Here we go, with a bt of delay November 2023. builds are up

This took a bit longer than usual due to fact i was working on Android 14 and few other projects.

Android 14 builds will likely be out next month (December) so far they are pretty stable and feel smoother than android 13.

Huge thanks to everyone who supported this project with doations that help cover the build server cost

as noted previously i had to change donation email to ivan.meler0101+paypal@gmail.com/paypal.me/melerivan due to some issues with previous account

Thanks to everyone who supported project over the years once again and see you soon with android 14.

For OTA updates, after manually flashing this build OTA updates will work once again, sorry for any inconvenience caused by this

RIP LineageOS18.1

Say goodbye to LineageOS 18.1

LineageOS devs discontinue version 18.1 based on Android 11 after Google releases final security patch

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ivan_Meler:
Here we go, March security update is here.

LineageOS 21 builds wont get update this time around as new qpr is still being merged and fixed up

There were a lot of changes from google in their quarterly platform update soboth LineageOS codebase

and some device changes are needed for it to be on par with previous builds.

There will be april builds for it soon so it made no sense to push half baked update today.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ivan_Meler:
April security update is here, nothing more to it this time around

Unfortunately as you might have noticed patches were posted a bit later past 2 months due my schedule

Ill also fix Lineage 21 qpr merge in coming days and release update for those builds too, there were tons of changes in qpr that turned out to be a bit problematic

As alwasy huge thanks to everyone who supported this project and helped cover the build server cost.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] E--Man:
Hi All,

I just purchased a pre-owned Mate 20X with unlocked Bootloader and it currently has EMUI build 9.0.0.207 C636. As a precaution, I always flash my devices back to original stock ROM before using them.

Does anyone know where I can download the stock ROM from a

GENUINE

Huawei source or OTA?

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I understand that I cannot upgrade to EMUI 9.1 or higher because I will lose my unlocked Bootloader status which I absolutely need.

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] wood777fly:
I have had this same problem over the years with two S7edge phones:

Put on charge and when Ive gone back to the phone the blue led at the top is flashing which I understand from articles on the net means the hardware is ok. There is no response whichever buttons are pressed and in any sequence NO DOWNLOAD / Nothing. Some sites reccomend pulling the battery and fitting a fresh battery which I have done without success. Sites say its a system corruption on update. Cannot use ODIN as I cannot get into DOWNLOAD. Phone does not show up on computer / Or in ZADIG window. In this circumstance how do Samsung service centres get into the ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] NoPlanXD:
My dead S7 had a broken screen aswell as a broken power button, hence why i couldnt get into download mode. replaced display, button and battery, now works again. Maybe you have the same Issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Maybe a failed C port pcb ie battery not charging.

Or mobo failure.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Xubiks:
Hello. As the post suggests, I'm trying to look for the source code for the Onn 100005206, or to see if anyone has gotten LineageOS working on it.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
To the best of my knowledge, Digiland, the Walmart/Onn affiliate that manufactures these tablets, has yet to release any kernel source. However, kernel source isn't required for a LineageOS port ROM. Since most of these tablets are Project Treble supported, there are probably existing GSI custom builds that will boot up and run on the Surf 7 (100005206). I am now finishing a custom ROM on a Lenovo Tab3, and the 100005206 will be my next project for a custom ROM once I finish up. I can post my progress here to keep any interested members informed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pi77:
Dear Gurus,

Newbie here. :)

The phone boot up with T-mobile logo into a secure start-up display.

I have not reboot for a long time so I don't remember this mode nor its

password. I don't know what android version nor other info either b/c

I have just been using the phone for so long and not looking around.

It's lg v40 thinQ Aurora Black.

When I hard reset (vol dwn + power), the phone displayed

"Factory reset disabled by kill switch"

I googled all over and found this

w.w.w.y.o.u.t.u.b.e.c.o.m/watch?v=cq9JLh2Hndw

but no other way to disable or remove the killswitch. I don't even know

if this video worked with the lg v40, and it's not easy to open it up.

Is there a way to disable or remove the killswitch?

Thank you so much!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Look in settings>security >System Administrators
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pi77:
Thank you BlackHawk.

I am stuck at the "Secure start-up" screen b/c I don't remember the passwd,

then "Factory reset disabled by killswitch" screen, so I can't get to any

other screen to set anything.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Meh don't set screen, bios etc passwords.

Yeah the PC with no name... it gets it done.

NEVER password protect or encrypt backup data.

You're the one most likely to get lock out... sad but true.

It may be through no fault of your own, all it takes is a hardware failure or data corruption. Had no password been set you probably be ok.

The Cramps, What's Behind the Mask... damn that's sounding good. So true🤣
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pi77:
Thanks BlackHawk.

So there is no way at all to get around my problems?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Maybe someone know s better than me... but there's one to bypass it I think. Research it.

I never tried it and it's halfway taboo here... you can see why. Play god... carry on.

Meh and don't set anymore passwords for boot up etc🤣
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pi77:
Thanks, BlackHawk.

Much obliged. Will try and if I succeed, i'll report it here

... and won't set anymore passwd. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pi77:
Unfortunately, nothing worked. 😔

OTG method assumed one was logged in but the Secure Start-up screen prevented that

and I don't have the password. Not sure what happened if I used all 30 attempts and kill

switch is active.

Can't bypass Secure Start-up b/c Factory Reset was disabled by Kill Switch (my guess is

McAfee Kill Switch)

Can't use adb b/c kill switch prevented that.

