I also have problems getting the notification light to work properly with FairEmail.

While yesterday I got notifications for SOME mail in one particular account, even in the desired colour, today there's nothing blinking at all.

Maybe partly my fault, because of changing settings, but maybe also Google is to blame, as they are constantly shuffling things around inbetween AOSP versions?

See this FAQ for example: https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq21

I guess 'notification channel' is somehow related?

I'll try and research some more later.

I wholeheartedly agree. Super happy here, and just made another donation to the LOS Project. :)

I was having this issue too. I just installed the latest version (1st May) and the issue seems to be fixed.

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

Not sure this relates to this ROM, Lineage generally, or Android generally, but:

I keep taking my phone out of my pocket to find the screen on. I've worked out that it's because of a gesture that turns the screen on if the home button position is touched when the screen is off. Really easy to do by accident when putting the phone in the pocket, having the hand in the pocket, or when removing the phone from the pocket. Kinda annoying.

I think this also happened in previous versions but there was a settings option to switch off this feature. Anyone know how to do that?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] droidsometimes:
There is a setting for that, it's called 'Prevent accidental wake-up', in advanced display settings.

I see it in LOS 17.1 on my Oneplus 6, but not on my S9.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mmars:
Found it. It works.

thanks for the reply.

I found the blink light settings hidden behind the bell symbol under the notification settings. So it's working now!

Does anyone happen to have a build earlier than 0420? As any build from that date onward refuses to boot.

Build kernel from scratch

I need help with building kernel outside of LineageOS build system.

I have downloaded sources from here: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_samsung_universal9810 , installed cross-compiler, configured with "make exynos9810-starlte_defconfig", build with "make". For now I have file arch/arm64/boot/Image .

How to build correct dtb and pack it with the Image file to bootable image?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] OcainD:
I succesfully instaled the rom, i'm in love but there is one thing that want to take me back to stock and it's the audio quality which is just pretty bad compared to stock rom.

Is there a way to improve the quality? Maybe a kernel or some mod i don't know but i need it becouse i don't want to go back to one ui
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] droidsometimes:
Are you using bluetooth by any chance?

Because, I've been listening to music and some videos and the audio quality is good - I used AKG headphones, connected via headphone jack, and foobar2k and VLC as players.

And my ears are a bit pampered by the equipment I normally use to listen to music (google Adam Audio speakers), so I would have noticed bad audio quality.

Also, the builtin speakers sound okay. Well, for builtin speakers anyway, with all their physical limitations.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] jamescarter117:
Hi mate.

Following your advice, I was able to recover my IMEI and use mobile network again. Atm, I'm using stock but still want to have functional LOS. Could you plz give more insights into the process? Much appreciate a step by step guide for requisition like backup.

Have a great day
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Colemanuk:
No answer seriously? I've asked twice already Not even a working OK here? Thanks a bunch guys
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] HansMampf:
Battery life

It is due to the AoD (Allways on Display).

If the AoD is deactivated, the S9 + loses about 0.5% battery per hour, if it is switched on, then a little more than 2.5% per hour.

Under Settings> Battery> Battery usage, no app is displayed that consumes power (I have no apps installed and used, otherwise they would of course be displayed, I mean it is not apparent that the AoD and or display, ... caused the power consumption), however you can see the consumption curve and can see the kink after activating the AoD.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] droidsometimes:
Glad to hear you got it fixed!

As for the step by step guide, I'm afraid I have to let you down - it's been been 1 1/2 years since I unlocked my S9, and I checked my bookmarks collection, but I found no definitive guide for the Galaxy S9 series.

But you managed to install LOS once already, which is a good sign.

Not sure why you lost the IMEI in the process though... was it a branded device by any chance, and/or some exotic carrier?

Did you wipe the wrong partitions before installing LOS?

Also, maybe the recent broken LOS builds were the reason.

IIRC the only tricky part is to install TWRP for the first time, and keep the device from booting into the stock OS afterwards.

From then on it should be fairly straightforward.

Regarding backups from within TWRP, as has been said plenty of times elsewhere: TWRP for our device won't be able to decrypt /data.

Not sure if that's going to be fixed some day, but I wouldn't count on it.

So you'll either have to live with that, or you'll have to flash a modified vendor image that disables forceencrypt.

I decided to live with it, because I want encryption, and most of the (few) additional apps I use can export their settings (or data, like .vcf for contacts), plus the data is mostly stored server side (e.g. IMAP for mails).

Plus, my personal backup strategy is: always have at least one fully set up and working spare device that I can just pop the SIM in and carry on.

Yeah I know, that strategy may not be suitable for everyone, but then again I'm probably not your average smartphone user. *shrugs*

Hi there

I'm still on last official LOS 15.1. Now I saw that starlte is official again, I wanted to upgrade. Read the whole thread here, I realize I should first install stock Android 10, then LOS. But some things are not clear to me:

Install the modified vendor to disable force encrypt, OK. But why install the different BL? What's different there?

There's some talk about not using TWRP 3.3 - why? I got 3.3 running now for LOS 15.1, not problems...

Thanx for any answers!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ghnue:
What "different" BL ? You just need the 8DTC5 BL so that android 10 can boot otherwise the 8.1 bootloader won't boot and is not compatible.

TWRP has changed its encryption support in "recent/2019" versions and is even more "broken". As long as you just use basic features like adb and commands you should be fine.

If I were you I would wait a week or more so that the build are "stable" again.

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] slarti76:
Thx, man. Sorry, you're right, I got that with the BL wrong. Still don't quite get the TWRP problem - I mean, isn't it right that encryption on S9(+) didn't work neither with TWRP 3.2 nor 3.3? To me that was always the main tradeoff of using LOS instead of (rooted) stock.

And thx for the reminder about the builds and the link. Also wasn't sure what's going on about that, but didn't want to ask, as these threads are usually full of "2020xxyy doesn't work for me, but 2020aabb does", which often meant squat. But in this case, obviously there's more to it.

Still, anyone installed 20200501 already?

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

Actually, perhaps we're talking about different things?! Do you mean "encryption of nandroid backups" or "being able to deal with encrypted data partitions"? Because to my knowledge, the latter never worked, and with encrypted backups I also always had problems. Would that improve if I went back to TWRP 3.2?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ghnue:
Always talking about encrypted partition support
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] jorgespv:
I have a problem with the system profiles. At each restart the data is erased. I create new profiles or modified the existing ones and after rebooting it stays as before.

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] slarti76:
I know dirty-flashed 17.1 (0422) over 15.1 - don't ask me the exact steps, I did need several go-arounds with installing things in different orders, but then suddenly it worked! Everything looking very smooth so far.

However, it seems I did end up with the wrong BL image, as my data partition got encrypted - and I thought I had downloaded the patched image which allows to not encrypt data, because I want to use TWRP for full Nandroid backups.

So my question:

- Can somebody point me to the correct BL image? I know, it's somewhere in this thread, but obviously I failed before...

- and can I still revert from encryption at all? Without reformatting, obviously...

One more thing:

In 15.1, there was an option for increased touch sensitivity. I always had problems with my screen protector. Now I can't find it in 17.1, which makes especially typing a pain, have to touch really hard all the time. Is that option gone?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ghnue:
The BL does not have anything to do with force-encryption. The vendor and/or the system is responsible for it. You can use a custom vendor to disable that.

To retrive your userdata, you can try doing what I did previously in the thread : boot to safe mode, dirty dump, overwrite.

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] DVC1985:
Hi, is the OTA working as intended?

When I check updates it lists my current build as 30 April 2020(which I assume is actually the 1 May version), yet when I check for updates it shows the 1 May build as available. When I download it and press install it goes through the whole update process yet when I go back to the updater it lists it again as 30 April and shows the 1 May build as available for download.

Is this right? Sorry I'm fairly new to Lineage so not sure if that is what is supposed to happen for not.

Hello,
[MENTION=3892061]DVC1985[/MENTION] Same problem here (with Lineage recovery). I'm waiting the last update to see if I'll have the same issue or not.

I also have twh other issue :

- I sync my calendar with Nextcloud, I can see my events with the "week view" but nothing with the "month view". I installed Etar calendar and no problem with it.

- My phone always reboot when I have Debug USB activated in developer options and when I connect my phone in PTP to my Ubuntu Computer (No problem with Windows ).

Does anyone have an issue with the volume sometimes? I've noticed that ringtone volume in particular is quieter than stock. I've read elsewhere that we used to be able to fix this by editing the values in the mixer_paths XML file, however that doesn't seem to exist on my device so I assume it's an obsolete file in the latest version of Android.

I also have an issue where when the speaker activates it makes a little pop noise, even if the source is muted(Instagram stories for example).

Introduction:

This is the Official Lineage OS 17.1 thread for the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, codename crownlte.

Join our Lineage Exynos 9810 Development Telegram Group!

How to Install:

Please follow the instructions on our Official LineageOS Wiki page here.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE INSTALLING LINEAGE OVER FULLY STOCK ANDROID 10 FIRMWARE

If you don't follow these instructions, please don't expect support here. We also don't support 3rd party addons (Magisk/XPosed/Dolby/Viper/etc.), so please don't seek support if you use these.

What's not working:

Applicable exceptions granted in device support requirements.

Obviously Samsung's own features such as Samsung Pay, KNOX, Theme Center, Game Launcher, etc. won't be ported to LineageOS. We may have our own implementation to similar functions, though.

Iris sensor does not work because AOSP upstream does not support that yet.

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

Notes:

Official Lineage OS builds will not pass CTS/SafetyNet -- due to the AVB flag's "red" status.

Official Lineage OS builds requires official stock unmodded android 10 firmware installed.

Official Lineage OS builds uses stock android 10 vendor so encryption is enabled by default.
