Fingerprint yes! Flash lineage15.1 to your P20

Hello,everybody,since no developers working on custom rom for P20,we have to flash a treble rom,or,like you see here,flash a P20pro rom.
After several days trying,I finally suggest you to flash the lineage15.1 rom ported to P20 pro from Luk.
Now,it's time to escape from Huawei EMUI，out of the limit(like more apps background running).
What's the good thing?
Fingerprint yes! Fast charge yes! Full screen apps yes! Even stock camera(from Androlark).
Any bugs?
NFC(not working at all) ,wifi-hotspot(you can use USB tethering instead).
Here is a guide for flashing:
Before you go,make sure a unlocked bootloader,and twrp for installing gapps/migisk/stock camera.And you must do a full factory reset,it's very important ,otherwise the rom can't boot.
A flashable system.img link(extract from Luk's P20 pro rom)
One-click ADB
Flash it using ADB tool.
Type the following line:
Code:
fastboot erase system
Code:
fastboot -u flash system p20-lineage15.1-system.img
Then reboot.
If you want to flash gapps,after boot worked,turn the "Developer options"-"Advanced restart",then reboot to twrp,wipe data cache dalvik again(it's necessary,if not ,you will see the apps forceclosing again and again)
Cheers:highfive:
Thanks @LuK1337 again

Reserved for Q&A.

Thanks for the thread man !
But with the upcoming update of Pie, i will wait a little bit before jumping on a new rom than the EMUI, otherwise i would already installed it.

Finally able to boot on the rom.
If you have trouble for install : try a different version of adb, and after a full factory reset, go to twrp and wipe dalvik, cache and internal storage again then flash.

How come hotspot is broken here but not on the official Treble Lineage 15.1 ?

That's right bro,sorry I didn't help you in time yesterday,I'm in China,there's a time difference between us.
Upload an ADB tool I'm using,for those who need it.
One-click ADB

Thanks for the tool
- Fingerprint working
- Root & magisk supported.
- Stock Camera mod also works
- Always on display (but i really don't like it and no stock setting to disable it completely, only hide it when you turn off the screen)
So far the bugs i encounter are:
- No notch support (but icons are spread between the edge of the status bar, so only the speed meter is hidden in my case)
- The home button only works for fingerprint sensor if you have virtual button enabled.
-NFC ? (i don't use it)
Here's some screenshots to show the notification system's behavior (yes, they are expandable from the notification drawer and lockscreen :good: )

I attach a link for a simple script tool that I have used which is very useful for creating flashable system images from system.new.dat.br and system.transfer.list files.
Extractor 3.5
I have attached this so that people can make their own system image files when the Linage OS rom is updated rather than wait for someone to upload their own image files.
Instructions
1. Extract Extractor folder from attached zip.
2. Extract system.new.bat.br and system.transfer.list from rom zip file.
3. Place files in folder labelled "place_for_supported_files_here".
4. Run Extraktor_EN.cmd
5. Select option 9.
6. Use the system.new.img and flash using fastboot as detailed in the original post.

Exact i checked the same options, but when you receive a notification, it still displays the notification on the ambiant display mode... When you turn on the phone or touch it, you activate the lockscreen.
With that black screen, i miss notifications if the phone is laying on the table for exemple ...

That's the problem,no pie rom for p20 can boot except emui9 beta at the moment. I tried all I could find, including aosp pie for Honor v10,which is based on emui8.1 vendor,can boot on p20 pro.

Hints & Tips:
1. To improve the speed of the tablet, turn of animations inside Developer Options.
2. You can also install an app freezer called "Icebox" to temporarily disable RAM hungry apps like Facebook, Chrome etc.
3. To ensure longer battery life, disable “double tap to wake” hidden somewhere in the settings (use the app called "Kernel Adiutor" from the Playstore).
4. If you don’t plan to put a SIM on this thing or if you are having a SM-T560 only, put it in airplane mode and then turn on your WiFI when needed. Turn of GPS/location or even sync when not necessary.
5. Disable "Adaptive Display" in the settings. It seems to make the tablet slower.
6. Improve the battery life of the tab by using an app called “L Speed“ (available in Playstore).

Hello, great post. I used this ROM before, but after some time it just stops working. You can't boot it anymore.
How long do you use it already?

