Hi. Where can I find CSB8 fw? The main post has a link of CSB8 vendor image. Do I need to just flash that and then the rom and gapps? Because that's what one guy said in the video that's linked above. And you said we need to be on CSB8 vendor as well as fw before flashing the rom. I'm confused.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] nic0n:
wipe data,dalvik,cache

flash vendor

flash rom

flash gapps

enjoy!

Is there any bug tracker or something else to keep track of development *especially HWAccel? :)

The link in the TS links to profile instead of repo.

Thanks!

Anyone can confirm if encryption works? I have 15.1 and encryption doesn't work. Will upgrade if 16.0 has working encryption.

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] aligabratition:
notification sounds and touch sounds and charging sounds and ringtone all work for a few minutes after boot then they just stop working. A reboot fixes that but only for a few minutes.

help?

Edit: all the sounds stated above now work but media sounds don't

It is a pleasure to discover that I am still banned from the channel of this ROM, for asking a question about LineageOS and the abnormal use of RAM. Moreover with even more pleasure I see everything stopped and hwc fix, signal bar and all the other wonders remained in the world of fantasy. After this experience I realized that the only real valid custom ROM for S9 is the stock ROM. Just a pinch of Magisk. You don't need such a brilliant mind to fail in everything.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] a_swed:
it's off topic, but keep calm. yeah, Samsung sources are **** and there is nothing developers can do about it, so we're left with whatever **** was possible to achieve by the practicable amount of afforts. if it was simple to operate on available sources, [MENTION=4610599]Ivan_Meler[/MENTION] would already solve the issues. constant screaming at a stone doesn't make it move, just change the road, if you know what I mean :)

Also I see that people are expecting some miracle, just waiting for something to be done, but look at older S8 device, it's also dead-ish.

Just saying.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] slarti76:
Treble

Just out of curiosity (and not complaining that nothing is happening): Does this kinda proof Project Treble failed? When the S9 came out, LOS was there after a few weeks, and I remember posts along the lines of "thanx to Treble, wouldn't have been possible with S8". Now it seems like Pie is less likely than ever to come to the S9, despite all Treble. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine to stay on Oreo as long as security patches are applied. But it would be a shame if we got our hopes up for nothing much...
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] LavaSnake54:
I think so. You can go ahead and try a GSI (phh treble for example) but instead of exploring the features in the GSI, explore the bugs instead, just WAY too many. So unfortunately because treble doesn't work well with the s9 we need specific trees, and that of course takes time.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Giocarro:
It would "take time" if someone would be looking into it, but it looks like it is not the case so it will "take forever".

I mean, come on: Android Q is almost in beta and will be released in 3-4 months; it would be better to just skip Pie and go straight to Q.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] namezz:
Hello i have a small question.

I tried installing this rom. All went fine. I first installed the csb8 vendor then lineage gapps and magisk in this order. Everything checked and phone rebooted. After the boot i get a constant pixel setup keeps closing. I tried searching online but cant find anything about it. What did i do wrong anyone knows?

*************************************

Edit: i found the problem. Apparently i had the wrong gapps
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] D4ND310:
Just a reminder here(and not specifically directed to anyone) that Android is actually Open Source software! Yay!

Time might be better spent learning to build, rather than complaining about those who have already spent the time and learned, and who, most probably, also have a life outside of XDA and as such, cannot dedicate the entirety of their time to every mere Thumbling-User's demand in a message forum.

?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Giocarro:
Agreed, and I'd also add that money might be better spent on OnePlus and Pixel devices if ones enjoy modding.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] phamtieugiao:
Considering official Lineage Pie not released, I'm really pessimistic about the future of Lineage for S9. Probably there won't be Lineage Q at all..
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Giocarro:
Actually I just put my S9 on sale for the lack of modding activity.

One UI is not that bad but I prefer stock Android and when I purchased this device I thought that being quite widespread it would have been followed by developers.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] LavaSnake54:
Good decision
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Edoardo001:
But that's a fantastic phone. I suggest you to wait some time. Maybe some dev will appear magically. I hope to have some free time this summer to take a look even my developing skills are not enough
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] EagleSoldier:
Dont think so....

Most Devs swithed to S10/+ or other brand.

AOSP for S9/+ is nearly dead.

Enjoy the custom stock rom like soldiers, light, etc

Treble is still relatively new, saying that it has failed is definitely jumping the gun, it's not perfect yet and probably will never be for this device, but it's far from a failure

Oh well who knows what might samsung do with android Q. Maybe they will completely destroy our dreams!

Will a BOUNTY help?

I'm certain that the devs who contribute time/effort of any kind here are pretty fed-up with the whining & insults here, as in any such thread.

Since clearly there's a lot of that here -- I'm "sure" there's no issue putting your 'money where your mouth is'.

