I was using dns.adguard.com. I disable it and it works. At least much better than witn dns private dns.

Dns.adguard.com work super fine on my Oneplus phones since 2015.. till s22u.

Also i uninstall Google's Carrier Services, like our friend say. Don't see much difference for my phone..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nickdlight:
Holy crap - this worked like a charm. I was ready to send it to Samsung to fix. I've tried everything from resetting network settings to a hard reset. Thank you!

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Marcelocohenarg:
So did you identify the problem? Was it Adguard DNS ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
Any private DNS or VPN type service will slow down throughput. The added network overhead those services use is what causes it. Some are better than others. The free ones tend to be the worst, because they either make money from donations or prioritize paying customers over free customers. These services can also affect battery life because it is another background service that is always running.

I use PIA, Private Internet Access. The price is reasonable, and it doesn't slow traffic down that much, nor does it take a huge chunk of my battery life. It made PCMag's top 10 list for 2023. I do not recommend Hotspot Shield VPN. It slowed my traffic to a crawl and cut my battery life by 60%.

Tips & tricks​

Recovery Error 7 when installing

​

If you aim at installing this ROM for the 1st time (e.g. you come from Stock or other Custom ROM), please check this FAQ section in the LineageOS wiki.

Recovery Error 7 when updating this ROM

​

If OTA update fails, try manually sideloading (see OP).

If you see some error like ErrorCode::kInstallDeviceOpenError (7) then do the following:

In Recovery, switch to fastbootd (do not 'reboot to bootloader', really choose the fastboot option in recovery)

Connect your device via USB to your PC and run the following commands:

fastboot delete-logical-partition system_a
fastboot delete-logical-partition system_ext_a
fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a
fastboot delete-logical-partition vendor_a
fastboot delete-logical-partition odm_a
fastboot delete-logical-partition system_b
fastboot delete-logical-partition system_ext_b
fastboot delete-logical-partition product_b
fastboot delete-logical-partition vendor_b
fastboot delete-logical-partition odm_b

Return to recovery from fastbootd mode

Do 'adb sideload' again, it should work now

TTS Engine / Speech service

​

The following is a working option for this device to use Google TTS without big G* spying on you:

Launch Aurora Store and search Google TTS, but DO NOT install

Instead manually download version 210354702 (the most recent version does not work)

Put this app on the ignore list to make sure it won't ever get updated

Enable it in the Settings and download the language files of your choice for offline use

Go to the app settings and disallow any internet connectivity
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
Translation of ported features - help needed​

Whilst the features available in LineageOS are widely translated and those translations obviously will find their way into this build, certain features ported e.g. from GrapheneOS or developed by myself lack a translation and appear only in English or German (I took care about the German translation).

If I don't have anything better to do (ok, just kidding :)), I may consider doing the French translation as well - however, if you want to see certain menu items in Settings also in your own language, please contact me via PM.

Thanks a lot for this Christmas/New Year present !
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] ewong3:
appreciate the work!

just wondered, how difficult is it to approach microg and suggest/incorporate most or all of these sensible privacy features in their main build? would this save you and all users a ton of trouble?
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] nico21311:
Hello MSe1969

For Optional blocking of Facebook- and Google-Tracking

Can you add in the application radarbot and waze in the exception application.

Thanks in advance
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] RayfG:
@MSe1969

Man, you rock and rule the forum!

That is absolutely phantastic. I installed da rom and even the vowifi works fluently.

There aren no isuues. I had to play around with openvpn a while, before it worked, but in the end it's done.

Only in the updater section there is a rom shown off, which could be installed??? I can not delete it, it stays there.

But this is nittykritty.... :-)

A huge huge thank you very very much and a hug. Have a nice start into 2023, you sweetened mine.

Ta, Ray
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
Short answer: Hell, No!

Long answer: Please have a look at this post, which explains the background.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
I assume you mean the 'lineageos4microg' project (as microG itself is the privacy-aware Gapps alternative and they do not provide any Custom ROM builds) - the scope of that project is to simply take LineageOS "as is" and ship it with microG pre-installed. They for sure won't alter their project scope.

There are already similar projects, such as Calyx or /e/, which aim into a similar direction (microG and privacy/security focused with different priorities), or Divest-OS (no microG, but also privacy/security focused) or GrapheneOS (holistic and very strict approach on security/privacy, no microG - many of their innovative features are ported by other projects and devs like me) - these projects are aware of each other.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
:)

Maybe you could also contribute:

If I sent you (e.g. via PM) some text (xml) files with English text strings, and you replace those with a French translation and sent them back, the respective menu entries would appear in one of the next builds in French (instead of English), if you use your phone in French language... ;) - Would that be OK?

@All - see post #5

I am interested in further languages, so everybody willing to support is more than welcome.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] bestouff:
Hey you seemed to want to do the French yourself, I didn't want to steal your work ! 😆

Anyway no problem, I don't have much time but I can make/review some translations.

