Lineage OS 18.0 UNOFFICIAL for Pixel 4a 5G- where is it or has it gone? - Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion

[OBSOLETE NOW]
Hello,
I am confused about this announcement, which has been cited and referred to all over the net:
The Google Pixel 4a 5G gets its first custom ROM and kernel
I can't see the ROM here:
Google Pixel 4a 5G ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot
Am i blind or has it been removed already after only one day? And if so, why?
Thx for enlightment & best regards

I noticed the same thing from one day to another. As it coincided with the migration to XenForo, I assume something went wrong during the process.

[CLOSED] Welcome to XDA 2021!
KNOWN ISSUES as of 12/3 (we're working on these!): Some threads/posts may be missing. We imported missing threads, some first posts missing still. Need to launch new XDA app asap. All current apps are broken like Tapatalk and XDA app. Use the...

Second bullet point in the first post: Missing threads for some users. So hopefully this is it and they'll fix it soon.

Thx for clarification! The ROM is back now (follow link in first post), so this thread has become obsolete.

[INDEX+Help Thread] No Question is noobish Here

To all new users:
Welcome to the Help and General Discussion thread Of LG Optimus G PrO
Introduction​
Made this thread with the intention that because of this thread the amount of spam posts in development thread will be sorted under the head of one thread only..
Read this all before continuing to use this forum or making a new thread to ensure you make the most out of it:
First of all:
Post in these respective sections according to their usage:
Let Us understand What these different sectionS mean -
1.General Section - ​
This Section General Section should be used when :-
You have something cool to share *When it is not already shared by someone else*
A thing which is not made by you but you know that will work on this phone and is not shared by someone else
Some topic discussion which is not about warez, advertisement, bounty collection, off topic, etc
Any ROM, theme, mod, tool, development related thing NOT made by you.
Any Off-Topic Discussion should be done in this thread and you are free to ask any type of question here. I will be ever grateful to answer you. And no question is noobish here and no one is noob here.
Any guide that IS made by you. Copying guides isn't good and if a guide is modified by you for our device then link to original thread should be included.
Any, tricks(not promoting or discussing warez), tips, suggestion, etc which are not created already by someone else
Any app made or not made by you belongs in this section and not development section.
2.Android Development Section - ​
These things belong to development section :-
ROM made by YOU
Kernel made by YOU
Tool made by YOU
ROM ported by YOU
All of these things should be tested by you
No KANGS(Copying other person's work without permission and/or posting it with/without credits)
3. Themes And Apps Section - ​
These things belong to Themes and apps section :-
App Made by you for this device..
Any special themed apk for this device
3. Original Android Development Forum - ​
These things belong to Original development section :-
Official releases of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them
Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.
A significant “first” in development for a device. Significant is subjective, but it is likely something which took considerable time/effort, and is generally accepted by developers to be significant and non-trivial.
Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available. Some element of original work is expected.
Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.
Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to users of the target device. The port should be beneficial (a port from two virtually identical devices isn’t original development, it’s winzipping, and nobody really benefits from this, as it’s not development)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
So here
#Your opinions, chats, suggestions, tips, etc which can help other users. No flaming needed.
#Your discoveries. Don't post other's work as yours
#No need of using this thread as political or social or religious topic gossip
Hope this thread doesn't die and newbies use it and let the general section remain clean and full of genuine questions, guides and other much useful stuffs
-Regards-
A newbie..:laugh:

I think the jury is still out on this one. Some people swear that you should unplug a device as soon as it is fully charged. Other people insist that you can leave it plugged in perpetually without any adverse effects. I typically charge my phones when I go to bed so I'm sure I'm technically "over-charging" my batteries, but I've never experienced any noticeable battery failures.

A little quirk but it's annoying me to no end: Is there a way to make the Contacts app add a new contact by default to my Google account instead of Phone? I use Android largely because of the contacts sync, but defaulting to Phone is a step backwards IMO. I couldn't find any relevant settings anywhere, nor anybody mentioning this on these forums.
Other than that, I love this phone.

Rooting/Warranty
So I am DEFINITELY new.... And as a start I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, or way. I am just wondering if I root my LG OGPro can the rooting ever be reversed in case I had to send the phone in for repair? Ex: Rooting voids the warranty of course, but let's say.... I don't know... Anything was to happen to my phone. Is there a way to reverse the root so that it would appear "from the box?"
I just want to know before I decide to root it. Thanks in advance.

Mine used to do the same thing... All you have to do is when you enter a new contact, select the Google account you want instead of the Phone or SIM. The next time that you enter a contact, it will automatically be selected as your Google account as the default. I enjoy Gmail for the contact sync as well. But I still have the dumb AT&T app set up for backup. Which I'm not sure why bc Google is MUCH more reliable!
Hope this helped!
hangouts video call mobile data
I am not able to make hangouts video calls on mobile data on PAC-man 4.3 Build 1(09/23/2013). i used to be able to make video calls on stock rom with mobile data. Am i missing something somewhere? Anybody else notice this on PAC-man rom for e980?
Hello.
I'm completely new here, I and wanna ask something very basic
How to make a complete backup/nandroid backup/those thing? I want to use other roms etc but I don't know how to make backup
At least a backup that can make me fix things when I destroy my phone
I did make backup, install rom, etc before with samsung galaxy young duos, but it seems everything is different with OGP. I don't even know how to boot to cmw. Like, press power and volume up and home button? Or what?
However I already rooted my phone.
If you can provide step-by-step on how to make backup and restore it (which I think the most basic things to do before going further), please do so. Any help is very appreciated

Can you keep this topic updated with newer releases? I don't have play store and telegram so i can't make an account.
I am probably an old fart but it seems the all the young guys has gone completely social by now and such an old to like a forum is not a good place to be.
I know it's sad but I also think is the future I also wonder what it means for the open-source in general and my thoughts are not very positive

Open-source is going fine. Gitlab, Linux and so on are all evolving.
I think the problem here is a lot of developers are more young and hobbyists so they do what they grew up doing. Living in social media and with the smartphone.
As you can see, LineageOS official posts things on their website. It would be extremely unprofessional to do things via telegram. This is why kids here do like that. They don't care very much. This is why you see roms being adopted and abandoned in a matter of weeks too.

I reluctantly signed up to Telegram just for this and so am not a regular user myself. I'm trying to cut my use of messenger/soc media not increase it but will check in every now and again. I've messaged @mdeejay to ask if he can do a LOS16 thread - he has them for his other ROMs. If anyone knows of a Telegram to RSS feed or any other way of getting messages out automatically I'd like to know. Not ideal for now but I'll try.
The ROM works fine for me.

Promised Land of speed / battery tweaks, FINALLY after 15? years!? on this site

Ok, so the thread i'm referencing is from the MIUI forum, but having tried it on my Pixel 3 XL, I am happy to report that it works FANTASTICALLY so far.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi...en-to-84hz-t3942063/post79776396#post79776396
The OP is about a dbto.img replacement hack, using an apk called Lanthanum System Toolbox. The hack in question works great (I used the app to flash to dbto_a and dbto_b)
but the app itself is amazing. Forget init.d tweaks, magisk tweaks, searching for ever-better kernels, kernel aduitor, and all the rest.
There's a profile section which allows downloaded presets, the one for 845 SOC works great.
Only other things I should mention are that I had trouble dling the apk from xda, so i got it from their github (google Lanthanum System Toolbox) , and I'm running Colt OS - Enigma ROM (https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...unofficial-colt-os-enigma-crosshatch-t3953043)
, boot.img extracted using https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/how-to/guide-how-to-extract-payload-bin-ota-t3830962
, magisk canary patched and reflashed.
oh, and it's mostly localized in chinese,
but there's enough english that i was able to use it with very little trouble
perhaps i got the wrong apk, cause the screenshots on the OP are english
I really am surprised that there isn't a reference thread in the crosshatch forum already . you may consider my tone hyperbolic, but try it and you'll see i'm being understated if anything. enjoy!
not sure how increasing the refresh rate helps battery?

You used the dtbo.img from the mi9 thread that you linked? For me when I flash the dtbo.img the app just closes and nothing appears to happen. You were extract the boot.img for magisk or is it required for the mod as well? Thanks.
Well if some are interested, I can prepare kernel revisions with 64, 69, 70, 75, 80 and 84Hz screen refresh to test. I probably won't be able to test it before uploading each revision, so it would be up to each end user to check it's functionality. Of course I can get zero/natha/ responsibility if some devices are totally broken after.

I used the one which is served directly from the OP I linked to..
I feel badly for all of the people who are having trouble with this.. bootloops and so forth. All I can say is I'm being truthful about the hardware and software I'm using, and it seems pretty straightforward to me. Using this device as my daily driver, still going strong.

ALSO, if the screen refresh part is a placebo, requiring a kernel modification to actually change, then ok.
Embarrassing to state, but I didn't actually test the resultant screen refresh rate, or really anything other than the subjective snappiness of my device.
So now I feel like I rushed to post, but I won't kill the thread because apparently melodystyle2003 is compiling a kernel. Thanks for that.
A small update, almost done with the first revision. I am dealing with some weird errors during the compiling procedure, that's why the 'almost' above, but hopefully tomorrow or day after tomorrow might have them tracked down and solved.

Why don’t you just publish your code somewhere on github, so maybe somebody can help you to compile a kernel with your intended changes or can review the changes?
I’m pretty sure you can’t overclock the display of the pixel 3 devices as we’re using command mode panels and not video mode panels like some other devices where it’s possible to overclock the display refresh rate.
If you’re trying to modify this line for the pixel 3 xl:
https://github.com/freak07/Kirisaku...oogle/dsi-panel-s6e3ha8-dsc-wqhd-cmd.dtsi#L17
It will do nothing.
It’s similar to what happened in this thread and was described in this post

Thanks for the information. On pocophone, changing the
"qcom,mdss-dsi-panel-framerate = <60>;" to the desired refresh rate i.e. 65 or more, was actually doing what was intended to. Have you tried something similar already that actually led only to the placebo effect described on the post you linked? If no, would you kindly do the corresponding changes in your kernel so someone can try it?
Regards

It´s not possible to overclock the displays of the pixel 3 or the pixel 3 xl that way. I don´t need to compile a test kernel to be able to tell you.
Displays running in command mode can´t be overclocked that way, unless you have access to internal files or you are able to flash display firmware to your device.
Both panels from Pixel 3 or Pixel 3 XL run in command mode:
https://github.com/freak07/Kirisaku...oogle/dsi-panel-s6e3ha8-dsc-wqhd-cmd.dtsi#L20
https://github.com/freak07/Kirisaku...google/dsi-panel-sw43408-dsc-fhd-cmd.dtsi#L20
Whereas the pocophone runs (as it seems more than one type of display across different units) all used panels in video mode.
https://github.com/d1stru3t0r/testz...qcom/dsi-panel-ebbg-fhd-ft8719-video.dtsi#L24
https://github.com/d1stru3t0r/testz.../dsi-panel-tianma-fhd-nt36672a-video.dtsi#L24
Panels in video mode can be overclocked this way, if it´s desirable is another question.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it´s simply not possible on Pixel 3 devices.
You can even unpack the dtbo.img, change the line you intend to change and any fps app might show you more than 60fps, but you just fooled the app into thinking our displays refresh at a higher rate than 60fps.

Question any custom rom for the moto e 2020 xt2051-1?

Hi ! im looking forward to change my rom and i wanted to know if specificly the xt2051-1 had one (cuz thats the one i have) i cant find any anywhere for it and i dont want to go for another versions rom cause i dont want my phone to f up i got my phone rooted and installed twrp on it ,my manager is magisk i am confortable with command lines even tho im learning + is there any programs i should use on my pc in case my phone decides to fudge?
thanks for the help
thanks for helping newbies like me
Considering you just got yours,we can assume that it has the new touch screen,so afaik the only rom that will work with touch is this one

A dev uploaded an unofficial 17.1 to AFH(1) w/ the new display driver a couple weeks back. It works great, except no audio besides during phone calls or when using headphones(or BT?, IDK).
I recently stumbled upon AlaskaLinuxUsers tutorial+videos(2) on how to setup & compile custom ROMs. Am in the process of setting up an Ubuntu workstation with 4th gen i5, 8GB DDR3, 2TB SSD & slow internet. It will take some time, apparently. My goal is to get this 17.1 working w/ new display &/or the working 18.1 w/ new display sans gapps. IDK if I will achieve a bootable ROM, but it looks like it's my only path, as outside of Electimon(3), not a lot of development is going on w/ Ginna anymore. Will post progress/results, if any is gained.

Nothing but respect & gratitude for E's work. Am a long-time fan. However, his build contains Gapps & I don't want them.
Understandable if you get one going let me know because I'm currently on stock due to camera issues and I would love a ROM sans g apps especially if you would put sig spoof in for micro g
Just before i do something i just want to know if AOSP has a rom for that phone already cause its my fav rom of all time but if i have to port it myself is there any guidelines i could find on how to port/create custom roms ?

Two posts before yours, link #2.
I have been delayed... unidentified bug bite put me out of service for a bit. Wild f'n ride. Got Ubu w/s setup, will start provisioning/downloading tonight.
After ~14 hours downloading(multiple nights @ < 1MB/s... aggregating > 50 GB) on my wireless plan, I am yet to achieve a 100% sync of the LOS repo. After hitting the MU Throttle Threshold on last month's plan, I must concede defeat at this point as I cannot afford to jeopardize my only home inet option available for another 30 days(extreme rural living, no landlines or line-of-sight options). Sigh.
my schedule is full of other things but i will take a look at the links posted and attempt to to builds as it. LOS sans GAPPS sounds like a dream. currently I use 18.1 modded and manually degoogle it. its not so fun everytime i reset :/
Any update on a XT2051-1 with the new screen and no GAPPs

FWIW, I should have an internet connection capable of down/uploading in the next 2 weeks, at which time I will begin failing to compile until I succeed. Hopefully, on all points.
It seems like rolling the old 17.1 w/ the new display driver would be pretty straightforward, but a lot of ignorance is wrapped in that statement.

General Pre rooted roms(project rooted)

Mod edit: TG link removed as per XDA's TG Chat Rules.
(TG link and home page was removed I can only see in their rules the TG link all good so adding back the home page to the home page)
I started project rooted to provide pre rooted roms to people. I'm looking for someone to help with pixel 6 pro. If anyone is interested please let me know. All it really is is patching operating systems, recompiling then, and sharing them.
I think that there is no value at all in this project. All anyone needs to do is run the original boot.img through magisk before they write it to the boot partition and the job is done.
In addition, if anyone was inclined to use 3rd party hosted pre-rooted (or not) boot images, I would VERY STRONGLY recommend that they DO NOT. This is simply because it opens them up to whatever other undisclosed changes happen to have been added to it.
Thanks for the feedback!!! I can assure you that there is absolutely no malicious intent or anything out of the ordinary in these roms. I've had mixed responses with some liking and disliking the project. If it's not your preference no problem I'm not going to stop you from doing it manually or not using my project either way. I'm doing this for fun and am providing a convenient place for roms in one place(without having to search through chats) and with the bonus of being rooted from the start.

Lol, I get it. I'm not well known or trusted yet as this is not my first project but first I've tried to get out there as much as I am. Again I'll reiterate that you don't have to use it if you don't trust it all my work is posted even the as basic as it is website is open source on GitHub. If you have any genuine feedback for me I'd love to hear it. Constructive feedback on how to get started and trusted wouldn't be so bad. Thanks for your opinion though, it's good to hear what a community thinks of new projects/ideas

Is there benefit in having it pre rooted? Perhaps easier to pass the safety checks for banking apps?

Yes I have had better success with safetynet since doing this they don't always work out like that but for the most part it's been better. As far as pre-rooted with pixel devices it's not too hard to do, just time consuming. I'm going to build a set of instructions tonight for my website as to how to do so yourself for those who would rather do it manually
That sounds great. I'm looking forward to the project.
Back... like 10 years ago roms came pre rooted as well

We understand, just with the new safeties built into to hardware anymore it can comicate things for some people. I am not saying prerooted is WRONG, it can just cause problems. It's not you. Lol
Yeah, some devices can, some won't. I am alware of these but also understand the risk is minimal and unlikely to be president. Reality with anything like this even down to the roms themselves have so many variables that could cause problems. Which I why I have taken the extra steps to test that I have a solidly rooted Rom

For anyone who might want to know this. I have a very poor excuse for a guide on making pre rooted roms on my page now if you have a pixel device it does work. It was quickly put together and I WILL update it SOON and will add screenshots to help as well as fine tuning the wording.
What would be nice is to have the installation routinely root the boot.img if the system is pre-rooted, like Lineage 18 does on my 1+7pro.

Its not a question of you having malicious intent. Its a question of best practices for security. Other people who may be more or less trustworthy than you may have similar projects (and in fact, I remember another thread with this exact purpose), and trusting those may be quite dangerous.
But more to the point, and WITHOUT putting your trustworthiness or honor in question, how can anybody know whether you are *actually* trustworthy or just someone claiming (falsely) to be?
And since the process of running it through Magisk is so absurdly trivial, what advantage does this provide to users to compensate them for the risk?
Advantages: nil
Risks: elevated
Rational choice: avoid.

It does a few things, it in many cases seems to help with safetynet being easier to pass( not always some roms are more stubborn). It provides a convinent place where everything is at. All my stuff is open source and downloadable so you may check whatever you want. Though I don't have the source code to the roms since I'm not building them. And I put links to the roms group chat and instructions as to how(for pixel devices) to make a pre-rooted rom yourself. So if you don't trust it but want it I give how to and where to get the files to do so some also fear that things may not work as mentioned above can happen but is very minimal especially since I test before releasing.

What version of Magisk do you intend to use? Because on at least 2 or 3 occasions due to Google changing things, Canary has been needed. On the other hand, there have also been occasions where Canary broke some things and Stable was needed.
Because the Pixel 6 series seems to be "often" affected by changes made by Google in their monthly updates, as well as Magisk itself, it seems that pre-rooting a rom on the Pixel 6 series "may" cause some unintended problems.
It's been quite the cat and mouse game when it comes to the Pixel 6 series and rooting in terms of these changes, and not in terms of just rooting itself, but other things like custom kernels, etc..

Currently I've been using v25.0 that is one thing I test too and check with others about. So far 25.0 is working great with the minor detail of having to download the magisk apk and install rather then the greyed out icon to "update" but it still works exactly the same and I have not experienced anything broken so far

Yes, but there have been occasions where after a monthly update a Canary version was needed (e.g. December update when Google moved its fstab to /system/etc.) and John had to update Magisk and push a Canary version before people could actually boot a rooted boot image.
And I'm curious if you closely follow the issues, PRs and commits in the Magisk Github? For example, Beta 25.0 has changed (actually changed with Canary 24303 I believe) so that custom kernels will no longer boot unless verity and verification are disabled or if the kernel uses the latest AK3 which patches vendor_dlkm.img and vbmeta.img, or if the kernel patches them itself.
My point is there could be some unintended consequences for people who may not be aware of any current issues unless they are made aware of them before flashing a pre-rooted rom.
Anyway, if people find this useful then good for them and good for you.

I which case testing would show that plus I'm usually pretty good at keeping up with that kind of thing. It is a valid concern but since the versions I release are going to have the correct version for them I will do the same for each rom indevidually as need to make sure they will work properly. Whenever a new version is released. That too means if you are on the same rom and dirty flash to the next one magisk will prompt you to update the app(has been tested too)
