I realy want to let all the devs having work on this ROM, that this is by far the best custom rom for shamu. I've tested them all, and this one is just amazing (I am now on the latest unofficial from the last post from dwardo). Every single thing works. And the top of all is the battery life is +30% compaired to any other ROM. So, an enormous thank you to all of you, having contributed. It is, an probably will remain, my daily driver on my Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ze7zez:
In this situation, you have no choice but to click "Love" under dwarto's post. He will not be offended.

p.s.

What about the >camera<?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bobdrop:
You too right, thank you for remainding me. Dwardo deserves it for keeping this exceptional rom alive. Huge thanks to him for that. About the camera, I suppose it is for the build in app that comes with the rom. If it is the case, it works fine, dosn't disappear like on other roms. I personally use open camera. Don't use gapps or similar. The rom is just outstanding :-)

Here is the lastest UNOFFICIAL build (from today) with September 2022 security bulletins included : lineage-16.0-20220917-UNOFFICIAL-shamu.zip

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dwardo:
You're welcome. I just build... no development !
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bobdrop:
Thanks again for keeping this rom updated. I am with it for now few days and I am still impressed by the battery life I have with it. I also want to ask if I need to flash magisk for the root, or the addon in the description ? I saw in early replays people are flashing magisk. And in the developper mode menu there is an option to root or something. I will be new to the rooting, so if someone give some info on how to do it properly with this rom, it will be much appreciated :-) Cheers
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dwardo:
I use magisk (older variant as newer is only arm64...)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jackho2020:
Thank you for maintaining old LOS for Shamu!

I flashed this build and it losts 15% battery overnight even I switch it off. This didn't happen when I was using LOS 15.1.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] glockman4519:
Ok. So it's not just me. Freaking Verizon anyways. I'm just going to do this review the way it is. It sucks though because compared to stock Pie, this rom is Superior to stock. It would be nice to actually run it for a DD on my 6. I'll check back after a few updates to see if there data connection with Verizon gets any better.

Thank you for your help.

is there an addon su for 16.0? i just tried to backup my text messages, and it said i don't have su. i installed the 15.1 addon su, in the hopes that'd work, but no dice. i seem to recall seeing something about this in the old 15.1 thread ...

not able to install

I am unable to install it. I followed everything but after reinstalling it is asking for my password (where I enter anything it accepts) and saying decryption unsuccessful and telling me to reset phone. it takes to recovery where it is running a script and looping thereafter. was running lineage 15.1. tried installing lineage 15.1 again and it does get installed. not able to understand where im going wrong. please help
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dwardo:
I've been reading to figure out the encrypted issues to upgrading to 16.0 (l'm FDE encrypted)

Here is what I understand... Don't hesitate to correct me if I'm wrong

TWRP for shamu only supports FDE (Full Disk Encryption - based on block by block encryption of disk)

shamu came out with forced FDE encryption

Later on Google introduced FBE (File Based encryption) which is faster and allows direct boot.

Lineage 16.0 only supports FBE ? (This is a guess as I can't find info that pie only supports FBE...)

3 options available, only the middle one works fully but with a caveat:

1) Update from FDE encrypted previous lineage version

--> twrp still decrypts but lineage 16.0 can't and says data is corrupt

2) Format data to unencrypt and never re-encrypt

--> No encryption (i.e. insecure) but twrp and lineage access all data

3) Format data to unencrypt and then reencrypt (FBE) from within lineage 16.0

--> FDE encryption, lineage 16.0 works fine but twrp can't decrypt (flashing can only be done through sideloading)

If I got stuff wrong please correct as I'm sensing l'll not be the only one interested in clarifying everything.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] tong6998:
Well, unfortunately I almost missed work cause this rebooted into TWRP while I was sleeping. It is sweet and smooth though, and I just finished setting it all up, but I'm going have to go back... Can't miss work... Regretably.... Will skip this for a while.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] TAGTRAUM:
Absolutely bulletproof ROM in my usage scenario (not Fi user). Step on LOS from another Pie ROM, was already decrypted years ago xD. Successfully installed 20190301 build without any glitch, no FC's anywhere (used OpenGapps pico) Magisk installed from Magisk Manager, no problems at all (if you installing Magisk zip from recovery before first boot it detecting no root)

Then I'm updated to 20190302 build with built-in LOS updater, flashed and all OK too, no FC no app crashes etc.

For now investigating SOT and battery time on stock kernel and settings, will report later. One little wish for future builds - please reduce long press time for navbar buttons (i.e waiting 1 second for force close app by long pressing back button a little bit overkill IMO)

Upgrading from 15.1 full encrypted to 16.0

Sorry for the mistake .... Wrong location
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Did you remove the SIM card and see if it would boot normally instead of rebooting into TWRP? Which addon packages did you install?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] tong6998:
Formated Data to nightly 3-2 image and opengapps stock. NO other addons, not even adblock file yet.

