Only thing that doesn’t work unfortunately is the Camera (only recording part).
Tried third party apps but those fail also. It fails directly after one second.GPS, apps, play store etc. works perfect and very stable.
So if you have a fix for the camera, that would be really great.
And if I check for updates in settings, it doesn’t work either.Thanks!!
June 6, 2017 at 12:09 PM #20678Linux UserParticipantAt first I thought GPS was working fine but it isn’t.. Really looking for an update.
Thanks againJuly 14, 2017 at 5:13 PM #23927Linux UserParticipantnot work tetchering wifi, and switch 3g/LTE.
LTE mode is always on, so you can not make calls.
Specify exactly which GAPPS to install because “Pico GAPPS” pops up “error 63” during installation.

October 30, 2018 at 4:57 PM #58320Linux UserParticipantHello folks!
I have a problem with Lineage 14.1 on my Huawei P8 lite (ALE-L21). I don’t have “Goggle Contacts” option after the installation and setup at ACCOUNTS/GOOGLE/..@GMAIL.COM. I have tried ALL versions of OpenGapps. Without success. During the installation you can see in some logs how Google Contacts will installed. Nevertheless it’s never available. I have used the following data:
TWRP v3.1.1.0 (afterwards also with TWRP v3.2.3-ksrl12)
lineage-14.1-20181001-alice.zip
Magicx_v7.1.zip
open_gapps-arm64-7.1-XXXXXX-20181030.zip (all versions)I had always started from scratch, including full wiping. The contacts were not included in any variant. What could be the problem?
February 4, 2019 at 5:34 PM #71947SibaKeymasterYou can anyway download the Google Contacts from playstore after installing GApps and loggin in using a gmail account.
