4a LineageOS 21 Update 2024-04-18 - Security Bump

Using the built-in Updater, I OTA-updated Pixel 4a (Google Ed) LineageOS 21 sunfish build 2024-02-29 to build 2024-04-18. I have no GApps, no custom-kernel, and Magisk is not installed.

The install took a shockingly small amount of time. (less than 2min ???)

There are a TON of changes as you can see here.

Aperture: I've avoided use of LOS' camera app because of the 16:9 preview problem.

I noticed this issue in GitLab was closed. Should I open a new one for sunfish/LOS21 ?

UPDATE: I didn't create an issue because I figure they're pretty busy these days. :)

After the reboot, I went to Settings->About phone->"Android version".

The "Android security update" now shows "April 5, 2024".

The Vendor security patch level (just below) remains "September 5, 2023".

The Build number at the bottom is now "AP1A.240405.002".

The Baseband remains "g7150-00112-230505-B-10075601".

See Android Security Bulletin - April 2024 for details about the security fixes.

I rebooted to recovery to verify that it was also updated. It now shows version "20240418" and active slot 'b'.

Thank you to the Lineage Team, PeterCxy, cdesai, & mikeioannina (listed as maintainers) for their work.

[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] scruffy1:
a brief note of thanks to the team for lineage 21 for the 4a

because australia is due to move exclusively to VoLTE at the end of august, my trusty 1+ 5t will unfortunately become useless for telephony (despite being perfectly capable hardware wise to implement it, but "unsupported" :rolleyes: ) - thus my move to the pretty equivalent pixel

just wanted to confirm that a new install as per instructions from stock android 13, using current gapps (MindTheGapps-14.0.0-arm64-20240225_232108.zip) was smooth and successful

great work!
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] scruffy1:
not sure if here is the spot to ask, but i note that on the 5t under "charging control" i have the option of "limit charging" which allows me to bring the battery up to a defined % of full and then it ceases to add electrons

the pixel 4a has auto and custom schedule (as does the 5t additionally), but the limit charging is absent

is this a function of the battery arrangements in each phone, or is it a feature that could be added? i wonder, because the information in the 5t doesn't list charging cycles, whereas the 4a does

i love not pumping the battery full for longevity - over 2.5 years using the 5t as my daily driver (but i am not on the phone all day) the battery sits at 100% capacity on the info screen, which is excellent

thanks for any inside knowledge
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] wireroot:
Whoa, so there are countries with an even worse decision policy regarding mobile / cellular communication technology with not even 2G being offered as voice fallback after the shutdown of 3G (with the drawback of worse voice quality, so no AMR-WB)?

The downside is, that even though the phone's hardware and software supports VoLTE, the actual functioning is dependent on the mobile operators providing their VoLTE / IMS configuration profile to Google, so that Google integrates it into Android to actually enable VoLTE for this specific provider in this specific country.

This is one of the few areas where iOS is superior / more user-friendly because it automatically offers a fallback option to a default profile in case of a missing carrier-specific profile.

There is a patch on GitHub Pixel IMS: Enable VoLTE on Tensor Pixel devices from kyujin-cho for solving this problem yourself without being dependent on the dysfunctional cooperation between Google and the mobile service provider. Unfortunately, the patch does not support devices older than the Pixel 6 without the Tensor chip / SoC.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] scruffy1:
next question - i have a notification that seedvault is running, and i didn't even know it was a thing... and it is happily doing a backup to... somewhere?

is this really just the los equivalent of "cloud backup" for google?

do i leave it unmolested? should i want or need to change anything?
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] wireroot:
My understanding is that this is a feature that device manufacturers implement for their specifically modified Android version.

Just to be sure that I understand you correctly:

When you say "the battery sits at 100%" do you really mean the battery health or the maximum charging percentage e.g. displayed in the status bar?

Even when treating your battery very nicely, a battery health status of 100% after several years of use is impossible as every Li-ion battery degrades with every charging cycle. The more it is outside of it's "comfortable" temperature range while charging, the faster the degradation happens.

