Now remains the crop problem on camera2. Latest camera.snap seems works without issues
[ROM][A5|7 2017] LineageOS 18.1 Official / 19 Preview
- Thread starter Option58
- Start date
Are the sources for your LOS19 builds for A5/A7 are already publicly accessible for own test builds?
Firstly, they aren't mine, and secondly, no they aren't as far as I'm aware
Not sure any of us tried them, but try if you want and report back
I assume that your question refers to LineageOS 19 Preview. It is only a PREVIEW, as a daily driver I would not use this ROM yet, only for testing...
Coming from KoreanPie, after I install this ROM can I go back to KoreanPie if I find performence issues?
And since Lineage releases weekly updates, if I ignore the updates altogether will the device malfunction or i will only be missing out on bugfixes and new features and security enhancements?
Also if anyone has a few, can you post some screenshots?
thanks in advance
I went ahead and flashed the rom, but i can't flash mindthegapps zip. every time i try i get this error:
Could not mount /mnt/system! Aborting
How do i fix this?

Don't use mindthegapps, it seems to cause issues on our device, go for opengapps arm64 instead

1Good job but I have this issue.
Installing "lineage-18.1-20220602-nightly-a5y17lte-signed.zip" shows this fingerprint:
"Target: samsung/a7y17ltesk..."
and after the installation it is so in build.prop.
It should be "a5y17ltexx" and I think that it could be relationed with magisk not working.1Is there any solution to the flashlight not in sync? it's mentioned here:
if not, what third party camera app do you recommend?a5y17lte: flashlight not in sync with camera snapshot (#4159) · Issues · LineageOS / issues / android · GitLab

Today I turned on my A5 phone and now it's possible to download Netflix from PlayStore (nothing done to solve it)1
Hi,
FE is kind of a joke I made. It means Fan Edition and what makes it special is that is has DotOS quick settings panel and a custom bootanimation.
A5 being A7 in settings has no consequences whatsoever as the kernel gets patched correctly anyway.
You other questions could probably be answered by a guide @Simon1511 made: https://telegra.ph/Passing-safetynet-with-Magisk-v24-and-newer-03-031@Option58
In practice, the end user does not notice the problems, so also not whether his data is possibly insecure... How is data protection guaranteed?
Both ROMs LOS18-Official and LOS19-Preview are since many months together in one thread, an overview is very difficult or even impossible, since in the posts often the reference is missing.
Wouldn't a separation be recommendable? The situation would be much more transparent and everyone would know the risks of using LOS19-Preview... -
125LineageOS 18.1 Official for Galaxy A5|7 2017
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.

Last Updated 2020-08-1388LineageOS 19 Preview for Galaxy A5|7 2017Firstly, 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.
Like each year so far, it's time for Lineage 19 preview builds to be released, based on Android 12L.
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.

38FAQ
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.
My camera flash doesn't work
This is an issue with the camera app. Just tap to focus anywhere and it will start working.
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'.18New 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
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=30460317Also 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 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:
