That isn't what i mean, here is an example:

for example findroid (a client for jellyfin) can download episodes into the data folder but it can't see them after they are downloaded and when the app is restarted the files are deleted from the data directory, and i tested on other phones and they don't have the same behavior.

also tachiyomi (a manga reader app) downloads chapters to a normal directory in internal storage and zips them, then when trying to read them back it probably copies the zip into cache and unzips to read but it cant on this rom it says no file found.

another app like tachiyomi called kotatsu does a similar thing which zips but it asks for all files permission unlike tachiyomi and has no issue reading from cache.

also some other apps apps have trouble generating logs sometimes (maybe because they have the logs in thier data directory)
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Simon1511:
These phones were most likely not running LineageOS 20 / Android 13 in general.

Here's an informational Reddit post that should help you understand the whole situation:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/wru35i

As I already said before, access to the folders you mentioned is restricted starting from Android 13, so this is fully expected behavior.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Tempesto:
I understand that I can't access those directories, but the the app itself should have access its own directory in the android/data folder.

(the two phones i tested were android 13 oneui (samsung note10lite) and coloros 7 android 10 (oppof7))
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Simon1511:
Still, this is not an issue with the ROM, but with your App not properly supporting the newest version of Android. There's nothing LineageOS or I can do about that.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Tempesto:
the example apps were all recently updated in the last month and target android 14 and worked as expected on this phone on oneui before i installed lineage.

could this be a permission issue?

what partitions should i wipe in twrp to reset permissions?

Could this be related to selinux contexts?
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] geos_:
not sure if this is related. i used filmbox app to watch and download movies from their site. the movies were downloaded in app data folder. i was able to browse these files with fx file manager but was unable to do the same with x-plore file manager. i'm rooted and both apps had root permissions. looks to me like app capability related problem. crdroid 9.11

Depends on the specific version of stock you're on. Binary 5 ones (like A528BXXS5FWL4) will work, however binary 6 ones are not and will not be supported (for example A528BXXS6FXA4). Please refer to my unofficial LineageOS 21 builds for full stock Android 14 support.

[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Guegz:
Thanks for the awesome work ! I've flashed the latest ROM version today and I am loving it.

I experience two problems : I cannot enable WiFi (the button lags to move, the nothing happens, no scan/no network and all). If I can give you more insights, I'll be happy to provide logs etc. if you redirect me to a how-to !

Also, I'm no longer "clean" for my banking app. I learned today about safety net and all (my modding experience has stopped since CyanogenMod, so a lot happened it seems...), so it seems like I neet to install Magisk and root my phone to be able to pretend to be in an official ROM. However, are Android 13 and this ROM compatible with Magisk ? I find two main installtion methods, the "rename .apk to .zip and TWRP flash it" one which seems quite old, and the "flash with Odin and official firmware, wipe data" one on the Magisk Github. How will that work with this ROM...?

Thanks for the help and, again, for this ROM !
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Simon1511:
Is your phone an A528N or A528B? And which CSC did you have on stock ROM?

I made a short guide on how to pass safetynet some time ago: https://telegra.ph/Passing-safetynet-with-Magisk-v24-and-newer-03-03

Though be warned, it might not work for everyone. Some apps are easier to trick than others, while some dont work at all.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Guegz:
It's a A528B. However, I did a CSC guessing at a given time to go back to stock ROM after an accidental wipe (oops). Using Frija, I had to give my CSC but couldn't boot to find it (no idea this was a thing before flashing...) so went away with XEF which seemed to be the generic one for France (my operator is Orange, so CSC = FTM, but I didn't buy my phone through them).

As for Magisk, thanks for your guide which indeed seems really easy to follow! I willl give it a try this weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Simon1511:
Would you mind sharing logs?

Just run adb logcat and share the ouput, there are plenty of guides on the internet that will help you.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Guegz:
Based on the log output, I'm not surprised that no network is showing up !

Here are some parts that I filtered out that could contain some infos, otherwise I joined the full log (edit : as a new member, attached files are removed when submitting...) :

Spoiler content hidden.

