapps package.
If there is a version which you know that can go thru the security signing check from Lineage recovery I can try to flash it from the sdcard right away.

Currently I can not remember if BitApps version or NikApps returned the error, but the error said that this version is not compatible and the flash just stopped with general error in TWRP recovery log.

Not yet, I just ported the patch that allows for that btw.

I just want to let you know that this version worked as expected. I have no explanation but probably I did something wrong with the slots. Thanks. I will keep you posted in case of a bug found. However Gapps required TWRP, Lineage recovery does not install gapps due Signing request error.
Bugs Report
I would like to come up with a short report of what did not work with the rom for a few weeks of using.
Actually almost everything works except two main functions.
1. Wi - Fi HotSpot do not work. It shows up but when you connect from another device there is no internet connection. 4G has been established on LineageOS but do not reach the external device via Wi - Fi hot spot.
2. Google accuracy location service does not work, GPS works only when you stay outside. I do not know if it is related to GApps or Rom backend. If you run an app that requires location services will run only outside which is a quite too bad.
That's it for now. Hope it helps.

You mean that Wi-Fi hot spot issue has been fixed already in a recent build?

Gotcha. Thanks.
has anyone had any luck getting magisk 21.1 to work with this rom and twrp yet?
im going round in circles trying to root after updating. i can install magisk from twrp, but i end up in a bootloop, then installing the bootloop fix from twrp wipes magisk and breaks root.
i know 21.1 is a beta and likely doesnt support sony phones yet, but someone might have a fix.
EDIT: I have root working now. Anyone having trouble, DONT install twrp to ramdisk. just leave the lineageOS recovery in place and use fastboot on a pc to boot twrp when you need it.
I did the following:
1. fresh stock firmware via newflash
2.flash sony software binaries for a11
3. fastboot boot twrp.img
4.swap to partition b
5. power off
6. fastboot boot twrp.img (check you are booted to partition b)
7. flash lineageos 18
8.reboot select partition a and POWER OFF
9. fastboot boot twrp.img
10. check partition is a
11. flash copy partition.zip
12. flash magisk 21.1.zip
13. flash nikGapps basic for a11
14. reboot system
15. install magiskmanager 8.0.3.apk
16. reboot
17. update your apps on playstore.
18. PROFIT.

Which package is it you use?
If I flash the Gapps, Lineage can't boot into system and asks for a factory reset.
I'm following the steps exactly as they're described.
Am I missing something?
Just installed it. Was some effort, coming from SailfishX.
Had to install Sony binaries first, then get the latest TWRP (old one gave me errors, the provided one in this post as well). After that installed NikGapps (Gapps or open Gapps do not work I think). Was up till 3am
Got some problems though:
Cannot enable wifi.
Does not detect cellular network at all?
GUI stopped working error at every boot (works after clicking at away).
Settings stopped responding when I click network.
Fingerprint does not seem to be working? Do I need a specifiek Gapps version for that?
Can you tell me what the camera mod does? I do not see any difference?
Thanks for the effort this far!
Edit: I seem to be missing the firmware alltogether. Any ideas how to fix this?
LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 10, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.

RIL (calls, sms, mobile data)
Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct
Bluetooth

FAQ
Q: Does this ROM supports double tap to wake? A: No. And will not in future.
Q: Cannot add widgets to home screen. Widgets is not supported? A: Widgets is not supported in builtin launcher. Download any third-party home app (like Nova Launcher) and enjoy!
Q: Why split screen mode is not available? How to enable? A: Due to Android Go limitations, all forms of multiwindowing is not available on this edition of Android.
Q: When my app "foo" asks permission to access to notifications or to run on top of other apps, I see "This feature is disabled"... A: This is limitations of Android Go to save memory.
Q: Cannot use my sdcard as primary storage! A: This feature is unstable and excluded from ROM.
Q: Flashed this ROM but phone don't booting! A1: Boot to recovery and wipe /data, then reboot. A2: If your /data is formatted to f2fs, format it to ext4 and boot your phone.

