Hi, this is great news. Is the camera app the same? and slinux enforising?Congratulations on your work
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Borstelchen:
Hi @L1feGuard ,

thx for your reply.

No, SELinux is currently not in Enforcing mode.

But I could use some help to implement that. ;-)

Hi, @Borstelchen, while moving from stock rom I'm forgot that this is unsigned ROM and my device get caught into bootloop. Instructions from wiki isn't clear for me to be honest, the last time I did this script things was over 10 years ago ;). Could you help me with flashable ZIP that I should run before install? Many thanks

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Borstelchen:
Hi @pegasus_sis,

LineageOS ROMs and other Custom ROMs are usually not suitable for upgrading a Stock ROM!

This approach usually fails!

First, a Custom Recovery such as TWRP must be installed.

You can then use this to create complete backups of your device.

Then the System, Data and Cache partitions must be wiped!

And only then you can flash a Custom ROM like LineageOS with factory settings.

In order to be able to help you, however, I need to know which device you are using.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Borstelchen:
End of support for LineageOS 16.0 ...

It appears that there will be no backporting of Android 10 security (!) patches to LineageOS 16.0.

Therefore, I do not provide such LineageOS 16.0 builds any more.

As of now, I'll be providing new builds for both S6 devices in the LineageOS 17.1 branch.

Please follow me here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-g920-5-...-lineageos-17-1.4053959/page-24#post-86484441

In my case, an in-place upgrade always failed.

Unfortunately I couldn't solve the problems.

I had to do a factory clean install of LineageOS 17.1 and restore the data from the Google One backup.

However, there was still a lot to do...

Nonetheless, here are the standard upgrade steps.

Please be careful! Note step 1!

Maybe you are successful?

Upgrade instructions:

1. Make a backup of your device including all partitions using a Recovery system like TWRP!

2. Download the LineageOS 17.1 build:

For Galaxy S6 (zerofltexx):

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=332887

For Galaxy S6 Edge (zeroltexx):

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=332598

3. Download proper addon packages if needed:

Google Apps for ARM64 architecture:

https://opengapps.org/?api=10.0&variant=pico&arch=arm64

4. Boot into Recovery system.

5. Format your System partition!

6. Install the LineageOS 17.1 build, then install all your addons without rebooting!

Note:

If you have the Google Apps addon installed on your device, you must follow this step before booting into LineageOS 17.1 for the first time!

7. Wipe Cache and Dalvik!

8. When you’re done, reboot the device and enjoy the new LineageOS 17.1 system.

Here's my review about this rom. On another S6 (mine is S6 too, but running on One UI 1, pie not on this rom):

- Buttery smooth, 1,7gb ram free, check in HKtweaks with Discord, Facebook, Messenger installed

- No bloat

- Battery life was bad tho (THIS HIT ME HARD), on OneUI 1 rom's battery life was pretty good, this one just bad.

- Smoother than LinageOS 17 or 18 (I tried), both newer rom had bad battery life and laggy animation

- No overheat

- Scrolling a bit laggy sometimes

Thanks a lot for bringing this to S6!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Anya Forger:
hi i would like to use fyod rom 5.1 on my s6 g920i i miss that design but its kernel is terrible it gives me a lot of buff. Can I extract and flash the android 9 based cdroid kernel on top of the fyod rom? Or someone give me a link to a good compatible custom kernel, it's sad to give up the one ui and the samsung apps but that kernel gives me above all a terrible fault, having my battery at 50% or less, it doesn't charge until I restart the phone .
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mrafm:
Hey man did you find any fix for that issue? I like floyd as well and the kernel doesn't let me use it
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] erdemu:
It is clear for you but I'm sure on your side only.

Pls. ask people talking to you if they hear themselves..

Problem is on other side, not on your side on ECHO problem.

I had 3 crashes and 1 freeze at this weekend.

Also in an incoming call touch screen got unresponsive suddenly.

I couldn't accept, reject or even restart the phone..

Things are getting worse on my side.

I'm just waiting to see the update of this work if somethings could be solved before switching to stock rom.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] tillward:
Did you update to the latest modem before flashing. Calls are clear on both sides for me. Battery usage is incredible. 20% drop over 4 hours. Used the camera, maps etc. System is a little laggy and only had 3 random restarts in 3 days. Running Magisk. Passes safety net so google pay should be fine. Great rom.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] 123hebrert:
Do I have to wipe my current lineageos (14.1) to install this, or can I install it like an update without having to reinstall all my apps and settings ?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] HylianHero:
Speaking about this, i just flashed the rom (from scratch) and magisk doesn't pass safetynet (the ctsProfile part). Why is this happening, though you don't have any problem?

The only explaination i can think is that selinux is set to permissive, but i think this is the same for you...
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] hostek:
Last build can't boot
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] erdemu:
Anybody knows what has changed with the 20190107 update?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ADB100:
You don't need magisk to pass safetynet... Just remove root and change the fingerprint line in build.prop to be the same as stock 7.0

ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/zerofltexx/zeroflte:7.0/NRD90M/G920FXXS5EQL1:user/release-keys
or
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/zeroltexx/zerolte:7.0/NRD90M/G925FXXS5EQL1:user/release-keys

This fix has been added to official Lineage 14.1 for zerofltexx and I have been using it for ages with official 14.1 and unofficial 15.1...

Andy
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] erdemu:
Exactly. Just tried it..

It doesn't boot into the system and turns back to the recovery after installation.

It's not tested before the release I think..

Strange, things are getting worse instead of getting better..
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Al Val:
I haven't upgraded to this yet, I am on lineageos 14.1 on galaxy s6 SM-G920F.

I thought it's worth saying that I have the exact same echo issue where I can't hear it, but everyone I speak with tells me they can hear an echo and hear themselves echoing back. I mention it as it may help deduce whether its a problem specific to the new unofficial pie rom, or not (let's not jump to assumptions that every problem you have is specifically due to the new rom, it's easy to fall into that trap)

This makes me think that it's either a common hardware fault that's nothing to do with the roms,

I need to understand the concept of modems in relation to phone roms a lot better.

1) Are they built into the rom?

2) Are they part of the bootloader? (in my case twrp)?

3) Are they updated somehow separately from twrp and the rom?

4) How can I figure out what modem I should be using (my network is United Kingdom H3G), check what my phone is currently using and update if necessary?

5) Do I somehow try and extract a modem.bin file from the latest official Samsung rom for my network and flash it individually?

6) Would it be a problem that this modem would have been packaged with a nougat rom and I'd be trying to use it with a lineageos pie rom?

I will update to this rom as soon as the hotspot is working, as I need to use that daily.

Thanks in advance for any help with any of the 6 questions I have above!, and thank you so much to the developers for continuing to support the galaxy s6
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ts_firehawk:
1 - Depends. Its not part of any AOSP ROM because modem lies at hardware level, but stock Odin firmwares contains the modem.bin (IIRC), which is the modem's firmware. But they're completely separeted from the system (Android, in this case) code.

2 - I'm not 100% sure about this, but as far as I can tell, modem is one thing and bootloader is another, and I believe that they're physically apart. And also TWRP is not a bootloader, it is a recovery =)

3 - Yes, they are. But usually the upgrade happens at the same time, since everytime you flash a stock ROM using Odin, it'll flash everything (ROM, bootloader, recovery, modem).

4 - The latest available. Check sammobile.com or imei.info to find out which is the latest stock Samsung ROM available for your device. These files contains the modem in them.

5 - Take a look here: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/help-i9305/how-to-flash-file-odin-t2131569, it might help

6 - Not exactly. The problem is that modem (and pretty much everything else) is closed-source, which is a problem when something doesn't work and you don't know why - you have no way to look at both codes and fix the problem(s) between them.

I hope this helps. I'm not an Android expert or anything, but a few years of bricking devices teaches you something. :D
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] tillward:
I installed and ran the MgiskHideProps Config module to solve it.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Al Val:
EDIT - the below issue fixed by using opengapps 9 arm64 NANO instead of STOCK , no idea why it needs to be nano version

can also confirm that the updated jan version posted also boots fine as long as the nano gapps version is used, although the jan version has some weird issue where there is no virtual keyboard, only google voice keyboard, which you can't use for wifi passwords , so you get stuck quickly!

I Install latest official uk h3g samsung single-file rom from sammobile using odin, checking to ensure it includes all files including modem etc.

flash twrp using odin

using twrp install the original december version of this lineage16 rom since some on the thread say the latest update to is a) doesnt work and b) doesnt include anything new anyway, and also open gapps for android 9 arm64 installed during the same twrp session.

the lineageos animation goes across the screen for a few minutes, then screen goes dim with animation still there for a second, then reboots to twrp. and any subsequent reboots just go to twrp. advice? thanks
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] SIMMORSAL:
I came from NexusOS 9 to this rom, mistakenly without wiping data, and everything works fine. Just one problem, in the NexusOS I had activated the navigation bar (or maybe it was activated by default, cant remember) and the hardware buttons (back and recent) wouldn't work, but in this rom they do and that and the fact that hotspot not working are my only problems with this rom.

So my questions, 1, is there a way to disable hardware buttons? 2, is there any hotfixes available for hotspot? Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] tillward:
Settings / System / Buttons.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] SIMMORSAL:
I've tried that but cant see any options to disable them. Could you be more specific?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] tillward:
Go to settings. Type in 'navigation' to the search. Click on 'Enable on-screen nav bar' .
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] SIMMORSAL:
Thanks again for the reply. I entered the Settings, and searched for "navigation", and "Enable on-screen nav bar" shows up, but when I click on it, it just takes me to the "Buttons" activity and still I don't find anything of relevance. This could be a bug and I may need to wipe my data for it to work properly, but before I do that, could you take a screenshot of the option in the "Buttons" so I could make sure the problem is not with my eyes!? Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] tillward:
My apologies. You're entirely correct. I saw the option, so assumed it worked as it does on for example the Nexus ROM. Trying mine, I have the exact same issue as you.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] SIMMORSAL:
That's very unfortunate then. For now I have set the layout of the navigation bar to be "right leaning" so I won't accidentally hit the recent button when I hit back, but I hope we see a fix for it soon. Thanks for your time anyway :)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] tillward:
Have you tried installing a gesture control app, like the XDA one for instance? Doesn't it allow you to hide the software keys?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] SIMMORSAL:
That was an awesome idea. I used "Buttons remapper" from playstore and disabled them. Problem solved :good: . thanks for the help.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] avidichard:
Random reboots

After a call in GS Wave, when recieving a notification from facebook or at any moment the system judges necessary, Phone reboots without warning. Again, really annoyed of the fact I see no notification dots on my apps to tell me there's something new or someone that contacted me. Phone is a 920W8 model.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] tillward:
This is bleeding edge stuff. You can expect the unexpected. If you want a stable daily driver, you need the latest official release, or a very stable rom. Pie is pretty new on these devices, we're all testing and helping improve hopefully, in order to make it worthwhile to develop in to a stable rom for our dear old phones eventually. Or something else.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] avidichard:
At least, it's the best I've found for now with the least bloatware and custom apps on it. But I'm looking forward in seeing this ROM in a more stable state, that would be SOOO neat :)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Lunarixus:
Really fast and stable, great work Enes!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] bushladen:
Hi,

First of all, i wanna thank the dev for this rom.

After, i have a question or un bug to submit:

Each time i try to send or to receive an MMS... The data drops. On the upper right corner I have the LTE displayed but with a little cross wich means "no data"Tried to deal with th apn but no, still loosing data...

I tried to flash the modem.tar but i completly loose the sim card detection (as if don't have one). I'have to disable/enable many times the data to make the mms go or to receive some.

I tried to make a log but i'm not sure that it's a good one . Thanks.

So, no update for the echo problem yet?

Edit: Unfortunately no change on this most serious problem.

People I talked to since yesterday told me that they still hear their voices echoed on their phones.

Kindly request you to give this problem a priority as it affects daily life too much.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] bushladen:

Unfortunatly, the data still drops when trying to send MMS... :(

I forgot to tell you the model of my phone. It's a SM-G920W8...

New rom is smooth. The app switcher / recents is back to Oreo style. Horizontal swipe-away. Didn't see that coming.

Great ROM! (I am on the latest release)

The only issue I found is that during a call, when I usually have the phone at my ear, the screen switches off but buttons seem to be active. Then everytime the ear touches the screen a number is input or something like that?

Someone experiencing the same? How can this be fixed?

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] tillward:
Phone calls aren't working at all for me. They cut off after between 0 and 30 seconds. NFC is much worse in the latest version for me. I've been kicked off two buses today. Got it working eventually on the third bus after a restart.

Which launcher are you using. Can you confirm the recently is Pie style for you please.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Al Val:
In the interest of helping diagnose the echo problem, I wanted to make sure first of all it wasn't hardware or the modem file

I have 2x galaxy s6 phones. both never had the echo on stock firmware. I moved one onto lineageos official 14.1, and soon after putting lineageos 14.1 I had people telling me they were hearing themselves echoing back , although I can't hear it from my side using the galaxy s6.

I presumed it was related to the otterbox defender case, or a hardware issue with the phone, or a problem relating to the modem file version.

Now I put this lineageos16 unofficial build from this thread onto both my stock s6 and the one which was already running lineageos14.1. My method was to fully flash the very latest official firmware from my network provider first to both phones, to make sure there was no doubt about the modem file, then apply twrp and then this firmware.

They now both have this exact echo problem, which leads me to believe it's not the modem file or hardware, that it must be the rom. if I find a spare few hours, I may flash them back to stock to help prove that, but the above is pretty conclusive for me

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

To answer this question , if I set my preferred network to 2g, it cannot get any mobile signal at all on UK h3g, have driven around to make sure its not just a bad coverage area. Don't know if that's a ROM issue or not, can anyone else test?

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

Is there a changelog? I see the posts mentioning 2 things specifically, but it would be nice to know if there's an exact changelog - regardless, I'm delighted to see hotspot fixed

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

There are some unusual things about the lock screen , I am using pattern lock , and also have fingerprint registered. I have the advanced 'power button instantly locks' option turned on. When you wake up the phone to use it, i can see the pattern dots waiting, and a clock in the background, but trying to touch the screen and draw the pattern does nothing, if I press power, the background clock goes away, and now i can use pattern or fingerprint.

Can I try a different countries modem?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] erdemu:
Agree with you.

Especially AlwaysOn Display at night time is very bright.

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

No call drops on my side.(SM-G920F), just the famous ECHO problem still continues.

Also there's really a great improvement about crashes. No single crash since the last version..

Just the soft keys lost their functionality during a call and only the home button was working but this has happened only once.

It's really a "near-perfect" and very fast, functional ROM.

I hope we can see the days that it will be perfect soon :fingers-crossed:

Regarding changing modem file, I don't think there will be a harm for trying it.

At least you can go back by re-flashing your original modem file via Odin.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] alquadaur1:
What about camera?

HDR support?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] achkap:
So it's strange. On my g920f I don't have drop calls so far, I don't have echo problems but proximity sensor doesn't work as it should so I keep pressing mute hold etc button during a call. On Nexus I had dropped calls. I was on latest nougat build for Greece and I haven't changed my modem since. The only thing I changed is that I am using Google dialer and not Android. Have you tried any other dialer?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] tillward:
I don't have any issues with echoes at all. Calls are clear and crisp, until they cut off. It's probably all the different modem files. I used the latest version I could find, which was XTU region I think.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ADB100:
I think the echos are heard by the other person..... If you turn the volume down during a call it seems to make it better.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] erdemu:
Camera is an headache in these custom roms generally and this rom is not an exception.

You should expect that it won't be like in the old stock rom especially in terms of HDR, Portrait Mode and Focus Speed.

There are some apps you can try like GCam or Snap to find the best to your taste..

I also have a Samsung Gear 360 Cam and I couldn't get it working yet as well.

Still keep trying..

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

Yeah, exactly, it's not on your side but on counterpartie's phone.
