Hi,
I've installed the Xposed framework and installer.
I've installed several modules (in order to change IMEI) but I failed activating each one !
A text box shows "cannot write /data/user_de/0/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/modulese.listjava.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/user_de/0/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/modules.list(No such file or directory)" and even if the box is checked, the module doesn't work...
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S5 (klte). I's rooted by Supersu and recovery is TWRP. I recently updated my ROM to lineageOS 14.1 (18/10/17) but with an oldest version of that ROM it was fine.
What can I do to fix that issue ?
Tx
The same thing happens to me with the xposed version 87, any solution?
I think the issue is a rights problem.
I used a microSD card to extend the memory and the app could not write correctly in the extended memory to activate the module.
To fix it, I reinstalled the ROM without the microSD and now it's fine. After that, I put the microSD but I didn't merge it with the stock memory.
Guess it will help you
This is an unofficial build of LineageOS 16.0 for the Motorola razr I, (XT890/SMI).
Lots of thanks to Hazou. This rom is based on his los-14 rom and I got help from him with los-16.
This rom has full hardware support and should run stable. It has been tested by me in daily use. I'm using the rom without google apps, but with microg. Installing google apps requires some apps to move to data partition because of limited system size. See install description for more info.
Special Features
-All features of Hazous 14.1 rom
-MicroG signature spoofing patch is included.
-Adaptive icons can be disabled in homescreen settings.
I can include more features if requested
Known Bugs
-The camera preview image sometimes shakes at random

Update
If you already run an earlier version of this rom, just boot to twrp and install the latest flashable zip file
Install
1. Backup everything you don't want to loose.
2. Download and install TWRP 3.2.3 (download in attachments. Can be flashed with fastboot or with another recovery)
3. If you come from another rom do a full wipe with twrp
4. Download and install the rom flashable zip (download from mega.nz link is in section download)
5. If you want to install opengapps or need system partition space for other things. Install the move_to_data.zip file from the attachments. This will move the Webview and the LatinIME app to data partition.
6. Choose one of the following options:
-either install google apps (download form https://opengapps.org/. Choose x86 9.0 nano or pico)
-or install MicroG (can be installed with the unofficial installer https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/microg-unofficial-installer-t3432360) this is lighter in ram and cpu usage but you will get problems with google chrome and other apps
7. If you want root access install the addonsu-16.0-x86.zip (download in the attachments)
8. Reboot the phone. First reboot will take some time

DATA Encryption
If you want to enable data encryption this would break the pds partition backup. To prevent this, the cache partition can be used as backup location:
-edit /system/bin/pdsbackup.sh
-change PDS_FILE=/data/misc/pds/pdsdata.img to PDS_FILE=/cache/misc/pds/pdsdata.img
-resize data partition in TWRP:
Code:
umount /data
umount /sdcard
e2fsck -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p17
resize2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p17 1367079
-reboot the phone

This if I did not expect it, I'll try to see how it goes. Thank you.
Download links and install description are up now. Download from mega.nz because xda download section is broken at the moment. I'm waiting for your test reports
It's really great works, thank you!!
I quickly tried and found several points.
- USB connection with PC
All USB connection option including File Transfer, USB tethering, PTP are grayed out.
Disabling/Enabling android debug in setting didn't work.
- Wifi with storage encryption
When you enable storage encryption, WiFi always become disabled, not be able to enable.
Just FYI, it required deleting /system/bin/pdsbackup.sh AND reducing partition size of 'data' (/dev/block/mmcblk0p17).
- SElinux
Although it is designated as permissive in device.mk, it's actually worked as "disabled".
I'm not sure it's related or not, however, when building "user build", it's failed with "ERROR: permissive domains not allowed in user builds".
I know "user build" is not officially supported in Lineage release, however, it's really helpful if we can do it for AFW usage.
Previously I could use Lineage 14.1 smi build for AFW and safetynet app with user build.
BTW, performance is really great, seems to be almost same as Lineage 11.

