How easy would it be to compile a LineageOS 13 rom for this phone? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I'm looking to buy a cheap, but still good Android phone, and the Exynos Galaxy S7 fits the bill, but there's one small issue.
There's no LineageOS 13 roms, but I looked around, and discovered this page https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/herolte/build
It says you can only build off of a CyanogenMod 14.1 build, but that's Android 7.1.x, not 6.0.1.
Is it possible for someone like me with no experience to create something like this that doesn't exist?

A lot is possible if you want to put in the time and effort. Not sure why you need Android 6 though. Stock firmware was updated through 8.

Just want to use the CyanogenMod Theme Engine

Maybe port the features you want and not an entire OS build? Sometimes it isn't that hard to make something compile in a similar environment.

Samsung S 5 Kali Repo Nightly Bulds 4.4.4 & 5.x

Yes, I have been syncing the github repos for the Kali project nethunter, and I understand that not all people know how to compile their own code and make changes, would anyone be interested in me posting the updated flash-able files here so that you can download and use them? I will also be making a fork off their project to try and specialize in the S 5 hardware instead of nexus.
Thoughts are welcome and appreciated.

Forgive my ignorance, but just so I'm clear. Are you talking about making the individual apps available or porting the entire ROM over to the S5. If it's the entire ROM, I wouldn't think that the retail version of the Verizon S5 would be able to run it due to the locked bootloader, however the Developer's Edition may be able to. I think it's a pretty awesome idea, I've got Kali installed on a live Flash Drive that I use occasionally, and in fact, I think I still have an old version of BackTrack installed on an old laptop that's laying around. I've never used it as a main computer and only booted up to it when I had a specific need (or just had free time and wanted to sniff around to see what I could find), I mostly use it at work to try to test security features from time to time.
I'll have to read up on project nethunter but are people using it as a daily driver?

You are correct I would be talking about porting the actual entire project over to run on samsung devices. It already has limited samsung supoprt, it would be a matter of testing it and tuning it, testing it and tuning it, right now I currently have an s5 running Liquid Smooth 4.4.4 with Kali Linux as well as Lolli 5.0.1 with kali, and yes there are some errors and it needs to be modified but if there is enough interest I would have no problem branching off and working on this.

Sounds good, but sadly I won't be able to take advantage of it until someone is able to unlock the bootloader on the Verizon retail model. If you post this in the General S5 thread instead of the Verizon one (you may have, I didn't check), you'll probably get more of a response. Good luck!
On a side note, I downloaded one of the Nexus nethunter Roms and see there are some apk's, a nethunter.apk in particular but I'm guessing these are bound pretty tightly to the kernel and it would be foolish to install it on a ROM other than Kali, is that about right?

Just so you know, I am building these in linux but I am using them on my verizon stock samsung s5, I have made 4 builds so far, 2 which you flash over 4.4.4 or 5.x and then 2 that include the verizon Roms 4.4.4 and 5.1 with the nethunter project included. I don't have an "unlocked bootloader" as far as I know, and it is working for me.

Whhaaaatttttt, are you sure? You mentioned earlier that you running LiquidSmooth and as far as I know you must have an unlocked bootloader to install anything other than a TouchWiz based, Samsung signed Rom. If there's a method around this, please, do tell, but I'd guess you must have a different variant than the retail VZW S5. Does your model number read SM-G900V?
At any rate, if you running nethunter inside of a verizon ROM, I'd be interested in taking a look at it.
Bring it on. I'll try anything.

I amsure that I do not have an unlocked bootloader, I am going to take a picture of it right now, but just because a rom usually uses the aroma installer doesnt meaen you cant rebuild and change it. yes right now I can upload files for people to test, phone and everything works and this is basically ow it is going to work.
1. I can post files you flash over your favorite 4.4.4 version, or your favorite lollipop version, or if we can decide on the best roms to use this with, I can build the nethunter right into that rom so it would be a single flash.
Let me get some SS's of what I am running now, I was running LS3.2 before now I dont even know, I flash my phone more often then I change my underwear and I am so dedicated to programming I forget to make it to the potty alot. So think about that.. not to much but yeah. And a thumbs up if you can relate lol.
What would you like to see screenshots of? My upload scren, my status screen or if you would just like to pick your favorite 4.4.4 rom, like bob7 deox which is crazy small and light, then I will just compile them and upload them you can try them yourself. At most I just have to save the changes for the teensy style attacks and I had to make changes to how the wireless chipset responded to a monitor type mode.
Does anyone at all disagree with me using ExtremeSyndicate_v5_Deo_BOB7.zip for the simplicity of the install and I will build the nethunter software right into the flash, so that you can test.
Can someone explain in simple terms what is going on before I get my hopes up? Bc I'm reading we are able to flash custom roms over or retail locked verizon s5s? Or just apks? If we could use custom lollipop roms that would be amazing!!!
That's not a bad ROM to build it into. That or the oc4 factory by jkruse. Don't forget to ask the Dev first....

This sounds amazing if I understand right... We will be able to use custom roms on locked verizon galaxy s5? Just make sure you use a verizon based galaxy rom, but i think the one you mentioned above is good... This sounds amazing and feedback will be incredible from the locked verizon s5 population!
Edit: screen shots would be awesome, and maybe if your about phone section and some few pics of home screen, settings, notification panel.... thanks
A lollipop based liquidsmooth rom for our locked phones would be amazing!
Edit: I keep rereading over @rbgCODE 's posts and keep getting more excited! Running a custom lollipop Rom on this device? Holyyyyyy

Ok, I have them compiled and tested on my samsung s5, seems to be working well enough for some other people to try, I will be uploading 4 different versions.
4.4.4 Rom with nethunter built in
5.x Rom with nethunter buit in
4.4.4 nethunter flashable file to flash over your favorite kitkat rom
5.x nethunter flashable file to flash over your favorite Lollipop rom

I modified the liquid smooth repo and removed the aroma installer and made changes for personal use, I will get ahold of them and ask if they would have any problems with me forking off and finalizing a lilli version for handing out, just since it isnt my code just changes I made to it i want to get their permission first.

Our devices is dead??? No more rom support?

Hi, since Xiaomi decided to depreciate rom support for our mi4c, everyday i try to find a replacement firmware. But here is what i found: official lineage removed mi4c since april, last rom is 0209 because they no longer support 14.1 version. AICP lastest version is 2702, no longer update. There're many unofficial roms on 4pda, but all of them now have their support ended because the devs move to new devices. There's only Mokee that support nightly 9.0 and release 8.1 version everyday and monthly. I try to find something like "mi4c treble" but no hope, the repository is created but empty, not like mi4 that has unofficial treble support. Maybe i need to buy a new phone? But my phone is still in good condition with no problem so far... :crying::crying::crying:
Yeah, sad but true. I also gave up on new rom, so i still use the 15.1 LineageOS one (20180810). Good rom, no problems here, but wouldnt mind some security updates.
The phone works nicely though and apart from battery lasting a day, i dont see any problems. I guess we will have to move to new phone if we want to see some updates rom.
I resized device partition table in order to support android treble.
I will make custom recovery image which is support android treble.
Maybe our device is ready to support android treble by then
added
I made treble-enabled recovery image now and it works well.
I will release the solution soon.

/e/ is a fork of lineage and based on lineage 14.1 for our phone, with microg pre installed. They use a different default launcher, bliss
It works well and is easy to tweak if we dont like the launcher or default apps.
Anyway since our phone is no longer maintained i've decided to build lineage 14.1 for myself.
I'll do it once or twice a month when there are updates.

Mokee have a good android 9 ROM, been using it for months and no issues:

Also WJXXBSH recently published new Lineage 16 and even 17! https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=299149
I have not tried it yet, but at least WJXXBSH is keeping our device live.
how about lineage 16 from havoic 3.1 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/havoc-os/files/libra/)
At least it work fine for me on mi4c

Android Commission Work?

Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit (SGH-T599N) that I would like to repurpose and use for a type of iPod. My only issues are that it can only run upto Android Marshmallow (6.0) I am digging around in this community to try and find someone to build a more recent version of Twrp and an updated rom with most everything working. I am hoping this will be affordable. I am willing to give payment for this build of both Twrp and the Android OS if it is not possible to get at least 8.0 Oreo on it then I will take my sites elsewhere and use a different device. Thanks to all! Please let me know if you're interested.

IN2013 - latest update just killed my phone, should I downgrade or use a custom rom?

Hey~
So its been a while since I've updated my device to android 12, build number IN2013_11_C.16
and its just buggy in basically any aspect, making the phone very annoying to use
When I was on android 11, the phone was perfect and everything worked fine.
What would be the best approach? I use banking apps and Gpay daily in my everyday life so its very important
Rolling back to android 11 - if that's possible (?) would be my best option original rom will keep the google pay and banking apps working right>?
If rolling back to previous firmware is not possible then
Using a custom rom with Gapps could work? - I think I've seen somewhere lineage os with Gmicro apps, will it work with Gpay since its not an "original" rom ?
Really appreciate the help guys, its been a few years since I've played with phones firmware and as I can see stuff' changed.
If you've never flashed a custom ROM, I would recommend you just roll back to Android 11.
Luckily, Oneplus offers an official package that let's you downgrade back to Android 11 from C.16.
THIS is the official Oneplus thread for the C.16 update. On that page, there is a .zip package you can install to rollback to Android 11. The page also includes pretty detailed instructions, pretty easy to follow.
On that forum post, look for the section "Rollback guide—via Local OTA update"
If you want to try a custom ROM though, I recommend HavocOS for Android 11, or Nameless AOSP for Android 12. Those are the best ROMs in their respective category in my opinion. AICP also looks promising it needs a few fixes but I believe in our savior semdoc

Lineage OS 18.x

Hope this is a good place to ask. I had to get the old Oneplus 7 pro back and Renovate ICE is pretty much dead. I'm not sure if I want to go all the way to Android 12, since I think Oneplus only had it up to 11. On the downloads for Lineage OS though, they only go back to version(s) 19.x which is Android 12.
Help a brother out anybody?
Thanks.

Lineage OS 20, based on Android 13, was only released last month. Give it some time.

I'm looking for version 18.x of Lineage OS which is based upon Andriod 11. It is a custom ROM for the Oneplus 7 pro.

Yes, it looks like they now only support 19.1 and 20 on that device. All 18.1 links are dead.

Part of the reason people install custom ROMs is to extend the support for their device.

True, but without an actual working stock ROM with the actual Android version you want to build for the device, you can no longer extract the /vendor files which leads to some things not working properly. So it's, "Hey look, I've got a version of Android on this phone you won't" with the qualifier "And everything works." Meaning it is a port. I've been using customer ROMS on all my Android phones for about 12 years or so now started with the Droid A855. Hell I used to flash different firmware on the old flip phones before.
And the whole reason for this thread is what you said. There appears to be no links for version earlier than 19.x, so I asked hopping that maybe someone had one laying around they could share or knew of a mirror or other link. I used to save and host lots and lots of ROMs on my personal server and used to link those repositories in my sig here and many other places.
So thank you for your replies.
