I Just clean installed latest 18.1 and having some strange Wifi signal strength issues that I've never had before my WIfI signal strength is fluctuating all over the place even right next to the router internet is unusable. Note I'm not having this issue on my Nexus 6 running 18.1

Anyone else having this issue any fix ?
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
I have not had the issue you described. Try downloading the ROM again and dirty flash it over your setup.

Hi, I dirty flashed over the September version. Started to boot into the LOS boot animation and then booted back to TWRP. Any Ideas?
[Pixel C Android Development] ivanperezcaro:
Have you tried to reinstall Gapps after flashing the ROM?
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
Yes, that's exactly what I tried a few hrs after my post. It worked! Thanks. Good suggestion!
[Pixel C Android Development] m+a+r+k:
This has happened to me with every Lineage 18 build, dirty flashing never works here. I usually wipe the system partition then install ROM, Gapps and Magisk.
[Pixel C Android Development] ipdev:
Hi. :)

Was Magisk still installed after dirty-flashing Gapps?

If it is only OpenGApps, then the problem is probably with OpenGApps.

If no backup/restore/install (addon.d) scripts are running then it is a problem with the device build, lineageOS or recovery used.

Cheers. :cowboy:

PS.

There was a permission error in OpenGApps the last couple of weeks and was fixed today.

Also the full build of official OpenGApps Android 11 (SDK30) is on deck for building.

No more test builds. ;)

Are people having an issue auto updating this lineage-18.1-20211006-UNOFFICIAL-dragon.zip update or are we talking about just dirty flashing it ?
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
Dirty flashing the rom and reflashing Gapps appears to work! Yes, you need to reflash the Magisk.zip.
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
How about doing an update direct from the tablet any issues there ?

Any need to reinstall Gapps then ?

If I had any Android dev chops I'd be looking into it. Lots of us want this, but I'm just happy anyone is still paying development attention to this device *at all*. Long live the Pixel C!
[Pixel C Android Development] :
Never tried to upgrade before. Is it hard? Will the app settings and data on my tablet be maintained after upgrade? I managed to get LineageOS 18 on my Pixel C, but it took a lot of work. Just worried I'm going to lose all the work I put into setting up the tablet the way I like.

Also, thank you for your hard work on this. Was really happy to see that I could get the latest security fixes and Android OS on my device!
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
No, really easy.
[Pixel C Android Development] Everio9000:
Hi : ) I own Pixel C for 6 years and I use it everyday (reading news, Telegram, some apps, etc) and it's running last official Android 8.1 build.

Time ago I tried some Custom ROMs but it doesn't work properly (some bugs) and I decided to return to stock build. I'd like to know if today I can find a Custom ROM that works properly, run smoothly where system and apps open & close fast. I will accept some bugs if I have no chance, no problem.

So the question is if LineageOS offers that I'm looking for. Thank you.
[Pixel C Android Development] Elektron60:
I flashed two devices without gap-reflash, without magisk and without issues.

Thank you for this ROM. Your Work hold a good device usable. ;-)

@follwmsi What is the status of your 19.0 build. Will you post about it in this thread? Thank you!
[Pixel C Android Development] :
Gave this a shot last night, and yes it was really easy. Literally just did exactly the 5 steps listed in the instructions and the update worked.
[Pixel C Android Development] followmsi:
Just renamed the folder to "12-development" .. if there are any really "usable" builds I will let you know - for sure. :)

Comparing with previous major updates .. for android 12 there are actually not too much changes required to build successfully.

But as you realized it does not boot successfully .. due to graphics issues .. and maby more.

Uploaded another new build today .. Lineage team did inlcude more repos and several changes. Still had to cherry-pick a lot of missing changes .. and there are still tons of changes missing to make pure AOSP to Lineage.

As well I did applied a "hack" to make graphics (hopefully) work.

Some Camera components have been taken out temporarily.

The goalof the new build is to see lineage bootanmiation .. at least for a short while :)

I did not test the new build myself .. not yet.

@michie is also working on Android 12 .. Pixel Experience seems to be a bit quicker as Lineage. PE merged already more changes to make custom ROM really usable.

We will see .. if and when will have "proper" Lineage-19.0 for dragon.

Cheers

Hi, I tried to flash your version of Lineage 18.1. I formatted Data and wiped my System, however I got this error :

"This package is for "dragon" devices;"

Found another post here with the same issue, and you mentioned that you had to remove some part of the code and re-zip it again. Would you pls do the same for this one (your Lineage 18) ? Or let us know which file needs to be modified ? Thank you.
[Pixel C Android Development] followmsi:
Maybe shield 11 image will help us.

For now we have used just one single lib fro shield images (vulkan.tegra.so) .. the other libs/blobs do have compatibilty issues with the existing dragon libs .. we would have to start from scatch - just with shield libs/blobs.

We will see when/if we get Android 12 running on dragon .. :)

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this but search just kept bringing me back here so here goes.

I recently pulled my pixel c out of a drawer to give to my niece and discovered it was only android 8 (shows how much i used it) as it is well and truly out of support i thought i would see to getting it up to 11 with lineage using TWRP but want to check something.

So i have the adb and run adb devices from CMD, i can see device. Great

run adb reboot bootloader, get waiting for fastboot command on tablet. Great

run fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, get the following:-

Sending 'recovery' (16496 KB) OKAY [ 0.437s]

Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'unsupported command')

fastboot: error: Command failed

I can only get it to go by using "fastboot oem unlock"

I have now got into TWRP and installed Lineage is that correct? Or have i balls up somewhere that may cause my niece issues down the road?

Thanks in advance

*EDIT* Spoke to soon, device boots but just says Android setup keeps stopping

Hey everyone.

I have a Rhino T8 and am trying to install lineageOS.

I can't seem to find any documentation for this anywhere. anyone able to point me in the right direction to how I can flash lineageOS to this?

It's a brand of tablet. I'm guessing it's a made for someone by someone kinda scenario like how the early google nexus tablets were made by Samsung.

lineage-19.0 (BETA)

Let's go for Android 12 .. this is an early build of lineage-19.0 for Pixel C.

As Lineage SetupWizard is still missing I did made dirty upgrade from 18.1 and just wiped my system partition in TWRP. Still have to test clean install.

I have tested this build with open_gapps-arm64-12.0-nano-20211116-UNOFFICIAL_TEST.zip and Magisk 23.0.

lineage-19.0-20211117-UNOFFICIAL-dragon.zip

- Camera is not working yet

- Tons of lineage customizations / settings / bugfixes are still missing !

- SELinux is permissive

LOS 19 is working pretty well so far. Followed followmsi dirty flash steps. First boot had some kind of text input bug but second boot is a-okay. Definitely looking forward for upcoming 12L tablet layout optimizations but I like how snappy this is at the moment. Typing this out on the desktop website is immediately responsive and that was not always true under LOS 18.

[Pixel C Android Development] EddieK23:
I tested with NikGapps and all is well.

Only issue (that I think is more so with Android 12 and not this ROM) is that a lot of apps are "not supported" when trying to install from the Play Store, but then again this device is now so much faster and actually usable with this update
[Pixel C Android Development] heyChristo:
Will this work if I dirty flash over CR Droid? (LOS 19 i mean) Something has been draining my battery lately where I normally get a weeks worth of charge plus in just a day or so. When I am booting it tells me "three is an internal problem with your device". Not sure what caused it but looking to try this one!

UPDATE: Indeed the dirty flash over CR Droid does work!

UPDATE 2: Ok, a few quirks I have found. Not sure if these are because i flashed from CR droid or if their are other work arounds, but just letting everyone know in case they try 19

There is no way to enable reboot to recovery.

gboard was having some issues and had to remove it because it kept crashing..

UPDATE 3: Patching and flashing boot image with Magisk 2012.5.12 v23.0 results in bootlloop. Will remain unrooted for now until I can figure this one out, if maybe an older version still works.
[Pixel C Android Development] locuturus:
Anyone here know who to complain offer feedback to about the GApps Markup app having super bad resolution? For those who haven't noticed, take a screenshot and edit it using the little floating menu, choosing Markup if you get a choice of apps (Markup is the Google/Pixel screenshot editing app). This has, for I think 3 versions of Android now, reduced the effective resolution of the original screenshot to something like 480p on the Pixel C.
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
Try latest TWRP Canary 23015.
[Pixel C Android Development] heyChristo:
Results in same boot loop, "There is an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details." when trying to flash modified boot image. Re-flashing rom gets me back to normal with all my apps and settings.
[Pixel C Android Development] ipdev:
It is most likely due to the dirty flash.

crDroid is a close sister build to Lineage, most likely why it even worked.

The issues you have described are probably due to the cross distro dirty update.

Differences between internal handling of permissions and other settings.

Example: gBoard crashing.

Would not surprise me if their is an issue with Google Photos also.

[Missing or incorrect permission to Camera and/or the DCIM directory.]

Remember LineageOS 19 is still in development.

Some things are just missing or not implemented yet.

LineageOS Gerrit - WebSite - Link

Try a clean flash and see if you still have issues.

I do not think (at least I have not found) the option to reboot to recovery from the power option.​

adb reboot recovery works. :p​

You can also use reboot recovery from a terminal app. ;)​

[Pixel C Android Development] heyChristo:
Cool, no problem. Thanks for the support @ipdev & @Alxoom33. I did update TWRP. I'm just glad to be on 12 and that @followmsi is still making these roms. For my purposes it works just fine as it is now for serving its job which is essentially streaming movies, tv shows., or music from my plex server and simple web browsing. I'll be sure to check back once their is an update for the clean flash.

[Pixel C Android Development] frov:
I decided to upgrade my trusty pixel C after a year not having done that: so old ROM 17.1 Dec'20 and TWRP 3.4-ish. But ran into a wall and took some time to overcome that: first upgraded to TWRP 3.6. Then, while wiping /system it crashed hard, out of recovery and straight into fastboot. And there it was and remained. I then remembered I could fastboot-boot the TWRP img file, so this way I got into TWRP again. Wiping again repeated the same. Then, back in TWRP, looked at the system partition and TWRP reported size 0. I tried to repair/resize, but in the end changing file system type to ext3 (from ext4) got me a mountable /system again. Then decided to use TWRP to flash TWRP 3.4, and the old ROM of Dec'20. That got me a working Pixel C, back into life. Then back into TWRP and flashed the (for me) new 18.1. And somehow in that process also /system was back to ext4.

All fine now: I have a smooth working Pixel C, a lot better than before, as somehow it had become very sluggish (I had moved liboemcrypto aside, thought that was the reason). Now, in 18.1, I did not need to move that lib aside: Netflix is working, Ziggo Go is working (Dutch TV). And pixel is ultra smooth.

No clue what happened and why I lost /system (???), but I am happy and uptodate now: thanks for the ROM, much appreciated.

Another build ..

The December AOSP update was quite big .. synced the latest lineage changes too.

In this build Lineage bootanimation might hangs a few seconds before showing lock screen. It seems this is related due to PIN/PATTERN changes from lineage and/or AOSP updates .. This only happens after reboot, just once. Needs more investigation.

Pls use Update.ZIP_TWRP_flashable_pattern_pin_remover_V3.zip to remove/reset current locksettings from TWRP.
