Development [ROM][13.0][ENCRYPTION] Official LineageOS 20 for A52s 5G

[Simon1511]

1. The screen randomly flickers. I hope this is a bug, phone was never dropped or anything.

Hmm, never seen that before. If you can then wait until the next build and see if that fixes it, shouldn't take long until then.

2. After unsuccessful fingerprint unlock from AOD, the fingerprint sensor stops responding until phone is waken up.

This is an issue with how AOSP handles fingerprint. I've been searching for a way to fix that, but haven't found one yet.

3. On first call, the dialer screen didn't show up when I've received call. Then I couldn't dial contacts, got error message. Reboot fixed this. Both happened only once so far.

Shouldn't be too much of an issue if it only happened once. Might wanna try out different dialer/contacts apps though, for example Google's.

Ok. This happened overnight. It started yesterday or day before yesterday. Before that nothing.

This is an issue with how AOSP handles fingerprint. I've been searching for a way to fix that, but haven't found one yet.

Is it possible to add code that would reset fingerprint after input from AOD? Like a workaround instead of fix?

Shouldn't be too much of an issue if it only happened once. Might wanna try out different dialer/contacts apps though, for example Google's.

I thought about changing the app, but I'm going to wait and see if it happens again.

Thank you. Awaiting update in the next weeks (if not days).

I have stock OneUI, and my screen flickers the exact same way on 2G only. It is a common hardware issue (I guess). Someone also posted about it on xda. My guess, because AOSP roms on Samsung phones can't use VoLTE, they fall back on 3G/2G for calls, which normally wouldn't be a problem, but it does cause flickering on this device specifically if it falls to 2G with weak signal.

Thanks for the input. Looks about the same. 2G seems to be the issue. I'm going to swap SIM to another phone and see if the same thing happens without the SIM. After this I did some googling and found out many people have this issue. I'm going to post this on some subreddits too, hopefully Samsung will step in. This is unacceptable quality from 300€ phone from such a big company as Samsung. Thank you.

I'm going to say this ROM is very impressive and half stable I'm having alots of bugs but still it's stable unlike the crdroid ROM died on black screen after I flashed full gapps while the lineage worked fine

 

[Tuned modified]

Bugs the sim card when I turn off like sim 1 or 2 and try to turn it on again it won't turn on unless I restart my phone same goes for pixel experience and the freedom is very very buggy the app gets stuck on my wallpaper for no reason

 

[Tuned modified]

Missing feature Fullscreen mode even on pixel experience

What do you mean? Do you want apps to use full screen? You can do that in Setting>Display>Full screen apps. Although, all I have there is F-Droid. Otherwise, all my apps are in fullscreen.

I was on 2G for a while since I was at a place no one really knew and there were mountains and I barely had any 2G signal, whatsoever the screen didn't flicker at all from what I can remember. Not sure.

Yeah, from what I can tell not all A52s devices are affected with this.

 

[Tuned modified]

Full screen setting exist but I'm trying to mzme an app full screen but don't know how

Can I dirty flash it or do I need to format data?

You can just dirty flash it.

 

[ĽubomírKonečný]

You can just dirty flash it.

Ok. Thanks. It's working fine. I had some issues with automatic brightness after flash, but it works fine for now.

hope this rom doesn't have malware/keylogger

Scanned with Malwarebytes, Avira, Avast and Bitdefender and results were clean. Why would it have malware though?

Are you serious ?

Simon1511 shared his sources.
You can check them out and build the ROM yourself.

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 13, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
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 out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

/*
* 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.

Installation instructions

Make sure you are on OneUI 5 firmware (D bootloader or newer) before flashing this ROM, otherwise the installation might fail or not boot!

Installing using TWRP/OrangeFox

1. Make sure your device's bootloader is unlocked.
2. Make sure to have the latest available version of TWRP/OrangeFox installed.
3. If wanted, backup all your necessary partitions (super, boot, vendor_boot, data, EFS) before flashing this in case something goes wrong.
4. Download the lineage build for your device from the link below and optionally download your preferred GApps package too.
5. Flash the LineageOS zip using the "Install" button.
6. Optionally, flash Gapps right after.
7. Format data in TWRP/OrangeFox as the very last thing, otherwise you may end up in a bootloop if coming from stock ROM.
8. Wipe metadata and cache partitions. This only has to be done once when you install LineageOS.
9. Reboot

Downloads

It would be better to have LineageOS Official
