I'm having major battery issues with this ROM on my A5 (rooted with Magisk v26.1). It lasts fine throughout the day without much usage, but always dies overnight. System battery monitor says Bluetooth is taking ~230%. GSam says pretty much the same. I also tried riseKernel 1.11, but no difference. Any ideas?

Edit: If it helps, I've also got MindTheGapps as found on the LineageOS wiki. Thanks

Disabling Bluetooth didn’t change anything. I’ve also disabled scanning for networks and devices while off.

Yes, me too. Today I put the phone on the desk for 5min and when picked it up I noticed that it went from 80 to 74%. This doesnt happen when the Display is ON.

Something is not right with 18.1, why does it eatup so much battery everytime you turn off the screen. I put it (screen off) for 10 min wifi on at 53% when turned it back on and guess what!, 45%. Is it just me.

    LineageOS 20 Unofficial for Galaxy A5|7 2017

    Lineage_OS_Logo_Wiki_main.jpg


    LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 13 (t), 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.​

    What's working?
    • Audio
    • Calls
    • Wifi
    • Hotspot
    • Mobile data
    • GPS
    • Bluetooth
    • Fingerprint
    • Hardware composer
    • OpenMAX (hardware encoding/decoding)
    • Camera (photos + recording)
    • NFC
    • Sensors
    • Vibration
    • Double tap to wake
    • Always on display

    What's broken?
    • FDE (full disk encryption) has been fully deprecated in android 13
    • Network traffic monitoring
    • Sepolicy is permissive

    Supported variants

    All variants of Galaxy A5 (2017) and Galaxy A7 (2017). Dual SIM is also supported.

    How to install
    1. Make sure you had Samsung's Oreo firmware bootloader and modem before installing this.
    2. Make sure you are using the latest official TWRP version.
    3. Download the lineage build and optionally google apps.
    4. In TWRP format data (if you still have stock rom encryption).
    5. In TWRP wipe data and cache.
    6. Flash LineageOS.
    7. Optional: Flash Google apps (rightafter).
    8. Reboot.
    It's okay to dirty flash new updates.

    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.

    Will you fix the bugs? Will this version ever go official?
    I've already fixed everything I was able to. The main drawback is that our linux kernel 3.18 has become too old. Our devices starting showing their age. Because of this version will not go official.

    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.

    Help! I have problems with my bank app/my device is failing SafetyNet.
    Try following this guide by Simon1511.
