Adoptable storage is a mess in general. It is not designed to extend the internal storage per se, that is why the benefits are minimal. Keep in mind that home launchers, browsers and widgets must not be placed on external storage in order to function properly. For the rest, it is a case of trial and error. Some of them, like twitter, will simply not work and need to be placed in internal.

Moreover, Apps that are on adoptable storage might appear late on the launcher at boot. This happens especially when many Apps are installed on external. Adoptable storage gets mounted a little late at boot and the home launcher might start before they are 'cached' by Android and thus fail to display them. Restarting the launcher after boot might help this (also you could try an alternative launcher).

System Apps are saving cached data in internal storage. You can minimize the amount of these data by disabling system Apps that you do not need. Also, be sure to clean cached data (under settings->storage) from time to time.

Lastly, about superuser access, that option under developer settings is about the addon_su zip file from the lineageos site. I think it is save to use that functionality. Kernel and system are patched against most of known threats (and I am still working on this area).

Thank you for using the ROM and commenting on it.

Giving RW permissions as you suggest on nougat is difficult (and probably not possible), that is why I have given up working on it.

Do you have your launcher installed on Adoptable storage?

No adoptable storage!

Lineage OS have this limitation for externalSD RW,and you

Don't know how to fix!

Oreo I hope haven't externalSD limitation!,

I dream to have a total control of my phone without limits

Google FC'S,and Google spying my information!, Google is the real proprietary of our Android phones,not us.

Hope a day a skilled developer it team's stop Google to live in Android phones hidden and stole my info.

[LG L Fino ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Rod2k:
Alright, time for another round of some fresh and quick review about this ROM.

Right out of the bat, I gotta say I miss the volume control from the main panel. I know it can be edited to place it there, but coming from KitKat something so basic.. tsc I guess Google loves to mess things around just so they can say they've 'improved' things around. Really? Well, if that's the case, than Nougat SUCKS. BALLS. BADLY! I mean WTF is wrong with the system's audio codecs or equalizer (which I can't find anywhere in the system).

Songs play slowly at start (for some) and the sound is distorted (I don't even know how to describe what I just heard) for other songs. "It could be Nano's player is messing with your music files" - Nah, I just tried Google's Play Music. Same thing. Now trust me, as soon you decide to hit the play button, you'll instantly regret for doing so.

Moving on to the next thing, which is not that important, mind you, but the icons on the home screen do not let you know how many events you have missed. Email app won't let you know how many unread emails are there waiting for you, something with WhatsApp, Twitter, you got the idea.

Now take this one with a huge bag of salt: Bluetooth. I tried it with Google Maps (installed from Play Store, not included in Nano Gapps) once today and it performed poorly. I enabled and then disabled Bluetooth several times until Maps finally decided to pop up a request for me to allow it to track down my location. Not sure what happened there. Also, it took much longer than it usually does to let me know where it thinks I am. Couldn't play with my phone any longer so I'm just posting my initial thoughts here. Tomorrow (or the next day, who knows), I'll try Maps again in different locations and let you know. And just so we can get the whole picture about Bluetooth, I'll try it with a BT keyboard, BT headphones (I do hope Nougat keeps reporting the battery life estimation of my BT devices, for KitKat did it flawlessly back in the day).

On the good side, my phone does promptly wake with a double tap. "How is that good?" Lets just say my phone always liked to fight my finger in order to wake up (that's my out of the box experience) and I'm glad it hasn't pretended nothing is happening when I ask it to wake up. Great job!

Gaming.. Erm, wasting my time with some funny app on my phone has been a flawless experience. No crashes, no lag, no nothing. I'm playing Simcity Build it (yeah, I know). It gets more and more demanding as more buildings are placed on the map and I'm happy with the performance, considering how old this phone is.

Keep up the great work!

1) android is not windows, you will always have limitation on extSD.

2) if you dont want google spying at you, what were you thinking when you were flashing gapps?

3) and, there is no need to stop google, there is souce code, if you dont trust christpp's builds then go ahead and compile your own

piece of advice: use inverted boot image of you want that "full control". and dont flash damn gapps
[LG L Fino ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] christpp:
Hay, thanks for commenting.

Linageos' home launcher is very basic. You could try a third-party launcher to get the icons notification bubbles.

Also, about the codecs, I have never had some bad playback experience. Could you provide me with a music file that you try to play, to debug on my device? It should really be solvable I believe, it is just Android that has huge configuration options.

