[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NeatNit:
How are we expected to run updates when the vendor image is updated every month? I can think of the following options:

Option A: Fastboot first, OTA-style update

1. Reboot into Fastboot

2. Flash vendor, bootloader and radio

3. Reboot into LineageOS

4. Install the update from Settings -> System -> About Phone -> LineageOS updates

Potential issue: version mismatch in step 3 - vendor is newer than the version Lineage expects.

Option B: OTA-style update first, then Fastboot

1. Install the update from Settings -> System -> About Phone -> LineageOS updates

2. Allow the installation to finish

3. The phone will automatically reboot into the newly-updated version

4. Allow the "finalizing update" thing to finish

5. Reboot into Fastboot

6. Flash vendor, bootloader and radio

7. Reboot into LineageOS

Potential issue: version mismatch in step 3 - vendor is older when LineageOS boots.

Option C: Manual update

1. Download (but do not install) the update from Settings -> System -> About Phone -> LineageOS updates

2. Reboot into Fastboot

3. Flash vendor, bootloader and radio

4. Reboot into TWRP

5. Install the update manually from its stored location

6. Reboot into LineageOS

Potential issues: more inconvenient; user is presented with confusing options when picking the update to be installed; LineageOS doesn't get to "prepare for the update", whatever that means.

Option D: OTA update to be stopped in the middle

1. Install the update from Settings -> System -> About Phone -> LineageOS updates

2. While TWRP is applying the update, hold down the volume down button and don't let go

3. When the update finishes and the phone tries to reboot, it will instead go into Fastboot

4. Flash vendor, bootloader and radio

5. Reboot into LineageOS

Potential issues: in step 2, I don't know whether the volume down button can be interpreted by TWRP to mean anything - this method only works correctly if this input is ignored; in step 5, LineageOS is booted "normally" - is there a special "post-update" boot parameter or something like that, that might get lost in this process? I genuinely don't know.

FWIW I've been using Option D for a few months now and have had no issues, but "I don't see any issues" and "there are no issues" are two very different things and I'm a paranoid guy.

Mostly I want to know - how did the developer(s) intend that we apply these monthly updates?

P.S. not really related, but the mid-month updates are so painless to apply with a new enough version of TWRP, it's wonderful :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Lughnasadh:
November's security update is likely the last for this phone, so you don't need to worry about it.

And to be honest, updating is pretty simple. If its just the vendor updated, just download the rom and vendor, flash them both via TWRP.

If bootloader and radio get updated, just flash those via fastboot and then flash the rom.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tinuthir:
Anyone here have an idea whether this is feasible? :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] gee one:
It possible to flash the radio, vendor, and bootloader through recovery. You can grab the google OTA for november (search fro google factory images) and strip out the system* and boot.img files. Then update the updater-script to skip the system and boot flashes. Zip it up (and maybe sign it) and you should be good to go.

My bootloader is re-locked, so I do this regularly. PM me if you want the file for November.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] malikmoazzam1:
the boot loader relock happens happen to mee

also
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] kungfury:
I'm on the November 13 build and swipe fingerprint for notifications is not working for me for some reason. I have fingerprints set up and that works just fine. I came from the November factory image and also made sure to flash radio, bootloader and vendor images before flashing the ROM. Any ideas or tips?

edit : it started working after an update to Nov 14 build

edit 2 : in case others are facing this issue, just dirty flash the rom once after setup, it starts working after that
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tinuthir:
This is such good advice (and thanks for posting in more detail over on reddit as well!) because it's such a plausible solution - I almost wonder whether I should have thought of this myself. I'll get into this method and try getting it to work before asking for your own file. Teach a man how to fish...

Thanks so much!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tinuthir:
Worked like a charm - thanks for your assistance!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] attr_reader:
Does anybody know if Camera NX is working again on the latest Nov 14 build? I'm still running the Aug 20 build which works perfectly and don't want to upgrade if things break. Thanks
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] frauhottelmann:
Works for me
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tinuthir:
Crashes upon launch for me. It asked for permissions, but then it died. I installed it as a system app in case you wanted to know.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] attr_reader:
Bummer. I see there's a new nightly build: Nov 15. Have you tried that yet?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tinuthir:
That's the only one I tried =)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] attr_reader:
Ah OK :) Was Camera NX working fine before installing the Nov 15 build? Do any other apps crash?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mattspew:
Now that they've gone back to nightly build, the updater needs options for the frequency of update checks; daily, weekly, monthly.

