This build works well on kltechnduo. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
And it also works on my G900F using TD-SCDMA. I didn't notice any differences to the last build concerning reliability so far. In the meantime, I think that this OS has reached a very useful state. I am grateful to the devs for that! The only thing I'm still unhappy about is sdcardfs. I still use FUSE because a reliable bind and unbind of folders with Apps2SD between internal and external SD does not work. With FUSE, however, there are no problems...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] javelinanddart:
Thanks for verifying :)

https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/194941/ <- patch that fixed it, if you're curious.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] revjamescarver:
Just those three lines

Damn, that's a strange one, just those three lines, they going to change that in the official? Amazing what a change in a make file can do.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] javelinanddart:
Apps2SD? https://imgur.com/r/preggit/4a30rIb

Seriously, this is ancient stuff. I tried playing around with it in the GB (CM7) days, and it sucked then too.

I'm not going to put any sort of care towards apps2sd, sorry.

Yeah, just those 3 lines. They affect the entire telephony stack, because they change how the RIL (radio interface layer) service works. And yes, that will be in offical, see the comment: "Change has been successfully merged by Paul Keith". That means it made it into the github repository. https://review.lineageos.org/ is our official code review site, which is how we control what goes into the official repositories

For my Sprint peeps

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
It maybe ancient but on Lineage 14.1 it is the only easy way to mirror a folder from the external card to the internal one! It would be nice if Android could do this on its own, but unfortunately that is not the case. Of course, the apps themselves should be able to let the user choose the location. But what should you do if, for example, WhatsApp strictly refuses to implement this option? Deleting the media permanently can't be the solution if you have 64 GB free on the external SD!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Maybe related to this?

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] eurohunter:
That commit was included in 10/25, and if I remember, I was able to connect to wifi when I flashed crdroid, which is based on 10/25. Will wipe again tomorrow to make sure, lol.

Is anybody else not seeing the option to connect to wifi before restoring apps from google cloud?

Guys what's the kernal which gives the best battery life ??
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] noahwise:
I'd absolutely love to test this out. Been running CM while waiting for this to get fixed. But I'm very inexperienced at providing useful feedback.

Can you give me some instructions on what you need done and I'll do my best?

I'm using klteduos
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Immortal0907:
hmm, idk what you expect, stock lineageos kernel is not draining battery or something... tho I cant tell which one is the best but boeffla kernel is the most popular here for sure so maybe try that one. But careful, if you have any weird issues, you cant ask for help on this thread since this is only for stock lineageos. If something goes wrong just ask for help on boeffla kernel thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] liquidraver:
Use the built-in lineageos kernel. The last 5-6 build gives awesome battery life(for me), even with opengapps (pico) installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
NOV01 installs fine and asks for Wi-Fi etc. I have a sim installed in my test device. The set-up path is different if no sim installed/detected. Maybe there is an issue with your device detecting the sim? I have lost track of how has what at the moment? :confused: I tested on the G900F.

edit: just thought, I tested without gapps. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] silva_dump:
Thanks for your responses guys :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Amirk365:
Hey guys, quick question. Does the version of the Gapps affect battery life? I used a Gapps from since 2016 and all builds I use drains the battery. If I update it, could my battery life improve?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Yes but it updates itself. Nothing you can do to improve it, if you need it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Amirk365:
Crap, oh well, looks like it's time for a new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Before you do that ensure your firmware is upto date and do a clean install. If it's as bad as you imply there is clearly something wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] javelinanddart:
If you have anything important on your phone, back it up in TWRP onto an external sdcard, then use TWRP's format data function to wipe your data.

Then, download that build, download gapps (if you want them), and then flash both, and reboot.

Set up your phone, and test everything you can think of related to network. Calls, SMS, MMS, Data, etc. Test everything on both sims.

If something's broken, and you think it shouldn't be, let me know, and I'll see if that is actually a bug, or the intended behavior.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Amirk365:
Yea it is and what's worse is that the newer the firmware, the worse the wear. Clearly something is wrong since I got a new battery and no different, though strangely I'm getting good battery life on CM13
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] noahwise:
Will do. It may be a week before I can proceed. I'll need to do it at a time when I don't have urgent work stuff happening right after.

THANK YOU for doing this!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] phalkon30:
Most of us don't have any issues, has to be something with the apps you're installing or the settings you use. My S5 can idle for 10 days on wifi with gapps installed. That's on an over 3 year old battery...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Amirk365:
I mostly use Lite apps such as Facebook, Messenger, and Twitter. Mostly due to less data consumption rather than battery. Gapps is usually the mini. I use Wifi during the day and HSPA+ at nights (I use work wifi lol). At best on this ROM I get 2 hours of screen on time. Now with the same usage on the BS Free Rom (TW based) I get around 5 hours screen on time and slightly more with CM13. I'm using an SM-G900V by the way.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] javelinanddart:
If it's after next Wednesday, you'll be better off flashing the weekly instead, that one will have the fix that fixed kltechnduo in it
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
There is a discussion on Reddit about backups. Online Nandroid Backup is mentioned which requires Busybox. I know there has been some activity on Gerrit re Toybox recently. I have a feeling that it's been included to supersede Busybox and maybe TWRP related. I am not even clear if Busybox is included as standard on LOS anyway. How does this fit in against the clear and understandable position on Xposed, Magisk etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] javelinanddart:
It's not included by default in Lineage, so we won't support bugs with busybox, but as far as causing other issues in the system goes, it should be fairly harmless.

tl;dr: You can report bugs with busybox installed, just not bugs that are about busybox
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
As far as Boeffla is concerned, you don't have to worry much. I've been using this kernel (or the [MENTION=516058]fbs[/MENTION] mod) for more than 3 years now since CyanogenMod 11, and there hasn't been a single problem since then which would have been caused by the Boeffla Kernel. The developer works very carefully and conscientiously. Nevertheless, installation is of course at your own risk. I only use the kernel because I am able to adjust the level of charging current depending on the charging source. If you don't have such special requirements, you should stick to the LOS kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Files App

Need advice. The free space issue in Files app really bugs me! Jira Bugbash [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] has had a look and has confirmed that it is DocumentUI doing this and it should be reported to Google. I have done that but they want a bugreport from a Nexus/Pixel device to take it further. Sigh :(

I now have a genuine Nexus running 7.1.1 :) On AOSP there is just the Download app which does not display the free space on the filesystem. I am guessing that one of the LOS devs tweaked this app to make the LOS Files app. As the AOSP app does not display free space, how best to demonstrate to the Google guys that the DocumentUI problem exists? I have thought of somehow installing the LOS Files app on the Nexus but I doubt that the Google incarnation of PsychoI3oy would be happy about that.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
Interesting questions! First: busybox is not included in standard LOS because it has been replaced there by toybox.

I got the "Online Nandroid" script to run only with busybox 1.20.2. I think I remember this was related to wrong free space or file sizes reported by other busybox versions (you remember this issue that's been fixed in the meantime?). For this purpose I copied the script together with the busybox binary to /data/local/nandroid and start it automatically with SManager. However, the onandroid script as well als the Android linker binary in /system/bin have to be modified to use the different busybox and because the linker prevents the launch of binaries that fail the PIE check.

However, this breaks the PIE (position independent executable security check) and will undermine some of the system's security mechanisms, which is why I am sure it will not be appreciated here in this thread. But it allows you on the other hand to have a complete onandroid backup and creates additional security for those who know what they are doing. I had already written something about it here and also posted my modified linker binary before I knew this was going to be seen here in disgust. Sorry for that!

Are they really that ignorant and unable to reproduce this absoluelty simple issue on their phones themselves?!?!?

Meanwhile, Google is much worse than Apple and Microsoft put together. :p
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] phalkon30:
I have never gotten more than 3 hours SOT with my S5 G900R4 on any rom (stock or otherwise). I can say that it's much easier to hit on LOS 14 than it was on cm or stock for me. We're obviously doing something different, but this is the best battery life I've had on this device in the 3 years I've owned it
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] revjamescarver:
Bugs me as well

Kinda bugs me as well, d**n built-in app doesn't work and every other file manager works just like it is supposed to. Don't know what to do about it at this point, I've just quit using the built-in app for the most part. What I can't figure out is don't these other apps use documentui?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] FlexiPack:

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Some say it works but known to cause problems. But it's against the LOS rules to discuss here.

Thanks, when i dont use it haha
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] paulcarroty:
The update from 10.05 on GP can be grabber via Yalp Store.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
It turns out it was me that couldn't figure out where to go on AOSP to get something similar to 'Files' . I was using 'Download' as it seemed to be the the only app on the menu with similar functionality. However, if you look in Settings->Storage->Explore then you get something a bit more comparable. Then after copying a few files around the space issue surfaced. So I have been able to get a simple way for them to reproduce the problem. It has now been logged, at least. Fingers crossed that it gets taken up.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
There is nothing comparable in LOS, isn't it?

On the other hand, we don't really care if the bug still appears in AOSP, do we? Because it doesn't appear in LOS anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Cyanogenmod used to have a File Manager (CMFM) that had lots of features but it fell behind and needed lots of work to bring it upto current standards. So, when LineageOS forked last year a decision was made (correctly IMHO) that it should be abandoned and replaced with Android's built-in storage management.

It looks like the LOS Devs just turned Settings->Storage->Explore into a standalone app called 'Files' and placed it on the Apps menu. I have only ever accessed the 'Files' app in this way.

It seems that AOSP just presented 'Download' in the App Menu whilst still being able to access more volumes via the Settings->Storage->Explore option. I overlooked this because it was not normally where I would look. I am thinking that unless it gets fixed we will have the same problems in 15.0.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] revjamescarver:
Glad to see that

Glad to see that you could replicate the problem, were you able to find the same error on your nexus? With asop all working on Oreo these days (or so it seems) I wouldn't be holding my breath waiting on a fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] de-coder:
"X" at mobile network

My phone: S5 klte with lineage-14.1-20171101-nightly-klte and gapps 7.1 mini and root su 2.82

Sometimes, i have a "x" in edge symbol but best mobile network. When i reset to standard APN, all is well.

This happens several times a day and you do not notice it.

Whar can i do? Is there a fix/mod?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Do you have a firewall installed? The kernel itself checks data connectivity to a Google URL, if it can't connect it puts an 'x' there.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
The problem is that apparently only a few app developers still feel like adapting their apps every year to completely new storage concepts that Google has come up with, just to bury them frequently at the next Android version. Often driven by commercial interests, such as trying to take support from external SD cards and USB storage devices to push overpriced devices with large internal memory, as Apple does. In this way, the whole concept is not sustainable.

Which was a very good idea as a file manager has nothing to do with the system settings!

But as I have understood, we now know where the problem lies and should be able to fix it easily in version 15. It had something to do with the fact that certain values were not passed between two different layers, if I remember correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] de-coder:
No firewall ... can i change the kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
If you want to. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
But is there a kernel that does the connection test in another way? I don't think so.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Actually, now its been mentioned, I haven't seen LTE without the little cross. AF-Wall allows kernel traffic btw.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
Since I've never used LTE before, I hadn't noticed that either. However, it is not a very smart way to determine connectivity. It would be much better to determine the presence of a DNS server, e.g. by means of a name resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ibuprophen:
I had done a search a while ago regarding the differences between 4G, 4G LTE and 4G LTE-A and had located the following information.

G = The term that means "Generation". 3G means 3rd Generation Speeds, 4G means 4th Generation Speeds and so on...

4G = The ITU-R set standards for speeds "up to" 4G connectivity.

LTE = Long Term Evolution that's more of a technology term for the path that's followed to achieve 4G speeds.

LTE-A = Long Term Evolution Advanced that just means a step closer to the path that's followed to achieve 4G speeds.

Simply stated, companies that advertise their connections like "4G LTE" is really only a marketing technique that allowed them to claim next-gen connectivity without having to reach the actual required number first and advertising 4G LTE-A only means that the technology used just takes the connectivity just a step closer to a proper 4G.

I hope that I had explained it okay via text... :)

Thanks developer for this great Rom every update the battery life is improving and thinking it will be better.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] ShahabJafri:
So I was fed up with the annoying beeps sound after the call is finished (basic LiOS, default kernel, OpenGapps, Magisk) and researched to find so many people reporting it. I tried [MENTION=1462294]vd69[/MENTION] 's method to replace the Teleservice.apk and set the correct permissions but I get "No SIM" when I reboot. Had to revert to the original file.

I've tested replacing Google Phone app as the default phone app and the result is the same. So how to go about now?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] javelinanddart:
Flash a newer build, it's been fixed. Don't come crying about bugs without checking whether or not we actually fixed them.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] ShahabJafri:
Did it get fixed in 1st Nov build? Cauz I'm running 25 Oct one. Was the "bug" suddenly fixed in the newest build after people complaining since April March and was documented to be fixed? Anyway I'll download the current one but your tone could definitely improve. There are never any changelogs posted apart from the details that you prefer to share in this thread. And a lot of time download from the OTA results in "The download failed. Please check your internet connection blah blah" when there's nothing wrong with the internet connection. So instead of that condescending tone you could've just told hey man we fixed this in so and so build why are you still getting it.

Edit: Downloaded on the pc and flashed it and Yay! it does seem to be fixed! Thanks a lot man.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] revjamescarver:
Ring of Death

That must have been the ring of death bug mentioned in the changelog on the lineage DL site right? That was a little annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] haggertk:
No, it was not ring of death. That is cdma specific where your phone would literally never stop ringing after receiving a call. It was worked around in the old Java RIL subclass. The new patch was the same workaround ported to libril.

The cause was a conflict between our old L-based blobbed RIL stack and some CAF changes that adds additional hangup tones. The new source based RIL is (obviously) made to work with N.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] haggertk:
The fix wasn't explicit, but a side-effect of moving to source RIL.

The words may have come across as abrasive, but in general, bug reports here and on jira will be ignored if not based on a current build.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] revjamescarver:
Got it

Glad to see it was fixed, while it didn't take away from the functionality of the ROM it was a little annoying, since I generally hate wasting time talking on the phone I hadn't noticed it. Good work.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fbs:
sometimes when taking pictures the phone will simply shutdown. just a black screen with no warning.

it's not a reboot. it shuts down like the battery was suddenly removed.

is it just me ? could it be the battery or mobo failing?

I think if it was a system bug, it would soft reboot.. and if it was a kernel bug, it would hard reboot... but it's not rebooting.. it just shuts down.

if I hold the power button it will simply turn on again like nothing has happened...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
I would recommend using the Lineage Downloader App. I've been using it for a few months now and the download works fast and reliable. It also displays the changes in the current and next build.

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

OOOPS! I never had that before. Maybe it's in some way related to the camera app? Do you experience the issue with any camera app or only with a particular one?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fbs:
I use the default LOS one.. I have never seen anything special on other cam apps.. but I doubt a simple non-root app would cause an instant-shutdown like that. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Nico1544:
i use google camera and havent a issue like that
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] javelinanddart:
Could be that your battery is degrading. Camera typically requires more voltage than a lot of other tasks on your phone. If the battery is degrading, it has enough voltage to power most of the phone usage, but not for camera, so it can't power the phone if you attempt to use camera
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Immortal0907:
Well I never experienced that... Last week I visited my girlfriend and we took like over 100 photos in 5 days -.- soo if that problem was on LOS side I would trigger it for sure...

Perhaps you may try to reproduce it with the Open Camera App. If this also fails you'd surely know that it has nothing to do with the app.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] foxrft:
Just one question, why those AOSP based ROMs always have worse battery life than the stock ROM. I flash this everytime but I experience poor battery life and then I have to go back to stock ROM..
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Diabblo:
I have the same problem. But only with camera + flash.

TouchWiz or Lineage .

Probably the battery yes
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Amirk365:
My theory is the hardware. Phones tend have more RAM and Battery nowadays so maybe it's that. Just a theory.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fbs:
That's what I thought. Maybe the flash takes too much power?

When my screen brightness is too low, the screen flickers. Sounds like power problem too.. :(

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

if he notices less battery life right after changing a rom, the hardware is out of question.. lol
