LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 13, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.
The only official site with proper instructions to install LineageOS is https://wiki.lineageos.org/. Any instructions that come from anywhere else is not to be trusted at all.
You should especially distrust instructions from websites that try and impersonate LineageOS. One example of such a site is lineageosroms[.]com.
InstructionsScroll down to the 2nd post in this thread for installation and upgrade information.
Reporting BugsPlease follow the instructions here to report your bug to our GitLab issues if you can, as it makes it easier for us to keep track of bugs and progress on fixing them.
However, should you be unable to do so and must post your bug report in this thread instead, then please adhere to the following guidelines:
DO NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel, have installed Magisk, Xposed, or have done modifications to your device that touch any of the read-only partitions (with GApps being the only exception).
As this is an A/B device, recovery will not run addon.d scripts. As such, try undoing all the modifications by reflashing the rom + GApps (if you used them) in recovery--no need to wipe data. After that, check to see if the bug is still there.
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.

Supported models:The only officially supported models are the following:
IN2010 (China)
IN2011 (India)
IN2013 (Europe/Asia)
IN2015 ("Global"/NA)
IN2017 (T-Mobile) is unofficially supported, as that's what I did my device bringup against.
IN2019 (Verizon) is not supported. VZW sensor configs are not bundled in this ROM, so accelerometer/gyroscope and magnetometer readings are going to be incorrect. In addition, battery gauge reading seems to be broken, based on one user trying this ROM on their IN2019 despite it being unsupported. I am likely not going to fix this anytime soon, as I do not have an IN2019 to validate my fixes against.
Upgrading from LineageOS 19.1:If you are coming from LineageOS 19.1 AND using LineageOS 19.1 Recovery, then follow the instructions here to upgrade. Remember to flash Android 13 GApps if you used GApps previously.
We ship the required firmware (OxygenOS 13 11.F.13 as of 2022-12-31) in our OTA zips, so you do not need to install that firmware to both your slots on your OnePlus 8 before proceeding through the instructions.
Installing LineageOS 20 for the first time:Prerequisites:Ensure you've installed any version of OxygenOS/ColorOS 12 or 13 on the active slot on your device. The installation instructions recommend you be on OOS/COS 13 because on OOS/COS 12, touchscreen will end up not working while in LineageOS Recovery. However, you can still proceed while using OOS/COS 12 firmware; use the volume keys + power button to navigate recovery.
Instructions:Once you satisfy the prerequisites above, then follow the instructions here to install LineageOS 20.
We ship the required firmware (OxygenOS 13 11.F.13 as of 2022-12-31) in our OTA zips, so you do not need to install that firmware to both your slots on your OnePlus 8 before proceeding through the instructions.
Currently Known BugsOccasional 1-2 second freezes when waking the device from sleepSometimes, when you wake the device, you can see the display seemingly freeze for 1-2 seconds while it's fading in the lockscreen. Unfortunately, I don't know why that happens, and I don't think I'll be able to fix that myself anytime soon.
Light sensor readings do not filter out light coming from the screenThe light sensor is placed way too close to the top of the screen, so light bleed from the screen ends up affecting light sensor readings. On OOS, they use some algorithm to determine how much of the light detected by the sensor is actually coming from the display itself, and then subtract that value from the reading. We currently don't have anything to handle that for this LineageOS build. Some people have tried developing their own algorithm for this on the OnePlus 7 series of devices, but apparently, it doesn't work that well, so it was never brought over to the OnePlus 8 series of devices. In addition to that, novenary was reverse engineering OnePlus's implementation, but they stopped working on that since they no longer daily drive their hotdogb.
As such, expect Adaptive Brightness to be very much unusable, as the feedback loop caused by the light sensor sensing the light from the screen will result in Adaptive Brightness increasing the brightness all the time.
UDFPS (Under-display Fingerprint Sensor) doesn't work properly in 90° and 270° screen rotationsFor both 90° and 270° (both of which are landscape orientations), the HWC layer for the UDFPS circle doesn't get excluded from the dimlayer, and as such, it doesn't end up illuminating bright enough to scan your finger. The circle is still positioned in the right place, so there could still be a possibility that one could figure out how to fix this.
UDFPS (Under-display Fingerprint Sensor) doesn't work properly in 180° screen rotationFor 180° (upside-down), not only is the auth dialog window in the wrong place, but the UDFPS circle doesn't even show up. This will not be fixed.
Mic input volume in speakerphone and video/audio recordings seems quieter than usualThis is still being explored, but it ends up seeming like the top mic's gain is too low or something? More details to come...
Spoiler: Old Bugs
Ambient Display (Always-on Display) may not work properly if panel can't freely switch between 60Hz and 90Hz(Fixed in 2023-01-21 build)
With Ambient Display enabled, when you "turn off" the screen, the panel will first show the Ambient Display info at normal brightness before trying to switch to LP1 mode. However, for instantnoodle, that mode seems to cause the panel to blank out entirely. It's only when Android decides to switch between 60/90Hz that the panel ends up turning back on, and that usually takes up to 6 seconds for that to happen.
This is under investigation still. Since the LP1 panel command's payloads are specific to this panel (Samsung amb655uv01), and since I have not found a datasheet for this panel, I may not be able to fix this. Either that, or I would need to prevent the LP1 command from running in the first place, and then see if that affects battery life.
EDIT: Fix is up: https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_kernel_oneplus_sm8250/+/347184
Thanks to @javelinanddart for taking a look and deducing which part of the LP1 command was causing the screen to blank.
While WiFi calling is enabled, VoIP calls (Google Voice, TextNow, etc.) starts stuttering frequently on WiFi(Fixed in 2023-01-21 build)
A few hours after turning on WiFi Calling on the OnePlus 8, you'll likely notice that VoIP calls on apps like Google Voice and TextNow will seem to stutter while on WiFi, getting to the point where the call is unstable and neither party can really talk to each other. This bug is related to IMS making the cnd daemon from qcom's CNE request WiFi ext stats every two seconds. A race condition in the qcacmn kernel driver could end up happening during one of these requests, which potentially leads to every subsequent ext stats request timing out after waiting for 1.5 seconds. During that 1.5 second period, VoIP packets seem to get dropped entirely. This issue has been present since LineageOS 18.1, it seems.
I do have code that works around this race condition, but I don't think it's ready to review yet because I'm still trying to learn more about the qcacmn driver. I will update this space with more info when ready.
EDIT: Fix is up: https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_kernel_qcom_sm8250/+/347290
Thanks to Andrea for showing a way to work around this race condition that required fewer code changes.
CPU scheduler becomes reluctant to schedule tasks on the Gold and Prime CPU clusters 15-30 minutes after boot(Fixed in 2023-01-21 build)
After rebasing on latest qcom sm8250 + Android Common Kernel source, we ended up getting a regression in how the CPU scheduler works. For some reason, 15-30 minutes after booting up, it ends up becoming very reluctant to schedule tasks on the Prime cluster, and (I suppose) somewhat reluctant to schedule tasks on the Gold cluster.
The fix for this is up: https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_kernel_qcom_sm8250/+/347313
Thanks to @V3NK4135H for their help in identifying the fix.
Ambient Display (Always-on Display) appears dimmer than usual if you have at least one fingerprint registered(Fixed in 2023-03-11 build.)
With Ambient Display enabled, when the panel enters LP1 mode, the screen seems to dim by a significant amount. This is due to the biometrics HAL enabling dimlayer_hbm while listening for a fingerprint. Turning on dimlayer_hbm results in High Brightness mode being enabled, but with a dimlayer overlaying everything except for the UDFPS circle. This allows the UDFPS circle to shine at HBM levels of backlight while everything else remains at the original brightness level. However, if dimlayer_hbm is still on while the panel enters LP1 mode, then High Brightness mode turns off, but the dimlayer still remains. This results in everything being dimmer than it really should be.
I have a bunch of changes in the pipeline that not only fixes that, but also uses the dimlayer to mimic various brightness steps so that the perceived brightness in LP1 mode will match what your display had in ON mode. Will post updates in the thread once it gets merged.

Hopefully within the next 24 hours... all the lineage-20 devices got their builds triggered today, but it will be some time before instantnoodle build starts running.
Hi! I can't get "File Transfer" to work now when connecting the phone to Windows 11- previously no problems with 19.1.
Seems I now have a unrecognized MTP driver. Any thoughts?

Maybe a rather stupid question, but if I were to upgrade to 20, would I have to reinstall all my apps or will they automagically carry over?

If you follow the upgrade procedure, then all your userdata should remain intact.
I had a fairly seemless upgrade from LineageOS 19 to Lineage 20 following LibeageOS's guide with no data loss.
Lost root and MicroG (no GApps on my phone). I did rename Magisk.apk to Magisk.zip and sideloaded it right after sideloading LineageOS.
To get root back:
Extract boot.img with payload-dumper-go (I use Artix Linux).
Download LineageOS 20 recovery.
Transfer the two image files to the phone.
From the Magisk app on the phone, patch boot.img and the recovery image.
Upload the two patched files back to the computer.
Reboot phone into recovery (adb reboot recovery) and then put it into fastbootd mode (advanced, fastboot - I think)
Now execute the following commands:
1. fastboot devices (note that it's in fastbootd mode)
2. fastboot flash boot_a {your_Magisk_patched_boot_image}
3. fastboot flash boot_b {your_Magisk_patched_boot_image}
4. fastboot flash recovery_a {your_Magisk_patched_recovery_image}
5. fastboot flash recovery_b {your_Magisk_patched_recovery_image}
6. Reboot phone ('fastboot reboot' works)
Always works for me. Your milage may vary.

You weren't joking; it didn't even close the apps I had open during the upgrade, absolutely flawless! Thanks again!
Hi. It works almost fine, but I can't connect to the cellular network and when I make a call it tells me to turn off airplane mode. Of course not in airplane mode. Any workaround?

Some questions:
Is this the T-Mobile variant of the OnePlus 8?
What were you running prior to LineageOS 20? Give details about what upgrade path you took, because I do recall there is one situation where trying to use the non-T-Mobile modem image on a T-Mobile variant OnePlus 8 will not work.

Patching boot.img is unnecessary to regain root, no? I have only ever had to sideload the Magisk zip file after sideloading the ROM zip. If you ran into any issues sideloading originally, it could be because you did not reboot recovery after sideloading the ROM (Advanced, Reboot to Recovery). To be safe I do it after sideloading every addon (sideload ROM, reboot to recovery, sideload GApps, reboot to recovery, sideload Magisk, reboot to system), and all data was completely intact through this process.
Just wanted to thank you for the continued support! I saw you wrote that Display Alt should be working again, so I'll check it out as soon as I can get MicroG to work with it!

It's true that I sideloaded Magisk without rebooting first. I'll have to try that next year! Thank you!

Hello I'm new to this community. I want to switch from a custom ROM known as evolution x to lineage os 20.
I have some questions regarding it.
Can I dirty flash it?
Can I do it without twrp recovery?
Also I want to flash a custom Kernal to fix the performance dip when I flashed this rom. The multicore performance of my OnePlus 8 dropped from 3065 points to 1754 (geekbench 5).
Please someone help me

I am completely void in knowledge on kernels, however I do know that you do not want to simply dirtyflash off of a seperate custom ROM. You should backup all of your data, and then follow the steps to factory reset and flash. I am also not 100% on this, but I do not think that TWRP even works on this version of android, and regardless you are provided with a custom recovery to flash everything necessary.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Pre-Install Instructions
Warning: The following instructions will unlock the bootloader and wipe all userdata on the device.
Connect the device to a Wi-Fi network.
Enable Developer Options by pressing the “Build Number” option in the “Settings” app within the “About” menu
From within the Developer options menu, enable OEM unlock.
Power off the device, and boot it into download mode:
With the device powered off, hold Volume Down + Volume Up and connect USB cable to PC.
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
All cameras are working
Ramdisk is working
Dolby atmos is working
Known issues
VoLTE/VoWiFi

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.

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

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 /proc/last_kmsg. (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.

What is different between this build and your previous one ?
Big guy, can you come up with a LineageOS that d2q can use, d2q users feel distressed, and there is no rom available

No, sorry hardware is too different.
builds have been removed from the lineage os website?

Yes, see this for the reason
This affected all devices so builds of last few days were pulled and sadly we had only that one build yet
There will be new ones next week
Does the build support hardware encryption or software encryption?
You should put what models this is for as to avoid confusion
just flashed the recovery image via heimdal (got recovery upload success message), but when I try to boot into recovery mode (or even just boot into Android now) I get pushed into download mode with a 'dt load fail' message at the top
says dt entry not found
load kernel could not do normal boot
error verifying vbmeta image - hash mismatch

I recall getting a vbmeta error too and I think it was a locked bootloader issue? Not sure. Definitely a d2s model?
I just reflashed stock and started again. Long press the volume up button at download selection to unlock bootloader.
I'm fairly sure Odin accepted the recovery file if you convert it to .tar. and disable auto reboot so you can button combo directly to recovery. From there install the main ROM zip.
ROM runs fine, few thing missing that I needed so came away from it unfortunately.

certainly no locked bootloader here (have had it unlocked since right after I bought it at launch)
but yea, I'm going to try and reflash the ROM and start from scratch. I was on an outdated version of ONe UI (maybe from December) so maybe that was part of the issue
EDIT - oddly enough, I couldn't get LOS recovery installed via Odin. I tried, got success messages, but a reboot into recovery mode just showed stock recovery (I wasn't missing the button combo, to my knowledge). tried a few times before going back to using heimdall
the second attempt (with a fresh install of OneUI's latest firmware) helped me get past that vbmeta error with heimdall
got LOS recovery installed, the ROM sideloaded, and I'm up and running
thanks for the hard work @Linux4 (and all others involved in working on lineageos)
First, thanks a lot for your work and for making it official, @Linux4 !
One question: I'd like to use MicroG instead of the google stuff. But since I'd rather keep it all simple, I'd not use Magisk, if possible. Is there a recommended and/or simple way to get the signature spoofing patch into this rom? Preferably so that OTA updates still work? Would NanoDroid in system mode work?

is the bug with registering a fingerprint common? I noticed the issue after I first installed it but then was able to add one very quickly
had to format /data to record a tutorial and after installing the build again, I can't seem to get past the fingerprint register issue I noticed before

It is not broken or whatever, see this from my telegram group in case you just don't figure it out on your own:
If fingerprint enrollment fails for first fingerprint do the following to get it working (doesn't apply to beyond0lte):
1. Retry adding fingerprint but this time tap fast and don't press too hard when putting your finger on the sensor for the first time
2. Repeat step 1 until enrollment continues without error
3. After that it will work fine and doesn't need any special handling anymore

All samsung devices using FOD have that issue it seems, only on first enrollment tho, after that it's completely fine

No need for a logcat, it does work, for retrying you will need to close settings completely, just going *back* is not enough (HAL will stay in that error state)

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
Achievement unlocked: flashed GSI with FBE enabled!

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

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!

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.

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.
Hi all,
i was kinda bored and sick of no Custom ROM development for our beloved S6 so i thought i'd try using a GSI and i've got it booting so i thought i would share the instructions!
As usual all care no responsibility! Nothing here is without risk.
Android 13
5 March 2023 Security Patch Level
1. Unlock your bootloader. (Very easy to do - https://www.hardreset.info/devices/...-s6/faq/bootloader-unlock/samsung-bootloader/)
2. Download the official vbmeta image provided by TWRP > https://dl.twrp.me/gts4lv/vbmeta.tar.html
3. Download TWRP https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxytabs6qcomwifi.html
4. Open Odin
5. Put VBMETA.TAR in the CP Slot & TWRP in AP slot and flash. On reboot hold down the Pwr/Up button so it boots straight into TWRP or sometimes it can be overwritten.
3. Format Data, reboot back into TWRP and Full Factory Reset . (Take a backup if you need one).
4. Transfer the LoS image file to the tablet via TWRP then Flash the LoS image through TWRP (System Partition) lineage-20.0-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN.img (or whichever ARM64 flavour you like) from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-20-td/
(might need to use the adb push command to copy the file across) adb push filename.extension /sdcard
5. Flash magisk if you like.
6. Reboot to system and enjoy!
i used the one above which includes GAPPS though there are ones that don't if you prefer
I only just finished installing though - quick summary:
Working:
Fingerprint!
Hardware Buttons
SDCard
Wifi
Bluetooth
Gapps and Google Setup
Tablet is very fast!
Charging
USB File Transfer
Audio
Video out for USB-C
Auto-rotate
GPS
Official Samsung Keyboard Physically attached working fine too!
Themes
Colours
Mic
SPen
Not Working:
Only bottom speakers work
SafetyNet
Workarounds:
To pass SafetyNet (BASIC):
Flash Magisk in TWRP
Use Magiskhide
Turn on Zygist
Install Displax modified SafetyNet-Fix from link below;
hxxps://github.com/Displax/safetynet-fix/releases/tag/v2.4.0-MOD_1.2
Configure your Denylist in Magisk for Google Play Store and Services apps. (And anything else you need to not detect root).
To Fix Brightness:
Go to Settings - Phh - Misc Features - Tick the box for "Use Linear Brightness Slider"
To Help with Fingerprint:
Turn off taskbar in Settings to help alignment with Fingerprint scanner
Hope we can get some community effort behind this so we can bring this tablet back into support since Samsung gave up on it..

Thanks so much for this!
I have built LOS for a couple unsupported devices in the past and would love to dedicate as much time and resources as needed to this project.
Could you share which build trees were used from Github and the extracted blobs?
I would like to replicate this build and put in a request with LOS developer stinX for an official one.

I am not sure mate about the GIT and Blobs. These are GSI so "generic" so they may not have them. From my understanding they work with the existing Vendor image and take advantage of Treble to ensure everything works.

There are quite a lot of tweaks available in the PHH settings. I suggest you play around in there and you may get both sets of speakers working. I will do the same
I have added it to "Not Working" section.