Finally android 11 for a6000 thank you
Wow, I thought the previous version (17.1) is the last one for this device.
I am really happy I was wrong!
Thank you so much for your work acroreiser and dev_harsh1998. Also thanks to everyone who is credited!
First of all thanks to all the Devs who have kept this device still alive by providing it with those up to date roms...
Well I am using this rom for last 3 days i must say its super smooth apps are opening blazing fast, all major functions are working properly and it can be used as a daily driver for sure...
Now I encounter one bug so far its in Camera Go app the thing is when i change the storage location to SD card and start video recording than it suddenly freezes after some seconds by saying "Something went wrong " than i need to restart the app for using it again, by the way when i change the storage location back to internal than video recording is working fine so its really not bothering me that much....
There is one more thing well its not a bug its just my observation with this rom that during charging its heat up more than expected even when its charging at 90% to 100% slot which i never experience with any other roms.
All in all still its worth a shot everything's working fine, thanks to the devs again...

The problem is in the application itself. in the firmware the application is of the old version and there should be no problems with the video. But it is automatically updated to the latest version in the Playmarket and there is a problem. Remove the app update and it will work as expected.

Hey devs,
Thanks for this brand new ROM! I use this phone as a daily driver and wanted your advice on this version or the 17.1 version. Which one is likely to be maintained in the future? I understand that 17.1 is stable but will it still get more updates or security patches or should I go ahead with this 18.1 version, please?
Thank you for your help and also for keeping this phone alive in 2021.
Cheers,
S

Currently Lineage OS 18.1 is maintained.
Both 17.1 and 18.1 is based on my Go device tree (forked from @dev_harsh1998 lineage-16.0 tree) but lineage-17.1 branch is not maintained since february 2021.
I don't know is @twain55 can maintain 17.1 builds for a long time (better ask him).
Lineage OS 18.1 is pretty stable for daily usage by user reports and my experience with a6010 (I don't have a6000 and primarily maintaining a6010 with merging stable changes to a6000 tree).
Can a dirty flash be done from 17.1 ?

Updated some media blobs
Some kernel tweaks from other low ram devices (Redmi Go, Nokia 1.3)
Workaround for broken video recording in recent versions of Google Camera Go
Recent apps screen is limited to 5 apps to save memory
Killed multiuser support - Go devices should not have this. Also this feature is pointless in our ancient phones...

Wow, thank you so much for the android 11 version. It is minimalistic and smooth. Loved the rom. Also thank you devs for keeping this device alive.
Needs Undervolting.
Even the standby drain is around 600ma.
Also I've bought a new battery for this, even that cannot survive more than an hour of SOT.
Please optimised the kernel or just undervolt it a bit.
Also only one of the back speaker is working,
Hi , Dear

Read notes in OP before installing!
Installed the latest build. Thank you. Great work . Everything is working very good. Battery life is extremely good. Got 7-8 hours full HD youtube playback on 4g. Go version is working very smoothly ( previously was using android 5.0 stock )
...
I also have another device 10or.E which has similar SoC SD430. Can you tell me step by step instructions. Kernel source is available. ( I read about building but did not clearly understand various terms like vendor etc... Tried to create initial .mk files for the board but errors at luch command itself )

Hi Everyone
After some months of learning how to build my own Roms and how to edit the proprietary files of this Device i was able to build my first edited version of LineageOS 15.1 with HW Acceleration and the Camera working.
Its a slim an snappy Rom for everyone that´s looking for a monthly updated Android 8.1 Rom to keep this unique Device alive.
This first release is really basic because i deleted everything that doesn't work right.
My plans for this Rom are to keep it updated in case of Security Patches and add some Features here and there as i still learn how this Device and Android is working in general.
Also the official release of LineageOS 16 will end the development of this Rom for the reason i don't want to rival the official contributors of this Device.
Little FAQ to this Rom:
Do i need to Wipe my existing Rom even its LineageOS 15.1 based ?
Yes because i use my own Release Keys for this Rom you need to Wipe your existing one.
Is this Rom compatible with every Shield Tablet ?
Yes this Rom is working with every Shield Tablet
I have a Shield LTE Version and after flashing this Rom i cant connect my device for Data Transfer with my computer anymore.
For some Reason i still didnt found out on LineageOS 15.1 there is no Drop Down Menu for this Device to change the type of connection.
To change it go to Settings > Connected Devices > USB
I found a Bug with this Rom i didnt had on any Rom before what should i do before i post it here ?
Before you post any Bugs and Errors here make sure you installed this Rom correct as i told with a full wipe in your recovery first and if there are modifications installed like Magisk
Moduls or Xposed or you changed this Rom in any way, you should reinstall it fresh first to take a look if the issue still occurs.
If yes post a detailed report of the Error with a Logcat.txt File
Can i install and use Apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime,.. and watch content in HD again with this ROM ?
As this is a Problem with the Widevine Services and this Device itself this Rom doesn´t change anything on that. If you want to use the Netflix App for example you still have to use the liboemdecrypt modul on Magisk and its SD only
Thanks goes to:
@Steel01 and the whole LOS Team for doing all the hard work to keep this Device alive
@Artemka2008 for figuring out the OMX fix
@Triodexe for uploading his work on his Github so i could figure out how to edit the vendor files
@john_matrix for teaching me how to set up my build enviroment and being really helpful when i´m stuck with errors

