Used s4 with s6 Rom same goes with note 3 and my brother owns a s6 edge so I couldn't have missed it [emoji12]

Only downside though is that this device doesn't seem to have fingerprint sensor. Strange thing is though that it has fingerprint service in system. Can it be like the s2 that it's disabled? I remember i9100p had nfc but wasn't enabled. I think. Might have been note 2 variant. Still
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Neoony:
from what I know, fingerprint scanner was not included in S5 Neo

Im kinda glad cause I consider it a useless thing for me xD

probably raises the price too

Hey folks, I need some information about the official twrp recovery and flashing it. Gave the unofficial version a try yesterday and stuck in a bootloop.

Don't want this to happen again (something like an error with selinux mode of recovery)

I'd appreciate any shared experience. What kernel, how did you flash it (app or odin) and so on.

Got no computer at hand and want to flash it safely with an app.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] davbra98:
For me it worked fine no problems

I'll tell you how I did it:

1. I downloaded the .img file

2. I moved it to /data

3. I opened Terminal emulator and installed it (Sorry don't know the command anymore something beginning with dd)

4. I rebooted (no changes).

5. I booted into recovery with rebooter app (got the message, that recovery is not SELinux Enforcing)

6. Finished

I think it was all ok but:

I've rooted the phone, installed busybox, then flashed recovery, flashed xposed (after installing app first), ExtSDcard with r/w permission (with App2SD), all running ok, but SE Linux still Enforcing...

Same problem here :(

I've just received my new S5 Neo, I took off the lens protection but still, can't take a decent picture :(

There's like a small blur effect :/

Does anybody have a solution? :)

Thanks in advance :)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
Get a new phone? It's a mid range phone with 13mp camera depending on where the photo is taken etc in North Korea you will always have blur.

Seriously. It isn't bad pictures at all. It matches the s4 (I believe) in quality I really can't compare since I must get glasses [emoji14] but pictures isn't bad. Change the picture quality

I could replace it within root browser [emoji14]
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Drakax:
The camera is 16mp ;)

I checked all the settings, everything is in "high quality"/"max resolution".

I could expect some noise in low light condition, but it happens even outside during a sunny day :/

Next step deodex. Did your deodex work after you wipe data? I am rather unsure if my deodex is working as intended. Because any way I try to flash it renders in a bootloop.

run_program("/sbin/reboot")

??? Thanks.

Edit : format system is ok but not the extract package. Using file manager in twrp it seems that nothing is copied in system. Dunno why. I used to make my custom rom like this and never happened. Maybe it does not recognise /system and need to use dev/block. Or it is about the mount command.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
Bad flash or system not mounted correctly. I never use the if else option.

Also after flash. Did you select mount system?

Scripts disable it you know. So if you go to file manager and try browsing system folder it will only show bin folder lol.

From my side

Either I get stating apps and get stuck at bootloop. If I get on starting apps, the scripts "fails" on permission

Or I get stuck on Samsung boot animation. But installation script is being installed automatically :s

Hey guys Im flashed cf autoroot flashed twrp and installed busybox why I get a message from SU that I'm upgraded my phone to 5.0 and have to reroot but I've rebooted yesterday and I hab my root back but now again I've the same message in lucky patcher it says my root is unstable ? I've a permissive Kernel too so and I'm ever get this security message how can I hide them
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
Because one.

Lucky patcher isn't allowed here.

Two update both apps to latest version and have fun. I only use lucky patcher to backup my apps to internal storage to prevent it being zipped and to get titanium backup pro since I've locked out my account which owns the pro key. It uses a two step verification and I forgot about it before I changed the number ? this happened a while ago. And google won't allow me to restore it due to insufficient information. Well duh how should I remember when it was created. It was like more than 5 years ago. And no I can't get verification code since it goes to a old number. I know what number it is but Google support won't help me Derp only way I can access it is trough my account backup. Though it isn't restoring it successfully on this phone ? I would pay for the key again. But yet I can't since I'm pretty broke and have no income (yet) when I had money I had sometime poweramp keys giveaway but neither can't do it now ? I could reset my old ms account it only had one simple question and it was reset lol. Though only helped me restore apple accounts [emoji14] so yeah even if you use lucky patcher in the good way it isn't allowed here. I really must bash google so I can regain control over my 3 lost accounts. I've got some important info about purchase details I don't want to loose. But yeah restoring it is a no go
