Respect squid2 for your excellent work. Is there any chance the front camera issue will be fixed in 14.1?

Also, I'm not sure what's the reason, maybe latest lineage update - I noticed fast battery draining by Phone Innactive process while using the phone without SIM card, just wifi.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] squid2:
The front camera works fine for me. What is the issue you face?
[E 2015 Original Android Development] sasukay:
[MENTION=6485916]squid2[/MENTION], are you the original maintainer of LOS official cuz I see another build of Aug 11th, on LOS website and yours Aug8th build is tagged unofficial.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] general.nie7:
Since some update few months ago (can't say exactly when), it kinda freezes in the moment you try to take a picture. I click the button, button disappears as if it was about to save the pic, but nothing happens and I can't do anything else, as it behaves like during the processing. Camera works fine, shows everything, could be use for videocall, just doesn't take pictures.

The same for different camera apps, same in Whatsapp. I wasn't the only one with that problem:

Perhaps there is something that can be done without a clean reinstall?
[E 2015 Original Android Development] squid2:
Thanks for the report. I will look into this.

EDIT: I have a fix. https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/LineageOS/android_kernel_motorola_msm8916/+/224377/
[E 2015 Original Android Development] general.nie7:
You're so fast! Respect.

Another issue that I forgot to mention in the previous post - could be overlooked as probably almost no one uses it anymore - exporting contacts to SIM card doesn't seem to work.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] squid2:
The I classified the front camera bug as urgent, since it must be fully functional to comply with the LineageOS charter. For SIM card contact export - I may look into this when I have time, but to be honest it’s a low priority for me since as you say, almost nobody uses it. I’m going to be shifting focus to official LineageOS 15.1 shortly, and I think a lot more people are interested in that.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] kurtn:
Playing around with WiFi I recognised this is an issue with my WiFi repeater. As soon as I get close to the DSL box I can register. Never seen this with any other device. With squid kernel it works near the repeater also. [MENTION=6485916]squid2[/MENTION] please feel free to ask for digging deeper.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] MotoJunkie01:
Much thanks [MENTION=6485916]squid2[/MENTION] for your ceaseless support and contributions for the Surnia. For $40 and less, I must say that the Surnia received more development support than any other budget smartphone I've ever seen. [MENTION=6485916]squid2[/MENTION] I know you develop for many devices -- Moto and others -- and I'm truly grateful for the continued custom ROM, custom kernel and custom recovery support that you have given to the Surnia.

I have a XT1526 from Republic Wireless, but i used it in Venezuela with a GSM provider. Can i flash this ROM?
[E 2015 Original Android Development] caiqueabp:
is this rom 64bit? should i use 7.0 or 7.1 gapps?
[E 2015 Original Android Development] kraehetest:
This is 32 bit version.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] mmortal03:
So. I went back to the stock rom and then did the above, and it fixed my problem where I was only getting 3G on FreedomPop -- I was afterwards getting LTE on the moto xt1526 stock rom Android 5.1. However, I then flashed my phone back to Lineage OS 14.1, and I'm stuck at 3G again. I've also tried flashing the modem while on Lineage OS 14.1, but that hasn't seemed to make any difference. I've also tried installing MVNOSlayer_R4, but that also hasn't seemed to make any difference. Any ideas on getting 4G LTE working on Lineage OS 14.1?
[E 2015 Original Android Development] MotoJunkie01:
I would urge you to get in touch with [MENTION=7313305]Buzbee2[/MENTION] here on XDA. He is considered an expert on FreedomPop configurations on the xt1526.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] xda_dentex:
Hello,

Sorry to bump here with a straight question (I had a quick look around and found not much info): I have a device of a friend of mine with, I suppose, this ROM. I'm attaching some screenshots below for the details. It seems that the sim is not recognized. It works if inserted in other devices. Is it possible to do something to fix this problem? Maybe is there another working ROM that he can switch to?

Thanks in advance.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] kurtn:
My guess: this is a hardware issue. Try to apply contact cleaner on sim contacts.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] xda_dentex:
Well, the SIM is brand new; anyway I'll try, thanks.

(...and maybe it's worth trying with another SIM also, to be sure it's the device and not the single SIM).

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

I tried with another Sim. It's the same. It's not seen.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] uaiclout:
Maybe there is dust in your sim slot
[E 2015 Original Android Development] NyteNyte:
Hi im using the last version of this rom and when im about to verify the phone number it says "whatsapp is unnable"
[E 2015 Original Android Development] kurtn:
Don't give WhatsApp the phone permission. Use the sim in some phone, were you know SMS works.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] xda_dentex:
Thanks. I'll try again and I'll see also if we have updated versions.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] general.nie7:
Does anyone know any way to increase the speaker volume? It's super low compared to the stock. I don't want to increase headphones and in-call volume, only the speaker while playing multimedia.

And I'm wondering [MENTION=6485916]squid2[/MENTION] if you still work on on Lineage 15 for Surnia? 14.1 is good enough, but it would be incredible to see stable 15 on this phone!
[E 2015 Original Android Development] kurtn:
Smash the phone on your palm. The speaker sits in 5 o'clock position and has sometimes a bad electrical contact.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] squid2:
I am working on LineageOS 15.1 for surnia (and all the other Motorola msm8916 devices). I had gotten busy for a while, so I had taken a 4-5 month break from working on Android, but I'm back at it now. I'm running my own builds of LOS 15.1 on surnia now. I just need to fix a few bugs in an official-friendly manner (device-only GPS and VoLTE for surnia). I won't make 15.1 official till I'm 100% satisfied with its state on this device and it complies with official support requirements.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] general.nie7:
That's really great to hear. Are these early builds available somewhere to test and help finding bugs?
[E 2015 Original Android Development] _dud3:

Monthly releases of 14 while next version is prepared.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] Xornado:
Hi I'm using the lastest 14.1. and I can't switch to the front camera.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] general.nie7:
Sorry to niggle you [MENTION=6485916]squid2[/MENTION] but is there any estimated date (approximate) of 15.1 release or some pre-release build available?

It's just that one family member's Surnia desperately needs clean install and to avoid the hassle of upgrading I'd like to do it with 15.1 already, in case it would be available soon. :)

Cheers and respect for your polished ROMs.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] goosnarrggh:
FYI, we're slowly edging closer and closer to the LineageOS project being ready for a 16.0 release. When that happens, any devices such as Surnia that are still on 14.1 will be dropped from the build roster. If [MENTION=6485916]squid2[/MENTION] doesn't think that the 15.1 changes for Surnia are ready to make public by that time, then the official installation 14.1 images which are currently available will begin to expire and be removed from the download page.

When (or if) the 15.1 changes become clean and mature enough for official consideration, then hopefully new official download links would start to appear.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] Sid32:
If we get 15.1 or higher will we see them as a in phone update or will we have to search, download in a browser?
[E 2015 Original Android Development] kurtn:
Is this your personal guess or can you share the source of this information?
[E 2015 Original Android Development] goosnarrggh:
First of all, I cite precedence. This is exactly what happened with all LOS 13 devices when 15.1 became official.

Second, I refer back to comments made by project directors on LOS's official subreddit at the time 15.1 was first officially released. They said that they intended to actively support only two major versions at a time: current, and (current - 1). Unsupported versions would stop getting new builds. At the moment that is 14.1 and 15.1. Soon it's going to be 16 and 15.1.

We already know that old builds on the download site are automatically deleted after a fixed period of time. With no new builds queued to replace them, the consequence is obvious.

There is nothing, of course, stopping anyone from sumbitting ongoing updates to the 14.1 codebase, just as we currently see security patches still being submitted on (at least) the 12.1 and 13 branches of the generic device-independent repositories. It's much less common to see patches sumbitting to the device-specific repos of devices that were left behind on discontinued branches, but it does happen on rare occasions. But no official builds. It's up to users private to get together and produce their own unofficial builds.

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------

Major version updates do not automatically install themselves because they generally rely upon manual updates to add-ons such as GApps. If they did auto-update, then things would be unreasonably likely to accidentally break.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] nabav:
New on this beautfiul site!

Hoping for a new version of Lineage (Oreo/Pie), at the same time, I would proceed to installi the current 14.1

Could I have a guide for installing the Lineage on my Moto E2?

Thanks for the great work of squid2 :)
[E 2015 Original Android Development] kurtn:
Have a look at lineageOS wiki and make sure you have the device you think to have. Compare the XT number

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/surnia
[E 2015 Original Android Development] nabav:
Yes, I have the Surnia XT1524 :good:

All I have to do is to follow step by step these instrunctions?

Q?: Lineage is the best way to mod the smartphone? I readt about Pixel and other custom rom
[E 2015 Original Android Development] kurtn:
Yes. Follow instructions. As as soon as lineageOS is installed, you can easily switch to other custom ROMs. Most of them are based on lineageOS. So don't expect big differences in core functions. Main difference is customisation.

Another point is android version. This really makes a difference. I usually stay with oldest android version that gets security updates. For surnia that us nougat.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] nabav:
Yes done!

But I installed SuperSu v2.82 (in recovery mode) instead of addonsu14.1 arm.signed, because the latter was not accepted by TWRP. And how can I cover the warning message with a logo.bin ... the correct procedure is ...?

Thank you
[E 2015 Original Android Development] kurtn:
Twrp app is s**t. Don't use it. Don't let twrp mess with root. Simply wipe system and data and flash lineageOS again.

[E 2015 Original Android Development] nabav:
I follow the guide... and why I have to reinstall Lineage OS?

I installed the twrp.img not the app!

All is done except the boot logo

edit

Logo installed!
[E 2015 Original Android Development] kurtn:
Reinstallation is the best method to remove superSU. If addonsu doesn't work, use magisk. Or no root.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] nabav:
I installed superSu from chainfire. If I want I can remove it directly from Lineage

The phone is rooted (tried with Root Checker)

I 'll be waiting the new Oreo ;)

and...

Is there a list of suggested light apps for this E2?

I also installed F-Droid.

Thanks
[E 2015 Original Android Development] kurtn:
Not installing GApps is the way to a light setup. Depending on what Google services you use, microG can be an alternative. For that and a list of apps, have a look at nanodroid.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] nabav:
Installed GApp pico (as Lineage guide). WhatsApp occupy many space. Otherwise, there is no a light version of it. I want to use the "must have" (ex. for adblock I downloaded Adaway). I don't know about MicroG or nano. For this reason I preferred to have the PlayStore as default. Anyway, the Lineage apps are very essential and useful

[E 2015 Original Android Development] general.nie7:
For Surnia I would definitely recommend no-google setup. Not only good for privacy reasons, the performance and battery is much, much better. F-Droid + YALP/Aurora Store and you'll be amazed by how snappy it can be.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] nabav:
I agree with you, but is there an alternative to WhatsApp on other appstore? All people use that :(

And, at this point, how can I do if I decide to remove the PlayStore?

The target is to make Surnia more fast and enjoiable
[E 2015 Original Android Development] kurtn:
Yes that is a too big step for most WhatsApp users. All your friends and family use it. But you can use WhatsApp without GApps. Get yalp from f-droid. Get WhatsApp from yalp. Disable battery optimisation for WhatsApp. Don't try to backup or restore conversations with Google cloud. Backup and restore contacts in a local vcf file.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] nabav:
And with "System app remover" could I disinstall all traces of PlayStore or I need to flash again the OS?

If possible, please, give me more info about to choose the best way for the Surnia!
[E 2015 Original Android Development] kurtn:
Best way to remove GApps is clean flash. Wipe system and data.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] nabav:
OK, I have to reboot in TWRP, select Wipe > Advanced Wipe > System and Data?

And keep superSU or remove it?
[E 2015 Original Android Development] general.nie7:
Yes, that's what you have to do.

I would also recommend clean flash. In the end it's faster and easier. As kurtn mentioned, Whatsapp can be downloaded from Aurora or Yalp Store, but also directly from WhatsApp website if you search for "whatsapp apk" from your phone. Good luck.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] nabav:
But I lost the OS :mad:

Why don't you say about it (message alert)?

Now, I need to install it from the USB OTG

And whatelse will be reinstalled?
[E 2015 Original Android Development] kurtn:
It's a completely fresh installation. But you keep your photos, downloads etc. So you should be able to reflash from internal SD. And you can always backup system and data. If you don't like the new setup you can restore the old one.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] nabav:
No SD installed, and no files in my phone (at the moment). I am searching in F-droid for app. I hope we can discuss about in others thread, if off topic here... A backup is necessary. I'll do it and save to PC.

[E 2015 Original Android Development] kurtn:
Sorry about your no files situation. Did you wipe more than system and data?

[E 2015 Original Android Development] nabav:
I want to say that I have not files on my Motorola. No problem, I cleaned System a d Data [emoji106]

Adaway request root and after installation of superSU, it works! Installed app social as apk (WA and sFB Lite). For I am free of PlayStore but in f-droid I don't find Barcode Scanner.

[E 2015 Original Android Development] kurtn:
GApps, microG with Google sync Adapter nextcloud or any other cloud service. /e/.. I'm not an expert in calendar sync. Someone help?
[E 2015 Original Android Development] nabav:
The other user also recommended flash / clean and not to use Google services / apps

Offline calendar is perfect!

Amaze or MiXplorer (with pdf addon)!?The MuPDF is not very good...

Very tasty apps in F-droid (FOSS)

I seen that few apps occupy more ram in process view (like OsmAnd+)

Goodbye LineageOS 14.1 (Changelog-22/)
[E 2015 Original Android Development] diafero:
I finally got around to upgrade to the latest LineageOS for surnia. This mostly went very well, but unfortunately I am running into the following issue:

For me, it's actually more when going *into* WiFi range. I did not have this issue with CM 13, this only started after upgrading to LineageOS 14.1. Is there any update on this, any way to work around the problem? Has the patch from that unofficial build been incorporated into mainline since then?
[E 2015 Original Android Development] xdasunil:

[E 2015 Original Android Development] kurtn:
There is one in lineage.microg.org
[E 2015 Original Android Development] goosnarrggh:
That is expected. Old builds are automatically deleted after 5 weeks, and version 14.1 was discontinued when 16.0 was released. So, all devices which were still stuck on 14.1 will be dropped from the official website.

If 15.1 or 16.0 are ever successfully ported to surnia, then the official downloads might come back. Otherwise, the only option from now on will be unofficial builds.
