It's the clock widget
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
And weather and calendar widget if you wish.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] maybeme2:
Thank you.

For weather, the cLock asks for access to location or setting a 'custom location'. I don't have location enabled on my phone so I would like to set a custom location. But that option is grayed out. Any idea how to set a custom location for the widget?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
Sorry, I use energy saving (NLP) location with unifiedNLP
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] maybeme2:
OK, I gave up and turned location on, but I can't find a weather provider that clock will use. I installed several to try but I can't integrate it into cLock. It asks me to add a weather provider but no matter which one I install cLock doesn't use it or see it.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Which provider do you find works?

Thanks.

Need to bring back the theme engine that substratum took over most of those don't work for lineage
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] BIZaGoten:
I just got LineageOS yesterday and either I can't find the settings or they don't exist.

I'd want option to edit the name of my tele-provider(upper left corner) and have that text show without having to swipe down the settings.

Option to turn off the light that turns on whenever I charge the phone.

Option to only show the battery percentage and not the little battery icon.

Option to always have the 'Clear all' option available when you wanna turn off apps without having to scroll to make it pop up.

Basically I just want more customizations :)

Add all the features of OEM stock ROMs that are not present in lineageos makes the ROM more friendlier to user and mould them to support all the legacy devices too
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] droideastcoast:
Have options of allowing apps to run in background or not including lineageOS apps. Im not a fan of apps running in background and using up memory, battery, data, ect. If i close an app it should stay closed and not run in the background. Cm let cm apps run in background.

I'd really like to have signature spoofing permission "a la OMNIRom", so people could use microG instead of the crappy Gapps without resorting to XPosed modules or cumbersome patches.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] rav101:
I would love a few things:

1) A stock launcher experience that is much more cusromisable (a la Nova).

2) The ability to remove the SU icon from the launcher. Better yet it would integrate phh superuser (which I believe is open source)and allow better integration for magisk and better SU compatibility as the built in one seems to fall over with some apps.

3) Substratum theme engine. Not because CTME hasn't been ported yet but because it will also lead to standardisation.

4) OTA support for incremental updates with the option to a full ROM download if you want. This would save a lot of time, data and allow people to do updates out and about rather than having to wait for Wi-Fi.

[MENTION=6040719]RockyTV[/MENTION], would it be worth compiling people's suggestions into your OP. It would offer a consolidated list for any developer to consider whether they would want to look at any of these things.

I would like lineage should provide a core functionality like Google. Back up of contacts, message, call log, calender, book marks, gallery and everything
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Ibuprophen:
One suggestion is reflected based based upon the Cyanogenmod Forums...

If, and/or when, a LineageOS forums page is released, i hope they manage it better than they did with the Cyanogenmod forums.

Too many (if not the majority) of the posted questions went unanswered or lacked a real answer. I also noticed that some answers that were from another member were sometimes undone by a Cyanogenmod Admin and resulted in no answers provided in the end.

This mishandling of the Cyanogenmod Forums just resulted in a lack of confidence with the forums and most individuals abandoned even posting anything as a result.

XDA, on the other hand, encourages both their Administrators and even members helping other members no matter how minor the question is.

In closing, any LineageOS Forums should consider looking at the handling of the Cyanogenmod Forums and compare it to, as well as taking a lesson from, the XDA Forums. XDA isn't perfect but, is always looking to improve via feedback or another avenue.

I personally was a Moderating Administrator for a tiny portion of a Government Forum entity before i retired.

Thanks a Bunch and I wish LineageOS the best of luck and high hopes with their 2017 launch!

Probably a recovery system not just for lineage itself? In general, long support for as many devices as possible is more important than some features you could realize with 3rd party stuff.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] RockyTV:
I've edited the OP and included a list of features (not all of them are there). I'm opting to include suggestions for the ROM itself and not including Google or anything related to it because, as far as I know, they can't ship Lineage with Google Apps.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] bray424:
Bringing back contacts integration with Facebook would be nice, although I'm not sure if that's even a feature in the fb app anymore.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] hetor99:
i only want the CMTE, it is the best theme engine, and is the function that made cyanogenmod unique
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Zombie Feynman:
Do you mean remote backup? Because I imagine the costs of that would be prohibitive. Maybe the ability to synchronise with a user-owned server/PC, though. Of course, anything that makes us less reliant on Google's stuff would be great, as half of it is bloatware anyway (I'm a bit miffed that I have to install 112MB of GApps to be able to use the Play Store).

(Disclaimer for what follows: I don't own any devices which support LinOS 14.x at the moment; I'm basing this on what's in 13.0.)

