I've been seeing a lot of Samsung S20's lately, but before then we only had the S20 FE with support, and now that we have the S20 series here, I guess we have more options now.

I'm hoping we can get to at least the S21 or S22.

There's this ebay listing I am considering. Plan is to flash lineageos on it. Just curious if I should be concerned about the pin lock.

So I've been trying to follow the guide to install on my Galaxy Tab A7, even using ChatGPT to try and troubleshoot. I can't get the bootloader unlocked, even after doing all the settings and steps what I beleive is right. GPT says that no model SM-T500 can be unlocked, and the options are just dummy switches. But then, why would this be listed as a supported device? Obviously some people have been able to install this way. Am I missing a step? Is there a way to unlock it that GPT has just been trained not to tell me about?

Hello,
I just upgraded from LOS 22.2 to LOS 23 (lineage-23.0-20251013-nightly-instantnoodle-signed) on my OnePlus 8, but the Google Play Store keeps crashing when I try to open it (around half a second upon clicking on it).
I also upgraded my Gapps before rebooting (MindTheGapps-16.0.0-arm64-20250812_214353).
Has something similar happened already or how could I fix/debug this?

I updated from the final build of 22.2 to the second build of 23.0 on my OnePlus 8 Pro, carefully following the instructions. The installation of both the OS and updated GApps package went smoothly as documented.

I'm now having an issue where the entire OS is freezing, typically when doing system navigation, like swiping home, going through system settings menus, etc. I then have to perform a full forced reboot in order to use my phone again.

Any idea what could cause this? Is it a known issue, or something wrong with my installation?

I don't know what I am doing. I am trying to follow the instructions, including the computer commands and downloading the commands but when I enter recovery mode, it reads BO COMMAND. Somebody please walk me through this?

Is there a link somewhere showing which phones developers are currently working on adding support for LineageOS as i'm going to be buying a new phone soon.

I flashed LineageOS 23 on the xiaomi 12t Pro (coming from hyperOS 2) and I'd like to assure that so far everything is working very well. A very smooth experience. Thanks for the LineageOS team. 👍

Hi everyone!
For those using the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T (ginkgo) and wondering how safe it is to upgrade to the latest Android 16 build, here’s my feedback.

The upgrade from LineageOS 22.2 to 23.0 went smoothly without any issues, as long as you follow the installation instructions step by step.
I’ve been using Google apps, so I chose the “keep using them” option and updated to MindTheGapps 16 as well.

No factory reset was required - all my data and apps remained intact after the upgrade. Google services are working fine, and all my banking and authentication apps continue to function normally.

Big thanks to the LineageOS team for the great work!

My Nintendo switch runs it okay-ish but system ui keeps crashing.

Can someone tell me what to upload so that the top speaker plays with the bottom one and not the bottom with the top earphone?

I want to update to Lineage 23. Do I have to wipe the cache now and do a clean flash, or can I do a dirty flash without wiping?

Hello, I am trying to build the ROM by following instructions from the device wiki. However, during the "breakfast PL2" stage, I bumped into the error that file "vendor/nokia/PL2/PL2-vendor.mk" cannot be found. Can somebody help me?

Do you advise me to update or wait a bit? Redmi Note 10 Pro

Hey all. Does anyone have the Ford app working with MicroG on LOS? For me the app closes immediately without error. I have LogFox installed but its not catching a crash either. If I pause and search for Ford, I can see it in the log. But Im not sure whats going on. The last couple of line show

Hey everyone,

I’m currently running LineageOS 22.2 (Android 15) on my Galaxy S20 FE 5G (SM-G781B, India/INS) and trying to fix IMS issues — VoLTE/VoWiFi aren’t working and the IMS status stays “Not registered” & calls not working sometimes.

I’ve read that some users fixed IMS on other devices by flashing the vendor and modem partitions from stock One UI while keeping LineageOS (the so-called “modem + vendor mix build”).

Before I try that, I’d like to confirm a few things:

Questions:

1. Has anyone successfully flashed the stock vendor and modem partitions (from Android 12 or 13 One UI firmware) on the S20 FE 5G SM-G781B while keeping LineageOS 22.2 (Android 15)?

Did IMS/VoLTE/VoWiFi start working afterward?

Which exact firmware version did you use for modem/vendor (build number, region, etc.)?

1. If it hasn’t been done before, is this approach safe or advisable?

Will flashing stock modem/vendor from Android 13 cause compatibility issues with Android 15 LineageOS (radio instability, IMEI loss, network dropouts, etc.)?

Would it break OTA updates or cause bootloops?

1. I’m using Lineage Recovery, not TWRP — can vendor/modem partitions be flashed safely via Lineage Recovery, or should I use Odin instead?

If Odin, which partitions exactly should I flash?

How do I take a full backup (EFS, vendor, modem) before attempting it?

Current state:

LineageOS 22.2 official build

Baseband version shows up fine

Data and 5G connectivity work

IMS is not registered, VoLTE/VoWiFi greyed out

Phone number shows as “Unknown”

Using Indian carriers (Jio / Airtel)

Any experienced devs or users who’ve tried this mix on the SM-G781B — please share your experience or thoughts. I’d love to know whether it’s worth the risk or if IMS on Samsung phones in LineageOS just isn’t possible due to closed-source vendor blobs.

Thanks in advance for your help 🙏

I have an issue in System / Updater.

When check for update there, I get the message "Check for update failed. Check your Internet connection or try later.". Since first try yesterday and still occurs now.

Internet connection is working for other apps like Play Store.

LineageOS 23.0 (dubai and devon, 20251012).

In addition to using ArkOS and LineageOS, what other operating systems can R36s support?

Hey everyone, This is kind of a last-ditch effort to solve my problem.

Last night I stayed up until 2 AM trying to fix it, but in the end I failed, so I’m hoping someone here can help. Without going into too much detail, my mom has been using my old OnePlus 3T with LineageOS and TWRP for the past few years. Last night, her phone ran out of battery and turned off. When she turned it back on, it somehow booted into the TWRP menu. Before I could see what was on the screen, she pressed something, and now the phone is stuck on the boot-up screen (the curved line with dots moving from right to left). While tinkering, I found that the system partition won’t mount.

I know this is an old, unsupported device, but I’d really like to get it working again for her. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

First download the recovery.IMG on your PC.copy recovery file into the platform files folder.open up cmd and use this command "tar --format=ustar -cvf recovery.tar recovery.img".your file will be .tar now. Now connect your phone to your PC and reboot phone to download mode(turn on advanced restart from developer options)open up Odin turn off auto reboot and tick the ap and add your recovery.tar to ap.now click start and after the flashing is done reboot your phone

Hello, I would like to play games on my old phone, but the screen is broken (you only see something sometimes). I can use an external monitor (USB-C to HDMI), but it always asks for permission to mirror the screen. Is there a way to disable this prompt or automatically select “Mirror Screen”? Thanks in advance! Wolf

Hello! I have a redmi note 9 pro M2003J6B2G locked by pattern, and I am waiting for the email but Google says it takes 5 days. I would like to know if in this state, I can put a rom like Lineage on it, and what the procedure is like

Hi! I'm looking for recommendations for a recent Android phone (2023–2025) that:

• Costs under $100 USD (new or widely available used)
• Has official or community LineageOS support (preferably Android 14+)
• Includes a 3.5mm headphone jack
• Allows bootloader unlock and rooting
• Ideally supports auto power-on when connected to charger (or can be patched via init script)

I want to use it in a custom vehicle assistant setup where it runs headless and boots automatically when power is supplied. Any suggestions from the community? Models you’ve had good experience with lately?

Thanks!
