Hey, since like yesterday pixel experience website says that this rom was discontinued and is deprecated. Does it mean it will be no longer supported or will this go away? I am asking since nobody else mentioned it and posted regular issues like it is still in development. Thank you for the amazing rom

I cant tranfer file from pc to my phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] arusw21wieku:
I bet you used TWRP to flash, did I get it?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] filuuu:
I think it might be because it lost a maintainer?

AaradhayVijay can you elaborate?​
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] sushi3003:
Hi, I saw that the rom is deprecated. Is that the end for this device? Sadly I just wanted to move to this rom.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] arusw21wieku:
I think 2 weeks ago it also showed that there is no guardian. After a few days, the guardian showed up again, and now again that there is no guardian. I guess there are some issues with them on the site.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] danc.940:
I have just moved to this ROM today. I really hope it's not going to be depreciated as it works great
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] KTr1sk:
I tested a few A13 aosp and they all had some sort of freezing problem with a camera is it possible that custom rom Android 12 does not have these problems?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] filuuu:
A13 roms have this issues from the start. I used various A12 roms and there was no problem with the camera, so go for it if you want a smooth camera experience
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] jonnyd7:
I've been using that gcam version you linked earlier. Does anyone know if there is a glitch on the timelapse not being able to output a video longer than 12 seconds? I tried looking in the advanced settings but I could not fix it. Tried googling and came up empty, wondering if there's a place to look or if I should just try a different version
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] filuuu:
I have never used timelapse.. maybe try using different version of gcam (especially stable recent releases) from https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] danc.940:
The ROM is showing stable now on their website

Aaradhay Vijay is back as a maintainer. I hope camera issues will be resolved with the next update. Its getting super annoying. Whatsapp / messenger any other app that takes pics is freezing on camera almost every time :(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AaradhayVijay:
Nothing. That was a temporary problem. I'm the only maintainer.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AaradhayVijay:
Will do something about it. Moreover it's a common issue on all Xiaomi Sdm660 devices.

It will be resolved asap.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AaradhayVijay:
It's supported. That was a temporary problem on my side.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AaradhayVijay:
Yeah sure.

Maybe the normal version is more responsive?

A13 Has some issues (camera) on phones with snapdragon 660. Other A13 bring similar experience. We have to wait on a fix on the next release hopefully
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] riajull:
Latest build is almost perfect. Using PE 13 from beta. The only problem is camera. Waiting for the camera fix. Thanks to all devs.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Mr.Nexus:
I'm testing this last rom!

Well, its power management is very good, better than MIUI 12 Stock. Even with a battery at 70~80% of its lifespan (I'm going to buy a new one from nohon), it's lasting more than 1 easy day!

Believe it or not, it's better than the A13 Stock for Galaxy A71, custom rom is life!

The only bug I have to complain about is the camera crashing sometimes!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AaradhayVijay:
Camera will be fixed soon. Thanks for the feedback.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] RevengeFNF:

You are telling me, after waiting a whole YEAR for roms, there's a basically a bugless one. Better go flashing! (volte and vowifi isn't available in my country)
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tarkzim:
Yes, A nice device deserved a nice development environment!
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
I know, this device is VERY underrated by the modding community, my phone is fast and the battery is great... I bought it for the 750G and the 5000 mAh battery and I don't regret it. It's just that I only have the 4 GB ram model.
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tarkzim:
FYI, I will release another build for more stable fingerprint support and newer kernel version soon.
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
I mean... as long as it works it works! I also can enter my pin everytime, I do it sometimes on stock too!
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Simon1511:

[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tarkzim:
Actually I have the same model as yours, A426B Dual SIM, but RIL SEEMS fine on mine, this is really weird.

For logs, those are not enough and can you try to grab the full logs and attach as file or pastebin links?

Thanks.

EDIT: It can't make a outgoing call with my expired SIM, will try with another SIM later.

Also, is SIM card detected and showing baseband version on About Phone?

@awesomellama3
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
Mine was expired too, lol sorry for the confusion... I'll try again now that it's working.

By the way your work is AMAZING! I love how every 3/4 days you update it over and over to make it more stable, if there wasn't a beta writing in the title I wouldn't have thought this was unstable.
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tarkzim:
Can you send some screenshots for RIL related stuff?

I just tried with my main SIM card and seems like it doesn't work lol.
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
I'm reflashing the rom, so if RIL works then I will have 4G access in the setup
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
Messages not sending, phone calls not going through saying I need to disable airplane mode which is off and mobile data not loading anything
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tarkzim:
Okay, so RIL is dead, I've noticed it here, will try to fix it.

Sorry for inconvenient.
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
No worries, take your time. I will use stock for now...

Except for the different pixels of the screen, everything else is the same as the A42.

Can my phone use this rom?

[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] TheRealOne78:
Hi.

I am looking forward to install LineageOS in my A42 5G, but as I can see this ROM is still under construction, missing some RIL features like LTE and SMS.

So my question is, if I will install LineageOS now, (if) after there will a new update that will also solve the RIL issue, will I be able to update LineageOS dirrectly without loosing any data or will I have to re-flash everything?

As you can probably tell, I am not very familliar with custom ROMs, especially LineageOS and I don't want to flash LineageOS more than 1 time.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] screwdriv:
Might be a dumb question, but what is RIL?
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ahessels:
Simply said: everything a SIM card lets you do (calling, texting and cellular data).
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ahessels:
Just tested the ROM on my Galaxy A42 and apart from the RIL that is not working this ROM is stable and amazing. Thanks for your amazing work!!
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Bidino:
I would love to use this ROM on my daily, only if the the LTE and SMS are going to be resolved. Great work!
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Tin2233:

[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ahessels:

I have OneUI 5 already installed, can i proceed with the same steps?
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Dam:):
Please, make a LineageOS 20.0 for this phone ♡
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] KenHoo:
It is quite complicated for A42. Samsung has stopped both model A426B/0 the system update support and their newest version are 12 which is One UI 4.1. However the model A426N/U can update to 13 One UI 5. So, depends on which model you have. I think this custom rom is for model A426B and A4260 only.
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Dam:):
SM-A426U
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] KenHoo:
Then I don't think that this custom rom is suitable for your device🥲.
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Bidino:
I didn't find one single information online about what you are saying, that a426B will not get the update to OneUI 5. I am missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] KenHoo:
You can search 'A426B notify update' on Google... A42 is not included in the three year system update list. A426B and A4260 start-up version is Android 10 One UI 2.5, which Android 12 would be the last system update for A426B and A4260. A426U/N can get Android 13 because their start-up version is Android 11 One UI 3.1.
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] KenHoo:
I have flashed the rom a few days ago, keep in mind that Wi-Fi and Sim card detection is not working for the A4260 model. This means you can't open Wi-Fi and Sim card can't be detected (mainly because this rom is for A426B). So if you own an A4260 model and want to flash this A42 rom, please be sure that you can accept these issues. ;)

> VoLTE / VoWiFi (Samsung's implementation not gonna work on AOSP)

I see that VoLTE does not work. Does that mean that if I flash this ROM, I will not be able to make phone calls?
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tarkzim:
If your operator is VoLTE only, then sadly yes you can't make phone calls.

This sucks on every Samsung device with AOSP ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy A42 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] TheRealOne78:

I would like to modify the notification panel a bit.

I use a custom Rom, and are able to compile it my self (done it already), but never really changed anything.

Since I looked at some code, I would guess that I have to tinker around with xml files.

My Problem, where do I find them(to change the notification panel, directory would be helpful).

Are there other things I have to look out for when changing them(like file size, editing make files, etc.)

View attachment 5664281

1. Making the grey background transparent

2.Only if I am able to, but I think that it would look better with the curves following the blue line.

3. I do not have a camera there, so it's unused space.

[Touch Cruise General] davidklong:
I have been having some really annoying issues with the 3G capabilities of the Touch Cruise. I actually think it is something AT&T is doing on the network, but can't be sure. Anyone experience anything like this? Here are the symptoms:

1. The TC worked great on the 3G network when I first received it. Averaged around 700k speeds.

2. I flew across the state and the phone was unable to make or receive calls. I noticed the 3G/H symbol just fine, but no voice, no data. On a whim, I turned off the 3G and went back to Edge and everything worked fine, slower - but fine. I noticed this behavior on several subsequent trips. Coverage maps show 3G capability.

3. I've been to numerous other cities and experience varying 3G speeds, but the phone definitely works.

4. Lately I've noticed the phone almost seems to experience 3G "fatigue" by the end of the work day. In my home area where it seems to work fine, I'll look at my phone and it will either have no service, or it will not be working on 3G (no calls or e-mail). By later in the evening, it appears to be back to normal.

5. A reset will normally bring things back at least temporarily.

6. I have been trying out new ROM's and Radios posted here, but don't think they are the source of the issues. I've upgraded and downgraded with the same results.

Is this the AT&T network? Could it be with the proliferation of 3G devices, the network becomes saturated particularly by the end of the day?

More importantly, if 3G is for some reason unavailable the phone should degrade gracefully enough to allow it to continue to operate on the Edge network without any interaction by the end user.

Anybody else experiencing this behavior? Any tips? Any resolutions?
[Touch Cruise General] viz1977:
Re:

You could try to fix the GSM and 3g bands in the phone settings from automatic to your specific band. Normally that reduces ur battery usage and provides better network clarity. It might just help.

Secondly you could try the SEA 6.1 official rom as that seems to be one of the best ones so far.

:)
