Hello, good afternoon everyone, does anyone know how to make the type c to hdmi adapter work and not flash on the external monitor, in my case a television since in all my attempts it only worked once normally like in the samsung stock room but of course not I had flashed gapps, I had to go to twrp and I can't connect it anymore since the image is flashing and then the cell phone restarted last night I flashed the room with difficulties because my S8 has a smashed screen and well the only option What I used was that one and I wanted to give the cell phone more fluidity and it did change its performance while it was in that mode in the only attempt that worked for me and wow it is super fluid I hope you can use that function from HDMI to type C or as it is called display port in the future.

Here we go, with a bt of delay November 2023. builds are up

This took a bit longer than usual due to fact i was working on Android 14 and few other projects.
Android 14 builds will likely be out next month (December) so far they are pretty stable and feel smoother than android 13.

Huge thanks to everyone who supported this project with doations that help cover the build server cost
as noted previously i had to change donation email to ivan.meler0101+paypal@gmail.com/paypal.me/melerivan due to some issues with previous account
Thanks to everyone who supported project over the years once again and see you soon with android 14.

For OTA updates, after manually flashing this build OTA updates will work once again, sorry for any inconvenience caused by this

Enjoy new builds and stay safe

Here we go, December builds are out, Security updates and few small bug fixes are in them.

You should be able to use OTA if you installed November builds previously.

As always huge thanks to everyone who donated and helped cover the build server cost and keep the builds running, this project wouldnt be possible without them

Android 14 builds are just around the corner, Im fixing some sotrage related issues as i dont want anyone to end up with corrupt data.

Enjoy new builds, stay safe and happy incoming holidays

I also finally had time to fix some remaining bugs in android 14 so releases are coming soon (Unfortunately missed my target to release them before years end)

As always huge thanks to everyone who has supported this project and helped cover the build server cost, this project wouldnt be possible without comunity support.

Enjoy new builds and stay safe.

Here we go, March security update is here.
LineageOS 21 builds wont get update this time around as new qpr is still being merged and fixed up
There were a lot of changes from google in their quarterly platform update soboth LineageOS codebase
and some device changes are needed for it to be on par with previous builds.

There will be april builds for it soon so it made no sense to push half baked update today.

Hi,
thanks for your work.
It is possible to download the february update anywhere? The March update broke my complete sound on the phone. No music and ringtones anymore.

April security update is here, nothing more to it this time around
Unfortunately as you might have noticed patches were posted a bit later past 2 months due my schedule
Ill also fix Lineage 21 qpr merge in coming days and release update for those builds too, there were tons of changes in qpr that turned out to be a bit problematic

As alwasy huge thanks to everyone who supported this project and helped cover the build server cost.
Enjoy new builds and stay safe

    *
    * 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.
    */

    Working:
    - Wifi
    - Sound
    - mali drivers
    - USB tethering

    Not Working
    - HWC is temporarily disabled, should be fixed in next few builds


    Take a note that a lot of LineageOS features have not been completed yet this is not a device bug and please do not report those
    in this rom thread as you will be reported to moderator also do not post bug reports for known issues or bug reports without proper
    a) Logcat
    b) proc/last_kmsg (or proc/kmsg)
    c) data/tombstones
    d) dmesg

    Also do not under any circumstances post bug reports if you are using substratum themes or unsupported magisk modules or you have performed any system modifications

    Donations help cover the build server cost and since I do this in my free time, and also cover the coffee for time spent debugging stuff


    Feel free to join telegram group with early builds progress updates and some off topic stuff Join

    Due to requests from some users I added signature spoofing support to the rom which allows usage of MicroG
    you can simply install MinMicroG and grant it needed permissions for signature spoofing to make it work as intended

    Big thanks to everyone who supported this project as their donations help cover the build server cost
    also we are almost there with android 12 just sensor hal left to finish up as it was causing some random crashes
    16
    Here is a little teaser of a12 on s8
    Builds for 8895 based devices are almost ready (I posted 8890/s7 builds yesterday) I just have to figure out race condition in ril which causes it to break randomly on reboot, when it comes to general usability everything else is as stable as it was previously and android 12 actually runs faster even on older devies like s7 and s8/n8
    Builds should be up this week finally as this is last thing on todo list and i took a day off to figure it out
