I'm planning on saving up for the oldest Google Pixel model that I can find that supports 5G, because that has better support for non Android operating systems, but until then, would a good stopgap solution be to try to build and flash Lineage to this device?

Hey, before I make a bug report has anyone had an issue with Amazfit watches? When I go to Bluetooth and select it the watch will disappear from the list and then show back up. Repeats when clicked again.

Thanks,

I'm currently running Lineage on my Redmi Note 13 Pro (Garnet) and haven't been able to receive RCS messages whatsoever. I know that Google's been cracking down on RCS access for custom ROMs and such, and it seems like there's mixed results with rooting solutions.

So am I genuinely just cooked? I despise Xaiomi's stock OS and refuse to use it. Has a workaround been found? Is there an alternative OS to Lineage? Or am I just gonna have to get a new phone?

I have a Google Pixel 7 Pro with LineageOS 23.2 installed. Recently, a notification appeared in the silent notification section of the pulldown menu saying I can install Android 17. If I do it, will my Lineage installation be ok, or will it try to reinstall Google's stuff? I can stay on Android 16 if I need to, but the notification is kind of annoying because it keeps coming back.

I'm a newbie to this, so wanted some help. I have an old Samsung Tab A, you can see the full specs here.

This is running on android 7.1.1. It's still a fairly great device with good battery as it wasnt really used much but obviously its slow with the bloatware and is losing compatibility from apps due to the outdated android version. I did my own research and seems like LineageOS 17.1, Android 10 would be a good fit for my tab.

Wanted recommendations/suggestions from this community on whether that's a solid option or if there's a better option for an old tab from 2015

I made a ringtone, and apparently commissioning it is against the rules. Why is it?

I must find myself a WizTree alternative for Android. I mist have carried that bloat for over a year. WizTree makes detection of such cases dead easy on windows! No offending program goes unnoticed.

A contributing factor may have been that I postponed updating to LOS 23 for probably a year. Maybe SeedVault went haywire because of that...

Motorola G52

Just installed 23.2-20260718-NIGHTLY-ingot vanilla (no gapps) and every app that interacts with the camera is having issues.

The Lineage camera app shows the camera feed for about second, freezes about three times, and then an error message appears with "Error while setting up the session. The app will try to recover" twice, followed by, "A critical error has been found. Please report this to the dev..."

OpenCamera has the same stuttery-frames issue for a few seconds, before the camera feed just freezes.

Anyone know a fix?

I have an old xperia sp that i use with the stock Android 4.3 but it's really slow ans annoying because it keep asking me for a sim and for m'y language each time.

From what i read, only lineage 14 will work on such an older phone. My main goal is just to put lineage, put musicolet or another music player, maybe use a dac, and use it as a mp3 player, is it a good idea ? And is it really possible ?

I upgraded from 23.0 to 23.2 and I'm experiencing connectivity issues with a critical app, it sits on "connecting" whereas on wifi it works fine. I believe it is related to the APN forcing IPv6, but the auto-configured APN is slightly different from what I have been told to use by my ISP.

I have tried editing the APN config file on the vendor partition, along with a few other things but nothing has worked.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I'm planing to migrate to LineageOS because One UI is upsetting me lately, one thing holding me back is because I see a lot of people saying there can be problems with Banks.

Can I migrate and still use my bank apps normally? (I'm from Brazil, if this information is relevant)

Hi, I'm from India and want to upgrade the operating system of my Mi A3, I've already done an Android 14 upgrade on a Samsung S7 Edge by laptop.

please guide me

is it possible to change the default apps? and what about having different profiles in order to separate google apps from other applications?

Would a version optimized for gaming be possible?

I really want to collaborate create something with y'all.

Hello! I'm sharing a fix regarding the Moto G9 Play (guamp) 'brick' issue. I noticed that the standard LineageOS recovery fails to boot (black screen) on units equipped with the Himax display panel.

​It seems the stock LineageOS recovery kernel has trouble initializing the Himax driver on these specific hardware batches. I confirmed this by successfully booting into PitchBlack and TWRP recovery, which handles the display driver correctly.

​If you are experiencing a 'hard brick' on a guamp device with this panel, try using OrangeFox instead of the standard Lineage Recovery. Hope this helps someone else!

Hope this helps someone else! Has anyone else with the Himax panel encountered this, or found a way to fix the Lineage Recovery kernel?

Hello. I've got a small problem. I followed step 3 (samloader flash --partition VBMETA vbmeta.img). The instructions say the phone will reboot and demand a factory reset. It's not demanding one though. Does anyone know how I should proceed?

