G900F dirty flashed over previous build using the OTA updater and the custom twrp 3.1.0 and everything is fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] D'Ark:
Yes i can get in to the recovery
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] GhostKiller19:
So what do you think guys? Should I upgrade to LOS?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Blackburn119:
Wait till lineage os upgrade to the latest Android 7.1.2 because 7.1.1 is still buggy.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
If I were in your shoes, I would check the TWRP version to make sure it's upto date. I use the the modified 3.0.2 one in post#1 (it looks like there is a modified 3.1 there too now! nice!). Although you cannot check what version you have at the moment, make sure your baseband/radio is upto date. Hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Dragon0501:
I have a small problem since the builds in middle of february. The adaptive brightness causes an hard green flickering in the screen. And in this build the flash in the camera APP doesn't work. Any other the same issues in 5th april nightly? or is it just me?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Kikko2000:
The same to me. Everything is ok (G900F).
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] HulkSmashBurgers:
What bugs? Only issue I've had was the 'calls' setting on the dialer not working and crashing the app, but that is now fixed in the latest build.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BatGnat:
NFC not functioning

I am still running 22nd build (kltedv), as last two builds the NFC, is not working (aka android pay). In settings the NFC option is greyed out.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] PieHoleDepravity:
Re the flickering.. check if the issue occurs while in Recovery. If it doesn't, could be glitched software or (unlikely) a failing light sensor. If it does occur in Recovery, it may be a defective display controller, a bad connection between the motherboard and the display or the display itself is defective. Try with adaptive turned off then manually adjust, if the flicker occurs then you've eliminated the sensor. You could hard reset, see if it occurs without any apps/backups installed to eliminate software glitches.

Hope this is helpful... good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
I cannot seem to get NFC working either. In settings the NFC option slides on or off. I used a very basic NFC checker off play store and it did not recognise any tags. No errors. Using the 05-APR Nightly on klte, SM-G900F.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Blackburn119:
It's an Android ASOP bug not lineage os bug.

On latest build. Was on att everything was fine, moved to t-mobile last night now calls don't work. Data and text are fine. Anyone else experiencing on t-mobile? Any recommendations to fix? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] RemusW:
I have the same ROM version as many others and the same TWRP version too and i dirty flashed like many others but for unknown reasons my phone refuses to boot. It now won't even boot a previously working build either.

Something badly got screwed up so much so that the only fix is to try and back up data if I can and try a clean flash.

While I appreciate others posting that they had no problems with the latest build on the same hardware/software helps others to know that it does work.

It does not help those of us that were unlucky to find that it did not work for us.

I learned a lesson here in that sometimes things don't work as intended and things can and do go wrong when you least expect it.

The moral here is keep a regular backup of important data in case of things like this happening to you.

Hopefully you will never need the backups but it's better to be safe than sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] PieHoleDepravity:
Why Backup only data? Using TWRP to back up Boot, System & Data takes only a few minutes, then if flashing or whatever screws up, use TWRP restore right back to where you was.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] RemusW:
Thank you I had forgotten about that option.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
It may help to identify these problems if the model numbers and other useful info is given too. There may be a pattern.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] RemusW:
I am using a G900F with the 3.1 TWRP recovery from haggertk. I was dirty flashing from the OTA update. I was using the previous 29/03 LOS build.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Same but I used 3.0.2 Twrp from haggertk. I was OK.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mr-br:
Me too, and it all worked fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Malacant:
Has anyone found a way to get auto rotate working properly? On the spr flavor if important. It actually worked great right after the latest update but stopped working today.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] street_samurai:
I just wanted to take a moment to thank [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] for all his work for us.

I've been using CM/Lineage on my S5 for years now, I've read every post in this thread and every one in the CM 13 thread. I've flashed nearly every daily/weekly and used my phone as a daily driver the entire time.

Nearly every post similar to this has a BUT in it: "but I'm having a problem with X". While there are a couple of extremely minor issues with the ROM: its overall stability, functionality and awesomeness FAR outweighs these tiny issues. Anyone who thinks stock is better has lost their minds IMO.

Every time I check the Changelog for the newest build, I'm stunned at how much time and effort you've put in for all of us. The S5 launched in April of 2014 but I honestly can't think of a good reason to upgrade my phone because Lineage is so great. The S8 didn't even launch with Android 7.1.1! This means that one unpaid developer (and the other Lineage devs) are keeping our phone more up-to-date than Samsung's full team of paid devs on their newest flagship phone. That's insanely great IMO.

Thank you very much for all the time and effort you've put in for all of us! You rock! If you ever come to Vancouver, drop me a line and I'll buy you as many beers as you can drink!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] haggertk:
klteusc folks, consider this a notification for a soft launch of unification of your support into the main klte build.

