Keep in mind that some LineageOS features have not been completed yet this is not a device bug and please do not report those
in this rom thread, also do not post bug reports for known issues or bug reports without proper
a) Logcat
b) proc/last_kmsg (or proc/kmsg)
c) data/tombstones
d) dmesg



Install gapps right after installing the rom itself don't try to boot to system before that if you want to use gapps (Or wipe data before installing them)

Since most gapps didnt update for 12L yet (SDK bumped from 31 to 32) i edited falmegapps and uploaded them here use them if you cant find gapps that work on 12L https://mega.nz/folder/FFoS1IIK#XunGRNTViQY7-OZ8oQr0sg
Make sure gapps you decide to use support android 12L/12.1/Are targetting api level 32

Make sure you are using latest official TWRP before installing rom older versions do not have proper android 12 support

[ChasTechProjects]

Can you provide a link to the device tree for LineageOS 19.0? I'd love to make something like this for the Galaxy S9, but would need to analyse the differences between an 18.1 tree and a 19.0 tree to get it building successfully. Thanks!

[Merc87]

Do you have any Gcam mod recommendation? And if anyone knows of any custom kernels that would work on Android 12/11 ROMs for the note 8 please let me know.

Do consider writing you mobile type and details of TWRP, did you clean install etc. what you have written is like, you go to a doctor and say you have pain, A normal way would be doctor I have pain in my stomach whenever I eat fried food etc.