I also noticed that. Will see how this can be fixed. It is just a problem with the option dialog. Usb connection works fine. As a workaround you can set a default USB configuration in developer options

I think lineage trust doesn't differentiate between permissive and disabled. Selinux support is planned for future releases
Thank you for quick check.
Regarding USB connection, I also confirmed that Ubuntu can recognize as external storage with above option, besides Windows still does not recognize. Maybe depending on my environment.
Also I noticed that Chrome, Chrome Beta and Chrome Canary (therefore another Chrome based apps such as Maps Go) always crash. This is also maybe my environment only, though. BTW, I could install MicroG, besides couldn't install OpenGapps 9.0 pico due to partition size limit.
Additionally, I couldn't find any LED settings, currently LED is always off during charge or any notification.

Notification Led should work. Can be configured under settings->apps and notifications->notifications->notification light. I don't know what happened with the battery light. It will hopefully come back if I upgrade the driver to hidl.
Google Chrome is a known problem with MicroG. It requires official gapps. I will check if some of the unprivileged lineage apps can be moved to data partition to make place for google apps
Newbie question
Hi all, I know someone who's selling her old RAZR i XT890 and I'm interested (for experimental reasons but also the oddity that it's Intel powered). I've never owned a RAZR i so I've got some questions:
-The phone is from 2012 so quite old and has 1GB RAM, does it work well with this Lineage 16? Because usually newer software would perform bad on older SoC (I used to have iOS 7 on iPhone 4 back in the day and it was painfully slow compared to 6).
-On Lineage 16, can it run any Android app as a standard new Android Pie phone? I ask because this is an Intel x86 CPU, so can it still run Android apps as normal or are most of them only designed for ARM and therefore unusable?
If I get the good news, I may buy the phone and try this Lineage OS custom ROM.
Regarding LED, maybe it became working after modifying some option of notification light. Battery connection light is still always off.
Regarding opengapps, I moved webview and LatinIME from app directory to external SD in TWRP, then installed as normal app after system boot. Webview worked fine besides LatinIME always crash. I'm using different IME, so it's no problem. With this environment, opengapps nano can be installed, then Chrome, Maps and other google apps worked.

That's good. Than we can make a flashable zip to automatically move and symlink them to data partition.
I will provide a new build till end of the week with improved usb and notification LED implementation. I already got it working in my local setup

Newer android versions have been designed while keeping low ram devices in mind. Ram hungry special features like the picture in picture mode are excluded from builds for older device. So the situation is much better then on iOS. But a newer phone would run better thought.
Most android apps are available for x86. But some are still arm only and get automatically emulated. The intel houdini emulator integrates these apps natively into the system but they are a bit slower then x86 apps. These are for example Skype and a few unity based games

Thanks for the response. So I should be alright with it then, hopefully. I just hope it won't lag on that old SoC. I'd love if you could upload a quick video of it in action.

Yes, system partition size is limited on this phone. To install GApps some files need to be moved to data partition.
I created a flashable zip to automate this process. Take a look at the modified install description in the first post

Alright, thanks. I bought my friend's RAZR i and I am planning to use it as a daily driver with this ROM (I'm a light user anyway), I can't thank you enough for making this LineageOS for such an old device. I wonder if such a recent Lineage has been developed for the 2011 Atrix, haven't seen one.
I have questions though, firstly I've never used a custom ROM before, can I simply follow the instructions on this thread to get it working, or is there anything that has to be done beforehand like rooting? Secondly, are any other OSs successfully booting on this x86 phone, as I can't find it on XDA? (it surprisingly hasn't gotten much attention as a hackable device like HTC HD2 or Nokia N900 got).

