I had already done this and safteynet was passing for me. I fixed it on advice from another reply which said to selinux to permissive in termux.

I'm in Enforced and Netflix working.
There are two difficulties.
1. Vendor files
You need the vendor specific files to build. This can be overcome relatively easy by adding the relevant repository from TheMuppets into roomservices.xml. You may ask Google for that.
2. Unfinished hardware specifics
The two repositories a5y17lte and 7880common contain a lot of pending patches, which are required to pick to be able to build a working ROM.
And meanwhile many of these patches show merge conflicts, i.e. it's quite difficult to pick them.
So at the moment it is really difficult to build. It might help, if more of these required patches would be commited even if they might not yet be fully tested. This could help others to contribute to the ROM by making it easier to build.
Let's hope @Option58 finds some more time to continue his fine work.
I come from different ROM
I'm running Hades ROM right now. Can I flash this without any issues? I am asking because of this sentence in the 1st post
- "Make sure you had Samsung's Oreo firmware bootloader and modem before installing this."
Or do I have to flash stock ROM first??
Thanks in advance..

You can flash.
You should just be able to flash, we don't have any ROMs for A5/A7 that include different bootloaders and modems as far as I am awareI'm running Hades ROM right now. Can I flash this without any issues? I am asking because of this sentence in the 1st post

He's right it doesn't build FOR 17.1 it works fine for 16.x If you try it you get stuck with the following libinit/libinit_sec issue and requires modifying from android.mk to .bp for some parts or so it seems from my limited check into the issue. @Option58 probably has localized patches that fixed them problems. I know because tried it myself to get it to build a custom microG version of services.jar for 17.1.
Code:
out/soong/.bootstrap/bin/soong_build -t -l out/.module_paths/Android.bp.list -b out/soong -n out -d out/soong/build.ninja.d -globFile out/soong/.boots
trap/build-globs.ninja -o out/soong/build.ninja Android.bp
error: system/core/init/Android.bp:95:1: "libinit" depends on undefined module "libinit_sec"
10:24:27 soong bootstrap failed with: exit status 1
Hey!
I'm thinking about moving to LOS17, but because it's still in Alpha (since January) how does it work? Mostly asking about battery life and performance as well. Is it same as in 16?
Thanks in advance for answer!

I would suggest waiting. Its obviously not good enough to be used as official with Lineage. You can look back in recent pages here and should find the answer.
But, it mostly depends on how good is good enough for you and that's a bit subjective. I haven't installed Lineage rom here as the official Samsung rom is being updated and works great. 17+ would be my only reason to jump over and its not there yet.
Actually, I really want it to be at testing Android 11 now (Lineage OS 18) but this isn't what cyanogenmod used to be which is really sad but that's life. Maybe 18 will go faster. 17 is way too slow. Its almost one whole version behind now lol. I wish I had the time to help out on it but there's some other things I want done that are on my plate.

Hey! Thanks for your reply!
Well I guess I will stay on hadesROM for now, if 17 gets better or even better 18 will work on A5, then I'll switch.
Again thanks!
17's main problem is call audio not working correctly, as well as the device sometimes crashing when toggling WiFi. I guess you could backup your device in recovery and test lineage 17 for some time if you want

I'll give NikG a try.

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11 (r), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Code:/* * Your warranty is now void. * * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. */
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit Gerrit Code Review.
What's working?
- Audio
- Calls
- Wifi
- Hotspot
- Mobile data
- GPS
- Bluetooth
- Fingerprint
- Hardware composer
- OpenMAX (hardware encoding/decoding)
- Camera (photos + recording)
- NFC
- Sensors
- Vibration
- Double tap to wake
- Always on display
- Software encryption
- Sepolicy
- We are shipping with enforced selinux policy.
Supported variants
All variants of Galaxy A5 (2017) and Galaxy A7 (2017). Dual SIM is also supported.
How to install
- Make sure you had Samsung's Oreo firmware bootloader and modem before installing this.
- Make sure you are using the latest official TWRP version.
- Download the lineage build and optionally google apps.
- In TWRP format data (if you still have stock rom encryption).
- In TWRP wipe data and cache.
- Flash LineageOS.
- Optional: Flash Google apps (rightafter).
- Reboot.
LineageOS updater will handle updates automatically (OTA).
If you're flashing manually, it's okay to dirty flash.
Downloads
Unfortunately, Google has stopped providing android 11 with the new security patches, forcing LineageOS team to drop all legacy devices, that were still on android 11. This includes our device, too, as it's simply too old to get any newer android version as official. (old kernel, FDE is old encryption method etc.)
20240305 is the last official build there will be and I have re-uploaded it to several different mirrors.
A5 2017: MEGA | androidfilehost | wiki.lineageos.org | twrp.me
A7 2017: MEGA | androidfilehost | wiki.lineageos.org | twrp.me
Google apps (arm64): wiki.lineageos.org

Help my sim doesn't work
Please read the installation instructions more carefully. Oreo firmware bootloader and modem is a must.
You can find the collection along with the guide in this xda thread.
I'm sometimes having crackling sound when listening to music
Turn off 'ok google now' functionality in google app settings. If you have troubles finding it you can as well go to settings>apps, find app called 'google' and disable microphone permission.
Does this rom support VoLTE?
No. And it likely won't in the near future. Samsung's exynos VoLTE implementation is proprietary and non-standard. It is not possible on AOSP based roms for the time being.
I have weird issues with camera (wrong resolution, issues with flash etc.)
Тhis could very well be an issue with the included camera app. Try a third party camera app.
My device fails to encrypt
1. You were likely using older TWRP, update to the latest version
2. Backup your data somewhere (external sd, pc...)
3. In TWRP Advanced -> Format data.
My hardware keys light up whenever I touch the screen
Navigate to Settings->System->Buttons->Backlight and tick 'Illuminate buttons only when pressed'. You might want to reduce time on the scaler to 1 second, too.
How to switch to full screen gestures
1. Navigate to Settings->System->Buttons->Backlight and tick 'Enable on-screen nav bar'.
2. Navigate to Settings->System->Gestures->System navigation and tick 'Gesture navigation'.
I need help with google camera
Please see this xda post.18New build up!
This one is huge. The changelog list is big and I've probably fixed more bugs in the previous 7 days than I did in the past 6 months.
Lineage 17.1 for this device is getting better and a lot of bugs are squashed now. We can now declare this a beta!
All the changes for this build are now properly sorted and merged-in. You can easily find everything at github.com/LineageOS, build the rom yourselves and contribute with new code, if you are able to.
- Beta 3.0
- Pulled RIL blobs from G965F Q firmware (more modern, fixes signal strength)
- Fixed issues with connecting to RILD (fixes in-call volume, fixes echo in calls)
- Updated GPS blobs from A720S P firmware (better signal, we are actually able to acquire a lock)
- Updated fingerprint blobs from A720S P firmware (works more reliably, dropped all hacks)
- Pulled sensors from A720F O firmware (cleaner)
- Updated DRM to support Widevine L1
- More HALs are binderized
- Build FlipFlap (a flip cover app)
- Fully written and enforced selinux policy
- Latest LineageOS sources
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=30460317Also I've just updated my sources so you can fully build the rom again.
I've tested some roms like PixelExperience today on my device. It's not bad with the added 'google' feel to it. Later I might test RR and others.
All that I'm asking from both developers and users is please be clear that these roms are based on LineageOS. Meaning that most of the hard work that actually got them to work was done here, on LineageOS. And unfortunately most of the issues they are facing as well Work was done by RaymanFX, forkbomb, and in the latest days by me. Not respecting this makes me less motivated to keep working on the device.
Cheers :highfive:
