You are right, but i have tried 3 different apk (the latest, one of november and one of june) from apkmirror, but all gave me the Same problem. So i've checked the safety net: cstprofile and basic integrity were true. So i to check if was truly passing the safety net i've tried to launch pk go and the app didn't worked. So i think that there is some "little" problems in the rom itself.

The only way to get netflix working (for me) was installing the two modules mentioned above.

Thank you anyway!! :)
[Shield Tablet Android Development] multiwirth:
I´ve checked it on my shield with magisk installed and it seems to work even without the modules.

Only magisk hide is active and HD streams are working just fine.

The rom build is the newest you can get from lineageos.org

There must be something else that causes the issue.

The only thing is that livedisplay causes a black screen while watching drm protected conten (netflix) but that´s a known bug and might never get fixed (just turn it off while watching)

Have you ever done a logcat?

You could provide one for more details so the developer can understand the issue and help you out.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] tende96:
But i was talking about lineage 15.1 not of 14.1 ?

Because in 14.1 all was working flawlessy, i've tried it.

The latest 15.1 is working good with hw acceleration enabled and the only problem i've found was the netflix issue! (But easily arranged with the two modules mentioned)
[Shield Tablet Android Development] joha386:
I am pretty confident that I read that the HW accel in 15.1 is a software fallback. So it seems working at first, even though its not the hw doing the trick.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] TiberiusRu:
The problem is localized: it seems that Nougat WiFi module uses 1x1 (2 way) handshake authorization protocol that is not included in novel devices because it is obsolescence. Instead, all new routers use 2x2 (4 way) handshake authorization. Can anyone help with that? I have tried WiFi bonding in Magisk, but I failed to install it.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] tende96:
Yes, that is what i know too, but really if you don't believe me, try the rom, is free!! For me is the best oreo, with or without hw accel working. I can play games without lag and watch netflix without problems unlike other oreo based roms.

Ps: someone say to test the hw accel you can try to run Carmagaddon if it doesnt crash, hw accel is working. I've tried the game and is working good. Have you some test that i can do to see if is working? ?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] TiberiusRu:
As I mentioned above I have now 2 tablets, one is 14.1 Official (with hw, but WiFi problems) and another 15.1 Unofficial (without hw and WiFi problems). Carmageddon is not working on Oreo (playing into sound, not video and then frozen). Even officially Oreo does not have hw fully supporting and operating that is why it's unofficial. Any ideas on how to fix WiFi issues?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] tende96:
No i don't know how to fix your problem with wifi. However to avoid misunderstanding i link here a video of my shield k1 on oreo lineage running Carmagaddon.

[youtube]IrFLugwmyHw[/youtube]
[Shield Tablet Android Development] TiberiusRu:
Great! But I was talking about original NST, not K1...
[Shield Tablet Android Development] M4rkusX:
Official 14.1 has not seen any updates for some time. Will official switch to 15.1 anytime soon?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Adai0:
It's because the device is on monthly build. There will be a new build next month: https://lineageos.org/Changelog-21/
[Shield Tablet Android Development] tende96:
I think it will switch soon to 15.1 because the latest build is very good and the hw acceleration is enabled. So is it's a matter of time i think!
[Shield Tablet Android Development] just lou:
It is?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] tende96:
Look, [youtube]IrFLugwmyHw[/youtube]
[Shield Tablet Android Development] alcopsy:
NvidiaGame work?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] tende96:
you mean the app? yes, but i can't say if the streaming services are working because i didn't use them, so i don't know
[Shield Tablet Android Development] alcopsy:
Ok, thks, i will try.

And have you netflix? work?

I will try also

Oreo is unofficial 15.1?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] tende96:
this is the rom: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603857480

and for netflix i managed to make it working with two magisk modules: "liboemcrypto disabler" & "magiskhide props config" so now i have all working good!
[Shield Tablet Android Development] alcopsy:
Thank you :o
[Shield Tablet Android Development] tende96:
your welcome! pls report if all is working good or if you find bug or have questions! it will help the developer! :D

ps: gapps are not included!
[Shield Tablet Android Development] alcopsy:
How you know this updated unofficial?!!

And where found this info for magisk module work for netflix? :good:
[Shield Tablet Android Development] alcopsy:
Carmaguedon and netflix work! thanks!

Edit and NvidiaGame APP!
[Shield Tablet Android Development] tende96:
I found this rom a few pages ago! directly from the developer ... I hope it becomes official soon. :)

For the magisk modules i've searched online to fix all the problems :)
[Shield Tablet Android Development] alcopsy:
Antutu score : 154k :)
[Shield Tablet Android Development] TiberiusRu:
Hm... why this ROM is not included here, in the thread related to LineageOS 15.1?!

On repo by nathan-96 the latest ROM is dated by May of 2018.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] tende96:
this is the post were i found the rom.

I think is because it was a test, before switch to 15.1 official but i'm not the developer, so i do not know xD i hope in a new release soon of this rom :fingers-crossed:
[Shield Tablet Android Development] TiberiusRu:
Great! Thanks, so it's a more of less official file from Steel01. I shall test it today/tomorrow and report how is it going on the original NST!
[Shield Tablet Android Development] animeware:
Will this rom or new rom be updated to Android 9.0 pie firmware is it possible?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] tende96:
i do not know ... but maybe is possible! Only developer can answer to that question, i can only suppose that :)
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Hack_AR:
I've tried it today. Tried two games. One stuck on loading screen. The other had some non functional buttons. No exFat, 5GHz won't see 52nd channel. Reverted back to the version of May...
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Friedensfurz:
Same here, I fixed some issues by updating the bootloader to N weirdly. The video decoding is really weird, I thougt Mediaserver killer from Playstore fixed it for me, but it occured again somehow..

Try both (one at a time would be best) and report your results please ;)
[Shield Tablet Android Development] MasterWoju:
OTA updates works on this rom?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] knift:
In my case , no.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] garou_umbra_warrior:
Do you have issues with the microsd?

Ive had several failures.unusable microsd cards afterwards
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Friedensfurz:
If you use it as internal, its gonna corrupt it so either format it as portable or format as internal on stock rom and backup /data/misc/vold and paste it on Lineage afterwards ;)
[Shield Tablet Android Development] garou_umbra_warrior:
The card totally failed...it can't be used at all.I have tried with internal and external with a new card but all failed in about a month..the company has given me a new one on all occasions but someone has to look into the matter.this has happened 5 times by now.all were 64gb u3 cards from Kingston and adata
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Friedensfurz:
Did you try to wipe them on your PC? I can recommend SdFormat for Windows
[Shield Tablet Android Development] garou_umbra_warrior:
I used exactly that.

But still the card is unusable.

Can't figure out why.

I even had one failed while on stock rom
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Steel01:
That's weird. I tested adopted storage a while back and it seemed to work fine. My normal use case doesn't include it, though, so I haven't tried in a while. I'll test it again when I've got some time, hopefully this weekend. There should be no need to jump between stock and lineage to get adopted storage working and if it's broke, I'll try to fix it.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] garou_umbra_warrior:
The adopted usage works fine..it takes some time to destroy the card.and I have the distinct impression it has something to do with the reboots
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Friedensfurz:
I never experienced random crashes/reboots again after flashing the N-Bootloader zip file, so maybe I corrupted the BL before ;)
[Shield Tablet Android Development] hectoralexgarcia:
I have an issue...

Today I received the notification that an update was avavailable (over the air), downloaded and was prompted to install automatically if using supported recovery... Apparently Im not using a supported version of twrp which I'm on 3.0.2-2... A bug perhaps? Or because I'm on firmware update 50?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Steel01:
3.0.2 should work fine. What did it actually do? Reboot to twrp and boot to the menu?

