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...

a solution
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.
Hey guys, this is my 1st post so if I'm doing anything that I'm not supposed to or posting in the wrong area, please say so.
Ok, so, I used to have Android phones back in the day, since 2.2-2.3, then 4.0-4.4 and still used custom roms to update my mom's Moto G 1st Gen, from 4.4 to 7, but I manly used iPhones ever since 2012 and the easy jailbreak life made me kind of lazy - all of the process of jailbreaking and installing tweaks was very easy.
Now I'm back into the Android world with a Moto G4+ and I've already unlocked the bootloader and installed a few of the available custom roms, but none of them were actually stable enough to use in a daily basis so I got back to the stock rom.
Now I'm downloading LineageOS (that's the rom I also used to upgrade my mom's phone) and I got a few questions about it (since I can't post them on the official thread):
- can I enable the notification LED?? I can't do that in the stock rom but it worked really fine in the cypherOS rom.
- is there any option to disable the soft keys and use the fingerprint sensor as these buttons?? I mean, some kind of gesture, like the VirtualHome tweak in iOS, when a touch equals to home, a double tap to multitask etc. Just saw that the G5 will have some gestures in the FP sensor that will replace the soft keys, so a port of this feature would also be good.
- is this rom already rooted or do I have to install something else??
- is xposed working?? I actually found one article about it in the G4 but it was for MM and then I didn't find anything about it in N.
Sorry for my dumb questions, I swear I was going to read all of the official thread but when I was in the 9th page I saw that there was 294 total pages and then I gave up. :crying:
[EDIT]
imgur . com/9t1zK4M
imgur . com/BvDf0Uh
OK so, answering my own questions (at least a few):
- the LED is enabled by default I'm in heaven;
- THERE IS a default option to use the FP sensor as home button AND another one as to place multitask screen to show up by double pressing the home button. With this two options I am able to use the FP sensor at it's full potential (in my humble opinion) BUT as you can see in the images I am able to hide the softkeys only in a few parts of the system, it still shows up when you pull down notification center and also when you open up the keyboard. It's very annoying. I guess this question is still up.
- I think it's rooted by default thank you very much.
To your xposed question: no, there's no xposed for nougat out yet

It won't come back. If you mean a screenshot where you see "themes", then it is with substratum. Themes appears in settings after installing substratum. It has nothing to do with CMTE.

hi, I'm trying to reuse this old phone as an IP camera, and I want to flash a less bloated ROM than the one I have.
Does anyone have a valid download link for this ROM please ?

Hi, I am using a CyanogenMod 11 Build since years and it is very stable and battery saving. But it is not up to date with security patches. I don't know the source anymore, but here is a copy of the image I have installed:
cm-11-20160115-SNAPSHOT-XNH0E0O00N-i9300
mega DOT nz/file/CbhSUABI#8jEq0_Uf45g31ECE3YhqUUvkxdGH6Xa5HQFzMzZjxvk
Sorry for that link, I have not enough posts at the moment.
There is a camera bug. The "Camera Restarter" App helps here. But sometimes it takes multiple tries to get the video recorder working.
From time to time I give a chance to LOS 14.1, but there are still bugs, I won't live with.
the stock one.

Hi.
I don't know why, but information about unofficial release of LOS never have been posted here. If there's some legal issues, just delete my post. I have 18.1 running perfectly on my nitrogen. Maybe this is good moment to revive some of our old big nitrogens
Enjoy. It's really great.

I've just installed it myself - the latest JoysKo version from 4pda.ru. Have not tested it thoroughly, though. Will report more soon. But...
GCam works. After having tried some two dozen versions (which either stopped immediately or did not install at all), I used MGC_6.2.030_FinalRelease_Bulkin043_V9Q, which is known to work on AOSP-9 based custom roms. I am not entirely sure it's perfect, but the basics work. (One may have to change the saving location, though.)
The only issue so far once fully booted - but I barely tested it - is that I seem to have deep sleep problems with third-party launchers (Nova, Lawnchair 2 etc.); Trebuchet works. It does not seem to be caused by widgets - but I need to explore more.
Another problem is common from AOSP9-based 3rd party roms: sometimes, on rebooting, the phone gets stuck (the "Unlocked" logo phase). A simple restart resolved it.
I have not sorted out passing SafetyNet yet (Magisk props fingerprints are apparently not enough).
Happy to report the terrible scrolling issues plaguing AOSP9-based roms here on XDA are completely absent.
Finally, battery life, even without deep sleep, is very good.
How did you recognized deep sleep issue? I am currently running Lawnchair 2 having 94% deep sleep while screen off.
Maybe it's gapps issue/play services? I am using open gapps test version for 11.

