[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] RicardoSal24:
Your best bet would be to just wait until you can permanently unlock it. I got mine from best buy and only recently did I bother with flashing roms on it.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
I have a TMO device and had a temp unlock, and obviously it doesn't allow oem unlocking to be enabled. I DM'd TMOhelp on twitter and was able to get a permanent unlock there. They told me that I'd have to wait for my temp unlock to expire before I could perm unlock, but I didn't. If you have trouble with the app, just clear the storage and cache data for it. Once it is actually perm unlocked you'll immediately get a notification and be prompted to restart the phone. After that you should see oem unlocking enabled in dev options and be able to hit bootloader and unlock it.

CUSTOM KERNEL:

[TESTING]

It may fix some problems for some devices. Flash via TWRP.

Kernel LOS-16.0
​
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] PapaMoZ:
Thank you so much

dirty flash didn't work for me so i flashed the rom cleanly. magisk and EdXposed work so well. the default wallpaper picker is limiting me from cropping an image the way i want to so i used wallpaper picker from GApps, battery life is as good as the oreo rom you just released recently. navigation bar menu wasn't found in the setting although i can search it and it shows where it is. currently running gravitybox and greenify on EdXposed and redmi note 2 tool to optimize my battery life. instagram still stutters every time a video and or a live feed is being played

update :

instagram stutter issue is not as bad as the one in the LOS 15.1, battery life is slightly worse than LOS 15.1's, substratum doesn't work as good as in the LOS 15.1
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Adam Hui:
OMG... this phone still alive !! amazing, good work !!
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] crass1968:
The phone got a new life! Thank you!

But there is a serious problem - it is impossible to connect to a hidden wifi access point. In advanced settings support for a hidden access point is on.

if make AP visible SSID then phone may connected, but if make AP hidden SSID then phone not see this AP and not connect even if AP name was saved!

WiFi Analyzer application installed on this phone shows hidden APs without SSID.

I had this problem and with lineage-15.1-20200422 firmware too.

Please fix this problem! I need it very much!

Random reboot on my hermes

Hi friend, is possible to fix it.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Kinderjoy:
want to share my experience using this rom.

previously i was using miuipro so more or less i compare these 2 roms.

PROS:

1 pretty good battery life

2 better performance

3 it's lighter

4 better than lollipop

CONS:

1 it reboots randomly (more than 10 times in a day)

2 the sim cards sometimes not detected, when detected the signal have X mark sign

3 confusing settings menu for me

4 not support non-mainstream icon app in status bar

5 can't play media (music, YouTube) from BT speaker

after all really appreciate your work

thanks ;)
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] rocka10023:
For random reboot i tested to suitch in development option the android system web view, for now no random reboot, continue the test.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] PapaMoZ:
it's still in beta so we may experience some bugs along the way. you might wanna try the more stable LOS 15.1 released by him as well last month. it has better battery life and it's easier to install magisk and xposed in that very rom. though i like how substratum works in this LOS 16, i still have better experience overall in LOS 15.1 as it's more stable and the only bug i encountered was some stuttering on instagram in both vanilla and modded app. i don't really use it though, so it's not a big of a deal for me

[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] verbage:
Just a note, but I have not been tracking the RN2 scene for a while now as things had stagnated a while back, but I just came to take a look for nostalgia, and was thrilled to see [MENTION=7175518]ibilux[/MENTION]'s recent efforts with LOS--incredible and awesome--thanks so much!!!

In my eagerness to try it out on my dormant RN2, I grabbed the latest TWRP which is now at v3.4.0-0 (https://dl.twrp.me/hermes/twrp-3.4.0-0-hermes.img.html). But it does not work with this, and it yields the same error 7 as shown in the first posts. So I will try v3.3.1 now, but as I was reading through the LOS15.1 thread, I saw a message from [MENTION=7324528]zetrix2[/MENTION] pointing out that there is a big difference between the official TWRP v3.3.1 (https://dl.twrp.me/hermes/twrp-3.3.1-0-hermes.img.html) and the one linked to in this thread (https://mega.nz/folder/81E0gIjY#yu8I2C8l2GkeONfWW8vlxQ).

[MENTION=7175518]ibilux[/MENTION], any thoughts about the differences?

And thanks so much again for your efforts with this--I am so happy that I may be able to put my old RN2 back into service after sitting in a drawer for the last couple of years!
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] verbage:
Just a quick followup--I tried the official TWRP v3.3.1 recovery, and that produced the same error when trying to install this ROM :(. So I installed [MENTION=7175518]ibilux[/MENTION]'s posted version of TWRP v3.3.1 instead, and the install went fine. I installed the ROM, then the custom kernel, then the GPS fix, then Magisk, and then OpenGApps Nano in that order. The only hiccup is that as I was setting the RN2 up, the GPS seemed dead so I rebooted to recovery, reflashed the GPS fix, and the GPS started working fine on reboot.

I have not used this ROM extensively yet, but everything I have tried so far works perfectly. Ah, one exception is OpenCamera--when you take a pic with the MicroSD card as the storage destination, the picture appears as a solid gray background in the Gallery until several hours later (maybe longer?) when it starts to show normally. But I believe this is a problem between LOS16.0 and OpenCamera as the exact same issue happens for me on an LG G4 that is running LOS16.0.

Anyway, I am thrilled with this development--thanks so much [MENTION=7175518]ibilux[/MENTION], this breathes some new life into the RN2 for me! And it finally has a relatively modern Android security patch level instead of being years behind! I will try to give this RN2 a better workout in the next few days to see if I spot any issues.

[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Kowalski_John:
Bluetooth headphones do not work

I installed LineageOS 16.0 and I am really surprised. It works really good. I've had it for over a week. I am using GAPPS Pico. All basic functions work properly. Great appreciation and respect for the developers who gave RN2 a second life. :D

Unfortunately, I found one bug. Bluetooth headphones do not work. :(The headphones BT connect correctly. Pairing the headphones is fine. But the sound can only be heard from the phone both during the call and multimedia. The headphones BT have no sound. :(

Please fix it. I use BT headphones every day. It is very important to me.

Regards.

The ROM feels really smooth and fast!

I just wanted to say thank you to the developer!

The ROM feels really smooth and fast!

I recommend flashing the kernel too (otherwise I was getting random reboots quite often).

I am currently running the rom with out a SIM card so I haven't tested phone calls and such.

To sum up, I am running the lineage-16.0-20200429-UNOFFICIAL-hermes_bilux.zip with the provided kernel-3.10.108-M-los16.0.zom, the fix-mtkgps-pie.zip, Magisk-v21.1.zip, open_gappes-arm64-9.0-nano-2020121.zip.

PS: I also installed the "PowerVR GPU Developer Driver (Early Access)" from playstore but I saw no difference.

I am attaching some screenshots.

Does anyone experience stuttering\laggy video playback with this rom?
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] arh91:
[Warning: No native english]

Yes, the videos can lag...

- This ROM use only 4 of the 8 CPU cores; video decoding of formats like VP9 (YouTube) or HEVC 10bit requires high processing power, because is no hardware accelerated (VPU) or the decoding is hibrid. 4 cores at maximum frecuency generate more heat that 8 cores at medium frecuency.

Install "Redmi Note 2 Tool", this app enable the 8 cores; and set the Max (CPU) frequency to 1326MHz when playing video.

Monitor the CPU usage and temperature with "Simple System Monitor" App, mtkscpu sensor; if the video lag when the temp is higher that 65°C or the load is under 90% is probably the thermal throttling and the only way of improve this is allowing higher temperatures in the CPU...

Warning: this modification can break you phone if you no limit the CPU Max frequency under heavy work load.

For change the "normal thermal limit" (65°C)

Edit the name of

"thermal.conf" in

/system/vendor/etc/.tp

Change to "thermal.conf.bak"

That allow the CPU to work at 85°C stable and 90+°C peaks (Similar to the "Performance" battery profile in MIUI Rom)

The battery voltage can cause lag if it not enough for feed all the cores; low voltage happens in aged batteries, or when the charge or the temperature is low; in this case connect the charger (or change the battery).

If the lag happen in lightweight videos or hw accelerated videos try another player if possible...

MX Player has the best performance in HW and SW modes in this phone.

So, I installed this and it works fine for the most part. I did the following order of installation:

ROM

Kernel

OpenGapps Nano (lower versions gives issues to some users I read in the 15.1 thread)

GPS-fix

5Ghz Wifi is recognized but not working, no internet. Also after restart it didn't work. 2.4Ghz works fine.

Camera gave me some issues but seems to be fine now after two reboots. First time it said there wasn't enough space on the SD-card. When check the storage, there was a 'tencent' card or something, forgot the exact name. I deleted it and now it works.

Have not made calls with it yet, WiFI seems okay for now.