If a couple of you don't mind, give a try dirty flashing the 5 April klte build over your klteusc. As usual backup first.

If things look good, I'll probably turn off klteusc builds after next week.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] omgbossis21:
Those w issues dirty flash using sub stratum by chance? Are the substratum commits added in this ROM for the latest support?

Anybody know what could be causing this

G900i 29/3 build
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] E_Ben:
I had bootloop when dirty flashing 20170405 LOS build with substratum legacy overlays installed. Dirty flashing without substratum -> no bootloop.

It was not possible to remove the substratum overlays, neither using the substratum app nor the recovery zip. So, I restored a Backup that I had made before installing substratum to get rid of it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
I am not a programmer but I was curious. I looked here to see the code (not even sure if this is the right code for Lineage!) and found that there is a font keyword embedded in the string. https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_LockClock/blob/cm-14.1/res/values/strings.xml

<!-- Formating strings for widget clock -->
<string name="widget_12_hours_format_h" translatable="false">h</string>
<string name="widget_12_hours_format_no_ampm_m" translatable="false">:mm</string>
<string name="widget_12_hours_format_m" translatable="false">:mm<font size="15">aa</font></string>
<string name="widget_12_hours_format_ampm" translatable="false">a</string>

So, I thought that if you switch the am/pm toggle it may work. Worth a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] thunderzzu:
I'm using substratum legacy since forever, haven't experienced a bootloop in months. I'm always dirtyflashing with the overlays installed, so i doubt it was substratums fault.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mmtrt:
Had same issue nfc button was grayed out in setting and I had to manually remove nfc app from system app folder to stop it from running all time just temp work around.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Young Gunna:
I don't know what to tell you, the updates are downloaded to the path /data/data/org.lineageos.updater/app_updates. Basically hit the install button in TRWP go up to the root directory and then go to the folder mentioned. If its not there you will have no other choice than to delete and re download unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
You can long press on the downloaded file in the updater (Settings->About phone->LineageOS Updates) and it offers to delete the file there if you haven't installed the root addonsu.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Infoport:
I don't know why I didn't see it in Recovery before, but now I found it!

My problem while system booted was that my file explorer didn't seem to go to root directory anymore (did Astro change the feature?). The solution was to install ES Root File Explorer again.

The directions to delete with a long-term in the LOS updater are also appreciated!

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] espionage724:
Can anything be done about NFC? I thought it was non-functional when I had some generic battery (it didn't have the NFC functionality), but replacing the battery today didn't change anything. I'm on kltespr
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Vini69:
Same story... except that I didn't have an updated backup!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] systemcrash:
Your battery is probably a 'fake' after-market clone. For the S5, and also the S3, their NFC antennae are built into the official batteries. I have tried a few of the clone batteries which you generally pick up for cheaper, and they lack the NFC antennae. They're also often sh!t batteries, which can damage your device.

Look closely at the battery, the text on it etc. The Chinese copies are often 'made in China' - the real Samsung ones are 'made in Korea, assembled in Vietnam'.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] TomNeverwinter:
Kltespr NFC is grayed out on stock Samsung battery 03292017. Kltespr needs some love from the developers, lots more bugs than the other carriers. (no sms on LTE, radio dropouts for days, NFC, probably more) If there is a working logcat app I'll give you one.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mario24601:
FYI in have couple OEM batteries and one says cell made in Korea assembled in China the other says made in Korea assembled in Vietnam. Both NFC work.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jiml8:
I am not a photographer or a hobbyist, so my comments should be taken in that spirit.

I use the snap camera, and find it to be more than adequate for my purposes. It seems to me to compete favorably with the stock TW camera. There are a few bugs integrating with LOS, but nothing overwhelming. The biggest problem I encounter is that sometimes it hangs when you try to open it from the lockscreen. This requires me to unlock the screen and force kill the camera, then restart it.

Other than that, it seems to work very well.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] thaidroid:
Always have a backup....it's only five minutes of your life and you are free to do whatever you want during those five minutes;);)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fuzzybabybunny:
What don't you like about Open Camera compared to Snap?

I'm actually a photographer by trade, but I haven't done much thorough testing between the two cameras yet. I've snapped photos using both of them and to the eye they seem roughly equivalent in terms of image quality, but I haven't shot the same scene side by side and then brought their photos into Lightroom to compare using the histogram and magnifier tools.

Open Camera had far more features that a photographer would actually use than Snap Camera though.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
I was having the same problem and the other posts suggested the battery. I checked with another phone I have and the battery does appear to be the reason. I took some pictures of them and I think that the NFC antenna is located in the area outlined in red. When you look at the battery which has working NFC the surface highlighted in red is noticeably depressed, which maybe important. Hope this helps.

edit: the only reason I uploaded the picture was so you could see the writing on the battery, but the resolution is poor and its hard to read!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] thaijunk:
Yep . When buying the replacement battery, some sellers will state whether there an NFC antenna or not. Usually the ones with it are a little more.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] :
I had the same problem on AICP. Try rebooting your phone and make sure you're using the latest nightly.

Blue Tooth disconnect in car. Frequently, I have tried enable everything when pairing and everything else in the options. In the attached SysLog only phone is enabled.

Hello, fellow S5 owners. I run my own build compiled from source, without any cherry picks or modifications. It is from the end of March. However, when I try to OTA update from it I get an error saying I should check my internet connection. Is this the expected behaviour and do I have to reinstall the ROM to get back to the weekly builds?

Wow, a whole new world! That last link seems to have been migrated to this one which now supports 7.1.1.

https://xdaforums.com/android/themes/fonts-flashable-zips-t3219827

Be prepared to waste an hour or two fretting about which one to settle on! They install via TWRP without problem, I found no need to wipe cache/dalvik. I settled on Helvetica Neue LT HTC/M8 Thicker CN in the end.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Vini69:
Actually I had backups, I always have backups :

- Nandroid before wiping data+system, but I couldn't restore anything afterwards. Nandroid would only recreate the directory structures in /data/data but would not copy any of the data. Trying to restore by hand (and setting permissions accordingly) would always FC the applications I needed

- Other backups were a few days old, so yes I lost data for some crucial apps... always annoying.

Also, been struggling a lot with the clean install since I use encryption and I got the password reset, which also "still" creates a bootloop! Old issue not fixed:

I may have missed it in the thread but is there a solution to the Automatic Timezone problem? I've tried clean wipes and clearing data on a few apps but nothing helped.

I have two phones (a vzw and an att) both running the 5 April release. The vzw works fine when Automatic Timezone is turned on but the att reverts back to GMT after a little while
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Saber:
Using the TWRP 3.1.0 recovery linked in the OP gave me the "." device model error when flashing the latest build for kltedv. Not too sure if this is model specific or if it also affects other models. I didn't grab any logs unfortunately as it didn't occur to my mind.

Using the older recovery also found in the OP (3.0.2), everything works fine and the update process went smoothly.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] street_samurai:
Not that I've seen. You're stuck choosing the time zone automatically.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] thaidroid:
Time zone has always worked fine for me on all builds as far as I can remember. Are you on TWRP 3.1.0 ? Not sure if that matters but it's the only thing I can think of and maybe updated gapps :confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mario24601:
I'm on 3.1.0 and auto time does not work. I'm Pacific but always reverts back automatically to something else. I have to keep it set to manual set up.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fuzzybabybunny:
I literally just got off the plane in Melbourne, flying from Osaka. The time zone change did not work. Toggling it on and off, restarting the phone, etc. And I have full data connection.

In fact, after I manually set the time zone to Melbourne, and then set it back to "automatic," it reverts to GMT, even though I'm in Melbourne.

I'm on the 20170308 nightly though with G900T kltetmo
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] bitnerd:
Latest gapps and TWRP on both phones. What device do you have? As I mentioned it works in my vzw phone but doesn't on my att with the same twrp, gapps, and lineageos versions

Across the various maintainers, we've identified that the affects nearly all Qualcomm Samsung devices. But it is carrier dependent - I can take the same SM-G900F to Germany and Korea (local SIMs in both locations) and it is fine. I land back in the US, put my Cricket SIM in it, and I reverts to GMT+0 with a couple hours. Normally after setting the timezone correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fuzzybabybunny:
Weird. Why would it do this? I find it strange that a straightforward "feature" like this would ever work differently from "look up current location of phone, then set the time zone accordingly."

Just an off the wall suggestion. I have noticed with AFWall+ sometimes there is a is a connection to qualcomm, maybe NTP, I thought it odd but never investigated. Is it possible that over-zealous port blocking may prevent the OS establishing the correct timezone?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] thaidroid:
Well how about that with data disabled both WiFi and Bluetooth behaves, no disconnects on either:confused::confused:

Maybe it's a kltekor issue only?

For those who get this problem in the future:

Before I posted this question I found this in the FAQ

Q13: HALP, I restored a TWRP backup and now cannot get my radio to work.

A13: First, don't panic. You have a full backup, it's just that something weird is happening on boot of the restore. We can get through this. Go ahead and restore that nice, clean backup again (Yes, restore it AGAIN!), but DO NOT REBOOT YET! Using the TWRP file manager, delete these two directories:

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/shared_prefs/​

Tried that but TWRP said the modem partition was in read-only. So I did not dare go any further. After countless tests and failures I just said **** it and renamed both directories and when I rebooted I saw the glorious LTE sign.
