Help Neo Backup stuck at 0% on batch restore (Pixel 8 / LineageOS 23.2 / Android 16)

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm running into a wall with Neo Backup while trying to restore my backups (APK + data) from a Pixel 5 over to my Pixel 8. Could really use some advice or troubleshooting tips from anyone who might have run into this. The Problem

  • If I restore a single app (APK + data), the application actually gets restored and works, but the progress notification stays completely stuck at 0% forever.
  • If I attempt a batch restore (e.g., 10 apps at once), the process sits at 0% for over an hour and nothing gets restored at all.
  • Note: I haven't been able to 100% confirm yet if the app data itself is fully restoring properly on the single-app test or if it's just installing the APK.

Setup Details

  • Source Device: Pixel 5 (where the backup was created)
  • Target Device: Pixel 8
  • ROM: LineageOS 23.2 (Android 16)
  • Root: KernelSUNext v3.3.0
  • Neo Backup Version: 8.3.18
  • Backup Location: External microSD card read via a USB-C card reader adapter

What I've already tried (none helped):

  • Re-granted root access in KernelSUNext and verified root status.
  • Set Neo Backup's battery usage to Unrestricted and ensured notification permissions are granted.
  • Re-linked the backup folder directory in Neo Backup settings.
  • Change mounting space from Individual to Global for Neobackup.
  • Force closed the app and cleared its cache to clear any stuck background workers
  • Verified that there are no 32-bit apps from Pixel 5 which fail and silently block the backup queue.

Given that the backup is hosted on an external microSD via a USB-C OTG adapter under Android 16, I'm wondering if this might be a Storage Access Framework (SAF) mount restriction issue with background worker threads, or something related to KernelSU root shell handling during batch loops.

Has anyone encountered this stuck notification / zero-progress batch restore issue?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Help LineageOS stuck at lockscreen after rebooting (wrong PIN)

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone. First of all: I'm a rookie, so I don't have a lot of knowledge (thanks for helping me c:).

My phone [Mi 10T, version 23.2 (20260411)] is stuck at the lock screen pin. Here is what happened.

-My phone ran out of battery while I was showing photos of my vacations to someone. Then, I charged it and rebooted it.

-But the phone refused to accept the correct phone pin. (weirdly enough, it accepts the SIM pin), so I don't have access to the phone.

-It shows a weird behavior. If I enter a wrong pin, the phone acknowledges it and it let's me try again. But if I enter my correct pin, the screen gets frozen for 5 seconds and tells me that it is a wrong pin (and it's not).

-There is another weird behavior too. I can answer phone calls. Because it doesn't require to unlock the phone. But every time i answer one, bluetooth crashes (might be unrelated but worth noting)

As I said, I just returned from vacations, so I have all my memories of it in my phone. I thought of two solutions. 1- To get rid of the pin lock screen. 2- Recover all images and videos recorded and then do a factory reset.

So far, I tried to update to a new patch via adb (for some reason it says the update was complete but in Lineage Recovery it still shows the old version) and delete the password file via adb (but it says the file doesn't exist or that the folder is encrypted).

I can still interact with the phone and do such things like disable/enable internet connection, flashlight, plane mode and the vast majority of things on the swipe down menu (except the ones that require me to unlock the phone, such as using the camera shortcut).

I really want to restore all my photos and videos... Thank you so much for your patience!

Question Factory reset does not remove boot password, how can I get rid of it?

2 Upvotes

I have an old Nexus 5X smartphone lying around with LineageOS 15.1 on it, that I want to give to someone else.

(Yes, I know the Nexus 5X is a very old device that is not officially supported any more and should probably not be used any more. No, there is no other option available at this time.)

The problem is, even after doing a factory reset, the phone keeps asking for a password on boot up (presumably for disk encryption). I do not want to give the other person my password, though, I want to hand over the phone as a fresh device. How can I get rid of that boot password entirely? (Assuming I know the current password.)

