Marvin has an idea

"

@bananer regarding jfltexx 18.1

As it says in the last lines, system partition image size is set to 1126 MB when it is supposed to store 1119 MB of files. While this technically could fit, file system also needs additional space for various things, so this is likely to not be enough space. As microG takes a few additional MB over stock LineageOS, it might be just not fitting anymore on this system image.

However, jfltexx should actually have a larger system partition, so not sure why there is this 1126 MB limit. The system image size is set at BoardConfig.mk and it says something about compatibility with jgedlte (the Google Play edition). "
[Android Software Development] Tuulis:
Hello!

I've installed the LineageOS for microG for the first time couple of days ago. Since then I've installed a many apps and changed many of my phones settings.

Now I noticed that the microG app itself has disappeared!

Any idea what might've caused this? Do I have to re-flash the whole OS to get it back or can I download the microG app from somewhere and reinstall it?
[Android Software Development] kurtn:
Did you try to search in settings? Probably it's just disabled
[Android Software Development] Tuulis:
I've tried to search it via "Settings" > "Search settings" but keyword "micro" only returns "Microphone".

Then I tried to go through my installed apps via "Apps & notifications" > "See all apps" but it's not there either.

When I go to F-droids "Installed Apps" there are "microG Store (FakeStore release)", "microG Services Framework Proxy", "MozillaNlpBackend by microG Project", "NominatimNlpBackend by microG Project" and "UnifiedNlp (no GAPPS)"
[Android Software Development] heinhuiz:
Why don't you just dirty flash the zip again? That should bring everything back.
[Android Software Development] kurtn:
UnifiedNLP is microG. F-droid confusion
[Android Software Development] Tuulis:
Yeah I was thinking about doing this (though I haven't done it before).

Is it simple as wiping the system, dalvik and cache and then re-flashing? (I guess I don't have to flash the migration since I already have LOS for microG installed.) If you have any guides on how to do this correctly I would greatly appreciate it. Not in the mood of Google-fu ATM.

Do you recommend reinstalling this then?

I _think_ the microG and it's components are working properly on my phone but I would like the microG app itself to work too.

Sorry for my ignorance but I'm very new to this.
[Android Software Development] heinhuiz:
@Tuulis i wouldn't even wipe system. Dalvik and cache should be enough.

I wonder what happens if you just reinstall the current release through the Updater in Settings - System. That might even help you.

Hi, I am on LOS+microG (18.1 Build 09/14 on a beyondlte0).

I do have problems with controlling the apps via Settings/App ... Selecting an app (to stop/clear cache) leads to returns to the previous page. I can't stop an app or delete cache via this (normal) way. Can you confirm?

I did have a talk with maintainer of official LOS for this. He thinks this is because of spoofing an some NPE ....

Can someone help?
[Android Software Development] kurtn:
Have you done any heavy system modifications like magisk? App manager?

Play store?

Have you tried updating?
[Android Software Development] letm:
I just looked at your link but my smartphone is not listed, so I give up this solution. Thank you for the information.

I will test this solution with magisk + microg. In the long list of roms, I don't know which one to choose knowing that my phone has arm64 processor with Mediatek MT6739. Perfect.
[Android Software Development] starbright_:
Magisk is used for afwall, adaware and migrate/backup tools. I am not 100% sure, but I think that has been working before I did this 09/14 update.

---

So it is a matter of Magisk? I can't belive that. The "official" version doesn't show this behaviour with Magisk. I can send someone a log, myself can't interprete that properly.

----

Edit: Could found the reason. Because I used the "official" LOS before (no spoofing included) I forget to remove the spoofing and microg modules from Magisk. To bad.
[Android Software Development] Cainnub:
Hi all, I went from standard LOS to this LOS ROM. All works perfect except one thing: the default email app dissapeared from my phone. I really want that one back because there arent many email apps which works with all emailproviders (outlook, gmail r most important) and dont have alot of trackers. Does any1 know how i can get the default email app back? I did a full backup with titanium backup but for some reason it freezes up when i tell it to restore the email app.
[Android Software Development] Keule-Tm:
Those backup apps are at least complicated regarding system apps.

You could try FairEmail or K9 mail (both are open source).
[Android Software Development] Cainnub:
yeah im testing out fairemail atm, but that default app was working great
[Android Software Development] kurtn:
The email app was removed from official LineageOS 18.1 because of security concerns. There is a large list of alternatives

Im about to buy a phone on ebay. Where is the list of supported devices BY BRAND? Should I refer to LOS wiki?
[Android Software Development] heinhuiz:
Yes. All devices in that list are getting built with microG, except for the discontinued ones.
[Android Software Development] kurtn:
Lineage.microg.org alo builds devices that are no longer supported by lineageOS. Do have a favourite device?
[Android Software Development] heinhuiz:
I checked some randomly from the discontinued list on the wiki and found them not to be there. Maybe just an unlucky catch.

