[UNOFFICIAL][11] LineageOS 18.1 w/ microG patch for Pixel 4a (sunfish) (20210610)

Introduction
This is my personal build of LineageOS 18.1 for Pixel 4a with the microG patches applied. If you do not want / need to use microG, it may be a better idea to use the official build available here: https://download.lineageos.org/sunfish. This build is exactly the same as the official build except for the microG patch.
For discussion about the official build, please use the other thread instead: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-official-sunfish-lineageos-18-1.4255751/
Installation
Before installation, make sure your phone is updated to Android 11 firmware on both of the slots.
Whether you are installing the ROM for the first time or updating the ROM, please make sure you reboot to recovery again after `adb sideload`-ing the ROM before installing add-ons such as Magisk and GAPPS.
1. Download `boot-XXXX.img` (this contains the recovery needed for initial flashing)
2. Download `lineage-18.1-XXXX-UNOFFICIAL-petercxy-sunfish.zip`
3. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode
4. Run `fastboot flash boot boot-XXXX.img` from your PC
5. Reboot your phone into recovery mode (`fastboot reboot`, then press volume up immediately)
6. Erase data
7. Select Apply Update -> Apply Update from ADB
8. Run `adb sideload lineage-18.1-XXXX-UNOFFICIAL-petercxy-sunfish.zip` and wait for installation to finish
9. If you do not need to install any add-ons (e.g. Magisk or GAPPS), then just reboot into system
10. Otherwise, if you do need to install add-ons, reboot into recovery again (this puts your phone into the recovery of the newly-installed system), then install the add-ons using sideload. If you want to use GAPPS, they must be installed here before you boot into system for the first time (this doesn't apply to microG).
11. Enjoy
Updating
1. Download the newly released zip and reboot your phone into recovery
2. Select Apply Update -> Apply Update from ADB
3. Run `adb sideload lineage-18.1-XXXX-UNOFFICIAL-petercxy-sunfish.zip` and wait for installation to finish
4. If you did not have any add-ons installed before update (e.g. Magisk or GAPPS), then just reboot into system
5. Otherwise, if you did, you need to reboot into recovery again at this point before rebooting to system and re-flash every single one of the add-ons you had before. If you do not re-flash them before rebooting to the new system, the boot will fail and your phone will switch back to the old system automatically.
6. Reboot and enjoy.
Note: You don't need to update official firmware manually while LineageOS is installed by flashing latest official factory images. This LineageOS build now ships with latest official firmware updates which are tested to work with the ROM. Please avoid flashing the firmware manually while LineageOS is installed to avoid unnecessary issues.
Known Issues
- Use Magisk v21.4 or later if you want Magisk
- Some applications require microG to be installed in system partition to function, in which case you can consider using the Magisk microG module
- The eSIM manager only works with either GAPPS or microG installed. Without them, you can use eSIM, but you will not be able to add / remove / rename / disable your eSIM. The eSIM manager will also crash once or twice on first boot without GAPPS or microG, but after that it won't crash anymore (the system automatically disables it until you install microG or GMS)
- Disabling / Enabling eSIM may hang even with GAPPS or microG. However, rebooting normally fixes the issue and makes your action effective.
- I provide no guarantee for SafetyNet status or compatibility with any app that requires SafetyNet. Google has been tightening its SafetyNet verification and there is really not much we can do about it, and frankly most apps that require SafetyNet should not have done so in the first place. If you need SafetyNet, you are on your own.
Downloads
Note: This build has compatibility issues with MindTheGapps (just like the recent LineageOS weekly builds). It will be fixed in newer official weekly builds, but since this build is for microG users, I am not going to upload a new microG-patched build just to work around a GAPPS compatibility issue.
20210610: June 05 security update; sorry for the delay, LineageOS had some issues while merging this month's ASB.
This update also fixed some long-standing bugs, such as the initial crash dialog of the eSIM manager (when GAPPS or microG is not installed), and the extraneous battery percentage option in settings -> battery. Read the LineageOS changelog for the full update.

Thanks: DirtyUnicorn sunfish contributors, SuperiorOS sunfish contributors, LineageOS coral contributors and the LineagOS community.

After some trial and error I got it up and running. After booting the ROM I returned to recovery, factory reset then side loaded Razorloves micro gapps.
Thanks for the build

Nice! Appreciate the work you've done on the trees!
@PeterCxy what vendor do you use? Can I clone it? Or should I extract myself?

Gave this a shot, everything seemed to loadup fine. Wasn't able to get call screen to show up tho, I flashed razorloves gapps, anything to do to get that to work?

