thank you so much, so i just have to rename magisk.apk to magisk.zip and apply update adb sidload magisk.zip ? is that right.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dzwietering:
Yes, correct.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Navedsid:
It worked thank you again.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] 761gg1i3219:
Hi everyone, I'm currently planning to buy a phone in this price range with official LOS support.

By far the best choices seem to be OnePlus Nord and Motorola Moto Edge, they have very similar specs, so I wanted to ask you guys how is LOS on Nord?

Is there anything I should know before buying? Like I don't know that this phone is difficult to maintain and the maintainers are planning to drop it soon or something else? Or common hardware problems?.

How is your experience with this phone?

Thank you all in advance for your responses.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] eNVy:
There doesn't seem to be any further work being done on this device from LOS perspective. The maintainer of this ROM is currently maintaining the Official PE for A11.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pugoless:
waiting for android 11 or los 18.1
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
Sadly that seems to be the case: no changes by the maintainer since Jan 27. It's on auto-build or something, since weekly updates do come along with generic updates applied. I don't know how long is that able go on before the device is dropped from the official roster. Maybe another developer will pick it up, if the current maintainer has lost interest in this ROM.

Again, no complaints - it's volunteer work and i'm grateful for it all anyway.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] KakatkarAkshay:
I haven't lost interest, I'm busy irl and don't have time to work on Nord right now.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
Thanks for the update!
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] arminnnq:
To those who currently have the LOS installed on your Nords: how is the latest build, is it stable enough? Does the fingerprint scanner work properly after sunset? I know that there's a Pixel Experience ROM out there with Android 11 support, but I'm more Lineage type of guy, even if it is 10 instead of 11, when it comes to Android versions :P
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
I haven't experienced deal breaker issues like crashing. The only two apparent bugs i've encountered are the reversed charging text (using the official charger the phone displays "charging slowly" but it is actually charging fast), and the missing ability to shoot 4K video even with GCam. I personally prefer to record 1080p@60 instead, but if capturing 4K on your Nord is important, you might want to stick with the stock ROM for the moment.

Fingerprint sensor works for me most of the time, but i had to disable ambient light (?) in settings because the sensor wasn't picking up my prints properly in the dark with it enabled. Also, in very bright sunlight i sometimes have to shade the phone in order to use the sensor. I have no idea if that's just because it's embedded in the glass, but i didn't have that issue with the ceramic sensor in Oneplus 3T/5T.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] arminnnq:
Thank you so much for your answer. I've decided to install the ROM, it works as smoothly as expected. I don't care all that much about 4k recording since I hardly ever record anything anyway. The problem with the fingerprint scanner persists however, even if I disable the "Ambient display" option. It works just fine when I disable the "Night Light" option. I'm going to stick to this ROM anyway, hoping this issue will be fixed in the future.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
You're right, it's night light, and not ambient display. I didn't have my phone at hand and forgot. I guess the screen doesn't get bright enough for the sensor to pick up the fingerprint with night light active.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] arminnnq:
One more thing I'm pretty sure was probably mentioned here already, but I'm lazy enough not to search through the previous pages - there is no option to change the framerate. That's too bad, I used to have it locked at 60hz, so I was able to get through the day and a half with no problem on OxygenOS. It's much, much worse on LOS, because it mostly stays at 90 in my case. I was looking for a solution, but haven't found any for now. Any ideas? Is this a kernel thing or do I need to expect this feature to be implemented in the more recent LOS versions?
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
I don't think there is a way to lock it natively, but i don't know about 3rd party solutions like Magisk. No experience with that. I can get over 8 hours of screen-on-time (6-7 on average) with my Nord & this ROM. I haven't flashed gapps/microg/anything else, i mostly use Signal/Newpipe/Slide and the battery life is just amazing compared to what i got with the 5T.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] blackadder1000:
Some have found that with 'ambient display' switched on they get a fixed framerate of 90Hz. With it switched off they get a fixed framerate of 60Hz.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] arminnnq:
Thank you so much! Now it works like charm with an excellent battery life, about as good as on OOS, perhaps even better since I don't use gapps anymore.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] retos:
Hi everyone,

such a great ROM, really enjoy it. Thank you KakatkarAkshay for providing it.

