r/LineageOS

My device (Ulefone Armor 21) is unsupported by LineageOS and there are no custom ROMs. I can buy a new device, but most new phones are garbage without a headphone jack and an SD card slot, plus this one has additional side button.

So in short, I like the hardware, but software sucks.

It is already rooted, and I'm willing to go as far as it takes to make it run LineageOS, but I need some documentation or anything that explains how to make a build for an unsupported device, but I can't find anything.

Another issue is that I don't have the source code for the device's kernel as the manufacturer has refused to provide it, so I was hoping there's a way to extract everything vendored from the stock ROM.

I know that it's not gonna be easy, and if I brick the poor thing, so be it, I'll buy a Pixel, but I still want to try.

Hello! I've followed installation steps for OnePlus giulia CPH2691 and got stuck on the sideload step. The device shows the following error message:

Installing update...
Error: recovery: Open failed: /metadata/ota: No such file or directory
Step 1/2
Error applying update: 7 (ErrorCode::kInstallDeviceOpenError)
ERROR: recovery: Error in /sideload/package.zip (status 7)
Install completed with status 1.
Installation aborted.

Now I only have access to fastboot and recovery mode. There's root access to the device via ADB. Is there a way to make sideload ignore this error as due to rollback prevention, I cannot flash original ROM.

I have switched my phone's OS to lineage, Everything has been much more better. generally it is a smoother experience, wich gives me peace of mind and control over my phone.

One of the main reasons for me to make the switch were concerns for privacy. I normally keep location, camera and microphone disabled, until I use them.I know stock operating systems based on android from many different brands don't actually disable things like location completely.

I'd like to know if wether or not disabling these settings has an effect on my personal privacy, or if at least it is better than sending data 24/7 to google.

Anyone know if Continuous Glucose Monitors like the Dexcom G7 work with LineageOS 23?
There's no mention on their site about LineageOS

How do I get kg status to normal and is qualcomm secure boot a problem if enabled?

Hello, I was recently in China and decided to buy a tablet. When I arrived in Russia, I couldn't find the firmware… I'm practically bricked because I can't find a global version. I downloaded Gbox, but it doesn't let me download anything, and neither does AppGellery. Apps have all the rights. The only solution is to update the firmware. If anyone has a solution, please share it or help me get around this problem. MagicOs