If the phone never had a custom rom yet, you have to unlock the bootloader first. Description is in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928551

I'm not sure if I misunderstood but when you said "it required deleting....." and "reducing partition size of data", did you mean you can get WiFi to work if you do those things? I'm no expert at these but I can atleast apply the "fix" (if it really is) given that you guide me, if it's okay with you. Thanks!
Recently I've been having issues with my Xperia Z (C6603), the device is crashing (hard reboot), but only with certain apps/app versions.
The apps that always crash the device are:
- Firefox Focus (org.mozilla.focus): 8.0.25 works, anything recent doesn't
- Firefox Preview (org.mozilla.fenix): 2.2.0 works, anything recent doesn't
- Reddit (com.reddit.frontpage) (never had an older version than current)
Things I've tried:
- Official Lineage 15.1 2020-02-21:
-- Device crashes
- Unofficial Lineage 16.0 2019-10-20; Phone wiped with only GApps Micro installed:
-- Device crashes
- Stock 5.1.1 10.7.A.0.228; Phone wiped, bootloader locked:
-- Works fine, the apps do not crash the device
- I've looked at logcat but don't see any errors, it just starts the activity and then shuts down. I am not an expert on debugging however...
- From what I've seen, any other app (~157 user apps installed) works perfectly fine
Is anyone else experiencing this (with specific apps) and do you know if any of the recent unofficial LineageOS 16 ROMs don't have this problem?
What other steps could I take to pin down this problem?
I prefer to run an official Lineage ROM, or at least something recent that is built in a transparent way.
Thanks in advance ?
I instale the ( Lineage os 17.1.20200415 and Gapps) on my S8+ . All ok ,Thanks to the developer . The only problem is with Android Auto and the usb connection in Lineage software... maybe authorities usb choice is not to file tranfer...
In S8+ with original samsung os "android 9" the application android auto with same version as above function very well.
I think the problem is the way that lineage manage the usb connection with Android Auto!!!
When Android Auto strat in the infotainment the phone usb force (goes) to "without file transfer" and the connection stops
Any help

I observe the same behavior when connecting the old Samsung S5 Neo running LOS 17.1 to the HU. The USB connection type switches to "no data transfer" just when plugged to HU's USB port regardless of the type it was set to before. But it does not matter, it connects to HU anyway.
But I still cannot use it as it disconnects from HU some time after. I guess it is not related to the USB connection type as it keeps connection for some time (from couple of seconds to 1 or 2 minutes) before it disconnects from HU.
Me too. I have Redmi Note 7 and lineage 17.1 with gapps (nano i stock tested) and app shows that accessory is not supported and car display shows that application quit unexpectedly. Mayby some google service is broken/uninstalled? I tested also on PixelExperience ROM and it works fine.
also, have moto g6 plus and do the same behaviour... on stock rom andorid auto works great, in pixel experience also work great, just lineage send mi the "device not compatible" popup. does anyone had a work around or do i need to reflash another rom. thanks in advance for your comments.
Me too.
My wife’s stock pixel 4, no problem.
My Samsung A5 2017 when it had stock ROM, no problem.

Yes, I can confirm that. The latest GApps that works to me with AA on LOS 17.1 is the 20201201 one. All the newest versions I tried so far have the "No installed apps work with this USB accessory." issue.
Oooooh Yeah!
That fixed it! I re-flashed with open gapps 2020-12-01 and the truck picked it up right away.
In the truck, when I plugged it in, I pressed Android Auto on the display and it hung saying it was checking messages. Even after reconnecting the USB a few times. So on my dash I went to settings, AA, where all phones are listed and pressed mine to make it inactive, then again to make it active.
Then everything worked!
Thanks so much.
I have just installed LOS 17.1 on my Pixel 5", but with Microg rather than OpenGapps. Not downloaded AA just yet, and wondered if others have had issues with Microg?

I had absolutely no issues with LOS 17.1 and Android Auto together with my smart EQ, but now since April, after the Upgrade to LOS 18.1 I get exactly the same error output like you.
Is this problem Android 11 or OpenGApps related? I'm on the latest official OpenGApps test build from january since there is nothing newer available atm.

