The black friday sales have started!

Use the coupon code BLENDFRIDAY020 in the BYTE HEAVEN Store to get 15% off of Sugar Britches and Singlescross pedals. Good until December.

That is all!

Released a small update today for the SPIN mapping. The VU meters weren’t really making use of the red LED, so I fixed it. Try cranking the GAIN and see what happens when they clip. It’s nice.

Share and enjoy!

I gave up trying to find a simple no-google build of LineageOS for the Pixel 3a (not the XL). And instead built it myself using https://github.com/SolidHal/Build-lineageos-sargo. This is my daily-driver ROM. I use it without GAPPS.

I’m making my builds available as torrents as I build them. You can build it yourself if you like. You’ll need lots of ram, a swapfile, and a few hours to wait.

Share and enjoy.

• lineage-17.1-20200729-BYTEHEAVEN-sargo.torrent
• lineage-17.1-20200902-BYTEHEAVEN-sargo.torrent (Magnet Link)
• lineage-17.1-20201001-BYTEHEAVEN-sargo Magnet Link

Build parameters:

• Signed, so you can flash updates without wiping
• SIGNATURE_SPOOFING=restricted – I don’t use microG but this should allow limited functionality
• UNIFIEDNLP=true Use your favorite location provider. I recommend Deja Vu
• Includes F-Droid Privileged Extension
• Includes GmsCore

If you’re not comfortable running a custom ROM on your phone, I strongly advise that you not do that. :)

Notes

My experience has been that the sideload of LineageOS always installs to slot_b. Or maybe it renames the slots after a successful install. The slot system is still weird.