Thank You for breathing new life into this great little tablet!
Thanks for keep this device alive!
Any ideas why clash of clans will not work on this ROM? Installed COC from Amazon App Store right after flashing this ROM and the game closes with no error right after it fully loads at the loading screen. Tried Lineage OS 16.0 and had the same exact issue using the google play store version with pico opengapps. I just want to use a smooth running ROM and play clash also QQ. Clash ran like trash on the stock 7.0 rom even after doing everything possible to make the tablet smoother.
Thank you very much and nice job Scavenger for keeping our tablet up and running!
Tried this ROM and was very happy to finally see one above Nougat on my shield tablet k1 that has 1080p 60 FPS videos playing smooth with no artifacts and doesn't crash. Also super smooth. Very nice, congratulations and many thanks.
However after I rebooted to recovery and flashes magisk it got stuck forever on Nvidia logo
Wiped everything again, reinstalled (ROM and gapps) and it booted without magisk. Tried flashing magisk again, same problem
I never had this issue with magisk before on this tablet (and I've tried several ROMs).
Anyone else faced this issue? Any advice?
@ogremalfeitor How do you tried to install Magisk? Refer https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
What would be the right way to install it?
@Scavenger87 Besides your LOS build we find also a recovery.img at androidfilehost.com - do we have to patch this one with the Magisk app? I never tried the LOS recovery before.

I tried many ways.
Usually with the latest magisk versions I rename the APK to ZIP and install it via TWRP (you can't do that with normal APKs but magisk one is special). This method has worked for me with other ROMs. From then on, when there are Magisk updates, I use the magisk manager app.
Meanwhile I tried dumping the boot partition from TWRP and use the manager to patch it, then flash it via fastboot. Same problem. If I then flash the unmodified boot image back, the system boots fine.
I'm now trying everything again, with the 3.5.0_9-0 version of TWRP (I had 3.4.0 installed). Also I was using aroma opengapps (costumizing what I want), I'm now going to try with pico as said in the first post. Will post back results.

No luck, same problem
Root addon from lineage os works, but fails safety net check pretty badly and does not support modules like Magisk...
@Scavenger87 do you have any advice to get Magisk working with this ROM? Are there any place logs are generated when the tablet is booting on the nvidia logo where mine is getting stuck? Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I have a question.
What should i Do with
Firmware Update : N/Stock 5.0
I have installed the Rom and the Gapps. And IT runs, on My K1

It's just there for people that might have an outdated stock firmware. If it worked for you without it, you don't need it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Maybe we have to patch boot.img from NVidia Stock Recovery 5.2 and flash this one?

This is a separate blob update. What for do we need this?

That's not it. The boot.img is unique to every ROM. It contains the kernel and the initial ramdisk (initrd, if you're interested in details search for that and there are a lot of interesting articles explaining the boot process of Linux and derivates like Android).
I know magisk modifies the initrd to sort of "inject" itself during that early boot process, but it doesn't make the system hang with other ROMs, hence before assuming it's a bug in magisk I'd like to know if anyone has any idea or if the ROM is missing anything that could cause this?

I believe it has to do with outdated bootloaders, which will be the case for people who never used recent stock firmwares, and it's there should you have problems (but don't confuse bootloader with boot partition or boot.img that I mentioned in another post). I think the script in the Zip detects it when you flash in twrp and gives an error if necessary but please correct me if I'm wrong.
I have try to installed the Firmware Update : N/Stock 5.0 in TRWP. It doesnt work. A Error Shows and it cant installed.
Well meanwhile I went on and started using this ROM without magisk. Started to have crashes here and there not long after, like most (if not all) ROMs for my tablet above android 7... until the video started to get corrupted in YouTube Vanced too which is a deal breaker for me.
Guess this is not the one ROM to solve my problems with this tablet after all, but still it's a great effort. Hope others enjoy it and thanks to the dev for sharing.
Hi everyone after a little vacation and some testing out of your reported issues this is what i found out so far:

Any ideas why clash of clans will not work on this ROM? Installed COC from Amazon App Store right after flashing this ROM and the game closes with no error right after it fully loads at the loading screen. Tried Lineage OS 16.0 and had the same exact issue using the google play store version with pico opengapps. I just want to use a smooth running ROM and play clash also QQ. Clash ran like trash on the stock 7.0 rom even after doing everything possible to make the tablet smoother.

