Lineage 14.1?

To all devs out there. Is anybody able and willing to port lineage to the p10?
For what purpose? P9 is one year on the market and Lineage is in development since December - and still there is no usable version. Huawei is not helping, Nougat kernel source is still not released. With P10 will be exactly the same
better privacy protection? installed afwall+ and saw there a huge wave of outgoing data to google, somwhere to china and many other companys. xposed would also be very welcome instead of lineage and at least xprivacy
i still do not use the p10 as dayli driver untill xposed and xprivacy are ready for Nougat. my current phones run only on resurrection remix mm with xposed, xprivacy and afwall+, without gapps. it is very interesting to see where the apps are willing to connect all over the world. xprivacy allows me to restrict the contact to not really necessary services.
protecting my privacy by using android is my highest aim.

You are right, but this is not answer for my question. Why any devs should deal with this, if it is probably impossible to make it usable with all stock feature, like it happened with P9? One of the main reason of buying P9 (and now P10) is quite unique camera - and this feature is still not working and probably won't in the future...
the not working camera at lineage cross over many different devices is one of the biggest chalenges of our time in android. as you said is it google who seems to be not willing to release the nougat kernel source. as an owner of a samsung galaxy alpha, modpunk as the dev for lineage for this device seems to be one of a few devs who managed to let the camera working properly.
it seems that the camera was you personal reason to buy the p10. in my case the camera was not the reason. every top smartphone of our time has a proper working camera on stock os.
why should a dev deal with this? because it could be a very interesting chalenge?
Xposed installer from dvdandroid will install the systemless magisk xposed on the VTR-L09

Custom rom with Android Auto and fingerprint working

Hi all.
Android Auto
Unfortunately I can't find any roms with Android Auto working. The app can't detect the "draw over other apps" permission and can't start. Some people confirmed multiple times this is not an issue of mine. I report the issue to many devs and maintainers but they have never fixed. Since I can't try all XDA roms, do you know any rom with Android Auto working?
Fingerprint working with financial apps
All roms I tried, except for Personal LineageOS 15.1 by @Ham3r, have issues with fingerprint. Financial apps like PayPal (and many others) don't let me use fingerprint because of an issue with SEpolicy, which can be fixed with literally one line of code.
I'm looking for a rom without these 2 annoying issues. I can give up on Android Auto but the fingerprint is really important.
Thank you!
It's seriously tiresome that no focus has been given to Android Auto - it works perfectly on Nougat, if you were wondering.

Is there ANY rom for the MI 9 that works correct with Android for Work profile?

My company uses the the VMWare HUB application to provide email ect to personal devices. That app uses the Android for Work profile to create a second workspace on the phone. With the MIUI software this is broken because there is way to much customization done to Android. With other roms i run into different issues which is due to the GAPPS not working (not correctly signed / trusted). So for my MI 9 there is no option to get the Android for Work profile working as far as i know. Some XIAOMI.EU roms kinda work, but not really reliable or always with some bug / limitation.
So.... is there anyone else that tried Android for Work on a Xiaomi phone? And got it to work?

The opengapps work just fine with Android for work. I've used them (nano) with custom roms like Omnirom with no issues at all.

Ok, good to know. I see it creates some apps in the profile but not the play store, so i suspected some issue there.
Wrong forum section.

persist.camera.switch.aux=unknown

What is purpose of this prop? It appeared after android 10 update. I could not find any information about it but I cannot use second rear camera with any third party apps. I tried changing camera.aux.packagelist, vendor.camera.aux.packagelist, persist.vendor.camera.expose.aux, I also added persist.camera.expose.aux but apps still can't detect second rear camera. Does anyone know values of prop in the title?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: persist.vendor.camera.switch.aux=unknown
If you want to use the second cam on the rear you need different things:
1. A gcam that can switch between cams like the latest The_Dise version here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-the_dise/#apk1549
2. You also need the Magisk module to enable the auxiliary buttons. You can download this from within The_Dise's gcam or from here directly: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/dmgcaux_v1.zip
3. You need a ROM that can handle it. It didn't work on stock for me, but on Pixel Experience it works.
All and all it was not worth the trouble in my opinion, but I just wanted to test it. I think it has more purpose for the higher end phones with more different cams on their back.

Bluetooth issues with an app (Carv) - Could it be fixed by using a custom ROM?

Hi all!
I recently purchased Carv, which is a product (a skiing tracker you use on your boots) that works through an app. I'm really enjoying it, in general it works fine, but the product has known issues with Snapdragon 865 based phones, including my S20 FE 5G.
For reference, here's a better description of the issue, as well as their bug report:
FAQ - Troubleshooting
Improve your skiing technique with real-time audio coaching. Carv uses pressure and motion analysis to help you learn to ski using audio feedback on the ski slopes.

Bluetooth crash and data corruption - Galaxy S20 FE and other SD 865 based devices
Also I’ll attach the bt_snoop capture from the dumpstate bugreport here: btsnoop_hci.zip (1.5 MB) And here’s the logcat capture from the time of the crash samsung_s20_fe.logcat_reduced.txt (1.1 MB) And here’s the interesting bits: 01-20 18:07:18.171 6621 7191 V...
forum.developer.samsung.com
Samsung has suggested the problem should be fixed on their Android 11 update, but I'm already on Android 12 and still have issues.
Anyway, my question is: do you think this issue could be solved by using a Custom ROM? If so, which one(s)?
I'm willing to try it out if there's a chance it's gonna work, but if the chances are too slim, I don't think I wanna void my warranty for nothing.
Many thanks in advance!
there are no custom roms and it's not the feature that tends to improve on a custom rom.

What about Clean OS? I know it's basically a bloatware-free version of the stock ROM, but in a way it still is a custom ROM...? Or not really?
to my knowledge no changes were made to Bluetooth in CleanOS.
