20220421 Lineage Release notes :
Hey everyone! Glad to be back again for another release, This one has been in development for couple months now, and comes with massive upgrades and improvements, the most major is a full transition into Exynos7420 Oreo graphics drivers, which modernizes our device graphics stack significantly, and finally allows us to use proper OMX media codecs which solves many issues including the dreaded low quality playback! (You no longer need to flash FakeDeviceInfo)
Further more the new GPU driver significantly boosts performance in games and UI which is always a welcome (including fixing graphical glitches in games)
Other major fixes include full encryption support, Please refer to Updated TWRP to perform first time encryption setup, i must warn however, Encryption might interfere with future rom flashes, so only use it if you can keep your data backed up, as it will fully deny you access to it from TWRP.
This release also includes fixes for the random reboots, and Audio leakage, sadly this does not address the tiny microphone quality, so that remains an issue, Please refer to bugs for an uptodate bug list and instructions on how to easily report new issues
If you appreciate the effort behind this, don't hesitate to leave a thanks, provide constructive criticism and maybe consider donating some "totally not illegal stuff" over at my paypal
Submitting new issues/Requests
--> First read existing issues and the F.A.Q Below to ensure its not a duplicate/workaround <--

Q : How to use Encryption ?
A : First, head over to TWRP Thread And follow the notes for First time encryption setup (this involves formatting internal storage while using that twrp, This is mandatory as previous twrps did not create proper partition state for encryption), Then head over to settings > security > encryption > Encrypt Phone, the phone will reboot once or twice
Warning : Encryption will prevent TWRP from reading your internal storage at all, And encryption is very sensitive, any untested customization or mods might brick the ROM, and putting your data at risk, only use if required
UPDATE : You will bootloop if you did not set PIN/lockscreen in setup wizard before encrypting
Q : How to Tune for Performance or battery life ?
A : Latest release offers proper Power profiles which can be adjusted in Settings > Battery > EnergySaver and Performance. The slider will adjust MAX CPU frequency as follows,
Power saving Big: 1.4GHz Little: 1.0GHz
Balanced: Big: 1.7GHz Little: 1.3GHz
Performance: Big: 1.9GHz Little: 1.4GHz
Q: N910H wont detect SIM / network
A: This is due to it trying to force LTE, Go to settings > network > mobile networks And change preferred network type to 3G, then enable and disable Airplane Mode. Here is a Video by @mvrul2k20 to explain the procedure
Q : Korean variants (S/L/K) have tube / robotic audio in calls
A : this bug is unfixable for now as those models rely on stock audio hardware effects to fix this issue, but we cant use that and open source H/W does not support them
Q : How to enable android 10 gestures
A : First you need to enable navigation bar (this will disable touchkeys) then go to gesture settings and enable full screen gestures
Q : Recommended camera app to use ?
A : This Google Camera : Download or Footej2 from the play store
Q : When registering FP, i dont see progress or vibration
A : It is fine, keep enrolling your finger, and at the end it will show you pass. this seems to only happen with first enrollment
Q: Whenever I try flashing any lineage- build, I get the following error in TWRP: Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
A: Update your TWRP to 3.2.3 or higher available Here or newer
Q : Device is too warm
A : After first boot that is common, let the phone finish setting up and cool down
Q : How to get google apps ?
A : Go to Opengapps.org . Select ARM > 10 > [your choice] and flash opengapps*.zip after the ROM.zip
Q : How to get Root ?
A : Flash Magisk Root From Here (Recommended version 23.0 for better MagiskHide)
Q : How to tune the kernel ?
A : use HKTweaks app from @corsicanu : Github
well done bro, i used to use rr on many phones before, i'll try this too on my n4 right now... but i need an advice for the recommended pack of gapps for this RR.

ohh wow.... the best Custom OS coming to the Exynos variant... I greatly appreciate your efforts.
but I have a question: can this work perfectly on my N910S model?
Newbie here ; So i have a problem with this ROM , I was using your Nougat ROM and installed it without any problems ( 2nd rom ever!) but this one is giving me some trouble so if anyone can help that would be great.
So I rooted the phone ; installed TWRP ; flashed the bootloader ( actions in that order )
Now i selected 3 options when wiping with advanced wipe and did one factory wipe just to make sure im following all the tips in tutorial
Then i when i try to flash the ROM it says " image mounting complete " or something along those lines , then it 2 rows of message that I shoulda wrote down but I was so excited about this ROM and didn't (but can tomorrow ) nothing actually installs and everything takes like 3 seconds for that message to display and the only option is to reboot and I am warned with ( There is no OS installed do you still want to reboot and If i do i'm stuck on logo during booting )
Does anyone have any ideas what am I doing wrong?
Using n910c btw
EDIT :This is where im stuck it asks me this when i want to flash

Q : How to use Encryption ?
A : First, head over to TWRP Thread And follow the notes for First time encryption setup (this involves formatting internal storage while using that twrp, This is mandatory as previous twrps did not create proper partition state for encryption), Then head over to settings > security > encryption > Encrypt Phone, the phone will reboot once or twice
Warning : Encryption will prevent TWRP from reading your internal storage at all, And encryption is very sensitive, any untested customization or mods might brick the ROM, and putting your data at risk, only use if required
UPDATE : You will bootloop if you did not set PIN/lockscreen in setup wizard before encrypting
Q : How to Tune for Performance or battery life ?
A : Latest release offers proper Power profiles which can be adjusted in Settings > Battery > EnergySaver and Performance. The slider will adjust MAX CPU frequency as follows,
Power saving Big: 1.4GHz Little: 1.0GHz
Balanced: Big: 1.7GHz Little: 1.3GHz
Performance: Big: 1.9GHz Little: 1.4GHz
Q: N910H wont detect SIM / network
A: This is due to it trying to force LTE, Go to settings > network > mobile networks And change preferred network type to 3G, then enable and disable Airplane Mode. Here is a Video by @mvrul2k20 to explain the procedure
Q : Korean variants (S/L/K) have tube / robotic audio in calls
A : this bug is unfixable for now as those models rely on stock audio hardware effects to fix this issue, but we cant use that and open source H/W does not support them
Q : How to enable android 10 gestures
A : First you need to enable navigation bar (this will disable touchkeys) then go to gesture settings and enable full screen gestures
Q : Recommended camera app to use ?
A : This Google Camera : Download or Footej2 from the play store
Q : When registering FP, i dont see progress or vibration
A : It is fine, keep enrolling your finger, and at the end it will show you pass. this seems to only happen with first enrollment
Q: Whenever I try flashing any lineage- build, I get the following error in TWRP: Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
A: Update your TWRP to 3.2.3 or higher available Here or newer
Q : Device is too warm
A : After first boot that is common, let the phone finish setting up and cool down
Q : How to get google apps ?
A : Go to Opengapps.org . Select ARM > 10 > [your choice] and flash opengapps*.zip after the ROM.zip
Q : How to get Root ?
A : Flash Magisk Root From Here (Recommended version 23.0 for better MagiskHide)
Q : How to tune the kernel ?
A : use HKTweaks app from @corsicanu : Github
