Enable NFC on Samsung J5 with LineageOS 15.1 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I can't manage to use NFC on my smartphone since I installed LineageOS 15.1 on it. My smartphone supports NFC (I used it when I had the regular standard ROM).
Can somebody help me activate NFC?
I have a Samsung J5 SM-J500FN with LineageOS 15.1. (latest currently).
There is no com.android.nfc on my phone. There used to be one before I installed LineageOS, but now it is not there.
I installed Google Apps Mini which includes "Google Tags (replaces stock/AOSP NFC Tags)"
Shell command service call nfc does not work, because nfc service does not exist
"svc nfc enable" responds "Got a null NfcAdapter, is the system running?"
I don't have any NFC toggle button in the status bar, nor in Settings.
This person says that NFC isn't supported on some phones for LineageOS 14.1, but there is no list of supported devices.
On the contrary, this page says that LineageOS 15.1 supports NFC (NFC is listed in the features - though it could be not implemented in all models, I have no details).
So, basically, if NFC is supported for my smartphone, I'd like to know how to enable the feature. If not, I'd like to see why - as the phone does have the hardware feature
Thanks!

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restores the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.

Frequently Asked Questions
I've been asked to provide logcat, how do I do that?
You can either root and use an app like MatLog, or if boot logcat is required? You will need adb logcat from a PC. Here's a simple guide from the LineageOS Wiki https://wiki.lineageos.org/logcat.html
My lockscreen crashes after reboot, what should I do to fix it?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/how-to/guide-to-fixing-x2-lockscreen-crash-t3918911
I don't see an option for call recording, what's going on?
Only the stock dialer app supports it. If you install a Gapps package that overwrites the stock dialer app? It won't have call recording as well. Only the included dialer app of LineageOS is compatible to call recording since it needs to be a ROM implementation and I haven't seen a Play store app that adds support for custom ROM call recording. Please also note that call recording is blocked for countries and carriers that have laws against any form of call recording.
What is Power-off Alarm?
This feature allows you to set an alarm clock with the stock clock app included with LineageOS and then turn off the phone, and it will boot up a minute before the designated alarm time and then properly alarm. It works with the device either powered off and also offline charging.
Using a clock app from OpenGapps Stock or from the Play store is not compatible to custom ROM implementations of power-off alarm... So consider this your heads up if you didn't know that already... As I am not responsible for anyone being late for their wedding/work/school/vacation if you tried a non-stock clock app with your LeEco msm8996 device powered off. :silly:
What apps are recommended with the Open Source ConsumerIR?
(WIP! I try to include it only on unofficial builds until selinux neverallow policy compatibility is fixed... Which tbh is beyond my current skill)
Zaza Remote and Mi Remote work great. Smart Remote for Sharp TV also works. I'd recommend avoiding Peel Universal Smart Remote as it hijacks the lockscreen with ads...
Pls sir, I can't connect to my network or IMS/VoLTE doesn't work! What can I try?
Please look below at the "APNS Update from Google" section and try that. I can't offer much else for help sorry as I have zero experience with IMS/VoLTE as Canada blacklists BYOD from that feature... Otherwise if you need extra help? Hopefully someone else in the x2 community can give you advice.
What is the difference between the official LineageOS builds and unofficial?
Unofficial test builds are builds I put out to test changes before I push them to the Official builds... So please stick with Official builds if you want to play it safe... But if you wish to help test and provide feedback on changes before they go official? Unofficial test builds are the best way to do so.
Where is the QuickCharge toggle?
Settings > System > Advanced > LeEco Settings
The rear facing camera won't focus, what should I try?
Please go into Settings > System > Advanced > LeEco Settings, and then enable the focus fix. You may need to restart any open camera app or potentially reboot the system in order for the focus fix values to work.... If that doesn't resolve it? Please try EUI ROM... If it still won't focus? I'm sorry, but your hardware camera actuator is defective and you either need to try the Le Max 2 rear camera magnet trick (please Google it) or replace the rear camera hardware.
Why is our widevine level only L3?
Unfortunately Widevine L1 failed to work correctly on X2 and zl1/0... It would report we have L1 hardware support but vp9.secure and avc.secure codecs were failing to render, thus apps that used L1 like Amazon Prime would error out and revert to L3 and worst case scenario apps like Vudu would crash.
I haven't seen any fixes for those codec issues, so I gave up on it as L3 works fine.
Also, Netflix HD will never work on LeEco devices as they never got them "Netflix certified" which sounds like a money-grab move since L1 is all they should need. For example, Asus Zenfone 5z is L1 certified but not "Netflix certified" just like us and they don't get the option to stream in HD.
This explains it a lot better
https://androidpcreview.com/netflix-hd-android-tv-box/
My device doesn't show any apps in the Play Store what should I do?
https://lineageos.org/Google-Play-Certification/
exfat does not work on LineageOS, what is up with that?
LeEco Le Max 2 does not ship with exfat licensing so we are not allowed to incorporate it in LineageOS Le Max 2 builds. This was tested by both CrisBalGreece and I. If by chance there is an OFFICIAL EUI ROM build that includes exfat? Please let me know so I can test it as well... Here is the LineageOS device charter requirements on exfat
https://github.com/LineageOS/charter/blob/master/device-support-requirements.md#exfat-support
KNOWN BUGS for x2 and max_plus
Updating using the built in LineageOS updater when encrypted causes Google Play Services to crash repeatedly (updating works fine if you have Lineage Recovery installed though. Manually installing newer builds of LineageOS via TWRP also works.)
Microphone and button on 3.5mm headsets using the 3.5mm to Type-C adaptor only works with reversed orientation (IE, official LeEco adaptor with the logo facing downwards)
Dual-role USB does not work (our Type-C port can't detect if it should offer the option to host data transfer, charge the other device, or charge while using Aux out).
Taking a photo during 4K UHD video recording produces a photo with green static instead of a photo. This bug only happens in Snap camera... Google Camera Mod and Open Camera (with Camera API v2 enabled) produces pictures without issue.
Screen on Time is usually only around four to five hours (VERY hard to diagnose battery drain issues... Any logcat with references to battery drain or kernel wakelocks will help resolve this)
CDLA cell calling has crackling/popping sounds
Infinity focus not working (for panoramas, AR and some QR code scanners. Infinity focus also doesn't work in EUI ROM hmm... oddly enough some imx230_lg modules infinity focus can work if you dont need focus fix... so I blame LeEco for the messed up camera haxxs they did since s2 and zl1 have the same issues.)
KNOWN BUGS for max_plus
ES9018 Hi-Fi Audio DAC for 3.5mm headsets to Type-C adaptors does not work (this is the bug that is preventing official unified builds of LineageOS of x2 and max_plus...)
Fingerprint does not work when device is asleep (this is due to the ancient device firmware on max_plus being officially stuck on 13s... there is a pseudo 466d modem firmware fix attempt I made but have not received feedback on yet)
Boot animation does not work (this is due to a fix for screen tearing... maybe one day I'll figure out a fix for boot animation to work with the screen tearing fix)
When launching a camera app, viewfinder goes green for a second and then works normally
After using USB port with Type-C headset or OTG with a flash drive, the device cannot charge until a reboot is performed (known bug even on EUI ROM)
APNs Update from Google
Latest update: 05-06-2019 (May 6, 2019)
This is an optional update if the current APN settings from LineageOS might not be up to date for your carrier and you need newer ones. This is the official APNs list from Google.
After flashing it? Please reboot to system and then go into Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile Internet > Advanced > Access Point Names > "..." menu button > reset to default.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lineageos-for-x2/files/Mods and Tweaks/APNs Update from Google/
The official Google source git for this file can be found here:
https://android.googlesource.com/device/sample/+/refs/heads/master/etc/apns-full-conf.xml
Please note! This APNs list WILL get overwritten by the ROM on any ROM update and will need to be reinstalled.

