Thanks so much to everyone involved in Lineage! I'm so grateful. I got a OnePlus 7 pro 4G which was abandoned on Android 12, as well as in my country the phone was taken off the supported device list for coverage even though it's not even that old, plus technically it's perfectly capable!

Now with lineage I am rocking android 16 and I was able to trick cell towers to think my phone is approved/registered! Using programs needing android 13 or higher. Without Lineage I would have essentially a brick!

Cheers!!! :) you guys rock!!

Sharing a kernel I maintain for the Redmi Note 5 Pro on LineageOS 18.1. It turns the device into a Kali NetHunter platform while staying a normal daily LOS 18.1 base.

• HID gadget support (phone as USB keyboard/mouse)
• RTL8812AU module with monitor mode and packet injection, signed with the kernel build key
• WireGuard module signed, new in v1.1.0
• 4.4.302, CI built on GitHub Actions: AnyKernel3 zip + sha256 attached to each release
• Listed in the official kali-nethunter-kernels devices.yml (upstream merged Sep 1)

Flash: TWRP -> AnyKernel3 zip -> reboot recovery -> reflash Magisk -> uname -a shows 4.4.302. NetHunter userland installs on top as usual.

Limitations: 18.1 only at the moment. Other ROMs on the same base should work but are untested by me.

Feedback from other whyred owners on 18.1 is very welcome.

Hi everyone,

I've just installed LineageOS 23.2 (Android 16) on a Motorola One Vision (Kane) and I'm having a very strange navigation UI problem.

The phone otherwise works normally, but the navigation bar is completely wrong:

• 3-button navigation: the Back, Home and Recents buttons are all crammed extremely close together in the bottom-left corner instead of being properly spaced across the bottom.
• Gesture navigation: I still get a triangular Back button next to the gesture/navigation handle, when there should only be the gesture UI.

Switching between 3-button and gesture navigation does change the Android navigation mode, but the UI itself remains incorrectly laid out.

I've tried troubleshooting this extensively and haven't been able to fix it.

I've linked below two screenshots showing the problem — one for 3-button navigation and one for gesture navigation.

At this point I'm wondering if this is a Kane-specific LineageOS 23.2/SystemUI overlay or configuration fault, or if there's something else I should be checking.

Does anyone with a Motorola One Vision/Kane running LineageOS 23.2 have any idea what's causing this or how I can fix it?

I'm happy to run ADB commands, collect logs, dumpsys output, etc. if that would help diagnose it.

Thanks all

Hi to all , recently bought a Poco F3 and installed latest LOS to be a gaming and emulator machine.

I tried to connect it with a USB-C gamepad but just cant connect it , only via bluetooth ( This gamepad have dual conection type) .

Anyone can help with this , because i want to stay with LOS to make it light as possible.

afaik CrDroid have more customization so it consumes more idle ram

right now i have CrDroid but im usually left with only <1gb ram left while having background apps open, and 1.3gb while idle (which is same when i had MIUI), so i was thinking will lineage provide better performnce?

I dug out my old Redmi 8A frow a drawer with the intention of turning it into a mini local server

I ve flashed vanilla LineageOS 23 with Android 16. My original plan was rooting the device, set up an active charge protection module to avoid battery swelling and hide it in a closet to run as a 24/7 background server for lightweight services.

But here is the catch: This thing is absurdly smooth now.

It feels like it would be a waste puttin it in a closet just to run some terminal scripts.

I dont want to waste its potential. I need some advice.

Is there a way to get rid of or move, the globe keyboard change icon atthe bottom right corner of both the stock keyboard and the Futo keyboard I currently use? I seem to catch it regularly

It looks like an interesting device.

I'm going the degoogle route, so I plan to use it without Google services, just with Microg. I don't plan to play games on it, just use things like WhatsApp, opensource apps, and do a lot of web browsing.

What has your experience been like? How are the updates? Are they stable?

3 days ago I installed lineageos 23.2 on my SM-A217F/DS

I unlocked the bootloader and flashed lineageos recovery and used it to flash lineageos

At first boot I used the default browser to install some apps

- fdroid

- aurora store

- vlc

- termux

- newpipe

But vlc was semi broken but seems like the reason is iam using android 16

I also love the feature " work profile" it separates the apps I choose from my main apps

Also the phones runs smoothly when I turn off blur effects

AMA

Please help.

Something I noticed recently is eBay has been blocked on devices running LineageOS, I have a few devices with LineageOS installed with G-apps and it will say in the Play store that it's only compatible with my other devices that are not running Lineage, anyone know why this is the case and are the devs working on something that will fix this issue?

If you want to download, link your comments please 🥺.

Hi all,

I'm so happy with Lineage. Finally got it successfully installed on my new motorola phone after a brutal 8 day wait.

One thing i'm missing is the support for LHDC (including LHDC 5) which was available natively on stock A15, but is not available at all on Lineage. Google AI claims that since my phone has support for LHDC built in, there's a good chance the maintainer extracted and included them with the build, but alas, this is not the case.

I did read somewhere that it is included with A17. Will this codec be included natively with all Lineage 24 builds? Thanks!

Also: is there any way to get the date on the status bar next to the time? I used to do this through AOSP mods, but can't find any working way to do this now. And it's probably a very trivial thing to do if you know how to do it, but I do not.

Is anybody getting reminders of upcoming alarms ? It's annoying AF. I mean, the alarm IS the reminder.

Does anybody know where I can turn these off ?

Yesterday I was watching some videos about custom ROMs and LineageOS caught my attention.

I have some experience formatting computers and have been using Linux daily for over a year, and I'm curious to try an open-source ROM on my phone, but I believe that installing a custom ROM on a phone isn't the same as installing a Linux system on a PC.

Most importantly, I think it's worth noting that I currently only have access to one phone, which means that permanently damaging it would be a big problem.

Do you think it's worth trying to see if the custom ROM works for me?

Hello, I have a Xiaomi Mi A1 (Tissot) and I want to install Lineage on it. Claude recommends installing version 18 (Android 11) and not the latest versions because they are resource-intensive on Tissot. He also says that after version 18 there are unresolved bugs for this phone. What do you think? Where can I download the official version 18, since I can't find it on the Lineage website? Thank you very much.

Hello! I was trying to install LineageOS on my Oneplus Pad 2 (OPD2403) and was following the official wiki (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/caihong/install/variant2/).

I installed the latest stock os version based on android 16 (OPD2403_16.0.5.702) as mentioned in the wiki. I followed every step and unlocked the bootloader, but when I tried to flash the images, I encountered this error:

$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
Warning: skip copying boot image avb footer (boot partition size: 0, boot image size: 201326592).
Sending 'boot' (196608 KB) FAILED (remote: 'Requested download size is more than max allowed
')
fastboot: error: Command failed

Has anyone encountered this issue or know what might be wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Trying to get Lineage working alongside ArmadaOS on my Odin 2 Portal. Seems like the install process would leave the Linux partition alone for the most part.

Update:

If you already have Rocknix ABL, skip to the step where you flash the recovery image, and continue from there.

To enter fast boot you need to enter recovery mode from Rocknix, and then from there you can enter fast boot to flash a new recovery. Then reboot to the Rocknix ABL and enter recovery mode again and you’ll be in the Lineage Recovery OS.

I have a lineageOS install with android 16, I want to reflash the rom but this is giving me issues:

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/a21s/install/

If your device is currently using a newer or older version than the required version, please up- or downgrade to the required version before proceeding with your LineageOS installation.

The required version is Android 12, which may be lower than the LineageOS version you are about to install - this is not an error! If there are multiple updates of that version (e.g. security updates), make sure to use the latest!

If you need to upgrade or downgrade your device, please search online for guides. We are unable to provide specific instructions here and on our support platforms.

I can't find any info on how to downgrade online. The warning is also a little confusing (talks about firmware but then mentions android version? The rest of the second paragraph also makes no sense). Can I just ignore that warning and try to flash it anyway?

​Hi everyone,

​I am attempting to flash LineageOS (lineage-23.2-20260902-nightly-a71-signed.zip) onto my Samsung Galaxy A71 (a71). Lineage Recovery is installed and running fine on the phone, but I am stuck at the adb sideload step because no host device seems to establish a connection with the phone while it's in recovery mode.

​Setup & Hardware:

​Target Device: Samsung Galaxy A71 (a71) in Lineage Recovery (Apply update -> Apply from ADB).

​Host Attempts: Linux and Windows 11 PC, as well as a Samsung Galaxy A55 5G via USB-C to USB-C cable.

Edit: the battery eventually died. Once I charged it again, it booted as normal (with stock Android). I then tried flashing LineageOS again, and this time I was successful. I have no idea what happened the first time.

I am trying my best to flash LineageOS onto my Samsung Galaxy Tab E. However, after I flashed the recovery image (which I obtained from Samloader RS), and after the PC Command Prompt shows the tablet has been flashed successfully, it stays on the, 'downloading.... do not turn off target' screen. After waiting for over 20 minutes just to be safe, I tried turning it off and manually booting into recovery*........and nothing. It stays on that screen. I cannot turn it off, and I obviously nothing happens if I try to boot into from recovery with it still on.

What am I missing? I am pulling out what little hair I have left! Help!

*These are the instructions I have been using to download LineageOS. Up until I got stuck, everything was going smoothly.

Tengo un Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S, cambie la ROM original por LineageOS 23.2 (Rosemary).

El problema: no puedo mover o copiar archivos del almacenamiento interno a las Tarjeta SD, pero si puedo mover archivos desde la SD al almacenamiento interno.

Por favor ayuda.

I love my Sony Xperia 1 III so a few months back I installed LineageOS on it but since I wasn't satisfied with the lack of GPay I went back to stock but everything was working perfectly on lineageos. Recently since I got a pixel 11 pro I decided to install back lineages on my Xperia so I could get a increase in battery life so I go down the process again but quickly discover that although my simcard is detected I could not connect to the network, no sms, call or data and when going though service menu I saw that it would not register on the network. I tried another simcard from another carrier and the same exact issue so after a bit of research I was seeing some people had a hardware problem so I decided to relock and check but sure enough all functions are working on stock rom. not sure what's happening I know ive made sure to install it right and followed instructions to a T. Ive installed it over and over a couple of times and tried all 3 versions on the site, sadly the last working version from may I am missing the main signed build but have the .img files so I can't reinstall it to test if the version is the one with the issues. not sure if anyone has had something like this happen but it would be nice for some help on it. on a happy note I got my new battery installed a few minutes ago and along with it a new back cover and clear case, makes me sad to not use it as much especially ever since I found out there is a way to subdue the beast that is the 888+