I installed that game on a Tablet with LOS 14.1 and LOS 15.1 and in both cases the Game crashes because it run out of memory. I did a quick test on my Rom with adding ro.config.low_ram=true to the build.prop which activate the Go Version of Android and decreased the usage of Ram this way .
The Game runs but it started to get really sluggish after around 30 seconds.
It seems this Game just needs more than the 2GB Ram this device can offer.

Tried this ROM and was very happy to finally see one above Nougat on my shield tablet k1 that has 1080p 60 FPS videos playing smooth with no artifacts and doesn't crash. Also super smooth. Very nice, congratulations and many thanks.
However after I rebooted to recovery and flashes magisk it got stuck forever on Nvidia logo
Wiped everything again, reinstalled (ROM and gapps) and it booted without magisk. Tried flashing magisk again, same problem

After trying to flash many Versions of Magisk starting by 21.4 over 22.0 and the actual 23.0 via the TWRP Recovery Version (9.5.0_9-0) i mentioned in the Start Thread and trying to flash it with the Magisk App i also wasnt able to install Sucessfully Magisk without running into a Bootlop which is really a Bummer.
I dont know why this happends and i check my Kernel Logs i pulled with TWRP but for the moment we have to use the SU Addon by LOS.
Maybe it has something to do with that my build is signed with a personal key i will check that out.

Thats just the Blob File that needs to be flashed when the Bootloader isnt updated to the latest Version (4.00.2016.04)

On some rare ocassions you get those same green artefacts on videos like you get with the LOS 16.0 Rom but at least in my case it happends once a week or so and it seems it have something to do with memory managment again.
My guess is that the tegra drivers arent working really well with Android Versions above Nougat (7.0) and this leads to a memory leak but like i said its just a guess by me maybe @Steel01 can say more about that.
I try to optimize the memory management in the future builds if possible.
Hi Everybody
I think its time to give you a little update of my work on this build
After i got a good example of the problems with the ram management of this device i was looking for a solution last few days and i began testing with the Android Go Settings as i mentioned in the last Thread.
With that settings i was able to start that Game mentioned by @Hworangg and i even was able to play it a bit as you can see on one of the added Screenshots below. But you could also see this Game is a real RAM Hog with needing up to 484MB at the last session i played but it is kinda playable you just have to stay in that Game and turn off every notification as it might crashes otherwise. Speaking of crashes while the GO Settings really helping on reduce the usage of Ram by the System itself and let the device take more Memory Pressure it also leads to freezes where you often have to Hard Reset the Tablet because it seems to not close the Main App when its in a Out of Memory Situation. This is something i have to invest more time and research even after i played a lot with the Dalvik VM Settings.
I also found out that my Personal Key Signature is the reason that the install of Magisk is leading to a Bootloop. Here i also have to figure out why this is happen and if its even possible to install Magisk on a Signed Custom Rom as you change out the BOOT.img on this Device to achieve that and it seems the Magisk installer isnt able to resign the File with my Key.
TLDR:
I was able to set up my Build to use the optimized Android GO Settings to withstand more Memory Pressure so that Games like COC and heavy Browsing Sessions with lots of Tabs and Sites with a lot of Pictures doesn't crash that soon but it lead in both cases to a freeze of the whole Device.
The Magisk installer does not work when i sign my build with my own key.
For this Reason i decided to release a another Build for you to test with this Settings as a Nightly Release before i release my next Regular Build when the next Security Patch is out
You find it here : Nightly Build and i´m curious about your opinion.
Flashed the nightly onto a freshly wiped K1 along with opengapps and Magisk 23 using patched boot, no problems there. Video playback - Netflix played about as well as it could with level 3 widevine, with Jellyfin no obvious visual problems streaming 1080p over lan. Got hard freezes when running memory heavy apps (firefox, manga reader, 3d unity games) but it was expected.
Ended up downgrading back to factory stock Lollipop as the memory management is best there, even better than stock Nougat. But will keep an eye on your builds because the K1 could still be a great little tablet if the memory issues in newer versions of Android was fixed. Thank you for your hard work