Thanks dude, it was a much awaited built, currently downloading
Heyyo, so for the lineage-16.0-20181005-UNOFFICIAL-x2 build? Noteworthy changes:
Kernel is rebased on CAF Pie and has reworked Quick Charge code (no more QC bugs) and audio (no more Type-C to 3.5mm headphones orientation bug) from @GalaticStryder and his awesome kernel (we don't have a lot of optimizations on top as we are keeping our kernel as simple as possible, so if you want a fine-tuned kernel? I'd recommend checking out GS's thread)
Audio is kanged from gemini (Xiaomi Mi5) and brings with it a lot of changes which should improve audio quality a little
Autofocus fix will now be a build.prop implementation. Just need to use the focus fix zips in TWRP for an automatic method, or edit /vendor/build.prop and change/add persist.camera.focus_fix=1 (this change will hopefully be coming to 15.1 as well as I cherry-picked it for Oreo as well)
msm_irqbalance to help with the smoothness of the ROM (Google recommends it and even uses it on the Pixel as noted in their
Identifying Jitter-Related Jank article.
thermal-engine config from pure marlin (we have had too many complaints about heat, so we will be dropping from the current thermal-engine.conf which allowed the CPU to go up to 79°c at around 75% CPU clock speeds, but now with pure marlin it will cap out around 72°c at 50% clock speeds)
CNE, DPM and GPS are rebased on pie blobs (unfortunately, IMS, RIL and QMI are not as we haven't found a pie device with CAP pie blobs that have a compatible modem x12 device stack for us... we may be stuck waiting on OnePlus3 or Mi5 or Zuk2 because Google reworked how IMS/VoLTE works on Pie and that is causing issues for us...)

Thanks for developed it.
Testing rom now. Ok for daily driver so far. High cpu usage apps may cause heat though so can just avoid using those for now. Thanks for all your hard work!
There isn't mirroring to TV listed in the known bugs. Is it working in this ROM ?
Thanks.
Great
Awesome, can't wait to try it! Thanks to Marc and everyone who worked on it and even more so for providing details on what and how has been done, much appreciated!
Network traffic monitor, clock position and showing am/pm do not work.
Guys please don't complain about rom sided features because many of them don't work. Mention only the device sided bigs for now.
The VoLTE fix worked on first install.
After reboot I don't get the message to select preferred sim as I did on the first install, and VoLTE isn't working. Is there a way to trigger this manually? I tried playing around with the apns and had no luck.
EDIT:
Manually editing /data/system/users/0/settings_global.xml as per gerrit fixes VoLTE, but system behaves poorly. Mine was value=2 so SED wasn't working.
Will this cover both possibilities?

Thanks for quoting the complete OP. Loved scrolling through that again :good:
Hi, after flashing this rom I can't restore any other, older, backup. I tried with many differents backups (lineage, arrowos, revengeos) but I didn't succeded, and after restoring the backup, the phone goes on bootloop.
I have installed the new, unofficial, twrp, but the problem was already present before.
Someone have some idea of what could be the cause?
thanks

you have to use no treble recovery 3.2..1 format everything eccept internal storage, and restore the backup, should work...of course if the backup it's not treble..
I just solved the problem. The backup that I wanted to restore was a trebleized one. So I restored the backup, than I re-trebleized the partitions from twrp, wiped cache and delvik and reflashed the rom.
Before returning to lineage os I want to recover some important data from my previous backup
Anyway thank you.. ciao guagliò
Another great job.

Heyyo, tbh I haven't tested it so it is unknown if it works or not... I can't test it as I have a "dumb" TV so.... if anyone wants to test and report? That would be nice heh.

The VoLTE fix worked on first install.
After reboot I don't get the message to select preferred sim as I did on the first install, and VoLTE isn't working. Is there a way to trigger this manually? I tried playing around with the apns and had no luck.
EDIT:
Manually editing /data/system/users/0/settings_global.xml as per gerrit fixes VoLTE, but system behaves poorly. Mine was value=2 so SED wasn't working.
Will this cover both possibilities?

Introduction
iodéOS is a privacy-focused operating system powered by LineageOS and based on the Android mobile platform. iodéOS aims at protecting the user's privacy with a built-in adblocker and by freeing the smartphone from snitches.
The objectives in the conception of this ROM are threefold:
To keep the stability and security level of LineageOS, by minimizing the modifications made to the system. Apart the system modifications required by the adblocker, we mainly only added a few useful options commonly found in other custom ROMs, made some cosmetic changes, modified a few default settings to prevent data leaks to Google servers.
To ease a quick adoption of this ROM by new users. We especially target users that are concerned by the protection of their privacy, but are not reluctant to still use inquisitive apps like Google ones. We thus included MicroG as well as a coherent set of default apps, and simplified the initial setup of the system. Particularly, an initialization of MicroG has been made with GCM notifications allowed by default, a privacy-friendly network location provider (DéjàVu) pre-selected, as well as Nominatim Geocoder.
To provide a new and powerful way of blocking ads, malwares, data leaks of all kinds to many intrusive servers. We are developing an analyzer, tightly integrated into the system, that captures all DNS requests and network traffic, as well as a user interface (the iodé app). Compared to some other well-known adblockers, this has the advantages of:
Avoiding to lock the VPN for that use. You can even use another adblocker that uses VPN technology alongside our blocker.
Being independent of the kind of DNS server used by the system or set by an independent app: classical DNS on UDP port 53 or any other one, DNS over TLS (DoT), DNS over HTTPS (DoH), ..., as we capture the DNS requests before they are transmitted to the system function that emits the DNS request. What we do not support, is DoH when it is natively built into applications, i.e. when an app communicates directly with a DoH server, without asking name resolution to the system. It would require to decrypt HTTPS packets between such an app and the DoH server, which may create a big security hole.
Precisely mapping DNS requests and network packets to the Android apps that emitted (or received) them.
Deciding which apps have a filtered network usage (by default, all apps), and which ones can communicate with blacklisted servers.
Since its first versions, we added many features to the iodé blocker: several levels of protection, fine-grained control over the hosts that should be blocked or authorized, displaying statistics on a map to see the quantity of data exchanged to which countries, clearing statistics... We are actively developing the blocker, and new functionalities will be regularly added.
Features
Changes in LineageOS to prevent data leaks:
Default DNS server: Google's DNS replaced by Quad9's 'unblocked' servers in all parts of the system.
A-GPS: patches to avoid leaking personnal information like IMSI to supl server.
Captive portal login: connectivitycheck.gstatic.com replaced by captiveportal.kuketz.de for connectivity check.
Dialer: Google default option replaced by OpenStreetMap for phone number lookup.
Pre-installed apps:
We included many useful default apps, but our choice cannot suit everyone; so we added the possibility to remove them. It can be done at the end of the phone setup, or at any time by going to Parameters -> Apps & Notifications -> Preinstalled apps.
MicroG core apps: GmsCore, GsfProxy, FakeStore.
NLP backends for MicroG : DejaVuNLPBackend (default), MozillaNLPBackend, AppleNLPBackend, RadioCellsNLPBackend, Nominatim Geocoder.
App stores : FDroid (with F-Droid Privileged Extension) and Aurora Store.
Browser: our own fork of Firefox (with Qwant as default search engine, many other ones added, telemetry disabled, parts of telemetry code removed) instead of Lineage’s default browser Jelly.
SMS: QKSMS instead of Lineage's default SMS app.
Email: p≡p (Pretty Easy Privacy).
Camera: our own fork of Open Camera, with a few tweaks.
Maps/navigation: Magic Earth GPS & Navigation (the only one free but not open source).
Keyboard: OpenBoard instead of AOSP keyboard.
PDF: Pdf Viewer Plus.
Personnal notes: Carnet.
{Ad/Malware/Data leak}-blocker: iodé.
News: to keep users informed about our developments, as well as a FAQ.
Meteo: Geometric Weather.
Pre-included FDroid repository:
The apps that we tweak or develop (microG services, the browser based on Firefox, the News app, Open Camera ...) are available through a repository that we included in FDroid (check the "Apps for iodéOS" category). For this purpose and to avoid name conflicts of some apps, we also had to make a few changes in FDroid.
Useful options from other custom ROMs:
Smart charging (disables charging when a given level is reached, to protect battery health).
Fingerprint vibration toggle.
Swipe down to clear all in recent apps (Android 10 only).

Due to an incompatibility in the data encryption method, a factory reset is required to migrate from iodéOS 2 to iodéOS 3 or later. It can be installed as OTA by using this updater. Backup your data before proceeding.
The data format must be performed with iodé's recovery, not TWRP, which can be found here.
04/04/2023 (build 20230401):
Upgrade to iodéOS 4.1 based on Android 13 / LineageOS 20
Blocker: improved use of blocking lists (sub-domains blocking)
FDroid: fixes an issue on apps update
LineageOS synchronized with March security patch included
All apps updated
07/02/2023 (build 20230131):
Blocker:
Improved blocking settings. You can now choose 'Standard' blocking (ads, trackers, malwares, etc) or 'Reinforced' blocking (same objective but more extensive), and then select additional categories.
The 'Porn' category has been extended to a wider 'Sensitive content' one, that also includes fake news, gambling, drugs, piracy, torrent..., with mainly child protection in mind.
The 'Extreme' category has been removed, as it is now part of the reinforced blocking.
Improved blocking lists. We merge several acknowledged and up-to-date sources, and have diversified our sources to produce more complete lists. The standard list has however been reduced a bit, to avoid as much as possible interference with apps expected behavior.
Added a new network location provider: Local NLP Backend. It is an improved version of the DéjàVu NLP backend which was already available in iodéOS. Like DéjàVu, it builds a local database connecting localizations learned from other NLP backends and apps using GPS, and mobile antennas/Wifi; but also has an active mode (not preselected) that can trigger GPS requests. To configure it: Settings -> System -> microG -> Location modules

I have a question: All AOSP-based Android 10 ROM's are plagued with this issue: There is massive touch delay/sensitivity issues when playing mobile games (Source 1, Source 2).
And because this ROM is based on AOSP, is this bug also present? I don't have time to try out any custom ROM's now, so I kindly ask.

To avoid forced encryption on first boot and make it optional to enable from device settings with official lineage or roms based on the official trees like this. You should use vendor_overlay for a modified fstab, or modify your stock vendor fstab.
Something like this synt4x93/android_device_samsung_universal9810-common/commit/67db1379fc6850228310525ffb1f4ec8df95f26e

when i try to start a call, doesnt appera call screen
so i cant stop a call or use speakerphone on samsung Note 9
So far so good - everything seems very stable and I haven't encountered any annoying bugs after roughly a day of use. Only issues I've had are as follows:
1. Developer mode
It says it has worked after tapping the build number repeatedly but then I don't see any Developer Options available in the settings. Am I missing something?
Scrap that, I finally found it. Under Settings -> System -> Advanced -> Developer options. Looks like the only 'problem' was my unfamiliarity with LineageOS changes to settings menus.
2. Limited USB connectivity
I can't see the phone at all when connected to a PC via USB cable and booted normally. I've gone into Developer Settings and set default USB mode to 'file sharing' but it still doesn't show up and I don't get any option to change the mode as I would normally expect. The device is detected fine in bootloader and recovery modes. I've tried different USB cables and a different laptop to help rule those possibilities out. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
3. Forced encryption
Synt4x.93 said:
If any users want to do this without recompiling, just put the modified fstab from that commit in /system/product/vendor_overlay/29/etc/fstab.samsungexynos9810 and set the usual permissions and format /data again.

To access /system I assume you need root access. Typically I would do this by flashing Magisk but I can't flash anything from recovery without a full wipe when the data partitions are encrypted. How does one get around this chicken-and-egg problem?
Fixed with a generic script

the only bug i found is from front camera when "selfie mirror" is enabled the camera app will crash after capture
If anyone else wants to get their Note 9 up and running with this ROM with minimal hunting around, here's what I'd suggest (assuming coming from a stock firmware). You will end up with iode + Magisk + no 'data' encryption (so for example you can still access your Data partition from recovery).
You will need:
Odin installer from https://odindownload.com/download/
Tested with: https://odindownload.com/download/Odin3_v3.13.3.zip
(there is a newer version 3.14.1 but I already had 3.13.3 so tested with that)
TWRP installer in .img.tar format from https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxynote9.html
Tested with: https://dl.twrp.me/crownlte/twrp-3.5.0_9-1-crownlte.img.tar.html
lode ROM from https://github.com/iodeOS/ota/releases/tag/v1-crownlte
Tested with: https://github.com/iodeOS/ota/releases/download/v1-crownlte/iode-1.1-20201224-crownlte.zip
Magisk zip installer from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk
Tested with: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v21.4/Magisk-v21.4.zip
Disable DmVerity ForceEncrypt fix from https://github.com/Zackptg5/Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt
Tested with: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=17248734326145725184
and also a PC for running the Odin software.
Summary of install steps
Update phone to latest official firmware
Restart phone in bootloader mode and flash TWRP with Odin. If you've never done this before there is a decent guide here: https://www.droidthunder.com/install-twrp-recovery-on-samsung
Restart phone in Recovery mode (TWRP).
Use Wipe -> Format to completely wipe the existing Data partition.
Copy the iode, Magisk and 'disable forced encryption' zip files to your phone. Then from TWRP install them in order of iode, Magisk and "Disable DmVerity ForceEncrypt". Do not restart the device in between each step.

2. it doesn't work. There is no such prompt on the phone. It's weird because I can see the phone just file and transfer files in recovery mode, just not when booted into the main OS. It works on pretty much every other Note 9 ROM i've tried for more than 5 minutes.
3. Thanks, I went by that route too in the end.
Having used this for over a week now, just reporting back that it has been rock solid and I get around 2.5 days of fairly average use between needing to charge.
Regarding the not showing up PC connection issue, it started working when I flashed the no-encrypt patch immediately after flashing the main ROM image. I'm not sure if it is directly related but I'm happy it's working anyway.
This is going to be my daily driver for the foreseeable future. Thanks to both Lineage and iode teams for making it easier than ever to have a stable and functional Android device with as little Google snoopery as possible. Great work!
Is there any way to add additional rules to the iode blacklist? It's all very well having a built-in firewall of sorts and dashboard showing blocked traffic but it's kind of useless if you can't easily add things to it (e..g Facebook tracking URLs which aren't blocked by iode by default)

Hi,
not yet possible but we will add blocklists in march, and the possibility to tweak your own hosts in the following months. You can also join our beta tester group if you want to get updates a little sooner than official OTAs

Hi, I've tried the ROM and it's working nicely. Everything seems to function, even the rounded corners are perfect... at least on the top. The corners at the bottom have what seems like a one or two pixel gap/line. I hope this is not just me and is fixed soon.
I have a question. Is this version with encryption enabled OoTB? Cause previous version was and I would need unencrypted version (am using app with it's own encryption witch doesn't work with encypted phone).
Update: Thx for providing never version of OS
Everthing works just fine.
However I found some issue (maybe it's just on my end):
when I tried to update the apps with automatic update the Play Store somewhat just hang at Waiting.
No updated files where downloading, the circle icons was spinning but nothing happened. After an hour or so I just aborted the update and went updating manually one app after another. And it worked!
SO as I said I don't know if it was something on my end or it was some hickup with Play Store, but the OS works great.
Thx again

Hello,
I'm using this rom since couple of time now, the past version aswell.
I have to say that this is the best rom ever for redmi 7A.
Baterry is perfect everything smooth
I noticed one probleme about Vowifi that i can't make it work, at least Volte is working properly.
i tryed to use last xiaomi firmware flash, reset apn etc.. almost everything, IMS says registered volte: avaible vowifi: unavaible so i guess it's maybe a rom problem if other people can test. FRANCE: FREEMOBILE.
Thanks
Could you please tell me how to install it?
I installed twrp64 but after flash this rom it reboot only to twrp
i don't know dzikk it works directly for me .
the only problem for me on this rom is vowifi not working with france provider FREE MOBILE.
If you have any idea how i can fix this thanks
Tryed to make vowifi working following this tutorial :
[GUIDE] Activate VoWiFi / WLAN Call
First of all a BIG thanks to ed-gonzo He made this possible :) This is the instruction to activate VoWiFi / WLAN Call on the Poco F1 Its tested and verfied to work with EU ROM (Oreo , Pie and Q based) and german provider o2 (Telefonica) Before...
forum.xda-developers.com
The phone keep disconnecting, reconnecting never end ..from computer when usb plug after this command:
setprop sys.usb.config diag,serial_cdev,rmnet,adb
tried on 2 pc with qualcom driver.
At least if i put android in DOWNLOAD MODE its working fine the phone is recognized with qualcom driver by QPST TOOL..
Hello,
Can you add to the Kernel the use of OTG and simultaneous Charging on the Redmi 7A? I don't know how to do it, but I know other people did it with other phones, such as all the sunxi chip using devices (https://linux-sunxi.org/USB_OTG_Charging_Hub) as well as https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...charging-adaptor-on-my-moto-g-xt1032.3431856/ or the Timur's Kernel the https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-nexus-7-2013-timurs-v4-0-android-6-0-1-mob30x-flo-deb.3523149/.
If you don't plan to add it to the official rom, could you at least tell me how to modify the Kernel to permit simultaneous OTG and charging and what to modify?
Thanks for your time,
Best regards,
Golobolo
Hi! Any way to do this on 32 bit Redmi 7A? tysm...

LineageOS 19.1 for SM-T580 (gtaxlwifi), SM-T585 (gtaxllte), SM-P580 (gtanotexlwifi), and SM-P585 (gtanotexllte)

This is LineageOS 19.1, which is based on Android 12L, for variants of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1" (2016), which have models and codenames as follows:
SM-T580, with codename gtaxlwifi
SM-T585, with codename gtaxllte, along with SM-T585N0 and SM-T585C
SM-P580, with codename gtanotexlwifi, along with SM-P583
SM-P585, with codename gtanotexllte, along with SM-P585M, SM-P585Y, SM-P585N0, and SM-P588C
LineageOS doesn't need much of an introduction - It's a well-known custom firmware/Android distribution.
Some useful information for devices from China (SM-P583, SM-T585C, SM-P588C, and SM-T580 on the CHN CSC) - For unlocking the bootloader before installation, an app, "CROM Service", would need to be opened and the prompt from it accepted so that it can be unlocked, after enabling the "OEM unlock" setting in developer options. It should be available from the Galaxy Store, although I can't be 100% sure about it. In any case, an APK of it should be easy to find.
As was the case with LineageOS 18.1, I've taken over maintaining 19.1 for gtaxlwifi from @followmsi, and my 19.1 builds continue on from his 19.1 builds that were intended for use by users. To update from his builds, my builds can simply be installed on top of an existing install from his builds without doing anything further (or "dirty flashed").
For those running 18.1 or 17.1, upgrading to 19.1 is possible through the procedure I've explained before here and here (except with 19.1/Android 12 and 18.1 rather than 18.1/Android 11 and 17.1 for that second post). I highly suggest backing up any important data before trying to upgrade. In the unlikely case the upgrade fails, and it doesn't boot, data would need to be formatted.
For those who used WiFi-only variant builds on an LTE variant device, installation of a proper LTE variant build on top of an installation from a WiFi-only variant build is possible, except for a small issue you may encounter after doing so. See issue 3 in the "known workarounds and issues" section below for it.
LineageOS 19.1/Android 12 usability fixes
For those wanting to disable the widely disliked taskbar (the grey bar at the bottom with the 3 navigation buttons and shortcuts for apps docked at the launcher): Instructions for doing so are in the first section of my post here.
For enabling lockscreen rotation: Instructions for doing so are in my post here.
For those needing Google apps: Do not use heavy Google apps packages, as otherwise, you WILL have severe performance issues. Instead, use the most minimal variant of your chosen package. For example, for OpenGapps (no longer maintained officially, with no Android 12L packages, so use @ipdev's latest unofficial build available here), that is the pico variant, and for NikGapps (note that it now seems to more often be problematic, probably better using something else), that is the core variant.

Changelogs
Builds for 20230603:
Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20230505 Android security updates.
Support for revision 7 gtaxllte devices, which were apparently exclusively for 2020 students in Egypt, has been added. (Note: Boot image here required for a change needed to boot on the 7th revision for the 20200603 build, the change will be included in all future builds making it unnecessary for them.)
Previous releases
Builds for 20230419:
Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20230405 Android security updates.
Linaro's new SLSI BSP (Board Support Package, containing sources for HWC and some other stuff) sources are now used - Much more up-to-date than the previously used sources, and there's possibly a small improvement in performance.
The OMX hardware video decoder and encoder libs are now built from the new Linaro BSP sources - With that, playback of HEVC videos is fixed in Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers.
Some updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel as of March have been applied to the kernel.
The wireguard kernel module has been added back - I silently removed it in the previous builds since it was unusable due to a now fixed device lockup bug that caused almost total unresponsiveness after enabling a wireguard VPN.
Builds for 20230128:
Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20230105 Android security updates.
[LTE variant-specific] Issues with mobile networking not working have been fixed.
[gtanotexllte-specific] Additional issues with bootlooping and rebooting during the boot animation have been fixed.
Open source aptX encoder libraries, from sources adapted from Qualcomm's recently upstreamed to AOSP open source code, are now used.
Builds for 20221231 and 20230101:
Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20221205 Android security updates.
Some more miscellaneous cleanups have been done.
Initial builds for gtaxllte and gtanotexllte.

Builds for 20221127:
Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20221105 Android security updates.
Builds for 20221020:
Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20221005 Android security updates.
Performance of animations has been improved slightly further.
Configuration files for media codecs and profiles have been updated from Samsung's M105FDDS4CVG1 firmware, and audio codec support might be improved slightly (as the Codec 2.0 media codec framework has been fixed and is now used).
Some updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel have been applied to the kernel.
Builds for 20220929:
Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20220905 Android security updates.
The torch has been fixed.
Performance of animations and responsiveness has been improved slightly.
Some updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel have been applied to the kernel.
[SM-P580/gtanotexlwifi only, already fixed in T580 builds long ago] An issue where the displays backlight would be turned off completely when setting very low brightnesses, causing nothing to be visible on the display (unless very faintly if you shine a torch or a different bright light source on it), has been fixed.
The WiFi drivers RX wakelock feature has been disabled - Heavy battery drain that occurred in sleep when connected to certain WiFi networks due to "qcom_rx_wakelock" wakelocks has been fixed.
Builds for 20220824:
Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20220805 Android security updates, and a fix for "Intent Filter Verification Service" crashes that occurred in few/some cases with no Google apps or with MicroG.
Some things that appeared that are only relevant for devices with mobile networking (such as the baseband version and SIM status sections in About tablet in settings) no longer appear.
The ZRAM size has been increased to 2GiB, and the swappiness is now set to 100.
A higher frequency (1246MHz, was 902MHz previously) is now set for the interactive CPU governors "hispeed_freq" value - This improves responsiveness slightly.
The sepolicy containing device-specific SELinux rules has been improved slightly.
Yet more miscellaneous cleanups have been done.
Some updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel have been applied to the kernel.
Builds for 20220724:
Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20220705 Android security updates.
Some updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel have been applied to the kernel.
Builds for 20220620:
Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20220605 Android security updates.
Network traffic monitoring now works (as some changes reverting the removal of the old, non-eBPF, method of doing it that the old 3.18 kernel only supports have been applied, thanks to @rINanDO for them!).
One of Lineage's changes to the default keyboard, likely to be causing a problem where the keyboard appears full screen with no keys in very few cases, has been reverted.
Many updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel, and some from a few other sources, have been applied to the kernel.
The issue where trying to power off, or reboot to recovery or download mode, would sometimes cause a normal reboot has been fixed.
A small fix to the kernel has been applied that fixes occasional soft reboots, that were caused by a change I made a very long time ago that had only started causing such soft rebooting problems with Android 12.
Builds for 20220523:
Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20220505 Android security updates and an option for disabling the taskbar.
The problem where enabling the "Enable on-screen nav bar" option at Settings -> System -> Buttons caused touchscreen input to be disabled has been fixed.
Native support for IPsec tunnels has been enabled.
Support for Vulkan compute is now declared.
A new custom version of the open source Samsung audio HAL from Lineage's android_hardware_samsung repository is now used, rather than the stock, heavily-patched, proprietary Samsung audio HAL, with some fixes for a problem that made it unusable before where occasionally, audio would get outputted from both the speakers and the headphone jack.
The playback and low-latency capture period sizes have been reduced to 128 in the open source audio HAL, which reduces audio latency.
Pro audio support is now declared, since with the reduced period sizes, as well as with the use of the open source audio HAL, round-trip audio latency has been reduced enough for it.
Many updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel have been applied to the kernel.
Several fixes to the Sony HID driver in the 4.9 Android common kernel have been ported over to the kernel - Sony DualShock 4 controllers should now work properly.
Initial builds for 20220416 (This changelog continues on from @followmsi's last 19.1 build that was intended for use by users):
Latest changes from LineageOS.
SELinux is now set to be enforcing after having addressed new SELinux denials with 12.
Assisted GPS has been fixed.
ADB is no longer enabled by default or on boot.
The tablet product characteristic has been added back after being mistakenly removed - Places where the device was referred to as a phone (such as the "About phone" section in settings) will now refer to it as a tablet again.
The Widevine DRM blobs have been updated to 1.4 blobs from the latest stock firmware for the Google Pixel 3a XL.
A new wcnss_filter binary built from sources is now used to properly fix an issue where Bluetooth couldn't be re-enabled after enabling and disabling it once, and the old workaround for it has been removed.
Some other miscellaneous cleanups have been done.
There are a few updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel and Samsung's A600FNXXU9CVB1 kernel sources to the kernel.
An issue where the displays backlight would be turned off completely when setting very low brightnesses, causing nothing to be visible on the display (unless very faintly if you shine a torch or a different bright light source on it), has been fixed.
Known issues and workarounds/fixes (if any)
Issue 1 - Squashed (rear) camera previews, and videos at some resolutions: Camera previews for images to be taken at resolutions with aspect ratios other than 16:9 using the rear camera are squashed from 16:9 (while final saved images at any resolution are unaffected by any squashing), and videos taken at some resolutions are affected by similar issues with squashing in previews, and, in a smaller set of resolutions, also in final saved video files. (Note that these issues don't affect the front-facing camera)
Somewhat of a workaround: Use resolutions at which there are no issues with squashing from 16:9.
Issue 2 - LTE variants - In-call echo: There may be echoing that can be heard by the person you're calling while using speakers.
See my post here for more on this issue.
(Temporary) Issue 3 - APN issues on LTE variant devices - after installation of a proper LTE variant build on top of an installation previously from a WiFi-only build: On an LTE variant device, after installing a proper LTE variant build on top of an existing installation from a WiFi-only build, when going to APN settings, at Settings -> Network and Internet -> SIMs -> Access point names, an error is displayed that APN settings cannot be changed by the current user (or something similar).
Fix: Tap the 3-dot menu at the top right, and select "Reset to default", and then select the relevant APN.
(Minor cosmetic) Issue 4 - Incorrect model displayed on devices with region-specific model numbers
I'll take a look at fixing this issue up later on.
Issue 5 - LTE variants - Bluetooth calling doesn't work: There isn't any call audio over Bluetooth audio devices. Any call audio with a Bluetooth audio device connected will be routed to the built-in speakers.
Issue 6 - LTE variants - No VoLTE support: VoLTE currently can't work on any Samsung devices due to Samsung's proprietary implementation in stock firmwares not working on AOSP.
Something notable is that with Android 12, encrypted data can't be decrypted in TWRP recovery. That problem can only be fixed within TWRP, but with the fixes only being in Android 12L TWRP sources, which we can't build our TWRP builds from due to issues, it continues to exist.
To report further issues, get a log from logcat and dmesg. If you're unsure on how to get either, there's good documentation out there for how to do so.

That's great news TALUtXDA! Congrats on 19.1!
I had been hoping for the Widevine L1 on 18.1. And I was also noticing the "About phone" thing, on 18.1
I guess those fixes were only possible on 19.1
Just curious, does 19.1 fix that crash when we click on settings from the quick pulldown?

It isn't possible to have the L1 Widevine security level. It would be possible to get L1 to appear to work (meaning L1 is reported to be the security level), but it would actually just get dropped down to L3.
For that "About phone" thing, that small problem was just caused by a mistake I made. For 18.1, it only exists in my last builds since only those are affected by it. It'll be fixed in the same way I've fixed it in my new 19.1 builds in my next 18.1 builds.
Yes, the crashes that happened when tapping on the settings button or holding the quick settings tiles on the notifications pulldown once after boot in 18.1 no longer occur under 19.1.

I think stock Android 6 on the tablet had Widevine L1. Didn't it? I don't know how it all works, but I do wonder what is missing. When you posted that you had used the Pixel 3a blobs, I had thought that was whatever blackbox did the widevine L1. I see I was wrong. I guess whatever blobs and whatnot from Android 6 aren't compatible with our LineageOS setups?
If you could explain a bit more of the Widevine internals as it relates to L1 on these tablets, just to cure my ignorance, I'd appreciate it. I've been wondering about it for a while. I can program in assembly language and C, so don't pull any punches.
This is great, thx so much!
One question for installation: you described how to switch from followmsi's 19.1 build to your's but if coming from your last 18.1 (!) build what steps are needed to upgrade to your 19.1 build?
Happy Easter!
I am new to these ROM but am looking for one that will run games better. I play Final Fantasy Brave Exvius and the game continues to need more power to run it. I have a ‎Samsung Galaxy Tab A T580 and was wondering if this ROM will run the game faster? The only app I installed is the game. Besides that, I use Chrome for web browsing but nothing else. In the past, resetting the tablet to factory would help a little but not anymore. Will this help for what I am looking for? If not, I am open to all suggestions short of buying a new one at this time. Thanks
Good work. Upgrade from 18.1 worked flawlessly except for this that appeared and dont know how to remove it.

It would also work on the Android 8.1 stock firmware.
The Widevine DRM HAL, which is what I updated, is part of it. There's also a liboemcrypto.so blob, and Mobicore/the Trustonic TEE, along with relevant "trustlets" for it. WIth a working combination of the Widevine DRM HAL, liboemcrypto blob, Mobicore blobs, and "trustlets", it would be possible for the Widevine security level to be reported as L1. But, still, it would be dropped down to L3.
The commit message for the commit here removing the liboemcrypto blob and also replacing two other DRM-related blobs for Exynos 7580 devices describes, in actuality, Samsung as disabling L1 on devices that are modified in any way. Who knows how that happens or where along the line it does, seeing as all low-level device-specific stuff is, of course, undocumented.
I don't think it's worth continuing discussion on that topic. It's dead-end and I personally have a very poor understanding of it all, as I imagine almost everyone else does. There's no getting back the L1 security level.

That's the new, pretty intrustive and seemingly also buggy, taskbar in Android 12L.
The only way to somewhat get rid of it is to switch to gesture navigation. Oddly, there's no three buttons for navigation on your taskbar there, so I'm not sure if you have it enabled already, and just need to hold down on it to switch to a navigation "pill".
That can most easily be done by running this command in an ADB shell or a shell with root access otherwise (run `su` in any other type of shell, such as one through an app, to get root access):
Code:
cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural
With it, a small white pill, along with some space around it, replaces the taskbar for navigation. Holding it down would switch back to a taskbar, and holding it down again would switch back to that pill. Note that as it's gesture navigation, you'd have to get used to either using the gestures or ignoring that they're there, especially since they interfere with some gestures in some apps.
Unfortunately, at the moment, we don't have anything else besides switching to gesture navigation to get around it. This all came down from Google/AOSP (the Android Open Source Project) itself. Here's hoping Lineage makes improvements or improvements are made under AOSP to this navigation stuff.

My Sam Galaxy Tab A T580 is totally stock and updated. Will this ROM work for me? Also, will it help with gaming? Sorry I am a newb when it comes to this stuff. Sorry, I am confused by all the bulds and if I need to install a certain one before I can install the newest build.
@ TALUAtXDA and @followmsi thank you for your hard work for this tablet, i hope lineage find a way to remove this nav bar, everything seems to work for the moment

This is a big problem for me too. I've already tried using the command with su in a terminal and it doesn't work at all.

Long click makes it a line but if you click the hardware buttons then it returns to the default full form.

I guess that's the taskbar which was introduced in Android 12L. Android 12L is designed for foldables and devices with large screens, so with a taskbar, you could speed up multi-tasking.
I found a way to remove the taskbar. Go into Developer Options, go to Minimum Width, and set it to any value below 600 dp, which is the minimum value to trigger the taskbar. Please post the outcome.

400 dpi 640 dpi
It does not save any DPI data for me, it returns to 640.
Even if you hide the bar, it reappears randomly.
The ROM is going great, but android 12 is a bit cumbersome. Buttons and slide very large.