Safetynet fix on magisk seems to make the phone get stuck on boot every time it is installed
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] nico21311:
Me too I can review it
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] RayfG:
Ok, Gents. I have serious problems with openvpn and my synology. The connection works in the beginning one time. After a disconnection or change of network, it does not reconnect and i have to delete vpn connection completely. I have to disconnect from Internet (mobile and wlan) after i switched it on again i can reestablish the vpn and it works til next switch of networks. I try to get logs from it the next time, the problem occures and i will post it here or the solution, if i could fix it.

"Edit" In addition of that, i do not receive any messages with iptables script and openvpn on with my synology chat.

With lineageosmicrog 18.1on my second phone ist everything ok and all works fine.

Edit number 2..... I have a third phone.... and everything works fine with openvpn and chat.. so it must be an installation failure in Main Software.... I'll reinstall clean again. I will post a statement when done.....

Have a happy new year in several hours. :)
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
This build is hardened, especially kernel hardening, hardened_malloc integrated in bionic / libc. So it may very well be, that specific Magisk modules won't work...
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] ruicardona:
I have no idea what you just told me means but i kinda understood that last part, the stock lineage os also has the same behavior.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
OK, if the Magisk module even does not work with the official LineageOS ROM for this device, it is not related to the hardening features of this specific build. Either way, I don't have a solution for you.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] ruicardona:
Thank you for replying either way!
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] RayfG:
Happy new Year Ladies and Gentleman.

Update to my Openvpn and chat Problems.

I did an new clean flash on my first phone and chat ist registered and all ok with that. Openvpn problems are still there and from today on my 3rd phone suddenly got same problems with openvpn. My wifes phone still on LineagosMicrog hardened 18.1 do no have those probs. My older versions on the other phones neither....

Still search for solution with openvpn last blinkt version.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] nico21311:
Hello

I used open VPN and all work fine for the moment with release 19.1
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] RayfG:
Well. thank you very much for your statement. Perhaps it is due to my new Pihole installation.

I just have reconnect problems after a disconnect... I work on it. I can live with that, but it is not smooth.

But for my wife it is a no go to reconnect every time by hand with removing vpn and start all over again...

i see what i can do on it. perhaps it is a dns problem in my configuration.

All the best,

Ray
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] nico21311:
i use al

I use also pihole.

you need to declare your adress IP vpn like 10.9.0.X in the pihole setup - DNS - Buttom of this sheet - futhermore you need to set correclty interfaces setting in the same page
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] RayfG:
Ahhhh thank you very very much. I appreciate your help here.

Great to have a community like here.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] ewong3:
thank you for the upgrade to 19.1 - not sure why but after flashing the 1229 build, on ota it is showing 1229 available for download again - should we disregard that and wait for the next one?
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
Yes, maybe some issue with the date in the .json file - should be solved when I upload the next update.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
Thanks in advance for your help, I've sent a PM to the two of you (I'll update it with my translation proposal)
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
Translation

Anybody else volunteering ? (E.g. Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, ...)
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] RayfG:
Look after no success that i am not the only one with this failure.

Look here.

https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/5231

I Hope there will be a fix with the nesxt build......
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] old-Silver:
What a great start to 2023 :D (And no sarcasm included)

The fact I could apply this without loosing all my data and settings made it A++

Only two easy issues I had to resolve and they were tiny...

* Update fastboot so the --slot=all was recognised, think I had a stripped down version from way way back.

* Phone settings had lost the configuration to the VPN app I'm using, it was still installed but failed to connect to the tinterballs. Turning VPN always on to OFF then reboot device, allowed the device to connect to the internet and recognise the VPN app. re-enable VPN always on and BOOM no issues at all.

Just awaiting the Dec29 update OTA to finish

Thank you as always MSe1969, may you continue to provide us this awesome ROM

! ! Happy 2023 ! !

Updated, so far looking solid as usual :D

Thank you MSe1969
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] old-Silver:
Is this the first GraphineOS build you have provided? I only ask as I notice a host of changes with the 19.1 build that remind me of the old Pixel 4 I had.

I like that the keyboards and icons are a little bigger (an age thing I think) and the little touches like the phase of pixels that swipe over the screen when you plugin to charge.

Mix all of this with the privacy and security focus and this ROM just keeps getting better and better and I cant thank MSe1969 enough for the work put into providing this :D
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
Thanks for the positive feedback.

The UI is Android 12 - the official LineageOS 19.1 builds looks alike. GrapheneOS btw never changes or extends any UI style/elements.

This is also not a GrapheneOS build, it is a LineageOS build with selected ported patches from GrapheneOS and from other projects like e.g. Divest-OS or also submitted patches to the LineageOS Gerrit, which were never merged - similar to my previous builds.

(That is, why I e.g. did not port the Network Runtime permission, because the LineageOS network manager offers way more options)
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] RayfG:
Thank you very much, update works nearly all, except VPN, which has to be reconnected by hand, as i stated

above in former message. Beside his small thing, all best.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] RayfG:
Hi, MSe1969. May i ask you, if it is possible to implement this fix :

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_frameworks_base/+/323146

Into the next build?

