@Adrian DC
Thanks for your excellent work and support. Happy New Year.
Use packages for ARM, Android 7.x, Micro or Pico

Is there any reason why you recommend the micro/pico packages? I am thinking to flash the stock package and I see that replaces a lot of stock/AOSP apps. Will that cause any problems with the ROM? Thanks in advance.

System partition is not big enough on older devices to support ROM and full gapps packages.
Pointless anyways as most apps can be added from the Play Store.

Hi Adrian,
happy new year! I see you can't wait until new year to release the LineageOS for our Xperia SP, that's crazy Thank you, again!
One thing I could find in your first post: In future the root access will be removed from LineageOS? Yes, I know you write
information will be given later, but I'm nosy.. Any reason for this change by you or LineageOS?

thank you. Happy new year

Still cannot access sd card location at the file manager app?

Yes, same for me here regarding the CM/Lineage file manager. If I use for example the Totalcommander it's no problem to use the SD-card.

but since the app is already included in the rom, and I don't want another app taking some precious storage. Still can manage to access the sd card's file through the settings menu. But better if the sd card's access is fixed at the app itself.

I have exact the same intention, but I can't fix it by myself. So I have to wait if most likely Adrian have time to fix it. My expectation is, due to the shift from CM to LineageOS he is busy with more important tasks. So my idea is just a temporary solution, until the standard file manager app is fixed.

just a workaround not a solution, you can access SD card's files from settings then Storage and then press the SD card name/icon and try to avoid pressing the eject button ofc

Thanks a Lot for this Rom @Adrian DC
I'm having issue with offline charging.
when i unplug the charger, it shows the battery percentage and hang in there.
pressing power on/off key do nothing.
have to press emergency power off button or,
press and hold volumeUP and Power on/off button until phone vibrates.
Is there permanent fix for this?

I'm pretty sure that in the builds a months before the end of CM13, there was the old charging animation, the colored one. Back then, everything worked find.
When I flashed the last snapshot of CM13, I got the black and white charging animation and since then, the bug has occured.
I hope this makes it easier to find out which commit caused this regression.

Just a little feedback after testing on Kaosfroyo. I tested the reboot, reboot to recovery and unlock with menu functions and all worked multiple times. Sorry I haven't tested the rest. If there is anything specific let me know.

w00t... thanks JCASE

Double post. wahhwahh.

Says the trial has ended and to go to the chat. Can't get there for some reason. Any idea when this will be back up? It worked great on EE 3.0

try new version, extended to august first.

I like this app because you can use it in astro and estrongs to write in the system partition.

Do you by chance have any other security or anti virus software on the phone? Just a thought.

Nope, only thing different from when I installed your previous versions is that I used the a2sd script by darktremor with the eekernel fix. Not sure what that would change because I have installed other manually downloaded apps since then.

Ok, I'm a freakin retard. I forgot to uninstall the previous version.
nothing to see here, move along, move along
Sorry jcase

btw, wheres my shoutout for testing remote brick option?

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8.1 (Oreo), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.

Important
If you are using this ROM first time, wipe data. Wipe data completely. I mean the option where you need to enter "yes". Use this option and then flash the rom.
This ROM only works with the TWRP I added.
If you want to use GAPPS, flash it directly after flashing ROM. Don't let the ROM boot. Otherwise your device will not get certification, so you will not have Google Access.
Instructions (thx @matshias, just changed few lines to get ROM flashing working)
Put your ROM (and GApps) onto your sdcard (sdcard must be exfat or fat32, NTFS not supported)
Install fastboot and adb on your PC, e.g. from here
Enable developer options and in there select to unlock your bootloader by enabling OEM unlock and enable USB debugging
Connect your PC to your tablet and run
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
using adb on command line. The tablet will reboot into bootloader mode where you will only see the Lenovo logo. Now you use
Code:
fastboot oem unlock-go
to unlock. This will factory reset your device
Don't setup, cause you will need to format your tablet later again. Shutdown tablet. Hold volume up and power button to start to bootloader
Then run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-<your-filename>.img
to flash TWRP
Select with volume buttons "Recovery Mode" and press power button
Select to write to system, otherwise you can't flash ROM
Backup at least system and boot partitions to your sdcard cause you will wipe data in next step. Choose "System Image" for the system partition backup.
Format data using this tutorial
Flash ROM
Optionally flash SuperSU or Magisk in TWRP which should install system less. Keep OEM unlock enabled if you flash or modify anything

Please don't support Lenovo and buy their tablets
Code:
[I]Updates vary depending on the model where our tablets receive Android and security updates after the introduction.
We announced Tab 4 10 Plus in February 2017 and since then it has received seven OTA updates.
However, this model has reached the end of its update cycle and will not receive any more updates in the future.
- Lenovo (2018-05-11)[/I]
Just seven updates and not even one major upgrade, please don't support them.
Reporting bugs
Please tell what mods you are using and what tablet variant (TB-X704F or L or ABCDEFGH..)
If your tablet doesnt start:
go to TWRP. use file manager, go to sys/fs/pstore, copy the files and upload it here.
if your tablet starts and bug appears later:
go to TWRP. use file manager, go to sys/fs/pstore, copy the files
start your tablet normal, let the bug appear, enter adb root

The system itself runs very well. Also TWRP is very nice in landscape.
Maybe some notes after a short test phase, because your post is not so detailed yet.
Works:
- Encryption (forceencrypt is enabled)
- Clearly better audio quality than in Lineage 14.1 (Yener has already made me aware of my mistake)
- Significantly newer kernel (3.18.115 instead of 3.18.31)
Broken:
- Hall sensor
- selinux (for completeness only)
All in all very good rom. Thank you Yener!

Great work guys! I am waiting for the fingerprint to get fixed and then installing asap.

ROM loaded and running with no problems so far so thanks to @yener90, also thanks to @LumenReaper for starting the whole ball rolling. one thing I noticed is after doing Format data and wiping system, data and the caches i'm re-encrypted, it's not a major problem though, when i do another update in the future i'll format data again and see if encryption goes away

Thank you for doing this!!!
Thank you for working on this device!!! I thought the Tab 4 10 Plus I imported for Korea was never going to see another update after I read the news awhile back. I took the plunge and installed TWRP and rooted my device tonight. I can't wait to get Oreo or even Pie installed on my tablet in the future!

First off, very well done @yener90 and @LumenReaper, thank you.
Am I correct in thinking that if I flash this to my TB-X704V it should work except for the SIM functions ?
Also are Gapps included?
TIA

I'm not sure, if X704V works. Try to boot from the recovery, I uploaded, from your pc.
For this switch to bootloader mode and enter fastboot boot twrp.img
If you get on your screen an error like: no dtb found, than your device requires special fix.
Don't try it out then.

I'll certainly try that out later today and let you know.
EDIT:
Just tried it and booted to your TWRP just fine, nice landscape view BTW.
All appears OK, but while it "saw" the ext SD I couldn't explore it but I could the explore the internal SD.
Just one thing, when I went to exit by rebooting to system, it crashed and just hung there.

Thats normal. Install twrp and boot to recovery. There it will never freeze.
Try it out. Before you do copy your system files to your pc. Maybe for your device some files are required.

Just one more thing, as I said, does the ROM have Gapps already installed?

I'm thinking on buying this tablet, but I've heard that the 5ghz wifi has some dropouts. Have anyone test it out with this rom with iperf? (Wifi Speed Test app for example)
Also I'm interested to know what issues have been found with the fingerprint. (1 minute before the dev solved it)

What would you recommend instead?
I come from a CHUWI Hipad that was a complete disaster: really hard to even create a TWRP
I've been looking for other alternatives and essentially we have:
Huawei and Kirin: 0% development with closed Kirin processors
Samsung/LG/Asus/Xiaomi: The cheapest with 3Gb goes for over $250 (there aren't many brands with cheap tablets in fact)
Chuwi, Teclast, ... all are **** brands with Mediatek processors that are even worse than Kirin for dev purposes.
So essentially for under $200 with 3Gb+ RAM there is only one Snapdragon tablet called Lenovo Tab4 10 Plus
But the only issue I've found so far reading reviews are the dropouts with 5Ghz WIFI AC band.

Hehehe I also had a Chuwi Tablet and was a disaster . 5GHz was solved with latest update.
Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Plus sounds nice for me. Xiaomi also has a much better support. It came out after my Lenovo Tablet. If that would be available than, I would buy Xiaomi.

Thanks for this. Great job.
Can we have R/W system? AdAway freezes when trying to overwrite system hosts file. Basically I would be happy with your first release supporting hosts file linked to other path either even without fingerprint or camera support.

Yeah, I like Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Plus, the problem is that the cheapest in my country is for $400, if I buy in Aliexpress it goes for nearly $300... and I found this tablet for just $180 (half the price!) in Amazon
I understand that most brand OS support is **** (including Samsung), and I definitely have a Xiaomi Pocophone F1 because they have a really great support not only in ROM dev, but good prices for replacements (screens and all that).
But If they have solved the 5Ghz issue, then I believe that we should even try in the future to go for official Lineage 16 as they did on the oldie Yoga Tab 3 Plus

Use this ROM at your own risk! It comes without any warranty! I'm not responsible for any damage! If you don't agree with that, don't try to flash this ROM in any way.
Benefits:
Added Aurora-Store, F-Droid and UnifiedNLP! If you don't want this, simply de-install it.
I've set maximum speaker volume to a higher value.
I've increased microphone gain.
I've changed the microfone gain to avoid echo in phone calls.
Changelog
Troubleshooting:
If you're running into an error, please search in this thread if this error is already posted, before you post it again!
If not, I need a LOG to see what went wrong. Without a LOG I can't help you!
A LOG can be fetched by connecting the device with an USB cable to your PC and then by typing these commands line by line:
Code:
adb root
adb shell logcat -b all -d > logcat
Send my this LOG file via PM.
If you think this could be a SELinux related issue, please try to set the device to permissive mode first.
If the issue is gone, I need the policy file too (plus LOG). Fetch it by typing this line in a terminal:
Code:
adb pull /sys/fs/selinux/policy
If you stuck in a bootloop you can fetch a LOG with this trick:
Press the power button and the volume up button together until the device shuts down.
HOLD the power button.
Release the volume up button and press the volume down button immediately after releasing the volmue up button.
The device should start into TWRP recovery.
Tap on "Advanced", then on "Terminal" and enter these commands line by line:
Code:
cd sys/fs/pstore
cp * /sdcard
Send me the copied file(s), if any, via PM.
One last request:
Please, do not ask about problems for which my ROM is not responsible.
From now on I will only react to problems that I can reproduce and that are caused by my ROM.
I'm sorry for that, but I'm developing this ROM in my spare time and I still have a normal life.

If you want to remove apps, that are available in much better variants (or that you don't need ), enter these lines one by one in a terminal:
Code:
adb root
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /
rm -rf /system/product/app/Email
rm -rf /system/product/app/Exchange2
rm -rf /system/product/app/Jelly
rm -rf /system/product/app/Recorder
rm /system/product/priv-app/Eleven/Eleven.apk
rm /system/system_ext/priv-app/Gallery2/Gallery2.apk
"Email" is the built-in E-Mail app, I've replaced it with K-9 Mail
"Jelly" is the built-in browser, I've replaced it with Firefox
"Eleven" is the built-in music-app, I've replaced it with poweramp
"Gallery2" is the built-in picture gallery, I've replaced it with simple gallery pro
Don't forget to reboot!

Hello,
Thanks for updating the ROM!
The performance is about the same (maybe a bit faster), and everything works OK.
However hotspot is still not working for me.

Oh, I'm sorry, I haven't answered your post in the los18 thread.
I'll take a look at it asap.

I'm using this ROM since some hours now and I have to say, that it's working very good. Better that expected. The device is not getting warm (or hot) and the battery comsumption is very low.
I'll take a closer look at this for some days now.
If the overall performance is convincing, I will delete the "BETA" status...

Is the "Recent Apps" button in the nav bar working?
I just installed this rom, but that button is not working.
Maybe app switcher is missing.

@litelinux Thank you for the answer.
I had installed NikGapps full version. It seems that some gapps made that trouble. With NikGapps core, I can use "Recent Apps" button.
But, even NikGapps core version seems to cause unexpected reboots if micro SD card is set as phone storage(adopted storage), not potable storage.
And, is it normal that the fingerprint reader works when the screen is off?

Hello,
Animations are not as smooth as in Android 10, such as:
Opening/closing recents
Notification panel
Background grayout of popup boxes
Horizontal scrolling
Not sure what the problem is...
Sorry for repeating this but I really hope it would be solved.

I can't confirm that at my device.

Maybe because it's still in development state? At my device, for example, the fingerprint reader is not working when the device had been in deep sleep mode for a longer time. Then I have to unlock it by using the "normal" swipe...

Hello,
Thanks for the ROM,
I installed this version, it works fine at the moment.
Indeed, the photo lag application but by installing open camera it's OK.
On the other hand, the resolution of the camera is at the maximum at 8.3MP.
You also have this resolution blocked?
With lineage OS 14 I was at 23MP

Thanks. I've already seen that there have been made changes in that files. But unfortunately there have been made so much changes that a simple cherry-pick is not possible! I've tried to manually change these files and I'm hoping, it works.
I will report....

I've blocked nothing! AFAIK the maximum resolution of the built-in sensor is 8,3MP and the resolution of 23MP is realized by software upscaling. Try to take a photo of the same object with 8,3MP and 23MP and compare them. I for myself have never seen any difference.
So, for me 8,3MP is fine..

Bummer. I was hoping root install for F-Droid would be fix by now.

You're right! I haven't tested if the so called "FDroidPrivilegedExtension" can be used in this version. I'll try it next.
Is that what you're meaning?

Make sure you really deleted this part in manifest.xml in vendor partition. For my test result, it solved the doze issue.
Or wait for next build.

hehe, LOS 18.1 for this device, good news
@Sjll: Is it possible the include the signature spoofing patch (to be able to use microG) in your new build ?
That would be great since there is no opportunity to patch this from 'outside' afaik ...
Thanks in advance

rom says "Sony Xperia XZ Dual!"....be caution.
This mean, rom will change your phone model number from F8331 to F8332!
just in case , during first clean installation get your twrp backup for your f8331 rom.
if you want to get back old stock rom f8331, you will need your backup to turn your phone model back from f8332 to f8331.

alright, thanks mate, that should be no prob at all

* Double tap to sleep/wake don't work
** When turning on the phone from a long sleep, the touchscreen won't work or frozen, you need to press the power button for the phone to sleep then press again to turn it on for the screen to work. (I thought at first it's on the gestures that are not working but after several times of occurrence I notice that it's not responding to any touch, you have to turn off the screen and turn it on again for the touch to function)
* Sometimes you cant pick USB Preferences when connecting to a computer, but restarting the phone can fix the problem.
** Heating issue.---------------------------
USB OTG: Ok - works fine.
USB Tethering: Ok - works fine.
The data signal is better than stock. (in my experience)

Hi @Sjll will this rom work for the Xperia XZs?

in the following conditions, the device will reboot
sometimes in camera, but the built-in gcam go is working fine for me.
the flashlight is turned on
sometimes while unlocking the device through the fingerprint sensor
IDK why but while launching the "mi home" app
and there are some issues in the following
sometimes especially after a long time of not using the device, the screen will freeze after it was turned on. it's the same whether it has the fingerprint unlock activated or not. after it was unlocked through the fingerprint and go into the home screen, it's not responding to any gestures. it happens more frequently than lineage os 16.
for some reason, it can't pair with my wireless headphone, and it says "system UI not responding". and I press "stop" and the screen goes black and it reboots.
the speaker and microphone are not functioning well during the "phone call" on the "local" hardware. I also encountered this issue when at lineage os 16. when I was in lineage os 16, my solution is connected to a wireless headphone, and it solved the problem. but since I can't connect to a wireless headphone currently, I can't figure out any solution and I can't make any phone calls. to be specific, when I am calling others, I can hear their sound, but they can't hear my sound. if I turn on the speaker mode, I will hear my own sound from my speaker with lots of noise.
and I am only a junior high student if any info I've given is wrong, I apologize.

[OFFICIAL] LineageOS 18.1 for the Moto Z2 Play

i had built this myself at home but never thought to publish it or make it official since i thought it was too much work.
so glad someone actually did publish an 18.1 rom for this phone so not everyone has to build it at home (especially since many cant).
great work as usual

What the hell, that's unexpected to say the least. I'm quite happy with AICP and don't feel like hopping but good to have choice.

I owned this phone for 4 years hoping it would get official Los. 2 months ago it got destroyed and now i see this.

Flash, bang, mind the gapps - and here comes Lineage! Really nice version, very light (but not poor), battery friendly. Moto actions, JBL mod and powerpack mod work fine, no unexpected behaviour so far (three days).
Thanks @marcost22 !

System encryption doesn't work. Phone won't boot after using the option.
Also how this ROM has built in google services? Without installing any GAPPS package there is already google play services, play store and google app installed out of the box.
Nevermind, I didn't format system between installations that's why gapps remained.

Notification LED working for anyone? It's enabled in options and I tried setting different values but doesn't seem to ever blink.