I should add i think this is MUCH faster than stock and battery life is looking great too!
I am happy there are some other people who are using this GSI on a Tab S6. I installed it some time ago and am very satisfied!
Some things I found:
Fingerprint XY coordinates are somehow off. Specifically, the symbol showing on screen and the actual reader are not on the same place. I think it is related to the app bar somehow, since it seems to be off by that. I think this could be fixed by an overlay.
Auto-brightntess is not available as well. Either use an app for that, or don´t use it. This can also be fixed by an overlay as far as I know.
Maybe it is also possible to get the top speakers working by making an overlay? I am not sure regarding this, however.
Obviously, DolbyAtmos is not included. However, I think there exists a Magisk Module. Maybe it would also be possible to integrate this into an overlay? This would be amazing
I am very new to the custom ROM/GSI scene. So, my experience with overlays and so on is basically none. However, I would try to contribute as good as I can if someone feels ready to create an overlay and then getting it implemented into the GSI.
Anyone interested in cooperating?

I will try to do that as well...lets see.
I would explicitly add to the working section that the spen works and also pressure sensitivity of the spen works! At least in the Saber Handwritten Notes app which I use. This is amazing.

Didn`t you patch the vbmeta.img, or did you flash the multidisabler zip?
Somehow, one has to disable verified boot such that you can even boot LineageOS...as far as I know!

Did you start from stock rom? Maybe you already flashed a vbmeta.img or multidisabler.zip some time ago which is still in effect?
I really doubt that it is possible to boot a different os if verified boot of Android is not adjusted...

Nope. Started from stock. Literally unlocked bootloader right before moving to GSI. Just like the steps above.
I did install Magisk which may help disable verified boot though

Ah, that might make the difference! So I think it is worth to mention to either install Magisk, or to patch the vbmeta.img in order to boot. If coming from stock with the stock vbmeta.img, then Android Verified Boot will not allow booting into a different ROM.

OP is wrong.
Be careful flashing the latest TWRP for SMT-860 Wifi with Odin.
This happened to me today after doing it. "Error verifying vmbeta image: Invalid vmbeta header"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
The device gets stuck like this and won't boot anymore, but you can get it back to normal by flashing the recovery.img from your firmware files (It's in AP)
You cannot install TWRP on the Galaxy Tab S6 without fixing the vmbeta.img issue.
I tried with the latest Samsung firmware downloaded via SamFirm and an older one.
@m0byn: Do you know what needs to be done with the vmbeta.img on this device, to allow for TWRP to be flashed?
I have found many different prescribed solutions such as patching boot.img with Magisk or just the vmbeta.img , but nothing seems to work.
Tablet, search my post here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/t865-rooting-with-android-12-bootloop-and-error.4452641/ and try
Hey man, thank you for the suggestion. That post seems to be about Magisk and rooting.
The problem here is the vmbeta.img.
According to older posts from 2021 this can be resolved by flashing vbmeta_disabled.tar , but the latest 2022 version of TWRP should no longer require this. It's weird.
I am sorry. I thought something went wrong when you patched the firmware with Magisk
Probably flashing Magisk automatically patches the vbmeta.img. Not sure though.
Follow the steps below. This is how I did it. It worked.
I am assuming a stock recovery in this process. If you already installed TWRP just try if it works as well. not sure if this is impacting the process.
Unpack firmware using 7Zip tool
Unpack AP.tar.md5 using 7Zip tool
Unpack vbmeta.img.lz4 using 7Zip-ZS tool
Open file in FrhedPortable (HEX editor) to patch it
Go to offset (block) 123 and write 03 and save
Compress vbmeta.img to vbmeta.img.tar using 7Zip tool
Connect device via USB to computer
Hold volume up & volume down buttons
Press volume up button to proceed to download mode
Open Odin -> verify whether device number is added
Untoggle "auto-reboot" in options
Select AP section
Choose patched vbmeta.img.tar file
Click start to flash
When flashing process is done: hold power & volume down button to exit and power off device
IMPORTANT: as soon as device shuts off immediately release volume down button and press volume up button to enter recovery mode
Click factory reset
Click reboot to bootloader
Thanks @m0byn I managed to figure it out with your help.
For anyone else facing the same problem, here is what you need to do:
Download the official vbmeta image provided by TWRP > https://dl.twrp.me/gts4lv/vbmeta.tar.html
Proceed to flash with Odin.
Put the TWRP recovery image in AP and vbmeta.tar in the CP slot.
After this you can boot into the TWRP recovery normally, but for some reason any changed settings in TWRP are not saved. So everytime I reboot into TWRP recovery all previously selected TWRP settings are lost. I wonder if that's normal, but everything else seems to work.
Next step will be flashing the Lineage GSI, i'll keep you guys posted.
