gapps installed successfully but not showing up on launcher...

Fixed.

---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

There is a little issue with gapps installation probably... even after updating twrp...

You'll be probably asked to install the arm version of gapps, don't do it.

What you have to do is uncompress gapps arm64 9.0 zip and open installer.sh.

Remove the following lines from the file.

Save and replace the file in zip with the edited one.

Flash now in TWRP with LOS. Should work for the time being.

It returns to TWRP while opennig

Hi, my device is K6 Note. I clearly flashed karatep rom and flame gapps as you indicated. There was no problem while setup. After I reboot, after a long time, TWRP was opened again. Then I rebooted again but TWRP opened again. :( System is not openning.

Could you help me? Where I did wrong? :confused: I was using LineageOS 15.1 before flashing. I used latest TWRP (3.3.1.1)

Did you wipe data, cache partition?

Did you wipe any other partition??

Try wiping the system partition and flash los16 again.

You mean the zip files in SD card for flashing?

If that's your question, then yes, you can use your SD card in TWRP.

OTG works too.
[Lenovo K6 / K6 Power / K6 Note ROMs, Kernels, Reco] sekretov:
Hi everybody!

I want to tell everyone that you can not wipe data.

I tried to flash my phone without wiping. And it work fine!

The system determined that it was a system update and it said it in notifications.

Bug report for Lenovo K6 note (karatep)

Wi-Fi would randomly drop even in a very close distance to the gateway problem occurs since lineage os 15.1 but it was way more aggressive to the point that it was unusable.

Log file included.

I am using magisk however; even without magisk the problem still occurs

Other than the Wi-Fi bug,

When you are playing any sound and you press stop it takes a longer time than it takes, other than those two bugs the system is pretty much very stable even for daily use.

side note: the log file included me trying to capture it a day earlier but it not happening again then at the end it has me finally capturing before and after it.

Hi.

I have a problem, I get error # 7 during installation. "Firmware is incompatible with ROM...". Can the latest firmware be downloaded separately somewhere? Same situation with ROM v15.1

using twrp 3.3.1.1 + [ROM] LENOVO [K6 NOTE][K53a48] STOCK S228-TWRP FLASHABLE ZIP
[Lenovo K6 / K6 Power / K6 Note ROMs, Kernels, Reco] sekretov:
Hi.

Do these actions:

Copy the zip ROM file to your PC and unzip it using your favorite archiver (for example, 7-zip);

After unpacking find META-INF folder and go the META-INF/com/google/android line. In the last directory you will find two files called "update-binary" and "updater-script". We are interested in the latter one;

Rename "updater-script" to "updater-script.txt" and open it in any text editor (for instance, Notepad++);

Now remove the line starting with "assert" to the next semi-colon. Usually it is the first or a few first lines in the beginning of the text file;

Save the modified file;

Rename "updater-script.txt" back to "updater-script";

Update all files you have unpacked;

Copy the modified zip-file on your phone;

Reboot your Android device to recovery mode and try to update it again. Status Error 7 should be gone.
[Lenovo K6 / K6 Power / K6 Note ROMs, Kernels, Reco] piehot:
Thanks friend :svetius::svetius::svetius:. I deleted all these lines with potential errors from file. The installation was without problems. Everything work perfectly.

One more question:

What do you prefer?

Flame Gapps or Open Gapps ?

Hi everyone,

Thanks for this great ROM.

I used it and its worked very well. but since 3 days I am having issue with it.

Here what happened to me..

> I had to sell my phone so I use 'Erase Everything' from setting. (:crying:)

> When I restarted phone... It was in TWRP. tried so many times but no luck.

> Finally I wiped Data, Delvik, Cache and Flash LOS 16 again (getting no errors. script executes successfully). but When it restarts, its coming back to TWRP after LOS animation.

> I did re-flash 15.1 again worked fine.

> Again I tried for 16.0 but same issue.

Now I have taste of 16.0 I dont want to go back on 15.1 until its do or die. Please help.

thank you for fixing the WiFi issue, it was very frustrating on previous lineage 16 build(karatep)

---------- Post added at 01:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 AM ----------

~there is a procedure you need to adhere to inorder to avoid issues.

~hoping that by karatep you mean your device is Lenovo K6 note.

-copy LOS+GAPPs+magisk zip to the root of your SD then boot to TWRP(3.3.1.1)

-format data partition....then this is very important>>>>press home on TWRP, go back to wipe menu>>advance wipe

wipe delvic,system,cache and data partition.

-press home select install, choose your LOS(do not flash yet)

select add more zip(GAPPs)

select add more zip(magisk)

-then flash

wipe delvic and cache then boot to system.

it takes some time so please be patient

THIS IS WHAT I DO AND WORKS PERFECT!!

Maybe you should state your level of support right on the first page of the thread, so that people know where they stand with Lineage OS on the K6.

I am fine with your decision. I guess a lot of people underestimate the amount of time and effort that needs to be put into a 'simple' port.

It would be very nice of you, if you now and than bump the security level, to keep users out of harms way. It really is a shame, that Lenovo stopped supporting the K6 almost right away.

Things you should fix

I liked this version, but unfortunately it is only good for a standard user, which is not my case.

Problems I had:

- did not install magisk (I tried every possible way, seriously ...)

- voice distortion when recording audios and videos

apart from what I mentioned, the rom is good!
[Lenovo K6 / K6 Power / K6 Note ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Karthick Chandran:
Things you should know:

1. This isn't my primary device anymore, so there won't be much "fixes" unless its from community

2. Magisk has nothing to do in this thread or ROM, use the superuser addons from lineage website instead

3. Voice distortion (mostly it could be hardware issue as other people didn't report about it) & as i said.. I don't use this device anymore I can't fix issues like this, if you guys manages to fix it.. I'll be happy to implement the fixes
[Lenovo K6 / K6 Power / K6 Note ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Karthick Chandran:
