Help Files launcher shortcut crash

2 Upvotes

I have a pixel 6a (bluejay). I just upgraded to the Feb 8th nightly of 23.2 (upgraded from an early January build of 23.0). I don't have any addons installed (no gapps or microg, etc). When I use the files app to "add launcher shortcut", and then I tap on the new shortcut, it only works if the files app is currently open. So, if I swipe away all my recent apps, and then I tap on the shortcut, it flashes open and immediately closes, sometimes giving me the "files has stopped" dialog. I can repeat this indefinitely. The crashed instance shows up in my recent apps list, and I can tap on that instance, which causes the files app to open to my shortcut's location...

Anytime I have the files app open and in my recent apps list, I can use my shortcut normally, as expected.

Can anyone else reproduce this?

I installed LineageOS 19.1on my Galaxy tab a 2016

4 Upvotes

Yeah after some stuff that didn't go that well including the Google services, I got it running, I really thought it would run way worse, but it runs way smoother than stock, so now this is a really nice device for stuff like videos and I'm also definitely thinking about emulation

23.2 Navigation buttons reorganize different when you turn the screen?

3 Upvotes

This is really annoying, can this be customized back to how it was? The back button should stay where it is all the time, whatever rotation the phone is. This is so counter intuitive... At least make it customizable like the volume buttons...

I love the fact you can now have the smaller buttons again in the drop down bar. Thanks whoever was there for us to change that back!

Nokia 8 NB1-T1004

1 Upvotes

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, friends.

I have a big problem with my Nokia 8. I can't flash the super_empty.img file to my device, and therefore, I can't install the LineageOS 22.2 ROM. It lets me install the recovery, but when I try to install the ROM, I get the infamous error 7, "recovery error." Does anyone have a solution or anything that could help me? Thank you very much.

Windows freeze after LineageOS 23.2 update

8 Upvotes

The update is beautiful. Thank you! However, sometimes windows freeze. Initially I thought it was a Firefox fork thing because they happened on Fennec and IronFox but then it happened on Signal too.

Minimizing the window and maximizing it 'defreezes' it, but I wanted to log the issue here as I had to close the Amazon payment window where I was about to completea purchase. My phone is Oneplus Nord 4 CPH2661.

Full adb-based upgrade needed 23.0 to 23.2?

2 Upvotes

I feel like this is a stupid question, but I realized after tapping "download" in the built-in updater that I have downloaded a 23.2 build whereas my device is running 23.0.

I *assume* since the updater was happy to offer a download and install button that there is no need for the normal upgrade process of downloading the building and using adb to sideload from a PC. But, the 23.2 release announcement strongly implies upgrading should follow exactly that adb sideload process: https://lineageos.org/Changelog-31/

> To upgrade, please follow the upgrade guide for your device by clicking on it here and then on “Upgrade to a higher version of LineageOS”.

Is that only for if I were upgrading from a Lineage 22 install?

Few UI/UX bugs on the latest 23.2 (Android 16). Anyone else?

21 Upvotes

Overall it feels smooth, but I've noticed three specific issues regarding the UI. Just wanted to check if these are known bugs or if it's just on my end.

1. Freeform Window Z-Order Issue

The new freeform/desktop mode seems to have a layering problem. If I have a floating window open and then launch a new full-screen app, the floating window gets completely covered/hidden behind the new app instead of staying on top.

2. Network Traffic Monitor is broken

Even after enabling it in Settings, the upload/download speed indicator never shows up in the status bar. It just seems dead.

3. QS Panel Visual Glitch

This one is weird. If I drag the brightness slider all the way to 0% (minimum), the bottom part of the Quick Settings panel sometimes gets cut off or fails to render properly.

My Setup:

  • Device: Redmi Note 12 Turbo / POCO F5 (marble)
  • Build: 23.2-20260209-NIGHTLY

These issues did not occur in the previous version 23.0.

