Could you elaborate on "none of the sms apps will show contacts"?

Maybe this helps:

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/7681

or https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/1531

"Solution is to first make sure no orphaned account entry exists in accounts_ce.db and to then move the app to internal storage."
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Spoogemonkey:
In all sms apps, when a new text is created, previous behavior (non LineageOS) was for all contacts to show up and I could select by searching. Now, no contacts are available, with the exception of Signal which only shows contacts from bona fide Signal users on my contact list.

I was thinking this might be a function of where the contacts are actually saved, so although it appears that all of my contacts are in the cloud (not saved on the device and regardless of the contact app), when a new contact is added as a "device contact", that contact doesn't show up on Signal or any other sms app.

Attached is what I see in Handcent. No contacts.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Spoogemonkey:
^ I wanted to get MicroG anyway, so went ahead and wiped the phone and started over using LineageOS with MicroG 18.1. I haven't yet installed any additional sms or contact apps. Going to wait until I can come up with ideas on ways of sorting this contacts-sms nexus issue.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jsomby:
I had same? issue for not having contacts at all in the beginning. I had to flash mindthegapps package and reset phone once so I would start using the phone on google way, not lineage.

There was no contact syncing under google account without me doing that. Then again, my contacts ARE under google account.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Spoogemonkey:
My contacts are in a csv file, available for importing into any contacts app.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Spoogemonkey:
Welp... half way there.

After reformatting and installing LineageOS w/MicroG 18.1, I went ahead and installed Google Contacts (local use only). What's weird is google contacts won't permit the ability to import a csv file, only a vcf, yet google only permits export of csv. A real head scratcher that one. Anyway, I used Contacts Plus to convert it to vcf, then imported into local google contacts. My sms apps now display all contacts, except Signal which still only displays Signal users. So yeah, Signal is still broke.

EDIT:

After trying to get Signal to cooperate by making it my default sms app, it still wouldn't import/display non-signal user's contacts. Even worse, doing this made all of the contact apps actually delete all contacts that weren't in Signal's contacts. Some really bad behavior out of Signal.

To fix this I had to delete Signal and then re-import my vcf file into Google contacts.

Had the same issue re netflix, had to reflash stock using msmDownloadTool, then reflash lineageos

then of course the safety net patches

Another peculiar thing since installing LineageOS is the permissions page. It's showing all permissions stuck in loading. I've tried rebooting but no luck.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jsomby:
New issue with latest build. Sometimes last used application shows up for a brief moment when i unlock the phone. When that happens, you don't get rid of it until you close the app from recently used (multitask view). Even if you launch other application -> lock phone -> unlock the previously shown app will be visible again for a moment. Short video of this happening: ***********************

It does this maybe twice per day or so, can't recall if i had this issue on first build.

EDIT: I do have Nova Launcher installed, forgot to test if i switch it to original launcher.

EDIT2: Video removed for privacy reasons, issue resolved as seen below.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LuK1337:
That only happens with third party launcher and it's definitely not a *new* issue. You can repro it very easily with system dialogs in apps but it's probably AOSP issue anyway.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jsomby:
Thank you! Going to switch back to default launcher.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GolfislikeLife:
Any help from Luk or whoever already installed this rom successfully would be helpful. Have been at it for hours and can't even load the recovery on my 8 pro to get started. Have read all the instructions and renamed as it says to do the file slightly different than what is posted and still get error messages like cannot load recovery. Also, can someone put together a noob guide to help me load the rom for the instructions after the recovery step seem complicated in that when I extracted all the files I only have like 4 files and seem to be missing all the rest that you are supposed to flash to the phone. Any help you would be my hero. Thanks, Kevin.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] williamshockley:
@LuK1337 will this rom work with OnePlus 8 pro Indian variant? Also can you make a youtube video of this rom on OP

Also is it possible to use this Rom without gapps? I use protonmail and proton drive/dropbox, openmaps, fdroid, newpipe primarily
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Demati:
@williamshockley I use this ROM without gapps. It works just fine. It's been my daily driver for a month now.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] williamshockley:
@Demati do you receive push notifications without gapps?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Demati:
It depends on the app. I get notifications from Signal and anything else on F-Droid but not from most apps built for the play store. Push notifications don't work with Protonmail but the app itself works fine.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jsomby:
There is no google apps in any of LOS, you need to install them manually if you want them. You can use your phone just fine without google integration.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Spoogemonkey:
After installing LineageOS with MicroG, and then the Aurora Store app, the Aurora Store listed a Google Play Services update available. But Google Play Services isn't installed...

