First of all, thanks for the developers for the hard work!

Anybody using the latest version that can tell how that is going?

The link for the Disable_forcedencryption patch is also broken. Anybody have the working copy?

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] joaofl:
Just gave it a go myself. Really happy with it so far, along with the latest NikGapps. Nothing to complain so far. The other way around, it seems to work better than the GSI lineage I was running before. Battery seems to last longer as well. Let's see how it goes in the longer run!
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Charlie Cooper:
Where's the latest build link?
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lenny Bard:
Go here , click on "assets" and search for a build with "a40" in it's name ;)
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Charlie Cooper:
thanks but doesn't seem to work on my A40. Just throws 'error 4' from TWRP (or a number close to that from memory) and doesn't progress with any install.
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lenny Bard:
Maybe Error 7 ? You're sure you took the right one ? This one work on my A40.
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Charlie Cooper:
Doh! I didn't read your earlier post right and assumed they were all for the a40! Thanks haha!
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Charlie Cooper:
OK so I've tried this after trying another ROM on this forum called 'Potato OS/ASOP'.

- LinageOS boots quicker.

- Phone proximity/camera sensor works for phone calls (the other one didn't).

- LinageOS takes less RAM. Phone uses 1.7GB at idle Potato takes up 2.1GB at idle.

This is gonna be my new daily driver! Thanks so much for posting and updating these (and thanks to Lenny Bard for making it a bit easier to find the latest version of LinageOS for the A40 :)
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] joaofl:
I have been using the latest build, but I am having some issues:

- The phone behaves weirdly when charging. Sometimes unresponsive to buttons push, touch... Have to unplug it and reboot it to get it back working.

- Sometimes the wifi will disconnect, and will fail to connect back to any wifi. A reboot fixes it.

Anybody else?
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Charlie Cooper:
Try resetting it to Factory Defaults (from inside the LinageOS). Otherwise I haven't had that issue.
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Charlie Cooper:
I'm not seeing any contacts from my Google Account. Anyone else have this issue? Is everyone using NikGapps with this?

EDIT (I found the answer):

I found how to fix missing contacts. This fix is descripted in the FAQ (i'm including the link as other fixes you are likely to run into are included here)

FAQs - NikGapps

NikGapps Website

nikgapps.com
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] joaofl:
I do use NikGapps, but never missed my contacts, but neither I use Google Contacts.

But when you factory reset it, you have to reinstall everything, every time? Or how do you back it up?
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Charlie Cooper:
I have an issue with Google Maps on this with NikGApps. The GPS part of it just doesn't work although GPS works fine in other apps. Anyone have any ideas to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lenny Bard:
Did you try with OpenGApps ? You can find their build for arm64 here ;)
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Charlie Cooper:
Thanks! This fixed itself after I tried resetting the phone to defaults (from LinageOS).

Heads up. The latest build (as of this post) called "lineage-18.1-plus-20210709_122105-UNOFFICIAL-c8a2e8a-a40" doesn't work and results in it getting stuck at boot (SAMSUNG Galaxy A40 logo screen).

All wont work. I dont even see the lineage start up thingy.

Only one that works is 18.1-plus-20210723, lineage will start, everything works. But i have NO SIM. A phone without working sim is not handy ofcourse. Any ideas to get sim or other versions working?

I'd better sell my A40 and buy another model/brand for Lineage. Recommendations?
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] joaofl:
I would not.

I installed the CRDroid, and have been really happy about it. Its officially supported, and it getting regular OTA updates just fine.

Also, the same maintainer seems to have added a Lineage OS 18.1 release to the A40, which I have not tested myself.

[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Arvindrockz79:
Hello there, this is dedicated to all my photographers and videographers of LG G8x.

First things first, no matter what how many times you complaint them the problem is not fixable through software updates because front camera have fixed focus.

So i think there is no other option than this.

Case 1: (Professional phone photographers)

Guys if you are carrying a 35mm or 50mm then mount it to the front camera and zooming 1.5x is the solution for shooting 4:3 aspect ratios and only 1.2x zoom for 9:16 or higher aspect ratios.