I pushed the vendor blobs I extracted on my GitHub at https://github.com/PeterCxy/android_vendor_google_sunfish, but you can also extract it yourself as I have also pushed my full sunfish-proprietary-files{,-vendor}.txt

This is amazing, thanks @PeterCxy
Where the instructions state to be on A11 on both slots does that mean I can do a flash-all with the latest A11 factory image? Currently on LOS 17

Unfortunately I have zero clue about this, and I don't live somewhere Call Screening is supported in the first place. This would probably need to be figured out by someone other than me :/

Yes you can, but that flash-all script only flashes it on one slot, so to guarantee you have A11 on both slots you'd still need to manually switch the slot and execute that script a second time. The reason why you need A11 on both slots is that the recovery installs the new ROM to the inactive slot, so if the inactive slot is not also on A11, the ROM will probably not boot properly.

You could just sideload the ota after booting the factory image as well.[/QUOTE]

10 hours so far and everything is smooth, great ROM, but I've noticed the battery consumption is less on SuperiorOS, need couple of days to confirm.

Considering call screen doesn't work on other Lineage pixel ROMs, this wouldn"t be any different.

Thank you very much @PeterCxy
I flash-all latest december 11 images and --set-active= slot to other partition and re flashed again. Following the instructions I now have LOS18 with micro-g running. Awesome! I would be interested in any builds with micro-g patches even when/if sunfish goes official LOS

Biometric/fingerprint unlock is not available in any apps like Bitwarden, wirex etc. Has this feature been removed in A11?
I have a working fingerprint and pattern unlock working on the phone, just no options in any usual apps

Do you have Play Services on it? I assume they use the Biometric API for that feature. And I assume that requires Play Services. Or a locked bootloader, some Trust Zone thing... basically it probably isn't designed to work on a ROM that doesn't have some integrity check or secure thingy access.

I don't use play services, but biometric unlock like autofill I think doesn't rely on play services, its part of AOSP? Both my Tab S5e and previous pixel 4a builds were LOS17 with no google services or microg installed and I have Biometric support in all usual apps

hmmm it's also not available in my Keepass2Android. I'll look into this later -- I don't think fingerprint support is part of Play Services.

It might be an issue with the LineageOS source tree when I last synchronized. I checked some of my other devices with LOS built on the same date and they all don't have the fingerprint option available in apps.

I came from this build, https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lineage-18-android-11-for-pixel-4a-sunfish.4199889/
And there it worked fine
I first installed with MicroG, then went with Gapps, and neither work

[GUIDE] OOS 10.3.8 degoogled, debloated + MigroG

I have successfully degoogled and debloated the latest OOS (atm 10.3.8) and have a working microg setup using nanodroid package. Battery life is nice. 45hrs with 10,5hrs SOT on the first go! Not any unwanted background data moving, success I'd say! So for anyone interested, here are roughly the steps I took.
I couldn't deodex the services.jar with VdexExtractor so I used FakeGapps from Edxposed. Works!
In following guide we will first get a factory state OOS with twrp and root WITHOUT internet. Then we uninstall system app 'android setup', allow internet, get Edxposed working and FakeGapps installed. Then we install Nanodroid package from twrp to get a working microg and setup it and debloat. + Disable trackers using App Manager from F-droid repositories or github. Get it ready for sideloading or use adb. Support the developer!
General guide (everything gets erased):
1. Pure factory installment using MSM tool for 10.3.8 from Oneplus 6 unbrick tools. (XDA forum)
2. The phone starts, go through the initial setup bypassing everything you can. DON'T SETUP ANY WIFI!
3. Immediately switch off mobile data from quick settings, just in case. We dont want android setup to update any apps.
4. Enable unlocking the phone, reboot to bootloader
5. Unlock the bootloader (fastboot oem unlock)
6. Do parts 2 and 3 again (choose Oneplus slate font at this time if you ever want it to work)
7. Enable USB debugging, connect to computer, check 'adb devices' to get the window to allow the computer to appear. (The daemon needs to be running)
This all was to get the phone into pure factory state without automated changes, bootloader unlocked and adb working.
8. Install twrp and magisk. Boot up the phone.
9. Remember! No internet connections yet! Uninstall the system app 'Android Setup'. I used sideloaded AppManager for that. You'll know when you have uninstalled the correct app when the notification of android setup disappears.
10. Reboot
11. Now you can connect to internet.
12. In magisk, install Riru core, (mandatory reboot here!) and Riru Edxposed (2nd reboot)
13. In Edxposed, install FakeGapps and activate it. Reboot.
13. Now you can connect to internet.
This was all done to setup the phone for Nanodroid package and get safely to internet without unwanted updates.
14. Download a nanodroid package from github. I used just the microg version. Flash it from twrp. It should debloat some necessary google stuff, install aurorastore and aurora services and straight up working microg.
15. Check if microg is working and do registrations and enable cloud and location stuff. Reboot.
16. Install any app that uses google cloud service for push notifications and check from microg settings that it shows in the list. Don't continue installing any such apps until it does. Reboot or troubleshoot if necessary with microg related info.
17. Back up current setup from twrp for fallback.
18. Debloat to your heart content, except only disable and force stop the play store. In my case the app is still the official one. Don't use.
19. From AppManager, run disable all trackers, including system apps from 1-click ops.
There! Use some time, and if everything is to your liking, make a backup. Remember to disable trackers from every app you install after you have configured it.
Sidenote: Aurora store did not work when installed systemlessly, but worked fine as a user app