Have someone passed safetynet check ? Can you help me with pass?

The ROM is running ok so far on my T560, but I noticed some problems:
* If the tablet runs out of battery with Wifi activated, charging and booting it up causes a boot loop until Wifi is turned off. Something like that... it sometimes gives you the time to open the settings and turn off Wifi before it reboots.
* The Tablet's battery is drained by "Mobile Standby" in approx. two days, regardless of power save, battery saver and/or flight mode. When the Tab is idle all the time, the battery graph runs down in a straight diagonal line until the battery is empty, approx. 2 % per hour. Did not find a way to disable Mobile Standby on my T560 which doesn't even have a modem (maybe that's the problem).
* The system is a bit laggy given that it's a quad core, but turning off Animations helped. I suspect hardware acceleration does not work.
I'd switch to a better rom if I find one. But thanks anyways for the information and work! Better than nothing, I guess

Problems of ignition and charge of battery
Hello friends, I need a help I have a Samsung Tab E 9.6 = SM.T561, I installed Roon Custom Lineage 14.1 with TWRP, but the Tablet was downloaded and I can not charge it or turn it on, I searched everywhere and nobody gives me answers . I appreciate the help given. Thank you

Hi, I hope someone who has tried this rom can give me some feedback on it. My main concern its if this is stable and faster than ron. Any idea?

I had a similar problem in the beginning. Seemed as the tab was in a bootlooporsomething similar with black screen.
The only solution I found was to wait some days until the battery was empty, charge the tab and directly started to download/recovery mode and flash it again.
Now it is working fine with this ROM.

I am using it now for ~2.5 months and I am quite happy with it.
It is much better then the stock ROM.

Hi @SeeDoubleYous and guys. I was reading the Forum and decided to share with you my experience with this ROM. Well, I'm owner of a SM-T560 (in US and Canada this model is T560NU I don't know why it's different just in these two countries ). Anyway....
I made all the steps described on the step-by-step Instructions. (TWRP Recovery via ODIN, Root, ROM, GAPPS, etc etc etc).
I'll be honest with you. My t560 turned in a piece of sh... Very Slow, Apps Stucking all the time, sometimes bootlooping too... i used the Tab for almost 3 weeks. After that I decided to reset the device and I did all steps again using the same ROM (I reinstalled the TWRP RECOV via ODIN, proceeded a Factory + Internal Memory Wipe, Installed the LINEAGE 14.1 OS, etc, etc, etc) But this time I choose the "Micro" GAPPS option instead "PICO". Installed Root SU, etc, etc exactly as the directions wrote in the top page.
For my surprise, It's perfect Now!!!! ROM is great.... No problems of RAM, Bootlooping, Stucking, APP crashing... Absolutelly Nothing!
I don't know why, but it seems that the secret is install for first time and use for some weeks even its is not working fine. And After that, proceed All the step-by-step again from the very beggining. (Reinstall TWRP, ROM, GAPPS, Keys, "Boot Image" and ROOT SU). It will work fine on SM-T560 just from the second Install on.....
All Best guys

I need help. My screen is stuck on boot again
Am I bricked?

Hi guys, I've got a T560 tablet with the official ROM and I'm researching to upgrade it's software.
Currently I'm away off-shore for work but as soon as I get home I'll try this ROM.
I've been a fan of CyanogenMod since the early days and I'm eager to try it so I can bring some new life into my old tablet.
Since this ROM is for the SIM card variant T561 I was searching for a way to disable the Radio altogether and I found this:
https://android.stackexchange.com/q...le-radio-signal-in-a-phone-without-a-sim-card
Basically it disables the RIL with a simple Terminal Command:
Code:
su -c "setprop persist.radio.noril 1"
Can someone try this and see if its working properly? (OFC after a Back-up is done) Its persistent through reboots so you don't need to use Airplane Mode anymore and maybe it will help with the battery draining problem.
Also one question for the guys who are currently using this ROM:
Is Magisk working? After everything is set-up can we uninstall SuperSU and install Magisk for root?
Thank you,
Have a nice day!

I've tried the command and it worked, no reboots even if the airplane mode is off and no problem so far.
I don't know if the battery life is better now because I've just done it.
For the other question, I haven't tried because I like SuperSu, but I think there's no problem.

How I can flash a GSI ROM for Redmi Note 8 Pro?

