August builds are up, Nothing major just security updates for 19.1, 18.1 builds are compiling right now and 20.0 builds will be out in few days when LineageOS changes for August ASB get to gerrit.

Huge thanks to everyone who supported this project and helped cover the build server cost with donations.

Without them this project wouldnt still be running few years after i started few years ago

As im curently on vacation i might be a bit slower to respond to threads so if you need any assistance please tag me

Enjoy new builds and stay safe
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] RoqueNE:
Is there a update about selinux? The ROM is fantastic in general, but that selinux does not work makes me feel quite uneasy.

Edit1

And that the safetynet test fails of course causes problems for e.g. banking apps.

So you are forced to root and use 3 magisk modules to get it to work. It's not _that_ big of a deal but having to run some rather hacky modules with root rights just to get some apps to work feels weird..

Edit2

A day later and i noticed a problem. File transfer over USB via mtp is extremely slow and unstable. e.g. i try to restore old whatsapp media files (~1000 files) and it takes forever and kills the connection after roughly 30-50% with a "cannot write to file" error (using Linux).

however, moving the files via 'adb push' works like a charm and only takes a couple of seconds. i will try to get more infos / logs and post later a error report.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] zezinho7:
Hi, good that lineage OS with encryption is available with this Rom.

i installed it 1 jour ago and what i noticed and want to mention here:

- after restart/Boot the system hangs for 15-20 seconds no input possible

- selinux Warning from trust, selinux should be fixed - it could be really reall dangerous to use the system without it

- live display is not working - not good for our eyes, especially if u usw the phone in the evening

That were the issues i saw up till now.

Besides this, good that this Rom exists, but the 3 issues above should really be adressed if possible - otherwise this is not a secure daily driver

As mentioned here in the post of the thread 'LineageOS 20.0 (Android 13) [Signature Spoofing][OTA updates] for S8/S8+/Note8' https://xdaforums.com/t/lineageos-2...updates-for-s8-s8-note8.4485525/post-88978721 this is fixed bei Google TTS. 😊
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ivan_Meler:
September builds are out, You can get them from this thread of via OTA update.

18.1 and 20.0 builds will be out next week hopefully.

As you might also know Android 14 release is nearing, from what i know so far it will require more BPF backports to kernel but it should be doable.

So s8/n8 will live to see yet another android version, other than that there shouldnt be major changes needed.

As always huge thanks to everyone who supported this project, Helped cover the build server cost and got me coffee.

Enjoy new builds and stay safe
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Eric80:
thanks a lot for the amazing work here.

Just wondering: what prevent the build to become official ?

I recently setup an old Samsung S8 to my GF, with a factory reset on the stock rom, on android 9 that she will use as main daily smartphone.

I hesitated to put directly Android 12 with this ROM, but the 'unoffcial' tag and some comments regarding audio refrained me to flash the S8.

Any plan to get the ROM as official supported device from LineageOS?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] vaxu:
@Ivan_Meler

In Germany we had a emergency notification test today. Normaly I have should receive an emergency notification like this, but I didn't.

Any idea, why this doesn't work with that ROM? Today I was on a conference any all phones near by me reacted to this test.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] RoqueNE:
I can confirm the problem with the emergency notification. i had at that time catlog open and saw something with "permission denied" for the broadcast service or CellBroadcastReceiver?. Unfortunately I did not have the presence of mind to save it. But it looks like the system received the broadcast but was not allowed to display it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] zohar_ml:
I’m having a strange FRP lock issue with this ROM/phone and a children account.

My daughter’s phone broke, so I used an old S8 as a replacement. Installation of this ROM was easy and fast. But when I got to the step of logging into a google children account (which installs the family link), the process gets stuck in the middle.

The main issue is that somewhere along this process the FRP is set back to ON!

There is no options in the Developer options menu to set it back to Off.

So on the first reboot, the phone gets stuck and would go into a boot loop.

I did way too many rounds of installing the Samsung original rom, installing over it the latest LineageOS, trying to login into my daughter account in different ways, and finding that the FRP is back on, and starting it all over again.

I ended with setting the phone with a new, none children, google account, but I really miss the option to limit my daughters TikTok screen time….

Any Idea how to over come this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Rhubarbzed:
Amazing ROM, works like a charm :)

But two things:

Tried to enable encryption but it ended up corrupting my /data partition without errors during encryption

SElinux being broken, if you fixed it it would be great for safetynet and general privacy and security

Otherwise great job!

No bugs I found of (maybe the livedisplay not working) and smooth operation.

Thanks for this ROM :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Daniel FB:
Has anyone succeeded in running Samsung Health?

