This ROM really need a update Wi-Fi always disconnecting issues
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] lhedb:
can confirm, also have wifi issue, with random d/c and wont connect

and camera issues. crashing
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Kamardroid:
This is a very good ROM but it random reboot sometime and the WiFi also disconnect am just keeping my fingers crossed hoping the developer for this ROM can fix it in the next build please
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] jalilwarraich:
please support s6 edge plus

Hi, I have built my crDroid 6 and 7 ROMs based off the lineage 18.1 source on Exynos7420. You need to edit android_build_soong in order to get it to build properly

Comparing LineageOS:lineage-17.1...universal7420:lineage-17.1 · LineageOS/android_build_soong

Contribute to LineageOS/android_build_soong development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

this should allow the build to succeed.

Hope this helps.

Hi manoan, what's the progress with Lineage OS 19? Also, I appreciate your effort to keep this device alive!!!! You seriously have no idea how grateful I am, i owe you......Thank You so muchhhhh!!!!! <3
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
I am not working on anything for the S6 due to hardware problems. No one else is contributing sadly, so the project is effectively dead
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Dove Vee:
Some people say that the battery is alright, some say it's bad and the phone is overheating. I seem to have those issues and the wifi keeps disconnecting. Any way to fix them? I also had those problems but on a lesser extent with stock rom. Should I revert back or try older lineage os versions?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
Wait.....there is already Lineage OS 18 made for the S6/S6 Edge....Then why?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
ahhhhh :(. i still appreciate your effort
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fwiep:
Personally, I like to use ROMs that either get regular (say monthly) updates from their maintainers, or can be built by me to get the monthly patches in there. Seeing the last build from this ROM was in February 2022, I tried to build it myself. And failed.

@fakemanoan 's advice got me through the first troubles (thanks!), but then the builds failed further down the road on several issues; a libcamera dependency of libstagefright and others. As I don't even own an S6, and this project would be pure goodwill for a friend who does, I decided to... let's say postpone working any further on it.

I'm not a ROM developer, just a human buildbot who likes to extend a device's lifespan a couple of years by installing LineageOS if it's available for that device. If the complete roomservice.xml for the 21-02-2022 build could be made available, perhaps I could try again. @enesuzun2002 would that be possible?

Thanks and kind regards,

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
It has been a while since I tried building for LOS 18, but crDroid 7 built for me fine last month on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

This is what I based my work on : https://github.com/Exynos7420/local_manifests/tree/44fabe94c3e2ac1f6674fa691cb7aef10cb54709, because he switched to an older incomplete kernel in later versions. Along with the patch to build_soong, it should allow the build to complete.

This is my version here: https://github.com/fakemanoan/local_manifests. I fixed a couple of bugs and added ZRAM with my limited knowledge. The repos are kind of a mess but they build and work fine to my knowledge. Haven't built it in a while so it may fail, I'll have to check later.

I have working builds for S6 and edge variants https://github.com/fakemanoan/CrDroid-Releases/releases/tag/release here if you want to use something in the meantime, and day to day it seems to work fine, no major issues reported from anyone.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fwiep:
Thank you very much for all this info and your work. Starting from scratch with a roomservice.xml pointing to your repos, and the patch to Soong, the build succeeded without any errors, warnings or complaints.

As stated before, I don't even own an S6 device; the one I would be building for is more than 200 km from here. Baking the ROM was more a learning experience for me - especially the patch to Soong. If I do cross the S6 in the near future, I'll probably install it.

For now, this is my LineageOS 18.1 build, if anyone's interested and would like to test:

- lineage-18.1-20230113-UNOFFICIAL-zerofltexx.zip

- lineage-18.1-20230113-UNOFFICIAL-zerofltexx.zip.sha256sum

- lineage-18.1-20230113-UNOFFICIAL-zerofltexx.zip.sha256sum.asc

Update - updated with January 2023 security patches. Previous download(s) removed.

Update - updated sources with several fixes by @fakemanoan , now located at github.com/samsungexynos7420/.

Update - Since the 2022-10-23 build, there is an OTA updater included in this ROM. It asks my download server for an updated build - just like in the official LineageOS. Don't forget to set it to check every month. It will download and install automatically; make sure you have a compatible recovery installed (preferably TWRP).

Possible bug(s) - Audio transfer via Bluetooth does not work? (see this post). Please test and report. Does this affect anyone else?

Thank you, see you next month.

am going to try this ROM soon get back to you
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Kamardroid:
I'm using your lineage OS 18.1 ROM to me it's much better than crdroid hope you continue to update it and make it much better really love your work thanks again for keeping the s6 a live
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fwiep:
I do plan to keep it updated, as long as LineageOS supports Android 11. I'll remove the previous build(s) and upload the new one in its place.

I will not be able to "make it much better"; I don't have the skills or experience to hack into kernels or tweak Android internee. I'm not a core developer, just a human buildbot.

@fakemanoan made this build possible, so all thanks go out to him :).

Kind regards and see you next month,

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fwiep:
Which ROM did you use before? Was it a recent crDroid? Then there shouldn't be any difference in battery usage; the builds are based on the same kernel, device and vendor trees.

@Kamardroid , are you noticing any battery issues with my build?

Thanks,

FWieP
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] adelbouzi:
i was using LineageOS 16 the batter is good with it and as i know the kernel of LineageOS 18 is diffrent also if i open the camera in another app snapchat some filters is lagging

also the quality of the camera is bad also do u think there is way to make the room support battery of S7s with 3600 mha ?

What I'm doing wrong? I tried this ROM, crdroid, and dotos and all of them refuse to boot, I either get stuck in the boot animation 4ever or get thrown back to the recovery.

Latest stock ROM

Latest official TWRP release

SM-G920F

Flash TWRP > reboot into TWRP > format data > reboot into TWRP > wipe data, system, cache, internal storage > transfer rom file to the phone > flash the file using TWRP > reboot into system > get stuck in boot animation for 3 minutes and 14 seconds then the phone reboots automatically into TWRP

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Manne36:
Hallo ich habe beide Versionen benutzt, crDroid sowie Lineage 18.1.

Ich muss sagen crDroid gefällt mir besser ich habe mehrere Smartphones Samsung & Xiaomi .crDroid OS waren schon immer meine Favoriten. Auch um es kurz zu machen auf meinem Samsung S6 läuft es bis jetzt gut ebenfalls schon länger auf einem Samsung S4.

In der Testzeit haben sich keine Probs ergeben, die Akkulaufzeit ist gut und war mit crDroid immer zufriedenstellend.

Ich würde mich freuen, wenn die crDroid-Version weitergeführt würde.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] lhedb:
hello, will this update the last version if installed or will it overwrite an old install? thanks
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fwiep:
This is my first LineageOS 18.1 build for the S6, so there is no 'update' scenario, yet.

If you have a previous LineageOS 18.1 build on the device, dirty flashing this *might* work, but there's no guarantee that no data will be lost, or even that everything works as expected.

My advice: make a backup of your phone, verify the backup, then perform a clean flash.

Next month, you can dirty flash that new build over this one, no problem.

Kind regards,

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Frontroid:
Hello,

this is my first post/comment here.

I've installed the versione Lineage 18.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S6 but I've the SELinux not active in Permissive mode and I can't force it to Enforcing. It also says "this build is signed with public keys".

Can you help me?

I've installed it without erasing the data, maybe is it the problem?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
selinux is permissive on all recent builds and from other roms.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Frontroid:
thank you, Is that a risk for my device? So i quite the notification than.

Is that caused due It Is unoffifial?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
i think permissive is considered a security risk, and some apps may not allow you to use them with selinux permissive. i have not ran into any issues personally, but your mileage may vary.

s6 always has been permissive if im not mistaken.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Frontroid:
Is there a way to force selinux to enforcing? I've tried in su setenforce 1 but nothing and the setting in cmdline at startup selinux=enforcing. I don not understand

Update for zerolte?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fwiep:
Edit: Sorry, I misread your question. No, my builds do not run on the zerolte. At least, I have never tested them on such a device. (Actually, on no device at all, but that's another story). I leave my comment below intact, however, for future reference.

Yes, the post you quoted contains the updated links to LineageOS 18.1 with August-2022 patches.

I plan to keep that post updated with monthly patches for as long as possible.

Rather than starting my own thread, or hijacking this one, I update the post with my latest build.

Hello, this version de lineage 18.1 (base

A810F Kernel) works almost everything and the audio is better but the "hopspot" does not work in the previous version if it works, I have noticed the previous kernel works everything works on S6 g920i Any fix for this model? Or is it possible that I can flash the old kernel to this rom version? Could you help me, excuse my bad English and I hope you can answer me. Thank you​
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fwiep:
Hello!

Can you explain more clearly? Does the WiFi hotspot not work in my build? Can anyone else confirm this?

It is probably possible to flash another kernel into an installed ROM, but I have never done so - and have no idea whether it would work as expected. A kernel is a delicate thing to tinker with; I don't have the skills to do that.

As far as I know, my build is specifically for the SM-G920F, not G920I. You can try, but there's no guarantee.

I wish you good luck,

FWieP
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Anya Forger:
Yes, wifi hopspot no works in you build S6 g920i

Olds build, with Olds kernel

Work fine wifi hopspot in S6 g920i

I can kernel A8F change for kernel 3.10.108-Hyper-Perf-flx ?

Oh could you release a separate version still using that kernel? 3.10.108-Hyper-Perf-flx.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Anya Forger:
I can also share my experience testing that build with that kernel

3.10.108-Hyper-Perf-flx

#6 Sat Feb 5 07:48:36 UTC 2022

in S6 g920i, it's very stable more than any other rom in fact I'm surprised it's unoffcial It has an experience that feels almost like it's an official rom

It would only be missing to add the audio improvements of your new build samsung effects and it could be posted as an official lineage rom of s6 g920i And the small corrections and small updates that you think are necessary and that you do over time

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fwiep:
I cannot find the kernel you specify anywhere on XDA or Github. Can you point me to the kernel tree sources?

Do I understand correctly, that you would like that kernel, but with some Samsung- and audio-stuff added? Which stuff would that be exactly?

I am willing to build LineageOS 18.1 for zerofltexx each month, but I have to know what to build (which is where I ask your help); and how (which is one of my personal challenges).

Kind regards,

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
https://github.com/Exynos7420/android_kernel_samsung_exynos7420 this on 18.1-zero-source i think is the kernel he is referring to? havent attempted to build or test it.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
The exynos7420 lineage-18.1-zero-source builds and boots fine. It is based upon G920F source and not A810F source and has a few modifications too. No idea if it is better but it's another option.

Also i'm adding some of the stuff i did in 19.1 in the 18.1 repos, so the keydisabler should work now.

WiFi hotspot work but Bluetooth the sound come from the phone not the earpads if u can fix it i will use your build and thanks you
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Anya Forger:
I think that is the kernel, here I leave you the capture, that kernel works much better than the A8F, it is very stable. In other versions of lineage and other roms I had not seen something so stable, I was already almost frustrated that there is no official build for the s6, but that could change, this is close to seem official

One suggestion is to add the samsung efect audio, so that good audio quality is also heard, especially in whatshapp and when sending voice notes, (optional if possible, it would be perfect if there is a way to add a samsung dolby atmos, perhaps the note8 can be used or some other samsung model) and additionally add the samsung font, it is very elegant and visually attractive, more than one user will miss it a lot and the more samsung things that can be rescued it would be much better, it is difficult for many users to have to give up the attractive layer of samsung. I personally also tried the fyod 5.1 rom, it was beautiful visually and with oneui launcher, however the bugs that outperform other roms are scary. I understand that lineage os is based on aosp but at least with adding the samsung fonts it will be beautiful.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
Uhhh....If you want to use Samsung Fonts in AOSP ROM's, You can just a flash a magisk module and call it a day.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Anya Forger:
I think it would be better if they add it naturally. Still, could you share the link? I would appreciate. I haven't been successful in a functional module for a long time.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] zagzag99:
Same question about 12.1. Not that I've had 50% drain in an hour (unless it's actively used) but right now on 11 version I see 50% lose at about 6 hours (mostly standby)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fwiep:
Sorry, I don't have a device to test my builds. I cannot confirm nor deny. Can anyone who has, please report?

I don't know. During installation, the updater-script checks for and supports the following devices only:

zeroflte

zerofltexx

zeroflteskt

Is the Canadian version's codename among this trio?

Kind regards,

FWieP
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
canadian versions are zerofltecan i believe. sprint versions are zerofltespr. they arent supported afaik. maybe in the future they can be. i dont think they are drastically different looking at older device trees that support them.

regarding the battery life, he posted on every lineage os thread that his battery life was bad. i can say personally that 17.1 had excellent battery life because i used it as a daily driver, so its his battery needs replacing. when i was using 18.1 on my device i didnt notice bad battery life either.

if you can post some BetteryBatteryStats logs it might bring some insight into what the problem is, because 8.5%/hr is a bit extreme for standby, it should be around 0.2-0.7%/hr for a good battery.

The somewhat better thing with 17.1 is that it's being maintained, updated with security patches, unlike 18.1.

Here's the battery stats on 17.1 you can see it's not great. A lot of time it's not deep sleeping and even then the drain is quite dramatic.

Hello all,

Posting to the tail of the thread is no problem. Consider it done :).

@enesuzun2002: would it be possible to add my builds to the OP?

Then to the actual reason for posting: I have added LineageOS's OTA Updater to the ROM. It can check my download server for an updated build (see Settings / System / Updater). When a compatible recovery is installed (a recent TWRP), the device can download the new build and install it automatically.

Hello everyone ...

A few days ago I switched my entire LineageOS build tree to version 18.1.

And I've also already created an updated build for the Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925F (zeroltexx) using the sources mentioned above:

<< Deleted according to XDA forums rules... >>

I own such a device myself, and so I can test my builds.

And this first attempt is working great!

I'm looking forward to your feedback.

And I would like to create monthly updated LineageOS 18.1 builds for the Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925F (zeroltexx).

Have a lot of fun!

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fwiep:
As far as I know, the ROMs I build are for the G920F only. zerolte is the G925F. In the sources I use (by @fakemanoan) , the compatible devices are defined. I can add zerolte, but I don't know whether the build would actually run on your device.

@fakemanoan, could you shed some light on this?

Thanks and kind regards,

FWieP
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
Hi

Currently I am redoing the device tree due to some issues I have found with it. The zerolte, aka G925, source is not updated unfortunately.

If you want to build it now, cloning the current zerofltexx tree and renaming all zerofltexx references to zeroltexx will produce working builds.

I am working on it right now, and if everything goes well, it should be updated within a week with some nice additions/fixes also.
