@MSe1969 Thank you once again for your outstanding work you deliver all the time. The reliability of your rom is unbeatable. Thank u. Thumbs up. 👍👍👍

Have had no issues during update or running over the last couple of days.

Just Greeeeat as ever :D
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
Thanks for the feedback - just a comment: I expect that the OTA updates simply work, my post about the 'error 7' may have been misunderstood.

Nevertheless, I doing development on this device and flash stuff for test purposes (even resulting in test builds sometimes not booting), so I seem to have 'managed' to screw the logical partition scheme in the so-called 'Super partition'. So I published the way, how to fix that - I am pretty sure, that the vast majority of you will never face such an issue, but at least some of you may sometimes try out other builds etc., and then such things could occur, and I simply thought, that it is a good idea to publish the solution for that issue, as I myself had so spend some time to find it.

Does Google Pay work on this build? I am new to custom ROMS and want to distance myself from Google, but I use Gpay on the daily basis.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
I don't know as a matter of fact, but I am pretty sure that the answer is no.

However, I am currently working on a 2nd build variant with the ported "sandbox jail" for Google Play from GrapheneOS and I am looking for volunteers to test that for me (more to follow later today), as I can't do that on my own device, which is my daily driver (and there is no working TWRP for our device being able to decrypt the /data partition on A11), as this would screw up my setup... That thing could be your solution, I think...

EDIT: AFAIK, G*Pay requires passed safety net attestation, which is not the case for this device with this ROM. I have no idea, whether it's possible to pass SN with this device and LineageOS. Maybe others can step in here?

EDIT2: Apart from the technical answers given by me before: distancing from G* on the one hand side, whilst still using G*Pay on a daily basis, is a significant and unsolvable contradiction, so you may want to think about this topic, too...?
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
Volunteers wanted - Test build for 'sandboxed play services'

Hi all,

I have created (and also briefly tested myself

on a different device

) a test build of this ROM with an Android 11/LineageOS 18.1 port of GrapheneOS's Sandboxed Play services .

The test build -

clean-flash strongly recommended

- does not contain any microG app (but besides all other existing hardening measures and features of this ROM) and you would have to install the respective Google apps (GSF proxy, Play services and Play store)

manually as ordinary apps

- this means: NO FLASHING ANY ZIP, but manually installing the three apps as APK files or bundles. [You could either try to extract the APK files from a flashable Gapps ZIP (make sure to choose Android 11 and arm64) or to e.g. look at apkmirror.com -

once again: DON'T flash any Gapps.zip!

].

Whilst the current microG ROM offered in this thread mainly aims at users not really keen on using Google, but still providing a basic compatibility to many apps with G* dependencies without truly integrating with G* - this could become an option for those

willing

to use G* (and tolerating the known negative impacts), whilst not having to live with Google's infamous "kill switch" (factually allowing them to take over your device at any time and/or secretly replacing your installed apps with "crafted" ones) and ability to track you 24/7 (you however still choose to share information with them, don't ignore that fact!)

I frankly admit, that I did

not

test this on my own 7T Pro device (but on my 3T device, where it worked OK), as this is my daily driver and I don't want to loose my setup (and as we all know, there is no working TWRP for the 7T Pro, which can decrypt the /data partition on Android 11, so no full backup), so relying on your input for now.

I would be interested to see, to what extent this approach is usable and whether this would be interesting for you as an offered 2nd build variant or not.

Your feedback is appreciated.

Thanks & regards - M.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] martisBU:
I know that with LineageOS it is possible to make GPay work, but I am not educated enough to know how they do it. Also, I wish I didn't need to use GPay, but most of the time the only thing I have on me is my phone. Also, if GPay isn't working, I can't use my banking app due to the same check they do behind the hood.

I am new to this whole custom ROM community, but due to recent things, I really want to distance myself from Google services. Although this build isn't for me, I really love what you are doing, and I appreciate your work. I hope that one day I will be able to use this on my daily driver OP 7T pro.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
G*Pay is deeply integrated with the Google Play services, and this ROM uses microG and not the genuine Google Spy services. Further, G*Pay needs the 'SafetyNet' attestation to pass, and on this device using this ROM, this check fails. There are LineageOS devices (especially with older hardware) still passing 'SafetyNet', as the checks are more relaxed on older hardware, due to compatibility reasons. That is why.

Of course, you decide about your life and what is important to you. And everybody has different priorities. I for myself have decided, that I prefer not to use my phone to pay in shops or restaurants. Cash and/or plastic cards work quite well, too. :) For sure, I don't want "big G*" to spy on all my finance transactions, analyze and profile them and report "suspicious activities" to any US authority.

