Cool, thanks a lot. Happy to see the privacy guard has finally arrived :) For me that ist the requirement for using LineageOS.

So I installed it, but I can't find the option to block cellular data and/or Wi-Fi for certain apps. It used to be at each app preference ("App-Info"); before, it was directly in the privacy guard (which I preferred). Is it somewhere new / did I miss it or is this feature not yet implemented?

Where will it be this time?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] razorloves:
not implemented yet

This serously f*cks up WiFi. Even when reverting back to a full stock backup the phone almost hangs when trying to enable WiFi, no WiFi! Please help I have lost any WiFi even after reflashing jan radio etc...

Did you flash the right vendor?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] marcelojudoka:
This ROM works with latest franco kernel?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] GGHolz:
Does lineage improve battery life? I'm on stock and I can't get more than 3 hours on screen even if I'm on airplane mode :(
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] r3act:
Yes I did.

I had to use fastboot to flash-all.bat a full factory image in order to get WiFi working again...
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] razorloves:
As mentioned already, that's likely caused by wrong vendor img. Or you didn't follow installation steps properly.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] r3act:
I was on stock Jan'18 before and was running your jan15 lineage rom so I had the vendor, radio, bootloader etc and followed the steps. Upon dirty flashing the 27 update wifi got lost. Might have been something in my setup? Its solved now ayway. Thanx for a great ROM!

So I managed to boot it with unofficial GApps and Magisk with some help by [MENTION=614507]razorloves[/MENTION]. Thank you very much. Didn't wipe any partition but only flashed the new build.

Only wanted to mention this for other people who needs to hide root for certain apps like banking apps and so on.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] provolinoo:
Is the embedded SU able to pass SafetyNet and hide root for certain apps?

If it isn't, can I still use Magisk instead keeping embedded SU off in developer settings?

:)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] frauhottelmann:
Root turned off:
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] frauhottelmann:
Safety net:
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] provolinoo:
Of course it works because you have root disabled, but with Magisk you can pass safetynet check even with root enabled using its hiding techniques.

I need to have root enabled since some apps use it, that's why I was wondering if embedded su could do the same

Problem with Magisk v17

Hi Guys!

Anyone else experiencing issues with the latest Magisk v17?

For me it installed flashing from the recovery at first but the phone was unable to boot then.

I had reflashed the system and the phone booted but now it gives me errors when i try to flash Magisk back and it is not installed.

:eek:
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ccgx:
Had the same problem. I uninstalled magisk using magisk-uninstaller.zip in recovery, rebootet to system without magisk, shut down again und installed magisk again with the magisk17.zip in twrp. Now I can boot.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mattspew:
I had no issues at all. None!

Magisk notification promoted to install v17, I hit okay, hit direct install, hit reboot, phone rebooted, done.

All done in-app without TWRP.

Edit: Just for fun I restarted my phone three time and then shutdown and turned back on three times, all without any problems.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mastic544:
Has anyone else noticed that lineage suddenly reserves a lot of space for itself? My system memory detector under "storage" says 16GB and that's half my available memory! I've already tried wiping the cache, continued with dalvik and system but after reinstalling lineage even without Gapps it still takes up 16gb of space...
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Banan PL:
Check /data/media folder and don't remove 0
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] JJ111:
Just in case you haven't already seen, 17.1 is supposed to fix the problem:

"Hotfix v17.1

There was some incompatibility issues when upgrading from v16.0 to v17.0. If you are caught in a bootloop, first use the uninstaller to completely remove Magisk, then flash v17.1, I'm extremely sorry for all stuck in bootloops." (quote from https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445/page5 )

Everything worked fine with 17.1 for me.

Many greetings to you all

I've got this persistent notification which won't go away.

Any idea what this is and how to get rid of it?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tinuthir:
Which of the two is the persistent one?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] JJ111:
If it's the Privacy Guard Notification that annoys you, you can easily turn it of:

(I translate it to English, so it might be named differently)

Go to Settings -> Security & data protection -> Trust -> data protection -> click on top right 3 dots -> deactivate "show notification"

I too have this always popping up notification deactivated, don't know, why turning it of is hidden so well...

