I went back to stock, and then found after a bit (and reading older posts) that the newest SuperSU and LOS 14.1 are not playing well together.

Using SuperSU makes WiFi go away, and the MAC address turn to 02:00:00:00:00:00

I don't know why. However, trying to use the addonsu utility doesn't cause the problem; it also doesn't work with Titanium backup

Hey guys I recently got S5 g900f... im not new to Android but I still have some questions with terms youre using here...

What kind of basebands are you flashing and why? Im on latest nightly here and all I did was flash twrp with odin and after that flash rom gapps and root addon... And also is anyone having problem with fingerprint unlock while screen is off? For me it works only when I lock screen and try to unlock it a few seconds after.. but when its longer time it simply doesnt work so I have to push the home button and then skroll my finger.. But I noticed that when screen is off and I try to unlock it with my finger (i also try many directions) and it doesnt work so I turn the screen on and it says 'Couldnt proccess fingerprint' but then while screen is on I swipe my finger the exact same way as while it was off and it works... I hope you know what im talking about :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Can I just say that for some reason (maybe installing the latest nightly) that the Animations duration and scale have reverted to default. If you want to turbo charge your phone:-

Settings>Developer Options>Window animation scale>Animation Off

Settings>Developer Options>Transition animation scale>Animation Off

Settings>Developer Options>Animator duration scale>Animation Off

Zippy! :)

Fingerprint sensor is probably old firmware. Flash this in Odin:-

after a boot without root, and then addonsu, and then another boot or two, Privacy Guard asked for permissions for Titanium Backup, and now it sees it too.

:confused:

I didn't know there was this possibility to unlock without waking up the phone.

I have installed the latest version of samsung stock firmware some days ago and then installed LineageOS, but fingerprint unlock only works after turning the screen on. Its a G-900MD.

Edit: I noticed that when the phone is charging, I can unlock it without waking up the screen.

I run Nova Launcher, so I don't know if Pixel Launcher works, but search the thread for it as I'm sure it's mentioned.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
In you OP you said: "Hey guys I recently got S5 g900f..." now you are saying is a G-900MD. Please ignore my previous reply because it links to SM-G900F firmware.

Why not post up the version number of the Baseband and Bootloader that you are currently using and check the Model number via Odin mode at powerup.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] tdallagnol:
I'm sorry. I just read what you guys are talking about and put myself into the middle.

Who said that was Immortal0907 user, not me.

Obviously it is not the same device, maybe there's this difference.

Sigh. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Immortal0907:
Do I need to format anything after flashing it?

btw here is my baseband version

And also is there a chance that flashing that newer baseband somehow affects my mobile network signal? Cause its always full and rock solid :) i dont want to screw things up
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
You should be fine with the 900F. But it is always wise to take a backup. In TWRP you can choose to just backup Modem and Boot. Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Immortal0907:
wait a minute I just looked it up and if im not wrong my baseband version is the latest version for s5? Im coming from stock 6.0.1 installed with smart switch which should install latest baseband? So if its true that means that I have the right baseband?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
It's not true though. G900FXXS1CQAV is from the Samsung January update, from memory, I think you need something later than February, so it's best to put the latest on there.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Immortal0907:
well i flashed the one you provided but nothing changed... if anything now my fingerprint scanner is not working at all when screen is off... but all in all nothing changed

Its working like 3 seconds after I lock my phone...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Mine doesn't work when the screen is off, I didn't think it was meant to. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Immortal0907:
ahahahah dude that is my problem thats what I wrote in my first post... I think it should work when screen is off, I know that on stock is not working whem screen is off but I read somewhere that here its working... And it is semi working XD If you dont believe me I can record it !
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
OK if you think its a bug then wait for the weekend and file a BUGBASH. I guess the JIRA Police will look at it and figure out if it's 'by design' or a bug. Describe it clearly though or they may misunderstand like I did, Sorry.

I've got the T-Mobile G900T with LineageOS and I'm having reception issues.

On T-Mobile, in my house, my:

AT&T Microsoft Surface 3 LTE gets full reception with a T-Mobile SIM.

S900T with LineageOS gets zero reception.

Uhhh... what should I be upgrading or uninstalling to try and fix this issue? The S900T *does* get reception in other locations, but it's extremely odd to me that in the same location, a T-Mobile version of the S5 *wouldn't* get reception on T-Mobile while an AT&T Microsoft Surface *would*.

I've already tried taking out the SIM card and blowing on it as well as booting into safe mode. Nothing works.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
That isn't an officially supported model. Latest possible baseband would be worth a shot, I would have thought.

Edit: My bad, I was thinking G900T3 for some reason! G900T is OK, but check same.

Battery, batteries, replacement, spares, NFC

For anyone in Europe looking for replacement batteries for their S5 (international G900F at least) - I bought

https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00L2G8JJU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Before ordering, most reviews for the product are positive (the negative reviews claiming fakes are the ****-tards who don't understand their dogs are not supposed to chew on them or that their phone is simply ****ed anyway).

Batteries arrived. Each has its authentic packaging, the battery is in its own plastic case, and have a 2017 manufacturing date, and the product code matches the original EB-BG900BBEGWW, and has working NFC. It's an original Samsung battery (and not one of those fake ****ty Chinese ones that dies after a week). I tested read/write for MiFareClassic via NFC and other stuff, all works.

