Can anyone comment on how their experience is with Lineage mainly around these two features.
If the Moto apps are installed do the mods still work?
Also, does the fingerprint reader work along with the physical swipes for going back and pulling up open apps?

Running LineageOS on my Note 8.0, I have searched these forums and have tried many alternatives. What I am wanting is the full official samsung air command for the spen, with the features like smart select, etc., included. Any ideas how to accomplish this?
There seems to be no way for that.
SpenCommand gives you probably the nearest thing to that:

But ive heard that earlier versions of android can be security risks... is that true? What if you never do anything critical like banking on your phone?
Ive been toying with the idea of trying a custom rom (that someone else already built lol), but, i absolutely despise the standard android toggles that are only like 3 per row and take up the whole screen. theyre massive. i LOVE how the stock touchwiz keeps everything all on the one screen in the notification drawer. Are there any roms that use this same compact design? without having the 2 screens?
ive also been toying with trying to add ram using a partitioned SD card. but i have a few quesitons about that too. first being that ive heard that you cant access your SD card by computer anymore.... so with that being the case, how do you go about backing up the data on your SD card just in case the card fails? has anyone done this successfully with this phone?
i love the small physical size of this phone, i have small hands. and newer phones, much like roller coasters, are shooting for the biggest tallest on the market it seems. im an ambidextrous swiper so even to smoosh the keyboard to one side is a pain... id be forever going into settings to switch sides. i have a tablet i do this with, its quite irritating. but the glide i can reach using either hand on full width for the keyboard. and once in a while, i do still use the physical keys
oh! also... i have played with an S5 mini (but a fake i suspect)... my captivate glide does certain things, like greenify apps, faster... for it being newer and higher ram (a bit) it doesnt seem all that... higher. so at least for the time being, im going to stick with my good ol captivate glide. the s5's haptic feedback is lousy too and thats become a feature that i just cant live without (for swipe and typing especially, but i like it for the touch buttons too). also not a fan at all of the tiles for notifications, i much prefer just having the icon up in the corner. and my screen lock does something the new one doesnt... it doesnt instantly require your pattern again even though you did power the screen off with the button. so many little things, i just LOVE about captivate glide.
Ive rambled a little but i hope anyone who has tried can point me to the best rom, if im not best off with sticking with stock touchwiz, which is what ive done until now.
if anyone still also using this phone has any tips that would be great
I'm also determined to keep it, but primary because of the hardware keyboard, which you seemingly are not using?
If you have become accustomed to your current setup, bear with it as long as you can. Yes custom ROMs are fun and glorious, but flashing and configuring can be a PITA and it doesn't sound you're the tech-savy nerd willing to fight it through.
So just go on & stick with the stock ROM. However if you can, do not use the internal stock browser but a recent Chrome version because of the security fixes it will contain.
I installed Xenon HD based Custom ROM for Nougat 7.1.2 on my Note 2 without thinking about what happens to S-Pen and the apps that it use like S-Note. But I am liking the phone after I installed this.
Hence thought I will check if there is a way I can use S-Pen and the associated apps on this Custom ROM.
Any help or, information would be highly appreciated.
I really liked the S-Note app and would like to use it or, something like it.
for note taking i currently use "Squid - Take Notes & Markup PDFs" it has some inapp purchases but the basic stuff is available for free.
But pretty much any note taking app should have support for the spen, at least the bigger ones (EverNote and such, but i never used them)
Then there are options like SPenCommand and NoteBuddy (not sure if it works on Nougat)
My preferred App for Stylus gestures is GMD SPen Control but sadly it seems that app is no longer maintained and does not work on Nougat

The problem with most of the notes app is that there is no handwriting recognition and hence S-Pen pretty much becomes useless. That is one of the reasons for my displeasure.
I would like to use the features of S-Pen. And there were a lot of my notes in S-Note which is something I haven't been able to recover or, use now.
SPencommand and Notebuddy doesn't seem to be working on Nougat.
SPencommand definitely does, i tried it for a short period but ended up getting a refund because it does not support custom gestures.
Oh i thought you meant just scribbling down some notes, i never used the recognition feature to turn it into actual text.
As far as i know there is no way to run the Samsung apps on AOSP or import data from them.
But i personally never used them, maybe someone else has some ideas.

Yeah, you are right. I tried a few others including SPenCommand. But nothing worked until now. Looks like I have to finally convince myself of letting it go..
New to lineage, just installed it on an elderly Galaxy S4 (partly because of KRACK paranoia).
I have installed lineage-14.1-20171018-nightly-jfltexx-signed on a Galaxy S4 LTE (GT-I9505).
So far everything works fine, smooth as butter, but I am missing the "SView" flip cover functionality.
While my phone reacts (goes dark) when I close the cover, all the functions of the transparent window in the cover (time, call info, alarms, etc.) do not work.
As far as I have found out, this seems to be implemented in the "FlipFlap" system app in LineageOS. It should appear in the settings as soon as the cover ist detected.
I was not able to find the app in /sytsem/apps or /system/priv-apps. How can I get this to work? Preferably without building the whole OS myself.
Any help is appreciated!

You could post in your device section. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/official-lineageos-14-1-i9505-t3573386
Closing the thread for now.
My phone history. Sony arc s lt18i. Remi note 3 kenzo. Remi note 5 pro whyred. Poco m3 citrus lime.
I have flashed phone from android 2 to A11.
I feel frustrating about A11 dynamic partition and vendor problem.
I flash custom aosp based rom and pass safety test.
Still, there are 2~3 bank or shop app not working.
And double tap to wake Ng, flicker screen issue.
Back to eu miui port.
Camera NG.
Too many useless apps.
If I use magisk model debloat method to remove apps.
I can't pass some bank and shop app.
I used to delete apps directly in lt18i phone.
Use root to delete app in kenzo phone.
Magisk hide in whyred.
Then in android 10 I need to remove magisk after delete unnecessary apps. To pass some apps test.
Now I have no choices.
I just use a java app to debloat delete apps.
But app is still there.
64 gb. System suck with 14 gb. Then with apps installed only 36 gb storage you can use.
I feel my body is not clean.
I'm sick.
Yeah that's my mind problem.
You would say. You already debloat to delete apps. You can't see apps icon in your app list.
But I know my space is got eaten.
Uh...
And still I can use camera and watch web tv.
Tbh if I want a perfect rom experience. I need to go back to A10.
In A11 custom aosp rom. They don't list double tap to wake Ng, flicker screen, bank still not pass while safetynet pass are bug.
Unfortunately I need to use eu miui port to use double tap and pass bank apps.
I don't understand why whyred roms can use these bank app but citrus can't.
Vendor problem? Idk.
If you want to flash poco m3?
Plz think more about it then do it.
I still don't know how to use 48mp and macro camera to shot in eu miui.
If you flash it.
Your macro and 48mp may be gone.
Just install bsg Gcam in stock miui system.
Then do nothing.
That what I recommend. Today is 20210702. Hope it will be better
I thought there would be much more activity around this lime phone but it looks like another dud buy for me. I was hoping it would make it onto the official lineageos list but at this rate chances look slim. When I bought it it made sense as the hardware was pretty common and there was multiple phones with the same hardware so could be a popular device. Im running an unoficial version of lineageos and although it works there are a number of issues still.
It seems like it just hasnt been popular with the devs. Maybe someone will pick it up later but we can only hope.

The android limitation when google introduced Android 10 makes it a bit harder for a dev to develop
also the android phone release too fast but the source code is released after a long time.
I've Lenovo A6000 plus back in the day with custom ROM up to Android 10
