not sure if it's possible on angler, but I learned that "one does not simply downgrade the bootloader" (tm) on shamu the hard way. fortunately I found Motorola unbrick tool and managed to recover and make my new paperweight into phone again, but it wasn't pretty. so it stuck well in my head for all my future phones to come to never try to downgrade the bootloader itself.

but what I can (always) advise though - format data partition (not wipe !) right after TWRP installation. it avoids quite a lot of strange and ugly problems down the road when starting flashing ROMs.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Ryo Luméa:
With the last nightly when I use the jack, my Nexus restarts. When I plug it reboot.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] d1n0x:
You can downgrade the bootloader on angler without problems. I've done it when I went back to Marshmallow from Nougat in the early days and from Oreo back to Nougat.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] StrangeSavage:
good to know, thank you for the info. Huawei might just be better at this than Motorola :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Nexus4Owner1:
Thanks for the info. I just successfully downgraded radio and bootloader and LOS 14.1 launched as expected. Thank you guys!

And Badger: It's okay, I didn't feel disrespected. :)

sound volume issue in latest nightly build

Hi there.

I just installed the latest nightly build last night (14.1-20170918-NIGHTLY-angler) and all went well, but it appears to have introduced a strange issue related to the volume settings:

1 - Every time the device boots, regardless of the volume settings previously, the device boots on vibrate only (no sounds)

2 - If I set the volume high, then put on Do Not Disturb for a set time period, when DND ends, it switches to vibrate only (no sounds) rather than the previous volume setting

3 - If I set the volume high, then put on Do Not Disturb for an indefinite time period ("until you turn this off) when I manually switch off DND, it switches to vibrate only (no sounds) rather than the previous volume setting

4 - I have also noticed that the device seems to randomly switch to "vibrate only" independently of reboots/DND settings. I just saw it happen as I was using the phone, twice.

I don't update frequently - only about once per month to get the latest security updates, so I don't know when this issue was introduced - apologies if it's been reported already.

FWIW I also updated my Nexus 9 WiFi tablet at the same time last night to the latest LineageOS build, and it's definitely doing the same things in numbers 1, 2, 3 and above. Neither device ever did this until now.

This is not a very serious issue on the tablet but on the phone this could lead to missed calls and notifications if the device is muting itself apparently randomly - or if DND is not restoring the desired volume level once set time periods end.

Is this something others have observed? Any advice?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] razorloves:
the volume/DND setting bug will be fixed in the next nightly. https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/REGRESSION-1142
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Hubird:
I updated my 6P to the latest official Oreo version, flashed the latest official TWRP, wiped my device and tried to install LineageOS and like Nexus4Owner1 it would not boot past the Google logo, tried several times.

Reverted to the latest Nougat factory image and it worked fine (I tried several times, same results).

Also, separate problem:

lineage-14.1-20170918-nightly-angler-signed.zip

Can't install without a SIM present, upon pressing skip it says "Setup Wizard has stopped".

The only way I have found to get around this is to insert a sim.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] razorloves:
yeah, there's a bug in lineage rom on all devices that's causing setupwizard to crash if there's no sim installed. We are looking into it.

In the meantime you can use 20170911 build if you have to do a clean install with no sim card. It will work fine. Then you can update to newer builds no problem.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Hubird:
Good to know that it's being looked into..

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] razorloves:
New changelog post on our site. https://www.lineageos.org/Changelog-14/
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] razorloves:
The setupwizard bug mentioned in previous posts has been fixed. :good:

It did not get merged in before today's new build was made, so the fix will be in next week's new build.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Makkos26:
Hy guys!

Can you help me? Is there any way to hide the root hashtag icon from the statusbar? I have fresly flashed everything today, but couldn't find any way to hide it... :/

Thanks for your help in advance! :) (ps. I have no toggle for it in the settings->statusbar->system icons)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] d1n0x:
This is not possible, unless you use a LOS based ROM which supports toggling the icon or you use another root solution like Magisk or SuperSU.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] razorloves:
Geez, I almost forgot the 6p has an AMOLED display.

