I've used Lineage and before that Cynogen of a variety of phones. Always "more or less" worked but always a few issues.

Most recently I have been using a NothingPhone 2. Lineage with MigroG, no GApps. It worked until is didn't. The updates stopped working - complaining of a certificate error. The 'Wise' bank app worked, but Revolut never worked. Maps and navigation were always iffy.

So I did the AI thing. Set up dev mode and USB debugging, and let my AI Agent (I used Hermes with GLM-5.3 in Ollama) do the work. I prompted it with "this is my phone, and updates fail with certificate errors". The agent did brilliantly well. It re-installed Lineage, reset the certificates, and now it seems to work better than ever. Both bank apps work, whatsapp, velamaps, comaps, and citymapper. That's pretty much all I use.

So, YMMV, but to all the people with intractable problems, perhaps try letting an AI agent loose on your phone.

I successfully flashed lineage os on Oneplus nord ce4 (benz). Feels great btw.

But display starts flickering when smooth display option is enabled. I have to turn it off (feels rough) or use force peak refresh rate (consumes alot of battery). It is more noticeable during low light when brightness is at almost 20%.

What should I do.

The upgrade guide says this (emphasis added):

If you are currently using (or now want to use) an application package add-on such as Google Apps, you have the following options:

• keep using them: Download the appropriate version now (use the arm64 architecture)
• remove them: You can only do so by performing a factory reset, which will also remove all your data.
• start using them: You can only do so by performing a factory reset, which will also remove all your data. Download the appropriate version now (use the arm64 architecture)

So I need to perform a factory reset to remove Google Apps. But there are multiple very different meanings of the term "factory reset" in Android custom firmwares. It can either mean wiping data but keeping the custom firmware, or going all the way back to the stock OS.

Does anyone know which is needed in this case? I would really rather not go back to stock if I can avoid it. Using MsmDownloadTool has been kind of a nightmare for me in the past.

I have android setup running in the active apps in quick settings panel and it is kind of annoying to look at. Is there any solution to remove it? Ps, I've tried force stopping android setup in the apps but it keeps on reappearing.

Hi everyone! I am a 15-year-old UI/UX designer and this is my very first project. I designed a complete open-source desktop environment based on Android/LineageOS. Since I don't know much about coding, I am looking for developers to collaborate and bring this vision to life! Check out the full concept and details here: https://github.com/DevrimworksStudio/Lineageos-Desktop-24.0-a-first-open-source-android-works-on-computers-only-desings-/blob/main/README.md

So i knew that before switching my Pixel 6a to Lineague, i would need to disable my authentication methods so that i wouldnt get locked out of my account when i reset my phone. But i ran into this issue: When you try to edit the 2fa settings, it asks for authentication, and all of the methods used there link back to my phone. If i were to switch my rom, i would get locked out of using 2fa forever. How do you guys get around this??

I have the OnePlus Pad 4 Global Version, model OPS2514.

And I was actually a bit interested in installing LineageOS after seeing a confirmed build for it.

There is the aspect that I WOULD still like to use the stylus though. And I just want to know, given that there is a LineageOS build for my device, if most of the functionality is retained.

Not looking for the OnePlus integration features like AI and other proprietary functions. Just stuff like the settings, being able to maintain the firmware, and use the squeeze and draw functions.

Hi, I've been thinking on getting a Motorola Moto G05 to install Lineage on it. After looking the guide i noticed it states that the phone needs to be a specific model (between XT2523-11 and XT2523-2)

However, i've checked on the official Motorola site (where i was going to buy it from) and i couldn't find the model number. I also tried asking support but it didn't help.

Is there something i can do to make sure I'm getting the right model before buying it?

Hello! I have installed an unofficial version of LOS on my OnePlus 15 a few months ago, but since then there has been an official release.

Should I install it from scratch (the normal way - formatting etc) or is there an option to kind of.. upgrade it?

Thanks

My Poco F1 running LineageOS 22.2 won't install any APKs, showing “App not installed.” I tried wiping FRP via ADB sideload but encountered an error. Can anyone help?

CMD Error ScreenShot

Hi guys, quick question. My S20FE (4G Snap) stopped working as regards Google services. So I had to factory reset it, since dirty flash (including a gapps package) didn't work.

Do you think that flashing the ROM updates via ADB and flashing together with it the new gapps version is more stable?

Thanks in advance

Hey guys!
So I did a dual mode years back. I like how I can OC using Tesla app in switch mode. Can the same be done in Android mode? I already partitioned my sd card to allocate more space in the Android side. Now I found out that the switch can do the same fml!

It’s mainly for emulation 2DS, 3DS and PSP portable etc.

