The issue described pertains to the behavior of AOSP-like ROMs, specifically LineageOS, where a 'factory reset' dialog appears unexpectedly during a reboot to recovery, even when a factory reset is not intended. This can be alarming for users, as it may lead to confusion or concern about potential data loss. The current solution implemented by APatch involves mimicking a power button press to turn off the screen, which prevents the dialog from being seen but does not eliminate the issue entirely. The user suggests an alternative approach, which involves informing the user that the 'factory reset' is not real through a confirmation dialog or a toast notification. This method would provide clarity and reduce user anxiety. The user has also considered using the hard reboot command to enter recovery, but is concerned about the potential for data loss due to the hard reboot method. The device in question is a OnePlus 9R running LineageOS 22.2-20250915-microG-lemonades. This situation highlights the importance of clear user communication and error handling in recovery modes on AOSP-based systems.
