Hi hennymcc & CTXz,

because of the bt stuttering in car, it is possible to change the audio.a2dp.default.so from the last kk4.4.x to get it work.... Only a idea
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] CTXz:
Hennymcc already tried that.

update: bluetooth is working. I could connect with two devices, a speaker that can be used for making calls and a radio (also a speaker). However, I have not tested phone options thoroughly, so I might still run into some problems. It's not a big deal for me, I'm hardly using bluetooth for making calls.

WhatsApp camera bug still a problem?

Hey guys, I read many things about the WhatsApp camera bug, and I unfortunatelly have it aswell. In case someone doesn't know about the problem:

Changing to front camera leads to ANR (App Not Responding)

If the camera is already set to the front one, taking a photo leads to ANR

After that, neither WhatsApp nor the stock camera can connect to the camera

I read about possible fixes which somehow worked for some guys. I tried to flash this Camera Fix (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/17-fixed-camera-app-lib-cm-aosp-roms-t2505973) or to use this app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.billgbennett.camerafix, that app doesnt even start), but both didn't work :(

Maybe I did something wrong during installation? I hope somebody can help me there :(

Thanks!

Guys, another issue Ive found with G800M is the lack of 4G, Latin American version works with 4G and CM12.1 only has 3G, and even that, it wont pass from H.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] SerchStmp:
Im sorry if Im bugging you so much but... Does anyone know how do I make Recent Apps button do its original function instead of being the Menu button? Thanks!

More issues found this far:

Apps suddenly open by themselves. (Chrome, 3 times, Facebook 2 times, this far)

Flashlight sometimes wont turn off, but I guess this isnt a S5 Mini issue, S3 Mini has the same issue.

When I change between users, Sistem UI and Android Sistem crash, but they work again after a few seconds.

In the second user I made, I can't change the wallpaper (I got stuck with Black Hole animated wall)

Netflix won't run. Error (-9)

If there is another issue Ill post it here ?

Henny is not dead guys. I'm working with him on cm13. Priority is the wifi. It has something to do with the kernel and IP6tables.

Wallpaper for lockscreen can be changed from theme engine

It's not fault of this ROM, that it can't be changed like before, just android L's fault, at least that is what I understand :)

Sugestion for camera to all ussers

If google camera is not good enough just flash addon from gapps addons and install CameraMX but install it from the app black market wich you can download with your browser, that camera program is the best i ever tryed alot better over google stock camera, try it you will love it, YOU DONT NEED TO remove existing camera program, you can install CameraMX without it.... just download black market and that's it ! enjoy !

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

Also, as in CM13, the pulse sensor can be tested to see if it works with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.macropinch.hydra.android (in CM13 it works).

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] ChrisP:
Google Fit is using an other step detection system than Samsung, so the step counter ist only for SHealth.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] pojir:
You can use Odin even if the phone is rooted, it doesn't matter. But if you want to use something else (heimdall etc.) then you can just unpack the tarball using any common packing software - e.g. 7-zip or winrar.

Thanx will try this one ..when my wife is home ..!! ;)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] bouncinglime:
Very first thing I did after downloading everything was VolDown + Home + Power to boot into Odin. I get the confirmation screen, accept that, and then an Android logo and "Downloading Do not turn off target !!"

What's going on? Should I just wait? There's no indication that anything's actually happening.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] nico_vo:
When its in that mode, is when you have to use Odin to flash the recovery, from where you can wipe everything and install the ROM..

Enviado desde mi SM-G800F mediante Tapatalk
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] bouncinglime:
What I figured out was that "use Odin" means "launch the Odin desktop app". It's very confusing because that screen on the phone also says Odin. I am in the process of pulling together a screenshotted step-by-step guide which I will post here when it's done.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] fattymcdirty:
Is this one actually quite stable? What is that "Hall-Sensor" thing?

Tried CM13, but overall smoothness is not that great :/
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] ayke:
The Hall sensor is the compass, I think: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect_sensor

I made it work by rotating the phone twice over each of its three axes after a reboot: that's a way to recalibrate the compass. Otherwise it has been very stable in my experience, apart from YouTube and the camera crashing occasionally (now I'm using CM13, which does not have these issues).
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] lfom:
It isn't. Magnetometer is the compass, Hall sensor is usually used with accessories like SView cover, it detects when the cover is closed because there is a magnet in it.

