I've finally tried this gcam variant and my experience is mixed. I should mention that I use a DLSR and am used to semi-manual settings and post-processing on PC (if needed).

Normal Shots: Comparable to full-auto on OpenCamera, but retains details in shadows better in HDR scenarios.

HDR Shots: Better than normal shots on either camera. OpenCamera uses a multiple-exposure HDR method, so it's results retain more detail in dark/bright regions, but are very sensitive to camera shake. OpenCamera can keep the individual pictures (even as raw), so you could post process them later.

Panorama/Sphere: Both working ok on this gcam. After processing the image it doesn't return to the "viewfinder" mode, you have to press home and open the app again (on my device at least). The quality is quite good. As ned14 said, the panorama mode in OpenCamera is crap. The final processed image is best used only as a preview, thankfully OpenCAmera can save the individual images for processing on a PC.

Aperture: This camera remembers your last settings, but it can be only changed in the settings menu and takes 4 taps total. OpenCamera defaults to f1.5, but requires only 2 taps to change. Automatic mode is not supported for either.

SlowMo: Just works, both 120fps and 240fps. OpenCamera can do neither.

Lenses: It's worth mentioning that this cam only supports the primary back and the crop front camera.

I think for most of the people in this thread it's a good idea to have both apps installed and choose the better one depending on the scenario: GCam for simplicity and the extra modes, OpenCamera for the extra lenses, manual controls and more flexibility. Personally I'll default to OpenCamera.

I'm running RC2 and OpenGAPPS pico on the S10e and that works for me. AFAIK no part of MicroG is included with this ROM. Have you tried installing the microg service core?

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

Glad you figured it out by yourself. I'll add a note to the FAQ that advanced wipe doesn't work for data.
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] fishnetfancy:
You are correct. I mixed it up with the UnifiedNLP back end which is included with this ROM. I don't really know much about MicroG and OpenGAPPS and the difference between the two. I like my ROM as google free as possible but am prepared to install something unobtrusive and low-risk from a privacy point of view in order to gain slow motion functionality on my camera.

Can anyone get the metioned GCam version to work? I just get an immediate FC.
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] ctrej:
I did not have to do anything special to get it to work; I just installed it like any other app. I'm running RC2 and OpenGAPPS pico on an S10e. Are you using OpenGAPPS, MicroG or nothing at all? A similar issue was found by fishnetfancy:
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] fishnetfancy:
Thank you, Ctrej, really appreciate having these updates to the FAQ which are concise and easy to understand.

Can you confirm whether the IDan GCam works on the LOS ROM as it is or whether it will need GAPPS?

I have never installed GAPPS on my LOS ROMs before so it is new territory for me. Many Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] ctrej:
Thanks, I'm glad the FAQ is helpful to you! Honestly I don't know if gapps is required, if microg is a suitable alternative or if it can even work on the LOS Rom as-is. And because I've finally set up my device to my liking over the weekend, and I'm not willing to start over just to try it out for you :P. Maybe someone who has no gapps installed can try it out and report back?
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] fishnetfancy:
Makes sense - so the question is whether anybody has managed to get the GCam to run without MicroG or OpenGAPPS
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] KanyT:

It must be installed BEFORE any GCam, reboot the phone.

Sorry for offtop, does anybody knows if there exist any FOSS alternative on Lineage OS to Google's Smart Lock? Looking for disabling passcode/FP while connected to sertain BT device
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] fishnetfancy:
Thank you for your detailed description. With your help I managed to un-install UnifiedNLP.

I then installed the latest MicroG GMSCore Service from F-Droid which was enough to get the GCam from the FAQ working (though I have black screen on rear camera, photo only).

Could you please explain what the difference is with the rest of your guide above vs. installing MicroG from the F-Droid repo (or Magisk Module for that matter)? I am new to the whole MicroG/GAPPS/spoofing thing. Your method seems more complicated but I would be very happy to follow it if it offers better/more proper results!

