Issue with install apps from the app store or warehouse?
need to setup password in developer options
devel-su pkcon refresh
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
also since store is sometimes a bit meh, you can use
https://openrepos.net/content/basil/warehouse-sailfishos
best way to copy files onto device is through ssh, setup password in developer options
store is sometimes broken, you need to do devel-su pkcon refresh in terminal, need to set password up in developer options.
OTA - Over the Air update
Best way to update SailfishOS is by using an ssh connection to the phone.
Disable all patches and Openrepos repositories before updating.
Before updating use
Set desired release version, for example 2.2.0.29:
ssu release 2.2.0.29

Refresh the package cache:

Reboot the phone and enjoy the new release.
this wouldnt of been possible from the immense amount of help from the guys @freenode#sailfishos-porters
Really nice job! hope we can get all working in near future
Awesome cant wait to see stable build!

never tried it, didnt know we had a multirom stable.
on hammerhead it works fine as 2nd rom.
Holy crap this is awesome! I was waiting for a sailfish os port since I switched from my nexus 4. Is there a way for me (as an non-coder) to help you out somehow?
Oh and do you think it is possible that camera will work in the future or is this a missing driver code thing?

Yes there is a stable multurom on jolla kernel tread but in that case probably i will need to use the cm13 as primery rom to becouse of the vendor.
OMG a New Rom i don't know sailfish Os wow i go to try it
Thank you very much for your work
Really nice, sadly i need the camera for my work so i cant use as DD

the camera thing is a 32bit/64bit issue atm so i'll see were I get with it, am also messing around trying to get sfos working on a Huawei P9
No android apps at all, we have sfdroid, but its not working on cm13 as far as I know.
Very cool indeed, def hope this goes further. Remember it on N5 and was awesome
It's a nice ROM. But on my N5X the WiFi and Data isn't working.So sad.

That was my fault, issue with PARANOID_ANDROID. New image thats been upped should fix the issue
Ah... So it seems that its source is based on cm13 built in 161222, then should I use December mm vendor or January mm vendor?
(Sorry for my bad English...)

December probably.
And I know I'm bothering, but another question...
Is this rom doesn't contain boot animation? Cuz I saw cm13 booted well, but after flashing this over cm13 I can't see anything except google logo. Should I set my bootloader to the latest one?
6.0.1 (MTC20L) is what am using

Nice share.:fingers-crossed:
Just tested playing around for 10 min. works fine.
I don't know if I missed something but I followed instructions to flash the rom but after waiting for 1 hour, I couldn't get the rom to boot. This also happens on the Pixel Experience rom you shared in your original post.
I flashed Lineage OS 15.1 after trying and that rom booted after 3 minutes, so I think the issue is in the roms.
Is always on display included?

Are you on open beta 3 firmware? If so are you decrypted or encrypted. For me. It didn't boot while encrypted. But it did while being decrypted.
Same with pixel ex. If it doesn't boot in 3-10 min. Its not going to boot

Yeah I used Beta 3 firmware before flashing the rom. Managed to get it to boot after decrypt (format data in recovery)

Guys. Again from the same dev, nitrogen os.
Here's his work. I've not tested it on my device. If someone wants to test nitrogen os 8.1.0. U might need to be decrypted. Check if mist things work. Check if front camera works also. Gl hopes it works. Currently I don't have time to test it.

Honestly even 3 minutes is too long for a boot on this device. It's got 6 - 8 gigs of ddr4 ram with a snapdragon 835 - if the boot is taking longer than 1 minute I start to get worried about a bootloop. Usually it's a 15 - 30 second process on the first boot, and even shorter on reboots.
Am I crazy wrong about this? I swear my boots never take longer than a moment.

Format data in recovery then copy the ROM and Gapps to the device and flash. Should solve the issue. It did for me.
I sold my 5T. OnePlus are rumoured to go into administration soon over the company collecting and selling customer's data in China. Various members of the company have left, it was just this week that Adam Krisko from OnePlus left and he's one of the developers of Oxygen OS. It was a good wave for OnePlus.

And it is running pretty smooth so far, even the 'swipe up' in the homescreen feels more refined and less prone to open the whole app menu instead of the last used apps. One cool thing is the weather in the lock screen seems to be working, the testing continues but so far so good !

Magisk 16.4 beta for myself.
bad battery life
Hi Guys! Is it just me, or the battery life on this version sucks ?
I have almost only the half of the battery at end of the day compared to the previous preview version (and 8.1).
I don't think I use anything different, no new applications. Even using the same apps (like google news, chrome, plum) make the phone go hot.
Does anyone have the same problems?

I used it as a daily driver from release until yesterday. I only dumped it because my kids wanted me to play pokemongo with them and it wouldn't login on the beta. Aside from that one issue (and google pay not working) it was perfect.

How is the battery life for you guys so far?
Edit: Couldn't wait for an answer and flashed it anyway.
Working great so far. Battery life seems to be the same compared to Oreo. Few things I noticed:
1. As someone already mentioned here, the brightness levels must have changed somehow. I usually use my phone at 15 to 25 % indoors. Have to set it to 35 to 40 % now.
2. Weather doesn't appear on lock screen, but other people seem to be affected by this as well.
3. The back button (new layout) sometimes closes an app instead of going back within the app.
4. Fixed my problems with Smart Lock. It didn't work from time to time on Oreo. Now it's working fine.
All I first of all take NO CREDIT for this at all.
I found someome building Unofficial builds of Linageos 16 for the Essential Phone.

That may have to do with the version of magisk or the process you followed; I tried a LOS build many months ago on a v 15.1 and had the same issue with wifi
I did try to install this.
I have used cyanogen mod / Linage os since cm7.
this is the first time trying to install a rom on a android pie device.
does someone have step by step instructions on how to install twerp?
it used to be simple
1) Unlock BL
2) download TWRP for device
3) boot to bootloader / fastboot mode
4) fastboot flash twrp.img
but this nolonger works and the online directions I have found keep failing.

Dear members,
My Nexus 6 is in desperate need of some new life. It's been terribly laggy for the last year, and I can't buy a new phone right now.
I have very little experience with rooting, recoveries, kernels and other jargon words, and I really need your help!
What's the best combination of Kernel and OS at the moment? I was thinking about LineageOS 16 stock Kernel, but would like to be sure. Do I need root access?
Also, can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial to install what I need that can be done on Mac? I know you guys can probably get things done based on your experience and with little information, but I need a step-by-step or I will brick my phone.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!

Actually ROMs and kernels aren't a mix and match. Use the kernel coming with the ROM or be prepared for funny things to happen.
Lineage has a pretty straightforward step by step guide for installation: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/shamu/install
You don't need root - if you want it you can flash https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/su/20190709/addonsu-16.0-arm-signed.zip and enable it in the settings.

Depends of your definition of usability. Of cause it's slower then newer devices as shamu was developed in 2014.
But I still use it as secondary device for browsing and watching youtube. Also I am a bit biased as I am the maintainer for shamu on LineageOS. Maybe you should ask other users in the Lineage-16.0 thread.

My combination Is LineageOS with Magisk and NFS Injector module, i think it's your best bet to eliminate lags without tinkering too much, everything it's literally "install and forget"

Hi, thanks for joining the thread. I have no idea what a module is. Would you mind explaining and showing me where I can a tutorial to get it installed?
I use LOS16 and Franco Kernel with ondemand CPU module and this is really great. Almost no lags, but sometimes, once a week it will freeze and reboot itself, dont know why.

