Modem? Radio? What does that mean? I've just flashed the LOS 22.2.18 build from twrp over the latest completely official software (marshmallow) and then I flashed the micro gapps package for ARM 7.1. Before flashing I also used twrp's wiping function. I did not change any setting, just a slide across the screen. Surprisingly my personal data was still there when I booted lineage, and it still is! Is there something wrong with the steps I've followed? Or is it fine?

The only problem I've encountered using the rom is random reboots. It does not happen that often actually, something like once over 2 days, but I was wondering if that depends on the lineage build alone or on some compatibility issues with the completely stock software I'm coming from.

Thanks in advance, I'm a newcomer!!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Bootloader, Modem & Radio are collectivly called firmware. Sometimes Modem & Radio are called baseband. Frequently these terms get used interchangably and it is always confusing. Modem & Radio are often found, packaged together, on various sites like Sam Mobile, Updato etc. Unfortunatly they often do not include a matched bootloader. Mixing the two can lead to odd, intermittent problems on the device.

Firmware lives on seperate partitons on each device, because they are critical to the operation of the device .

There is an assumption made that you are on the latest Samsung stock *before* you install LineageOS. this ensure that all firmware is upto date. Some people just keep on installing the latest and greatest Lineage version, neglecting the firmware..... they will ultimatly hit problems.

The dev has a set of the most common baseband and bootloaders, but they are not quite the latest, but will certainly suffice. Just pick the latest set for your device and flash with Odin. Search this thread for specific instructions but Odin takes care of making sure they get installed on their repective partitions correctly.

If your device isn't on the devs list, you are going to have to make your own set from Samsung stock, again search this thread for details.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jeremywh7:
Well, they are specifically pre-compiled firmware ("blobs") from the OEM, required for init/boot/OS-handoff, phone/data, and wireless/bluetooth (respectively). As there is no source code, we rely on the blobs separate from the OS (Android) firmware ("ROM"), and installing LOS does not touch them.

You can see what is available (and latest) at sammobile. Check your exact phone model. E.g. for the G900T:

Date: 2017-04-02

Country/Carrier: USA (T-Mobile)

Version: 6.0.1

PDA: G900TUVU1GQC2

CSC: G900TTMB1GQC2

The last four letters are what are typically referred to here; in this example, "GQC2". If you were running the latest OEM build for your phone, then you've already got the latest blobs.

Hi all

Just want to mention on my phone sm-g900i when I plug in the charger the lightning symbol didn't appear on the battery bar though when I bring down the notification bar it shows the lightning symbol and it's actually charging.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kshanowski:
How to do that?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jeremywh7:

US Cellular Galaxy S5 CDMA SM-G900R4 Roaming Lost Connection Fix

I have US Cellular SM-G900R4 and lose my connection while roaming after a couple minutes. If I switch to CDMA/EvDo auto I get 3g for a couple minutes then lose the connection. I discovered after switching the apn was not automatically selected. Once selected the phone maintained a 3g connection while roaming. So if you are travelling you need to switch to CDMA/EvDo auto then go to apn and tap the radio button. voilà

Hi all

Query re lineage os contacts app...

I accidentally created 2 contacts on the phone memory as opposed to my Google account. After doing so I wanted to export these contacts to Google though there didn't appear to be an easy way to do this.

I did achieve what I was after by extracting the contacts to vcf then importing the contacts. I was then prompted where to save it I chose Google.

I was surprised I couldn't figure out a way how to export the contacts from the actual persons contact.

If anyone can describe an easier way that would be appreciated.

And if not where the best way of suggesting to the developers to add the feature?

Thanks

LiveDisplay color profiles menù is missing .. i did two updates allready but on this smg900f the option color profiles is really missing.

Uodated with latest baseband and bootloder but nothing to do.

Someone else had this problem ?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mattnin:
I frequently travel too and notice I lose connection when roaming. I'm on KLTE VZW on Verizon. Not sure the solution. I just end up rebooting and it'll work after that. If I am flying and go into airplane mode and after landing turn airplane mode off it works though.

Samsung internet fingerprint doesn't work!

After i've flashed and installed LineageOS and redownloaded Samsung Internet, it doesn't prompt me to add a fingerprint for secret mode, and i can't find it anywhere in the settings. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Anyone tried to update to the 02/03/2018 build yet? I've updated my ROM through the official update method loads of times but this one just won't install. Just says:

Zip signature verification failed!
Error installing zip file '@cache/recovery/block.map
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Just try installing manually in twrp.

Edit: that maybe hasty! Try an adb pull /tmp/recovery.log then pastebin the results.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jeremywh7:
I installed the 02mar2018 build on the wife's G900T on Friday, worked fine. However, while I download it thru the auto-updater so it also verifies, I never initiate the install from it. Then I reboot to recovery and manually install from /data/lineageos-updater (or whatever it is). This is because I also need to manually reinstall (copy the backup to priv-app) Pixel Launcher (Google Apps script doesn't keep it), then delete LiveWallpaperPicker, Facelock, and FlipFlap from /system/{,priv-}app

Hi all

My phone took a good 30 seconds or so to wake up and temporarily blacked out my screen. I've been noticing a bit of this behaviour of late I'm not sure as to whether it's got anything to do with my SD card.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] cal002:
There are no errors related to SD card in your logs. No idea about your problem.

It seems that HDR will be re-added again in next nightly as you can see in the upcoming changelog :)

https://www.cmxlog.com/14.1/klte/

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
I'm not so sure about that. It is only spoken of "Video HDR". Nothing is said about HDR photos. I also thought a few weeks ago that the HDR functionality would return, but it was a mistake. I don't believe in it anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] 10goto10:
Yay! The bigger news IMO is that phase-detection autofocus should be working now. Hopefully focusing will be as fast as stock TouchWiz now!

It is mentioned in the camera HAL commit: 'fixes HDR'

Can't encrypt my device

I can't encrypt my device. When I start the encryption, my device restarts. Lineage OS version 14.1-20140104-NIGHTLY-klte
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
That almost sounds too good to be true. Well, I'm looking forward to it. Maybe this time there will really be a late Christmas present. :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] cal002:
I wish it were so, but my feeling is setting the phase-af parameter doesn't have any effect, but

I kept it so you can test and tell me. The Samsung camera app also sets it but it also sends

a HAL_SET_SAMSUNG_CAMERA command during init that makes the HAL start to behave

in strange ways.

How does one activates this function in TW?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] knojap:
You don't have do activate it in TW. It is default. Just use an RC App and the Notification LED will shine in blue if you send an infrared signal.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] sk1887:
You can with test mode, *#0*# (only

TW

roms). it will just have samsung IR code. Still I doubt they will even care of adding blinking led for lineage ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] knojap:
I do not need to test it in TW. It is working.

I would like to have it in LOS.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
Great, great, great! HDR is working again with the release as of March 9th! Thank you so much to all those who took care of it!

I'm using open camera since I started to use this rom but I don't like it because it is very slow. How is the stock camera performing in the last build? Is it normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
I don't notice any lags concerning Open Camera. LOS camera (Snap) is not able to take HDR videos, but only HDR pictures. Whereas Open Camera is aware of HDR in video mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] cal002:
Snap can do HDR video, but the setting is hidden in advanced settings menu (tap "bright screen" seven times). However, some of the advanced settings won't do any good and might even cause camera HAL to crash. I have a patch pending that enables video HDR by default, but I'm not sure it's what people want. Maybe it would be better to change Snap to show the video HDR option in normal menu.

Fingerprint inop after system crash/factory reset

Hi,

I've been going through several posts here and on the web, but couldn't really locate anything helpful ...

Last night, my S5 w/ Lineage 14.1 did a factory reset not sure what happened, but it was totally nuked ... started setting it up (I did have some 1+ month old backups, so better than nothing), but noticed my fingerprint sensor isn't usable anymore ... it was working before the factory reset ...

