[MENTION=616841]berom[/MENTION] was so kind enough to share his build with me

I installed it yesterday evening and used my Nexus 5x the whole day. (It's now my daily driver).

A tiny review after one day of use.

I'm running [MENTION=616841]berom[/MENTION] his build with [MENTION=3060816]Punkiderma[/MENTION] his kernel and tweaks. Combined with [MENTION=5536696]linckandrea[/MENTION] edits.

I'm running Minimal Gapps but replaced all stock apps with their google counterparts using the Aroma installer.

Finally I'm using the Samsung Galaxy Watch and Samsung Health.

Speed

As for speed it feel smooth and quite fast. Didn't freeze up on me and everything seems to pop in to place rather nice.

Battery

This one is also quite decent. I did spend 2h in the car with the phone in the charger but I think I should be able to get home with atleast 20% battery.

It won't last me the day with my normal way of using it, but for me its good enough.

Camera

This one I broke .. Replaced the AOSP one with the Google one and that one just freezes the whole phone.

But that's on me. I'm going to try to fix it and report back.

Banking apps

These don't seem to work anymore. I have the same issue with the PixelExperience Rom but not with the optimized build by [MENTION=5536696]linckandrea[/MENTION]

And finaly as a side note

You need to copy and paste the build.prop edits into the file or else the phone wont boot.

I moved the file to my pc and added the lines so I could just move over the entire file. But that didn't work.

I will upload the file tomorrow including an update on the second day.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] berom:
You are welcome [MENTION=735399]Balthazard[/MENTION].

I would be interested into the procedure to install and tweak.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Balthazard:
A little update including the Rom and Tweaks. All credits are for [MENTION=616841]berom[/MENTION], [MENTION=3060816]Punkiderma[/MENTION], and [MENTION=5536696]linckandrea[/MENTION]

I just compiled everything into this post and ran it for a couple of days.

Let me start with an update.

After the second day, the rom started to slow down quite a bit. It's the same that I have had with the Pixel Experience rom.

Everything except for banking is still working perfectly. GPS is also working quite nicely.

As for the camera. I haven't had the time to reflash GAPPs, but I do use MyFitnessPall daily and it has a build-in camera to scan the barcodes.

This has worked perfectly with just a little delay in starting (but that has to do with the global slowing down I guess).

I've just flashed the new kernel by [MENTION=5536696]linckandrea[/MENTION] to see if that helps a bit.

As for my installation procedure

0. Backup everything you have

1. Format/Wipe everything except for internal storage

2. Flash build by [MENTION=616841]berom[/MENTION]'

3. Flash Gapps (I Used the Aroma one and replaced my camera.. This broke my camera so don't do that.)

4. Flash Kernel by [MENTION=3060816]Punkiderma[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5536696]linckandrea[/MENTION]

5. Flash Magisk

Reboot and install a root explorer

6. Copy attached files to your internal storage

7. Copy the TEXT not the file to the relevant file.

If you don't the phone won't boot.

Buildprop.txt to build.prop

fstabbullhead.txt to fstab.bullhead

Reboot and enjoy the smoothness and working GPS.

LineAgeOS 17.1 By [MENTION=616841]berom[/MENTION]

https://authentyck.com/lineage-17.1-20201018-BeromBuild-bullhead.zip
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Punkiderma:
Thank you for the feedback and the synthesis!

For the camera, you can try this

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1447/

Is a port of Camera GO,very smooth but lacks panorama mode which you can achieve using camera NX 5.4 (not the latest one, illness search the correct version). To eliminate shutter sound on camera go, lower you volume or install a dedicated module that you can find on magisk repo.

If I ever will be able to create a VM on google cloud or similar I'll try to build the ROM again; building on my laptop is too time consuming.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] berom:
I also use this Camera Go version. And it works well with PE10.

Camera NX can be found here: https://chromloop.com/category/android-download/

Which version are you using?

I just build a new version of Lineage, I can share if you are interested.

I'm currently using PE10. Is there Night Light, Dark Theme, Do not disturb and bedtime mode in Lineage OS 17.1?

How did you enabled livedisplay?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Punkiderma:
Thanks!

All of them are present except for bedtime mode which I don't know what is.

Livedisplay works with stock kernel or my modified version of linckandrea's POP kernel. My build of pop kernel however is now outdated, but it works well anyway.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Balthazard:
I've changed and updated some stuff so here's the breakdown.

Updated LineAgeOS to version 14112020 by [MENTION=616841]berom[/MENTION] (thank you!)

