Thanks,

I've read that if I flash OOS12 firmware "abl.img" in fastboot it will remove the orange state warning but will it boot the system or adb so it can load LOS20?
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] thefanum:
I don't know. But I Always go all the way back to stock and start over, if I screw something up. Which is my suggestion.

Fixing a screwed up install is absolutely possible, but has usually resulted in bugs in my experience.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] troypulk:
Thanks,

I reflashed LOS20 recovery and boot img, this worked to enable adb and recovery, after this I reflashed lineage-20.0-20230323-nightly

It rebooted and my install was successful.

Thanks for your help.

[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] thefanum:
Happy to help. And magisk is the only one really. Luckily it's awesome! Lol

You can patch the boot img, which I think is the recommended method, but I've been able to just rename the APK to zip and adb sideload it. I would try that first.

[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] troypulk:

The package installer permissions do not have a choice for that.

Thanks
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] thefanum:
It'll just prompt you for permission.

If you're still having issues, download solid explorer file browser (can probably use built in files app, but I know for sure solid works) navigate to "Downloads" and click on your APK file. It should ask for permission, and then when approved, install that app. And not need permissions in the future.

If you don't get the permission promt, then go back through settings and add that permission manually from setting app, for solid explorer, and try again.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] troypulk:
I think your right.

The android file manager does not have the option to install apps.

I installed simple file manager from apkpure and now I can install apps.

Thanks

Just wanted to share my experience after a week as my daily driver.

I should mention that I'm running this with with microG.

Smooth rom and the most of the things is working fine.

What I noticed is this:

Screen brightness is no good, sucked the battery out of the phone in no time.

This is despite having the stk33502 proximity sensor that is reported to be working.

Velis auto brightness solves this though.

One little thing is that all the permissions is revoked after a reboot, which makes me do the set up all over again, any ideas?

Another source of battery drain is notifications, since I don't use google services.

I haven't enabled cloud messaging (push notifications) in microG settings but is this drain normal?

Seems a bit high I think.

This is the f-droid version of element.

I'm thinking of maybe flashing another kernel with battery optimisation or maybe that won't help?

Another thing is that file transfer via USB can be a bit finicky, there's a temporary solution somewhere in the thread.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] thefanum:
Do you have root? I'm not having that issue with velies, but I'm rooted. Wondering if that's the difference.

Regardless, the first step of troubleshooting is to just uninstall velis, and reinstall. Sometimes that's all it takes to fix autoboot issues. And make sure it starts automatically, and with it's configuration. Otherwise something is wrong with the app.

For the notifications battery drain, you can check the offending app's settings, and see if you can set notification intervals manually. Set it to 15-30 min. Or enable "cloud messaging" in microg, and rule that out. Or, just use Nano Gapps. Not the answer you're looking for, I know, but it is an answer. Nano if you want Google assistant, Pico if you don't care about Google assistant, and want the minimal Google in your phone.

Also, make sure you've checked settings> battery and figure out if it's an app or the OS itself that's draining battery, and report back. Once we know what the offenders are, we can help troubleshoot further.

Anecdotally, I've had issues with microg every time I've tried to use it. And the trade offs were not worth it for me (I can't miss notifications, even occasionally, work wise). So unfortunately I don't have much feedback. I do know lots of people use it, so hypothetically it's possible to find a good balance. I've just never found it for me, personally.

And MTP (the USB file transfer protocol) is so buggy it's unusable. And neither Google, nor Apple, seem to be doing anything about it. This is not just an Android issue, it also effects iPhones. And it's been in this semi broken state for years. So I wouldn't expect that to get fixed any time soon.

I use Solid Explorer, and SFTP to transfer data, because all of my devices are Linux (and one Mac), and that's the protocol I use (SSH) everywhere else in my network for absolutely everything, not just file transfer. So it's nice to have Android fit right in to my existing configuration. macOS also supports SSH/SFTP, but if you're a Windows user, and don't have WSL2, Solid Explorer supports a TON of different protocols.

You can use SMB (CIFS), FTP, and even WEBDAV.

And if you want to connect to your Android from a computer, not the other way around, you can use solid explorer to set up an FTP server on your phone. I'm not affiliated with Solid Explorer, just a big fan of power user tools.

Hello, I flashed the latest LineageOS on my 8T, but there is no enough space left to flash Nikgapps, it skipped installing Google Search, is there any way to increase the partition size?
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] SkogstaTarzan:
Ahh ok, so Velis do actually need root to function properly, didn't thought that was the case.