Hello everyone, Im trying to understand how to flash a GSI img ROM (I want to try AOSP stock, or Havoc OS) but, I saw some posts and looks like is a bit hard to do.
I had TWRP installed (unofficial begonia) and magisk installed.
some informations I found: this device is just A slot supported
What exactly I need?
Orange Fox recovery?
Before flash need to disable something in recovery?
A arm64 slot IMG?
And gapps?
What are the steps?
Im waiting your answer

So far with my personal experience trying to flash Lineage 17 GSI on my RN8Pro and have had no luck. Lost baseband and both imei #'s in the process too (still trying to figure out how to restore).

Finally was lucky!
Flash LR Team TWRP:
https://mega.nz/#!B75xWQQQ!8DQdy09luHihxCziRX7ywUWkAwmAahjnWOQDgHxcTPA
Enable debugging and make sure computer has permission to use
On command promp adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot (immediately disconnect phone and hold volume up)
In twrp go to advanced and Select "Close AVB2.0" swipe to confirm
Go back to twrp home -> Wipe -> Format
Flash gsi
And presto!
I just flashed Lineage 17 GSI as of now I wouldn't recommend it. Fixing to flash ASOP 10 GSI from phhusson see if it is any better!
Also as a favor since I lost baseband and imei for my phone could you please create a backup through twrp of your nvram and nvdata and PM it to me?
If you need any help just pm me!

Off the bat, Bluetooth did not work it just kept giving a Bluetooth has stopped message. Didn't have face unlock. Screen would suddenly flash as if display were damaged and would suddenly freeze when opening stock apps. And a few other things I don't remember as I already flash off of it.

Generic System Image. Basically a single ROM image that should technically work in any device running Android 8.1 or newer. It contains the generic AOSP (Pure android) source.

Disabling HW Overlays means that your GPU is the only thing that will handle all of the graphics on your phone. If this is not on in some GSI ROMs the screen will flicker when it's about to go to sleep and at other random times. It can be accessed in Developer options.
Additionally, as this is a GSI made to work on many different phones, the proportions on the screen are off when you first install it. On Havoc, all of the resizing options are in Havoc Settings. In other ROMs without customization options, there are ADB commands that can resize your ROM. Specifically, the problems I initially experienced were involving the status bar icons and clock only partially being on the screen.

I am actually using the GSI right now. I didn't restore MIUI because I just did not like it. I think I'll stay on this GSI. Again, after some modifications in Settings, the ROM I'm using works near perfectly.
The cameras, of course, are kind of messed up though. No matter what camera app I use I cannot access the 64MP camera and anything other than the camera app that came with the GSI (which is pretty bad) randomly flickers the screen while I'm taking a picture or recording a video, even after disabling HW Overlays in Developer Options. Maybe could be fixed by flashing a third party camera app as a system app.
Other than that, no problems whatsoever.

I don't really mind the cameras not working at a 100% tbh since i don't use them that much. However did you try GCam on GSI or any other API2 camera app?

Yeah, but the screen flashes randomly on them.
CameraMX works great with the cameras that it does support. CameraF5-V crashes randomly. GCam for RN8P can only take photos, and only supports 2 cameras. I think that some of these issues would be fixed if I flashed then as system apps, because the stock camera app works fine, albeit the fact that it's just not a very good camera app.

Help needed: No phone signal on Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T

I am using the latest LOS built on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T and everything works except the signal. I am using an European simcard. Before I installed LOS, the simecard worked fine with the phone.
What I've tried:
- dial *#*#4636*#*#
- use an older built
- reinstall firmware
- turning on and off multiple times
Thank you for your help.

next time use reply or quote (i didn't get a notification)
yes, both of them (cam/celular signal) rely on "sensors" ,so that might be a sensor problem
i suggest you do a clean flash and see

Hello!
I had more or less the same problem both on LineageOS and ArrowOS. I am currently using ArrowOS. Followed the instructions for ArrowOS. Full wipe, flash rom, latest firmware, reboot. I don't use gapps.
Every data/radio connection worked except LTE. I am in Hungary. After a bit of research, trial and error i have a perfectly working system. OTA works too.
All i had to do is:
- Dial *#*#4636#*#*
- Phone Information, upper right corner dots (menu?).
- Select Radio Band.
- Europe.
- Restart phone.
After that i had working LTE both data and radio. Maybe for data you have to research your carrier's instructions.
Hope i helped, good luck.

