You don't have to root your phone to install it, but you do need to unlock the bootloader. Inside the guides forum you can find the tutorial to unlock the bootloader (And ONLY the bootloader), then the rest of the steps you can find in the LineageOS 19.1 post, as it provides the steps to flash vbmeta to allow installing custom software.

Also, don't use twrp as author said.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TestUserG:
Also, can the latest update ota notification get fixed by not appearing again even if it has been installed?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jtdxa:
I installed lineage recovery and it boots to recovery but shows a message cant load android system your data might be corrupt and then there are 2 options try again and factory reset, try again shows android dead with a red traingle and factory reset completely wipes the data and one ui boots normally, I went back to stock and I cant use samsung pass as it shows phone rooted while I havent rooted but all other apps work and play store is certified. I am not able to install custom rom. Is there any way to get past this?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
If it boots to oneui then you didn't wipe system+data on your first recovery boot (also explains why stock recovery reflashed itself)
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jtdxa:
I am not able to wipe system and data because when i do that once reaching recovery the phone boots to system one ui. And then later after rebooting to android i go to recovery its samsung recovery and not lineage or pe recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
Because oneui wipes custom recovery. If you follow the installation guide closely it will work fine. No reboots where unnecessary.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jtdxa:
Im sorry to keep asking but please bear with me. I unlocked bootloader then the device gets erased and then I boot to download mode and flash vbmeta.tar and press volume down and up and goes to download mode again and then flash lineage recovery via odin. Then booting to recovery shows android system data corrupt and 2 options are there try again or factory reset, while factory reset doing then it cleans the system and boots automatically to system showing samsung logo. Then while trying to boot to recovery phone vibrates and samsung logo appears.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] haky 86:
press volume up + power buttons, plus the device must be connected to the usb port.

leave buttons once you see samsung bootlogo, you should able to boot into recovery after that.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
By factory resetting you don't actually get rid of oneui, there should be an arrow in top left corner of recovery to go back to main menu and wipe there.

[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Jadxman:
just a question, how could I download samsung apps in a custum rom? is it pheasible ?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jtdxa:
I tried the same, downloaded apk and the app installs but does not open. I guess Samsung apps check for safety net or compatibility according to the software running.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] KewlCustomRomGuy:
Idk what software you are trying to run but i was able to launch Galaxy Wear/Watch or whatever its called by the help of this thread: link

Does the unlimited google photos backup feature work on this ROM too? Like in PE
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jtdxa:
Yes, it spoofs as Nexus and you get unlimited photos option in this rom

I want to know how can i switch mobile data connection between the dual SIM, To make it work from SIM 2
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
switch it in settings
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Merc87:
do i have to download the full stock rom and flash it to get the recommended firmware or is there a way to get only the needed part (like how stock rom is usually multiple files / parts in a zip) and flash that
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
Easiest way is to just flash the entire thing, but having latest oneui as a base shouldn't be necessary. In theory every oneui 3.1 vendor should work.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Merc87:
Oh okay, I just wanna avoid stability issues
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Merc87:
developer said no it doesnt, however do you know how i can spoof it to a nexus? i already flashed it and am using it

Edit: Found a tutorial that uses LSPosed to do this, however I need root of course, I'll use it for now until all my stuff gets backed up
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Merc87:
Anyone try recording with the mic? asking because mine is so low I can barely hear my voice notes, if it's not common to all then I guess I'll have to re-flash
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
It's known with oss audio. Will focus on this once I return to development
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] KewlCustomRomGuy:
You could enable record in high quality option in the recorder app by pressing on the settings icon(in the recorder app) and enabling the high quality audio toggle. Its still low but a little better.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] KewlCustomRomGuy:
It looks like if you enable reading mode/night light/dim screen FOD stops working. Also lift to check phone, long press on fingerprint sensor to unlock phone features do not work.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Merc87:
Oh okay, well people have told me they could hear me clearly (when sending voice notes) so that's okay for now
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
known and mentioned many times already. Lift to check works and long press fod is low priority

Are there Gapps available for this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Merc87:
lol there's literally a link to the recommend Gapps in the installation guide.

Redirecting…
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xdaattah:
Helle everyone,

I intalled lineage 20, android 13 on GALAXY SM-A705FN.. the booting was successfull. Things worked fine but, there some important apps that I can not let go of.

1... I installed smart switch on the phone in order to restore me back up through the other smsrt switch on pc....BUT It did not work, the smart switch on PC could not recognized the phone nor the smart app in the phone...that means I will loss my everything backed up if I should continue using lineage os on the galaxy A70.

2... The lineage os does not give any nearby setting to switch between the two sims...it stucked to only one sim for browsing...that means you are not given opportunity to switch to the second sim for internet browsing....

PLEASE..., try to rectify the issues. Thanks for good work.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
Neither of those are a device issue and I doubt that smart switch works properly on aosp due to it being Samsung's proprietary app, meant to be used on their official FW. I'd suggest doing backups with other apps or through google if you use gapps. You can also switch the sim used for browsing in Settings>Network>SIM cards.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Damon1:
My A70 has been working amazing this changing over to this rom. Everything is working great, however when I'm on call the other person has been experiencing quality issues such as echo's. Especially when they are on speaker. Is there any reason why this may be occurring?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
That's the tradeoff we have to put up with currently, since we use oss audio instead of samsung's (that one had problems with Bluetooth calls over voip). I'd suggest using a pair of earphones, or alternatively returning to a previous build which used Samsung's audio at the cost of bluetooth.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Damon1:
Thanks. Might have to go back to the stock rom because of this. Unfortently i've got people from work complaining of problems hearing me and I also require bluetooth to be connected in the car to receive calls on the go.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TestUserG:
@rttxda will you push an update of latest fixes of PE (fod dimming, ...) to los (preferably with march security update) when you have time?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Damon1:
So i've managed to deal with the echo problem by just slightly turning the volume down on calls to the point where the other person can't hear themselves. Looks like it was only a problem with loud calls, and I can still easily hear them with the volume down.

Another problem i've experienced is having a call on Bluetooth in the car, while the other person is on speaker. On my end, I can barely hear the other person with them jumping in and out every single word with lots of static when they talk. On their end, they can't hear me at all. Worked before I changed over to this rom, so i'm not too sure if its an issue with this rom, or theres something weird going on. Works fine if they aren't on speaker.

Also, which is more of a stable rom to use for full time use? I've been loving this one, but if PE is a better and more developed rom (must have bluetooth and calls working fine), then i'd rather use it.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] NoobMaster05:
I can't install the February update.When I click install,it shows applying update even though its not updated.Is the inbuilt updater broken?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
It works for me but iirc the current zip uploaded for ota is slightly out of date with what the updater expects. To check if you actually are on the latest version, check the about phone section in settings, it should show 20230202 there.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] VanchPL:
Any chance of the fingerprint changes from PE coming to this rom?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
Yes, eventually. For now I'm not able to update los due to lack of free time, and ISP having issues yet again. The trees are public though so for the time being one can pick the changes from PE tree and apply them to lineage.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] arkadione:
Has anybody had issues with very large photo sizes?

I have recently noticed that my photos are about 47 MB per photo. With a previous ROM, not this one, photos were only about 7 MB.

I tried using Open Camera (from Fdroid and Google Play), and Stock Camera. They both make photos that are 47.5 MB large when I do the 3264 x 2448 pixel size.

I tried using Simple Camera and it's only 500 KB. That's way too low.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
There's no known fix for it currently, but yes this was mentioned before.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] arkadione:
Phew. I thought I was going insane. Thanks for confirming it is a known issue.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] cool sky:
When I unlock the phone, The screen brightness often goes too low or too high on its own, and I have to readjust it again, Sometimes but rarely It does that randomly! Is there a way to fix this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
May build is now available as an OTA update, bringing Lineage in line with PE in terms of device-specific fixes, mainly related to the fingerprint sensor. As always, it's recommended to do a data backup before updating in case something goes wrong.

Why can't i just update my lo19 to lo20 without having to wipe everything again?

Life would be so much more joyful. :-)
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
Normally you could but we can't for two reasons:

- I haven't even tested this, mostly official devices are tested

- There have been some big device-side changes between 19 and 20
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] cameleon72:
Hi there

I am running this OS for 2 weeks now, and really like OS very fast and smooth, however is still bit buggy . Most anoying is Skype isntalled. and voice is all over, like talking fast forward baby voice :)

Can you please fix this to Skype work . Also noticed when you use Password protected hise app, if you password protect App it will work ask for pasword ,however once app is opened even if you close up and somone hit recent menu button you will be still able to open protected app even if is closed and it should ask for password to reopen from recent menu.

Voice is not so good quality using over BT in car alos calling and accepting calls from car audio , it is liek dealy will give error like unable to make call, and after cople second it coem back to life and call as per normal. same accepting calls over BT in car radio ( VW tiguan Discover Pro MIB2 )

I wish if possible to Get same audio quality and stability as on Samsung original OS over BT in car, especially if someone would be able to get working (VoLTE) , i really like Volte high quality phone calls.

Wondering also why this ROM has not by default included basic email client like some previous IineageOs

so you can from included filebrowser or other aps have option to share and select to send file on emial. If i install myself Emial free client app from XDA forum recommanded for LineageOS, it does not give me option to share via emial in share sub menu other aps

.

Also i am really missing option to have Network monitor data tool in top status bar like included in some previous LineageOS, or only me cant find it?

Finger Print sensors is also buggy most time will set by no reason brightnees to Full when you try to swipe to unlock.

Option to not wake screen by lifting device , even if you disable option in menu, sometime phone still wake up screen when you lift phone .

Hope you will keep updating and keep live this great OS, adding more feature with new updates and new features fixing also some bugs.

Thank you

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TestUserG:
@cameleon72 most of them you are saying are rom specific issues.

Dev now uses aosp audio yet (to have bt fully working), as a result there is echoing in calls, that's true and low volume generally compared to stock.

Volte is not possible at all for Samsung phones custom roms.

Rom specific. You could use fairemail or k9.

Again rom specific, it's available to other roms, e.g. PE.

That should be fixed in next releases iirc (with a little boost in brightness and no failure on aod)

That does not happen for me, be sure you have disabled the option at settings (it appears on two points: aod and gestures).
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
Some of the issues mentioned are already addressed and will be available in next update.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] cameleon72:

I have a question. ROM is pretty good is butter smooth but where is the FM Radio app? Is this ROM specific or is there a reason for that?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
I had no luck with FM radio so far unfortunately, not yet sure if it can be made to work with the audio backend we use (crdroid uses a different one and FM works there, but it has big issues with bluetooth calls.. so for my ports I switched back to a working one at cost of FM)

And yes, if FM radio gets fixed, I'll include an fm app too.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Quintus3236:
Yeah that is understandable. Also Screen Cast doesn't seems to work. It does connect but it's just black on the monitor.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
It only works with google apps installed, if I remember correctly. I test it with Android TV and it does work with gapps, but I have no way to test other screencasting methods.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Quintus3236:
Well that sucks. There's no way I'm installing Gapps. Anyway I appreciate your replies. I apologize for taking your time.

- What gapps package did You use?

- Was the update done with the appropriate recovery?

- FYI, Google apps are not officially supported by the LineageOS project as stated here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps

Only thing I can suggest is to try reflashing the newest gapps package, since I've had this problem myself in the past, though on a different phone.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Quintus3236:

Hi guys, I've tried your room, it's almost perfect, but there are some improvements that need to be made.

1.- it is possible to integrate play store, since gapps sometimes does not install well, also the services do not synchronize contacts

2.-smart things not working

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Quintus3236:
Integrating Play Store would defeat the purpose of LineageOS. That will not happen.

That's because PE does some spoofing, on Lineage you need to do it yourself since los doesn't fake the device.
