Yep, I explained it a few pages back. Use the current twrp, flash OOS 11 and TWRP, reboot into recovery, Flash OOS and recovery again, reboot into recovery, then flash how and what you usually flash.

I have had this phone for couple of months now (I got it from a friend who was not using it). Originally multiple apps (Accubattery, Ampere) reported that the battery capacity is 2950mAh. That was an OEM battery so I thought that was weird. I replaced it with another new battery just now and apps still report the capacity as 2950mAh (yes I cleared the app data so that it will re-read things). Now I'm wondering if this is LOS issue. I did not play around OOS that much on the phone and would hate to just flash back to see if reported battery capacity is OS issue. I searched around the thread and don't see anyone reporting this, so wanted to ask if this is a known issue.

I was trying to install LOS yesterday but stuck in LOS boot animation. Fallowed all flashing instructions but still no luck. Can anyone help me..

Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Udaya.kr:
Hi,

I'm getting stuck in boot animation screen after flashing latest version of LOS. Fallowed all flashing instructions and tried both OOS 10 and 11 base still no luck.

Your help will be appreciated.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] CrysisLTU:
Set the battery capacity (3300mAh) manually in Accubattery
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] madman:
I know that is one option that I have but I was just curious why this is happening. On my old OP5, battery capacity is read correctly. I tried to look through LOS sources to see if this is some value hardcoded somewhere if that was the case but couldn't find anything.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] CrysisLTU:
I wouldn't worry about it. It used to detect it fine before, but I guess this changed after updating the OOS firmware, or after some LOS update. Still, this won't affect the actual battery life, so just set the capacity manually in these apps.

I'm on 20220111 and it works fine. But I did update via OTA from the last build
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] oops_mr_gumby:
Have you looked into whether your app is using Camera API v2 (or rather .. it's Camera2 API?)? I was having this exact problem this week with OpenCamera but once I set it to use the newer API it started working properly.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] rhhd:
How do I do that? I am just using the camera app that came with the ROM.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Not_perfect:
Same here. With 220111 stuck in boot animation. Went back to 220104, this work well for me
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Spaceoid:
Weird. 220111 via OTA here, no problems at all.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] oops_mr_gumby:
I had a look but I can't find anything in the stock camera (I did find an unresolved reddit thread asking the same question)...

Try installing OpenCamera. At the bottom of the settings menu, under Misc between "Online Help" and "About", check that it's set to use Camera2 API. If that works then it seems likely we're all suffering the same issue (does everyone else just install the OOS camera?). If you still can't get the stock camera going at least you'll have OpenCamera working.

Good luck!
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] rhhd:
Thanks a lot for the suggestion! I did install it. Let's see if the problem is gone...
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] gamertag128:
Hello there. I'm new to the party and wanted to ask you guys for some recommendations.

1. What Camera App would you recommend? ATM I'm using the gcam v.8.1 (which laggs a lot, but it also did with OOS11), older versions have file saving issues and just appear if I open them in File Manager (A11 issue).

2. Is there any good looking and trustworthy Launcher with proper gesture support. Everyone I tried was a bit buggy, when it comes to the navigation gestures?

I also want to thank the developers, because of their great work and better update support than OnePlus themselves, if it comes to security updates.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] madman:
I haven't tried multiple GCam ports but I'm also on some 8.1 and it does lag in viewfinder compared to OOS camera. But personally it doesn't bother me that much.

I also tried a lot of third party launchers but none of them worked flawlessly. I have made peace with built in launcher as the visual glitches in others just bothered me too much.

As with the other launchers I have the following problem in the multitasking menu. I heard about an magisk modul to fix that, but I didn't rooted my device :/
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] antonyjr:
I have the same issue. Should I try the 220104 nightly because I'm so frustrated. I had to use MSM tool to get back to stock OOS.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] hayvan96:
Or wait for the next build, should be fixed, I believe this commit is intended for that https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_system_core/+/321935

The commit message makes sense,

Thanks for the reply.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Dreyn:
Installed LOS 18.1 yesterday after reading the news of OOS software support ending. Rom works great and it's a nice change after OOS11, but it seems the Gmail notification bug persists even with custom roms (maybe it's related to the vendor image?).

Disabling battery optimization for Gmail & Calendar ("Settings > Accounts > Google > Sync now" worked again), but today it's broken again: many Google apps (Calendar, Drive, Gmail, Keep...) fail to sync, and only do so when opened (using NikGapps). This happens while using both mobile data and Wi-Fi.

Has anyone faced this problem on LOS 18.1 and found a solution?