Thank you very much for your answer. I tried it, but unfortunately nothing changed. What net type did you use? I have "LTE/TD-SCDMA/CDMA/EVDO/GSM/WCDMA". Is it the correct one?

Tested GSI List for the Nord N10 5G

Decided a list might be nice to have for those interested in flashing GSI Images
All these GSI's I've tested on a BE2026 Lito, but I'd assume its the same for other models. As long as you can unlock bootloader anyway
GSI List
Havok OS
-- Android 10
-- Pros: Reads SIM cards, wifi functions, bluetooth works, camera works, everything works
-- Cons: Once you flash Magisk using custom recovery, it only boots to bootloader, GAPPS won't flash, had to debrick device after this...
/e/OS DeGoogled GSI
-- Android 10
-- Pros: Wifi/Bluetooth/Camera and system work. Magisk flash with custom recovery works
-- Cons: Doesn't read sim cards at all, Screen stays exceptionally bright at all times even at 0% brightness
LeOS DeGoogled GSI
-- Android 10 and Android 11
-- Pros: Same as /e/OS
-- Cons: Same as /e/OS
DotOS GSI
-- Android 11
-- Pros: Not really any lol
-- Cons: Upon initial boot ,screen flashes, System Force Closes, screen is black. Unusable
Android 12 GSI from Google
-- Android 12
-- Never Boots
crDroid GSI
-- Android 11
-- Pros: nothin
-- Cons: have to delete product_a and _b slot partitions to resize for it to function, never boots, kicks you back to bootloader
- currently flashing

Android 12 if it works I also have a list give me time but some roms need permissiver.zip

Huh did not know of that. Know a fix for issues with SIM Card not being seen at all? /e/OS does it to me on every device I flash it to. I've seen people say to flash back to stock then flash an A-Only GSI, sometimes that fixes the SIM issue

It may be a problem with the vendor or kernel, I could compile but my laptop broke down and renting a server is very expensive in my country

Don't have anything except Discord, Twitter and FB, but I generally only share my discord.
I'm thinking something's just missing from the ROMs, since it works with Havok ROM and such

How did you get HavocOS to boot? This specific image never seems to boot no matter what I do. Did you flash any fixes or did it just boot up first time?

I'm using Corvus 16.7 and everything works just fine EXCEPT connecting a headset or a speaker. I can't do it no matter if I use a cable or via Bluetooth, which is a shame because I use to listen to music that way.
Everything else works fantastic, so I don't have regrets.

Ever since the Android 11 update went through, even if I use the debricking Android 10 software to go back, no gsi boots at all. Even GSI's I had that were working.

Yesterday I tested Android 12 AOSP GSI+GMS on my N10 5G. It works, but 90hz needs to be set from adb, biometrics won't work at all (build.prop might need edits) and 5G cannot be enabled. LTE, 3G and 2G works, calls work, WiFi & Bluetooth works, camera works and audio works.
I think that the issue is on build.prop. Also you need to install proper vbmeta.img so it can boot.

I've had this bookmarked for when I had my laptop working.
https://developer.android.com/topic/dsu
Seems we have the ability to add gsi images and everything.

I'll try Pixel 5 Android 12 Beta 4.1 firmware GSI port too, maybe more stuff works.

I used GSI installation tutorial from this forum. Also issues on GSI might be possible to solve, but I have no idea how...

I've totally forgotten to update about my GSI experience on this phone. Pixel 5 port didn't work properly, but I haven't tried any Phh-Treble images yet.

a(11)-a(12) gsi+gms dsu loader worked fine (its the 'easy' button for flashing)on N10 5G (w/unlocked bootloader).but i noticed my storage space was reduced to like 8 or 9gb,(tryin to recall but i flashed back as soon i saw it).and then almost corupted my sd card.. or it misread it. cant remember if it wiped my phone(it was already wiped)or id just flash back over,but setting up phone again and again sucks.man,i got the memory of a goldfish

Hm I might have to try this out out of boredom. Mind sharing where you found dsy loader? Never heard of it is it specifically for the N10 5g or just a global tool? Oh yeaahhh, I'd also say my memories are about the same. It's from all that reefer mann.
