I'm using the TWRP linked in the LineageOS wiki. The offiical TWRP builds use a device tree that hasn't been updated since Android Marshmallow, and the UI is laggy to hell and back. This is not the case in the unofficial one from the Lineage wiki.

I used version 3230
[Nextbit Robin] brendonla:
Nope. Not sure what that even is.

I'm going to rewipe and reflash the ROM, gapps nano and Magisk again and see if the problem still occurs.

I really like this ROM, so hoping a fresh install might do the trick.

I'm on TWRP 3220. I'll try installing the TWRP in the original post.
[Nextbit Robin] Arktronic:
FBE?

Hi javelinanddart, thanks for continuing your work on maintaining LOS for the Robin.

Question: is it feasible to implement file-based encryption on this device? Thanks!
[Nextbit Robin] brendonla:
OK, so I upgraded to latest TWRP 3230, wiped, reflashed the ROM, gapps, and Magisk: reinstalling my apps from my last backup now, but so far the power button turns the screen back on without any issues.

Thanks again for your efforts on this ROM.
[Nextbit Robin] mobileman88:
Can I dirty flash from the latest 14.1 from 2 weeks ago without a wipe? Hate to setup all over again.

---------- Post added at 10:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

Awesome. By the way how do you backup? I can't create nandroid nor plug to external otg USB because this hardware don't seem to support it
[Nextbit Robin] julla0:
I used the unofficial los 15.1 and the update by ota send me a check verification error.
[Nextbit Robin] mobileman88:
The update shows "click link" and that prompts me to do a full wipe. That's why I posted above if I can do a dirty flash.
[Nextbit Robin] julla0:
Not for me because i'm already on 15.1
[Nextbit Robin] mobileman88:
Verification will fail because unofficial 15.1 has a different signature which does not match with the official.
[Nextbit Robin] julla0:
Ok so i try with the Zip version
[Nextbit Robin] mobileman88:
yes, wipe system and run the zip. it should work ok.

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ----------

where can i find or apply this? the blank screen is annoying and the phone connects fine using adb
[Nextbit Robin] julla0:
Ok, i've the new version.

How can i delette the SMS/MMS app?
[Nextbit Robin] Raiz:
You need to go I recovery mode (in TWRP).

Then go to mount and select system.

After that go back to the main menu and go to Advanced --> File Manager.

Then go to /system/priv-app and search for a folder named SMS or MMS or Messaging or something like that .

Open it and click on the little folder icon at the bottom right corner .

It will open and new page with options , select delete and swipe to delete the folder.

Then wipe the cache and the Dalvik cache and reboot .
[Nextbit Robin] julla0:
Thx U.

I found a folder messaging in system\app, this is the good one?
[Nextbit Robin] naveed.hasan:
There was a speakerphone issue (too quiet audio) on builds before 2018-01-30 and you patched something on or around January 29, 2018. Since then (in both 14.1 & 15.1 builds) the speakerphone has been stuck at absolute maximum volume. The volume setting can be raised or lowered, but to no effect - even though it shows that you are changing the volume, it is still pegged at maximum loudness even at the lowest setting. This has the side effect of making the speakerphone unusable with the microphone - there is too much of a feedback loop from the loud audio output from the speakers to the mike.

I was hoping this issue would go away with a clean wipe and 15.1 install, but it's still there. Is anyone one else unable to use the speakerphone? I have multiple devices with the problem, but they're set up in almost the same way.

Thanks for taking a look when you have time.

---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

Also, my ether GPS (Location Settings set to device only) used to work much faster at initial lock both indoors & outdoors before that round of patches for the 2018-01-30 build too... but people are reporting better performance with later builds, so I don't know what to make of that.
[Nextbit Robin] /root:
Was using Omni, wiped everything and clean flashed everything 24hours ago. So far everything seems fine had no issues at install or after install yet.