Hope I could help
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
I seem to have to flash these with every update, even a nightly dirty update - once the phone boots it says my vendor image doesn't match, so I gotta **** around with ADB and flash this **** every time. Anyone know why? It says if you have them you shouldn't need to flash them again, but it seems the ROM is doing something to make you need to flash them? I have no idea, just reporting my problem.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] gee one:
That's just part of updating the ROM. It flashes the most recent vendor image/radio/bootloader (if any) so that your phone is up-to-date. Once you flash it, you generally don't need to do it again, until there is an updated one. In other words, you don't need to flash the old version again, but if there is a new version, you should update it as well. Google is putting out updates about once a month for the vendor files.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
Anyone else have issues withtheir camera not focusing at all with the latest nightly? It just... won't focus, even when I tap the screen to force a focus, can't take pictures of text because it's too blurry.

I had the case open recently, could a part of the focusing mechanism have fell out and fuked it up that I now gotta replace? I rememberthe Nexus 5 had some rubber gaskets on the sensors around the camera but I don't know if the 5X does or not, don't see any on the teardown pictures and they look the same as mine so i'm thinking software issue.

Thanks in advance.

https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/topic:android-8.1.0_r46

So, you'll need the new september vendor img for the next lineage build, which should come out tomorrow, like normal..

The radio and bootloader img's are the same as in last month's update from google, so no need to flash them.

I extracted the img's from the september OPM6.171019.030.K1 factory image. You can get them here:

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=282067
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] attr_reader:
Is it advised to flash the September vendor image before or after updating via "About phone -> LineageOS updates -> Download"? Thanks
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] razorloves:
Neither. Reboot into twrp and flash the rom zip and vendor img
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] BreckZeBoulay:
If you make the update of LOS via OTA, after flash the phone will reboot automaticaly and warn you that vendor.img is not the good version.

It's not a problem. After that, reboot to TWRP and flash the new vendor.img.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Ruka82:
I noticed a difference on Privacy Guard, "Background execution" (i don't know if it's the name that appear in English, in Italian was "Esecuzione in background") disappear. With some apps (Facebook lite for example) no notifications, I must open the app then appear eventually notifications. I have also the official last lineage on my nexus 7 and there background execution is present, notifications work without open the app. It's a know issue? Problem present after update and also after clean install on the last Monday.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] androidalexm:
I think there is a bug with the last update. I use to hide the navigation bar using the extended desktop feature in settings. Anyway, after the update, when I'm using this feature, sometimes the lockscreen lags. The phone gets black even after the fingerprint unlock and it keeps black for a few seconds. I can hear the unlock sound and the fingerprint vibration, but the screen keeps black. After some seconds everything becomes normal and I can use the phone again.

I don't have any modified kernel, no xposed. Only magisk. Already tried wiping cache and dalvik.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Adai0:
A few builds ago I was able to go to the first screen when double pushing the "home" button. I thought this was a bug and it would be fixed some updates later. However this still exists... Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to change the behaviour?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mattspew:
I thought it was just me; I pretty sure you used to be able to single-tap home to return to the main screen at some point. I'm not sure when it stopped working.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] razorloves:
Yes, sadly the home button no longer works the way it used to, while on a home screen. That was caused by this change here:

https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...mmit/a77601a96c9dc0f7489e87a6ab0bb2499b8a9461

One of the app devs on lineage team looked into it a few weeks ago and said google is to blame and that it's not easily fixed. :(
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mattspew:
Thanks for clearing that up; I'm not going crazy.

I only have two screens, so it's not a huge deal for me.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Adai0:
Yes. Thank's for clarifying.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mattspew:

Hello, i've been using this rom and i got a notification about the OTA update so i tried installing that. after the instalation it just boots back into TWRP. What should i do?

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tinuthir:
I had the same issue. I checked the TWRP log, and it says that the .zip file is corrupt. Not sure why that is... I rebooted to Android, exported the update file to the sdcard folder "LineageOS Updates", and then manually flashed the update via TWRP. That worked for me.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] birimbecas:
Thanks for the reply but what do you mean by reboot to Android? The whole problem is that the phone gets to the boot animation and then reboots into twrp
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tom0769:
For now you should download the update from your pc or laptop, copy it to the device and flash it manually in twrp.

Be sure to use the twrp from op.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] birimbecas:
I tried doing that but still didnt work.

Ended up doing a clean install so its all good now.

Thanks anyway for your help
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tinuthir:
Sorry, I misunderstood, I thought the OS was still working (meaning: no change by TWRP to the OS), but that was wrong on my part. Sorry you had to do a clean install.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] CLPose:

You are welcome. Just make sure there is no other damage to the phone, otherwise LG will refuse to repair the BLOD until the damage is fixed. You can submit a repair request here: https://lgmobilerepair.com/request_repair. After entering in your IMEI, the website might say "warranty expired" so just ignore this message and continue.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] thepaperescape:
I just pulled my old 5X out from its hibernation and followed the LineageOS installation instructions to a T. I'm getting the following message on boot:

The thing is I am using the latest nightly (15.1-20181001) and in settings it shows it's on the Sept. security patch and the build number includes OPM6.171019.030.K1.

I've googled about this vendor image mismatch issue and most suggest extracting the vendor.img from the image it's requesting and flashing. Is this what I should be doing? Am I going to have to do this in the future? I am giving this phone to a friend who is in need of a working phone. He isn't the most tech literate and I don't want him to hassle too much in the future.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] giannism13:
Yep, you should flash the latest vendor image.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] thepaperescape:
I just flashed the vendor.img from OPM6.171019.030.K1 using latest twrp and still receive the same message on boot.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] giannism13:
It seems you flashed the September's vendor. Give October's a try and see if it works. If not, then you eitheroing something wrong or there is something else that is causing this problem, which I m not aware of
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] razorloves:
sounds like you used the one from google's driver binaries page. those are different. have to use the one in the factory image. see first post
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] thepaperescape:
lol. My problem was I accidentally flashed the October vendor.img instead of September's. I now get no warning.

So, is this warning going to reoccur with subsequent LOS updates?

Thanks for your help btw
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Lughnasadh:
Whenever monthly security updates are merged into a rom, you have to flash the corresponding monthly vendor to not get that warning. So once a month you have to flash a new vendor.

That being said, November will likely be the last monthly security update for Bullhead as Google is scheduled to end its support for this device. So when this rom merges the October security patches into a released build you'll have to flash the October vendor when updating the rom, and next month the November vendor.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] thepaperescape:
So, I understand this to mean that no additional factory images will be released by Google for Bullhead, but can you clarify: do you know if security updates will continue to be merged into LOS for Bullhead after the conclusion of their support via OTA factory image updates? In other words, will mismatch problems occur in December and onward?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Lughnasadh:
Correct. Google is scheduled to stop releasing factory images for Bullhead in November. So likely only 1 more next month.

I have no idea if LOS will continue supporting and building Bullhead Oreo after that. That question is best asked to one of the developers or the maintainer.

But if they do, there shouldn't be a problem with vendor mismatches since there will be no new vendors for which to match or mismatch.

Btw, the mismatch message you get is no big deal. Everything usually still works fine if say you are on a September vendor image but the rom has been updated to October, for example.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
Why do we need to update the bootloader/radio/vendor all the time with ROMs android 7-8+? like, just asking out of curiosity, I use to just be able to flash roms all day long without issue but now every time I flash a new lineage it *****es about vendor images. what gives? no other rom ever did this .
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Banan PL:
"no other rom ever did this"

Stock do that, Lineage OS do that, Pure Nexus do that, on other phones it does too.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tom0769:
There's no reason, why LOS should not support bullhead when there are no more official updates from google.

The Nexus 4 has been abandoned by Google years ago, but it's still supported by LOS 15.1!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Lughnasadh:
Well, I never said that they were or they were not going to continue support. I have no idea. But there are a variety of reasons why rom developers, any rom developers, drop support for devices. For example, I don't believe Hammerhead is supported by LOS 15.1.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] CLPose:
Well, you can get LOS 15.1 for Hammerhead if that's what you're looking for https://www.google.com.ar/amp/s/xda...ent/rom-lineageos-15-1-nexus-5-t3756643/amp/.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Lughnasadh:
Thanks. I wasn't looking for it. I was just giving an example of developers dropping "Official" support for older devices for one reason or another.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] :
Lol yes, I think he doesn't understand you.

Dropping a device just depends on his maintener so actually razorloves.

But I don't think the bullhead will stop from receiving support soon.

So, you'll need the new october vendor img for the next lineage build, which should be available in a few hours.

The radio and bootloader img's are the same as in last month's update from google, so no need to flash them.

This is with my computer on very fast connection, so far I have never been able to download the vendor on the phone it allways fails. Is there other places do download the vendor img from than androidfilehost? I know, this will soon not be a problem when there is no new vendors released.