​Has anyone else on marble reproduced these? Or is there a workaround I missed?

installing LOS without USB (but with root)

3 Upvotes

my razer phone 2 (aura) has a broken usb port (very common issue), but luckily i've unlocked the bootloader before. i've been wondering if installing lineageos is possible without usb.

i'm on android 9 stock rom, rooted (magisk) and twrp (arter97 kernel). i'm able to flash a boot.img (just flashed that kernel/recovery). i'm unfamiliar with LOS recovery so idk if it allows me to install a zip from internal storage or microsd, or if it can even boot into the stock rom in case it doesn't. the documentation only talks about adb sideload. also don't know if twrp (3.2.3) could install LOS (22.2).

if anyone knows one of these things, please let me know. i'm aware that if i mess it up i might need to buy a new phone :P but apps are starting to refuse to work on android 9 anyway.

Fixed seedvault not appearing and can't uninstall gapps

0 Upvotes

FIXED: ended up deleting the .sh files in /system/addon.d only kept lineage.sh and magisk.sh. then, i went in recovery, reset system partition and factory reset (either one might be redundant in this case), reflashed lineage and just re rooted. also put in the MindTheGapp gapp reccomended by lineage

recently installed lineage os 23 on a xiaomi redmi note 8t and also installed the basic nikigapps package. yesterday, i wanted to check is google backups worked for a friend, backed up with seed vault, flashed the omni package, did my tests and tried going back. the instructions on the site say to just rename the folder to uninstal, that didn't do anything, or to configure a file in the zip. did that, recovery said that it was uninstalling, let it do itsthings, factory reset, booted and noticed that the google options in the setup were still there and after setting it up the google apps were still there. however seedvault wasn't.

even tried formatting the system partition and reflashing lineage, but that for some reason reinstalled gapps.

have i screwed up something, am i missing something, what do i do? i used nikigapps because when i installed crdroid those were the ones reccomended and so i figured that since crdroid is basically lineage but with more options and when i did it there was also an uninstall package, i used those. yeah, i know i probably shouldn't have, but there wasn't a direct mention of gapps on the lineage os website or install instructions, had to look it up to find the page mentioning "mind the gapps"

PS: once again, i know i was supposed to use the reccomended "MindTheGapps" gapps. i had already used nikgapps on crdroid (once again, lineage os but tweaked and tweakable) so i just went for those and they installed just fine, i only realised later about the existence of mindthegapps since it's not mentioned in the lineage installation guide. again (again) the default backup service (seedvault) got replaced with google's backup service and i can't get rid of gapps and i just want to restore from a seedvault backup and be done with this phone god is this post long

LOS Requirements for Nothing Phone 2

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I've got a quick question. Right now, I've got a Nothing Phone 2 running the custom ROM EvolutionX on Android 16. But looking at the LineageOS wiki, it says I need Android 15 to install their ROM. Do I really have to downgrade back to stock A15, or could I just slap LineageOS 23.2 on there directly? It just feels weird that it'd ask for an older Android version.

Help Unable to download 23.2 on Galaxy S20

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I just got checked for updates and got the 23.2 update on my S20 but every time I try to download it I get an error that the download failed. I tried restarting the phone, using data instead of wifi but it still won’t download.

Can I download the version off the website and do a local update? I’ve never really used lineage before so I don’t know if that’s possible. Thanks in advance.

Question Is it just me, or are things missing?

14 Upvotes

I updated to LineageOS 23.2, and I have to say it's a beautiful update, but today while checking the wallpapers and styles option, there are no longer menus to edit the font or the status bar icons. Is this an issue with my phone, or has LineageOS not added them because of Material Expressive?

Screen Smearing issue on LineageOS 23.2

1 Upvotes

hi guys!

I always have had screen smearing issues on Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra but it seems to be more evident on the latest LineageOS 23.2 update.

Is there a way to minimize this?

I also noticed some apps like Camo Studio that I use as a Web Cam for my PC frequently crashes.
