[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] GuestK00449:
Yep. It got confirmed that p20 pro will not get EMUI 10.1.

Emui 10 got delayed till June, and also we got removed from montly security updates.

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------

While i agree with you that custom roms are dying, unfortunately you are completely wrong about the 2 year cycle of life.

All android manufacturers can push as many updates as Apple, but they refuse, because mob mentality. I paid a lot of cash for this phone only to be treated the same way as the P9 days : Delayed updates for x times, updates that got canceled because of unknown reasons and so on.

Huawei had the ability to come on top if they announced that phones from 2017 and up will get a lot of updates, since now they no longer have google services and they can easily use their OWN services to gain profit, just like Apple. They refuse to see it, they become stubborn, and me as a consumer will put my foot down and no longer buy phones from this brand, neither anything related to Huawei.

Great hardware, bad software.

I will have to waste 1k on an Iphone but at least i can be assured that i get a lot of support for more than those 2 years that android manufacturers provide.

Huawei, you deserve all you're getting. If you don't man up and stop with these PR stunts and "communism", the brand will die. Literally Xiaomi surpassed them!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Qgloof:
I'm done with Huawei.

My next phone will be an OnePlus, Samsung or Xiaomi.

Huawei as a company became trash af.

I was in love with the brand since I got a Mate 10 lite - but what they're doing is nonsense bull****.

Great hardware, nice UI, but the attitude towards updates is seriously bad.

Without GMS and changes in their behavior, this company will get out from Europe maybe around 2025. At least their mobile section for sure.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] arty_a:
If you don't plan to immediately switch to a custom ROM don't go with Xiaomi. They have terrible software, with hard-to-imagine amount of bloat and ad-ware. From my past experience they are even worse than Huawei in terms of updates.

If you live in any country that gets Exynos variants of Samsung phones - it's a waste of money. It's proven that they have far worse performance compared to the Snapdragon variants of the same model (at the same price). Don't know how fast Samsung rolls out updates now, but in the past they were very slow.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Qgloof:
Thank you for sharing your experiences.

I live in Hungary, we get Samsung phones with Exynos.

Do you have any experience with OnePlus? I heard that they're the "iPhone" of android phones.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] arty_a:
I don't have experience with OnePlus yet, but I'm considering it as an option for my next device.

I can't really imagine what "They're the "iPhone" of Android phones." means.

OnePlus phones are pretty open and have some nice custom ROM options. They are not as expensive as other flagship devices (although getting closer every year). In the last models they had some green tint issues with the screen (some say minor and limited). Overall considered to have good hardware and software.

That's more or less what I know, you probably can get much more (and more reliable) information on the OnePlus forums.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Qgloof:
I see. Thank you, have a nice day!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] gd6noob:
LOL you think Samsung or Xiaomi cares about software updates? Any company that produces 10+ lines of devices dont care about keeping up with updates.. only selling....

You want consistent updates, go with Apple, Google or even OnePlus, as they openly support 3rd party roms...
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] pablo_max:
I'd also not go with Samsung. They are very poor with regards to updates as well. Xiaomi is fast with updates actually, but there skin really is ****. Think.. original touchwiz ****.

Apple, Google or OnePlus are the only options for updates. Though, if 'Murica decides to ban all tech to China, then oneplus is also out.

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​

HWC​

What doesn't work

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

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 optimizes all the apps​

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

​

Downloads

Latest Official releases HERE​

OpenGapps HERE(ARM, 10, nano)​

TWRP is availableHERE​

Magisk is available HERE​

hi thanks for your great job . can I flash this rom on a710fd ?

and what are issues with it ? has pixel (google) apps? I need closest rom to pixel experience and so far only this one seems to be compatible with my device. (any suggestions?)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Androbots:
Yes. You can flash this on any Exynos variant of the A7 2016.

You can flash gapps from https://opengapps.org/ I would highly recommend you flash the pico Android 10.0 ARM variant as it is the most light and jank free GApps package.

After you boot-up, you can download and install Google apps such as the dialer app. Make sure you set the apps like the Dialer and the Messages as the default apps in Settings -> Apps and Notifications -> Default Apps

Let me know how you feel the ROM is.

Fingerprint still not working

Hi

My fingerprint sensor is not working with this OS. Why ? Will you be fixing that in a future update

And thanks for this project man. Galaxy a7 2016 seems to be a very uncommon phone because almost no custom ROMs support it.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Androbots:
Hey, the FP sensor works just fine here. What's the problem? Which build? Can you provide logs please?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] cl.ement05:
Well it's not working on my devices (sm-a710m variant). When I open the fingerprint setup well it's like the fingerprint sensor wasn't detected (I just get stuck on the "touch sensor" screen.

I wish I could provide logs yes but how :D Using bug report ?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Androbots:
https://www.xda-developers.com/what-is-adb/ this should help. What we need here is a logcat. Once you've followed the instructions in the above guide,

type in the following when u open the fingerprint registration settings page:

adb logcat > log.log

and send that log to me
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] cl.ement05:
Thanks for the link but I know what is adb and how to use it lol. I am not (that) noob in technology.

However am sorry it looks adb is not working on my phone. Is micro g needed to have adb working ?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Androbots:
No you just need a logcat
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] cl.ement05:
Yes but if adb is not working I cannot provide a logcat...(except there is another way to get logcat ?)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Androbots:
in what way is it not working? have u turned on USB debugging? what's the output when u type adb devices
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] cl.ement05:
My phone is simply not detected (which is strange because I tested with my daily-use smartphone (ruining MIUI) and it works perfectly). So when I type adb devices the output it simply empty. So I think the problem is coming from the system/the phone itself
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Androbots:
:(:crying:
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Did you enable adb in developer options?

You also need to be in "no data transfer mode" from the pull down USB options.

Could always be a bad USB lead/connector.

You could always use matlog to dump a log, however it may not be enough.

Can you reboot to the OS twice and then dump the /proc/last_kmsg file (can be done in the TWRP file manager).

Kind regards,

Danny

Thanks for the rom but as far as I can see some friends and me the usb is not working. When we plug the USB into the computer, it is only charging and the USB configuration does not work. Do you have a fix for this or will you publish a new update?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
You need to change the USB mode to MTP in order to transfer files (from USB notification bar).
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] EypCnn:
Unfortunately, this notification does not come, only the device is charged
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
If you have usb plugged in there should be a notification. If not you have a bad lead or socket.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] EypCnn:

Thanks for your great job experience is buttery smooth but I faced two problems

1-device charges much faster than the stock rom and that causes it to heat up (used accubattery to monitor charging speeds 800-1300 mAh on average in stock. And 2300 on average in LOS17.1) is there any way to make it a bit slower to preserve the battery from the heat?

2-sound volumes tend to be lower than the stock rom

If these 2 problems were solved, hands down it's the best rom ever

But I've encountered a couple of problems.

1. The android setup wizard keeps crashing before finishing, but i guess that could be a g-apps issue

2. The messaging app's "Pop on screen" or notification banner setting seems to have been turned off and disabled/grayed out.

Hi, When I tried to update LOS from previous nightly to latest from settings, it downloaded and when restarted it says custom binary blocked from FRP lock.

Please have a note at it and let know so that we can directly update from settings.

Thank you.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Androbots:
I am not sure how something like that could happen. I have been updating using the updater app ever since we went official and none of em have triggered FRP. Try clean flashing the latest update and then let me know how an update from that, goes.

Thanks for trying out.

Try using Google Messages from the Play Store. Make sure you change your default SMS app to Google Messages after disabling Lineage Messaging app. About the setup wizard crash, I haven't faced it personally, and yes it is very much an openGApps issue there is nothing I can do about it.

It should.

The only way to charge slowly would be to use a less wattage adapter. You cannot change any current values on the device, yourself. I can probably look into the low volume issue.

Thank you for using this ☺

Hello & thanks for the great work of reviving our old A7 2016.

Concerning the new releases, i found some Lineage recovery files on the page & am wondering whether its like the other custom recovery imgs like Twrp, so if that is true, that means it replaces the Twrp.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] baabafadil:
Thanks Dev.

Just flashed it this morning & so far all good.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Androbots:
Thank you for the elaborate review. About some of the basic stuff at the very beginning:

1. Miracast issues won’t be fixed because as you said AOSP dropped support for it and we don’t plan on bringing deprecated code back.

2. Volume steps won’t be changed they’ll remain at 15.

3. 4. I’ll check on this

5. https://xdaforums.com/t/official-a7xelte-sm-a710f-lineage-os-17-1-for-a7-2016.4088187/post-83748661 If you’ve been reading the thread you’ll see that MTP and ADB work just fine for me (both simultaneously working)

6. I am fairly certain this is not supported because of the outdated hardware.

For all other device/kernel tree related issues I’d like for you to open a pull request in my personal git or push them as patchsets to https://review.lineageos.org.

And finally, 5GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi is supported out of the box as I use it every day.

Having display on/off issues with the latest update. In the previous one the screen was glitching when on idle or when connected to usb. On this one, the screen glitches when trying to turn the screen on. Also happens during calls when it triggers the proximity sensor. Pressing the power button multiple times does no effect but then on its own mind it decides to turn on, on a random press.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Androbots:
I am pretty sure you can't just flash this on another device no matter how similar the devices are. We even have checks within the flashable script that will stop you from doing that. Why don't you two reference the device trees we have for a*xelte and figure something out?

Check Samfw.com

I think I have noticed this, but I am not sure what causes mostly because it happens next to never on my side.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] impasta:
Hello,

For the charging problem (problem #1), you can try to disable fast charging. I read about this at some Gerrit review.

You could do this using adb in root mode (enable "Rooted debugging" in Developer options, first).

Start by running the line below then

re-plug the phone charger

. That's all.

This resets after a reboot.

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

I don't know what afc stands for (adaptive fast charging, I suppose?) but with this disabled, the maximum current it can draw is about 1.7 Amps (at least in A710Y/DS). On the other hand if enabled, I can observe the phone drawing 2.5 to 2.6 Amps max.

In my experience, this phone's fast charging (even the normal charging) is problematic. It causes the phone to heat up past 40 degrees centigrade and helps its battery to swell faster. I think I need a heatsink for this.