[MENTION=6185853]Rainbow_Dash[/MENTION] , & other devs -- Would it help or be of interest to you, to establish a bounty for taking this port to 'official' status @ Lineage project?

For example, similar in form/structure to"

There are no devs for the s9/+

Allmost all devs who cared about s9/+ switched the model or brand.

Dont think they will "loose" there time for some money to rework aosp on S9/+

They are focusing now in there new devices.

Dont expact something in this way.

Weve got still custom stock roms.

Best regards
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Rainbow_Dash:
That is false

Altho to be fair, we’ve got better things to do in our lives.

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Rainbow_Dash:
Nah
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] EagleSoldier:
Yea I know, we all have a private live too.

I respect all devs, for there work.

Ive donated to couple devs for there hard work.

But it doesnt seam there is a progress in this way (stable pie tree).

I dont think the progress will be speeded, when some guys donate something (feel free to donate, I will too ;) ...but not to speedup the proces, only to support the devs).

And yes Alex, ure right....its only a dammit phone xD
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Rainbow_Dash:
Well the s7 just got its hwc fixed and we thunk it can be applied to the s9 in a similar way. This is not the thing that broke camera, we've abandoned that as it was hacky anyway and this is much better.

This is not hard per se, it just needs some time for its a major change.

There's that, and the fact that i'm barely passing classes at school which meh
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] LavaSnake54:
Thanks Alex. You got my hopes a little up
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Edoardo001:
You said that you abbandoned the thunk used for the s7 because it's too hacky. and you said "this much better", but what is much better?

Take your time, my question was only for programming interest. :D

I had no luck with any Gsi rom so far ,

would you mind to share what Fw and Vendor

your on , and what Phh build you flashed .
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mrmodzix:
So LineageOS OS for the S9 is basically dead. GSI's are our only choice for an up to date stock Android experience then?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] :
Yup
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Giocarro:
This is the second time I make the mistake of purchasing a Samsung (the first was an S6) and both times development pretty much stopped after less than an year.

My bad, I know.

I read someone wiser than me saying that modding lovers today have to purchase devices from just three brands: Google, OnePlus and Xiaomi.

That's all, folks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] EagleSoldier:
Yep thats true.

Switched from s9+ to pixel 3
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] :
I feel your pain
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Appacatlsx:
I only had problems with Lineage OS16 on my Samsung S9, after installing it with many bugs the system seems to work fine. After I had loaded all my things back on the phone, the first problem was not far away. I could not play music on my phone, even with MP3 players from the Playstore. The only way to hear music was through Spotify or Deezer. An hour later, I noticed that I can not even watch videos on YouTube added by GAPPS (Stock). To make sure the bug was made by Lineage I tried to load some videos on my browser, Google Chrome, Samsung Browser and Opera just barely worked for me so far, the only way I could watch a movie was, to download it and watch it via VLC player, because even the Google Photos app and the gallery constantly crashed. Not even Netflix worked, the series was loaded all the time, but not started, not even the downloaded one. The longer the day, the more beetles I noticed. Also, when the Google Pixel Launcher stopped working while I used it as the default launcher, I could not use my phone the way I should. I can not open apps because my phone always wanted to launch the Pixel Launcher, which does not work. The only way to use WhatsApp was to get a message. Not even a restart helped, after a few hours I could switch it to the other launcher (do not ask me how). Every time I listen to music on Spotify and get a call, the music stops, and after the call, I can not hear any music until I call someone. In addition, the battery is as good as empty. Previously, I only had to charge my phone every 2 days or at most every night. After 10 hours with very low consumption (1-2 hours display time with battery saving) I have 20% left, at 18:00.

I just heard good things about Lineage OS and I was not sure if I should download it. The idea is great, but the unofficial version is not usable.

Thank you for your attention.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] :
How hard build own version with security patches after support ends? Don't care about new features, not much new anyways.

Took gamble on device having about 2-3 major updates and lost. :crying:

Cause HWC you get heavy battery drain.

But nvm thank you for your work, and I hope some guys will enjoy your roms.

Hi! Not having Telegram either, I'm hoping someone can comment for geronimoge and others here about the beta LOS16 based on S9 vendor recently announced :) in an interim Unofficial LOS15 thread

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9/sam...opment/rom-t3927314/post79782994#post79782994

especially about what's not working yet.

On behalf of a dismayed S9 purchaser on reddit, I'd also be interested to hear if the beaut volunteers here stepping up to maintain builds might mean there's potentially a squad to boost the developers' good work by helping maintain the prospective LOS16 in due course on the official build-servers.

Many thanks

I've been running the LOS 16 build for over 2 days now. HWC fixed. It's a really good ROM without any issues whatsoever. Daily driver for sure. Now just waiting on the rest of the ROMs to pop up.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Dominic.B:
Shiny! How's the performance?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] bdwilk:

Tried that ROM as well. Nice and performant!

I am currently missing the mail client with exchange services, but I migrated that from Rainbow_Dash's LOS16.

Will probably switch to it as daily driver next weekend...
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Cecillatour:
I also tried it for a couple of hours yesterday. Battery life and performance is great. However, there are still some issues: SElinux is permissive, Netflix is not working, SD card is not recognised a couple of minutes after booting. All these issues were fixed in Rainbow Dash's PE ROM from February. I hope they get fixed soon for this new LOS. Otherwise, it is a major breakthrough as HWC is now working. Details will be polished eventually.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] stefanbajer:
My SD card works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Andrw0830:
I posted on the Telegram group. The SD Card appears not to be mounted until you enter your screen lock, then you see the persistent notification about the SD Card. If you type in 'sm set-force-adoptable true' in terminal or adb, you will then get the checking sd card followed by the option to setup your sd card as either Portable or internal storage. Be aware if you click internal your SD Card will be wiped so make a backup. If you choose Portable, I no longer get the persistent notification that I have to clear of the status bar. You will still get the Checking SD Card message which somehow is tied to the SD Card not mounting immediately when the phone boots and only does after unlocking the phone.

Here is more info about this bug that the kite device also has the issue to hopefully help answer what could cause this issue: https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/issues/496

I agree that this ROM is awesome and glad HWC is finally fixed. The only main issue for me is Google Voice Match is greyed out which a few months ago was fixed on other AOSP ROMs so the Google Libs are probably not added to this version.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] bdwilk:
What? Sdcard is fine. I don't know what you've done. Also Netflix is working fine as well. Seems you need to fix something on your end. My screenshot is unmodded playstore Netflix too.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Andrw0830:
Haven't done anything every AOSP with the S9 I've flashed when you boot it up, you will see a SD Card icon on the status bar and it says 'Samsung SD Card' Explore and Eject options are shown below that. I've tried formatting as either exFAT or Fat32 and even tried formatting in TWRP since I've had my S9 and with only AOSP do I get this prompt. Enabling Adoptable Storage is the only thing I've noticed that fixes that persistent prompt. Maybe it's certain SD Cards with certain sizes that does it, but this is what mine does and been flashing ROMs and built some ROMs since S2 so know a bit when it comes to AOSP. Even as a last test, put my SD Card in my S7 which doesn't have this issue so it's related to something within the S9 at least for me. I am also on the CSF2 vendor and boot loader so I am up-to-date on my G960F.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] bdwilk:
That is weird. I get the notification after a reboot but it just swipes away and there's no issues with using the card. I'm just using SanDisk 32gb card. Nothing special.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Cecillatour:
I have noticed that SD card issue comes up only if I try to enable SElinux enforcing via MTweaks app. If I leave SElinux permissive the SD card is mounting properly.

I guess SElinux permissive keeps a lot of things together in this new ROM - which is often done by devs with new ROMs. The moment you switch to enforcing, problems start.

I am glad that you told us that Netflix works on your side. It gives me hope that it may eventually work on my device too.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] geronimoge:
Is there any chance that you can convince the developer starting a thread here at XDA?

I'm pretty sure that it would be much appreciated.

And it could be an advantage for him as well, e.g. having a traceable conversation.

*Fingers crossed*
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Akhayev:
I tried this rom on my s9+ it was very laggy it made me feel like I'm using a phone from 2010
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Dominic.B:
May be they'll do that after checking feedback from the first test build. So far, it seems pretty stable to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] geronimoge:
Good to hear. Maybe like they said so or just your personal estimation?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] bdwilk:
Haha. Well you did something wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Akhayev:
Nothing wrong I think , but the rom is not smooth at all , everything works well but the rom is laggy

I WIPED system/data/cache the flashed the vendor then flashed the rom then boot into system then reboot to recovery again flash gappe/kernel/magisk
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Dominic.B:
Personal

---------- Post added at 04:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 AM ----------

I did same. Except I flashed everything in one go. Works very fine for me. But before that, I'd also wiped internal storage, following which I copied the files in the phone and then began flashing in recovery. Vendor, los16, gapps, kernel, magisk. Added all zips one behind other and flashed at one go. Success.

Rom is super smooth and very fluid. No problem whatsoever at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] bdwilk:
Are you talking about the ROM from this thread or the one we're using from telegram? We've just hijacked this thread. The one from here doesn't have HWC fix.

If you're saying you flashed the telegram build and still have lags then there is 100% something wrong on your end. I've been using this for days and had not one lag.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Akhayev:
Okay after flashing the ROM your way it looks like it is working better and smoother , but is there a way to make pixel launcher work ? I tried with quickswitch but didn't work