If you search on Google about Magisk, you can directly go where you can download the zip and you can install it immediately after LineageOS and Google Apps. Then, once you booted the device, from inside the Magisk app, you can install from its internal repository the modules you want to use, every one of them does something you can find useful I think. In the end, I recommend you NFS Injector module to have your device good as a new one in terms of performance. I hope to have everything cleared for you

Hi guys,
I came back here to give some feedback on what I have done.
I followed the instructions on the Lineage wiki link and installed Lineage OS 16. I kept it as simple as possible and didn't do anything besides that. No module, no magisk, no root, no TWRP. Just Lineage. It's not that I didn't want to go further, but I don't know enough about android to do it. Even just installing Lineage was kind of a challenge. It was not a smooth process, but I managed to do it.
In any case, it fews like an entirely new phone now. Lag has been reduced to almost none. It was almost unusable before and know it's actually enjoyable to use. Thank you very much for your help and to everyone that kept support for Shamu alive.
I did run into a few problems so far, but nothing really significant. The flashlight and camera sometimes won't work and need a reboot to come back (thankfully boot time is really quick now). The Netflix app also won't work anymore, but that's expected with no magisk, right?
If I wanted to go back and install magisk and a few modules, can I do that now without having to wipe the phone again? Or would I have to redo the whole process?
Thank you!!

No need to Wipe.
Just reboot to recovery and flash magisk installer ZIP.
Now reboot to system, and you see new Magisk App installed.
Just open it and install any of the Modules you want, just make sure to reboot after every Install/Update/Uninstall of any Module.

Thank you for answering. Do you mind telling me what a module is / what is it for?
Also, this is day 4 since I have installed lineage and I have already been prompted two updates. Is that normal?
I have just experienced my first crash / weird behavior today. I hope it doesn't deteriorate too much over time.

If you are using your Nexus 6 as a Daily Driver like Me, I would recommend you to install LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1) which is much more stable and responsive than LineageOS 16 (Android 9.0).
About updates it is fine, because LineageOS 16 is in active development and updates are released regularly, as compared to LineageOS 15.1 which is almost finalized and its updates are released every weeks/months.
About Module:
A module is a mod or a customization for your device which can be installed systemlessly(without modifying your android system files) using Magisk.

If you are using your Nexus 6 as a Daily Driver like Me, I would recommend you to install LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1) which is much more stable and responsive than LineageOS 16 (Android 9.0).
About updates it is fine, because LineageOS 16 is in active development and updates are released regularly, as compared to LineageOS 15.1 which is almost finalized and its updates are released every weeks/months.
About Module:
A module is a mod or a customization for your device which can be installed systemlessly(without modifying your android system files) using Magisk.
For Example: If you want to enhance your audio of the headphone you can install Viper4Android.

I am using it as a daily. For the last few days it's been really good. It was stock before and pretty much unusable. Do you think it's worth redoing the process to put lineage 15.1 on? I am not that confident with these things. I am at that point where I think "I can't believe I've done it and it's working". And if I redo it and screw things up I am gonna be furious I tried to fix what was not broken.

I will recommend installing LineageOS 15.1
I have installed this ROM for 2 months and never had any issue, even my battery is also bad but this ROM handles it very well.
I think it will worth installing.
I am using LinagesOS 15.1 with stock gapps and without any mod or Magisk.

My combination Is LineageOS with Magisk and NFS Injector module, i think it's your best bet to eliminate lags without tinkering too much, everything it's literally "install and forget"

Hi,
Coming back to share my experience. Lineage 16 was performing really well, but it got unstable after a few days. I was having 3-4 random reboots per day, mainly when scrolling through pages in multiple apps. The flashlight and camera also wouldn't work quite often and needed restart.
So I decided to take the advice given here and flashed lineage 15.1 (with mindthegaps, no root, no magisk). Performance isn't as good, but stability has been much better. No reboots so far. A few app crashes, but nothing major.
Once again I few like my phone has gotten new life and I will be able to squeeze a few more months out of it.
Thank you for all the replies to this thread. You guys helped a lot!

Is it stable for you? When I had 16 I would have random reboots in the two digits per day.
