[SOLVED] Ungoogled Lineageos - Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers

[SOLVED] Ungoogled Lineageos - Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers

Hi,
Does someone know or can recommand an ungoogled Os (MicroG, floss app replacing base app, the less google fingerprints as possible) on a lineageos 18 base or very similar exist ?

Hello, you I would recommand you the best alternative (support-wise) : /e/ OS https://e.foundation/
It a very cleverly thought project and advanced, you can buy phones already with the os loaded (for you grandma) and it comes with micro g already in. There is even an account linked to the phone to save contacts and parameters.
It is ungoogled as much it can (clock server, dns server etc).
I would recommand installing it on a Samsung S9 or Fairphone as other phones are not having a support as quick as those (Android Q update and easy installer etc) .

Hi @Gabriel-Roger and thanks for your reply. I already check this option. But unfortunetly /e/ is not avalaible for my device. Moreover it has micro G currently i don't need anything about google or google play service. My whole apps came from Fdroid and don't need it. Finally i choose to use LineageOs on my phone with custom ungoogled settings find here and there.
For pple who are interested to tweak LineageOs i use :

Hello, thank you very much for this link, I was looking for such a tutorial for a long time !
I tried to modify the file /system/etc/gps_debug.conf in order to remove A-GPS google server but I cannot modify this file even though I have magisk installed and a root file explorer that says it has root access.
Have you done such a thing ? How

yes depends of the file manager, one guy on xda recommand me mixplorer, you can find it here on xda. it works pretty well with this file manager.
Did you do the webview change with bromite ? i failed on this busybox not seems to work on lineage 18

Hello, tried with other file explorers but I got the same behavior, those system foldes must still be read only for me. I tried mixplorer but it doesnt work on my phone.
Regarding the webview, I only deactivated the app as I do not use it and it doesnot represents any risk by doing this.
Regarding the Captive portal, i have error that let me think that those commands are not working for LOS18.1.
It's like with the gps.conf, it does not exist. There is a gps_debug.conf file but it is not used.

You right i did the change on the gps debug file i didn't find the gps.conf....
Mixplorer works on mine maybe different rom we use ? on my way its LOs 18.1 by Andy.
For the captive portal i used the second part of the first link i gave you on XDA, works properly for me :
dhacke said:
For Android 8/9:
1. Open a terminal on your phone (via terminal apps).
2. Type the following command:
- su
- su
- pm disable com.android.captiveportallogin
- settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0
- settings put global captive_portal_server localhost
- settings put global captive_portal_mode 0
3. Then reboot your phone (via hardware buttons, system or terminal app).

Hi, Thanks for the other method regarding captive portal. I did it but I have no way to verify if it worked :/
Regarding the gps debug.conf, I still cannot modify it, I have tried updating magisk to version 22 but I still can't !

[DEV][KERNEL[MOD] Lenovo A6020 L36 / A46 (Vibe K5 / Vibe K5 Plus)

Hello people. My device is not listed in DEVDB options, so I must have to create this thread instead a DEVDB project. If it is wrong, please advice me.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm creating this thread to give us more space to create a ROM for our device, like a step-by-step to things we have to do or not. I'll edit this thread with more details when I have more time, but for now, thats what we have done, and I think we need to do:
Root (Thanks to Chainfire)
Custom recovery (thanks to Shreps)
Choose a kitchen to manage the ROM
Discover kernel options
Choose apps to add/remove
A custom app to manage various phone settings, like kernel options, battery settings, and others
Edit build.prop to get right device management
Edit boot.img to have unsecure boot
Help me to add or remove things to the list above, to have a structured plan to build the whole ROM (boot, recovey, system), because last time I manage a ROM was a long time ago, I think about 2010 (was on Xperia X2), and was only for me (my "project" wasn't public). From that time for actual days, I don't manage/create nothing "solid" and structured anymore... And I'm sure all things have changed/updated/died/etc...
To help start familiar with new kitchens (the last was DSIXDA Kitchen), I have choose SuperR's Kitchen. I try to use it inside Cygwin, but it gives me an error while opening, I'm investigating this. So, I setup a virtual machine with Ubuntu in my house, and I have remote access to it from my work. In this VM, I setup the kitchen and (after a time to setup the right Java) it is running fine.
So, let's go, people. I'll edit this post as news are coming.
[UPDATE]What I have found:
If "Google Photos" is removed, then Gallery don't crop wallpapers, or adds a image to a contact;
Titanium Backup can't uninstall/integrate some apps and updates. It says "apk not found". I'm trying to use Link2SD;
SuperSU "lose" the configuration, forcing me to remove the apps I added, then run the app again. I'm looking for this
If you remove "Theme Center", you can't change wallpaper and Lenovo Home gives an error!
If you remove "Google App", "Now Launcher" gives errors about force close.
If you remove LenovoID, Settings force close when try to enter "accounts".
If we integrate "Google Play Services" and hard reset the phone, it force close at second stage of first registration.

I randomly found this thread and noted that you are facing this issue with TB being unable to uninstall some apps. I had the same issue with my device. If you are rooted, navigate to /Cust/Channel/Preinstalled/apps folder (sometimes the "channel" folder may not exist) from your file explorer, you will find the apks for the apps that TB fails to find apk for. Remove the APKs that you don't need and/or move them wherever you feel is right for them, all set

Yes, that seems to be the case for LP and MM factory images that have this folder, it is a TB limitation even on my device, unless I am running CM or AOSP based ROMs hope the workaround helps

[closed] lucky patcher problem, running unoffical lineageos 15.1 android 8.1

[EDIT] it is fixed! I got it working, it was BusyBox etc
Hi. I have a problem that is with lucky patcher, and I don't know how to fix it or if any alternative apps is available for it. My device is originally a Samsung Galaxy S5 2016 (sm-a510f) with swedish carrier known as Comviq(tele2) and has unlocked bootloader and is rooted through magisk. Don't know if following info helps but had a problem when changing from superSU to magisk that involved me flashing stock rom.
My problem with lucky patcher started now after I flashed my rom and THE problem is that I mostly use lucky patcher for in app purchases, and when I used stock rom...it worked flawless(just took it's time but worked 7-10 times. Those 3 times is apps that lucky patcher cannot hack ) but now, I have an app, let's say subway surfers because it should work with lucky patcher... When I had the stock rom... It showed me the process and then creating odex file and then optional patches or something like that... Didn't pay much attention but now... With lineageOS, it doesn't even go that far and then done, patch 1 and 2 are green, and that normally should work ( should work with only number 1 or number 2 green ) and I open the app. When I wanted to buy something before, the prices could look something like 0.33, 0.35, 0.82 etc but now, it shows me the full real price, and when I go to hack a purchase...it doesn't prompt me the usual lucky patcher pop up... It gives me the Google play store. Is there any fix to this like a flashable zip or is lucky patcher not possible because gapps was used for all Google apps. Down below you have some info and links to where i grabbed my lineageOS, my gapps type (stock,full, super etc) and such. I would like if anyone could try to help me with this problem and I haven't tried anything, the only thing I tried was to reinstall it, and that didn't do anything. If there is anything with me running lineageOS, or having Android 8.1, then is there any settings or module that could make it work? If not...is there any alternative apps that works like lucky patcher... (Freedom,gamecih etc don't work either
specs/info that might help you:
Bootloader: unlocked
OS: lineageOS
Is your lineageOS official: no, it's unofficial
Android version: 8.1
Recovery: TWRP
Any access to Odin: yes but computer is my mom's and I'm not really allowed to use it so i would say no. Access is 1-10 but works every
Access to adb: unknown, I have adb on my mom's computer but I have no idea how to use it...
Where I grabbed my lineageOS version: https://goo.gl/cKH1dP
Don't worry, the link is shortened and will redirect you to a XDA thread with lineageOS for Samsung Galaxy A5 2016
Faster download for lineageOS if you need to look into the files (Google drive): https://goo.gl/aHxG95
My gapps os: 8.1
My gapps type: super
If you need any more information, please let me know. I know quite much technical language, so I would say I'm over average. Thanks in advance

Hello and good day? Everything was working a couple of weeks ago, but no longer and

Hello and good day! I'm on the upgrade path with HTC M10 running Android 8.0 to Lineageos 15.1 and GAPPS 8.1.0. Everything installed and phone now running HTC 10 set, but Google Play Services 'Checking for Updates' runs a very long time, fails, requires a restart, and never completes. I've downloaded GAPP and reinstalled several times, cleared application cache, and Wi-Fi connection is > 300mbs. Did I miss something? Is there another method to install GAPPS 8.1.0 perhaps via ADB to complete Android 8.1 upgrade?

I don't have this device myself but, see if you're provided an option to update the Google Play Services via the following link to it on the Google Play Store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms
If it doesn't work out for you, I can only think of trying to obtain some member guidance within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device.

Got it and help appreciation
Got it and assistance appreciated! Google Play store was loaded as part of GAPP install and the link attempted (and failed) to update the version the on my device. The GAPP apps don't appear to be setup correctly and Google setup software software is failing to interface with with wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi and carrier). However, Google browser, telephone, and text work. I've installed 8.1-Linage-15.1 and 8.1.0-Gapps-arm64 -- are these compatible software pairs? Should I try another version of GAPP and if so, which one? Thanks.

I can't really state which one will work exactly since I don't have any HTC devices but, if it were me experiencing issues that are GApps Specific...
Your correct regarding your use of the GApps 8.1 (ARM64) with LineageOS 15.1.
As to the specific GApps Package, I personally prefer to use the "Pico" myself. Pico is pretty much the Google Play Store and what makes it work (Minimal).
You could try the "GApps 8.1 (ARM64) Pico" just to see if that resolves your issue and, if you wanted, go with a larger package.
It could also be one of those little/minor things that went a bit wrong with the GApps you had flashed.
It doesn't happen often with me but, it has happened to me and even on an occasion or two where I had to redo a clean installation for the LineageOS and GApps a few times.
It could have been that specific date for the GApps release where you can just go with another GApps release date.
Or maybe you can also try MindTheGApps as many members do like them over OpenGApps. This is a personal preference thing too.
I always try to rule out the little things before looking at any of the bigger things.
I hope this was helpful for you and the best guidance I can really provide you without having the actual device myself.
Good Luck!

Lineage downloader can't connect

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).

Install: navigate to downloads folder select the zip file and hipe it works.
If not: ask in the thread you linked.

Android 12 personal build

If somebody wanna to try my personal build of phh treble A12 with 01/05/22 security patch let me know and we figure out how to share. Keep in mind I don’t use Telegram .
Some info:
it's made with mind for regular use of device as phone not fancy or gaming machine.
Sms,calls,voip calls,navigation priority for me.Very slim rom!
I’m not put here some warning – you already understand all risk when using custom roms! Right? If not what are you doing here!
In short - phh aosp gsi and all credits to him and team.
Tested and adjusted for Nord10 5G BE86AA ATT provider, vendors 11.02 and 11.03, not rooted unlocked bootloaders.
Runs already w/o trouble over 2 mnts on 2 phones.
English only (no localization), diff keyboard layouts works,su, rw system, MicroG with sig spoofing, bromite webview,patched Captive portal (read here),
Cloudflare dns,dev option enabled, soft display option.
Removed useless overlays for phone, fixed voip call sound,ims, prefered network 5G enable, media sound over BT works.
Voip calls tested on Signal,Wire and WhatsUp with domestic and oversea calls.
My bank app working fine,gMaps works (but I’m using Magic Earth),fingerprint,otg-usb,Bluetooth in 2 cars,bluetooth to my pc.
I left pph treble app in case.
Many small changes, some hard coded some in build.props
I don’t use any google stuff or g Pay ,Amazon pay or any other pays so don’t know would it work or not. If you need it get something like pe and enjoy google+aftermarket s**t.
Only Foss apps
You need Calendar,Calculator,Messenger if you don’t like Signal (preinstalled) and good Music app.
I’m personally using Signal,Wire and Element, my wife Signal,Whatsup,security camera apps w/o trouble. Some apks not upstream versions.
I'm old school Linux guy - don't fix if it works is my philosophy. But on rw system you easily can rm and install what ever you like or update from Fdroid.

Interested

Its only for OnePlus Nord N10 5G (BE2026/BE2029 - codename - billie)
download SYSTEM IMG and copy img to folder GSI-FLASHER and rename it to
system.img, then fastboot and run flash-device.bat (need unlocked bootloader of course)

I'm sorry I am really confused about the right method coming from a samsung device where the procedure was quite different. Dont I need vbmeta.img or something? Inside the file the installation method is as below:
unlock bootloader,no root needed.
Tested on android 11.02/11.03 vendor, not sure about 10
RW version.
from terminal:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot flash system nord-S-RW.img
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
Enjoy!
Some times take upto 5 min to boot,
if not try restart again
Which method do I use?

If you have BE2026/BE2029 then all is inside my zip....
Only copy system.img into GSI-FLASHER and start flash-device.bat
(with unlocked bootloader and phone booted in fastboot - volume down + up + power)
thats all
