[ROM][N960F][LineageOS 17.1][OTA][UNOFFICIAL][28/01/2020]

[abtekk]

What's working:

• Wi-Fi
• Bluetooth
• Mobile Network (Calling, Data, etc.)
• Audio (Stereo Speakers)
• Camera
• Fingerprint Sensor
• S-Pen Basics
• Call Recording
• HWC
• Signal Indicator
• GPS
• HDMI
• NFC
• MTP

What's not working:

• Iris sensor does not work because AOSP upstream does not support that yet.
• IMS services (VoLTE, VoWiFi, etc). Samsung has their own proprietary implementation. It is not really possible to easily port that to LineageOS.

Bugs:

• S-Pen/Mouse will cause small graphical glitches during button animations sometimes.

Instructions:

• Make sure TWRP has been installed and functional
• Reboot to recovery
• Wipe data and cache (required if you switch from other ROMs)
• Flash the latest build (then gapps and magisk if needed)
• Reboot

THE VENDOR.IMG IS PROVIDED AS PART OF THE ROM. FLASHING ANOTHER VENDOR WILL CAUSE A BOOTLOOP.

How to update builds?

• Do not wipe anything unless stated in the changelog
• Flash only the rom.zip and it will automatically reinstall your gapps, magisk, vendor etc
• use /system/addon.d if you would like to keep system mods after an update

Camera is not working right now. To fix:

adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /vendor
cd /vendor/lib
ln -s /vendor/lib/egl/libGLES_mali.so libOpenCL.so
ln -s /vendor/lib/egl/libGLES_mali.so libOpenCL.so.1
ln -s /vendor/lib/egl/libGLES_mali.so libOpenCL.so.1.1
cd /vendor/lib64
ln -s /vendor/lib64/egl/libGLES_mali.so libOpenCL.so
ln -s /vendor/lib64/egl/libGLES_mali.so libOpenCL.so.1
ln -s /vendor/lib64/egl/libGLES_mali.so libOpenCL.so.1.1

Then reboot, then camera will work.

It will be fixed really soon.

Edit: Its fixed. Redownload it.

As of this message, this is no longer necessary. If you downloaded a build earlier, please redownload it from the link in the thread.

The only apps downloadable from OpenGapps.com are for version 9.0 or older. The version 10 download is grayed out. It says, "Version 10.0 requires a patched ROM for proper WebView Support".

That said, I'm trying the ROM out anyway.

Error installing zip file '........(etc)'

E3004: This package is for device: crownltexx, this device is starlte.

Well the rom is for the note 9 only right now. You tried to flash it on a S9.

 

[crhylove]

Yep. I'm an idiot.

To

and reboot

There is no need to flash additional Vendor.zip package. Is this correct?
