For people with a battery problem, I recommend testing the latest version of riseKernel from Simon1511.

[KERNEL][P-S] riseKernel for A5|A7 2017

Dear folks, today I'm presenting my very own custom kernel for the Galaxy A5 and A7 2017! This kernel provides many features and a lot of customization. *To change settings, it's recommended to use HkTweaks by @corsicanu because it is made...

Hey there, sorry for the dumb question but this won't maybe work on an A3 perhaps? The 2017 one.
Thanks :)

You could try to extract an arm64 boot partition from some A3 ROM (preferably Lineage or Lineage-based) and flash that directly after flashing the A5 ROM, maybe it works. But most probably no support from dev since this isn't really intended use. No guarantee it will even boot though!

I am unable to play songs on Spotify lately. I don't know when this started or if it was introduced with a LOS update or Spotify update.

The symptom is that Spotify crashes when starting playback. A fraction of a second of sound may be produced.

Logcat says this:

I am running the 18.1 build from August 25th and Spotify. Afaics no changes have been made since then, so I didn't bother downloading the newer weekly builds. Spotify version is 8.7.64.478. I tried wiping all Spotify data, without success.

An update: It seems that I can avoid the crash by making sure the audio quality is set to at least "high". In this case Spotify doesn't seem to use Android's codecs and handle stuff itself. So set wifi, mobile steaming quality, set download quality, disable data saver, disable automatic quality adjustment.

As such the issue can be old. Usually I listen to pre-downloaded songs, and download them with very high quality.

LineageOS 19 Preview for Galaxy A5|7 2017

Like each year so far, it's time for Lineage 19 preview builds to be released, based on Android 12L.

Android-12L.png

​
Firstly, bear in mind that Lineage 19 is known to be in an early state as a rom at this point and issues aren't to be unexpected. I've however managed to get most of the standard lineage features working (kudos to lineage team). And device-wise, although there is still a lot of work that needs to be done under the hood, all of the phone functions should be working as before.

Important! If you are using TWRP you need to be on version 3.6.0 or higher to flash this. Older versions do not work and will splash loop.

Download: MEGA | androidfilehost | google drive
Google apps: Look for them here

If you find the work I did helpful, you can buy me coffee/beer/whatever via this link.

Changelog:

  • 20220503
    • Added an FE edition with DotOS qs panel along with the regular build
    • Added a workaround for SafetyNet check
    • Small monet fixes and improvements
    • Synced with the latest LineageOS sources

  • 20220319
    • Upgraded to Android 12L
    • March security patch
    • Fixed network traffic monitoring
    • Fixed issues with camera force close after some period of usage
    • Drop the monet disabler zip
    • Synced with the latest LineageOS sources

  • 20220216
    • Switch to kdrag0n monet implementation
    • Add monet settings
    • Add black theme

  • 20220204
    • Make just one (monet) build and a disabler zip
    • Follow light/dark theme in quick settings and power menu
    • Fix scrolling in encryption menu
    • Place volume panel on the left by default
    • Enable call recording in aosp dialer

Hi
NFC, for example, does not work for me on "SUBE" cards from Argentina (bus cards), I have not tried on credit cards, but the bus card does not read it. Could someone tell me why? Because in riseq it works fine

Is anyone having issues with camera?

A user of one of the A5s that I equipped with the LineageOS 18.1 ROM (currently on 20220818) provided here found by chance a workaround via the regular LineageOS camera app that I haven't seen reported here: Setting was "(4:3) 15,9 Megapixel" and cropping disappeared when choosing "(16:9) 11,9 Megapixel". Given that the image quality is anyway not that great, 11,9 MP seems well sufficient to me.

Just FYI.

Hello Option58,
I saw that in the Los19 version you added an option to manage Monet.
I can't find this option on another phone with Los19, what package did you use and can it be integrated into an official version? Do you have the src ?

Thanks Daniel

Am I only one having issue playing mp3 music thru Bluetooth headphones. Normal phone call or call thru messenger is working fine, but if I try to listen music true in build music player or third party app from play store, headphones are randomly disconnecting. Turning off battery optimization for music app did not helped. Does anybody have any solution?

p.s. using same headphone with same apps on s4 with lineage 18.1 works fine.

In LOS 18.1 build 20221013-nightly the UI will crash when I long-press any quick settings tile.
Anyone seen this behavior, know a solution, is it also in 19.1?
(I've cleared cache and dalvik. I use gapps pico)
Already reported a year ago but hmm https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/3715

EDIT: suddenly that problem went away.. nice 18.1 ROM but idle battery drain is so bad

I installed this ROM (LineageOS 19 Preview for Galaxy A5 | 7 2017) on the A7 phone. After two days of use, it's great, the battery consumption has decreased, and it's fast and beautiful. I think it can be used for daily use. Thanks to the creator of this ROM

    Thanks, in the end my mom decided to buy a new A13 to avoid the whole Android Pie losing support for secure/banking apps instead of letting me flash a different rom to tackle that issue 🤣 Oh well, I guess that means I've got myself a new device to mess around with 😋

    Because of the flashlight error of the preinstalled Camera, I installed OpenCamera. When I enable Camera2-API in the app settings, photos become 10 times larger. A comparable shot of 2.3 MB becomes 23 MB. This doesn't seem normal to me, especially since the photos don't seem any better in quality.
    Is Camera2 API even available on the A5 2017? Is it a bug of the ROM or of OpenCamera?

    I seem to remember, that there is (or was?) a problem with Samsung's vendor libraries which are used in this ROM.
    When taking a photo the libraries create a very large file (up to 32 MByte) and fill it with the resulting JPG contents (which are most times much smaller).
    And in the end "nobody" shrinks the file to the required size.
    Other cameras (Footej e.g.) handle the situation correctly. Only OpenCamera leaves the files (large) as they are.
    I do not remember if there was a workaround for the problem.

    In OpenCamera settings->Photo settings enable Stamp photos, it will reduce file size to normal size. If you don't want photos stamp, afterwards below disable time stamp, gps , date and address seperately.

    Lineage_OS_Logo_Wiki_main.jpg


    LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11 (r), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

    Code: 
    /*
* 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.
*/

    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 Gerrit Code Review.​

    FAQ
    Help my sim doesn't work
    Please read the installation instructions more carefully. Oreo firmware bootloader and modem is a must.
    You can find the collection along with the guide in this xda thread.

    I'm sometimes having crackling sound when listening to music
    Turn off 'ok google now' functionality in google app settings. If you have troubles finding it you can as well go to settings>apps, find app called 'google' and disable microphone permission.

    Does this rom support VoLTE?
    No. And it likely won't in the near future. Samsung's exynos VoLTE implementation is proprietary and non-standard. It is not possible on AOSP based roms for the time being.

    I have weird issues with camera (wrong resolution, issues with flash etc.)
    Тhis could very well be an issue with the included camera app. Try a third party camera app.

    My device fails to encrypt
    1. You were likely using older TWRP, update to the latest version
    2. Backup your data somewhere (external sd, pc...)
    3. In TWRP Advanced -> Format data.

    My hardware keys light up whenever I touch the screen
    Navigate to Settings->System->Buttons->Backlight and tick 'Illuminate buttons only when pressed'. You might want to reduce time on the scaler to 1 second, too.

    How to switch to full screen gestures
    1. Navigate to Settings->System->Buttons->Backlight and tick 'Enable on-screen nav bar'.
    2. Navigate to Settings->System->Gestures->System navigation and tick 'Gesture navigation'.

    I need help with google camera
    Please see this xda post.

    New build up!

    This one is huge. The changelog list is big and I've probably fixed more bugs in the previous 7 days than I did in the past 6 months.
    Lineage 17.1 for this device is getting better and a lot of bugs are squashed now. We can now declare this a beta!

    All the changes for this build are now properly sorted and merged-in. You can easily find everything at github.com/LineageOS, build the rom yourselves and contribute with new code, if you are able to.

    • Beta 3.0
      • Pulled RIL blobs from G965F Q firmware (more modern, fixes signal strength)
      • Fixed issues with connecting to RILD (fixes in-call volume, fixes echo in calls)
      • Updated GPS blobs from A720S P firmware (better signal, we are actually able to acquire a lock)
      • Updated fingerprint blobs from A720S P firmware (works more reliably, dropped all hacks)
      • Pulled sensors from A720F O firmware (cleaner)
      • Updated DRM to support Widevine L1
      • More HALs are binderized
      • Build FlipFlap (a flip cover app)
      • Fully written and enforced selinux policy
      • Latest LineageOS sources

    Also I've just updated my sources so you can fully build the rom again.

    I've tested some roms like PixelExperience today on my device. It's not bad with the added 'google' feel to it. Later I might test RR and others.
    All that I'm asking from both developers and users is please be clear that these roms are based on LineageOS. Meaning that most of the hard work that actually got them to work was done here, on LineageOS. And unfortunately most of the issues they are facing as well :p Work was done by RaymanFX, forkbomb, and in the latest days by me. Not respecting this makes me less motivated to keep working on the device.

    Cheers :highfive:
