NB: THIS BUILD SHOULD BE CONSIDERED:==>
* I WILL NOT BE DEBUGGING THIS ROM, HOWEVER, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO POST ISSUES FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS
* A ONE OFF BUILD, I WILL NOT BE DOING REGULAR UPDATES
* NOT BE CONSIDERED A DAILY CANDIDATE
* JUST A PREVIEW OF WHAT THE CURRENT STATE OF SOURCE CODE IS AT
Did I mention this would not be possible without the work by @kyasu, the crDroid & LineageOS teams.

Will try it rom, tks u for support

Thanks for posting, I personally still use version 14.1 of crdroid.
But what is the purpose if you're not gonna debug and maintain this rom?
I'm sure something will pop up...

I personally am currently using my own build of Nougat ResurrectionRemix, which I have also shared here at XDA. I personally wanted to check if I could build a non LineageOS Oreo ROM using @kyasu LOS device tree's. ie Hopefully, in the future, when all the source code code is more stable, I will be able to build another ROM for my personal use (which I would also share).

ALL the oreo code is still VERY early days, I dont think there are even too many official devices with releases yet ie not even Alpha's. You don't need to look too far before something "pops up"

Thats one of the brilliant things of open source code. There are a team of people working on LineageOS (the basis for crDroid and ResurrectionRemix), as well as people working on crDroid and RR, as well as the work being done by @kyasu specifically for our device. Any work they do, would flow through to anyone building the ROM from source. ie "I" do not specifically need to do the debugging, hopefully. And that makes me think of another reason, maybe this build will inspire someone else to give it a go.

Big thanks @DiamondJohn for providing us with some options besides LOS! By the way, was the "ks01ltexxd" in the title intended?

Each Dev has a right to include all the crap he wants. I'm not saying that DiamondJohn does but still, some roms are faster and more battery efficient then other.

Yes that's true, but since almost every custom rom is based on LOS I wouldn't expect a huge difference. Also in my experience the apps installed by the user or Google services eat up the battery, not so much the rom (of course the system consumes battery, but most of the time it's something else, if one has unusual high battery drain). I think if you really want to save energy you probably need to throttle the CPU. And Oreo isn't too great at saving battery at the moment (I am only talking about the builds available for our device of course). I hope this will get better in the future. I am using Oreo nevertheless because it's rock stabil and I like the features.

Interesting, what features are they?

I'd like to hear the answer to this question.
I dont think you should be looking at ROMs like ResurrectionRemix or crDroid if you wish to be running "light", and I would also go for PICO GApps (which is what I run).

As this was a build straight from the source (I only changed one line to make it permissive), its the decision of the devs at the crDroid Team, not me.
By the way, whenever I have looked at the changes made in crDroid, the non-device specific code changes has always been by a single dev. I am sure its a group that decides on bigger things, like what to include, just interesting that shared (between devices) code almost seems to be maintained by a single guy.

I am running Nougat ResurrectionRemix, and to limit my battery drain, I have Greenify running VERY aggressively. I also have the CPU at standard max, but a conservative governor; Tripndroid, which doesn't seem to lag for my usage, but likes the lower frequencies.

I am guessing you are running LOS. The latest build appears to have caused some "noise", which worries me as this build is based on similar code. GPS also appears to be a common issue. I tried GPS on this build and it didnt connect to any satellites (I was inside, and it was heavily overcast that day) but when I restored my daily and it didnt lock a location either (but at least connected to a few satellites). I'd be interested to know by anyone who tries this ROM if the GPS works? That's a deal breaker for me personally. The "efs" partition talk also really concerns me.

New build!
There is anew build up (see OP). This build was basically a test to see what would happen (ie would it even boot) if the SELinux was ENFORCING
Make sure you flash GApps along with the ROM before the first boot. I accidentally booted without GApps and then flashing it after caused issues.
I also tried Magisk 16.0 for root, and that appeared to work. Instead of the LineageOS add-an
I also tried flashing Viper, and that worked as soon as I switched over to permissive. I also took a log to see what permissions/SELinux statements would enable it to run enforcing.
I did appear to have issues the second time I flashed it with ADB over WiFi (it didnt pop up the request/confirmation).
I am also hoping that the GPS will be fixed soon in the LOS 15.1 builds which will hopefully flow through to crDroid:fingers-crossed:
Remember, this is unofficially an an unofficial build:silly:

You don't think crdroid is light?
I've been using it for a year now and I believe it's pretty light.

