[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 13.0 for Alcatel ONETOUCH IDOL 3 4.7

Status:
It still needs some polishing and cleaning up, and there are unresolved issues but nothing serious (check below). Based on user reports this is pretty usable. Battery and performance are both at least as good as stock, with the added benefit of having doze support, being less bloated, coming rooted etc.
Credits:
This wouldn't be possible without DeckerSU's post with an official MM rom. I've used his file to extract the binary stuff.
I've also cloned his device tree to build TWRP on omnirom since I was having a hard time building it on CM.
I started by cloning pivoq's device tree for CM12.1. So credit goes out to him too.
Those are just the things I've used directly but looking at other people's code also helped a ton to figure things out. So I guess credits goes also to the whole community/ecosystem.
Known Issues:
Smart lock isn't preserving settings across reboots. (If anyone is willing to test this and contact me, it can probably be fixed easily)
The bundled camera app (Snap) works well. Stock camera app works well as well (doesn't come with the ROM, maybe I'll provide a zip in the future). But some cam apps have issues.
Not Working / Enabled / Unknown:
Flip cover.
Drm?
Fastdormancy?
No NFC icon on statusbar. ** Won't fix ** - AOSP or CyanogenMod do not have such an icon. Some vendors add it. As such I don't think ROM should come with it by default. Either there's an exposed module for it that people can install, or a flashable zip can be made to add it. I think that's the better route rather than have the ROM come with it.
CNE - ** Won't fix ** - Disabled by choice. It's an anti-feature in my opinion.
Notes:
Doze: Officially doze requires a special motion sensor that our device does not have. Motion will not keep the device from dozing, or awake it. Also, doze by default takes a long time to kick in (about ~1h), and I would advise people to tweak those timings to their usage patterns with Doze Settings Editor (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/root-doze-settings-editor-android-t3235130), or some other app like Greenify / Nap time. Lastly doze is supposed to work with GCM, which isn't available on the ROM by default unless you install google apps or an adequate substitute.
XPosed: works with v87+.
SELinux: I've seen a lot of people setting selinux to permissive, often because of some xposed module. SELinux is an integral part of android's security. Things are already pretty bad with it, disabling it isn't recommended. While there will still be many security bugs, often selinux limits their scope or makes it so that multiple bugs will be required for successful explotation. No xposed module is worth that.

I've decided to post now, perhaps prematurely, because I'm very limited on time I can spend on this (can't afford it). I'm also unsure if there's even many people interested. So the best way forward if there's interest is either other people joining in and carrying this further, or supporting development with some donations.
Donations:
So far got 9 donations.
$50 < Total donations < $100.
Thanks to anyone who's donated and has shown appreciation!.

Cool nice to see devrlopment to the 4.7 idol, I'm still waiting for the official marshmallow update (europeu representativas on Twitter and Facebook keep saying its coming) but if that takes too long I might get to use this rom

wow, i never thought that we will ever get cm13! thank you for your hard work! please, don't give up!

Rom is Very good.

downloading it now, i'll have time to flash the rom tonight
does xposed work?
basic functions like phone, sms, 2g, wifi work without any problem?
what about battery?

I noticed I made a mistake on this build and as such the camera is broken. I'm gonna make a new build in a couple hours.
Never tried xposed.
Basic functions are all working for me. At least for the 6039Y I think it should work but we'll find out if people leave feedback. My guess is that it's probably working, with the exception of maybe dual sim variants.
Wifi should be working. Qualcomm CNE isn't, and I'm unsure if I even want it as a feature, need to research on it.
I haven't thought of a way to measure battery performance but I'm using it on my phone daily. If it's worse than it should be it's not by a very large margin. I also haven't run any kind of benchmark. (Too early for that in my opinion).

Thx,
for your work on CM13 for 4,7" Variant. If you upload new build with fixed camera i will test it on my europe 6039Y and leave feedback here.
Have a nice day

Updated original post. Cam should be working now.