+ Get lot of blur or shallow depth of field.

+ Can use Canon or Nikon lenses to achieve high end quality. Plus features if your lens have OIS, UV protection etc.

- Weight is a problem.

- Zooming 1.5x makes photo to loose its quality a little bit (especially in nights).

Case 2: (Cheap solution)

This is an inexpensive solution, get yourself a wide angle lens for under 200 rupees for indians and under 2 US dollars.

Buy that 3 in one lens and use the wide angle and zoom 1.2x for 4:3 aspect ratio and 1.1x for 9:16 or higher aspect ratios.

+ Very Cheap

+ Light Weight

+ Less zoom means lesser quality reduction

- No quality lenses are used, little bit lesser color reproduction.

Buy anywhere online by typing 3 in 1 lenses for phone.

Hope this would help you out, if helps don't say thanks but help me find a solution to record 1080p 240 fps video with zooming (stock camera doesn't allow zooming in that setting)

Filmic pro is not working for slow motion .

Moment pro camera doesn't work for slow motion.

Google Camera doesn't record slow motion.

Suggest me a way to do this.

Thank you for all the patience.
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Harry@007:
why you actualy need to zoom ,just crope the video after recording done ,using a video editor.

our device didn't have an optical zoom even in photo mode if we zoom 8x it just uses its digital zoom.

you just click a pic at 8x and same pic at 1x then you crop the 1x pic to 8x then compare 8x pic vs croped pic. result will be same:fingers-crossed:

give me a like, i gave you a solution with best explanation:cool:
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Arvindrockz79:
I appreciate your idea but actually thing is when you film it with no zoom and crop it later, same results i agree. But you won't get the flexibility of knowing what exactly you ate shooting, you can't see the full sized video as a reference while shooting.

1) You barely see the depth.

2) Hard to manage White balance and Exposure.

I do need some other working apps that would support this phone zooming while filming at 1080p 240fps.

Tried many of the popular apps

Google Camera, Filmic Pro, Moment pro camera, Proshot, Hedge camera 2, (MiUi 11 Camera, Oneplus Camera- Stock).
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Harry@007:

You can only flash Roms with the same or higher bootloader version, that is what you need to check before attempting to flash what you intend to

Its not something you should do by any means....if you want to flash firmware then back up is essential.... But restoring or modification of your IMEI is not supported in fact i believe its prohibited

[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] tze_vitamin:
Nothing will change if you just reload it ,you will bring back the same setting as you have.

The best way is to use the phone without sim card. If you dont want to be found or have problem if you found that phone.

But ,this is also illegal so there is a hard way that you will found how to do this.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashsh2016:
Hello guys, I have a problem with my Galaxy Note 3 phone. Touch no longer works well. When I touch the phone, it does not respond at the same moment. It responds about two seconds later. The matter itself is with the touch buttons, the volume up and down button, the power button and the home button, the touch is a press extended on the screen, the problem I only face it in the operating system, but when I close the phone and go to the menu through which we format the phone, the volume up and down button and the power button are working normally. I temporarily solved the problem by installing another operating system, but after a week the problem returned again

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Salty Wagyu:
New phone arrived last night and was working before I went to bed, but I couldn't turn on the screen in the morning. I thought the battery was drained but after holding power button it started booting back up with 96% battery left.

Then it happened again at lunchtime, phone was off with no warning/reason. I have done very little to the device, so far it's only restored apps from a google cloud backup during Setup. Have not opened any apps yet other than 1 or 2.

a few hours ago I ran a factory reset and set up the phone again, logged in google account and did not restore any backups. I left the phone alone for a while and picked it up just now to find it has shut off.

Anything else I can try or do I have a defective device?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] jaseman:
The phone has the ability to shut itself off on a schedule...I use it to turn it on in the morning, and to shut it down at night...saves the wear and tear on the power button. Make sure you don't have this feature turned on somehow...

well bud, i can see this would be a great app during roaming but from what i can see it only disables the connection and does not allow me to select 3g only or possibly "3g preferred" type of a option. i mean i get a good 3g connection and don't really understand why it switches to edge. when i open up google maps the "my location" switch when i change to edge to one side of the town and 3g i am on the other side of town but both 1700m shades over lap right on house. i am just asking is there i a way i can connect just to the tower on " 1st&foo st and not the tower that is on 10th st&foo st"
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pazookie:
did you try the band page in the phone options (hit call button then right softkey then options then band page) and select WCDMA instead of Auto in the first drop down box? That forces 3g and doesnt allow edge
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pazookie:
im kinda in the same boat when im at my pc it always used to switch between edge and 3g (2 bars too) so i just did that and yah sometimes i dont get any service where i would get an edge connection but its worth it because i download alot and alot of places like rapidshare if your downloading and it switches from 2g to 3g or vice versa your connection is broken and the dl stops and cant be resumes because of the slotted dloads for free users so it works for me
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] xela19115:
Phone: S20 5G Snapdragon (SM-G981U1)

Software: US OneUI 3.0 Beta 2 (Build RP1A.200720.012.G981U1EU1ZTJG).

Carrier: Mint Mobile (T-Mobile US MVNO).

Here is what I noticed.

When I am driving, I use Android Auto and when I used Beta 1, for the most part I saw a 5G icon (where 5G is available) on the phone and on the display on the AA.

Now, after Beta 2 update, when the phone's screen is on, then the 5G icon is on the AA display as well as the phone. Once the display screen times out and goes dark (while the phone is still working) the AA display goes from 5G to LTE. As soon as I wake up the phone, back to the 5G.

This behavior is new and I did not see it in Beta 1. Can someone confirm this on T-Mobile US? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] xela19115:
I am starting to wander if Beta 2 doing a more aggressive power savings than Beta 1? If that's the case, how and what do I disable to keep the 5G connection from "sliding" into LTE when the screen times out?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] rayporsche:
Same story here, same device with TMO. Beta 1 was 'golden' for me but the Beta 2 is something else. I failed to understand as to how the constant LTE to 5G signal switching could help in the battery saving department, also the native email app doesn't sync properly. Aside from that is it pretty fast and much cleaner than Android 10. Totally understand that it is a Beta which could bring potential issues and such then again common sense dictates that progress should be defined as going forward not backwards.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] *Detection*:
Apparently the new iPhone 12 does the same, LTE must use less power than 5G, worse with the iPhone apparently it sticks to LTE the majority of the time, only switching to 5G for specific reasons
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] rayporsche:
If you dial *#2263# the device will show the 'ServiceMode' screen where you can scroll down and select the [6]NR5g Band Preference (*), press it and it will open another screen where you could choose the [2] NR NSA ONLY or [3] NR SA ONLY among others then select [A] GO MAIN which will open another screen where you can select [9]-Apply band configuration which will give you the confirmation message; APPLY DONE, reboot next.

In essence [2] NR NSA ONLY would be 'non standalone 5G' and [3] NR SA ONLY would be a 'standalone 5G'. I've tried all that with the Beta 2 yet it doesn't seem to work as it should, at this point leaving the Beta altogether is beginning to make more sense.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] xela19115:
Thanks for the tip. I put my phone into the 5G NR SA only mode and will see how that works in my neck of the woods. But I doubt that it will solve an underlying original complaint.

If system-as-root ... you have to copy your init.rc file to sone folder... add this line ro.security=0 to inside init.rc ...maje zip for flash this file via twrp with mounted system_root and will be always added at start...

I think there is a big knowledge gap between what I managed to do with magisk tutorials and what you are expecting I can do.

>> Do you have ramdisk in this kernel or is system-as-root

I don't know. It's Android 10 (phone was initially deliverd with it), Is it always the same there? If not, where can I get this information from?

I don't expect I can access /etc/fstab without root, there this may be stated.

>> If ramdisk..so add this your line ro.security=0 at the end of default.prop or prop.default file

I guess what I would have to do is something like unpack my boot.img in a Linux environment edit files and repack or recompile something?

Never don this. No idea yet. Without a good tutorial I need ages to figure out how and I have only limited time because I need this phone for my work (it's my only working phone from touchscreen age) and can't do endless fectory resets for weeks.
