This is a Pixel C thread. I don'tt think that these rom's would work on a Yoga Tab 3+.
[Pixel C Android Development] thetample:
Hello there, I followed the install instructions and found myself in an awkward situation. After I installed the 18.1 OS (1211 ver) and restarted the tablet, the device stuck at lineage OS animation for a while and than reboot itself to recovery, and that's when things went wrong. I typed my password in and the decryption failed, which it asked me to reenter the password. Now I can't enter recovery and I can't enter the OS. I bought the device with TWRP pre-loaded therefore I have very limited knowledge about all the fastboot and other stuff. Any kind suggestion means the world to me.
[Pixel C Android Development] brackenhill_mob:
You missed a bit. Encryption not supported. It's so long since I did this, but go read the OP for @followmsi 17.x ROM for instructions.
[Pixel C Android Development] brackenhill_mob:
I've got a weird one. Does anyone use Amazon Shopping and the new XDA app successfully? I get SSL errors with them.

Any known fix or possibly another app I might have installed that might trigger this? @followmsi ? It worked when I first installed 18.1, and I had the same issue on 18.0

Do you use Adaway? If so, try disabling the local web server.

Sir I want to know whether vilte working in this ROM? Is there any issue while calling ? Like artifact's.
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
You don't know what they had set on that tablet. I'd reccomend formating internal storage and start clean. I woulden't want to have to deal with someone elses problems.

LineageOS 18.1

One more build before Xmas ..

lineage-18.1-20201218-UNOFFICIAL-dragon.zip

Changes:

- Enabled Bluetooth Audio HAL 2

- Switched to Audio HAL 6

- Overlay for Wifi (Disable WPA2 -> WPA3 upgrade)

- Various config changes

- Re-added PinnerService (also for Home App now)

- Set flag for UI optimizations

- Latest LineageOS changes

Thanks to @michie for all his work !

Magisk 21.1 seems to require manual reinstall after ROM update ..

For 18.1 you have to reinstall gapps too.

Enjoy :p
[Pixel C Android Development] followmsi:
Have had this slow starts too .. seems to be gapps related.

Not sure .. needs to be checked.

Which gapps did you use ?

Did you test other gapps packages too ?

Thx
[Pixel C Android Development] followmsi:
Encryption has not been tested on 18.x .. at least not by me.

[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
I have been using the November 16, 2929 Open Gapps test Mini package. It's been working fine. I just checked to see if it is updated, it appears to be the latest test package.

Has anyone seen any gapps packages that are more recent. I've downloaded the November NikGapps, they are just as old. Any updated Gapps out there?

After flashing lineage-14.1-20170703-nightly it said "inappropriate Vendor Image" - make sure your Vendor image matches N2G47W

Just a Warning:

Don't flash/update to magisk 13.2.

After that tablet is in recovery bootloop and no system boot possible

This happend to me and also reported at Magisk General Support / Discussion Thread

Does it happen on 13.3 too?

[Pixel C Android Development] AmazingToast:
Hi I was wondering if when there is a LineageOS update and a new vendor update do I flash vendor.img first and then the Lineage zip, or the other way round?
[Pixel C Android Development] dafresh:
Magisk is broken ( twrp bootloop) since v13 and past versions.

you can download netflix at apkmirror while magisk is not working.

Netflix is currently not using safetynet...just playstore does and app dont show up

[Pixel C Android Development] followmsi:
There is no special install order for the vendor.img.

You can install the (new) vendor.img either before or after ROM installation.

[Pixel C Android Development] thetample:
Been searching for the post for sometime but I couldn't find it, so I tried to do this in another way, re-install TWRP, and there came a more tragic event. my laptop can't find the tablet in fastboot mode. My guess is that with the new rom installation the USB debugging function has been disabled. Are there other ways to fix it? Otherwise I'll just go to the local stores and see if they can fix it.
[Pixel C Android Development] octopus90:
Thank you very much for the new build.

Now I don't have any problems with connecting to a WiFi with WPA3 protection (y)

But I noticed that the camera stops working after undefined time - sometimes after 15 minutes, but sometimes after 40 minutes of online meeting. After a system restart it works again for the moment.
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
Thank you very much @followmsi for the new build. I had no problem flashing it and latest Magisk Canary zip (21101). Rebooted fine and preserved the NikGapps. I did not have to reflash gapps or manually reinstall Magisk. All good!
[Pixel C Android Development] brackenhill_mob:
Are you using Windows? Make sure to get the latest adb tools package. I'm a Linux user so I can't be of more help. Good luck!
[Pixel C Android Development] aiglesh:

Android setup keeps stopping.

No way to go any further from here. :-(

Any help pls.
[Pixel C Android Development] thetample:
I'm using win10 as my main working platform however I got linux mint in the laptop as well. No matter which OS I use the computer just can't find the device, so I guess the problem's on the device end rather than laptop.
[Pixel C Android Development] followmsi:
Thx for confirmation .. the WPA3 overlay seems to work !

Camera/Video is an issue since years .. we rely on "old" prebuilt libs.

Not sure if we can improve anymore.

I did not test to use Google sofware encoder instead of Nvidia hardware encoder.

This may improves video stability.

Needs to be tested.

Last time I did test 30 minutes without issues .. it's also "hard" to replicate the problem.

I just did a clean upgrade to lineage-18.1-20201223 (with NikGapps-basic from 20201214 and magisk 21) and now the screen won't stay off after the timout. It switches off, then a few seconds later turns on again and keeps going throug this loop. It onl stays off when I use the power button.

