camera dont work, why?

Is possible to use 108 mpx??

I've flashed this 3x and always getting bootloader errors, I've resorted to latest stock firmware from samfirm and updated, flashed again with re-downloading the files from source and it still persists even following the instructions every time. Any suggestions?

Edit - I'm on SM-G986B
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Adamites:
I installed this with no issues and works great for me on SM-G986B but I'm having an issue, I can't move or delete any icons or widgets off my home screen. Maybe I'm just dumb but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, Long press just opens the context menu. Other than that I love this build and thanks devs!

EDIT: I also can't open the widgets menu at all, it's just not loading.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] :
From memory, on the stock launcher you have to turn off the edit switch in home > settings and it allows you to edit the home screen. Another great alternative is nova launcher

Hi @DeHuMaNiZeD !

First of all, many thanks for your work on this lineage OS version.

Just a quick question: it seems that the build downloads are offline?

everytime i click on build-link (https://exynoobs.github.io/OTA/ )and go to the Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G (y2s) page it says that there are no builds available.

So, do i miss something (or perhaps have something blocked?) or are the downloads of the builds offline?

Many thanks for the answer and help!
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] josip-k:
They are there for me, so it seems that the issue is on your end unfortunately.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Wintermute101:
Thanks for the reply.

Tried it now with a "clean" browser and they were there.

Really strange but okay.

Many many thanks for the heads-up and great work!
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Benoni1:
Hello. After installing your Lineage, I have a sound problem. He is weak, especially in Hands Free. I tried the Viper4 android in the magic, but it's the same. Either I have the wrong version of Viper4android installed, or it is set up incorrectly. Could you improve Lineage's sound in the future? Thanks. benoni1
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] josip-k:
New builds are up, there were alot of changes, please read the changelog on https://exynoobs.github.io/OTA and enjoy. :)
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] PrutserNet:
Thank you! Everything works as expected, really enjoying 120Hz and the speed of LineageOS vs Samsung stock.

The Google Maps issue is indeed there, do you have any insights to share on a possible fix?
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] PrutserNet:
Confirmed, the earpiece audio is pretty low during a call. It's not so low that we cannot hear the other side, but a 25-50% increase would be welcome... we could always turn the volue down if too loud ;)
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] seujo:
Thanks to the team.

I was going to install this new release but I have a bootloop since the firmware upgrade.

The phone was on G980FXXSCDUJ5 with lineage-18.1-20211119-UNOFFICIAL-x1s.

- I flashed 'firmware-SM-G980F-G980FXXUDFVC7' with Heimdall successfully. But at reboot I have the error message "KERNEL REV. CHECK FAIL, DEVICE:13 BINARY:12 (DTBO)" on a blue line at the top of the bootscreen. The phone is bootlooping.

- I flashed 'lineage-19.1-20220323-recovery-x1s.img' successfully

- I cannot go under the Recovery Mode (USB, Vol+ & Power) in order to flash 'lineage-19.1-20220323-UNOFFICIAL-x1s.zip'. Only the Download Mode is available.

- On attempts to flash any previous firmware versions, flashing is interrupted with the same error issued concerning DQMDBG (the first file to be sent in my command line).

= How to solve this discrepancy ?

Thank you for your help !
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] josip-k:
You should do a downgrade with full flash, persumably with Odin which is easiest. Our blobs/kernel are currently from Samsung package version XXSUDEVA9. Downgrading only with firmware we provide is not going to work.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] seujo:
So, in my case I must downgrade by full flashing a Samsung stock ROM, using Odin, with firmware version G****XXUDEVA9. And then restart the LineageOS 19.1 installation procedure.

It's important to notice that users should not upgrade their device firmware with latest version available on Linux4-firmware-udpate. And to know that for 'lineage-19.1-20220323-UNOFFICIAL-***.zip', firmware version G****XXUDEVA9 is the latest compatible one.

Hi. Great rom. Very stable too.

