With 1129 release, all known camera issues had gone now! ?

But I have a question, what's the difference between HTC and Nougat default camera HAL exactly, such as advantages and disadvantages? I'd read it on Gerrit and still have no idea… Do we use which was ported from Marshmallow by HTC now, and will we keep use it on the upcoming LOS 15? And would you like to rebuild the HAL based on Oreo source code?

Oh, there is an issue likely caused by LOS. Because of the relived home button, I tried to use expanded desktop function (settings>display) to hide navigation bar. When it was enabled, phone would get warmer, suspending that there is an memory leakage or an NPE issue. ?

* EDITED *

I've remembered another issue: the flip cover (LineageOS FlipFlap) isn't able to show dynamically, it shows statically only. But this is probably a LineageOS issue, not device.
[HTC One A9] solved:
Well i think it is a common LOS issue .. not only on my HTC also on my Nexus 5 and Xperia Z1 the Phone is gettin warmer with it
[HTC One A9] paparansen:
so... dac problem still not fixed.

if there is no fix until end of year, i will not use los anymore. not even a cashbonus is making capable people doing something... sad that is.

Have the nightly from 2911 fixed the Magisk problem or is it still present?

Can I use it or is it unusable?
[HTC One A9] solved:
you can use it, it was an issue with the v14.5(1455) release which got fixed in the Magisk-v14.5(1456) release .. so now no more problems :P works fine everything

With Magisk I can't decrypt /data with twrp too. So no change to stock root.
[HTC One A9] solved:
you can decrypt the data partition, or prevent the decryption with every "script" or modification that alters your boot.img like Magisk .. it works .. if you follow the right steps

A9

Now I am a layman and merely a practical user. What I do not understand is that many users of an A9 try to think along, like to run LineageOS on their phone, but it seems that there are only updates, which are generally the same for all devices. Updates that make sure that things that work well get a relapse. There is no listening to the enthusiastic user.

---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

The really important issues are not addressed: Data encryption, camera, sound. Solutions that are provided are patches that do not contribute to a stable system. Passion and love to make each other a better system, a scream from the user, everything is ignored. Too bad, but LineageOS on my HTC A9 I gave up. I may not know enough about the structure at LineageOS, but this just does not feel right.
[HTC One A9] Tommmii:
Your complaint is valid, except where you complain about issues with encryption, camera and sound.

These issues are either non-issues, such as the so-called sound issue. There's been a few very vocal complainers, most people, myself included, have no problem with the sound.

Or the issues are not strictly LOS related, such as the data encryption issue. This is something that falls between the cracks of TWRP and LOS. But there is a proper solution, just flash Magisk and never look back.

Orrrr the issues are a real issue, but there's a simple solution, like camera. Just use the LOS app to take pics.

Personally, I have shelved my A9 due to lack of enthusiastic rom development.

I fully understand that the maintainer for LOS is a volunteer, he needs to make choices about which devices to invest his personal time in.

Unfortunately for us the users, very little time seems to go into the A9. Our device is being maintained, in the simplest form of the word.
[HTC One A9] Xtaner:
I've switch to A9 with OS-2.17.401.2 and eveything is working fine and smooth. So there must be a error in the OS-2.16.161.5 version.

I don't know how I'm exactly doing this.

Is there a tutorial oder a guide?
[HTC One A9] solved:
just flash magisk (newest beta build) with lineage together, no reboot or boot into system before that, usually

Flash Lineage + Gapps + Magisk in 1 step and it should work.

make sure you format the partitions before that

I sold my s8 and took my htc a9 off the shelve thanks to lineage Os 14.1 . I finally decided to flash twrp and load lineage 14.1 august this year . No regrets
[HTC One A9] Karl_Rasur:
Hi guys

I am on LOS 14.1. Nightly 29. Nov.

I am facing the following issues:

-Fingerprint sometimes is not working properly. If I try to unlock the phone, sometimes I have to press on/off button to get the fingerprint working and unlock the phone.

-if I get a message in whatsapp or viber, sometimes the notification sound is mute.

Any hints would be helpful.
[HTC One A9] intervigil:
I'm not looking at the TFA amp audio level anymore. I've already mentioned that I've reached what I feel like is the limit of what I am able to do there.

