It says connected to it under private dns but I still can't bypass any form of censorship, the internet works this way but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

Also doesn't work. I don't get it, is this specific to this rom or is there an issue with the way Lineage OS handles VPN networks? Because everything works fine on stock sense roms.
[One (M8) Android Development] ckpv5:
It bypass all blocked site here. No idea why not working for you.

Also tested psiphone pro vpn app, no problem working fine for me
[One (M8) Android Development] ashyx:
Touch VPN(Now called BEST VPN) on play store.

Works on all my 5 devices, Samsung running stock, Samsung running lineage, HTC stock, HTC lineage, Oreo, nougat, Marshmallow.
[One (M8) Android Development] hemingway60:
None of the options mentioned work. I don't think it's the app problem per se as much as it is the way this rom is handling it. Like I said, using the 1.1.1.1 app also results in loss of connectivity so it must be some other setting within lineage OS affecting it.
[One (M8) Android Development] Homeb:
What do you think - probably it is in the log after installing the firmware and gaps can be the cause of not working the camera? Line 264 in the log. Here is the beginning
[One (M8) Android Development] ckpv5:
It seems like only you have vpn problem.

Tested 1.1.1.1 app, no problem here.

Make sure the private dns is off when using vpn app

Replying this while connected thru 1.1.1.1 app
[One (M8) Android Development] hemingway60:
But it's definitely of no fault of mine. VPN works on stock sense but not on this ROM and neither on previous builds of it which I found strange. But if only I seem to be suffering from it, what gives? Is there a way I can post some sort of log that might clue someone? Because internet connectivity is spotless and so far I can't find any fault with this rom besides this isolated vpn nuisance.
[One (M8) Android Development] AgentK71:
i might have found a issue.

since in the M8 GPE Rom, which serves as the kernel base, could it be that it's also affected with the false Battery Percentage the GPE Rom has IF YOU didn't convert?

i have a Vodafone M8 with S-ON and Unlocked BL and i'm experiencing the sudden poweroff issue where 105+ is shown but Battery is empty

[One (M8) Android Development] OGdroidster:
Use magisk
[One (M8) Android Development] ckpv5:
You only flashed magisk zip but you don't install magisk manager apk .. this what others told you ..

Get the latest magisk manager apk and install it as you normally install an apk after/before you flash the magisk zip.

[One (M8) Android Development] hemingway60:
This is really strange. What's wrong with my device then. I've flashed the ruu and then tried everything and it was fine. Followed the exact steps to flash lineage. I used GApps micro and magisk and booted it app and set it up.

Everything worked flawlessly but the VPN programs don't work. They connect but there's no Internet connectivity at all which doesn't make any sense. Is there some setting or values in the system files that might be different in my case? I just need guidance on how to troubleshoot it please.

Usb tethering isn't working at the lastest build. Have anyone tried it?
[One (M8) Android Development] wd9895:
I noticed that some app updates don't work. Also a reboot doesn't help.

Workaround: Deinstall the app and reinstall.

My config: los 16 + nano gapps. Impacted apps: unspecific. Happend on Google app as well as on third party apps.

Can anybody fix the Los weatherprovider widget?

Overall I love this rom!
[One (M8) Android Development] James_Oakley:
Don't install supersu at all. Just magisk.

Wipe system again, install the ROM, install Google Apps, install magisk. Boot. That's it - don't touch supersu.

The zip file is installed in recovery and puts the magisk binaries on. Once booted you need to install magisk manager (which is an apk file) to get the app that manages it and gives apps root permission.

Hey [MENTION=455439]bgcngm[/MENTION] ! Is there any reason to have lineage statistics turned on since this is unofficial rom? Does it help you or other lineage developers in any way? I'd like to help by leaving it on but if it is useless then I'll just turn it off.

Awesome rom by the way.
[One (M8) Android Development] wd9895:

Nope, there's only a custom kernel for oreo devices
[One (M8) Android Development] tejado:
Does anyone know if I can use FunctionFS/ConfigFS with this kernel? I tried it by mounting it but /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget is not there, which is required to use it, afaik.

Thank you!
[One (M8) Android Development] Beet2be:
thank you!!!
[One (M8) Android Development] ashyx:
ConfigFS support has to built in to the kernel, but why?
[One (M8) Android Development] tejado:
Due to my project Authorizer. For this, I would like to integrate HID (Keyboard, CTAP + CTAP2) and CCID device support in the user space and not inside the kernel.

As I'm developing this project on a HTC m8, it would be great to have support for it. Otherwise I will look for a new phone (or try to integrate ConfigFS myself).
[One (M8) Android Development] ashyx:
You can probably enable Configfs in the Lineage kernel, but you might need to modify the init scripts in the Ramdisk also to create the mounts and enable the USB gadget for Config FS.

