LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 10, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

Code: 
#include <std_disclaimer.h>

/*
 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * We are 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 us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you.

This is an unofficial LineageOS 17.1 build for the SM-G850W which is a Snapdragon variant of Galaxy Alpha and has an unlocked bootloader.
This ROM does not work with Exynos variant (SM-G850F) nor a locked bootloader (SM-G850A).

Known Issues
  • None

Instructions

  1. Make sure that your SM-G850W has the Lollipop bootloader and modem (The last installed stock ROM must be 5.0.2).
  2. Flash TWRP recovery via Odin.
    • Use Odin without 'Auto Reboot' option.
    • After flashing TWRP via Odin, reboot to TWRP recovery (Vol UP + Home + Power). Don't reboot to the stock image which restores the stock recovery.
  3. Boot to TWRP recovery (Vol UP + Home + Power).
  4. Optional: Wipe data / Factory Reset
  5. Install the ROM (Lineage zip).

Hi
Thank you for your time
It has three bugs for me
Dark Mood is not black and has a very bad color. Hands-free Jack doesn't work. It doesn't sound to me when you call.
I saw these three bugs. Thank you for your work and your time

problem

I have some problems. 1. Every few minutes, the Bluetooth headphones turn on and off. 2. I can't put the screen on the TV. 3. After about 1 month of using the notification bar, it logs too much.

bug

This ROM has several bugs 1. Very low microphone noise when sending voice in WhatsApp and when calling 2. After a week, he works in applications and is forced to close WhatsApp and most applications. The notification bar and status come down with a lag 3. The welding speaker is filled with noise by raising the volume of the melody 4. When connecting the Bluetooth handsfree to the phone, it will be disconnected every five minutes On the official ROM, there are no problems with the microphone volume and Bluetooth disconnected

Thank you for your effort
