TouchWiz on LineageOS 14.1.

Is it possible to install? When I install, it crashes after I run it. Is LineageOS 14.1 incompatible? S8 TouchWiz requires Android 7.0 and above and I run 7.1.2 on my phone.

Usb otg (lg v20 us996)

Running recent build of 14.1 on a LG V20 US996 model.
Doesn't seem to recognize a USB OTG drive at all. Clearly this isn't a hardware issue as TWRP recognizes it fine, but it's a royal PITA to have to keep rebooting to recovery whenever I want to copy files from/to a USB drive.
Since USB OTG seems to work on other devices running LOS 14.1, is this just a matter of the maintainer of the build for my phone not including support for it for some reason?

Whatsapp: Problem to download videos/pictures from others

I installed on my Nexus 5 the latest patch (14.1) and i have a issue with Whatsapp the last days. I can't download any pictures or videos by whatsapp. I tried to refresh my device, wipe all data but that doesn't fix it. I tried to use the official Whatsapp and Whatsapp+ all time the same problem. Anyone know a solution?

Loading and Rooting15.1-20181023 (latest) issues with Pixel XL

I have only been using lineageOS for a couple weeks and wanted to get advice before I call it bugs:
1) i could not flash 20181023 after a wipe, nor one or two nightly before that. i had to go back to 20181002 and then apply 20181023 on top of it without wiping.
2) i could not root using addonsu-15.1-arm64-signed.zip on 20181023. i had used it on 20181002 somewhat successfully, however, something had happened more than once which un-rooted it.
observation: TWRP 3.2.3.1 seems to require a passcode now or else /sdcard/ looks jumbled (likely encrypted). i don't recall this happening until this load.
related question: any good advice about general handling of A/B partition style phone? before i used other custom ROMs with samsung s6 which didn't have that and seems to make everything harder.

Root oneplus 3 doesn't work

Hi
I currently trying to root my oneplus3 with LineageOs 16 (last version).
I tried with su from extra section addonsu-16.0-arm64-signed.zip and with SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip.
Every time, flash is OK but when I try with root checker, root doesn-t work.
On setting, I set root for ADB and apps.
Any ideas how to root a oneplus3 with lineage 16 ?
Thank for the help :good:

At this point in time, SuperSU isn't working well on LineageOS 16.0 in general.
The AddonSU has been having issues with many members as well and I do know that there's been some discussion/work being done with it by the Lineage Team as well.
Apparently the Magisk has been working well for many individuals and I plan to try it out myself soon.
Sorry I can't be much more helpful than this but, I just wanted to bring the above information to your attention too.
Good Luck!

TBH, your best bet is to ask for some member guidance within one of the following Magisk Specific threads since I only have a working knowledge of Magisk and am still trying to familiarize myself with using it...

... Keep in mind that errors provided/reflected on the TWRP Terminal screen (you provided) is extremely limited.
In general, the TWRP Logs actually has more detailed information for better support. So any time you receive an error on the TWRP Terminal, go right to where the area is to save the Logs for you to submit for support.
The following image is a quick little Helper Guide to where to go in TWRP for saving the TWRP Logs.
I wish you the best of luck!

Addeonsu has to work. The decision arm/arm64 depends on ROM not hardware. In older 64 bit hardware lineageOS has 32 bit.
With all that root flashing your boot partition is maybe messed up. Try clean flash. That's a good basis for a bug report.
PS.: read your own screenshot!

Hello, Hydro8. i have the same problem with Lineage 16 and have been checking different forums and Google but haven't seen anything yet which might help us. i guess we'll just have to keep checking - perhaps this might be the best thread/forum "The AddonSU has been having issues with many members as well and I do know that there's been some discussion/work being done with it by the Lineage Team as well. " although i haven't found the Lineage web forums yet. i suspect there are none - only reddit and the chat space.
Have a great morning!

Do you really have the same "boot image patched by unsupported programs"?

Dear kurtn. i was happy to receive a reply so quickly! However i'm at a loss as to how to answer your question "Do you really have the same "boot image patched by unsupported programs"? " Perhaps you could expand a little.
In the meantime, have a radiant morning!