I haven't had time to test the tablet specifically yet, but I did double check on the satv and it worked fine. In regards to this, there's little to no difference between the two. But I'll check specifically when I get the time.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] ToHellWithGA:
Was this ever resolved? Some of the downloaded DRM'd content on my tablet won't be available for weeks or months if I wipe and flash clean.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Steel01:
If they didn't get posted to the lineage download site, then no. Sorry, nothing I can do about that. :( Will an adb backup or titanium or helium or such not back those files up?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] hectoralexgarcia:
After it failed to install from the update prompt I downloaded 0325 from the site and installed via twrp recovery. The next day I received the the ota notification for 0325 again. I deleted the download and rebooted the tablet, and received the 0325 update notification once again while already running on the latest nightly. This bug is persistent as of today.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] john_matrix:
Hello,

I would like to update CM13 that I have installed a while on my Shield to LineageOS from this post but I get an error 7 during the upgrade (with TWRP 3.1.0.0)

How can I do to solve this error?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: for the upgrade, it seems that the experimental build needs to be flashed before installing nightly builds.

Is there an experimental build for the Shield Tablet?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] fpozar:
Try changing the filesystem on everything you can to ext4
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Steel01:
No, the experimental builds never got made for 13. This was discussed last page.

Edit: Not even last page, like four posts up...
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Steel01:
Alright, back to 14.1. I'm seriously considering just pushing the blasted thing official even without camera support. Still haven't really had time to work on it. And honestly, I use the camera once in a blue moon, not missing it at all. So, question to y'all using it: do y'all even care about the camera?

It's not all bad news, though. Today I finally got gamestream working again. I still can't test local gamestream, but Geforce Now works great.

The build below should only have the camera as a major problem. A few minor things here and there, but those can be worked out while the nightlies run. So, those of y'all that do more testing, please hammer this build and let me know if anything is broke. The items of the week do *not* count as bugs though, please don't report those.

lineage-14.1-20170406-UNOFFICIAL-shieldtablet.zip
[Shield Tablet Android Development] TiberiusRu:
Finally, have tried Carmageddon and it's working, so there is HW support!:laugh:

However, there are microfreezes sometimes (but it's not related to NW, I think the problem is that kernel was taken from NST K1 and I used it on an original NST). I shall check with more apps and then report back ;)
[Shield Tablet Android Development] john_matrix:
As HW is working, can this version (15.1) will be defined as 'Official'?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] TiberiusRu:
By now there are some freezes, especially upon installation. It should be properly tested before named "Official". Anyway, I am going to explore this ROM more, probably, there are some bugs...
[Shield Tablet Android Development] john_matrix:
I will install it too and test [emoji6]

Do you know if dirty flash can be done over LineageOS 14 or flash from scratch is advised?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] fpozar:
Hw acceleration is *not working*, steel said that like 20 times (unless he got it working without saying anything here which I doubt), he implemented some software cpu side acceleration which can do the job but not perfectly and it uses more battery.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] ST Dog:
Clean flash is always recommended, especially for major updates (like 14 to 15)
[Shield Tablet Android Development] TiD:
Are you able to get any geforcenow games to load? The "loading circle" closes but the game doesn't actually load up past the splash screen
[Shield Tablet Android Development] edd080:
Iam on 14.1 and after the nvidia app latest playstore update the app does not even load,it simply closes back to the home screen. I had to revert to a previous version which now loads fine. Not sure if that might be the reason you aren't able to get your games to load.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] TiD:
You're probably right. I was getting crashes with most recent version on 14.1, upgraded to the 15.1 that we've been talking about in here and I'm running into trouble here too. I wish I could dual boot roms, but I don't know enough about tablet hacking to figure out a way to do that. Which version of nvidiagames is working for you? I'm going to grab that apk
[Shield Tablet Android Development] edd080:
The version i have is 5.17.25543766, hope it helps you out.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] TiD:
Still having the same issue. I haven't tried installing the old nvservices zip , but I can try that tonight. I also disabled the ad blocker / host edited file.