Reserved, just in case

How To Install Magisk On Poco X3 NFC ?

I've unlocked bootloaders, installed Magisk and installed plenty of custom ROMs on different phones,
but this Poco X3 NFC has been just a bit 'annoying' from the beginning (ie. I had to try many different ways * before ability to 'register' for unlocking the bootloader, and then had to wait 7-days to actually do that )
Now, I just want to know how to get Magisk working ?
Currently I'm on MiUI ROM (but I will install AICP or CrDroid, in a few days),
and trying to install Magisk on this now.
I've got TWRP installed but Magisk doesn't have flashable .ZIPs,
because Magisk has moved to the .APK manager now.
So, in Magisk Manager, it asks me to patch a file, but which file would this be ?
How to get Magisk v23 installed on this Android 11-based MiUI ROM ?
Thanks.
*
I had to:
- register a Xiaomi account (this must be logged on the phone)
- put in a SIM card, with data activated (this must be enabled, to get the Xiaomi account working)
- send a SMS, to verify the number (Xiaomi checks/logs/records multiple levels of my identity)
- download a Xiaomi tool to unlock the bootloader (Xiaomi's tool did not work & I had to find one, from Github (and XDA) )
I have unlocked bootloaders on Samsung, Motorola, Oneplus, Asus … and Xiaomi is the most annoying, intrusive and cumbersome unlocking.

You just have to rename magisk.apk to magisk.zip and flash it via TWRP without wiping cache

Moreover, latest TWRP build from brigudav can do it for you -- look at "Advanced" options...

Very good.
Yes, thank you.
I tried this and it was easy,
ie. to go into TWRP (by Brigudav) --> Advanced Options --> Install Magisk
Simple and effective.
My next issue then, was finding out,
that in TWRP, if I wanted to install TWRP.img (in phone's storage) ,
all files/folders in SDCARD were "encrypted" but I don't have lockscreen or PIN pattern turned on.
What causes this 'encryption' ?

Same here, it's the default on recent Android systems, it seems -- and can also be checked by entering the following in a terminal:
$ getprop | grep encrypt

You need to reset to factory setings in TWRP after removing any types of pin, or pattern lock.

headphone jack does not work (enable use alternative way to detect headsets in phh settings)
audio volume might be low on some devices install the dsp audio module and
DO NOT let the phone die of battery you will not be able to boot and it will be hard to get back into the system (workaround- in magisk install acca https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/acc and install this apk after installing https://github.com/MatteCarra/AccA then set profile to default (this will shut down the phone at 5% hence removing the risk of your phone not booting after hitting 0%

Links
Rom- Download
Stock Samsung kernel source.
Install-
1.Use twrp 3.5.1 (others did not work for me good luck in testing)
2 Unpack the "xz" archive and put the .img file onto the sd card or internal (if you dont have a sd card do step 3 then transfer the img file to your phone)
3. In TWRP head to factory reset format type yes and hit enter
4. Flash the img file (as system obviously)
5. flash eureka oneui kernel (DONT FLASH THE NON ONEUI ONE ONLY FLASH ONEUI EUREKA KERNEL)
6. flash magisk (it is optional but for best performance you should) (use 21.0 for android 12)

if there is any working gcam mod link it so i can test it
gcam go is way way better than the stock camera with hdr night mode portrait and soon filters

Increase performance without any battery impact or (by feravolt and gloeysik)
Step 1
- Install FDE AI Magisk Module to make it a system app, thus it will work better and removes all kernel locks from OEMs (I'm looking at you, Samsung) https://github.com/feravolt/FDE.AI-docs/releases/download/12.4.1m/FDE.AI-as-system-app.MAGISK.zip
- Update FDE AI to the latest version by downloading the latest APK here, since the fde ai magisk module will only install fde ai 12.4.1, not the latest version: https://github.com/feravolt/FDE.AI-docs/releases
- Move to the bottom of the screen and select AI Chat, then type /advancedai (no space, no uppercase letters). This will going to make the AI more effective, without you having to do anything.
- Go to the settings tab and use the AUTO settings for FDE AI.