Any way I can install signature spoofing to be able to install microg?
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] lolailogd:
UP!

i am interested in MicroG too
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] shakeshaker:
Yup. I installed twrp flashed microg. Microg and everything works perfectly. Very stable. But no signature spoofing. Keeping it as my daily driver.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Sweak3r:
Considering trying out the rom, but it depends on what the status of the camera is. Read that it is now working, but what functions, modes and quality is missing?
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] PrutserNet:
The camera works (12MP max), wide lens and front as well, but the built-in camera app is really bare-bones. I recommend Open Camera from the play store and it will give you everything you'd want like HDR.

The pictures come out looking well, but you'd be missing out the software optimizations that Samsung have implemented in their owm camera app.

There are als GCam's out the that support Exynos, but I have not come across one that works completely.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] PrutserNet:
Up again! Signature spoofing for MicroG would be and awesome option to have here.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Ahtaler:
Can I use it in SM-G988U(Snapdragon) device?
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Frank65:
No only Exynos.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] jhr5474:
So if i am on fvc7 firmware then I cant flash this? I cant get recovery to flash
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] dreas74:
So, I have bought a S205G and I would like to install LOS19.1. With my old S9 it was easy and I hope for the S20 it is the same.

However, the questions are due to the signature spoofing. I have made the changes of the services.jar on my own and it wasn't a big deal. you can find the instructions here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/signature-spoofing-on-unsuported-android-11-r-roms.4214143/

In addition, there are other possibilities to make signature spoofing happen:

https://xdaforums.com/t/index-how-to-get-signature-spoofing-support.3557047/

So, from my point of view, it isn't necessary to have a build-in signature spoofing in the rom builds.

Dissappointed the instructions with the wrong firmware cause so much hassle.

After downloading the UK_vodaphone image to get the phone working I've lost OEM_Unlock.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Caramelion:
So just to be sure. Does this mean, that the 64MP-Cam also work? I'm thinking about buying the S20 5G. Mostley because of the high res cam. Otherwise I could use a ton of cheaper devices to for day to day use. Thanx for your effort
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] snoopy29:
Sorted after a little time on S20 4G

1. telephoto camera not working

2. sound on plug working despite being turned off

3. charge icon doesn't display when battery in text mode

Anyone managed to get a working gcam with 64MP (third telephoto lens) working?
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] pintasmapila:
There is no ROM that provides a full working camera besides the original ROM. Sad... i know.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] master373:
64 mp is only for the telephoto camera. IDK but Samsungs is messing up software side it just look terrible with lowlight. about this rom or general aosp roms:

camera will be never as great as stock rom although for me its terrible there too.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Allen2441:
Hi guys, i just fresh install lineage os and i love it soo much but i have one issue. When i start one game i love to play the screen starts to lag and my phone restarts sometimes. If anyone have a solution or maybe magisk module i will be very appreciated.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] shiv.maneyapanda:
Loving this ROM. Please keep it going :) Thank you
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] master373:
Any chance to get it official ?
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] shakeshaker:
Tried NanoDroid Patcher on this rom. Not working. Besides it's better to have microg embedded in the rom so not to mess things up. Thinking of moving to oneplus 9 pro. There is an official lemonadep microg lineageos rom since this rom seems to be abandoned.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Darkstriker:
Can someone confirm if eSIM works with this ROM?
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] vlasek321:
I need to say you Thank You many,many,many times. You have done great job with this ROM and I think you give a lot of your time in this project <3 For me is it what it should be. Who need microg or gapps? I want this OS,because I want more privacy and google can be about everything,but not privacy.

And one good idea for those,who really miss the google maps,can be mapy.cz... Wish you all good night and say one more time thank you,Mr DeHuMaNiZeD. Peace
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] pintasmapila:
So I know that the camera isn't very good on Lineage.

Can someone post pictures here to see if it's at least usable?
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] shiv.maneyapanda:
is this rom dead ?
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] ImNekoSan:
Is it possible to find the same but for the z3q?
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] pintasmapila:
Ok, so for now, this rom is working beautifully.

Got Samsung Wear working, Google Pay, banking apps. 120hz is also working... so fine, so good.

The camera is far from perfect, but where it lacks in camera quality, it compensates in battery and customization.

Waiting (hopefully) for more updates :)
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] 1Michael23:
Amazing work getting 120hz working, is a re build possible? getting a bit behind on security and lineage updates.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Benoni1:
Have a nice day. When the Camera will be as it should be. Is not working. The sound is staggering, it should be at least 30% better. Handsfree free is not heard. I think that over the years, it could be better.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] pintasmapila:
Camera is a common issue for all third-party ROMs. For now, there's nothing to do about it. But I agree. Sound quality really needs improvement.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Benoni1:
Beyond ROM Camera works fine
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] pintasmapila:
Beyond Rom is a customized stock rom, as is UnboundRom.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] felipehsouzah:
Any resource similar to the stock rom safe folder? Is the AOSP android multi-user mode possible to hide?

I need something like Xiaomi's second space or Samsung secure folder !
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] 73sydney:
Samsung secure folder only works on a non rooted Samsung phone...

[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Benoni1:

[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Benoni1:
Among other things, I would rather like the TWRP, which is official for the samsung s20 and works very well with it, to work in the next issue of Lineage os. Thank you
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Marsu42:
Could please someone clarify the status of the camera on AOSP like LOS:

Is the telephoto lens working (at all), on S20/+ and/or Ultra?

Is it possitble to shoot raw with OpenCamera (at least with the main genral wide angle lens?

Thanks!

I would like to downgrade the binary, example U5 -> U4.

Is this Rom still being maintained ?. It works awesome but could use some updates. Please keep it up 👍
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] pintasmapila:
Yeah, it could really use some updates. The volume is really bad.

I come here everyday to see if there are any updates, because I really like the rom., Even if the camera is not as good as the default rom
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] FoxhoundUnit:
İsn't there other (maintained) for example PixelOS based custom roms for S20(+) ?, I can't believe that there are so little choices for S20's when it comes to custom roms, I was using ArrowOS on my previous Xiaomi Redmi 8T, which was very stable and beautiful looking. Based on Android 12.1, I'm sad i can't find anything near that now for the S20+. I tried BeyondOS 4.5. It is really good running but i don't want the boring stock layout filled with Samsung bloatware
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] 73sydney:
Not many ROMS because in the USA whee most devs generally are, they cant unlock the bootloader on the S20 series....hence not much choice in ROMS
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] FoxhoundUnit:
Thank you for that information. Now it makes more sense indeed. I was very confused while searching search engines. I'm on this LineageOS atm and I'll stick to it and hopefully it will get more updates soon
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Peterepeat87:
Will be interesting how long it takes Devs to make a way to unlock the bootloader once the s23 is out, seeing as there won't be an exynos model...
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] master373:
Well for me personally there is no reason than to stay with samsung. I choosed samsung because of the freedom of android. Maybe its time to switch to apple
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Yanko2:
That doesn't make any sense, since the galaxy s6, s7, s8 and s10, the USA versions even being locked snapdragon versions, they have had lots of roms for exynos, just go to the exynos s10 forum and you will see that there are roms as if the forum of a oneplus, how does it explain that if the s10 from the USA is locked snapdragon?, I think that the lack of development in the s20 is due to the change in the structure of the system partition, something more complicated for the developers, there will be to see how the s23 fares with its Qualcomm global chip.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Peterepeat87:
I did that.

Bought the 13 pro max. Used it for 6 months.

Went back to my s20+.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] khbd:
Is there a guide for compiling secsetting.apk,

I have used many apktool tools to decompile and recompile, and the resulting apk is unusable.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Peterepeat87:
I think I saw something to that effect on the lineage wiki.

Edit: Oh wait, I read that wrong. I thought you meant something else. Are you trying to modify the manifest to allow the highrefreshrate natively?

I wanted to do that, but got discouraged by the signature part.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] khbd:
不要。我只是修改了一些透明度，可以反编译/重新编译。获取的apk无法使用
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Peterepeat87:
I have seen similar happen to others, perhaps check that you have all required libraries installed for compiling that apk.

Otherwise maybe is a signature problem, is selinux enforcing?

I'm not sure if this helps, but it has a breakdown of the SecSettings class...

[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Marsu42:
After being on S7 with Lineage or backported stock for some years, I switched to S20 Exy - because it's the last Galaxy flagship phone to be able to run custom firmware at all. Currently I'm running stock, not even rooted because of the update hassle.

I'm happy there is Lineage development on S20, and personally, I don't need a long list of AOSP roms that I don't use. The lack of rom development might be caused by:

1. The S20 is expensive (even used), so it's not a natural choice for devs to play around with. The Exy version has a bad reputation for using too much battery when under load. There are newer phones like A52 that are cheaper and can run custom roms, if you don't want a Phablet like S20 Ultra or the flagship features.

2. There is active support from Samsung. I guess 3rd party firmware will become more interesting after the release of Android 14 (Lineage 21), because Android 13 will be the last update for S20.

3. Even more so than on S7, you loose features with 3rd party firmware. No tele camera at all, no 104mp backside or 20mp front side camera support, I suspect cripped video (10 bit recording, 8k, ...), no Expert Raw app - next to the usual phone and audio stuff that doesn't work on AOSP.

4. OneUI is actually quite lean and functional if you take the time to disable most bloatware apps, and a lot of features that would take (battery consuming) 3rd party apps are built-in. I've seen a lot of more battery saving on my S7 stock vs. Lineage tough, and of course Lineage has great features like the built-in firewall.

5. You're still stuck with Google though as long as there is no pure MicroG firmware for S20 - I'm runnign LoS 19.1 MicroG on my S7 and it works just fine.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] EonOfBlack:
On newer flagships, you technically could try and flash GSIs, but that and a few custom kernels are all that seem to be available. Without patches, GSIs have even more features missing due to them not being built for a specific device (or it's variants) in mind.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] pintasmapila:
Unfortunately custom ROMs are faded to be more and more limited in terms of usability, even for practical everyday apps, like banking apps, or just default OEM apps, like Samsung's own cameras, fitness apps, etc. And even more so on rooted phones, or just unlocked bootloaders for that matter.

And laws like GDPR, which were (theoretically) supposed to help us users, just made our options more limited and made manufacturers to tighten what they like to call "security". Basically it serves no purpose but for governments to apply fines to manufacturers, but i digress...

Lineage battery usage is really good on my S20 4G exynos, and one thing that drived me crazy, which was the heating on stock rom, is gone. There are some audio issues, and of course, the camera, but Lineage 19 is sooo good on S20... OneUI has it's advantages, but wth don't they update the notifications quick settings?! It's ridiculous, really.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Marsu42:
I have no issue with a manufacturer or Google adhering to data protection standards, tighening security to give users peace of mind or enable secure banking or payments - after all, Android is competing with the much more locked-down iOS.

What I don't consider flagship behaviour is how Samsung choses not so enable apis or source code builds for core features of their phones like Camera for 3rd party firmware - after all, they are enabling an unlocked bootloader (ok, this enables root). They even take back features, like front camera raw support.

This seems just like grabbing money and planned obsolescence because it's impractical for users to extend their software support through 3rd party firmware. Well, on cheap dot ink printers you'd expect there's some catch, but not on an expensive flagship phone.

Alas, I'm really attached to the 10-bit uhd recording and 40mp front camera by now, a bit less so to the 104mp shooter (overprocessed, 8-bit jpeg only), much less so to the tele camera (jpeg, way overprocessed for >5x zoom, but handy for 2-4x).

So I hope some devs will stay on S20 until Android 14+ is out, and/or I've gotten yet another phone and will downgrade my S20 to backup phone. The 3rd party firmware is bound to save battery - even though on my phone the camera apps use the most power and that probably won't change.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] Peterepeat87:
Totally agree, with the obsolescence factor especially.

I have lineage 18 running on my old s6, and the change in battery performance is phenomenal, even with an almost dead battery. I'm keen to see how it goes with the new one when it arrives.

As for the camera, it actually seems to be better than stock, especially in low light.

I was expecting it to lag and stall after going from android 7 to 11. (Like running windows 11 on a Pentium 4). But it's running very nicely.

I think for a firm like Samsung (and others), continuing to build their patches for older models would not be a huge stretch. But it won't happen, because it will impact sales.
