[ROM][S9+/S9][LineageOS 17.1][UNOFFICIAL][05-06-20][OTA]

[Synt4x.93]

What's working:

• Wi-Fi
• Bluetooth
• Mobile Network (Calling, Data, etc.)
• Signal Strength
• GPS
• NFC
• Audio (Stereo Speakers)
• Camera
• Fingerprint Sensor
• HDMI
• MTP
• Call Recording
• HWC
• Encryption
• SELinux Enforcing
• OTA Updates

Bugs:

• ?

Notes:

• If you are not on Q BL it will not boot.
• I would suggest 3.2.3 TWRP or the included lineage recovery
• For encryption to work make sure you are on 3.2.3 twrp and haven't formatted /data with any newer versions, issue described here.
• Use a stock unmodified vendor and update whenever available, we are using our own fstab now for optional encryption and adoptable storage support so we don't need to touch the vendor.
• If you go back to an official build after this with stock vendor, you will be force encrypted on first boot.
• These builds are based on the official lineage device trees and kernel, but with more flexibility and my preferred configuration.
• Lineage Recovery will be uploaded with each build and if you will only be running this rom i suggest to switch to it.

Instructions:

• Make sure TWRP has been installed and is functional
• Download the latest build and latest stock vendor.img that is available (optionally gapps and magisk if needed)
• Reboot to recovery
• Wipe data and cache (required if you switch from other ROMs)
• Flash the vendor image
• Flash the latest build (then gapps and magisk if needed)
• Reboot

How to update builds?

• OTA or manually like below
• Do not wipe anything unless stated in the changelog
• Flash only the rom.zip and it will automatically reinstall your gapps, magisk etc
• use /system/addon.d if you would like to keep system mods after an update

Hello everyone! Not sure how many people here already been trying this ROM from the Telegram group, but was wondering if anyone has the following issue. Google Chrome seems to become really laggy in the evening hours on my phone, but is fine during the day. Basically scrolling and animations within Chrome are really slow causing bad performance. Wanted to confirm if it's just me as Rob said the issue doesn't seem to happen with the Note 9 and see if anyone here has any suggestions? I am running DTB4 BL and vendor with TWRP 3.2.3.0.

so everything good other than Android Auto? Well done!

Great news! Thanks a lot for keeping our device alive and updated!
Can't wait to try this one out. I assume it's working fine as a daily driver?

Yup, been using it for several weeks. No odd reboots and stuff, just very stable.

How can I check for the right BL?

What does it mean "Q BL"?
Thanks
EDIT:
Never mind, I found it! :good:

 

[xo.en]

..ok, stupid question, but where can I get q bl?
Do I need to use odin to flash just bl from one of q roms or is there just q bl to download somewhere?

Great rom, thanks for this, I came from the LOS 16 and LOS 17.1 of the 09/01 and all good until now

Here is a link for download q bootloader

vendor images and bootloader zip are taken from devbase rom by alexndr so big thank for his work

S9/S9+ : DTB5
N9 : DTB6

Hoooly ****, I tried to make dirty flash from LOS 16(with replacing bl and vendor, of course), with just cache and dalvik cache wipe, and everything just WORKS fine.
This is AMAZING!

So:
1. twrp - wipe dalvik and cache,
2. twrp - flash bl,
3. twrp - flash vendor, but vendor from OP(!),
4. twrp - flash ROM,
5. twrp - flash opengapps.
Damn, it saved me reinstalling 132 apps, and setting all accounts all over.
What's great - all settings are kept from previous OS.
Of course, I lost viperfx and all magisk-related plugs(list of plugins is still there, so all I needed to do was reinstalling plugins ), but, still, this is great.

 

[DeCo59]

Great, glad all went good for you

Thanks for working instructions and links!

Thanks a lot! :victory:
I guess it's to much to ask for those information from a developer...
Side note: there is a boot loader for DTB5 only, but the modified vendor for LOS is DTB4. It works, though.

I did update from the 09/01/2020, so far found two issues:
1. After installing White Wolfs Kernel, UI seems to crash after unlocking via pattern, returning me back to unlock pattern. Had to wipe and re-install (dirty install of LOS didn't solve the issue ).
2. AFWall doesn't work. Applying rules fails leaving the system without internet access.
First one is not that important, but I'd like a firewall on my device...

Anyway: Thanks for the work on the LOS.

Great work! ROM works great, even Google pay is working good!

 

[Hofedan]

I just installed your ROM. It is very nice that the keyboard is now bigger then the one of theolder version and my new bluetooth headset is finally working.

Unfortunately, I cannot get ctsProfile to pass.
Does anyone have ctsProfile passing?
Edit: nevermind, should have read the docs of MagiskHide Props, the last module did the config automatically...

All the best,
Daniel

Same here, can’t unlock after installing White Wolf kernel. Furthermore, the phone is in Emergency calls only mode, as if there is no SIM card.

How to “undo” or otherwise solve this?

I have the same problem. I'm still on LOS 16 as a daily driver because of this (and because of its awesome battery live). I will keep testing though...

Also my thanks for the great work on LOS!

I had the problem that the first boot after upgrade went without problems (or PIN prompt in my case) but after that, when entering the correct PIN, the screen got black and then locked again. If I entered the wrong PIN, the phone told me so.
My solution was to use TWRP to rename the file /data/system/locksettings.db to locksettings.db.bak and then reboot. By renaming the file, the screen lock was removed and I could reenable it in the settings.

Good luck,
Daniel

I didn't have the problem with the old 09/01/2020 version, so you ca try it, or wait for the fix

Weirdly enough, my system doesn't have this file. BUT, another try of White Wolfs kernel just worked. It seems this is an obsolete file, that some times is left behind confused and causes problems in the kernel.

It was too late for me to remove that file, because I had encrypted /data, was no longer able to access it from within LOS, and I don’t know if TWRP can decrypt /data. If it happens to you, I would suggest to seize the opportunity while LOS still unlocks on the first boot to delete that locksettings file. In any case, having a backup is a must, because I am not sure this will actually work.