Thank you very much! I really liked the hardware, but missing the MM update. But CM13 is even better:good::good:

First time I got into a bootloot updating from CM12.1, had to change data and cache filesystem back to ext4, don't forget.
Gonna test it now, hopefully you can merge the latests @Unjustified Dev commits when he makes them public aswell

Yes, I haven't enabled f2fs support yet. I intend to do it at some point. Pivoq had a kernel source tree in which he updated f2fs, supporting xattr etc. I haven't figured out where did he import those changes from yet. I wanted to do the same, but didn't want to import from him because that's not being kept in sync with upstream.
What commits are you talking about?

Xposed work perfectly.

Nice,
i have installed at this time incl. xposed , but without gapps. After first setup all OK. In the next days i test with all my apps and give you feedback. I`m hopefully. :good:

This is the greatest thing to ever happen to my Idol.
Thank you so much. Root and Xposed work fine. Latest version of Busybox installed fine.
Flashed Gapps Pico successfully.
Seems to be really smooth but time will tell. Themes work perfectly.
Using the advanced reboot menu to try and reboot into recovery doesn't work. Granted i'm not using the recovery linked in the original post. I'm using the recovery made by DeckerSU.
What recovery is linked in your post? Is it Cyanogenmod recovery or TWRP and if so, what version?
EDIT: Not even "Adb reboot recovery" will get the device to boot into recovery anymore. Hmm...

Wow, just wow. You did more in one day, than some of the "DEV's" here for their entire time good job man.

I have a very good idea of why that's happening. Did you happen to change your bootloader at any point? Alcatel's kernel source has a non standard way of handling reboot, what's more, it's not exactly the same in their lollipop vs marshmallow sources.
The recovery in the post is twrp 3.0.2 with support for encryption and adopted storage. It's using the same kernel, so if you flash that recovery what I expect will happen is that you wont be able to reboot into bootloader or reboot into recovery from the recovery either. The decision of where to reboot into is done by the bootloader and precedes the kernel, just so you know. Changing the recovery can't fix that. Of course you can always do so using power+volume keys, until I fix it.

I don't think I've changed the bootloader since I got the device. I don't have access to fastboot commands. My idol was a O2 branded one that I brought quite recently. I haven't been able to use Petrov.0's method of restoring the fastboot commands either. I don't really mind losing the ability to reboot into recovery from the system since its worth it for Android Marshmallow.
Thanks, I'll be using your recovery from now on too since its more updated. :good:

Flashed, tested
-unlocked 6039Y 2AALWE7
-tap to wake/sleep works
-sms, phone, wifi works
-gapps works
-front camera in photo mode really dark, in video mode is okay
-tried Google Camera from play store, it crashes everytime, when switching from video to photo mode
-so far I love this rom

[ROM] LineageOS 14.1 w/ SonyLOS 7.1 binaries, AOSP Kernel, Viper4Android, Apollo

Hi,
in my spare free time I compiled a new unofficial LineageOS 14.1 ROM on my beloved Phenom II system with ECC RAM and made it available to you for 90 days from
https://www.filefactory.com/file/5fqmz223n9gx/lineage-14.1-20170403-UNOFFICIAL-SonyLOS-kugo.zip
https://www.filefactory.com/file/121p40o8v8gb/lineage-14.1-20170403-UNOFFICIAL-SonyLOS-kugo.zip.md5sum
The ROM can be installed through a recovery like TWRP. I also applied some modifications, in particular:
- the SonyLOS kernel has been replaced with the Sony AOSP version which seemed to be more up to date
- using some 7.1 binaries of Sony AOSP instead of the 7.0 binaries used earlier enabling some more features (?)
- replaced the LineageOS camera with the Simple Camera app
- integrated Total Commander, Apollo music player v2, SELinux permission changer and Viper4Android apps since I need them
Consequently,
- patchlevel now is March 5th, 2017
- the fingerprint sensor now seems to be usable to unlock your device
- the FM radio works (however, you have to manually scan through the stations once because automatically finding the stations initially still does not seem to work completely)
- the selfie camera image no longer will be upside down (seemed to be an issue with the LineageOS camera app, also will work correctly with i.e. Focal if you prefer a sophisticated app instead of Simple Camera)
- I can now use Apollo again as I did on the Z1 compact with CM 12
- the bass boost and equalizer are back with Viper, you just need to invoke the SELinux changer on the rooted device and install the drivers initially through Viper itself
Thanks fly out to Sony AOSP, SonyLOS and the app providers. Feedback is also very welcome.
Regards,
jtk_de
@admin: Could we please move this thread and my previous one to the ROM section ? I'm still not allowed to post something there