I had the problem where the phone does not wake up after it goes to sleep. Fingerprint reader seems to work and I can connect to it via ADB. Read somewhere to disable immersive mode which I have done. It seems to have done it but I have the navbar on all the time now.
[Nextbit Robin] Raiz:
Yes this is :good:
[Nextbit Robin] oshane126(jamaican):
I don't quite understand the battery charge cloud leds, it's like they come on when they feel like
[Nextbit Robin] jabashque:
The change he made back then (https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/LineageOS/android_device_nextbit_ether/+/204499/) is still present in the 15.1 device tree, so whatever issue you were having back then would still be present. Now, I definitely was able to control the speakerphone volume after that change, just that the lowest volume was still pretty loud. I do believe I was having issues with mic feedback in speakerphone mode, but I didn't use that mode enough for me to remember to actually raise that issue back when I was testing javelinanddart's Lineage 15.1 builds in the past few months.

I'll go take my ether out again and see how speakerphone is like on it sometime later this week, though I'm not sure what javelinanddart can do about that at the end.
[Nextbit Robin] julla0:
Once again thx U.

This is perfect.

Do you know the sim toolbox app?

I dont know if it's a los app or provider app.

I can't deactivate it or find folder.
[Nextbit Robin] Raiz:
The SIM toolbox app is the app that deals with your sim card and your services provider.

If you delete it , you won't be able to use your sim card and it will cause random bugs .
[Nextbit Robin] /root:
I could try that for you but I cannot find 'Immersive Mode' setting in LOS to enable it. I remember it being in Omni.

Are you able to replicate it?

Are you talking about the SIM Tool Kit app? Thats the SIM app that has the basic features/functions provided by the carrier. Something we carried on from the days we used candybar phones.
[Nextbit Robin] julla0:
In theory yes, but in reality it's an overtaxed phone number index!

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

No, the sim toolbox, boîte a outils sim in french.
[Nextbit Robin] Raiz:
Are you really sure about that ?

For me , it's more logical to store numbers in your carrier's servers or something like that.

What's sure is, even if it contains the index , this app is essential for your SIM Card and others carrier services.
[Nextbit Robin] julla0:
I'm sûre, i already called a number then i called my provider for explanations. It's only a ad taxes services.
[Nextbit Robin] Raiz:
You can try to uninstall it with the same method I gave you but make sure to do a backup before , it may break your ROM.
[Nextbit Robin] mobileman88:
It's in the Display settings at the bottom.
[Nextbit Robin] /root:
Thank you for guiding me.

Tried it.

The 'Expanded Desktop' works fine for me. No fingerprint issue or black screen or consistent navbar issue.

Just a reminder, I had you clean flashed this. Did you dirty flash over the unofficial builds?
[Nextbit Robin] naveed.hasan:
Speakerphone volume very loud

Thank you for taking a look.
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
For some reason I'm not getting very reliable or stable lte connectivity, and cellular signal sometimes is completely lost, even though I know i should be receiving signal just fine in those areas. Havoc OS and Pixel Experience don't have this issue, but OmniRom does too. Any fixes?

Error 7 during install of Lineage package

I had been using the latest nightly 14.1 but when the official 15.1 was released decided to flash it. Wiped everything, loaded the lineage zip and gapps zip via adb. Now when I try to install I get an error 7. Full text of the error is

"E3004: This package is for device: ether; this device is .

Updater process ended with ERROR 7"

Any help would be appreciated.

You need to update your TWRP. The best one is linked in the LineageOS wiki.

Battery life is great
[Nextbit Robin] brendonla:
If your Robin screen won't turn on after pressing power button/fingerprint reader....

For anyone having the issue of the screen not turning on after pressing the power button/fingerprint reader:

You must turn off "Expanded Desktop" to avoid this issue. Kind of a bummer, but not a deal-breaker for me personally.

This ROM otherwise performs very well, so sticking with it (just installed the second build and working well).

Thanks again to [MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION] for their work on this ROM for the Nextbit Robin user community.
[Nextbit Robin] arc_n_krizt:
This rom stabel and good for daily driver:confused:
[Nextbit Robin] dopaminejunky:
Great work on this ROM! I love this device; just replaced a cracked screen in less than an hour for $35 in parts.

