You will need an Android Terminal. You can turn on the default one in the developer settings. Need to turn on developer mode?
You will also need to enable root which can also be done in the Developer settings
Open up the terminal app and run
su
rpi3-audio-jack.sh

Download LineageOS
Download the unofficial LineageOS 16 build from the following page
https://konstakang.com/devices/rpi3/LineageOS16.0/
Unzip
Unzip the file with
unzip ~/Downloads/lineage-16.0-20200207-UNOFFICIAL-KonstaKANG-rpi3.zip
Write to SD Card
Either use the instructions on the following link to write it to the SD card
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/windows.md
Or use DD
WARNING! Make sure “/dev/mmcblk0” is the correct SD Card. Refer to here if you need to locate the path for the SD Card.
sudo dd if=~/Downloads/lineage-16.0-20200207-UNOFFICIAL-KonstaKANG-rpi3.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M status=progress
Plug you SD Card into your Pi and boot it up.
The following script is for monitoring if an IP address is reachable or not. If it becomes unavailable the script will turn on a LED that is plugged into one of the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi. View pinout here
Script
#!/bin/bash
# Script to ping ip address and turn on LED on if device is unreachable.
nPin="18" # Change if GPIO pin is different
ledPin="gpio${nPin}" toPing="8.8.8.8" # Change to address you want to ping
echo "${nPin}" > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/${ledPin}/direction
if ( fping -r1 $toPing | grep -v alive ); then
echo "Internet unreachable"
# Turn on LED
echo "1" > /sys/class/gpio/${ledPin}/value
else
# Turn off LED
echo "0" > /sys/class/gpio/${ledPin}/value
fi
Save script as ping_led.sh and make it executable.
chmod +x ping_led.sh
and run the script.
sh ping_led.sh
Run script in crontab
You can setup the script to run every minute using a crontab
crontab -e
Add the following line
*/1 * * * * /home/pi/ping_led.sh
Should now execute the script every minute and not need any human interaction.

The examples given here are for modifying the wlan0 interface. Replace wlan0 with the interface you are configuring. i.e. (eth0,wlan1)
Method 1
This was the typical way to add a static IP address to a Pi, if you have issues with this, then try Method 2.
sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
In the file it is pretty easy to see which lines control which interface, find the lines that control wlan0 (or the interface your configuring) and change/add to look like below.
iface wlan0 inet static address 192.168.42.109 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.42.1
Save the file, reboot, and the Pi should come up with the new static IP.
Method 2
It looks like on the newer versions of Raspbian, the above method does not work anymore, so now you have to edit the following file
sudo vi /etc/dhcpcd.conf
and add the following lines.
interface wlan0 static ip_address=192.168.42.109/24 static routers=192.168.42.1 static domain_name_servers=192.168.42.1
If you just need to assign a static IP address, to the device, because it is going to be setup as a hotspot or something, you can get away with the following.
interface wlan0 static ip_address=192.168.42.1/24
If you run into issues with it not assigning the address, check the /etc/network/interfaces file and make sure that the line that starts with “iface wlan0” says manual at the end and not static. If it says “iface wlan0 inet static”, change it to “iface wlan0 inet manual”
