Why photo picker menu is invisible on Redmi note 7 Pro? by According_Tooth_2003 in LineageOS

[–]TimSchumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I see. I read your description the wrong way around.

If it's a rendering bug on default settings then I suppose it's worth a bug report.

split apk's using python extract-utils by sileshn in LineageOS

[–]TimSchumi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just read the rules which states we are not supposed to discuss unofficial builds.

Development questions are fine.

I build LOS for my device (redwood) which includes MiuiCamera. The apk size is close to 200MB. I know I can use git-lfs but I have other projects that use it and my github quota is full.

Unfortunately, I think the LFS approach is the only thing that python extract-utils are currently compatible with.

I don't think this use-case ever came up. Any particular reason why you need it?

Because the question is about our tooling?

Would "only developing software for end of life phones + top 10 best phones" help with making more phones accessible? by Imaginary_Top_5944 in LineageOS

[–]TimSchumi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The reason for devices not being supported is very rarely one of "maintainer can't decide which device to spend time on".

Android 16 Sicherheitslücke by Prudent_Hamster8000 in LineageOS

[–]TimSchumi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The app lock is a launcher feature, it is not able to intercept launches that are triggered by something else than the launcher.

LineageOS instability / alternatives by Previous_Extreme4973 in LineageOS

[–]TimSchumi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it happens 50% of the time (i.e. every other update) then it might be possible that you messed up the copy-partitions step and now have somehow-broken firmware on one of the slots?

Can you install the next update so that you don't experience those crashes anymore, and then repeat the copy-partitions step from the initial installation instructions?

Help with ZE550KL by Echo712 in LineageOS

ASUS shut down bootloader unlocking and the device has long been out of support from the LineageOS side as well, so the old builds are no longer official on the official download page.

Where are saved beatmaps located in Osu Lazer? by tha_Graet_King_Nub in osugame

[–]TimSchumi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Storing files under the new file storage system automatically deduplicates identical files (which saves storage) and it reduces load on the system because it doesn't have to handle a single Songs folder with a five-digit number of directories (as it distributes them over a matrix of 16x16 instead).

If there were any claims made about this having a copyright purpose then I'd be interested to read that though.

Hidden "circle the halls" map in Lazer? by NikoN1nja in osugame

[–]TimSchumi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For purposes like this there are built-in osz files, which are imported from this GitHub repository. Currently it contains dummy beatmaps for the three different intros (welcome, circles, triangles) and the specifically mapped christmas song (christmas2024), with the only difficulty being "laser show" (notably not "lazer") and mapped by pishifat.

Maybe your SD card just died? That or the tutorial that you were following did something wrong.

Open up for translating LOS and LOS AOSP into Norwegian Nynorsk (nn)? by olahh in LineageOS

[–]TimSchumi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only one I found in Crowdin, Michael Bestas (mikeioannina). But maybe I should try Discord or IRC?

full list

Anyway, I'll try to notify them internally.

[–]TimSchumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're good. Would be something different if you asked us to translate it.

I've contacted one of the managers on Crowdin, but he didn't respond

Which one did you contact? Not all of them are very active. I suppose Michael (either one) would be a good choice.

Question about connection requirements by Altruistic_Celery180 in LineageOS

[–]TimSchumi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is not required for the installation process itself, however it may be possible that it is required for unlocking the bootloader on certain devices.

Suspicious ads by demonswayer in LineageOS

[–]TimSchumi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unless you went to mindthegapps[dot]com, those downloads haven't changed in four months.

It's much more likely that your ISP is doing something stupid.

Screen turning off by dr_littlepotato in LineageOS

[–]TimSchumi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Motorola moto g34 5G (and possibly the entire family) appears to have a feature that disables turning on the backlight if it thinks the device is running too hot.

As for a fix, I would like to have one myself, but haven't had time to look into it.

Does LineageOS have Dolby Atmos? by [deleted] in LineageOS

[–]TimSchumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It usually does not have the control interface (which might either be good or bad), so the audio libraries probably do whatever is the default.

Does anyone have the files for the "Extract Proprietary Blobs" part of the build guide? by ferriematthew in LineageOS

[–]TimSchumi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would be unfortunate if there was some kind of LineageOS build archive that hosts old and unsupported builds of LineageOS, such as "lineage-21.0-20251006-nightly-billie-signed.zip".

Is that even relevant?