One feature I'd love to see is full support for rotation in all default apps, and the ability to configure the rotation of the lock screen from the settings. Right now I have to add "lockscreen.rot_override=true" to build.prop every time I update my system, in order to get the lock screen to auto-rotate to landscape on my phone. Also, some interfaces get clipped off in landscape mode in LinOS 13.0, etcetera. Basically, some more attention to making sure everything works 100% with full auto-rotation would be nice.

Some more things: bring back the ability have a fully expanded volume interface by default (like in CM12), and add the ability to stop the camera/screenshot shutter sounds from the settings (right now I have to remove the sound files, which is of course very kludgy).

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] neokragu:
Own cloud based sync also very good. I dont want to install google play services. But I want to use Google maps. without play services it is impossible. for that purpose only I have installed play services. If lineage provide option to use Google maps without play services i will get rid of paly services. Also lineage should provide basic sync options like carddev, caldev, sms sync & bookmark sync. then many people will not use google.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] LilAnt530:
Stack features in so many places nobody would remember what G-apps were? I'll try to give a rough idea here;

Simplicity;

Dialer app mods, stack on a contact storage within the dialer itself, give it T9search functionality, maybe use a small analytical applet to really refine & create a management system/favorites system from the frequent data...

Messaging (SMS), I think something that integrated SMS/IMS together similar to what the BlackBerry Messenger app did, would be interesting, especially with all the extra space & resources these apps take up now, (Facebook, Hangouts, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Signal, Facebook messenger, +How Many?) Lol, im sure all of those + 6mths of user data could easily take up a good 3GB or more..... It'd be really cool to see if there was a way to successfully pack email & actual IM services into this as well.

Settings;

Throw in heavy customization options on the stock Camera app, Launcher app, + cloud sync within stock Gallery & Music apps,

Just essentially fill in blanks where CM fell short of Nova Launcher, Samsungs stock camera app, and also juicing it to fill in that space between installing the G-apps package, & having a truly custom, independent sort of experience.

A theme manager? I would have to say the last theme manager i used from OxygenOS was pretty epic.... That+Arcus was seamless 100% perfect. But could have a separate platform for themers along with a more user friendly store type alternative like Samsungs new addition to TouchWiz.

Cant think of anything else at the moment but im sure I will end up having edits, seeing a few of these comments so far has really gotten my brain turning, Sorry if I got off topic at all, but this is the future so I felt like including a penny into the jar :D

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] grefnab:
Bundle with F-Droid, add a LineageOS repository

Idea outline:

Provide API for and built-in F-Droid Privileged Extension, see https://gitlab.com/fdroid/privileged-extension

Thus have a Store, with automatic updates, and all bells and whistles

Ship with F-Droid pre-installed and a LineageOS repository (like Guardian Project) pre-configured

Add essential apps (Launcher, Locker) to LineageOS repository

Use "unstable update" marker in F-Droid to beta test new versions of essential apps

For additional features and basic apps, reuse what's already done. For instance:

Location Services: UnifiedNLP with LocalWifiNlpBackend, ...

WebDAV: DAVdroid, Tasker, Etar

Mail: K9 Mail, K9-Pep

Messenger: Conversations, Kontalk, QKSMS

Music: Vanilla Music, ...

If required, custom branches of these apps can live in LineageOS repository

Provide two ROM types:

Minimal ROM (release/weekly), with essential apps only (Launcher, Settings, Locker, ...)

Typical ROM (release), a fully featured ROM with curated basic apps pre-installed

Key Advantages:

Developer Effort most efficiently used, most precious resource saved

Faster time to market, because much is already done

Higher quality, through reuse of work and joined efforts

More innovation, because ideas and versions become easily publishable, like apps

Developers happy, because LineageOS is clean at its core

Enthusiasts happy, because they can built on a Minimal release ROM, with essential Apps only.

End Users happy, because they can use a Typical release ROM, with curated basic Apps pre-installed.

Step towards incremental updates (for instance, new Launcher pushed through LineageOS repository).

Major step towards fully featured ROM, without any proprietary apps or services.

Like a package manager transforms a static installation ISO into a living GNU/Linux distribution,

One framework will solve most problems, provide most features ever suggested.

This will make everybody happy.

LineageOS -- the complete ROM!​

1. Built in support for OPENVPN

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 PM ----------

CAF support
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Zombie Feynman:
That would be awesome, especially if it could support tap devices. I had to resort to a paid app that offers tap emulation, because I couldn't find any other good way to get bridged OpenVPN on CM13+.

Relatedly, it would be great if Lineage had a good iptables front-end built in. At least there are free apps that offer sufficient control for this, but since it's a pretty essential security feature, you shouldn't have to rely on third parties for it. Maybe offer a standard ad-blocking hosts file too. Offering excellent security and enhanced privacy out of the box would be an excellent selling point for Lineage.