Unfortunately no I did not remove the SIM and see if it booted normally (didn't know to test that). When I dirty flashed it early yesterday, it bootlooped a lot into TWRP (making me think bad battery and people suggesting that). Once I clean flashed it from virgin (complete data format of everything), it never did so I didn't hunt that problem back down. I did have an issue of "not having a sim" toward the end of the evening, but me rebooting it brought it right back and seemed stable, quick, smooooooth so damn smooth its irritating, no issues... but, like I said, overnight it rebooted into TWRP and if it wasn't for my 2 cats fighting this morning, I would of slept right through when I had to be at work.

Just restored my backup from TWRP to yesterday, will be on 15.1 at least till next weekend then will try again. This is my Daily driver unfortunately and I can't have it tooo unreliable... if that makes sense, a FC here and there is fine, but my alarms is wayyyy to important, phone calls/texts mehhhh not big deal.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Was asking about booting without the sim because maybe it could be related to IMS or lack of it. Maybe could've pulled some logs. Unfortunately I cant test this because on Google Fi with no physical sim to swap into the N6.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dvdram:
Ok, I managed to bypass the password error. It took me half Sunday morning, but now LOS 16 is running. What I did: I made a full backup in TWRP, then I wiped data and system and internal storage and repaired the filesystems. (Not sure if the latter one was necessary.) Then I rebooted into recovery again and restored the system from the backup. After rebooting LOS 15.1 again, none of the former encryption options (settings -> security) was marked any more. After that, the installation worked and after the first boot into LOS 16 all my apps and data was still present. Hurrah! :)

The only thing that still bothers me is the fact that I never chose to encrypt the phone when I installed LOS for the first time, but some how LOS decided to do it any way. That's something I can neither understand nor accept.

I have not found anything that does not work so far, except for one small thing: where can I select the sound that is to be played for incoming sms?

And one more thing: we definitely need a one-hand-mode on the Nexus! ;)

Upgrading from 15.1 full encrypted to 16.0

Hi,

I am running Lineageos 15.1 with full-encryption. I tried to upgrade with following methods :

1. From within recovery

Rebooted the phone into TWRP

Selected: Wipe

Selected Advanced Wipe

Checked the boxes for: Dalvik, System, Cache

Swiped to Wipe

Pressed Home button

Selected: Reboot

Selected: Recovery

Selected: Install

Selected: Lineage 16.0.zip

Selected: Add more Zips > OpenGapps 9.0.zip

Swiped to Flash

After install finishes, Reboot into System

but I am stuck at already mentioned error : password is correct but data is corrupted ......

seems to be normal after all what I read.

2. Then I tried the method with adb sideload for the installation part but I am getting the same error as mentioned above.

/data was encrypted with lineageos 14.1 or 15.1 , I don't exactly remember

What did I make wrong ?

Regards
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] tong6998:
Just in case I decide to poke at this again today: How do I pull logs? Was thinking that this morning I should of done that but didn't know how so I just went ahead and restored back to my old one.

Yup "dirty flash" kept everything: get ready for random reboots into TWRP... with increasing frequency as they go too. If it doesn't, let us know, would be nice to be able to dirty flash this thing and keep all current apps and settings....

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] grdnwsl:
Can confirm this. I'm using the same solution currently to get Pixel Launcher working correctly on LOS 16. One thing to note about this "solution" is that the Pixel Launcher zip must be re-flashed every time you update LOS, otherwise Pixel Launcher crash-loops again on next boot. Not sure why flashing this also causes Trebuchet to crash loop after installing the launcher zip. But it seems as if you can currently only use one or the other.

[EDIT 2019-03-03]:

Just for further clarity, I'm running the latest 2019-03-03 release of LOS 16, and the 2019-03-02 release of OpenGAPPS. I also tried flashing the GAPPS linked in the OP, but had the same issue, so it appears that it might be an LOS issue, versus a GAPPS issue. I did see in the logs that it would crash with a missing perm, but I don't remember offhand what perm it was wanting and I don't have access to ADB right at the moment.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:

I suppose you have noticed that on shamu with LOS 16.0 installed, the updater will show also 15.1 updates?

Probably nobody wants to see those "updates" on 16.0.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] glockman4519:
I pulled the sim out of my device and it never re- booted into TWRP after that. I'm having the same issues. I'm on Verizon. I have the rom installed and running great right now but only on Wi-Fi.

The booting into TWRP slowed down a lot but I had no data connection (was not connected to my carrier even though it said in settings "connected to Verizon") so I pulled the sim. But after installing the rom and booting for the first time it would randomly not into TWRP.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] pr0ndigy:
So it's safe to say, that if you have Verizon, then you will experience random reboots back into TWRP if you install LineageOS 16.0 + Gapps
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Actually it can't be related to IMS. Because no other 9.0 roms have IMS enabled and they aren't rebooting.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
Pixel launcher is working but lags like hell. Especially when swiping for Google feed on left . Also lags when swiping right. Any idea why ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
that's not correct, reboots have been a widely spread issue just do a search in pie rom threads and you'll see while it's not general, the closer to stock rom the less reboots but that's not an excuse since if one has to stay close to stock rom many would prefer to get what the need in different ways than updating to pie.

