CM 12.1 Nightlies discussion

So i finally gave cm 12.1 a chance because it's been rolling for a while now... and i was actually pretty impressed. The one issue i couldn't deal with is the bluetooth audio playback in my car. Basically it was playing too fast, then pausing every 10-20 seconds and then continuing to play too fast again (also at a slightly higher pitch). I was able to temporarily fix the problem by turning bluetooth off and on but it came back. other than this i didn't see many issues and thought it was pretty good, but for no i'm going to go back to stock until this issue is fixed, i did find that it was already reported to the cyanogenmod team and they are already working on a fix so i'm waiting impatiently until it's fixed and i'll probably be moving from stock kitkat as my main rom to cm 12.1. How has everyone elses experience been with cm 12.1 nightlies so far?
What doesn't work. (if i missed something here post so i can update)
- saving 4k video (1080p works tho)
Battery life ?
- used to be terrible but it's almost as good as stock now but with better performance.

hey
i would like to use CM as i was doing that on my Moto G. the questions I have to users of the newest CM version:
- does quickcircle, google text-to-speech, intelligent screen (LG app) features work?
- what is the quality of videos and pictures taken by the phone running CM opposite to android v20i?
thank you.

1. Quickcircle won't work. To make it work again you have to install a special app. Google text-to-speech works ok for me (I haven't test it too much). LG features/apps won't work
2.For me the quality of pics and videos are the worst I have ever seen!!!! (Much better in the stock LG)
My experience with CM12.1 was average. I was waiting for something better. Camera is awful in the Custom roms. Battery life wasn't the best. In terms of performance the cm12.1 is better than the stock lg.

i've only been running cm 12.1 for a few days now so i don't have alot of substantive input, i did find a fix for the bad bluetooth car audio using a macro/tasker app but i think they have fixed it in the nightly released today, i'm downloading it now it says bluetooth stream parameters in the patch notes so i wont bother sharing my fix until i try this nightly to see if they already fixed it. i'll give a better review of whats working and the camera/video quality after i have a chance to play around with it more.
by the way anything running ART instead of DALVIK cache/runtime is going to perform better but it's at the price of xposed modules and such, i'm not expert on it but i know they switched to ART cache/runtime to be more competitive with the iphone. On Kitkat and lower an android device needs better hardware to output the same performance as an iphone with lesser hardware. ART should fix that problem. If you are curious google ART vs DALVIK
*edit* yeah bluetooth is fixed with the newest nightly update... atleast for my car which is a mazda 3. (yay)

Avrage camera and bugs like video not saving after recording is main culpit to not use CM 12.1. Otherwise it is good as clean android can be.

Videos do save. It is a issue with 4K video ONLY. Switch to 1080p video and videos save just fine.

I found that myselfe, tnx. But I believe that issue is fixed already. Maybe Im wrong, but I did see in changelog or other forum. Maybe someone can test it?

I switched to stock kitkat, I love CM, been running CM since it was 10.1, the problem is that it starts really really fast and after a while CM 12.1 becomes laggy it drives me crazy, other than that is the camera quality which doesn't bothers me as the performance issue,
I guess we'll need to wait for LG to release the G3 source file but who know's when that's gonna happend

good news the latest daily added some balancing between power and battery life. I went from losing a huge chunk of my battery during work when my phone is in my pocket to going 9.5 hours at work and coming home with 94% battery. (that is alot of standby but i use my phone at lunch and have bluetooth running for about 50 minutes of driving). Basically it got alot better, i'm not sure what they did but i did notice that there is a balanced setting in battery screen that i didn't notice before. Anyways I think those who were concerned about battery drain my have had their wishes answered over the last few nightlies.

Knock on works but knock code doesn't, which is quite normal considered it's an LG feature.

Partly working. You can turn screen on by clicking anywhere, and turn it off by knocking at notification bar.

Phone encryption not working?
I've just flashed the 20150603 CM12.1 and I cannot seem to get the phone encrypted. On the reboot to start the encryption, the phone gets stuck in the CM boot animation and the encryption process never starts. Any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks in advance.

I'm on 06/05 nigthly. When I plug the phone in my computer, it's not being recognized. If I change from MTP to PTP, then it works.
I've tried going to Device Manager, and could see that my phone is being recognized as a Nexus device. I tried installing latest drivers from Google's website, but I got a message saying that I'm already on the latest version. So that didn't do anything. I've tried uninstalling that "nexus" driver and rebooting my PC, but it somehow came back when I plugged my phone in. Trying to update gave me the same message.
If I run "adb devices", I can see that there's no devices (it's enabled in developer settings). If I enable ADB over WiFi and try to connect -- it works, and I can do whatever I want. But only over WiFi and not via USB.
Tried different cable and different port as well.

Install OREO?

It is advisable to install oreo??

Yes it is. Some users report minor issues. But overall its stable build.
P.S. i havent heard the hissing sound. Tried few good enough headphones no hissing sound but just to be safe i completely avoid confronting it with Bluetooth headphones

From professional point of view:
When is it advisable to install anything with release number #.0.0?
First releases are close to always known to include some wrinkles that needs to be ironed out...
Personal point of view:
What a heck, it's a phone. Just go for it!

confirming no more hissing sound

What about the issues?
Bluetooth battery drain, Partial "do not disturb" tile, no fingerprint gestures, slow camera app, decreased battery life, 4G and Wifi connectivity problems, App crashes and reboots?
Also, is Pictire in Picture working? I know YouTube app requires a Red subscription and many people aren't aware of that, but are others such as Google Maps navigation etc. working with PiP?
Can someone please post their battery stats?

Please dont take only my opinion as confirmation. Since few user has reported that issue is still there.
Thanks

my device just received an oreo download package this afternoon on Januari 3rd 2018
-never used bluetooth (nor will I ever turned bluetooth or wifi ALWAYS ON)
-finger prints just fine
-camera app is also fine
-battery life.. as for the moment being, from what I gather it's not that different compared when on nougat with december patch
-4G just awesome
-no app crashes nor reboot (at the moment)
so if you're in doubt, then don't download the oreo update.. waiting for a later time frame, maybe
if you're confident, then do it

Go for it. There is bug in oreo that it show worng battery consumption. Its random behaviour on different phone. In some mobile Bluetooth draining battery in some RCS and in some other. Actually it is bug in battery statistics not in power consumption. Overall battery life increased in oreo ...
I easily get 6:30+ SOT :good:
No more force close issue for me. The gesture is removed by Google in AOSP so we never get it in OREO. Camera is still slowwww. No 4G or wifi connectivity issue.. And PIP is working in modded youtube perfectly and in vlc ( I don't try other app).
Overall worthy to upgrade..

ok, I have installed Oreo and I am satisfied, I have not had any serious problems yet, it feels fluid and better than expected that everything I have read. Thanks for the opinions of all, hopefully new patches solve the problems.!!

Everything is fine. But my phone randomly rebooted once. Not sure why. It was like a soft reboot. It was quick. Other than that, Outlook app crushes. Not sure it's the problem of the rom or the app itself.
Battery life is amazing as before.

I would wait.
There are serious bugs and rendering issues and lots of app compatibility problems. Also slower 4g and ghost notification.
In hindsight I would have waited but curiosity got the better of me!
This is not a stable release.

It looks like many of "issues" reported are happening to users who forced the Oreo update by clearing Google Framework data.

Any idea when will the Oreo update be re released?

Running Oreo since weeks. No issues here . I did a factory reset after upgrading to Oreo. . Since weeks its runs fine... Very happy with Oreo

Short review of this rom:
i flashed this rom three days ago (GAAPS nano)
battery life seems slightly better than stock rom
GPS works really reliable (drove 500km today with Google maps)
Rooted via magisk - Adaway/Systemizer/youtube as magisk module - no problem at all
Call quality is good but phone-speaker seems a bit too quiet - flashed Viper magisk module, speakers are loud enough now
performance is outstanding! this rom is so smooth! its like a new phone for me (after freeze/stutter bug from stock nougat rom)
fp sensor is working great
Fast charging is working but there is no indicator for it
over all this rom is great, far better than any stock rom and i did not encouter any bugs so far

My experience so far, I'm missing few features
I will update one by one
1. Cast is not working ( I have Samsung smart TV and it is not connecting)
2. No theme manager
3. No native video calling option in dialler
4. Camera quality is good but video recording is dark
5. Some time signal completely goes for few seconds then appears
6. No temporary disable option for navigate bar
7. Mobile download speed is low when compared to stock ROM download speed
Can someone confirm whether face unlock is working properly in this rom to unlock the screen

My Review -
Pros - ROM is second to none, not even stock comes close in stability & battery performance.
Though i hope these issue will be resolved in upcoming builds later...
1- Sound starts playing from speaker even if you are plugged with ear phones during senarios.
2-Signal bars indicator keeps fluctuating often between 0-4(full strength) though data & calls works without breakage.
3-WiFi connections drops in between & connection works again automatically within 3-4 seconds.
4-Phones hangs little bit during Casting on Android TV.
5- Video recordings are little bit darker as of now.
*Tell you if found any.
This ROM is stable as much as stock ROM, I'm using this ROM as daily driver its better than stock with many features + latest security updates every week.

Ofcourse video recordings are a little darker as of now in any custom ROM, but video thing barely falls into my daily driver agenda, & those issues I've listed are bareable

Very nice to see and i am really happy that LOS is finaly official for this device.Great job from the devs!I am curious are there plans to switch from LOS 14.1 to LOS 15.1?

Experiencing random WiFi drops and inconsistent speeds, anyone else having issues with WiFi too?
Besides the WiFi issues the latest build is nearly flawless, was a bit of a hassle to get it running since I've never done this before but so far it's pretty good.

Thanks for the hard work

Can u list the bugs which u found while using this rom

Rock solid
Thanks devs !
Using this for some time now (January).
Everything works great and is smoother than the stock ROM.
The only minor bug is the fluctuating mobile connection display that has already been mentioned.
Had some odd torch-would-not-start issue after a long uptime (2 weeks), a reboot fixed that.
Battery rocks, usually 5-ish days, 7-8 hours SOT
Love Lineage OS - CM user since 2.3.x, wont buy a phone that has no chance of using LOS

Thank you for your hard work. In two days I noted only one problem: under battery usage Bluetooth is always on the first place with impossibile values (110%, 110000mAh) but it's not a real battery drain.

Superb ROM
First of all, Thanks for this great ROM, much better than stock or ridiciously fast compared to stock. Not even talked about stability.
Very smooth, fast. Long story short: VERY good ROM as daily driver.
I used this rom now almost a week and haven't had any noticable issue
1. Cast is not working.
I did not have this issue, i cast a lot but it is working better than stock
2. No theme manager.
not important to me but i can imagine that it would be important to other people
3. No native video calling option in dialler.
I don miss it, i normally use whatsapp for it, but it would be an welcome option
4. Camera quality is good but video recording is dark
For me it is better than stock, i don have any issues with this
5. Some time signal completely goes for few seconds then appears
I don have any issues with this, i use this phone for work al i call at least 4 hours a days (work only) i haven't had this issue once
7. Mobile download speed is low when compared to stock ROM download speed
For me i don have this issue, i think it is faster than stock but it is close
if i find any other things i will update this post.
But i want to mention i am happy that i flashed this ROM. It is a relieve that this great device as a great ROM which it deserves.
so thumbs up for all devs @mikeioannina, @highwaystar_ru, @FireLord

Android P GSI - Status

Hello guys,
Tonight i flashed and worked on the Android P GSi on our Z2 Pro. As of now there are "only" some issues left which I'm working on.
Not working:
- Fingerprintscanner
- VoLTE
- Some chargers didn't charge (the original one is working, S9 charger doesn't work, same problem as some pixel users have)
Antutu Score is 163.000

Thanks a lot, those are good news. Hope you will solve at least fp issue without great deal of work needed. Fingers crossed.

Thank you bro.... :good:

How to fix fingerprint sensor on most devices:
Go to build.prop (vendor/build.prop) and look for fingerprint persist.qfp, if it says false, make it equal to true. Reboot. Go to setting and add a fingerprint and wait 1 minute after that the finger sensor should work as it was intended to Even after a reboot. Click thx (like button) if this method helped you. Cheers!

Hello, thank you for you courage to do it.
I also thought about it. But much more I read much unsure I was that it works.
Can you tell us how you done it?
Have you flashed P GSI image then the GSI image? (for A or A/B)?
What about the kernel?
Have you tried the tip from PrakarshRocks ?
Thanx in advance for keeping us in touch...

Hello guys,
I'm still working on/debugging the problem.
There was a problem with root on the gsi image. Now it's working. After work i will test the solution from @meDAem.
After some days of usage i can say it is way more stable than any other rom in the past for it's very early stage. I didn't have any fc's so far. Synchronisation is working perfectly, Google Apps are working.
And there is some progress which i reached on the weekend (can only do it when my gf is sleeping) but after some time the function of the fp disappears.

Now with telegram group to share results from android development.

Thank you very much for your contribution, I would like to ask when can you release it for us to use?

Advice ROM choice [G900F]

Hello,
as the object I would like an advice on the choice ROM for my G900F, no matter what version Andoid is, the important thing is that it is fluid, stable, light and low battery consumption.
Currently I have the latest stock firmware with root and TWRP.
I saw this ROM, what do you think? https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741302

You may want to try out AEX Pie, currently have it installed on my G900F, battery life is fine. Everything's working apart from the occasional WiFi (just unlock screen for it to turn back on automatically) or Bluetooth cutout (which is fixed by turning BT on and off). Barely happens, I'd give it a go if I were you.
Otherwise LOS 16.0 would be a good choice as well.
Camera's working 100% on both ROMs though I'd recommend the A2 camera (thread here on XDA) as it is nicer to use and the quality is slightly better.
