He's kind of right, I need to find a way to make an announcement about this but it's very sad, Google has linked RCS to play integrity
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] zurjskj:
Sad indeed, but if past IM efforts of Google are anything to go by, in a few years Google Messages RCS will be replaced by something else. Would you perhaps consider bundling the stock LineageOS SMS app instead of Google Messages in the unofficial builds? Without RCS, it's pretty much the same thing anyway.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pinkpawkitty:
I have video playback issues with various apps. E.g. in telegram when pausing a video, I have to close and reopen the video for it to continue playing.

@npjohnson can I get you some debug logs that might be helpful?

(I've been using your LineageOS builds since v18(?) without a data wipe, if that's relevant. I don't know if this might be data corruption?)

Edit: oh, new build! I'll test whether it's still an issue :)

Edit 2: yep, still seems to be an issue, unfortunately
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
Could you test a clean flash? I don't really see it locally, so I'm wondering if it's some migration issue
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] maxmergov:
I have same problem. By the way, I have already stated this before.

Because of this, I was downgraded to build 20-20230118-UNOFFICIAL-sargo.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pinkpawkitty:
I did a factory reset in lineage recovery and then flashed lineage-21.0-20240212-UNOFFICIAL-sargo.zip. Same issue, unfortunately.

Is there something I'm missing for a clean flash?

Edit: Plus, CTS safety attestation seems to be broken with that build?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
no, I'll look into it
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cavedano8:
3 things

1. (maybe a bug?) in google maps, when you click on the blue dot to improve the accuracy of the position, the app crashes and closes problem solved with maps update

2. (maybe a bug?) videos in the browser start without sound. Clicking on the audio activation freeze the video

3. Is it possible to take extended and 3-finger screenshots?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Gufron's:
I have installed LOS 21 successfully using the clean flash method, the problem that I had while using this ROM was that I felt there was a bug regarding video playback issues, when watching videos on the web the connection felt slow, and even blanked out black.

Hopefully in the next build this problem will be fixed
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SubbieWubbie:
Thank you for your amazing efforts, sir.

I installed the ROM a few days ago, and everything has been working great.

There’s a slight lag overall when PiP is active, but nothing unbearable.

I am curious about something, though.

Will the new lock screen and AOD clocks be coming to this ROM with a future update? They look really cool and I was looking forward to using them when I installed the ROM.

Thank you again for this amazing ROM!
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
Likely not. They're proprietary to the stock ROM.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] superboss2300:
Still on lineageos 20 here, was gonna install the official builds for 21 but after reading the thread, I saw you guys talking about the latest build having video playback issues. Have those been resolved yet or will I still need to wait?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] alex.o:
The video playback issues were resolved for me with the 2/12/24 build.

It sucks that RCS isn't an option now. I also have a bank app that lets me log in, but won't enable the "remember device" function. If I close the app for a second I have to do the 2fa again. That is a bit frustrating.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lpedia:
It is an option if you're willing to root the device.

I haven't upgraded to official LOS 21 yet, but on official LOS 20 (unrooted) on my Pixel 3a, Google Messages stopped doing RCS a day or so ago. I assume Google's policy change has been rolled out in stages, like most Google updates, and has only just reached my device.

With official LOS 21 on my Pixel

3

, the following restored basic integrity, CTS profile match, and Play Protect certification, and got RCS working again.

Install Magisk. The latest is version 27.0, and that's what I installed

Install chiteroman's PlayIntegrityFix v15.8 Magisk module

Enable Magisk's Zygisk setting, enable DenyList, and add Play Services, Play Store, and Messages to the DenyList

Clear Play Store app's cache and storage (otherwise Play Store won't show Play Protect certified)

So I did the same on the 3a, and it worked. It should work with LOS 21 as well. Until Google changes its policies again ...?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] teph12:
Hi, thanks for the great work.

Recently I noticed that WiFi calls stopped working, does anyone else have the same issue? If I go to airplane mode with WiFi enabled, and try to make a call, I get a message that tells me to deactivate flight mode or activate WiFi calls, even though the setting is activated.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] teph12:
Hi, thanks for the great work.

