Not necessarily a funny joke

Personally, I wouldn't bundle a joke in with a scheduled update, nor would I expect my entire user community to effortlessly know how to remove it. Some jokes are harmless. Others are not. Perhaps I am just one of those people who wants to be able to TRUST the software I am installing (and no, I am not so blind as to assume I always can). Lord knows there are enough malicious types out there messing with enough things as it is. I am sure that, as a joke, no one at LOS was actively trying to be cruel (at least I hope not) but there are 'inside' jokes you can share with your closest associates, and jokes that are meant for global consumption. Most adults who "know better" know the difference between the two, that's all.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] F3nn3c:
Thank you for the suggestion. Well, if it is an April Fools joke, it might be funny, but not being able to clear it from a notification area is actually a nuisance. I truly hope that Lineage will release another build to clear this up - I rely on my phone a lot, and although I am all for having a bit of fun, I certainly prefer a clean, well polished and smoothly running interface, that does not detract me from whatever I am doing at the moment. As a short time fix, I had to delegate Lineage OS system notifications to the bottom of the stack, just to get rid of an exclamation mark...
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
You are very welcome. We all are supposed to be here to be mutually supportive, after all :D ANYWAY - if re-flashing the last update, which in my cases left everything else about my devices unaffected, is an unsavory choice, there were some other suggestions about minor build.prop edits, etc.. which I am confident would also do the trick. Last year's LOS 01 April joke was some passive "mascot" animation and the updates after 08 April removed it. I think it is reasonable to expect the same will happen this year, and it looks as if the relevant postings on lineage.org now reflect that (which I do NOT recall seeing there yesterday, but at this point, who cares ?). As for me - I guess I will just avoid installing future LOS updates plus or minus a week from 01 April. If letting the developers blow off some steam by making these sorts of things keeps things moving forward, so be it. Good Luck.

I ran this command and rebooted my device. Worked for me.

"setprop persist.lineage.nofool true"
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] mael976:
Hi,

I got the update today, so for an april fool joke it's late, and kinda bad since we cannot remove the notification easily.

Anyone have a suggestion to remove it without root?

I did not root my phone because some app does not work with it root, and I did not wanted to search for 3 days to make them work on root.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
As previously mentioned ......

Without root, the best approach is probably to dirty flash the previous build - don't clear caches, etc.... At least, it worked for the three devices I used that approach on. OR, wait patiently until 08 April. The next set of updates will remove the nonsense if they are true to their "lineage." :eek:

Sadly, on a scale of 1 to 10, not very bright. Good Luck.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
You can apply the command in twrp or adb.

Bloody stupid thing to do.
[Nextbit Robin] wpost:
I'm new to XDA and to ROMs, so let me begin by saying hello and thank you to the regular posters. Many of my initial questions were answered by browsing and searching here.

My Nextbit Robin is still on the factory ROM: 7.1.1, security patch level April 1 2017. That's already too long to go without security updates in my opinion, hence my interest in moving to a maintained ROM that gets regular security fixes. My questions are:

Are there ROMs for Nextbit that are especially good on security updates? Or alternatively ROMs that aren't?

How are security updates usually handled by ROMs? Are they rolled into regular OTA updates? Are they separate and have to be manually applied? Something else?

Those ROMs I've looked most closely at (OmniROM and LineageOS) are at 7.1.2, just one minor release beyond the factory's 7.1.1. Does this imply that OmniROM and LineageOS's security releases haven't proceeded beyond when 7.1.2 was released quite some time ago?

I did search this forum, the sites of OmniROM and LineageOS, and the web, but if the answers are out there I didn't find them. Telling me to RTFM is fine; just point me to the FM.

Although I would not reject other things that ROMs can bring (improved performance vs. factory ROM, non-security bugfixes, new features, etc.), my chief interest is in keeping the phone up to date with all future security fixes via automatic OTA that I don't have to think about. Anything else that comes along with that would be great but would not be part of my decision making.

Feel free to go beyond my questions and point out things that I haven't mentioned but ought to know. I'm don't mind admitting that I'm new at this and there's a lot I don't yet know.
[Nextbit Robin] :
1. I recommend LineageOS. It's good on security updates. (Currently on March 5, 2018 security patch level.)

2. Yes, They are rolled into regular OTA. They usually include security updates within one or two weeks after they are released.

3. I may not have understood the third quesion correctly. 7.1.2 is the latest version of Android 7.x.x. After That It's 8.x. I don't think that affects the security updates.

OTA updates are checked automatically and you will be notified once an update available. But they won't be downloaded automatically. You have to press download button and then install it.

