I just upgraded to [ROM]KOT49H【4.4.2】AOSP official Google Edition (AOSP Features)
Everything seems to work really well so far, and i love the feel of the ROM. However, i get the sense that my phone is dropping its signal much more than my old Android 4.3 build, and also that the signal strength both at home and at the office is quite a bit worse than in my old build.
Is this possible, and is there a way to try to improve the network connectivity?
Thanks!!
I'm having an issue that I don't understand and I'm hoping someone can help or at least explain what's going on. My phone carrier is MintSim which uses the T-Mobile network.
If I use OOS or any OOS based custom ROM I get a great phone signal--full bars in every room. If I transfer the sim to my Nexus 6P which is running Dirty Unicorns (an AOSP ROM) I get a great phone signal with full bars in every room. But if I flash an AOSP ROM on the OP5 my phone signal is poor to non existent. I have tried 3 different AOSP ROMs on the OP5 and I couldn't get a decent phone signal on any of them.
I've never run into an issue like this on any other phone. Can someone explain why this might be happening?
You shouldn't judge it by bars. Many manufacturers like oneplus and even samsung will make it look like you have full signal strength even though you don't. Roms usually report it correctly. Use a signal app and it should show the same signal strength in dBm

In Aosp I have two bars to none. I have also tried to make calls and was told the quality was poor. On top of that I'm using an Aosp ROM in my other phone and it shows the same signal strength as OOS. On all 3 Aosp ROMs I tried on the OP5 the signal was so unstable the signal bars never stayed the same for more than a few seconds.

I've never come across that issue on a previous phone. The only AOSP ROM I've gotten no complaints from people I called is Viper. The signal meter on the OP5 is really inaccurate on AOSP ROMs. I installed a signal reader app. It showed an excellent signal but I only had a couple bars according to the icon at the top of the screen.
did anybody able to figure this out, tried a lot of AOSP i think all of it, but signals just dropped out most of the time, followed flashing requirements on each ROM, went back to OOS stable 5.0.2 now 5.0.4 signals stick all the time, gps works perfect...just wanna know coz I still prefer AOSP esp the LOS 15.1.

It's been like that since OP3.
Will likely never be "fixed" at this point. Just get used to it, some recognized developpers declared it is only a "visual" issue.
I guess there is nothing to do about it...
I returned from LOS to OOS just because of that. It may be only visual, but would you ignore warnings on your cars engine? Bad signal means the phone tries harder to aquire it and it means more battery drain. I wouldnt really go with the statement its just a visual bug, especially on LOS where they have set the bar quite high in quality by themselves.
Hello guys.
I have my OnePlus 5 for one year. It works very well. I wanted to use custom ROM like ACIP or CR Droid ETC. I have service problem with CR Droid and ACIP where I lose my cell signal completely for 10 to 30 sec. But with liquid remix and pixel experience I don't have that issue. I tried updating firmware downloading different radios but nothing seems to work the problem is that I have to manually adjust the data setting 4 these rooms. 4 pixel experience and liquid remix I don't have to do anything and it works. I have a day off tomorrow so I'm going to be hoping if someone could help me because I really want to solve this problem and use ACIP or Crdroid.
Thanks

Do you have just visual issue that you can't see signal bars or you can't make calls.

Can anyone recommend a good lightweight stable daily driver right now ? I don't need much in the way to extra features, I've gone through a few roms lately and either get instabilities or sluggish performance after a couple weeks, just looking to run something fast and stable for the summer. Thanks
I have already tried many roms, from Android 8.1 to 10 and I think that the most stable and functional rom is Oreo AospExtended ROM V5.8 (by [email protected]). In combination with Pico GApps and Ethereal Kernel you can get smooth and reliable smartphone. Mido is old and not fast enought so there is no point to installing something heavier.
ROM's with 4.9 kernel look stable and very smooth.

Thanks I was thinking about going back to 8.1 anyway I've found the 10 roms kinda sluggish in comparison so far.
Using Aosip 10.0 for about 2 weeks now and can't complain.
lineage unofficial smooth as silk, thas the 10
Latest Pixel Experience Official for me, not the plus edition.
Reliable for my daily use.
It depends tho but i still recommend it, latest Pie version also rock stable but i like systemwide dark theme for my eyes ?
AEX 6.3 Pie Official For me. Cant even find a single bug. Amazing battery with franco kernel. No complains at all. Perfect GCAM. What else do you want in life

But that ROM hasn't been updated for a year now.
I also use AOSiP 10 for a couple of weeks now and it's perfectly stable and has a very good battery life

Does AOSiP has the LTE issue solved. That is the bug I have seen in majority of the Android 10 ROMs. I tried Havoc 3.6 - it was pretty great too, but due to this bug only I had to rollback to Pie.

Due to COVID I spend most time at home currently using WiFi but when I get out, LTE is working fine for me.
Which bug do you mean?

When I put my 4g volte Sim in slot 1, I can use mobile data perfectly but cannot make or receive calls. Call gets ended immediately when I try to make one. When I put my Sim in slot 2, then calls and sms work fine but data connectivity does not seem to work. Play store shows download pending for infinity.
And after you turn aeroplane on and then off, network won't work at all.
I have experienced this issue in havoc 3.6 and lineage 17 roms. And others are reporting that other android 10 custom roms have same issues.

I only have 1 sim card which is always in slot 1. Mobile data and calls (including volte) work.
Playstore is also fine. Apps start installing immediately
Make sure to flash the lastest firmware (I use global stable) before flashing the rom

Thanks for reply. But I already have latest firmware global stable 11.0.2.
I will try AOSiP rom soon to check.
At the moment I am using Zeelog's pure LineageOS 17.1 with 3.18 kernel. For this I install the underground kernel. So far Zeelog updates regularly and I can say for my applications it runs very well and also the battery life is very good with this combination.

Does someone have a fix to this? I have started experiencing this since the July patch on my PixelExperience as well. No data on slot 1 and no calls on slot 2. I am on Airtel.
Code:
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
Installation:
If you are on stock OS, you need a custom recovery first.
If you are coming from stock or other ROMs, you need to make a factory reset.
If you are coming from the official rom you can dirty flash from the last official lineageos version which is in this case 20200419
If you are coming from LineageOS 15.1 with f2fs userdata, you need to format the userdata partition!
As always, make sure to backup before installing this ROM.
Download link:
Google Drive (Unofficial latest security patch: 5 april 2021)
Google Drive (Official made by mikeioanna, since its deleted from the official lineageos site, last security patch 2020 May)
This is an unofficial build based on updated LineageOS sources and the same device tree made by mikeioanna and the other contributors, the only difference is that it has the latest security updates which in this case is the 5 april 2021 security update, and I will continue updating this until either android stops security updates for this version, or something major happens that breaks the build.
Is it stable?
Yes, for me it has been, even when dirty flashing from the official rom to this build. Battery life is good and there is no overnight battery drain.
Last change: 27-4-2021
Please dont report bugs even though I havent found any yet as im just posting builds using the updated lineageos sources, and im not an android developer.
Thanks very much.
Thanks a lot for the time and effort you put into that!
Thank you!

Is it stable?
YES this great ROM for Lenovo P2 is stable, there are no issues and works OK.
Downgraded from Lineage OS 17.1 (20210117) due to high battery usage.
Tested on Los 17.1 vs Los 16.0 (20210201 security update your edition) on a P2a42 with a 4 years old battery...
Config: Similar settings on both Los 17.1 and 16.0, NO gapps, No other apps installed and NO comms (OFF- wi-fi, bt, nfc and data -no sim) SOT 5-10 min only to check settings once; and didn't touch the phone for 24h in both tests.
On Los 17.1 (20210117) battery usage 14% in 24h and on your Los 16.0 only 8% in 24h.
HUGE difference in battery usage, almost half, (estimated stand by time is 14 days!)
@ simbanono
Can you have a look at my post on Lineage OS 17.1 for P2 forum and see what you think about my comments about FMRadio app permisions... on Los 16 vs Los 17.1. Could this permisions cause background CPU load and affect the battery drain?

Thanks for your great work for our phone!
I honestly cant tell, im not a developer, im only someone who prefers battery life over features, I wouldnt doubt you about the FM permissions, but I dont know for sure, all I know is that android 9 is still the best for battery life and am just dissapointed that most of the people go on the Android 10 bandwagon when battery life sucks for a phone based all around battery life.
TLDR: the only thing I do is use the latest Lineageos sources using the old device tree from mikeioanna which has worked out so far.
Also heads up: I will build every month (1st of the month) until it becomes too unstable for my liking.
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I also prefer long battery life over other features and it was one of the main criteria in buying this phone 4 years ago!
Great news I will follow up your example and use your builds, the phone works very well withou any issues so far.
Let's hope that on the new development Lineage os 18 the battery life will be at least as good as Lineage os 16.0.
Maybe there will be a lean and clean build Lineage 18 for testing / debugging without any extra apps such as players/radio etc.

Looking forward to security updates
Well I hope its still maintained since I saw 16.0 is being discontinued.
Even CyanogenMod 14.1 (Android 7/Nougat; https://review.lineageos.org/q/topic:%22n-asb-2021-02%22) still gets the security patches, LineageOS 16 has plenty of time left.

Has this project been abandoned?
I would welcome a new build every third month or quarter. Every month could be a bit ambitious...
Projects not abandoned and yes I was thinking about doing it every 3 months like you said, since I also dont need the latest security update every month.

Has anyone noticed that apps slow down after a long time use or is that just me? Need some feedback on that.

Hi,
I use your Feb 1 build for few weeks and I didn't notice any significant / noticeable diference in the phone speed / functionality so far. Battery life is at least as good if not a bit better than last official Los16.1 from April last year. I'm a light user.
Did not run any speed / SoT tests. (such as AnTuTu)
