[ROM][UNOFFICAL]LineageOS 13 6/11/2017

Installing it now, so far the progress bar in TWRP doesn't seem to show the progress of installing this file, didn't have that issue any other time. I'll update after everything gets done.
[edit]

So far everything seems to be working, as much as I can test anyway being a WiFi only device.

-As mentioned by Radic, the proximity sensor still isn't working.

Great work on this rom, by the way. I usually have more issues with the "working features" when using a custom rom. I installed lineage-13.0-20170326-UNOFFICIAL-x5.zip dirty cause that's the way I like it (I really didn't want to reinstall everything again).

The only issue I had with the last version (2-19) was the dialer rebooting the phone to a reboot lockup but I only had the 2-19 rom up and running for 48 hours. I was able to fix the dialer by going into settings, apps, gear symbol (in upper right), default apps, Phone app - set the "google dialer" to the default dialer and all worked after that.

The proximity sensor isn't working on this version but I'm not sure it was working on the 2-19 version. I will report back in the next 72 hours and report if I find any other issues or if I just didn't find any.

Again, thank you for such a great rom for this old tired phone.

Rock the Spock!

Ok guys, sorry that the last ROM turned into a turd. I finally had a chance this weekend to poke around and made some adjustments. I'd like some feedback on this one before I say it's good to go, but it's been OK throughout the afternoon for me. The previous ROM was so bad my phone was rebooting every few hours.

So far so good! No problems yet! Thank you so much for your work!

Still having issues with WiFi but I dirty flashed, anyone else do so & still have issues?


Dirty flashing seems to maintain the previous WiFi state. I'd recommend backing up your apps and running through a clean install.  If you still have issues after that I'll need dmesg and logcat taken shortly after a WiFi issue.

Ok this is wierd. I totally wiped my Boost LG Volt and installed this Lineage newest ROM from 3-26 then 6.0 GAPPS Pico from link then APN fix and then rebotted and after what seemed like forever it booted up and works fine. but when I later do a reboot or turn off/turn on boot up it seems like it takes 30mins to boot up which aint gonna work. Anyone else experience this? Guess Ill be going back to CM13. Really wanted to use this but such a long boot up time just too crazy for me.

I wonder if it cause I have the Boost LG Volt.

any help ?

Sounds like a bad flash. Try repairing the file systems (you will lose everything, make a backup on the sdcard) and flash again. If that doesn't work, try a flash without gapps. If flashing without gapps works then you got a bad gapps and should try another.

If none of that works then it's probably a hardware issue.

Ok tried all that same thing I guess its a hardware issue on the Boost version Volts because I think I tried this also on wifes Boost Voklt few months ago same thing real long time to boot or hangups in boot. Oh well.

Would there be a way to just get the android security update in CM13 to a more recent security update ?

I have the same problem on the Virgin Mobile LG Volt for the slow boot time. I could not find a solution nor could I find the reason behind it.

So if Boostmobile and Virgin Mobile Volt's are having this boot problem it must mean the ROM was made only for the native Sprint Volts.

Is anyone looking at this like the Dev ?
When I say a hardware issue I mean that your specific phone is likely having issues. If you collect a dmesg and logcat as soon as possible after booting I can have a look to confirm.
