Hello, I have a problem with calling on Discord and other apps. My phone was rooted and had Google play integrity fix module on magisk, I had to go back to the stock ROM to fix this issue, is there a fix to this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] haky 86:
I fixed but I didn't push the update yet, I'm quiet busy with some stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Johnalos:
Oh okay, looking forward for the update!
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] haky 86:
anything else needed to be fixed? I'll push on june update at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Johnalos:
Sorry for the late reply, I didn't see any other issues, but there is an issue related to Lineage OS itself which doesn't allow Google assistant to use "Hey Google".
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] somoz:
idk if you already saw this but according to what is written there https://github.com/chiteroman/PlayIntegrityFix we now need the rom to be signed to be able to meet device integrity :

"If you use a custom ROM, make sure it is signed with the maintainer's private keys, otherwise, you will never be able to pass the Device verdict."

I personally don't care that much about this but I'm pretty sure some people may need it so it would be nice, thank you for your work.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] haky 86:
at this point isn't a bad idea promoting lineage to official, since they're doing signed builds!
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Bolla400:
Is vbmeta.img from the presteps actually required? I can't find the A71 model on the LineageOS side under downloads.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] haky 86:
Well, better to use the one I shipped with the latest recovery.gz without it, the rom will not boot.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] somoz:
Also if the next build will still be unofficial maybe you could include latest linux4's commits to fix flashlight strength on Samsung devices

Hello, I was wondering if this ROM has OTA Updates like the CrDroid ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kapsnik:
Why does lineageos recovery contain so few options, and why is ROM flashing only possible via sideload (instead of directly flashing zips in recovery)?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] GaiusJuliusCaesar:
OTA updates are, in my understandings, only available with official builds.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] haky 86:
ota is possible even with unofficial updates.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Franckydiam:
Hi, you write

"Note: this is a signed build, so flash signed recovery in order to flash the build, needed to pass SafetyNET and PIF."

have you link and a procedure to pass SafetyNet and PIF ?

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] haky 86:
a link no, but I can write the procedure to pass (If Google didn't bans my keys), here's the steps:

-Flash Magisk via sideload option in recovery then reboot.

-Open Magisk and install its add-ons, then reboot again.

-Now open Magisk after reboot, then enable Zygisk.

-Enable DenyList and search for Google Play Services, check GMS Stable and GMS Unstable services.

-Now flash latest PIF from Magisk Modules option, which can be downloaded from here.

-Install SPIC from Google Play, profit.

edit : As usual I think? Recovery with Odin and Rom with Recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] haky 86:
if it's easier for you then use Odin to flash the new recovery, since I introduce /system_ext partition.

P.S: if most of you is getting voip issues with the new build, just do clean install.

P.S 2: LineageOS will be official soon.

I facing a problem with gapps. I installed "ADB -d Sideload Lineage-21.0-20240702-unofficial-71-Signed.zip" and immediately after (without restarting the phone) I installed "ADB -d Sideload Mindthegapps-14.0.0- ARM64-20240612_135921.zip "but it ends with an error (see picture). What can I do ?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] haky 86:
did you flash signed recovery too?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Franckydiam:
yes, i flashed by Odin recovery-21.0-20240702-UNOFFICIAL-a71.tar. The Rom works well, but I have no gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] haky 86:
try nikgapps core version and see, I tested mindthegapps and they works well before uploading the build.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Franckydiam:
I followed the procedure, Flash "Recovery" with Odin, then Flash "Rom" with the Recovery in ADB, once spent, I returned to home of the Recovery to flash Mindthegapps in ADB, but like you see, the installation aborted and after reboot, no gapps on my phone. Is that like that?

p.s: Of course, i tap "Factory Reset, then Format data / factory reset" before flash the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Franckydiam:
I will start the entire procedure from the start by following the tutorial to see if it changes something.

Is there a way to delete this screen when starting the phone? This screen complicates my life very much when I want to restart in Download or Recovery mode ... Thx

[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] haky 86:

[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Franckydiam:
After having flashed the recovery, in the tutorial it is indicated "Note: Be sure to reboot into recovery immediately after installing the custom recovery. If you don’t the custom recovery will be overwritten on boot." Is it really very important? Because with the warning screen that appears at start, I can't start in recovery. Tel is launched in system and the only way I have to access the recovery is to activate the advanced start -up menu to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] haky 86:
-connect the phone to usb port.

-press volume up + power buttons together.

-leave the buttons once "samsung" bootloogo appears.

you should able to enter recovery!.

[General Topics] Hendrix7:
I have always preferred it if the home button and navigation buttons are outside of the screen, as well as rectangular screens without notches or rounded corners, like it was until the Galaxy S7 and Note 5 (also Note 7, but that got scrapped).

Navigation buttons​

With out-of-screen navigation buttons (recent tasks, home screen, go back), I always know that if I tap or press on this physical location on my smartphone, it will do the exact same thing. It is not ambiguous. If I touch the lower right corner of my smartphone, I know it goes back. I don't have to put energy into thinking whether it does it or not. No app can hide it.

The handling of on-screen navigation buttons might be inconsistent across apps. Some apps might hide them and add an extra step to accessing them, some apps might not hide them so they use less than the available screen space. This is especially bad for video players.

This was a problem affecting ES File Explorer's built-in media player back when it was popular, in its pre-adware days.

Notches are hostile to third-party operating systems.​

Also, I have always wondered how third-party operating systems are supposed to handle odd non-rectangular screen shapes with notches. Non-rectangular screens and especially notches are certainly hostile to third-party operating systems because those operating systems are unaware where the "blind spots" of the screen are. The top status bar might extend outside the border radius of the rounded screen, and might be covered by a notch or on-screen front camera.

Notches also limit the screen space of the status bar at the top. Perhaps it should have more than one row. If a modification that enables a multi-row status bar exists, I am not aware of it yet.

Virtual navigation buttons​

I understand the benefit of virtual on-screen keys, the customizability. However, with modifications, even a smartphone with dedicated out-of-screen navigation buttons can simulate virtual on-screen navigation buttons. So smartphones with out-of-screen navigation buttons offers users both possibilities.

Bezels​

Bezels with the size of the Galaxy S7, Note 5, and earlier never bothered me.

In fact, they provide a spot where I can put my thumb for more comfortable holding when watching a video or browsing a gallery in horizontal orientation.

At Unpacked 2017 Episode 1 (Galaxy S8), Justin Denison asked the audience "when was the last time you appreciated bezels" or similar. If only he applied this logic to replaceable batteries: "when was the last time slim design mattered more to you than being able to replace the shortest-lived part of your smartphone?".

Curved edges​

Curved edges do not interfere with third-party operating systems, but…

Let TechAltar explain the rest.

(In case embedding does not work: 2014 called. It wants its curved screens back.)

[General Topics] smithinger44:
I agree.

I have landed an upgrade from Galaxy S7 Edge, to OnePlus 7T Pro at it's release and I refuse to ever use any other phone.

Camera is hidden, so no notches necessary and the whole front is occupied by the screen. Feels great in hand, although its a bit on the heavy side. And the speakers are perfectly fine, even when tasked with livening up a small house party.

Holding the foldables feels like holding a plastic doorhinge, about to break any minute.

Any gimmicky "hardware keyboards for two fingers" or "display on the side", or "giant camera apertures" are an instant turn-off. If I need to type a longer message, I am going to need all of my fingers, so the keyboard is pointless. I have never been in a situation where additional screens have come in handy for more than making a show. Well built small cameras are more than perfectly fine nowadays, multiple phones are a proof of this.

I too stick with the 3 button navigation as it requires least effort to do navigation and is more reliable than swiping across the screen. But someone thought to make it more difficult and had put the return button on the far corner of the screen... Why?
[General Topics] Umgak:
I'm personally fine with the little punch-hole cameras in the top corner, like on my OnePlus 9 Pro, but if you want to take a big notch out of my screen you can find someone else to sell it to. And you'll take my three button navigation from my cold, dead hands.
[General Topics] Hendrix7:
I don't like mechanical pop-out cameras either. They are a physical vulnerability. If the phone drops to the ground while the camera is protruded, it could very well break off.

I don't mind one centimetre of bezel, and never did. The design of the Galaxy Note 4 is perfectly fine (except the middle rear camera. Corner cameras are better.).
[General Topics] smithinger44:
@Hendrix7

I've had the pop-out mechanical camera phone for 4 years now. It has been dropped countless times, including with front camera out and into water. I've been to a sandy beach dozen times without issues.

I understand your phobia, but the pop-out is very sturdy, doesn't wobble at all when out, has some water resistance & when a fall triggers the accelerometer, the camera hides in a split of second. While the shell is quite battered, nothing is wrong with internals.
[General Topics] Hendrix7:
If it is retracted while the phone is exposed to water, will no water go in?

I hope that thing is also isolated internally.
[General Topics] FoxyDrew:
I agree with everything OP said.

Only problem is, having a big screen, without having an unwieldy big device, requires a high screen to body ratio. And that's not possible with hardware navigation keys.

And the big screen is more important to me. To be fair I'm a foldable user so it's a little different
[General Topics] Hendrix7:
Actually, a bezel the size of that of the Galaxy S8 can still contain hardware navigation buttons.
[General Topics] hkjo:
While I prefer rectangular screen and no notches (and a way to physically block the front lens), in theory most of the problems you mention can be solved by software.

On-screen nav buttons can be made static.

Notches can be solved by software by not using the top area of the screen at all (BTW, Android does support reporting where they are).

Bezel-like no-interaction zones can be dictated by software.

The problem may be the common OSes don't offer these features.
[General Topics] FoxyDrew:
The bezel on the Galaxy S8 is still very large compared to the newest S24 Ultra, which absolutely has NO room for harwdare buttons.
[General Topics] Hendrix7:
And no one complained about the S8 bezels back in 2017.

In fact, no one even complained about the S7 bezels.
[General Topics] FoxyDrew:
And I didn't complain about not having a cell phone at all in the 90's? What's your point?

It's not 2017 anymore, phones are better, expectations change. That was 7 years ago.

I loved my S7 Edge. I wouldn't daily it today?
[General Topics] Hendrix7:
Manufacturers should put effort into making smartphones more functional. That's more important than making them look pretty.

Rounded corners and notches sacrifice the width of the notification bar (fewer icons), as well as the ability to place your thumb somewhere without touching the screen in horizontal orientation.

On-screen navigation buttons are less consistent than dedicated ones since they can be hidden.

But I am glad the trend of curved-edge screens has faded out.
[General Topics] FoxyDrew:
Okay, you're fighting the entire industry than lmao. Nothing else I can say to you besides most people disagree with you, and prefer higher screen to body ratio (including me). And there's proof. The phones that EVERY manufacturer on the planet are currently shipping right now supports that claim.

Just stick with your old phones if that's what you prefer. This narrative that Apple, Samsung, etc, are all wrong and don't understand the cellphone market isn't going to change anything for you, because it's objectively incorrect.

Bezels aren't going to make a come back, lol. Deep down I think you know that, and you're barking just to bark.
[General Topics] Hendrix7:
And I never said I expect that.

Also, I care less about the bezel for thumb placement than I care about the shortened space of the notification bar. Modern phones with a centered notch front camera can only display two to three icons instead of seven icons or more. This is objectively a disadvantage.

Another issue are third-party operating systems. Notches could cover parts of the screen for third-party operating systems, so third-party operating systems are forced to adapt to the blind spots on the screens of every smartphone model in existence, or else the notch might cover the battery indicator.

Oddly shaped screens are just another thing that somehow went through like non-replaceable batteries. Who voted for non-replaceable batteries? Polls show end-users certainly didn't. And yet it went through because all vendors radically switched to non-replaceable batteries, leaving the user without a choice.

I have never heard a person saying they are bothered by half a centimetre of bezel, because it doesn't adversely affect the user experience, but I have seen countless internet comments rightfully complaining about non-replaceable batteries.
[General Topics] Hendrix7:
Another reason I haven't mentioned yet:

A physical home button can be used to launch the camera faster.​

It is easier to launch the camera while the smartphone is in the pocket by double-pressing the physical home button than by double-pressing the power button.

When the phone is in the pocket, a physical home button like the S6 and S7 have is easier to reach with the thumb, where as the power button is far deeper in the pocket.

In a quickly passing moment, a physical home button allows the camera to be launched before it is pulled out of the pocket.

Sadly, Samsung added an anti-feature to its 2016 flagships that would defeat this benefit. It was also delivered to the 2015 flagships through the Android 6 update: A useless pop-up that reads "Camera has been opened via Quick launch" would appear when the sensors of the device detected that the phone is in the pocket. (more details)

Another solution for this would be physical shutter buttons that simulate the experience of a real dedicated digital camera. Some Xperia phones and early Samsung smartphones like the Samsung Omnia series were equipped with one, and many outdoor smartphones are (Doogee, UleFone).
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] Hendrix7:
The most common reason I miss a moment is because the front camera launches instead of the real camera, because the front camera was active when exiting the camera software for the last time.

There is a "settings to keep" submenu in the camera settings, but none of these settings change that the camera app starts on the camera that was last exited. Did the developers of the camera software really think users will say "oh, thank you for remembering the last camera I used!" ? Because of this, the user must remember to exit on the rear camera.

Is there any modification that always starts the rear camera, regardless of which camera was exited at?