FYI i tried all available PIE roms and most OREO Roms

generally speaking no rom that is not based on lates factory image had one or another kind of issues with radios etc., later mixing with aging battery issues that made it more difficult to point at a culprit.

i reverted back in time and have zero issues of any kind ever since, this in case someone relias on stability more than "newest". most

features can be had either way or even better with earlier API versions and speed and stability, except boot time, are better as well.

since it's a bit OT i won't further discuss this here, just sharing my first hand experience and what my shamu friends for years tell me.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
But going back to old versions means opening your phone to security issues. Might as well get another phone at that point, no?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] glockman4519:
Agreed.. I have determined that the reboots were related to Magisk (mostly). But I will say this, I've been monitoring my device now, for reboots, with it in my pocket or my hand for almost 16 hours now and have had no reboots since I pulled my sim.

I am not a developer so I can't say for sure what and why. I've looked at the logs and there is nothing there (that would help). I had log settings on mainly kernel.

Not going to continue to bog the thread with this. I'll keep watching the posts and updating my device with the new builds.. ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
Not sure exactly what magnamentis meant by reverting back in time, but I assume she meant going back to lnos 15.1. I'm on today's lnos 15.1 build, and that has all the latest security updates. And I've had zero reboots. It seems like there's some strange problem with 16.0 and other Pie roms, which may or may not be related to Verizon

After wiping Dalvik, System, Cache you need to format data. You will lose all info on the phone so have backups.

From the home screen, choose wipe, then format data.

Hey folks, for those of you still having the decryption errors even on a freshly wiped install I was finally able to find a fix!

Try formatting data

AFTER

flashing the ROM and Gapps and all that. I know it doesn't make sense but it seems like there is some bad data in the ROM causing that decryption error and formatting data after flashing was the only way I got it to boot. Hope this helps.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nilesh0205:
So I can just wipe system, dalvik cache, and data and install lineage 16 and not format internal storage if I have not encrypted my phone? Or I can just wipe dalvik cache and system too?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] timawesomeness:
Pie itself supports FDE just fine, so there's no reason LineageOS 16.0 shouldn't support FDE as well, and no reason it should require a wipe. FDE support isn't planned to be dropped by AOSP until a later release (in Q at the earliest, but my guess is later than that). Fixing this should be made a priority.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] glockman4519:
I've done that in other pie roms and it worked great. Not sure if it's a Pie thing but formatting data may be a necessary evil....lol

To those who follow me, I am exporting my edited video now and as soon as it's done, I'll upload it to YouTube. Should be some time tonight. This video will focus on the install only.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SteveYoungs:
Google Pay is not working for me.

I had to format data (thus unencrypting) to get LOS 16 installed and booted. I'm wondering if that is why Google Pay won't work, because I'm not encrypted. Does anyone know?

The problem I'm having with GP is that when I go to set up a bank account it displays a message stating I have a rooted phone or modified rom. Initially I had Magisk 18.1 installed but I removed that and still get the same error from GP.

If it is the encryption that is the culprit is there anything that I need to keep in mind with encrypting with LOS 16?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dhalsim43:
With LOS 15.1, Safetynet status was OK but with LOS 16, it's KO. In my opinion, that's why Google Pay don't work anymore
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] duhec:
Tried the ROM and it's awesome. It was worth the wait.

The only "bug" found so far is when I long press on the home screen and tap Wallpapers, it says "App isn't installed".

Is it because I removed some things I shouldn't with the .gapps-config file listed below? :confused:

(there were other things I just left the one's might be the culprit)

CMWallpapers # Remove CM Wallpapers
BasicDreams # Remove Basic Dreams Wallpaper
Galaxy # Remove Galaxy (also known as BlackHole) Wallpaper
HoloSpiral # Remove Holo Spiral Wallpaper
NoiseField # Remove Noise Field Wallpaper
Phasebeam # Remove Phasebeam Wallpaper
PhotoPhase # Remove Photo Phase Wallpaper

edit: I might be silly asking that kind of questions but it wasn't a problem on LOS Nougat.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] everdium:
My phone was encrypted by stock and then upgraded to LOS 14>15>16.

1. After the LOS 16 update, LOS said that data was corrupted and a factory reset should be done. Factory reset did not help (same message). TWRP was NOT able to decrypt.

2. After format of data, LOS 16 works fine (unencrypted).

3. I haven't tried what happens when you reencrypt with LOS 16 but I suspect that TWRP is not able to decrypt after that. Has anyone tried this yet ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dhalsim43:
Yes, after reencrypting, twrp can't read data partition so you have to use usb-otg to update the rom

Magisk has the option to "hide root" from specific apps. That's how I get Google Pay (and my bank app) to work with root.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] everdium:
I guess we are waiting for a newer version of TWRP then, that can decrypt data that was encrypted by LOS 16. Or is the problem in LOS and not in TWRP.

Anyhow, sideloading or using USB OTG is both acceptable to me.

I must say that the unencrypted phone is much faster indeed, but I still prefer encryption. Even though I have all my data in the cloud, I think that there are local copies of e-mail, contacts, etc. on the data partition and if the phone were lost, it would be very easy to access them and that is not a good idea.
