So the problem seems to be within Android. As .flac and .ogg share the same meta data format, most probably you will have the same malfunction with .flac files. You might check this. As my device with original Android handles .flac files more or less well (of course without composer, because it's Google...), you probably found an OS bug you should report to the developers. Unfortunately I have no spare device to test Lineage OS, but maybe others in this forum can help with additional experience reports.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nexonian:
Nope, .flac files work fine, .mp3 aswell, only .ogg tags aren't read.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ahkah:
Just checked this file with no problems (original Google OS), shows both "artist" and "title".
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nexonian:
This combination, in this order, did the trick... Odd, that album in question has been stored on my device for ages....:rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ahkah:
All's well that ends well.

In fact it's not that odd. Maybe you once had an OS version that failed reading metadata from that file. Without being able to read meta data the file will nevertheless be added to Android's data base, in this case using the directory name as album name and file name as title. As long as the database is not deleted and rebuilt, Android has no reason to repeat the analysis of already scanned files.

Note that the "force rescan" utility I normally use (has become seldom since Android 6) has a dedicated button for quick access to "MEDIA STORAGE", so it's a common problem.

Hello all,

I am keen to get hold of build 14.1 10.01.2018 - I believe that translate too 10th jan 2018

I am working with a team of developers building an Artifical Pancreas that have made an app that can connect to the very temperamental Bluetooth connection of my pump.

https://github.com/jotomo/ruffy

LineageOS has a patch that allows us to achieve this but none of the most recent builds work for me, another Developer who is running 14.1 10.01.2018 on their nexus 5 says its working fine - hence I am keen to get this build and test.

Any idea where I can access older builds? Mr Google has not been very helpful
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TKruzze:
I just checked my off-site archive backup and found the January 17 build. If you can't find a copy of the January 10 build and you'd like to try this one, let me know and I'll make available for you to download.

Here you go: [removed]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tvfan1:
Finally after running on stock since day 1, I've decided to move to the custom world. I've followed the process and now I'm using it with the latest build.

the good news: the build is pretty solid and responsive (although I still have some lags like I had with the stock rom which was the reason for me to switch in the first place)

the not so good news: battery drains like crazy, I have gone through 4 full charging cycles but I can hardly get 1.5 hours SOT (I had close to 2Hrs SOT with stock). I am a "light" user so mostly browsing, Twitter etc., Navigation with Maps/Waze is out of question as it drops 1% every 2-3 min. Is this a normal behavior on this rom? Any way to improve it w/o sacrificing performance?

I'm considering switching back to stock to try and get the lost 30 min..

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drac0:
Before you quit try installing blu_sorcery custom kernel and enjoy your new 4-5hrs SOT ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tvfan1:
Really???? Havne't heard of it? how does it affect the performance?

How do I flash it? will it erase any of my data?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drac0:
You'll get much better SOT than stock kernel and you can turn on blu_spark's fastlane performance mode under the CPU options on Kernel Adiutor manager, but at the expense of battery life. Just flash within TWRP as any other zip file. You won't lose any of your data, but if you want to go back to stock kernel you'll have to dirty flash your NIGHTLY again. Cheers.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tvfan1:
Thanks Man, Much appreciated

will I have to tinker with it or just use the default settings? I'm not rooted BTW and running on 14.1

And last, how is it compared to FC or ElementalX?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drac0:
No tinkering whatsoever, blu is already configured to give you all the best on default. You can always enable fastlane mode if you feel its slow. If you want to configure kernel settings you'll have to root your device in order to use Kernel Adiutor manager, but its not needed for kernel to function properly. I won't compare it to others but its one of the best, I'm using it like forever. You won't regret it. :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tvfan1:
you're THE MAN, going to flash now!

just put it on Twrp , delete cache+dalvik and flash?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drac0:
Yes, like any other zip. Just make sure to always flash your kernel last. Lets not clutter the LOS tread anymore. Cheers.

I have Google lens. The third icon from the left.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Lestat34li201:
Google Lens

Hello,

Have you done something special to have it.

Even with the last update I can't use it because no google lens icon is shown on the bottom of my screen.

Is there a country related problem ? As I'm in France, maybe Google decided to block this app :crying:.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maybeme2:
I am new to lineageos having just installed 14.1 with microG on my nexus 5.

Everything works fine but I discovered a problem with my phone speaker volume. Sound is fine except when I put my phone on speaker. When I do that the person I am calling hears garbled sound and whooshing.

