Thanks, that's pretty up-to-date! Did you have the chance to test it?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] rupert3k:
Evening lads,

just returned from the testing trenches, after noting not one but two new builds I backed up 0717 & grabbed 0926, 1027 & latest Gapps.

First i tried (wipe) Vendor, 1027, aroma gapps & magisk and then the same with 0926 but nothing worked so i cut back to just (wipe) Vendor & 0926 / 1027 with Micro gapps.

Neither seemed to work (regardless which gapps used) and after hours fiddling I would like to thank whoever made 0926 & xawex465 for their efforts.

Perhaps Q source will emerge next month but until then 0717 seems most stable exynos los16 (for this nub at least)

Cheering for Synt4x.93, amen!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Artmort:
Same here.

Only 0717 works with accompanying vendor.

All the others : infinite bootloop.

PS: any chance of finding the adequate vendor img for CarpeNoctem's 1028 star2lte?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] oky82:
Version 1027 works at my phone but I did a dirty flash. Everything is working so far. Thanks to the developers!

Still there is a bug in the ROM when using bluetooth. All calls have no audio over bluetooth. The channel is opened but input and output are done by the phone, not the bluetooth device. So no handsfree calls can be made. Music is not affected.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] crhylove:
Just got a new headset and have the exact same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] crhylove:
I've been using the seven-one-seven build for a long time as my daily driver. I just dirty flashed 11 09 build from xawaX. I just backed up the old ROM, installed the new ROM wipe cache and Dalvik and Rebooted. I haven't noticed any issues at all so far.

I'll do more testing and post an update in a couple of days.

Quick Update on 1109 Xawax Build:

Just upgraded to 1109 last night. Xawax. Working great. Still no Google Pay (Pay won't work on this device because it's been modified, even though I use Magisck Hide), and also BT audio for my headset doesn't work on phone calls. Just goes right to regular phone audio mode on the actual device as if my BT headset isn't there. Everything else is working great! <3
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Artmort:
Bluetooth works fine on my S9+ Xawex465's 10 28 (dirty flash over 07 17). Don't have a Bluetooth headset, but Bluetooth over phone calls works fine for me.

Thanks to Xawex465.

Guess I'll test 11 10 now :) (released 2 days ago)

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Mikey94:
1110 dirty flash over 0717 didn't work for me. = bootloop....
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Artmort:
Dirty flash of 1110 over 1028 (itself a dirty flash over 0717) is working for me at the moment. No issues so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] rupert3k:
1109 working via dirty flash, YAY
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Mikey94:
can you guys tell me, how you did it? Step for step? Which vendor, which firmware, which zip, how did you wipe?

Pleeeeease xD

And can you tell me, how you get the camera working? (freezes when using flash)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] crhylove:
The Vendor on the Xawax site also: It's CFS2 I think?

Hunt around on here, the steps were there, I followed them, and the 717 build is very solid. After a couple days of heavy use, 1109 seems great too, although maybe slightly less battery life? Could just be that I'm using the hell out of my phone though.... It's been a crazy couple of days.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] oky82:
Yesterday I flashed 1109 (dirty) and updated the firmware to CSJ3 (is that the vendor image?). Everything is running fine, bluetooth works as expected. Battery life is good.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] dreas74:
i can confirm a functional dirty flash with 0911 over 1707 and CSJ3 vendor.

update: everything works as expected include the bluetooth.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] crhylove:
Any advantages to flashing CSJ3?

Still can't get Google Pay to work. Tried the Magisck gpay sqlitefix. Still no dice.

And my old Bluetooth headset works for music AND calls, and my new one only works for music, NOT calls. Any idea why that would be, is this useful information?

My old headset: Logitech H880

My new headset: TaoTronics SoundSurge 046
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Mohamedkam000:
For GPay, try uninstalling google play services updates, and restrict background data for it, you may also need to use magisk canary.

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] oky82:
I tried to use the phone with 1109 and CSJ3 on my car radio today. Still no call over bluetooth was possible. So there must be a difference in some bluetooth profiles. Some devices work, some not. dows anybody knows more details?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Olangu:
I can confirm that dirty flash on top of last official lineageos is possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Crazy_Fox:
Last official is 20180517?