I have installed Samsung Health, Samsung Health services as some suggested, and hidden root with Magisk, but no luck so far.

It keeps asking for the user and password again and again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] imacleod:
Were the Bluetooth LE connectivity updates in LOS20 ever incorporated here? I guess not because I'm still not able to use my BTLE headset for calls. What's preventing this issue from being fixed here if it's been fixed in other versions?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] dthang:
Can anyone tell me if LOS19 has working SELinux? I have installed version 20 and since SELinux is off, my bank app does not work
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Refayatul:
There is

Alphadroid has se linux. But due to that only one sim will work. Lineage doesn't have se linux
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] gnikolson:
Only official lineage os use se Linux.

Your bank app needs Play Integrity/SafetyNet fix. I am 99% sure this is your problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] mariocapusso71:
This ROM is gorgeous. Too bad you can't use the SD as an internal archive in the ROM with Android 13... or rather there isn't this option. Does anyone confirm this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] imacleod:
I've given up on my S8, tired of of waiting for BT LE to be fixed, or any indication whether it was being looked at/ever likely to be addressed. I bought a A53 5G and am really happy with it and being able to use all apps and my headset without messing around. The S8 is in the drawer as a backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Agairty3:
well this ROM had served me so well but my Telco Vodafone has shut down 2g and 3g and now only 4g is left. VoLTE (voice over 4g) is non existent for Samsung AOSP based roms. Extremely dissatisfied with stick roms. I miss Lineage . Fml!

As of my last update, the availability of LineageOS 19.1 for Exynos 8895 devices may vary depending on community development efforts and device maintainer support. alljobsforyou.co.in You can check the official LineageOS website or community forums for updates on whether there are any unofficial builds or development progress for LineageOS 19.1 on Exynos 8895 devices. Additionally, you may find resources and discussions on XDA Developers forums or other Android development communities.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] emaayan:
i'm thinking about trying to install lineageOS on my S8, but one thing i'm interested to know is if it supports the keyboard cover (for those of you who don't know it's https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/mobile-accessories/phones/galaxy-s8-keyboard-cover--black-ej-cg950bbegww/ , and is essential as my daily driver)

it also requires Samsung keyboard app version 3 for software support, i'm asking because one of my s8, was boot locked and not for my country, so i couldn't even install any rom on to it, and keyboard cover wasn't detected.

are there any other major issues i should know about ? i understand bluetooth isn't supported.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] gabriolinari:
hello @Ivan_Meler

I have an audio issue with bluetooth in my car. Seems to be a common one.

Audio works with music but not with calls.

The phone pairs with the car and dials numbers , but there is no audio, just crackling noises. Is this a known issue? Are there any fixes possible?

Thank you 🙏
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ivan_Meler:
sounds like wrong firmware is getting loaded for bt, ill look into it.

update for everyone else

i spent past few days updating my infrastucture to support automated build signing so it will be easier to pass play integritybon upcoming builds
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] gabriolinari:
thank you @Ivan_Meler for all your work.

Doing my own research, i came across these - so this happened before for other people:

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_samsung_klte-common/+/177996

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_hardware_samsung/+/240348

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_samsung_klte-common/+/178371

https://xdaforums.com/t/kb-article-troubleshooting-bluetooth-issues-on-lineageos-14-devices.3646969/ -> this was about Lineage 14 and my case would be the case 3.

3) The phone connects, media working, but in-call sound is completely garbled or muted on both ends

And by the way, also the "APPS" option to connect in BT doesn't work as previously. So that's calls and the "apps" mode as well.

thanks again,

Gabrio
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] gabriolinari:
hi @Ivan_Meler hope you're well

I know this is only a side project.... is the BT issue complex to fix so we can use the phone in the car for calls as well? Also apps in the car are no longer connecting - i used to have APPS as well. (i think is related)

I sent you some links in the previous message, they are sort of telling how to fix i think? It's lineage devs?

thank you 🙏
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] gabriolinari:
In case it can help others:

For me, the latest June build breaks phone boot and phone doesn't start, i just tested it and then put back lineage-19.1-20240516-UNOFFICIAL-dreamlte.zip phone works normally now,.

Is there a way to force the lockscreen font to be Google Sans, the way it's meant to look with Pixel devices? I have font manager install Google Sans as my phone's default font, but the lockscreen just won't change. Or is this supposed to be baked into the rom itself?

Hi guys - I'm looking to flash LineageOS 19 on my Samsung S8. Just wanted to check, do I also need to install no-verity-opt-encrypt when flashing in TWRP? (I'm not planning on rooting the phone)

What is the best camera app for this ROM?

I'm using "Open Camera", and it's... well... it's fine... but far from the samsung stock camera (which I think is impossible to install). Is there a better app?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Magnuss85:
Try Footej Camera 2. I use it and it's very good. Try it and say me

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] sbappi:
Make sure you're on latest twrp 3.6
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kool3o:
No you dont need to install "no verify opt encrypt".

1. Install TWRP

2. Flash ROM

3. Flash Gapps, I used Flame Gapps (open gapps did not have android 12 version yet)

4. Install Magisk

Netflix Fix:

On my device Netflix was acting weird.

The fix:

Go into magisk modules and install "liboemcrypto disabler" then reboot.

After rebooting, open netflix and it will give an error, then close netflix and delete "liboemcrypto disabler" and reboot. Netflix should work fine after this. Although you only get SD quality.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Poojan Patel:
Netflix's SD quality is beacaue of widevine L3. Do you know any way to fix widevine L3??

@Ivan_Meler any chance of supporting encryption? I've tried to encrypt the phone on fresh install, but it ends up in a boot loop.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ivan_Meler:
yeah likely will fix it in one of future updates i didnt have time to test it earlier as its real inconvenience to do so while a lot of other stuff was in development
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Carlosmosi:
Hi, thanks for the rom. Everything is fine, but I noticed that "mobile network stanby" drains lot of battery if you are with no wifi. (I think it is a bug of Android 12, but I'm not sure). The other thing is that games like Clash Royale drains a lot of battery too.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] minhngao06:
I see the updated version of Los 19 in 20211221 1. Multitasking is not good 2. Performance is not very stable 3. Wifi is poor, automatic shutdown error 4. Many times the application crashes 5. Effects, gestures are not smooth 6. Turn on display bar always brightness to get startup and delay 7. Need more AOD
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] teohub:
I am on the latest lineage-19.0-20211221-UNOFFICIAL-dreamlte.zip.

For me a good ROM.

Thanks for this.

The only thing I noticed:

When calling via speakerphone, the called has very bad sound. Choppy and noisy. The sound with me is flawless. If you turn off the speaker and make normal calls, everything is fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] poto4ever:
Hi everyone.

I am also using the latest version available, but I have a problem with notifications often not arriving. The only way to get notifications is to switch to airplane mode and then exit it, so that notifications arrive all at once. Both in wifi and LTE.

Anyone have the same problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] SkyRunner625:
I also have this problem. It could be because of Gapps but I am not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] beko136:
Hey,

I tried flashing LOS 19 onto my Galaxy S8 Dual (SM-G950FD) and everything worked well, except phone functionality. When there were two SIMs in the tray, the phone just told me something like “service not available”, the signal icons contained an “x” and no phone, SMS or mobile data were available. When there was only one SIM in the tray, all worked well. The phone asked for PIN codes in a normal way, carrier networks are available and at good signal strength.

I experienced the same phenomenon using LOS 18.1. Each time I did a complete TWRP based wipe and started from scratch.

Using LOS 17.1, which was my daily driver, all is well. After many attempts with LOS 18.1 and LOS 19 I reverted to LOS 17.1 and now phone, SMS and mobile data are working again. Does anybody of you know about that issue?

Is anybody able to test dual SIM functionality in LOS 18.1 and LOS 19? I would be very grateful to get one of these ROMs working for my daily business.

Best regards
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kool3o:

Works great on my dream2lte g955fd, only problem I have (which I'm not sure if it's bug or me not knowing what I'm doing) is that I can't find the OEM lock/unlock option in Developer options despite showing up in the search menu! And clicking it just takes you to the Developer options.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ahuukah:
Hello and happy new year!!

First of all thanks for all the hard work you've been doing these months. It's really great to see people working to keep alive the (not-so-)old phones most of us have.

1) Have you considered open-sourcing the rest of the code? A github page would benifit you as well, given that we can contribute either directly, or by creating issues to report bugs.

2) Also, since you've been maintaining this project for several phones lately, why is it not listed on https://lineageos.org/ ?

It would really help spread the word and help development.

3) Can you give a definitive answer to the SELinux status of the ROM? Permissive SELinux is a HUGE security risk. People can use exploits to gain ROOT access and do basically anything on your device.

BTW I've made an Odin AP (download mode) compatible version of OrangeFox 11.1 for dream2lte (s8 plus) for anyone who got stuck on TWRP 3.6.0 splash screen. The one you download from OrangeFox website requires a working custom recovery (Like TWRP) to flash and I've learned it the hard way.