Just for info, it seems Samsungs recent devices are now using ConfigFS.
[One (M8) Android Development] ColdFire InOx:
Anyone else note vast losses of performance compared to LineageOS 15.1? It lags much much more to me, the new 16.0. It was as smooth as can be on 15.1, now it lags a lot.
[One (M8) Android Development] James_Oakley:
I think it's just this latest build. When I first moved over to the 16.0 version of this ROM (January this year - can't tell you the build number), what struck me was how snappy it was. So hopefully this is something that a future build will fix.

I think the issue may be to do with memory in some way. I've noticed that whenever I open pretty much any two apps, the one that was opened first was closed by the kernel when I opened the second app.
[One (M8) Android Development] ColdFire InOx:
Alright, thanks.

[MENTION=455439]bgcngm[/MENTION] Just making sure you see this as a heads-up, and thanks for all your work. :)

Great rom so far thanks a bunch I have couple of questions

1- My home. Wifi is hidden and it takes alot of time when I turn on wifi to connect sometimes it doesn't connect at all.

[One (M8) Android Development] ColdFire InOx:
Does anyone know what was broken in the November build? I'm considering switching to that one because of the performance issues on the current build. So I'd like to know if anything significant was broken in that build.
[One (M8) Android Development] macieknadolny:
Autorotation for sure.

Old security patch;P
[One (M8) Android Development] ColdFire InOx:
Well, that's a deal breaker. Going back to 15.1 until further notice...
[One (M8) Android Development] jcp2:
I use L-speed booster from the playstore and my phone is very snappy with 40+ apps on it. :)
[One (M8) Android Development] James_Oakley:
Unless you have another source that's being maintained for 15.1, that's even worse.

Look at https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77511379&postcount=3085. The 15.1 ROM for the M8 is by the same developer as this one, but they stopped working on it last September to work on this one. The download filename on the OP of that thread suggests it was actually built in July last year.

So you don't like the idea of going back to November 2018 because the security patches are outdated? Go back to 15.1, you're back to July 2018 instead.
[One (M8) Android Development] :
Long time lurker, first time poster.

First of all, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this project. Kudos for the maintainer for sticking with this device over the years.

I've got a couple of comments about frequently asked questions about this ROM/device. Just my two cents…

(1) Everyone's usage of the device varies a lot, so I find questions about battery life and SOT very short sighted, to be polite. Battery life is excellent. If you're having problems with either random shutdowns or (subjectively or objectively) bad SOT - replace the battery. I remember a guy from few pages ago that claimed the ROM was at fault because he got scammed at the shop. I've personally replaced the battery with a no name one off of eBay and it's working exactly as the original did when new. It's a pain to replace it, compared to an iPhone 6S Plus but its doable with minimal preparation and tools.

(2) Every other question is about gaining root access. *READ THE FIRST POST*! That should be the first thing you do, period. And I see a lot of fellow forum members recommending Magisk and than we have a full page of off topic troubleshooting. If someone doesn't know how to follow instructions (in the first post), doesn't know how to gain root access, maybe it's better not to root for your security and privacy as well as others communicating with you. There's also potential hardware damage. Long story short: read the first post, the maintainer recommends the official SU add-on. I've tried it and it works fine. For me personally, everything else is off topic.

(3) Constant complaining about "bad performance" is unnerving. It's got nothing to do with the ROM. The ROM is working great. Excellent performance considering this is an abandoned 5 year old device. And that's the point - this is a 5 year old device. It's got little RAM to spare after the system boots up (w/ Gapps). There's a low RAM property patch for Android. It's even on XDA, go figure. The ROM is working as intended. The device is working as intended. If you're having "performance issues" install the low RAM property patch.

Everyone, have a great weekend!
[One (M8) Android Development] James_Oakley:
Welcome to the world of posting, and all fair points.

The current build appears to have made the device considerably laggy compared to earlier builds of this same 16.0 ROM. So, yes, you're right: a device with these specs is going to struggle, and we mustn't expect a new ROM to bring it up to the snappiness that new hardware would give. At the same time, those complaining about performance aren't complaining about nothing, because it is slower compared to the same device and previous versions of the same ROM.
[One (M8) Android Development] ashyx:
Regarding specs and hardware. This was a flagship device and still holds its own even now. Maybe not against recent flagship devices but against budget and Middle of the road devices all of which are capable of running Oreo and pie without issues.

This is still a meaty enough device to run Oreo and pie without issues.

I have tested against some of my other devices with more recent specs and it faired very well and was markedly quicker than some of them.
[One (M8) Android Development] artolo:
Ran Nougat for 2 years as dd. Now after 2 week of trying Pie(201900305, rooted, fast and snappy), I had the performance bug after unplugging from the charger. Switching between the home and recent button would make it hang for 1.5 sec. About the same amount added for opening any app. In-app performance seemed ok with some hitching. I forced closed some apps but the "lag" remained. Had medium background activity 20%: Not as idle as I would like but nothing weird. So I just restarted the device and the bug did not reappear in 3 days. Will check memory level next time it happens. Usually stands at 50% ram usage.

