    Tell Unihertz: Support the Jelly Max or let Lineage do it!

    cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/60123252

    Unihertz is one of the only phone manufacturers still making small phones. The Jelly Max is the only compact 5G Android phone on the market.

    BUT... Unihertz has a terrible track record when it comes to supporting their phones. Most OEMs issue Android and security updates for years. Unihertz phones often get less than 1 year of software/firmware support, including security updates. In a recent email to me, Unihertz confirmed, verbatim, "We don't update our phones very often. And we're not sure of the exact frequency of updates."

    This is crazy, and it doesn't have to be this way. Chris Allegretta has argued that Unihertz could allow the Lineage project to take over the Jelly Max and ensure that the phone is supported for years to come, simply by sending them some restore zips and 5 pre-prod units. That's it!

    Tell Unihertz: Either support the Jelly Star

    support for darker app icon background


    https://obzorje.kompot.si/apps/files_sharing/publicpreview/m7wX7xw7ybgHDyR?file=%2F&fileId=9275787&x=1920&y=1080&a=true&etag=c8736e55e40cf4ccb90eb316efa2423a

    The left side of the image above shows how icons currently look in LineageOS even when the dark theme is enabled in the phone settings. At least when using the default launcher, Trebuchet (com.android.launcher3).
    Right side is how I imagine that icons should look like with dark theme enabled.
    Ideally, this change should take affect across whole system. So on home screen, in the app drawer and in all other parts of the UI where app icons get displayed.

    My two questions for you:
    1.

    Hotspot and usb-tethering not working

    Hey :)

    A couple of days ago, hotspot and usb-tethering stopped working on my phone (running lineageOS).

    I can still connect to the phone through hotspot and usb-tethering and my computer shows a connection just as it did before. However, no data passes through the connection. I'm connected to the phone, but I'm still offline.

    I still have a connection to the internet on my phone. The only problem I experience on my phone, is that the settings application crash whenever I try to open hotspot settings.

    Two things happened around the time, that it stopped working. First, I reached the limit on how much data I can use in my phone subscription, but it did reset for this month. The second was a systems update to lineageOS.

    Are there any recommendations as to how I can fix this ? :)

    Lineage für Xcover 4-7?

    Wann wird es ein Lineage für Samsung Xcover 4, 5, 6 oder 7 geben? Es gibt nicht viele Smartphones mit wechelbarem Akku, SD-Karte und Dual-Sim. Die könnte man sehr gut weiterverwenden, am besten mit Lineage. #ReparierenStattNeukaufen #UpdatesStattNeukaufen

    LineageOS 22 review | The ONLY sustainable ROM - 9to5Google

    I would have used https://farside.link/ to point to a privacy frontend instead of Youtube directly.
    But current tests show that doing so almost never results in a playable video.
    So for now you get to visit the nasty spyware-filled Youtube interface. I hope that you all use browser addons that help you mitigate that.

    Installing on a non-supporting device

    Would it be possible to install LineageOS on Samsung A53? It isn't supported, but Samsung A52 is, and they are very similar in the hardware aspect. Even so, it may have compatibility issues (if I get it there in the first place). Could anyone help me? Any info is highly appreciated!

    Thanks

    How to do a factory reset on LineageOS?

    I used to know how to do this, but forgot (been a long time since I've used Lineage).

    Don't know if "factory reset" is even the correct term here, but I'd like to wipe everything on the phone, files, apps that don't come bundled with the OS, everything except Lineage itself. I think you have to go into TWRP (???), and then . . . ? Anyway, would be much obliged for any help with this.

    Is this the future of Android and Lineage OS?

    I just upgraded to Lineage OS 22. It looks almost exactly like 21 which looked almost exactly like 20...

    Why is com.google.android.euicc installed by default?

    I've just made a fresh install of LineageOS on my phone but when I open up Aurora store it offers to update "SIM Manager" with the app ID of com.google.android.euicc. Is the source code for this app accessible and should I update it through the Aurora store?

    Installation files not required in my device?

    Hi guys! I have a question. In the wiki for my device installation there is no information about some files that are in the downloads page, like dbto.img and vbmeta.img. If they are not required to install lineageos on my device, why are they in the downloads page?

    Updating LineageOS. Is it safe to flash new version of boot.img?

    I'm updating my Pixel Tablet to December 27 Lineage 21 update. Does the update only include the actual LinesgeOS install (the ZIP on their website) or does it include the other files? So I update the boot.img as well? If yes, should I just flash the one from this device's page on Lineage site?

    Thanks to @iFixit , I managed to replace the batteries in my Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds and in my OnePlus 7T phone without damaging any of the devices. The phone runs now, so it should be good

    Thanks to @iFixit , I managed to replace the batteries in my Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds and in my OnePlus 7T phone without damaging any of the devices. The phone runs @lineageos now, so it should be good for a few more years.

    lineageos 21.0-20241216 nightly update on moto one 5g ace (kiev) boot loop

    Anyone with a moto one 5g ace (kiev) that performed OTA update recently and got a boot loop out of it?

    I use lineageos for microG, which is based on lineageos, and Today got an OTA update which I can't matches the same version as the one on lineage, but after attempting the reboot required by the update, the phone gets into a boot loop.

    I haven't found a way to get out of the loop without losing data. Downgrading doesn't help, no matter if a major upgrade is attempted.

    It looks to me this could be rather lineageos issue, since I got a past experience with a pixel 4a (5g), and at that time I lost all data attempting a factory reset that didn't even help at all. Later there came an update from lineageos, which I manually installed, and got the phone back, though with all data lost. This time I'd like to avoid losing data.

    Any help or hint is appreciated.

    Install issue on OnePlus 11

    I was following the installation guide and things were going smoothly until I started flashing the recovery.img

    For some reason the phone started power cycling, which interrupted the flash. Unplugging and re-plugging it in seemed to resolve it, and it got back to bootloader mode. I flashed the recovery image onto it and tried entering recovery mode, but now it only goes to the bootloader, irrespective of the option I choose.

    Is the phone screwed, or can I salvage this?

    ED. Fastboot detects the phone when it's plugged in but adb does not

    ROM image download location

    When one downloads a new update through the built-in updater, where does the file get put? I'm having trouble during the automated update process with the latest TWRP, and would like to do the dirty manual update
