"Moving" installation dates of apks

[LOS 16.0 official nightlies on hlte sm-n9005]

I'm observing this behaviour quite some time, now.

As I once had been hit by an app quitting it's service after it had been updated (complaining about non stock ROM and/or root) I started to make local copies of the actual apk packages of the to me critical apps, so that I could easily revert to the previous still working version.

I usually use MyPhoneExplorer to copy the apk files from the mobile as the installed apps are all listed by the "Installation Date" in the Files / Application section. SO it should be easy to identify any recent changes.

However - it's a quite some long time now since I noticed this behaviour - something (Magisk?) is changing some apps installation date, though that same app version hadn't been re-installed.

This doesn't happen to all installed apps, but only a few, but it can happen to any installed app as far as I can tell.

And also if I'm not mistaken if I a binary comparison of the original apk with a "changed" one, though th version is the same to changed on seems a few bytes bigger, though this doesn't affect it's functionality.

Can sb tell me the reason of these "moving" installation dates?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Eleo:
This has nothing to do with ROM or its development. My advice: use Titanium backup to backup app+data and then restore it if an update breaks it. Simple and neat.

Good luck
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] odoll:
Re: "Moving" installation dates of apks

Are you sure? If so, please provide me with your proof that no system service in LOS is changing the apps "installation" date.

I think you haven't got my point. The issue is not the method / tool to chose to make a backup, the challenge is to identify the right time, when it's needed to make a backup, when the installation date of the apps are "floating".
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Eleo:
THIS.....IS.....NOT......ONLY......THIS.....ROMS......PROBLEM.....OK?

This has NOTHING to do about LOS or ANY OTHER custom ROM!

Please post in GENERAL android forum or anywhere else but here

I have got it alright. You want to complicate your steps but as I wrote above, this discussion's place is not here.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] odoll:
Re: "Moving" installation dates of apks

Thanks Eleo, as you're confidently shouting, that the issue can't have a root which is related to that LOS version, you seem to know what's causing it. So I'd appreciate if you could tell me the solution here or you just going to enlighten me, when I'm asking that question in another thread?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Eleo:
The AUDIENCE of this thread are USERS of LOS android 9 ROM for a 2013 device. When I say you are in WRONG thread, I mean that. You will NOT get a response from such a small audience. You need to post it in GENERAL discussion as I am confident it has more to do with android basically, rather than LOS ROM or note 3 device alone. Capiche? This is irrelevant here.

Just post your findings with all relevant info in a general discussion, general questions or FAQ threads (not in all of them; but rather find a place with suitable audience). And it also doesn't mean that you will get a response. But at least it will not be flagged as unrelated
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TomPiXX:
Okay, that's strange. I've tried several things. The latest modem, boot images and some other things.

In the end i found out that it's open gapps that prevents the ROM from recognizing my SIM card!

I really don't know why and how to fix that.

I'm using open_gapps-arm-9.0-nano-20181011
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Eleo:
Clean flash without gapps. It is impossible for gapps to undetect sim card. You probably flashing modem work. Please try checking after flashing. I would like to see how you found out that gapps prevents it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TomPiXX:
That's what I've thought, too.

I've flashed the modem with Odin.

Reboot into recovery, wiped every single partition.

Flashed LineageOS without GAPPS

SIM Card worked

Back to recovery for flashing GAPPS

SIM Card doesn't work anymore.

MIDI seems not working

Hi!

You wrote "tell me" in "what's not working", so here it is:

Some musical apps like Caustic, Mobilesheets and org2020 can use an Alesis Vmini MIDI keyboard on my Samsung n9005/LineageOS16 from 23. Jan. 2020. Some others like Walk Band don`t. It seems to me that the first mentioned apps have their own inbuild MIDI drivers. Maybe Walk Band doesn't have its own driver and uses the MIDI driver from the OS.

So: 1. Am I right? 2. If yes, will MIDI be mentioned in the future?

kr,

Bernd Hollermann.

When asked about "not working", it is asked for system apps and functions that are marked as working. It is impossible to support every 3rd party app in the world. And yours is not a report. It is a statement. With no proof or logs or such. If you want to report, check XDA to see what you need to provide at the least. E.g. here:

Hi guys, sorry in advance if this question hasn't its place here.

But I'm wondering what the difference is between this unofficial version of Lineage and the newest that has recently been released officially by the LineageOS team.

So if I understand correctly, this build is developed by jprimero15, but the official one is developed by another person ? So there are two developements for almost the same thing done at the same time ?

And the question I'm probably gonna get a lot of hate for asking : which one would you recommend to install ?

Thank you in advance for your kind answers :)

Official version has less bugs, security updates and works great.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jprimero15:
Its not like that..

Official build is built with "OFFICIAL" tag , built by the Official LineageOS Maintainer for Specific device/built by LineageOS builder..

Unofficial and Official build have the same bugs etc. Coz its opensource.. both Unofficial/Official is building from the same source so that's the logic..... Unless we're talking about OEM Official ROM then its a different story..

So please get your facts right.

I'm not sure if it's just me, my hardware busy failing, or anything to do with the LinageOS, but, sometimes my Bluetooth stops working. Sometimes it recovers, but sometimes I have to restart the phone.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Raxinzane:
Well, I updated the GSM modem when I was on 14.1 the first time, and then got 16 via the updater app. Thanks, I'll look more into this.

I (hlte SM-N9005) am on N9005XXUGPQB1 Baseband and it's working usually fine. Usually, because bluetooth sometimes crashes when I pause the music playback.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Raxinzane:
I'm also on N9005XXUGPQB1. Maybe I should go back to 14.1 or even stock Lollipop to check if it might be a hardware issue.

Would be nice, yeah :D

Bluetooth issue

Hello guys,

I have a Note 3, I am using LineageOS 16.0 released on April 11th 2020, really it rocks, works pretty fast, the battery works well and I am really glad and thankful. This is the second update I install of v16.0 and the bluetooth is still getting disconnected.

It recognizes well any device around, it connects properly and play music notification ringtones etc without issues, but at some moment it gets disconnected and I have to shut the bt down and connect again, this could occur in the first 10 min of connection and sometimes maybe could be more, but it is random. Do you know how I could fix this? or if there is a workaround to apply?

Thanks for your time.

In any case, thanks for fantastic work done. Since the times of HTC HD2 I have tried many ROMs. Never seen such a stable ROM.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] gmskking:
I tried Havoc OS (version 2.9) and this seems to be working much better than Lineage. My notifications seem to be working correctly. I haven't tested Bluetooth yet, but seems good to go. Lineage 14.1 worked great but too many bugs with the 16 version.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] JJEgan:
See SEARCH THREAD your question answered .
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] MarkerB:
I think I discovered what my problem was with random reboots on all Oreo and Pie ASOP ROMs for the N900T, which includes my favorite LineageOS hltetmo. I believe the problem was the version of Magisk available at the time, or its interactions. Since I "gave up" on upgrading my daily driver to LineageOS 16.0 some months ago, I left an unrooted install of 16.0-20191103-NIGHTLY and Gapps running on an extra N900T I have. I recently noticed there had been no random reboots on that device for months. Yesterday I decided to install Magisk 20.1 (current for the 20191103-NIGHTLY), and it was immediately rebooting. So, I uninstalled Magisk 20.1 and it was good again. Then I installed the latest Magisk 20.4, and it's been good for 18 hours so far. Maybe Magisk fixed something in the last few months? Who knows. I hope to report back after few days go by.

Note that my daily driver has remained Magisk 20.1 with Lineage 14.1 for months, and it's never randomly rebooted. The problem has just been with any Pie and Oreo ASOP ROM I tried.

Thanks to anthrax68 and jerryspring for their patient help in the past.

Thank you, i tried reading from page 1 to 142 it was long but i was able to install lineageos to my note 3.

this build was signed in with public keys, i know someone mention on page 74, that it may get fixed... Should i worry if it not fixed? Like using my bank app or saving my cc number on my phone?

Thank you
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] odoll:
The official LOS (16.0) images for the Note 3 can be found here https://download.lineageos.org/hlte though the generation of new weeklies seems to be paused for some time, now. (And frankly I don't know why: technical production issue - because the ones for the klte are pending too - or it's stalled because of the preparation for the upgrade to 17.1?). But if the images with an official LOS signature will make a (big) difference to your security concerns, I doubt it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Wq789:
Thank, so are you saying that installing the official one will not make a big difference with security?

So would it be ok to use the unofficial with banks app and saving my creditcard number on the phone?

Btw i installed hltetmo

Let me quote the maintainer of this thread

If you trust this version - with up2date monthly patches - more than e.g. a several years old unpatched Stock ROM for your Note 3, or even a recent device with unpatched OS since a couple of month is your decision ...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Chinaboy5216:
What is the meaning of this reply?

The real difference is:

Official is compiled and maintained by a team member or maintainer from the group who developed the ROM in general.

Unofficial is compiled and maintained by whoever decided to build it

Hello there. I reactivated my good old n3 few days ago. Flashed lineage 16 and used it. Since 4 days I have massive problems with my battery. The drain is horrible - it looks like it can't hold its capacity. As soon as I unplug the device it drops percents during minutes. I assume this is no ROM specific problem. But I am not sure. Think it is a broken battery. Anyone else?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Raxinzane:
Is it still on the original battery? I'm on my second battery now, although I'm still using it as my daily driver.

It is.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] chooks06:
A battery that old ought to be replaced by now.

All the more if you see it bulging.

If it changes to full very quickly and shows signs of discharging erratically, it's a strong sign battery is reaching end of useful life.

I'm not sure whether you can get originals nowadays. Would probably have to rely on after market products.

I'm running on an old battery. Can still get about 2.5 hr SOT in a 16 hr period. Looking around for reliable replacement. Had 2 third party batteries that bloated up after being untouched for about a year. Should have rotated the batteries - lasts longer if kept in use.

The ROM is pretty stable as far as my experience goes.

Did you reformat? I've had to do that at times to avoid instability, after making major changes.

I've never been able to get my SM-N900T to take LOS 16.0 and Magisk. The operating system is very stable until I install Magisk, and then I get either bootloops or random reboots. I gave up and stayed with LOS 14.1, which is very stable with Magisk.

My only complaints with LOS 14.1 on the T-Mobile device are that audio glitches occasionally, and I have to disable global doze through "dumpsys deviceidle disable" to get reliable Gmail notifications. In all fairness, that doze/notification problem is common to many devices and ROMs.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] MarkerB:
It could be just the SIM card, but it also might be a perfect storm of multiple influences. I spent something like 100 hours trying to systematically (and frankly, not so systematically) find out just what was causing the problem. I'd install one thing, test for a day, then install another thing and test. A number of times I thought I'd found the culprit, but then discovered that backing up one step didn't usually make the problem go away. Very frustrating.

I found the random reboots happened whether I had a SIM card in there or not.

If you ever do another re-install, try avoid installing Magisk. It seems like you've never experimented with NOT installing that root package. I'm also convinced that the Magisk uninstaller doesn't really leave a clean slate.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cedric117:
I always do clean install.

A reformat is more than just a clean install. There were situations on this device when a changed baseband required a reformat, or there'd be all sorts of instability. For half of 2016 I was plagued with a really ratty daily driver until someone informed me about this. I was so grateful.