I have a Pixel 4 running LineageOS 24, what I waited with this update is the Blur UI, but unfortunately it is somewhat turned off.

There is an option in Developer Options to toggle this on, but whenever I leave the Settings App, it will automatically revert back to off. There is no option on Accessibility to Reduce Blur, meaning (if im correct) this UI is intended to be turned off to reduce the gpu load.

The option I found and tried is by rooting my device and installing Enable-blurs module and its great knowing it can actually work. Also, adb method to enable this Blur UI is not working.

But, my problems are, apps keep crashing. I noticed after root, apps like Google Camera and Google Photos App keeps crashing, closing the only fixed i found with this issue is by unrooting my device, and dont like rooting.

Right now, my device is unrooted.

I am a teacher and found a Tab A (kids edition) at home. During the vacation I decided to install Lineage OS on it.

I have no regret at all. It became my everyday tablet for school. I use it with the Joplin app to sync files from my laptop. I feel I will purchase a Tab S7 to use next for the new term or another tab that using the S-pen. Can anyone give me any recommendations?

Not sure when but it used to be ok, now an app complains about it and refuse to run. Any help?

M2101K6G

Hello everyone,

yesterday, I cleared Cache and Data for Google Play Store and Google Play Services, as well as removed my Google-account after what appeared to me as a storage-issue.
The initial problem aside - since then I am unable to add any account.

When trying to do so ...
* I navigate to Settings -> Passwords, passkeys and accounts -> + Add account
* I select the account-type I want to add (e.g. Google, Dropbox, whatever ...)
* The screen changes to "Checking info ..." and promts to verify that it's me (biometrics/pattern)
* Reverts back to the "Add account"-screen after verifying, with no further action taken

This behaviour is identical, when trying to sign in via an app (e.g. Profile -> Sign in in the Google Maps app).

Has anyone ever ran into similar problems or can direct me towards a solution without a complete reinstall?

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Aequi

I have set up LineageOS and Rocknix in dual boot on an Ayn Odin 2 Portal and just now a minor update (from the updater app, staying on 24.0) overwrote ABL with the LineageOS one, preventing me from accessing Rocknix again.

Is there a way to prevent LineageOS updates from overwriting the ABL bootloader? I'd rather not have to constantly mess with fastboot after each and every one.

Hey there friends! :)

So after the bug of Google services, I thought about update lineageos, But I just wonder if its even worth it?
And if so, Do I need to factory reset to burn android 13 and then burn lineageos 24? Or when I want the GAPSS?

Tell me if I mistake: As I read on the guide, Its said if I only want to update, I need to do it with adb, install before GAPPS and then the lineageos update

Thanks for the help :)

hi all! is there a way to disable lineage os 24 desktop mode? i do not mean desktop mode via 2nd monitor but the windows like behavior of screens/apss (maximize, minimize, close buttons on the right top). i want to enable the old behaviour.

thx in advance

Hi all,

I recently installed LineageOS 24 on my Pixel 6, and I have realized that neither RCS nor Call Screening is working. Are these features unsupported by LineageOS 24?

I am asking because I can see the Call Screening options (Maximum, Medium, and Basic Protection), but the Screen button does not do anything when I receive a call. I have also read that Call Screening works with NikGapps but not with MindTheGapps. Could this be a bug?

Regarding RCS, the Messages app says, "RCS chat status: Not supported." I am sure RCS is not a Pixel-exclusive feature. Are certain libraries missing?

Thanks!

Hi, I have an S24 Ultra running UI 8.5; how can I install a custom ROM? Thanks.

SOLVED. Thanks to everybody and especially to u/ProximusXX.

My H4233 has only Android 8.0.0 and the software update in the phone settings says it's the latest available (even after refreshing). The LineageOS installation guide says that the device needs Android 9. Installed the Sony Xperia Companion software in hope it offers an update possibility but it only "repairs" the device. Still Android 8.0.0. No OTA update possible.

Should I do the LineageOS installation guide despite of Android 8? Is there an installation guide for an older LineageOS which is compatible with Android 8 (and later easily updatable to the newest LineageOS)?

Thanks in regards.

Estoy intentando instalar Linage OS en mi redmi note 9 pro, pero debo desbloquear el Fasboot y la app mi unlock no sirve, se queda pegada en la pantalla de autenticacion sin mostrar nada, no sirve ni usando wine o Windows, existe otra opción para desbloquear el Fasboot del redmi note 9?

I have a Pixel 4a, which I just updated to version 24 (android 17).

I've been using it without payments for the last 2+ years like this, but I was wondering if there is someone who runs an unlocked device with payments working.

Don't feel like doing some unstable irreversible solution that is going to compromise my daily device, but if there is a solution that is not too difficult to install and stable, I could think about doing it.

Thanks.
