Reporting Bugs
DO NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel or you installed Xposed
Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
If it is a random reboot, grab /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops and /sys/fs/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

Thanks for the ROM!
Just installed the 20201003 build and it flawlessly so far.
Just a quick question, I can't seem to delete the search widget in the default launcher (quickstep), are there any way to delete it?
Also there are no "Advanced restart" option anymore, is there a way to have a reboot to recovery/bootloader entry in the new Android 11 power menu?

Launcher customizations aren't brought up yet thus search bar is stuck there for time being.

Power menu additions aren't brought up either.

Hello. Does the rom have signiture spoofing?
Gapps Not working
LineageOS version: 18.0
LineageOS Download url: First one I can`t submit the post with the link, this is the version: lineage-18.0-20201016_012612-UNOFFICIAL-kirin.zip
Gapps version: Here is where the issue occurs. None of the Gapps found here, and in first pages in Google by searching "Lineage OS 18 gapps" or either "Android 11 gapps" ever worked on Lineage OS 18.
I flashed with TWRP (I tried also with the Lineage OS recovery but I know that Gapps are not signed and return error from there) Immediately after a clean installation of Lineage OS 18 and wipe, All Open Gapps versions found, BitApps, NikApps and others came with error code 20, error code 70 (I tried with resizing the partition, switching slots, did not work) or fatal error. I managed to flash some of them successfully but they never showed up after turning on the phone.
Everything else except Gapps working as expected until now.
The same kernel is used as for Lineage OS 17.1 that was previously used with a working OpenGapps flash.
The phone version is Xperia 10 I4113, no modifications were made, just Unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery, Flashed Lineage OS 18 and Flashed all versions of Gapps with no success.
In case you`ve tested and got Gapps successfully after installing the rom share this version with us so we can flash it and use the ROM for daily routines by continue testing.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Did you actually reboot recovery between installing rom and gapps?

Yes, I did that multiple times during all night long with many different Gapps versions and reboots of the recovery between ROM flashing and Gapps.
If it is possible to provide a Download URL with Gapps version that has been tested on your end by this way after ROM flashes and it works that will be highly appreciated.
I`ve switched back in 17.1 twice by installing Gapps without issues.
I am currently using the ROM without Gapps so I can wipe and trigger a new flash of Gapps from the recovery, but none of the versions I already tried ever showing up or complete installation.
Thank you for your time and support.

Yes, exactly I am using adb to flash the ROM first, then flash TWRP recovery via fastboot and then flashing gapps via adb from TWRP recovery again by repeating this order in every gapps version which does not take effect or return error 20 or error 70 (open gapps) and fatal error for NikApps.
If it is important I am using MacOS, but we tried from Windows ADB once without much of success.

Currently I can not remember if BitApps version or NikApps returned the error, but the error said that this version is not compatible and the flash just stopped with general error in TWRP recovery log. One of them returned the error, the other one has completed but nothing has showed up after booting to the OS.
I am in the office right now and did not get the cable but if you have suggestions on specific versions of gapps that you think are working, I will try to flash each one by following your instructions tomorrow night after work and provide you with feedback of screenshot of TWRP recovery log for every single gapps package.
If there is a version which you know that can go thru the security signing check from Lineage recovery I can try to flash it from the sdcard right away.

I just want to let you know that this version worked as expected. I have no explanation but probably I did something wrong with the slots. Thanks. I will keep you posted in case of a bug found. However Gapps required TWRP, Lineage recovery does not install gapps due Signing request error.
Bugs Report
I would like to come up with a short report of what did not work with the rom for a few weeks of using.
Actually almost everything works except two main functions.
1. Wi - Fi HotSpot do not work. It shows up but when you connect from another device there is no internet connection. 4G has been established on LineageOS but do not reach the external device via Wi - Fi hot spot.
2. Google accuracy location service does not work, GPS works only when you stay outside. I do not know if it is related to GApps or Rom backend. If you run an app that requires location services will run only outside which is a quite too bad.
That's it for now. Hope it helps.

Gotcha. Thanks.
has anyone had any luck getting magisk 21.1 to work with this rom and twrp yet?
im going round in circles trying to root after updating. i can install magisk from twrp, but i end up in a bootloop, then installing the bootloop fix from twrp wipes magisk and breaks root.
i know 21.1 is a beta and likely doesnt support sony phones yet, but someone might have a fix.
EDIT: I have root working now. Anyone having trouble, DONT install twrp to ramdisk. just leave the lineageOS recovery in place and use fastboot on a pc to boot twrp when you need it.
I did the following:
1. fresh stock firmware via newflash
2.flash sony software binaries for a11
3. fastboot boot twrp.img
4.swap to partition b
5. power off
6. fastboot boot twrp.img (check you are booted to partition b)
7. flash lineageos 18
8.reboot select partition a and POWER OFF
9. fastboot boot twrp.img
10. check partition is a
11. flash copy partition.zip
12. flash magisk 21.1.zip
13. flash nikGapps basic for a11
14. reboot system
15. install magiskmanager 8.0.3.apk
16. reboot
17. update your apps on playstore.
18. PROFIT.

