Oooh. Ohhh. Lineage 15.1 (testing)

Help Fairphone 2

Thanks. Selinux is indeed disabled (permissive mode).

What is wrong with the stock camera app?

Flash and shot are out of sync ā€¦ the flash gets fired, but the shot is taken when the flash is already off again.
I think it was the same in LineageOS 14.1, and the workaround was using Open Camera all along.

Hey, Chris, great work! Iā€™ve been following your commits, but didnā€™t expect a testbuild that soon. Iā€™ll maybe test that in a few days (pending work here for the moment).

BTW, for anyone #livingwogoogle interested, my microG flashable installer doesnā€™t work for Oreo yet. An update is in the making and I hope to have it working for the stable 15.1 release, though.

If you do not find someone near your location, I can offer my soldering skills. Its far to drive, but if you can arrage yourself some days without a Fairphone, you can mail it to me.

Now after charging, the LED stays off.
I was pretty sure it indicated the battery status until I plugged in the charger, but probably it indicated something else then. It makes more sense that it doesnā€™t work at all for the battery status.

Edit: Confirmed on second test install ā€¦ LED doesnā€™t work for the battery status.

Hi everybody,

I ran into a bootloop when I installed the build with xposed for Oreoā€¦So, I reverted back to the nightly 14.1 buildā€¦ I will wait for the next buid without gApps and then give it a tryā€¦

Thank you so much @chrmhoffmann ! Thatā€™s great news. And apparently, a big bunch of necessary functions are working well! As I use, and am currently very satisfied with LOS+microg Iā€™ll wait for the first nightly before changing to LOS15.1 !

The encryption-flag is sometimes within the partition header. Use the format data option in stead of the wipe data (with twrp) if the problem persists.

Will be SELinux Switch be compatible with it later on?

31

Yes, itā€™s mandatory to be switched on when getting official nightlies.

I just did some reading again in the article I referred to, and it is even easier.

If you want to have a certain Open GApps package ā€¦ just install it, it will uninstall all Google Apps it finds on the phone before it installs itself.
(I just did that with Open GApps pico, and it looks like it worked ā€¦ the ā€œGoogleā€ thing that was there on the home screen before is gone now, thereā€™s just what pico installed - some basic services and the Play Store).

If you want to have no Google Apps at all, theoretically a config file just containing ā€œIncludeā€ and nothing else should do that for you. Installing any Open GApps package with this config file should then uninstall all Google Apps before installing itself with this config file telling it to install ā€¦ nothing. I didnā€™t try this, though, so use at your own risk :wink: .

@chrmhoffmann I tried to encrypt the phone with the test build, but failed.

I disassembled both new camera modules, wiped everything, destroyed the LUKS header and reformatted userdata, freshly installed the test build, set up a PIN for the lock screen (it seems encryption uses that as the password) ā€¦ no encryption.

Once started, an encryption attempt reboots the phone completely back into LineageOS. Somewhere inbetween the reboot procedures it should display the Android robot and encrypt, but doesnā€™t.

I just reverted back to LineageOS 14.1 again ā€¦ which after the otherwise same steps successfully encrypted the phone, so it seems to me itā€™s the test build, not some other factor.

34

Yeah I just verified this issue in LOS 14.1 (with microG). The application Simple Camera from F-Droid doesnā€™t suffer from this issue, though Open Camera doesnā€™t either.

Thanks for the idea. This is, what I tried:

  • Download test-build-image of Lineage15.1
  • Download GappsPico
  • make .gapps-config containing only ā€˜Includeā€™ in folder with Gapps-Zip
  • in TWRP: queue first Lineage15.1, then the pico-gapps, reboot

Result:

  • Super fast booting into Lineage15.1 :+1:
  • Greeted by the G%%gle registration process :worried:

Restored my 14.1 again. Guess I will wait for the Gapps free versionā€¦

Wow thanks a ton @chrmhoffmann.
Does any of you flashed it with xposed?
I read someone tried and failed, but is it just a case or it wasnā€™t suppose to work yet?

37

Yes, I tried and ran into a bootloopā€¦Will try it again, when the build without gApps is availableā€¦

38

what is mandatory?

are you referring to the app SELinux Switch or to SELinux (permissive or enforcing mode).

Btw, have you ever thought about integrating WakeBlock into the ROM?

39

It is mandatory to switch SELinux (SEAndroid, really) to enforcing to get official LineageOS builds shipped to the public (remember this topic is just about test builds for early-testing).

AFAIK, he doesnā€™t develop LineageOS itself, ā€œjustā€ the FP2 port (i.e. the device-dependent parts). As your request is a general, system-wide one, you should reach the LineageOS developers directly in their gerrit or via other channels.

Yeah for Oreo! (I love those coookies, best part: are vegan!) :slight_smile:
Iā€™ll wait for a version w/o GApps and try it out aswell. I use my FP2 with 2 SIMs (private/work) so would need that functionality as well.
A question regarding back ups: if I backup everything with Titatnium Backup, will some of the system backups also work?

With Nougat or Oreo Wakelock blocking should really not be necessary. Besides, blocking a wakelock often complicates things and gives you bursts of battery usage.
Iā€™ve been on this path since KitKat, and stopped it with Nougat, as fighting the culprits is more worth than just blocking the warning signs.
(see the relevant XDA Threads about BBS, Amplify and Battery Time)
