Hi all,

I'm stuck on LineageOS 20 18 September 2023 build.

When I check for an update, the system tell me verify failed.

How can I update to the latest release 2024-04-08 without wipe all?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] biggdaniell:
I needed root in order to run a mirroring app for android auto and since I could not boot stock rom after rooting I installed LineageOS 20 along with core gapps and then manually installed AA app from google play.

When I try to connect the phone to the car via AA I get something like "AA needs to be part of the OS itself and not installed manually, contact manufacturer". Any idea on how I could get around this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] adamppatch:
Hi,

yes, I'm a Nikgapps user, but I've encountered the same problem previously.

Unfortunately, AA doesn't work unless it's flashed as part of your gapps installation.

The gapps package that you flash during installation needs to include android auto. You either need to flash the gapps package that includes Android Auto - I think it's "stock", or (more complicated) do a custom installation which just includes the specific packages and dependencies you require.

The simplest option is to reflash lineage and stock gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kundifon:
When you flash rom, you have to flash gapps right after. That's the point.

Nikgapps provide several package. General rule is, less is more. There is seperate package for Android Auto available and for all others apps as well. Majority you can install later from play strore, some you can't. Android Auto is one of them, you can't install later.

You should flash the rom first, then the desired (main) Nikgapps package and after it aditional addons package(s). Even now you should boot for first time in to the system!

If you flash gpps package or Android Auto addon after first boot to system, then a factory reset is neccessary in order to things will work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] dirk1024:
You have to download the image manually and perform a dirty flash. After that the automatic update will work again.

Cheers

Hi , can it support s8 snapdragon too ?? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] eb0687:
Is there a guide on how to update lineageos manually?

Just checked the updater in settings and it seems i'm on a really old build. Aug 9, 2023 and when I tap the refresh button it says Im upto date...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] eb0687:
any help would be appreciated, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] bahaxd4:
just download the latest build zip file of LOS depending on what release you're using and dirty flash it with TWRP (just install the zip don't wipe or format) and you should be good to go 😊
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] eb0687:
Thank you very much, googled how to dirty flash and was a straightforward process.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] markdewet:
Hi all, so after battling endlessly with Google Wallet and Magisk, turns out that LineageOS is among the banned kernels according to this list: https://xdaforums.com/t/module-play-integrity-fix-safetynet-fix.4607985/post-89308909

So I guess I will be hunting for another, not banned kernel based ROM if I want anything other than stock ROM. So sad.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Adrianoooo:
You didn't flash playintegrity fix?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] markdewet:
um, yes I did, of course, v8 by Osm0sis.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Adrianoooo:
This one https://github.com/chiteroman/PlayIntegrityFix You need to clear Google play service data after installing it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] markdewet:
Already tried that one as well, thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Adrianoooo:
SOtherwise the rom is smoother than that of Alexis with Android 9?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] markdewet:
I do not understand your question
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Adrianoooo:
Have you tried another rom before this one, I am looking for the smoothest one with my S8+, I am on a custom rom that of Alexis but it is very slow
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] markdewet:
I am currently on Havoc OS, LineageOS 20 is the only other custom ROM I have tried. I have been on stock since I bought the phone. Can you please provide the link to your ROM from Alexis, I would like to take a look at it? Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Adrianoooo:
there she is https://xdaforums.com/t/alexis-rom-...-2021-ported-s10-stuffs-s9wallpapers.3753975/
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] markdewet:
Oh OK, thank you, but that is Android 9, the same version that was originally on my S8+. I am hoping to get a newer version. If you do not need to use Google Wallet then LineageOS 20 or 21 is very fast. I like them, except that I cannot get Wallet to work at all and now that includes Havoc OS, so looks like I will have to go back to stock as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] manubrio:
Hi, I flashed my Samsung Galaxy S8 with the latest ROM and the latest core GApps. After the reboot and the backup restore, the phone crashes and restarts. I can't figure out what's causing it to crash and restart. I tried clearing the cache of the apps I use, but it still crashes. Could it be due to the Google Apps? Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is there a way to figure out what’s causing it to crash? Some kind of log or something?

Thanks

Hey, Ivan, thanks again for updating and mantaining LineageOS for these devices! It really makes my day whenever I see there's a new update.

Regarding the logs you mentioned, how could I (or anyone willing to help, for that matter) provide them? I normally use a Mi Band 4 paired with Gadgetbridge, but I don't know if the app logs would help you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ivan_Meler:
after rebooting the device run adb logcat -b all > output on pc from terminal/command prompt/power shell and try to connect the device.

Feel free to send me logs in pm if you dont want to post them publicly
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] user900:
thank you for the update. bluetooth audio seems more stable now. need to test it more though.

but i am having trouble with the nikgaaps phone app. if i activate speaker in a call i receive i won't hear the caller, but they hear me. after this any calls i take i can't hear.

anyone has this problem?

edit: after more checking still the bluetooth cuts out sometimes when listening to spotify and moving my head to the right and phone is in left pocket.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] gnikolson:

I too , unfortunately, join the people who are having issues with the Bluetooth to pair specific devices:

✅ Pairing the phone with a speaker works OOTB

❌ Pairing the phone with my `Renpho Smart scale` does not work (through the `Renpho` app `com.qingniu.renpho` or through the Bluetooth menu)

❌ Pairing the phone with my `Mi Smart Band 5` does not work (through the `Zepp Life` app `com.xiaomi.hm.health` or through the Bluetooth menu)

Bank apps are working? Needs to use magisk for that?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ivan_Meler:
Another small update is out, mostly underr the hood changes in this one

- Switched to Generic FunctionFS usb backend (We used legacy functionfs in past)

- Updated USB hal

- Usb hal will now give notifications on port being wet instead of just disabling it without notice

- Merged few more missing BPF commits to kernel

- Unpinned deprecated updatable media apex jar from ram

- Synced with LineageOS source

Big thanks to everyone who supported this project and helped cover build server cost.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] spyrou007:
From my experience , it depends on your bank:

✅ UK-Lloyds Bank: No issue

✅ Pankistan Bank(any): No issue (according to @sirfnomi)

⚠️ Google Wallet: Device not certified by default. Magisk required.

⚠️ UK-Revolut: the Play Store says: "Your device isn't compatible with this version". Dirty workaround: Install APK from ApkMirror or another source.

❌ UK-Monzo: Failed to login due to an API issue. No workaround, even with Magisk.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] sirfnomi:
Yes, with magisk's help
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] spyrou007:
May I ask you which bank are you in ? (just its name)

So I can either update my post or learn from you (if you are using Monzo)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] sirfnomi:
Steps are same for every banking apps.

Use magisk hide

enable deny list and add play services and banking app on that list

Install safetynetfix module

Restart !

Thanks @sirfnomi , but you have not answered the question. :-(

Hi @ericpfister , you may want to provide more details. Like which app are you using? The Contact AOSP app from the lineageOS? Or the Google Contact app that you flashed (hopefully straight after flashing the ROM)?(depending on the package you chose)

How can I use the heart rate sensor? 👀
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] spyrou007:
Hi @Ivan_Meler , thanks for the work you're doing.

I was wondering if , with this ROM, you could reproduce this issue:

Go to this app "Revolut - Mobile Finance" to try to install it. From: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.revolut.revolut

When I do , I get this message "Your device isn't compatible with this version". see screenshot attached.

Is there anything that can be done on the ROM to prevent this?

FYI: I reproduced this before having Magisk, but also after Magisk with the universal safety net module (to get my device certified, in Google Play)

Many thanks in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] mtelleria:
Hello,

I have no problem installing it.

Have you installed universal safety net module on magysk?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] spyrou007:
Thank you for the reply.

Yes I have Magisk 25.2 (Zygisk) + Universal SafetyNet Fix 2.3.1
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] spyrou007:
If you are having issues with Google Pay/Wallet,

then know that there is a MOD to install on top of the regular Universal SafetyNet Fix 2.3.1

Mod was made by @Displax , and it can be found here.

He provides the usage , but what I did to pass the extra Google API checks is:

Just install the new safetynet-fix MOD over old Universal SafetyNet Fix

Reboot device.

Magisk settings > Configure DenyList > Enable: Google Pay/Wallet

Apps> Google Play Services > Clear all data

Apps> Google Play Store > Clear all data

Apps> Google Pay/Wallet > Clear all data

Reboot

Et voila

New builds are out, here is a brief changelog

- Adressed missing symbol in advanced camera effects lib that wouldnt launch without them

- Allowed system to override some bluetooth props

- Performance and stability improvements

- Synced with LineageOS source (Almost all of lineageos features should be there and work now)

Almost all of the lineageos features have been ported to Android 13 now and are working, there still might be a missing few compared to android 12.1 but i didnt find any.

There are also some device side changes that should improve performance stability and battery life

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Aretak:
I also had this issue on my S8 after a fresh install of this ROM (plus the "stock" NikGApps package), even after installing Magisk and the SafetyNet fix. What fixed it for me is following the steps here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/MicroG/comments/shmpng

Except without the MicroG bits, as I'm not using it. After I did that, missing apps like Revolut appeared in the store and installed and ran without issue (after hiding root from them in Magisk). I selected the SM-G950F fingerprint for my device since that's what I have. It may be different for you.

It's all been running super smoothly for me since then. Just updated to the latest build. Cheers Ivan.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] harpal singh:
Thanks for the build Ivan,

But I updated latest build using OTA and now there is a boot loop... I tried to dirty flash earlier release too but no luck.. I don't want to lose data... so any option to recover from boot loop without losing data. the device is rebooting again and again.

Please help me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ivan_Meler:
so this might come from magisk module or gapps/any mods you used.

i would start by deleting /data/adb from twrp file manager and dirty reflashing latest updare together with exactly same gapps and flashable mods you had flashed before
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] harpal singh:
Thank for the reply.

Yes i used magisk module and nik gapps. ok I try to delete the /data/adb and will do as you suggested. Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] spyrou007:
Many thanks @Ivan_Meler for this new release. the update (on dream2lte) went super smooth. (y)

I have 2 queries for you to consider, if you may:

I believe that SELinux is disabled. Consequently after each system update, we get a Trust warning saying so (SELinux disabled ... security risk .. blablabla). Will SELinux always be disabled ? if so : are you able to disable the security alert about SELinux ? or is it expected that users do that manually ?

In Settings > Display > LiveDisplay (colour): I am not able to change the display mode (day / night) or the Colour temperature (by default at 6500K). Could this be implemented , please ? or is this already working and I am doing it wrong ?

good news, the reading mode works, so the screen can turn greyscale at will, or during bedtime. That's good

Thanks in advance.
