Hey I wanna ask dearly quickly is there a way for lineageos to patch the threat of someone bypassing the lockscreen by deleting those files with custom recovery?

[youtube]8slXZT9-V1o[/youtube] a link of what I'm talking about
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Hawaiihemd:
1) That's not a threat ;) You losing your phone IS!

2) Recovery is totally independent from the rom so there is nothing that can be done rom-side. But...

3) You could encrypt your data, so without the password nothing goes
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Joselof96:
Aight thanks, the only downside with cm14.1 is the lack of support with xposeed and now that has long since we heard from rovo89 I genuinely believe that we are waiting in vain :/
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DickyG:
That's probably not the problem. When I switched back to CM13 and connected the phone to the computer, it was recognized at once...but thanks.

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------

Good point. Phone is 900T (T-Mobile...klte) and baseband is FOG6 (same baseband that came with the phone... outdated but has served well in other ROM's).

I switched back to CM13 before I remember to provide a logcat.

Sorry for going off topic but is your avatar an coincidence or is the legend true that you are welsh?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
I would hazard a guess right there. Have a look here for newer:-

haggertk put some up here, I guess he has used them.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=59640

Double check! Make sure you have backups as earlier roms may not work with later baseband.

Flashed the newest bootloader and modem from here and installed the latest 17.5 nightly with su addon and opengapps mini. Haven't had yet the time to test everything like bluetooth and battery life, but so far it just feels AMAZING and CLEAN. Thanks a lot for the dev! Bringing new life to this phone. :)

There was a problem with fingerprint scanner. When I was registering second fingerprint for my thumb, I accidentally hit the physical back button and after that the scanner wouldn't register fingerprints anymore and booted eventually the whole phone. I tried registering again and it just kept crashing the phone. I wiped everything and flashed again, this time registered fingers carefully and everything has been working well since. Would have been clever to take some logs from the fingerprint bug and report though... Captain hindsight away! Btw, really nice to just swipe the scanner to open the phone without pressing any buttons. Again thanks a lot to haggertk and LineageOS dev team!

Also installed haggertk's built of TWRP 3.1.0. Gonna try tomorrow if the OTA updates are working.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] MS420:
Is it smoother with new bootloader and modem?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Bhetali:
I had some problems with GPS while navigating with Google Maps. GPS would lock eventually, but it would unlock in few seconds which appears as slow, stuttering and inaccurate navigation advice. I found out that others in this thread were having the same issue with GPS lock, but I couldn't found any bug report regarding the issue from JIRA. GLONASS and BEIDOU satellites are disabled on klte "due to the high volume of GPS changes in Android N", but that shouldn't affect the ability to lock to GPS satellites.

Some said that updating to newer bootloader and modem fixed the issue, but I already have the newest bootloader (BL_G900FXXS1CQD8) & modem (CP_G900FXXU1CQB1) and it seems to be odd that those have anything to do with GPS. I could try the SM-G900F_CQBW.firmware.tar.md5 Mar 12, 2017 that haggertk has in filehost. Is it safe/stupid to downgrade bootloader/modem to earlier version?

Before that I'll just try what someone suggested as working temporary fix: opening GPS Status & Toolbox app and waiting it to lock to GPS before using Google Maps.

No, I don't think bootloader or modem has anything to do with the smoothness of the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] cal002:
1. The phone has two signal processors, one running "modem" firmware and one for

audio and other media processing. But the "modem" DSP can also do other stuff,

you can confirm it deals with GPS easily:

strings /firmware-modem/image/modem.* | grep -i gps

(copious output)

2. I've read many reports here that people flash back and forth between modem and BL versions

without problems, but the modem has its own binary data partitions in flash

(modemst1 and modemst2) and we can't know if a modem upgrade makes

changes which are not compatible to old versions

I think EFS backup in TWRP saves those partitions.

I don't know anything about the klte bootloader, but in general BLs often do

low level initialization that kernel drivers depend on. Since klte uses the

Android M kernel sources published by Samsung, it is probably a good

idea to use an M bootloader. But OTOH I'm not aware of any report here

that upgrading the bootloader alone did fix any issue...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] darzur:
Hi,

Just installed LOS 14.1 Official on SGS5 and it's awesome so far. Have one issue with it however, but it might by due to lack of my knowledge. With S-View Cover closed I can see incoming call, but can't answer it. It looks like touch isn't working through cover window and this was working perfectly in TouchWiz. Is it possible to solve it somehow?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
So, I'm not sure if this helps any, but it was interesting research so I typed it up anyway:-

A GPS device derives an accurate position by interrogating two distinct sets of data: GPS signals and almanac data. The time it takes the GPS to do this is called the "Time to First Fix" (TTFF).

The almanac data contains information on the orbits and status of the entire GPS constellation so that each satellites location can be approximated. This data is captured from within the GPS signals but can take up to 12 minutes to download. More often, it is captured via Wi-Fi or mobile data which is much quicker. This data is fairly static and may remain usable for many weeks.

So there are two scenarios when a GPS device is activated.

1) A 'cold start' where the device has to capture all the data and if no mobile data or wi-fi is available will take upto 12 minutes.

2) A 'warm start' where cached copies of the almanac data exist and it merely has to lock onto three or more GPS signals, which will take less than a minute.

All of this functionality is accessed from Settings-> Location Mode-> Device only. So TTFF will be comparatively slow.

However, Android has some tricks up it's sleeves. Which can speed this process up. Remember the trouble the Google got into with Streetview photography, when it was also sucking up Wi-Fi SSID data etc. without permission? Well, what with that and covertly capturing SSID data in other ways Google have a very tidy database of Wi-Fi networks mapped to approximate longitude and latitude co-ordinates.

They have also managed to do the same with mobile data networks. Have a look at this sort of thing. http://android-coding.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/convert-celllocation-to-real-location.html

Now, if you wrap this into a Google Play/Mobile Services API and cajole the end user to tick Settings-> Location Mode-> High Accuracy then Android can, fairly instantly place you on a map, anywhere in the world, instantly. GPS will still chunner away in the background on the phone until it is fully ready to give accurate location. But the perception is that the process is instantaneous.

The payback for Google is immense if you use high accuracy, because they know exactly where you are (to within a few meters) 24/7 and they can bombard with adverts accordingly. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Dirty Flasher:
Interesting info and nice write up. Thanks. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Bhetali:
I did OTA update from 17.5 nightly -> 24.5 nightly. Everything seemed to go OK, except one app shortcut disappeared from the home screen (???) and Settings->About phone->LineageOS-updates-> still lets me install the same nightly as installed already, but this seems to be open issue already.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] square_eyes:
I looked at the macloader messages and am a bit confused. How do I check this (1)? I have enabled the logging... where is the log stored?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] chainzy:
Anyone else still have their mms images come through as being rotated landscape? Updated to the newest nightly kltedv and got that problem still.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Paul_Lunardi:
Hi all I've updated my twrp to version 3.1.0-1 and I've used the ota update for the first time successfully. I've read that it's advised to back up, install the rom them delete dalvik cache partition.

Ota doesn't back up but does it delete cache partition as part of the process? Also where are the weekly updates stored? Are they deleted automatically or is this something that I need to remember to do manually?

I loved the ota update. Just happened so quickly.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
It doesn't wipe dalvik/cache

Weekly updates are stored in :-

/data/data/org.lineageos/updater/app_updates

They stay there until deleted by a long press in the app. Settings->About Phone->LineageOS Updates

PS. I have never managed to get a successful download via the Updater app, each time I have to manually download it in the browser. :( But if I place it in the correct folder I can tap on it in the updated app and it reboots and installs correctly!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Paul_Lunardi:
This morning I downloaded the update and it was sooo quick compared to normal. What version of boot loader do you have?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
My Updater downloads at a leisurely 300kb/sec I think it fails when the screensaver kicks in, but not always. It's a bit like checking if your fridge light goes out when you close the fridge door. I have put down the failures to my broadband provider being congested.

getprop ro.bootloader tells me G900FXXS1CQBW

Hi,

Is there any chance to get touch working through S flip cover window? It displays everything properly (incoming call, clock, alarm) just doesn't react to touch.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] 3mbedded:
This ROM has bugs with image rotations. Even in the photo editor, images are rotated incorrectly. I've addressed the issue to haggertk (developer) before but I still have not heard back or seen a fix yet.

It seems like the S5 LOS port gets official updates and fixes of LineageOS but haggertk does not address some device specific issues for the S5.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Have a think about that for a minute.

Priority: the right to precede others in order, rank, privilege, etc.; precedence.

#fitittome is there a place to report device specific bugs beside this thread? I'm afraid that they will be lost here after a moment...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] dezzo77:
Can anyone please confirm a few things for me with the latest builds?

- Can the Hardware Buttons Backlight be disabled? (mine has light-bleed defect and I need to disable)

- Can the Back/Recents buttons be disabled, while leaving the Home button enabled?

- Can the onscreen Navbar be added?

When I tried Lineage on my S5 a couple of months ago, these options were missing.

I can't find any info on if they have since been added and I really want to return to Lineage :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Yes. Settings->Buttons->Backlight

You can set buttons to 'No Action' which may do what you want.

Bugbash (Weekly/Nightly Bugs). https://wiki.lineageos.org/bugreport-howto.html
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] 4rz0:
There is no in-ROM option to do that yet for this device (there is for my Note2), but you can disable the capacitive buttons and enable the navbar either manually by editing 2 files (google) or by using an app (I use

[root] Soft Buttons

).

Once the Navbar is enabled, the menu to modify it appears under Button settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] marty_s13:
Trying to flash the latest release but it just gets stuck on patching files unconditionally. Gets to the end of the bar and doesn't finish no matter how long I leave it. I've tried wiping system which doesn't help. This is going from 10/5 to 24/5 and kltedv.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mattnin:
Excellent job with Lineage Haggertk. Did a recent update and everything continues to run nicely. Anyone looking to backup apps, I recommend oandbackup from fdroid.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
There maybe a recovery log in /tmp. Use file manager in twrp to copy it.

Maybe format system in twrp, rather than wipe..
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] chainzy:
I haven't had any issues flashing it.. Still using twrp 3.1.0 at the moment until I update it. Are your mms images rotated the wrong way?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] marty_s13:
It doesn't seem like it? Could the flashing issue be due to the fact I'm using my SD card as internal storage? I didn't have any issues with my last flash though. I'm using 3.1.0-1 at the moment. I guess I could try a full wipe and see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] chainzy:
The last month or so anytime I get a mms it is rotated in the landscape position. I might try a clean flash during the week. I'm not to sure how to help you.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Amirk365:
Thanks mate, anything without Force Doze? Not to sound ungrateful, but for me its a toss up between CM13 and BS Free Rom due to battery life. However having used this ROM, I really missed some features.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DickyG:
This is annoying...I posted previously that I had no data connection and it was suggested that I needed to upgrade my modem to MM...and it's failed every time I try. Here's what I did:

1. Opened Odin 3.1.1 and right clicked to run as administrator

2. Unticked auto-reboot

3. Went to CP box and it located CQC2 modem...md5 check successful

4. Checked debugging on my phone

5. Got into download mode

6. Connected phone...Odin recognized phone

7. Hit start...and it fails every time

Tried the same procedure on my old Galaxy S4g...and I got a "pass" (still unknown baseband because it has no SIM card).

I'm frustrated...any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Amirk365:
Try an older version of Odin
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Zoomed:
I don't have any screenshots but this ROM has excellent battery life if you keep Location and autobrightness disabled and remember to put the Battery Saver to "efficiency" on every boot (you need to switch to any other option and then put back to efficiency).
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] cal002:
1. unplug USB and power off the phone (if in doubt, pull battery)

2. hold vol-down+home and power on to boot straight into download mode

3. connect USB and flash with heimdall or odin

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DickyG:
Thanks but it's just not working. No matter what I do...I've used 3 USB ports and 3 USB cords..., it fails just after "now writing...please wait about 2 minutes".

But you mentioned Heimdall...used it extensively when I had the Galaxy S4g..haven't used it in a few years but does it flash tar.md5 files? I forget. If it does, I'll give it a shot.

My Odin will fail everytime if I don't pull the battery. What version of Odin are you using? I've found that some versions have never worked on my s5 and only do when ran as a admin.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Urm, are you sure? My Odin is 3.12.3.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] omgbossis21:
I use Odin 3.10.6
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Amirk365:
Thanks, much appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DickyG:
I do a battery pull every time. So far, I've tried versions 3.09, 3.11.1, 3.12.3 and maybe another one or two. Also, according to my device manager, my Samsung USB driver is up to date. This is getting frustrating. Thankfully, it's not hurting my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] txordi:
Try with 3.10.6 and if it gives no results, with another USB. I have had problems with some USB cables sometimes. Also plug it a usb 2.0 port.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] thaidroid:
Thank you very much for Recommending oandbackup. :good::good:I thought I'll give it a go and I'm truly impressed, for the first time in a long time I was able to restore app and data on lineage and the app actually working after restore. Even Better I backed up my 64 USER apps(app and Data) in Lineage, Did a clean install of CrDroid 3.2 and Restored apps and data and it all worked great all apps worked with data intact Skype and Viber up and running immediately no need to setup again. Amazing backup app, user interface so so:cool: many features I have not tried yet.

BusyBox required. So basically for use after clean install yo need to set Linux to permissive and install Busybox and then oandbackup. Do a app/data restore and your off to the races(permission need to be re-approved for some apps) Google and read up before use.:good::good:
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DickyG:
OK...tried 3.10.6 and failed again. As far as using a 2.0 port..I'm not sure if my ports are 2.0 or not...the computer is new...got it in January. Tomorrow I'm gonna download Odin and one or two modem files to my wife's laptop and try again. I just can't see what I've done wrong...pulled battery, checked to see if drivers were current, used different ports and cords, different versions of Odin...the phone gods are not being kind.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] thaidroid:
If it's a Desktop computer make sure you use the USB ports at the back of the computer(Usb ports on the motherboard).
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DickyG:
Do you mean Smart Switch? Assuming I can't get Odin to work, how could I upgrade a modem using Smart Switch?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Yes, I do mean Smart Switch sorry. Um, I see your point. You need to get Samsung Stock back onto the phone so Smart Switch will recognise it. :( My problems were EFS related..... Scrub that idea then.

I know you have said that you have tried 3 different cables. I have had that issue too with a batch of cheap ones from e-bay (the kids always loose them!). I couldn't get Odin to work with those. The Samsung original would probably have worked but it was long lost. I ended up using a 'white' cable with a ferrite ring at one end, much higher quality and worked instantly!

Also, I had a problem with one phone and the USB connector, worked fine for charging but again problems with data transfer. With that one I had to plug the cable into the phone and slide a pen under the usb connector, so the phone rested on it at a 20 degree angle (making good a dodgy connection, I guess).

My only other thoughts are if there is an SD card installed? Also, thinking that maybe a proper re-format, rather than wipe, in TWRP wouldn't hurt. What error message do you get, exactly, in Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] marty_s13:
Just an FYI. I think I had a corrupted download with the 24th build that was causing it to not finish the patching system. I tried 17th and it installed fine so I re downloaded the 24th and that installed fine too.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Brokulli:
Hello

On the beginning everything was fine.

Unfortunately for a month (I suppose since update from 2017-05-10 or 2017-05-03) I have a problem with Samsung S5 (SM-G900F).

The phone is restarting itself. It happens once-twice a day, no matter what you do.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DickyG:
First of all, thanks for all the time you've taken. This morning tried wife's laptop and it failed at the same point, right after "writing...wait 2 minutes". Used Samsung USB cord..and 2-3 different versions of Odin. There's got to be some glitch in the phone.

You mentioned the SD card...I have an 8GB one installed...been using it for about 6 years and pulled it from my old phone when I got the S5. If there's a potential problem, I could do a backup and re-format. I also have a blank 16 GB card laying around somewhere. Is it possible that something in the SD card is causing the failures?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mattnin:
oandbackup doesn't need busybox or permissive settings in Lineage. Just install, grant SU in privacy guard and you're good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
I would try without the SD card. Also try a reformat from within twrp.

( Microsoft "10" , more so for the Insider Preview, over write the darn things....)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] thaidroid:
Hmm, that's what it said on their site, never mind it's installed and working fine and I have other app that needs permissive when installing and busybox for running. I use SELinuxmode app to switch between permissive and enforcing.