Anyone have an idea what's going on and how to fix it?
[Pixel C Android Development] tinnef:
Thanks, I'll give that a try. Is there an archive somewhere? Google Drive only has the latest one.
[Pixel C Android Development] collindanib:
Hi, I'm considering doing this, but I have a question. It says Widevine L1 was revoked, so I'm assuming it's either L2 or L3. I know apps like netflix can play in hd with L2, but not L3. So I was wondering which one it has? As that will either make of break it.

Thanks.
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
If you dirty flashed, you may need to do a factory user data wipe in TWRP.
[Pixel C Android Development] tinnef:
I didn't flash dirty
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
Then maybe you got a bad dl. Or you have something else going on. Did you provide a logcat, logged when you reproduced the issue?
[Pixel C Android Development] aiglesh:
Ok, finally got it up and running. Thanks

Embedded videos in chrome do not work and changing the chrome://flags hardware decoder disabled did not help too.
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
Try using Firefox browser. Seems to work better fro me.
[Pixel C Android Development] tinnef:
Logcat is attached. The md5 matches so the download is ok -and yes, there is something else going on that's why I'm posting here

Edit: I found out more. This happens because I don't set a lock option, setting it to swipe fixes it I've seen it reported on at least one other device as well.

@followmsi I can't post a bug report to lineageos since this is an unoficial build, is there somethin you can do?
[Pixel C Android Development] Murmel2k:
Are there still older builds available for download? Like LineageOS 16 or so? Since I am not really happy with the performance of never builds. Chrome is really sluggish on Anroid 10/11 for some reason. And also the video playback is annoyingly unreliable, even when I rename the file and I turn off hardware accelleration.
[Pixel C Android Development] ivanperezcaro:
Look at the links in the first post.
[Pixel C Android Development] Murmel2k:
Damn. I checked the links in the Google Drive links in the midst of the thread but none of them were still online. But I didn't have the idea to check the first posting. Thank you and sorry for asking.
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
Use firefox browser. Works much better for me on this tablet.
[Pixel C Android Development] schoerb:
Or use Samsung Internet or Kiwi Browser. Both work.
[Pixel C Android Development] Murmel2k:
I tried Kiwi browser already. While video playback works fine, I experienced the registered touchc coordinates to be offset from the actual finger position after I scroll a little bit down on the page. So basically the touch gets registered about 3 cm higher to the top than my finger is touching the screen
[Pixel C Android Development] Murmel2k:
Hmmm... Can anyone remember what vendor image/factory image I need for lineage os 16? The installation of the zip fails with status code 7 all the time ..

Upgraded from 20201211

Did not reinstall nikgapps

Magisk 21.1

Zram seems to have improved memory performance. Swapping between apps is much better since apps aren't dumped out of memory. The only issue I've come across so far is that Gmail closes itself after a few seconds; I cleared the storage of the app with no luck, will try reinstalling latest nikgapps.

Before I updated to lineage-18.1-20201229-UNOFFICIAL-dragon.zip I already updated to Magisk 21.2. After installing new lineageos build magisk was automatigally reinstalled - I havn't to reinstall Magisk manually.

I noticed that the GPS does not work - what about you?

Also bootlooping after flashing 18.1 over November build, I had Nik gapps flashed before and only flashed the 18.1 build with a cache/dalvik wipe. Ideas?
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
Did you flash 12/29 build without gapps? or today's build with gapps? If you flashed the 12/29 build w/o you should be ok. If you flash today's build w/ gapps you need to do a factory data wipe. Wipe Factory user data in TWRP and you should be OK.
[Pixel C Android Development] TooYellow:
I did a clean install of 20201229, Nikgapps full, magisk 21.2. Everything is working nicely so far, switching between the last 2-3 apps feels faster. The tablet seems more responsive, UI is relatively smooth.

Play store and Chrome are still slow to load but fine once loaded. I tried another chromium based browser, Brave, with the same results. Firefox and Firefox Focus are quick to load though.

Thanks for the hard work, @followmsi !
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:

I have been fiinding embedded videos difficult to play lately. Even with the sugested modifications Chrome dosen't play a lot of video formats. Firefox plays most video formats well, but after 3 or 4 videos it gets very slow, laggy and needs to be restarted to play the video or otherwise browse. Is there something that can be done, like clearing a cache in chrome? If so, how?

Thanks, these problems may be due to low ram, is that correct. If so is there a way of opening up space, as it is filled? Thanks!
[Pixel C Android Development] michie:
It's not due to low ram. Our old Nvidia hardware codecs are just not playing nice atm..

Google's software codecs are working a bit better but not perfect either. I've been trying for days from morning till evening porting over the latest nvidia drivers using the shield as a base but unfortunatly I could only get their power HAL up and running which was required for EGL which on it's turn was required for OMX etc etc etc. I don't think I will get it running on our 3.8 kernel.

Apart from that, @followmsi and myself are constantly trying to improve things so who know we will figure something out sooner or later.
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
Thanks for your response and for your and @followmsi 's continued efforts.
[Pixel C Android Development] followmsi:
Now I have tested with "none" as well .. get the same problem like you.

Will check this issue .. seems to be lineage specific .. does not happen on PE.

For now pls use "swipe" as lock screen setting.

Thanks for reporting !

Rename/remove the ".bak from "/vendor/lib/libnvomx.so.bak" and reboot to get back Nvidia HW codecs like before.

Good to know! I guess the first post should be edited to indicate that a clean flash needs to be done all the time and to remove the little bit of info if you are upgrading from a previous lineage-18 version.

[Pixel C Android Development] tabormeister:
So just to be clear, @followmsi we can't do dirty flash upgrades to this ROM? I have NikGapps installed + magisk, if I flash the update.zip for a new version, flash gapps again, then flash magisk again, then wipe cache+dalvik, it should work, correct? Last couple times I've tried to update versions by dirty flashing it's required a clean flash.
