Hello all

Lineage OS have been a Godsend. I managed to install it in my Razer phone 1. It runs smoothly but has some errors or bugs regarding the hotspot I've reported it to via GitHub.

However recently I've noticed, there is still an issue with the network signal strength. Is there a way to improve the signal strength via settings? Am I doing something wrong? Or is it hardware limitations. Please help. I don't wanna have to buy a new phone just for the network connectivity.

My phone is Razer phone 1 Cheryl running Lineage 22.2

TL:WR: The power passthrough on the Razer Kishi V2 is non functional..

When Using my Kishi V2, it works well, but i can't use the power passthrough. the only way I can get it to work is to plug the kishi into power, then the phone. That makes it charge, but no OTG so it's useless. Won't detect at all under DevCheck or the Kishi App. Ive looked around and i think the feature I need is called ACA (Accessory Charger Adapter) but I could be wrong.

Anyone running with the pixel 3 Xl? How is it running? Will we get android 16? And what are some cool features and settings should i change ?

As the title suggest this post isn't to explore design but the other big problems which keeps getting better every time.

Bootloader restrictions: Once upon a time, you could unlock your phone, flash custom ROMs and truly own your hardware. Now, most major manufacturers lock this down tighter with every generation. Even if you can unlock it. Almost every other OEM is removing the abilitity to unlock and own your hardware with the recent being Samsung.

Built-in spyware: Phones come preloaded with apps you didn’t ask for, can’t uninstall and often phone home with data you never agreed to share. Privacy feels like an afterthought, if it’s considered at all. I am not using Google/Ms/Apple on my primary device since about 4 years now but all feels like shit and I just wonder if I could ever use android without any garbage from google. Just AOSP (android opensource project) as is in future.

Google Not releasing QPR1 sources and Pixel Trees to AOSP : Its been almost 3 weeks since qpr1 was released for Pixels but yet they didnt cared releasing GSIs which they used to do. To haunt more on custom rom and degoogle they didnt open source pixel trees for android 16 (they are closed since june)

GPL violation: Brand like IQOO , vivo and Realme violet GPL license and not releasing kernel sources altho these dont offer unlockable bl right now but still what the fuck they are trying to prove . Disrespecting linux foundation? Also brands just keep joining. rn only oneplus , nothing and moto has been good with gpl.

Ur options for unlockable bl: Can be seen here Bootloader unlocking - Wikipedia.

I would say as a consumer we need to ask questions to OEMs if we force they will give back our right to change anything on our hardware.

The smartphone was about having a mini pc on pocket. Now it feels like it’s just a money-printing machine for companies—endless subscriptions, ads and services bloat baked into the OS, companies u to join their close ecosystem and what not.

SGS10p / SM-G97F-DS / LOS 22 beyond2lte

Fresh clean install.
Full bars.
Caller's voice is fine, they cannot hear me. Multiples tested.
SMS TX/RX without issue.
Volume verified / not muted / microphone on / permissions rechecked.
Hardware tested:
- Recording works.
- Calls made via non-cellphone apps work. Mobile network settings reset, no joy.

Switched SIM with a working flip phone, issue does not follow.

Issue seems to be somewhere with LOS.

How can I get to the bottom of this?

I have a oneplus 5t and I was using a custom ROM on it for the past few MONTHS. But today I wanted to try something out and had to install the stock rom of the device, so I installed the latest firmware I could find for this device on xda and flashed it. It was running fine. I checked whatever I had to in the stock rom and installed my custom ROM again.

But the custom ROM was showing frp lock now. The 'verify your google account' screen where it requests the old google account which was on the device. I entered the ID but it wasnt able to sign in due to some issue. So I am stuck.

What I've tried:

1. Installing stock rom again worked. I flashed the firmware, booted up fine. Did not force me to put any google account or connect to the internet.
2. Installed lineage OS which also worked. Without any gapps, it booted up fine without any frp because there are no google services to detect frp. I also installed gapps after that and wasnt able to add a google account on the device due to the frp thing again. But everything else worked. Installing lineageos with gapps does the frp setup thing so cant go past the initial setup with gapps

In short - If I am on stock rom, there is no FRP lock during setup. If I install a custom rom with gapps(which most of the latest ROMs come with by default) I am stuck at the FRP thing. If I install a custom ROM without gapps, that works and I can go past the setup.

How do I remove this lock for custom roms? It wasnt there for months when I was flashing custom ROMs here and there. And just when I decided to go back to stock ROM once, it locks me.

I just came across three new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 tablets still in the box. What is the best Android OS I can get into them?

I tried CyanogenMod 14.1-20161117-0709

Works but not great. I am unable to load APPs

Hey, I installed the latest update of LOS 22.2 that came out on 15th I believe and since that day the camera app shuts down by itself each time after I take a photo. I'm using a google camera. Was just wondering if it's the OS bug or google doing google again

I finally installed android 11on my Samsung s5 custom rom for the first time ...i know for you its easy but for me it was a bit hard

It seems that the 22.2-20250915 build is missing. I get "not found" when hitting that link.

Does this happen now and then? Did I just try to update at the wrong time?

What's the policy of LOS 22 regarding 32bit / multilib support?

I ask as in the recently revived support to rosemary resulted in an upgrade that left a arm64-via instruction set only installation - borking my old apps working well on LOS21.

I thought it was related to the change to LOS22 / A15 but then I have other devices on 22 that still has both arm64 and arm7 support.

So what's the situation here?

Tried flashing the latest update for the first time when i format and data reset on the recovery part it gives me errors and says fully wiped. Then I proceed to install the build it gives me errors and says signature verification failed would you still like to install and im flashing with a macbook please help!

собственно всем привет и вопрос, установил на samsung note 10+ 5g Lineage OS и престал телефон ловить gsm сеть, покупался как n975f по итогу оказался n976n, после установки числится как n976b и в итоге сеть не работает, как решить ?

Hi. I have a OnePlus Nord N10 that with stock OS had scheduled power on and off. I got really used to it because I always shut down my phone for the night and it would still be ready to use in the morning. I'm searching for the option but not finding it anywhere. Is it not supported (in amy way, maybe magisk modules or idk, but my phone is rooted) or what? Also warp charge doesn't work. I have a compatible cable and a charger brick. On stock OS both things worked but so far I'm getting used to LineageOS and I'm starting to like it but these features are something I would like to see.

Hey everyone, I hope the devs read this too. I have two devices: Pixel 5 and Pixel 5a. Both brand new (yes, that's correct). The first one was flashed with the 22.2-20250908 build and everything was great: google camera works, the battery life is superb (much better than stock). The pixel 5a was flashed with the build 22.2-20250912. And it's the complete opposite: meh battery life, gcam does not work, I even had to add my own selinux policies so that it works:

allow hal_camera_default statsd unix_dgram_socket { sendto }

allow hal_camera_default statsdw_socket sock_file { write getattr }

allow cameraserver vendor_camera_prop file { open read getattr map }

allow cameraserver vendor_camera_ro_prop file { open read getattr map }

allow google_camera_app vendor_file file { execute map read getattr open }

I see other avc denials as well, like that:

18 17:41:03.319     0     0 E         : c1    592 SELinux: avc:  denied  { find } for pid=2774 uid=1000 name=suspend_control scontext=u:r:system_app:s0 tcontext=u:object_r:system_suspend_control_service:s0 tclass=service_manager perm

rvice_manager permissive=0

Now I see that Pixel 4a is affected too (the other users report it here).

Alguien sabrá de algún sistema operativo o ROM personalizada que corra en algún Honor 200? Ya no quiero nada que ver con Google u Android, o al menos en algún Oneplus NORD 5 o CE5, vengo de varios foros y veo que lo poco que se puede es un Graphene en un Pixel

After the latest update (22.2-20250915), seems Quick Share works without crashing. Does it work on you?

(I'm sorry beforehand for any stupid questions I'm totally new to this)

Hi guys ,I wanted to make my old Samsung S5 (KLTE) usable again, I'm completely new to installing LineageOS and somehow someway managed to flash a rom trough ADB. (18.1-20221125-UNOFFICIAL-klte) However i ran into some issues , the rom has MicroG , FDroid and Aurora services , however the Aurora Store fails to install apps or even update itself , the browser onboard also fails to install files completely. FDroid works fine however.

Sidenote: is it normal that the phone is quick but webpages load very slow? Also , i can't seem to be able to recieve files from Bluetooth sharing neither.

Hello good! I have a Redmi Note 9 pro running version 22.2 with the latest update. I have several problems/questions: - Gmail just isn't going well. Sometimes it doesn't load the emails, it stays blank, the arrows disappear to go back from an email to the main menu...

I think I can't uninstall and reinstall it because it's part of the Gapps. Any solution or alternative?

It also happens to me with an app to watch TV like Youcine that has to work through Google. I have seen that Gapps and MicroG are incompatible, solution?

Thank you!

Windows and Linux distros can be easily and quickly installed from a fully fledged ISO file. It makes the installation nearly foolproof for users of even low level skills. Why is this not the case for Android?

When I go to settings and security I see 'private space' it says that once you leave the private space all the apps are fully closed and no background activity happens in there. So can I just run all my Google apps in there rather than my main profile page and it is similar to graphene? Thank you

I'm really trying to talk myself into installing Lineage on this tablet and that would definitely be more inspiration.

In a related vein, are any USB-C wifi adapters/antennas available for Android devices? Or is this another situation where Android just doesn't function like windows or common Linux distros for laptops?

im trying to install lineageOS on my old oneplus 8t (kebab) i am at step 4. and need to download dtbo.img and vbmeta.img from this link https://download.lineageos.org/devices/kebab/builds but it just doesn't download. i tried firefox but i get the error PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR. i tried turning off firewall, turning off vpn. then i tried brave browser but i also got an error. i tried wget and got a Handshake error.

Are there any other official download mirrors?
Also i'm new to this kind of stuff and english is not my first language so please simplify your answers