What would be the ideal process monitoring app to troubleshoot this ? (CPU/GPU/kernel and app usage/IO delay). The ROM or one of my apps... it could be either way.

List of my apps:

Kernel Adiutor (ROOT) - CPU settings seemed fine during the low performance event, changing the governor did not help, Kernel Adiutor Donate

Noozxoide EIZO-rewire PRO (it works ! but its old, could be a problem? like incompatibility with default EQ AudioFX)

Repeat alarm (GREAT APP! does what it says.), Speedtest Ookla, Spotify, Firefox, Sounds, Google text-to-speech, Libre office viewer, Bluetooth Rssi Analyser, , Fake GPS location, Zoiper VOIP, Wifi Analyser. Opengapps-Pico.
[One (M8) Android Development] ColdFire InOx:
The ROM is not working as intended as of the latest build. It's easy to prove - just flash the previous one and compare it to this one. The difference in performance is abyssal.

But thank you for your almighty knowledge. It helped about zero.

[MENTION=9842750]artolo[/MENTION] I was also onto something like you. When plugged in, it works very well. It's when you unplug it that the issues arise.

[MENTION=9534965]James_Oakley[/MENTION] I do not like going back to the November version because of the autorotation issue... And frankly, Android P kind of disappointed in some aspects. I'm happy with Android O, even if that means that my security isn't the best. :)
[One (M8) Android Development] artolo:
And what does a reboot do for you ? For me it hasn't reoccured yet.
[One (M8) Android Development] ColdFire InOx:
Not much, really. Once it's unplugged I can't really make it go back to normal... I'll patiently wait for the next build and try then. Thanks for your input, might help the developer. :)

[One (M8) Android Development] md303:
Ditto, major performance issues. Device runs hot. Sometimes the device performs well, but all of a sudden I'll tap the screen and nothing happens for a long time, 10, 20, 40 seconds or more.... then it gets snappy again, then gets super slow for no reason. Back to LOS14 and everything is fine again.

What can I optimize ?
[One (M8) Android Development] bgcngm:
I guess you're being too exigent considering it's a 5 years old device, so maybe it' time to buy a new one?
[One (M8) Android Development] nimik:
With the latest build, the device is incredibly snappy. At least compared to the previous build.
[One (M8) Android Development] gvsb:
great news then! Did you do the dirty flash over the previous one or wiped the system before installing the update?

Btw, huge thanks to bgcngm for keeping the device alive!
[One (M8) Android Development] bgcngm:
Thanks for the feedback. ;)

You can simply dirty flash over the previous build.
[One (M8) Android Development] nimik:
I wiped it by mistake (it was late and I was tired) but for sure you can flash it over.
[One (M8) Android Development] jcp2:

[One (M8) Android Development] ColdFire InOx:
In terms of performance, how does this ROM compare to the Lineage 15.1? Does the phone lag more?
[One (M8) Android Development] Hipersferus:
I've tested the following roms on my M8_ul hk version, s-on, single sim (new good battery):

- clean install unofficial 15.1 + nano gaps - some small lags, most of them on phone wakeup, in general experience was ok. NFC does not work at all for P544 nfc chip, nfc enable fails at driver level, the option is locked ON state and grayed out until device restart. I've disabled the failed driver via adb root (more like renaming it to .old in all paths) so that the fail won't lock the option to ON position, but revert to OFF. Battery was quite good. Also htc camera + gallery worked

- clean install official 14.1 + nano gaps - works ok, no lags, but I dont like the old interface, I've only tried it just to see if NFC works at all with it, no luck, same fail as with 15.1.

- clean install 16.0 0305 + nano gaps - feels better overall than 15.1, some performance issues with this release 0305, especially on device wakeup. Battery seems better than 15.1. Same issue NFC enable fails. Everything else just works smooth.

- dirty flash 16.0 0414 + latest nano gaps - performance issues almost gone, still has some hickups on wakeup, not sure if this is just because old hardware or is something in the rom or apps, (even through I keep no apps in history, only app services maybe). This wakeup lag issue seems to pe persistent over 15.1 and 16.0, hope is just a rom optimization thing, like proper doze mode handling, else if its hardware - we live with it...

Overall all versions worked ok, with the exception of NFC, that does not work at all for my P544 chip, it could work if you have a higher revision of same chip or different chip, seems that some of you have, including [MENTION=455439]bgcngm[/MENTION], since the roms doc indicates nfc support.

A big thanks [MENTION=455439]bgcngm[/MENTION] for all these good roms, 5 years old htc feels better than new.
[One (M8) Android Development] multiwirth:
The performance is almost the same, only RAM managment is weird.

It closes my music player in backround while playing a lightweight game maybe because zRAM isn´t enabled by default and won´t even turn on (Ex Kernel Manager).

If you don´t do much at the same time, you won´t notice any difference.
[One (M8) Android Development] ColdFire InOx:
That happens to me on 15.1 also actually. Is there a way around this issue?
