[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][12][OTA][OSS] LineageOS 19.1 for Galaxy S9/S9+ Exynos

[josip-k]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 12, 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. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Instructions:

• Follow the instructions here

Downloads:

• Builds: https://exynoobs.github.io/OTA/
• GApps: MindTheGapps

Reporting Bugs

• DO NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel or you installed Xposed
• DO NOT Report bugs if you're using TWRP
• Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
• If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
• If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log

Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

Installing LineageOS for the first time

1. Flash lineage recovery
   Only the provided lineage recovery will be supported,
   using TWRP might result in a possible data loss!!
   If using Odin rename the lineage recovery image for your model to recovery.img and add it to a .tar archive using e.g 7zip.
   If using Heimdall use: heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img --no-reboot
2. Boot lineage recovery
   IMPORTANT: Do not boot into system again before booting recovery, or system will restore stock recovery!
   If using Odin untick auto-reboot before flashing.
   After flashing reboot by pressing Volume Down and Power for approximately 7 seconds,
   immediately hold Volume Up, Bixby and Power to boot recovery
   boot recovery via Volume Up, Bixby and Power.
3. Factory reset using Factory reset -> Format data/factory reset
   Warning: Unlike TWRP this will also erase internal storage!
4. Sideload LineageOS by enabling sideload via Apply Update -> Apply from ADB
   Then run adb sideload <path to your lineage.zip> on your PC
   Optional:
5. Sideload GApps and magisk by repeating above step
   with their zip/apk

• This build does not use the stock vendor, instead it's built on top of new trees which have been worked on for some time. The source is on our github, link in OP. You also get a few neat features like fingerprint gestures, and bixby button that actually works with both normal and long press.
• I suggest using OpenCamera since stock one has some issues with flash.
• These builds are signed with our release keys.
• star2lte and crownlte support will come a bit later as i don't own the devices, but they will be supported eventually.

THESE BUILDS HAVE FORCE ENCRYPTION ENABLED, AND ONLY LINEAGE RECOVERY IS SUPPORTED. THESE THINGS WILL NOT CHANGE. IF YOU DON'T USE LINEAGE RECOVERY, AND SUFFER FROM DATA LOSS, DON'T COMPLAIN HERE.

LTE/4G works with this ROM

 

[Razuuu]

Hey, thank you very much for this ROM, it's really smooth! Everything works except my second SIM.

For the first release this is pretty nice... and ... this is my first experience with Android 12 / LineageOS 19

 

[josip-k]

star2lte build is up as well, find it at the link in the OP

 

[Redmanha]

BIG THANKS to the devs... NOW my S9+ will get a new life.

Edit: Did a test with 2 SIMs and only SIM1 is detected - no SIM2 so far... the Rest is really great work!!!

 

[hellboysz]

Great Job, Fresh install and my S9+ is (almost) Brand New!

I installed it with Samsung tool Odin recovery Lineage
Installing the rom with a sd card in de recovery, no sideload use! That works great!

Keep up the great work!

When accessing the *#*#4636#*#* service menu (Testing) → Phone information, all the toggles for: VoLTE, Video Calling, WiFi Calling, EAB are off and greyed out (unable to be toggled on).

Feels damn fast but no second sim in S9

 

[Mr-Dutch]

Can someone tell me why Lineageos Recovery is the only way to go?
And does it bring the same features as TWRP or is it really based for LineageOS?
Thanks for the info!

Since Magisk Guru is working for Google I hear a lot of complains about Magisk 24.
Does anyone have some good experience with Magisk 24 and rooting and hiding?

I don't know the reasons (time/effort?), but TWRP doesn't support encrypted partitions which this rom forces.

 

[ChopsOSS]

Is there a list of working/non working features in this rom?

 

[nobby_nobody]

I just wanna say : This ROM is amazing, is blazing fast, super easy install flow, no problems at all; I have no seconds SIM to test however, in my phone the "App Switcher" from the bottom nav bar isn't working, I'm the only one? Keep the amazing work @DeHuMaNiZeD