The data encryption problem is a TWRP issue. I don't really contribute to or use TWRP, so I don't have much information there. I could take a look, but I don't know how far [MENTION=6093703]Captain T[/MENTION]hrowback got previously.
[HTC One A9] jjakajonas:
Now I have flashed my device with the latest nightly instead of the HTC sense software.

And I can tell this works better than sense.

I do receive all sent text and it just runs smooth on my device and even better then I tryed it on the old kernel for longer time ago..

Good work ?
[HTC One A9] Matthew98405:
Glad the Google Camera works, I think that's fixed on the OpenGapps side, though it stops working if it updates. I've also had issues with TWRP 3.2, and booting to recovery not working with that version installed, even other versions, decryption doesn't work.
[HTC One A9] solved:
Don't use the newest twrp .. it only makes trouble on every device

decryption doesn't work on its own, only if u install a script / app which alters the boot.img .. like Magisk it does .. so just flash magisk with lineage and the problem is gone

[HTC One A9] paparansen:
the quality & power of the sound when using wired headphones on LOS is - compared to the stock htc rom - realy, realy bad.

it is not only the low volume, there is no " power", i dont know how to explain.

with stock rom, when at about 50% volume, the sound is crystal clear, the bass is incredibly strong, there is no noise, no crackling, just an awesome sound. when going higher, the volume difference is clearly present with every step, the bass wont go down. i cant get over 70-80% volume because it is too much BUT the sound quality do not suffer.

and most important, i do NOT activate htc boomsound.

with LOS rom, when at about 50% volume, it is like about 30% on stock rom AND the sound is not nearly clear as on stock rom AND the bass is almost not present. when going up in volume, up to 100%, there is realy not that dfference in volume AND the quality & bass goes even more down, it almost sounds like a "joghurtbecher"... i dont know how to explain in english ^^

AND... i tried this on my own A9 and 3 other A9.

i am using a beyerdynamic dt880pro and/or dt770
[HTC One A9] intervigil:
Interesting. I thought the RT5506 which drives the headphones was set up the same way for both HTC and LOS. To be clear, you are not talking about speaker audio output at all, right? (A different amp, the TFA9895 drives the speaker, and has it's own profiles and settings. LOS runs the TFA9895 amp in bypass mode, and does not apply any EQ or speaker profiles)
[HTC One A9] paparansen:
it is about wired headphone only.

See post #2 ... (^_^)v

Should be as functional as the hiaeul build. Hopefully no problems with the boot patcher. Downloading, will report back if no one else does first.

Edit : The boot patcher works, everything else so far looks good as well. I don't use Google GApps or CyanogenMod applications though, I can't speak for those.

Edit 2 : I see a bug that for now prevents me to use CM 14 until I find a solution. System settings that I set do not stick after a reboot. Everything goes back to defaults, every single time. No idea what's going on.

[HTC One A9] scott8281:
I'm not sure what fix was pushed for that but I had that problem on the hiaeul building until the 12/9 version but it's all good now.

And actually it wouldn't reset the settings on every reboot but it would after flashing a new version or booting in and out of recovery (such as making a back up). So it wasn't that big of a deal breaker for me. I'm the sure the same fixed will be pushed for yours very soon.

If I'm not mistaken this is what fixed it.
[HTC One A9] :
You have to activate the developer settings in the stock rom and choose oem boot unlock (Don't know it exactly but you will find it when you look for oem and boot).

Then you can proceed with unlocking the bootloader.

Hi [MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]

Have flashed the new cm14.1 hiaeuhl international build today, everything works mostly fine. No sim card errors and the boot patcher works.

But i have noticed two things, first when i start whatsapp to scan the barcode for whatsapp web from my pc the first time it crashes after i have given the permissions to use the camera (says something that the camera can't be started) with a second try it works. The second thing i noticed (It's really harmless) is that the google now launcher (which i prefer) after installing doesn't appear in the list of launchers in the settings, after a reboot of the phone it appears in the list and can be selected.

Thanks for the great work.
[HTC One A9] Ultramanoid:
Camera also is another thing that doesn't work for me.

I'm checking on a different hiaeuhl, but see the same problems, no system settings sticking on reboot, and deformed images when it saves an image at all, mostly it doesn't, just freezes.

Nobody mentioned this for the hiaeul, so I guess there are significant differences with the builds.