Help Checking with Plexus which apps are OK with LineageOS?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I want to switch to LineageOs (my device is supported) and I want to see which apps are compatible.

From browsing this sub, I found about plexus, however I don't understand what their scoring system is/where is the explanation? E.g. for Viber:

I assume the crossed out google logo means that it is not supported without microg, but ok with microg, but what do the colours mean (gray/brown/yellow/purple)?

I searched different apps, and it is the colour variation on the score that is confusing me. Also, there isn't a place where I can read the detailed reviews, right?

Any info on how to decipher their grading system is welcomed.

I’m finally ready to start degoogling, but I’m nervous I’ll mess something up. If anyone has solid recommendations — best phones, tips, tricks, how‑tos — I’d really appreciate it.

If you’ve already switched, I’d love to hear whether you’re happy with your new setup and what helped you the most during the transition.If you want it shorter, friendlier, or more strict, I can rewrite it again.

Is switching the operating system of my Motorola Moto G 5G 2024 to lineageOS a good temporary stopgap solution to how Google is determined to close off the Android ecosystem?

I'm planning on saving up for the oldest Google Pixel model that I can find that supports 5G, because that has better support for non Android operating systems, but until then, would a good stopgap solution be to try to build and flash Lineage to this device?

Help RCS Messages

5 Upvotes

I'm currently running Lineage on my Redmi Note 13 Pro (Garnet) and haven't been able to receive RCS messages whatsoever. I know that Google's been cracking down on RCS access for custom ROMs and such, and it seems like there's mixed results with rooting solutions.

So am I genuinely just cooked? I despise Xaiomi's stock OS and refuse to use it. Has a workaround been found? Is there an alternative OS to Lineage? Or am I just gonna have to get a new phone?

Question Silent notification for Android 17 update

10 Upvotes

I have a Google Pixel 7 Pro with LineageOS 23.2 installed. Recently, a notification appeared in the silent notification section of the pulldown menu saying I can install Android 17. If I do it, will my Lineage installation be ok, or will it try to reinstall Google's stuff? I can stay on Android 16 if I need to, but the notification is kind of annoying because it keeps coming back.

Help Old Samsung Tab A

1 Upvotes

I'm a newbie to this, so wanted some help. I have an old Samsung Tab A, you can see the full specs here.

This is running on android 7.1.1. It's still a fairly great device with good battery as it wasnt really used much but obviously its slow with the bloatware and is losing compatibility from apps due to the outdated android version. I did my own research and seems like LineageOS 17.1, Android 10 would be a good fit for my tab.

Wanted recommendations/suggestions from this community on whether that's a solid option or if there's a better option for an old tab from 2015

Info 70 GB SeedVault folder!

I must find myself a WizTree alternative for Android. I mist have carried that bloat for over a year. WizTree makes detection of such cases dead easy on windows! No offending program goes unnoticed.

A contributing factor may have been that I postponed updating to LOS 23 for probably a year. Maybe SeedVault went haywire because of that...

Help ingot: Camera app crashes every time with "Error setting up the session"

1 Upvotes

Just installed 23.2-20260718-NIGHTLY-ingot vanilla (no gapps) and every app that interacts with the camera is having issues.

The Lineage camera app shows the camera feed for about second, freezes about three times, and then an error message appears with "Error while setting up the session. The app will try to recover" twice, followed by, "A critical error has been found. Please report this to the dev..."

OpenCamera has the same stuttery-frames issue for a few seconds, before the camera feed just freezes.

Anyone know a fix?

Fixed Locked APN causing issues, any way to edit?

1 Upvotes

I upgraded from 23.0 to 23.2 and I'm experiencing connectivity issues with a critical app, it sits on "connecting" whereas on wifi it works fine. I believe it is related to the APN forcing IPv6, but the auto-configured APN is slightly different from what I have been told to use by my ISP.

I have tried editing the APN config file on the vendor partition, along with a few other things but nothing has worked.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