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Syntax_1:
Version 1109 is working great after flash over 0717 :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Speedmatze:
Same here. Dirty flashed 1109 over 0911 and no problems so far... :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] rbeuker:
Sorry for noob question, but I've clicked many links in the telegram group to find the 1109 version and have not been successful... Could someone please point me in the right direction? [emoji848]

There you go: https://github.com/xawex465/LineageOS-16.0/releases

But I can't find a link for the CSJ3 vendor.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Cecillatour:
You can extract the vendor image from Soldier's ROM and flash it. BTW, the latest vendor is CSK1. When I installed xavex's LOS16 I first flashed CSK1 vendor image, which I extracted from Soldier's ROM.

I'm using CSJ3 with xawex465's ROM build and it seems to be working well so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Speedmatze:
The only thing I am missing in xawex465's ROM is Exchange services. Would be nice if he could include these in the next build...

Is NFC (Gpay) fixed yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] rupert3k:
I reckon yarpin got his Mi 9T Pro & there'll be no more White Wolf kernels.

Though latest White Wolf's included, tried loading WHITE.WOLF.UNI.PIE.LOS.013 with 1109 but it wouldn't boot.

xawex465's improved my Geekbench single core score from average 660 to 730 with (multicore around 2200).

Respectable scores for our aging Exynos, grateful!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] crhylove:
Nope. I've tried everything. Gpay always says, "Your phone has been modified or given root access" error when you try to add a card.

The only other thing is the Bluetooth connectivity. Works with some headsets, not others (for phone calls, works great for all devices for media playback.

I was happy on 717 for a long time, recently dirty flashed Xawax 1109, and also works great on every level other than the aforementioned issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] beugologist:
Hey all, I've got a Knox locked S9 that I'm tempted to flash this xawax's recent LOS 0.2 unofficial build onto.

Does the august build own this thread's front work with NFC / Gpay, and am I correct in assuming its entirely non-functional on xawax's builds?

If so, what would be the best recommended option for a daily driver? I use Gpay so I'd much rather not lose that.

Additionally, what is the camera performance like? I've heard it's nowhere near as good as the stock camera, which is a turnoff. Currently however the stock rom is slowing down and becoming a bit too sluggish.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] crhylove:
The gcam works fine. Maybe a pinch slower, but I think I have high def HDR turned on.

You have an exynos s9? Or qualcom? Because AFAIK only exynos is rootable/flashable. It's my daily driver. :thumbsup:
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] BoganRabbit:
Mobile Data Not working

I can't seem to get mobile data working (it shows the data symbol with a cross next to it)

i've tried reinstalling the rom and clearing the caches

anyone have any ideas on how to fix this ?

xawex465's lineage 16.0 build v0.2 is fantastic, yet I need to ask: is there any other kernel I can try with this rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Cecillatour:
I tried with Endurance kernel but it didn't work. I guess it stopped being updated and it is no longer compatible with newer vendors. Otherwise, it was the best kernel for me for S9 AOSP ROMs.

For me xavex's LOS was stuttering a bit until I installed FDE.AI. App from the PlayStore, not the magisk module. You have to pay for but it is worth every cent. It did wonders for me. The phone runs so smoothly after installing it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] rupert3k:
I was using 0.2 but when I tried flashing it with last White Wolf It wouldn't accept my passcode.

(Admitedly that was anal & dumb as xawex states he already includes latest White Wolf)

Later for some reason it stopped responding to "Hey Google" so I restored 1707
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] xo.en:
Erm...I mean rom is very fluid, etc, but, seeing kernel..possibilities with mtweak I can see ZERO customization/tweaking ways with included kernel. No governors, no io schedulers...weird.

btw, FDE.AI from magisk is not working with this rom, or you could not see its effects?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Cecillatour:
I have first to correct myself. I realized that the ROM was stuttering because of LKT magisk module. So you are right, the ROM is very fluid.

Secondly, after my post, I managed to install Endurance kernel but it would work only if I flashed kernel fix.zip after flashing Endurance kernel and magisk. With Endurance you have plenty of customisations with MTweaks. I cannot say yet if the phone runs better with Endurance or with the WhiteWolf which comes with the ROM but I will do some testing in the incoming days. However, Endurance is no longer updated.

As regards FDE.AI, I tested the magisk module in the past with some of my older phone. It rarely improved anything and often it was crashing ROMs I was using. So, I didn't even try it with this ROM. Instead, I decided to check the app and it turned out that it does wonders to my old phones and improves this ROM too.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] xo.en:
Xavex's LOS is updated to v.0.3!

It includes:

-november security patches

-latest whitewolf kernel 4.9.202

-safetynet pass

-include exchange services

I currently gave a try to magisk's version of FDE.AI v.7.0, so far, so good, cannot see difference yet, but I definitely cannot see any slowdowns, etc.

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] rupert3k:
No matter how often I try I cannot clean install anything but 1707, subsequent LOS16 9810 roms refuse to boot unless I dirty flash.

Is it me or just how it is?

Updating 1707 with Xawex 0.3 kills "hey google" and I'd love to try Andy Yan's LOS17 GSI but that won't boot either.

As for the thread "He's dead Jim!" Xo.en pass the defib, "CLEAR!"
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] geronimoge:
I did a clean installation with v0.3 from xawex (https://github.com/xawex465/LineageOS-16.0/releases) and firmware CSK1 (http://www.renovate-ice.com/soldier9312/#stable_g96x) a few hours ago and so far everything is working just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mvn23:
Rom runs smooth, nice work!

Only issue I found so far is BT phone calls not working.

Apart from that I would love to have wireguard support (can be worked around by installing Endurance kernel) and SELinux enforcing (not working, even with Endurance). Are there any plans for this?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] piwik:
Hi guys, would like to make clean install on my G960F/DS S9.

Is this working for this model ? Cause i am not sure i got it right. On soliders website seems he claims it is only for SM-G96XF/N devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Speedmatze:
I have the G960F/DS and am using the latest xawex 0.3 build with MicroG. and without Gapps.

So far no problems, BT phone calls working, not random reboots,... all great. :cool:

I started with the BRE5 stock ROM (somehow this seems to make a difference), then CSG8 vendor (I guess CSK1 should work too), then xavex's LOS16.0.

You can change baseband afterwards.

After two days usage i only found one issue: Using bluetooth seems to drain the battery way too fast.

At least it seems so. I'll have to check that again.

You can use better battery stats to show a more detailed report
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mvn23:
I have to correct myself here, with the standard kernel BT phone calls are working OK for me.

With the latest Whitewolf kernel I get wireguard support as well, without breaking BT phone calls.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] crhylove:
Would that fix my issue? Phone calls are perfect over BT with my old logitech h880 headset, but my new taotronics headset plays music fine, but won't BT call.... :/

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mvn23:
Might be worth a shot. It's working on my Sony WH-1000XM3, didn't try any other devices yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] geronimoge:
Okay, it's another problem.

Sometimes the phone won't charge and I have to reboot in order to make it work. I tried different cables and so on. A reboot is always the solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Cubekidd:
Hey guys please I need some help. I want to flash a twrp recovery on my s9. It's 960N originally but I have a rom working fine and it's 960f(stock).now when selecting device via the twrp app I got a bit confused about what model to flash so I don't get stuck in a bootloop.. and please any info on kernels to use? My Samsung is just a normal S9 not s9+ but the model is star2lte and its what my phone says but it's not a +..it's a whole lot confusing.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] geronimoge:
Well, I'd try it with TWRP for starlte, since you say it's a S9.

hi all!

i have a problem.

any opengapps installation (arm64-nano-pico-stock) make a boot loop. i don't change the stock kernel.

my procedure list:

-wipe: dalvik, data,cache, internal storage.

-flash vendor

-flash rom

-flash opengapps.

what's my mistake?

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] geronimoge:
You didn' reboot between flashing LOS and GApps?

You could try starting with formatting data.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] pgnd:
1st, it's very much appreciated to have a thread here on XDA.

Just to be clear b4 I fubar myself ...

In the OP's "Instructions:",

Is that "other" than THIS specific ROM?

Or other than a LineageOS-based ROM?

ATM, I'm still on what was the last-provided 'official' LineageOS ROM for my S9+.

To install *this*, must I wipe /data ? I *do* understand I'll need a different vendor.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] nic0n:
hi!

no, only reboot after installing gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Haxomen:
Wipe as per instructions. It doesn't matter on what ROM you are.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] KenyXx:
Camera lagg in Instagram, recording video :( and Whatsapp recording video
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] verynuclear:
I flashed all files at one by one without a single reboot and no single issue.

Vendor failed to be installed so I start with ROM, BOOT, GAPPS, and finally MAGISK.

All is working fine and battery life is superior with no lag or issues with games and daily usage. Even the camera is capturing great photos.

Some options are missing compared to stock but overall powerful with the latest build. I didn't experience that stability with the first build that was published right after HWC fix.

I would like to know if there is any mod to change status bar icons and recent app style.

Thanks developer.

[MENTION=5979640]Haxomen[/MENTION]

Sorry, still not clear. What exactly does "other" mean in this context?

The instructions are

Your comment

reads to me as contradicting that, suggesting instead that even a prior version of _this_ ROM will require a /data wipe.

My understanding for LineageOS roms, @ https://wiki.lineageos.org/faq.html , is

Is the important point here that the REVERSE is also true, when moving FROM 'official' to 'unofficial'? And that, generally, only if you're on exactly the same ROM branch will /data/ wipes NOT be required? (Hoping that that's the case here, once switched to this ROM.)

T.A.!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] negawolf:
Sorry if it has stated before, will this rom works for exynos G965F?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] RyQril:
Bro, no offense but you overthink too much on a literal level.

Worked fine with me from TWRP to wipe/format the: system, data and cache partitions.. I rebooted to the recovery again and installed THIS rom in this actual thread from the actual OP and right afterward flashed nano opengapps and rebooted without clearing the cache after flash... Took me time to bootup but no bootloop...

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Zacnut:
Very happy with this ROM, thank you to everyone involved

The only issue I'm having is related to APNs. I'm with Optus in Australia.

I have to swap between two APNs, one for MMS, one for internet connectivity. I've tried merging the two and tried getting both working at the same time but nether has worked

The solution I found on another forum with a user having identical problem on lineage with the same carrier, was told is must be configured via ADB. I tried the solution but it returns an error accessing "provider telephony" "no permission to write APN settings"

I've had APN issues with lineage before on my S9+ and it's forced me back to TW...

Any help would be appreciated

This ROM rocks! Thank U [MENTION=7861769]Synt4x.93[/MENTION] for providing! Me got 2 questions here: how to get rid off these ugly x's on signal bars and is there any way to get recents to work like it was on stock ROM? I mean something like app lock and clear all...?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] zeyaan:
Finally great to see LOS 16 working. I do have a few questions before I could jump into the flashing business.

I read Camera is acting funninh on 3rd party apps, I wanted to ask people who have already been using this ROM, how is the Camera Video recording capabilities on stock, GCam, WhatsApp, Instagram. I am primarily a photography enthusiast and would like my cam to perform well.

How about VOLTE on Indian networks.

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

Also do I need to flash vendor image of I am already on Samsung official one UI with June security pact? As I see my baseband is CSF2
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] iSonik:
Nvm. I downloaded so many Endurance Kernels over the time, that i flashed the wrong one by mistake which caused random reboots followed by bootloops. My mistake :D
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Haxomen:
It has nothing to do if it was official LOS or stock, or stock based. It is a new ROM, improved a lot and changed from the official LOS or the bugged previous LOS16 build. You should do a clean install if you want it to work without problems
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] James160103:
If you really are a photography enthusiast then you're probably better off with the stock firmware or stock-based ROMs as they offer the best camera quality and loads of different modes.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] okias:
Could you guys please try make this into official LineageOS? We need signed official release from LOS.

xawex465 lineage 16.0 build v0.4

Morning lads, another day, another Xawex build to try.

https://github.com/xawex465/LineageOS-16.0/releases/tag/v0.4

For the more adventurous phh updated his AOSP 10 Treble GSI 6 days ago:

https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v206

and Luke updated his Pixel Experience 10 Treble GSI (based on phh's AOSP) yesterday:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/expressluke-gsis/files/PixelExperience/Ten/ARM64/A/

Now onto my SM-G960F pile of shame, shame, SHAME!

Back in June I picked up a pristine purple S9, chucked it in a Spigen slim hard case.

Thankfully I read about RMM & successfully loaded the original 1707 LOS16 on which this thread is based.

Sadly that was the last time I ever successfully loaded any rom despite trying to load others nearly daily for months now.

Xawex works if I dirty flash but I've never succeeded with any GSI.

I adore my LOS16 S9 & am tremendously grateful to Synt4x, Xawex, phh etc yet like others the release of Android 10 beta 2 for SM-G960F has me wondering if I could bear putrid One UI again at least temporarily.

Much rather run Pixel Experience yet 10 GSI's may not be stable until well into the new year while beta 2 is by all accounts daily driver stable now.

So frustrating Samsung lacks fastboot & curious GSI's don't seem to work via ADB, anywho onwards!