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] vodka666:
Sadly the Devs don't give a f*ck about them bugs and left us with a unfinished version. Camera bug and slow Charging make this ROM useless. I'm waiting for the official release from Samsung.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] passie99:
You should be careful what you say. Don't forget: they are not paid for doing this. This use their freetime for making us happy with updates. Furthermore there are a lot of supported roms like slim 6 which have less bugs and are still in development.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] tet-bundy:
I've got good news for u! Cm is open source! So why don't u go on and build for us a finished version of cm :))

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] pojir:
You're trolling, right? What would be the point of fixing this old CM12.1 when there's CM13? And per your wait for official release from Samsung - this CM12.1 is based on Android 5.1.1 and the official releases of 5.1.1 from Samsung have been out for months now: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G800F/
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] CTXz:
Hey vodka666, thanks for your feedback.

I would highly recommend bringing your device to the nearest Samsung store, I'm sure they will be able to fix the camera and slow charging. Hopefully that will fix your issues. If you're still not satisfied with the ROM, there is no need to wait for a official Samsung release. Instead ask someone in the store to install Marshmallow on your device, it only takes a couple of minutes after all ;)

Hope I helped and tell me how it goes :)

Your noob, careless and useless dev, CTXz
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] vodka666:
I did contact the Dev and offered some money to fix these issues five months ago. No reply. This rom is dead my friend. To many new devices

coming out.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Andi!K:
Of course 12.1 is dead. Just like Kitkat or Jelly Bean :)

Did you notice CM13, Bliss, RR, Slim, ...?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] vodka666:
Yes i am. Why they don't use drivers of the official release to fix this version, instead of hopping on to the next version and make a new unstable release? The [G800F/M/Y][ROM][6.0][MHC19J] CyanogenMod 13.0 for G800F/M/Y [Beta 25/03/2016] seems to have the exact same issues. A stable CM 12.1 would be perfect for this device.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Andi!K:
Could well be that this would have been a good idea. Although I am more than happy with each of the several MM Roms that are available.

But your question why they have decided to "hop" to CM13 is very easy to answer: because they wanted to.

They are doing this in their spare time, it is their hobby. They do whatever they want, and they are kind enough to share the results with the community. We (the users) are not in a position to demand anything. We can give feedback, we can make suggestions, but that's not what you do.

When you are spending time with any of your hobbies, would you want to justify yourself for what you are doing or not doing, especially towards pepole you do not even know?

You are not the first one here with this attitude and, honestly, I could well imagine that people like you might have been one of the reasons for hennymcc and CTXz to stop working on this device...
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Andi!K:
OK, looks like we have to start with the basics (excluding the very basics like politeness etc)...

Maybe a brief explaination of the "Alpha" status helps: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Alpha

If you are looking for stable release, why do you install an alpha?

Why don't you try CM13, which is very good as a daily driver?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] vodka666:
Because from what I read it has the same issues. What's the difference between an [Official][Alpha] and an [Unofficial][Beta] :laugh:
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] CTXz:
I apriciate your suggestion

The android framework is split in multiple layers, one of those ls the library layer which consists of multiple android HALs and modules. Those are the ones causing most of the issues, not the drivers that are located in the Linux Kernel. While we wish we could use open source alternatives, we're mainly forced to use the libraries for the stock ROM, meaning WE DO use the stock libraries or as you call them, "drivers". These libraries however are modified according to Samsungs android fork (aka touchwiz), and require function dependencies that CM doesn't have. The reason why we can't just " add" those functions to the CM repos is because they aren't open nor available by Samsung.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] vodka666:
Thanks for the explanation. And sorry for been rude.

Update: I just tried the slim Rom [ROM][G800F][UNOFFICIAL] Slim6 Marshmallow [MM] and I shows the exact same issues. So from what you said these HALs and module incompatibilities are very unlikely to be solved by open source Devs. This is basically the end of ASOP ROMS right? The only option is probably to strip down one of these horrible Bloated Samsung ROMs.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] CTXz:
There are a couple of ways to still fix this, but those require skills that atleast I don't have yet. Reverse engineering of proprietary libraries. This requires an full understanding of the ARM assembly langue, a proper and expensive dissasembler and time, something that I personally don't have. Patching of binaries is as hard and requires understanding of proper binary patterns.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 5c15:
Hi guys I've installed this ROM recently , everything works fine as well .. except for this little annoying problem that I'm having. It's releated with the camera or more specifically to the storage location of the camera. When I change the used storage to SD card every picture I take isn't saved , of course this everything is normal when the storage location is set to Internal storage. How can I fix this ?

No screenshots, because that's hard to do when your phone is in recovery mode... But here's a step-by-step instruction guide for those of us who don't do this process frequently. ^_^

URGENT: TWRP - current version? can not update - switch off signature verification?

Big trouble - I can not get beyond this problem - PLEASE HELP dearest android :angel::angel::angel:

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

Here some details:

I have applied ROMs (CMX and Stock) to other devices a lot of times.

But now I can not get accross the following problem when Applying CM12.1 to G800F.

This time I used Odin 3.13.1 to apply a current TWRP 3.2.3 (I remember from a whil ago - that TWRP looked different ... I probably used the touch version back then).

? Can I shut off signature verification? (the text menus of TWRP 323 are extremely brief and I see no option; I tried to find an older version / touch version with perhaps this option ... no luck!!! :( .... also used odin to apply TWRP ... I thought maybe CWM would do the trick - but here too I did not find any links so far - and a version of CWM for Odin(?) to apply it to the device).

ANY LINKS to TWRP where I have the option to switch off Signature Verification???

ANY LINKS to CWM where I have the option to switch off Signature Verification???

Any other workarrounds with links???

I do not know how to shut off the signature check and I seem to be the only still using this device ... or maybe only I am having this problem?

OK - here some of the logs of what I tried:

[selected]

Wipe data/factory reset

[then]

Wipe cache partition

[then]

Apply update from SD card

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verigyin update package...

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] donP73:
hope that

I hope Samsung will soon publish a Lollipop firmware for our beloved S5mini, so [MENTION=6225744]hennymcc[/MENTION] could extract appropriate drivers to build the beta version of this fantastic ROM!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] hennymcc:
I am also waiting for this. Especially for a release of the current kernel sources. That would definitely make it easier.

In addition I wonder why there are so few developers for the G800F. At the moment it is only me for the G800F but already three people working on the G800H. It cannot be a reason of the spreading of the device as the G800F seems to be "relatively" popular (at least in Germany).

Without the help of additional developers I will not have the time to address all of the remaining issues (e.g. the bluetooth call or camera issues).

Feel free to join - developers are always welcome (see the first post for more info) :)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] donP73:
I think it's because G800F mounts an Exynos CPU, that is less known by Developers than SnapDragon.. :sly:

First of all sorry for giving you false hope. I didn't try switching the Whatsapp camera to front cam, after i did that my Whatsapp also froze. When i tried to open the Whatsapp camera again I got a message saying: "Cannot start camera".

After a reboot i can start the Whatsapp camera again but it is still front cam so it crashes again but as long as i don't use the Whatsapp camera Whatsapp works just fine without any problems.

The normal camera works fine when switching between back and front cam.

This doesn't seem like a big deal to me because I use the normal way more than the Whatsapp camera.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] andrea.scarpelli:
Hi. There is an option to switch between 2G/3G network?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] LS97:
You can specify a preferred network type in Settings > Mobile Networks
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] n3n00:
I'll just reinstall Whatsapp and use rear cam, that's basically what I always use. It's not that important for me either, I just thought the bug is weird and causes reboots and camera errors. I wonder if that would happen on Viber, Skype etc. which I don't use.

Also, this is only Alpha and bugs are expected. Some ppl use BT headsets and have problems, some use NFC and have problems, we use Whatsapp and have problems [emoji1] ... Hopefully Samsung will release Android L in next month or so and we'll see some great things!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] donP73:
Xposed framework

Someone of you has successfully tried Xposed framework on this ROM? :confused:

I tried this method but I stopped in a bootloop :crying:
