Magisk Lineageos 20

[Heike Fallago]

Oneof the side effects of switching to LineageOS 17.1 is that a different method for rooting the phone is required. The OS stores its updates at \data\lineageos_updates in the root directory. Since each update is of the order of 0.5 GB, these will eventually take up all of the available free space on the internal storage of the Moto G3. However, the amount of free space can be managed by deleting old updates or moving these onto the micro-SDcard. But, the file cleanup can only take place if the user has root access.reviously, the LineageOS development team released the addonsu software package for rooting the phone. However, in developing LineageOS 17.1, the programmers were unable to port PrivacyGuard to the Android 10 code that forms the basis of the new software. PrivacyGuard had been used by the addonsu software package and its unavailability resulted in addonsu being discontinued. SuperSU, another rooting package I used previously, has not been recommended for use with LineageOS for some time. Consequently, the rooting software of choice at present appears to Magisk.

This method also simplifies the process somewhat since the installation of MagiskManager is not actually required. Rather, just Magisk itself (i.e. the file Magisk-v21.3.zip) can be installed using TWRP.

Previously, I was using a version of LineageOS 16.1 produced by user MSe1969 on XDA Developers. He has recently switched to Version 17.1, but is now only producing his hardened, microG variant. See: -developers.com/t/rom-unofficial-10-0-0-microg-signed-lineageos-17-1-for-motorola-g3-osprey.4218515/. He dropped his standard build (which I was using) as, going forward, there would be no difference from the build that the LineageOS team is now producing for the Moto G3. (LineageOS dropped support for the Moto G3 some time back and has only recently re-instated development for this model.) MSe1969 suggested that users of his standard build simply switch to the official LineagOS build. So, as the microG variant appears to be a bit different in a variety of aspects, and since the standard build did everything that I needed, I opted for the simple solution and am now using the offical LineageOS 17.1 build. See:

I have no problem taking a picture with HDR enabled on my phone. It takes and stores photographs just the same as with HDR disabled. The camera is the standard app included with the official LineageOS 17.1 build. It shows as being Version 2.02.037.

I have a OnePlus 7 Pro. I had LineageOS 17 (Android 10) with microG, magisk, and vanced on it running just fine for almost a year. I upgraded the Android version to 11 first (which LineageOS documentation says is a pre-requirement) then I upgraded to LineageOS 18, and everything seemed to work just fine. I can confirm that my recovery and wifi worked.

A few days later I wanted to open Vanced YT, but it was no longer installed, then I noticed that magisk was no longer installed. So I installed it according to it's instructions which was basically using the app to patch the boot.img I got from the extracted files (from a payload-dumper) and then installed the produced magisk_patched-24200_Y0Qmv.img.

Ever since then is my problem. I can no longer turn on my wifi, I no longer have recovery mode, and every time I turn on/reboot the device I am greeted with a "System UI Crashed" error message. I can hit ok and everything else seems to work as expected. With the exception to my wifi not being able to turn on

After that when it rebooted, everything worked as expected with one exception; GCam. But I think this is related to the LinageOS upgrade. I was able to fix this by re-installing microG and upgrading to a newer version of GCam. All other original issues where cleared though. Wifi, phone, etc.

Tonight I upgraded Lineage on one of my devices but after flashing magisk I got stuck in a bootloop. The fix was quite easy once i figured out that it was probably not magisk itself but one of my modules that was incompatible with the new OS version.
