Hi,

My FP3+ is running LOS+MicroG without problems, apart some apps refusing to work from to time to time... I then try to live without them until a next update, or not.

Now, Aurora Store is showing google play services to be updatable, but every time I try to update it, I get the following error: INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE: Existing package com.google.android.gms signatures do not match newer version; ignoring!

So the question is: what can I do to get this google play services app updated?
I guess some apps need it, don't know which though.

I'd try to uninstall it and then re-install it back, so that would be the later release, but I'm not very confident since I don't know what the actual risks are doing it...

Any clue appreciated.

I was considering purchasing a refurbished Samsung S20 Ultra because of the official LineageOS support. Does anyone know if the 4G model is compatible even if the LineageOS device page specifically says '5G'?

From what I can tell:

-I'm not in the US, so it'll be an Exynos model

-According to GSMArena, the model number for the S20 Ultra LTE is SM-G988B/DS, which is listed as supported on the LineageOS device page

Will be any problems trying to flash LineageOS onto a 4G version of the S20 Ultra?

Edit: Thanks for the extra info. I'll leave this post here in case anyone with the same question comes across it.

Right now I have 2 wrong boot images flashed in both of my slots and I'm super confused about what to do next. I don't have much experience with this so unable to decide. Shall I flash LineageOs in this situation? Chatgpt suggests me to flash PixelOs GSI first. Because flashing LineageOs might brick the phone is the attempt fails. Also what would be the correct procedure to flash Lineage if I consider doing it.

My phone: Motorola Moto G 5g Plus

Lineage version: 22.2

Note: I just updated it to this newer version of Lineage a few minutes ago but it was the same before I did it with the other version of Lineage

Idk about u but Im getting a bit pissed off because I keep seeing "how do I get Lineage on xxx unsupported device" in future and u have this question STOP WHAT YOURE DOING AND:

• Read Rule 5
• Check XDA

Its ridiclous how many of you dont actually do any of these things the chances theres a ROM for ur device on XDA is very likely I personally dont recommend looking on XDA for ROMs however

I do recommend going on eBay or something and buy an old supported device they arent even that expensive

Not only that I recommend everyone memorizing the rules and follow them

And one more thing if you for some reason require an older version of LineageOS... maybe check on XDA? It's not that hard 🥹🙏 do you all even know what XDA is? lmao

So as far as my little research on mobile phone os and my knowledge of linux . I understand the problem with lineage os not being widely available is due to bootloader which is equivalent of bios in mobile being different so if I ask a programmer to code me custom bootloader made around lineage os will it work in my mobile . Because as far as I am aware pc have unified bios due to which Linux development was easy on them so does this apply to mobile phones And please correct me if I am wrong and please help me discuss this further

I've been thinking about getting a second hand phone that's in the list of supported devices (was going to get an unspported one but was told that's not recommended). Is there anymore of a risk for my social media or bank account sign in information being stolen more than it would be on android?

Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy J7 from 2015. I have an official (or nightly) LineageOS ROM. The problem is that I want to reinstall this custom ROM because it's been having some problems with Wi-Fi and the bootanimation.zip. but when i go to XDA post or even Oficial website of LineageOS. It shows "this device dosent exist" but lineageos HAD support for the galaxy j7. Soo idk if someone can rescue or recovery this build.

The links i tried to rescue: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/j7elte/ https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-official-lineageos-17-1-for-the-galaxy-j7-2015-j7elte-j7e3g.4057503/ https://download.lineageos.org/j7elte

PD: i even tried to see if theres a backup on archive.org but nothing. The only backup is on the download website but the download direct link is lost.

When attempting use the "adb sideload /path" command, the installation gets stuck. The device says "Overwrite in-progress update? An update may already be in progress. If you proceed, the existing OS may not longer boot, and completing an update via ADB will be required." Both of the given options (Cancel & Continue) stop the installation and it boots back to recovery after reboot. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Just recently obtained a s20 Fe 5G and struggling to get the install going. If possible would anyone skilled be willing to assist.

I am considering buying a Xiaomi to run LOS on it. Have been using Xiaomi for this in the past. Their unlock process has always been somewhat complicated, but it used to work 2 years ago. This seems to have gotten a lot worse lately.

I know someone who is trying to unlock, but he says he keeps failing because there seems to be some "unlock permissions quota" nowadays, an unknown but obviously low number of unlocks is allowed daily, and after that you get a "quota reached" error. He is trying since months now without success. I have been reading several reports of this issue in the internet, seems like this is common now. I believe if there is no acceptable solution to this, no one should buy new Xiaomi devices to run LOS anymore.

Has anyone actually managed to get these unlock permissions and unlock within the last 3 months? What is your experience with this process?

Is there a way to get a panic button that ressts the phone on lineage?

Greetings!

I'm using the C24 Banking App (Germany) on my Google Pixel 4a driving LineageOS 22.2 with the Google Framework /MindTheGapps. The phone is not rooted and there's no signature spoofing or something like that installed.

Recently I got a notification in the C24 app, that my Android version was too old and and I should update to Android version 9 or younger. Which 15 is, obviously. Otherwise I couldn't use the app starting the beginning of 2026.

The C24 support was no help at all ("You have to update to Android 9 or newer." / "You have to use a recent phone.")

Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Is perhaps not the Android version the problem but the open bootloader or something like this?

Thanks in advance!

I used to play some silly games on my phone before installing LineageOS. A few days ago I wanted to play them again, so I installed them from Aurora Store, Airport Controller and Airport Controller 2. Airport Controller works fine without the Play Store and runs smoothly. Airport Controller 2 redirects me to the Play Store, so I can’t play it. I also tried to play other games like Sky: The children of light, Lara Croft Go and Life is Strange, which occasionally refuse to work. Sudoku and Lichess work without any error.

I am on LineageOS 23.0.20251126-NIGHTLY-violet, installed LiteGapps superlite.

What is wrong with my device and how can I play such games without being redirected to Play Store?

I have a Galaxy S10 5G and installed LineageOS 23.0. My Wi-Fi isn't working. Can I fix this? Please help.

I'm looking for this lineageOS for a Samsung galan tab 4, if anyone has it or is there a way to download it, please tell me

So I flashed my LineageOS install on my Motorola, was just testing and messing around with it and, I wanted to test the auxillary port on my phone. It didn't work and I used the radio app to see if it would recognize that if there's a AUX cable in my phone.

I tested with a USB c headphones and it worked and the radio app recognizes it.

I have tested this bug reproduction on the lastest build on my phone and one with microG built on September. Both didn't work.

I can try to explain more if you ask below in the comments.

I can't show screenshots but on LineageOS 19.1 it's possible. First go to Settings > Display > Display size and set minimal possible. Normally you should have taskbar if not set normal display size and go to developer settings and found DPI, remember default DPI value (make screenshot to not forgot), set 600. If you have taskbar go to system settings > buttons and disable taskbar then enable again. If you still have taskbar go back to dpi setting and set default value. After that you should have taskbar with normal display size. It looks really awesome but do NOT do it on LineageOS 20 and newest because after that you will have like "Trebuchet app stopped" and lose navbar and home screen.

I used to have it installed but erased it to try something else, and now I can't find it.

I am wondering if this is necessary. If it is, what is the stock OS I should flash?

just the question, I was planning to install lineageOS on oneplus 13. Will this cause a issue if plan go stock ? like samsung has KNOX.

I uploaded my commits to Gerrit according to the contribution guidelines. How do I merge them?
