LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11, 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.
Base source code is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to the project, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.
I had a bit of inspiration and thought of developing for my old beloved Galaxy S5 Exynos which was sitting in the drawer collecting dust.
Now that we have a stable and official TWRP Recovery, next course of action was to build Lineage. Sadly, we were left on 14.1 and it never continued.
Hopefully I can build some stuff and update the device. Anyone can contribute to the project, all the help is welcome, we need it.

Kernel source code:
Build Compatibility:
The noted models are the only ones supported. If you have a model that isn't listed and ask politely then I might work to add compatibility.
SM-G900H ONLY!
Working:
- Audio
- HWC & Graphics
- Wi-Fi & Wi-Fi Hotspot
- Bluetooth, might be funky sometimes
- NFC
- GPS
- Camera
- Sensors/Rotation
- Fingerprint, pro tip: register the fingerprint in the same way you try to unlock the device with fingerprint. We have a first generation sensor so be considerate.

I took up this and merely fixed a already working tree and adapted it to modern day stuff.
Hope I can build more stuff!
