I can't complain. Been daily driving this bad boy for a few days and I'm impressed.

One or two major updates to get some stuff working and these builds would be better than stock.

Did you follow my guide?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] starbright_:
You are right, now I understand the idea behind.

I found it strange to not be able to select fingerprint as a single option.

But once you have given a Pin and Fingerprint you can replace Pin by Fingerprint.

Strange saturated speaker sound

I was on RR and I wanted to move to this new build. I did it yesterday because my speaker sound went weird, completely saturated like being amplified a lot up to the saturation of the speaker, and very loud.

I wiped everything and flashed this last LOS build. Same problem.

I have searched for a solution, tried to tweak all what I could, but without success. Does anybody has an idea to help me? I don't really want to go back to stock just to test my speakers.

Thanks in advance

Loïc

PS: I haven't found anything interesting in the logcat, but I don't know what to search for.

Have you done a clean flash or a dirty one from RR?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] Bernique:
Clean flash, wiping system, data, internal and caches.

FYI, speakers work fine for phone calls. The problem is only for media, music, ringtones and notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] MartinYTCZ:
.

I guess just flash stock ROM, TWRP, and flash Lineage again. If the speaker works for phone calls, it is probably a sw issue. Which mmodel nm. you have? I am running it on SM-A320FL just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] Bernique:
Same as you, SM-A320FL. I hoped not to re-flash stock, but I will do. Thanks.

Edit: re-wiped everything, flashed stock, media sounds work. Re-re-wiped everything, flash LOS, everything works.

What I don't understand is that my problem happended before I moved from RR to LOS....

Magisk not rooting and SELinux not enforcing.

Hello McFy!

Yesterday I installed your ROM (august release) and I have an error saying where the app Trust says "SELinux is not enforcing". What to do?

And Magisk isn't working. I installed the last version 17.1 (even tried 17.2) and Trust says " Root access: Disabled". And Magisk is having ctsprofile error showing false. I have TWRP 3.2.3.0

And the option "Manage root accesses" is greyed out.

I've read in this topic that some people have Magisk working with this ROM but then on the other hand I was reading somewhere that LOS 15.1 doesn't support Magisk. It states that I have to use AddonSU.

Is there really no option to use Magisk? I'm very okay with Magisk.

And sometimes system crashes or says not responding
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] ales_hd:
Bootloop in pocket

First of all, thank you McFy for your work. This port is light years before Samsung garbage ROM.

But, I have a problem with the phone going into bootloop in my pocket. I just randomly take it out from my pocket and its stuck on boot animation. Did someone else encounter this? Everything else is OK, I installed 15.1-20180821 from TWRP without problem, installed stock OpenGAPPS and configured the system to my liking. I turned off the ambient display and automatic waking of all kinds, but it's still the same. Its happening roughly 1-2 times per day.

I don't know what to try next aside from reflash. Please help.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] paf22:
Hi all,

Using the lastest build for 10 days now, and I'm quite happy with it so far.

I will publish a full report when I have enough experience with it.

But to sum it up: Thank you McFly for this ROM. :good:

Magisk works fine, even if "trust" category in "settings" says differently and no matter the "ctsprofile" is showing "false" in MagiskManager.

Just try to install any app requiring root access, and you will see. ;)

No "bootloop in the pocket" for me.

A few crash of the interface and a few bootloops since the beginning, but nothing really bad.

I just really miss AlwaysOnDisplay function so far.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] ivlivs:

Can I somehow adjust volume for speaker (while phoning) and gain for the micro?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] jediafr:
My experience after a month

Still using the rom daily here's the bugs i've found so far :

- Documented : rebooting the phone is leaving the phone in a ustable state (have to shutdown/restart twice).

- The documented press speaker while the phone is ringing = reboot

- Sliding down while the phone is ringing = reboot (i just cut the ring by pressing volume key instead)

Various bugs affecting the running applications (must be a memory leak)

- happened with the builtin browser, calendar, but also pocket.

Those are difficult to reproduce but seem to occur after more or less a week of usage without reboot.

Not a bug but a missing feature : i cant have access to the setting of the voicemail (i have to call the number to know if i have any voicemail).
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] paf22:
Voicemail notifications are working for me without specific tweak.

Did you try to install a "visual voicemail application" from your mobile operator (Example, that one for "Orange")?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] jediafr:
Thanks for the advise, i'll try the app but i remember i had that functionality in stock (directly in the system settings if i'm not mistaken).
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] Arthod:
Works. Save much space but have some bugs

I installed this ROM. Works well. Good to know that you need GAPPS ARM (not ARM64).

There are some little bugs at my phone:

- Pokemon GO thinks that phone is rooted, but it is definitly not.

- automatic screen brightness does sometimes not work. You have to reanable ist again

- Ambient Display shows sometimes randomly, but there is no entry in settings. I use instead "Always On Edge - Edge Lighting"

- Phone crashes if you pick up an WhatsApp call and use speakers

- Rebooting is not working (Turn off and on again works). In case I press VolumeDown+Power to turn it off.

- I can't encrypt my phone cause this feauture needs to reboot my phone.

But, Rom use much more lesser space than stock. 5 GB in my case. So I can stay on may phone for a while.

Thank you. Small donation is sent.

I think I need help. My A320 died and I want to transfer image TWRP to a new(er) A320 one. Could install TWRP via ODIN, wiped data, system, ... and restored the image. It boots (Lineage boot sequence completed, but I get a black screen than). Pressing the "off" key I get the message, shutdown or reboot - but beside that is screen is all black. (Dalvic and Cache hase been wiped). What can be the reason for that?

I also tried to restore stock rom (flash AP of last 8.0 ROM), but Odin reports fails after few seconds. Once I even got a bootloop into a blue screen with request to use "smart switch" for emergency recovery. After installing Smart it reports, that device is not supported.

What might screwed up here?

No, I didn't. Can't remember I did it with the previous A320. But ... if I wipe data it boots normally. But I loose all the setup, apps that takes a lot of time. Don't want to do it all again, that take days. What might be the reason that this is not compatible from one device to the other (same type).

And - someone has an idea what might go wrong going back to stock? Odin just reports fail, without any further hints what to do.

There are at least two issues that could be better discussed in QA section.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] starbright_:
If reflash of Odin fails, it is a downgrade. Probably your ROM on device (mainly bootloader) is newer than your downloaded stock ROM. So just use newest.

But does anyone has an idea, while restoring a backup of this LOS15.1 from one A3 to another gives me a bootable, but unusable system but with black screen instead? If I wipe data, it works, but in fact - the data (with apps and settings) is what I want to restore !

It seems not to be encrypted, just locked with PIN and fingerprint.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] Guyllheaume:
Hi, I'm not sure for A3, but for my other phone the solution is to delete the "locksetting" files (2 or 3) from twrp to erase it and make the system accessible. Worth a try, at worst you'll have to reconfigure pin & fingerprint

Thanks McFy for this great rom.

I've been using it as a daily since August.

Recurring issue is a bootloop after making couple calls or if using the mobile heavily/multitasking. It needs two hard reboots to get it working again.

However today after one of the forced reboots my phone coughed up "custom binary blocked by FRP lock". And will not boot. I can still go into download mode, but cant get into custom recovery.

Do I need to reflash my phone and lose all the data on it?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] ruffyrisco:
Hi there!

Is there currently any workaround for the speaker issue?

Everytime I activate the external speaker during a phone call nobody can understand me anymore. Only reboot helps. Same with my bluetooth connection in my car.

Is this an issue of my installation or is this a common bug?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] Riegusto:
I have the same problem. Also when putting it on speaker phone trying to end the call will make the phone unresponsive. And as you say only a reboot resolves the unresponsiveness.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] tablord:
External

By external speaker you mean loudspeaker I suppose? I have these "loudspeaker issues" with other phones running LineageOS as well, so I guess it could be a general issue with LineageOS at the moment.

Moreover, this current build was rock solid and stable at the beginning but now more and more seemingly random apps keep crashing. Only wiping cache&dalvik cache in recovery can solve this for a while. Unfortunately, after a few hours or days it starts again...

Thanks for all your efforts and hard work [MENTION=7698739]McFy[/MENTION]

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] ruffyrisco:
Yes, of course. I mean the loudspeaker....

Thanks for the tip with wiping. I've never thought of it during normal operation. Only after new installing of a new rom...

I've made the same experience. Normal apps, working perfectly in the past, start to freeze and such things. :confused: Maybe new updates of the apps are responsible for this behaviour and are leaving some garbage during the update process!?

No major problems so far with the 20180821 build and latest Pico OpenGApps. Been running it for half a week now, unencrypted so far. Play services/store are disabled most of the time. Some apps wouldn't start right after installation, but weirdly enough a reboot fixed it each time it occurred.

Could provide logcat if required.

Phone also is decent and refreshingly small, only the screen and auto brightness could be better, and the fp sensor is overly picky.

Other than that, makes fun to use it with LOS 15.1, thank you very much for your time, donation sent!