Hi, I want to install Lineage OS for microG for my poco x3 pro.

My questions are,

1) is it safe to install this rom?

2) will i get updates via ota?

3) will banking apps like icici work without issues?

4) is there any telegram support group, so that we can easily get help compared to here.

please answer my questions please...
[Android Software Development] Keule-Tm:
You could answer questions 1)&2) yourself if you'd carefully read at https://lineageos.microg.org

3) Banking apps are generally known to be tricky. Mine works (ING, Germany), but I've heard of several others that theirs doesn't.

4) There's none I know of. But you could easily open one yourself and post the link...

Apart from the technical side, XDA rules are a little bit picky about support via telegram instead of this forum.
[Android Software Development] kurtn:
You can get help in telegram microG user group.
[Android Software Development] s80_gad:
Hi,

I have read I'd say all of the info on https://lineage.microg.org/ and struggling to find more information if I can install that OS on my Umidigi Bison Pro. I really want to give it a go and I'll appreciate if someone can advise me how I can get it installed on the above phone. I have tried to navigate through the list of devices/downloads on https://download.lineageos.org/ but clearly my device is not listed and not sure if any of those can be used for the Umidigi Bison Pro. There are various tutorials on how to create a custom ROM but once I get to the device specific information I am not sure what exactly needs to be added since there is nothing specific for my device in the repository.

Clearly I haven't created a ROM so far but I am willing to try that and volunteer to the point where I can indeed help. I am comfortable flashing ROMS, have done that and rooted plenty of devices if that might be of any help.

My current issue with the Imidigi's Bison Pro stock ROM is that the phone constantly restarts without any specific/obvious reason it might be during phone call or while browsing etc. I have managed to limit those restarts by force stopping and disabling google specific apps and services but still I think there are left overs which are trying to do something in the background. I'd accept any advice or information that can help me understand and build that from scratch - I am not expecting someone to devote their time to specifically create that ROM

Thanks in advance
[Android Software Development] kurtn:
I doubt, you will ever come to the point, where your custom ROM is more stable than the stock ROM. In your case i would factory reset and start again with disabing bloatware.
[Android Software Development] s80_gad:
Hi kurtn, I am afraid you haven't read my post in full. I have already flashed again and again the stock rom probably 20 times. After all those tries I have clearly removed all the bloatware but as I mentioned in my post I find that the phone is only working to an extent like restarts twice for 24 hrs when I block google play and google play services. With the stock rom I am freezing/disabling stopping those but cannot remove them in full. This is why I want to try LineageOS for microG as it is meant to not use any of Google specific apps. So I'd appreciate if someone can provide some advise and where should I start. Thank you
[Android Software Development] kurtn:
Maybe you should try GSI.

Thanks kurtn, appreciate your suggestion and will have a look at the information. Haven't come across that yet so it is interesting to read what it is .
[Android Software Development] heinhuiz:
@kurtn

Somehow it seems that the build for lmi (and a few other devices starting with l) has been missed. Models before that and later in the alphabet did get their recent updates.
[Android Software Development] kurtn:
Last round of 18.1 stopped at instantnoodle. Current round is at dumpling. Let's wait a few days.
[Android Software Development] heinhuiz:
OK. I always forget that 17.1 and 18.1 are built according to different schedules. Thanks.
[Android Software Development] s80_gad:
I got to read about treble, clearly the fact that I can install it without any Google apps is promising. However in order to complete the process I need TWRP which is not available for UMIDIGI Bison PRO. Is there a way to flash the system with SP flash tool as it is with the stock rom?

So I have unlocked the bootloader, flashed patched boot (magisk), got root but then I though all those restarts are due to the unlocking (clearly they aren't). So yeah is there any way to flash it with SP flash as all the custom roms even require TWRP to wipe out Dalvik cache and system partiitions
[Android Software Development] Keule-Tm:
By googling less than a minute, somehow magically a link popped up, which seems to answer most of what you were asking for: https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-umidigi-bison-pro/

To wipe cache and/or system you could try the following commands:

fastboot erase cache and/or

Early Christmas gift! Thank you Santa Kurt 🎁🎄🤶
[Android Software Development] s80_gad:
Thanks Keule-Tm for your post. I feel like many people rush to answer without reading the full post properly the first time (with all my respect). I have already rooted the phone and flashed the patched boot.img with sp flash - so no issues here! Then locked it back again to try if it is ok if I fully reset it couple of times but no change

While the commands to wipe cache and/or system appear to be the ones I might be looking for the more important is how to flash the alternative system.img - whether that will be lineage, android GSI or DotOs etc, because my phone has super.img which contains other partitions incl the system. img - see the attached image.

So do I just flash for example system-roar-arm64-ab-vanilla.img.xz (of course unpacked first) directly over the super.img or not?

Then the more important question is if something goes wrong, will the phone work with simply flashing the stock super.img in the same area?..

P.S. I read a little bit about super.img and other things here - https://xdaforums.com/t/editing-system-img-inside-super-img-and-flashing-our-modifications.4196625/ which is super useful, but I still don't have the skills to add/modify the super.img.

I know those posts are long posts but and appreciate if you read them in full.
[Android Software Development] Keule-Tm:
Well, maybe you should ask in the respective threads. Threads on your specific device (or, if you can't find one, on the brand or the processor), this super img thread you linked yourself, the thread on the specific GSI you want to flash...

This thread is not on a GSI, but on a full ROM.
[Android Software Development] s80_gad:
Thanks again for your reply. If you check my original post on page 115 I think it will make more sense to you. I am interested in that specific ROM but still haven't received any specific replies on what I can do in order to create that (I am aware that ROM is not available for my device yet). Instead I have been forwarded to the GSI/Treble project which is interesting read, and I got 2 replies from you which with all my respect are not on the spot. Thanks anyway. I hope someone who is part of the project can provide some guidance

Hello,

Does someone have a headphone and in particular jack 3.5 problems with? After the latest OTA update, I've got it.

Nothing happens when I plug the headphone device into the jack 3.5. The sound goes through speaker without detecting any event from the OS.

Is it some regression or something?
[Android Software Development] kurtn:
Most probably this is dust in your jack. Take a thin wooden stick and scratch it out.

Yeah, I did it before reporting and got nothing. The jack is cleanest than my @SS :D

Panicking because my new OnePlus 8 (aka instantnoodle) is stuck on boot animation for over 3 hours now and the power button isn't turning it off. Power + volume down to get to recovery mode is also not working. When I connect to my PC via ADB, the computer can't find the device.

It's a brand new phone with OOS11 and latest updates. I had installed TWRP and performed a successful backup. After installing the latest .zip file from the here via sideloading in TWRP recovery, per these instructions, the very first reboot brings me to the LOS logo boot animation.

Yes, I copied the partitions. I did not root after installing TWRP, but I did backup to my PC, so I have a backup file to go back to OOS11.

Please help me, I cannot have bricked this thing I just bought.
[Android Software Development] CurlyTemple:
Update: was able to press all buttons at once to get into Fastboot, then flash TWRP recovery from there. It appeared that my storage was totally full, so I wiped and reformatted both slots.

Now I have a really messed up situation with OOS11 going into a boot loop when I reboot SlotA from TWRP, and Lineage for MicroG starting up alright when I reboot SlotB (altho Wifi doesn't work). Luckily TWRP is recovery app for both slots.

Will I mess things up further if I go to SlotB, sideload the L4MG .zip file again to get it onto SlotA? What I had done was make a backup on SlotB, then restore it to SlotB. I thought that would get L4MG on both sides but it just made the L4MG B slot work and the OOS A Slot bootloop.
[Android Software Development] topaza:
I cannot really help you with your situation as I don´t have or know your device. But I am pretty sure that it is not a hard brick. :)

I think this is the wrong thread and it might be more effective to ask your questions in the specific device forum:

https://xdaforums.com/c/oneplus-8.10349/

Especially the LOS thread for your phone will probably be the best option to get help with this:

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-official-instantnoodle-11-lineageos-18-1.4255819/
[Android Software Development] CurlyTemple:
Alright, so I went all in. With ADB, I pushed the L4MG.zip file onto the phone. Then from TWRP, I booted to SlotA and wiped it, then Rebooted to SlotB and used the Install feature and selected the L4MG.zip file. Then I rebooted to SlotA and did the same, so it installed on SlotB, it restarted into L4MG perfectly, appears to be working.

You should know that LOS Official thread or the Libre Chat for LOS18.1 or the reddit for LOS18.1 will absolutely not help anyone with L4MG and they are very rude about it, so best not to refer people to them. I think this is why L4MG has not realized we need device-specific threads for L4MG.
[Android Software Development] topaza:
Glad to hear it is working now! :)

I think you got things wrong here. I do not know the libre chat but I know XDA forum. And basically LOS and LOS+MG are nearly identical. So with problems like yours there is most likely no difference if you use LOS oder LOS+MG.

From my point of view most people here are willing to help others and do not care much about the differences between guys from LOS team and MicroG team.

Hello, I want to install this ROM but in the “Installation instructions” I read, literally: “Before installing the ZIP you should check that it has the correct signature. You have to use a Python script to verify the signature...”.

Is this step necessary? Because I don't know how to do it.
[Android Software Development] heinhuiz:
It's more like a legal notice for when the zip you are about to install has been tampered with, to shift the responsibility for installing malware to you. If you trust (the source of) your zip you can install it.

[Android Software Development] heinhuiz:
@the_Pan You won't find LOS for microG when there is no official LOS, because these are based on that. And for many developers it is too much of a hassle to make there rom official, because you have some commitments to make if you do.

I am currently using LineageOs with microG 18.1-20220121-nightly-xz2c-signed and F-Droid wants to update UnifiedNlp (no GAPPS).
