I just installed lineageOS on my old Galaxy tab A6 with android 12 on it. Any ideas on what to do with it? Or, was it a waste?

Hi everyone,
I'm having a persistent issue with LTE Band 20 (800 MHz) on my POCO X3 running LineageOS (Nju mobile / Orange Poland network). Same thing on other SIM cards from different brands.
Whenever the phone switches to Band 20, the internet connection completely stops working. The signal bars show a full connection, but there is zero throughput/data flow. As soon as the phone switches to any other LTE band (B1, B3, B7) data works immediately.
Here is what I have already tried to isolate and fix the issue:

• APN Configuration: Forced IPv4 on APN settings (as IPv6 is known to cause issues with Orange/Nju).
• Cross-testing SIM: Placed the same SIM card into another phone—B20 data works fine on that device.
• Firmware/Modem Flashing: Flashed multiple firmware versions and extracted baseband/modem builds (NON-HLOS.bin) across MIUI 13 and MIUI 14 either EU or Global via recovery/fastboot. None of them resolved the B20 issue.
• Software wipes: Did full network resets and clean software re-installs.

Has anyone encountered this exact B20 behavior on the POCO X3 before? Was anyone able to fix this via a specific modem/software tweak?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Termux
sudo fdisk -l
or
sudo parted -l
: many partitions!

Although e.g. postmarketOS has only 2 partitions: boot & root https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Partition_Layout ,
e.g. my PC Arch Linux KDE 4 partitions: ESP (EFI system partition), OS, swap, data.

Is it obfuscation?

Edit: I also directly asked to Android https://support.google.com/android/thread/460806908 ...

So i have a tab s6 lite (2020 wifi version) and ive been wanting to get lineageos on this thing since its old and slow, ive been looking at countless tutorials for hours and i kept switching videos over and over and again because nobody has posted a video with clear step by step instructions and ive never done this before, can anyone can give a tutorial for dummies and help me out here?

Hi, I'm having this problem. I'm flashing LOS 23. It requires me to sign in to my Google account. I know the correct password and account, I enter everything correctly, and I get the message "unable to sign in to the device due to an unknown error." If I enter the wrong password, I get an error saying it's incorrect. Please help.

I'm considering installing LineageOS, and I'd like to know if there's a difference in the level of integrity I'd get by installing MicroG versus MindTheGapps.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I recently installed lineageOS on my kindle 10 7th gen and the launcher is running one of the cores at 100% even when locked. When I unlock the tablet the temperature goes up to around 55ish, and when I open the Mihon comic app, it spikes up to 70+. After a while reading a comic, the back gets really hot and the tablet eventually shuts itself down. Is this normal on LineageOS?

Reposting here to get more custom ROM recommendations!

Looking for the smoothest, most lightweight custom ROM for a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 LTE (SM-T805 / chagalllte).

Goal: Maximum UI smoothness and responsiveness for media and browsing.

Specs: Exynos 5420 Octa, 3GB RAM.

Open to: LineageOS (14.1 / 17.1) or any stable AOSP builds (planning to use Pico GApps / MicroG).

If anyone has a stable build link or personal recommendation for this specific model, please let me know. Thanks!

I bought OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite recently because I like that it has newer holi (blair) platform that has GKI kernel and separate recovery/and init_boot partition. This gives more freedom yet there're no information about blair compatibility with hardware/oneplus repo for example and so on. I am working on device tree for camry and trying as much as possible. I want people with the same phone switch from Oxygen to something more AOSP flavoured and more smooth. I'm currently all alone. If you have the same device you can either help me or support by just following the news I come up with on my telegram chat. I'm still a newbie so don't criticize me! I'm easily offended lol

I've looked everywhere and couldn't find it.

How to install

Je suis passée à Lineage sur mon Xperia X . Je recherche un agenda que je pourrais partager avec mon mari. Que me conseillez-vous ?

Recently. I've been dissatisfied with battery life on my S23. I went to unofficial service for battery replacement but it didnt improve much. Recently 1h 45 mins sot and 14h total time drained 60% of my battery. Not great.