Also, based on another A528B running latest stock firmware that I bought at the same time (I don't known why I haven't checked it in the first place!?), the software provider output is :

SAOMC_SM-A528B_OXM_XEF_13_0007
XEF/XEF,XEF/EUX/XEF

So it seems that XEF was indeed the correct CSC code for me. Does a CSC mismatch disables Wifi? Thus nothing to do with LineageOS ?
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] peezdah:
I am on the latest firmware (A528BXXU3EWC6) and have the same problem with wifi. does that mean i have to wait for a future version of this rom?
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] BlackMesa123:
CSC has nothing to do with any HW issue whatsoever. We found there's something sketchy happening in the vendor firmware blobs, in this case you both have currently installed a BL with SW REV. 3, while the current AOSP builds have SW REV. 2 firmware blobs, thus Wi-Fi is broken in your end. @Simon1511 is currently working on a fix to avoid this and other issues related to those specific firmware blobs to happen.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] rb1979:
Just want to say thank you for your help. I got some free time today to reset everything and got the ROM installed. I thought firmware and ROM were used interchangeably, and it was the same thing, so it's something I just learned. I'll start testing now and report any bugs I come across. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Simon1511:

problem with STK is finally fixed <3
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] ĽubomírKonečný:
Hello. Thank you for the custom ROM. Really appreciate it. I've flashed it and while I was setting up my phone I found some bugs I would like to report and some features I would like to see.

I've followed your flash guide but I have some modding experience so it wasn't a problem. I've flashed it after trying crDroid and PE. I've formatted data before flashing it. Then flashed MindTheGapps and wiped Dalvik, Cache and Metadata.

Bugs to report:

1. When setting up the fingerprint unlocking, quickly clicking the fingerprint part of the screen changes brightness and the text changes rapidly it's hard to see what is written.

2. The fingerprint can't be set up with Night mode enabled.

3. Option to change the icon shape is bugged when clicking the shapes.

4. Orientation sensor is not working in sensors testing apps.

Links to videos:

1 & 2:

3:

Features:

1. Automatic brightness is working worse than stock did. It changes brightness often and many times can't set it correctly.

2. Option to unlock the phone without need to press Enter after entering the password. (This may already be included but I didn't checked all settings)

So far, the custom ROM is performing pretty well. Little lag here and there, though. OneUI was smoother, but LineageOS is better in everything else IMO.

Okay, that's it for now. Sorry for spelling mistakes, my eyes and keyboard are not working well today.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Simon1511:
This is an issue with HBM (high brightness mode) not properly being enabled/disabled. It will most likely be fixed in one of the next builds.

Will also be fixed in one of the next builds.

That seems like a bug with LineageOS that is not specific to this phone, so I cant do much about it.

Works just fine here. Please check with AIDA64 as that is one of the most reliable apps I know. Apart from that, if screen rotation itself works fine then the sensor will be fine too.

This is an issue with the screen brightness interfering with the sensor. So far I haven't found a solution to this, but be sure that I'm looking into it.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] ĽubomírKonečný:
That's good to hear. :D

That's not really a big problem or something. Just something I came across.

Checked with AIDA64, the numbers are changing. Screen rotation does indeed work and so does compass app. So I quess, this is not a ROM problem but rather those sensors testing apps.

Yeah, this is basically the biggest problem I've found. But not big enough to stop me from using your custom ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] gnomiik:
There is an issue with this rom where apps detect Root even if Magisk is not installed. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks!

UPDATE:

The only way to fix this is to actually install Magisk, configure Hide / Deny List and insteall Safety Net fix. Then the app that checks for root will pass.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] ĽubomírKonečný:
That's because you have unlocked bootloader. As you wrote in the update, it has to be spoofed with Magisk and Universal SafetyNet Fix.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] gnomiik:
There is a bug where pressing right above the home button it does a strong vibration.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] gnomiik:

[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] ĽubomírKonečný:
What do you mean? Does it vibrate once and then second time but stronger? I've tried to replicate it but mine only vibrates two times occasionally on all three buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] ĽubomírKonečný:
Does RCS works for you? I've had trouble setting it up, I've flashed MindTheGapps.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] gnomiik:
Fixed by Disable Bluetooth A2DP hardware offload
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] gnomiik:

[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] gnomiik:
Recents App Switcher BUG where recents app does not show immediate app and scrolls to another one

Hi bro!!

i want to unlock my A528B but i don't find patched vbmeta. where i can find it? i want to install custom rom lineage.

My baseband is A528BXXU1DWA4 its work ? need to update samsung firmware befor A528BXXU3EWC6 ? thanks again for ur work
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Simon1511:
All the information you're asking for can be found in the initial post.

Disabled VBMETA is in TWRP thread (which is linked in my post) and it says that you should be on any version of OneUI 5.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] wiikita:
Sorry but my English is very bad.

Precisely there is too much information everywhere on the internet. I'm getting lost.

