Introduction
LineageOS 17.1 is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 10.0, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device. The port for the Exynos7580 based devices was created by @Stricted and I along with many contributions from other people in the Android community.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.
What worksCalls, SMS, Mobile Data
Camera
NFC

HWC​What doesn't work (official blockers)
IMS services (VoLTE, VoWiFi, etc). Samsung has their own proprietary implementation. It is not really possible to easily port that to LineageOS.
WiFi tether (hotspot) not functional fixed in 22/02/2020 release
HD headsets in call not working fixed in 21/01/2020 release
FP scanner has been reported unstable fixed in 22/02/2020 release
NFC HCE (GooglePay etc) fixed in 07/03/2020 release
You tell me!​
Known Issues
If you are running the latest update and are not able to enroll a fingerprint you may need to clear the fingerprint data using this zip (flashable in TWRP): https://mega.nz/#!6YZV2QTY!hOYYwrbkTPfThUIJUffOEQWMosdCxeqy_7JdGpYp3AA​
There are still quite a few features that are not yet completed for LineageOS 17.1, these are not bugs this is a beta release.
Any hardware related issues will be ignored if you do not provide:
a) Logcat
b) proc/last_kmsg
c) data/tombstones
d) dmesg
Also do not under any circumstances post bug reports if you are using substratum themes or unsupported magisk modules or you have performed any system modifications
Installation
Install the latest TWRP (Available Here)
Make a full backup (just in case something goes wrong)
Do a full wipe (Cache, Data, System)
If this is your first time on a LineageOS ROM format data
Download the latest LOS build and transfer it to your phone
Install LOS
If you are installing GApps do it at the same time (preferably in the same install queue)
And finally boot, the first boot can take several minutes as it optimises all the apps
Do NOT install the TWRP app when prompted, this will cause a bootloop​ Downloads

Great work and thanks @danwood76 for bringing 'Q' to A5
Any one wanting to use MicroG with this rom and unable to patch the rom for signature spoofing using Nanodroid can flash this, either in magisk or twrp https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261707139

Can't install busybox...
I think because the system partition has changed from /system to /system/system/ ? Weird
Now most of my apps like V4A cause a bootloop
Awesome job btw ?

"System As Root" is the new default in Android 10, it is up to mod developers to make their software work on Android 10 and not the other way round

Danny

Why GPay doesn't work?
NFC work correctly?

Well I'm glad It wasn't my fault (i thought I had done something wrong)
Thanks for the fast reply

Bugs I have faced:
- Pixel launcher and Trebuchet keep crashing the second I finish the setup process (especially Pixel Launcher), I had to disable them and install lawnchair to be able to use the phone
- disabling the default dialer also disables the call screen even if Google dialer is installed
I'm not using any mods except magisk
I'll report more bugs if I found them

NFC is tested and working.
Issues with google pay could be caused by anything from bad Gapps (OpenGapps are still in beta) to bad card details.
Does your phone pass SafetyNet?
(you can test this in Magisk)
Some mods people install break SafetyNet.
Are you able to make a log with matlog of a failed pay attempt?
I will need a verbose log from there, matlog removes sensitive information by default but send the log to me privately (usually people upload to google drive and send them to me)
Regards,
Danny

My advice would be to not install a gapps > nano. Opengapps is in beta so expect bugs.

Thanks for the information. When you try to pay, nothing happens. Absolutely nothing.

Thanks Dude for the build .... It's working fine for me.
Few bugs but I hope it'll be corrected in future releases.

Does your NFC actually work? (can be tested by using android beam to send a photo from one phone to another)
