CyanogenMod 12.1 D2SPR
You assume all responsibility if you flash this or anything from this thread. With official builds out the Google Drive link will remain valid for 4 months afterwards I will delete all builds contained within due to limited space available.
The latest TeamWin recovery is recommended
I don't do bug fixes, I just do builds. If something is broken then you'll have to wait till someone submits a patch to CyanogenMods Jira. https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa
I do not own this device, so i can't test any builds myself. I try to make regular builds for a friend and felt like sharing them with everyone on xda.
If you run into any issues make sure the firmware is version NJ2 for your modem and bootloader

Very nice. Anyone know if it boots?
The gapps link only goes up to 5.0 gapps. Don't we need 5.1?

I'm waiting to hear back to see if it works. The 5.0 gapps should work there were only minor changes to art in the 5.1, the other hooks should work since 5.1 was a minor update over all. If I stumble upon some 5.1 gapps I'll update.
Added a link for 5.1 gapps if the 5.0 don't work.
The current building doesn't work for one person, please share your results if you try

I'll try when I get off work.
Chances are the camera won't work at all in this, so keep that in mind before trying this.

Tried clean flash with just the cm-12.1-20150406-UNOFFICIAL-d2spr.zip (no gapps) and camera failed to open.
Rebooted to recovery and flashed gapps-lp-20150222-signed.zip and camera still fails to open.

Camera was still an issue with the latest cm 12.0. More than likely it'll get fixed there before they get it working in 12.1. If they get it working.

Other than the camera the build boots just fine and seems pretty snappy/responsive. Can't say anything about battery life because i only had it installed long enough to test it out
I'm trying to download the 12.1 file directly on the browser of my phone and its just opening the files in Google drive and not downloading them. Ideas? I'm just trying to save it to my SD directly instead of on the comp and transferring it to thenSD.

I finally got it downloaded through the drive app actually. Updated my S3 to the CM 12.1 today and it's running smoothly,I tell ya,it really breathed life back into this phone! I only use the phone to play CoC and don't make any calls or texts with it but damn it's smooth LoL

Nope, camera was till broken on cm12.0 when I started building these
So I eked a build out of my server, I'm pushing it to google drive now. Just for reference if anyone was wondering. It takes approximately 5~6 hrs for a full build on a non hyperthreaded Intel core 2 duo with 8GB of ddr2 ram
I'm trying a new upload method that might allow for automated google drive uploads. Please verify the MD5 sum after downloading before flashing.

Any luck on the kernel tweak that everyone is taking about to get the camera working? Seems like almost every carrier is good except Sprint right now.

Hallo Rahimali
Thanks for the share. I have tried this and apparently works ok. I'm unable to get WiFi working. Tried different gapps but there are force close issues. Any recommended gapps versions available?
Opengapps usually does the job. Flashing gapps with marshmallow is different than with prior android versions. With MM you have to flash gapps immediately after you flash the ROM (before booting up the ROM for the first time). Try and see if that resolves your FC issues
Updated to April 02, 2016 build!
I managed to get the force close issues resolved. Everything works fine except Wifi. I am unable to enable wifi as the button is greyed out. I tried enabling wifi from terminal using svc wifi enable, it enabled the button but wouldnt detect any available wireless networks. Any fixes for this?

Sorry no idea. Nobody is complaining in the 4pda forums about any WiFi issues. Did you do a clean flash? Maybe the developer, @ilichva can help?
bootloader and recovery
My XT907 is showing that my bootloader is "0x109B" and I am unsure what version of TWRP supports 6.0.1 (currently running 2.8.6.0)
Can anyone verify their settings and let me know?
I am running CM12.1 currently, so I should be able to dirty flash correct?
Thanks guys!
KKBL?
Anyone know of a marshmallow based rom that works with the kitkat bootloader for this device?

Are there any significant reasons to stay on the KitKat bootloader? Otherwise I'll just downgrade now that I'm rooted with an unlocked bootloader.
One of the most compelling reasons to stick with the KKBL would be the availability of the 3.4x kernel as opposed to the 3.0x kernel on the JBBL but feel free make your own decision. I was on the JBBL (by choice) for a considerable length of time without any apparent side effects...