Fast Charging
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Summer Son:
Autolock phone after call end

I would like to suggest a feature I miss since the day I left iPhones.

Use case:

If your phone was locked (even insecure swipe screen lock!) and you've got an incoming call, when it was finished the phone gets locked back again. Here in Android we're getting to Phone app instead and have to lock screen manually by pressing the Power button.

I suggest to lock the phone on call end if it was locked before the incoming call.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] robertbarber:
I would like to see things like the bricked hotplug and adreno idler added again to help with battery life and would like to see the ability to have the apps that start at boot presented as a list so you can easily disable them instead of having to go to each one individually. I would also like to see floating peek which is a feature that Paranoid Android had in their Marshmallow ROM's which allowed you when you got a notification from hangouts for example to open it in a floating window and interact with out without having to leave whatever app your were in when the notification came in. Fling, pule, and smartbar from DU would be nice as well.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] lfuentes:
I would like to see two features in LinageOS.

1.- Live Display, as in Moto X (the possibility of passing the hand over the phone to see the notifications and wake up the screen).

2. In QuickSettings, the possibility of having more than 3 rows, like a CM12. I hate tile "Edit tiles"

And I'd like to ask for one more thing: Keep (like Debian) updates of the "old stable ROM" (MM currently). While Nougat is the latest version, with its nightlies, it would be good that once a month a MM snapshot is released with the new kernel and the latest security patches
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] rav101:
Hey guys,

I love Xposed and what it allows you to do. However, we all know its one big hack and with each android version gets harder to implement. I would essentially like to see more Xposed modules make it into ROMs as standard.

To call one out in particular, I would love to see the functionality of Amplify (limit but not necessarily block Wakelocks and Alarms) built into Lineage. Its one of my absolutely must have apps to improve battery life and with Lineage 14.1 that's really taken a hit for me.

The ability to update your phone in the background, like in vanilla nought
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] rav101:
Unless you're talking about on the Pixel devices, this is something that will wait for newer devices and if manufacturers decide to implement it.

Google made two of each partition to make this background update happen so not something you can do easily on a device that's already shipped.

Additionally, you are reducing the amount of storage left in the internal storage partition compared to without implementing this (because of the 2nd partitions and that manufacturer ROMs are soo much more bloated than aosp).

- there isn't a statusbar on the keyguard (where you insert the pin) would be nice to have one there

- directly show pin entry if there are no notifications (like in gravitybox)

- ambient screen wont work if phone isn't locked, so if I set my phone to not lock if screen goes off the ambient display wont work (i like to set it on 5 minutes but that means the ambient screen doesn't work for 5 minutes)

- volume buttons waking device without graying out the 'control playback'

- a reverse portait mode (like idol 3/4) separate of the auto rotation

Nice camera.... And NYC camera app...coz cm had a sucked camera app
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Zombie Feynman:
Just throwing ideas around here: how about offering a minimalist build with virtually no apps installed (no browser, email app, camera, etcetera) so users can pick their own favourite apps for those purposes without having to bother removing system apps they never use?

On the other end of the spectrum, there are some excellent third-party FLOSS apps that far exceed the capabilities of the stock ones, and it may be nice to have those bundled with the normal (non-minimalist) build instead of the current defaults. OpenCamera and K-9 Mail are particularly outstanding examples.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] lfuentes:
Some more things: As said for others, trebuchet could be very good if it was more like Nova is: gestures to run any app, the ability to hide apps frome drawer and to change the size of icons.

In email client: add different actions for swipe right and left, not only "archive"

Wi-Fi band selection

Since Android 7.0 the Wi-Fi band selection was removed, but it would be good if we could explicitly specify the band the phone will use. As for me, I don't care about speed at 5 GHz, but would rather have a better coverage at 2.4 GHz. Even if my router is set to 2.4 GHz only, why would my phone continuously scan 5 GHz band?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] SRIHARI_GUY:
The return of Boot Sounds . Because after the widening of our Communities , Many of us wanted to have their favourite sounds to be played through Boot . I've once read a CyanogenMod reply saying bootsound is one of the less used features of a ROM so they would drop support for it. As such, there is no bootsound support in any CyanogenMod ROM.

CM7 ROMs would still have bootsound support and just remove bootsound execution on startup, but CM9+ ROMs have dropped all the code necessary for bootsound right off the kernel.

I guess adding bootsound back is a real PITA even for advanced users since not even developers on the XDA forums added it back.I guess we need to figure out the code and add it to the source code of LineageOS .What's your thoughts ?