The only small bug I saw was that date/time and brightness don't survive a reboot, but that's nothing compared to the functionality gained, and the battery life is just ridiculously good.

Two questions:

- When you update the ROM, you have to re-flash the Magisk-apk/zip via sideload every time after the LOS-update it seems?

Without it, root access is lost – or did I miss any other way to make Magisk persistent for this ROM?

It's not a big issue, but I feel uncomfortable to manually flash anything without applying the -copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip- beforehand, as per the wiki there is apparently a risk of bricking because of the A/B-partitions – though I'm not sure if I interpreted that correctly.

- While the ROM is up-to date, the Recovery is not. Are you guys aware of a way to apply the latest recovery without resetting everything? Surprisingly I didn't really find anything on this topic, but I can't be the only one wondering about this.

Anyway, man I really missed to have some control over Android, even a heavily adb-debloated stock just doesn't compare at all.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flocke000:
After the update is installed don't reboot, instead go to Magisk Manager and click on "Install Magisk" then choose "Install to inactive slot (after OTA)" and confirm. Once it is installed just reboot.

That way you will have Magisk back after the update directly.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] retos:
Thank you – that's neat and exactly what I was looking for.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] krakard:
Hey guys,

does the camera with lineage still suck ? Is there no solution ? I think I will switch back to Oxygen OS since the camera on Lineage is really terrible compared to the Oneplus cam on Oxygen
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
The stock camera is quite poor, but GCam works fine and i'm very happy with the picture quality i get with it. This ROM doesn't currently allow recording in 4K with either stock camera or GCam, so you'll need OpenCamera for that at the moment. I haven't tried others so i can't say if it's a general custom ROM issue, or just this one.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] krakard:
Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into going back to Oxygen OS unfortunately as I can't be bothered to have a lower quality cam in any shape or form.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] g0nfi:
Is anyone having problems updating the ROM through the OTA Updater?

After downloading I need to confirm installing the update and instantly a "Install Error"-Notification pops up.

The log says:

Spoiler content hidden.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] noway0:
I installed this Rom and used it for a while and found these issues:

Calls:

- not able to receive any calls whatsoever (Europe), 3g and 4g

- also not receiving any messages that someone tried to call me

-> otherwise sms works (as far as I can tell)

- when in LTE only mode not able to call out, instantly ends call after dialing no matter how good the signal is

-> calls going out work when the 3g network is enabled too

USB-Tethering:

- randomly doesn't work, sometimes it does, more often it does not and one has to restart everytime to try again, as when it doesn't work changing to airplane mode and back or disable and re-enable tethering does absolutely nothing.

Other:

- clock completely resets itself every reboot

- why is there google bloat included ("ok google enrollment")? Ins't LineageOS supposed to be free of bloat, especially of the privacy invading kind? From the initial post: "It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed."

- camera is pretty weak compared to stock

I appreciate the effort from the developer, I really do, yet I begin to get why these Roms are nowadays called "nightly".

With official status I hoped for basic functionality, quite frustrating to waste time to no end to find it is the Rom itself.

Would be good to update the issues list in the first post, so everyone knows what they get beforehand.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] KakatkarAkshay:
Calls: all those issues have something to do with the way you installed it or idk because it works just fine for me.

Usb tethering; same as calls.

Clock: same as above.

Ok google enrollment: it's required else in some cases audio randomly stops working because of soundtrigger, it's just to support it in case user flashes gapps and wants to use it. It's not enabled by default

Camera: there's nothing I can do about that
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] noway0:
Thanks for your quick and helpful reply.

It's good to hear it's supposed to work and the error has to be on my side, yet I followed the instructions on the wiki closely and get those issues, so I'm puzzled. The device itself is definitely a supported model number.

I will start from scratch and see if something changes, but at least the clock/date I know for sure resets at every reboot right from the beginning, though that alone is not that much of a problem.

The calling stuff is quite weird but I now noticed especially the LTE only mode is apparently prone for things like this in LineageOS, there are a lot of reports of others with all kinds of devices with the same problem. Maybe it has something to do with gsm vs cmda based networks or voice-over-LTE?

Regarding google: I see, this makes sense and I appreciate the explanation.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Doc Sniper:
@noway0 Calls via VoLTE and VoWiFi work flawlessly, no problems here with LOS on an EU model.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] noway0:
and @KakatkarAkshay :

After starting from scratch and way too much testing all call related issues are gone, you were both completely right with that.