Will installing this update actually install Google Services? Is this a bug?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] williamshockley:
Also do you get the side edge swipe to back functionality in this rom. I want to hide the navigation buttons
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jsomby:

Whoever want to help me from my long post at the end of the last page would be greatly appreciated?

Thanks, Kevin
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LuK1337:
Follow wiki instead of some outdated XDA posts.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GolfislikeLife:
@luke1337,

With all due respect the only instructions I am following verbatim are yours and I am still failing to get the recovery on my phone. Thanks, Kevin
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LuK1337:
Then explain what you did, what firmware were you on etc.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GolfislikeLife:
Luk, I am updating from the latest OnePlus stock rom as the instructions say to due. 11.0.5.5. The exact error message I am getting after it says sending boot Okay is remote failed no such partition partition b. Also, I did have your rom on 17.1 before with android 10 and after extracting the files with winrar I am not seeing what I need to make this work? Before I had like 15-20 files and now other than payload bin I have 3 others none of which are in the instructions to upgrade. Thx in advance for your help. Kevin
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LuK1337:
Consider posting full command + output instead. Also, what upgrade instructions are you referring to...?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GolfislikeLife:
The full cmd I am doing is in the los wiki instructions fastboot flash recovery_recovery.img and the result is what I shared with you before. As for the instructions I am following they are in the wiki also. The official guide for upgrading the OnePlus 8 Pro. Hope this helps, Kevin
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LuK1337:
Meh I give up. I don't feel like guessing based on limited info. Let me know once you're able to actually copy your cmd scrollback so that I can see what you actually did because I can clearly tell you that wiki does not tell you to do "fastboot flash recovery_recovery.img" anywhere.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GolfislikeLife:
I am sorry that you feel I am not giving you enough info to help me and might be following the wrong device model? I can assure you I am. 5. In the instructions wiki it says to flash recovery-recovery.img to your phone before proceeding and that is what I am trying to do. If you don't want to help me this is fine but please give me the exact cmd to get recovery on my device for the 8 pro though I am pretty sure I am already. Thx, Kevin
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LuK1337:

[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GolfislikeLife:
Hey Luk that worked first try and your right I was making/overthinking it more difficult than it needed to be. Now the hard part of flashing the rom to my phone. Like I said before when I extracted the nightly rom it only has 4 files in it and none are boot img rom img dtbo etc? How do I make this work without all those files? Last time I bother you. Thx again, Kevin
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LuK1337:

[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GolfislikeLife:
At@luk1337, I know your intentions are good and thanks for helping me figure out and solve the recovery part of this. However, your starting to bother me a little as I am not even reading xda posts and am and have always been on the install instructions wiki page of instantnoodlep. My question is very simple how to now flash the rom when I seem to be missing the files needed to successfully do this??? I can't be more clear than stated. Thx, Kevin. P.S. This will be my last message today.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LuK1337:
Please just follow this page — https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/instantnoodlep/install

There's not a single line there that tells you to flash boot, dtbo, etc manually.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GolfislikeLife:

I'm giving my phone to a family member and need to restore stock. I tried flashing the stock ROM in LineageOS recovery and flashing the fastboot stock ROM in fastboot...neither worked.

My question is just that, how do I restore the stock ROM?

Thanks!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GolfislikeLife:
Sorry that you weren't successful at flashing this rom for I needed some help in doing it myself. Happy to help you go back to stock. Search on the 8 pro forums for the msm download tool and follow the steps to flash it to android 11 I assume you are on. You need to also know your model number for their are three devices europe, india, and global like for the usa. If you have problems I can help you more.

I had to restore a 7 pro and relock bootloader to give to my wife. I just downloaded the official rom from one plus, extract contents with payload dumper and flashed stock images back to phone and locked the bootloader. Wife is happy with her new/used phone. There is probably an easier way but this worked for me.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] DarthVesh:
Indeed..I tried that as well but I got errors for unable to flash to locked partition or some weird errors like that

Is it possible to flash this Rom without gapps? But use microg for Google services ?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] natanaelo:
I have had lineageos with microg before, but for oneplus 3 and don't update microg from aurora store. Just use f-droid if added or direct from https://microg.org (the offical site) and then services core and install. I don't remember if the one from aurora store overwrite microg or if both stopped working. The one from aurora store is the google services from Google. Just blacklist google services from aurora store to not make the misstake of "updating".
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] natanaelo:
It already exist preinstalled on https://download.lineage.microg.org/instantnoodlep/ so no need to flash microg later. It is the latest version from here but with microg and signature spoofing enabled.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LuK1337:
You shouldn't follow youtube tutorials. That one, in particular, is like 2 installation guide revisions behind lmao.

