Official LineageOS 21 for FP5

tyslan · May 20, 2024, 9:17am

Seems like things are moving on official lineage.
Today I noticed FP5 is listed in the download section of LineageOS (without builds however).

there is a download

Yep, it worked for me. But i already had, LineageOS running.

Here is a short (not official) Guide: https://xdaforums.com/t/lineageos-for-fp5.4634848/page-9#post-89520962

I apologize for hyjacking this thread just a quick question for those with a fair phone 5 with LOS21 does call recording work just like the FP4 I am running los20 and wish to get my wife a FP5 but only if it records calls with LOS21.

I understand you want an answer and kindly ask you to stop putting the question in any random (german) topic.

I moved your post here and as reference

Is any body daily driving this yet? If so hows the experience been. Wanna jump as stock is starting to get on my nerves with the bugs/inconsistent battery life

llluuuzzziii · June 19, 2024, 2:18pm

Yes, my FP5 is now in daily use. But my use case is definitely not “normal”. For me, the phone is a machine and not a “friend”. I use LOS21 without GApps and only a few apps that do things in the background. Banking apps and car sharing apps and things like that don’t work.
If the original Android is not used, some DRM things have disappeared (codecs etc.).
Battery lasts for 6h SOT. In standby about 0.5%/h. Including IRC and XMPP.
5G/WLAN calls/Wifi6 etc. work perfectly. I don’t use things that supposedly improve human life (tap-to-wake and things like that). If you know what F-Droid is without googling, this (FP5 with LOS) could be something good

With my experience with the new Android 14 update, definitely jumping in the next few days

llluuuzzziii · July 21, 2024, 6:15pm

Currently, Android 13 must be installed on the FP5.

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/FP5/install/

“…
Warning: Before following these instructions please ensure that the device is currently using Android 13 firmware.
If the vendor provided multiple updates for that version, e.g. security updates, make sure you are on the latest!
If your current installation is newer or older than Android 13, please upgrade or downgrade to the required version before proceeding (guides can be found on the internet!).
…”

hairyfred · July 21, 2024, 6:41pm

Thats fine

Gotta format anyway so ain’t a big deal fully downgrading first (inb4 you can’t)

hairyfred · August 14, 2024, 9:54am

Finally moved to Lineage, getting play integrity for bank apps with apatch was relatively easy to fix.

Yeah wish I did this sooner, none of the weird bugs with stock, battery is a lot better, as long as your familiar with flashing on android I’d recommend giving it a shot.

KlavsKlavsen · August 14, 2024, 10:26am

How did you end up getting lineageos installed on fp5? specificly the android13 firmware requirement on Install LineageOS on FP5 | LineageOS Wiki - when I have installed calyxos on it… how do I do that…

hairyfred · August 14, 2024, 11:02am

If you need to downgrade to android 13 OR flash stock, you can do this with the information on here using the fast boot method (this will wipe everything but will get you back to functional stock)

xmikex01 · August 24, 2024, 5:02pm

Hi Fred just a quick question with lineage for the fp5 as I have the fp4 with lineage i am able to have call recording with both parties in the call. My question is does your fp5 with lineage offer the same functionality.

llluuuzzziii · August 24, 2024, 5:17pm

If the country you are logged in to is not allowed in this list, call recording will only work indirectly:

If recording is allowed, it also works with LOS21 on the FP5

If recording is not allowed, it will only work with a module for Magisk.

hairyfred · August 25, 2024, 12:28pm

Personally I use GitHub - chenxiaolong/BCR: A Basic Call Recorder for rooted Android devices as its not dependent on what phone app you use but it does require magisk/kernelsu/apatch to use.

Not sure about the stock lineage dialer having built-in functionality as I use googles

xmikex01 · September 11, 2024, 2:28am

Works well with stock lineage thanks for the heads up.

hairyfred · September 12, 2024, 8:54pm

Can anyone confirm if theres any anti burn in? Starting to notice my status bar being burned into the screen

Nabalazs · September 13, 2024, 7:35pm

Coming up on 11 months of using FPOS, my status bar and pill at the bottom is clearly burnt in.
I kinda wanna blame the oled pixels not turning off issue, but come to think of it, I’ve never noticed UI elements subtly shifting around to prevent burn in.

Someone should make a comprehensive Lineage install tutorial for dummies like me, and I’d switch so fast.