I guess I could try to gather some logs, but being the same problem I had on OOS I don't know if a custom rom could fix this.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lord high executioner:
And what is that problem?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lord high executioner:
OpenCamera.

I'm using it for ages (and several phones) now and am quite happy.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] gamertag128:
It takes about a second to show the first app on multitasking and the animation is a bit rough. If I had to guess, I would say it wants to show me the launcher as an other app, but the visibility of it is disabled so it jumps to the next one.

I should give an Update too:

1. I got used to the stock launcher and am quiet happy now. I think the direct comparison between OxygenOS and Trebuchet was a bit much, so I initially thought I would want something with more "glamour", but after a nap everything was fine 😊

2. I don't know how I got there, but the GCam v.8.1 Port has now a minimum amount of lags so atm it is quiet usable. If it gets worse over time, I will try Opencamera as recommend above.

Huge thanks for all off your recommendations and the great LineageOS Port. I feel great to be able to receive further security updates and every bit off reduced e-waste is something to be happy about 😄
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] gamertag128:
More questions:

I outsourced my 2FA for online banking on a separate device, so safetynet doesn't bother me to much, but if I could recover Widevine L1, I would be very happy. Is it possible to regaining it, by locking the bootloader, while using LOS Recovery & LOS, or would this brick my device? 😂
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] antonyjr:
You can get Widevine again if you relock your bootloader. But to do that you need to build your LOS and sign it yourself and do a lot of other stuff. Detailed guide here -> https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-re-lo...s-6t-with-a-self-signed-build-of-los.4113743/

But I warn you, you take all the responsibilities and no one is to blame. But it should work fine for 18.1 too.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] gamertag128:
Thanks a lot 😊 I guess it's a bit risky for someone who is new to custom roms and uses it, as his/her primery device 😂 but if I really feel the need and have a bit more time, I maybe will give it a shot.

Hey guys,

Since OnePlus has finally dropped support for the OP6 I wanted to see if installing LineageOS is still as easy as with my OnePlus One years ago.

The first post isn't quite clear to me. Can anyone point me to a instruction that includes all the steps?

Thanks!
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] gamertag128:
I was in the same situation and used this tutorial with the 20220104 build, because some people had problems with the 20220111 build (updated on it afterwards with no issues). Instead of the microG builds, I downloaded the it directly from the LineageOS website 😄 If you want to use it as an instruction, I would recommend to watch it first and then go thru step by step, because he made some mistakes, which he corrects afterwards. As for the GApps I used "MindtheGApps" as recommend.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] antonyjr:
Follow the official guide. But Please don't flash the Jan 11th nightly build. It's buggy and cause to stuck on bootanimation. Go with 220104 build. That is working really good for me. Or wait for another build this week.

How long does it take for your phone to connect to your home wifi after you get home? For me, it sometimes takes a minute and I wonder why. Is that to be expected? :) (No big problem though, obviously. Just curious.)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] antonyjr:
For me in stock rom, the IMEI and baseband would magically disappear and re-appear again after some time or never appear and crash and reboot. With Lineage OS I only seen this very very rarely or never. I think this might be hardware issue. But using Lineage OS for like 3-4 days now, I have seen this issue occur very rarely in my phone(But it did occur to me twice in 3 days, but reboot would fix it or it would repair itself after seconds. But no crashes ever in LineageOS). So for you if in your stock everything works great but you only encounter this in Lineage OS then you can just use Stock or try to fix it or just use LineageOS with these little quirks.

Maybe oneplus screwed up some firmware. We will never know until they release the source which will never happen xD.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mcboums:
sometimes screen flickering :( is this firmware issue?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] antonyjr:
I really don't know, It could be hardware issue. These phones are notorious for that. or Maybe Oneplus is deliberately doing something to throttle something like Apple to make use buy new phones. Because IMO OP6 is really good in terms of performance. Why drop support for software when these phones are good in terms of performance.

Have you tried to connect a new display(yes you need to open up your phone to do that) and check if the flickering exists even in the new display? If it exists then the problem might be firmware/os or the motherboard itself. Because things like these which occurs randomly are very very hard to debug.

But I'm no expert in electronics or circuits.

I will stop here since the discussion is going off-topic and I'm really stupid with respect to electronics, so all I said is just my 2 cents not to be taken as verdict. Thanks.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] antonyjr:
But I have been using LineageOS nightly 220104 build and it works very good. Never going back to stock. No issues with IMEI or baseband anymore. Wifi and Data working flawless. But sometimes I can see the network just disappear but it will reappear in less than 10 seconds (This occurs very rarely though, I can't pinpoint the issue yet, it might be a corrupt EFS partition which I have backup so let me see, only time will tell).