Recently I noticed that WiFi calls stopped working, does anyone else have the same issue? If I go to airplane mode with WiFi enabled, and try to make a call, I get a message that tells me to deactivate flight mode or connect to WiFi, even though internet connection works.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lpedia:
I don't think this is to do with LineageOS as such. I tried it just now on a 3a with PixelBuilds 14 (AOSP-based and said to be pretty much vanilla AOSP) and it's doing the same.

Also, I see there are a lot of posts elsewhere online from people who've had this problem with a variety of both Android phones and iPhones, and not necessarily recently. So it's not just Android, either.

A few said it worked for them with one phone service provider but stopped working when they moved to a different one. So it seems likely to be to do with the service provider.

Were you able to make wifi calls in airplane mode before you put LOS on your device? If so, was it with the same phone provider?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] teph12:
It worked a couple of weeks ago, same phone same provider but on unofficial LOS20. I might go back to LOS20 and give it a try.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Gufron's:
hello, I have used the latest build lineage-21.0-20240302, I thought this problem was resolved, but apparently not

I can't log in to the local bank application, the message in the image below always appears, even the same thing when I type my email and password randomly.

I've tried (sorry) another Android 14 ROM and it's safe, I can log in. but not with this

I hope this problem can be resolved, or do I need to take logcat? but I don't really understand that yet

Thank You
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] teph12:
FYI I am back on the most recent official LOS20, and WiFi call works again in flight mode.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lpedia:
It looks like the same problem that prevents my banking app from saving credentials and using biometric login, and also makes Microsoft Authenticator unable to configure "sign in with device" for any account.

I first saw this in unofficial LOS 21 for the Pixel 3, and confirmed it was still present in the official LOS 21 ROMs for both Pixel 3 and 3a. It was not present in LOS 20 for either device.

@razorloves (dev for the Pixel 3 / 3 XL) has been investigating.

The apps work for me on another Android 14 ROM (PixelBuilds 14), so it seems likely there can be a fix. 🤞

About logcats ... with official LOS releases, you use the procedure described in How to submit a LineageOS bug report, but you're only supposed to create a bug report if it's not already a known issue.

So I think you don't need to do anything further at the moment. The issue is known and is being investigated.

But if you really need to use that banking app in the meantime, I think you'll have to go back to LOS 20 temporarily, or use the other Android 14 ROM.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
Your issue is that you don't pass safety net, yes it works on other Android ROMs because they bypass safety net, we won't be doing anything related to that.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
As for why you can't use biometrics in the app that is a valid bug, the fact that you can't log into the app at all is unrelated, that is safety net.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lpedia:
OK. But I get a very similar symptom with my banking app regardless of whether I've rooted and established safetynet / play integrity or not.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Gufron's:
I've done various things, but the problem remains the same. Maybe now I'll go back to LOS 20
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rdorsch:
I upgraded two sargo devices to LOS21. Both work flawless for me (except the know quirks https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/sargo/#known+quirks ). Many thanks for the excellent image.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DavetheFish:
i ran into some issues with the latest ota. freezing, unresponsive touchscreen, crashes, etc. i'm clean flashing again, i'll get back with logcats and such if it happens again. hopefully it's just standard pebcak.

edit: factory reset, clean flash, had to do it a couple of times to get everything in order. no clue what was going wrong. it was a process lol hoping it goes smoother next time.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] meesner:
Hi, installed the ROM, working fine, but one question about notifications:

in the original ROM I had the small dots in the corner of the App-Icons, now I can't find something like this in the ROM.

Any Idea's?

Thank you for the ROM
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lpedia:
Notification dots are handled by the launcher, so have to be enabled in its settings. The launcher also has to have Notification permission in order to display them. There should be a Notifications setting in the Home section of the launcher's settings. When that's turned on the launcher will ask for notification permission.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] meesner:
oh, it's in the Launcher!

Thank's a lot
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Chris334:
I upgraded from 19.1 to 21 and everything works except for the Google Fi app and visual voicemail.

The esim that was previously set up works and I'm able to send/receive calls and use SMS. Wifi calling does not work as before.

The Google Fi app does not recognize the esim and says "Google Fi is not your active carrier." It wants to download another esim and this fails. This is probably why visual voicemail does not work.

I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the Google Fi app and this did not help. I will likely go back to 19.1
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] r1cht4:
Does anyone know if there is a possibility of installing microG on LineageOS 21?

I didn't find any builds, only for LOS 20.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
Yeah, you just install the APK.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] vuong0888:
I cannot use the speakerphone when making calls using app line or zalo @npjohnson sir
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
not how you report bugs. There's a guide in the OP.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Idlerwheel:
I was able to resolve the issues I had with the instructions, but, as this was my second time following lineageOS instructions, I was able to properly update from 19.1 to 21. As a general rule, it is best to assume you are explaining every step as if a person knows just enough to ruin their system. Primarily my issue was initializing adb and fastboot with the instructions. Thank you for putting the 47% notice. It gave me the confidence to do a search for the bug which killed just enough time for the installation to be completed 😁
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] simonpunk2013:
Sadly pkvm is only supported from kernel 5.15, otherwise the pixel3a would be a beast running linux container. But nvm, chroot still does a great job, less secure though.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hanaf95557:
Does anyone have the latest version of LineageOS 20.0 lineage-20.0-20240210?

I'm redoing all my infrastructure! New funs stuff coming! Will be done by end of weekend.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] amd_h4x0r:
...still not seeing anything for sargo
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
Ended up taking longer we'll be done by the end of the week
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
Sadly, this device utilizes android.hardware.radio@1.3 (or below).

This means that the March security bulletin - known as QPR2 - fully killed this device.

We (LineageOS) are trying to write a wrapper to make older radio HAL versions compatible with newer radio HAL versions.

With that said, we may or may not be successful and we're entirely unsure how long it would take.

So, sadly, for now, this device has 21 builds disabled - I have deployed one final February ASB unofficial build people can use in the intermediary (or you can use the final official build).

I will announce here if/when the device is re-added to the roster.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] amd_h4x0r:
Where is the February ASB unofficial build? Is it different than the unofficial 2024-02-18 build?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
It is building to upload right now.

And yes it is.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RED Galaxy:
I guess no good news about the matter? :(
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
nope
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RED Galaxy:
Ugh, really hope for the best🤞

Is such a good device, especially from a camera standpoint, for which would be a shame to finish his career on such a bittersweet end :/
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PowerUser64:
I wanted to download either the A13 or A14 versions of the unofficial LOS build linked in the OP, but I'm getting an error when I try to access the site at updater.oddsolutions.us/devices/sargo/builds - see archive.org for the exact error I'm getting.

I'm having a problem with a service (Media Storage) crashing all the time that happens even in safe mode. I wanted to see if doing a dirty reflash of my current A13 (TQ3A.230901.001) version or updating to A14 would fix it, but it seems I removed or misplaced my local copy of the build and I can't access either on the website, which seems to be partially down. Any ideas?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
the builds are uploading for April.

New infrastructure has had some growing pains.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PowerUser64:
Good to know! Thanks for all your do to make this ROM great! You're keeping phones out of landfills!
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RED Galaxy:
Hey, so that means the LOS Team found a workaround for the March Security Patch? :D
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
Nope. Just a few bug fixes on Feb stuff
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PowerUser64:
Is there any place I can get a build right now? I'd like to fix my device if possible. If building it myself is what it takes then I can do that too, I just don't know where to get the source.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RED Galaxy:
Ah :(

Any type of progress on the matter?

So the fixes will be for both the official and the unofficial builds?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RED Galaxy:
For the official builds you can get them from here:

LineageOS Downloads

download.lineageos.org
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PowerUser64:
The official builds are easy enough to find, but I'm trying to find the unofficial builds right now - I would have to reformat to switch to the official builds.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
No, the fixes will only come to the unofficial, officials are still paused indefinitely, the unofficial is just getting a few very small fixes stacked on top of the February patch, but that won't finish building for a few days, these devices are near the end of the build roster
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PowerUser64:
Makes sense. Pixel 3a is getting old now. Do you know where I can get the source so I can make builds for myself? I'd like to tinker with it some.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
What do you mean? A build guide? The wiki has a tailored one for each device. The guide on there is accurate but if you build it as of now it's of course not going to work, it should boot and function but radio will be completely broken.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RED Galaxy:
Ohh, I guess at this point we can call the end of the journey for this Pixel? :C
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
I mean, the OP is pretty clear that if someone doesn't manage to make legacy radio work that this device will likely die off.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RED Galaxy:
Yeah ofc the OP is pretty clean, but I hoped for some kind of progress from the last time I asked, not pretending LOS team to work only on this device ofc
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
Nope, to be candid there won't be progress updates on this, it's either going to be we fixed it or we have it yet.

And if we fix it there's likely going to be a blog post about it.

I'll also be cheering here in the thread lol
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RED Galaxy:
Alright, thanks for the clarification, let's hope to cheer soon then ;)
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PowerUser64:
Oh cool, I had no idea there was a build guide! (here.) If I want to build an older version so my radio works, how would you suggest I go about it? I'm currently running TQ3A.230901.001 and I'd like to build that one if possible. Is there a map of build numbers to commit hashes somewhere? I got the dependencies and I'm cloning all the source code right now, so I should have a build soon. (seems there's a LOT of source code to get lol.)

Also, since I was on the unofficial build, do I need to do anything to have the modifications that were made to make the unofficial build "unofficial?" or has that all been merged upstream? I assume it's not included in the lineageOS repo at github:LineageOS/android. If I can't get the modifications, would I need to wipe my device to install my own build according to the build guide?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AndDiSa:
I've just built and installed version AP1A.240405.002.A1, it's running fine so far.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PowerUser64:
Were you on the official build or the unofficial build before you installed? Or were you on a custom one? I'm trying to gauge whether I can install LOS 21 official without clearing my data and have my device still function even though I'm on LOS 20 unofficial right now.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AndDiSa:
I was already on unofficial before, as I am building by myself applying some additional (kernel) patches, too.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
Not with radio it's not?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
Each build has a manifest in the product partition, you can just steal that XML and replace it with the one that you would initialize from.

That XML has hashes and is one to one for what you're running, so if you grab the latest official build and use its manifest you should be fine

You'll still need to extract vendor files though, but that's covered in the wiki
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AndDiSa:
I was also surprised, but wifi and bluetoth are working, I didn't check with a sim card yet.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
everything should work except for radio, so I'm not surprised.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cavedano8:
With new update I have problems with calls. I can't hear and the other person doesn't hear anything.

Rom is very smooth, I really like it, but there is a problem with the SIM when I make a phone call, I can't hear anything. Even though I tried everything, sir.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
Pulled in some new changes, tested it locally, VoLTE and VoWiFi both work fine, can hear both ends.

Any further issues with this will need bug tickets with logs, as I can no longer recreate.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] vuong0888:

[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TatsuMasa:
[Edit] Update to 20240415-UNOFFICIAL failed yesterday. But succeeded today. I really don't know why. I just did the same thing again. Anyway thanks a lot.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
what do you mean "can't flash" - I am literally running the ROM right now.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Eric80:
Good luck to fix the issue with March patch for LOS21!

Does this affect multiple devices?

Side question related to patches: how the LOS team handle the patches for the kernel? For our pixel 3a / sargo, the kernel 4.9.337 is EOL since January 2023.

However, selective patches are still applied for alternate ROM based on LOS, e.g. GrapheneOS and divestOS, as we can see here: https://divestos.org/pages/patch_levels#devices

DivestOS managed to apply the April 2024 security patch on his derivate of LOS 20 for sargo, and applied also patched the kernel as listed here: https://codeberg.org/divested-mobil...CVE_Patchers/android_kernel_google_msm-4.9.sh

Do you include similar patches in your builds, @npjohnson ?

I suppose the authors of DivestOS and GraphenOS are in contact with you, @npjohnson or the rest of the LOS team, aren't they?

Anyway, many thanks to you and all developers trying to provide us the most secure and feature-rich ROM for our outdated Pixel 3a: it is often a compromise to find between latest features / build and the security patches!
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
Yes it effects about 40 of our shipping devices.

And yeah, we still merge security updates to the 4.9 kernel monthly. Just no new uprev'd version as Linux itself dictates that.

Nope, We don't touch or interact with GrapheneOS - they outwardly hate several of our directors. Never heard of divestOS.
