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).

Based off the Exynos7420 organization source code.

Current issues:
  • VoLTE, WiFi Calling - proprietary Samsung implementation won't work under Lineage
  • Bluetooth audio in calls
  • SELinux Permissive

Refer to: https://github.com/fakemanoan/LineageOS-Releases/blob/lineage-19.1-7420/compatability.md

Reporting a bug
If you are experiencing a bug or issue with my ROM, open a Github issue with AT LEAST:
1) A description of the issue
2) Version of lineage you are running (ie. Android version, date of build)
3) Include a logcat, bugreport, dmesg, or last_kmsg when the issue occurs, whatever is necessary
4) Provide ALL necessary information

Do not report a bug if you are:
  • running a custom kernel
  • using an unsupported device or build i did not create
  • the issue is already known about (VoLTE for example)
  • is a generic lineageos issue/request (asking me to change a default launcher for example).
Read the FAQ and see if your answer is in there!

FAQ:
I have echo in phone calls!

Samsung devices have echoing issues in LineageOS. The problem can be mitigated with mixer_paths.xml tweaks, which I have done to the best of my ability.

My banking/other apps aren't working!
Chances are this is due to your device failing attestation checks.

Certain apps need your device to pass Play Integrity API. This is a test to see whether or not your device can be trusted. Currently, our device is not trustworthy due to SELinux Permissive, among other issues. In the meantime, you can install Play Integrity bypass modules in Magisk to get around this limitation mostly. Refer to general XDA threads for these issues.

My camera wont flash properly when taking a picture
The stock camera app won't sync the flash at the right time. However, other camera apps are reported to work fine. For example, GCam Go is a good alternative that is known to work on our device.

My phone shuts off randomly and when I plug it in, it is at 0%!
Your battery is severely degraded and needs replacing. This is not an issue with the ROM.

When is the next release?
The next release will come out when it is ready

I have a problem not on this list!

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 :)

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
  • HWC
What's not working:
  • VoLTE and other proprietary Samsung stuff
  • Fingerprint
  • You tell me

Will the Edge models be supported? (G925)
Yes, but for the moment just flat models whilst everything gets sorted.

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.

I have a problem!
Post relevant problem and debugging information (ie logcat, last_kmesg etc) here or on github


If you want to see the project improve , help by contributing code!

Changelog:

23.08.2022
Initial Release for flat models

ROM works like a charm for now uptime 12 hrs Plus no RR (random Reboots) etc here a promotional video
appreciate the support! :)

Damnnnnnnnnn that's so coolllll!!!! I can't wait for S6 edge (zeroltexx) to get the update. Any estimate as to when will G925 get the update?
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

    Hello, how does OTA update work so that I can update from March version to April version? Can it be performed within Android or TWRP is needed?

    Seems there was an issue on previous builds relating to camera firmwares. This has been resolved in this build:

    Note: If you didn't have an issue with cameras, you dont need to update

    G920W8 (zerofltecan) users can test a build from last month for their device. Currently LTE data wont work, but in APN settings, toggling IPv4 and IPv4/IPv6 is a temporary work around.
