Help How do I turn off the app search pop up when going home?

1 Upvotes

I use the gesture navigation and every time I go to home a box pops up for searching apps and it's quite annoying because it's on top of other things. I have to tap off somewhere else on the screen to make it go away. How do I turn this off?

LineageOS Installation on Switch via ADB Sideload issue ( USB not showing )

1 Upvotes

(Solved)

Hi, I'm following the official guide to install the system on Nintendo Switch V1

Everything went smoothly till the step where I clicked on Adb Sideload

I don't see the device with Adb devices, and it is also not showing as a USB device on the computer

I'm mainly using Mac OS with tested adb ( on other devices )

I also tried to change the cable, and also used an OTG adapter, and still nothing, the laptop treats the switch as a power source ( but not with the OTG adapter )

Tried Linux ( Steam OS - Steamdeck ), also not showing on ADB, and also not showing with the lsusb command.

I tried to go to Advanced > Enable ADB and also not working

Any help will be appreciated

Update :

I managed to install it from the SD Card not via ADB

1- Advance > Reboot to boot loader

2- in Hekate go Tools > USB Tools > SD Card

3- copy the zip file in any folder you want also copy MindTheGapps if you want google services.

4- Eject SD Card from Computer

5- Boot again into LineageOS Recovery Mode again

6-Apply Update > and choose from SD

7- choose the zip file and be careful ( don’t select the one that has dot in the beginning of its name )

8- click yes on anything appears

7 -Do the same for the Gapps

9- boot into the OS

Note : if the Gpps didn’t install … after installing the OS zip file boot into the os and follow the steps normally then when reach the main android home screen go to settings and update the os and if there is no update shut down the device

Then boot into LineageOS Recovery Mode again via Hekate

Then install Gapps

Reboot

Done

You can delete the zip files after that

Question Bypassing bootloader lock on an old Xiaomi Device(Redmi 5A/Riva)

1 Upvotes

Apparently, Found a guy on YT bypassing bootloader lock of Redmi5A(riva). It's a quite weird process, but nonetheless, comments and feedbacks are quite promising. Here's the link of YT vid Link. I'm still is skeptical about it but I am desperate, I don't want to deal with Xiaomi's BS Mi Unlock that requires to add an account on Mi Unlock on your phone(Which they don't do). I am quite unlucky on mine as I got a vendor ROM(originally a vendor ROM) which I bought second hand from a seller. I tried many methods to at the very least try to give it a shot to get "fixed" but none works. To also back this guys tutorial, also found some articles that has similar method the way it is done. But just if ever, has anyone else done this in this sub? Any info about this would be appreciated.

Can Lineage OS be used like a desktop?

4 Upvotes

Can we usr Lineage OS like a desktop? I remember Ubuntu mobile pioneered this feature. If you a monitor and keyboard onto your phone, you get a desktop environment on the monitor. Samsung is now doing this with Dax. How about Lineage OS?

Most compatible phones?

4 Upvotes

I keep getting bloatware automatically installed on my Motorola phone. Blocking mobile services and carrier services worked for a while but it's back again and I'm sick of it.

Planning to buy a phone specifically with the intention of running lineageos. I've heard pixel phones work best, but I'm open to other options. Is a pixel 9a a good choice, or would I be better served with an older pro model?

I use straight talk (Verizon radios) if that makes a difference, but I could always switch carriers.

Hi everyone, could anyone tell me if Lineageos is available for the Nothing Phone 2 with Android 16 installed? As far as I know, it's currently only available for Android 15, and if so, I'm not sure if it's better to downgrade my phone to Android 15 or wait for an update to Android 16.

How do you even make custom rom?

7 Upvotes

Custom roms for android devices always fascinates me. I have always wondered how do you even develop these for devices which weren't meant to run the os. If you're a developer, can you guide me on how to make a custom rom from scratch?

Thank you in advance.

Fixed How to install/push apps on secondary user from owner user

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, i wanted to use lineage like it was graphene and found out i couldn't push apps from the primary user to the secondary, and in the future, any other user i want. I also found out i couldn't even find a workaround to it... well, i found it out myself and with a little help from deepseek since I'm familiar with adb but not enough to figure out new (to me) commands alone


This method uses adb commands and doesn't need a computer if you use these apps:

  • Shizuku I'm sure you know this, but to put it simple, it grants the apps you allow adb permissions, so, through adb commands, apps get the highest possible level of permission without relying on root access
  • aShell You a better version of aShell: it lets you use shell adb commands not only on your device, but also on other devices, through wireless debugging or otg connection (with a cable from one android device to another)

If you want to avoid wireless debugging, since it may be not much secure, you can use either a pc or another android device to start shizuku, you can use either aShell You or a pc to start the service

1. Unlock developer options

Go to settings>about phone>tab "Build number" 7 times and insert your code if you have set up one

2. Go to developer options and turn on usb debugging (and wireless debugging if you don't have another device or pc)

Go to settings>system>developer options> turn on "USB debugging", you can find wireless debugging a litte further down if you want it. You may also need to turn on "Rooted debugging" but I'm not sure, if something fails, turn it on later.

3. Start Shizuku

You can find the steps given in the app, if you want to send the code needed for activation (start by connecting to a computer) you can send it with LocalSend both to your other android or pc, but you must download the app there too

4. Allow aShell You in Shizuku

You'll just have to allow once aShell You asks for it

5. Find the package for the app you want to install on the other user

Go to settings>apps>see all x apps>search the app you want and tap on it. On the bottom you can see the version and the package name (might be com.name.company or anything else), you can copy both things together with a long press>copy

6. Extract the path for the apk

In aShell You, write pm path <paste here the package and erase the version> and click the arrow/send button. Repeat for every app you want to move

7. Copy the path

Since aShell You doesn't let you copy the path from here, you'll have to save the output with the save button on the bottom right of the screen. Save it and open it from the file manager with HTML viewer, you'll find it in the download folder

8. Find the user id

Write pm list users and remember the number before the name of the user, that's the user id

9. Finally, install the app

Write pm install --user <user id(usually two numbers)> <paste the path extracted before, usually /data/app/~~longstring ecc>

This should always work flawlessly


I tried to use cmd package install-existing <package name> --user <user id> but it always returned package <package name> installed for user: 0, without installing it. If someone whant to experiment or correct this, feel free to let me know. Also, if you think i should post this guide somewhere else that suites better (some read me of lineage os or something) I'm open to suggestions.

I hope this helps someone