I am questioning the number as my Pixel has about 400 full charging cycles and only 85% battery health (max. capacity) with the battery being treated very nicely by charging slowly (only warm, not hot temperatures) and manually cutting of charging below 85%.

My manual battery care:

battery charge <85% for 90% of the time since purchase

battery charge >30% for 95% of the time since purchase

Yes, I am also missing an auto-terminate charging feature that works without root and is not this very limited AOSP feature of only working when charging at night being dependent on the alarm clock.

Update 2024-06-02:

clarified wording regarding battery health of "100%"
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DiamondJohn:
I am not sure what you mean by "Sits on 100%..." I have two 4a's and they both always charge to 100%, however, they take shorter to totally discharge.

HOWEVER, one thing I have noted for some time, if I charge it to 100%, it will sit on 100% a lot longer than it sits on any other %. I think it charges beyond the measuring circuit of 100%, so takes longer for the measuring circuit to note that it has fallen to 99%

Are you saying charging to 100$% is impossible? I have had many devices over many years, and held on to them beyond the life of their batteries. ALL of them would charge to 100%, they would just head to 0% very quickly, as the battery reached reached end of life.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] wireroot:
No, which is why I just rephrased my statement even though it should be clear for the context of battery health / capacity degradation.

"academic discussion statement" 🤓

Theoretically actually yes. Even charging up to the "real" 100% of a battery's chemical / physical maximum capacity is impossible for consumers / users of a phone, as every manufacturer implements safety mechanism which stop charging at 90% (random value chosen by me) of the absolute chemical / physical upper limit and state that this is the 100% of the possible mAh or Wh
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DiamondJohn:
100% is a proportional measurement of the maximum value that the battery can CURRENTLY hold as CACULATED by the device. It is NOT a measurement of the capacity as compared to the original build / design, and hence, 100% is basically what a battery is charged too. The fact that the 100% is not the same mAh as it was when the battery left the factory is a different measurement. You are trying to translate what the device is explicitly telling you, to what you believe it should be telling you via single piece of data. In the background, there are also battery health reports, which will help inform you that the battery is not what it used to be; ie Excellent, Good, Poor, Bad: Mine is on "Good", but it is less than what I would call good, and its not from the report below.

As an example, there is a ton of battery state infio under /sys/class/power_supply/battery/* Reading the % on its own, only gives you the % of the max currently available, as determined by the system (ie may not be real as its the physical / chemical to digital)

[General Questions and Answers] buddy66:
Hello,

I am looking for a way to better control the notifications on my phone but without root. I am not looking for one particular option from GravityBox which is to set a time frame in which the phone will not repeat a notification sound or vibration if an app wants to do it in that particular time frame more than one time.

An example for it will be if there is a person who sends you 6 messages one after another in a short period of time or likes 6 posts that you have sent them via Instagram. All 6 notifications will be played back and shown on the phone which is kinda irritating. Do you know any alternative that could achieve this without rooting?

Thank you

Hello! Sorry to bother you again, but I have a question about ads/publicity in the device.

A month or two ago I had oxigen 11, everything was working just fine, no ads, no problem at all.

But I made the mistake of update to 12. I didn't like it and then I downgrade to oxigen 11 again, only this time the phone has ads everywhere, on YouTube, redit, even the music player or the appstore.

Is there a way to remove ads? Using another rom or system? I know I can't remove ads from some apps, but is there a ad blocker on the phone or something like that?

For YouTube I was using vanced but they abandoned the project :(

I hope you can give me some advice about this!

[Moto G 5G Plus Questions & Answers] Galen10:
My Moto g 5G plus , running Android 11, gives the notification sound (but not a message) just after I make a change to an entry in Contacts. It may do it elsewhere after writing to disk, but I haven't noticed that - I noticed in Contacts because I was using it a lot recently. It's quite annoying and I want to stop it - but despite a long search and a few changes under notifications I can't find how to block it. I didn't notice it until recently so It may have resulted from an update - otherwise I might have inadvertently changed something.

Any ideas what is is and how to be rid of it, please?
