I've been using the 20231025 version of MindTheGapps. I see that there's a new version available (MindTheGapps-14.0.0-arm64-20240225_232108).

Is there any value in updating given that Google apps get updates from the Play Store? And, if it is good to update Gapps, what's the recommended way to install the update on the current system?
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] BillGoss:
I decided to try flashing the new Gapps using Orange Fox and it all went well. So, dead easy to upgrade Gapps.

[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Mine1003:
I'm having major battery issues since the last update. Google play seems to be the problem (highest position in battery menu, but always in the background), but I can't fix it. Phone is pretty warm most of the time.

Any fix?
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Zoggn:
same for me on most A14 roms, actually display on/off is enough to fix this.

Tried custom kernels, different fw region, versions, a14 fw, doesn't helped. Seenms like a problem with a certain display. According to logs it seems like phone boots with 60hz refresh rate.

It would be great, if you provide logcat right after reset like (

adb reboot

adb logcat > los21_display.txt

)

P.S. Here is my logcat but i grabbed from Evolution X rom with custom kernel so it's not clear experiance but whatever

@LuK1337 sorry for tagging but maybe this will be useful

I'm currently on KB2003_14.0.0.301(EX01) official firmware, can I install LineageOS 21 or do I really need to downgrade first? I have seen some posts that it's not necessary to downgrade first, but I want to be sure about it.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] BillGoss:
You've read the requirements in the OP. You've read the posts about using OOS 14 firmware.

It's now up to YOU to decide what to do - it's your phone and there are no guarantees here.

(Hint: have fun learning).

I flashed it while on the firmware version I mentioned earlier, thanks for your reply.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] berky47:
I have a small issue with the custom ROM and its related with night light, whenever the phone uses my fingerprint the whole screen flashes blue for a second (disables nightlight) after my phone or an app is unlocked it becomes normal again (with nightlight on) same issue with YouTube videks, I'd like to have nightlight always on and not off for some cases, I understand the fingerprint one but could you make it so it only makes the fingerprint part bright and the rest normal according to nightlight? Also a little issue with removing the gesture bar pill, it looks cleaner but I think the space should be the same as if the gesture bar pill was there because when you remove the space there its interfering with other apps let's say Firefox, I can change tabs by sliding the bottom address bar left and right, when I turn off gesture bar hints it sometimes switches between apps instead of web pages. I wrote a lot but I hope this helps improving the ROM for everyone :) thanks in advanced.

Personal anecdote: I have EX01 fw flashed and running fine. Also replaced abl.img with the one from previous fw as not to see this annoying orange state boot warning. so far so good
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JedidroidX:
I had to downgrade to OOS 13 from OOS 14 because there was no fastboot on 14. Did some reading and supposedly it wasn't accidental from oneplus due to a no root policy. I then flashed Orangefox and flashed lineage 21. No issues so far, running very nice. I will stay custom unless Oneplus changes and releases a later build with fastboot.

If you can get to fastboot then you should be fine flashing lineage over OOS 14!

Is there a change in release of new nightly builds?

Just wondering that there was no OTA on friday while the last one was on march 15th

When i look at buildkite there also only were just a limited number of devices in the schedule.

Also no Kebab build triggered a day before and a day after last friday.

[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] riverstyxxx:
At the risk of repeating myself: Stay Away From This Rom. It's poorly coded and the one person developing it is illiterate. If you need to downgrade, grab the fastboot rom and restore it back to LOS 20: https://droidwin.com/restore-oneplus-8-stock-oxygenos-fastboot-commands

Counter argument: I'm happily using this ROM on both our 8Ts (and have been for a couple of months). Apart from the automatic brightness issue, which is a known issue, I've had absolutely no problems.

I'd happily recommend this ROM.

Despite being Android 14 (which is a retrograde step, if you ask me, just like 13, and 12 before it), this ROM is pretty good.

Running with A14 firmware, blu_spark kernel, APatch, Play Integrity Fork, Zygisk-Next and MindThe Gapps.

Passing Play Integrity, and using kernel module for wireguard, everything is smooth and trouble-free. I get 5G, decent wifi and the battery life is good. Basically, I am a happy camper.

Of course, I took the liberty of not using a carrier like T-Mobile ...

@LuK1337

The Android security patch date for LineageOS used to be defined in https://github.com/LineageOS/android_build/blob/lineage-21.0/core/version_defaults.mk:

PLATFORM_SECURITY_PATCH := 2024-02-05

But that file no longer exists (I get a 404 - page not found error). Where can I find it now?

Note: the file still exists for Los 20.0.

[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] denisovich:
A couple of things.

I mentioned a few posts back I was on A14 firmware. This works fine, but the boot time is quite a bit longer than the A13 firmware, which also works fine. So I reverted to EU A13.1 F70 583 firmware, and now the boot time is back to slick.

I also mentioned I was on blu_spark kernel. This is only because I want wireguard kernel support. So my suggestion (pretty please) is that, while kernel development is temporarily on hold, Luke (or whoever does these things) could add the wireguard support into the sm8250 kernel. And actually the sdm670 kernel too, for my other device.

Still a happy camper, but I want icing on my cake, and I want to have my cake and eat it too ...
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Mine1003:
Android 14 works perfectly fine for me now again. No battery issues, pretty fast and everything I want it to be. Fast, simple, reliable. Good job!

Good afternoon:

After so long I moved my 8t from lineageos 20 to 21.

All without problems. I didn't put anything from Google on it.

What I find with Device Lock Controller ( https://www.xda-developers.com/google-device-lock-controller-banks-payments/ and https://reddit.simo.sh/r/Android/comments/jpdup2/google_app_lets_banks_lock_your_phone_if_you_dont/ )

It won't let me disable it or anything. The phone is more than paid for. I bought it from Oneplus for cash. And I had it on Lineageos 20. And I'm weirded out by this.

It comes out to you?

Does anyone know how to remove it?

A hug and thanks for your time and help.

Hello guys, looking for your valuable time to fix the proximity sensor thing.

[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Mine1003:
Hey guys,

I read somewhere that on LOS 21 Google well-being could be used. Is there a way to easily update gapps without wiping or reinstalling?
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] pinkmallow:
Thanks for bringing attention to this! Even having this functionality backdoor is unsettling to me. You can handle the app as any other system app. Either disable it via adb, or remove it entirely with root access.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] gallegonovato:
Good morning @pinkmallow

I agree with you. I also do not understand why it has to appear and it seems to me a major security flaw. And more considering that I have it without anything from Google. Since I don't use Google account, I don't have any gap , or anything like that.

In addition I use everything open source.

The problem is that in the settings does not let me stop it, or uninstall it or anything.

I've tried App Manager and does not let me hibernate it.

I do not know if you know how I can remove it with Adb? I use Windows 10, and the mobile uploaded it to Lineageos 21 a good friend. I have to install something on the computer to install Adb and what code I have to use to remove that?

Then it can be removed without problems for the system and mobile?

I have the mobile rooted. And with Magisk.

I have seen this on YouTube:

Spoiler content hidden.

I take this opportunity to ask if you can put twrp with the new Lineageos ?

Thanks for the help and for your time

Use Orange Fox - it works very well. https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-un...ery-project-oneplus-8t-9r-03-mar-2024.4391139
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] pinkmallow:
For Windows, I can generally recommend universal Android debloater. It has a nice GUI. I cannot confirm that it works with this app though. I might have to take back my previous statement that it can be disabled, if you were unable to hibernate it. But you can give it a try.

I would not risk TWRP, and would stick with the official LOS recovery, as users reported bootloop with TWRP on previous versions.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] gallegonovato:
Good afternoon @pinkmallow

So I understand that I have to install first: https://adb.clockworkmod.com/ and Google USB Drivers and ADB Drivers as it says in https://www.lavanguardia.com/andro4all/android/eliminar-aplicaciones-sin-root or https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

Or just with https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater?tab=readme-ov-file

And then look for that application? or any tutorial to follow to the letter? ( I am very new to these things).

I am going to try again also if it allows me in a normal way.

Best regards
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] chomsky55:
Do the smart thing. Make a bootable linux USB drive and install android-tools on there. Open a terminal and use ADB to do whatever it is you want to do.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] pinkmallow:
Easiest way to install adb and its necessary parts, is with this installer from xda.

After that, install the UAD and search for com.android.devicelockcontroller

Then you should be able to deactivate it. -At least that's how I did it with other system apps in the past. Maybe google put some effort so that it isn't possible to disable it via adb.

If that's the case, I cannot help you any further and would advise you to go to a more on topic thread here in the forum or on reddit.

Does the recovery work with stock OOS14 ex01?
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] BillGoss:
I've just updated our two 8Ts to the latest version (240419) using the System>Updater>Local install option.

The update worked fine. But now I've found that using Magisk's resetprop immediately boots the phone into bootloader mode.

I'm using Magisk stable (27000) and have been since February.

This issue hasn't appeared on previous versions of Los.

And I've also just discovered that the same behaviour happens on my Pixel 8 Pro running AP1A.240405.002.

So I'm guessing the underlying problem is present in Android itself.

Has anyone tried USB PD charging with this ROM? I am still on stock OOS 14, and it seems to be broken there. When I connect my phone to the Lenovo USB-C dock, it charges very slowly, similar to a regular USB.

So I've got one problem since the new update.

Apps seem to freeze for a couple of seconds, and then the android window with "this app seems to have crashed" what u wanna do? "wait" "kill the app".

A special thankyou to Luke and the Team for enabling wireguard in the latest release.

The blu_spark kernel works fine, but now we have wireguard in the lineageos sm8250 kernel, things are a lot easier to manage.

And the boot time is a little faster too. Happy camper.

Now all we need is wireguard in the sdm670 kernel (and all the others) hint hint

[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bigd4ve:
There was some discussion about auto brightness not working in the LOS 20 thread. I think the problem exists in other custom ROMs for this device too.

One solution is to install an app to take care of it. Several people mentioned Velis Auto Brightness and I've been using that to solve the problem in LOS 20 and continued using it since updating to 21.

Velis Auto Brightness - Apps on Google Play

Get the fun back to your auto brightness...

[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] groegerjo:
I wonder if it is possible to solve the problem after going back to OOS14 and reflash LOS21 again.

I will do it the next days and give feedback to you afterwards...

EDIT:

Guys! It worked out. Going back to OOS solved the issue. Now Auto brightness is working perfectly!

As I remember I was flashing super_empty.img which could break Auto brightness. But this is just an assumption.

Anyone having problems with bluetooth earbuds no longer working after starting Google Maps? I noticed this when I upgraded to 5/17 nightly. I upgraded to 5/24 nightly and still have this problem. I didn't have any issues with the 3/15 nightly. Don't know about the ones in between since I didn't install those.

Also, I still can't get it to update OTA. It downloads but dies during install. I didn't want to have to clear data and reinstall so I've been just updating by sideloading.

Another thing I can't do is install TWRP as recovery. I was able to sideload it but after the first run it just bootloops whenever I try going into TWRP recovery.