Let us know about your bluetooth tests when they are finished. I am very interested.

Thank you

Can I have a working lineage build.prop

Because the one in zip corrupted, I download again but build.prop corrupted.

I have the old build zip,but strange corrupted.

I try another sd-card,same,why is is strange,I go TWRP format sd-card put lineage zip,after flashing,f2f etcc. Boot normally,reboot and bootloop again !.

Help what happen to my device.

I try other ROMs and are OK!

The clue I think is the system write every boot the build.prop file but make it unreadable.

I found myself in TWRP do set permission to 775.

And system boot

Strange ,I hope I may help anyone get in the same issue.

I add the audio command and add to build.prop

But the battery drain not disappear.

The full battery reach 0 after 4 hour,27 minutes,3 second normal use.

My battery reach 0 after 12 hour of normal use,6 hour of full use,and 19 hour only e-mail, phone,SMS,25 min GPS.

Hope you fix battery drain audio issue in the next release.

[LG L Fino ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Rod2k:
I finally came to realize AudioFX is the app that's been ruining my music experience. Those equalizer settings are horrible. Even turning it off makes no difference and some audio sounds terribly bad.

Is it even possible to remove AudioFX? If so, please let me know how, I really want to get rid of it.

be careful, with what you freeze ❄
[LG L Fino ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] christpp:
Hey,

Thanks for providing a thorough review!

First, I am happy to hear that many things work as expected.

Next, to the broken stuff:

I have downloaded your attached files (thanks!) and tried to play them on my device. It is true that AudioFX is doing a bad job in some situations. Unfortunately there is no way in the stock Lineage ROM to remove it or disable it. Just turning it off through its App though will completely disable it. Some sound distortion that remains might be coming from high speaker volume range. This volume range can be changed through an xml file inside the Android system partition. If you are interested in experimenting with this (and probably contributing your results so we add them to the ROM), send me a pm. Our device uses an xml from another LG phone, with minimal changes, so actually the speaker volumes might not be calibrated for the Fino.

About Games: Since this is an unofficial ROM (not listed inside any official Google device lists), there are many things that can go wrong with a game. One big factor that might make a game crash early is not finding the system version for the reported device codename in a 'known devices' database. Also, for games on external storage, a slow SD card might make the Virtual Machine code execution to time out

and thus the system to kill the App. I have made a quick test on my device by installing Townmen. Actually the game runs completely fine installed on the external storage on my device (with minor lags between stages in code, eg going from menu to gameplay). I am running a stock LIneage ROM with MicroG instead of Google Play Services. The game spits an error about google play but runs normally after that. I have attached a screenshot at the end of the post.

For gaming on this ROM, everything is about tweaking and fixing issues through logcat, for each game individually. I can help you get some games working on your device, through some debugging. If you are interested send me a pm.

Thanks again for commenting and please let me know if any other issue arises.

SElinux is a security mechanism for Linux (Security Enhanced Linux), initially created by NSA and then contributed to the community. I have made everything needed to get it working on this ROM and set it to enforcing. It actually helps a lot against third party attacks through malicious code. Setting it to permissive is not recommended. There is actually nearly no reason to set it to permissive, if it is working fine on a ROM.

Dolby Atmos work with our Lineage too?.

Solve audio problem is yes [MENTION=2912475]uro[/MENTION]diesel trow the APK

I need to test,because audiofx drain my battery fast I think is is the problem I have no good sound too.

SElinux working as Antivirus,or why the phone need security,for my knowledge Android Linux system is a stable OS,and no viruses can be automatic until don't be executed trough compiled .

Want to see how working SElinux,and how impact on battery drainage.

Linux system is not windows,and more secure if a malicious code want interact without user seeing and interact and denying.

Can I have a build.prop file have stable audio inputs.

It does (A) havê contents linked to (B).and (B) use (A) contents .

I don't find anymore external SD card in any explore file manager,only internal sdcard I see

Where I can find the file responsible of mounts at every boot load info about card inserted in the phone?

Can may edit this file to force external SD card to

Work RW,but without system know as internal storage?

Can use another way if this one not work as intended, using adoptable way?

Can make adoptable storage without lose my files or without format it.

