Ok, I've finally installed LOS on my Atom XL. Some questions persist though:

1. In Canada it's legal to record a phone call. Why is it not available? I know there's a guide to recompile Dialer.apk, but I'm wondering why is it not avaiable from the box.

2. Google Pay won't work if I understand correctly. That should be a huge warning for those who unlock their phones, had I known it beforehand - I would think several times probably. But now it's late. Unless there's an option to pass SafetyNet check somehow, but I've tried all options I could google.

3. How to remove Orange State warning during the boot process? Is that something that will always be with me after unlocking? I didn't see any instruction about it.

Otherwise the system is really smooth and responsive, thank you a-dead-trousers.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] a-dead-trousers:
I'm using most apps out of the box from lineage. If it's not there I don't have the means to provide it, sorry. Maybe you could give it a shot. My repository is public. Everyone can fork it and provide a patch.

Main Problem is the "unlocked" state of the phone. There are some guides to hide that from SN by forcing it on a fallback solution but that didn't work for me.

Best I can do is "yellow" state (Locked, but non stock signing keys). That means I need to find a way to combine recovery and vendor.img into LOS build process to include them into the signing process (which I wasn't able to pull off for now). This also means doubling the size of the rom (vendor.img). Also one would need to flash/install the signing keys I used onto the device and everytime an update comes along it could potentialy "brick" the phone cause it could "break" the hash values of the signed partitions. So you see this is a risky step to take.

Hi There

Tryed to get lineageo os my atome xl but failed

i folloed the guide by github https://github.com/ADeadTrousers/android_device_Unihertz_Atom_LXL/blob/master/docs/HOW-TO-INSTALL.md

and used the latest lineage-17.1-20211114-UNOFFICIAL-Atom_XL_EEA-signed.zip

gut seams to faile

errore message while using sideload was

"update process ended with ERROR: 7"

on PC side:

"total xfer: 0.00x"

looks like something went wrong

do have anaone of you an idea?

before while whiping there was a error message

"Failed to mount "/systeme_root" (Permission denied)"

"Failed to mount "/vendor" (Permission Denied)"

I'm totaly new on working wit android devices

just wanna leave th ios world to secure device

thanks

best regard and greatings from germoney
[Miscellaneous Android Development] a-dead-trousers:
Let me guess: You used "adb sideload" for the installation.

"Error: 7" could mean many things but this early in the installation process it's most definitely a problem with the partion sizes. See the "Troubleshooting" section in my installation guide.

If you want to be sure you could use an external sd card for transfering the rom onto the device and then install it from within TWRP. This way you will see the whole error log.

These two I need for the decryption of the internal storage. I don't know why TWRP is trying to access them during wiping though. Because everything else is working I asume it's safe to ignore the error messages for now.

Security with a custom rom is a little bit tricky to achieve (see my previous post). So don't expect to have a "fully" functional device for now. I'm still working on the "yellow state" for my own device as I need some security apps to work even after magisk hide being discontinued. So maybe if it's not too much of a hassle I'll write a guide for this. Currently I'm waiting for unihertz's A11 release to switch to LOS 18.1 / TWRP 3.6.0.

Schöne Grüße aus Österreich retour.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mokhand:
What do you mean by "discontinued"?

I use it with the latest version of Magisk and it works for me (for all applications except Google Pay)

What is A11? Is it some kind of new release of the firmware?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] a-dead-trousers:
John Wu "changed sides" therefore the next release will not have the "hide" feature anymore.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mokhand:
Thanks! That's sad.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lambgx02:
All of us need to continually hound our representatives, worldwide, to ensure that right-to-repair legislation enshrines the right to "root" devices without consequence. It needs to be illegal to detect whether or not a device has been rooted for the purpose of restricting that user's right to do something. The entire "safetynet" system needs to go.

Of course, that needs to be coupled with the right to root, period; it should be a criminal act to manufacture or import for resale any device that restricts its owner from accessing the highest level of privilege available (or imposes consequences for doing so).

The loss of root hiding will inconvenience a lot of people... though that could be a good thing in the end. I'd switch banks if mine ever stopped working on my rooted device, for example.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] it_unihertz_when_i_pee:
I've been running on the stock ROM for a while, because of aforementioned carrier issues with this Lineage ROM, but I wanted to factory reset my phone anyway due to self-inflicted problems, so I thought I would make another run at trying Lineage, and failing that just stay on the stock ROM.

The point at which I'm getting hung up is getting into the recovery to try flashing Lineage. All previous steps worked fine.

This time around, I cannot, for the life of me, get a recovery to boot. I've tried with the TWRP recovery image in the original post links, and with the Lineage recovery in the old Atom (X)L thread with no luck. (This one worked for me on my last attempt, whereas TWRP had never worked.) Whether I try the "hold volume up to boot to recovery" or try using fastboot reboot recovery, I can't seem to get into recovery.

If I hold volume up, the phone just sits at the boot splash screen for a while until I relent and let go of the button, then the phone will boot back into the normal ROM. If I try using fastboot, I get nothing but the stock ROM booting again.

I tried both procedures with the May 2021 stock ROM (having flashed the phone earlier tonight) and after applying the November 2021 OTA stock ROM update, with no change in behavior.

Am I doing something wrong and don't realize? Any other ideas for getting to recovery?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] a-dead-trousers:
Hi.

fastboot reboot recovery isn't gonna work as "fastboot" simply has no options for "reboot". Therfore "recovery" is simply being ignored. Only "adb" features this.

You need to use fastboot reboot and as soon as the screen goes dark press volume up (no other buttons) until the "orange boot" warning disapears and the TWRP boot logo shows up. There is no other way to boot into TWRP after flashing it that I know of. If you let the stock rom boot it will once more replace TWRP with the stock recovery.

Oh, and you need to make sure you have the right region version to your current bootloader (stock rom flash). The bootloader is especially picky when it comes to EEA vs. TEE and not so with L vs. XL. Whenever I tried to switch between EEA and TEE during my tests I needed to flash the bootloader of that region whereas I tried to switch between L and XL I didn't need to do that. Otherwise you will get this ominous green line on top of the screen. This seems to be connected with the device encryption which is part of the vendor partition and not the kernel. Therefore I was able to use the TEE XL kernel with the EEA XL release.

Also bootloader version needs to match the stock kernel I used in the TWRP builds. The latest from August is for the May stock rom.

EDIT: As soon as Unihertz releases their A11 update I'll provide LOS 18.1 and TWRP 3.6 as a combined release.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] it_unihertz_when_i_pee:
Good to know for the future.

Yeah it just doesn't work for me. Holding volume up just makes the phone boot loop until I let go.

I've checked again and again that I have the TWRP image for the L model, TEE region. No change at all. Still won't boot to recovery.

Because I don't fear bricking the phone, I tried the TEE XL recovery and the EEA L recovery, with no change in behavior there either.

--

When I use the fastboot flash commands for the vbmeta partitions, it reports 'OKAY', so I'm working on the assumption that the previous fastboot flashing unlock step was successful. Is this a valid conclusion?
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] Firelaf:
I live in the UK and right now I'm in the market for a midrange phone that will last a couple years. I've had my eyes on the OnePlus Nord, Pixel 4a, and now the new 4a 5g.

I think Google kind of blew it with the pricing here. In the us the Pixel 4a costs $349. That translates to about 270£ but Google still sells it at 349£. Ok, an extra 80 quid is more but it's not that bad. Well now they are doing it with their new phones too. The Pixel 4a with 5g should by all means cost 385£. Instead they sell it for 500£, a full 125£ more! Imagine your Pixel 4a 5g costing $650! That is almost as much as their new flagship.

This pricing is intentional, as they have noticed the difference in price between regions was getting ridiculous and they've dropped the Pixel 5 to 600£ ($775).

I'm very disappointed in Google for that one. I don't see their new phones selling well here with how competitive the midrange market has gotten.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] RalphNader:
But doesn't Apple do the same? I recently purchased the 4a because my 2XL rear camera got damaged and I could not see myself jumping into another phone when I use it mostly when I travel. I would look how much bandwidth you plan to use and other conveniences that make sense and refrain from all flagship phones. I don't understand why Americans tend to make the rest of the world wait for a intro phone and even charge more......especially to countries that assisted in the manufacturing process to begin with.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] gee2012:
Germany pricing is 486 euro`s (436 pounds), wich is descent imo for what you get.

[Other SmartWatches] Peter Gamma:
I was looking for a Linux smartwatch. I found that AsteroidOS is a full Linux distribution. But there is no new watch on the supported watches list for AsteroidOS. Then I found by accident the KW88 Pro smartwatch:

https://github.com/AsteroidOS/asteroid/issues/79

The KW88 Pro Android 7.0 Smart Watch 1GB+16GB Bluetooth 4.0 WIFI 3G Smartwatch Support Google store Weather Voice GPS Maps can be found for US $77.34 – 82.80 on Aliexpress.

The KW88 Pro seems to run Linux AsteroidOS, a suprisingly cheap Linux watch. Has someone experience with the KW88 Pro?

Linux AsteroidOS seems to run on it with the bug that two fingers are necessary to control the touch screen.

was the installation of AsteroidOS performed properly? Chandler Swifts instruction "Installing AsteroidOS on the Kingwear KW88 Pro" is very professional. Maybe this instruction can solve the problem.

[Other SmartWatches] Peter Gamma:
If this works, it has the potential to become an interesting full Linux watch. I first became interested in the Ticwatch Pro for Linux, but this watch should already run AsteroidOS with all the external Bluetooth low-energy and ANT+ sports sensors I suggested for the Linux TIcWatch Pro:

[Other SmartWatches] Peter Gamma:
I asked Chandler Swift, developer of "Installing AsteroidOS on the Kingwear KW88 Pro"

Did Bluetooth and WIFI woirk on your Kingwear KW88 Prowith AsteroidOS? Chandlers answer:

"Hi Peter,

I haven't had much luck with either Bluetooth or Wifi, but I haven't tried particularly hard to get them working. I think that LittleFox on the #asteroidos irc channel may know more than I do about getting wifi things working, but that may also be with another watch.

For wifi, the hardware all seems to work and is detected, but wpa_supplicant crashes when I try to connect. I'm guessing, then, that this is a software issue. If I get it figured out, I'll try to remember to let you know, but it's not too high on my priority list.

For Bluetooth, it worked fine with the original firmware, but after flashing AsteroidOS connections have been unstable, generally staying connected somewhere between a few seconds and a few minutes (occasionally hours) at a time. However, I flashed back to stock firmware and I'm still having the same issue, so perhaps something AsteroidOS does modifies some firmware to a corrupt state? I know the MAC address was updated, and may try setting that back -- not sure if that's the only issue though.

If you do have a KW88 Pro, I'd be curious if you can help me do some troubleshooting on the unmodified bluetooth stack, to try to figure out what is different between my broken state and factory, and why re-flashing the firmware doesn't fix it.

Thanks!

Chandler"
[Other SmartWatches] Peter Gamma:
Huawei watch supports Bluetooth and WIFI. But for external sports sensors Bluetoth low energy or ANT+ support is required. This could be added to a Linux watch by using an usb dongle. But which AsteroidOS watch allows adding an usb dongle?
[Other SmartWatches] Peter Gamma:
Sorry for my monologue here, but I want to make this thread here complete. Maybe a more experienced developer takes over?

The project of a Garmin watch alternative still alive. Huawei watch has Bluetooth 4.1, LE, which is BLE:

[Other SmartWatches] Peter Gamma:
There are several ANT+ Rasperri Pi projects which run on the Linux PinePhone for ANT+ sports sensors. They require an ANT+ stick. Can ANT+ sticks be addedt to Linux smartwatches?

The Adafruit Peloton BLE bike computer runs also on the PinePhone. It is not tested yet, but there are no major problems there. It could be modified to make a BLE sports watch out of it, and be modified to run on a Linux smartwatch.

There is no easy way to use external BLE sensors with the PineTime, was stated by PineTime developers.

I m on a long-term project to find an open source alternative for Garmin watches, which do not allow an easy access to sensor data or sensor data streaming to Matlab or Python for instance over MQTT.

AsteroidOS has a community on Twitter and an IRC chat,

https://asteroidos.org/contact/

but there is no forum for sharing experience. Therefore, threads for Linux AsteroidOS in the xda developer forum makes sense.
[Other SmartWatches] Peter Gamma:

2. LG Watch Urbane W15

3. LG G Watch R (lenok)

https://asteroidos.org/install/lenok/

has also PostmarketOS support:

https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/LG_G_Watch_R_(lg-lenok))

A combination of a newer watch which a newer Linux OS would be desirable, but I guess if you don’t want to develop new Linux versions yourself, you have to live with the available options.

Hello Chandler

Thank you for your precious information. Unfortunately, I m not a developer at that level. I'm a physiologist and author, and Matlab developement is a field where I'm feeling home. I miss a wearable Linux device, and I found your instruction excellent. But the only help I can give you is to build up a community around these devices. Is it ok. for you to publish your expertise? Maybe someone else can take over.

I'm interested on the long term in these devices. But my interest stands and falls with a working wifi and Bluetooth connection. Do you have a recommendation for a AsteroidOS with working WIFI and Bluetooth?