Did you install the nvservices zip?

Possibly worth mentioning: when I boot, I almost immediately get the message "NVIDIA Games has stopped" - so it looks like a service is crashing
[Shield Tablet Android Development] edd080:
No i simply uninstalled the updated app and installed the previous version, i never had the Nvidia games has stopped error either so your issue might be different than what i had.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] NGowtham:
Huge battery drain! Watching a 30 min video on YouTube drops the battery from 99% to 55%. Anyone else facing this problem?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] just lou:
Not on the latest 14.1.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] animeware:
I think I got one of the last unit of Shield K1 on newegg like 1 1/2 years ago new unit for $200 my battery is fine for me works pretty good for those who have battery drain issue I would contact Nvidia about it....

Check to see if you have new unit here

[Shield Tablet Android Development] NGowtham:
I didn't knew about the recall program. And my tablet serial no. is included in the program. Unfortunately, the country I live in (India) isn't included in the list mentioned in the website. I got this tablet as a gift from my Uncle who lives in London, United Kingdom. Can you help me through the process please?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] animeware:
You can try google translator type into google google translator to see if that helps bro....

February build still have December security patch
[Shield Tablet Android Development] just lou:
yeah. kinda strange.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] kbeezie:
I switched off of 14.1 because the inability to use Bluetooth was a deal breaker for me (can turn it on/off, but will never show any devices to pair).
[Shield Tablet Android Development] multiwirth:
There is a very simple fix:

Go to wifi settings, turn off wifi and tap on "scanning settings".

Disable bluetooth and if you like wifi aswell.

This will fully disable bluetooth and wifi when you turn it off, otherwise it will be always turned on for location service but it won´t affect your location service performance but will fix your bluetooth bug and will save your battery when you´re not using wifi and/or bluetooth.

You may reboot your device at this point and it should work now.

EDIT: The scanning settings are somewhere else in 7.1:

Go to location service, tap the 3 dots and choose scanning.

Thought it was the same on android 7 as on 8 :D
[Shield Tablet Android Development] animeware:
Hi [MENTION=1416222]Steel01[/MENTION]

Can you fix the bug on bluetooth it isn't working... Thx....
[Shield Tablet Android Development] kbeezie:
Read the comment directly above yours. It worked when I went back to try it again (though I'm still preferring the Stock+ rom)
[Shield Tablet Android Development] asmalldharma:
Those instructions didn't work for me either UNTIL I force stopped "bluetooth share." I don't know if it was a combination of everything (because I'd just gone through all those other steps) or just the force stopping. It's a system app so you'll have to show those to find it.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] TiberiusRu:
Battery drain test for ROM 15.1 May vs Dec versions

So, finally, I have tested everything on both tablets with 15.1 ROM from May and December.

NB! I have changed batteries on both tablets and they can live 1 week roughly on a single charge in a stand by mode with periodic connection to WiFi - very good result.

I must say, that the one from Dec 2018 eats battery a lot on 1080p YT video (roughly 1% per min). Also I encountered some freezes at this resolution. In my opinion, 720p is totally fine for this tab and I watched YT [MENTION=3621271]720p[/MENTION]60 with speed 2x - no problem. In this mode, if you put you tab in battery saving mode, you will get something like 10% for 20 min video.

ROM 15.1 from May 2018: freezes and, seems, chach overflow for YT "1080p, but fine [MENTION=3621271]720p[/MENTION]. Roughly, 5% in 10 min (similar to the result of ROM 15.1 from Dec 2018).

Conclusion: ROM 15.1 from May 2018 is bit more stable than Dec 2018, however, ROM from Dec 2018 allows you to play game that require HW.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] GtrCraft:
I made a Lineage 15.1 build with february patch:

https://gtrcraft.stackstorage.com/s/s2a353hvwtsrcCv

It runs pretty good on my K1
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Hack_AR:
Thanks a lot!

1. it runs noticeably faster and smoother than the version from May.

2. exFAT still not supported :(

3. WLAN still connects here :)

4. 5GHz Channel 52 still wont show up

5. Haven't noticed any of the problems I had with 20181124 version.

So, thanks a lot, I'm keeping it for now :)
[Shield Tablet Android Development] animeware:
This update is amazing thanks so much... I love it a lot....

Way faster and smoother too..

Thanks for updating patch to February 2019 and updating OS 8.1

Keep up the hard work bro.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Alastor89:
Thank you! I was planning to make a build as will but my motherboard broke. Did you try to build from lineage-16.0 branches ? I have seen a lot of flux from [MENTION=1416222]Steel01[/MENTION] during this days
[Shield Tablet Android Development] kbeezie:
Guessing exFat is going to put a damper on using a 128GB micro-sd card? (or more importantly, OTG from a thumbdrive or portable HDD which are usually exFat formatted now for cross compatibility)

I wonder why exFat wouldn't be natively supported by android for a few versions now, is there a licensing issue attached to that format?

Edit: and yea, an exfat formated thumbdrive will just show up as "corrupted", likewise couldn't get bluetooth to work (though probably requires the same steps as earlier on this page, but the lack of exfat is a deal breaker, though I can still use exfat in TWRP least for the purpose of backup/restore thru recovery)
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Disrupthor:
Anyone having trouble rooting with magisk the latest build?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] ST Dog:
My big external drives (4TB and 10TB) came NTFS formatted but it's not a good choice for flash.

FAT32 supports 16TB partitions though the 4k block size is wasteful. But you get 2TB with 512 byte blocks, so reformat the 128GB card to FAT32. You just have 4GB fike size limits.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] _benedict_:
Hi!

Sorry for a noob question. I'm right now on 14.1. What will happen if I want to update to 15.1 with this new ROM? Do I have to install again my apps and will I lose data?

Thank you for the amazing work!
[Shield Tablet Android Development] kbeezie:
Though Fat32 can't support 4GB+ (not usually an issue in an android application especially on a 32-bit arm chip), and doesn't handle fragmentation as well as exFat does. But I always format thumbdrives and externals to exFAT (usually with 32k to 128k clusters) and not Fat32/HFS+/NTFS because I want the cross system compatibility and I just may have large files on the drive even if I don't use them with the android device (videos, large photoshop files, non-spanned TWRP backups etc).

So that may work in the case of using a micro-SD card strictly to the tablet, not as practical for interfacing with every other kind of storage.

That would be the smart thing to do when making a major rom change. The pre-existing data content from Android 7.1.2 isn't going to be compatible with Oreo 8.1, and just like trying to go to a different rom of the same android version you should always do a clean set up (wipe system and data before flashing)

Only time you might do a dirty upgrade is if it's an update to the current version (like going from Lineage 14.1 to a newer copy of 14.1 with newer security updates).

So back up your data (System, Data, etc) with TWRP or your recovery, wipe system/data, flash new rom and addons (SuperSu, Google Apps, etc), boot up and set up again.

TitaniumBackup can make it easier to backup and re-install your apps and retain their settings/data on a new rom (But no guarantee that it would work with every app).
[Shield Tablet Android Development] _benedict_:
Thank you kbeezie for a bleeding fast and thorough reply! I'm bookmarking it for later.

I made a flashable lineage 15.1 kernel with exfat:

https://gtrcraft.stackstorage.com/s/OiTGn9X8TZ3TgdA

-I cannot test it yet though
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Hack_AR:
Thanks!

Sadly my tablet won't boot after I flashed it over the 20190208 of yours...
[Shield Tablet Android Development] ST Dog:
FAT32 is more compatible across devices/operating systems than exFAT. I've seen plenty of cases where exFAT isn't supported but FAT32 is. I've never seen a case where exFAT is supported but not FAT 32.

exFAT is proprietary and requires Licensing just like NTFS. Sure, free reverse engineered options exist, but the all have issues.