Have reinstalled it a couple of times but the problen persists.

I did set the notifications intervalls to 2min but didn't noticed any difference.

I can imagine that 15-30min would make a difference but that is not an option since I intend to use Element as my only "direct" messaging app.

Gapps is out of the question for me since I really want to avoid big tech from collecting my data, that's why I was hesitant to turn on "cloud messaging" in microG settings in the first place.

I have turned on "cloud messaging" by now I should say.

Think I can live with big G knowing that my phone exist as long as they don't access any data.

But is there really no other valid option if I wanted to go completely vanilla?

Searched a bit on websockets and json stream but didn't find any "easy to understand" info.

If someone has any experience in this, feel free to explain to me 😁

Really? That's sad to hear.

microG can be a bit finicky to set up, have experienced that as well.

By now I just use Lineage with built in microG, https://lineage.microg.org/, which haven't given me any problems.

Feels like my brain is melting now, SSH of cource!

I use that for all my other devices as well but the idea of using it for my phone has never occured to me 🫣

Linux and one Mac (exited for asahi to mature 😁) here as well btw.

Thanks for an extensive answer!
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] thefanum:
You're very welcome! Glad to hear SSH will work, it's really the perfect solution, in my opinion.

Non Android, Bonus penguin tip for Linux desktop users: did you know you can run GUI apps from a remote Linux machine, just like they're local? Just use the ssh -X flag when connecting. Great way to use higher resource machines on your network from light/weak laptops.

And unfortunately, much of the functionality in modern day Android, especially when proprietary apps are involved, is closed source, and only included in Google play services. Microg and other solutions are increasingly competent work arounds, but I've never gotten them to what I would consider fully functional.

If I could switch to all fdroid apps, it would probably be a much more complete solution. But I need apps from the play store, unfortunately.

I would love to be wrong.

Here's the fix that made *MOST* of my play store apps work last time I tried. It still didn't fix several apps I couldn't live without, so I gave up eventually and went back to gapps. But it's worth ruling out, you might get lucky.

Good luck!

Hi!

I have a k2000 model (Chinese version, with Hydrogen OS updated for February 2022, old version released before 2021 with LDDX4), I used the official LineageOS guides for installation.

After

1) fastboot oem unlock (ok!)

2) fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img (ok!)

3) fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img (ok!)

and installation

4) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (ok! lineageOS official recovery for this)

following the instructions reboot in NEW recovery, I got Qualcomm CrashDump Mode.

Now only fastboot work (fastboot devices detects the device, but adb sideload do not work... I used debugging rights via "USB debugging").

There were no errors, I checked the checksums (sha256) of the files before flashing. Why did it happen so?!? And what should I do now?

Please help solve the problem (Now I don't trust the official installation instructions).

[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] laritus:
I just tried to flash it with MSM tools, it didn't work. My device is detected in a fastboot on a PC, BUT MSM tools do not see the connected device. Perhaps because LineageOS recovery has been flashed and 2 partitions. I tried using the command Fastboot boot recovery.img to temporarily load another recovery other than LineageOS, tried the official TWRP (all version), crDroid and non-official orangefox... nothing helps. The device does not see in MSM tools. Is there any option to install recovery for example from 11 android from LineageOS (somewhere I can find a LineageOS recovery for 11 android)?

I'm sorry, this is my first oneplus device, before that I flashed more than a dozen devices from Xiaomi and never had problems installing TWRP. I could install the latest recovery on any device and flash everything I need through it.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] thefanum:
Then you have the wrong device's MSM tool or your drivers are not installed on your computer.

You need the specific MSM tool for your model.

I'm not 100% sure, definitely double check before using, but this looks like a likely candidate for your model:

I've used LOS 19.1/20.0 on my KB2005 and so far 20.0 is very stable, far more stable than 19.1 in my experience.

The only persistent issue I can corroborate is that the stock auto-brightness feels like something out of the early 2000's, and I am using Velis to fix that issue as there appears to be no interest in correcting it.(I tested it each release for a while but gave up a while ago and haven't tried it since early 20.0 builds so YMMV) That said, I would actually argue that Velis is even far better than the stock adaptive brightness on OOS too, but I was never inclined to change it on OOS because it was good enough. Beyond that, I update once a week and have no critical issues.

And I don't quite understand. According to the instructions for installing LineageOS, before flashing rom, I first installed the recovery, and then the data copy script.

Do I need to install the recovery and LineageOS rom in the inactive "B" slot again for reliability?