Which package is it you use?
If I flash the Gapps, Lineage can't boot into system and asks for a factory reset.
I'm following the steps exactly as they're described.
Am I missing something?
Just installed it. Was some effort, coming from SailfishX.
Had to install Sony binaries first, then get the latest TWRP (old one gave me errors, the provided one in this post as well). After that installed NikGapps (Gapps or open Gapps do not work I think). Was up till 3am
Got some problems though:
Cannot enable wifi.
Does not detect cellular network at all?
GUI stopped working error at every boot (works after clicking at away).
Settings stopped responding when I click network.
Fingerprint does not seem to be working? Do I need a specifiek Gapps version for that?
Can you tell me what the camera mod does? I do not see any difference?
Thanks for the effort this far!
Edit: I seem to be missing the firmware alltogether. Any ideas how to fix this?
⚠ This project is no longer maintained. See below. ⚠
You are encouraged to migrate to the official nightly builds (huge thanks to @anishpratheepan and to the LOS team for bringing that up). If you update from an unofficial build, it is highly recommended that you opt-in for build signature check after the flash:
Open Settings
Privacy => Trust
Check "Build signature" at the very bottom
Note that you should be able to update from unofficial to official builds seamlessly, without wiping anything.

I don't have GApps myself and I don't want to flash them on my personal device. I'm fine with adding a link in the original post provided that one or two person can confirm it works and provide instructions. I think NikGApps are the best candidate.

Fair enough. Thank you for bringing this to the op8 community.
I made an attempt to bundle OpenGApps into the build: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1edechrEwpX5L5SjE6OlsAjRckT-UF69t/view (using https://github.com/opengapps/aosp_build). It bootlooped on my device but I suspect that's because it requires a factory reset which I didn't want to do. Flashing instructions are identical, just make sure you have flashed OOS 11 at some point. If that happens to work for some of you, I'll try to publish both flavors with every release.

"Flash OOS 11 at some point"
What about upgrading from 17.1 ?
Also - Why no OOS 10 - 18.1?

LOS builds only contain a few subset of all the partitions that exist on the OP8 (system, boot, product, dtbo, and some others). The OP8 also contains a lot of other proprietary partitions (ABL, AOP, bluetooth, modem, etc…) that only the manufacturer is able to provide updates for. As far as I understand, those blobs must also be updated to be able to run Android 11 without issues. If you don't update them, it'll likely bootloop or refuse to boot and it's not recommended anyways.
I'm not sure upgrading from 17.1 to 18.1 without wiping is even possible, but if you want to give it a shot, I think your best bet is to extract all the proprietary images from a recent OOS build, then flash them and flash LOS 18.1 over that. You may avoid the annoying MSM step, but my bet is that you'll have to wipe anyways if you want to boot, so I strongly advise that your backup all your data and apps before. In deeper details, you need to :
- get a recent and official OOS 11 build from here : https://www.oneplus.com/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1586920535300
- extract the payload.bin from the image using a tool like this one : https://github.com/LineageOS/scripts/blob/master/update-payload-extractor/extract.py
- reboot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)
- flash the stock recovery you just extracted (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
- reboot into stock fastboot (fastboot reboot fastboot)
- flash all the blobs you just extracted (fastboot flash abl abl.img && fastboot flash aop aop.img && fastboot flash bluetooth bluetooth.img && ………)
- follow LOS 18.1 flashing instructions from the first post

Yes I agree here.
I and need step by step exact instructions how to flash any rom here.
I am not even gonna try to flash this rom because I know my device is gonna end up at the Qualcomm dump mode.
I can't get anything booted if I flash anything coming from OOS11, don't ask because I have no idea why.
The only way to get my device booting stock rom at this point is to flash stock rom in EDL mode with the msm tool

Inspected 2020.06.18
As TWRP isn't working completely is there way to do the equivalent full system backup with all partitions without TWRP perhaps via fastboot? Because I know I'm not gonna be able to flash a rom its gonna be the same story over and over again setting up the same stock rom over again ..it gets old.
Because custom software for OnePlus 8 is not at the stage of flash and forget I think a unified toolkit in a zip is needed.
It can be separate or bundled with each rom release and regularly updated that I can extract and cd into, and run the fastboot commands from to help making flashing roms and debug as accurate as we possibly can starting with all of us using the same exact toolkit to begin with.
Driver used
Developer framework ie fastboot, adb executable
Payload dumper
Readme File
Bat/sh file for automation
perhaps payload/img files
bundled with rom Gapps with dev, flavor and release because this seem to be subject to not booting
This would make sure everyone is 100% following the same exact instructions making debugging much easier, in this case it seem like gapps one piece of the puzzle possibly preventing rom from booting, in my case I'm can't even make it to square one getting stuck at Qualcomm dump mode..

LOS builds only contain a few subset of all the partitions that exist on the OP8 (system, boot, product, dtbo, and some others). The OP8 also contains a lot of other proprietary partitions (ABL, AOP, bluetooth, modem, etc…) that only the manufacturer is able to provide updates for. As far as I understand, those blobs must also be updated to be able to run Android 11 without issues. If you don't update them, it'll likely bootloop or refuse to boot and it's not recommended anyways. I'm not sure upgrading from 17.1 to 18.1 without wiping is even possible, but if you want to give it a shot, I think your best bet is to extract all the proprietary images from a recent OOS build, then flash them and flash LOS 18.1 over that. You may avoid the annoying MSM step, but my bet is that you'll have to wipe anyways if you want to boot, so I strongly advise that your backup all your data and apps before. In deeper details, you need to : - get a recent and official OOS 11 build from here : https://www.oneplus.com/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1586920535300 - extract the payload.bin from the image using a tool like this one : https://github.com/LineageOS/scripts/blob/master/update-payload-extractor/extract.py - reboot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader) - flash the stock recovery you just extracted (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) - reboot into stock fastboot (fastboot reboot fastboot) - flash all the blobs you just extracted (fastboot flash abl abl.img && fastboot flash aop aop.img && fastboot flash bluetooth bluetooth.img && ………) - follow LOS 18.1 flashing instructions from the first post

Good information, I didn't finish my reply during breakfast and noticed you wrote one more.
The only thing I am not comfortable with is that there are links to tools that I have to download from the internet.
Its one factor subject to being sourced from random google searches.
Like the fastboot binary from xda although old doesn't work on op8, I found out the hard way and I am now downloading this directly from Android developer page.
But a lot of headache could be eliminated trying to figure out where and which binaries should be used, what work and what does not.
Is fastboot/adb bundle too old or driver not installed?
Did all of us follow the exact same installation steps in detail the rom developer did?
I hope you understand.

Yes I agree here.
I and need step by step exact instructions how to flash any rom here.
I am not even gonna try to flash this rom because I know my device is gonna end up at the Qualcomm dump mode.
I can't get anything booted if I flash anything coming from OOS11, don't ask because I have no idea why.
The only way to get my device booting stock rom at this point is to flash stock rom in EDL mode with the msm tool

I don't have a definitive answer to everything, but here are some remarks:
- Not sure what exactly your problems were and I'm unaware of any way to backup partitions using fastboot unfortunately. As far as I know, it was not possible to restore nandroid backups using mauronofrio's TWRP on Android 10 either. I think the best you can achieve for now is software and data backup (using "adb pull" and "OAndBackup+" or something else). I can also attest that I had way more weird partitioning issues when using TWRP than LOS' fastboot. Since I stopped using TWRP, I never had to use MSM again.
- What you may attempt to reduce the risk of bricking your device is to take advantage of the A/B partitioning. You can flash everything on the unused slot and switch back to the working slot if anything goes wrong. This can be done by running "fastboot getvar current-slot" to get the current slot, then "fastboot --set-active=a" to switch to slot a (or "fastboot --set-active=b" to switch to slot b, depending on which slot was active).
- I second your reluctance on using tools coming from untrusted sources. Please, don't get fastboot/adb from XDA, use the official Android builds. I can't help you regarding the drivers as I use Linux which ships with drivers, but if you use Windows try to get those drivers from either Microsoft, OnePlus or Qualcomm directly. My instructions to avoid flashing Android 11 with MSM makes you use an official image from OnePlus (which you have to trust anyways) + an open-source tool that's made by LOS developers (which you have to trust anyways). At this point, I think the weakest point of trust if you don't want to build LOS yourself is me.
- Regardless of what you attempt, always make sure you have backups of your valuable data, apps and persist partition. Especially given how capricious this device is .

There's a lot of proprietary software/firmware (apart from the camera apk itself) that its not included in LOS. There have been some ports in the past (e.g. OnePlus6 OOS Camera port or oxy-ify) but all of them seem dead, maybe because google camera port working out of the box.
Creating a magisk module should be doable, but you need to start the app, let it crash and add the missing dep N times until you have all of them
@LuK1337 , please accept pull request: https://github.com/luk1337/android_kernel_oneplus_sm8250/pull/1

Face unlock is an OxygenOS feature and I don't think AOSP or LineageOS supports something like that officially as it's quite terrible security-wise. GApps also dropped support for face unlock in Android 10 because of security concerns. So unless I'm missing something it probably won't happen anytime soon unless through some third-party module, sorry. It's not just about porting some blobs, it's a whole new OS feature.

I'm sorry but LineageOS does not provide any officially-supported way to bypass SafetyNet restrictions. Please look into third-party solutions for that.
I happened to install the last unofficial LOS (lineage-18.1-20210308) on a new phone an hour before this was released. I have everything setup and installed, safetynet passes etc etc, is it worth upgrading to this? Are there any big differences?
Also, is it possible to use twrp with this or lineage-18.1-20210308?
Thanks.

The unofficial build will still be updated, but if you don't need microG it might be a better idea to switch to the official build for more timely updates and official guarantees. Of course, to switch to the official build, you have to wipe all data and start over.
I have no experience with TWRP on Pixel 4a.

hi,
first of all, i want to thank you very much for your hard work on this rom. I have installed it yesterday and it runs perfectly showing almost 50% battery life increase and much better performance comparing to stock. I just noticed one strange thing: I can not monitor the kernel wakelocks using BBS as well as GSAM Battery monitor utilities. Both got root permission but don't show Kernel Wakelocks at all. Do you have any idea what could be the reason? I can access the /sys/kernel/debug fs, but don't see anything helpful in logcat...
Does the "Show battery percentage in status bar" works for anyone?

It replaces many of LOS stock apps and stuff... So download omni variant, extract and edit nikgapps config file ( It is self understandable when you open and read it.. basically change variable from 1 to 0 which affect LOS framework and default apps like dialer etc...)... Again zip them and now sideload... It should work fine...

1. extract the boot from LOS payload.bin
2. install Magisk 22 by patching the extracted boot image
3. hide the magisk from: google play store, play services, gpay, clear data for all these apps.
4. install magisk module safetynet-fix-v1.1.1.zip
5. reboot
Firstly, I want to thank the Lineage team and those who accompany our device.
I have been using this firmware since April 1 and have not seen any particular problems. However, it lacks some features that were in the RR 8 - a charging indicator when displaying a textual charge level, an extended reboot menu (recovery and bootloader). Or maybe I didn't find it =)
And as far as I understand it is now impossible to update LOS 18.1 via OTA, but only through recovery?

Anyone coming off the unofficial build... tips? I nuked everything: went back to stock, flashed Lineage recovery, wiped/data reset, flashed zip, rebooted to recovery, then flashed MindTheGapps as OpenGapps won't install due to a version mismatch. Been stuck on the boot screen for eons.
Went back and repeated the process only to still be stuck on boot screen. Is there any log I can record/provide to figure out what's going on?

Now, click the button that the onscren instructions coorelate to “Continue” and/or “Unlock Bootloader”.
Your device will reboot, you may now unplug the USB cable from your device.
The device will demand you format userdata, please follow the onscreen instructions to do so.
Run through Android Setup skipping everything you can, then connect the device to a Wi-Fi network.
Re-enable Development settings by clicking the “Build Number” option 10 times, in the “Settings” app within the “About” menu, and verify that “OEM Unlock” is still enabled in the “Developer options” menu.
Installing LineageOS for the first time
Flash lineage recovery
Only the provided lineage recovery will be supported,
using TWRP might result in a possible data loss!!
If using Odin rename the lineage recovery image for your model to recovery.img and add it to a .tar archive using e.g 7zip.
If using Heimdall use: heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img --no-reboot
Boot lineage recovery
IMPORTANT: Do not boot into system again before booting recovery, or system will restore stock recovery!
If using Odin untick auto-reboot before flashing.
After flashing reboot by pressing Volume Down and Power for approximately 7 seconds,
immediately hold Volume Up and Power to boot recovery
IMPORTANT: As of OneUI 3 your device needs to be connected to a PC via USB cable in order to be able to
boot recovery via Volume Up, Bixby and Power.
Factory reset using Factory reset -> Format data/factory reset
Warning: Unlike TWRP this will also erase internal storage!
Sideload LineageOS by enabling sideload via Apply Update -> Apply from ADB
Then run adb sideload <path to your lineage.zip> on your PC
Optional:
Sideload GApps and magisk by repeating above step
with their zip/apk
Magisk
As this ROM has a working ramdisk sideloading the magisk apk is enough, just as it is
on every other device, no bootimage with magisk included or installing to recovery is needed!
Features
SELinux enforcing
AES-256-XTS FBE encryption
Latest Linux 4.14.x kernel

Hello,
Stuck at boot screen.
after side-loading the zip as well as MindTheGapps (x64 version).
Mind you I also added FDroid because I wasn't sure if it's included. Was that bad?
files used were:
"lineage-18.1-20210611-recovery-beyond0lte.img" (of course renamed and .tar'ed flashed with odin)
"lineage-18.1-20210611-UNOFFICIAL-beyond0lte.zip"
"MindTheGapps-11.0.0-arm64-20210412_124247.zip"
"F-Droid.apk" (most recent version)
I have attached a pic of the boot screen just do be clear what I mean. Pressing "vol down + power" does reboot(cannot even turn it off) however neither "vol up + bixby" nor "vol down + bixby" has any effect so I cannot access the phone via heimdall, odin, ADB or fastboot.
are there any options left to try or do I own a shiny new paperweight?`
any help is appreciated.

Also if BL splash is still shown I'm quite sure you can still enter DL mode ... just keep in mind your phone needs to be connected to a PC in order for it to work (force reboot and immediately press and hold combination for DL mode while it's connected to a PC)

Thanks for your quick response anyway.
I did the installation by sideload (ROM + Gapps) but when "trying to boot" the device returns to the DL screen.
even restarting to exit the DL screen, the device insists on returning to it.

I don't include out-of-tree patches, sorry
However in my S10 Series thread there's another solution for this one
Anyways, read the OP, download links are taken down temporarily as some users apparently had problems with getting it to boot
Will be up again next week hopefully (will get a device myself by that time)
Fixed builds are now up
Hi I am new here, I have two questions:
1. Installing using twrp is: just wipe internal storage and install file?
2. Why zipfile from Ivan's version is like ~1,2gb and this .bin file is only ~700MB?

1. Do not use TWRP (read the instructions in post #2!) it will eventually corrupt your data when using encryption which we do here
Use lineage recovery instead
2. I only have the proprietary blobs from stock that are *actually needed* probably it's different in ivan's ROM
Also it's a zip too idk why you say it's a ".bin"

@Linux4
I managed to install your version, its more stable than ivans version so thank you man great job, on ivans version had microphone issues and telephoto2x did not work, this one feels very good and probably usable as a daily driver phone..
I have a question for you, is there a way to add option in settings that blocks notification&quick-access-tiles from being accessed from locked screen?
And S-pen question: is there a way to make keyboard appear when I tap whit S-pen on txt field (it puts cursor there but keyboard does not apper until I tap there with finger.)
@Linux4
I notice S-pen issue, aside from seeing this icon when hovering over clickable button there are scrolling issues, something like one in four attemps fails to regognize gesture, you can open gsmarena.com a try scrolling there and it is very unrelialable and often instead of scroll it taps on some link over there, I tried ivans version and this issue wasnt there, (the hand logo also wasnt there) so maybe you can somehow take S-pen module from him, probably after that this build will be 99.9% complete

You know that both this and the other keyboard thing aren't even really device specific issues (actually rather stylus specific, it's the same on another device with SPen I have)?
It's just that AOSP doesn't have good support for these pens, they're basically handled like a mouse
Scrolling is fine for me on my own device tho and I do not get that hand icon (which is due to it being a "mouse") on the post reply button (tho in some other places I do get it)
I'm going to mess with that stuff in the future maybe

Yea you are right, I did pay closer attention to S-pen behavior and you are right, it is basicaly a mouse.. And issue solved, had magnetic case and that messed up S-pen behavior..
I am deleting this guide since M12 will soon recieve an unofficial build of LineageOS 19.1. Don't ask when, as I'm not the lead developer but I helped with it
Update 1: I figured out how to make script run on boot. Instructions revised. If you followed earlier check them again
Update 2: Magisk 24.1 is now stable. Instructions revised.
Update 3: I contacted phh and he implemented the script inside his trebleapp. Instructions revised and modified trebleapp is attached. NOTE: GSIs newer than 7/Feb/2022 will include this workaround by default.
Update 4: This guide is now unnecessary now that unofficial LineageOS is very close to release

In short, I've successfully done flashing of @phhusson's latest version of Android 12 GSI (which is v402 as of today). To do this, I needed to modify the multidisabler script so it won't disable FBE, format the userdata using the stock recovery, flash TWRP, resize tmpfs to proper size, push GSI image into tmpfs and flash it using TWRP. I used the securized image with vndklite variant, since there was no securized images for regular vndk releases (but it seemed that vndk was working better for me, at least I have no USB connection anymore where with VNDK I was able to have USB debugging). Maybe I'll try re-flashing it once I'll patch the regular images and securize them (since I'm on *nix, I can just mount them and modify their contents) and take an approach of finding how Samsung ROMs are working OK. For now, I need to take a break from all bootloops I had in the process of FBE flashing .
Anyway, the goal of this experiment was to use GSI ROMs as a daily driver and having FBE disabled could otherwise cause a serious problem on device loss.
So, onto the list what's been tested (that wasn't noted before):
Screen locking – it seems that the workaround for the screen is not applied before unlocking the phone, probably because the app is not running yet. This might work with the script used as postfs module.
EDIT: I've found some notes in the Magisk documentation that both post-fs data and late_start services are run after data is decrypted, which basically means applying this workaround using Magisk seems to be pointless for now (maybe not after PPH app will stop providing the workaround)... Probably the best option would be patching the ROM itself, either with flashable ZIPs or directly before flashing it (most GSIs can be mounted under Linux and tweaked).
Adaptive brightness – not working, since all virtual sensors are not working for now. Might be easy to fix through as I've found some stuff in the official ROM that I had an idea to experiment with putting them into GSIs (as a Magisk module, to avoid a breakage).
USB – as I said, a data transfer via USB is not working for me for some reason. It worked for me once I had VNDK Android 12 GSI installed (same version).
Booting with stock kernel – I had some successful attempts doing that, but it further was a cause of a bootloop, at least once I had installed Magisk. Therefore, I'll recommend patching the Magisk the way as in tutorial (after patching the kernel) to have everything working for now.
For people who wants to play with stock images but don't know how: you can use simg2img, lpunpack and Linux to extract and mount the official ROM image in approach of finding there some tips like in initrc services why some stuff is working fine on Samsung while it doesn't on GSIs. Maybe I would tinker with it a bit, trying to export a few services and libraries in an approach to create a Magisk module with all stuff needed to have a fully functional GSI, but I'm tired of modding for now, especially when this is my first Samsung phone I had to deal with.
Edit: Typo fixes, added additional text formatting.
Amazing work. If you need testers feel free to PM me. As a sidenote, poking in sysfs led me to believe that android is sending the info needed to read the proximity but the kernel is sending garbage which gets interpreted as the sensor not being triggered. Also phh should have added the workaround into his trebleapp starting from phh AOSP 12 v401, so aside from installing magisk no post install workarounds should be needed.
Attached is a photo of what cmd_result reads when a whatsapp voice message is played which reads proximity to play the message in the earpiece and turn screen off when proximity is triggered

Unfortunately, the commit was reverted as of master branch, so we should prepare for it to stop to work unless phh will work on it before releasing an another version. Also I wrote that the workaround didn't seem to apply itself before unlocking the phone (FBE encrypted) the first time and therefore decrypting sensitive data after boot. For now this makes it an requirement when using PHH app to unlock the phone before it sleeps so the touch is going to be responsive.
Anyway, it seems that even Magisk (v24.1) is not capable of running the services before data is decrypted, so now I have no idea how to bypass that in other way than patching the ROM itself and creating the `initrc` service... Anyway, this is also a hint that what samsung is doing starts before basically everything, so no APK file nor script is going to really fix it since they are meant to start after data is decrypted...

I guess for now we have two options:
A: Build custom kernel/vendor specifically for GSIs that correctly reports sensors as GSIs expect them to
B: Fix GSI issues through Magisk services implementing various workarounds in scripts. (an example is the touchscreen sleep/wake issue)

Also that's interesting those virtual sensors are still present, I personally thought that Samsung made it the way there's an virtual device create as on Linux and there's their proprietary software running somewhere in the system that uses the camera as an input and calculates it to provide the data... On the other hand, when I think about that logic, even some (if not all) virtual devices on Linux (e.g. v4l2loopback) needs to have their module loaded with the kernel to work. I'm glad at least there's no need to reinvent the wheel and no one really needs to recreate the entire algorithm for it if it's going to be in the kernel sources...

I feel like the B option is worse than patching the GSI ROMs, either via flashable ZIPs or on your own... This is because I couldn't find anything in docs that would let me run services before /data is going to be decrypted... Personally, I've made myself a such service using the statically-compiled Linux ARM binary (non-NDK, using GNU libs – yes, it is still runnable on Android as well) – it applies the workaround for now both when screen is turned on and off (I had no idea on which event it should really run, so I made it to run on both just to be safe) by watching the file changes based on (AFAIK) filesystem events – so it has a major advantage over your script, as it won't run in endless loop, yet watch the file responsible for brightness to change and then do its job. But even with that, TSP doesn't seem to make touch available immediately and it is still expected to be revived after 1-2 seconds.
Also, as of the methods of applying these workarounds, the other way could be modifying the ramdisk (maybe with the help of Magisk, which I believe has documented how it's actually doing it itself and how others could modify the root and init as Magisk does to load files before the OS will properly initalize itself. Yet I don't like an idea of messing myself with the boot partition, at least for now...
Debug info: I tried flashing stock to grab logs from the touchscreen driver. The logs attached here do not appear at all on an unpatched GSI (I.E flashing the GSI as is without any touch workaround).

Hi, I installed LineageOS 18.1 GSI on my M127F. I want to share my guide to installing this GSI.
Code:
DISCLAIMER:
By following this guide you accept that you
may do irreversible damage to your phone.
If something breaks the responsibility is
yours only. If you want stable software that
is guaranteed to work 100% don't follow
this guide.
I assume you are running a fully stock system and and locked bootloader and firmware U3/U4.
Installing TWRP and custom kernel
Enable Developer Options by tapping on software information > build number 7 times
Enter developer options then toggle OEM Unlocking on.
Power off your phone.
Hold Vol Up + Vol Down then plug in your phone to enter download mode
THIS WILL ERASE ALL YOUR DATA AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY. Follow on screen instructions to unlock your bootloader. THIS WILL ERASE ALL YOUR DATA AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY
After this you want to download and install attached Orangefox recovery using odin. After odin is done flashing enter recovery
Format data (not wipe) in recovery
Enter terminal and type multidisabler twice
Reboot to system and verify that under security encryption is disabled
Download TWRP and custom kernel for your phone
Reboot into recovery and locate the downloaded twrp image
Select recovery.
Reboot into recovery
Install kernel, then wipe cache and reboot. You should now see that it is complaining about some internal issue. This is normal.
Installing the GSI
Download your favorite ROM from the list provided below. You want to install an arm64 a/b image.
Extract the image file
Reboot to recovery.
Select install then install image
Locate the GSI image
Select install system
After that is done return to recovery and select factory reset.
Reboot then do setup (if applicable) then download attached magisk and phh trebleapp. If your phone is stuck on bootanimation check under to fix it.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT LET THE SCREEN TURN OFF OR YOU WILL HAVE TO REBOOT TO MAKE TOUCH WORK AGAIN.
Install attached magisk
Open magisk and click on install then direct install
Download and install the attached phh-treble app apk.
Touch should now work. Enjoy your GSI.
Extras
Magisk 24.1
Open Magisk
Go to settings
Update Magisk Manager app to version 24.1
Relaunch Magisk then install magisk
Choose direct instal
Migrating to patched trebleapp
Download and install attached trebleapp
Open your root file manager
go to /data/adb/service.d
Delete the script you added earlier
Tips in case things don't work
In case after rebooting to the GSI the phone bootloops:
Download stock image from wherever you download your firmware (I use a python program called samloader)
Extract the AP of the downloaded firmware
Find userdata.img.lz4 and create a .tar archive only containing this file
Reboot to download mode
In odin select AP then locate the newly created .tar archive Then click on flash
Reboot
Continue from step 7 under the "Installing the GSI" portion of the guide
To revive the touchscreen using ADB:
In case you didn't grant adb root access but installed magisk, run adb shell then su. A root access for the app shell will appear. Grant root permission
Plug in phone to a computer with ADB
adb shell
su
cat /sys/class/sec/tsp/cmd_result
echo check_connection > /sys/class/sec/tsp/cmd
What works:
Boots
RIL
Fingerprint
Main rear camera
Front camera
Sleep/Wake (workaround in steps above, may need to sleep wake several times before it works)
WiFi
Flashlight
Rotation
Magisk 24
90Hz (M12 only. A12 doesn't have 90Hz refresh rate)
LineageOS 18.1
LineageOS 19
CAOS (GApps variant available)
phh AOSP 11 v313
phh AOSP 12 v400h
Untested
GPS
Flashing GApps. (I use fdroid and aurora store on LineageOS and CAOS has built in GApps)
USB-OTG
A127F
M127G
If I didn't list it under broken or working I didn't try it or forgot to test it.
Broken
Double tap to wake. Touchscreen turns off and I have no idea how to keep it alive while lcd is off
MTP
Virtual Proximity. Screen will stay on in phone calls and WhatsApp will always play voice messages through speaker
Flashlight brightness. Flashlight will always stay on weakest brightness with no way to adjust.
Adaptive refresh. The framerate you set in phh addons is what you get. Be prepared for slightly reduced battery.
You tell me (even though I probably don't have the solution)
Bugs
You may need to wait a little bit before touchscreen responds or sleep/wake several times before screen responds after turning the screen off

Great guide.
Well done
Thanks for the great guide. Unfortunately, I don't know how to resize tmpfs. Can anybody tell me how to do that? I only have 4 GB or less on my Samsung Galaxy A12 with 64 GB of Storage (it should have, it only shows something like 3 or 4 gigabytes like I mentioned)

You don't have to resize TMPFS if you don't want to have FBE encryption or have the external SD card (you can use microSD for flashing, which might be a better choice if you need to flash a larger devices). Also you can't resize TMPFS to 64 GB, it uses your RAM to store regular data instead of storage (this is basically the concept of TMPFS). What I was mentioning is that /data won't work under FBE and custom recoveries for now, so you need to use your RAM instead if you don't have any external storage device to save images somewhere via ADB.
As of resizing the TMPFS, you should be able to find some Linux tutorial how to do that, on Android this is works basically the same (even on both Linux and Android you have /tmp directory with TMPFS by default).
Anyway, I've decided to share some stuff that you may need for that. Here's the multidisabler script I was using for flashing GSIs with FBE encryption preserved. I was also working on the native binary that would work as the workaround for the touchscreen so it can be used instead of the script. The advantages are that it actually listens to filesystem events and therefore does not need to read file in loop in order to get the information if brightness has changed. Maybe I'll share it with you once I find it to be ready, right now I'll just share my multidisabler script with patches.
BTW, I've tested LineageOS GSIs (both 11 and 12) and noticed they behave completely different, no matter of variant (the USB actually uses some driver, which is not fully compatible with M12 but close enough to provide basic communication through ADB). I guess pphusson just changed something and now these drivers aren't applied by default, yet I think I've noticed the issues with Bluetooth's HSP/HFP profiles which as I remember was not the case with latest stable pphusson's vanilla Android 12 GSIs. Now I just hope these problems are going to be resolved in the next builds of Android's GSIs with phhusson's patches and with the knowledge that MTP just worked fine on TWRP I used, there's a little hope that we will gain the proper combination of drivers/firmware to have both USB and Bluetooth functional at the same time someday.
I've also approached patching the kernel under newer kernel base 4.19.112, yet I gave up on properly resolving its conflicts. I may work on that as well in order to patch some vulnerabilities, with a hope that I'll succeed updating kernel as closest to the latest patch as possible. The 4.19.112 is going to be just a test if Samsung is capable of actually booting from it and if I may be able to use git with common human logic and my limited programming skills to actually patch it the way it would do so (without much understanding about the code itself, yet basic knowledge about C syntax). For now I've only succeed reproducing the upstream Linux kernel commit structure from 4.19.111, with a single additional commit for Samsung changes and another one for physwizz ones.
can anyone guide me how to unlock bootloader on Samsung Galaxy M12G ?
@SB3P Thanks so much. Sorry for my late reply, but thank you!

For people who wants to play with stock images but don't know how: you can use simg2img, lpunpack and Linux to extract and mount the official ROM image in approach of finding there some tips like in initrc services why some stuff is working fine on Samsung while it doesn't on GSIs. Maybe I would tinker with it a bit, trying to export a few services and libraries in an approach to create a Magisk module with all stuff needed to have a fully functional GSI, but I'm tired of modding for now, especially when this is my first Samsung phone I had to deal with.
Edit: Typo fixes, added additional text formatting.

If you would see the *untested* section at the initial post of this thread, it is unknown whetever this works or not for M127G phones (if it bootloops it might not work at all). Anyway, here's how I did it on M127F (at least how I remember this):
1. I did steps from 1-6, I believe I skipped 7 since I was aware it will mess something up with the data partition.
2. I modified the multidisabler script and pushed it to my phone via the ADB (to TMPFS). You can find this script pushed as xz compressed file. Before executing multidisabler script I have done a backup of the recovery and system partitions (using dd tool) which I am going to reflash later.
3. I rebooted to download mode and flashed TWRP image.
4. After TWRP ended flashing, I booted into the recovery. I flashed the physwizz kernel and then my own GSI image as it was described in the instructions at the initial post. Just remember that /data partition is not functional with FBE and TWRP so you need to push your images somewhere else like microSD card or TMPFS partition. OTG might work here as well, this is something I haven't tested yet through...
5. Once you are done with flashing you need to restore the original recovery partition via the download mode. TWRP won't boot the GSIs with FBE encryption enabled actually it does boot now for me, yet I still recommend switching to stock recovery if your phone bootloops or you need to format/wipe userdata partition. You can then safely format your /data partition with the stock recovery.

Hi, I installed LineageOS 18.1 GSI on my M127F. I want to share my guide to installing this GSI.
Code:
DISCLAIMER:
By following this guide you accept that you
may do irreversible damage to your phone.
If something breaks the responsibility is
yours only. If you want stable software that
is guaranteed to work 100% don't follow
this guide.
I assume you are running a fully stock system and and locked bootloader and firmware U3/U4.
Installing TWRP and custom kernel
Enable Developer Options by tapping on software information > build number 7 times
Enter developer options then toggle OEM Unlocking on.
Power off your phone.
Hold Vol Up + Vol Down then plug in your phone to enter download mode
THIS WILL ERASE ALL YOUR DATA AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY. Follow on screen instructions to unlock your bootloader. THIS WILL ERASE ALL YOUR DATA AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY
After this you want to download and install attached Orangefox recovery using odin. After odin is done flashing enter recovery
Format data (not wipe) in recovery
Enter terminal and type multidisabler twice
Reboot to system and verify that under security encryption is disabled
Download TWRP and custom kernel for your phone
Reboot into recovery and locate the downloaded twrp image
Select recovery.
Reboot into recovery
Install kernel, then wipe cache and reboot. You should now see that it is complaining about some internal issue. This is normal.
Installing the GSI
Download your favorite ROM from the list provided below. You want to install an arm64 a/b image.
Extract the image file
Reboot to recovery.
Select install then install image
Locate the GSI image
Select install system
After that is done return to recovery and select factory reset.
Reboot then do setup (if applicable) then download attached magisk and phh trebleapp. If your phone is stuck on bootanimation check under to fix it.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT LET THE SCREEN TURN OFF OR YOU WILL HAVE TO REBOOT TO MAKE TOUCH WORK AGAIN.
Install attached magisk
Open magisk and click on install then direct install
Download and install the attached phh-treble app apk.
Touch should now work. Enjoy your GSI.
Extras
Magisk 24.1
Open Magisk
Go to settings
Update Magisk Manager app to version 24.1
Relaunch Magisk then install magisk
Choose direct instal
Migrating to patched trebleapp
Download and install attached trebleapp
Open your root file manager
go to /data/adb/service.d
Delete the script you added earlier
Tips in case things don't work
In case after rebooting to the GSI the phone bootloops:
Download stock image from wherever you download your firmware (I use a python program called samloader)
Extract the AP of the downloaded firmware
Find userdata.img.lz4 and create a .tar archive only containing this file
Reboot to download mode
In odin select AP then locate the newly created .tar archive Then click on flash
Reboot
Continue from step 7 under the "Installing the GSI" portion of the guide
To revive the touchscreen using ADB:
In case you didn't grant adb root access but installed magisk, run adb shell then su. A root access for the app shell will appear. Grant root permission
Plug in phone to a computer with ADB
adb shell
su
cat /sys/class/sec/tsp/cmd_result
echo check_connection > /sys/class/sec/tsp/cmd
What works:
Boots
RIL
Fingerprint
Main rear camera
Front camera
Sleep/Wake (workaround in steps above, may need to sleep wake several times before it works)
WiFi
Flashlight
Rotation
Magisk 24
90Hz (M12 only. A12 doesn't have 90Hz refresh rate)
LineageOS 18.1
LineageOS 19
CAOS (GApps variant available)
phh AOSP 11 v313
phh AOSP 12 v400h
Untested
GPS
Flashing GApps. (I use fdroid and aurora store on LineageOS and CAOS has built in GApps)
USB-OTG
A127F
M127G
If I didn't list it under broken or working I didn't try it or forgot to test it.
Broken
Double tap to wake. Touchscreen turns off and I have no idea how to keep it alive while lcd is off
MTP
Virtual Proximity. Screen will stay on in phone calls and WhatsApp will always play voice messages through speaker
Flashlight brightness. Flashlight will always stay on weakest brightness with no way to adjust.
Adaptive refresh. The framerate you set in phh addons is what you get. Be prepared for slightly reduced battery.
You tell me (even though I probably don't have the solution)
Bugs
You may need to wait a little bit before touchscreen responds or sleep/wake several times before screen responds after turning the screen off

try to install @phhusson (system-squeak-arm64-ab-vndklite-gapps-secure.img) GSI using above method on Samsung Galaxy M12G (SM-M127G) BUT failed to boot up
facing following issue:
1) unable to boot in OrangeFox Recovery
2) boot in TWRP Recovery but not detected MicroSD Card
3) samehow manage to push Kernal.zip, SystemGSI.img by adb push file_name_with_extension /sdcard BUT not flash properly as TWRP reboot again and again in 2-3 minutes
so friends, don't try this method on Samsung Galaxy M12G (SM-M127G) unless Senior member come up with this specific model
For anyone who has starred this thread, I and other devs have released a proper build of LineageOS with /vendor. Aside from VoLTE (which I don't think worked in GSIs anyways) everything should work. Moderators, please close this thread

LineageOS is not only GSI available, I think someone might still find it useful if they want to flash another ROMs. Also Phhuson's GSI also contains some features that unofficial GSI release don't have (i.e. flashlight control in Phhusson's app), so they still might be useful for someone.
This is why I think it is better to not close this thread and maybe revive original guide.

Our rom is built completely from source, not a GSI, and it is more or less a complete replacement of stock firmware. If you want you can use a GSI over that instead, and it should function much better than just replacing stock firmware

I haven't said GSI are better, I personally use this unofficial LineageOS build. But what I've said, GSI brings much more variety of picking the OS you can install. Even Linux can be installed on phones nowadays using GSI with only Halium-patched kernel as an requirement. This is why I think leaving this tutorial archived (no updates, interest on fixing bugs etc.) is better than removing it.
