Alternative nightlies downloads

Nightlies bring a lighter LineageOS alternative. All these apps have been removed: AudioFX, Camera2, Contacts, DeskClock, Dialer, Eleven, Email, Etar, ExactCalculator, Exchange, Gallery2, Jelly, Messaging, Snap, Updater. Ambient Display screen brightness has been increased, so they are not recommended for using it with AOD. A different bootanimation has been implemented to make it easier to notice that you are using nightlies. They are 100% compatible with the traditional builds, so yes dirty flashing works.

No, sorry.

I've seen some NFC stuff merged in Lineage gerrit.

Are these commits included in the latest nightly?

They are supposed to avoid NFC crashes.

Thanks
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
They are not included, but I tested them and they don't fix our NFC issues.

Hi, thanks for your report.

Are you sure screen timeout doesn't work?

Just tested it with 15 sec, 30 sec and 1 minute. All of them worked fine.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] zarolio:
Not for me at least. I select 15 seconds, I return to home page and it simply doesn't work. It resets to 1 min. Sometimes it keeps my selection until screen is locked but it resets to 1 min afterwards.

Thank you for your time.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] zarolio:
Sorry for that. I found that it was my Keepscreenon app that was messing everything up. i uninstalled it and sleep timer works fine.

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] llucax:
Hi, I've been using this ROM for a while and I'm quite happy with it, but I have a few questions:

1. Why is device encryption not supported? I notice almost (all?) no custom ROM supports it, so I guess there is something quite inherent to custom ROMs. If you have a short summary or a link to pass to get more info about it, I would like to know.

2. I'm having issues with Bluetooth pairing and response to play buttons/events. Basically if the screen is off it won't respond to pairing requests or play events or it will take a long while to respond, while with the screen on is immediate (like my bluetooth earbuds that were paired before and when I turn them on they request my phone to pair but this only works with the screen on). Also, no problem with volume/down or pause events. I tried disabling the battery optimization to the media player I'm using and also to the "Bluetooth", "com.android.providers.media" and "Blue" apps. This made things somehow a bit better but still my device is unresponsive most of the time when the screen is off. Is this a known issue and/or is there a workaround for it? (I think this happened with the official ROM too, after some update a long ago, so I wonder if it might be some other issue with my phone. I also think when I first installed this ROM it worked and at some point I started to have issues again).

Thanks!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] judgecal:
I've been having the same problem with Bluetooth pairing ever since changing from the Android 10 build to Android 11 build in August. Like you, I can only get the phone to pair with any Bluetooth device if the screen is unlocked, and haven't found a workaround for it yet.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] stahlsau:
#metoo

this is similar to what I experienced. I can pair it with screen on, it will stay paired if the screen is forced on (display timeout to "never"), but it will loose connection within 2 minutes if the display is off.

It does work while playing audio over bluetooth, maybe because the connection is busy then. But it doesn't work with the hands free phone mode in the car, for example, imho because the connection is on standby then (and gets shut down by some powersaving stuff, maybe).
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] llucax:
For me once the connection is established it keeps stable. I only experience issues with the "resume" after I paused the media, the resume will only be responsive immediately when the screen is on (when off it will sometimes work, but most of the time not, and sometimes it works after a big delay, like I press the resume button in the earbuds and after 5 seconds it would resume). If I turn the screen on after pressing the resume button it will also work, is like the event is queued but not processed until the screen is on.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] judgecal:
This rings true for me as well now you mention it. Play back of media in my car is fine once it's playing, but often has to be resumed from the phone rather than the in car controls if there's been any pause of at least a few mins in playback. Like you say, it's like the Bluetooth is being put to sleep if it's not in use.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] siyman:
Hi,

thank you so much for your work, highly appreciated! It took me a while to figure out how to flash TWRP as well as getting through the LG recovery "paywall" but after all it's running smooth as silk.

What made me curious is your release notes hint calling miracast: I cannot figure out how to connect lineageos ever since 17.x releases to connect to my displays disregarding any kind of hardware (LG G6 of course, Nexus 7 Wifi, Lenovo Yoga Pad). Stock Android Pie still works. Is this somehow a general issue or did you do any changes that makes it work but not with my very TV?

Thanks,

siyman
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
It works for me, check the attached vídeo to see how to enable it.

Hi, first of all, thank you for bringing my phone a new life because it was nearly unusable with the stock rom. Now, I would like to report a broken split view. Sometimes, the lower window content is misplaced when picking the second app so it is hard to pick one. See the attached image to see what is going on (there is clock app on top, home screen at the bottom).

Just flashed it, it's basically a new phone now, 20 times faster and smoother than latest stock rom, insane job congratulations

EDIT: two quick questions. Can double tap to sleep on the homescreen be enabled with the stock launcher? And can double tap to wake bring directly to the pattern or pin input rather than still having to swipe up?

Hi everyone, and sorry for my question. I absolutely need your help. Today I unlocked the bootloader of my lg g6 and then I did the various steps to install the twrp recovery, but once installed I can't start it.. after entering the adb command that installs it, it takes me back to the screen where to format the memory .. it should be normal, because after pressing yes twice it should start the recovery, but it doesn't work..it boots into the system and not in twrp recovery .. someone knows what it can be the problem and can explain to me how to install it correctly? I followed all steps from a XDA thread linked here, so I don't know why it doesn't work..I wanted so much trying this lineage version for my g6 (yeah, I have LG drivers already installed and my PC recognised it, twrp is renamed and located in adb folder, and I have bootloader unlocked, so I don't know)..thanks in advance

Which gapps package are you using?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] edittest2016:
no magisk module, i installed gapps from opengapps site micro.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
As stated in the first post of this thread, using Roar Gapps is the best choice by far. But if you still want to use OpenGapps, disable Ok Google detection or use pico package to avoid audio issues.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] edittest2016:

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Ferexio:
If someone wants to have less battery consumption then needed is root (use Magisk, is the best for root) and Franco Kernel Manager. Default CPU clock speed is 2200MHz, and for less battery consumption is suggested set CPU clock speed to 1593MHz.

Please look at this screen for more informations.

2. Install zip file from TWRP

1. Reboot into recovery.

2. Go to Wipe, Advanced Wipe and wipe:

- Dalvik/ART Cache

- System

- Cache

3. Install:

- The ROM zip for your variant

- Gapps & Trash remover (optional)

- Gapps

- Magisk (optional)

4. Reboot System.

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Ferexio:
Dirty flash, mean, you must format system partition and cache, but data will be same as before flash. Don't worry about your data.

One question: When you were logged to your Google account on which partition this information was saved? To system or data? Where any apps are installing? To system partition or data?

I cannot believe that my G6 is still going strong with this rom.

Thanks Bernardobas!

I did dirty flashing following the usual steps & Magisk doesn't work for some reason, I don't have root. I don't particularly mind at the moment, but I found it interesting. This is the first time that happened in years.

edit: Apparently I updated Magisk from within the manager app before & that turned my old M23.zip useless. After grabbing an M24.1.zip it started working again.

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] tracid1987:
I am new to flashing ROMs and i have some confusions around the instructions, please help me to make them clear.

instructions say: "Download the latest build and Roar Gapps (only main package, flashing other addons will cause issues)" then "Flash the latest build and Roar Gapps Mini Me". So what does "main package" mean? main package=Mini me? or main package=basic addons? its confusing. so which should i install for lineageOS 18.1 as primary and can i install secondary?

Second question: instructions say "the order for flashing is: ROM + Gapps & Trash Remover + Gapps + Magisk." Why is Gapps mentioned 2 times? whats the purpose of flashing it 2 times one after other?

Thank you for your help
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] AmbientMix:
For your 2nd question, it's not gapps twice. It's the trash and gapps remover package, then gapps. This is to clean things up and then ensure that gapps gets added back.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] AmbientMix:
Per your 1st question I think there are currently just 4 packages for the Roar gapps: the "main" package, the "basic addons", the "standard addons", and a package with a terminal (?).

The terminal package is .tar.xz, not .gzip so I assume that one can be ignored.

The add-ons packages are to be flashed in addition to the "main" package, so these are what the OP is saying not to flash.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] tracid1987:
Thank you for clarification, now i understand

Thank you. so the main package is the mini-me then.

Is there any way to install some additional apps from google (like maps, gmail, calendar, drive) into the system partition causing no issues? Because if i install them later through google play then they will be installed into userdata partition which is not good. i need to fill the largely unused system partition with those apps. (and the updates later in the future to be stored in the system partition as well)

Thank you
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] akaloith:
-I used with this rom

open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-20220211.zip

any problem with that?

-cant find where to ota update rom, only manually ?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Gabbbbbbb:
I think the updates (newer copies of the full apps) are never stored on the system partition, so you won't be saving space either way. You gain nothing practical, even if you succeed with this.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] AmbientMix:
Correct, one would have to move the update into the system partition on every update.

I'm not sure why you say having them installed on the user partition would be 'not good'. That's how the OS is designed to work. If space is an issue it would be easier to just get a sizable sdcard and have the media files moved to it, make it the default location for the camera, etc.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] tracid1987:
I thought that purpose of installing Gapps and maybe some addons (where it was or wasnt an issue in the past) right after flashing the ROM is that you use the system partition for those apps so they dont steal userdata partition space.

But if i am wrong then whats the difference in installing Gapps right after ROM vs installing them one by one through google play? Why to bother installing a package and getting one or two apps i dont need if i can just install what i really need from google play. (the only benefit i see if i perform a factory reset then the package will be reinstalled automatically so i dont ave to manually install one by one)

Let me know if i see this thing incorrectly.

Than you
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Gabbbbbbb:
It's exactly as you said, you get preinstalled apps, that cannot be removed, not even with a factory reset. You to user don't benefit from this. The only thing you need is the Playstore and its basic dependencies, if you have more things you can save a little time, when setting up the phone, there is nothing else to it, you will not save storage in a real life scenario.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Roma-XDA:
I'm having the same/similar issue with stockROM on LG G6 US997. When someone calls me on the phone the call goes to voicemail, but if I call someone it works fine, and if someone calls me immediately after I call someone it rings and works fine.