There were 2 causes apparently:

When only using LTE as Network type, calls don't come in when one doesn't also allow the option -4G Calling-, which seems quite obvious in hindsight, though that appears to be the switch for VoLTE.

The other was the app Invizible Pro in root mode, that also breaks incoming calls completely but I could not figure out why exactly, the alternative rootless vpn mode however doesn't.

What persisted were rather small issues:

usb-tethering: ca. 1 out 5 times (20 test runs that were very similar) it does randomly not work (tethering hardware acceleration is enabled and seems to help). Which makes it hard to debug as it is so inconsistent. When it failed: "ip a" on the pc shows the device is connected and recognized but has no local ip and no connection comes through, so apparently dhcp failed for some reason. I then connected another android with stock and tried usb-tethering again to make sure it's not a random failure of debian or the dns-server on the pc-side, but then it worked, so it really appears to be the avicii (It were only resolved through rebooting the device). After each test I rebooted both the phone and the pc. But all in all not that big of an issue.

the clock and date still reset after reboot to what appears to be the built-time of the rom, this was immediately the case without any system changes other than enabling airplane mode. It might not be too noticeable because the default setting is to get the time from the network

the brightness settings appear to also revert back after each reboot

But these I can live with and I was wrong to state that basic functionality were not given.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Doc Sniper:
As @KakatkarAkshay wrote, these seem to be problems that are specific to you. For me, both the time and the brightness "survive" a reboot without problems. I don't know about USB-tethering, I haven't used it yet.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] noway0:
Well I checked the integrity of the downloads and I followed the wiki/the instructions on page 1 to the dot mutliple times by now, I simply see no further room for any error on my side for the time- and the brightness-issue – if these instructions are correct, and the hardware works, which I assume.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] krakard:
Do you guys know a custom ROM that'd be better than Lineage for the Nord ?

I was satisfied but the camera app was really garbage...

I want to go degoogled but I am afraid that Nord is too new and that'd I'd be better off selling it and buying Pixel and go Graphene OS.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Doc Sniper:
Please do not misunderstand, that was not meant as an accusation.

You have certainly done everything right. I also read through the wiki first.

Nevertheless, it should be noted that there is no problem with time and brightness on my two Nords.

I have roughly installed the following: LOS 17.1 + Magisk + microG
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Doc Sniper:
Before you change the ROM, try GCam first.

I like OpenCamera much more than GCam, but the image quality is much better with GCam on the Nord.

Link: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/p/google-camera-oneplus-nord/
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] noway0:
That's interesting, I don't use microG, just Los 17.1 and Magisk. It doesn't seem all that likely, but maybe that has something to do with the date and brightness not being saved in some cases.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] noway0:
In case someone else has apparently random problems with USB-tethering:

If you are using PrivateDNS you could try other DNS-Servers (one with ad- and malware blocking already included makes particular sense), as some of them are sometimes apparently failing and preventing the phone from sharing the internet connection.

The weird thing is that the phones network still works, but the tethering silently fails, which makes the issue hard to detect. But the problem goes away when changing the privateDNS-Server.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Doc Sniper:
I don't think it's because of microG. The time and the brightness are settings of the base system. MircoG provides some Google services and location services, so this will not be the decisive difference. However, it's very strange what's going on with your Nord.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Ornadyx:

The first post says

Last Updated 2020-11-03

I this ROM updated with the latest security patches or is it completely abandoned?
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
That's just the original post modification date. This ROM receives weekly updates, built automatically with generic changes to the LineageOS 17.1 branch. This includes monthly security patches. Nothing Nord-specific is being done right now, though.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mythos_:
I'm pretty happy with OOs 10 but unfortunately since Oneplus moved to 11 it's not receiving security updates any more. 11 seems to be a mess (on other devices too so it might actually be a problem with the OS itself) so I'd rather stay on 10 with something that has updates. I've used LOS in the past so I'll probably switch to this at some point.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] zerox613:
Hi, I have been running the microG version of this ROM for a while now and I'm very happy with it so far.

I'd like to install the automatic updates through the system menu but I don't want to risk screwing up anything.

