but stock passes CTS and all the test suites of stability.

No custom ROM runs any beyond "do most features work".
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Alias X:
I've used many in my life and the difference was often negligible. Of course depends on the chipset and size of the community and stuff. But it's your ROM so you know best what to expect of it in this instance I guess.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] equilibriumer:
I've just sideloaded the last official v14 alongside with mind the gapps provided on my troika.

Wifi,bluetooth,camera,sound,video playing works.probably bank apps wont work.i dont have a spare SIM for calls testing.i'm still charging the battery to see how the system will mange the drain.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] metai:
As always, thank you for your efforts. If you don't mind me asking, where can one download that final build image? Your repositories do not have releases for Kane (anymore).
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] npjohnson:
It is still building.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] sandy-mj:
Can I get installation guide for unofficial build installation of 28th march.

It has some new .img files like vendor.img

Do I have to flash everything given in unofficial build ?

I need step by step installation guide for the new update as the website instructions are outdated
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] equilibriumer:
adb reboot recovery

adb -d sideload xxx.zip (package name)
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] npjohnson:
The website instructions are not outdated.

I have no clue why people assume this.

It is entirely correct - follow it.

The extra image are for debugging.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] shanock:
I installed the new image today. It fixed my camera issues, wifi is still working, bank apps work, video recording and playback works.

Thank you for your efforts.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] sandy-mj:
Is it gcam ?
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] sandy-mj:
I can't turn off shutter sound in both moto camera and aperture camera in official lineageos 21
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] npjohnson:
Because it's illegal to do so.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] sandy-mj:
Weird! never heard about this.

I always used to turn off shutter sound as we have an option to turn it off in stock rom.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] npjohnson:
might be a regional thing, but in many regions it is illegal.

So we respect the governance globally so as not to have compliance issues - as we have no way to reliably detect region for privacy reasons.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] priyanka-lollipop:
When will be the next update for official los 21?

It's been 2 weeks and wifi is still broke
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] priyanka-lollipop:
Can someone please tell me how much space does the firmware occupy for both official and unofficial versions ?

Do we have YouTube premium available in unofficial build ?
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] npjohnson:
Did you read the OP? Official builds are disabled, and will be for the foreseeable future
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] npjohnson:
The exact same amount? Partition space doesn't change at all, the partition still take up the same amount of space, it's just how full they are, no extra space becomes available to you.

And I have no clue how any build would give you that without paying.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] priyanka-lollipop:
Guess I should switch back to los 20 till the next update for 21.

I hope they will be able to bring the next update by next month or two.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] equilibriumer:
I"ve sideloaded the official v21 from 18.03 and is bug free
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] equilibriumer:
YouTube premium?🤣
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] priyanka-lollipop:
wifi working??????
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] priyanka-lollipop:
I would love to have both youtube premium and gcam included in unofficial builds bro
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] equilibriumer:
Yes,sideloaded official v21,deleted user data and rebooted the system,all is ok
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] equilibriumer:
You can find some version of gcam here on xda,about YouTube premium,i am pretty sure nobody from lineage suport that
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] priyanka-lollipop:
can i flash vendor.img in official los 21 for solving wifi issue ??
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] npjohnson:
I don't know what you're even thinking of flashing or why you think that would fix it, but no.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] equilibriumer:
The only problems i"ve seen is with camera and wifi hotspot both official and unofficial.

I am trying to use the device as a dashcam,and sometimes after a few minutes of recording it stops,gives me a message on screen(4 error_camera_device),and it keeps that error a few seconds, after that recording goes on,but every few minutes is doing the same.(This îs probably because of age or "old camera drivers".
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] HertzBleed:
Could someone who still has the latest official build of LOS 20 for troika along with its recovery share it with me? I would like to return to LOS 20 but it is no longer available on the download page.

PS: sorry for the bad English, I'm using google translate.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] sandy-mj:
Can I get the link please
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] sandy-mj:
Since official los 20 builds are removed from the website, I just have to assume that they are working very hard on the next update to make it available in short time
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] npjohnson:
Read the OP - builds are halted until critical issues are fixed, and they may not be resolvable in the case of the BPF issues mentioned in the OP.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] sandy-mj:
Could you please send me official los 20 version build.

Does unofficial 21 have any issues with BPF functions ?
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] npjohnson:
As I said earlier, you can check the timschumi archive.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] sandy-mj:
Does unofficial 21 have any BPF function issues ?
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] npjohnson:
The last posted build, no.

But there won't be future unofficials.

No new builds will come out for the time being.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] HertzBleed:
Sorry if this question bothers you, I don't mean to, but haven't you considered going back to LineageOS 20 and supporting it until Google stops releasing security patches for Android 13? It would be easier than fixing something that may no longer be fixable.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] npjohnson:
From an infrastructural standpoint, we have no way to do that in a manner that doesn't require users wipe their devices. And no way to notify affected users.

We may move them back, but it would not be clean, and obviously not preferred at all.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] priyanka-lollipop:
please tell me how long will it take to rebasing the kernel approximately( like 1 month or 2 months) ?

Any bugs or stability issues or connectivity issues in unofficial 21 ?
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] npjohnson:
If you read the OP I literally say I have no clue if I'll be able to get that working.

No timeline ever.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] pespin:
@npjohnson can you share more details about the problem with latest ASB? Is there some ticket somewhere with the details about the failure and some description with the WIP? I see some commits from you in https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_motorola_exynos9610 attempting to fix some BPF missing features?

I'm pretty new to android/LOS ecosystem but I may try to help somehow. The main problem is that it's my day-to-day phone.

I'd really like to have a working LOS 21. The 2 problems I observed so far after a few days of use, using March 11 2024 update as of now:

- Wifi Hotspot not completely working (same behavior in USB and WiFI): I can enable it and I can ping the internet (eg 8.8.8.8) from my laptop fine, but as soon as I start adding a bit more load (eg. downloading a page or a file over HTTP) the connections stall.

- audio calls for Signal/Telegram/... seem to have no working microphone (already reported in https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/6773 and related tickets).

Btw, do you know if it's fine updating with OTA from March 11 to March 18 meanwhile?
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] npjohnson:
As I've said previously, Any released builds work fine. New builds will not come.

As for the BPF issues, bpfloader faults out on boot and crashes is unable to enable bpf_jit. that simple.

We are on an ancient kernel base that lacks support and my attempt to back port it failed.

We need to rebase the kernel on modern 4.14 but I have no time to do so.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] sandy-mj:
Feature request for unofficial 21

1. Pixel launcher without pixel widgets is worst. I love trebuchet launcher features like app hide and google app hide, updated date and time in app drawer.

Please give us an option to choose between trebuchet launcher and pixel launcher.

2. Please include swipe to screenshot and swipe to split screen features.

3. Add tab view option for jelly browser like chrome.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] npjohnson:
1. Pixel launcher has been dropped in march+ builds anyway.

2. They won't be included

3. Feature request, we won't be doing it.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] equilibriumer:
I really dont get it about all this complains!

Before the last unofficial los21(28.03),i had problems with camera when taking a photo and with hotspot.i've sideloaded official los21(18.03) and gapps, deleted user data and everything works(hotspot still cranky), sideloaded unofficial los21(28.03), deleted user data and of course, everything works(hotspot still cranky).where is all your problems you all complaing about?
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] metro2000:
I agree. I had the same experience. Had some initial issues with official LOS March 18 build, Wi-Fi wasn’t working, I then factory reset the phone and re loaded Mar 18 build and all works perfectly ever since. Seems there only some issues when upgrading. Have been using this for 3 weeks now with no issues. Battery is great too.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] sandy-mj:
Call recording feature removed in unofficial verson
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] npjohnson:
I just replace our dialer with Google dialer. So yeah, somewhat
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] sandy-mj:
Automatic call recording is the only feature that I like from Google dialer but you removed it in unofficial build.

please make the app available without any modifications to it
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] npjohnson:
I didn't remove it from google dialer - I replaced our dialer with google dialer.

I will not be including the lineage dialer - use the official.
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] sandy-mj:
I don't see call recording option in Google dialer. It is present in moto firmware but I can't find it in unofficial build.

If you don't remove call recording option, I think it may be a bug because there is no option for call recording in unofficial 21
[Motorola One Action ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] npjohnson:
Reread what I said?

I don't intentionally remove it.

It is a feature of the lineage dialer, which I replace with the Google dialer, thereby removing it.

I have no intention of using the lineage dialer in the unofficials.

If you want call recording, just use the official.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] loretta1980:
Is the link https://wiki.oddsolutions.us/devices/taimen/ broken?

Does casting to a chromecast work with this ROM?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
No? Works fine here
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
And yes you can cast to a chromecast
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] loretta1980:
Really? Also somebody from germany? Right now? I'm not able to reach this site from a pc with firefox and an iphone with safari.

Thanx for the answer.

P.S. seems to be my router. Do i have to use a special dns server?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kurageart:
Hello, do I need to sideload MindTheGapps installing Your version of Lineage21, or gapps are already included , as they were on lineage20?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Included

It says so in the OP
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] g000n:
Thank you developer for making my 2017 phone live on!

Appreciate your hard work.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Chaninoza:
thanks for keeping alive this device! im following the instructions from the wiki, and it stucks at verifying update package.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Try a different USB cable or port.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Chaninoza:
already tried that but no luck. well ill leave it overnight to see if something happens. thanks for your help!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Pixeljunkie:
Installed the unofficial ROM per the instructions, everything went well except i noticed an exclamation mark over the mobile data icon on the top right corner. Thought nothing of it since i was still able to send/receive SMS texts and connect to LTE. After rebooting the phone, the SIM card is no longer functioning/detectable. Under Settings -> Network and Internet, "Calls & SMS No SIM" is greyed out, underneath it says "SIMs Add a network" but tapping it does nothing.

I tried removing the SIM card and putting it back in, no luck. Any idea what went wrong and how i can fix this?

Ty
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] uniquedood:
does it have phonecall recording enabled or we have to flash caller ourselves ?

OK dood , what this is supposed to be ? IT does not recognize sim card ,its a prank bro or what

Also whoever decided that lineage recovery WONT ALLOW DOWNGRADE is just plain dumb, thanks for wasting my time.

Are you serious with releasing newest os and disabling downgrade ? So now what ? im stuck , have to waste another 30min to reinstall old one
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] runekock:
On another rom, I could make the SIM work by wiping with fastboot -w

Maybe it'll work here as well. Note that all all data on the phone will be erased.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
SIM works fine here. Try a clean flash.

Also, man, if you walked into any free event acting like this, people would not be all to happy with you. Reminder this is an unofficial, for testing purposes before official comes out.

That's an AOSP thing we inherit - the downgrade bit.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] uniquedood:
dood, just cause something is released for free does not mean its not causing trouble and wasting peoples time, recovery should allow downgrade to anything at anytime but hey im just entitled whiner
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
This issue existed on 19 and 20 before this.

And on downgrade - Cool - Gerrit is open for contributions, go make it so.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] uniquedood:
How about you boot the F out this recovery from zip? It only gets in a way, TWRP allows for any rom! this crap recovery is just ruining the process and we have to start over
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Fun, so you just have absolutely no idea how A/B works.

Do some research before you complain.

If we "didn't include a recovery" in the zip (by the way, it isn't a recovery image, it's all in the shared boot image), the device literally would not boot! Dare you to try.

Best part, use TWRP if you want to. you're perfectly able to do so, just needs to be refreshed. They could even configure it to persist via addon.d, they just choose not to for some reason.

So, seriously, just go away, you're not helping anything or anyone, and just pissing off one of the few remaining people working on this device.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Azerty94:
Will it be possible to update from 20 to 21 with OTA ? Because my Pixel 2Xl power button is dead and so I can't go to recovery ^^.

