Oooh. Ohhh. Lineage 15.1 (testing)

[AnotherElk]

Yes, I want to go home and rethink my life, but anyway … I didn’t find it online, so I started to do it myself and learned a lot.
So have fun exploring, filling in some blanks and correcting any mistakes and inconsistencies …

Hi,
I installed lineages OS 15.1 by wiping the system, then I enabled the encryption. Now from TWRP 3.2.2-0 I cannot access the data even by typing the encryption password. How can I update the OS?

[chrmhoffmann]

You don’t need TWRP to decrypt data (*) in order to update the OS. Just press cancel and then adb sideload.

(*) This is a known issue and not a FP2-specific bug.

[chrmhoffmann]

The changes for FP2 are now merged into lineage-15.1 branches. I hope we’re good to go soon.

@chrmhoffmann

and then adb sideload

… or install from SD card (Install - Select Storage).

The issue is that TWRP can’t decrypt data yet when encrypted with LineageOS 15.1.
That it doesn’t need to decrypt data for OS installs rather saves the day .

Wow, that looks like it was a lot of work! And now I get this post.

We’re ready to go: https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/LineageOS/hudson/+/221293/

Please don’t forget when upgrading first time to official 15.1 that you also have to flash new gapps for 15.1 otherwise: bootlooping.

For all the testers, you have to reinstall (or somehow find a zip that migrates the keys - there are some docs somewhere how to do it).

Question: Do I have to do anything special when upgrading from 14.1 Nightly to 15.1 Nightly? Do I have to wipe/format my data partition? (I hope not…)

@StephanK

Do I have to do anything special when upgrading from 14.1 Nightly to 15.1 Nightly? Do I have to wipe/format my data partition? (I hope not…)

As is common in IT … the answer to that which saves you from most of any potential trouble is the answer you least want to hear .

[chrmhoffmann]

Hi,
No, you should not need to wipe. You have to flash directly after 15.1 the new 15.1 gapps without rebooting in between.

@Bergziege

In earlier android versions it was “Settings - Apps…” and then click on the three spots in the top right corner, but they are not there.

These settings are now in …

Settings

• Apps & notifications (Permissions, default apps)
  • Advanced
    • Default apps

Does installing 15.1 now work with a 14.1-encrypted data partition?
It’s not mentioned under Known issues any more.

Migration zip for 14.1 testing to 14.1 official should still work hopefully.

@chrmhoffmann

fixes video recording

Confirmed.

A minor issue I came across:

Settings - System - System profiles - cogwheel right beside Default / Silent / Vehicle (doesn’t matter) - Preferred network type (name of SIM card in slot 1)

… crashes (“LineageOS Settings has stopped”, or “keeps stopping” if you do it again).

[StephanK]

Thank you very much! (Albeit I don’t use GSuite… Which makes migration even easier.)

Is there anything a thankful beneficiary could do to keep you happily doing what you’re doing?

[oli.sax]

@chrmhoffmann

We’re ready to go

Awesome ! Thank you a lot Chris
We just need to wait for tomorrow for an official 15.1 build, right now there are only 14.1 ones

Apparently, @chrmhoffmann doesn’t have the 12 megapixel camera yet ! An idea could be to collectively buy one for him as a gift, what do you think ??

[LeonL]

Woaw! That was a super fast development! Congratulations and many thanks!!
Two questions:

• I guess that means that there will be also a lineage+microg-Version then?
• How does the upgrade work if my phone is currently encrypted (TWRP 3.2.2.-0)? Could you tell me the steps I need to take?

Many thanks again! The camera module sounds like an idea!

[chrmhoffmann]

It has not been approved yet, so we most likely miss this week’s build.

I have the same question.