Is this a known bug or something else?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Byronbgs:
I am using a Nexus 5 and my Photo app version is in the screenshot. Some articles and forum post state only a Google phone and or a Pixel has the Google lens (???). Search the XDA for Google Lens and you will see. Most are saying the tricks used to get non google phones working in the past are blocked on the Server side, therefore don't work anymore.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GopalKaul:
There is a magisk module for it. Flash it and enjoy
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maybeme2:
Anyone else have a similar problem? Or could it be hardware?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maybeme2:
Fair, in case somebody else has this problem, I 'partially' fixed it following this advice

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TxCUKLhMNBM

Now the other party can hear me fine on phone calls. ?

I still have a problem if I turn speaker on. When I do that the microphone picks up ambient noise and the other party hears their own conversation back as double sound. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Charles IV:
In think I had something similar a while back on Google duo, but I couldn't pin down what it was or whether it was me, and I didn't fix it. It may be unrelated, but I do remember something
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maybeme2:
Thanks for your input. It helps to know you're not the only one. For now I'll do without using the speaker mode and keep searching.

Could this be a bug in lineageos version of audiofx?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nexonian:
I know that there has been something like this on at least one of the stock ROMs but I'm not sure if this is a known issue in LineageOS: If I turn on the flashlight, it will automatically turn off after several minutes. It is not possible to turn it on again + the camera force closes until the phone is rebooted.

Known bug?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NJ5499:
Yes it is there since lollipop I guess. Try kill camera from f-droid. It is the only workaround I found.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nexonian:
Doesn't work for me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gr-e:
There is a solution for LOS but you will have to edit your framework-res.apk:

DAMN YOU BLUETOOTH AUDIO!!!:mad:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maybeme2:
I was running lineageos 14.1 with microG on my nexus 5 when today I got notice that a lineageos update was available (7.1.2). So I downloaded and installed it. On reboot I got this woriesome popup! See screenshot.

What does it mean and what should I do?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tyamamoto:
Nevermind, a little late April fool's joke:)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maybeme2:
Thank you, buy can someone else confirm thus is an April 1st joke on April 5?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RelentlesS747:
Confirm.

"The following section was our yearly April Fool’s joke. It will be included in builds through 2018-04-08."

https://lineageos.org/Changelog-17/

If you want to disable the persistent notification, run this command from a root shell (such as adb root / recovery or terminal app)

setprop persist.lineage.nofool true

and reboot the device
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maybeme2:
Thank you. Since you know about setprop, maybe you can help me with a related audio problem. On lineageos 14.1 when I put my nexus 5 phone on speakerphone, the others party hears reverberation and echo.

Previously, when on a phone call and not on speakerphone, the other party could not hear me at all and I fixed that by changing

persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true

To =false.

That fixed it and now regular phone calls are fine but the speakerphone noise problem persists and I don't know which 'persist' to modify.

It could of course be hardware, but the repair I mentioned above worked so well that is probably a software problem involving some faulty audio setting. (He said hopefully. ...)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maybeme2:
Another thing that followed the latest lineageos update based on 7.1.2 is that it removed the patched playstore that I had previously installed. How do I get the playstore back?

Xposed was also uninstalled and I needed to reinstall it..

Will this happen every time lineageos updates?

Before the update I had lineageos with microG installed. Did the update mess up the microG part? Do I need to fix something for that or anything else?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] osm0sis:
Sounds like there's something wrong with your addon.d, or if it's for mods that don't have addon.d scripts then you can use my FlashAfterUpdate addon.d script from my Odds thread.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maybeme2:
Thank you for replying. I really appreciate it.

The problems I described above, plus the stupid 'April fool' joke, made me worried enough to just go ahead and restore my most recent nandroid backup from 3/31 when all was well. That worked and things.are back to normal. But I'm not sure what to check for (don't know what addon.d is or where to find it) before updating lineageos again.

What should I do to avoid this happening again when I update? Could my update download be faulty?

Also, where do I find your Odds threa?

Edit.

I found the odds and ends thread. Being not an expert in lineageos, please tell me exactly what I should do to avoid things going bad again. The update is currently downloading.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] PURJUJU:
Hello, if one day we get the Official LineageOS 15.1 for our device, does the system update will notice us or we remain on the 14.1 branch?

And by the way, does someone works on the official LineageOS 15.1 for our device? (I'm not and I won't ask for ETA, I'm just wondering)

Thank you
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NJ5499:
Yes. You can check out LineageOS's Gerrit to track the development - https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/hh-o
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maybeme2:
OK guys, I'm about ready to give up on lineage!