Same gapps here. I use Accu Battery and it reports it. I have the same problem if very unreliable sleep on two other phones using los18.
This thread deserves more views. I happened to try the android 11 based Havoc rom from April 2021 and it runs smooth. Everything works perfectly, and I've been using it as a daily driver for the last week.
Thank you JoysKo!
If anyone can point me how to replace the stock cam with gcam- it would be much appreciated!
Voretmv said:
Congratulations on your work. I have this Rom installed on my Mi Max 3, and I am very happy.

I tried the more recent versions of LOS uploaded by JoysKo and reverted to 0124. For me, it's the best. With the 2 others I had janky scrolling, malfunctioning gestures.

With the LOS 20210124, I just installed one of the few working gcams. Specifically 6.2.030 Final Bulkin043 V9Q.

I tired several that did not. Works for me on Lineage-18.1-FORK-vanilla-20210124-nitrogen-JoysKo, though. (I installed both newer versions of the ROM and as far as I remember it worked on them too - but I replaced them later.)
Thank you so much for this thread. Installing Lineage is like a walk in the park like this. The only problem I come across is when I want to play back videos in some apps or Chrome. I get errors like video can not be played and SOURCE_STREAM_TYPE_NOT_SUPPORTED. I think this might be a firmware issue or is there another solution available?
Hello together
With last Lineage OS 18.1 fork-vanilla I've problems with loosing fingerprints after a while and GBoard-function with full NikiGapps is buggy.
Now I'm back to preversion and fingerprint problems are solved. Only changing to GBoard was not so good idea

I installed arrow and Los but all meet same problem. The message can not be received. Try to install global FW+ vendor at first but Stuck on the boot screen . Any good suggestion?
Hi, I was also very pleased to see Lineage on the Mi Max 3, still using this device due to the large screen I love.
Has anyone exerperienced bluetooth connection issues?
It connects to my speaker and then immediately disconnects and of course then wont play any music?
ROM version I used is lineage-18.1-20210608-nitrogen-experimental-PRGroup.zip
Any known fix as yet?
Previous versions do not have bluetooth issues like this?
Thanks.

Update on this bluetooth issue....
I have wiped and installed this rom now
Lineage-18.1-FORK-vanilla-20210124-nitrogen-JoysKo.zipall works fine now....
still interested if anyone has a resolution to the BT issue though?
The latest of the latest versions of Lineage 18.1: https://t.me/MiMax3Update/211
Many problems have been fixed in it. It is advisable to install cleanly...

Thanks. Got it from Telegram a few days ago. I can confirm it works great. Better than the January version, which was the best before in my view. Do try to install from Orange Fox, however, not TWRP.

Stock Android 9 ROM for now.
I would like to switch to an Android 11 Custom ROM, but since it's my daily driver phone, I wouldn't encounter bugs or problems with banking apps or camera.
Any suggestion for Pixel-like ROM so much stable to use it everyday?
The goal is to make the best use of the phone's hardware features, as well as being up-to-date, you will never go back to the phone's ROM stock once you try it. I suggest you use one of the ROMs

Thanks for making this thread.This should be the most important topic on this forum because Mi a2 stock rom is really bad due to last updates.I thought the result will be very helpful.The results make me even more confused now.As I see LineageOS has troubles with gcam modes and Pixel Experience is discontinued.I'm trying to find the most secured and stable ROM for my device with a working Gcam(the_dise) and banking apps.So which one is the actual winner?

In fact none of them, I think Lineageos and unuficial Pixel Experience are suitable for everyday use
Of course, it is mentioned that some features do not exist, such as the Gcam 5 and Twrp
Pixel-based ROMs are also not very stable and have problems
I suggest you try these two; PPUI and Pixel extended
A good Android 10 ROM is undoubtedly Paranoid5