Anyway, thanks a lot for making this device still usable and up to date after so many years !
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
No you won't sadly. You can use `adb reboot recovery`, but be careful.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 5dPZ:
@npjohnson As owner of two 2XLs and two 4XLs, thank you very much for your fabulous work on the developmet of (un/)official builds for these phones to make them as good as new after ~5 years of their releases!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tapalief:
Thanks npjohnson, rom works fantastic with no lag !! Only one small problem, basic integrity is Ok, but CTS profile match fail.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Yeah, my work around was patched, I can't really help with that sadly
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Charlesmanles:
I would like to thank the developers and the community for this version. It works really good on my old pixel 2XL.

I'm using a 9.1 version from the GCam by BSG and it works really good with this rom, and has the new android 14 UI.

Does anybody know if it's possible to enable the new android 14 styles/fonts for the lockscreen clock or the AI generated wallpapers? I don't know how to look for it. Thank you very much!

The other feature i'm missing from the stock rom is the now playing always listening on the lockscreen... is there any way to enable it? Thanks again, let's keep this phone alive and strong!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Sadly not from our side, no
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] zibo29:
Just here to thank you a lot all the developers, npjohnson in first place, keeping Pixel 2XL alive after all this years! I'm rocking LOS 21 with no issues on my Pixel 2XL and performance is rock solid considering the device!

Thanks thanks thanks

PS I've had only one issue (veryfing update in recovery mode while ADB sideloading) flashing the firmware, solved only going to a linux machine through a USB hub and A->C cable, it's a known problem with Pixel 2 XL
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] niccoV:
Hi, I just installed the unofficial ROM coming from Los20 (also unofficial), everything works fine, I only noticed the exclamation mark on the data icon that another user reported. For me is not a problem, I can live with it since data connection and phone calls are working. I try to reboot but nothing happens (data and calls still working).

One last thing, did your at a glance persistent widget show weather and other information? I'm not able to make it work, I don't know why.

Apart from that thank you for your work, it's incredible that I'm using Android 14 on this device.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Yeah, the ! is known and almost fixed.

That stupid weather feature is a lot of work every cycle and this cycle I just gave up lol. It's not worth the pain.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
@npjohnson can you please help me with my taimen build of Bliss ROM (android 14) - while building for taimen, did you face an issue when you flash the build and it directly reboots to bootloader?

Unfortunately I'm unable to take logs as after successfully sideloading, it instantly reboots to bootloader. I'm building a permissive build with device, kernel, vendor trees from Evox by @Anno' (with the same trees, crDroid builds and boots fine).

Any hints/ help would be highly appreciated :)

Nitin
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
No clue man probably two stage init related.

Just take lineage trees and start from there.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
Thanks a lot, will try that.

Nitin
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] IvorLongarrow:
Does the unlimited storage with google photo work with this Custom Rom?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Yup
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] IvorLongarrow:
Wow! Great new! I'm gonna try!

Thank you for your work!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ravepark:
Hi @npjohnson !

Thank you for this awesome "Unofficial" version of Lineage OS 21 ROM (OddSolutions)!

I tried installing this Unofficial Build "lineage-21.0-20240124-UNOFFICIAL-taimen.zip", which booted up fine the first time, but after I rebooted the device, the SIM stopped working.

I tried ' fastboot -w ' and reboot, for the SIM to work, it worked after the first reboot, but after a second reboot, it stopped working.

So, I booted the last (latest) 'stock' ROM from google, checked and confirmed that my SIM is working, and then I tried booting up the "lineage-21.0-20240124-UNOFFICIAL-taimen.zip" again. This time, it didn't detect the SIM at all. Therefore, I am back to the stock ROM.

I just wanted to share this info, for the other person, in case they are planning to install this build "lineage-21.0-20240124-UNOFFICIAL-taimen.zip" and to bring this to your notice.

Let me know if there's something I may have missed, or if there is a work around for the SIM to work.

Appreciate your work, time and patience and the team!

Cheers & Regards!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] whoadood:
Do volte/vowifi work on this ROM?

How does this rom compare overall to using Android 14 from a recent Pixel phone? Talking about features. For example, can I select text in the app switcher view?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Yup.

And no you can't do that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lowkii:
Is it possible to install Snapchat on this ROM?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Yeah? Not sure why it wouldn't be.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lowkii:
Because of safety net issues, google play certified?
