I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

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.

Great news. I am really looking forward to how this ROM and the CM14.1 develop with time, hopefully all the issues get fixed with time and we can finally enjoy the clean stock google experience on this amazing phone.

This is fantastic news!! Thanks for all your hard work.
I thought the chances of seeing AOSP based ROM actually working on an Exynos platform were slim to none.
I hope you keep at it until it becomes suitable for a daily driver.

It's never impossible to see CM or AOSP based ROMs on Exynos devices I remember when I had a tab s 8.4 and they finally made CM stable and had fixed everything with extra help from users etc... With logcats and all other logs

Thank you @Fevax for your amazing work!! here's my report after using your rom for 12 hours

Pros:
- Very very fluid and light
- Auto-brightness works well
- WiFi, Bluetooth, SIM work well
- Sound is loud enough
- Touchscreen and hardware buttons work perfectly
- Alarm woks

Cons:
- SIM contacts not detected
- SD Card not fully accessible
- Camera (obviously)
- Batterylife is moderate (no deep-sleep)
- No CM theme engine ((general cm14.1 issue))
- Scrolling through some apps is laggy

    Yeah I am totally aware of the Exynos nightmare, I was just wondering how they dealt with previous CM versions. Were there an official support for CM13,14,... for S6 and S7 (both missing from lineage offficial) or was it always based on unofficial built?
    Official builds will come the next week ;)
    20
    Weekly builds have been re-enabled and I have joined official herolte/hero2lte LineageOS maintainers.

    The following device-specific things are fixed in today's build:
    • BUGBASH-1270 OTA updater (thanks @fabwu for doing most of the work). Ota updates will start to work AFTER manually installing this build and TWRP version 3.2.1-1 (or newer). CC: @Blato @pluto123 @gnarf49
    • BUGBASH-840 Low microfone recording volume
    • BUGBASH-1169 Inability to play videos and phone overheating + draining battery, after playing some/many videos (this is fixed by workaround, proper fix will be included in one of further builds)
    18
    Samsung releases kernel source with almost all major update, so we have sources, and (on Google git) it's available the exynos5 userspace source (deprecated, but modified to work with new devices by cm staff)

    So, it's true, we doesn't have "proper and specific" source for every device like qcom has, but we have a great group of people working every day to make this happen, backtracing, decompiling apps and lib, researching how the weird Sammy works...
