Gapps and OTA updates

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, quick question. My S20FE (4G Snap) stopped working as regards Google services. So I had to factory reset it, since dirty flash (including a gapps package) didn't work.

Do you think that flashing the ROM updates via ADB and flashing together with it the new gapps version is more stable?

Thanks in advance

So I did a dual mode years back. I like how I can OC using Tesla app in switch mode. Can the same be done in Android mode? I already partitioned my sd card to allocate more space in the Android side. Now I found out that the switch can do the same fml!

It’s mainly for emulation 2DS, 3DS and PSP portable etc.

Feature How to enable "Allow window-level blurs" without root?

2 Upvotes

I have a Pixel 4 running LineageOS 24, what I waited with this update is the Blur UI, but unfortunately it is somewhat turned off.

There is an option in Developer Options to toggle this on, but whenever I leave the Settings App, it will automatically revert back to off. There is no option on Accessibility to Reduce Blur, meaning (if im correct) this UI is intended to be turned off to reduce the gpu load.

The option I found and tried is by rooting my device and installing Enable-blurs module and its great knowing it can actually work. Also, adb method to enable this Blur UI is not working.

But, my problems are, apps keep crashing. I noticed after root, apps like Google Camera and Google Photos App keeps crashing, closing the only fixed i found with this issue is by unrooting my device, and dont like rooting.

Right now, my device is unrooted.

Fun My Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2019

6 Upvotes

I am a teacher and found a Tab A (kids edition) at home. During the vacation I decided to install Lineage OS on it.

I have no regret at all. It became my everyday tablet for school. I use it with the Joplin app to sync files from my laptop. I feel I will purchase a Tab S7 to use next for the new term or another tab that using the S-pen. Can anyone give me any recommendations?

Help [LOS 23.2] Unable to add any account after clearing Google Play Cache&Data

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

yesterday, I cleared Cache and Data for Google Play Store and Google Play Services, as well as removed my Google-account after what appeared to me as a storage-issue.
The initial problem aside - since then I am unable to add any account.

When trying to do so ...
* I navigate to Settings -> Passwords, passkeys and accounts -> + Add account
* I select the account-type I want to add (e.g. Google, Dropbox, whatever ...)
* The screen changes to "Checking info ..." and promts to verify that it's me (biometrics/pattern)
* Reverts back to the "Add account"-screen after verifying, with no further action taken

This behaviour is identical, when trying to sign in via an app (e.g. Profile -> Sign in in the Google Maps app).

Has anyone ever ran into similar problems or can direct me towards a solution without a complete reinstall?

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Aequi

Prevent updates from overwriting ABL

1 Upvotes

I have set up LineageOS and Rocknix in dual boot on an Ayn Odin 2 Portal and just now a minor update (from the updater app, staying on 24.0) overwrote ABL with the LineageOS one, preventing me from accessing Rocknix again.

Is there a way to prevent LineageOS updates from overwriting the ABL bootloader? I'd rather not have to constantly mess with fastboot after each and every one.

Should I update lineageos 23.3 to 24? - Samsung 20s (4g)

4 Upvotes

Hey there friends! :)

So after the bug of Google services, I thought about update lineageos, But I just wonder if its even worth it?
And if so, Do I need to factory reset to burn android 13 and then burn lineageos 24? Or when I want the GAPSS?

Tell me if I mistake: As I read on the guide, Its said if I only want to update, I need to do it with adb, install before GAPPS and then the lineageos update

Thanks for the help :)

Help Pixel 6 and LineageOS 24

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I recently installed LineageOS 24 on my Pixel 6, and I have realized that neither RCS nor Call Screening is working. Are these features unsupported by LineageOS 24?

I am asking because I can see the Call Screening options (Maximum, Medium, and Basic Protection), but the Screen button does not do anything when I receive a call. I have also read that Call Screening works with NikGapps but not with MindTheGapps. Could this be a bug?

Regarding RCS, the Messages app says, "RCS chat status: Not supported." I am sure RCS is not a Pixel-exclusive feature. Are certain libraries missing?

Thanks!

Question Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra (H4233) has Android 8 and can't be updated OTA to Android 9

1 Upvotes

SOLVED. Thanks to everybody and especially to u/ProximusXX.

My H4233 has only Android 8.0.0 and the software update in the phone settings says it's the latest available (even after refreshing). The LineageOS installation guide says that the device needs Android 9. Installed the Sony Xperia Companion software in hope it offers an update possibility but it only "repairs" the device. Still Android 8.0.0. No OTA update possible.

Should I do the LineageOS installation guide despite of Android 8? Is there an installation guide for an older LineageOS which is compatible with Android 8 (and later easily updatable to the newest LineageOS)?

Thanks in regards.

Someone has managed to make Google Pay work its unlocked device?

6 Upvotes

I have a Pixel 4a, which I just updated to version 24 (android 17).

I've been using it without payments for the last 2+ years like this, but I was wondering if there is someone who runs an unlocked device with payments working.

Don't feel like doing some unstable irreversible solution that is going to compromise my daily device, but if there is a solution that is not too difficult to install and stable, I could think about doing it.

Thanks.

So it all started with google notifications about future Android Auto non functioning etc. Took me some time to register a non Chinese number to ..India servers for Xiaomi to make sure i could use my Xiaomi account to unlock the phone. Drivers only worked on x86 Windows PC (since i had a laptop Windows ARM) but after ..3hrs all good. The system is responding rapidly, faster than Xiaomi's own MIUI.

Google services (YouTube, Play Store, Drive) and Google login are not working, while other apps and internet speed are fine

38 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing a very strange issue with Google services on my device. I'm hoping someone can help me figure this out.

The problem:

· Google login in games: I got logged out of my game account yesterday. Now, when I try to log in via Google, the profile selection window appears, but after selecting my profile, it just hangs and doesn't log me in. · YouTube: The app and browser won't load the main page or videos. However, the search bar works and suggests autocomplete options when I type. · Other Google apps: Google Play Store and Google Drive are not working at all. Interestingly, Google Maps works fine. · Other apps: All non-Google apps work perfectly.

What I have already checked/tried:

· Internet connection: My internet is working fine. I ran a Speedtest on mobile data (LTE, MTS provider) and got ~4.8 Mbps down and up. This is my normal speed. · Time and Date: The time and date on my device are set correctly and automatically. · DNS: I have already tried changing my DNS settings. · VPN/Proxies: I don't have any VPNs or proxy apps enabled. · Clearing cache: I have tried clearing the cache and data for Play Store and Google Play Services, but it didn't help.

It feels like the device is specifically blocking or failing to establish a secure connection with Google's servers, while the general internet connection is totally fine. Has anyone encountered this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Legacy devices and newer OS questions

4 Upvotes

I read in this sub about OS 23 and 24 and was wondering, why my Nokia 6.1 can only upgrade to 22.2.

I searched on the website and assume that the info found here under legacy etc. about 4.4 kernel applies to my case: https://lineageos.org/Changelog-32/

Can someone explain to a non-tech user what this means for me. Will my phone have its last update wirh 22.2 Android 15 due to security reasons even if it could have 24 on the phone due to its structure?

Howdy, has anyone installed Lineage on the OnePlus 15? I have the device and am considering moving from stock to LineageOS, but it's my daily driver phone. I don't want to wipe and install the OS to find out critical components aren't functional, and there doesn't seem to be quite the same mod community for the OP15 as there was with previous devices.

Help Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N900W8 (hltetmo)

Hello fellas,
I had recently installed Lineage OS 18.1 in this pretty old device of mine, and most of the things work well.
The only issue I have encountered is that the sim card doesn't work. I tried to use my personal sim card and it detects normally, but couldn't initiate a call or receive a call as it kept saying emergency calls only.

I know this device and the OS is ancient now, but it's something I've been learning from and I know all the support for this particular model is down. However, any help is highly appreciated.
