The 18.1 version is provided of GAPPS or I have to install them separately? If yes, how? And one last question (I swear): I have followed this guide: https://xdaforums.com/t/my-complete-bootloader-unlock-and-root-guide.3881779/ to unlock bootloader and get root permissions. Can i install lineage Os 18.1 quietly? Thank you a lot, and sorry for all the questions

2. reinstall Stock system.img

How to extract from Service ROM
[Huawei P20 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Anonymousxx:
I have read the whole section but they are a bit generic and I'm a begginer so everything seems difficult. If i understand correctly i have 2 different ways:

1) Using the Dload method

2) flash the stock system image

I prefer to use the Dload method beacuse it looks easier, but when I used it before i typed into the dialer the code that starts with *#*# etc..but now obviously (i suppose) does not work. So what is the correct way to use this method?

Thanks for reply :)

[Huawei P20 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TureX:
Hi!

Resize system partition through twrp, but is more simple if you install gsi with gapps included.

Tip: seems 9.1.0.132 the emui 9 version with the higher system partition size so start frome that version
[Huawei P20 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Anonymousxx:
Hi,

I thought I flashed the right version of LOS ( I installed 18.1 bgZ), but after reboot I only had the google play store. So I flashed twrp and tried to flash Gapps that i took on the official site of LOS, but it gave me that error. So i got tired, and now I'm coming back to stock firmware..

If you have play store you have gapps installed, I don't know what you miss

Install twrp in erecovery it's safe??
[Huawei P20 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] millerntorxda:
Yes.

You can go back by flashing stock erecovery , it does not affect safetynet or such.

Off course everytime you flash something you can brick your phone ;-)

Did anyone testet LineageOS 18.1 as their daily driver and can give a review?
[Huawei P20 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] An3skmbi:
I just installed and seems smooth so far. Here is another review from earlier in the thread.
[Huawei P20 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] millerntorxda:
I use it for about a week as daily driver.

I think it's a lot smoother in daily handling than stock ( I use it with nova launcher). After some tweaking every thing I need is working:

I get full safety net with magisk and hide props plugin. I also use systemless host. I do not see netflix in playstore, but I could install the app from apkmirror and start it . I don't have an account, so I can't tell if it really works.

NFC fix is installed and works. To use it with the german ausweisApp I had to install xposed and nfc extended module. My finding was, that enabled xposed kills safetynet status, so it's not active until I need it.

The german bank app dkb tan2go has a very aggressive root detection, it works while magisk is frozen (with titanium).

All other banking apps I tried did work with magisk hide (I don't use garmin pay with my watch, so I did not try google pay)

Switching audio after inserting / releasing wired headsets does work.

Fast charging works (did not try offline charging, I just switch my phone to flight mode if I don't use it)

I just found two minor issues until now:

Bluetooth is sometimes a bit buggy: Headphones disconnect after starting to play audio - but this happens only for 1- 4 times, then the connection is stable. This affects different receiver, so I think it's a problem with the rom / the phone.

Signal meter for mobile radio does not work, but you can use apps/widgets from play store to show signal strength

Hope this helps

I am using it for some weeks now and I can't report nothing wrong.... No bug at all. Also I don't play video games or heavy ram consumption thing. I just use for communication and web research and some geek things like tasker app. For my kind of use it's perfect. (Precision, I don't use gapps)

I have a question, i finally reached to install nfc patch, but I am wondering, if I update the rom, (flash system with update and wipe cache and dalvik), will the nfc remain or I have to flash the patch again?
[Huawei P20 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TureX:
Hi!

If you dirty flash(if you don't make factory reset from stock recovery) should remain.

Best regards
[Huawei P20 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] -Alf-:
NFC patch modifies only vendor partition. You can update lineage, switch from lineage to caos, do a factory reset etc. - the nfc will remain.

Hi!

Can someone tell me if zram is active on lineage is 18.1? Check with disk info app.

Thanks
[Huawei P20 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] -Alf-:
Nope.

Btw, for devices with too little RAM (e.g. 512MB) so it makes perfect sense. But we have 4GB , it makes no sense to use ,for example, 300MB of Z-RAM (aka Swap) with 2GB RAM free. Even if it's enable, will not be active, IMO. But I'm not an expert, only 'vox populi' :p

Yes , on Android too, of course I'm not an expert but zram in my opinion is bettter if is enabled
[Huawei P20 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] -Alf-:
The encoding and decoding using CPU time, which in turn has higher power consumption.

In most cases, the system slows down.
[Huawei P20 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TureX:
System slow down if go out of ram too(or can crash or can close some apps) and CPU usage is not high compared to benefit of zram (in my opinion, I have not notice high CPU usage compared to stock emui that has zram).

Could be interesting a comparation between enabled and not enabled.

Edit : zram seems working

a = a-only (EMUI 8)

g = gapps

o = gapps-go

v = vanilla (no built-in gapps)

f = floss (free & open source applications instead of gapps)

N = no phh-superuser and su (no root)

S = integrated su, sometimes with phh-superuser

Z = extended dynamic root, su plus phh-superuser (you can enable / disable root)

Hi all,

I just recently realized that Facer is now supporting Gear S3 watches with the help of a companion app which has to be installed on the watch, so naturally I decided to give it a try as there are more than a handful of their watch faces (free & paid) that I love to have.

While I can easily download the Facer Android app on my phone, I seem to be in one of them regions where Samsung is oblivious to making the Facer companion app available currently.

So naturally I was thinking if there is a manual method to get the companion app from a source other than the galaxy store and to manually side load it on to my watch, effectively countering the regional restrictions?

Cheers.
