Lineage OS

When one downloads a new update through the built-in updater, where does the file get put? I'm having trouble during the automated update process with the latest TWRP, and would like to do the dirty manual update

It appears that the new devices have been silently changed by Google to no longer allow you to have the same functionality you did before. Boot loader unlocking is now impossible unless someone can find an exploit.

Here are the images of the inside just in case its useful:

I don't know where else to post this. Please help spread the message about Google screwing us over.

I am planning for a TV Box + Display setup for my parents.

1. Banana Pi M5 ( lineageos available )
2. 32 inch HDMI Monitor ( or a non smart TV )

Can you provide your setup , pros/cons.

I especially like the Camera app as if feels very modern without all of the bloat. All the apps feel like they belong in modern Android. It is clear that lots of work has gone into the core apps.

Hello, as you can see in the following picture, I have some issue with an app, I think that media storage and external storage are used by some apps though I don't have any clue about which one, Does this happened to any of you ? For your information, my phone is a mi A1 that run on lineage OS nightly Tissot 20 : 20-20240605-NIGHTLY-tissot The problem happened before I made an update so it's probably not related

I hope I do not break any rule from this community

Have a nice day you all :)

If you go to setting>sound and vibration>media you see a setting called "Show assistant media recommendations" which is "based off of your activity". Because Assistant is capitalized, I assume it refers to google assistant. I have no gapps, so i dont have google assistant. anybody have ideas about this?

I've got a lineageos phone and I was just scanning my network to find my server and saw it had port 3283 open with the service netassistant. Apparently it's an apple remote desktop reporting thing, but I have barely got any apps installed. The apps I have are:

• newpipe
• osmand+
• neo store
• kde connect

I can rule out kde connect from this because it uses port 1714-1764. It is an official build with no Gapps.

Hello. I note that previous versions of the LineageOS Messaging app had support for including emojis. This recent version does not include such an option. The keyboard choices are simply either letters or numbers. Is there a way to once again have this option in the LineageOS Messaging app?

Note, I do not have Google Play Services installed. I rely solely on LineageOS along with some additional f-droid apps (and this is something I have always relied on since I began using LineageOS some years ago, starting with a Nexus 5 -- I now have a Google Pixel 4a running LineageOS 21).

solved: Going to Settings/System/Keyboard allowed me to enable the emoji option.

I want to stop using Samsung. But I can't install any custom ROM to my phone. My phone is Samsung Galaxy A51 4G. Is there a way to use Lineage OS via stable updates or any other ROMs.

Has anyone else come across this? I'm running 21-20240419-NIGHTLY-panther and I don't get notifications until I open the app, at least in Signal and WhatsApp, and I suspect Gmail too. I already set the apps to unrestricted battery usage (including the hard-to-find extra setting when you press to the left of the "Allow background usage" toggle ) and I disabled the "Battery Manager" (which I could only find by searching in settings, there doesn't appear to be a button for it in the settings, separately...)

Is there anything else I could try? I have a Pixel 7.

Hey !

On LOS 21, the app DeviceLockController is there, but it can't be stopped neither disable, at least from my side.

There's another one I don't trust, Android System Intelligence, but I could stop it and disable it.

Those two apps really are scary to be part of LOS. Is anyone aware of bugs on LOS about getting rid of them?

How about DeviceLockController? A reasonable way to disable it without risking too much bricking the phone in the process?

Thanks !

Currently Xiaomi 11 lite 5g NE is supported by the community and I would like to install the lineage OS on it. I would like to know (or where I can find this information) for how long my phone will receive updates or on average how long a phone stops being maintained once it starts being maintained. I would also like to know how long my device has been supported, whether recently or around 2021-2022. Thanks for your help

I've noticed that the system takes a lot of RAM. How do I free some up?

Edit: a reboot fixed it

Do we have a default application for Note?

I know it sounds mundane, but we have calculator, sound recorder, music player, even web browser. It just seems a bit strange we don't have a basic plain-text note application.

I usually use Markor. I have no complaint overall except that it would stick out like sore thumb on my front screen due to it not having the themed icon.

Devs & fellow users, what do y'all think?

I purchased a Pixel 7 for my wife specifically to install Lineage OS 21, replacing a Samsung Galaxy which hasn't received updates for years. She hates changing phones, but I sold her on a Pixel + Lineage so she can keep the phone as long as possible, still receiving OS updates.

I'm super happy with the outcome, finding Lineage to be a huge win. However, my wife is extremely particular about customizing her interface, and finds Lineage (or maybe it's just the newer Android 14?) lacking the customization options she wants. She's coming from a much older Android version, possibly relying on a few Samsung-specific options.

In particular, Lineage's Trebuchet launcher doesn't seem to let her group apps as folders in the app drawer (tray?) - only on the primary Home screen. When she swipes up, she gets an overload of apps all at once, and she wants to group those into folders the same way the Home screen allows. The Home screen itself she prefers to keep super clean. The config she likes was easy to setup her older Samsung running vendor-ROM Android, and she's super frustrated that she can't seem to get that under Lineage.

Also, she absolutely hates the default app icons and font choices. I'm hoping to get a recommendation for a replacement Launcher, and/or add-on apps that allow her to customize these specific settings. F-Droid apps would be ideal, though paid GApps (ugh!) would still do in a pinch. I just want her to love her new phone, and without these options she never will.

Thanks so much!

I have LineageOS installed on my phone and it has almost weekly updates. Since the device is quite budget, I believe its memory can be damaged by such often updates so I'm not updating it for 2 months already. But there are security fixes and patches in newer versions so I do want to update. My question is: do I have to install every update one by one (there are like 8 of them lol) or can I just install the newest version? All of the updates are minor of course. There are no Android version jumps

EDIT: I installed the latest version as everyone suggested and everything seems to be working fine. Thank you all for help

I have a Google Pixel 4a. I have LineageOS on it (codename Sunfish). When I first installed it I got regular updates each week. But now I haven't received one since March 16. Have they stopped releasing these? Do I now have to try and build updates myself?

When I started using LineageOS on my Redmi Note 9 Pro, there were a couple of releases available, one was LOS 18.1 and the other one was LOS 19.1, but as time went, the los 18.1 downloads were gone and then the same happened to the 19.1 releases.

Thankfully, I have the version that I want already downloaded in my machine, but if someone wanted to download now those prior versions... well, good luck it seems.

Edit: yes, I know about archive.org, but can't download.lineageos.org provide access to prior versions somehow? Is it because of storage costs?

I have a Nothing Phone 1 but unfortunately, no one's currently maintaining it. I was thinking of doing it myself but I don't really know where to start. Would be great if you could give me some pointers.

@lineageos I request you to release Android 14 for Mi 11X(alioth)

Form that committ, it seems to me that LOS is finally allowing signature spoofing for microg (under certain conditions). Have they finally changed their mind?

I recently got this second hand nvidia shield, and heard lineageOS was compatibile. I have access to this guide https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/foster/variant1/ but I'm having some doubts about its compatibility. Can someone confirm?

Although GPS or hardware based location does work on LineageOS, it seems there is no easy way to get software based Network Location officially on LineageOS due to UnifiedNLP getting deprecated and merged to GMS Core. (Also see this post)

After discussing with community and my own research, there are 2 ways to get it on LineageOS-

1. Either get LineageOS for MicroG. Problem with that being it is not official.
2. Or get some older version of UnifiedNLP with MinMicroG (also an older version) or some other 3rd party installer.

Both of these are complicated and risky (as flashing can brick a phone) processes for something that is software based and is only half part of location services as GPS still works, meaning imo, you aren't getting your effort's worth. Especially noobs.

This post is an upto date guide for future users (as not many might get difference between GPS and Network Location) while also inviting suggestions for older users on how they dealt with the problem.

How is battery life on your instantnoodle and what is your general experience? Do you like LOS 20 better?
