[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Introduction

LineageOS 17.1 is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 10.0, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device. The port for the Exynos7580 based devices was created by @Stricted and I along with many contributions from other people in the Android community.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

What works

Calls, SMS, Mobile Data

Camera

NFC

WiFi

Bluetooth

Torch

Sensors

GPS

SELinux Enforcing

HWC​

What doesn't work (official blockers)

IMS services (VoLTE, VoWiFi, etc). Samsung has their own proprietary implementation. It is not really possible to easily port that to LineageOS.

WiFi tether (hotspot) not functional fixed in 22/02/2020 release

HD headsets in call not working fixed in 21/01/2020 release

FP scanner has been reported unstable fixed in 22/02/2020 release

NFC HCE (GooglePay etc) fixed in 07/03/2020 release

You tell me!
​

Known Issues

If you are running the latest update and are not able to enroll a fingerprint you may need to clear the fingerprint data using this zip (flashable in TWRP): https://mega.nz/#!6YZV2QTY!hOYYwrbkTPfThUIJUffOEQWMosdCxeqy_7JdGpYp3AA
​

There are still quite a few features that are not yet completed for LineageOS 17.1, these are not bugs this is a beta release.

Any hardware related issues will be ignored if you do not provide:

a) Logcat

b) proc/last_kmsg

c) data/tombstones

d) dmesg

Also do not under any circumstances post bug reports if you are using substratum themes or unsupported magisk modules or you have performed any system modifications

Installation

Install the latest TWRP (Available Here)

Make a full backup (just in case something goes wrong)

Do a full wipe (Cache, Data, System)

If this is your first time on a LineageOS ROM format data

Download the latest LOS build and transfer it to your phone

Install LOS

If you are installing GApps do it at the same time (preferably in the same install queue)

And finally boot, the first boot can take several minutes as it optimises all the apps

Do NOT install the TWRP app when prompted, this will cause a bootloop
