as you can see this ''arm64-11'' is for exactly the android version which means it's for android 11 (LineageOS 18.1) but it is built on 2021.09.09
[ROM][STABLE][Signature Spoofing/MicroG support][OTA updates] LineageOS 18.1 for S7 Exynos
- Thread starter Ivan_Meler
- Start date
First, thank you for the image! It works perfectly for one of my family members except this camera problem. She says that this happens frequently with her phone and it works again after a reboot. Is there something we can configure or test in this case?
A reboot is not absolutely necessary. it is sufficient to close the camera app. Try Kill Camera from f-droid store.
So here are some progress updates, This time about something that was bothering a lot of people.
So lets talk about camera which would stop working after prolonged use.. This issue has been bothering me for over 2 years now but it was one of trickiest issues to deal with as described here https://github.com/8890q/android_device_samsung_universal8890-common/issues/5
Reason why this was so tricky is because camera lib is completely blobbed and there is no source for it so it required some reverse engineering (a lot of it)
first time around we just removed all fd closes from lib which left file descriptors open and once there were too many camera would stop working.. Anyhow since i had a bit more time due to corona i was able to really invest that time into android and look into and finaly i got a solution that is not hacky and resolves issues with camera once and for all (Or as long as google doesnt decide to drastically change something again)
Anyhow camera wont be crashing after ~20 min of use anymore and you wont have to reboot phone to continue using it.
Once again big thanks for all donations that help cover the build server cost and that got me coffee (I really needed coffee to fight with android fdsan weirdness to fix this haha)
New build with camera fix implemented will be out in a few days together with february security update and few other bug fixes, This affects all of 7 and 8 series exynos devices (8890/8895)

Hi! Is it mandatory to wipe everything before flash an update (I'm from 18.1 august build) or can I just flash the 18.1 feb22 build zip from TWRP?
And how long did you use the camera before failing? Also, I'm interested to know if we have to upgrade our TWRP or Gapps. I have been using the latest from Aug. 2021. Don't know if that affects performance.
Hi,
unfortunately the hardware buttons "back" and "app history" stopped working after dirty flashing from December build to February build. They still are illuminated on keyboard activity but pressing them doesn't show any reaction. The other buttons (volume, power, home) still work.
Is there anyone else with te same problem? Is there a known workaround or fix?
Thanks,
Stephan

No problems here flashing Feb over Jan build. Hardware buttons work as they should.
Hi, after another restart of the phone the problem is gone, at least for the moment.
Unfortunately microg hasn't had safetynet api working for few years now, you would have to use gapps to get it to work
OK, but if I use gapps, Doctor Google and Mister DataSucker will retrieve my datas right ? My major motivation in getting into LOS was to get rid of Google as much as I can.
As I encounter random freezes (e.g. in Brave Browser or Signal's internal camera), my experience is somewhat similar. The only way to get out of such a freeze is a manual reboot by pressing Volume-Down and Power at the same time for some seconds.
I'm using:
- lineage-18.1-20220211-UNOFFICIAL-herolte
- BiTGApps-arm64-11.0.0-R45_signed
- twrp-3.6.0_9-0-herolte
I live in Germany, my provider is congstar/Telekom.
Could my problems be connected with bitgapps?

tho since this is sec vulnerability in packageinstaller if you use 3rd party one like one from larger google apps package your gapps might have outdated package installer
or it might just be false positive1
Thanks for the infos. Update history on the device tells me that there is no lack of updates - a lot of apps got updated recently, including the Google ones. So, seeing the commit you linked to and regularly incoming updates, I chose not to worry (and on top, the CVE mentions that the exploit needs user interaction anyway).that cve is definitely patched

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

b) proc/last_kmsg (or proc/kmsg)
c) data/tombstones

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
