missing: data roaming

Hi again! I have been in Austria for a few days and was left with no data roaming. this has been mentioned earlier in this thread, I just wanted to inform you that it is still not working - at least for me with the following predispositions:

Asus Zenfone 8, 256 GB, 8 GB

LineageOS 18.1, build 20220218-recovery-sake

vodafone callya

APN: web.vodafone.de

I called vodafone to check settings. They told me, they had no attempts from my SIM-Card to log into the Vodafone Mobile Data Net. Calls and SMS no prob, only data roaming does not work.

Obviously, the phone does not even attempt to login to the net.

Same for the second SIM Card, a prepaid data card (ALDImobile).

Do you experience the same issues? What have you tried so far? Has anyone gotten data roaming to work?

Since I am on the road quite a few times and I live near the border, getting data roaming to work would be a huge relief.

thanks all!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Sarum4n:
My phone works with Vodafone data, although I haven't crossed the Dutch border just yet (will do so in 3 weeks, though). To get my phone working, I had to manually configure the APN, using the settings Vodafone provided on their Dutch website. On their German website, I find https://www.vodafone.de/hilfe/google/pixel-6.html which says APN should have:

Name: <well you can choose any name, obviously>

APN: web.vodafone.de

Proxy: Nicht definiert

Port: Nicht definiert

Nutzername: Nicht definiert

Passwort: Nicht definiert

Server: Nicht definiert

MMSC: Nicht definiert

MMS-Proxy: Nicht definiert

MMS-Port: Nicht definiert

MCC: 262

MNC: 02

Authentifizierungstyp: Nicht definiert

APN-Typ: default

APN-Protokoll: IPv4/IPv6

APN-Roaming-Protokoll: IPv4/IPv6

Träger: Keine Angaben

MVNO-Typ: Keiner

MVMO-Wert: Nicht festgelegt

Is this what you have for APN settings? Does Internet work for you in Germany?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Winnie_LD:
Hi @Sarum4n and thank you for your fast response. I used the APN settings provided by Vodafone, so yes, it works for me in Germany but not in other countries.

The APN settings are identically as you listed above with one exception:

For APN-TYP I had "default,supl" in my settings. I changed this now to "default" and at least in Germany where I am now, it is working. I am not sure, if this makes a difference, but I will test next time I am roaming.

Thank you once more, I'll comment on this as soon as I had the opportunity to test it.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] eVen123:
Did you check that your APN settings match with those that your service provider gave you? If you are not sure, go, google "<your provider> APN settings".

Edit: seems my webpage was out if sync with the debate. I assume you already got the answer. Godspeed!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] CircleCode:
After updating to latest lineageos4microg, I can confirm vibration work as expected.

There us still no way to change its intensity, but this is not a big deal.

Other than this, no issue on my side, everything works flawlessly😊

Thanks for the hard work you put in this rom!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Malko007:
So far with Los4Microg, everything is fine.

But

Is there a way to improve the intensity of the vibration?

To improve battery? cause I have to charge it twice a day

To bypass security to use NFC payment like googlepay?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] chrisrevoltes:
Hi, I have the same issue like @Winnie_LD

I am with a German SIM in Italy for a few days. But I have my laptop with me and could provide some logs.

I'm still on the 2022-01-21 build.

Edit: not sure if this has anithing to do with that issue, but Its not possible to manually select an other network provider:
[ASUS ZenFone 8] adam.718:
Why you install LineageOS if then you go and install everything Google has ?

Just stuck with the stock Asus OS.

Just get rid of all the Google sh*t, turn battery saver always on and you will have a full day of use.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] holden69:
Thank you for the development, coming from Xperia models and the modpunk-Los, I'm really happy with a working Lineage on Z8 now.

I have one issue with gestures, swiping up and hold the finger to see recent/open apps does not work for me. Any workaround?

And one wish, don't know if it's possible because it seems to be an AOSP-thing: can the screen unlock straight after entering the last number of the pin without the confirmation button?

Would be great to get the Asus stock camera, Motion Camera crashes after taking a picture, Photon Camera has a completely wrong white balance/color temperature and it takes too long to take a picture. Opencamera is far away from the quality of Asus stock.

GCam_8.1.101_Wichaya_V1.5 with xml is working for me with Gcam Services Provider (basic) from F-Droid, but with a few bugs and crashes.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] NisseGurra:
Love the battery on lineage:
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Satoso:
Can anyone confirm if the bootloader unlock method is as steep as written in the wiki?

Is it a case of the Lineage developers outlining the worst case unlocking procedure or is a google account actually needed just to unlock the phone?

Don't remember the Zenfone 6 unlock being this complicated.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] HyperCriSiS:
I stuck at this step:

Error applying update: 7 (ErrorCode:: kINstallDeviceIOpenError)

Any idea whats the issue?

It really sucks running LOS without TWRP :(
[ASUS ZenFone 8] chrisrevoltes:
At which step does this error occur?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] HyperCriSiS:
When I try to sideload LOS.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] chrisrevoltes:
Okay, then give me a bit more information. Whats your starting point? What TWRP Version, LOS and Stock (if) you have/had?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] HyperCriSiS:
I started with an untouched WW_30.12.112.82 Stock ROM, tried with the 2 newest TWRP versions and Lineage 20220318.

We could provide a bounty via bountysource.com, for somebody making OrangeFox working with LOS.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] minethlos:
I am about a week into running LOS with microG, rooted with Magisk. Really happy so far! Huge thanks to all working on this!

However, losing FM Radio borders on deal-breaker for me. It was a key feature of the Z8 for me and I was using it daily on Stock Rom. I pulled the two ASUS FM Radio apks from stock, but they won't install on LOS. I've also tried a couple of older LOS FM radio apps, same result.

I know it's disabled on the Z8 for Europe already, but has anyone else in North America had any luck getting FM Radio back on LOS?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] MachinaMalo:
I'm delving into building a degoogled phone. After much research settled on an ASUS Zenfone 8. However, it looks like I didn't research well enough; the bootloader unlock tool provided by ASUS insists on calling Google to sign-into an account. Further, their own disclaimer in the Unlock Device Tool states:

Unlock Device Tool needs to use the IMEI of the device. You must consent to share the IMEI with ASUS, or it cannot be unlocked

If this is true, it is very, very unfortunate. Has anyone found a way around this?

I'd wager a good many people turn to lineageOS to be able to walk away from Google. If there is no alternative then perhaps this caveat should be spelt out in big red caps here.

Truly hope I'm in status wrong and people can set me right.

Sincerely
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
I am pretty sure Asus already knows your IMEI, they just send it over there to blacklist your phone from official OTA updates from the settings app. With the phone unlocked, you would need to download the update file manually. But yeah I don't think there is a way to unlock it without this tool.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Androbots:
It just doesn't matter. There's absolutely no point in hiding your IMEI from the company that created your phone lol.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] voison:
Hi!

Is this rom compatible with the 16gb/256gb version of the Fone?

Thx
[ASUS ZenFone 8] HyperCriSiS:
Yep!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] lcts:
Hi,

is there any alternate way to download the sake_vendor_boot.img? androidfilehost keeps finding no mirrors.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
You are right, it gives me an error too. Luckily, I had the file downloaded previously, you should still compare the MD5 hash thats on AndroidFileHost, because you 1: shouldn't trust me and 2: the file could have been corrupted at some point during the process. Just look up how to check the MD5 signature of a file and you will get plenty of results!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] lcts:
Excellent, thank you. (Your md5sum checks out).
[ASUS ZenFone 8] vomad:
Unfortunally NFC payments don't work :( I can pass safetynet (with kldragon fix and props+riru magisk module), add a card but no reaction with ATM or bank terminal at all.... When I return to rooted stock everything's fine.

So maybe it's related to opensource NFC stack?

Anyway thanks for the ROM, it's great and smooth. Gcam 8 with config works as a charm, battery life is great.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Winnie_LD:
Hello everyone,

I had to take a route through the other day, what gave me the opportunity to test roaming there. What shall I say, I had no data roaming in both sim card slots (vodafone and telefonica).

Settings as described above.

Is someone working on this issue?

thanks and kind regards,

winnie_LD
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Satoso:
My brand new stock phone is at Version WW-30.12.112.72, and Version 112.82 is available as the final Android 11 version.

Is it necessary to update the stock ROM before flashing LOS for better driver compatibility?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Mario545:
Is there a way to set display refresh rate to 60 Hz permanently? I saw an option in stock ROM, haven't found it in LOS so far.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
yes, open a command prompt/terminal window, type adb shell and then these two commands

settings put system peak_refresh_rate 60 This sets the maximum refresh rate.

settings put system min_refresh_rate 60 This sets the minimum refresh rate.

(solution from @vishnu350's reply earlier in this thread)

From my understanding, by default on LOS, it changes between 60, 90 and 120 depending on the content and your interraction with the screen (it normally goes to 120 when you are touching and then back to 60 after a few seconds). So maximum would be 120 and minimum is 60hz.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Mario545:
Thanks for reposting, worked!

Sorry for the duplicate, it is easy to lose track in a forum structure like this. Would be great if there was an FAQ for LineageOS on Zenfone users; I would contribute if there was one (e.g. a wiki or similar)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Eznaa:
Hi there, waking up an old issue: did anyone managed to get data roaming to work ?

Needless to say I already tried every APN settings possible (even put my SIM in 2 differents phones and successfully got data roaming to work)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
FYI LineageOS 19 is released: https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-official-sake-12-1-lineageos-19.4392517
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Eznaa:
Probably has same roaming data issue given that its also there on official Asus Stock android 12 beta fw
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
Likely, I don't leave the country ever so I can't test roaming.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Malko007:
If you manage to find a solution , I 'm really interested in. It is the last point

To everyone, any tricks to improve the battery? I can not last a day
[ASUS ZenFone 8] vomad:
There's no solution from the developer, flash new official LOS 19.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Malko007:
With los 19, you can pay? I'm waiting for the LOS4microg update
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Satoso:
Not specific to this thread(especially since LOS 19 is out) but thought I'd answer my own question:

Nope, a google/asus account isn't needed. Like the procedure to unlock some Samsungs, google accounts are only needed if you've already linked an account to the phone before.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] vomad:
Yes NFC is working but my country is under the sanctions so I can't add VISA/Mastercard to Google Pay now. We have national payment system MIR but app crashes after starting it (in latest 05.27 LOS build). Use Magisk 24 and zygisk beta option with 2 modules to pass safetynet on 19.1...
[ASUS ZenFone 8] And707:
I thought this file would have to be specific to the individual device (it's a while I went through this process, but I am considering getting another Zenfone 8 myself). Did this work for you, is it still possible to unlock it? Thanks.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
An attempted fix will be in the next update.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] NisseGurra:
Volte ok, Telia, Sweden
[ASUS ZenFone 8] DerSteppo:

[ASUS ZenFone 8] thatguy222:
Does the fingerprint reader cause the screen to brighten like on OmniROM?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
Yes, HBM. Dimming hasn't been implemented at all because I don't know how to do it.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Mr.GSpecial:
My cell phone crashes every now and then and this picture comes up.

- with new WIFI connections (not always)

- Folder rights, allow for apps

- Alarm clock, alarm tone Spotify (<- I'm not exactly sure)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Freak07:
does that only happen on lineage to you?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Mayo3222:
Hello

Did you unlock bootloader or root?

I have pm you, please check , thanks.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Mr.GSpecial:
yes, since I have LineageOS

bootloader
[ASUS ZenFone 8] gammerboy:
@Mr.GSpecial I think Freak07 is asking in a way as to know if the issue is rom specific or if it is the general ramdump issue which seems to be going on with zf8 which might be a hardware issue as far as speculations are going. Given the wording you have used it seems your device is able to recover given a restart maybe which seems to not be the case with the other failure (https://xdaforums.com/t/phone-wont-boot-to-android-stuck-on-ramdump.4317145/) which is happening. Anyways if possible do also check using a different rom to just be certain I guess.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] agazza:
Really excited about this!

Really good work!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Undead_Son:
Hi, is the zip not flashable via TWRP? Because when I try to flash the ROM, TWRP immediately returns to the main menu. We really need a flashable zip if so!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
Newest release is an OTA instead of a zip of images so you can try flashing from TWRP if you want, haven't tried though.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
BTW latest release ships firmware inside the OTA from 30.11.51.115.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] knzor:
Hi @ZVNexus.

Thanks for working on LOS on this device. I'm looking forward buying one.

I have a few questions if you don't mind:

Would you mind sharing the roomservice.xml file? I would like to try compiling by myself this ROM

Are you actively optimizing/tweaking/tuning your tree or it "just works" and changes are only upstream?

I've seen in this last update that there's only a GMS version (means with GAPPS included), are you planning to release only GMS?

Would you have interest integrating wireguard kernel module in your kernel tree?

Thanks!

Edit: Ignore question 2. Found your repo and saw your work :)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
Trees are merged in Lineage's GitHub, all you need to do is just lunch device and extract from the latest OTA if you want to self-build. I only have GMS builds going right now because my upload is super slow and just getting one build up takes a long time. Once ZF8 is added to LOS build targets they'll auto upload to the site and I won't have to worry about it. All the builds uploaded to the site there are GMS-less. I just bundle GMS since I'd imagine the majority use it, and its what I use. I can look into getting Wireguard in the kernel, assumed it was already in there since CAF did it for 4.19 so not being there on 5.4 is weird.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] thatguy222:
This is awesome. What I ended up having to do to get it working on both slots was (assuming you started on slot a):

Boot into TWRP and flash the .zip file. That will put Lineage OS on slot b AND Lineage Recovery on boot_b. Now switch slots in TWRP and boot into Lineage. That ought to work. Not boot into Lineage Recovery and choose the option to boot into fastboot (which will pop you into fastbootd).

Now install Lineage Recovery onto boot_a using fastboot flash boot_a boot.img (from the OP).

Now switch slots using fastboot set_active a.

Now use Lineage Recovery to reboot back into recovery. Now you're on slot a.

Now select Apply update>Apply from ADB and type in adb sideload nameofrom.zip.

Now you have both slots ready to go!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] thatguy222:
I'm a GAPPs fan anyways, so I appreciate it.

Is it going to be a smooth transition form unofficial to official or will we have to factory reset?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
You will have to factory reset, I sign my builds with my own keys, official signs theirs with theirs.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] thatguy222:
Got it!

Any idea when it'll become an official build?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
Whenever I get around to finishing the Wiki change which I'm at present too lazy to finish.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] gt1977thefirst:
hey ZVNexus, thanks for your work. I use your first no gms build. Wehre can i find the new one? Only GMS now?

A lot of people use LOS without google apps....

Thanks and best wishes
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
I don't have the bandwidth to upload both so I just upload what I personally use. Officials come out starting around Friday, so those will be without GMS and have a regular upload schedule.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] morpheus302:
Can i ask you guys whic happs do you use for camera? does the LOS build lose in terms of camera quality? really hyped about this as i got my ZF8 today.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
Right now it's just Camera2 but I intend to look into shipping ASUS Camera tonight instead.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Stelz87:
Hi all, really long time stalker, first time poster. Love your work mate.

I've discovered an issue with the hotspot. While it appears to be turned on and functioning correctly, I am unable to connect to it with any device. Unable to find IP address.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] thatguy222:
Reading mode/bedtime mode isn't turning on grayscale. Love the rom!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] DerSteppo:
Quick question about notification LED: will there be an option to change the colour and/or when it flashes? I know that it was a LOS feature on one of my previous phones, so I was wondering if this could be implemented as well for the ZF8.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
To be honest I kind of just forgot that LED exists. Always at an angle where I can never see it with a case on.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] DerSteppo:
😅 I know what you mean, but I kind of like it anyways. Doesn't matter much, but would be a much appreciated addition.

Any idea when will be builds available over at download.lineageos.org/sake ?

[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
Hey! I am very excited about LineageOS coming to the Zenfone 8, but I have a small question. Is the battery life any different from the stock ROM? Also, I am not sure that I understand what happens with updates when I use the Asus bootloader unlock tool. Thanks!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] dron39:
It's easy. You will not be able to lock or relock your bootloader unless you change motherboard of ZF8.

You will forever loose OTA updates, but you will be able to update it with full firmware file which is usually available on ASUS download website.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] PC295:
How to remove unlock warning?

Custom splash?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] DerSteppo:
Oh yes, I'd very much like that too!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] morpheus302:
there is no way to do so i think as its implemented in the bootloader. you don't wanna mess with that. but i don't think that this is relevant to lineage os or its development.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] thatguy222:
You can relock your bootloader.

But you're right, your IMEI is blacklisted and you will not receive OTA updates.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] dron39:
How we can relock? I asked Asus support and they replied that it can't be locked back. Only replace of MB.

[ASUS ZenFone 8] jaalai:
Hi guys and thanks for this dev ! I'd be thankful to receive your answers on this 3 questions:

- is there any option to manage the charging intensity (same as ZenUI) ?

- is aptx adaptive implemented ?

- any possibility to choose the screen refresh rate ?

Merci !

[ASUS ZenFone 8] Blumi511:
Hi there,

I've been following the ZenFone 8 threads for a month now and I am kind of excited with lineage os, since I will need security patches for my phone, even after Asus guarantees them.

However, I wanted to confirm, that the bootloader unlock does not void widevine L1?

Ah, and thank you very much for all your work :)
