[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][RAMDISK][11] LineageOS 18.1 for Galaxy S10e/S10/S10+/S10 5G Exynos

[Linux4]

This is fabulous, thanks @Linux4 !

One question: I see that the installation guide (both on this thread and on the official Lineage website) does not mention anymore flashing the vbmeta.img file together with the recovery, as in:

heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img --VBMETA vbmeta.img --no-reboot

Does that mean that it is not required anymore to flash it separately?

Yes it's no longer required.
If you only flash recovery you don't need the disabled vbmeta image, and the ROM zip already includes the one you'll need for the ROM to boot

Wonderful, thanks! This also applies if installing Magisk I guess?

Hi @Linux4

Thank you for your work.

Briefly, for beyond0lte there was a release on LOS Official https://download.lineageos.org/beyond0lte it seems to be pulled down as it;s not available anymore.

While it was available, I installed successfully. What would I need to do once the Official release is back up again? or will I just need to do a normal update via System > Updater, thanks

Red.

Updating via Updater will work.

Hi folks. It's me again, the one guy who kept complaining about random resets. I finally figured out how to prevent this from happening.

I primarily use wireless charging for charging the device and let the device "be" for hours on it. Most things I can access through my PC (e-mail, calls, whatsapp, etc). When it is on this charger the device used to randomly reset every now and then.

After installing ACC:

GitHub - Magisk-Modules-Repo/acc: Upstream repo:

Upstream repo: . Contribute to Magisk-Modules-Repo/acc development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

And setting a config using ACCA:

Advanced Charging Controller (ACCA) | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

AccA empowers users to have full control over the device charge cycle.

f-droid.org

To 5-85-90 (shutdown, start, stop) I no longer got resets.

It seems that the random resets have to do with the battery being near full and being on a wireless charger.

Is there anyone else who can test this?

For me this is an acceptable solution as I wanted to have ACC anyways to improve battery life.

You mean with "resets" that you have to make a complete reinstall?
Holy ****, I was wondering if I am the only one having these problems. As I care about 3 S10e for my family, and I had that problem already on all 3 devices (seeming) randomly this was not a problem especially on my device.

And I want to say again: I don't want to blame Linux4 because I love his work and I am very happy to have somebody caring about S10e! He just didn't believed me in first step and I was & am still not able to prove him (due to my lack of Android-knowledge).

Yesterday I had the problem again on one of the phones. And I am know pretty sure, it's somehow related to an empty battery. Meaning: When I start the phone, and the battery is already empty it will crash/shut off during boot. And then, I will never be able to boot again. So I have to start at the beginning and do a Factory Reset.

So my question: Do I understand, you have the same/simliar problem with a full battery? Because it's me, the guy how was complaining in Telegram Chat about randomly resets xD

I took my problem to the telegram chat and we figured out what the problem was, when the device was idle and charging there was a critical buck in my gapps that caused the google drive (presumably sync) to crash the device. With crash I mean a soft-reset, only need to unlock the phone.
This is very annoying as I was effectively unreachable at that time.
After some suggested fixes (which didn't work) we decided to do a clean reinstall, that fixed it.

Sorry, not the same problem as you have.

But then again, I don't think my phone's battery has ever went below 20%...

Sorry, noob here. May I know how to move a bit the wifi, signal bar, battery icons? Am using S10+, and those icons were covered by the cameras cut out. Thank you.

I have been using this ROM for 4 months and I got the s10+ too! And never had that issue on this ROM. Maybe you flashed Lineage OS from another developer? Join the telegram group, we can help you understand more! Best regards.

The question that remains is why the S10e disappeared from the downloads at the official LineageOS site. And, will it be back?

See

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-officia...note10-note10-5g-exynos.4311283/post-85404091

So yes it will be back and in fact the reason it got removed was nothing specific to our devices.

Thank you man.

 

[fishnetfancy]

Thank you so much, @Linux4!
I have three S10+ phones, all of which are running the unofficial Whatawurst ROM. I am replacing one of them now with a new one as it is faulty. Just realised that this model is SM-G976U, all the others are G975F/DS. It seems that the only difference between U and F models is the missing dual SIM functionality and added FM radio on the U.

Is this ROM compatible with the U variant?
Right now I am trying to unlock the bootloader but OEM unlock is not available. This is of course a separate issue but before I continue it would be good to know if this ROM can actually be supported on this phone.

Thanks!

G975U is snapdragon which also explains why you got no OEM unlock option
So no it's not supported, sorry

Thank you. OMG I bought this on eBay and the auction said SM-G975F/DS - but they sent a G975U

I suppose discussion on this ROM will move to the other thread, but I 'd just like to say that I very much appreciate that Linux4 also provides updates for those of us haven't had the time to move to the official variant.

I'll probably migrate in the future, but for the meantime this is great.
