Re automatic Backlight values

Good,

after this excellent news from lineageOS 16, my post went unnoticed.

It is not a bug but an improvement.

The automatic backlight does not suit me.

Looking at the code and comparing it with other devices we see that the values ​​are not good.

I propose values ​​that I tested and that are correct.

If a developer wanted to spend a few minutes, it would be great.

Thank you all

You use the wrong way to purpose your change, a pull request on github as well as a post on XDA are not the way how LineageOS team work, you have to submit your patch through gerrit : https://review.lineageos.org/q/status:open
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] f5bud:
Hello McFy,

I published on github and gerrit August 20, I do not master these tools, maybe what I did is not correct.

That's why I insisted on xda to get developers' attention.

You can not anymore downgrade from oreo to nougat if your security patch is after july 2018.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] moozer:
Yup! I suspected this...your locked in to Oreo now.

That is the right way. No idea why you would want to go back to Nougat anyway. More options and better options in Oreo and even more stable in Pie so far

Currently I don't have TWRP because I've flashed the whole oreo OFW, but it takes nothing to put it on so if it can help me I'll try it! What is the the stuff that you linked to me? And how do I flash it with TWRP?

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] moozer:
The problem is that the original 15.1 link is in here somewhere and discussion off that overrode 14.1 discussion. It got messy but 15.1 didn't get it's own thread. 16.1 has though.

The Devs will push for official when all bugs are stabilised

In my experience, both ROMs can be used for daily use, but you need to work that out for yourself and check that what you need us working as you need it to.

For me...I like stability AND eye candy AND performance. That is why I left LOS and went with it's more glamorous offspring (currently this is Pixel Experience for me - this is still in development, but will become the best)

You will find your favourite flavour once you try different ROMs over a good few days - gives the ROM a chance to settle into your usage patterns and you a chance to assess properly. Give each ROM at least 3 days.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] rty678:
I'll do that! Thank you for all the suggestions :)

This is a community where CUSTOM roms are shared. They have much work behind, but you install them KNOWING that they are unstable, and they'll have bugs, because this people is not being paid to make them perfect.

Hello.

I recently installed Lineage 14.1 (17.11.2018 build) on my A5 (2017). Everything works fine, except that my SIM doesn't get detected, even after reboot or another re-flash. What I noticed is that it says that the SIM-slot is at the top left of my phone, but thats the SD-card-slot, I cant fit a SIM in there...

What I now want to do is go back to stock-ROM to check if that detects my SIM, but I don't know my CSC-code, as I can't get it without my SIM. Can I just flash the "non-branded" version of my country or will that brick my A5?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] Paul2017:
From what I know, you cannot simply "downgrade" the A5 (2017) from the oreo stock rom to lineageos 14.1. This is likely why your "sim card doesn't get detected", meaning the modem is not working. However, the solutions are here, read this thread carefully.

- Some people reported that the downgrade is possible when flashing certain bootloader & modem versions

- There are 15.1 and 16 builds available

Hi, everyone. ughh...this post might get lost in the discussion...

Anyway here's the news:

Looks like the last official 14.1 build will be final. There will be no new builds, updates or support for LineageOS 14.1 version.

The latest builds are

20190127

for a7 and

20190217

for a5. I reuploaded them here one last time because lineage isn't willing to keep hosting old builds on their server, just in case someone still needs them in the future.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=290939

PS: You'll need old Nougat bootloader and modem as a base
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] moozer:
Thanks for this, brother.

So...in all honestly is development coming to a close on these devices (A520/A720)? Or do we have more to come do you think?

I think we just need to known our options.

I've now found a new favourite ROM other than RR and would be Happy to keep running with these until I renew my contract in November when I'll be getting a new device
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] Option58:
I'm not saying anything just for a5 or a7....lineage 14.1 support is dropped for every device out there. :)

That question is not something we know for certain. New developers or roms can always appear, of course. For me personally, I like my A7 and feel it's still suitable for my daily driver, don't see any reason to upgrade yet.

Thanks for confirming. I wasn't sure if it was just 14.1 to be ditched.

Looks like 15.1 has been forgotten and 16.1 is now the aim to get official?

Do you think that will happen? Has RaymanFX moved on?

Yeah well 16.0 was a successor to 15.1 in a way. When you have 15.1 already working making 16.0 isn't very hard.

I can't say anything about him for certain really, only he can speak of himself. But we are now lacking developers and my free time to get 16.0 official. That 16.0 unofficial thread is the best I could, for now.

Thank you for setting our minds at rest. You've done an amazing job, brother and will continue to do so. You're contributions are huge in terms if driving the development forward on this device.

I doubt we would have so many flavours of custom ROMs had it not been for your commitment.

Thank you for taking the time to talk to us all about the current state of works.

just a question in regards to the official version 14.1 which is 20190217, security patches 01/2019. will there be an update, especially for the latest security cvs? thank you.

No more updates for 14.1 now (all devices)

Move to 16 after you've updated bootloader and modem (guides on XDA for this)