Updated Pop Kernel to v7 by [MENTION=5536696]linckandrea[/MENTION]

Went back to OpenGapps Pico Package

Have the Latest magisk installed

Still running the same tweaks provided by [MENTION=3060816]Punkiderma[/MENTION]

As for the camera, I'm running GCam Go as linked by [MENTION=3060816]Punkiderma[/MENTION]

I have a Samsung Watch

I run Brave Browser instead of Chrome

I've been running this build for the past two days and I can say that I'm genuinely surprised.

Overall smoothness and speed is way better and I haven't had any slowdowns as with the last setup.

I use Brave browser and GCam Go because they run way smoother than Chrome/AOSPCam.

GPS is still working nicely and despite my watch, battery life is also quite good! I shall go more in-depth on the battery life when I decide to stay with the build as a daily driver.

**Update**

I also found out why my Banking Apps won't log in. This rom fails ctsProfile. I fixed it with a Magisk Module called MagiskHide Props Config by [MENTION=4667597]Didgeridoohan[/MENTION]

As for the questions by [MENTION=616841]berom[/MENTION]

Night Light, Dark Theme, and DND are present.

As for Dark Theme, this one has an extra option to go Pure Black instead of the 'Dark' color.

As for BedTime Mode. This is a function by google. You can use it by installing Google Clock.

I still need the time to find out how I can replace the phone, messenger, clock, calculator, camera with their google counterparts with a zip file and remove some stuff I never use and update the BuildProp and Fstab

If there are any questions/requests let me know!

Link to [MENTION=616841]berom[/MENTION] his latest build

authentyck.com/lineage-17.1-20201114-BeromBuild-bullhead.zip
[Nexus 5X Android Development] berom:
Thanks for this detailed information. I would be interested to get confirmation that the buildProp and fstab changes work correctly with the ROM.

For the camera, I'm suggesting Camera NX: https://chromloop.com/2018/03/apk-c...camera-5-2-features-bring-back-hdr-nexus2015/

This page is detailing the comparison between the different packages of OpenGapps: https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Package-Comparison

The O in the table means the google package will replace the lineageos package.

I'm guessing that if you install the from google play, I will have the same effect.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Balthazard:
I will do some testing this weekend to measure the difference the tweaks make.

What I can tell you know after using the this setup for 4 days is that it's amazingly smooth.

Everyhing is working perfectly. Camera, GPS, battery, smoothness, browsing. I have no problems at all. Even banking is working since I fixed the ctsFalse problem.

The only thing I can think of that is 'negative' is that Google maps takes approximately 5 to 10 seconds to start navigation. But after it starts it's all back to being smooth.

As for GCam NX. I will try it out. Don't really use my camera that much and the Go version was already perfect for me.

Finally, what I meant with the gapps is that when I install the package it automatically replaces the stock one. But I don't want the rest of the apps installed. I want the Pico with just some apps replaced.

And yes. If you install it through Google Play you can use it. That's what I did. Disabled the stock clock app and installed the Play version.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Balthazard:
Let me give a quick update.

I've for the last three days I've been experiencing some mayor slowdowns. Like the one I'm used to with PE.

I hadn't changed anything nor installed any new apps. So I tryed cleaning the cache and art/dalvik cache and that didn't do much.

So I edited the fstab file and added 100M to the zram. This fixed the problem for the rest of the day but after that it slowed down again.

Did this twice, but that trick ain't working no more.

I'm going to try [MENTION=5536696]linckandrea[/MENTION] build and see how long that one holds out.

I'll be reporting again in a couple of days if there is an interest for it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] RoyalPanda:
Hi,

I'm using auto-build from stock [MENTION=6765239]theandroid02[/MENTION] (@Toomoch on Github) and I've no problem so far. No freeze, no dysfunction.

I tried using just some tweaks like ZRAM and lazytime but frankly, I couldn't notice better or worst timing. I rolled back.

I'm not using any googleapps though, I can't assure that everything work when they are installed.

I tried to compile the shadow Kernel in lineageOS build but took bootloop. I can't figure why but I'm not sure I'll investigate further.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] berom:
Thanks [MENTION=735399]Balthazard[/MENTION]. Looks like linkandrea knows what he's doing. Plus keep us posted.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] txbrownrice:
Anyone have the dual speaker mod working on this rom?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] siamak5561:

[Nexus 5X Android Development] berom:
according to @Balthazard, it's not. See the post on Nov. 22nd.

[Nexus 5X Android Development] summersab:
I've been out of the rooting game for a few years because I was content with the mostly-vanilla Android on Nexus devices, but then, I looked at the traffic. I switched to this ROM yesterday, and at first glance, it seems to be just fine as a daily. I've got not issues with it, so far.

I used to use CM with GApps before microG was a thing, but I'm going to see if I can figure out what it takes to get microG working with this. It can't be that hard . . .

Many thanks to @theandroid02 for the build! I decided to add my voice to the thread to let you know that there are definitely users out there appreciating your efforts, so let us know how we can help/what we can test.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] r4ndys:
@theandroid02 thanks for the hard work !!!

Have you or anyone notice that they are not able to connect to hidden wi fi networks ???
[Nexus 5X Android Development] summersab:
I've been using this since my last post (2021-01-26), and it works just fine. I've not had any issues. I got microG installed and am living a life (nearly) free of Big Tech - it's a good feeling. I got my 5X as a refurb that was repaired via the warranty program, so I'll keep using it until no one builds ROMs for it anymore. It's a solid phone for me.

I don't have any feedback on connecting to hidden WiFi networks. That's not something I really do on the regular.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Dracoignis:
This works great, thanks so much for doing this build! Please keep it going if you can!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Forever with u:
have been using my Nexus 5x as a video shooting device all the while. But i found a problem here while using this Lineage Rom ，there is a weird and crazy loud voice distortion while using external Mic (via 3.5mm headphone jack).Tried at least 4 different mics amd it was working like a charm using other rom.

Is this related to the kernel ? anyway to fix this issue?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] hithereperson:
Installed on original 5X (no refurb/no bootloop) just to get peace of mind and get a little more life out of this device which I will use as a backup. Thank you very much for making this ROM available with the BLOD patch. Please keep it going, thank you, your effort is very much appreciated. Stay safe and well.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] PiranhaPhish:
My 5X seems to run incredibly slow with this ROM. Is that expected?

I flashed the non-BLOD variant and, compared to the last stock ROM, the device seems to stutter in everything that it does. I would perhaps expect this in the BLOD variant where, I presume, some cores are disabled or underclocked, but shouldn't the normal variant run fairly well? Or is this a case of LineageOS not being as optimized as the stock ROM was?

To be fair, I haven't run the stock ROM in quite some time as I've had this phone sitting on a shelf, and I only recently loaded LineageOS and tested it. So this is could be a subjective interpretation, skewed by the performance of my new phone. But I don't think so; my experience is that this phone is now maddeningly laggy whereas it never felt so before.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Punkiderma:
I suggest you to enable the Android go optimizations I wrote about in the previous pages, they really make a great difference.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dvdmdf:
Hi there,

is there a chance that you could tell how you actually could build this rom?

I did successfully compile the latest available los-rom (15.1) and was wondering if it is possible to port this to above versions - what you obviously did.

I'd like to try this myself - could you give a hint how and where to start?

It seems that there is / was some los-16.0-branch on github:

GitHub - LineageOS/android_device_lge_bullhead

Contribute to LineageOS/android_device_lge_bullhead development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

But compiling fails...

Cheers
[Nexus 5X Android Development] theandroid02:
The lineage-16.0 branch in the official repo never worked, and probably never will (no point in building pie if Q is available). If you want to build 17.1, i have a manifest in the first post.

Also, a new build is coming soon.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] SchlauFuchs:
Awaiting the new build then :)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] drnoellyg:
This is so weird I did a full wipe with TWRP, then flashed LOS 17.1 with the BLOD patch and then Gapps and then Magisk, rebooted and experienced a bootloop, I figured maybe I messed up the order so I went at it again and same thing. So I just did a dirty flash of just the patched ROM and it worked.

So just to make sure again I wiped with TWRP, and again same order and it booted up fine. I kinda want to see what went wrong that first time but at the same time I don't want bother as I'm setting it up to be an emergency phone so as long as it boots, I'm ok with it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mil676:
Has anyone found a working gcam for this mod? With working HDR?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] berom:
I would try this one: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-parrot043/#apk1520

Regular Gcam didn't work on android 10 for me. Only Gcam go.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Lothaen:
I installed this on an old device (unlocked + twrp + wipe + this rom) and it's taking ages to boot the first time. Is that expected? been awhile - not sure how long i have just left it ticking away in the background :)

TY

edit: re-flashed it again and left it for about 3 hours - not sure when it finished but it worked that time :D
[Nexus 5X Android Development] drnoellyg:
3 hours seems excessive. It does take a little longer to boot that first time, but for me at least it wasn't more than 5 minutes.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mil676:
I read that the gcams work smoother if they are installed as System app, but did not manage to install it as system app. I created a new Folder in /system/priv-app/ named camera and placed camera.apk inside. The Phone did not boot afterwards. Has anyone sucsessful installed an app as system app?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] PMDPhD:
This ROM works pretty well but I keep having a weird battery drain issue. I had the same with the last official release of the Pixel Experience ROM. I cannot figure out what is happening. It seems to drain normally...then all of a sudden it drains at a much faster rate as can be seen in the screenshot.

It seems to happen when the device is not even being used. I can't pin it to an app, I have tried with mobile on and off to see if looking for signal is an issue and nothing has been conclusive. Anyone have any ideas?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] pentium10:
what Kernel you are using? I had this before, but it stopped when I switched to linckandrea kernel.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] PMDPhD:
Standard kernel with the ROM. Have not flashed another kernel. Is it the same as flashing app in TWRP. Not really a ROM pro, still amateurish.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] pentium10:
You can flash Kernels without effecting roms. It's easy. You grab the kernel zip, put on your phone, flash it, restart and you are done.

this is the kernel I am using https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=10763459528675580958
[Nexus 5X Android Development] PMDPhD:
OK great. I can give this a shot. Was this kernel in this thread? Or from another ROM thread?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] pentium10:
There is a discussion that the above kernel is good for this ROM, and PixelExperience as well.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] anonxlg:
Can someone who's running this rom tell me how much ram the phone usually idles at? Or how much ram is used at startup.

Still running lineage 15/8.1 and idle ram usage getting high, don't know if it's because I updated magisk and modules, but it was idling at 1-1.2gb, but now it's idling at upwards of 1.4gb. Device is getting really unresponsive when I launch in and out of apps.

Hows the perfomance going with the latest build, thinking of flashing it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Cursedmale:
Yeah, I kinda need some help here. This is the first Los I've used that does not have radio issues from time to time. I like it and would like to use it. However I'd like to make some of my own custom changes. I find I'm not able to do that. From what I can tell the ext2 fs used on /system is out of inodes. Tune2fs says there 100% used. Full disk althow the size reports over a GB free. I've tried recreating the partition with more inodes but it bootloops. Idk if its a missed placed super block or what but tune2fs reports all same layout and everything except the inode count. (Maybe incompatible block size from more inodes in same size fs??) Anyway, I can not seem to get any other image to boot. Is there a reason for such a small inodes count in this ROM?? I've duplicated the image as close as I can just with a larger I node count but, no boot, just loop. Can someone help me out with this? Oh, and parted reports a NON STANDARD INCOMPATIBLE setup as does tune2fs. But that none standard format is the only one I can get to boot. What's up with that?/I had big plans for this ROM.

I've been usine Linux for years. Made .IMG backups with dd a while back. Unfortunately I lost mynbackups and now I have a curropt persist partition. I really need a persist IMG to fix it.

Anyone having an issue where the time resets after reboot?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] christnt:
The time might reset indeed after rebooting, but it gets synced after connecting to the network. This issue is related to last versions TWRP., as far as I know, on some devices, including the Nexus series.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Bhonka:
Hmm do you know which version keeps the correct time?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] christnt:
Not sure as it seems to be a very old bug. Issue 640 But I wouldn't use an old version of TWRP with new versions of LineageOS. Might not work or even brick the device. Updates/upgrades are not made for no reason...

As for me, time gets synced anyway after connecting to the network. So it is wrong for only a few seconds.

[Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers] konifabu:
[update/edit] I should confirm here that I obtained the most recent firmware from Motorola and checked the MD5s of all the images before flashing. I followed the flashing order in the factory xml service file (which is the same as the flashfile, except it doesn't wipe userdata). Still, getting a bootloop that kicks me into AP fastboot flash mode. Error is that there's no bootable A/B slot. No idea why. Admittedly, I haven't updated ADB or fastboot in three months, but I can't imagine that's the problem.

TL;DR I installed RETAIL OTA firmware onto a RETUS device. It's possible that I murked something else up along the way. Fortunately I can still get into a bootloader (although it's different than the usual one, no cute android dude, just centered text) and fastboot still recognizes it. Here's the getvar all:

I used Lenovo smart assistant to download the correct firmware, but I'd like to flash stuff individually instead of using LMSA, so I don't delete all my user data. However, when I try to flash the bootloader I get the title error. If I try to flash gpt.img to the partition, it just hangs. Any idea what's going on?
