This is unlikely. If a device doesn't already ship with Treble, it will most likely not be implemented as it would require a lot more work to re-partition the device (which manufacturers won't do). Treble implementation isn't just built into the ROM, the device has to be partitioned to support it.

I'm sure I might be missing some details. If someone else can clarify, that would be great.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] alatnet:
Ah. I see.

So, from my understanding of treble, it would need a vendor partition for it to work. But wouldnt it also work if the treble vendor specific drivers are kept in the vendor folder and included with each firmware update?

While not ideal in theory it would work.

Another thing is that I was looking through the partitions on the nexus 6 and there's at least 4 partitions with the name of "pad". They have 4156, 1024, 1024, and 2528 blocks respectively, so it could be a possibility to use those, maybe even in a pseudo raid fashion.

But as this thread is for lineage os, these are just idle speculations.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
The Xiaomi Mi 5 recently got Project Treble compatibility unofficially because of developers. This was a phone released middle of 2016.

That doesn't say much for the Nexus 6 though. It's a much older phone.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] sgloki77:
can anyone confirm if flashing magisk before booting will get rid of the forced encryption?

I want to try the latest build but don't want encryption
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SolidSTI:
I flashed Magisk right after install and before reboot. The device in settings say encrypted, but I don't need a pin to read the filesystem in TWRP. I'm assuming it isn't actually encrypted.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] toto-w:
As far as I know Magisk has nothing to do with force encryption.

To prevent encryption use this tool. It's easy peasy.

If it says it is encrypted it IS encrypted. If you didn't set a PIN/pass or password the random master key is encrypted with a default password (which is: "default_password"). TWRP maybe knows it and has access to your data. Changing your Lock Screen password should change encryption password as well.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kraehetest:
I am not 100% sure, but it is possible that Magisk disable forced encryption.

I didn't try it, so there's no guarantee.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] genti.b:
I don't remember ever, this being said in any ROM discussion that Magisk disables forced encryption.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kraehetest:
If I have time, I'll try it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] unarj:
I wiped everything but storage, flashed beta3, flashed gapps, flashed Magisk 1600, no encryption here. Magisk does have an option to keep forceencryption but I've never checked it (default has always been off for me).
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
Hmmm, under "Settings / Security & privacy" towards the bottom, there's an item that says "Encryption & Credentials". Does it say "unencrypted" there? Mine says "Phone encrypted"
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] unarj:
doesn't say unencrypted, but if it gives the option to encrypt means it's not encrypted. IIRC (been awhile since I ran encrypted) it will say 'encrypted' and not be clickable if you are.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
Ah, yes, that's what I meant. Mine's been encrypted forever, so I don't think I'd ever seen the non-encrypted entry. Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MartinX3:
The Author said, that the freezes in Whatsapp prevent this ROM from become a official version.

I had these freezes, too in LOS 14.1.

But they got fixed in a nightly.

But I don't know which nightly it was.

So I think they can be fixed in LOS 15.1, too, if it is a regression.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mikevb:
It appears having Magisk installed on first boot of beta 3 prevents Play Store from working properly. After setup, I rebooted and installed Magisk and Play Store still works.

Couple other issues in beta 3:

Double tap to wake option in settings doesn't work

Loading circle when rebooting turns to a black square

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] abnormalreply:
I think this is a 15.1 issue on shamu. I had the same problem with my build of LOS a few weeks ago. Tried several players (Poweramp, Blackplayer, foobar, mediamonkey, etc.)--all had the same problem with the OS bogging down when trying to use lockscreen controls. Music usage is a priority for me, so had to go back to 14.1 for now.

Do other Oreo ROMs have this problem on shamu?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Navrot:
The solution proposed by unarj worked fine for me, did you try it ? ( turning off the music visualizer)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] razorloves:
That was a bug in all lineage 15.1 builds a couple weeks ago. It was already fixed so it shouldn't be a problem in the next build. https://review.lineageos.org/208619

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] quizzina:
I installed lineage-15.1-20180202-UNOFFICIAL-shamu.zip (BETA 1) and everything works fine for me.

I tried to install the BETA 2 and BETA 3 but after the installation and the reboot I cannot start with the device's configuration because the inital App configurator continuosly crushes after that I choose the language.

I cannot go ahead so I was forced to delete it and return to BETA 1.

I used "open_gapps-arm-8.1-nano" and note that it is the same file I used for BETA 1 without problems.

Can someone help me to install also BETA 2 or BETA3?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Danners:
Afraid I did not, no. Curiously an update to the Starbucks app was released a few days later that resolved the issue. I've not looked in to it any further so couldn't comment on the origin of the issue.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] abnormalreply:
Thanks. Yes I'm starting to suspect it's an app issue and not LOS. Reviews on the Play Store have people complaining about fingerprint related issues after a recent update.

Which version of Lineage are you on, 14.1 or 15.1? There was quite a long discussion about this awhile back, and it looks like there was some problem between Sprint and LineageOS. I don't think there was ever any real resolution

See the link above for 15.1 beta 3, which is the latest. As far as I know there is no repository of old and new builds. Electroschmock just posts links to new builds in this forum when he gets them built

Definitely seeing the GPS issues electro mentioned on 15.1b3, though not for all GPS use. Only certain situations. Doubt this helps, but got a good sampling size and figured I'd throw it out there:

- 8hrs of phone use via bluetooth, including constant navigation, lots of music, calls, and countless "ok google" commands. Never had one issue at all.

- Lost data service due to where I was driving. Maps started searching for signal to draw the map...phone soft rebooted. This happened 17 times before I got into a good service area again. Then...no more reboots. Not one.

- Unable to get crash log (had to finish the drive first and it had scrolled past by then), but daily log only has three constant alerts: "modem info is invalid" and "getConfig error undefined" (when playing music) and "play status change 1>1" (this one CONSTANTLY pops into the log when playing music)

Lineage 15.1 Beta 4

GPS HAL is still causing reboots for some users.

I did some additional changes but I can't tell if they are fixed now, because I can't trigger the reboot.

Some other devs were testing it and didn't have reboots

lineage-15.1-20180327-UNOFFICIAL-shamu.zip

Flash proper 8.1 Gapps

Attention:

- ROM is forceencrypted

- Prerooted with LineageOS' SU for easier debugging (will be removed once going stable)

Got it on: Installed over beta3 and wiped catch. Ha March 5 security Patch included.

I tell you this is the best rom I ever had on me Phone.

( Explained here the problems I had )

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76009210&postcount=8

I got the phone part working since I played around yesterday for at least 5 hours .

The Dialer was not set as Default app so it worked sometimes when I called but still could not pick up the phone over the screen, it was just black.

Bevor I used LineageOS 14.1 always used Nova Launcher Prime with it so when I went to 15.1 it was automatically installed I did not used it because I like the Pixel Launcher better however, I uninstalled Nova launcher since that time the phone runs like a champ.

also Tried during my trying === Tried all below with BETA 3

8.1 Gapps aroma ..... don't work . it crashes ,or don't install what I want it to install

8.1 Gapps nano....... Phone set up alway goes to Factory reset.

8.1 Gapps stock I using and it works perfect others i did not tried.

Thanks again.

Installed b4 over b3, and locked up. Wiped, reloaded as a clean install with open_gapps-arm-8.1-nano-20180219-UNOFFICIAL. No issues at all with setup.

- Double (soft) reboot on startup is gone. Yay!

- Playing music and testing GPS all morning. No crashes or issues seen yet. Will update if I can get GPS to crash.

- I have catlog recording just in case. So far all I'm seeing error-wise is "play status change", "light requested not available on this device", "modem info is invalid", and an occasional "failed to release buffer." If I get a crash, I'll post the log on what it shows.

- ONLY quirky thing so far, which isn't new in b4, is that apps close suddenly if in the background. Thinking that's just an Oreo issue, not a LOS one. Ie, pause Pandora (or any other wakelock app), switch to another app, 60 seconds later Pandora closes.

Edit (updates after 24hrs)

- Minor lag unlocking the phone with music/visualization going. It hangs for 2-3 seconds on the lockscreen after unlocking.

- Still no surprise reboots! /happydance

Was just wondering the same thing. Below it says "GPS chain merged". I know they were having GPS issues, so maybe this patched the last problem they were having before stable? Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] umpireflux:
The following is exactly what it means:

In more detail, the gps patches here ( https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/st..._gps+branch:lineage-15.1+topic:msm8084_update ) have been successfully merged, and now the topic is updating the build targets and the wiki documentation (see also the 3 topics under "Same Topic" to the upper right) so that 15.1 instead of 14.1 will be built for the Nexus 6. So as soon as this change is approved and merged 15.1 for Nexus 6 will be official.

Awesome! Thanks for the explanation :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:

Not a LOS bug...but boy is this annoying. Anyone else getting the funky Oreo "feature" where it turns off wifi on its own to save power and then refuses to turn it back on unless you do it manually? I found the option to automatically turn back on, but the whole shutting down wifi on its own seems to be built into the OS. Worse yet...it does this when sitting right next to my work access point.

I know it may sound funny but I discovered this actually a long time ago on probably a lollipop build maybe even before but sometimes when I fire up my Wi-Fi tether my computer or my tablet will see it and it will connect but it won't have any internet. So what I do is go back into the Wi-Fi tether like you're going into the phone open up the Wi-Fi tether section and then go down to where it says setup and then just hit the save button again and you'll see the Wi-Fi tether shut off and turn back on and then see if your stuff Associates to it that's the only way I can get it to do it sometimes that's been a problem that I've dealt with for quite some time but it seems like a fairly easy fix you just got to reset it. At the setup screen in the Wi-Fi tether section.