But when I use internet constantly there is no interruption, in Stock I used to reboot randomly and interrupted network connection with both Wifi and data. The oneplus forums is suggesting it is a hardware issue. But how does LineageOS works flawlessly if it's hardware issue? I have no clue. Maybe it is caused by overheat and LOS seems to keep my phone cool all the time unlike the Stock.

I flashed 220111 via updater working fine
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] antonyjr:
Yeah. If you update with the official updater it does not break. This only happens if you freshly flash lineage os from stock.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Spaceoid:
Can someone else confirm that his phone takes 10-20 seconds to connect to wifi?

My old Sony took like 3 secs. According to OP forums, this might be an OOS 'issue' (if you want to call it like that), though.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] gamertag128:
If I toggle it off and on again, it takes about 3 seconds on my device.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Spaceoid:
I reset my wifi and bluetooth settings (via the settings) and also rebooted my router. Now the connection is made every time in 3 secs, too. So it was either a settings or router issue. Sorry for the confusion.

Edit: After 20 mins, connecting to wifi now takes 20 secs again.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] madman:
20 secs seem reasonably fast to me but if you really need it as fast as you can maybe try toggling this setting in developer options.

"WiFi Scan Throttling".

As the name suggests, android generally throttles how fast it should scan for networks to save power but I guess you can make that tradeoff?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Spaceoid:
Ty for that input! I already tried that option, no change.

And no, I do not 'need' it that fast... The backstory is, at work we operate at 5 GHz, too, and recently my phone lay very close to a 5 GHz antenna with very high output. So now I am wondering if the wifi delay is a software issue or a hardware fault caused at work.

Edit: "Slow" wifi connection (up to 20 sec) only happens with 5 GHz, 2,4 GHz seem to go faster. Might be a remnant of previous 5 GHz problems in OOS...?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Not_perfect:
Same here. I haven't figured it out why yet.

I'm getting qualcom crash dump frequently and randomly. But reboot just fixes it. What is happening? is it software issue or hardware?

I'm going to get a logcat to see if I could pinpoint the moment it crashes.

Using Lineage OS (Built from source and self-signed), the bootloader is re-locked with lineage os and working fine. OnePlus 6 Enchilada. I think I had no crashes with official lineage os build 220104 with the bootloader unlocked.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Spaceoid:
Just to gather some data (and because I have some free time right now) I chose to sweep to the 5 GHz channels manually in my router settings and take the time it takes to connect the phone to wifi.

Interestingly, lower channels (e.g. 36 and 40) get connected near-instantly (takes like 3 seconds), while higher channels (e.g. 60 or 116) take up to 10-15 seconds.

At this point I am not sure anymore if this is something like a small bug or just normal behaviour, as it is so constant and reproducable. Also, ofc. I can totally live with that behaviour.

Edit: Still, my old Sony connects to all possible channels within 2-3 seconds, so there is a difference.

Hey guys, anyone from India using the ROM? I am worried about the EOL support from OnePlus and wish to use LineageOS for security updates.

Just want to know if banking apps(ICICI/SBI etc.)/UPI apps(Google Pay/BHIM etc.)/Google Maps (GPS) works well or is blocked due to unlocked bootloader. I don't need root access, I have heard about Magisk but I am not really sure about it since the dev was hired by Google (https://9to5google.com/2021/05/17/google-john-wu-magisk-android-security-hire/)

What are the apps that "do not" work with Lineage?

In my case safetynet failed (some banking/payment Apps should not work, PayPal does) and widevine level dropped from L1 to L3 so HD Content (from Netflix, Prime Video, etc.) isn't available (YouTube is not affected).
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] antonyjr:
Banking apps will never work. If you want those, then just stay with stock. Google Pay and Paytm works, so you can use UPI but not banking apps. IMO UPI is better than some bank app.

Even if you do custom rom, the moment you unlock your bootloader in OP6, your widevine keys are erased and other things too. Newer models of OP will let you relock and get all keys again but not this one.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] antonyjr:
Yes. I built GAPPs in my ROM itself. I also built F-Droid directly into the build. No problems. But you won't recover L1 widevine. I still have L3. But we get some extra protection with locked bootloader. Like a unique ID displayed when booting. You can check if someone tampered with your phone to some extent. But if the hacker is very intelligent then you have to go with user build not userdebug.
