[ASUS ZenFone 8] QM_XDA:
I do not have issues since I followed those steps :

- Install Magisk (as you probably done)

- Install Magisk modules (you may restart after all) :

- Riru (needed by safetyNet fix by krag0n)​

- SafetyNet fix by krag0n​

- MagiskHidePropsConf​

- Into Magisk Settings enable MagiskHide

- Install a terminal app, type "props", allow root access and then choose to "Edit device fingerprint" (1) following by "Pick a certified fingerprint" (f) to finally select "Asus" (1) and then (17) or (18) according to you !

- Reboot

- Do a SafetyNet and voilà !
[ASUS ZenFone 8] NisseGurra:
Seems today's build failed

android #35323 · LineageOS

sake 20210924

buildkite.com

Lets hope next weeks is ok :)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Devione:
Is it just me or is the vibrate on this Rom not working?

Everything else seems fine but I get no vibration at all on the device in vibrate mode when there are incoming calls and barely any vibrate from say WhatsApp notifications...

Tried calls on stock Rom and tested on the built in test to make sure it wasn't hardware related.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
That issue is resolved as of the next build. It's an issue that only shows up on newer devices, was able to connect to it fine from my Pixel 3a but unable to from my OnePlus 9.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
Build was re-ran, it's out now.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] morpheus302:
So excited to test the new build. thank you very much for maintaining this great little device :)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] NisseGurra:
@ZVNexus, sent you a small token, thanks for bringing lineage for ZF8 :)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] morpheus302:
Camera quality improved drastically using GCam with 64mb option enabled. I don't know if it's on par with the stock ROM quality. Needs further testing. For the rest its almost perfect and a good daily driver.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] morpheus302:
Switching Bluetooth sources during calls is buggy and ultimately falls back to headset.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] NisseGurra:
Problem with build again?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
Build server has some problems right now with SSL certificates.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Undead_Son:
Still can't flash the official build the good old TWRP way :(
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
That's a problem with TWRP unfortunately.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] NisseGurra:
Why not use linage recovery as stated in install guide?, its very easy and 100% safe
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Undead_Son:
Just did, but I when I get used to something, I don't want any changes.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] jaalai:
Hi ! Trying my luck again to get some answers, thanks !

Specially on the atpx adaptive one. I've been reading that if the original phone has it implemented (so license paid), LOS "should" have it as well, but I guess it all depends from the dev.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] NisseGurra:
New build runs nicely, thanks
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Undead_Son:
Vibration working?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] NisseGurra:
Yes it does, touch and call vibration ok, bit low tho
[ASUS ZenFone 8] morpheus302:
Does switching Bluetooth devices during in-calls work? That was the bug that made me switch back to stock.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Undead_Son:
1. No way to manage the charging intensity.

2. I can use only SBC, aptX, aptX HD and LDAC. aptX Adaptive is not supported.

3. Can choose the minimum refresh rate.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Undead_Son:
What about double tap to wake? I think it worked on the previous build, but doesn't on the latest
[ASUS ZenFone 8] NisseGurra:
It works, need at trick to get it to work: settings/display/lockscreen, Toggle "always show time and info", press power to toggle lock screen.. Now you can disable "always show time and info" and tap to wake is functional.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Undead_Son:
Strange, It was really hard to make it work. Had to switch toggles on/off over and over, then it suddenly started working. Oh well, thanks for the trick :)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
Support is declared in the audio policy and it's a valid preference in Settings but I have no hardware that supports it, or anything AptX for that matter. The Bluetooth earbuds I own (Samsung Galaxy Buds Live) support only SBC and AAC. So if it works, great if it doesn't, it likely won't be resolved as I don't have hardware to test it on.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Devione:
Hi there,

Since it seems to be a problem unique to my device, is there anything I can try or do to make vibrate for calls and notifications work?

As of latest (20211002) Somehow every option or combination to force vibrate isn't working with my device specifically for calls. Vibrate for notifications is barely there. Touch vibrate when typing and normal touch use is however, functioning as normal.

I know for sure it's not a hardware issue because vibrate is fine on stock and Omni. Is there anything i'm doing wrong?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] cojocar.andrei:
Somebody should build RR for this. I did it for xperia xa2 from an official lineage build, RR is full of options, best rom... Thanks!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] francescod:
RR has a bit bloatead customization and they also haven't updated to Android R.

Our next best bet is crDroid!

I do really hope @ZVNexus (thanks for your work) makes his device tree along with vendor tree fully compatible with Kirisakura kernel (Wi-Fi cannot be enabled at all).
[ASUS ZenFone 8] jaalai:
Hi guys and huge thanks @ZVNexus for your work. My first feedbacks confirming some of the issues already reported:

- Can't use a BT device during phone calls or app calls

- Can't activate the notification LED (only me ?!)

- Double tape to wake: have to toggle "always show time and info" to make it works after every restart

- Fingerprint reader cause the screen to brighten

- Can't connect to the Hotspot

- Notification "USB debugging connected" each time a USB cable is connected to the device (goes away after turning it off in the dev option)

As for aptx adaptive, it works fine :)

Stability, fluidity and battery life look very promising. I'd say that 2 first issues are major for keeping it as a daily but again, thanks for the hard work.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Undead_Son:
Promising ROM, but the ramdump bug ruins everything for me
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
That happens on stock too unfortunately.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Undead_Son:
Was on stock for months, never had a ramdump.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] NisseGurra:
I was on stock and bricked my 1st zf8, no problems with lineage or gsi's
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
Yeah it's a rare issue. I haven't had a single ramdump since the very early days of LOS bringup months ago.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] morpheus302:
Ramdump is the result of bad manipulation.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] NisseGurra:
No, there lots of reports of stock unaltered zf8 with the ramdump issue.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] morpheus302:
Ok had it a few times on OP6 and ZF8 and recovered fine. But it was the result of bad manipulations. Maybe it's a hardware issue with ZF8.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] NisseGurra:
ZF8 has some serious design flaw that bricks it, loads of reports now and more to come

ZenFone8 stuck on waiting for flashing full ramdump

As requested by the mod - opening new discussion for the issue. The Flashing Full Ramdump happened to me too - the phone was being charged over the night and the error was waiting when I woke up. I hope that at least your service will fix it quickly.

zentalk.asus.com
[ASUS ZenFone 8] assasss:
Having a phone manufactured in 04/2021 and waiting in suspense on what will happen is the worst part 😬
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Undead_Son:
Sometimes it happens again right after boot. Today at one point I was afraid it wasn't going to stop.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
Try hotspot again, new build came out today.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] jaalai:
Installed, I can confirm the hotspot issue is fixed, bravo :)

My feedback updated:

- Can't use a BT device during phone calls or app calls

- Can't activate the notification LED (only me ?!)

- Double tape to wake: have to toggle "always show time and info" to make it works after every restart

- Fingerprint reader cause the screen to brighten

- Can't connect to the Hotspot

- Notification "USB debugging connected" each time a USB cable is connected to the device (goes away after turning it off in the dev option)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
I use my phone for Android Auto and it's connected to Bluetooth, I use it for phone calls and Bluetooth connection persists(?)

Yeah LED works here.

DT2W works without issues here, reboot after reboot.

Fingerprint thing is intended behaviour, for now. I can't implement dimming.

That's an intended part of AOSP.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] jaalai:
Even after a factory reset, I can't have the LED working. May I ask your setting ? Only "Notification light" turned on and that's it ?

As for the BT, I figured it out: it works fine with a device supporting AAC and/or SBC codec. But not with one supporting aptx. Music/Videos work fine with aptx tho.

For DT2W, it's fine now as well.

"USB debogging connected" notification is no longer here.

My feedback updated:

- Can't use an aptx BT device during phone calls or app calls

- Can't activate the notification LED
[ASUS ZenFone 8] DerSteppo:
Is colour customization for individual apps working or just LED on/off?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] jaalai:
Can't tell as I can't make the LED work, even after several factory resets :(
[ASUS ZenFone 8] zlice0555:
FYI...lineage has borked hidden wifi networks apparently since 14 or 15.

Don't try to use this if any network you rely on is hidden.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
Firstly, not a ROM specific issue and two it's not broken, can connect to hidden SSIDs fine.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] zlice0555:
I couldn't, found a bunch of dead issues with Lineage saying people couldn't.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
How are you trying to connect to the hidden network?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] zlice0555:
WPA/WPA2. I undid everything and got back to stock and it connects.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
No I mean, exact steps.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] zlice0555:
- drop down qick settings

- hold wifi

- scroll to bottom

- "add network"

- enter SSID

- pick "WPA/WPA2"

- enter pass

on lineage my network wont come up. it's under "saved networks" but all i could do was change settings (security/pass i think was all, although it kept showing "wpa/wpa2/wpa3" which seemed weird) or forget it. no other encryption worked obvously. it never comes up on the list with available networks.

stock it connects after entering the SSID/WPA2.

i dont think there's anything to be done about it. maybe it's my specific network/hardware, either way i saw similar issues going back a few version of Lineage
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
You skipped the "hidden network" setting. It's right below where you pick security.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] zlice0555:
I'm not sure that's it. Installed Lineage 18 on an old device and didn't need to specify "hidden".
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
Have you tried doing so?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] zlice0555:
On the old device? Yes. My current one I need for the next week so I won't try for a bit.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] agazza:
Anyone else itching to daily drive this?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] assasss:
I am, but with the Ramdump I don't dare to try it and lose my warranty
[ASUS ZenFone 8] jaalai:
I'm using it daily for 2 weeks:

++

no Ramdump (05-2021 batch)

better fluidity compared to stock

very stable

battery improvement compared to stock (not huge)

no Google :)

--

can't use BT earbuds with aptx codec during calls from phone or app (Signal, Whatsapp, Wechat), but all listening functions works well (spotify, new pipe, vocal messages, etc...). works fine with AAC/SBC earbuds.

can't use the LED notification (works for ZVNexus tho)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
The LED works for battery stuff, not notifications. When the next weekly build rolls out this will resolve the issue: https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_asus_sake/+/318068
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
How do the updates work on Lineage? Do I have to flash the zip file every time there is a new update, or is there just a page in the settings that does everything like the stock rom? If it works in the settings without flashing, does it also work for firmware updates from Asus? Thanks!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] morpheus302:
Is there a plan to include aptx blobs in future builds?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] jaalai:
It works same as stock.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
They exist and it works for other users. At least according to jaalai.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] arnetheduck:
First of all, thanks devs!

Working nicely so far, a few hiccups:

- similar bluetooth issues as others, using during calls of any kind (phone, signal etc) freezes call application for approximately 10s, then it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't - anecdotally consumes more battery on the headphones.

- no data roaming - checked APN settings but to no avail - calls work fine.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] jaalai:
I'll give my detailed feedback below , hope other ones with similar issues will complete:

- with Oneplus Buds, BT 5.0 codec AAC/SBC => everything works fine

- with Xiaomi Flipbuds Pro, BT 5.2 codec AAC/SBC/Aptx Adaptive => listening to Spotify, Apple Music, New Pipe, voice messages on Signal/Whatsapp/Wechat works fine with every codec (Aptx Adaptive is the one chosen by default once buds are connected tho). Leaving voice messages works fine. However calling (or videocall) using phone or messaging app makes the app bug/crash. Even when I force AAC/SBC in dev options
[ASUS ZenFone 8] morpheus302:
That's what's preventing me from using the ROM as a daily driver.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ZVNexus:
That's unfortunate but considering I make calls over Bluetooth on a daily basis and I've never had an issue so I can't reproduce, and without logs I can't look into it.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] morpheus302:
Actually it just happens when trying to switch usb devices earbuds to car bluetooth that the bug happens. Don't know why.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Anghirrim:
Hello,

First of all, thanks a lot for your work. That's super nice to see LOS on such a recent phone.

A friend of mine is considering to buy a Zenfone 8 but wants to run /e/ OS on it.

As it is based on LOS4microg, i can easily build it (it's ongoing).

Question is now, can we use LOS recovery to flash /e/ on the Zenfone 8? Or he'll have to use TWRP?

Just asking this because I saw your warning about not using TWRP when possible.

Thanks!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] jaalai:
Reporting here 2 minor "bugs":

- i'm using a full black background and on the home screen, the very top of the screen (2mm) is lighter, not pitch black same as the rest of the background. It seems that the notification bar graphical effects are always here even when the bar isn't pulled down. Can observe this only in a pitch black room without lights !

- I feel like the dual-speakers are not balanced same as stock. In Newpipe, the earpiece speaker seems louder than the main bottom one.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] jaalai:
And the LED works, thanks! Haptic feedback is now stronger as well.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] modpunk:
I've fixed the LED for notifications, see https://review.lineageos.org/q/topic:sake-led
[ASUS ZenFone 8] jaalai:
Yes thanks for that ! This is what I wrote the message just above yours :)

Just one precision: 3 colors exist yellow red and green. You can play with it in Whatsapp (White will be Yellow, Cyan will be Green, Blue will be OFF and Purple will be Red).
[ASUS ZenFone 8] vishnu350:
Tried latest nightly+root, no gapps. Works brilliantly. Battery life is excellent.

Issues that I found (and some solutions):

1) Mobile data + roaming doesn't work. May need to tweak build.prop?

2) Mobile data + custom DNS doesn't work. Solution:

Manually select APN in network settings.

3) Phone is permanently in 120Hz adaptive mode. Do this via adb to drop it to 60hz if u want battery life (or 90, 120)

settings put system peak_refresh_rate 60

settings put system min_refresh_rate 60

4) Always-on display is always kinda bright, doesn't scale with screen brightness setting (unless brightness turned all the way to 0). AOD is also always in 120Hz, which is odd.

5) Invoking the "remount" command in the shell (for RW permissions on system,vendor,etc) works. But it causes the phone to take an extra 2-3 mins to boot up, and at the end it complains about trebuchet before asking you to kill it.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] vishnu350:
For those with the ramdump issue, I may have a clue to what is going on. This is my 2 cents.

Based on the zentalk forums, I had a suspicion it has something to do with the charging controller chip on the phone. So I adventurously tried the magisk "advanced charging controller" module. After a few minutes of installation, boom. The phone froze and then ramdump. It was plugged into the PC (for adb) and was charging. I did a hard 20s reset and it went away, rebooted back into good old LineageOS again.

My advice: Stay away from cheap chargers or high current chargers, even the one from Asus. I suspect it may be causing the chip to switch to high current charging mode, and something burns out. I doubt everyone is in the same QC issue boat (I do still think this is a rare problem), but dont risk it if this is your daily driver. Get a good old "slow", low current charger (1-2 Amps) from the last generation of phones and stick with that.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Blumi511:
Thanks for the advice. Actually put that up as a single thread maybe? There are lots of people who could learn sth from that
[ASUS ZenFone 8] qb74:
Lovely to hear this finding!

I've been considering buying a small, 120hz flagship phone and the ramdump issue was hindering me from getting it.

Any recommendations which charger to buy? Do you perhaps own the equipment to test if this is the case and find precise amps needed for a brick (and what exactly it bricks first?)

Iirc, ramdump doesn't seem to specifically be related to one particular issue for all devices (it apparently varies from device to device, as I've seen people mention their phones just dying while using it) so is there any way you could find someone who has a ramdumped phone to verify these findings? I'd love reading an expansion of this topic, in a separate thread! Thank you!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] modpunk:
Interesting. Would be nice if you could download the ramdump and extract the kernel logs.

However the device normally checks the battery health to prevent it from overheating and reduces the charging current. I've fixed checking the battery status, see https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_asus_sake/+/316995
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Meepaco:
ACC causes ramdump when it reaches the stop charging %. I don't think the kernel supports it much, it doesn't detect any charging switches for whatever reason.

I should also say: Device has finicky behavior while charging. There is a continuous very high pitched sound coil whine while charging plugged it into a tabletop lamp. Plugged into a 12w adapter there is a pulse of this same sound before going silent. (Have not tried oem brick.) Sound seems to be coming from the adapter. No other device causes this.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] vishnu350:
Any idea which partition would the ramdump log be in? If you can point the path to me, maybe ill try to pull it out from recovery mode? When it happened I instinctively pulled out the USB cable and held the power button down, without thinking about eventually posting it here. Sorry. I didn't want to risk anything so I went to recovery and wipe+reflashed LineageOS.

I think the battery was 100%, and the phone was cold, not even barely warm. No sim/radio, GPS/bluetooth/nfc disabled, no Gapps, almost zero apps installed. Even the screen brightness was set to low. Only WiFi, magisk, and maybe the default browser was open. It was a fresh LineageOS install. So the only reasonable conclusion is the Magisk ACC module script did something to directly/indirectly induce the ramdump.

In the Zentalk forums, most of the guys who RMA the phone got the motherboard PCB replaced, with not much explanation from Asus. The best explanation was one guy who was told that there was something wrong with the USB charging port. Also, there seem to be a couple of guys with working phones who have charging issues with aftermarket high amp chargers.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] modpunk:
1) I can confirm that roaming doesn't work. I will look into it.

2) What kind of DNS server did you use, just a normal one? DoH DoT?

3) There is no way that you can change it in Settings, maybe worth to open a LineageOS feature request.

4) The AOD brightness is a fixed value, there is no way to change it.

5) I don't think Andorid is designed here that you mount these partitions RW at all. Normally you have dm-verity which would stop booting as soon as you modify anything on the partition.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] modpunk:
Actually, would it be possible to get logcat from a data roaming which doesn't work. I wonder if this is property issue or an AVC denial.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] vishnu350:
1) Will work on a logcat for you with a roaming sim toggled on/off. Will pm when I get something.

2) I was trying with DoH. But I think for some reason Lineage doesn't pick the correct APN, selecting it manually in the network settings solved the issue.

4) I found one way. AOD brightness seems to be same throughout, except when the screen brightness goes all the way to 0: settings put system screen_brightness 0

When it is 0, the AOD brightness is somewhat dim. Anything higher than this and AOD reverts back to its usual brightness.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Fatso:
Any idea how to force Google Pay to work with Lineage?

Ok, and a little feedback from my side.

After google backup recovery, system was crashing every time i've connected phone to the charger - it was no difference if it was wall charger of cable to computer/android auto. Ram Dump every time, and every time stuck in Ram Dump.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] thatguy222:
Has anyone had success with Reading Mode? Setting can be turned on but grayscale is not activated.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] jaalai:
I just had a ramdump and was able to reproduce it: last nightly, hotpost ON, LTE, not charging the phone, downloading a big file on my Windows PC at around 3 Mo/sec. After several minutes => ramdump. Did that already 3 times, exact same behavior. (no logcat sorry !)