That is correct.
Confirmed Working!
Can confirm this works, flashed the recovery included in the 4pda post, used it to flash the rom, gapps, and supersu. Initially booted up in Russian, but after waiting for 30 seconds or so, switched to English on its own. Setup was flawless after that, no issues to report as of now. Anyone that needs help installing the rom or downgrading from kitkat to jellybean just message me.
I thought I was the only one that ended up with default language in Russian... All the previous builds defaulted to English on install... Also when I downloaded the latest update it downloaded on my phone as a .bin not a .zip I checked the file size and contents vs what is online (after changing the extension to .zip) and everything seemed to be Ok so I installed and been up and running on latest version for 24 hours....
Had a few FC's in the beginning while changing the language to English (I have a feeling that some of my already installed apk's caused the issue) . I did do a test run before restoring my stuff and didn't have any issues during initial setup and the phone auto corrected language based off sim during initial setup.
Haven't gotten a chance to fully test this build, but I know that the issue that I was having with the native tethering soft rebooting the phone every couple of hours when active is gone! After a few more days of messing with it I will post any other issues that I come across

Trying now, just be aware that flashing WILL completely wipe your phone again... Everything is gone...
Seriously though, how hard is it to NOT wipe everything like, oh i don't know, every other phone out there...
There is not much difference between this and the last OTA update, I have found the fingerprint sensor a little better but even the security patch level says 1 March 2016... Can't say anything about battery life yet, I find it usually takes 3 days for that to settle but I really haven't seen much difference in UI or settings. Most changes must be "under the hood" so to speak... Doesn't help there's no changelog...
Found the case doesn't seem to register being closed easily so it just leaves the phone on even though I have the original case that has the screen cutout for clock and whatnot.
Keyboard still doesn't support swype...

Correction, someone has already posted the method here >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/how-to/how-to-root-elephone-9000-stock-rom-t3359315
The tutorial in the link above works for this firmware version as well.... could have saved myself a lot of time if I'd read that first lol. For convenience I've put all the files needed in a zip file (link below). Just use SP Flash Tool to flash the recovery, then flash the 2 other zip files from TWRP

trying to flash this but SPTools (5.1520.00) giving me "Error: Initializing scatter file failed. Please check the name of the scatter file which you load is legal" any ideas as to why? I have tried the other rom listed that isn't the BETA and get the same error...
Also, I don't appear to have the Allinone.bin file for the DownloadAgent, can someone please share that too me?
Thanks
Ignore that, I seem to have got it working.
Where do you get these ROMS from? I'm looking for rom version 20160318 for the p9000 lite.

Hi and sorry for the potential newb post
Been using CM / Lineage for years and never come across an individual firmware upgrade requirement until now.
I am on Lineage nightly Feb 8th and cant go any further due to:
comparing tz version TZ.BF4.0.1-83199 to tz.bf.4.0.1-76917
assert failed: oppo.verify_trustzone("TZ.BF.4.0.1-81399") == "1"
updater process ended with ERROR: 7 error installing zip file
I have the working 1+3 TWRP installed so Is it possible to upgrade the firmware only?
Or do I have to wipe and install the latest OOS then go back to Lineage?
I downloaded OOS 41 and there is a firmware folder in there with a few bin / mbn files so kinda hoping I can somehow flash just the firmware and keep my build.
Appreciate any help....
Cheers

Here is the latest firmware (4.0.3). Download firmware + modem and flash in TWRP before LineageOS.

Hey there, sorry to bug you guys. Unfortunately I'm noob so I can't comment on the main LOS thread, but I have an issue that hopefully someone can help with. Originally on CM14 nightlies, without any dramas, obviously with the change from CM on LOS I've flashed the experimental build, then the LOS nightly to get started, all went fine until the change to unified requiring the firmware update. I've installed 2nd March nightly (by editing the file to ignore the trustzone version) in case it was that, but no seems not.
I've flashed the latest FW as mentioned, and the Baseband version is M8996FAAAANAQM-1.85373.1.86546.1 so it appears I'm running definitely running the latest FW (and there were no errors on install) I then reboot to system, download the latest nightly and go to install - still getting the TZ.BF.4.0.1-83199 to TZ.BF.4.0.1-85373 error.... Have I missed a step somewhere? or is this blindingly obvious and I'm a muppet?
Any helps appreciated! cheers

Dear reader,
since a couple of days my device (samsung S7: SM-G930F) is running low on battery really quick. So I thought; it has been a while since my device asked me to update the new Lineage version. So I gave the app the instruction to look for updates, and it gave me the following notification.
Can't connect to download site. Please retry later.
When actually
You device is supported by the lineageOS team, but there are no versions that support this type of publication: Nightly. (this is translated from Dutch, so actual English sentece might be different).
Switching to Snapshot instead of Nightly in the Settings didn't help.
Then when searching again for updates it gave me the message:
No source file
Request for file: lineage-14.1-20181124-nightly-herolte-signed.zip To reconstruct the last update, the zip of the app should actually be installed. Do you want to select this file manually from storage, or download the last full zip-version?
When I press: download full zip-file it gives the following:
Error during implementation. Try to refresh.
When I click on select file (from storage), and select lineage-14.1-20180927-nightly-herolte-signed.zip, it gives me the message:
You should select the right source file. But I don't have that one on my storage; it's froma different date.
Can anyone help me please?

Chris

S7 is no longer officially supported by lineageOS. You can search here in XDA for unofficial ROMs.
I have no big hope that a new ROM will really solve your battery issue. Most of the the success stories are a result of a clean ROM installation.

In addition to the outstanding information that @kurtn had provided...
There's no Official LineageOS Updater Apps on the Play Store.
The reason is that they have an implemented LineageOS Updater built into the Firmware and has no need to provide any such app separately from the firmware. That would just be counterproductive to the built in Updater.
The LineageOS Updater App(s) on the Play Store is via a 3rd party developer. I'm not stating that any/all of them are either good or bad but, individuals need to know that their Unofficial and is in no way supported by the Official Lineage Team Maintainers.
Just a few (so to speak) words of advice to keep in mind. I remember asking about them (quite a while ago) and those were the types of words/thoughts by @invisiblek and @haggertk (whose a part the Official Lineage Lead Maintainers).
No lectures here... Just some friendly information for you My Friend!
Good Luck!

Hi Kurt and Ibuprophen, thanks for your answers!
Now I have finally holiday and time to actually fix things it's time to continue this
So current situation;
Phone running out of battery within half a day without frequent using, apps crashing > update definitely required.
Phone model: Samsung S7 SM-930F
LineageOS version: 14.1-20181124-NIGHTLY-herolte (so last update is over a year old)
Android version 7.1.2
Options:
1. Just reset to factory settings? Most easy option, but I think it will have negative influence when I use the phone for another year?
2. I found this unoficcial ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/beta-lineageos-16-0-s7-herolte-t3842465, however, it doesn't include instructions and it is very technical and it speaks of Android 9 as base, which I don't have; just 7.1.2. Would that be a problem?
3. Update to 15.1 instead if that is easier?
So what would be your advice? Please bear in mind that I am a technical noob and can only follow instructions that are extremely clear & correct
Until now I haven't found instructions I felt comfortable with unfortunately.
By the way my laptop has Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.2

2. I found this unoficcial ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/beta-lineageos-16-0-s7-herolte-t3842465, however, it doesn't include instructions and it is very technical and it speaks of Android 9 as base, which I don't have; just 7.1.2. Would that be a problem?
3. Update to 15.1 instead if that is easier?
So what would be your advice? Please bear in mind that I am a technical noob and can only follow instructions that are extremely clear & correct
Until now I haven't found instructions I felt comfortable with unfortunately.
By the way my laptop has Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.2

Oh, looks like ivan does a good job. I think it is a good idea to install his rom.
But be aware: whatever it is, that eats your battery, it can come back.
Edit: be aware: from the threads it looks like 15.1 and 16.0 are not SELinux enforcing. So the gain of security is not as high as one would expect from security patch level. So you can try a factory reset of 14.1 as well.
Do you think there is an easy, technical-illiterates-friendly way to install this version of ivan? I am not that keen to have the highest possible security.
When I am emptying the phone anyway, it seems best to me to have the most recent version (if it doesn't matter that I have android 7.1 and not android 9).

Download the zip files for rom (and GApps if needed) boot into twrp wipe system, data and caches (not internal: there are your pictures and downliads etc)
Install: navigate to downloads folder select the zip file and hipe it works.
If not: ask in the thread you linked.

Don't use that app. Use the procedures described in wiki.lineageOS.org
