Hi, I've been using the ROM for about 2 weeks and everything is fine except I am having some issues with GPS across different APPs. For Google Maps it kinda works but it takes quite some time to find my location. For other APPs like OsmAnd and Strava it does not find any location. I checked with an app called "GPS status" there everything seems fine and it shows me valid GPS data after a few seconds.

Does anyone have a clue what is going on? I did check app permissions these seem fine.

I am using the latest build from 30/09/2021 with OpenGapps Nano 29/09/2021.

Thanks

hi so after use it for 2 weeks and absolutely love it with amazing battery life I got same problem that make my phone hot and battery drain. and I finally can find the culprit that is I browse porn and in some website got infected by some malware. I know this because this is the only thing I do in the morning. even tho I only click play button then something pop up and suddenly close it without press any download button or download notification this thing also happen.

I want to reinstall this again, so I need to go to lineage recovery mode and just factory reset data right?

4a LineageOS 18.1 Update 2021-10-14 - Security Bump

Using the built-in Updater, I OTA-updated Pixel 4a (Google Ed) LineageOS 18.1 sunfish build 2021-09-16 + lineage-18.1-20210916-recovery-sunfish to build 2021-10-14. I have no GApps, no custom-kernel, and Magisk is not installed. Everything went smoothly. However, the "Vendor patch level" appears to still be September.

There are a bunch of changes as you can see here: https://download.lineageos.org/sunfish/changes/

After the reboot, I went to Settings->About phone->"Android version". The "Android security update" now shows "October 1, 2021".

The Vendor security patch level just below it is still "September 5, 2021".

The Build number at the bottom changed from "RQ3A.210905.001" to "RQ3A.211001.001".

See Android Security Bulletin - October 2021 for details about the security fixes.

Notice it talks about patch levels of "2021-10-05 or later". This LineageOS release appears to not include that. Maybe it will be next week?

I rebooted to recovery to verify that it was also updated. It now shows version "20211014" and active slot 'a'.

Thank you to the Lineage Team, PeterCxy & cdesai for their work.

So apparently it was a problem with my gapps installation. I did not reboot after installing the ROM and installed the gapps right away. Which let to some corruption.

This post helped to fix the major issues otherwise a clean install would also do the trick.

I have a problem with VoWifi. It receives calls properly, but can't make outgoing calls.

It worked great with stock ROM.

I seem to have solved it, or changed it to another problem. Turning off VOLTE made it possible to call out also with VoWifi. Someone else than me probably understands why. I think it's an issue that this wasn't indicated anywhere in settings or error messages. I don't know yet it there are other problems.

Use the latest Open GApps "nano".

OK, on my older devices I would use TWRP to format /system and reinstall LOS/GApps/Magisk. What with this device? :unsure:
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] vint2007:
I would do the same. Strictly according to the official LOS instructions:

Install LineageOS on sunfish | LineageOS Wiki

wiki.lineageos.org

Just don't install magisk at the same time as gapps. Start the system first and check esim.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rogers11:
Hello, the problem wasn't related to the GApps but to the SIM-Manager (v D2.0....). I could fix it by deleting its updates (an using the version that comes with MindTheGapps). The latest Beta from APKmirror also works as expected.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] vint2007:
Yes, this is a sim manager. Now I removed the update and esim was activated. I have use mindthegapps.

That is why the esim setting is activated after a new installation of the gapps package - the sim manager simply does not have time to update)

Hi @PeterCxy.

I've compiled lineageos 18.1 up to the latest commit 318535: TvSettings: use dark color for Wifi SUW (at the time of writing this) as you can see here: https://download.lineageos.org/sunfish/changes/.

No custom modification, no google apps. Plain repo sync and compile.

Unfortunately patching and flashing boot.img with Magisk 23.0 (or latest canary version 23014) result in a bootloop.

Is this a known issue in the LOS community?

On the other hand, I've tried manually checking out all the commits since the latest nightly lineage-18.1-20211104-nightly with a very simple script, but compilation of ninja crashed complaining of a missing dependecy. Do you have experience on rollback willing to kindly share?

Hi @All,

could anyone please do me a huge favor?

I would need the stock boot.img (please see attachment, extraced from lineage-18.1-20211104-nightly-sunfish-signed.zip) patched with the latest magisk canry (23014).

I would do it by myself, but unfortunately I'm unable to do so at the moment.

Hey everyone, I finally flashed this beauty of a ROM to my 4a and it reminds me of the good old days. Everything seems to be working well and performing better than stock, however I am having one compromising issue. I use strictly eSIM (no physical SIM card at all) with a data-only plan, and I cannot seem to get any data connectivity with LOS. It was working on stock Android 12, but not after flashing to this ROM.

It sometimes can see available mobile networks, and the phone will sometimes connect to them, but I still have no mobile data of any kind.

I am using the latest ROM (18.1-20211202-nightly) as well as latest Nik-GAPPS core (NikGapps-core-arm64-11-20210130-signed).

Any help would be very much appreciated as I am now currently only able to have any use of my phone while on WiFi.

Thank you all!

How satisfied are you with camera performance?

Is the quality of pictures comparable to stock rom? Especially in darker environments?
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wireroot:
I did not test the LineageOS camera but I can tell you from my experience with other cameras.

Mainly I am using one of the Google Camera Mods namely the Camera PX (which is no longer maintained) without GApps but with the Gcam Services Provider instead and I'm satisfied with it.

In cases when I want to take some bracketing shots for building a better HDR on my PC later on, I can recommend the OpenCamera app.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mangokm40:
Which version of PX are you using? I'd like to try it.

Although, OpenCamera has been enough for me on all phones. :)
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] topaza:
From my experience on other phones OpenCamera is okay in bright environments. When it gets darker the pictures get noisy. How are Pixel Photos with OC in low light conditions?

I've attached an image. It's indoors with low light. I hope it's useful.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wireroot:
PXv8.1_GCam-v1.2

That is where the GCam shines and OpenCamera is inferior.

I would suggest to continue camera discussions in a dedicated thread, i.e. for the Camera PX here.

Lost access to visual voicemail

LOS18.1 0317

No GApps

No Magisk

I updated this weekend from the LOS 0217 build to the LOS 0317 build.

When I go to the voicemail tab of the phone app, I'm getting a message "can't activate visual voicemail".

Since it just started happening, I was wondering if anyone else who updated got this error.

Thanks.

Just noticed some changes on last build that relate to dialer/voicemail:

Remove PhoneAccountHandle when building the intent to call Voicemail. android_packages_apps_Dialer

Add a permission to guard receiving intents in StatusSmsFetcher. android_packages_apps_Dialer

Use an explicit intent to start VoicemailChangePinActivityPeer. android_packages_apps_Dialer

I created an issue at GitLab:
