It depends on what version you are comming from - but in generally: Yes a wipe is required or strange things may happen
I have attached google apps. It must be installed seperatly.
Thank you so much for your hard work on this!
I had a problem installing the rom - don't know why, I can't think what I could have done wrong, full wipe as usual. Now the internal sd partition E: seems to be broken, I cannot mount it through cwm and can't access to the recovery I made. I tried installing the last cm9 from the external sd, it boots but then an android notification pops up with the message "encryption unsuccessful", telling me to reset the tablet.
Any hints how could I fix this? Thank you very much!

THANX FOR U WORK
Edit: Using recovery from second post worked!
In case it helps a picture of the moment it starts hanging- sorry for the bad quality!
Thanks so much, but please make the touch buttons work because, even if they're not required for ICS, they're still a good add.
I hope it won't be hard to do so.

Looks like you have used a wrong/bad recovery. Nopy is currently working on a update.zip with the new recovery.
now I'm getting "Magic value mismatch" so I think I'm one of those that his folio doesn't run anymore, even when flashing other roms. Will the new recovery fix this? or flashing a rom via fastboot could fix it?
I managed to get my Folio back after wrong recovery error.
I just flashed CWM Recovery v3.0.2.8 (which apparently includes a MBR) using fastboot.
After that, I could flash CWM recovery v5.0.2.7 and CM9-r4 2.6.32 rom.
Now I am waiting for the new recovery from nopy to use 2.6.39 build, as CWM v3.0.2.8 can't flash it (assert failed on product.device folio 100)
huh I could fix it flashing foliomod via fastboot
This is simply awesome!!!! Thank you very much!
I own both remote and docking and I'll let you know how them works when this awesomeness will be available for the masses

Hey guys above is the Google drive link for official ota update for our Lenovo a6000 plus 1024mb
I had rooted Lenovo a6000 plus to install the viper4android fx equalizer did not install any custom rom
Rooted using superuser app using adb and successfully unrooted using the native superuser full unroot option. Still I was scared that the ota might brick my phone, but no it didn't brick my phone. I heard people bricked their phones using the kingroot app.
Place the zip file into sdcard0/lenovoota/
And press on the new found firmware and click update now
If this method doesn't work do it manually
Goto about/software updates
1. Click on the leftmost capacitive button
2. Click on toolkit
3.Then click on the first option install update from sdcard by a zip file
4. It will reboot the phone into recovery and ask you to select the zip file
*In the recovery Use Vol up and down to navigate ; Power button to select*
5. select the zip file and then select yes
6. sit back and relax ,wait for 10 to 15 mins
7. After update it is recommended that you apply a factory reset.
http://snappydevelopers.blogspot.in/2015/09/lenovo-a6000-plus-stock-lolipop-rom.html
My review:
https://youtu.be/EVMmETp1_Ec
Changes:
1. Camera is very well caliberated and optimized to capture good images makes the camera more optimized with less grains and no over exposure of flash
kitkat vs lolipop camera samples: http://snappydevelopers.blogspot.in/2015/09/lenovo-a6000-plus-kitkat-vs-lolipop.html
2. Battery saver which can boost your battery upto 90 mins more
3. Material design
4. 3d multitasking tray which is always helpful.
5. lockscreen notifications and float notifications and caller float notification
Bugs solved after a factory reset:
1. WhatsApp contacts not displayed
2. play store 64 bit error
Bugs: https://youtu.be/QHvGJkyblfo
1. Third party apps cannot write to the external sdcard
*The default apps can write to external sdcard*
2. default launcher pops up after every reboot
3. after unplugging the headphones the ringer volume is turned low
4. The mx player when headphones plugged in and volume increased above 10% it quits the app.
5. All four cores are running continuously which drains the battery faster but the phone still can manage to give a backup of 1 days on moderate-heavy usage and 1.5 days on low-moderate usage
6. No multiuser support
7. Estimated charging time not displayed on the lockscreen
8.One more bug which I noticed recently is that some facebook videos won't run
Hope Lenovo will fix these bugs soon
Those who bricked their Lenovo a6000 phones by rooting follow this link
*note: Not for a6000 plus*

[Solution] To fix Bug 4 ( MX Player Closing automatically at sound level above 10)
Just found a simple solution to fix Bug 4...
Go to the Settings of MX Player -> Audio and make sure System Volume is unchecked...
Hope this helps..
You can then increase the system volume as much as you want with the volume buttons on the right side of your phone...

Everything else: podcasts, Authenticators, TODOs etc...
Then copy the backup on your PC.
Make sure you have latest official updates for your phone:
Connect to Wifi and go to Settings > About device > Software update > Update now
### BACKUP NOW, you will lose everything.
3) FLASH TWRP 3.7 RECOVERY
Go to Settings > About phone> Software information.
Tap 7 times on Build number item to unlock Developer options.
Go to Settings > Developer options, switch OEM unlock ON and Confirm.
Shutdown phone.
Boot in Download Mode: hold Home + Power + Volume- until you see blue-green Warning screen and release buttons.
Confirm access to Download mode by pressing Volume+.
Phone now displays "Downloading..., Do not turn off target".
Connect phone in USB, wait for drivers installation.
Then launch Odin.exe (included in my archive) and wait for Odin indicator ID:COM to become blue.
In options: Verify re-partition and Auto Reboot are NOT ticked while F. Reset Time is ticked.
In AP > select twrp-3.6.2_9-0-hero2lte.img.tar
### Same recovery for Korean models (G930S/K/L variants)
### Warranty will be Void after next click ###
Click Start.
Wait until flash Success message appears.
Unplug phone.
Restart phone to recovery :
- hold Power + Home + Volume- until phone screen becomes black...
- and immediatly switch from Volume- to Volume+ (still holding Power + Home) and hold until Samsung's logo is displayed to land in TWRP recovery.
### If Android launches, hold 3 buttons until phone restarts and Samsung logo appears.
4) BACKUP IMEI PARTITION AND SYSTEM (Nandroid backup)
(Boot in Recovery Mode: Hold Home + Power + Volume+ until you see Samsung's logo then release and wait a few seconds for TWRP recovery to boot)
Recovery asks for Keep System Read Only ? > Swipe to Allow Modifications.
Go to Wipe > Format Data.
Type: yes and confirm with bottom right check icon.
Encryption is removed. You can now access partitions.
### If you miss this step you won't have access to any partition.
Back to home menu > Backup.
You can now select the partitions you want to save.
Select at least EFS partition to backup your IMEI. If a flash fails and partition is damaged you will still be able to restore this partition and use the phone.
If IMEI is lost during a flash, phone won't be able to reach cellphone networks.
I prefer to backup Boot, System, Baseband and EFS partitions. In case of problem, you will have your phone in its original state.
Swipe to Backup and wait during process.
Go to Home screen and continue with next chapter.
Save backup: still under TWRP recovery, connect phone to PC.
Go to Mount menu and check Data partition is checked and MTB button is on "Disable MTP" state.
From Windows explorer, access phones memory and copy-paste the TWRP folder (located in root folder, beside DCIM and Music folders) somewhere safe on your computer.
5) FORMAT PARTITIONS
### Make sure you copied TWRP backup from internal memory to somewhere safe.
Go to Wipe > Advanced wipe,
select Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage (if you really made a backup at step 2), then Swipe to Wipe.
Back to TWRP home screen, go to Reboot > Recovery and swipe to reboot.
On next launch, check the checkbox to remember choice and swipe to allow modifications.
6) FLASH ROM, (MAGISK ROOT) AND GAPPS
Back to TWRP main menu, go to Mount menu again to connect phone to PC again.
Connect phone to PC and use Windows explorer to copy files on phone's internal memory.
Copy TWRP folder from your phone to somewhere safe on PC.
This backup can restore your phone to its original Samsung state.
Copy files of ROM + BitGApps + Magisk on phone.
Go back to TWRP Home menu. Then tap on Install > choose lineage*.zip,
Optional for root: Add More zips > Magisk*.zip
then Swipe to confirm Flash.
Wait for operation to end.
Go to Reboot > Recovery and swipe to reboot.
After restart, go to Install, select bitgapps*.zip and swipe to flash.
Then tap Wipe cache/dalvik, swipe to confirm,
then Reboot System and on Install TWRP App? menu, tap on button Do Not Install
Wait for the phone to boot during 5 minutes.
7) ROOT ACCESS
Configure Android as you like.
Don't try to set fingerprints at first setup. It will crash.
No need for extra work to be root.
Magisk launches with Android.
Superuser permissions can be managed from Magisk Manager app.
8) TWEAKS
- Calibrate battery: https://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/Battery_Calibration
- Set dark Mode to improve battery by 30%
Settings > Display > Dark theme.
- For better battery, remove Always on display
Settings > Display > Lock screen > Ambient display

Go to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer options.
- Change screen definition for low GPU/CPU usage: from 1440x2560 to 1080x1920
You need developer options to enable USB debugging.
Open a terminal where adb.exe from my pack is located.
Plug phone and Authorize USB debugging.
Then type:
Code:
adb shell wm size 1080x1920 && adb shell wm density 400
// Defaults 1440x2560 and 504
- Screen sensitivity is too low ?

- Reboot recovery
- Flash rom
- Reboot recovery
- Flash BitGApps
Enjoy
Force Samsung Galaxy S7 restart
Hold Power + Volume down for 10-20 seconds
Thanks for the detailed instructions.
Please fix two minor typos: In the Odin instructions, the files should be hero2lte* not herolte*.
Re Magisk: 24.0, I suppose, should be used / upgraded to. (I've run into issues with 24.2 on another platform.)

Hi, you are correct and I'll fix glitch.
For Magisk, as you report bugs, I'll wait to move to 24.x. You can create an Issue here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues
Thanks for sharing

Hi, did you Format Data then Advanced Wipe > Format Cache, System ?
Then
Reboot to Recovery
Flash ROM
Reboot to recovery
Flash BitGapps
Reboot
I solved problem.
I installed older version TWRP with Odin and new version
hey @djibe89 & other XDA folks, thanks for these steps.
I have a SMG935W8 and currently borked on the BiTGApps step. All proceeded smoothly until there and now I'm seeing an error on TWRP and I'm not really sure how to resolve it.
It's complaining that the install config is not found and that it's an unsupported Android SDK version, which doesn't seem quite right.
Any tips would be highly appreciated
Judging from my deep dive, the current LineageOS 19.1 builds are SDK 32, and the BiTGapps builds only support up to 31... Definitely looking for tips, still.
Going to try this post's GApps
Hi, for now, stick to latest LOS 19 build: https://github.com/ivanmeler/ota_provider/releases/tag/herolte_lineage-19.0_1646935359, not 19.1
Or could you try NikGapps and tell us?
Thanks @djibe89 ! I went with NikGapps and that was a win.
It might be good to edit the top post to say 19.0 or have the NikGapps linked in it, for future readers.
Phone's working great. I appreciate it!

Hi, I'll update it.
I hoped a newer BitGapps update would be released by now.
Enjoy, this phone is awesome
Hey again!
Been daily driving this for a bit and here's a laundry list of the issues I see, in no order at all.
I'm not sure if they're Lineage issues or artifacts of being an "unsupported" Lineage build.
1. The screen just stays on despite the power save settings (I've tried 15s, 30s, you name it) if I'm on the home screen. Trebuchet, is it?
It's like it has some keep alive function a la YouTube. It's not 100% but it seems far more than 50% of the time that I have to manually lock the device. Anyone know if I've just configured something wrong or if this is how the launcher is supposed to work?
2. Phone services will not stop demanding my location, no matter what I configure. It's every few minutes and it's creeping me out a ton. Why is it so nosey?
3. The call audio quality is still barely usable. While I *can* have intelligible business conversations when required, they suffer the quality noticeably and are terribly robotic and tinny. For personal calls, I tried to play it off once but immediately was laughed out of the call: they asked before even a "how are you" could pass if we could switch to VoIP since it was so comically bad. After some kind tips from Ivan I tried mucking with the mixer levels to no avail. They did seem a bit "low" compared to the 18.1/19.0 values, so I pumped them in a couple places (NB volume from 22 to 32, call default volume on 917 from 98 to 164 -- I have no clue what any of these mean). It might be louder now? It's not worth an A/B test to confirm what should be the expectation, but my point is that it didn't fix the robotic, tinny quality.
4. Banking app complains of the device being rooted, but it isn't. "Great." I hear the latest Zygisk might fix? I haven't tried yet.
Now, I'm still excited to be on 12L! I'm trying to buff my ability to dev on this ROM and fix up some of these issues, as I really don't think this phone needs to be replaced yet, but being stuck on stock Oreo isn't working either, so I say let's hack this thing till it's stable as stock!
Hi @Bujiraso , thanks for sharing.
Didn't use it on a daily basis
Have you tried another launcher ?
I think bank apps detect custom ROM, nothing can be done. Hope I'm wrong. Some genius of signature spoofing can pass this I believe. But I'm not.

hi, is it possible for the model number SM-G9350

Hi, sadly no.
9350 and 9300 have Snapdragon SOCs, not Exynos.
Only Android 8 ROMs: https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-snapdragon-roms-kernels.5975/
Oh, ok. And is there any good custom rom for the SM-G9350 model?

Like you see here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-snapdragon-roms-kernels.5975/
No.
This happens with Qualcomm proprietary SOCs
