LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 12 (S), 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.

After a long wait, here is Android 12L for the Samsung Galaxy S6! Though it is a beta with some issues, I figure I release it.

Based on the Exynos7420 source code.

What's working:

• Bluetooth
• Telephony (Calls, SMS, Mobile Data)
• WiFi/Hotspot
• NFC
• GPS
• Camera
• Fingerprint
• HWC

What's not working:

• VoLTE and other proprietary Samsung stuff
• SELinux Permissive
• You tell me

I have echo in phone calls!
Echoing in calls has been a problem for Samsung devices for a long time. Not aware of a fix as of yet. But using some old mixer_paths tweaks, the problem can be mitigated somewhat

My banking/other apps arent working!
Chances are this is due to SafetyNet failing. In order to get SafetyNet to pass, you need to root your device with magisk, and install several magisk modules. This should fix the issue. However, SafetyNet will not natively pass due to invalid build fingerprints and SELinux permissive. It has been this way for a long time on the S6, and I might be able to get it working again, but it will take time. Use the above workaround for the time being

My camera wont flash properly when taking a picture
This is a bug on a lot of samsung devices. The native AOSP camera app does not properly sync the flash, however using third party camera applications does not have this issue, so until this problem is resolved use third party camera app, like GCam.

I have a problem not on this list!
Post relevant problem and debugging information (ie logcat, last_kmesg, syslog etc) here or on github
Use an app like Syslog and attach logs. If I don't have logs, the chances of me fixing it is low.

What devices are currently supported?
Currently the G920F and G925F are supported.
ROMs for the Canadian and Sprint models will come later

wow great work!!! Will try it soon, my S6 is not with me yet. Wish I can try it now :cheers:. Also thanks for bringing this old phone up to-date.

 

[ArmashOnXDA]

WOAHHHHHHHH :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Will it be available for the S6 Edge soon? zeroltexx/SM-G925

 

[fakemanoan]

:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Will it be available for the S6 Edge soon? (G925F/I)

yes. but for now while its a bit buggy, focusing on 1 device

 

[TomTran1408]

Good news, I just have a bootloop on my S6 so I did a factory reset so there's nothing on my phone right now (Nothing to worry because I backed up all my data into laptop already). Might try it in tommorow. This phone is my main phone currently so I'll test on it

 

[TomTran1408]

mine is G920F so hoping that everything is fine

appreciate the support!

dont hold me to this, but (hopefully) i plan to have all s6 variants with an A12L release by the end of the week, including W8 variants.

I still can't get the fingerprint sensor working properly. I don't want to keep the releases back if that doesn't work though, as everything else appears to work fine.

After I release the new builds, i'll try get SELinux to enforcing, DT2W and the new pixel power HAL working. We'll see how that goes lol
