I also tried it for a couple of hours yesterday. Battery life and performance is great. However, there are still some issues: SElinux is permissive, Netflix is not working, SD card is not recognised a couple of minutes after booting. All these issues were fixed in Rainbow Dash's PE ROM from February. I hope they get fixed soon for this new LOS. Otherwise, it is a major breakthrough as HWC is now working. Details will be polished eventually.
[ROM][PIE] LineageOS 16 (UNOFFICIAL) [31.03.2019][S9/S9+]
- Thread starter Rainbow_Dash
- Start date
I posted on the Telegram group. The SD Card appears not to be mounted until you enter your screen lock, then you see the persistent notification about the SD Card. If you type in 'sm set-force-adoptable true' in terminal or adb, you will then get the checking sd card followed by the option to setup your sd card as either Portable or internal storage. Be aware if you click internal your SD Card will be wiped so make a backup. If you choose Portable, I no longer get the persistent notification that I have to clear of the status bar. You will still get the Checking SD Card message which somehow is tied to the SD Card not mounting immediately when the phone boots and only does after unlocking the phone.
Here is more info about this bug that the kite device also has the issue to hopefully help answer what could cause this issue: https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/issues/496
I agree that this ROM is awesome and glad HWC is finally fixed. The only main issue for me is Google Voice Match is greyed out which a few months ago was fixed on other AOSP ROMs so the Google Libs are probably not added to this version.

What? Sdcard is fine. I don't know what you've done. Also Netflix is working fine as well. Seems you need to fix something on your end. My screenshot is unmodded playstore Netflix too.

Haven't done anything every AOSP with the S9 I've flashed when you boot it up, you will see a SD Card icon on the status bar and it says 'Samsung SD Card' Explore and Eject options are shown below that. I've tried formatting as either exFAT or Fat32 and even tried formatting in TWRP since I've had my S9 and with only AOSP do I get this prompt. Enabling Adoptable Storage is the only thing I've noticed that fixes that persistent prompt. Maybe it's certain SD Cards with certain sizes that does it, but this is what mine does and been flashing ROMs and built some ROMs since S2 so know a bit when it comes to AOSP. Even as a last test, put my SD Card in my S7 which doesn't have this issue so it's related to something within the S9 at least for me. I am also on the CSF2 vendor and boot loader so I am up-to-date on my G960F.
That is weird. I get the notification after a reboot but it just swipes away and there's no issues with using the card. I'm just using SanDisk 32gb card. Nothing special.

I have noticed that SD card issue comes up only if I try to enable SElinux enforcing via MTweaks app. If I leave SElinux permissive the SD card is mounting properly.
I guess SElinux permissive keeps a lot of things together in this new ROM - which is often done by devs with new ROMs. The moment you switch to enforcing, problems start.
I am glad that you told us that Netflix works on your side. It gives me hope that it may eventually work on my device too.
Is there any chance that you can convince the developer starting a thread here at XDA?
I'm pretty sure that it would be much appreciated.
And it could be an advantage for him as well, e.g. having a traceable conversation.
*Fingers crossed*
I tried this rom on my s9+ it was very laggy it made me feel like I'm using a phone from 2010
May be they'll do that after checking feedback from the first test build. So far, it seems pretty stable to me.

I did same. Except I flashed everything in one go. Works very fine for me. But before that, I'd also wiped internal storage, following which I copied the files in the phone and then began flashing in recovery. Vendor, los16, gapps, kernel, magisk. Added all zips one behind other and flashed at one go. Success.
Rom is super smooth and very fluid. No problem whatsoever at all.

Are you talking about the ROM from this thread or the one we're using from telegram? We've just hijacked this thread. The one from here doesn't have HWC fix.
If you're saying you flashed the telegram build and still have lags then there is 100% something wrong on your end. I've been using this for days and had not one lag.

Okay after flashing the ROM your way it looks like it is working better and smoother , but is there a way to make pixel launcher work ? I tried with quickswitch but didn't work

Yes I'm talking about the ROM in telegram with working hwc
He has a telegram chat with real time feedback. I'm sure that's all he needs.

tell me, how is client composition treating you?
3hr sot? vary sad, can't relate.
jk, on a serious note, HWC HAS BEEN FIXED. This itself brings many improvements with it but needs some testing.
also signalbar is now working sooo.... expect an update soon21
less than a hour tbh i was just a bit lazy and didnt touch s9 for quite some time15
Moderator Edit: Comments regarding other member's "backgounds" contravenes the Forum Rules...
Also the next update is far from complete. Much was broken in the process and it's being fixed. I never said, nor is it true that i won't release the update whenever it is finished9
That's me. And i said it on the tg group. And yes, that is true and what's holding back a release. We have somewhat an idea why it's not working
That and my sudden addiction to minecraft.
