Good afternoon, I have a question. I installed the OS via ADB, then it asked me to reboot into recovery, and afterwards I installed the .zip file containing Google services via ADB; however, they aren't there when I start up the device. Is there anything I can do? My device is a Motorola G9 Play, in case that helps. Sorry for the bad English.
Hello! I started using LineageOS today. I wished not to use WhatsApp, but sadly don't really have a choice since I'll need it for work.
Upon trying to log in, I get prompted to "Download the official WhatsApp to continue". I already tried downloading the apk from their website, how can I fix this? Thanks in advance!
I am fully on Lineage and so far have not had to sign in to Google. However there remain 2 apps I am having difficulties avoiding the G.
Firstly, I spend a lot of time on YouTube especially on my TV. I've tried NewPipe but without being able to see the creators whose videos I follow it is all but useless.
My question is if I install YouTube from Aurora and sign into my YouTube account, will I be opening up the rest of my phone and it's data to Google? Or does Lineage and microG effectively protect me?
Related to that I have WhatsApp on my phone. It's just necessary and using Signal as an alternative would cut me off from family and friends. I've tried. WhatsApp requires a gmail account for backups although it works without, and I am backing up com.whatsapp. So same question as for YouTube above. Will giving WhatsApp my gmail details what am I opening my phone and myself up to?
I would like to get play store with my os, just wondering getting gapps will get me the Google app, drive, photos etc installed too?
Though I'm not complaining its still less boaltware than my oem manufactured is, but would be great if I only get what I want.
Want playstore for some games
I tried so hard to love LineageOS, but for some reason the operating system caused my proximity sensor on my sony xperia xz2 to always be enabled, essentially locking me out of my phone.
Thanks for all the fish.
Trying to figure out what's changed or if this is just in my head.
For some reason i prefer the screen colors on the lg v60 over note 20 ultra and some of the newer flagships.
I stopped using my lg v60 for about 2 years because i was having issues with the usb charging.
Previously i thought the screen was inferior to the note 20 ultra and other devices with superior screen resolution.
However, i wanted to upgrade again, but it seems like all the newer devices are downgrades in many aspects and way overpriced.
After installing Lineageos, it seems like the colors on the lgv60 and the viewing experience is much better imho.
Also feel like the phone is just as fast in my practical use as some of my newer phones.
Whats going on here?
Every time I turn on mobile data, which is several times a day, I get a warning message, and have to confirm it a second time. I never had to do this on Android 14. But now on 16 it is annoying the sh*t out of me. Is there really no option to turn this warning off? Its the same on Pixel 5 and Pixel 9.
Hi everyone,
Between Google Play Integrity API lockdowns, Apple App Attest, and upcoming eID/age-verification mandates, alternative and privacy-focused operating systems (like GrapheneOS, LineageOS, and Linux on mobile) are being systematically locked out of banking, public portals, and everyday apps.
Rather than watching vendor lock-in get worse, I am organizing a European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) working title: "My Device, My OS" to push binding EU legislation for Device Neutrality and Open Attestation.
Before submitting it we need 7 persons from 7 different countries in the EU to sign the draft
Join the Matrix room to discuss, collaborate on the draft, and coordinate next steps:
👉 #my-device-my-os:pollorebozado.com
Feedback, technical insights, and EU organizers are all welcome!
Any suggestion?

Hi
I have tried to install lineageOS onto a google pixel 9 and the install worked and the device boots.
Eventually i came across an error with the OS not allowing the installation of apk files or even attempting to sideload via abd.
i have attempted to use the factory reset/ data wipe in recovery and even reflash the rom with no success.
When i was installing the OS i only flashed and sideloaded when told to do so with the official installation guide.
when i attempt to sideload the zip for the Rom it prints text to the screen saying it coudnt mount several locations inside /metadata
Error: recovery: [libfs_mgr] Failed to mount /metadata: File exists
Error: recovery: [libfs_mgr] Failed to mount /metadata: File exists
Error: recovery: [libfs_mgr] Failed to mount for path [/metadata/ota]
Error: recovery: Cannot mount /metadata/ota
I have ran out of ideas on what to try
Any questions and help is appreciated
Solution:
1) Reboot into recovery (Hold down the volume down on boot (for pixel devices)
2) Inside LineageOS recovery select "advanced" and select "enable abd"
3) on a host system with the platform tools downloaded open
1) powershell on windows
2) terminal on mac or linux
4) With that set up verify the device is connected and seen using "abd devices"
5) access the abd shell by typing "abd -d shell"
!) If the path fails to run add ".\" to the start of the command it may look like this (.\adb -d shell)
6) with the shell now accesed wipe the frp by typing "wipe-frp"
7) if all is succesful reboot and it should be fixed
The moto g7 power is a supported phone, the moto g7 supra is the same phone but the supra isnt listed on the support list, is there a reason for that or was it not listed because it is basically the same phone?
Both phone have the same codename of "Ocean"
note, im not asking if the g7 supra will be supported in the future, its been out long enough that it shouldve been tested by now.
idk why they remove fonts or custom icons (on the status bar) like lineageos i think has less stuff then old cyanogenmod roms. any reason?? and no i dont want to use crdroid.
I just installed lineageOS on my old Galaxy tab A6 with android 12 on it. Any ideas on what to do with it? Or, was it a waste?
I've looked everywhere and couldn't find it.
So i have a tab s6 lite (2020 wifi version) and ive been wanting to get lineageos on this thing since its old and slow, ive been looking at countless tutorials for hours and i kept switching videos over and over and again because nobody has posted a video with clear step by step instructions and ive never done this before, can anyone can give a tutorial for dummies and help me out here?
After exploring for a long time, at least I couldn't find anything to change the font, only the color.
I am on Galaxy A21s, I want to install LineageOS with Mindthegapps as supported by the official wiki.
I wanna know if A21s can make calls after lineageos installion.
I use VI btw as the sim card while having Jio as my wifi, if that matters.
Termuxsudo fdisk -l
: many partitions!
Although e.g. postmarketOS has only 2 partitions: boot & root https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Partition_Layout ,
e.g. my PC Arch Linux KDE 4 partitions: ESP (EFI system partition), OS, swap, data.
Is it obfuscation?