I learned the hard way with my S3 - the older it got, the harder it became to find spares, and those batteries that I ordered late in the life of my old S3 were all fake, and had no NFC. So before the S5 gets too old and retailers no longer think it is a modern or useful phone and cease to sell spares, order a few batteries for the times when you want to sell your S5 on, or your current battery dies (through too much love, of course).
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] aniksha:
Please update after a month

The truth does NOT come out of the package, but some weeks later.

So please share your experience later on again.

Is anyone else seeing problems with Sensors? I use this app to test, which has always been reliable in the past.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=asd.vector.sensor

My compass stopped working at some point, not sure when. The Sensor app reports no data from the Accelerometer, Orientation, Gyroscope, Gravity and others. This is with the 20SEP nightly.

Surprisingly similar to the old, but still open Bugbash
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jeremywh7:
I have Pixel Launcher ODR-4023749 from apkmirror on my wife's G900T (I think; will verify when I update it tomorrow). I copied it from /data/app to /system/priv-app, since its doesn't survive the update I keep a backup of it. Every time I update, I manually install the update from TWRP then use the file manager to copy the Pixel Launcher folder into /system/priv-app. It works great, though I changed my other devices (and mom's S4 Verizon) to use Lawn Chair launcher, which is easier and doesn't require root for the time/weather function (plus it has a dark theme). I also tried Rootless Pixel Launcher 2 (by amirzaidi) on my 5X, but had way more features than I needed, and no dark theme.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Bleiz:
Flashed latest rom and gapps, setup wizard stops after the settings of backup data to google, etc. What could be wrong ? It just gets me back to start of the setup.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Did you skip Wi-Fi setup?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Bleiz:
No I did not. Anyway, I wiped everything again then flashed ROM and booted it, then returned to flash gapps, and seems like it worked that way. :) By the way, since you are active on this thread as I saw, I have a question for you. Do you have any advice for performance/optimization this ROM for a better experience (e.g like settings in Kernel Adiutor. ) Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] airman1951:
I confirm sensors stopped to work with the la test build. klte.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jdrch:
Working just fine here for me when tested in GPS Status. The sensor readings look reasonable too. Is your phone firmware (read: partitions OTHER THAN recovery, bootloader, and system) on the latest version?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] airman1951:
Yes. Bootloader only is an old version (CPLV), but isn't relevant I think.

Actually it seems an intermittent issue. Compass finds the location and looses it after few minutes. Let me test deeper.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jdrch:
I wonder if this the return of/similar to the intermittent GPS coverage loss bug from around the start of the month?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Yes it is intermittent. Works fine on my device now!

I'll have a rummage too.

edit: Odd my main phone looses that sensors after entering sleep mode for approx 5 mins. Yet, my test phone with just LineageOS on it, and little else, does not fail in the same way. :( sigh.

edit2: I cannot reproduce the sensor problem on a clean install with latest firmware etc! You all know what that means?

---------- Post added at 08:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 AM ----------

I like Kernel Adiutor, it's UI is polished I think I run the Donate version, if there is any difference. I don't fiddle with many of the features but I find it handy to troubleshoot and edit bootprop quickly etc. Mind you, I think it was introducing some odd logcat messages re multi-core when I was testing things the other day. Great app but don't fiddle! I have 3C Toolbox Pro installed too for the same reasons. Less polished but lots more things to fiddle with and investigate what goes on under the hood. I don't claim to understand any of it! My best tip, if you want to speed up your device, is to switch off animations in Developer Options, it makes an S5 fly! :cool:

Im on latest build and I download Cpu Stats to check this... As you can see all cores are being used here g900f
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Actually that is a better app than Kernel Adiutor for checking CPU cores because it just sits there in the notification bar. Things are looking better with the latest nightly. All my sensors are working reliably now too, clean installs are a real pain though. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DragonQ:
I was getting terrible lag and poor battery life with either 06/09 or 13/09 nightly (can't remember which) but yes, 20/09 seems to have fixed it. :D

On a side note, whenever my phone is getting laggy it's always because of disk access rather than CPU or RAM usage. I can't find a single app that will let me see which actual process/app is causing heavy disk I/O though. Any ideas?

I am not sure, so this is only a guess. In my institute I also use an eduroam wifi access with a certificate. I use a pattern for secure screen unlock and sometimes even after a dirty flash I must reimport the certificate. When doing so, I received a rather cryptic/ insufficiently precise error message which first made me think I would have provided the wrong password of the certificate. Instead, the solution in my case ist to remove the secure screen unlock, reimport the wlan certificate and then set secure screen unlock again. Hope this helps

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jiml8:
When I moved to the 20/9/2017 version, I discovered that one of my cores had been set to performance mode (rather than the default, and preferred, interactive mode). This caused it to stay at full 2.4 GHz regardless of load. I changed it to interactive.

Normal behavior of the G900 with all cores set to interactive mode is to use only the number of cores necessary at the speed necessary to be responsive under the current load conditions. The minimum is two cores running at 300 MHz, and if your device is idling this is what you will see much of the time. Normally, core 0 and core 3 are the ones that remain active. You will see the other cores come online only when the load requires it.

I did a dirty upgrade on my G900AZ and did not even delete dalvik. I was moving from a mid-July build.

No issues. Sensors seem to work fine. I have not decided yet whether GPS is intermittent or not; I just checked it and had to turn it on, then off again, then on again, before Waze would get a GPS fix. Prior to cycling it off/on, Waze told me that there was no GPS reception, but possibly I did not wait long enough.