It's chicken or egg problem. If someone knows some leads, please let me know. Thanks.
[Touch GSM General] semajj:
Is it possible to use sounds/music you have installed instead of the standard sounds that come pre installed on the phone. Any ideas would be great.:)
[Touch GSM General] ankit_sam:
hmmmmmmmmmm,

Copy ur music file to "windows" or "My documents" folder, it will search and automatically add to list, then u can set it.

I would advice u to use any software like cradle alarm/Vistalarm/G-Alarm.
[Touch GSM General] EMoeHTC:
Make sure it is a wav audio file (mp3's won't work)...

HTC ELF Alarm Sound Link

I will add that you will need an mp3 to wav converter, if all of your files are in mp3 format. I use media coder.

Bonus for you...

hello that helped with the side port. a huge thank you;) but now I'm facing the next problem ... is there a way to lock the bootloader again?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
It's already covered somewhere here... (1) Flash original stock boot.img back to the device (2) Use 'fastboot oem asus-csc_lk" to lock the device

Just mind that some owners of the CN/CN>WW converted versions apparently have issues re-unlocking the device again if you change your mind later. If you have a WW version you're fine however.

[Moto G Play (2021)] theburrus1:
Does anyone know of the whereabouts to a blankflash file, or can one be made? I see them all the time with the firmware bundles for many other moto phones, but not this one. Is Motorola not an official provider for these files, but rather they are leaked unofficially by other devs?
[Moto G Play (2021)] fddm:
Blankflash has a signed programmer that is required to flash in EDL mode. Basically a little program with a matching signature that is verified by the first bootloader before granting access to emmc flashing and dumping functions. Motorola is likely the only entity that has the key to sign this file. No idea if they're official or leaked, though.

Is possible to downgrade the android version of EU rom. Im using miui 12.5.1 with android 11 version, i think by downgrading the android version will help me to decrease the fps drop while playing pubg mobile. Android 11 with miui12 version is not suited for games. Someone please help me
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] UncivilStar:
Yes. You can do that by using Miflash. Google it and start reading how it works, there are a lot of simple guides. The entire process is pretty easy if u follow closely the instructions, noob word. Just remember to check out the anti rollback version of your phone before downgrade (very important to avoid bricks).

[Moto G Stylus 5G] NonStickAtom785:
Okay... Just out of curiosity... Couldn't I technically flash a non-oem locked flash file....
[Moto G Stylus 5G] sosthenisRR:
From what I've read either 1 of 2 things will happen. 1 you will be able to flash through qdl 9008 just fine. And maybe flash back to stock of the "new" device if the OEM didn't relock to the old firmware binary. Or 2 the blank flash works but in flashing but after aiming for firmware install it bricks and you will not be able to software or cable boot into qdl 9008 mode.

I have seen similar results so as to the flashing the new blank flash. You will NO LONGER have working qdl9008 mode without pinouts. Flash wisely.

Well based upon what I've seen from this firmware(the -4 set) it literally looks like cricket took their apps, and disabled the rest for easy carrier unlocking support... It would definitely be risky I suppose but not as risky as one might think.

Does Samsung use RCS? I usually like to stick with Samsung because I feel like Google messages drains the battery quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Slicc98:
No one has got it to work yet. Only Google messages.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] JayRolla:
Google messages is way better. Never noticed battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] eswar539:
same, always with google messages on any android phone
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Dolgogi:
Must be region dependent?

In Australia, we have Samsung Messages working with RCS.

Have it on my S21U and on my Fold3.

View attachment 5407075
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Jake.S:
Yes samsung messages uses RCS in Sweden a ISP has begun supporting RCS and it was enabled in samsung messages app
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Jake.S:
No you are wrong. Samsung messages app does support RCS. Works fine for me
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Jake.S:
No it's not region depended. It's ISP/operator depended. Once your provider supports RCS the feature will be automatically enabled into samsung messages app.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] vincey2kr1:
The wife and I are both on Verizon. Guessing it doesn't support rcs yet
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Dolgogi:
No, Samsung started using Googles universal Jibe profile, so it's independent of carriers.

Yes, originally, some Samsung phones relied on carriers to implement it, and as we know, they screwed around, hence Google rolling out RCS independently of carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Jake.S:
Well you said it was region depended first. Lol so I wanted to tell you it isn't region depended.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Slicc98:
Where are you located? I'm in US on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Dolgogi:
I meant that Samsung may not have rolled out updated version of their Messages app or the service, world wide yet.

Sorry for the confusion.

Google's RCS Chat is now expanding to the Samsung Messages app

Google's version of RCS that bypasses slow carriers is now available in the Samsung Messages app, though it's only for some users.

www.google.com
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Jake.S:
I'm located in Europe, Sweden.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Jake.S:
It's still carrier depended. Since alot of carries out there don't support RCS so then feature won't show up in app until carrier supports it. But I get what you mean about update.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ButterflyFlutterflyMyOhMy:
I use the stock Samsung texting app because the Google one couldn't read (messages were missing) tons of my previous texts from my previous phone (S7 Edge), which is not something I can live with. At first I was annoyed that RCS can't be reset or you can't send/resend a text as a regular, non-Chat text if the person doesn't receive it when their Chat isn't working even though their dot is on, but I discovered that it automatically sends texts as regular texts if it doesn't go through as an RCS (even if the person is sending you RCS texts just before and after - not sure why it doesn't work at times).