I enabled the new burnin protection feature mentioned in the changelog post. :good:

It will be in the next nightly.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] d1n0x:
can this somehow be disabled? i find it aesthetically unpleasant and don't think it's necessary.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] razorloves:
wat? lol. i don't know what you're talkin about, but the burnin protection has a setting that's off by default.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Ricokowalski:
hey guys, I have a problem. Back in few months ago, I noticed that as long as my phone is in my pocket, the press of power button and right finger pushing the pinger print won't open it's screen although I can feel that two times of vibration which usually means unlocking with a correct fingerprint.

However , recently I noticed that this no longer works. When the phone is in the pocket, a touch of fingerprinter will unlock its screen. Because I usually put my phone in the pocket , this turned out that almost every time I take out my phone, its screen has been on for I don't know how long time. Is there any settings that I can toggle to make it not turn on its screen while in the pocket?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] d1n0x:
Isn't this what AOSPA has had since its Nougat release, where the status bar icons shift positions slightly every minute?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] razorloves:
i haven't looked at their implementation of it so i don't know.

the 'shift' of all items in nav and status bar in our implementation is only a couple pixels, so it would be hard to notice, unless you're looking for it.

but the point is it helps prevent burnin. if you dont care about that and want burnin, you can leave the burnin protection off. :D
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] d1n0x:
I see. On AOSPA it is quite noticable, for example when the clock in the top right shifts into a weird position, IMO it just makes the status bar look weird. But as you said, it has a toggle to turn it off? If I read that correctly.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] razorloves:
yes, and the default setting is off
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] AndyYan:
It IS possible - there's an app named System UI Tuner in Play Store that allows turning on/off icons that are not present in the built-in tuners, including SU.

Lineage kernel

Hi

I just need some help understanding some kernel stuff.

I'm familiar with governors and kernel adiutor (and logs etc). I've been having problems with my car's Bluetooth ever since nougat (very frustrating) where the audio would sound like it was skipping/stuttering or fighting against itself.

Through a process of trial and error (including buying another phone which encountered the same problem) I worked out that it was not a specific rom but probably something kernel related and I suspected that it was governor related too.

I'vr had the least amount of skipping only every two minutes) on lineage using stock settings but yesterday I tried all the governors available on this rom. The worst was performance (every second or two) and the others were not great but one seemed to work without any problems... User space. I couldn't get specific info about how user space works as a governor but I was wondering if you could explain to me why that kernel worked when the others didn't? (Because I don't just want a solution - I would like to understand what's going on)

Any help you can give me would be much appreciated

It is not possible to flash the factory image in TWRP. You must extract it and flash it via fastboot.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] phalkon30:
The 6p will not get treble. So... It will be supported as long as a developer wants to support it. Asking for an ETA usually causes developers to drop a device faster ;)

If a device has treble, theoretically it will be supported for a long time, but time will tell. Read this, it will answer all your questions

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DerailQuestion:
I'm having some troubles post installation (I've made a similar post elsewhere as this is applying to Lineage OS and Pure Nexus). My phone seems to get stuck at the Google logo.

After having issues installing Pure Nexus, I thought to try Lineage OS. Prior to installation I wiped my phone completely through TWRP (into advanced and ticked everything), then I flashed Lineage OS, Open Gapps and it all seemed to go fine.

However after a reboot, I just get stuck on the Google logo. I waited as long as 20 minutes to no avail. Hard powering off and turning on again yields the same results.

Any thoughts? Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] razorloves:
take a look at first post. sounds like you have wrong vendor, bootloader, and radio img.

Also make sure you have newest twrp.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DerailQuestion:
Ah, I had looked over that but I misinterpreted it I think. I thought it was just optionally there for some other purpose and the main ZIP handles everything anyway. I'll give those other files a shot, I'm coming from Android 8, so I think you're probably right.

