[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilityguy:
I just bought a OnePlus One from Swappa. The phone has Ubuntu Touch installed and I'd like to replace it with Lineage 18.1. I've got all the requisite files and I've had lots of experience installing Lineage on other phones, but not over Ubuntu which may have repartitioned the phone or replaced firmware important to Lineage. I have found minimal documentation about how to do this migration, mostly covering Nexus devices. I also have no previous images of this phone so I have nothing to fall back on or reinstall from, other than standard system software.

Has anyone done this on a One? I'd like to hear from someone who has actually had experience - I can make educated guesses but I really don't want to brick this phone.

Thanks in advance.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiFiBanana:
This is how i did it with my oneplus 3 :

Use the UBinstaller (from ubuntu touch) to put the stockrom back on. I used Linux for this, didn't work for me in Windows (phone wasn't detected)

Then you can go easily to LineageOS

Let us how it worked out.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mumblefratz:
I have one specific app that I'd like to keep but it won't auto-rotate like all the other apps and insists on being "upside down" with no in-app way to change it. All my other apps have no issue following the system auto-rotate. I have done a cursory net search and found a handful of "rotation managers" that claim to do this. I'd prefer an ADB solution but if a rotation manager is the only way to fix this can anyone recommend something for me?

Note that I will not install any app on my device that requires google play store or google play services to operate which does limit my options somewhat.

BTW thanks for all the help so far and into the future.

it should still work on the EDGE network
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] str8g1:
From my understanding it will work with GPRS, Edge, and 3g so you shouldn't have any problems bro :) by the way I understand the concern.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
With a 1150ma battery, GPS, "big" screen etc, 3G will just drain the battery even quicker.

I will not worry about 3G until an extended battery is released- and the fact that 3G will not be in my market for a year of so.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black93300ZX:
Time for a lesson on GPS... It uses satellites in the sky, and you need a view of a certain amount of satellites to find your location (4 will find you but not very accurately, the more the better). If you're in a building, and not right next to a window, no GPS will ever find your location, ever. That's like asking if your internet will work if the ethernet cable is unplugged from the back of your computer and you don't have wifi, it goes against the entire idea of how it functions.

Now, as for the quality of the HTC GPS receiver... People have complained about GPS lag, but I maintain my opinion that it's completely software related, my Fuze had none whatsoever. You don't need to be in sunlight, just have enough clear sky that it can get a reading from the satellites. I've taken trips with the Fuze even on very cloudy days and it took a little longer to get a lock (5-10 mins, it locks in like 30 seconds to a minute with clear skies) but once it had my position, it stayed true. All of the upcoming HTC devices use A-GPS, by the way. Diamond, Touch Pro, Xperia, G1...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black93300ZX:
He's using the battery draining as an excuse, something to keep him from pulling his hair out because he won't have 3G for another year. Anyone who's used a phone for data features on both networks knows EDGE doesn't hold a candle to 3G.

As for the original post, yes, it will give you all of the same data features on EDGE as on 3G.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chorca:
The big thing with A-GPS is that it's mainly used to increase the startup speed of your GPS. Instead of waiting 10 minutes to download the almanac of the satellites in the sky from the GPS sats, it downloads the data over your data connection, using the basis of which cell site you're connected to for determining your rough location. This way it only takes about 30 seconds to get a fix instead of much longer.

The sensitivity of the GPS on phones has been fairly good as far as i've seen on devices like the Tilt and such, so I don't see why a phone with such a heavy emphasis on location-based apps would have a sub-par GPS setup. Here's hoping things work well.

3g doesnt burn that much battery unless your using it constantly like as a primary internet for your computer. also when you put your phone in sleep mode it isnt runnig in the background
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black93300ZX:
Exactly... But when you're without 3G, I guess you try to justify why it's not as good, and that's what he came up with. It's like everything though, people on here try to justify why the iPhone isn't as good as the Diamond/Touch Pro, truth be told it's better in many aspects but comes short in many as well.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagentooboy:
I choose D... all of the above :D

No... it will not work out of the box.

Yes/maybe... it should work someday soon unless HTC/T-Mobile have somehow disabled that ability in hardware.

As soon as I get the phone I will be working on it on the Linux side (not an actual internet sharing app... more of a route/iptables script) and I am sure someone will work on a java solution (although a kernel solution would be faster). There was an application for the iPhone that provided internet sharing but it was banned from apple store :D and Google has said they won't do that so I think it should be here soon.

I got my wifi to work. It was my routers fault. What I did was in went into my routers settings by typing 192.168.1.1 and entered 'admin' (no quotes) and no password. Once in my settings I changed my brocasting type from b&g mixed to all mixed changed frequency to auto, changed network key from shared to open and wifi started working. I don't know if all those steps were neccesary but it worked for me. Hope it works for some else.

As for the 3g it seems to be getting better
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewernxc:
for those of you with the 3g/edge switching problem...

Hey, if uve got the 3g switching to edge back and forth continuously, its likely because you didnt get a new SIM card when u got the g1. It simply means you have an old SIM card that doesnt support 3g well, call tmobile up tell them your situation, theyve given most people a free new SIM card thats more compatible.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkzanyj:
I don't think that's the case. I've had the same SIM card since 2000, no problems like this. If any SIM is too old to support 3G, I'd think one made 8 years ago would definitely be the case.

It sounds like he's in a bad coverage area, which could be lots of things. There is a coverage map on the T-Mo website, don't know if it shows 3G. Or it could be the building he's in. My phones have never worked at my grandmother's house. I get full bars on the front porch, and full bars the second I get out the back door, but no signal in the house itself. Even relatives on other networks get little to no coverage inside the house. Probably the really really old insulation and building materials are blocking the signal. At my last apartment I only had a good signal on the corner of my bed, and that disappeared when new neighbors moved in upstairs.

These are radio waves, which aren't foolproof or perfect, they encounter all kinds of interference. Nothings going to be as secure and consistant as a wired connection. Nature of the beast, unfortunately.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valicore:
Careful dude, with the security set to open anyone within range (neighbors, wardrivers, etc.) can use your wifi to get on the internet. Try using WPA or WPA2 security, but leaving it all mixed and frequency at auto.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syrusfrost:
Have a 6 year old sim card, my 3g works fine in 3g areas. There is no "3g" sim card, these things aren't more or less compatible... The sim card has remained basically the same over the years aside from more space being added for contact and sms storage. The string used for subscriber identification has NOT evolved.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valicore:
To elaborate on that, the majority of companies in Europe DO require a new sim (called a USIM) for 3G, but it is not very utilized in the Americas.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haitiankid4lyf:
I live in a fairly safe area (that's what I think) but I will still try thet. How much more secure is WPA as oppossed to wep?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghackett:
WEP is really only a mild deterrent at this point. It can be successfully cracked in under 60 seconds, even if you use a strong password. You definitely want to go with WPA or WPA2 with as strong a password as possible.

My tip, make the password random and long, write it down and tape it to the bottom of your router.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkzanyj:
Additionally, if you stop having the data plan, you stop having data, period.

I didn't have a data plan on my wing, and every once in awhile I would lose my WiFi signal, and it would try, and try, and try, and try, and try, and try to connect to edge, but couldn't. I don't think T-Mobile lets you connect to data services if you're not already paying for them. I just tried to look up "data overage" while signed in to T-Mobile and it didn't bring back any results.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biolee:
Thank you, but it cannot solve the problem, as selecting of no data roaming and 2G only still cannot stop G1 from connect to EDGE, thus has the potential to cost me money.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biolee:
The problem is that I don't have data plan show in my online account and the representative also said that she cannot find a data plan currently associate with my line. But I can access internet via EDGE as soon as I received the G1.

So I'm not sure how they will charge me during these days, by bits? It is scaring
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biolee:
I adopted an indirect way to do this, as I changed the user name of GPRS internet setting.

The exact location for my setting is:Settings>Wireless controls>Mobile networks>Access Point Names>T-mobile A>User name(Change it to anything rather than default)

Then there is no EDGE signs show up and no internet access through EDGE anymore.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buggybug0:
The safest way is to delete all APN in the settings. i don't remember exactly how to get the those settings but it's in the same menu as "use only 2g", when you are on that menu, go to the last one and it will open up the APN list.

basic idea is if the phones odne'st know where (which server) to connect, it will not establish a data, this is better because it won't even try to connect (and fails after 5 minutes or something), saves you battery.

using 2g only in conjunction with no data when roam, just means that you will be using 2g/EDGE data while you are in the Tmobile coverage area, this does not turn off data, and you will be charged if you don't have a data plan.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buggybug0:
yes this will work for you, but TMobile A is only one of the cellphone towers/server, once you go to another Tmobile 3G area that's hosted by another server, you will get data again. that's why there are so many Tmobile APN's in that list.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biolee:
Yes, I realized this problem, as even for me, the T-mobile A is seems not the only one.

As when I restart the phone, it connect to EDGE again, regardless what part I changed.

But I don't want to delete all the APNs, as maybe I will use them later.

So, any other good ideas?

on 3G I can access email... but not the web or app store... yet all work on WiFi

I'm curious why this would happen?

On my 3G connection I'm connected and my phone received all my emails, synced contacts, and synced my calendar all without any problems. However, if I try to access the web or view the android marketplace the phone just sits there and does nothing. The web browser eventually says it couldn't connect to the site.

But, if I enable WiFi and connect to my network I can access everything with no problem.

Anyone else experience this? It's as if my 3G connection isn't allowing port 80 to be transmitted. This explains why email was able to be received (since email runs on ports other then 80).

Limiting G1 stock to 3G areas was a dumb move

I've been using my G1 on EDGE since I got it, and I assume that many of you guys have been too, given the relatively small 3G coverage area currently available, and the phone works awesomely. The T-Mobile guys suggest that the phone is fine tuned for use on 3G and you won't get the best experience without it, but that hasn't been my experience at all.

EDGE isn't quite as fast as connecting to my WiFi network at home, but it's close enough that I usually don't bother to flip the WiFi switch on when I'm using it to surf the web on my couch.

Of course faster is always better, but this is a truly awesome EDGE phone and T-Mobile is pulling a stupid move suggesting that it isn't worth it without a 3G connection.

You're forgetting the big issue that 3G solves: on edge/gprs, you can't receive a call when data is transferring, and you can't transmit data when you're on a call.

The latter annoys others because their calls will go to voicemail and they will think you or your phone is dead.

The former will annoy you since you can't check something online (maps, email attachment, new emails, etc) when on a call.
