Hi, guys,I want to port a Pac-man rom to our glides, but, my internet is only 512, my pc is very good for the work, but my internet no. 1 Night and only 800 mb. (and i think that there was a error and cut the connection)
My question is. Can I download all the repo (Pac-man gith andour device tree) in another pc using windows, and use that file in my linux OS? I can go to download in another place, but only with windows. If the answer is Yes, where can I learn how to do that?

I don't see why not, unless your repo is OS specific...
I would set up a virtual linux machine and use that to do everything, as it will cause less hiccups. Easier to build on there, or so I'm told...
EDIT: Do you want to work together? I'm trying to port as well. Just a basic port, using this guide:

Wow, your guide seems very easy, and there is an app to do it too.
I will try to see if i can install linux in one of these machines to download all.
I dont know any about porting, or fixing things in android, I want to learn and I am using Dman's Tutorial, so, not sure if I can help doing a real rom

i want to do a pacrom as well.. ive been really busy the last 2 weeks though so havent had a chance to fix my ubuntu install... my build environment is almost done, just gave me errors.. well need to setup a repo on github... for now though its not a bad idea to be patient and allow everyone to focus on fixing the cm that spyke is working on.. thats one thing i wonder about the greatergood .. if he focused on one fully working vs many broken if we'd have a bluetooth fix...
Yes, but in that time, I will learn, I see minor errors when sync the repo, but continue (sometimes the conection broke it but can restart) I first want to learn

ya cool I'm with you ... When I have some free time next I will fix my devel. Let's work on this together im sure we can help eachother out quite a bit and put together an updated how-to compile from source for 4.2.2.
I don't see any reason why you can't download all of the items you need under windows. The only thing you'd need to be concerned when copying it back is file permissions ... shouldn't be an issue, though.
Question, though, what makes you believe it would be faster downloading in windows vs linux ? is your windows computer a laptop that you'll be taking somewhere else to download? ...
Yes, I will go to another place to download all. If I dont do that, I never going to finish
Hi everyone!
This is just my corner where I drop the builds of Lineage-15.1 that I personally use. They do contain a few smaller customisations, like a custom kernel and other goodies that I personally need. I'm posting this here in case somebody finds them to be useful.
Nooby Disclaimer:
I'm not a developer and just because I've got a thread here, doesn't mean I fully know what I'm doing when modding or building ROMs. What I publish is used by myself personally and thereby tested as daily driver. If something still breaks and your phone doesn't survive the smoke test, that's your problem and not mine.
Builds will mostly cater towards my needs if I have any special wishes with the hopes that the changes are useful or interesting for someone else as well (won't be too deep changes I think).
Some info/bugs specific to this build:
SELinux defaults to permissive
Make sure you tell OpenGapps to keep LineageOS Snap installed, Google Camera crashes.
Fails SafetyNet Test, don't use if you need that to verify.
OTA Support (Can somebody confirm that it works?.). The Updater should notify you of a new version.
Other than that, there's not much to say about it. It's LineageOS 15.1, what more could you wish for?

I'm going to ignore the passive-aggressiveness and just go ahead and argue that with time that my builds will deviate a tiny bit from vanilla Lineage here and there, be it only tiny tweaks and goodies like Pixel Navbar, kernel with Kali Nethunter support and OTA support. Besides, I wouldn't expect a 14.1 thread to contain Lineage15.1, now would I? Fss.

No need to get snippy. Just commenting that I've been running builds for weeks now bringing up 15.1, and there's 40+ people in the hangouts group I made. I can't stop you from releasing builds or building from my sources (and nor do I care to), just letting you know that it's incorrect to say nobody's been building unofficials.
Sorry, I do apologise, but your comment did sound passive-aggressive even after reading over it multiple times. My point still stands though.

Not sure what you are asking, but I had to override the build type branding to NIGHTLY in order to have the OTA server working. Just flash it over the old version. If you're using twrp and it doesn't want to flash, I'll have a Lineage recovery here, flashing that and then flashing the update using the lineage recovery always worked for me. http://tf2glados.dynv6net:8080/LineageRecovery/
Otherwise, just update TWRP. I tried it with the latest TWRP version just now and it works.

Hello, thank you for working on this.
I flashed it yesterday and had an issue with mounting USB to my windows computer.
It worked on the first boot, and I was able to pull down the notification bar and tell it to transfer files. However on subsequent boots it did not give me such an option, although rebooting to recovery with the cable plugged in the same way mounted the device in my computer.

I haven't had any issues with that and I wouldn't consider it a build-specific bug, but I might be able to help you anyway. Plug in the phone, go to developer options and tap on "Select USB Configuration" and set it to MTP. That mostly fixes hiccups with USB modes for me. Otherwise, try replacing the cable if you're using the original Nextbit one that came with it. Mine became really unreliable soon after buying the phone, so I replaced it with a better (USB 3.1, even) cable and now it just works.

I'll rebuild when I get home, so that will include this fix.
Short note here, my Raspi server died on me again, so sorry for the dead links again. Buuut I'll be home soon, so I can get around fixing the Pi and the downloads will be up again just in time for a new build.
Enjoying the new build so far! Pretty good for me.

Dear reader,
since a couple of days my device (samsung S7: SM-G930F) is running low on battery really quick. So I thought; it has been a while since my device asked me to update the new Lineage version. So I gave the app the instruction to look for updates, and it gave me the following notification.
Can't connect to download site. Please retry later.
When actually
You device is supported by the lineageOS team, but there are no versions that support this type of publication: Nightly. (this is translated from Dutch, so actual English sentece might be different).
Switching to Snapshot instead of Nightly in the Settings didn't help.
Then when searching again for updates it gave me the message:
No source file
Request for file: lineage-14.1-20181124-nightly-herolte-signed.zip To reconstruct the last update, the zip of the app should actually be installed. Do you want to select this file manually from storage, or download the last full zip-version?
When I press: download full zip-file it gives the following:
Error during implementation. Try to refresh.
When I click on select file (from storage), and select lineage-14.1-20180927-nightly-herolte-signed.zip, it gives me the message:
You should select the right source file. But I don't have that one on my storage; it's froma different date.
Can anyone help me please?
Kind regards,
Chris

S7 is no longer officially supported by lineageOS. You can search here in XDA for unofficial ROMs.
I have no big hope that a new ROM will really solve your battery issue. Most of the the success stories are a result of a clean ROM installation.

In addition to the outstanding information that @kurtn had provided...
There's no Official LineageOS Updater Apps on the Play Store.
The reason is that they have an implemented LineageOS Updater built into the Firmware and has no need to provide any such app separately from the firmware. That would just be counterproductive to the built in Updater.
The LineageOS Updater App(s) on the Play Store is via a 3rd party developer. I'm not stating that any/all of them are either good or bad but, individuals need to know that their Unofficial and is in no way supported by the Official Lineage Team Maintainers.
Just a few (so to speak) words of advice to keep in mind. I remember asking about them (quite a while ago) and those were the types of words/thoughts by @invisiblek and @haggertk (whose a part the Official Lineage Lead Maintainers).
No lectures here... Just some friendly information for you My Friend!
Good Luck!

Hi Kurt and Ibuprophen, thanks for your answers!
Now I have finally holiday and time to actually fix things it's time to continue this
So current situation;
Phone running out of battery within half a day without frequent using, apps crashing > update definitely required.
Phone model: Samsung S7 SM-930F
LineageOS version: 14.1-20181124-NIGHTLY-herolte (so last update is over a year old)
Android version 7.1.2
Options:
1. Just reset to factory settings? Most easy option, but I think it will have negative influence when I use the phone for another year?
2. I found this unoficcial ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/beta-lineageos-16-0-s7-herolte-t3842465, however, it doesn't include instructions and it is very technical and it speaks of Android 9 as base, which I don't have; just 7.1.2. Would that be a problem?
3. Update to 15.1 instead if that is easier?
So what would be your advice? Please bear in mind that I am a technical noob and can only follow instructions that are extremely clear & correct
Until now I haven't found instructions I felt comfortable with unfortunately.
By the way my laptop has Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.2

Oh, looks like ivan does a good job. I think it is a good idea to install his rom.
But be aware: whatever it is, that eats your battery, it can come back.
Edit: be aware: from the threads it looks like 15.1 and 16.0 are not SELinux enforcing. So the gain of security is not as high as one would expect from security patch level. So you can try a factory reset of 14.1 as well.
Do you think there is an easy, technical-illiterates-friendly way to install this version of ivan? I am not that keen to have the highest possible security.
When I am emptying the phone anyway, it seems best to me to have the most recent version (if it doesn't matter that I have android 7.1 and not android 9).

Hi all. Please forgive me if this is not the appropriate place for my question, and kindly point me to where. I tried to look for a microg targeted thread and couldn't seem to find one. I'm also kind of a newbie in general, so you may have to be a little verbose with some of your responses. I made sure to read microg's official docs on how to install over lineage.
My question comes in two parts; 1. Do I actually need to do this for my specific case? and 2. For my specific case, is there anything specific in which their official instructions might not cover.
So here is what I keep referring to as "my specific case".
My device is a OnePlus 7 Pro. I had LinageOS with microg 17 on it. Things worked great. Including microg. I recently upgraded to Lineage 18, as per their official documentation for how to upgrade major versions. Well, I was so focused on not bricking my device because I was so nervous. As I said, I'm a newbie. Much of this is out of my comfort zone. I wasn't paying attention to the fact I was using lineage's zip/img/rom that I was installing, and not the microg one specifically. I had many other complications with the upgrade and was tracking all of those down. Now, things seem to generally work ok, but there are many apps giving me issues because of no google play services. At first, some would just alert me, and then keep working. So I just kinda wrote it off, and figured this was just an issue with version 18 or something. They had an OTA update the other day, and now those apps just flat out won't work anymore. At first it didn't even cross my mind that it was because I installed the img from lineage's repos, and not microg's specifically. Because I still have the microg app installed. I will note, from reading the "Post-install" section in microg's documentation, I don't see the two plug-ins which they say are installed by default. MozillaNlpBackend and NominatimNlpBackend. So I feel like this is because I installed the non-microg img.
As I started searching around for how to fix my issue, it's basically led me to the point of my first question. "Do I actually need to re-install the microg specific img?" I think the answer is Yes. But I just wanted to confirm since I still have the microg settings app, and for a little while, some apps worked prior to this last upgrade.
So, if the answer is yes to my first question. My second question, is there anything specific I need to do since I kinda fudged up the upgrade? Do I need to uninstall microg settings? I noticed in microg's install instructions under the "Migration from LineageOS" section. They mention things such as "you can't directely flash our ROM on top of the official LineageOS while keeping your data". So does this mean in my case I can't keep my data? And there is a specific note for "Unofficial builds" of all the apps that I had such as F-droid, and microG's apps (GmsCore, GsfProxy, FakeStore and mapsv1 API). I had these, but they were from the official lineage 17 with microg I had prior to the upgrade. So those are not "Unofficial" right? As well as their mention of "GApps". Does that mean everything I installed through Aurora Store?
I basically want to know if there is any other "gotchya's" or "in your case, you should x y z" type of questions. I think it's clear that since I did just OTA update I probably need to wait on the next release as per their install instructions. Right? Let me know if there is any other details I can provide in order to help better answer my questions. Thanks in advance for your help.
Your case is not so special. Flash lineage.microg.org zip

Thank you for your response @kurtn. So I guess you are saying, I do in fact need to flash. Correct? And I don't need to uninstall the microg settings app? Also, do I need to prepare for backing up and saving my personal data even though their documentation says it can't carry it over? And I don't need to wait for the next version even though there documentation says I do? I'm sorry for the newbie questions. I just want to make sure my assumptions are correct. TY
I just fixed my issue, and tested pretty much everything. It all seems to be fixed and working as expected. I will answer my question in case it helps someone else.
1. Do I actually need to do this for my specific case? Yes
2. For my specific case, is there anything specific in which their official instructions might not cover. No, not really.
I waited for a newer release before flashing the microG version of LineageOS. I'm not sure if it was required or not. But since their official documentation said to, I did. Then I followed their official instructions, and everything worked flawlessly. I've tested all apps and services; phone calls, texts, etc. It all seems to be working just fine.
@kurtn was not wrong. All I needed to do was flash the microG version of LineageOS. But since I was hesitant, and wanted confirmation specifically a few details like; Do I need to backup personal data? Do I need to wait for the next release? etc. I held off on attempting it.
Hopefully that helps someone.
I apologise in advance if this is the wrong place to post this..
I recently got a Ulefone power armor 13 that I've been trying to to de-google, I've avoided smartphones for a long time due to concerns about tracking ect but I decided to take the plunge after seeing articles online about privacy focused google android alternatives.
The one I've really been trying to get to run is CalyxOS, I know it only officially supports a limited number of smartphones but there are some unofficial GSI ROMs of it. I really liked the idea of being able run both open source apps and google apps with spoofing, I know I said that I was trying to degoogle this phone but the simple fact is there are a few google apps I'd like to run if I can avoid the tracking.
Unfortunately I've only had dead ends and headache trying to to get them to install but I have had some luck getting AOSP GSI to install so I'd like to try something new.
Can anyone recommend a GSI rom that has either microg or some other way of spoofing google? Or alternatively a way of adding it to a AOSP GSI rom?
Many thanks for your time.
What do you mean by "spoofing Google"?
Spoofing may have been the wrong term to use, what I meant by "spoofing Google" was some means of allowing google apps run without my data getting back to them.

From what I've read online microg does this by somehow creating a fake ID for the device. Now my laypersons understanding may have have got this wrong if I have I would appreciate it if you could point me in the direction of some reliable info?
If I understood everything correctly this would need to be used along side the Aurora store or a similar app store to get the full benefit of it.
Maybe a better way to phrase my request would have been are there any GSI roms that do the same thing as CalyxOS or is it possable to get something similar with a stock AOSP GSI image and adding microg to it myself?

I'm not sure if you had any luck or not. I thought I would follow up to this. I don't know why there's not much posting info on GSI ROM's. From what I've found there are ROM's available for what you are looking for. I did find some degoogled GSI ROM's even with or without microG preinstalled. If you need a list of some, I can provide you. I'm not sure they will work, but it is sometimes a trial and error. For the phone you listed you should be able to get some to work though.
Hi defcondoc
Thanks for taking th time to reach out to me, I currently have the phone running an Arrowos GSI ROM from the phhutson ROM list and so far its been ok for me though I would be REALLY happy to have list of other possible ROMS to play/tinker with. Afterall you never know what you might find unless you try new things.
If you have the time send me the list you have I would be really greatfull, I don't mind if they don'e have microg preinstalled at this point so long as its clearly marked that its not prinstalled.
Thanks again.