I was on Sony Xperia eXisitenz and passed to the root of Samsung makes me ask a lot of questions may not be the right ones. so I count

1. put OEm unlock

2. Backup (Data,Super,Boot,EFS)

3. boot on odin and flash samsung firmware A528BXXU1DWA4 to A528BXXU3EWC6

4.instal custom ROM Lineage

It's right?

🙏
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] trananhdat2710:
I look forward to the official LineageOS.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] ĽubomírKonečný:
First, you need to unlock bootloader and flash custom recovery.

Download TWRP from here: https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxya52s5G.html

and patched vbmeta from here: https://github.com/BlackMesa123/proprietary_vendor_samsung_a52sxq

Then follow the guide lower.

After bootloader is unlocked and TWRP is flashed, you can reboot phone to OneUI. Now, flash custom ROM.

After this is done, you may want to install Magisk. This can be done multiple ways. Easiest is to just flash magisk.zip but recommended is to extract the boot.img from the custom ROM, patch it in Magisk app and flash it in custom recovery. Then all you have to do is to hide Magisk, enable Zygisk and install Universal SafetyNet Fix.

If you need to explain something more thoroughly, just reply or send me a DM.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] fahadabe:
Hi everyone! I’m considering using this ROM for daily use. Can anyone share their experience with its overall performance and stability? Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] gnomiik:
Is ok, but there are some bugs. It's tolerable. I just hate android 13 and wish could go back to 11.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] ĽubomírKonečný:
It isn't as polished and bug-free as OneUI. Automatic brightness is way worse than stock one. Fingerprint is messing with screen brightness. I have problems with stock AOSP dialer app. It will freeze when I dial someone or won't show the screen when someone is calling me. This happens every now and then. Not constantly. I don't make calls too often, so it's fine. Camera quality is worse in LineageOS. It looks more like oil painting or smeared, less detailed. And there is more noise in the photos. I didn't find stock camera quality to be very good (compared to my Meizu M6 Note, which looks more natural), but this one is worse. If you are an active user I suggest to stay on OneUI, unless Samsung's bloatware is really bothering you or you don't mind doing little troubleshooting.

Now, for some pros. I think the battery life is better. Can't say for sure because I was using my phone less now and charging it to 100% on LOS instead of 85% on OneUI. Performance looks to be the same. Except for about 100-200MB less RAM usage, for me at least.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] fahadabe:
Thanks for sharing your experience with the ROM. Your feedback really helped me make a decision. For now, I’ve decided to stick with my current ROM. Shoutout to the developer for their hard work and I’m looking forward to future updates.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] ĽubomírKonečný:
Hi @Simon1511, I've found more bugs.

1. The screen randomly flickers. I hope this is a bug, phone was never dropped or anything.

2. After unsuccessful fingerprint unlock from AOD, the fingerprint sensor stops responding until phone is waken up.

3. On first call, the dialer screen didn't show up when I've received call. Then I couldn't dial contacts, got error message. Reboot fixed this. Both happened only once so far.

I was thinking about flashing back OneUI to see if the screen blinking problem will go away. I really hope this is not a hardware failure.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Simon1511:
Hmm, never seen that before. If you can then wait until the next build and see if that fixes it, shouldn't take long until then.

This is an issue with how AOSP handles fingerprint. I've been searching for a way to fix that, but haven't found one yet.

Shouldn't be too much of an issue if it only happened once. Might wanna try out different dialer/contacts apps though, for example Google's.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] ĽubomírKonečný:
Ok. This happened overnight. It started yesterday or day before yesterday. Before that nothing.

Is it possible to add code that would reset fingerprint after input from AOD? Like a workaround instead of fix?

I thought about changing the app, but I'm going to wait and see if it happens again.

Thank you. Awaiting update in the next weeks (if not days). :D
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Errorman:
I have stock OneUI, and my screen flickers the exact same way on 2G only. It is a common hardware issue (I guess). Someone also posted about it on xda. My guess, because AOSP roms on Samsung phones can't use VoLTE, they fall back on 3G/2G for calls, which normally wouldn't be a problem, but it does cause flickering on this device specifically if it falls to 2G with weak signal.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] ĽubomírKonečný:
Thanks for the input. Looks about the same. 2G seems to be the issue. I'm going to swap SIM to another phone and see if the same thing happens without the SIM. After this I did some googling and found out many people have this issue. I'm going to post this on some subreddits too, hopefully Samsung will step in. This is unacceptable quality from 300€ phone from such a big company as Samsung. Thank you.
