Can you provide instruction on how to disassemble the phone. Also where to order spares from. The digitiser on my Storm is cracked and Wileyfox want to charge me the price of a new phone to replace it.

Eh, sorry mate, I don't know how to disassemble the device and no one else sure as hell knows how to do it (at least on other websites). There are only reviews and unboxing experiences of the Wileyfox Storm and guides on how to flash ROMs, root and recoveries, etc. But some member will help you out, surely! If nobody seems to be knowing the issue, pm a forum moderator so that he/she can guide you to some links/methods. :fingers-crossed: Best of Luck!

Downgrade to android 6.0 marshmallow
Hello everyone, well recently my phone updated to android 7.1.1 and I didn´t like very much, so could help me and tell me if is there a way to go back to android marshmallow 6.0, just like it came when I bought it. Is it possible and does anyone know how to do it?

Okay so im trying to get lineage Os on my phone, this OS isn't working at all i get in bootloops etc. So i tried AOSP extended and i managed to get this working. But when i try to install gapps or try to flash Super su or magisk it returns error 1. The problem is in the recovery probably. So i tried to flash / boot a different TWRP version but all of the other versions give me this error: FAILED (remote: dtb not found). I would appreciate any help i can get i am hardstuck because i cant get a proper working TWRP recovery working and the only rom i am able to flash is AOX but without gapps that isnt worth much.
Thanks in advance.

First of all, what build of LineageOS are you trying to install??? If it is dated 12.07.2017 or 05.07.2017 - it won't work at all. That builds are broken. Use 28.06 or 21.06 build.
Secondly, what TWRP version do you use? I installed LOS via TWRP 3.1.0.0.
Newer version is available now.
And what bootloader version do you have on your Storm. I mean what stock ROM was installed before installing TWRP.

It seems to me, AEX is pre-rooted and comes with magisk pre-installed. When I installed that - only gapps were necessary.
Gapps need to be installed immediately after installing ROM, without any reboot.

I was using 05/07 build so that explains that. Im using TWRP 3.0.3.0 Kipper, but i can't find newe TWRP builds for the wileyfox storm, if you could give me some links that would be great. Stock rom was android 7.1 i believe and bootloader version is 'kipper-N-g2253387'. When i installed AEX via my (probably corrupt) TWRP recovery it says it also flashed Magisk but once the phone starts and i go to the magisk app it says im unrooted and so does rootchecker say. I think my biggest problem is with the TWRP recovery. If you could get me the download links of the versions your using that would be great.

Here you can get TWRP

Thanks to kligli from 4pda
Maybe the bootloader from 7.1-wileyfox is not compatible with Lineage OS.
Before flashing TWRP and LOS, I rolled back to COS 13.1.5 official Wileyfox ROM via fastboot. So I don't really know whether it is compatible or not.

So i flashed the twrp 3.1 and that works, it installs gapps now and no error with lineage OS, im gonna boot phone soon hopefully lineage will start to, i didnt know what gapps to flash but i tried the arm64 because i read it somewhere. But isn't the Storm ARM?

Use ARM64 - 7.1 - nano or pico GApps. Lineage official site said it works even without any GApps, but I have not tried that.

So I just bought a wileyfox storm few days ago and am on 7.1.1 what is the rooting method thanks.

Also a just went into the bootloader and status is unlocked but I never unlocked the bootloader yet any ideas on this??

Hi Guys
Someone of you have audio problems on whatsapp ( with integrated and bt mic ) when recording audio? ( noise and metallic audio recording )

LineageOS 15.1 Releasing.

So I found out today that LineageOS 15.1 has started rolling out builds to some devices. Here's a link to the article and which devices are first in line! The shamu isn't on the list, but will hopefully be coming soon!

It's not an unofficial build of LineageOS. It's just some stuff he managed to compile from my sources. I'd rather not use it as NFC is horribly broken.

Oh man I'm sorry, I wasn't aware of that. I just flashed it yesterday poked around a bit and went back to screw'd. I just wanted to see if it was close to the release notes. It was a build from a few days ago. Its the one named unofficial. Lineage.15.1 on afh ..can't wait for your build though

@Elektroschmock Is there any place where we can track the development progress of LOS 15.1 for the Nexus 6? I know that there's the LOS Gerrit, but for those of us who don't really know what work needs put in to porting Android to an officially-unsupported device, it isn't very revealing.
And of course, thanks for all the time and hard work you put in to keeping our shamus alive!

Hi,
Installed Lineage 15.1 Beta 3 with open GApps Arm /8.1 /Stock.
1. Dialer there is no Graphic when somebody calls, no way to pick up or hang down the phone.
For the workaround I used is , the ON, OFF button and volume control to operate the phone.
2. Lock screen when playing Music is freezing.
workaround, turned off Musik Visualisierung.
thats so far all.
Thanks for All the work.

For #1 make sure you have the phone app set as the default Settings>Apps>Configure Apps>Phone App (might be slightly different for 8.1)

15.1 is on the shamu nighties now.

Is there root available to 15.1? Thanks!

There is a Howto on lineageroms but I found that coming from a rooted 14.1, SuperSU from the Playstore does the trick much easier.
The 14.1 addonsu definitely did not work for me.

First off, hats off to the LineageOS devs for this ROM. Everything works, but there are some bugs
1. The call history is perpetually empty, it does not keep track of call history (at least on my device)
2. The wifi gets selective about apps with internet access when I am connected for long enough, whatsapp and other IM apps stop working and require a restart.
3. The bluetooth as well has some issues. Bluetooth audio works perfectly as well as bluetooth LE but file transfers (at least for me) require a restart.

This is what I did about the twrp password problem. I used a mixture of ideas from the kind people here. Hooked N6 to my laptop with adb functional in developer settings. I had all the files in a folder on the laptop desktop. Booted to recovery. I did a full wipe including storage. I formatted data like many suggested. This is an important next step. Reboot recovery to verify the password is not required. I did and password request was gone. My phone storage now showed on my PC with twrp booted. I created a download folder on my phone and transferred Lineage 15,
Gapps, and magisk. Rebooted recovery one more time to verify password was gone and files were available. Installed all and rebooted system and all is well. Thanks everyone for the guidance.

Think were April Screwed.... No 15.1 LOS Update as of 4/9
April Screwed!
Guess the crappy April Fools joke goes a step further, apparently they did even bother with the Vendor key for the image they uploaded as a joke and I suspect there will be no official LOS 15.1 support for the Nexus 6. I was hoping to see a weekly update with at least that fixed, the fact that I don't makes me wonder if we are abandoned by LOS.
P.S. Ya that TWRP password crap and the encryption breakage was total BS as well.

Possible T560 and T561 roms on Russian forum

a user sent me a PM with a link to a Russian forum that may contain roms for both T560 and T561.
I can see links for CM 11 to 13 and Lineage 14 but I am not sure if these are actual roms, fix or bug reports.
So anyone here speak Russian?
link here: MOD Edit :- Links Removed
Let's discuss here

Was able to download the firmware for CM 13 (MM 6.0.1) and Lineage 14 but haven't flashed them yet since the link for boot.img for the roms is dead. hmmm
Lineage 14: MOD Edit :- Links Removed
CM 13: MOD Edit :- Links Removed

I tried cm12.1, 13, 14.1 in my sm-t560.
Cm12.1 it works but then it restarts
CM 13 no bugs
lineage 14.1 no works

Hi so CM 13 is ok from the following links? Did you need to flash the boot.img?
I read you said no bugs but to be sure, does the USB OTG work on the CM 13 still?
Can you lay down what you did exactly. Thanks buddy!

Will just do a backup and flash this. We can talk about features here as well so others will know. I have a T561

Are you using TWRP 3.0 on your T560? It's a requirement for flashing lineage 14.
However, I'm using T561 and I can't find a compatible TWRP version 3.0 for my device.
Will try to flash CM 13 now. Will update.

3.0.2-0, the one that is published here.

Yes I saw T560 has a TWRP version 3. However T561 doesn't have it and the one on the Russian forum seems pouting to a dead link. Will try to contact the author. He was the one who sent me a PM.
Anyway, so CM 13 worked for me. Still testing but I find the animations a little sluggish. Not sure but in the early days of Android ROM flashing it was advised to let a new rom settle for a couple of hours, even days. I will be patient with this. It's a fresh sight over TouchWiz.
Anyway quite happy I found a working rom after months of searching (CM 13).
All essentials are working so far.
Wifi
USB OTG
Camera
Sim (t561)
USB MTP seems broken. My laptop can detect it and shows as removable storage but it doesn't show on the windows explorer. Not sure what's going on. Anyway not a biggie I can use the OTG to transfer files.
Attaching some pictures here.
Will update on performance.

Do you have the img of 14.1?

Nope non, haven't tried flashing lineage 14 since it says it requires TWRP 3.0 which I don't have.
How do you find CM 13 so far? Wonder if the lineage 14 OS is much faster. Haven't heard from the creator yet. He did mention he isn't as active here.

One thing I noticed is the CM 13 (marshmallow) does not support moving of app from internal to partitioned SDcard via App2SD or Link2SD.
Not sure if it's a Marshmallow thing (adoptable storage) or a rom thing.
Thoughts?
Edit:
Moving2SD isn't supported but linking to SD is.

All thanked for Ma3a_XaTa

Wow thank you for this. Yes he was the one who sent me a message. Do I need to flash this via Odin or flashing it via existing TWRP is ok? Have you tried Lineage 14?
EDIT:
Flashed the TWRP 3.0 via TWRP 2.8. Will update if Lineage 14 is ok.
EDIT:
The device boots up on Lineage 14 but I am always notified of the following warning.
"com.android.phone has stopped"
I am able to set up the tablet but that warning always pops up even after two install attempts.
Also, The SIM card isn't detected on this ROM, which is a no biggie but would help if anyone knows of a fix?

This is the error I am recieving. Hope there's a fix for this
Edit:
Edit:
Tried the following steps
Clear Cache and Data of the Phone App, SIM Toolkit, Reboot. The problem still persists.
Lineage 14 is so much faster then CM 13. We're so close already to having a useable Nougat ROM. Maybe it has something to do with that boot.img for lineage which can't be downloaded.
Found a temporary fix.
Activate developer options > USB Debugging. Then when the warning prompts again, there is now an option > hide till device restarts.

Good work many thanks for you and we wating fixes thank you

So far so good using this tablet on Lineage 14. I am using a very good launcher called Sentio Launcher. Allows me to work on the tablet like a laptop. I have a Bluetooth keyboard.
This is good as a daily driver. Wish the SIM function can be fixed but I don't mind really :3

Moto G6 Plus (XT1926-3 evert) and custom rom´s

Hello Guy´s!
Im a happy customer of Motorla. My Moto G6 Plus its a perfect smartphone for daily use! After 2 Years of abstinence from the custom rom scene i will try to install a Pie custom rom. Now i see that this smartphone have less support from developer side! Since a few days a TWRP is official for the G6 Plus but its only to boot not to install/flash! The reason is that there is no recovery partition. Im really disapointed now! I read so much how to´s and brick my phone several times.
Have you any idea why the G6 Plus dont have support from the developers? Or have any suggestion where i can found a working Pie custom rom for my phone?
Many greets from Germany!
Martin

Pie is working. Just not released to public. Check out the telegram dev chat. Still needs some spit and polish. For now you can flash Los15.1 then flash an oreo GSI in the Treble Development forum. Oh and official twrp is broken period. Use twrp in Los15. 1 thread. Many devices lack recovery partion these days. It goes to boot instead.

Hello Xplorer4x4!
This morning i read a bit in this telegram dev chat. Its a problem to find a summary. I tried to flash los15.1 from the thread but i brick my phone with that patched boot image that is suggested. Okay i made a mistake before and flash the twrp to the boot partition!
Greets Martin

Patched boot img? No idea what your talking about other then the old root method. Short and sweet, you should probably flash stock firmware from here. Next boot unofficial twrp, format (not wipe) data, install los15(or 16), format data and boot to Los. You can't skip Los set up. Boot twrp again. You have 2 options.
1. Flash a gsi and format data again.
2. Flash Gapps and magisk. Format data.
Boot and profit. For now Los 16 with a gsi is bit buggy. Los16 is pretty stable though. Los 15.1(with or without gsi) is more stable but lacks Bluetooth calling.

Many thanks for youre support! I will try it again. The G6 Plus its a A/B Device. Can i use LOS16 then without GSI?
Greets Martin

Yes Los 15 and 16 are specific to our device as custom roms always have been. They make our vendor partion fully compatible to Google standards unlike stock moto and that makes them play nicer with a gsi. With GSI make sure it's arm64 and A/B like you said. Gsi is a new format started in Oreo so devs still need time to better utilize the format.

Hello again!
Yesterday i try to find a LOS 16 for our device. I couldn't find anyone. Could you send me a link for one? Why we do not have a own forum for the g6 plus? Have you any information about that?
And please give me the Telegram group for the g6 plus. Yesterday I installed the stock again and lost this information. :laugh:

[GUIDE] Fix fingerprint

Because many users are repeatedly asking this and everyone needs to answer again and again, I write it up here:
This is only true for Oreo and later Custom ROMs! For nougat refer to post #3 by @TheFixItMan (thanks for the tip that users still use nougat )
You can choose between this ways (doing both is wasted time!)
- Have stock Oreo installed before flashing your ROM (for most users not an option because they already have the issue)
- Flash https://github.com/nift4/nift4.github.io/releases/tag/cedric-fp-fix over your existing custom ROM
Yes, it's so easy

do you have the fix for Lineage os 14.1, i tried this ine didn't work for me. :s

Download stock nougat firmware and flash just the following two parts
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
For fingerprint to work you need to have a base stock firmware that matches the base of the rom you are using - so in the case of lineage 14.1 that is nougat
The zip file in the op contains oero files so is for people who never bothered flashing oero firmware when they flashed an oero based custom rom
OP should explain what the zip file does (flashes the two files I've mentioned but from oero firmware) to help people understand the issue

I was on Nougat and I updated to Carbon Rom (after trying with lineage 17, same issue) and i have to choices:
-Doing nothing and people can hear me when i am in speakerphone but the fingerprint doesn't work.
-I patch with the first link for orea then the fingerprint work but people can't hear me when i'm in speakerphone.
Patching with nougat files does nothing...
Is there a way to edit the fix or to make a fix myself avoiding the speaker issue ?
I though to change build.prop or a way to change the way sound is mixed during call but i did'nt test changing all lines.
Do you have an other idea ?
A fix for pie ? ( Carbon is Pie when Pie is cooked too much time =D )
Thank you,
Pierre Archer
The ROM: CARBON-CR-7.0-OPAL-RELEASE-cedric-20200920-0426

As explained
If your stock rom firmware is nougat I suggest updating it to oreo to use pie custom rom
Read my post above (post number three) for full explaination
Any other issues is probably a rom issue - I don't even think carbon rom is actively supported for this device. Use lineageos/Mint os from dev section

Thank you !
Sorry, I midunderstood, I understand better now.
Then installing oreo stock ROM add more "compatibility files" to link with a pie ROM from nougat.
Lineage os is not officially supported on motog5 device, thats why i looked for carbon. But the unofficial lineage os for motog5 look like as frequently updated as "official" carbon rom. I dont know if Carbon updates are caring of hardware details and if they are released without real adaptation. Lineage os pay probably more attention to hardware because motog5 is not officially supported by lineage... Idk...
Thank you,

Don't be concerned too much about the terms official and unofficial
Nearly all lineageos roms will start off as unofficial - it's users who build it. It's only when they are submitted to lineageos and they add it to their build server it becomes official but its the same device tree.
The only reason the lineage os rom has not been made official is because the camera is not fully working like it is in stock rom so it doesn't meet the criteria to be submitted