Hi, I am having the same issue with crDroid on Android 11 using gapps aroma and pico build from 2021-01-30. Are you able to provide one from December 2020 for Android 11? Or are you on Android 10? I don't see it here. Or do you know if another build works? I'm hoping to use open gapps aroma. Thanks for the help.
Hey guys I found a solution for those who can't get Android Auto to display on their car screen with Android 11 and gapps.
So after having issues with the gapps I tried MindTheGapps and Android Auto was working on there. I noticed that when I flashed the ROM Android Auto was installed already, but it was just a little stub app, only about 3 mb. So I decided to copy the folder containing the apk file and install it into a ROM with OpenGapps. The original file was placed in system/product/priv-app, so I copied it there using TWRP then rebooted. It did not work. So I uninstalled all the updates to AA and removed it then pasted it back in, and ended up in a bootloop. So finally I tried installing the stub app in /system/priv-app and rebooted. I then updated AA on the play store and it worked! So it seems that in order to get AA working you need this little stub app that must contain the necessary code to connect to your car. Note that AA will no longer show up in your launcher but you can download the "Android Auto for Phone Screen" app if you need to use it both on your car screen and on your phone in a car without an AA head unit. So the steps are as follows
Copy the attached apk file into a folder called AndroidAutoStubPrebuilt
Completely uninstall AA from your phone, both in user apps and system apps.
Boot into TWRP
Mount System in the "Mount" setting in TWRP
Copy the AndroidAutoStubPrebuilt folder containing the attached apk into system/priv-app/ (or your preferred folder but it needs to be in a system folder, I had a bootloop when I installed it into system/product/priv-app so if something like that happens try a different folder)
reboot your phone
install play store update for AA
set up AA on your phone
Connect to your car.
Enjoy.
Hopefully this fixes the issue for you guys as well. If it does, please let me know!
For reference I am using a US Moto G5 plus XT1687 (Potter) running CrDroid 7.5 with Open Gapps Aroma and Magisk.
This stub app comes from flashing the MindTheGapps package and is in no way my creation, I am simply sharing the apk from it for those who are using open gapps and can't get AA working. Thanks MTG, I couldn't have found this solution without it!

Hey guys I found a solution for those who can't get Android Auto to display on their car screen with Android 11 and gapps.
So after having issues with the gapps I tried MindTheGapps and Android Auto was working on there. I noticed that when I flashed the ROM Android Auto was installed already, but it was just a little stub app, only about 3 mb. So I decided to copy the folder containing the apk file and install it into a ROM with OpenGapps. The original file was placed in system/product/priv-app, so I copied it there using TWRP then rebooted. It did not work. So I uninstalled all the updates to AA and removed it then pasted it back in, and ended up in a bootloop. So finally I tried installing the stub app in /system/priv-app and rebooted. I then updated AA on the play store and it worked! So it seems that in order to get AA working you need this little stub app that must contain the necessary code to connect to your car. Note that AA will no longer show up in your launcher but you can download the "Android Auto for Phone Screen" app if you need to use it both on your car screen and on your phone in a car without an AA head unit.

Very Interesting! I hope that the OGApps team will take account of your important hint and that we'll find a fix in the next builds.
Thanks for sharing, we'll definitely include this (or something similar) in our next builds.

Brilliant!! This just did the trick with LOS 18.1 and opengapps 11 beta 20210130 on my XZ1 compact. I've been holding off on the update because of this. Thank you!!!

How can I uninstall the Android Auto from user apps and system apps?
Hello, I will try to cut it short.
As some of you may know you can link your phone to Windows 10 and control your phone screen from the Your Phone Companion app. I was using it with a custom rom called ''Hyper Rom'' But after installing a new custom rom I can't do it anymore. I can use the app to access my photos and notifications but can't control the screen
The new custom rom that I installed: (BLASTUI: [ROM] [R 11.0 ETLJ] BLASTUI ROM FOR G970F/G973F/G975F [STABLE] [ODEX] [V2.0] w/ THUNDERSTORM KERNEL | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com) )
I don't know what's the problem but I'm guessing the reason is ''Your Phone Companion'' app has been debloated from the phone so it's not a built-in system app anymore, I can't access it from phone settings, I have to download and use it from Google Play. I tried to put the yourphone_stub folder to system/priv-app, wiped cache and dalvik, After reboot it was there but could use it only after updating from google play (Still couldn't access it from phone settings if this information helps). And yes I still can't access my phone screen from Your Phone Companion app.
Sorry if my explaining is complex. Eng isn't my first lang. Thx