That would be very great for convenience in handling openvpn (with synology NAS). (wiregard too, tested with fritzbox 7590)

Thank you very much,

Ray
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
I always upstream my forked repositories with their originals every month, hence the above patch is already part of my build: https://github.com/lin19-microG/and...mmit/8ba3b2ecf62593344757329e9934db6f2a574276
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] RayfG:
Thank you for that information, MSe1969. So, i don`t know, why my reconnect with vpn do not work, no matter which kind of VPN connection i choose.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
Based on the Gitlab issue, which you have linked previously, it seems that this patch has caused your issue - however, reversing it does not seem to be a solution, as the patch fixes another issue. I have looked at it, but so far, I could not see from the code, how this would cause your issue (let's hope that a good LineageOS Dev. picks it up ...)
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] RayfG:
Thank you very much for looking after this in Github. Well, perhaps someone has a solution for this sometime somehow.... It works, but for my wife it is unconvenient. I can live with that and my wife has to...😁

New build with February 2023 ASB patches available

Here comes a new build, which is also now offered via the updater app:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/lin19-microg/files/hotdog/lineage-19.1-20230212-UNOFFICIAL-microG-signed-hotdog.zip/download

ASB Security string 2023-02-05

microG on 0.2.27.223616-3

Firewall UI moved to Privacy Dashboard

Some kernel patches (fixed also a nasty video playback regression)

Apps installed by Aurora now spoofed as "installed by Google PlayStore" (this should fix such issues, where certain apps complain or refuse to run, when installed via Aurora - the internal string they expect is "com.android.vending", which translates in this build to the FakeStore app, so don't be worried, if the app info tells you "installed by FakeStore")

Happy flashing!

hello MSe1969

I have updated my phone. All seems ok .

I confirm that the video issue is solved.

Thanks you again for your work.

@MSe1969

Thank u very much. No complaines here.👍
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] old-Silver:
@MSe1969

I deliberately didn't mention an issue I was having with playback using Newpipe, thinking it was the app and couldn't be anything with the OS :unsure:

I can confirm the constant player crashes have stopped following this update, you have made my day, I can now watch my how to build an off grid home videos again

In short, yet again another great build that installs and works smoother than a babies arse (y)
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
The really tricky thing was, that it did not happen immediately - it started to happen only after a while. I usually play some videos for a short time as a test for the kernel patching, because playing videos is usually a quite comprehensive kernel "test".

I did not play almost any video last month for whatever reason, and when I noticed the issue, I also did not connect it to the kernel patches at first...
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] SkewedZeppelin:
I'll try to ping you if I break something like that again so you can revert it sooner :(
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
Thanks, but no worries - I should have connected the strings on my side sooner. I am grateful to have a place like yours to look for kernel patches.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] old-Silver:
We OnePlus 7T pro users are just lucky to have you and the other devs around to provide us with the tools for privacy in the first place. I'm no dev but if I can ever return the favor to you..........
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] nico21311:
Thank you again for your great work MSe1969.

If I understand well the developpement of Bromite is stopped?
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
Well, if you had made that comment last week, I would have tended to sadly agree - for sure, there was some discussion in the repo, because the main dev wasn't active for a while, but he is now back again, so let's hope for a very soon update.

Nevertheless, as I also had to start thinking about alternatives, I will for sure add the overlay configuration in my next build to allow using e.g. "Mulch" as Webview to be used and I'll have a look at that myself, also testing "Mull" as Browser...
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] bestouff:
Wouldn't Firefox work well as a privacy-oriented browser ?
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
Yes, "Mull" in fact is a Firefox fork, but without the proprietary Firefox stuff, which is anyhow being questioned in the community. (If I got it right...)
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] bestouff:
Oh I didn't know FF has proprietary stuff.

Great thanks !
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] TSKNF:
I've been following this project for a while now and finally wanted to try it out as a daily companion. I started with the Lineage 18.1 version but a few days later it was already EOL. Now I have upgraded to version 19.1 but unfortunately the latest version does not work.

When the device is booted it does not respond to touch input. All hardware buttons (vol +/- power and slider) work. I have reinstalled the device. Several times.

Last official Android 12 (Oxygen 12) --> OEM unlock --> flash recovery a and b --> boot recovery --> sideload ROM.zip

After that I tried it with an older version and lo and behold, the version from December 29 works. I can set up everything normally and everything works.

But after the OTA update the touch input does not work again. The same result as the first attempts.

Next I will try the version from January and then wait with the OTA update until a new version has come out.

It is an EU OnePlus 7T Pro - HD1913

I am surprised that apparently no one else has this problem. Otherwise, a really remarkable project. Many thanks for it.

Hello all

I tried to connect at ebay app, when the app is opened, it seems I have no connection to internet through this app.

Do you have the same situation on your side ?

just for information, I just would like to use ebay after serval months off.

Thanks in advance for your feedback
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) ROMs & Dev.] MSe1969:
You need to upgrade the Firmware of the device, too. Please look at the OP, where this is explained. The firmware is some extra step, next to the ROM.