Cheers for your time :)

Here are the results of the survey we did a couple months ago.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lawlrus:
Were you on 8.0? Are you using the right vendor if you were on 8.0?

Edit: guess I wasn't on the last page to see it was answered, but yeah. You can't use an 8.0 vendor with 7.1.2 and vice versa, it won't boot
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] razorloves:
talking about Snap that comes with the rom, or Google Camera that comes with gapps?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Nexus4Owner1:
My device also stuck at boot logo after a sudden shutdown caused by an empty battery. Actually the status said about 10% shortly before. One fact that came to my mind:

It was on October 30, one day after time changed back to winter time (minus one hour). Could this be the reason (system time mismatch or something?). Some details:

LOS 14.1 from 20170918, no root, no GApps, device encrypted.

Boots up till unlock pattern, after typing it in, boot animation shows forever (waited several hours). Devices gets very warm (high CPU load?). Is it possible that a certain boot critical file was damaged by the sudden shutdown? If so, what files should I check / repair?

Tried to update to lineage-14.1-20171030-nightly-angler-signed.zip via TWRP 3.1.1-0 with no success.

I'm grateful for any advice.

Just installed this with the latest nightly, does Netflix show up on any ones Play store? I have the latest nightly on my Nexus 7 (2013) and Netflix seems to show up on there. Weird.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NingaR:
please do :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Face_Plant:
Does your device show up as "uncertified" in the Play Store? Go to settings, then scroll all the way down to check.

If so, then that's probably why. Google hides certain apps from devices that aren't 100% stock to protect the app developer(s) from people using their root powers to get paid features for free.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] gopinator:
It does show up uncertified. That's interesting. I did a clean install last night on both my 6p and Nexus 7 (2013), wiped everything with twrp, no root applications were flashed. But the Nexus 7 shows up as certified but the 6p doesn't. Why is that?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hanschke:
weekend and hope playtime soon ;)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Face_Plant:
I couldn't tell ya. My 6P passes a SafetyNet test, but still shows up as uncertified in the Play Store. Even after a full clean flash with no root, no custom kernel, etc I still show up as uncertified...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] gopinator:
So weird :p. I ended up just flashing Magisk and clearing the cache/data to the playstore now it works. Hopefully there is a fix to this. Not everyone wants root.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] razorloves:
building right now. should be ready in about an hour :D

The 6p lineage rom can't pass safetynet by itself, unless you relocked your bootloader, so you had to have flashed something to pass it.

Devices that have come out in the last 2 or 3 years have a verified boot state check that is done in the kernel. If bootloader is unlocked, safetynet fails.

Custom kernels, like franco, elemental, and the others, use a controversial kernel hack to hide that boot state check. More info here.

See my explanation above. If you want to pass safetynet with this rom, you have to flash custom kernel or use magisk.

If you don't want to mess with custom kernels or magisk, and just want netflix, you can just download the apk from apkmirror. It will work fine. I think most people do that.

Also, the reason netflix doesn't show up in playstore is explained here.

Your nexus 7 is old and doesn't do the verified boot state check. So lineage rom on that device will pass safetynet and will show netflix in the play store.

INSTRUCTIONS:

flash vendor, radio, bootloader img's

wipe system & data & cache

flash rom & gapps & magisk (gapps & magisk are optional)

Important note:

Don't use opengapps, unless you want a broken camera. lol. Use beansgapps I linked above.

works fine if you dont need xposed ;) I dont why without clear cache it dont boot but I restore the titanium backup now.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] enginmanap:

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] razorloves:
there is no xposed for oreo, and my instructions say to wipe cache, so ...

no, that bug doesn't exist on this rom.

it means you screwed up. lol.

follow the steps.

use the files i linked.

maybe you got an error while flashing and didn't see it.

make sure you're using newest fastboot tool from google (link here)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] enginmanap:
Thanks for the heads up, I did not realize there was an newer fastboot. Sadly it did not fix the issue.

I have cleaned data, system, and cache. Flashed bootloader, radio and vendor using the latest fastboot. Than using twrp 3.1.1-0 flashed the given rom. when I boot up, it says no simcard. Just to make sure I have just flashed the latest 14.1 (+ bootloader + radio + vendor at first page) and sim works normally.

I am up for suggestions.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Keithn:
I had the sim issue. I downloaded and flashed the google factory images, then did twrp, wipe, lineage and it seems to be okay now.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] enginmanap:
Thanks for the suggestion, yes it did work. I am guessing vendor+radio+bootloader is not enough, because I checked sha1sums and they are identical.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Keithn:
I saw the mention of it earlier and I tried to use the new one but it was probably just using the one in my system path still (just updated that now). Either way using the factory images fixed it even before I updated the one in my system path.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] semdoc:
Right.. The proper solution for No Sim card issue...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Apoena:
I'm also having the no sim card issue. This is the sequence of what I have done:

[Edit: I started from lineage-14.1-20171106-nightly, with the root option, working flawlessly]

1st try:

flashed vendor/radio/bootloader using fastboot (fresh download of sdk plataform tools), immediately booted from recovery (TWRP 3.1.1), wiped system + data + cache + dalvik, flashed new rom, rebooted system ==> no sim detected

2nd try:

(figured vendor/radio/bootloader were already flashed the right version), immediately booted from recovery (TWRP 3.1.1), wiped system + data + cache + dalvik, flashed new rom + gapps, wiped cache/dalvik, rebooted system ==> no sim detected

3rd try:

figured I'd have to install google factory images, so installed latest version (170623.011), booted new stock oreo, works perfect. Boot into bootloader, flash twrp, go into recovery, wiped system + data + cache + dalvik, flashed new rom + gapps, wiped cahce/dalvik, rebooted system ==> no sim detected

Since the problem is usually on the user side, can anyone spot where I might be doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Where did the APN settings run off to? On sprint, used to have issues on 14.1 and had to reset APN all the time when I lost 4g, now on an entirely different phone and the 15 nightly posted using the radio, vendor etc posted and I lost LTE again today. But APN settings aren't there anymore. What causes the APN settings to get out of wack, and how can I at least work around it without having to change ROMs?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] razorloves:
Sorry about the kinks with the oreo rom... i don't know what's going on with the "no sim" problem. Several people I know are using the builds with no issue. The angler builds have been fine for 2 months now.

Can someone with the "no sim" issue get me logs so I can see what's causing it?

You can use this app to get logs, if you have root. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tortel.syslog

If you don't have root, you can get logs using your pc https://wiki.lineageos.org/logcat.html#with-a-computer

thanks :good:

EDIT: If anyone else runs into the no sim issue after flashing the oreo rom i posted, please try the following.

Boot into twrp and open the file manager and click on sdcard, then click on Android, then click on the "check" icon in the bottom right, then select delete. Then reboot and see if still have the "no sim" issue. thanks
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hanschke:
i love this build. do you plan updates daily or few days? The only thing is that the google apk crashed every few seconds :( and I cannot deinstall it I got a reboot from my phone.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] razorloves:
You have app crashing every few seconds and having random reboots, but you love the build? Lol.

Anyways, since you haven't provided logs, I'll guess your issues are from you restoring with titanium backup.

Whichever app is crashing on you, just go to settings and clear data on that app then reboot. If crashes continue, disable app.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hanschke:
no random reboot. only if I try to deinstall the google apk that crashed.

No need for apologies! I'm glad to help work out the kinks.

I took a few logs from my clean installations. Do I send them to you in private? post here? I'm not sure what the protocol is and/or if the logs have any sensitive information I shouldn't post here.

I also tried removing the Android folder after finishing the clean installs, before booting for the 1st time. Still with the "no simcard" issue... :(
