can you support dc dimming? instead of pwm?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] HDXUT:
awesome！
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] HDXUT:
this app can make the screen work in fake dc mode，than the screen can work with flicker-free

p.s this app's devoloper is a chinese guy,maybe the app not support english
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] amakuramio:

closed source rom

that's very true, this rom looks very promising but as long as it stays closed source you can't really check it's not stealing/leaking your phone information, your personnal data, your passwords, what you type, what your phone's camera sees, what's you say... and so on.

No need to worry about a closed source app when you use a closed source rom :)

---------- Post added at 08:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

this is very weird, the less people can see the source the less people can help improve the rom, less support, less progress, less fixes, and so on...

this is the worst excuse ever. hopefully Linus hasn't done that or we'd all be using microsoft or apple OSes... :silly:

not ranting, time will tell if the changes are opened, but hey stop repeating BS excuses :p
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] MMLP2:
That's kinda weird since aosp licensing requires you to publish the source.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] murtzsch:
the apache 2 license is quite permissive, it's the reason why there's so many closed source custom roms, most of them are one-man roms that die when the hacker stops playing with it.

the linux kernel has a copyleft license, it's required to publish the sources.

You have a point about open source, I'll agree with you there.

The ROM developer wants to fix a load of bugs before releasing all of the source code. He could release it now, but then there would be roms based on his code with incomplete fixes. He's a perfectionist, my opinion on that.

There are only parts of the source code that are hidden at the moment. Admitted this does make it hard for anyone else to build the rom and it does mean no one can contribute to the source code.

However I don't agree with not being able to check if a rom is stealing data, information or spying on you. You can check and it's easy to do.

Time will tell and source code will be released. I'd put money on that.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Speedmatze:
The comment you quoted was not about this ROM but about a Chinese App for changing display mode... :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] murtzsch:
;) I know, but if you're worried about privacy you shouldn't use a closed source rom.

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

at this level, the easiest way to check this ROM changes compared to LOS is to see the full sources and provide a doc for everyone to rebuild.

I'm also curious how easy it is to check what your OS is doing otherwise, could you please share your tips ? :)

I don't think it's perfectionism, I'm not here to start flame wars or to insult the dev, I'd say it's more like "I'm not too sure if my changes are clean, I'm still learning and trying to get everything right the LOS way".

But the best way to move forward is to get help from others...
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] HDXUT:
i think that's not a problem,the app comes from a friendly community，many chinese developer release their app on it，and the community‘s manager will examine and verify the app.

so this app is safe,u dont need to worry about it will stole your information.

is there a recommended kernel or should i just use the included one?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] EagleSoldier:
Included one is very good.

Highly recomended.

Otherwise you can use Endurance Kernel

Open or closed, the details of my device and online activity are theivable, regardless.

Here I am, in an internet forum, downloading and installing various, spuriously distributed, perfect-stranger's softwares on my most personal of personal items.

Whether the particular compiler of this ROM is "stealing data" from you, or not, you should always remember things, like all those little "accept and continue" dialogues, that you've never read the small-print to(btw, they all say "we're taking your data if you click accept), that appear on most softwares, closed or open.

Want to steal my particularly dubious masturbatory material, my few measly Pounds and Pence in the bank, my fingerprints to pretend it was actually me who robbed those diamonds, rather than you? Go right ahead.

I don't do anything on my devices that I don't already know is already hijacked and already stolen by people creating this digital World already.

If *you* do, whoever you are, and for any reason, you think that every single password, keystroke, picture, audio utterance etc. that you make isn't already "stolen", then you are sadly mistaken.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] bdwilk:
Well said. I think we just became friends.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] murtzsch:
that's also what's happening on google play, they publish the apps, they can't know what's really happening with the apps, it takes curious geeks (nothing negative with being a geek, we all are) a lot of time to discover some apps are malicious and then they eventually remove the apps.

many people want something so hype or so nice, they want it so much they stop thinking in the process...