After reverting to an earlier nandroid, the lineageos update again messed up my phone as described above. I don't know if it is because of incompatibility with xposed or sometimes else. The developers have done a phenominal job but there is definitely something wrong, at least with the update process. I'm just about ready to go back to stock android. I can't afford to waste so much time just restoring/updating/patching again and again instead of actually using the phone.

Can anyone help with the update process?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] xenyz:
Every time you perform an update, the system partition is cleared and the new image is flashed.

This image does not have microG, Gapps, Xposed, Magisk, etc as it is just bone stock LineageOS. You must flash any and all extra packages you use afterwards.

Having said that, some packages have a 'survival script' that automatically backs themselves up to the data partition and restores to system partition afterwards but only themselves and not all packages have it, so flashing them manually is the one method that always works 100%.

More advanced users can use solutions like what osm0sis has provided but for now just have a folder with everything you flash and go through it every update.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maybeme2:
Thanks for the explanation. Does make using lineageos rather more tedious than stock.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] osm0sis:
Bolded in your quote what my FlashAfterUpdate addon.d script actually does; it just automates that for you. Makes custom ROMs like Lineage totally painless to update.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maybeme2:
---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

[/COLOR]

Thank you both Xenyz and osm0sis. Had I realized what Xenyz explained I would have saved myself a lot of time and frustration and probably at least made a nandoid backup before updating. Learning on the job is painful! Fortunately I have a backup from 4/4 I can go back to.

Thank you osm0sis for all the work you've done too. I will donate to you even if I end up giving up on lineageos. Question: Will FlashAfterUpdate work retrospectively, restoring the apps lost by the update? If so, how do I apply it. I'm not a user of Linux. What exactly do I do to run it? Run it in as terminal or in twrp? How do I make it do its magic?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] osm0sis:
Your GApps should definitely have an addon.d that covers that. Open GApps' packages definitely create one. Magisk has an addon.d script also. If they're other apps added with other flashable zips, then you might just need to throw the zip into the FlashAfterUpdate directory in /sdcard and then it'll handle it during the update. Follow the instructions in my thread.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maybeme2:
But apps installed from Amazon, or the patched playstore, or apks in general would still remain a problem. Am I correct?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] osm0sis:
No, they would be stored in /data, which remains through a dirty flash, same as stock ROM.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maybeme2:
Translating into language I can understand?, what needs to be stored in data are the apks of all my installed apps, correct? So, if I understand correct, after any of the weekly lineageos updates the apks for anything I had installed (I use 200 apps!), all need to be reinstalled and setup again?

Can't I instead just use titanium backup to restore the lost apps with their data and settings?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Charles IV:
unless you moved the apps to /system, they will be fine, nothing should be lost.

You can use titanium backup to backup the apps to be on the safe side, no harm in doing that.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maybeme2:
Thank you for the explanation. I appreciate your taking the time.

That explains why the 2 main apps I lost after an update were the xposed modules and the patched playstore (which I read apparently needs to be in /system).

Are you also saying that restoring these 2 app groups from a prior titanium backup is OK and won't damage the update? In an earlier message in this thread BrandoHD wrote that restoring old data from titanium isn't clean anymore and could cause conflicts which made me think that was not an option in lineageos.

Similarly, earlier in this thread, Mynacol also warned about trying to restore apps with titanium.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Charles IV:
... it could cause problems, you could make a full twrp backup and try restoring the titanium backup, and if it does break things, you can restore the twrp backup.

Alternatively you could go through and install them all again.

One thing from my limited experience with microg, is that you should have the patched playstore on system and data, so when you install an update, play store persists, and you can then copy it over to system again.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maybeme2:
Thank you again for taking the time to explain.

From your comment about 'limited experience with microG' I assume you either don't use microG or use an alternative. The only alternative I am aware of is magisk (I may have misspelled it). Is that better? There are a few apps from the playstore I cannot find suitable alternatives for.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Charles IV:
I used microg on my tablet for a while instead of opengapps.

Currently I use opengapps for the google apps and magisk for root on my phone. I am aware of something to do with systemless gapps and magisk, but don't know anything about it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] PURJUJU:
Thank you for the link, so that means, something is currently in development for our dear Nexus 5. :)

But the thing is, I can't see / understand how much development still needs to be done before the release. could you kindly quickly explain me how I can find this please?

