Hello fellow M9 users,
As many of you may know, AOSP 7.1.1 based custom roms have started to pop up for our device. Many of these are based on the Lineage OS sources (formerly Cyanogenmod).
There appear to be some recent commits to the device specific git repositories for our device:
https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_htc_hima-common
https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_htc_himaul
One major issue that all the Nougat roms currently have is the lack of a working camera. I'm not a qualified dev, so I'm making this thread to both ask for progress and search for/organize volunteer efforts. I remember that we had a similar issue with CM13 (getting the camera to work proved to be difficult and took a while). I'm wondering what the difference is between this device and other devices (since it seems that pretty much every single other HTC device has had LOS14.1 with all working features for a while now). What is stopping us from doing the same? Do we need to create a petition/pester HTC to release source code?
If there are any devs left for this phone, please reply in this thread so fellow M9 users can be kept informed and potentially help you test (or help in any other way, depending on the posters' abilities).
The last commit was one month ago and nobody has replied here, seems like development has really halted... Any idea why this happened? What makes the m9 different from the 7, 8 or 10, all of which have active development?
Maybe because stock system is already superb with sense...

i installed lineage os....and the camera is working fine for me. The thing you need to do is to not update the camera app. As soon you update the app it starts crashing and wont open camera. It happened with me and then i uninstalled the update and guess what camera is working fine again. We will have to wait for this fix but for the time being we have to stick with the older version of camera app.
I have Lineage OS on my M9. If you install flash OpenGapps using the stock installation, you will get an updated google camera that will crash all the time. I flashed the nano installation from OpenGapps. The stock camera from Lineage OS works well. I think the stock version from OpenGapps automatically replaces stock Lineage apps if there is a google alternative. The nano version does not replace apps.
I am looking for some basic information. Does the second screen work in the latest official nightly build of Lineage OS. Now that a legit android 8 is releasing for this phone, will there likely be official support for lineage 15.1?
Edit: Also, I just realized I posted this is the wrong place. Mods feel free to move it to q and a or wherever. Sorry, it's late.

Official? No, development of the second screen is for lineage 15.1, and there are currently unofficial builds with it working pretty well (landscape mode still doesn't work and a handful of other minor issues) done by both our lineage maintainer x86cpu and by the second screen developers themselves. Official lineage 15.1 support will come at some point when things are super stable, right now things are still in flux a bit, one big thing is working on enabling full project treble support.

Thanks, I use my phone for business purposes and I need a stable rom. What do you recommend? I am looking at super-rom.

Eh I suppose stock based roms like super and alpha rom are a a bit more stable than lineage. I mean lineage 15.1 is solid, but has some minor issues and quirks, while stock based roms have been rock solid.
There was currently the final update of the Rom Stock Android 10, security patch level as of October 6, 2019.
For a while now I feel that the phone drains the battery too much at times.
I was looking at Lineage OS v.16 as a viable option for my Google Pixel (Sailfish).
You who think of Lineage OS v.16 in this terminal, or if you know a better custom rom ... tell me your experiences.
I'll probably swtich off stock to Lineage OS 16 in 2020

Pixel Dust X (only on sourceforge, no xda post yet)
The most stabble 10 rom with a lot of features (more than evolutionx)
Upgrade to atleast Pixel 2. The pixel 1 chip is just downright horrible as daily phone especially those with daily usage of internet media consumption. It will stutter even scrolling or on the start page of a game like Mobile Legend. Even a snapdragon 625 is better

Afer the release of EvolutionX 3.5, man this rom is good, no bugs on sailfish and i think theres more features than pixel dust, it has a telegram group so unlike pixel dust you dont have to figure it out by yourself but you can ask other people
Same problem here, I tried everything to save battery but nothing helped, so I just downgraded to latest Android 9 stock(clean install)

Anything different after going to Android 9?
Battery improved?
Im thinking to just replace the battery.
It dit not work to downgrade to Android 9. I didn't get Magisk to run. But LineageOS worked and that is Android 9. everything is working fine so far, need some time to check the battery but I know that Android 9 was much better for my battery before I upgraded to Android 10. And I think there are no features which are missing now. New is not always better.
If you want to use Lineage, OpenGapps did not work because of the system partition size, I had to use MindTheGapps. Flashing Magisk was no problem but I don't like the Recovery from Lineage, so I flashed twrp after install.
this one is good too.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/development/rom-pixel-dust-sailfish-t3585007/page149
I just want to point out that the Pixel I got (new) would NOT stop freezing and stuttering no matter what stock/ custom rom I flashed, and the only sure-fire thing that fixed it was ROOTING and setting the GPU-Min-Frequency -on boot- to ONE step higher than standard [ 214Mhz instead of 133Mhz].
Hope that helps somebody.
I ended up with EX Kernel manager app that fixes my phone 5 seconds after reboot.

Same here, looking for the ROM that is suitable of the obsolete hardware.
Tried Evolution and Dust ROM, I like dust ROM more. However, since none of the custom ROM can be used with bank and payment apps, I switched back to the official ROM.
Android 9.0 update February 2019 seems to be the snappiest firmware I've used. After the update, I switched auto update off in the developer option (need to unlocked/relocked bootloader to downgrade).
Cheers.

Banking apps and GPay definitely work with custom ROMs as long as you're running a custom kernel.

Blissrom maybe?
Hey everybody,
I'm finally thinking of switching off the stock ROM
Since it's been ages since we've had Google support
But what I want in a ROM are the following:
1 Stable battery life
2 Good interface
3 still being updated
4 auto updates
5 fairly customizable

1. Bliss gets best battery life, imo
2. Well everything now has stock android interface
3. I know bliss mantainer and he updates it as frequently as possible, i myself am trying to make sakura project but got some issues here and there, official soon
4. As long as it's official, it should have updates
5. Bliss / resurrection remix?
I don't care much if it's android 9 or android 5. I just want the maps to work and perform basic functions, calls, gmail, youtube, music. No gaming
I have come across the 'LiquidSmooth' Rom on youtube which runs andoird 4.4.4. I am wondering if there is any newer android version that is also fast and doesn't drain the battery.
Thanks
You can try this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3875899
uses android pie. it's the most stable for pie. there are also some efforts for android 10, but the stability for that is more of an alpha.
use twrp 3.2.3 to flash.
If you don't care for pie, you can use ressurection remix Nougat?
I don't think RR supports oreo
https://www.getdroidtips.com/resurrection-remix-oreo-list-supported-device/
here is a brief guide
https://www.getdroidtips.com/resurrection-remix-redmi-note-3-nougat-2/
generally speaking, you want to use as latest android as possible but is stable for your device
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history
Reason being, you need the security patches, if you want as secure as possible an android device, so it doesn't get hacked, or get malware due to vulnerabilities existing on an older android

I'm testing several ... lineage OS 14.1 on antutu gets 39,585 Resurrection Rmx gets 40,696 I have downloaded RR here, in XDA, I quite like it, I have only tried those two. Also the interface in RR seems to me more attractive along with the pixel launch.
I'm a user of lineage OS on the fairphone 2.
I have a big problem with lineage os version 17 on my phone. It constantly freezes when I use different applications (Timer, Telegramm, even sometimes when I get calls). I don't now why. Either it's a hardware problem (broken RAM) or it is a software bug. I wanted to test an older version of lineage OS like version 16 with android 9. I read something about some problems (like freezes) with android 10 which some devices have.
The problem is, there are no older versions of lineage OS for fairphone 2 (older than version 17). Is there a way to get the older versions?
I would be very gratefull.
Regards

Oh boy, yes, I had this very problem as well sometimes
At first I thought of WebArchive:
https://web.archive.org/web/20190724030204/https://download.lineageos.org/FP2
But very slow and in the end it didnt have the ZIPs but when I looked further I stumbled over this:
https://archive.org/download/lineage-16.0-20200325-nightly-beryllium-signed
With 73GB it contains all devices but with torrents you can also choose the one you want:
lineage-16.0-20200322-nightly-FP2-signed.zip (View Contents)01-Apr-2020 19:31419.7Mlineage-16.0-20200322-nightly-FP2-signed.zip.sha25601-Apr-2020 19:32109.0B
I think this is a snapshot before LOS 18 started...
PS: OH! Wait! From there you can even download the single files