Quick bit of advice needed on the 86400 second lock issue:

So dumbo here decided to go into TWRP, enter my pattern, and wipe the cache - you know, just general maintainance and messing around. I've rebooted and now I'm locked out for 24 hours - save me the heartache, if I wait 24 hours will it return to normal, OR have I borked it and should I do a full wipe and restore?
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] ctrej:
You should just wait the 24 hours and you can boot normally again. Do not enter TWRP again or shut down the phone, this will reset the counter. Charge the phone if needed, I don't know if an empty battery resets the counter as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] Lav64:
Lol, guess which dummy also turned of their phone too. Yes, I've learned the hard way.

Charging the phone now and it should be back to normal tomorrow. Thanks for the tips. I promise, I'll read the warnings next time.
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] d1845825:
Hi, I'm on BETA3 and want to update to RC2 but I don't really understand if I should follow the 'update LineageOS' or 'update the fireware' section of the FAQ and if updating the fireware or the OS erase data.

I also have a sd card and was wondering if there's a way to encrypt it since Lineage OS doesn't seems to offer this option.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] ccejbc:
Thanks for the ROM - works like a charm!

Just thought I'd make a few notes to possibly help others in the future.

When trying to flash the recovery and vbmeta images I got the error:

Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed

To solve this boot into the stock OS and go to developer options. If you can't see the OEM unlock switch then you need to trick the phone as described here/. When you can see the greyed out switch in developer options you should be good to try again.

The installation guide gives instructions for Odin, but I used Heimdall with

heimdall flash --VBMETA vbmeta.img --RECOVERY recovery.img

This didn't exit cleanly and the progress bar in download mode didn't quite reach the end, but after waiting a while I shutdown with power + volume down then booted to recovery and everything seemed to work. I also occasionally got a Protocol Initialisation Failed error, but that went away after shutting down and rebooting to download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] ctrej:
RC2 is compatible with the same firmware that was required for BETA3, so you can just follow the "update LineageOS" section. Updating does not affect any user data, but I'd recommend you to back up all important data (like photos) in case something goes wrong.

For encryption EDS might be a good option. The container files are compatible to veracrypt, so you can access the files on a PC if ever needed. I'm planning to do this for my device, but I haven't had time to try it out.
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] ned14:
I can confirm that during my testing of the gcams, I was on microg. No gapps installed.

On other news, I've decided that I like the Samsung Stock Camera too much to leave it, so I am currently trying to badger a stock ROM into as close to lineageos as possible, including microg. It's taking rather a lot of effort, but I am making progress, slow and steady.
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] Keule-Tm:
I'm in no way an expert on this, but wouldn't it be possible to take the libs+apk of the stock cam and reverse engineer anything needed around it? And maybe put that in a Magisk module?

Probably that's just wishful thinking on my side, but I'd definitely love it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] charliebigpot:
Sorry to break it to you, but yes, it's wishful thinking - it's not easy easy unfortunately.

Jey guys whenever i tried to root my s10+ and install magisk via odin or twrp then it will hang up on samsung logo. In simple workmds, stuck on bootloop. Any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] ned14:
Alas if it were that easy, it would have been done already for the LO port to the S10. And even if Samsung release new AOSP compatible binary blobs which expose more of the hardware to standard Android (e.g. telephoto lens, VoLTE), you'd still never get the deep integration that Samsung have done between their camera app, their kernel, and the rest of Android. For example, and I know it's a silly thing, but the screen brightness on stock is far more appropriate to ambient lighting than it can ever be on LO, because standard Android thinks there can only ever be one lux sensor. Ditto the grip, lift and motion sensors all have deep integration with the UI, ambient display, and lock screen. There are lots more little touches and tweaks throughout. One just needs rid of all the Samsung guff and UI puffery, and it becomes tolerable.

I'm currently adjusting the xda guide for converting a stock Samsung install into a MicroG one for Android 10 and the S10. Lots of trial, error, factory reset, repeat. I'll publish it under a new topic in S10 mods if I get it working right.
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] modpunk:
There is a problem with the sensor HAL and we use the uncalibrated lux sensor instead of the calibrated one. I've fixed it in the meantime.
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] jfk_77:
Has anyone managed to make a notification led work around the cutout? The solutions that exist (Edge Lighting +, Holey Light, Arc Lighting) all fail with this (great) ROM. Holey Light requires the options that are in the stock AOD parameters but we don't have them (yet?).
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] ned14:
I had Holey Light running just fine on RC2 before I wiped it. The hole appears in completely the wrong place on first install, but you can move it in the config until it's right. Maybe it was the lack of presence of gapps or microg that caused your issues?
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] jfk_77:
Interesting. So you did manage to set values for AOD? This is what prevents me from using the app right now. The post-install pop-ups ask me to change parameters in the AOD settings but I just can't access AOD settings since I just have an ON/OFF option.
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] jfk_77:

Is fast charging working on RC2?

I went from B2 to RC2 and just noticed that I don't get the fast charge notification on the lockscreen anymore? I think to remember that it worked on B2, am I making that up?
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] fishnetfancy:
I never managed to get through the installation wizard. Instead an error message pops up saying

Holey Light does not appear support your device. If you are using an S10 variant please report this code to the XDA thread.

[ unknown ]

I tried this with RC1, RC2 and RC2 + MicroG on my S10+. FWIW there is no AOD setting on my installation - is that setting available at all on this ROM? Hoely Light seems to be looking under Settings -> Lock Screen -> Always On Display -> Display Mode

I only have Lock Screen under Notifications

Would love to get this working!

Thank you, Ned. I installed RC2 and MicroG in order to try out the GCam you recommended. I can only get it to work in video mode, but get a black viewfinder in camera/photo mode. Was there anything else you had to do to get it working? I tried both, the IDan_N6_3.5 and IDan_N6_3.5_fix variants.

Anyone?

Hello,

just want the devs to know that I installed RC2 and am really happy with the ROM.

Battery life, BT connection with the car and everything else I tried just works. I feel it increased the value of my S10e!
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] Lav64:
Hi

Sorry, this one is going to be an anecdotal one as I can't seem to quantify it.

Since moving from stock Samsung one UI to this lineage release, WiFi is very unreliable. Maybe it's just my home, but previously the phone could stay connected anywhere, and now it only stays connected when I'm closer to the device i.e. when signal is stronger.

Are there any other reports of wifi stability?

Are there any steps I can take to make my device more stable in the meantime?
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] ctrej:
Yes, fast charging is still working. On my device it does not show up on the lockscreen either, but I measured the actual charge current/voltage/power and it matches the expected 15W within margin (measured 14.7W - this is within the hardware tolerance)

I've installed magisk with the instructions from the FAQ and it works for me just fine. It's hard to guess what went wrong on your device. If you can still access twrp you may try to reinstall LineageOS from scratch, boot and see if that works. Then try to re-install magisk.

So far I did not notice any issues with wifi, but during my testing I've noticed that the bluetooth connection suffers when the phone is touched on the frame in the upper area (top 1cm). Because wifi and ble use the same frequency (2.4GHz) they most likely use the same antenna and would thus share reception issues. Are you holding the phone in landscape by any chance and thus touching those areas? I could imagine that the stock software uses some kind of fancy antenna diversity algorithm to mitigate that issue (and Lineage doesn't support it) but this is just a vague guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] Fajny.Masz.Tornister:
Hey.

I just installed the ROM - and i WAS also stuck on endless boot loop . for a while.

One thing that I found out. was that the TWRP version (twrp-3.3.1-0-android-10.0-beyond1lte-1 ) PRESELECTS after ( dalvik + cache wipe ) + the format ... it still pre-selects on the list "wipe" the CACHE + Dalvik + SD Card.

When i WAS selecting the "select storage" i made the STORAGE .. kind of the one being ACTIVE - so the SD card.

When .. then i selected the ZIP to install lineage-17.1-20200713-UNOFFICIAL-RC2-beyond1lte.zip-6e2d2dbc5c5125b6968a439b42801c57.MD5 it restarted saying ... i am still in .. boot.. bu then .. i went back to the WIPE menu,

did the wipe of dalvik + cache ( nice win-95 yers flew threw my mind.. where ever exception got it solution in reinstalling windows :D )

then when this was done, then when i selected the FORMAT.. the Dalvik and cache WAS STILL selected.. so i changed the "storage" location to the internal storage [ when doing the format, with "typed yes" confirmation ] and then the checkbox on the \/data appeared to be active and additionally i had to UNSELECT dalvik + cache.. and when this completed

I got OUT of bootloop.

For The reminder -

The "select storage" with the external SD with ZIP is kind of in the further FORMAT action, not ( selecting the /data ) + ( not "UNSELECTING" the dalvik cache ) -> so i think this is just the "the cached" setting of checbkoxes from moving between devices -> the CASE with bootloop.

Right, I have updated my firmware, using the Home-CSC for keeping my data on the mobile... Funny enough it's not working at all, I have lost all my data since at the boot it was saying that the partition was corrupted.. I had to factory reset.

But the most funny part, I couldn't even recover the Google backup. From LineageOs you can select a grid from 3x3 - 4x4 - etc.. But when you want to restore your backup, Google is only proposing 3x3 grid. Making your backup totally useless.. That's insane.

[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] ctrej:
Good question. So far this switching from another ROM has not been discussed in this thread. Besides the ROM itself you'll also need to install our twrp and possibly a firmware update. You can skip the "unlock" step because you've done that before installing your current ROM. The process should be similiar to the FAQ description.

I have not tired this myself, so I can't gurantee that it works without issues. Remember to back up all important data from your phone and to remove pin/password/pattern lock before attempting anything. Please report back if that worked for you or if you ran into any issues (and how you solved them). I'll then update the FAQ accordingly.

Sounds more sad than funny to me. Sorry for the troubles. I'll add this info to the FAQ in the next revision. Thanks for reporting it.

Edit:

I'm running CTF1 as well, it's supported and works fine :) As Stef4n82 said, this ROM will still work with CTF3.

You have to install this TWRP: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s10/sa...covery-twrp-3-3-1-0-s10e-update-2020-t4067765

And then you have to install it like you would install it from stock:

Install LinageOS

copy the ROM ZIP file an external SD card

Boot into the recovery

Wipe cache + dalvik (wipe->advanced and select cache + dalvik)

Format data (wipe->format data, use the dedicated button, wipe->advanced does not work)

Flash the ROM (install -> select storage -> micro SD card and select the .zip file)

Optional: Flash GAPPS (e.g. OpenGAPPS)

Reboot to system

If you need magisk read this post: FAQ

Edit: And like [MENTION=8353517]ctrej[/MENTION] mentioned you have to check if your phone is running with the correct firmware. Otherwise you have to follow the instructions given at the FAQ. You will find instructions to update the firmware there too.

[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] :
Don't know if you will pass SafetyNet with Magisk atm. You can do a websearch on "SafetyNet + Magsik" and you can read google has improved the SafetyNet check. So for now you wont bypass it via Magisk. The only thing what you can do if you really need your device to pass SafetyNet is to go back to the Stock ROM

Google *can* use the security chip on a device. Not doing so will be deprecated. But on many ROMs it doesn't (at least for the time being).

That being said, in the future it will get harder to convince gsf to not use that chip (until eventually it won't be possible anymore - but that's like mid-future).

Over the weekend I've made the jump from Beta2 to RC2 and a firmware update besides. I've got to say, except for having to wait a day (I didn't disable the pattern beforehand), this was a very smooth and painless update. Been running RC2 for a few days now and everything works very smooth. Seems performance has slightly improved, with a little bit of micro-stuttering gone, but that may just be my impression.
