Hi, looking for a new phone as my existing s7 edge running lineage is dying.

Is the S9+ dual sim a good option?

Does the rom manage to use the camera well, ie the high frame rate in video and low light in camera?

Any pitfalls I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

i have a Problem with my Hi Res Audio on my SM-G965F. I cant get 192 khz 24bit in Poweramp app to work, however 96khz 16bit works. The XML File audio_policy_configuration in /vendor/etc gives me a hint that it could be a Bitwith Problem since i could get 96khz to work even though its limited in the XML to 48khz. Its not super important cause 96khz/16bit is still enough. :)

I have the same problem :(

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] kevin#34:
installed 17.1 few days ago after several attempts (couldn't install TWRP, had to go for Lineage one), overall judgement is really positive (as usual with this rom), especially the battery consumption seems really improved! compared to the stock rom, the only downsides I found are the absence of glove mode (a real pain in the arse if you have glass screen protector) and the missing possibility to switch between slow and fast charge, don't miss so much the face recognition

Hello,

i installed the newest version of LineageOS 17.1 (lineage-17.1-20201119-nightly-star2lte-signed.zip) with TWRP (3.4.0-0-star2lte.img.tar) and Magisk 20.4 on my Samsung Galaxy S9+.

I used the no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1 zip (https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9/sam...lopment/recovery-galaxy-s9-s9-exynos-t4097431)

and the RMM_Bypass_v3_corsicanu.zip (https://xdaforums.com/samsung-a-ser...all-twrp-samsung-t3747535/page63#post79745844)

The problem is that my SIM card is not recognized. WLAN is working.

There is written "no SIM Card" and i don't have to put in the PIN by a restart etc.

I rebooted several times and took out the SIM card, but nothing happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] LiNe1771:
Don't use twrp 3.4, use the 3.3.1.1 or 3.3.1.0.

Probably u wiped your efs partition. Basically do this:

- Flash stock rom with odin

- Flash twrp on odin

- go to twrp -> wipe tab and use the option 'format data' (forget the advanced wipe for now) and type yes. Never wipe the efs or vendor partition. Only system, data, cache, dalvik & internal storage (internal storage is optional, u can leave it intact if u want, so u can maintain your photos and and documents when u go to other roms)

- Forget those 2 zips, the no encrypt and rmm bypass. U just need to do what I said above, formatting data will remove the encryption. The rmm bypass is when your phone isn't allowed to flash anything within 7 days, like a prison from Samsung. U probably didn't needed those and u flashed for nothing..

- After that go to reboot section and reboot to recovery again.

- Flash rom + gapps/microg + kernel (optional) + magisk.

- Done, enjoy.

hi, when I try to install the twrp on the prompt it gives me a series of instructions but nothing is installed on the phone. Why?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] savelbys:
why old TWRP?

you can recommend a kernel that is good with that los rom here? I only use LOS + Magisk normally, no gapps/microg.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] corallino:
Hi, is it better to use odin or heimdall for installation?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] LiNe1771:
Because newest one has some problems.

White wolf kernel, is a good one.

U need to install gapps or microg, otherwise most of the apps won't work due to the lack of Google services/microg (fake Google) services.

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] savelbys:
Ok, thanks a lot, it is working now. The SIM card is recognized and a PIN is required at startup. I think it was the efs or vendor wipe, or the 2 files like you said.

Yes, i know but the main thing because i´m using a custom rom and root is because privacy. So i degoogled the whole phone and use only open source apps usw.

I used the newest version of TWRP (3.4) and everything works, what problems do you had?

I don't see the advantages of a custom kernel, I don't need overclocking, the battery life gets worse

So never do a factory reset (Custom ROM/LOS and TWRP - everything gets deleted) only when flashing a new custom rom. Format Data when i renew the same custom rom. For what is advanced wipe then?

Can I install MicroG later too? Just as a question
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] LiNe1771:
I also degoogled my phone, that's why I use microg & also I use other apps that aren't Google ones.

I didn't had any problem with 3.4, but the devs don't recommend the 3.4 due to some bugs.

When u change rom, u can to to advanced wipe and wipe system/dalvik cache/cache/data, u don't need to wipe internal storage, only if it's encrypted.

White wolf kernel isn't overclocked, I have an awesome battery with it, u can underclock and maintain the awesome performance.

And yes, u can install microg. U can install it on magisk, there's a module for it, or nanodroid microg package.

Any chance to get signature spoofing work without having a windows computer ? If "yes" - how ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] sexler:
I enabled signature spoofing on a Linux computer with a patcher script. Worked fine for me. You can find it here: link

You need to install a couple of packages (adb, java...) but everything is described in the post. I did it on a ubuntu system.

I don’t need to do it anymore because the latest NanoDroid patcher does it (when using mciroG, NanoDroid).

How do you do it on a Windows computer? The last time I looked for it I couldn’t find a solution for this.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Syntax_Error_:
Hi sexler,

thanks a lot !

I have tried it a couple of times to use the NanoDroid patcher - without success.

I have mounted the /system partition manually before using the patch - same error as shown above.

What am i doing wrong ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] sexler:
Is your device encrypted?

When TWRP is not able to mount the partitions when you boot into recovery the NanoDroid patcher is not working (AFAIK). You need to install the latest DM-Verity ForceEncrypt file from here: link

My latest setup is as follows:

Boot into TWRP

Format data (EVERYTHING will be erased! Keep that in mind)

wipe Dalvik, cache, System, Data, internal storage (not everything is needed)

Reboot into recovery (TWRP)

Install ROM

Install Magisk

Install mircoG

Install DM-Verity ForceEncrypt

Reboot into system

This works perfectly fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Syntax_Error_:
The device isn't encrypted.

All steps above look the same as my installation routine. Accept the DM-Verity ForceEncrypt patch.

With LineageOs 16, there wasn't any problem with the Nanodroid-Patcher on starlte. Worked like a charme.

Strange.....
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Speedmatze:
If you want LOS17 with microG, why don't you use the pre-build version with microG included?

Anyone deactivated AGPS/SUPL-Request here by the S9+ LineageOS 17.1 or know how to do this?

normally you can find the config under /etc/system/gps.conf or /vendor/etc/gps.conf and then edit the file gps.conf

But i only have the "debug" one. There is nothing by me, i used the mixplorer (sadly not open source, only for a test) and the simple file manager pro with root access.

hi ,

have you noticed the HUGE amount of changes made the last week for our SOC? Did anybody noticed any improvement or bugfix ?

you can see all the changes in Red in the 30 november build

Samsung Galaxy S9 - LineageOS 17.1

LineageOS 17.1 Changelog for Samsung Galaxy S9 (starlte). This page is listing the official LineageOS 17.1 (Android 10 10.0) changes and downloads for Samsung Galaxy S9 (starlte).

www.lineageoslog.com

And obviously many thanks to our mantainer :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Tom1369:
@effry

I have seen all these changes and highly appreciate the work of our maintainer. Great job (y).

BTW: I hope that some open issues can be addressed in future updates. As far as my S9 is concerned, I am looking for Galileo/Beidou support, improved Bixby button support and AudioFX which is completely missing ;).

Thanks

Tom
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] effry:
i used to be on lineage os before all these changes but then had to switch to a stock-derived rom exactly because of these little bugs, in particular the inability to set the vibration strenght for notifications (even if the settings is present it's not working). So my question is: is it worth to try again with the latest build or all these chanes are just "under the hood" and the bugs are still the same?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Tom1369:
I cannot give any recommendations on LO 17.1 yet, since I installed it just 2 months ago. However, I just checked the possibility to adjust the vibration strength. There are 4 levels offered (high, medium, low, off). They have a corresponding effect on the haptic feedback (y). However, as ringing or notifications are concerned, they only seem to support on/ off functionality. I did not feel any difference in the strength of the vibration when high, medium or low was selected :(.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] savelbys:
I made a update OTA with the "Updater" but after that my Root/Magisk disappeared after that, The Magisk Manager App was still there, but with no options/don't worked.

Do I have to manually install the Magisk Zip in TWRP after each update every time or is there a workaround?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Tom1369:
In fact, this is what I do every time I install an new update of LOS. First I install LOS and afterwards I install Magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Tom1369:
I was curious to see, why it is necessary to re-install Magisk after any LineageOS update. So, I downloaded the most recent nightly revision of LineageOS for my Galaxy S9 and had a look inside.

I think, the boot.img included with the zip package explains, why it is necessary to re-install Magisk. Since Magisk tweaks the boot.img it has to be (re)-installed after the installation of a new LineageOS update.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] savelbys:
Ok, thanks a lot

So when there is no workaround i do it so and flash the zip after a update

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] savelbys:
+1, there is no option for fast charging and showing a notification for charging. (stock rom shows fast charging, slow charging, defect charging etc.)

And i have tried to disable/change (A)ssisted GPS/-SUPL.

I want to change it to localhost, or to supl.vodafone.com but i don't have the gps.conf file. Normally it is at /etc/system/gps.conf or /vendor/etc/gps.conf

i only have gps.debug there, i can't find that file (rooted with Magisk, LOS 17.1, S9+)

the following is needed to edit that:

SUPL_HOST=supl.host.com or IP

SUPL_PORT=7275 (variable)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] LiNe1771:
You can change to normal charge or fast charge on system files/terminal.

But, u need to change it every time u reboot it.

echo 1 > /sys/class/sec/switch/afc_disable

Echo 1 enables normal charge. Echo 0 enables fast charging.

Paste that on some terminal, grant root before of course and u will change the charging method.

U can also go to the file on sys/class/sec/switch/afc_disable and manually change the value.

If your are happy with LOS 15.1 and it is still supported with security updates, stay with LOS 15.1.

I have installed LOS 17.1 about 4 months ago on my S9, I have updated it a couple of times by means of those nightly updates, the essential features are running properly (local backups turned out to be a real challenge, though), but I am still waiting for some requested features to be added.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Tom1369:
This is what I have successfully done a couple of times to install a nightly update on my S9:

Created a local backup of my data partition on an external SDCARD

Downloaded recent nightly update using the LOS17.1 updater

Copied the downloaded nightly update (stored under data/lineageos_updates/<lineage_update>.zip ) to my external SDCARD

Booted into twrp recovery

Mounted external SDCARD

Install <lineage_update>.zip without „Zip signature verification“ and without „Reboot after installation“

Install <magisk>.zip (I have it also stored on my external SDCARD) without „Zip signature verification“ but with „Reboot after installation“

I do not use opengapps and I have never wiped dalvik/cache.
