Lineage OS 15 Android Oreo 8.0?? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

When will we get Lineage OS 15, since the nexus 4 already got it, which has very similar specs, but not the same.

Can you get lineage is 14 for android nougat with gapps?

Not sure exactly what you're asking. But Lineage 14.1 is available for the N7 and you flash gapps separately.

Sorry, I was being lazy, I meant nougat. I see you can get it as a nightly build, however I'm reading Netflix doesn't work, so that's a no go for installing it for me

I believe there are older versions of Netflix that will work with some builds of Lineage. I had it working at one time, but after updating to a recent nightly, it is broken.

About Netflix, you can use Magisk which can hide itself and you will be able to install Netflix (and al other protected apps)
About Oreo, I hope we get it soon, I have Oreo on my Nexus 5X and it's great

Been a while since I've flashed anything, last time was with HD2. So I need to unlock bootloader on my N7 and then install Magisk, then install lineage OS? So then Netflix app will still work with latest version from the play store?

First LOS, then Magisk.
Personally, I don't use Netflix, it is not fully available in my country. AFAIK, it was not possible to install it from the Play Store when device was rooted, or BL was unlocked (not sure which one), but with Magisk I can install it, I can also open it, but as I said, I don't pay it, so I can't do nothing more, and AFAIK t should work.

It's WIP, just wait.

Is there a guide?

Is there a good updated guide to root the robin?

I recently did, its still the same as it was before. Nothing has changed.
Only difference is it more or less depends on which tool you want to use to root. I personally used Magisk v14.0
This video does a good job. As I said I would replace SuperSU with Magisk

Thank you! A question, Does Android pay and the cloud storage works after root?

I stopped using nextbit cloud storage after they announced the end of life for device. I am not sure they will keep the cloud storage running anyway.
Android Pay not available in my region but Magisk lets you hide it from detection and it does pass the SafetyNet so Android Pay should work.
Banking apps which detected root can't detect it with Magisk Hide. So I am able to use those apps despite having the root.

Android Pay works fine with Magisk. Both with rooted stock and custom ROMs. At least in my experience.

Interface crashing when power menu is called.

Good day, I have a little problem with my 5x, when I long click on the power button, the power menu doesn't appear. Instead, I go to the boot animation and it just restarts, without showing the Google's logo.
Note that I use LineageOS 14.1, ElementalX 4.14, Magisk v14.0 and substratum with Flux (white) theme. I uninstalled XPosed but there are no significant differences, it's just about the same.
Anyone could give me a feedback? Thank you!

Uninstall the theme and see if it still reboots randomly.

No, the device reboots still. But it is not random, actually it only happen when I press and hold the power button.
I will try to deactivate Magisk

Hmm. Reinstall the vendor image that matches the monthly security date that your rom is based on. If that doesn't help, you'll probably have to clean flash the rom.

Okay, so I did a new clean install, but the problem is still here. Is it possible that this occurs after installing a new application? I have installed a few and the problem showed after that

Yes. You can install your apps one at a time until you see a culprit.

Yeah. I have tried with Magisk v13.3 (and so I uninstalled v14) but the same problem occurs.
I will try with a new nightly of LineageOS asap and report here if ever I find a solution.

Netflix on 8.1 beta

Anyone have Netflix working on 8.1 beta? I had it before the beta and now it's telling me I have an incompatible device.

Of course. The only way now is to lock the bootloader or download from apk mirror. In the future, passing safetynet with a custom kernel or Magisk/autohide will work

Interesting. Didn't think the bootloader would affect it. Once we can get safetynet, I'll unlock again.

I'm running a custom kernel that passes safetynet on 8.0. The easiest way is to download Netflix from Apk mirror. That way you can stay unlocked

You can download the APK directly from Netflix website in the help section.

Thats funny. They won't let you do it from the play store, but they give you the workaround right from their website. Lol
I haven't had any issues with Netflix.

Is Pie stable now?

I'm on stock Oreo with Magisk, custom Kernel, Android Pay working, v4a working, custom recovery, CF+lumen, and a few others.
Can I accomplish that on Pie right now?
I was updating a bunch of magisk stuff and messed up the system today, so I need a clean install.
Working Bluetooth reliably is a must.
Thanks!

Have you followed any tutorials that would be helpful? I know magisk and v4a and kernels can be finnicky if you go in the wrong order.

Yeah you don't install it via a zip in recovery, it's a Magisk Module you install through Magisk.
Interesting. I guess that's a Pie thing. There's a zip created specifically for Magisk that has been troubleshot with Pixel in mind. Worked great on Oreo.
I'll try that, thanks!

The modules I use are working fine, and they've all been updated by their specific developers. However, YMMV depending on what modules you have questions about :good:

I don't really understand what's happening on my end then, I have the latest Canary Magisk version and I'm hiding Google Pay and Google Play Services, but I still get a message about the phone being rooted.
Problem here is that if I hide Google Pay in Magisk 19.0 it doesn't work- sticks at the Google logo. If I don't hide it, it doesn't work because of root/unlocked bootloader, so I'm a bit stuck in the middle.
Tried on rooted stock- same problem. Tried with elementalx kernel- just the same. Any ideas (pixel 2 btw)?

I feel your pain and that's exactly why i went straight back to pure stock at least until magisk is fully functional again WITHOUT any hiccups.

I've looked at the threads also. I'm not sure why it stopped working for some people and not for others. I was one of the lucky ones I guess. Have you tried clearing the data for Google pay and Google play services? Some people have said that fixed it for them with version 19.

This is the fix
Magisk stable build, all latest official builds of everything else, nothing special. and Magisk hide on google play store, google play services and google pay then - Renaming com.google.android.gms to com.google.android.gms.bak (found in Data/Data) in root browser and then rebooting is the answer .