( also for some reason they really like rebooting for no reason? )
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Spoogemonkey:
Yep, I thought it was a mistake to update Google Play Services. But there's no way to blacklist it in Aurora, only a way to blacklist all google products. But I run their maps.

And there are other nag screens as well, such as a constant system request to update services every time I run Google maps. Annoying.

Still haven't figured out why the permissions page is stuck in a perpetual loading loop. Also, the location icon pops up every minute, so it's needlessly polling. It must be microg because nothing else has permissions that's actually running, and microg services core is always shown as having made a recent location request.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] williamshockley:
same question
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] williamshockley:
thankyou. I think I'll read these 25 pages on this thread for all my doubts before rooting and installing Lineage OS. I'll ask if anything is missing that has already not been answered
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LuK1337:
Or just read the official installation guide.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] williamshockley:
yaa I'm reading that. I have two questions :-

1) LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway :- can you explain this more. What hardware part is being open sourced? And what does it mean for power users vs Oxygen OS users?

2) Why lineage have it's own custom recovery? Why not TWRP or CWM?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LuK1337:
1) Pretty much every hardware feature depends on closed source code. Sorry but don't expect me reverse engineering stock ROM blobs.

2) Because it's easier to maintain something simple enough to do the bare minimum and nothing more without depending on external projects. I'd very much hope to not maintain yet another TWRP port especially because I don't really need or want to use it. CWM is dead FYI, it hasn't been a thing since CyanogenMod 11 or so.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Spoogemonkey:
^ This. And with Magisk, TWRP is pretty much dead too, right? I've never needed it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jsomby:
Installed latest version that came yesterday and I lost safetynet, it does not pass anymore. I ran props on root terminal and chose correct device and it still fails.

Has anyone else managed to keep or restore safetynet to pass condition?

Or so I need to flash that modified boot image once again?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] williamshockley:
Are you using Gapps with Lineage?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] magicmckinney:
Yes, NikiGapps works with 18.1 Lineage. Open Gapps is not up to Android 11 yet. Ther are 5 versions of it here https://sourceforge.net/projects/nikgapps/files/Releases/NikGapps-R/30-Jan-2021/.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] magicmckinney:
TWRP is not dead yet. There are people working on it for Android 11 currently.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Spoogemonkey:
^ Is there some advantage over Magisk? Magisk is so easy to use and works so flawlessly.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] williamshockley:
@LuK1337 one last question before I proceed to flash. Does this rom support IN2021 oneplus pro model?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LuK1337:
If it's unlockable.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] williamshockley:

[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] williamshockley:

[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] williamshockley:
ok i'll go with latest version
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] williamshockley:
also do I need to flash this copy-partitions.zip from Lineage recovery? I believe I'm not technical enough to follow this Pre-Installed instructions
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jsomby:
I think it's mindthegapps package.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LuK1337:
Not technical enough to follow 4 easy steps...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] williamshockley:
so after flashing recovery?

Luk the problem is not following the tutorial. The problem is it's not very well written. For instance. It's not told clearly that after flashing recovery, can you boot in Oxygen OS or do what?

It's says Flash recovery. Ok then what?

After flashing do you power of your device and directly boot into recovery with volume down + power ??? Or you can BOOT to oxygen OS and then power off and boot to recovery?

Do you perform adb sideload copy-partitions.zip in recovery? or you can boot to oxygen OS and perform adb sideload

It says ON the Device, select "Apply Update", them "Apply from ADB" to being sideload

Where? In Recovery Mode? Or Download/fastboot Mode?

The documetation is not welcoming for new comers. Maybe next time let me write it. Allow Github users to pull request documentation
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LuK1337:
>It's says Flash recovery. Ok then what?

Then reboot to recovery; past that everything else should make sense.

>Allow Github users to pull request documentation

I don't control that. https://wiki.lineageos.org/contributing_wiki.html
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jsomby:
I agree it's not the most self explanatory but then again, flashing custom ROM to device isn't your average day either. You need to have background information to do these and what to do if something fails.

Also as an answer, if you let oxygenos or any other stock rom on other phones to boot in middle of installation good chances are that it will replace custom recovery with stock one.

Berating neophytes is not a good look.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jsomby:
Take a look at this post: https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-official-instantnoodlep-11-lineageos-18-1.4192827/post-84630617

It should give you more information and more steps (some are unnecessary depending what you want). I myself combined this and lineageos page to make the initial installation. Your results may vary.

ALSO! Big ALSO: Read both installation instructions couple of times through so you fully understand what happens and when and why. This is important so you don't need to focus on instructions 100% when things are moving forward. Don't start unless you have full battery, you know what you are doing and sometimes things fails and you might (soft or hard)brick your device. Have an exit or instructions for that too.

Don't forget to read warnings.
