I seem to have similiar problems after the update.

Over the last night my phone went from 38% to 0 in standby. That has never happened before.

And just now the phone got very warm in my pocket. I hadn't used it and no apps where in RAM. Only a Whatsapp Message was reiceved on the phone...

ah what a shame, i thought this was the one but the echo on the receiver end basically makes this a deal breaker as a daily driver.

thank you for all your hard work on this, and i hope to return to it one day if the echo can be sorted.

Possible solution to the ECHO PROBLEM:

With the volume buttons:
- Press the volume down or up during the call and the echo will disappear.

At least this method works for me and I hope it works for everyone.

Note:
I use Simple Dialer to make calls, but the solution also works for WhatsApp calls.

You can download Simple Dialer from here:

Make sure to give permissions to the app as shown in the image below:

Hi all,

I have a SM Galaxy S7 edge with LOS 17.1 (even from Ivan) here.
Which is the easiest way to update to LOS 18.1 ... without loosing data(!)?

I would do like so:
- download LOS 18.1 (from here) and gapps to phone
- boot into TWRP (3.5.2_9-0 in my case)
- install LOS 18.1 and gapps (NikGapps-basic-arm64-11 in my case)
- wipe Cache/Dalvik
- reboot
Will this work?

I installed the ROM yesterday and so far it is perfect except the camera app makes selfies mirrored even I uncheck the option from camera options. Is there a solution for this bug?

Formatted again to give this a shot because I would dearly love to make it work but unfortunately this did nothing for me.

I have the s7 edge, SM-G935F.

A little bit of interesting information (although my testing so far has been limited) is that you can install the MoRoKernel-AllInOne-CUA1-v8.8.1 and it works with this rom. located at https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=14943124697586354357

it unfortunately doesn't resolve the echo issue though, so I have no clue how to progress this further...

Both MoroSound and MoroKernel, and the dialer (along with changing the volume mid call and before the call) do nothing to fix the echo problem. so i'm kinda out of ideas.

Has anybody else the problem that the phone looses connectivity pretty often? Sometimes Wifi, sometimes mobile. At least every two days, sometimes several times a day. Only a reboot helps.
This started about half a year ago and both on the 17.1 and 18.1 variants of this ROM. It seems as if the situation is deteriorating, in the beginning I could switch on/off Wifi to regain connections, now I have to reboot.

I already upgraded the modem firmware, didn't help.

I wonder if this is a ROM problem or some hardware malfunction.

    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.

    As always huge thanks to everyone who donated to help cover the build server cost.
    This project wouldnt be possible without you.

    Enjoy new builds and stay safe

    - Mobicore
    - SW codecs

    Not Working
    -



    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



    Install gapps right after installing the rom itself dont try to boot to system before that if you want to use gapps
    NikGapps and BiTgapps were both tested and working

    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
