Thank you sibs\o.o/
would you have any love for klteduos variant? (dual sim version of klte). I guess you’re still putting in features (RIL issues you mentioned, I guess), but if you could look at putting in dual sim version of the modem etc.

Thank you!

I have the Lineage OS 16 on Samsung S5 and just installed Lineage OS 17 but the mobile network on the Samsung S5 has a sim card and this build of OS 17 is saying (no sim card) no matter how many times installed so it make’s the mobile network useless

Hi! Thanks for your post!

I’m completely new to custom mods, but I want to continue using an old Samsung s7 active (G891A) as the system becomes slow even after reset.
Wonder if this tutorial would also work for G891A?

Thanks!
