Thanks for your work on this ROM - great stuff.

On my installs of 27/11 and 30/11versions, I don't see any email client.

Will this be added or do I need to download the stock email separately?

Or am I missing something obvious...?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] C Karthik:
Whenever I use a custom wallpaper (that is other than stock ones) and use the tablet in landscape mode in home screen, it freezes. Is anyone else facing this issue with LineageOS 18?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] followmsi:
It's actually missing in AOSP 11 ..

Lineage is using AOSP based eMail client .. there is no more for 11.

Refs - platform/packages/apps/Email - Git at Google

Maybe they will add "own" email client later on .. No idea.

Update process?

Should we wipe system or factory reset on updates?

When I did a straight dirty flash from 11/27 to 11/30 something didn't work. Ended up going back to a clean flash. This could easily have been user error. Just checking to see what everyone thinks should work.

I believe OP stated magisk needs to be reinstalled on each update. I may have messed that up somehow

Thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] ipdev:
BitGapps does not have an addon.d script currently.

The Magisk addon.d script does not currently work. (Errors out)

Not sure if the lineage addon.d script runs or not.

At the moment, to dirty flash (rom update) you need to flash them manually.

Just reboot into recovery (TWRP).

Flash the Rom, BitGapps and Magisk.

Reboot to system.

No need to wipe caches before reboot.

Cheers. 🤠

@followmsi The EX kernel works great with LineageOS 18. Can you please enable exfat for this kernel? Your post for Oct 5 build says that exfat has been enabled but my USB drive still shows as corrupted.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] ipdev:
Can you describe how you set the wallpaper, and when it freezes?

Did you set the wallpaper while the device was in portrait or landscape?

Is it only one picture/wallpaper (size/file type) that give the error or all custom pictures/wallpapers?

Can you see if you still have an issue when setting the wallpaper using Styles and/or Gallery?

Using Styles you can set a different wallpapers for Home screen and Lock screen.

- Long press on home screen and select Styles & wallpaper.

or (- Under Setting-> Display-> Styles & wallpaper.)

- Wallpaper-> My Photos

- Open the picture file.

- Set Wallpaper (Pick Home screen, Lock screen or Home screen and lock screen).

Using Gallery, it will set the picture as Home screen and Lock screen wallpaper.

- Open the Gallery app. (From the app drawer)

- Open the picture file.

- Three dot menu (upper right corner)-> Set picture as (if prompted choose Gallery Wallpaper)-> SET WALLPAPER

I found one way to get a similar result on flo but, not deb.

Cheers. 🤠
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] C Karthik:
It was after reading your post that I tried setting the wallpaper in landscape mode and realized that the problem occurs only when I set the wallpaper in portrait mode, not in landscape mode. It happened with multiple images, but there doesn't seem to be any pattern. It might be a resolution problem.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Windsor1959:
I have Lineage 17.1 installed on my flo now. Do I need to format the system partition before installing 18? My system partition has already been resized according to OP! Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] ipdev:
It is generally recommended to to a clean flash when change from one version of Android to another.

You might not have problems doing it but, problems may show later because of it.

A clean flash includes wiping data, so make sure to backup and copy files you want to keep off device.

(Computer, USB, Cloud storage..)

Since you partitioned the device already, unless you encrypted data, you should not need to format.

Just wipe all in TWRP then install l18, gapps and/or magisk.

Note: You need to use Magisk Beta or Canary for Android 11.

Stable and Beta use the same manager at the moment.

If I'm getting "updater process ended with ERROR: 1" when trying to flash the newest rom, what am I doing wrong?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] prsa01:
If you haven't reparationed that is likely your problem. See op
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] picturethefuture:
Thanx that was the problem.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] picturethefuture:
The installation worked without problems and I installed the right Gapps at the end. After that I wanted to boot but I couldn't get further than the Lineage-Logo (a circle over the line). After about 10 minutes the Nexus starts the recovery automatically.

I'm a bit embarrassed, because I have some experience with flashing, but where could there be a mistake?

Edit: Got it to work.

Hello and thanks for the ROM!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Yesthatsme:
First of all - thanks a lot for putting all this effort and time into this great ROM!

I managed to install it yesterday on my deb and so far I only have one issue - unfortunately it´s related to WiFi.

I have an AVM Fritzbox 7590 as my primary router spanning my access point "livingroom" (channel 11 @ 2.4GHz and channel 100 @ 5GHz).

A second AVM Fritzbox 7390 (in IP client mode) is connected to the 7590 using a LAN connection. The 7390 spans a second access point "basement" (channel 6 @ 2.4GHz and channel 40 @ 5GHz). The same SSIDs are used for both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.

After entering the wifi password the deb will not connect to my "livingroom" wifi. The connection remains in status "saved" and if I click on "connect" nothing happens. However, the connection to the "basement" access point works like a charm.

When I turn on the guest wifi mode on my 7590, the connection also works. The only issue is with my primary wifi.

Has anyone seen something like that before and can provide hints on how to resolve that?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Edit: I found the reason myself:

Wifi encryption mode of the Fritz!Box 7590 must not be "WPA2 + WPA3".

The connection can only be established using "WPA2 (CCMP)" or "WPA + WPA2".
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] followmsi:
Yep - this sounds like WPA2/3 router issue.

Pls test and modify with root explorer ..

"/system/vendor/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant_overlay.conf"

Add as last line ..

pmf=0

Pls reboot your device and test if connection is possible to your WAP2/3 router ?

Pls test In WAP2/3 mode like before .. not in WPA2 mode.

PMF seems to be the culprit in some older drivers.

Can't test myself still have WPA2 router.

Pls report your findings ..

All the other WPA2/3 router owners are welcome to test as well :)

Cheers
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Yesthatsme:
Thanks for the reply. I just tested it but it still does not work with WPA2/3.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] twics:
What gapps did you use?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] cityeyes:
I've done the same, just in case. Same issue, same result - adding pmf=0 didn't change anything.

I'm also on a router with WPA2/3 enabled, although I know for sure that WPA2 devices can connect properly.

I'll try to keep an eye on this thread and I'll also update if I figure anything out on my end.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] followmsi:
Thanks for testing .. Ok, we will not disable PMF in next builds.

I have found another setting/overlay which is activated by default.

For next builds we will disable this setting .. like below.

<!-- Enable WPA2 to WPA3 auto-upgrade -->

<bool translatable="false" name="config_wifiSaeUpgradeEnabled">false</bool>

flo: wifi: Disable WPA2 -> WPA3 upgrade. · followmsi/android_device_asus_flo@04ca9c8

Our device doesn't simply support sae. Change-Id: Ibf8b9e363b4677cf2ab9590cc2ea1ba2341e29ca

No idea if this change will solve WPA2/3 connections issues .. let's try it.

It might be a noob question but how did you get it running?

Netflix app is not offered to me in the Playstore.

I downloaded the older version 4.16-200217 from Netflix directly and installed it but it gives me a "device not supported error" upon start.

I thought it's not possible to run Netflix on rooted devices.

SafetyNet passes and PlayStore is certified.

If you pass SafetyNet and not Play certified, clear the cache and/or data of PlayStore app.

If Netflix is not available to install from PlayStore.

You can install it manually. After a bit, PlayStore will find it and take over updating it.

The newer versions of Netflix are split-apk files are available here.

Just tested on L17.1 with sGapps only. (No Magisk.)

Not logged into Google, installed SAI and used it to install the 7.83.0 SAI package I dumped from my N7.

Logged into Netflix and quickly checked. I was able to jump back and forth though a streming show just fine.

I normally use Lucifer or 13 Reasons, for testing purposes. Since they are two series I know used to error out due to DRM.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] ipdev:
Not at the moment.

I haven't run into, or able to reproduce, the problem.

I just clean flashed on flo (including a format) a few times, only installing l18.1 and BitGapps R19.

I install l18.1 and BitGapps R19, back-to-back.

Normally use adb sideload but, I tested OTG also.

Then, reboot to system from TWRP reboot menu.

Normally skip though the setup, only adjusting timezone.

Configure WiFi (Mobile data) later once I have some things setup.

For testing, I did connect WiFi in setup wizard.

I was able to log into Google just fine.

Had some issues in Playstore (app availability) without magisk.

That is a different topic though.

Running out of time tonight to test more.

Can you list the steps you are using, (including file versions) and if you are on flo (WiFi) or deb (LTE)?

Side note.

Bitgapps R20 is on deck with some needed changes. Hopefully the server issue is sorted soon and/or R20 is released via a different mirror.

Best I can suggest at the moment is to verify the downloads of L18.1, BitGapps and, if used, Magisk.

If all is good, do another clean flash, including format, and try again.

Format and wipe all in TWRP, reboot to recovery.

Install ROM, Gapps, Magisk. (No Reboots in-between and no need to wipe caches after install.)

Reboot system. (If prompted, do NOT install the TWRP app.)

Hi again,

I've been playing around a bit and found a minor "issue".

Before Covid19 I travelled a lot and I used a Delock Slimport to HDMI adapter to connect my deb to a portable projector to watch movies in my hotel rooms.

I was curious if this still works with this ROM and it turned out it doesn't.

As soon as I plug in the adapter the deb freezes completely. The display stays on but the device is not responding any more. Even after unplugging the adapter the device remains unresponsive.

The only way out is to shut it down by long-pressing the power button and then reboot.

I admit SlimPort is a rarely used feature but I just wanted to report it.

Cheers

Original post.

A few weeks ago I forked opengapps and included nezorflame's pending changes.

OpenGApps - GitHub - Pull request 885 - Link​

My fork GitHub - sdk30 - Link

Synced the 11 sources and ran a few builds.

Google SetupWizard had issues. I removed Google's and kept Lineage SetupWizard with a mod build.

OpenGApps worked about the same as BitGapps R19.

There was an update to the OpenGapps arm sources a day (or two) ago.

Now Google SetupWizard is working. :)

I uploaded my unofficial-test builds to MediaFire.
