The changelog of the beyond2lte (S10Plus / S10+)
lineage-19.1-20221214-nightly-beyond2lte-signed.zip
contains the line:
misc: tzdev: Update from G973FXXUGHVJ5
1. The S10+ designation is G975X
I would appreciate for clearance if that would be corrected.
But I guess, because the G973 and G975 use the same Exynos 9820 SOC, that it applies to the G975 aswell.
2. Between HVJ5 and HVG4 was
HVI4. People say it is it possible to flash from
HVI4 aswell. But its not listed in the changelog. Just to double check: No issues with flashing LOS on HVI4, right? Or is it only recommended to use HVJ5 and HVG4 as latest stock firmware?
3. Anyone tested to change ROM from HVJ5 yet?
Works
4. HVK1 was released in November.
-> Installing LOS from HVK1 aint possible yet as its not mentioned in the changelog. Right?
5. You website
https://lineage.linux4.de/fw_update/beyond2lte.html states that you need HVG4 for G975F devices, or HVJ5 for G975N devices.
This conflicts with the changelog linked above assuming the G973F meant G975F.
So:
Can G975
F devices now run HVJ5 as well and be able to flash LOS?
Or does this only apply to G975
N devices?
6. Ive read somewhere you mentioned LOS19.1 "is dead".
Are you a maintainer of OFFICIAL LOS20 again? Any insights on "how far"
OFFICIAL LOS20 ports are away from release?
Question to all users:
How stable is the - still Nightly designation - LOS 19.1 build with the LOS recovery?
@Linux4: Why is it still designated as Nightly?
Last time I messed with customs roms was withthe LG G5 h850, TWRP, Magisk, LOS and it worked good enaugh - but with the Galaxy S10 Series it seems to me kinda like a hassle:
So many small branch customs ROMs,
no further Ubuntu Touch effort,
TWRP aint recommended and seems messy,
Magisk aint recommended but Lygisk
...
As I just bought the device and it runs Stock HVK1, I would be required to downgrade to HVG4 or HVJ5 to install LOS19.1.
I am not too sure if I can afford spending 50 working hours into messing with this device trying around.
My main concern why I want a custom ROM:
Debloat,
Google Free,
Magisk modules like Callrecorder, or Magisk Bixby Button Remapper,
Xposed Module I forgot the name for: enabling more than 16 digit password for fully encrypted devices,
DNScrypt (root, Flash by custom Recovery, dunno if LOS recovery can do that?),
AFWall+ (root),
and a few other sec related features.
Any recommendation if LOS19.1 would be still a good idea for this particular moment in December, while already unoffical LOS20 releases by Linux4 have begun,
or is better if I just wait a few weeks and go from (hopefully) HVK1 to LOS20 directly - skipping the mess to downgrade to HVG4/HVJ5, flashing LOS19.1 and in a few weeks flashing LOS20 again?
Thanks