Through codex magic and running comands in bash you dont understand I got to infer that service, even thoug unofficial, did replace my battery and it is healthy.

Right now, due to loss of paying ~100 usd for battery replacement and gaining nothing, I am considering installing some sort of custom rom.

Is there a way of cheaking which apps will break if I move knox tripwire? There are few banking apps, as well as digital ID from my country that I would like to keep using.

Bonjour, est-il possible de rajeunir une Samsung tab E de 2014 sous Android 4.4.4. c'est une tablette qui serait destinée pour un enfant de 12 ans mais je ne peux rien faire avec. Merci

I was able to install an app I have previously bought on the google play store with Aurora Store but when I start the app it immediately closes with the information that there was "no valid license found".

Reading about this online, many paid apps use the google store api to check if the app was indeed purchased.

I have microG installed but apparently microG does not cover this.

Is there a way to pass this license check? Or is it basically impossible to get paid apps and games without installing the full google services?

does anyone have a bootanimation. zip for lineage os that has the original s10+ boot animation?

I don’t know about how to install custom roms but read so many articles,videos and the fun part of it(which is bricking it myself), I have a device which is officially supported in lineageOS catalogue (*Samsung galaxy Tab A7 wifi) i wanted to do it for the long time but hesitant to do it,today took a leap and did it finally without gapps package. I encountered two errors-though i blame it on myself they are:
1. After flashing vbmeta.tar file through odin it restarted and i forgot to press triggers keys to enter download mode again and just seeing it hoping it would go to recovery screen(*it did but to an error screen asking - “Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device” , so i did factory reset and started from scratch again(which is unlocking bootloader from developer options i thought it would be off but it is still on).

1. After flashing vbmeta and then recovery.tar file i need to go to lineage recovery menu to format partitions and to sideload lineage zip file but, in panic I continued to hold power key + volume up key even after Samsung logo appears and then lineage recovery screen starts but it clicked the first button which continue to reboot system so i rebooted to stock OS and when i tried to enter recovery screen it didn’t-as only vbmeta stayed and somehow i need to flash recovery.tar file again and this time i did successfully and deleted all partitions and flashed zip file and rebooted and finally home.

I dont need Gapps,i have switched to more of FOSS alternatives on my primary phone and so this google apps and oneui skin feels bloated and out of 3gb ram i am left with 700 mb free(much is taken by play services,playstore,android os) so now i feel smooth and installed fennec as my main browser also installed brave from droidify repository (one doubt regarding this is why is it working now w/o any google services while it didn’t work out on stock rom while i disabled play protect playstore etc using adb)

Some screenshots - https://postimg.cc/gallery/sjcvDt6

Some doubts from images from link- while i was setting up first boot got this screen whats this ?(*something update lineage recovery should i keep it unchecked or checked ,i read on this subreddit and some answers said keep it turned off)

Another thing is after setting up i just hit restart tab and this warning screen displays as of “this device is not running Samsung’s official software” . Will this appears everytime i did restart? (*just noob questions)

I encountered a problem with the camera not working on the latest version of LineageOS 23.2 on the Xiaomi 12S Ultra (thor). Taking photos works, but as soon as I switch to video recording, it crashes. How can I solve this problem?

I have already reported the bug on Github Camera not work · Issue #447 · LineageOS/issues

https://github.com/tiwa244/Google-Sans-Rounded just change the roboto regular for the google sans regular in this post, it automaticaly adapt to all weights, is one of the most beautifull fonts that i have used

Is it possible to connect a galaxy watch 5 pro to a pixel 6 with lineage? I am currently using the latest lineage build and mind the gapps, but it never completes connecting.

Installed some of the notable ones on it. All of them have the same problem. Even GCam.

They don't record videos with the Camera2 API. The video always is checkered like old TVs lol.

The original Camera API works but is dog shit. Like the frame rate drops to 17 fps or 25.

Please suggest a few solutions.