Adoptable work as I intended, the system use external SD and internal SD,and not external merged in internal?

patience, my friend, patience...
[LG L Fino ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] eurodiesel:
hi everyone,

since i sent my phone for repairment, i took my bros fino as a temp daily driver. And have some suggestions.

starting with whatever first comes to my mind:

first, i think it would be good to reduce the default dpi because screen feels like it is wasted while the "small" setting in Display > Display size looks optimal.

second, is it possible to enable wifi to usb tethering? i had this on my lenovo and i thought all custom roms have it. that would be nice

third. there is a mod for lenovo ( https://xdaforums.com/k5-plus/themes/mod-project-horizon-t3732926 ). this mod reduced battery drain without sacrificing much performance. since this is for octacore cpu, i am unable to apply on fino. is it possible to adapt to our quad cpu?

thats it, i guess.

pro tip: after restoring app data with TiBackup, i started to have com.android.process.acore stop error, rendering mobile communication unusable. i solved this by deleting /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases folder. using root ofc.

any way, this is an AWESOME firmware for our d290. too pity, that in turkey, where i live, people are stupid enough to by a new phone every year, instead of turning on their brains. damn, its not that hard! whats worse, i sometimes see this level of stupidity in the traffic while i drive. sigh

have a nice day!?
[LG L Fino ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] christpp:
Hey, thanks for the feedback!

1) I only left the dpi to that high value to stay consistent with the stock ROM. I personally put it to lowest setting after each clean install. I might consider setting it lower by default at some time (I have an update coming up today, that is already built, so I will upload it and probably make another one soon).

2) Can you describe to me how you used to enable wifi to usb tethering on your lenovo? I think it should be easily applyed to the fino too, but I need to do some research first.

3)Mentioned mod is for an octa core big.little architecture, but I think it can still apply (modified) on the fino. I have already done some effort to tweak the interactive governor myself through the custom powerHAL, but I believe there is room for improvement. I will take a look at that and try to improve that area more.

Lastly, I personally notice that "phone upgrading every year" behavior in my country too. It is a shame that many devices that are shipped with bad firmware which does not actually take advantage of their true capabilities are disposed for higher-end, still badly developed devices :D . That is a rule of phone sales I guess .

Thanks again!

tethering on lenovo: connect to wifi, plug into computer, open tethering switch. but i must note that i was running aosp extended, which might have this option inbuilt. smth has to be in sourcecode. ( https://github.com/aospextended )

about the mod, the mileage was decent enough on lenovo, i just wanted to share the idea.

thanks again for the work you donate to us, which is the reason for Fino's in this community being daily drivers. :)

update-20180217

So, here is another update.

There are no big changes this time. I have only synced the LineageOS and Substratum repos and made some changes on the kernel (taken directly from motorola's msm8226 LineageOS kernel development) which might reduce jitter on some low latency tasks including some GPU, mmc and crypto functions.

I have tested these changes for around a week with no issues. However, during the last 5 days I have been experiencing some low battery life on my device (even in doze mode). I believe it is not related to the kernel changes and it is just my battery that is dying. If you notice any increase in battery consumption after this update, let me know so I will revert some changes.

Inverted bootimages are also updated so they benefit from these changes too.

Lastly, I will be concentrating on 15.1 port from now on, so except updates on this ROM to be more rare (mostly bug-fixes if anything comes out and also feature requests).

Thank you

LOS 15.1: Android Go or standard? or is Android Go neccesary?
[LG L Fino ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] christpp:
Since Android GO is designed for 1GB ram or less, I might go for it. But that limits the capabilities of some Apps, which might produce a crippled experience. I guess I will decide after some testing.
[LG L Fino ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] eurodiesel:
oh, i see. good luck then.

meanwhile i spotted some quirks. first, when i long press pwr bttn for torch when screen is off, only thing i get is an lcd backlight, when pressed once again, the flashlight fires up and display turns on. (do i need to send a logcat?). not sure whether its a bug, but id like to torch turn off when pwr bttn is pressed once after turning it on. or maybe i got addicted to AEX.

second, the mp3 playback either plays in slowmo or makes you think that chipmunks are singing your songs. this happens randomly.

third, im unable to play wma files. not a big deal tho.

as a suggestion, id like AEX 5.2 instead of LOS 15.1. but i see youre gonna build los. whatever you choose to build, my dear friend, i will always appreciate your hard work and i am 500% sure you will make the right decision. good night.

If you can find a solution for that am glad.