Thank you :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lukss12:
After an update you need to flash or perform all the system modifications again (Xposed, Magisk, Modded Playstore, etc) the best way to automat it is ussing addon.d... this is not a problem from custom ROMs, people don't face this problem on stock ROMs because they are unlikely to update and if they get updated sometime you will have the same problem with all your system modifications... So you have two solutions here... Make yourself a nice addon.d solution using tools like the ones recommended by other users or just don't flash weekly updates and take the time to update once a month or two months and perform ur modifications manually.

PS: u will never loose your apps performing an update unless you update to a different android major version, in that case is mandatory to wipe data.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mpkav:
This was originally posted in the general section, I am hoping someone can advise:

I am hoping someone can help me trace back my mistake, I seem to have permanently removed the lockscreen visualizer from my device (Nexus 5). I am not sure if this is the most relevant place, and this is my first time playing with anything other than stock.

My steps, to the best of my memory:

Unlock bootloader

Install TWRP (3.2.1) via fastboot

Install Lineage 14.1 (2018-0t4-10) via TWRP

Root device via CF-Auto Root

Install Xposed via Installer

Install V4Android FX via TWRP

This is about the time I noticed that the visualizer was missing. I later read that sound mods have the possibility of messing with the system visualizer. I also played around with ElementalX (not sure if that matters) but removed it shortly after by installing Lineage 14.1 after a wipe because I was getting an excessive drain (the charger could not supply enough power to stop the system from killing the battery). Kernel is now whatever is stock in Lineage. The Settings "display music visualizer" is enabled, as well.

In order to fix, I attempted the following:

Restore from previous backup in TWRP (did not work)

Factory reset/wipe via TWRP and setting up Lineage 14.1 from scratch (did not work)

Re-flashing stock 6.0.1 MM and then re-installing TWRP and attempting to install Lineage 14.1 on again (did not work)

My latest attempt has Magisk with Xposed, with Lockscreen Visualizer Xposed installed, still nothing. Is it possible that I have permanently deleted something? I figured flashing the stock ROM/recovery would reset the slate, but no luck.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drugusv:
I think our phone was forgotten :) because even for Nexus 6 there is already an official LineageOS 15.1 ROM.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ssauger:
Not sure what benefit LOS 15.1 will bring to hammerhead. I got a Galaxy S7 for a nice price. Beside its realy fast and the picture quality is awesome, i miss my Nexus 5 and take it out of it's box nearly every evening. Never it was so sad to leave a old phone. I run it with the unofficial CAF version and hammerhead is amazing. I am sure development will going on with this lovely Piece.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Byronbgs:
The 5x and 6 are 64 bit phones and it's easier to get Oero 8 up and running. The Nexus 5 is 32 bit CPU and thus more work is needed to say bridge the gap.

It could happen officially but it will take more time
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drugusv:
Nexus 6p is 64 bit, but Nexus 6 is 32 bit (snapdragon 805)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Byronbgs:
Sorry bout that, I've got a 5 and not up on the 6's. :eek:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ahkah:
So what is the benefit of this Samsung device? Is there anything you can do with that one, but not with the other one? Do Youtube videos run faster on the Samsung? What about the Android version, Samsung's is older than 7.1.2, isn't it? And it has been changed by Samsung, so what's really better with the Samsung device? Is there any real benefit of having a "mainstream" device? Cheaper spare parts? Better app compatibility?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ssauger:
Sure, its faster and the real benefit for me is the photo quality. Since we got our little doughter, we take so much more photos. OK, but all this is OT, sorry. Hammerhead is still a great device.

There is an unofficial 15.1 LOS build, but it hasn't met all the requirements to be considered official yet.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Charles IV:
I'm having an issue with a latest nightly.

Luckily, I made a backup, but when I used the inbuilt app to update, my phone bootlooped (I left it for a very long while).

I am currently in the long process of restoring the backup, and will probably give the lineage updater another chance before trying a clean flash, but I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue, and what is likely to have caused it? Is it just a weird anomaly?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Latest update worked in my phone without problem. I used lineage updater as usual. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maybeme2:
Please delete. It was a hardware issue which I fixed.

Please delete image.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lukss12:
Did you try a second boot after the bootlop? It happened to me sometimes that the first boot after an update ends in a bootloop and force powering off the phone makes it boot
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Charles IV:
I think I did, but I may not have.

I have a feeling one of my positions is slightly corrupted - when clean flashing last weeks nightly or this week's, it bootloops, so I'll probably back up app data etc and then factory reset and clean install when next week's comes out
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yeay1:
The latest nightly drains the battery very quick. Does someone else have the same problem?