---------- Post added at 01:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------

that's also what I would accept at my level, I have nothing to hide.

I have nothing to hide to people I trust-ish. I don't care my operator and my gov know I watch porn.

In the mean time, what's bringing us LOS and all those customs roms: it's open for everybody to help and participate, it's even possible for everybody to change 2 lines of code, call it "my rom" and close it, and when that happens it begins to suck.

how do you flash the vendor image? I can get fastboot or heimdal to work, and I can't find a lick of information anywhere on the web....

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] stewa2jm:

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] bdwilk:
Well I agree with D4ND310. Can't be too scared of a ROM published in such an open platform as XDA and telegram. It's not like Synt4x.93 is data mining anyone's phone. I'd trust this ROM over OOS on my 5t as I'm sure every single OEM is banking all data made on their devices. Even precious Apple.

In short I don't care if anyone of you tinfoil hat wearing people use this ROM or not just stop asking him to hurry up and make it official or publish his repos as I can guarantee that will only make him want to not do it even more.

This stuff is free, it's for fun, and nobody is forcing anyone to use it. Either have fun and enjoy it or unfollow the thread and have fun flashing the "custom" stock ROMs that are available.......or are you scared of them also?

P.S. ransomware? Bwahaha.

i only complained about closed source origin of anti flicker software because they use accessibility to spy on screen

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Zwulf:
Gosh. This ROM is for free. The dev does this in his spare time for people like you. I really hate to be that guy, but: if you have complaints, just use another ROM, a GSI, whatever. This discussion really annoys me (and many others as well). If you are that serious about privacy (I am, too, but I don't cry and annoy other people because I bought the wrong phone), DON'T buy a Samsung, but a Copperhead or at least a Pixel. Be thankful to the dev as he ows you -nothing-. If you demand something, pay someone willing or do it yourself. People like you are the ones that make devs stop publishing builds - for everyone. Better this than stock, right?!

Btw I use my phone without any Google stuff and I'm glad the dev makes this possible for me as I'm too lazy and inexperienced to compile a ROM myself. But I bet you still use Gapps while you're whining about privacy... You could always compile the ROM you want yourself. Instead you assume the dev who made the ROM you're using for free would spread spyware. Shame on you. Go ahead and use another ROM, there are many usable GSIs for your device.

Most important thing: Stop. Now.

Thank you.

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] zeyaan:
Let's end the privacy crap Outta this thread. Each one cares about his/her privacy. If anything is stopping you from using this ROM, stay away from it. As simple as that. Do not start of debate and terrorize people on public forum.

1. If you care about privacy so much, stick to stock, avoid root and disable gapps

2. This is XDA guys, come on. No 1 wants to mine data from Dev community.

3. There are always people checking on things, including apps and roms published by OEM's.

So let's end it here.

Cheers !!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] murtzsch:
rename it !

It's useful to educate people about the benefits of open source softwares and roms tho.

If I wanted to test malware I'd fork lineageos, close it, call it "lineageos unofficial" and post it to xda since a lot of users are blindly trusting everything they can get on xda. (from roms to apps)

So I'd advise to rename this rom to something new that is not LOS. The actual name is misleading people into thinking they are using LineageOS, they are not, they can't build it, the changelogs are vague and evasive.

but yeah, let's stop this, both those conversations and the fact it's not open for everybody to help are counterproductive.

How can i fix that? Anyways, thanks to the developer for the rom
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] zohaibshafijutt:
Installed this rom. Very smooth experience.

I have encountered some bugs.

Camera lags in WhatsApp.

Phone stops charging while using google maps and playing pubg and even battery decreases while charging and using these apps.

Pixel launcher crashes (using stock. Installed micro gapps )

Features I would love to have.

Face unlock

Swipe for gestures which i use a lot.

Can charging issue be resolved by installing kernel ?

*in instagram, when zooming, it produces a lag and the video does not end.

Get the latest Netflix APK from apkmirror. Should work.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] D4ND310:
It does, indeed, install via .apk download but, I've found over the last few days that no streamed, or downloaded, video will play using the most recent version if this ROM. Various different error message codes appear.

I'm not sure if I used my NF app in the last version of this ROM but I did have it installed from a backup.

I've since tried most builds of Netflix from v6.24 - v7.18. Same issue with each version: "There was a problem playing this video. - error xx.xx."

Hi all. For some reason the rom does not pass the just a sec screen during first boot.

After about 60 seconds the screen goes black, and then it starts over with the just a sec screen.

Any ideas? I have a S9+

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Aerox912:
Did all of the above already. I formatted all partitions before installing vendor and the rom zip file.

I also installed without magisk and gapps. And then it goes to black directly, but i have sounds when i press the lock button.

It seems like a kernel issue, possibly in combination with the latest firmware. I'm running on CSG8.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] paul c:
I flashed vendor then ROM and gapps then the magisk zip. It booted fine but had no signal - so I flashed the previous firmware (you can get a copy from Soldier's site, it's at the bottom of the page where he keeps his ROMs). Ran ok after that.

Worth a try - though I agree it does sound more like a kernel malfunction

NFC extended length support

[MENTION=7861769]Synt4x.93[/MENTION]

Hi, I have tried your ROM and it looks good. Sadly, similar to official (now discontinued) LOS15.1 NFC extended length support is not enabled in this ROM. According to LOS Changelog 15 the support was added to LOS, but has to be enabled "per phone rom".

Would you be able to do this in your ROM? That would be highly welcome :)

PS: I cannot post URL links ATM, just google for LineageOS changelog 15

Hello, I am having issues flashing this to my new S9+. I have followed the instructions here and on youtube videos as a starting point, and keep ending up in the same spot - every time I install the zip and reboot from TWRP, I can't get past the splash screen. I can get other roms, like Soldier's ones, running just fine with the method I am using, here is what I am doing.

-Wipe dalvik, system, data, cache

-Reboot back to recovery

-Install star2lte-vendor-CSF2.img

-Install lineage-16.0-20190717-UNOFFICIAL-star2lte.zip

-Reboot, and am unable to get past splash screen

I have tried installing no-verity-opt-encrypt, installing endurance kernel beforehand, and I am also on CSF2 firmware. I am not sure what else I should do to be able to get past this boot screen, could someone please help?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] zeyaan:
Hey you need to also flash Magisksu. Try it and report back.

Don't you wanna use gapps?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Zwulf:
Try this:

Extract boot.img from Lineage OS zip. Go to TWRP, install Lineage, don't reboot. Get back to main screen, tap on install again, then on button "Install Image", choose boot.img, choose Boot in following dialog. Wipe Cache/Dalvik, reboot.

Wait up to 5 minutes for first boot to take place (on some devices I had first boot sometimes took more than 10 minutes but then worked).
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Newsplash:
I tried this method twice and I'm still encountering the same issue of not booting past the splash screen. Both times I waited over 10 minutes, and I got nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Zwulf:
Weird.

One possibility I know is left (depending on my experiences yet). Had this issue before on another device and did so many things to work around, but nothing worked at all. But desperately wanted to use that one particular ROM, so I backed up internal storage on my PC and then did a full wipe (including whole internal storage). Afterwards I tried again and it magically worked. Seems like sometimes there is something left on the device that even doesn't get deleted with normal wipes, especially after heavy system modifications on the ROMs before like Xposed or similar deep digging mods or after changing ROM from stock (based) to AOSP (based). Even if backing up stuff may be a bit annoying, full wipe with internal storage often does the trick.

Also try to download the ROM again with Firefox. I often had problems with WebView based browsers, crippling ROM downloads strangely.

Wish you the best of luck hoping you can solve this. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Newsplash:
Neither of those methods are working either, do you have any other ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] bdwilk:
Did you try formatting where you have to type "yes"? It'll wipe everything as well.