After I wrote lineageos into emmc, I couldn't enter the system without a Bluetooth adapter, so I gave up using lineageos;

But the despair is that I can't clear emmc. I used aml-flash-tool and tried again many times, but it still booted to the bootloader, as if I didn't have permission to write to emmc, but the writing result of aml-flash-tool was successful;

I tried to enter fastboot mode and delete all partitions directly, but it still failed because there was no ORM unlocked, so I couldn't write anything;

Great, my bpi-m5 is now successfully a brick and cannot boot from the sd card either;

Hello. So I got a new Xiaomi 12 and managed to unlock the bootloader. It was running MIUI 13 on stock. After reading through the LOS site for installation instructions for cupid(the phone codename), it was mentioned that I needed at least an android 15 Stock OS on it before I try to flash the latest, which at current moment is LineageOS 23.2. So I went into the phone's updates app and downloaded the higher version of the OS that was pending an install, which was MIUI 14. After that no more updates show. Apparently the next versions are supposed to be for HyperOS, but they don't show up at all. I even tried the region trick as other people have said it helped, but it didn't help here.

So my question is, can I just get the Hyperos roms from the internet and flash them one by one on the device, so it goes to android 14, and then finally 15, before I try to flash the Lineage rom? Will flashing those roms lock the bootloader again, as I saw that it can be very tricky to unlock on HyperOS?

Update: I used the official Miflash program to flash the latest HyperOS 3 Rom for this device, and all went well, booted into it with no issues. Hopefully this helps other people in the future :)

Hi!

It looks like a nice os but I think I must be doing something wrong because I noticed:

• Battery is constantly draining even with the console sleeping
• Can't assign back buttons to independent functions. I can only copy other button function.
• Home button acts weird. Sometimes doesn't respond at all, sometimes brings me to a menu that asks if I want to change the default home app.

I am doing something wrong, right?

Appreciate your help

Greetings,

From a regular android os, I was trying to switch to LineageOS without gapps. Until android 15 in lineageOS it was good to go installing apps without gapps flashed, but in android 16 I was unable to install any app through package installer but I can install with adb sideload. I don't logout from google accounts generally before flashing custom roms, but is it the FRP ( Factory Reset Protection) enabled that's causing the restriction and hence gapps are not there so FRP verification is not done and continuing while locked?, and if so do I need to wipe the FRP partition for that? What are your thoughts?

I'm keen to install LineageOS on my old Pixel 2 XL (taimen). I'm following the instructions at https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/taimen/install/ and I'm stuck on step frickin' 1.

I'm using MacOS 26.5, although I've also tried on Windows 10. I successfully installed adb and fastboot (long ago; I've updated recently). I've wiped the Pixel. Developer options are enabled, USB debugging is enabled, "Disable adb authorization timeout" is enabled, Default USB configuration is "File transfer / Android Auto" (although I've tried USB tethering, MIDI, and PTP).

When I reach step 6 under "Setting up adb", I get an empty list. system_profiler SPUSBHostDataType shows a bunch of USB devices, but no pixel | taimen | google.

I tested the cable with a different computer and an iPad (hurray for USB-C), and it synched with the iPad: I'm pretty sure the cable is good.

I've tried a USB-A port directly on the back of the Mac Mini, as well as two different USB-A ports on an old hub. Both of the ports connect to my old trackball, so I'm pretty sure the ports are okay. Both are black.

I've tried a USB-C to USB-C cable, again testing with an iPad to make sure it worked for data.

I tried a MacBook and a Windows 10 laptop.

I ran the adb server with ADB_TRACE=usb, and it occasionally reports usb_osx.cpp:168 Unable to create an interface plug-in (e00002be).

About every 15 seconds, the system log reports:
Jul 17 00:01:45 mini MobileDeviceUpdater[1031]: Entered:_AMMuxedDeviceDisconnected, mux-device:9830 Jul 17 00:01:45 mini AMPDeviceDiscoveryAgent[1407]: Entered:_AMMuxedDeviceDisconnected, mux-device:9830 Jul 17 00:01:45 mini MobileDeviceUpdater[1031]: Entered:__thr_AMMuxedDeviceDisconnected, mux-device:9830 Jul 17 00:01:45 mini AMPDeviceDiscoveryAgent[1407]: Entered:__thr_AMMuxedDeviceDisconnected, mux-device:9830
And increments the mux-device number.

NOTHING will recognize this phone. I'm at the end of my rope. What am I doing wrong?