Edit : The photos that actually get saved are all three quarters green, and the top right quarter normal. Really weird.
[HTC One A9] :
I have no problem with green square or the image quality but when i try to show me the photos i have made it automatically starts the gallery app ("Galerie" since i am german) and then it stucks loading this app, it doesn't show me photos or anything (From time to time it shows the title but nothing else). I have to press the home/back button to get out of the app.

*EDIT* Now i am asking myself if i am sane, right after posting this the gallery app started working. Maybe only a temporary fail.
[HTC One A9] The_scam:
Yes, completely stable, sorry for late reply
[HTC One A9] scott8281:
I always delete the gallery app and just use the Google photos app. If your a Google photos user it makes life simpler without the Gallery app
[HTC One A9] The_scam:
The sad thing is the hiaeul stopped as soon as the hiaeuhl started :c
[HTC One A9] Ultramanoid:
A combination of open source cameras helps to get photos done somehow. OpenCamera will work if set to Camera2 API although this makes video unusable. FreeDCam will work with video and Camera1 API. Both have noticeably reduced quality and less options ( with ISO for instance ) compared to CM 13.

The real problem is the settings reverting back after reboot though. It takes minutes to go through all of them to set it up again every time. This should be a one time only thing and then forget it for months until next OS version, not several times everyday. Nobody else on hiaeuhl sees this issue ?

Edit : It's also random what settings stick at different times ( right now font size and nav bar buttons order and others do ) and which don't ( ringtone volume, status bar icons and lock screen set up now don't ), etc. Effectively one has to check all anyway.
[HTC One A9] scott8281:
As of the 12/9 build I'm not experiencing in camera issues with the camera that comes with ROM or the settings not sticking. Which nightly are you running ?
[HTC One A9] Ultramanoid:
The only one available so far for hiaeuhl, December 11th.

Blocking unknown numbers is not available on CM 14 yet, right ? That setting seems to be missing, comparing with CM 13.
[HTC One A9] scott8281:
Oh okay. I'm running the other build and that stuff is fixed. I'm sure the same fixes will be merged soon on yours as well.

Priority is still present in 7.1.1 and you can block calls or messages or select if you want to block all but contacts or all calls and messages. Is this what you're referring to?
[HTC One A9] Ultramanoid:
Thank you very much. I think that's it, calls only from contacts. Before it was on the call settings, "block unknown numbers"...
[HTC One A9] scott8281:
If you open up the dialer and go to settings it's in there as well
[HTC One A9] Ultramanoid:
It only has one option though, "add a number", and nothing else, just a field to enter the number. At least on this build. In CM 13 there are more options. Guess they just shuffled settings, always happens with a new Android version.

Edit : Settings in general is pretty messed up. Not only system settings. I see now that also clock settings get reverted every reboot. All cities and alarms, even sound chosen, erased. Not quite ready to be used as a daily driver.

Edit 2 : Going to wipe everything and reinstall from scratch, then test with default CM as it comes, because I think I'm the only one with this 'preferences reverting' issue.

Hello everyone,

I installed Lineage 14.1 on my A9 and it pretty much works like a charm:

twrp-3.2.1-0-hiae.img

lineage-14.1-20171227-nightly-hiaeuhl-signed.zip

magisk v15.2

Thanks to the developers for the great job! I do not have any problems with incoming or outgoing calls as suggested by others. Only "problem" appears to be the MTP-issue, however the workaround as suggested by aries2747 works fine for me at the moment.

Now, I was thinking on how to update to new versions of lineage. As previously posted by others, LOS updater does not work. From what I've seen from previous posts, updating appears to be somewhat of a challenge as TWRP has problems with the decryption. I have set my SD card to function as internal storage, when trying to access TWRP, I cannot decrypt.

I'm a little confused on how to proceed to update. Is there a way to do this without losing all my settings etc.?

It has been suggested that Magisk helps in this regard. I flashed Magisk with the initial LOS-install and install appears to be correct according to Magisk Manager. There is an option "preserve force encryption". Can/should I leave this unmarked that to allow updates? However, upon de-selecting this option and following closure and restart of the Magisk manager app, the option is reselected automatically.

Is there anywhere a description on how to update LOS most efficiently that I could use?

Thanks for the help and apologies in case this has been covered previously...