Newbie question here. I'm stuck at the step of flashing the lineage recovery img. Do I need TWRP installed first? Or does lineage-recovery replace that? It doesn't seem to be writing the recovery - or it is writing it super-quick - and I dont understand what the errors/info messages mean:
Code:
>fastboot flash recovery lineage-18.1-20220807-recovery-albus.img
(bootloader) is-logical:recovery: not found
Sending 'recovery' (16462 KB) OKAY [ 0.618s]
Writing 'recovery' (bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt
OKAY [ 0.154s]
Finished. Total time: 0.818s
I've tried booting into recovery after this, and nothing happens. When I hold volume up + power, I get into a bootloop of the yellow text warnings that I have an unlocked bootloader until I let go of either the volume or power, from which it will then boot into the regular OS.

Oh, never mind, it seems I can get to the Lineage recovery without turning off the device and instead using the volume keys from the fastboot menu to select "Recovery mode". And that appears to take me to LineageOS recovery. Not sure why I can't get there using the volume up + power.

Known issue? Capacitive buttons (back, home, recent) not working.
[Edit: This issue is resolved below - turns out the Z2 Play doesn't have those buttons!]
The built-in capacitive buttons on my Z2 Play don't respond and don't seem to be recognized. Is this a known issue? I've fiddled with button settings and gesture settings in both Trebuchet launcher and now in Nova launcher without success. I also tried installing Button Mapper (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton), but it does not recognize these button presses either. I'm using visible nav menu now instead, which is fine. But thought I'd check to make sure that this is a known issue?
Everything else seems to work great!

Notification LED working for anyone? It's enabled in options and I tried setting different values but doesn't seem to ever blink.

I'm not sure where the settings are for this? I don't seem to have much in my default LOS settings controlling the LED.
There is a white LED that turned on by default for me with LOS 18.1 out of the box when the phone was plugged in, but I found it too bright and annoying, and didn't see where to change the colours or brightness. And I don't see any settings to configure the LED for specific notifications either. So I just set it to stay off when plugged in. And that's it: that's the only setting I could find for LEDs?

Known issue? Capacitive buttons (back, home, recent) not working.
The built-in capacitive buttons on my Z2 Play don't respond and don't seem to be recognized. Is this a known issue? I've fiddled with button settings and gesture settings in both Trebuchet launcher and now in Nova launcher without success. I also tried installing Button Mapper (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton), but it does not recognize these button presses either. I'm using visible nav menu now instead, which is fine. But thought I'd check to make sure that this is a known issue?

I'm guessing that by capacitive buttons you are refering to the on-screen navigation? If so, when disabled can you navigate by using the fingerprint sensor?

I'm guessing it's the chinese variant? If so, then as long as you have the Pie firmware and latest twrp you should be fine

I mean the touch-sensitive, haptic "buttons" that are built into the Z2 phone. They sit below the bottom edge of the actual screen, to the left and right of the "home" fingerprint button. In the original default Android system, those buttons light up with white icons when they are available and they function as back and recent apps buttons, and they vibrate when touched. In this version of LOS 18.1, there are no buttons there. There is no haptic feedback or vibration when I touch those areas using LOS 18.1, and the system doesn't seem to be aware that they exist.
The fingerprint sensor works as a regular home button when I disable the onscreen buttons. But there is no back or recent app button, which makes it impossible to navigate the UI. So I have the onscreen buttons enabled. I note again that this functions OK for me, so it is not a deal breaker. But it would be better for me if those haptic (capacitive) buttons worked, because then I could disable the onscreen buttons and increase the usable space on screen. Does that make sense?

Moto Mod Compatibility - Quick Review - August 2022
I've been testing various Moto Mods under LOS 18.1 as I have time.
Functioning:
Moto Turbo Power Pack
Initial test: Seems to work fine!
Notes: There is no special battery icon or indicator that it is working, but you can go into the Battery or Moto Mod area to verify or configure.
JBL Soundboost 2 speaker
Initial test: seems to work great!
Notes: Don't try to use the equalizer settings in the JBL audio app - instead simply use the built-in AudioFX equalizer. You may need to open up the generic Moto Mods app for the speaker to be recognized. Drains battery from mod first as intended (before draining phone battery).
Insta-Share Projector
Initial test: Seems to work fine!
Not Working:
Per "Known Bugs" camera mods won't work:
360° Camera
Initial test: Mod recognized, but app won't run.
Unable to use with other apps.
Haselbad Camera
Initial test: Mod not recognized.
Camera will not power via power button when attached.
Tested with:
lineage-18.1-20220807-nightly-albus-signed
lineage-18.1-20220807-recovery-albus

My nor any Z2 play i know have such buttons; only the fingerprint sensor which in stock can double as the "one button" navigation system (via gestures); could you please send me a picture of how it looks like in your device?