The phone is not rooted, just installed Lineage (microG version) and the bootloader is still unlocked. is it OK to install the updates or should something be done before?

i use two gapps though maps n Gpay ..both dont work from aurora store. any solution for this?
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] zerox613:
As far as I know it's not possible to get Gpay to work with microG. I don't want to use google maps because of the tracking, so I use Osmand+ instead from F-droid. I'm very impressed by how well Osmand+ works. The version in F-droid is the full version too.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] 5fusion:
Well i can get away with Gpay alternative but Gmaps and osmand both are not locking on to location. So navigation seems to not work for me. Turned on all the modules in microg for location. Any fix?
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] zerox613:
for me I have not had issues with osmand, but it only works outside were it can get GPS signal. it gets nothing from wifi indoors.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] uhuhuh:
no problem at all, i use the same
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] 5fusion:

[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] IvanPetrowitch:
Hello everybody,

I just wanted to give a feedback about this ROM after a month of intensive use, as a new Custom ROM n00b.

FIrst of all, thank you for your great work, this ROM enables me to go more or less Big-Tech free. I installed it without problems via Lineage Recovery.

Most of the Nord's functionalty ist working flawless, exept some minor inconviniences:

Camera: OpenCamera works with both the standard and the ultrawide, however the pixel binning can not be disabled as in the vendor app, so always 12MP. Cycling through the available lens modes leads to a crash at the Lens with ID 6 (In the app, the ID 0 (main),2(ultrawide),3(blurry picture), 4(error), 6 (green or crash) and 7 (same fov as main camera) are available).

Screen mirroring is not working with a Samsung Series 6 Smart TV (see also Post #220 of this thread). Upon clicking on the Icon, devices are searched, but never found. Going into settings from there, the devices are found, but the Wfd Service crashes if one tries to connect to the TV.

As reported many times, the Fingerprint sensor does work poorly in bright light or with the night mode (yellowish tint) display activated. My guess is that in these cases the contrast for the optical sensor is too low to recognize the print.

Other most likely not Custom ROM related issues:

Fennec browser hard crashes sometimes during random browsing sessions

In Dual Sim mode (where I want to choose the used card before calling) using the car handsfree bluetooth connection, the dialog also shows up, so I set a card as standard (which is annoying because I want to use the other card for calls sometimes)

In summery, I use this ROM productively for over month now and it delivers a great performance and experience. Battery life is great lasting about two days of normal use. Many thanks @KakatkarAkshay, hopefully this ROM or an Android 11 version of it will be maintained further, as the Nord is a great and fast all-purpose phone IMHO.

(Tested and working apps: OpenCamera, Fennec, F-Droid, Aurora, NewPipe, Amazon PrimeVideo, Netflix, Signal, Threema, Nikon SnapBridge, Jitsi, NextCloud, OsmAnd+, OpenHab, etc., no MicroG installed.)

The 5 july update of the microg version is fine, and the microg version is just small patches on the normal version so i don't think this has to do with the ROM

Mine is the microg version and that started to happen right after the update. Turned battery management off and it seems to help, I was loosing 10% battery per hour on stand by.

Maybe it is something else though.

I have noticed that after the last update my phone has started to use the 90Hz refresh rate, even though it used to be locked at 60 which is more useful to me, since I need a longer SoT. I was able to lock my refresh rate at 60Hz using a method mentioned earlier, about turning the Ambient Display mode off, which for some reason worked. Now, it doesn't matter whether I have it turned on or off, my phone is constantly switching between 60 and 90Hz. Any clue how to solve this problem?

[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
It seems there is a bug with audio normalization(?) in Lineage for the Nord. Recording a video with low background noise results in the background audio being killed off completely, and any louder sounds spike up way too much. This happens with stock cam, Open Camera and GCam, so it's probably OS related. Too bad this ROM seems abandoned, Oneplus released 11 for the Nord a while ago. :(

Could anyone else test this, how does your Nord record audio with video? For example, turn the TV on and record it from a distance. Then say something, and you should hear what i mean. The audio levels in my previous 5T were fairly even, not "wavy" like this.
[OnePlus Nord ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] arminnnq:
I've tested it myself and everything works completely fine, and I'm using Open Camera with the latest LineageOS update. I've been recording stuff a few times in the past and I've never encountered any such problems.