I'm pretty sure CM had more options a long time ago. On or Off isn't very useful anymore.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] attr_reader:
I wondered why I was getting so many update notifications. I didn't even realise they went back to nightly builds. Does this happen even if there are no changes to the build image?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NeatNit:
At the very least they should skip a build if there are no changes.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] attr_reader:
Agreed. Although I'm guessing it's a build script which runs every night, regardless of whether there are changes to the repository or not.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] gee one:
You don't have to flash it if you don't want to. You can check the changelogs to see if there are any new features you want.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NeatNit:
Of course, I already do this, but it's kind of annoying (and unprofessional) that the notifications pop up in the first place.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] rogers11:
Just switch them off
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mattspew:
That's not a user friendly solution.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] rogers11:
Can't get the picture. If you do not want daily notifications switch them off and check yourself at any day you want. Because of the daily builds there will always be a new build for you. And if you are afraid about forgetting to check yourself just set a reminder in your calender.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mattspew:
Again, this isn't a user-friendly solution.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] FeralG:
That's what I was doing for the past week, but not all significant changes are showing up in the changelogs. This morning I updated my tablet (as it's been a week since I last used it) to the most recent build, and discovered that MS Exchange services are now supported. I then checked the changelogs for both my tablet and Nexus 5X, and didn't see anything regarding Exchange support listed. I next checked my phone which I had updated two days ago, and there was no Exchange support on it. I went ahead and did the OTA update, and now the Exchange services are an option in the Accounts setup.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NoGoodUserNamesLeft:
Why would you even want a weekly or monthly update notification if the new builds are released daily? You can install the new release whenever you feel like it.

IMO you need a notification only if the builds are released at irregular intervals which is not the case with LineageOS.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mattspew:
Sweet! Just like the good old days of CM.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Саша Э:
Do you plan to release lineage os 16?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tinuthir:
Can't say, because I used the regular Google Camera so far.

BTW, in today's nightly (Nov 19), it still crashes upon launch.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] FeralG:
Thank You. Those are actually very helpful.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] kickokim:
Hello, I think this is a known bug on stock rom, I was surprised to find it also on Lineage OS, has anyone got a fix for this? On android 8.1, the issue is with WhatsApp voice messages: when I ear voice notes without putting the phone to ear, they play trough the ear-speaker at low volume. When I put the phone to ear, it turns off the screen, but it plays the sound through the loud speaker, not the ear-speaker. The proximity sensor is working, but the audio seems to inverted.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] attr_reader:
Hi, I've noticed the exact same bug. Currently running LineageOS 15.1 Aug 20 2018 build and WhatsApp 2.18.341. I wonder if this could perhaps be a WhatsApp issues?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] kickokim:
I know it also happens with other messaging apps so it's probably a device/Rom specific issue
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mattspew:
How do I read this page to know when the change has been included in a release?

Has anybody the issue that some apps of Google Play store (ex. Instagram, Kingdom rush, etc) can't be installed, because of the message "your device is not compatible with this version" ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
Not sure exactly where I've gone wrong but last night (drunkenly) I was messing with updating my phone etc and now even after wiping cache/systm it bootloops to recovery with a clean install of Lineage and open GApps, did my N5 just happen to get the boot loop bug tonight or have I done something? are the latest (tried the last 3) nightlies no good? any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] manter:
has anyone noticed that when phone is plugged in it starts to behave as if it was in do not disturb mode ? no notification/ringing sounds only vibrates ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] razorloves:
Top left corner. If it says "Active", that means it's undergoing code review. You can read the comments to see how it's going.

Once code review is done and it's merged, it will say "Merged". Any builds after that will have the change.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] malikmoazzam1:

Great, what about pie? Are you working on it?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nARMstrong20:
I think the link OP posted right above you answers your question.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] razorloves:
i added a note in the first post the other day.

"NOTE: The su binary is included in my builds for root, but it is disabled by default. You can enable root in the developer options. If you want to pass safetynet, you have to disable it."

There's no option to hide it from only certain apps. If you want to use a bank app or some other app that checks safetynet, then root has to be disabled in dev options. You can read more about here https://www.lineageos.org/Changelog-9/

You can still use magisk, if you want. Should work like it always has. The root settings in dev options will be disabled when magisk is installed.

anyone with ElementalX Kernel here? any issues ? thx

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Heyperion1999:
Thanks for the update! I really like the new Advanced restart menu and the possibility to change the brightness of the notification LED.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ls.costa:
Is there a way to ajust "Lock Screen Mode" under System profiles? It appears grayed out and with the following message: "This profile option is disabled by a device administrator policy"

Thanks in advance!

AdAway for example since it needs to update the database on daily basis
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Pete02:
Hey guys, new to Lineage here. Flashed the latest build and got everything working for the most part but I'm having a problem with notifications. Text msgs come right thru but no led flashing. Apps like my mail and chess don't notify at all. What am I missing?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] petie2106:
there are some infos when LineageOS 15.1 official releases?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] fleischbanane:
This will bring a lot of fun... :D

Don't ask for official releases! It will be released as soon as it's ready.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] bjoerniko:
Go to settings/apps & notifictions/notifcations. Is notification light enabled?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Pete02:
Yep, been everywhere thru the menus and everything is turned on but nothing wants to update unless I open it manually. Except calls and texts for some reason, they come thru fine.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] CLPose:
Hi, there! You can try with the setting/ battery/ *** (three dots)/ Batery optimizations/. Make sure you disable battery optimizations for those apps you want notifications to come thru. Good luck!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Pete02:
Thx but the apps I need aren't even listed there. It just shows a bunch of apps and says "optimization isn't allowed for this app" on each one. I'm clueless as to what I'm missing. The only thing I changed was the notifications on the lock screen, I have that set to hide sensitive stuff but that's never caused a problem before.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] CLPose:
You're almost there. Tap on "not optimized" and select "all apps". Then change your apps to "not optimized". Notifications for "not optimized" apps should work fine. Good luck!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Pete02:
Just tried that and still nothing. You were right, all those apps were optimized but changing that setting in the individual apps didn't work. Thx for your help and if you think of anything else I do appreciate it.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] CLPose:
I can think of Greenify or some similar app that keeps your phone in deep sleep so it can't wake up when notifications come in. Good luck!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Pete02:
Yeah I don't use any of that stuff. I'll just keep at it. Thx again.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] manter:
horrible for me. same 2 SOT. fast charging while watching YT with some stuff in background gives like 1% per 10 min.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] schlumpfschlaubi:
i must say, i have this problem too. e-Mail or whatsapp message is coming and - the phone does vibrate and give notification Sound but no led notification. the led notification settings are correct for lineageos and for the app are correct.

and sometimes it works. its confusing
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] marcocsh:
I just updated the ROM from the 14 Nov version to the last version through OTA. After the first reboot, the system said google play service wasn't installed and pop up a lot of error messages. I think there is an error in the OTA update to clear the google play service I have installed.

Has anyone the same problem?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tinuthir:
Can't confirm. Do you mean Nov28 or Nov27 when you say "latest"?

I'm running Nov27, and there only change listed in the changelog is Trebuchet-related, so there really isn't any reason why this should happen.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] crazybird82:
Thx to all now it works great for me! :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AutomaticFailure27:
Is anyone using this rom with projectfi? How does it work for you? Any issues? I'm curious since I've been having issues with aosip since I switched. Thanks.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] miko083:
Had the same problem a few months ago, I was updating lineage average like once a month without any problem, and I one time I had the same issuse like you. I had to perform wipe etc. Don't know what caused the problem, probably something with the gaaps maybe? Not sure.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] marcocsh:
I mean 28 Nov.

Because I don't know what the problem is, I dirty flash the ROM, gapps, and magisk in recovery and it worked. No more error message after boot.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] kanoradoking:
Thank you for this. I had to dust off the Nexus 5X as a backup phone, and Lineage has it running like the day I got it over 3 years ago.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] cmattern:
My backup phone is a 5x running this ROM, it's rock solid for me on Fi when I need it, usually when I've done something interesting to my taimen....
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] crisis_trustee:
What about lineage-16.0-bullhead?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AutomaticFailure27:
Alright, good to hear. I've basically been having issues with my number showing wrong calling out and I have a feeling it's with AOSIP and some backend code in the provisioning. Hopefully, I'll get some time to flash LOS and it fixes the issue.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] sudolaw:
Does Google Camera still crash on the newest build?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mattspew:
I've never had any issues with the Google Camera, are you sure you've got the correct gAapps installed?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] sinkoo1979:
Download links not working
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] sudolaw:
I'm sure, yes. Open GApps, ARM64, 8.1, aroma variant. I flashed one of the official early November builds and the latest GApps at the time, but Google Camera would always force close. So I tried with an earlier build and earlier GApps, but I encountered the same problem. I went back to the August 20 build and the GApps at that time, and it worked perfectly. I want to update, but I'm not sure if updating now would break anything.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AutomaticFailure27:
It's been a few hours since I've installed the latest nightly and only noticed a few things:

Google Camera - Works but ends up 'crashing' when exiting

Quick Tiles - Is there no tile for changing the ringer from ringer/vibrate/silent?

Wake - Double tap to wake on navigation bar? I see status bar has it but anyway to enable it for navigation bar?

Battery Icon - The icon for the battery is present along side the percentage. Anyway to completely replace with percentage and remove battery icon?

Dark mode seems to be iffy, it sometimes applies to certain areas, sometimes it colors the text so it can't be read

Otherwise, it's been less than a night actually with this rom and for the most part, it had all the customization I had back in AOSIP
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tinuthir:
Google Camera works for me, but not Google Camera NX (which is the port with some addition features included).
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AutomaticFailure27:
i got NX to work fine it seems. I was trying one of those other camera mods from Arnova8G2 that didn't seem to work and kept crashing. I'll keep messing around with it.

Do you happen to have any of the other issues or solutions to the ones I mentioned?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tinuthir:
Can't comment on any of those, no. Haven't experienced the dark mode issue you mentioned, and beyond that, I haven't been a user of the features you're looking for so I don't know.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mattspew:
Are you installing gapps every time you update the OS? You don't need to.

Just install the August builds that worked, check it, and then only update LineageOS.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] sudolaw:
OK, I did that, and Google Camera still worked. Thanks! I just have two questions. I know I can update Google apps from Google Play, but is it possible to update stock/AOSP apps? Or is it not necessary to update them? Also, I want to add an exchange account to the stock email app (not Gmail), but it won't let me and says that it "couldn't open connection to server." I know my login credentials are correct.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mattspew:
No worries.

I'll have to let someone else answer the other questions; my guess is they're updated with LineageOS updates, but I have no idea.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AutomaticFailure27:
Just an update on how / if I fixed some of the issues I was having.

Google Camera - Works but ends up 'crashing' when exiting Installed NX camera (I think or it was a gcam port) Works just fine now.

Quick Tiles - Is there no tile for changing the ringer from ringer/vibrate/silent? Installed an app called Tiles, gives me this exact option

Wake - Double tap to wake on navigation bar? I see status bar has it but anyway to enable it for navigation bar? Added a gesture into Nova Launcher to double tap the home screen

Battery Icon - The icon for the battery is present along side the percentage. Anyway to completely replace with percentage and remove battery icon? Haven't found a way to just get battery percentage, something I just have to get used to

Dark mode seems to be iffy, it sometimes applies to certain areas, sometimes it colors the text so it can't be read Still glitches out, just minor bugs really

I can say, that this is probably the best rom I've used to date. After a full day and a couple reboots, I still managed to pull 4.5hrs SOT which before I was maybe getting 2/2.5hrs. Not sure why I didn't try this rom sooner. Everything seems to work just fine, have had minimal app crashes (more due to restoring with TiBu) Can't wait and see what else is in store for our Nexus 5X.

APN issues after wipe and clean install

Has anyone had issues with APN on Verizon lately with lineage? I have been having issues coincidentally since the same time I cracked my screen and needed to replace it with a cheap Amazon screen + frame. After the replacement I decided to update again because it had been a few weeks and I'm having major network issues now. My Verizon APN defaults are all caps which I understand to be incorrect. I cannot add a custom APN or modify an existing one. Everything is greyed out. Which other folks have had happen but I have had no luck with. Did a full wipe and clean install of vendor, radio, bootloader, lineage, pico, and su with the exact same situation as before the wipe. Not sure what could be causing this. I have a hard time believing it's hardware restricting me from modifying APN. I need to get a consistent network back because I'll constant drop data, require reboot to fix, etc.

I can't find Settings > Display > Cast. Is Miracast support removed?