Feature wise, it is NOT light; as it is very featured. Those features come from code.
To me, if you truly want light, you go with a "vanila" AOSP ROM. I am NOT talking about how they run, but their contents. On a different device (xt907) I built a number of Nougat ROMs, and AICP actually seemed noticeably "snappier" to me than crDroid or RR. A ROM not being light, does not mean it is slow.
Not that's its an accurate comparison of anything, but comparing the Oreo file sizes,
LOS 15.1 = 359MB
RR v6.0.0 = 329MB (I recently did a test build, and it booted and ran :victory
crDroid v4.0 = 385MB
also, the main build section has "steps" when compiling a ROM, below are the results from the last time I compiled each of these
LOS 15.1 = 75755
RR v6.0.0 = 76872
crDroid v4.0 = 77145
On a side note, I have another device (Nexus 5, the xt907 has died) and that has an RR Oreo ROM at around 359MB and an AOSP ROM (v8.0) at 297MB.
By the way, RR is my ROM of choice, as (I think) this device is much more than capable of handling just about any ROM we can thrown at it, at least thus far for me.:good:

Do you know if it works on the Oreo LineageOS builds?

out of interest
There has been over 100 downloads of the ROM. Is anyone actually using it as a daily? or simply as a preview? noting that was the actual purpose; ie a preview not a daily.

Hi DiamonJohn,
I'm giving a daily test although this is not the case, but I'm even amazed by the result even with this state of the ROM.
In terms of apps, everything works, at least the ones I use daily basis that are; Facebook, Messenger, Inbox "2 email accounts", Outlook "1 email account", Google Keep, DropBox, Skype, Twitter, Youtube, etc..., bluetooth works and I'm going to test the GPS tomorrow when I go running
What I mean is that even though not being for daily use (for now) this ROM is not too far from that in my point of view, of course you still need a lot of work ahead and the battery does not last long but what does it matter at this stage since the RR roms happens the same :laugh:
With spirit and with head this rom can get very good at level ★ ★ ★ crDroid ★ ★ ★ Official[7.1.2][ks01lte][V3.5][09 JUN] and by the way, it's the rom I use every day and it's great.
I was going to forget to mention, Magisk Manager, Xposed and Greenify they are installed and working properly.
For now is everything and I hope this rom go forwar, I am very interested because my GALAXY S4 LTE still has much to give :good:
And I say even that this ROM in the point that is, deserves the title that I gave :angel:

I would not expect the GPS to be working. It was built without a change from LOS that would fix it. But I tried including the code, which didn't appear to work for me, and only after realised that I had a hardware issue (my antenna wasn't connecting well physically on the device fixed now) I am now waiting (patiently) for @kyasu to update his actual device tree with the changes.
I have also built an Oreo ResurrectionRemix. I am hoping someone will test applying a substratum theme against one of these Oreo ROMs (although I haven't made public the RR one) I have built. That (and the GPS) are probably my roadblocks right now foir me to upgrade and thereby be more frequent with new builds; ie I dont know if Substratum works or not. I have tested Viper (another one of my personal deal-breaks, and that works)

GPS Works well
Surprise LOL, GPS works well with me!
I use Endomondo - Running & Walking and GPS and continued to work well, without having the 4G connected!
I installed the GPS TESTE to see how many satellites it picks up and the accuracy and it seemed to me everything normal (view image link)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kycoe6blbovs78g/Screenshot_GPS_Test_20180327-082957.png?dl=0
About the Resurrection Remix I tested (Nougat) are good, but the battery is the weak point, because until now they all drain very quickly, which can not be for me to be daily use. As I mentioned, the crdroid ★ ★ ★ ★ Official [7.1.2] [ks01lte] [V3.5] [09 JUN] the battery is very good and for now is my choice for daily use.
I want to update to the OREO and so far and I have always liked crDroid for better results this your unofficial ROM is very very good :good:
Of course I'm here to test your Oreo RR

Building instructions

Known issues
(mostly comparable to any LOS based rom out there)
battery life could be better (compared to 14.1) I guess : idle consumption is low, BT on the contrary consumes a lot.
camera doesn't work flawlessly (same as other LOS based rom)

Thanks for contributing
How is battery life as of your tests? How bad is it compared to stock and to other LOS builds?
What are the flows of camera? Is it only quality, or some functions are lost?
Keep it up! :

Hi, battery life is significantly better than last 15.1 build from Option58, at least when idle ; most of the "to-be-improved" consumption is related to BT.
Cameras flows are the one already reported for all LOS based rom (nothing less, nothing more) : quality seems sub-optimal, 16:9 needs to be selected in settings and from times to times crashes may happen.

Sir, wonderful rom indeed.
The only thing I want for my A5 2017 is a custom kernel for AOSP based roms. I know it is stupid to ask something like this. But please get us a kernel. This will improve battery using profiles, support for overclocking/underclocking, and just usual Basics. On the other hand this rom is fabulous, and would love to see it growing more.

I'm providing a clean LineageOs with microG build, i.e. no custom kernel.
The basic idea of this thread is to offer an alternative to the Google-based ecosystem.

Have you tested NFC? Is it working properly?

Seems so, yes.

Okay, after a day of usage, I've occured some problems.
Aforemention that I've done a clean install:
- GPS not working - High accuracy is on, yet neither GMaps, neither Waze can locate, saying that no GPS signal is available. I don't know if this is correlated with microG, if it's caused by some Google framework is missing - since that should be the point of microG, but it's definitely a problem.
- Login with Google is not working - I assume this is a problem rooting from microG, and my misunderstanding, but it would be nice to make this available somehow.
Apart from that, it seems to be a nicely functioning ROM, which is nice to see on LOS.
Not to only mentio negativities, here's something on the pro side: I'm using an Amazfit BIP, which requires constant BT connection to the phone. However, I haven't occured any unreasonable battery consumption caused by BT.

Why the names?

Yes, GPS is indeed not working ; location service cannot be accessed as well. I need to figure out why.
Strangely, this was working perfectly fine with (older) LOS 15.1 builds without microG.
Regarding signing at google, I will not look at it, but you can go through the https://lineage.microg.org/ (where do I report a bug) logic to find out where the issue is.
Edit: I've just installed GPStest and selected the "device only" option (to use the GPS only) ; it is now working. what puzzles me is that whenever I'm trying to access the security/location settings page, it will crash. I guess there is something wrong in those bits, that will eventually be corrected upstream.

The one with the dot is an accidental registration by signing in with Google. The other is the original which I use, yet sometimes I get signed out, and relogged in w/ the Google one. I'll contact MikeChannon to remove my alterego...

A possible answer could be that microG's network provided location is somehow not working, or not properly. If GPS in itself can locate, then the network based data should be corrupted or should cause some trouble, yet I lack the knowledge how to test it.

are you able to see the security/location page, and configure the location details (with last build, it is working fine now) ?
microG needs some backends to be activated for proper wifi/gsm triangulation/localisation to work, did you configure them ?

I had to revert to hadesStock, since this is my work phone also, so I'll only have a chance to test on the weekends and on office days.
Yet what I remember is that I had all possible configured in microG, nothing else in the setings apart from the basic modes.

Building without MicroG
Is there a way I can build this exact ROM without the MicroG implementation? It runs much smoother than my builds, I was wondering is it using a different device tree or is this just because of MicroG? Many thanks

It's just because of microG.

The rom goes very fast, the only thing that is really annoying is that when making or receiving calls the call interface does not appear, is there any way to solve this problem?

* I am not responsible for what may happen to your device, it is simply a solution that worked for me *
I found a solution for this problem the problem was in the NikGApps the shortest solution is:
1
Flash the rom first then reboot
2
Boot up, set the device normally and turn it off
3
Start recovey and flash NikGApps ( preferably the latest Canary version:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/nikgapps/files/Canary-Releases/NikGapps-R/03-Feb-2021/ )
4
Reboot.