Most probably "SafetyNet", as explained above. That depends of course on each bank, and how they implement two-factor authentication (2FA) etc. - My bank e.g. lets me still use their app for read access, which is fair enough. Using 2FA on the same device voids the whole concept and unfortunately, many banking apps are mainly designed to make it very difficult for security researchers to find and publish all the loopholes rather than implementing proper security, but that is another story.

Thanks for your feedback - I see you have started to think about "big G*", which is good. As said, all up to you and your preferences. Just a general non-technical advice from my side: Maybe somehow consider it similar to fast food vs. healthy nutrition. There is no 'magic pill' to convert fast food into healthy food - if you e.g. understand that too much fast food is not good for you, you have to actively change your diet. This is work, requires to to get familiar with nutrition and alternatives, but at the end, you'll see that you won't really miss the fast food...

Hi @MSe1969,

I won't use it, I prefer if Google Play doesn't run on my device. Even if I have no precise idea what it takes to MicroG to run properly; maybe it shares already too much information with the mothership. And even if I'd really want to have Android Auto work on my device (even better, an AA lookalike that enables Organic Maps to run on my car head unit).

That said I still find this is a nice idea, and again thank you for all your work.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
Me neither for now, as I have already mentioned (major reason is that I don't want to wipe my device) - so this is not for everyone, but it may be interesting for some people.

The idea behind, as also explained in the GrapheneOS docu (which however reflects Android 12 and not 11, like this build - the 11-backport using the 11 commits from GrapheneOS is still much more "basic"), is that you could further restrict your setup by e.g. using the "Shelter" app to create a separate work-profile, in which you would "sandbox" G*Play - so when your main profile is active, the 2nd profile sleeps and anyhow, only in your 2nd work profile, where you have an own address book and own apps etc., the sandboxed G*Play would exist...

https://microg.org/ and https://calyxos.org/docs/guide/microg/ might give you more insight on that.

When I was playing around with AA (scroll back in this thread), I wasn't too impressed either - wasn't e.g. too much amused about the requirement to install G*Maps and have it actively spying your location, while using AA, even if you weren't using it or even had a different GPS app...

Excuse the possible rudeness or incorrect placement but this is the only thread I have been using on XDA.

I have managed to get hold of another 7T Pro 4G McLaren and want to roll my old one back to stock so I can store it for emergencies. Typically I did not think of this until I had applied the Latest build of this rom to the newer phone :(

Anyone here have a stock McLaren rom available?

Perfect, thank you. I had since found a couple of others but do not know the sources, most of which stored on google drives etc which always makes me slightly wary.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] old-Silver:
Have had a strange thing happen and not sure if it is this build or the Aurora store that causes it.

I understand that a lot of apps now grab all of your phone contacts etc as they install but did not think they removed them.

Due to work I had to (against my better judgment) install Microsoft Excel from the Aurora store.

On getting a new text from a known source I noticed the name was missing, only showed the persons contact number, confused I open Contacts only to find it empty?

Confused I re-imported my .vcf from back up and continued with my day.

Next day I thought I would see if I could re-create the issue. Uninstalled Excel checked contacts were still present and rebooted the phone.

Re-installed Excel from the Aurora store and BAM! all my contacts were removed again. Any one else had anything similar?
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] alleykat2561:
No. All I did was export my contacts.vcf from my old phone (3T), copied that file to the new phone (7T pro) then imported contacts.vcf to the Contacts app. Worked fine. No issues since then.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] old-Silver:
Thanks for the feedback alleykat:

It is an odd one, seems anything I install from the Aurora store is doing the same thing, F-Driod apps are fine.

On further testing:

I added a dummy contact direct on the phone (not from my .vcf) and installed another app.​

The dummy contact was the only one left following an app install.​

Re-created the same issue running the same tests on my second McLaren 7T Pro? covers it off from being just the device it's self.​

My initial thoughts are it is something in the store app not the ROM (MSe1969), if I get the time I will dig in and see if I can initiate or find some logging of the install process and feed back.

Not a major issue for me, this is the first time I have used the Aurora store, will take this as a warning and not use it going forward either :D

Thought I should bring it forward in case others see something similar

Have been experiencing a massive battery drain in the last couple of days. Running the latest build of this awesome ROM. Does anybody else notice anything similar?

all working fine as usual after the 1211 update - could Dev let in on any plans to move to 19.1 based microg at all? I see this is out on microg main site, so work should be relatively straightforward?

didn't see A12 firmware on xda for op7tp yet, may be this is why?

will stick with better privacy of this hardened variety if at all possible though!

Just a short question: Would it be possible to make the screen gestures of OxygenOS work in this ROM? I am talking "turning the flashlight on via drawing a circle on the black screen" gesture, not navigation gestures.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
I use the LineageOS sources with certain hardenings and adaptations, so this ROM provides, what the respective "original" LineageOS build for this device offers in regards to gestures. I have never worked on gestures and quite frankly, I am not really interested in them. Hence I have no imagination about the effort and I for sure won't spend time on investigating this. If you point me to publicly available sources, which can be easily picked, I may consider having a look . . .

LineageOS 19.1 - 1st Test build

Hi all,

the 1st LineageOS 19.1 Test build is available now - I have upgraded my own device, which means, there will soon be an own thread for this and this 18.1 thread will come to an end eventually. There will however for sure be a January '23 Lineage 18.1 hotdog build be published.

If you want to upgrade now and help me with your feedback (remember: Without clean flash, it won't be possible to downgrade!), please proceed as follows - I advise you to

strictly follow

below instructions:

Step 1 - Upgrade the firmware

Get the Android 12 firmware for the Oneplus 7T Pro and flash it. These are the official LineageOS instructions.

I have used the "Oxygen Updater" app (you can obtain the app from AuroraStore) and grabbed the file from there.

If you have a European model (e.h. HD1913 like me), I have created a downloadable archive.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLASH OR SIDELOAD - instead, unpack on your local PC and study the README.

Perform the firmware upgrade, while still using your current recovery - it may be advisable to flash my recovery for this Lineage-18.1 build first to be on the safe side.

Step 2 - Upgrade the recovery

Download and unpack the specific recovery for this build. Reboot to bootloader and flash the recovery:

fastboot flash recovery lineage-19.1-20221222-recovery-hotdog.img - still in the boot loader, choose "recovery mode" to enter the recovery.

Step 3 - Upgrade the ROM from Lineage-18.1 to Lineage-19.1

Download and unpack the LineageOS 19.1 test build. On the device, select “Apply Update”, then “Apply from ADB” to begin sideload. On your PC, enter the command adb sideload <name of the ROM zip file>.

Quote from the LineageOS install instructions - same applies here:

Normally, adb will report Total xfer: 1.00x, but in some cases, even if the process succeeds the output will stop at 47% and report adb: failed to read command: Success. In some cases it will report adb: failed to read command: No error or adb: failed to read command: Undefined error: 0 which is also fine.

Once you have installed everything successfully, click the back arrow in the top left of the screen, then “Reboot system now”.

I'd appreciate to receive feedback to be able to pay attention to any issues (so far, I haven't noticed anything after the pain on getting it to work on my device)

Have fun - working on the kernel now.

Cheers, M.

Hello all

I just finish the installation

Please found my feedback :

I am not aible to find the rom for oneplus 7t pro hd1917.

Therefore I used your file and all seems good.

for info My devices indicate now a hd1911.

I use windows 11

I need to update the driver fastboot first time

after installer the new firmware I need to update again fastboot driver

Now all seems work fine,

Just one remark after 5 minutes I do not find the setting for icon color.

Thanks Mse1969 for this tuto and this new update
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
Good catch!

I have asked in the official LineageOS 19.1 thread, where you can also read about the background of this.

Thanks for your feedback! Glad to read that all went fine for you.

Regarding "Icon color" - I haven't altered anything in the design/color/backgrounds area, so this ROM offers exactly the same features and functions as the "official" LineageOS 19.1 hotdog build. Where was this setting in 18.1 ?

Updated kernel (many sec. patches applied from DivestOS)

Now with OTA infrastructure - this means, after manually flashing this via 'adb sideload', you will receive further upates via Updater app

[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] nico21311:
Update done all working fine after reboot OTA pop-up with update coming

I performing and all is ok

Just one point I need to reinstall the recovery

Because only the bootloader seems available
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
Thanks - reflects also my own testing, but always good to get as much as possible feedback

With my device, all ok - but I assume, that the recovery was only flashed on one partiction and now you flashed to the other (remember, it's a/b layout)?
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] nico21311:
For the the recovery, I test again after installation, and I have acces correctly to the recovery

However I have some freezzing of the phone when I used the sharing connexion.

In this case, I need to restart the phone.

This behaviour appear if I activate this function just after the restart.

If I wait a bit the sharing function work but some time not.

LineageOS 19.1 thread created

I have now created a LineageOS 19.1 successor thread for this build.

And here is the 1st "official" (i.e. non-test) build.

As indicated before: I will for sure publish a new 18.1 build with ASB patches in January '23, but afterwards - you should aim at upgrading.
