Builds are mostly ready for daily use, i had no major issues while testing but some lineageos extras are not implemented yet as its still eaarly days in android 13 development

Huge thanks to everyone who supported this project, helped cover the build server cost and got me coffee/pizza for time spent on development, This project wouldnt be possible without them

You can find some screenshots here

 

[master373]

Wow. That was quick man. Thank you

 

[mertcaners12]

That was really fast. Thanks for still contributing this device.

 

[ymz1376]

Only with such a cool and great developer I still use my S7 thank you very much :X

What are the steps that you followed to flash the ROM?

- INstall stock SM-G930S

You have to wipe data/cache/system/ before you install

Would Titanium Backup version 8.3.3 work on this version ROM ?

 

[Serdariup]

Big Thxx

 

[zzz2002]

Having trouble with "keepass2android" on this ROM.
Problems are not unexpected, just wondering if anybody else has a problem, any suggestions.

 

[hedgehog99de]

Thank you Ivan for your work. But I think the ROM isn't ready for daily use. Standby battery livetime 6 hours only instead of more than 20 with LineageOS 19. And a lot of crashes in apps like K9-Mail, Filemanager+, Google search,... I go back to LineageOS19 and wait for a stable release of LineageOS20.

Keep in mind that some apps need to be updated to be compatible with android 13. This is mainly not a rom issue. The app developers need to update their apps as usually on every major android update

I want to update from Lineage 17.1
I want to keep my apps and data
Can I flash this ROM without wiping data ?

From me a big thanks to Ivan too, but I have exactly the same issues.
The battery drain is very huge. While watching YouTube it is like 0.5% per minute.

The App crashes are really weird, sometimes they crash permanent sometimes they dont and after a few restart is working again.

Contacts importing wont work because of missing rights, somebody knows how to fix that?

And sadly while making a phone call the called person is hearing a hugh echo.


Keep in mind, to go back to Lineagos 19.1 you have to wipe all data or you will enter a boot loop.

 

[joam280]

very good work, keep it up, waiting for a stable version

I know this, but the mentioned apps are running on a Pixel 6 with Android 13 without problems. So I think it's a ROM issue.