I recommend you to make a clean install, but you can try dirty. As for stability: almost everything is stable, but I would not recommend it if stability is critical.

So, everyone writes that even if the ROM has easily discoverable bugs, BUT, how stable is this ROM? I'm trying to find a good one for a daily driver that won't let me down in an emergency but so far it seems that all the ones I've seen are either a beta or have obvious bugs even though they're called "official" The only one I would potentially end up on is MIUI.

Can it be used as daily Driver?

Netflix and other apps thar block rooted phones are working fine?

Hi, I was using LOS 17.1 for MicroG without any issues but recently upgraded to LOS18.1 for MicroG (downloaded from lineage.microg.org and verified the download). Everything works well except for the camera. Out of the box camera app freezes frequently and then I tried Open Camera and a another camera app. Open Camera is a bit stable but still freezes regularly. Problem is worse when the camera app is being called by other apps.
I note that this has been reported in LOS forum but wondering whether there is a quick work around for this problem.
Many thanks.

Hi, actually this is the wrong thread to post it.
But your solution is to replace new cam blobs with oldcam blobs and flash a kernel that is made for oldcam blobs.
I am attaching the oldcam blobs file for los that can be flashed through recovery. But note that you must change the kernel afterwards that supports oldcam. Otherwise camera will not work at all.

Thanks very much for the response. From what you are saying, I feel it may be easier to just downgrade to LOS17.1 which I was using before? I guess the other option I have is to wait for the next update to see whether the issue will be fixed in that release.
Thanks for your suggestion and clarification.

i am also using los Q because i find it the most stable one. I m using loscam patch in Q as well for better video quality although.
And the camera issue wont get fixed until and unless someone takes over the development of los. currently it has no maintainer and tge builds we get are automated with los source side changes, not device side changes.

@Walden0, I thought I might give your suggestion a try before downgrading to 17.1 version. Can you please clarify the following?
1. To add the old camera blob, I could install this zip via Yellowfox Recovery?
2. How can I find out which kernel will support this oldcam blob?
Many thanks.

I have never heard of yellowfox recovery but if its based on twrp then most likely it should be able to flash the zip. (maybe you mean orangefox, if yes then you can flash)
The kernel should have "oldcam" or "old" in its name.

Just being color blind!!...of course, it is Orange Fox Recovery!!
Interestingly, after I did my post, I just opened Settings->Apps->Camera and pressed 'force stop'. Then I started Open Camera which is what I normally use and so far it appears to be behaving OK. I tried a few still shots and one or two short videos - no freezing as yet but it is too early to know. I will keep testing over the next couple of days and see how it goes.
Thanks for your prompt response.

Just to report that the work around by disabling the Camera app so far have fixed the problem.
Any one who has the same problem may want to try out the following steps;
1. Go to Settings->Apps->Camera->Force Stop
2. Then use an installed app such as Open Camera
Note this is not a permanent solution but a work around and this has to be done each time the phone is rebooted.
EDIT: updated to 6 Dec 21 version and the camera behaves even worse than with the initial install! The above fix does not work anymore although it worked most of the time with the November update.

This ROM was abandoned, pitty, much more polished than official https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...8-1-for-redmi-note-7-lavender.4381893/page-10.
But both suffer from the same issue: no Mass Storage Gadget so that UMS can work to make memory as USB drive.

Who is this @tarkzim? Superman! That's who!
Thank you so much!

Amazed by your determination to keep MAX UpToDate !
Wish you the happiness you deserve

Thank you so much for keeping this phone alive!

@tarkzim noticed that Google Play Store (nikgapps) do not seem to always properly detect the device is connected through WiFi. Like it is waiting for a mobile connection?
Tried various access points.

The source link of los19, tree kernel and vendor pls share

You should just grant it a network use or something like that from an app info page, had the same issue but it solved it

Thank you. I will check that tonight. I remember that from earlier days now that you mentioned it. Thank you for taking the time to respond. Love this device.

It may be my old 2/16 GB device and it's low performance, but the YouTube app seems to not load videos, and when it does, it's taking an eternity, so I'm trying to understand if it's just my device, or anyone else has this issue. Connection is good btw, the app used to perform better on LOS 18.1

I'm wondering if it's because I've set my SD card as my internal storage, which is usually slow, and the app tries to buffer the video onto it, but I doubt it's actually because of it, just my thoughts

You could try clearing browser's and app's cache, and maybe data too with app.

Try on another network, or set device back to defaults using original storage location?
Not sure what is happening there. I expected YouTube through the browser to play fine.

Installation guide:
Spoiler: Using Lineage recovery
1. Recommended Samsung firmware version is A705FNXXU5DVK6, but it will work on slightly older versions too.​Make sure that the bootloader is unlocked.​--
2. Boot the phone into download mode. Flash Lineage recovery through AP button in Odin.​Download here.​ Note: Use TWRP at your own risk! It does not properly support new A13 roms with the latest changes.
Use Lineage recovery for the best experience, otherwise don't complain if your phone bootloops.
--
3. Boot into recovery (Vol+ and Power while USB is plugged into PC)​ Note: Samsung's OneUI wipes the custom recovery partition and possibly vbmeta while booting so try not to reboot into Android.
--
4. Format data and system in the recovery​--
5. Flash the rom in "Apply update" menu.​ There are 2 ways to install:
On the phone: Copy the zip to a FAT32-formatted microSD card and install it in recovery.
With a PC: Use Minimal ADB on Windows. Open "cmd-here" and type
Code:
adb sideload <rom-file>
where <rom-file> is the filename (drag-and-drop the zip file into cmd window).
--
6. (Optional) Flash add-ons such as Google apps or Magisk in the same way that you flashed the rom.​We now have a working ramdisk so newest Magisk works fine ^^
--
7. Reboot and enjoy ​
Downloads:​ROM: lineage-20.0-20230619-UNOFFICIAL-a70q.zip​Recovery: lineage-20.0-20230619-recovery-a70q.tar​* Lineage 19.1 is still maintained here.

Other info
OS version: Android 13
Linux version: 4.14.190
Recommended firmware: A705FNXXU5DVK6
Build date: 19.06.2023

Screen off fingerprint not working even after enabling it from settings. However, to lineageos 19.1, it was working as expected.

Will look into that, thanks for reporting. You can use DT2W or raise to wake in the meantime
Edit: fixed as of 20221126

Still downloading hope no sleep of death

all good on the a70 (sm-a705mn) for now
thanks for the rom

Great work as always, thanks a lot

New update is now available, with Screen off FOD fixed (make sure you enable it in settings). You might also find that Always on display is turned on by default, it can be turned off with a quick settings tile. You also can update through settings app on the phone.
For OTA updates I recommend Lineage recovery and, if you need root, Lygisk. Don't report bugs with updates if you use Magisk.

Is volte working in this rom?

Don't expect VoLTE on _any_ rom for a samsung phone, there is no implementation in AOSP. Official devices lack it too. No developer has bothered to do volte so far (and probably won't unless there's a good reason). Other than that, we're pretty much as bugless as we can get currently.

Apart from that, only thing you could do is use OneUI mods.. volte might happen one day if someone takes the time to reverse engineer it but so far we're out of luck. This is a problem on every samsung device on AOSP, and with other makes, YMMV.

It modded with magisk and safety net pass. Debloated and such. I really like los though.

Personally I'd say los is a great experience as long as 3G calls are not a problem, I use it on my daily phone which has no volte either, but at least is maintained officially
(Also in many countries 3G is shut down before 2G so I'm pretty sure 2G can still be used in those)

How to make dual sim work?

Works out of the box if you haven't messed with the efs partition and did a clean flash. You can also try 19.1 just in case.

vendor needs to update

Why? Even the security patch wasn't bumped. It's not so urgent, it was literally released today.

muito obrigado, A70 é muito mais rápido comparado ao LOS 19.1, você tem uma recomendação de kernel?

Use the lineage kernel, it's most stable and has good performance too. Older "mod" kernels will not work with android 13

My phone can't detect sim 2 on OTA builds but in the older builds it does. A705MN/DS.
