Lineage 15.1 (Oreo8.1) for Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Just a few days ago a person named raymanfx gave us unofficial lineage 15.1 for A5 2017 . So I thought I should share this with the community. I have A520F , Rom is my daily driver there are a few bugs but the Rom is great .

Hi there, i already asked this in another thread concerning this ROM, but i'm going to ask again in case somebodey can help me. So does anyone else have problems playing YouTube videos in a resolution higher than 480p. Because for me i'm getting insane framedrops if i do so. Thanks in advance and if you need more info feel free to ask me.

Guys, recently I created Q&A topic for 8.1 A520F, please use it to ask this kind of questions

Yes I have this problem, if I play videos with 720p60 or up, video starts lagging and becomes unsynced with sound. At 720p it is fine for me.
If you find any fix tell me. ? I will tell too if I find

Motomods currently don't work with pantheon kernel. Everything else is the sane, minus the upstream patches and the features in pantheon which work fine except 230 MHz UC of the CPU. Will work on it this weekend.
between Lineage or AOSiP, which would you recommend @Uzephi?

That's on preference. I like the custom options of the owl's best in AOSiP personally

Ok so something curious happened to me, tried installing the invisiblek version of lineageOS on Twrp and now I hardbricked my cellphone. So now I just wasted $400 on a cellphone im not ever gonna use
Going to wait for a bit before I go ahead with rooting my phone as I have a Vodafone branded xt1789-06 international version. Don't want to risk bricking or loosing my IMEI as I made this mistake with my I9505. So I'm going to wait for some more development on my device.

Worked for me, so must have been how it was flashed. Did you flash the firmware files first for Nash? If not, you didn't flash right. A flash all fixed it for me when I forgot that.
I've been using linage for a few days now, I like how is a little more stable than AOSIP, and Moto mods work better on lineage, but I have a question, where can I see if the rom gets updated?
@Uzephi do you know if Lineage has been updated at all?

Audio work when recording video? That's really the only thing I'm waiting for on any of these ROMs before I flash. I have a motomod battery, so it's nice to know that'll work, but having audio while recording is way more important to me.

That's still an issue, I really don't record that many videos, so really not an issue for me.

Besides the normal LoS updates? None that I have seen on gerrit. You can always follow the development of LoS and our device by following their gerrit. I haven't checked it since two weeklies ago.
https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/nash
Link for our device specific additions, conflicts, abandons, etc.
Thanks for the reply, I found out that lineage takes advantage of Android seamless update, and I've been getting updates, just minor ones, but hopefully it'll be a fully working rom pretty soon.
I was using the build 20180515 from invisiblek and it was working very well. Today I installed the build 20180517 and the colours became funky and messy unfortunately, it cannot be used. I had to go back to the previous build.
Just sharing this here for you to know.
Scratch that, after a clean install it's all fine. No dirty flash from 0515 to 0517 then.

Means something is wrong with your setup or your phone, nothing wrong with the ROM.
Ofcourse you are not alone in this. I have seen multiple posts that screen mirroring is not working on Pie ROMs including on SkyDragon. But it works on my phone and on others' also.

As I said, screen mirroring works but not casting, in Pie. The dev of Nitrogen OS said that Mircast is not available in Pixel 2XL on stock ROM since Google removed it. He says that Chromecast will work but not Miracast.

Fingerprint not working on LOS 17.1

Hey there, can't get my fingerprint to work on LOS 17.1, it's like it's there, but it doesn't react to anything. When I go to the fingerprint settings, it ask me to touch it in order to setup the thing, but when I place my finger on it, it does nothing. Did anyone ever heard of this issue or any fix for it? Thanks in advance.

Ask the one who built your ROM. 17.1 is not official, yet. Or try a lower android version
Yes, I have the same symptoms. Which ROM are u using?
nearly the same here.. the circle goes around and is registered - until the last bit - then it fails... every time.

it depends on the LOS version and the developer. My ANE-LX1 is running LOS 17.1-unoff., fingerprint works like a charm .
Kinda mystic.. I used the losq-v224-201017-arm64-bgN.img and it won't work at all.. got ANE-LX1 hw/eu version.

Maybe you are doing something wrong, hm?
actually I now stumbled upon an Android 11 custom treble GSI that I have installed - and it works just fine.. gapps and fingerprint.. Might be my daily driver if it continues running smoothly as it does right now.

LineageOS 17.1 Problems

Hey guys,
I really like LineageOS so far. Very VERY fast and clean.
I really want to keep it - but I've got problems.
Can someone help me out please?
Problem 1: can't start with Magisk to hide the root. Can someone give me a working kernel or a guide on how to build me my own?
Problem 2: I can't use ANY Camera app. Even video call crashes. No fix found until now.
Problem 3: I installed OpenGApps and I don't even have a Gallery to see the pictures I've got on my phone? Any solution?
Greetings
Mishka

Call recorder in Lineage OS or Pixel Experience

Hi there!
Is there any chance call recorder will be working in Lineage OS or Pixel Experience? This is something I really need and would like to confirm that's feasible first before installing new rom. If anyone was able to make it working, please let me know.
Thanks,
Kamil

Hello,
Yes call recording is operational under LineageOS and works perfectly. However, this option is not available under PixelExperience.
