LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 13 (T), 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.

Common FAQ​

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, but using some old mixer_paths tweaks, the problem can be mitigated somewhat

Why won't VoLTE work?
Because Samsung devices have a proprietary implementation of this which has yet to be integrated into Lineage or any other AOSP ROM. If you require VoLTE, then you must use a Samsung stock ROM.

In some areas of the world, VoLTE is the only option for receiving calls. If this is the case, this ROM probably isn't the best fit for you.

Why won't my banking or other apps work?
We do not natively pass safetynet currently, however with magisk modules you can pass it relatively easily, and this should be enough to get most apps working.

SELinux is permissive!
Yes SELinux is permissive. As far as I know, every custom ROM the S6 received has SELinux permissive. SELinux rules have to be created in order to get enforcing. Until that time comes, it is not feasible to go enforcing.

If you need SELinux enforcing, stock ROMs are your only option for now.

I have a problem not on this list!
Post a bug report, preferably on GitHub. Provide relevant details to the issue, such as what the issue is, how you produced it, your model, OS version and logcats.

I get asked for a Lineage 20.0 release every so often, so I figure I release something in a semi-working state for you all to play around with.

This ROM is in an ALPHA state, meaning that it is probably not ready to daily drive. Please keep this in mind before wiping your stable builds. Thanks

G920F only supported at this stage.

Very exicted to try it out!!

 

[mmcluke]

Any plans to build one version for s6 edge?

 

[Ufos97]

Fingerprint sensor not scanning. It's detecting the finger when placed to record print but it's not scanning

 

[Ramtin.j]

**request**
Please add these item in your project if possible:

--change lineage launcher, like the Pixel phone rom's, which can set the color of the apps icons with the wallpaper.

--Stereo speaker ((DolbyAtmos)) like oneu ui and >>Fade led notification like floyd oneui rom

--Try to fix IR sensor, because I use it everyday.

Thanks for make lineage 20 for this old phone

 

[Aiden2020]

i tested the rom for days now and heres my feedback:
1-same performance and bugs as the 19.1 rom ,but you arleady know that ,however i noticed something important ,a small detail but that can make a big difference for the ui performance. its the display HZ ,i tested almost every rom on the s6 and noticed that roms who has 60hz like the pixel experience plus android 10 is very fluid and fast, while others are set to 59hz make the ui laggy sometimes .and its logical even on pc if you have a 60 hz dont put it at 59hz you can get some fluidity issues.even the samsung rom for the s6 its at 59hz and thats make it laggy sometimes. so please in the next builds try to put it a 60hz it will really help the phone to get stable performances, and wil surely help you in your builds. now i not a phone expert but here what i think and noticed.
2-the sound keeps getting out of the speaker when the headphones are plugged in .
3-sometimes the fingerprint laggs or dont recognize.

In general i really love this rom ,its the best for the s6 at this time and i will keep this one,almost perfect ,so thank you fakemanoan and all who helped makin it possible and hope it will be perfect in the next builds . very nice work man!

if you want pixel launcher and all google goodies its simple ,just flash the NikGapps full edition ,it will replace all the lineage open source apps.

Testing for 3 days for now:

+ Bluetooth audio doesn't work on calls.
+ Notification bar animations are a bit laggy.
+ In some games like OSM animations are a bit laggy as well. Probably the same reason as the notification bar.
+ Instagram videos have bad quality. (This was fixed by enesuzun on LineageOs 18.1, maybe you can get help from him and his work.)
+ In-calls, sometimes I can't hear anything for a few seconds after that it's okay.
+ In-calls, sometimes the other person can't hear my voice and I have to reboot when that happens.
+ Even though it is 480p Netflix works surprisingly, good job.
+ Battery life is much better than the stock ROM, especially on standby.
+ Camera doesn't work only on Instagram. In other apps, it works perfectly fine.
+ In the camera app and other apps, it is difficult to focus on things and it doesn't recognize the objects automatically.
+ Notification light works weirdly.
+ Wifi performance can improve. It disconnects and reconnects sometimes.
+ Sometimes wifi and mobile data don't work at the same time. It says no internet on wifi and doesn't connect to mobile data. When I reboot it's fine.
+ Adding changing the screen resolution would be nice.

? Is there any way to change the screen resolution I couldn't find the way.

Overall a very well-built rom I can say. Just it can be a little smoother.

Thank you @fakemanoan for all your hard work. Patiently waiting for new updates.

I've been trying a couple hours and have the same issues as yours. Disabling the hw overlay in developer option seems reduced lagginess, idk. I also noticed that this build has "always on" fingerprint. Btw, you can use fde.ai apk to change your screen resolution

Both of these advices helped me. Thank you a lot.

[hossputer7]

Hi . can make this room for s6 edge plus zenlte ? Sorry
Thx

 

[Concept48]

heats a lot and horrendously lagging

thats a lie , I tested device on heating up , rendered a 10 minuted video with Kinemaster on the S6 Edge running Los 20 Port , Before rendering 23 Degrees Celcius . after rendering 35 degrees Celcius and thats not Overheating but that is a normal Temp at hard work , so IDK what You are doing with your phone and what you all installed but over heating is a hoax. I suggest your hands temp are heating up the phone , use it in a cover and dont spread mis information scaring users with nonsense

dude chill out I just said what happened on my device

 

[TomTran1408]

C'mon what do you guys expect from a phone from 2015. Heating issue is obvious. And it has always been an issue even in the stock rom, "thanks" to its thin and glassy build. Also they already stated that THIS ROM IS IN ALPHA STATE, so of course lagging/heating will occur occasionally. Go find another rom that reaches stable.
