I didn't add the google tools to my LineageOS install, so I don't have the play store. Would kind of like Cash App, my bank app, etc, but don't want to download from a random site for obvious reasons. For instance, cash app is available here.

Is there a trustworthy source for these kinds of apks? Or does everyone just use websites/do without.

I was using it without any problems in 21. I think I should downgrade.

Can anyone help?

hey so i'm looking to finally change from android to a custom rom cause of what google is about to do, but i cant really find anything online about whether my phone is supported. I was able to find out that it might be a rebrand of a moto g play but i'm not sure. anyone know anything? (model name: T790W)

I'm on a phone with A/B partitions (slots?), and just did a LineageOS OTA update.
I forgot to resinstall Magisk after the update applied and before the reboot.
Yet Magisk is still there and my phone is rooted.

Is "Install to inactive slot" in Magisk not needed anymore? I've been doing it for years.

Weird icon on text app on Android 15.

I just bought a oneplus phone from a friend for 30€ only needing some cheap repairs. As I tested the camera on different apps, I realised, the photo quality is good only in the default app (not in gcam or opencamera). Is there a OOS camera port for this device or something similar?

Not sure who needs to read this, but if like me you're using Android Auto with your LineageOS/other libre OS smartphone, you probably need to go to Android Auto's development settings (click 10x on Android Auto's version number) > "Allow apps from unknown sources", so that apps from Aurora Store/F-Droid can connect correctly to Android Auto. I used to have "Media Unavailable" whenever I tried to play things on my car, and this fixed it.

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. Any ideas or suggestions for what options or workarounds could be used to achieve this right now?
   • Yes, launcher with support for custom icons could mitigate part of this issue.
   • Themed Icons affects just home screen and changes whole icons instead of just background.
2. What would be the development / contribution process for introducing this functionality into LineageOS by default?
   • LineageOS issue tracker prohibits submission of feature requests. Which part of the internet would then be most appropriate for discussion about how to make this happen?
   • Is this even within a scope of LineageOS? Should this feature be implemented within AOSP in order to get introduced into LOS?

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 ? :)

Pictures from the recent bird watching trip at Sultanpur, Gurgaon.

I saw lot of Cormorants, Painted storks, Ibis, different kinds of Egrets, Ducks, Kingfishers and Parakeets fighting with a snake (sorry no photograph of it)!

Apologies for the quality of the photographs, low effort captures using #FOSS Open Camera app using @lineageos phone.

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.

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.

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

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?

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?

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 @lineageos now, so it should be good for a few more years.

Proud of myself.

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.