Great to see you're still updating your ROM. Don't understand why you upload at filefactory (sloooow download) instead of androidfilehost for example. Will flash your ROM tomorrow.
- should I flash a stock ROM first or does it not matter which version I'm coming from
- what do I need the .md5sum file for?
- gapps are not included, right?

I tried to use androidfilehost but my uploads got interrupted so I had to stick with filefactory for now. You don't need to flash the stock ROM first, just wipe the system, cache etc. partitions in your recovery and flash the .zip.
The md5sum checksum file is there to ensure the ROM integrity and is not needed for the flash, however, TWRP optionally can read it and veryify that the ROM has been correctly downloaded and copied to your phone's storage. Gapps is not included since I use alternative apps, hence it must be installed separately.
Root access is integrated already and can be controlled via the developer settings. The only issue I experienced so far is that the volume cannot be altered yet during phone calls

I don't get viper4android to work. I install the drivers, reboot my device and then viper4android prompts me to install the drivers again. Am I doing something wrong?

You need to enable root first and start the SELinuxModeChanger installed with the ROM and set SELinux to "Permissive". Then the Viper drivers can be installed which can take quite long (a minute or so). If an Android dialog pops up because of this confirm that you would like to wait longer. Then reboot as indicated and enjoy the bass

That worked for me thank you

Hey,
many thanks for that ROM. Unfortunately i end up in a never ending boot animation. If i get in recovery (TWRP) and tell him to reboot, it tells me that no OS is installed. Any hints how this can be solved?
Thanks for any advice!

Hi!
I think there aren't any os on your device, thats wha twrp sad that... because, your systems encrypted. You could remove it. Try to flash again twrp from fastboot, than clear cache ( fastboot format cache ) and userdata ( fastboot format userdata ) from flashtools too. After that boot to twrp, than you could mount system, than flash the whole cm rom again. After that, i think it will boot correctly.

Thanks for the hint. Did what you said, but i cant mount system in recovery. It cant be selected in the list. Any other suggestions? Ok solved it. had to flash stock rom and boot.img before the steps you asked me to try. Thank you!

Thank you for putting this ROM together! There are the following problems on the OmniROM:
1. Incall speaker volume is not controllable
2. Slight incall echo on receiving side
3. Double tap to wake doesn't work
Is this still the case for your Lineage ROM?

Could you try uploading to mega.nz? FileFactory is so slow

minimum Brightness
Hey!
i was just wondering if its possible to lower the minimal brightness a bit more. because minimal brightness is quite bright still. Im using this ROM for a few days now. Everything works pretty fine, but the battery life is a bit short for what i was expecting. If i dont use extreme battery saving mode its always around 24 hours. i barely do phone calls and i use it not very intensively... Highest Consumer is standby with 5%, which i think is wierd, isn´t it?

:good: Kudos. Everything seems to work well aside from the Bluetooth Audio cutting out after a few minutes. Overall I am really happy with it - happy enough that it's my daily driver.

Hi!
ROM will be better and better. Thanks.
Battery charging speed a bit slow, and if I'm using a mobil net, it's draining a little fast, plus in the evening, with wifi on, it goes down nearly 5%>. Camera is good. But, im using open cam software from google play. Fingerprint sensor working good, just a little hard to configure it. I'm using substratum theme engine, and i can theme most of the base and google apps. ( Except fingerprint sensor, with themed settings, the fingerprint setup screen cracked... but inthinknits theme problem ) And about bluethooth.. yes, it's dropping the connection after a few secs. But, if you left it, then reconnect automatically and just after that, it goes good. Until you turn it off. I used a sony sbh70 wireless headset with power amp.
And echo sound in calling. I can't hear echo, but other peoples in line, they sad it. They hear onselfs twice.. :/
If you would like it, maybe i can upload a logfile ( with matlog ) about the bluethooth problem.
Anyway, thanks foe thiese rom for our x compact.

It's good to see some other people are using the ROM and testing things that I can't test
According to my own experience battery lifetime is around 2-3 days when surfing via wi-fi, listening to music and calling from time to time. Battery charging with the Sony AC adapter coming with the phone is quite quick compared to the Z1C although the battery capacity is higher.
If I make another build I'll upload it to some faster provider though.

hello all,
give it some news there? Last entry April 2017.....

Hi all, are there some updates? I love Lineage OS

I'm wondering why there isn't an official build for the Xperia X Compact yet ? If I google "kugo lineageos" I get a hit for a stats page:
https://stats.lineageos.org/model/kugo
Which just says the page isn't rendered yet, but obviously someone has been devoting his/her time to the kugo. What could be the hold up? Same goes for the lack of other roms btw. It seems Sony is quite open towards the community but somehow this hasn't resulted in the overwhelming amount of roms I was hoping for ... It's quite underwhelming in fact. Could it be not enough (knowledgable) people own an Xperia X Compact ?

Sony gives us a sliver of what is needed for AOSP to run, camera, bluetooth, wifi, and radio band stuff all has to be manually made to work. The z3 line was the ONLY xperia line to ever get mainstream AOSP support from devs. If you bought your xperia thinking Sony's AOSP program was good you were sadly mistaken.

(Please reply)Facing a strange problem while flashing miui Pro

Last few days I tried to use custom ROM. Volte doesn't work. I've given up on that issue now. Now problem is Miui pro.
After flashing it keeps showing boot logo ( I waited for more than 30 minutes) but the older version (7... Something) flashes without any problem.
How long should I wait to complete it's booting process( more than an hour??!!!!!)
P.s- device encryption is enabled [ but I don't think it's causing the problem cuz older version is doing fine]

http://miuiid.blogspot.in/p/rom.html?m=1
Download this and flash like normal rom.
First clear data, dv-cache, system,
Then flash this along with magisk
After flash don't clear dv-cache, not even after flashing magisk and dont change anythink in the system partition untill first boot u can also flash the magisk modules straight ahead.
This is miui id best, u get paid themes free, also volte working and it does have split screen.
Note:- don't forget to flash magisk, don't clear cache after flashing the rom and i mean anytime don't do it it will take a lot of time then.
First boot will take 15 min, dont wait for it once it gets past the boot logo and enters the bootanimation wait for 2 min then again do force reboot by long pressing the power button, do it one more time this time wait for 5 min if it opens then good or again reboot. This time it will happen.
The rom is stable and totally worth the trouble.
This process is just to reduce the first booting time.
Thanks ?

Also check this post for more information.

Thanks.

Im running Miui 9.2 global stable 9.2.2.0
Can i do dirty install? I dont wanna lose apps data

Im using stock miui global stable 9.2.2. Android 6.0
If i wanna install miui id, do i need to wipe all , as in format my handset. Or is it ok to just wipe system, cache dv? I dont wanna lose my apps data

@Trovies hi,
Just do titanium or swiftbackup search the apk in google, and u can do dirty flash but i will not recommend it.
Note :- download the premium version of the swiftbackup from the internet.
Thanks

very well explained. As per habit I was clearing both dv cache and cache and due to this rom was taking too much time to boot. But after reading your post I have made clear pretty much everything. This is the best MIUI rom I have ever used. Performance, battery life, smoothness everything is spot on. I just wish it would had double tap to wake feature and recent apps menu would had icon mode option. Audio through earphones is also low. other than that its fantastic rom.

Well u don't get everything but the things you mentioned i don't use it. So... Good for me right. ?For the audio problem use Dolby from the magisk repo the lenovo A7000 one the others don't work. Just flash the settings zip after flashing the rom and don't clear cache

well I'm using viper4android but with it audio quality increased but volume decreased further, I think I can live up with it. After flashing settings zip I did everything as you mentioned (did not clear dvk cache or cache) but now rom is stuck on mi logo (almost 20 to 25 minutes) can I dirty flash rom again???? Or do I need to do clean install??

yup I'm not noob and doing exactly as you are saying but still I'm struggling with this rom
1st attempt wipe dalvik, system, data cache - flashed rom - flashed settings zip - flashed magisk - tried to flash magisk modules (failed) - reboot without any wipe - rom didn't boot
2nd attempt - clean installed with only rom and settings zip - booted normally - went to bootloader again installed magisk - reboot system - went in bootloader again - flashed app systemizer module- rebooted successfully - went to magisk manager and added module youtube advanced - reboot stuck on mi logo
3rd attempt - reinstalled clean as described in 2nd attempt till the setup of app sytemizer on reboot - went to app systemizer module and ticked gps app- module asked to reboot boooooom stuck on mi logo
Everything I wrote above is my common practice with every miui rom but I don't know why It is not working with this rom. anyways thanks for your help I am moving to global stable as I can't live without these modules. n sorry for bad english

Ya i know modules can be a pain in the ass only one suggestion when ever after flashing a module if its stuck in the bootloop then just use magisk Uninstaller then again install Magisk or use magisk for recovery to remove the particular module which is causing boot loop also use root youtube valence and use universal installer it will not cause bootloop. Also use minimal module only what you need. Ok then. Also do as u discreet i am fine in this rom. And its great. ?

See my modules

I too use YouTube vanced.
Man u got to find solutions not give up and change only after a few attempts. U know how many times i got bootloop because of this rom and it's compatibility issues with the modules. After many attempts i got it. Now its the best custom miui rom ever also the dev is constant and hops to bring miui 10. Also if u have used this rom only for a few hours u can realize the difference.

yup there is no doubt this is best custom miui rom out there. But this bootloop and boot time driving me nuts. I wonder why all this problems are popping up though the rom is based on official firmware and I've never faced such problem with official roms. I will give it a try again after two days. I just hope that time it will go smooth.

What do you mean by good camera quality? Cause I'm contemplating switching over.

well obviously the stock camera is better but comparing this one to the other roms available it's better, if only it has a manual focus

is there working OIS (optical image stabilization)?

Does anyone know how to contact Lunarixus for feedback and contribute debugging?
His LOS16 release is amazing work! Finally having HWC is a godsend. However I have found a few odd behaviors after a fresh wipe & install, Gapps nano with Google Maps, Chrome.
Something is broken with the Geofencing API backend - it appears to be triggering regardless of fence radius. After opening and closing Google Maps with Location Sharing enabled, GMS calls GNSSLocationProvider and gets stuck in a endless polling loop with wakelock. (See screen-cap attachment)
Logcat reporting AVC {find} denied to servicemanager /dev/bind. Something to do with the gpsd daemon. This repeats endlessly and prevents the CPU from sleeping. Despite the kernel in fake-permissive: toggling setenforce from adb seems to solve the problem.
4658-4658 E/SELinux: avc: denied { find } for service=sensorservice pid=6111 uid=1021 scontext=u:r:init:s0 tcontext=ubject_r:sensorservice_service:s0 tclass=service_manager permissive=0

Occasionally touch events appear to be lost making the activity appear to be frozen. I see someone else already commented about this in a post before mine. Workaround by pressing the recent apps to cycle the activity to background then to front. If the touch event loss occurs while using the system UI, I have been unable to recover from this situation except reboot forcibly.

Inverted/Reversed Touch Screen
so after installing the ROM i flashed the image File to BOOT, it has only 2 options in TWRP for flashing image files : 1st. is boot - & 2nd. is recovery - which i selected boot and now i have a INVERTED AXIS Touch Screen, the inverted touch problem even exists in recovery and for an example when i swipe from left to right it gets swiped from right to left its like the screen is flipped... just touch wise, any solutions ?
i have a SM-G920F (Flat Galaxy S6 with TWRP 3.3.1.0)
thanks in advance

never mind i found a solution ;
so i tried the latest official firmware by downloading it from SamFrim tool but it just kept failing in the last stage of odin flashing so what i did was :
1.flash latest twrp (v3.3.1.0 at the moment)
2.installed a zipped "touchwhiz" rom
3.booted and went to dialer and dialed *#2663#
4.updated touch firmware and went back to twrp
5.wiped everything and enabled mtp and transferred Pico Gapps + LOS Rom (given at the first post) + HyperLOSFlat (which is in the telegram channel)
6.installed rom and then flashed HyperLOSflat.img
7.Reboot and waited for the system to boot then went back to twrp
8.installed gapps and rebooted

What the... When I'm installing GApps Aroma/Stock/Nano/Pico/Boku no Pico from OpenGApps, I have bootloop. IDK why, bc I'm installing firstly ROM, then kernel, and then zipped archive of GApps. And no errors also. Only average loading, but like 10 minutes, than 10 seconds of dark display, and reboot to recovery.
UPD: I fixed. If anyone will have bootloops after installing OpenGApps, then just install MindTheGApps. Here is the link. Firstly I installed ROM, then "su" addon from LineageOS, then MindTheGApps.

Anyone tired to flash?

So i have wiped everything except data-media before installing this, magisk and opengapps and yet i still get a long long bootscreen followed by a dark boot screen and then finally boot back to recovery (also the case with mindthegapps)
can anybody lend me a hand with this one? trying to install on a g920f
EDIT: never mind i completely forgot to flash the zerofltexx kernel lol

Android 10 GSI

Note: Make sure your phone is decrypted and do not turn on the secure boot feature where you need to put in your pattern to boot system!
So as I'm currently without a PC and can't restore the stock images I wanted to share the best method for using Android 10 I've found.
Get the latest phh gsi image v210 is what I used.
Get the latest Lineage OS GSI 17.1 image.
Get the Trinity v2 kernel (beta is what I used).
Get the latest Android 10 pico or nano gapps from opengapps. (I used nano)
Boot to recovery and factory reset.
Install phh gsi IMG to system. When finished don't reboot. (I do this to keep security patches as up to date as possible)
Install LineageOS IMG (DIRTY FLASH).
Install Trinity Kernel to Boot
Reboot system
(Optional once you fully boot you can reboot recovery and flash the f2fs zip from Arter Kernel then reboot recovery and wipe data. When you reboot system you may freeze during setup just reboot by holding the power in until the phone restarts. It will finish setup this time.)
Reboot recovery and flash gapps. If you get error 70 resize the system partition. It will work after resizing once or twice.
When it boots you can do your traditional setup.
Reboot recovery and Install Magisk v20.3.zip
Reboot system and Install Magisk Modules Busybox for Android NDK and Magisk Hide Props Config.
Install terminal app of choice following Reboot
Type su in terminal and hit enter
Type props in terminal and hit enter
Change the fingerprint to Razer Android v9 and Reboot following the prompts.
Congratulations you now have LineageOS Android 10 and are passing safetynet.
Notes:
You can Install v4a if you want.
I highly suggest installing the l'speed module from Magisk as it stabilizes the freezing/kernel.
You can also Install EdXposed and the beta for GravityBox Q ... Still passing safetynet.
Logo++ will fix your Razer logo on the rear of device.
Bluetooth works fine as does everything I've tested.
Downloads needed:
Latest phh GSI for AOSP Android 10
Latest LineageOS 17.x GSI Image
Trinity Kernel (v2)
Magisk v20.3
Pico or Nano GAPPS from OpenGapps
Optional:
V4A (requires the Magisk Module Audio Modification Library)
EdXposed Riru - Core (Magisk Module)
EdXposed - Sandhook Beta / Canary (Installed from manager)
EdXposed - Latest Manager (do not use Taichi)
GravityBoxQ Beta (gives you a lot of customization like the battery icon in statusbar)
Logo+
LSpeed Module for Magisk (lspeed-master.zip)
F2FS_FSTAB.zip from ArterKernel Thread
***Note*** this isn't flawless but when using the LSpeed Magisk Module it's very close**"
**"" LineageOS Freezes every now and then where the AOSP GSI doesn't but I can't get the AOSP to pass safetynet***

Screenshots
Note I changed the font to Comfortaa via Magisk Font Changer Module

SafetyNet

Magisk modules I personally use. Ignore older versions of the same module.

Change the fingerprint to Razer Android v9 and Reboot following the prompts.

Will game booster work in cortex app?

I'm on T-mobile, and with every 10 Gsi I've tried, I've installed the required ims.apk. Unfortunately, I can only send sms, not recieve. Do you not have this problem?

Can you receive text messages through LTE? I can't seem to get it to work on T-mobile.

Try moving the ims.apk to /vendor/overlay and see if that works.

Wish I had more time and knew more about Android to bake us up a solid AOSP ROM for this phone. Great hardware to work with here and like I've said before I can't believe there is not one Dev in this community to pick this phone up as cheap as it is and get something going

I feel like it's the nature of ROM developers sticking to the devices they have. They are currently developing for other phones, and don't want to have to move/develop for a new phone, nor do they have the time to develop for another phone. To be fair, we are not completely in the dark; f(x)THaxxorX seems to be working on patched versions of popular GSIs that are more suited for the hardware of the RP2:

Ugh. I don't know why I keep trying. SMS doesn't work over LTE on TMobile using this method either. OP, your profile says you're on TMobile. Have you solved this problem somehow?

Are you still trying to use a Q GSI? If you are willing to go back to a Pie-based GSI, installing ims.apk and moving the apk to "/vendor/overlay/" works every time for me.

From my experience, Pie ROMs have issues with the fingerprint scanner reliability, and media in a lot of games seems to have buffering issues as it frequently cuts out.

I have the same problems on ArrowOS(the fingerprint sensor problem is pretty rare. The speaker issue is really annoying, but it only happens at low volumes), but I guess it depends on how much you're willing to take. If you want to keep to use Q GSIs, our best option is just to wait for patched GSIs by f(x)THaxxorX that might be coming out at some point(Soon™).

I think the speaker itself might have issues as I even had this issue with Android 9 GSIs, from what I remember. At first I suspected buffer-related issues but after some testing it doesn't seem to be the only issue. Setting the media volume to at least 50% would allow most of the audio to get out of the speaker, but at max volume the speaker can be really loud (to the point that I feel the speaker could be potentially damaged) so I usually set it to at most 80% when I need to place the phone a bit far from where I am.
Also, I haven't gotten aptX working on Android 10 GSIs due to a strange null pointer dereference bug which would crash the entire Bluetooth stack. Only SBC works as intended. As I noticed that the author of gjf_bt Magisk module (which adds aptX libraries as well as SBC tweaks) recently blacklisted Android 10 and onwards, I think the issue might have more to do with the Android 10 system itself.

Hey! Can anyone confirm if LDAC is working on this? I have never rooted a phone before just doing it to enable LDAC. Also, does this OS support setting for Refresh rate?

I love Lineage OS 17, but I noticed that I don't receive text messages anymore. I could receive text messages when I first flashed it, and after a couple of hours, I could not. Then, I could send messages and I could send and receive calls. I could use data. I could not receive text messages. Is there a fix for this problem? I tried using Lineage 16, but I still could not receive text messages. I am back to stock, for the moment. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm using AT&T service.