Is there a way to make the app drawer dark themed? It doesn't seem to be an option in the settings menu reached by long pressing on the home screen, and changing the UI theme to dark also doesn't effect the app drawer.

Also: yes, I think it's ready to be a daily driver. I had some random reboots on the initial 2 builds, but as of the September 3 build things seem much more stable.
[Nextbit Robin] :
Try using another launcher like Lawnchair
[Nextbit Robin] iluvatrix:
While on subject of launcher.

Anyone knows why we can't search for the Rootless Launcher in the play store?
[Nextbit Robin] jabashque:
Probably because Google took it down due to the app offering to install Rootless Pixel Bridge to allow Google Feed integration. Source: https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/09/04/google-pulled-rootless-pixel-launcher-play-store/
[Nextbit Robin] iluvatrix:
Thanks, was thinking something wrong with my LOS installation.
[Nextbit Robin] javelinanddart:
Set a different wallpaper. The light/dark app drawer is based on the wallpaper.
[Nextbit Robin] dr_vaice:
Special thanks to javlelinanddart, this build is the one... you got it right with this ROM and I've got to give credit where it's due. I've used a whole lot of the popular ROMs- Omni, CrDroid, Havoc, DotOS, AICP and tho at first I was a little disappointed in the lack of features when compared to the others, I'm utterly wowed by the sheer stability.

This is the only ether Oreo ROM that has gotten the wake from sleep when charging scenario, others have tried and failed and it's the only one that properly recognises my fast charger. Guys keep up the good work, love it!!!
[Nextbit Robin] vandyswa:
I'm seeing init taking between 15 and 30% CPU, on an idle phone. dmesg doesn't show anything interesting. I'm not running with gapps, is there some

broken hook for a relatively unusual config? logcat shows streams of epoll_pwait paired with clock_gettime(CLOCK_BOOTTIME...) calls. Then every 5 seconds

it looks like ipacm is started, immediately exits with status 0, then init sends signal 9 to service ipacm (this is scraped out of the -b all logcat).

(Technically, the epoll/gettime is from strace, with the ipacm activity traced there lining up w. the logcat logs.)
[Nextbit Robin] iluvatrix:
So far I've been using stock launcher but feel the app icons are too small. Is there a way to increase the icon size?
[Nextbit Robin] javelinanddart:
Long press on empty space on home screen -> home settings -> grid size
[Nextbit Robin] oshane126(jamaican):
I use to get random freezes and reboots but after installing the new update a havent seen it happen not once
[Nextbit Robin] vandyswa:
Looking more at how init uses CPU, ipacm exits immediately after failing to write to /data/misc/ipa/ipacm.pid with EACCES.

The file has protections of:

Can a dev check on this file's creation? I seem to recall ipacm getting some permissions shuffled, could this

be some fallout of that?

Thanks!

[MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION]

Thank you for continuing maintenance on this device. Are you planning to drop LineageOS 16 for this device as well?
[Nextbit Robin] javelinanddart:
Probably an upgrade issue. Try manually chown'ing that node to radio radio.

The old user/group of ipacm would've created that file as net_admin, but now it's running as radio.

I wipe my /data so often that I wouldn't notice things like this :/

Depends on what you mean by 'drop'. I'm not sure what my plans are for ether at the moment.
[Nextbit Robin] vandyswa:
An idiom, he wants to know what you might have in mind for 16.

Good to hear from you. With my ipacm issue fixed, 15.1 is running very nicely indeed. Thanks!
[Nextbit Robin] adrianeaux:
Circular Pixel icons good, Pixel icon pack as default even better?

Is there a way to get the Nexus/Pixel icons for system apps in this ROM? I've replaced most with their Google equivalent but I can't do anything about the Downloads/Files app and Settings icons.
[Nextbit Robin] -R47-:
Hi. First and foremost, thank you [MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION] for supporting the Nextbit Robin! Lineage OS is running great for me on it. However, on CPU Z, I notice that CPU cores 4 and 5 (the 2 a57 cores) stay on stopped constantly, even with Geekbench running in split screen. Is this normal?

Edit: after a bit more investigation, this just seems to be thermal limits kicking after the cpu passes 50°C, in which case I like this quite a bit, the phone seems to run quite a bit cooler now.

Edit 2: Geekebench scores seem to take quite a big hit though. Multicore is down to 1835 vs nextbit avg of 2289, and single core is down to 577 vs avg of 1129. It doesn't feel significantly slower in day to day use though.
[Nextbit Robin] oshane126(jamaican):
Hi there, is there any solution to the random freezes and reboot?
[Nextbit Robin] iluvatrix:
Same here
[Nextbit Robin] hairycheez:
Been running this for a couple months, (even before official release) and have never had freezes or reboots.

Maybe it's your gapps or a magisk module?

I would try restoring stock firmware then reinstall
[Nextbit Robin] oshane126(jamaican):
I guess, which gapps do you use?

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

Send me a copy a the gapps you use
[Nextbit Robin] oshane126(jamaican):
So I decided to use mind the gapps instead of open gapps on a fresh install of lineage 15.1 and so far no freezes or reboots
[Nextbit Robin] oshane126(jamaican):
I need a custom kernel that supports this rom
[Nextbit Robin] dr_vaice:
I recently updated my device and I've got the settings on delete update

If I reset my phone then flash mindthegapps will that overwrite the previous aroma gapps installation?

Thanks
[Nextbit Robin] oshane126(jamaican):
You'll need to do a clean flash to install gapps or else you'll get crashes

When Google Voice forwards a call to my phone, I can bring up the touch tone pad, and it generates tones to the speaker, but Gvoice doesn't seem to "hear" them, so I can't enter a 1 to accept a call. Just me? Anybody else?

I'm about to inherit a Nextbit Robin. Does 15.1 have the bug where TWRP won't decrypt it unless encryption is added in 14.1 and 15.1 is dirty-flashed, or is encryption working on 15.1 after a clean install?
[Nextbit Robin] Arktronic:
The official TWRP can't decrypt at all, but the unofficial one from the installation instructions can. No need to install older versions or dirty-flash. However, I've seen errors getting automatic LOS updates installed on encrypted devices - for some reason, when booting into recovery for the upgrade, TWRP doesn't prompt for the unlock passcode and causes... issues. Manual upgrades work fine, though.
[Nextbit Robin] NewDayRising:
Manual updating isn't an issue at all. Thanks for the info. I'd have never thought to look for an unofficial version of TWRP where you linked. (I've just gone back and checked other devices I've installed LOS on to make sure the bug wasn't fixed that way with them.)
[Nextbit Robin] MP9c:
I wanted to say Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

Was on the stock nextbit rom full of app crashes on the phone and camera which was unbearable. flashed this rom with the MINDTHEGAPP pack and it is very stable with good camera response and no major issues.

Still having the issue that when a PIN lock is present that the device refuses to show the screen when trying to unlock 90% of the time. Been present ever since LineageOS. Never happened with CyanogenMod. Does not occur on OmniROM.

I sometimes have to do up to ten power button presses with a few second pauses to get the unlock screen to show.

Also how can I disable nightly updates? I have no interest in running through 500 MB updates every day. Preferably I would just like to have updates offered when security updating is involved, like the monthly Android security role out [ https://www.android.com/security-center/monthly-security-updates ] would be really great.

[Nextbit Robin] freddd1:
I addressed this issue shortly after the introduction of this system. They where to swift to close the issue as "REJECTED" and say this is simply their policy. "If you do not like it, too bad." is what I got from them in the IRC channel.

Issue: https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-2543

Very childish response from them. It seems LineageOS is a development operating system for developers. And this includes either getting daily update notifications or no notifications at all. Regular mobile device users are out of question.

I suggested to have monthly update channel which I think would work best. Preferably right after the Android monthly security updates have been integrated into LineageOS.

I got laughed at at #lineageos-dev for suggesting this (I still have the logs ...).