If you are planning to use encryption, you should use TWRP from LineageOS. I had problems with decrypting using TWRP from their official site.

And there are Oreo roms for robin. I think they also have latest security patches. I can't tell you much about them because I haven't tried all of them. However I've used AICP 13.1 and unofficial LineageOS 15.1 (OREO) releases (Read the last few pages of this thread and you can download them from here). Both are very usable. AICP is more customizable.
[Nextbit Robin] wpost:
Thank you for the clear and complete answer. This will be my project for next weekend then.
[Nextbit Robin] iluvatrix:
Interesting that you brought up TWRP from Lineage OS.

I had used TWRP from TWRP site which I need to Format Data at first use which will decrypt me. So if I want to stay encrypted I should use TWRP from Lineage OS not normal TWRP?
[Nextbit Robin] :
Yeah.

I had the same problem while using official version. I couldn't install OTA updates while using encryption because twrp can't decrypt data partition.

Also I think I read somewhere to remove any screen locks before encrypting (set them after). But I'm not sure if it's necessary.
[Nextbit Robin] iluvatrix:
I'm confused now.

I want to be encrypted while on Lineage.

So if I rolled back to last stock ROM which is encrypted I should then flash the Lineage twrp you linked?

Thereafter on Lineage with Lineage twrp remaining encrypted I would be able to receive Lineage ota updates?
[Nextbit Robin] :
TWRP can't decrypt stock encryption. If you're coming from stock you have to Format Data before installing lineage. After flashing lineage, you can encrypt the phone again. Then twrp (from lineage) can decrypt it.

If you are already on lineage and not encrypted, just flash that TWRP from lineage and encrypt the phone from settings.

If you're on lineage and encrypted, you can try flashing that TWRP. but I don't know if it'll be able to decrypt since I haven't tried to do that.

And yes, you would be able to install OTA updates.
[Nextbit Robin] iluvatrix:
Thanks for the detailed response. I'm concerned about encrypting under Lineage & getting bricked.

Is there a way to go from Stock encrypted > Lineage encrypted directly?
[Nextbit Robin] :
I don't think that's possible
[Nextbit Robin] iluvatrix:
Yeah no prob

I'll just run unencrypted
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] repomanz:
Hi folks.

I have a Nexus 6 (shamu) with an unlocked boot loader. I have been dirty flashing up since LineageOS 14 > 15 and now to 15.1 (lineageos beta 4). I know I need to wipe my phone to get to the official release track of LineageOS 15.1 but would also like to re-lock the boot loader to mitigate physical attacks on my phone.

What is the proper order to get to 15.1 and re-lock the boot loader given my scenario? If you have the proper steps around the re-locking the boot loader and tools required please let me know those as well.

JJ
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmarv31:
I dont think you can relock the bootloader with lineage 15.1 on your phone I believe you have to be on stock in order to do that which is 7.1.1 and I always used Wugs Toolkit

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
I think it's too early to tell the impact of most of those changes in my usage so far. Fingerprint sensor response has improved for me.

The biggest thing I was looking forward to was all the mentions of battery life improvements. Unfortunately battery life doesn't appear to be any better but so far doesn't appear to be any worse. The February and March updates really hurt battery life.

No issue for me. I don't think that's a software issue. I think it's a hardware issue. The same thing happened on my Nexus 5X
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] tluley51:
I am on my second day of the April security patch and my battery life has gotten much worse. I got it launch day and I have always gotten 5-6 hours SoT for 18 hours off charge and still have 30% battery left. Yesterday I got 3.5 SoT for 18 hours and was at 4% when I plugged it in. I never had any adverse effect of battery life with the monthly patches until now. I havent factory reset since I bought the phone.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] danw_oz:
for me the initial install of April the battery life was better than March by far, but the next few days definitely doesn't seem much better, so pretty scary how quick the fall off was for the battery life fall off when looking the the battery stats pages. Touch responsiveness is much better, and generally the phone now feels like it should have been from the beginning.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ryclegman:
Usually by the end of the day im left with about 15 -20%. Now im to 15% around 5 or 6PM. Battery definitely draining much faster
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AndrasLOHF:
My battery life has gotten stupidly better. First day was close to 5 hours SOT with 50% battery left at 20 hours off charger(normally would have been 2-3 hour SOT pre April patch). Right now I'm at 2 hours SOT at 75% battery left with 11 hours off charger. Most of my SOT is games(Clash Royale, Final Fantasy Pocket Edition) so it's not like my usage is lite. Though personally I feel as if the patch has gotten my battery life back to how it was at launch before the first patch. I'm thinking some of those carrier optimizations were for Project Fi as that's what I have.
