Lineage OS update cause lost of some settings - LineageOS Questions & Answers

Hi there,
I'm trying the Lineage OS ROM on my Nexus 5. The rom working very well and I'm very satisfied of this, anyway I've noticed a little problem that comes when I update the nightly with the update tool available in Lineage OS rom.
The situation is this: I've installed the Pixel Launcher on the system partition, so I've organized all the folder in the home of the phone, when I flash a new nightly the Lineage OS will switch automatically to Trebuchet launcher (the default launcher) and I'll lost all the folder organization that I did.
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong in each rom update, but this situation is very annoying for me.
Anyone have experienced this issue? Some help for this?
Thanks.

Sounds like a job for magisk or a different ROM with a launcher you like better.

Sensors stop working with any 7.1.1. Bullhead custom ROM

So, I'm very eager to upgrade to a 7.1.1 custom ROM from 6.0.1 (currently using Dirty Unicorns 6.0.1), but I seem to have an issue with any android 7.1.1 version of a custom ROM I install where the sensors for auto rotate and auto brightness stop working. I've tried complete wipes and resets and installed crDroid, resurrection remix dirty unicorns and lineage OS. All of them have the same result. When downloading any apps that can be used to test and calibrate sensors, they all will read for that the sensor is unavailable for all hardware in the phone except for Wifi and GPS. Is this a general issue with android 7.0.1 on nexus 5x or is this just me? I've yet to find any other forums or pages with anyone experiencing this.
Any suggestions at all on this? I don't want to be stuck using Android 6 forever.
Any advice that can be offered would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure you read the OP of the ROM you are installing.
Clean flash everything with correct vendor image.

I have a similar problem with every 7.1.1 custom ROM. Lift to check phone is not working (and yes, ambient display is enabled, vendor is correct). Every stock-based 7.1.2 ROM does work. Try flashing Stock+ 7.1.2 and see if your sensors work.

I am always clean flashing. What do you mean by correct vendor image? It's always a bullhead version of the ROM. Maybe I misunderstand what you mean.

There is something called vendor image that you have to flash along with the ROM. It's generally linked to the build number.
Read the OP of the ROM you are using, it should have the correct vendor image you should use. If THE OP does not mention anything about the Vendor image, just search the thread or politely ask what vendor image to use.
Hopefully someone should link the download link for you. If not, you can easily Google it.

Ohh. I was never aware of having to do something like this. I've always just downloaded the ROM and flashed it. Really appreciate this! Thanks! I'll have to give this a try.

You were right!
I downloaded the latest image from google and used the flash-all.bat script through fastboot, reflashed twrp, flashed crDroid 7.1.1, got a vendor image mismatch error on boot, then flashed the recommended vendor image version and now I'm booting without error and all sensors are working! I noticed Wifi detection and connection were working a but slow before, now everything is working perfectly. I was completely unaware that this needed to be done. It never came up as an issue for me when I was on Nexus 5.
I love the XDA community! Thanks a million for your help!

All media lags on phone, but not in browser

[SOLVED]
Tahnks to hsss1231
Solution:
I found a way to solve it.
1. root mi 5s
2. download 'buildprop' from play store
3. Probably the first 'audio.deep_buffer.media' in 'AUDIO' is 'True'
4. Change 'True' to 'False'
then the problem is solved.
Hey,
I have a problem with my Mi5S. Videos and audios does not play properly.
When I try to play a video or audio there is a strange buzzing sound, videos stutter and audios stuck between 0:00 and 0:01.
This is happening at almost all apps (Gallery, youtube, facebook, instagram...) only exceptions I notice are browsers and x-plore video player
I uploaded screen record of the problem. First I open youtube app there is problem. Second I open chrome there is no problem.
I first encounter this problem after I installed TWRP and LineageOS. I updated LOS one week later and problem was gone but it came back. I thought this was a bug of LOS. Ive tried installing dolby drivers. Ive wiped dalvic cache, cache and data. Reinstalled LOS. Ive installed Resurrection Remix. But non of them work.
Please help what can cause this problem and how can i solve this?

Maybe new firmware can solve the problem? Search error 7 fix and flash latest firmware in recovery. No wipe needed.

You probably have the wrong firmware. Try flasher older Firmware. That's all mine was
Try firmware 8.1.4, Luk told that that is oldest FW that is supported.
Or flash 8.3.15 latest one.

I have already did it, how much time do you think i have to wait between each update ?
And i have a last question for you, which rom on Android 8.1 do you think is the best for my mi5s ?
Im lost of the pletory of roms available...
Well they say that Atomic has best battery life, LOS is getting fix for restarts and battery drain with todays build.
Also, from recent posts best DEV FW is 8.3.1 or STABLE FW 9.5.1.0 if you are going to LOS15.1.
I am still on Viper OS, and I am waiting a little bit more on 8.1 roms to iron out small issues and quirks
I'm back unfortunately... My problem is back... When I boot my phone I've no problem I can read all videos but after 1or2 hours on, my problem come back ! I don't do one thing specially and I don't really know what to do now..
I tried to install the last CN firmware 8.3.8, tell me if I did something wrong, ty for your time.
NO DATA LOSS - NO NEED TO CHANGE ROM - NO NEED FOR ALTERING PROP FILE
You need to have a custom recovery (TWRP etc.)
1. Download the latest firmware (or anyone you like) from the link. https://basketbuild.com/devs/yshalsa...obal/capricorn
2. Flash it using custom recovery. THATS IT!
This does not effect your current rom it only changes some files (as you can guess from the size of file)
I have this problem on my Poco F1. I did all I could jumping from one rom to another, clean flashing miui roms to start with but nothing worked. What only works is an outdated version of a custom rom based on LOS. Also tried all the solutions in this thread but nothing worked. If someone is facing the same issue, your help will be truly appreciated. I cannot update my phone because of this damn issue.

"Dazn" also causes Bootloops. Nobody here who is able to fix it? Please
Install another rom or go back to stock. CM's 12&13 have this problem because of the theme engine (most likely). Lineage 14 doesn't. There is a LOS 14 ROM for this phone but its still in dev status and it's far from stable. Other alternatives: install FB lite or and outdated version of Facebook and use alternative launchers.

Most beautiful/smooth ROM in 2020

Hi all, I currently installed the lineage os 17.1 because I love the android 10 gestures but the animations are very laggy.. so I'm here to search some help to find the most beautiful and fast ROM for this tablet. I'd like to have a good personalization and a good performance (maybe a ROM kernel combo can help). So I don't care what version of Android is. Thanks in advance and sorry if my English is not good!
I reccomend Sailfish OS 2.1.1.26 (copy paste the link into your url and delete the last bit so it takes you to the build directory)
install alien dalvik and patch the headphone jack and it's perfect. that's just ime though, it's a bit annoying getting it set up.
Other than that, I reccomend LOS 14.1 as when I used to own one that was very excellent and fluid.
If you are interested in the Sailfish OS route PM me.

LineageOS (18.1) colors becoming corrupted too often to be usable. Any permanent fix besides ditching LineageOS?

So this is a problem it seems everyone encounters. If there is a fix posted here I've missed it. The colors become corrupted so often it's unusable IMO. I usually have to reboot. So I'm rebooting all the time. I really need to find a way to fix this or I have to go back to stock.
Maybe this is why Lineage 17 is stickied. I need to read that now. Thank you.
Edit: It is fixed in builds past 20210627
I have just flashed the latest build "lineage-18.1-20210829-nightly-channel-signed" and am still getting the same problem. Any ideas on how to fix please?
Well the problem continues and seems to have gotten worse.
After some months, I've updated to lineage-18.1-20210912. The problem is still there and seems worse, happening more often randomly. Only solution is as before switch from natural to saturated (vice versa) untill your frustrated.
As this is my mums phone, can't ask her to keep doing that. May have to return to stock which I dont really want.
Tbh, I'd be frustrated too.
I'm surprised theres no LOS 18.1 thread in rom section.
I'm also curious about the other roms based on 17.1/18.1, are they having the same problem?
It appears to be lineage at fault as whilst experimenting I have successfully flashed BlissRoms, ArrowOS and my favourite Resurrection Remix and all are fine. I have stuck with Resurrection Remix with no problems to date. I have not flashed it with GAPPS but can run a few things like outlook, dropbox and other by downloading apks from APKMirror.

Try this:
System - Buttons
( long-press all buttons, to see menu)
Back long press action-Kill foreground app
Home long press action-Kill foreground app
Recent long press action-Kill foreground app.
I did this 3 hrs ago, still working.
Good luck.
Update: Last night I reinstalled Majisk and Root Checker,and suddenly this morning, my screen was flickering, with psychedelic colors again
I instantly removed both, and da da, the colors were beautiful again???
Just saying.... we'll see what happens.
I no longer have Root, but the colors are beautiful.
Used to have this problem but haven't seen it in weeks. I'm guessing if you poke around in the settings you can find some fix

how about the performance in games with resurrection or do you recommend another rom?
Same thing here. I flashed 3 phones g7 Play that I did choose because they are in the list of supported phones in the Lineage OS list. All three have the same issue. Apparently, switching battery save mode on and off an then locking/unlocking the screen very reliably triggers the problem. But it will appear also spontaneously after a short while.
Tried a lot of different settings.all eventually failed.
I found a zip named LiveDisplay,that seems to help. Flashed mine through FKM, Franco Kernel Manager.
Exact name is "g7_power_livedisplay_fix.zip".

Please give me a download link. Search in the browser unfortunately did not return results. Found only for Moto G5S
I used Franco Kernel Manager to download the zip. If you are rooted, just install Franco Kernel Manager and look for "g7_power_livedisplay_fix.zip.
I recently installed Pixel Experience, but I am considering going back to Lineages now that 19 is available for Moto G7 Power.
Good luck.
I think Lineage OS 19 has corrected the Display issue, perhaps you should also just consider updating . Just a thought.
