LineageOS 20.0 (Android 13) [Signature Spoofing][OTA updates] for S7 Exynos
- Thread starter Ivan_Meler
- Start date
Works great so far! Only things I'm missing are tethering (both wifi and usb do not seem to be working), and traffic monitoring (which is already mentioned in known issues).
Build 20221001,
When the Ambient screen is enabled, it takes 1-2 seconds for the screen to come up after waking up the phone. No longer an issue
Also, the time adjustment on the backlight for the capacitive buttons doesn't work, the light stays on until you tap on the screen (bug remains on the latest build as well).. -- A reboot fixes the issue.

NikGapps have been updated to 13, you might need to clean flash if you used other gapps in past including nikgapps 12.1 version
Make sure you are using latest official TWRP before installing rom older versions do not have proper android 12/13 support

Thank you for this wonderful rom.
Thank you for making consistent updates.
Thank You!
Okay guys, I have a really funky and 100% reproducible bug here. (On my device, anyway)
While bed time mode is enabled (including black&white screen which I intuitively presume is relevant, haven’t tested it though), any reboot of the phone will result in the lock screen being visible for a tiny bit but then it quickly fades to black and *stays black*. The touchscreen is still usable if you’re enough of a psychic to know where you should touch, but it’s pitch black. Until bedtime mode is disabled as per the settings, or until I manually disable Digital Wellbeing. What I can confirm is that pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.wellbeing works to restore the screen.
I updated to this lineage 20 ROM afterwards while the issue was occuring (and used above workaround afterwards) so I assume it also applies to the lineage 20 ROM. Is this a ROM specific issue, or a LOS/Digital Wellbeing issue? Seems like a major bug like this should be more well known if it applied to everyone though. Can anybody confirm this?

digital wellbeing/ night mode is not part of the rom itself gapps probably lack overlay for minimum brightness
adb sideload lineage-20.0-20221004-UNOFFICIAL-herolte.zip serving: 'lineage-20.0-20221004-UNOFFICIAL-herolte.zip' (~21%) adb: failed to read command: Success
and on the phone it just says: patching system image unconditionally...
It's not running anymore but the blue bar is still animated..can't exit or restart the sideload, The md5sum checked out fine. After a forcefull reboot I of course end in a bootloop. Rebooting to twrp and sideloading the zip again gives the same error and same bahaviour it just exits at a different percentage.
Does anyone have a link to the previous update?

shouldve used ota or flashed it without sideload, rom itself works fine tho adb on your host pc messed something up while serving update likely
I always sideload and it always works out fine. I'm on the latest adroid-tools package...I use Arch btw
EDIT: After downloading the zip from github and trying again it functioned this time! The other zip I downloaded which failed was from Mega. Weird thing is that usually the phone stays rooted but not this time.

For me it works; even get a pop-up were I can choose which app to open with: gallery App or etc. And just once or always.
Thanks for the reply, I found the culprit. It was Gcam Services I had previously installed in order to use a Gcam port. It apparently takes precedence as the default app to open the preview (having Gcam services makes the OS think you have Google Photos installed and even get a prompt to update the Google Photos app). As soon as I uninstall it, it works as expected.
But I found another bug where my selfies (from the stock camera app) are coming up in the wrong orientation.
You might be right there .. My selfies get turned 90° to the left @Ivan_Meler.....
But I found another bug where my selfies (from the stock camera app) are coming up in the wrong orientation.
thats.. er thats how selfie cameras work if you werent aware...
Do you use stock camera app or an different app like gcam port, open camera etc ? What gallery app do you use and which camera settings do you use ?

No problems so far with a 32GB-sized SDcard formatted as removable storage in the newest LineageOS 20.0 build from OP.1
Well... this cannot be, because the function to format SDcard als internal memory is active in LOS 20.0.
It only does not work properly, because there are some bugs inside, wich need to be fixed.
And taking that function out of LOS makes really no sense. Today there are smartphones with large internal memory, but LOS is also made for the elder ones, wich have only 32 GB or less memory. For those it is essential, to keep the formatting of SDcards as internal memory, especially when messengers are used, like Twitter oder Whatsapp, wich themselves or their content cannot be moved to a mobile formatted SDcard.
The difficulties with SDcards using als internal memory are only, when slow SDcards are used.
I only use the fastest SDcards I can get, (reading 200 MB/s, writing minimum 120 MB/s, or faster) and this works, formatted as internal memory, absolutely fine without any problems in LOS 19.1 within my both Samsung Galaxy S7.
So, there is no reason not to offer formatting internal in LOS 20.0.
It would be a real pity, when formatting SDcards as internal memory would be taken out of LOS.
Put in a notice inside LOS, that the folks should use only very fast SDcards, when want to format them as internal memory...1
Yea, I forgot about to answer, sorry. I tried some of your tips, sadly it not helped with the quality. Only OpenCamera-App makes slightly better photos than the stock-app. Where I stuck to for now, but its still messy in compared to stock.
What I dont understand is, why not just copy the drivers from the stock-rom to the custom? It should be not affected by any license-problems or whatever, since there are customs out there, they are based on stock, and everything is out for free anyway.
There should be a way to make that possible.
Yea, was thinking about to use Samsung Galaxy A13 with stock, but I can not befriend myself with full-Google...
Also Ive read that the performance is worse than S7, that worries me, was used to use stuff like Dolphin.
Thing was, I even bought another small phone (old but cheap), what I wanted to use for making photos only, beside of the S7, flashed a custom rom for it, and has the same audio-echo-issue and bad photo quality. Then I tried official LOS from the homepage, (4 different builds), no any of it even booted fully without problems (I dont get that, why customs even working better than official LOS?), in the end I flashed back to stock and sent it back to amazon.
Now I was using the update-function, and was excited about the camera improvement I read in the change-log and see its even worse now. Flashing back, probably even breaks stuff. So you can imagine my frustration...1For first, thank you for your words.
Yea, its true, but in the modern capitalism world, we can forget that sadly.
Every little step for freedom needs time and sacrifices...
That is the thing. They are still not original, so what is the difference? They are just tolerated maybe?
Another idea, developer could offer an addon for flashing the drivers into the rom by own.
That should fix the general problems? Or maybe its just against xda tos? idk about..
You can get every App exist in Play totally legal via Auroa, btw can highly recommend.
The open Google alternatives has nothing to do with Google itself, they just offer the same functionality via the same APIs. Only the original google apps like the story comes from google afaik. A fully "open-googled" LOS is still much different from original Android.
It has nothing to do with the forum here, so I will make it in a very short: information can be used by > everyone.
Yea, that I wanted to avoid, more (expensive) devices, same time. When I go out, and plan to make photos, so I would need to have the S7 AND the compact-camera with me. I was on way to explain that more in my previous post but cut it out because its not topic of the thread. I'm new to xda, so I don't know how far we can go with off-topic talk...
Same here, but after that, photo quality comes next.
(Well basic communication like calls and sms comes first of everything but that is basic, every stuff like audio quality etc is not really matter for me, as long people can hear me, and I can receive SMS, all is fine) -
