I'm sorry to be that kind of guy.

I'm planning to install LineageOS on my dad's phone to get rid of bloat. It's the Brazilian variant of the Z00A (Z00AD) 1080p screen and etc...

I felt like the issues listed seem to come from a very old original post. Are these valid? Is there any major issue with the port? Anything that might screw his daily usage?

I know I should look up and read previous posts... It's just that I'm not familiar with ASUS devices and it's not my device. Thanks in regards.

Sorry to say but that seems to be a hardware issue because U had faced she problems with my phone and the culprit was A Defective Motherboard. The structure of this phone is such that If you keep it in small pockets of tight Jeans and do some activity like bending, sitting, cycling, etc then phone gets bend resulting in wear and tear of Motherboard damage.

I've installed the latest LOS nightly (20171125); it seems theres these issues, too:

Output sound quality when ringing is lower than stock rom.

During a call, LCD turns off and does not turns on again, after getting phone far from ear.

I couldn't get root access in applications after flashing addonsu (x86). however theres su binary and enabled root access for Apps and ADB:

Z00A:/ $ which su
/system/bin/su

I couldn't get my location in location applications including OsmAnd~, SatStat and Web Google Maps. (I've not installed GAPPS; is it important?).

Anyone here has got same problem(s)? Please guide me to solve them. :confused:

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] cronot:
While ASUS stock ROMs perform badly in comparison with LOS, it may not be a case to impose LOS on your dad. If it's really performing that bad, it may be a case of actually just educating your dad, to avoid installing things he doesn't actually use, and when he has to install something, teaching how to choose the best options (avoid installing apps that are too large, apps that use far too more permissions than it should require, etc.).

As LOS at the moment is a work-in-progress, you should expect problems, even if they are not included explicitly in the OP. In summary, trying to fix your dad's problems by changing the ROM in his phone might cause him (and you) more problems than you're trying to fix.

With that in mind, here's what I have to say about the issues list on the OP:

It happens, but not as often as you'd think. The only example off the top of my head is the one on the OP: Asus Pixelmaster Camera; but even then, there are workarounds (disable optimization on settings, and don't save pictures to SD card). I can't think of any other app I'd had this problem - playing back Whatsapp videos, for example, works fine every time, although sending your own videos might have issues (I usually had them when trying to send videos shot with the Pixelmaster camera, though, I believe with the builtin camera on Whatsapp it should work).

True, but very few LOS supported devices support FM Radio anyway - at this point I just take for granted that if I want to put LOS on any device, FM radio is something that's not going to work. And it's not something I use anyway, and when I need it, TuneIn radio or some other app like it is an acceptable workaround.

This is an issue only if you use 2 sims - not my case. I did have to use 2 sims temporarily some time ago, though, and I'm pretty sure I was able to disable any of the sims at will. I may be misremembering this though, it's been a while.

I haven't had any such problems with GAPPS. Then again, I don't use any of the apps mentioned at the bottom.

True, but also true that Miracast mirroring works, so it's kind of a moot point.

This is the Theme Engine, and from a quick google it seems that LOS team actually has dropped development on it entirely. Not something your dad is going to care though...

I'm pretty sure this has been abandoned as well, but I may be wrong. I haven't used it for a long time, I've been using Solid Explorer instead.

BTW: This is all based on my own experience with LOS 14, on a brazilian variant of the Z00A, just like your dad's. And a rather old build at that, from May 19th. I've been meaning to update to a newer build, but the posts I've been seeing here about a lot of issues that people have been experiencing (that I do not currently have) for the past few months haven't been encouraging...

Yo, someone recomend flash lineage Os?? Tve last time i flashed have, some problems with the camera... Now are they fixed?? I hope so....

So. Someone recomend flashes... Im in stock marshmallow
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] zbzdoncorleone:
I'd definitely recommend it over stock marshmallow. It's much faster and more secure due to recent security updates. It's not completely free of minor bugs, though. Sometimes mobile data or GPS gets stuck and you need to reboot. Camera works fine if you disable optimisation.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Xentz:
ok thanks.

what do you prefer lineageOs or resurection remix or other Rom, which one do you recomend.

Thanks for you advice.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] septimvs80:
Unfortunately that's only true for other phones, not this one. On Z00A, lineage still uses kernel 3.10 (and not even the most recent of the series!), which reached End of Life two months ago. That means that the kernel hasn't received any real security updates for two months, and, most importantly, won't receive any in the future. Don't be fooled by the security date string in the settings, it's almost meaningless without an updated kernel. I guess lineage development for this phone is basically dead, so I doubt that kernel will be upgraded to 4.4 as it happened for other phones. The only real "recommendation" is to switch to another phone whose lineage mod is actually being taken care of. After all, right now we're in a period of money-spending and gifts. Merry Christmas!
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] zbzdoncorleone:
Thanks for the update, I didn't know that. Sucks, guess I'll really have to look for an alternative...
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] nutcasev1.5:
Don't write us off. We still got fight left in us. There are custom kernels which are updated to latest 3.10. As for 4.4, its possible. We can make it happen. It just so happens that all the devs here are mostly teenagers who are dealing with college entrances right now, so no one is free. But don't write us off.

Merry Christmas

Camera doesn't save on external memory.

Hi, I've got a problem, I'm on 20171216 nightly (clean flash) and none of the camera app I installed (even the stock Google camera) can save photos on external SD card, i also tried Pixelmaster Camera as system app but, when I select sd card as storage, suddenly turn back to internal memory.

I also tried to edit packages.xml adding permission WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE but still no luck.

The problem is present also with other rom like Slim7, so I think is related to LOS 14.1, I searched over the web but I didn't found anything specific to the camera apps, only for file manager that works perfectly in my case.

Any solution?

PS. i tried with three different sd cards.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] tank0412:
LOL.

Kernel can get security updates even if Linux stop providing patches for 3.10 kernel.

It is almost means nothing that 3.10 is deprecated.

There you can see CVE patches for Nexus 5 with his 3.4 kernel:

https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/st...e_msm8974+branch:cm-14.1+topic:CVE-2017-13167
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] VastoBrian:
Anyone tried smart locks, face unlock? Is it broken on our device running LOS?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] J@ckr@bbit19:
As far as I know, it doesn't work on x86 devices....works only on arm-based devices.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] septimvs80:
Of course one can try to independently update deprecated kernels, especially those for phones that are made by the very same company that owns the Android project itself and releases the well-known Android Security Bulletins exactly for those phones, that other phone makers have to adapt to their products instead.

Unfortunately, here's the situation for Z00A (not sure if the second repository has to do with kernel, I'm listing it anyways):

https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/st...android_kernel_asus_moorefield+branch:cm-14.1 (last update: October 30th)

https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/st...ageOS/android_device_asus_Z00A+branch:cm-14.1 (last update: April 7th)

I guess that staying up-to-date with the Kernel LTS releases would probably be savvier in this case, don't you think...?

In the case of Z00A, it simply means that right now it is as secure as cheddar cheese.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] nutcasev1.5:
Name one exploit that we are vulnerable to.

I personally ensure that the lineage kernel gets the exploits patched. You can see the commits that I'm related to on the link that you gave. You can rest easy.

Linux kernel updates are like bug fix & feature updates. It's much like how Microsoft released patches for xp after wannacry. We are xp. If there is a vulnerability. We have the source. I or whoever else is the kernel maintainer will patch it. So stop with the insecure argument.

You want updates, try Holo Kernel. It's at 3.10.107 with the latest tool chains. It's as secure as lineage. It's built on the lineage kernel.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] septimvs80:
I definitely can rest easy now that I have a new phone. These are the linux kernel CVEs that have been published since October 30th (i.e., after the last Z00A kernel update):

https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerab...ax=0&year=2017&month=11&cweid=0&order=1&trc=0

However, from a strictly linguistic point of view, you might be right. Since the 3.10 series reached End Of Life in October, no one will even care about publishing new CVEs for it anymore. That's extremely encouraging.

Merry Christmas!
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] nutcasev1.5:
Did a quick glance at it. It's much more complicated that you think it is.

The gist is that, yes, CVEs come out but as you can see on some commits, they only affect specific drivers & other specific stuff. We don't have the Nvidia driver which has a high priority vulnerability.

No one needs to release patches for 3.10. They can be backported & they are backported. The Krack fixes were not included as kernel updates for 3.10 but we have em. That's the beauty of open-source. You can do anything with the code.

So please stop this. Our phone is outdated but it's still quite secure. These two things are mutually exclusive in the open source community.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] goosnarrggh:
[edit: I was right the first time]

The Nexus 6P is built on the 3.10 kernel. It is still actively supported by Google.

Additionally, the VAST majority of security-related patches that are developed for the 3.10 kernel in the Nexus 6P will be *DIRECTLY APPLICABLE* to all other Android devices based on the same major kernel version.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] jyotkarshraj:

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] nutcasev1.5:
Google the lineage Gerrit. The change should be in the android_device_asus_mofd-common project. The branch is cm-14.1. It's got to do with sampling rates. The fix here is hardware & vendor lib specific, so can't help other phones here.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] anonuser0007:
Guys, anyone knows the reason why our device hasn't received TWRP 3.2.1 still??:confused:
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] krasCGQ:
In addition to what everyone else have said:

If you want new kernel updates directly from kernel.org instead, go and buy a phone which uses 4.4 kernel with good development like Pixel 2/2 XL, OnePlus 5/5T, Galaxy S8/S8+, Note 8, and more. They're using 4.4 kernel and updates to 4.4 will be guaranteed until February 2022.

Having 3.10 EOL doesn't mean anything. We kernel developers can backport CVE patches from newer kernels.

Have a nice day.

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] septimvs80:
Except that you aren't doing that. Not for this phone at least, as the source itself proves (did you actually read the discussion?):

https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/st...android_kernel_asus_moorefield+branch:cm-14.1 (last Z00A kernel update: October 30)

https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerab...ax=0&year=2017&month=11&cweid=0&order=1&trc=0 (all the kernel vulnerabilities that have been discovered afterwards)

Besides the fact that manually patching deprecated kernels instead of upgrading them to maintained versions would sound frightening to any decent infosec experts.

And I've already done that, if you actually cared to read the discussion. Surely I'm not using an unmaintained phone that is as safe to use as a Windows XP machine.

I was pointing out that it is irresponsible for Lineage to list Z00A among the "supported" devices when it is clearly not supported anymore.

---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ----------

For the very same reason why the kernel hasn't been updated for two months: lineageos for this phone is basically unmaintained. Buy a different phone.

Merry Christmas!
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] tank0412:
As far as i know if kernel sources does not have some major security patches, it will be removed from hudson which means that new official LineageOS builds will not come up until mainainer patch sources.

But hudson has Z00A and Z008 in list so things is not too bad.:laugh:
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] bernardobas:
Any decent infosec expert would have a heart stroke, a headache and diarrea with the idea of unlocking the bootloader, installing a custom rom, rooting, etc.

So our beloved EOL patched kernel is as secure as installing a rom.

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] fcan:
Hey everyone, so I have been using LineageOS for almost 3 months now(October Build). I just would like to give some feedback about my experience.

First of all, it is much more stable and fast than Asus firmware. 7.1 Android, multiscreen support, lineageos goodies and also moderate increase in battery life. There are some minor problems regarding the Bluetooth, Wifi and Wifi Hotspot stability. Time to time phone restarts itself when I use those functions. In addition to this, I am experiencing this weird glitch where phone screen ends up in screen like a TV static. I am not sure if it is a hardware or software problem though. So, because of these problems I have clean flashed the latest build, 23/12/2017. I will use it as long as it stays stable and try to give feedback in the future. One last thing, in the latest build, you have to manually make the "Phone app" the default phone application in the application settings otherwise you can not answer incoming calls.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] KwongTN:
Afaik, its a problem with the GPU driver. Builds that are of LineageOS and/or based on Lineage have this problem.

To solve it, Disable HW Overlays in the developer options.

The downside, you'll have to re-disable it every restart, but I think it's worth it ?

I'm doing it for all devices I currently maintain (ido, mido).

Easier to be said than to be done. Not as easy as upgrading your desktop kernel from one version to another new provided by your distro (yep, my 8 years old Netbook is running mainline kernel with no issues). You need to put much effort into it (forward-porting, etc), which not everyone is willing to do unless you're as thug as guys from sonyxperiadev.

Instead, let me attach this for everyone to read, especially the last paragraph.

If I use your logic, then all devices running kernels older than 3.18 won't be supported at all just because they're running so-called EOL kernel, including my ido which is running the EOL 3.10 kernel. :rolleyes:
