Stable for battery as well?

After playing with Lineage 19.1 on A12, i noticed the default keyboard with rumble/hepatics disabled will till be activated. I downloaded Gboard and thankfully it's removed.

The battery life is definitely affected, drains much quicker.

The GPS isn't as accurate (or slower per se)

It doesn't have an "always-on display" option, but whenever I touch/move it it will light up and I can't find any options to turn that off.

After restarting the phone sometimes the background image doesn't fill the entire screen, the top third is gone. Returns after entering the phone.

Not all that big of a deal, just the battery is the main concern.

FYI, how would I go about downgrading to A11? Do I just reformat and enter recovery and flash Lineage A11 version?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MarSOnEarth:
The GSI I've been using (OctaviOS) has been great

I'm also a happy camper with GPS performance

Not a problem here

Yes, simple as that, if you don't care about preserving your data. My "workflow" for trying new firmware is: backup -> flash -> extract boot image (termux) -> root (Magisk) -> restore. SwiftBackup has served me well. BTW, I haven't had much experience with Lineage builds but so far it looks like for A13 that will be the way forward for 'mata'.

@npjohnson

Hi,

I can't find the final 19.1 unofficial release on https://github.com/ods-releases/mata/releases nor https://updater.oddsolutions.us/#/devices/mata/builds

Could you point to me to the latest final 19.1 unofficial release? much appreciated, thank you!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
Please keep this thread to LineageOS ;)

I don't have any, sorry.

Had to clean off the GitHub to prevent using too much space.

Got a strange bug - when I restart my phone, it thinks it's close to midnight (that's the time that appears on the status bar). Then a few seconds after that, it sets the correct time.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] andril:
hope an official comes out of this
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
It's really just pending the final maintainers sign off
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] malerocks:
Apologies, I don't intend to offend in any way but curiosity is getting the better of me, so I have to ask.

I have been checking the list of devices on the lineage site and pretty much all devices that could move to v20 have officially started receiving lineage v20 builds. Most of the devices that haven't are either ones that are stuck at v18.1 or their maintainer has abandoned it (e.g. the Sony XA2 devices does not have a maintainer anymore to take it to v20).

There also haven't been any updates to the v19 branch for a couple of weeks now, assumingly because all focus is on v20.

Is there a major issue with Mata that is preventing it from been approved for the official builds? Do you think there is a chance official will come or we should be using the unofficial builds only?

Again, I really don't intend to cause any offence for the work you and the other maintainers do but I would just like to understand.

Thanks again!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
19 is still just a supported, and we still merge things there, you're wrong about that.

From the mata perspective though, it has been ready to ship for some time, we are just waiting on the final maintainers sign off. That's really all I have to say on the matter.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] malerocks:
Thank you

For v19, what I meant was if I go to the list of changes on the device page for a device like Mata, there aren't any changes listed post the end of February. I assumed that meant there aren't any been saved.

Will wait for it to go live.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
_end of February_ - it is literally 13 days after the end of february lol - if changes aren't needed they aren't needed haah.

Dont worry, isn't a deal breaker.

I'll try the official build when it comes out, thanks.

Same happened to me, however, I was using a wall craft wallpaper, what I did is I went to photos, choose a random picture select as wallpaper, deleted wall craft and then I went back to settings wallpaper and style and everything as normal.

I am actually surprised with the quality of the rom I must say I've tried many roms before and this is maybe the only that so far hasn't given me glitches while playing genshin impact which is a high resource game.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lasuazo:
WhatsApp voice notes, no audio. Anyone else experienced this?

Edit: maybe a weird glitch or bug it's working fine now

Looking into it.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jeddy877:
Man. What a nice, smooth, and solid ROM and thank you so much for using the new pixel launcher for the stock launcher. Like everyone else, I've only noticed minor things...ie weather on desktop time/date and the Wallpapers/Styles crashing upon launch. I haven't had the error message others have mentioned. What a great job. Will be donating.

Hi, this is a really cool ROM! Thanks for this.

Just wanted to say that the Clock app keeps crashing. Wondering how I can fix that.

Cheers!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
Sounds like you installed Google Clock, and not sure how to help you with that.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] scouser09:
So it's the app that came with the ROM. I can't uninstall it as well. But the other Google apps work fine, so was wondering what was the issue with this clock app. It's a minor issue though.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
uhhh it opens fine here?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] scouser09:
I uninstalled the Clock app (it went back to factory settings) via Settings -> Storage -> Free up space -> Browse -> Apps and it now opens normally.

I do see an update via Google play but that fails. But it's a clock app, factory default works for me. Thanks for your help

Monthly.

Officials coming in the next few weeks.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] exillity:
First of all thank you guys for your great work!

If I will upgrade from the official Lineage OS to this unofficial yet build should I do full wipe? And then when official Lineage OS coming out should do full wipe or just install normally the official build?

Will official build replace unofficial or unofficial build will continue updating when official build will be public?

Thank you again!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
Most of the stuff for the official build has been merged, some small pending stuff left and then we can ship. It won't replace it, I'll keep building the unofficial, enjoy whichever you want

I just flashed the official nightly build that was just uploaded.

It's working great, very smooth!

Thanks and respect to all the maintainers for their contribution.

However, there is one problem. Vulkan is not working in the app.

This is a problem that has been going on since LOS 18.1 as far as I know, and is solved by replacing the GPU driver with a different version using the Magisk module (see: https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/3906 ). Is it possible to solve this problem on the LOS side?

Or is this problem only happening on my device?

Of course, I have wipe and clean installed both LOS 18.1 and 19.1.

Also, the above workaround with the Magisk module seems to work for 19.1 as well.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] moichman:
hey,

i have 18.1, currently, and will be doing the upgrade to 19.1. i have just a couple of questions:

-i plan on backing up the things i don't want to lose, but if everything goes well should the currently installed apps, pictures, and downloads survive the upgrade?

-with 18.1, i believe only mindthegapps worked. the upgrade page doesn't specify, but is it still only mindthegapps or will opengapps work, too?

thanks!

(i should have dug before i posted. i just saw that mindthegapps works with los 19.1

https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps )

Are you having problems with the swipe to unlock? It is not as smooth like the previous version, I literally have to swipe from the very bottom to the very top to show me the keys to enter my pin
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
I've noticed this but am unsure why.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AIndoria:
hm, I'm assuming System Intelligence is finally fixed in the official builds?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
yup, and fixed in unofficial
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] IronRoo:
Yes, the long swipe required is the only thing that is a bit of a pain, at least tapping notifications is a kinda workaround.

Bug: Have also noticed one small bug, in that the Quick Pulldown is not working when set to the left hand side, but works fine if the right hand side is set as the quick pulldown option.

Also it seems my emergancy contact phone numbers were wiped so no emergency information available from lockscreen,.

Everthing else seems great, thanks for maintaining for our phones!

(PS. One issue I am having is when I go into underground garage (so no signal) I'm not being reconnected to network when back above ground, which seems to be related to using a VPN, so maybe not ROM related, I need to investigate. Would reconnect automatically on 18.1)

Edit: One unexpected benefit seems to be noticable better battery life, though only used for a couple of days, so hard to tell, but all my usual apps have been used.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AIndoria:
One more question before the upgrade/reinstall and I shall be out of your hair, I promise.

So, the unofficial build says "Pixel Goodies." What are those goodies? I'm assuming it means stuff like "Hold for me", "Call screening" etc from Pixel? Does it also include the Now "Listening equivalent" for example too? What else do those goodies consist of?

As always, ty for the updates.

[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] IronRoo:
Just run some tests, (using my highly advanced Faraday cage, a cooking pot with metal lid 😂). Above reconnection problem is related to some conflict between the VPN app & network connection not working well together, though it will reconnect automatically sometimes, but not always.

Testing with VPN switched OFF seems fine as it always reconnects (tested 5x). (using Proton VPN)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fearvier:
Is there any way I can install this on the Official LineageOS variant, maybe with something akin to magisk or some such?

Or do I have to go in and manually modify the files? I know I can just install the unofficial build but I'm just curious if it's a possible way for me to do it.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
Nah. Can't do either of those. These are build time.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] brochacholibre:
Thank you so much for your work on the ROM! I'm using the official build of it without any mods or GAPPs on my daily driver PH-1, but it seems VoLTE and visual voicemail aren't working for me, either after upgrade from 18.1 or with a fresh install. LTE is fine but there's no switch for VoLTE in mobile settings and I can't do HD calls. I'm on Verizon.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fearvier:
I'm on Verizon too and there's an option for me to do VOLTE in Mobile data settings.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] malerocks:
I have installed the LineageOS 19 builds on 2 separate phones (including Mata) and both face a common problem - I can't get Google calendar to sync unless I install the Google calendar app (which was never a issue in the past). Are any of you facing the issue as well?

My assumption is that LineageOS isn't to blame, rather it might be an issue with Gapps (I am using mindthegapps).
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] brochacholibre:
No word yet on visual voicemail, but I solved the VoLTE problem. Idk how it happened but the little switch for VoLTE was switched off in the mobile configuration secret menu from the dialer. I switched it on and VoLTE is working as expected.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AIndoria:
Can confirm, Verizon, VOLTE is enabled.

So I installed it(official), and I don't see android system intelligence anywhere. Isn't it com.google.android.as? I also don't get any of the text selection from recent-apps-list features etc, which I think rely on system intelligence?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fearvier:
Yeah I can't see Android System Intelligence anywhere either by default. @npjohnson was this fixed in official or just removed so it doesn't affect anything else? Is this the same in unofficial or does that build have a working variant that exists?

Edit: I've installed System Intelligence manually via APKMirror (May 18 Pixel 5 version), and moved it to system/priv via Terminal Systemizer module, and after a reboot I do see the Live Caption/Now Playing Settings in the Settings -> Sound menu, but they don't do anything. I am unable to enable the Live Captions, since it says Download is required, and the 40Mb download just fails.

So I guess the question remains if this works in unofficial due to Official not having Google-reliant apps by default, or if it is just bonkered on both.

I did my 1st OTA today after installing this ROM. Took almost an hour to install after the download finished. Is this normal?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MuddyDog:
I had a similar slow update experience last week.

Today, I set the Updater Preferences to "Prioritize update process" and I plugged in the charger. The whole process (including download time, and ending with the "reboot" prompt) took less than 15 minutes.

I don't have a comparison of "Prioritize update process" without the charger being plugged in.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] malerocks:
Thanks. My phone was plugged in as well. I didn't have prioritise update as switched on. Still took about an hour.

Three dot menu in updater, "prioritize update process"
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] malerocks:
Thanks. Aware of that setting. Didn't mind it taking an hour. Just wanted to check if that's expected or issue somehow at my end as it didn't take that long in 18.1 even with the setting off.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sso003:
Your VPN probably has a network killswitch enabled on disconnect.

So when you lose connection, the VPN app kills all network activity until presumably you manually reconnect the VPN? This is speculation based on my experience with VPNs. Check your proton VPN app for a killswitch toggle.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] IronRoo:
Thanks for reply

Correct, however I did have VPN set to "always on", which prevously worked fine on 18.1, maybe I just didn't give it enough time to reconnect as playing with "new" phone, oh well, at least since the OTA update (took about 45mins) on Monday it seems fine 🤞, probably just luck though.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] llfbandit:
Discovered an issue with telephony. When the correspondant does NOT talk, I get instead loud noisy sound (so only in silence moments). This not immediately discoverable, I'd say when reaching the first minute.

Another one, which was already there in los 18, is the loud speaker volume which does nothing during a call.

Thanks for the great work and the continuous support of this device!

Pretty sure MindtheGapps doesn't include anythign to do with system intelligence? I will have to flash other Gapps for this, correct? (I just would like the hold for me/call screening to work right lol)

Also, I was checking out the previous questions regarding this and I noticed the https://github.com/npjohnson/android_vendor_google_pixel 404s out. Has it moved to this https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_google/ or is this a separate thing?

Lock screen swipe is fixed on latest release ✌️, no more long swiping required! Great work Nolan. Also install & booting took the normal amount of time, maybe just the 1st OTA update after flashing took a long time, or Nolan fixed that as well.