Some more details - I have an SD card in it (I believe encryption was on, though not sure about that), but other than that, nothing notable ...

I saw one post on the internet that stated that on re-installation, an incorrectly formated system /data partition that previously had encryption may show this behavior ...

As during the re-install I once accidentally completely wiped the system (not sure if I hit the /data too - it was empty afterwards), I don't know if this applies in my situation ... anyway, several clean re-installs still never gave me the sensor ...

Anybody have an idea what is causing this, and more importantly, how to get it working again? Using the fingerprint is so much more comfortable than putting in passwords ;)

P.S. - S5 KLTE, tried an early February as well as the most current from March 9th ... also tried a Data wipe, still no change in the sensor recognition..
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fluxus_pt:
Hi all,

I was using Stock 6.0.1 but I've missed LOS like my OnePlusOne...

So I did flash via Odin TWRP and then LOS + Magisk and Gapps. So far so good, but something is missing...

- Gaming is very sluglish, I can't even move the character on MiniGore2 (my fav WC game) and FC.

- ANT+ HAL missing? (installing via GPlay both ANT+ services didn't do the job).

- Those screen image profiles (cinema, normal, reading, etc) seems to be missing as well.

Is there any Snapshot or more stable build?

Cheers and keep the good work!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] sk1887:
Please try to flash back original stock samsung with odin. Check if the fingerprint works. then repeat the lineage's install procedure.

There are no snapshot, these are considered to be stable builds.

If you really need ant+hal and image display profiles, these are sadly features that only samsung TW roms have. As well for games, Samsung roms are of course more performing with original software...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] GarryG:
Until the reset last night, IT WAS WORKING! Lineage version from January ... I've not had an original Samsung OS on that phone until literally 30 minutes after I got it ... CGM initially, and lately LOS ...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] haggertk:
I guarantee that you did a device setup with already-encrypted userdata. Format userdata in twrp.

Wipe -> format -> type "yes"

Backup anything on internal storage that you still need because it will be gone.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] aureljared:
That version is really old. Had my S5 encrypted since 2017/12 without problems, though it does take a while to decrypt on boot if you enable Secure Startup.

Update your device.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Blackburn119:
Change your cpu governor to conservative whenever you gaming, then change it back to interactive when you stop gaming.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] GarryG:
Nope, didn't help ... did the format, clean device, same error on the initial setup of the FP sensor ...

Trying to use a stock Image w/ Odin next ...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
That's the Wipe menu, then press the 'Format Data' button, then type yes to confirm. I've done this dozens of times in testing and it always resolves TZ issues.

If that didn't work all you can do is revert to Samsung stock and check there to eliminate sensor failure.

There is also a very remote possibility that your firmware/baseband maybe old, but that's unlikely if you have had it working before on Lineage.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] GarryG:
After running into the typical (I assume) hidden.img fail, and fixing that, 6.0.1 was booting, but never made it over the Samsung logo ... had it running for 30+ minutes ... now found other posts where people had the same problem ... seems like I have to flash an older version in order to get it to work initially ...

As I wanted a halfway working phone, tried restoring my backup - now TWRP complains it can't wipe the SD card on restore, while the regular wipe will format it ... WTF? This gets worse by the minute ...

Anyway, with 5.1 on the phone, I was able to do the fingerprint registration in it ... now back to trying to get Lineage working again ...

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

OK, after all of this, re-installed clean 14.1 March 9th version, and -- same error as before ... :(
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
Really old? Lineage OS exists since end of 2016. And Android 7 was released in August 2016. So there can't be a Lineage OS 14.1 version from 2014! That's absolutely impossible.

Hey everyone,

I have been using a G900F with LineageOS 14.1 for approximately 9 months now without any troubles and was able to install APKs just fine.

But suddenly, when I want to install an APK and click on it, the phone does not show me an option to "install" anymore, only to "open with Texteditor or OpenStreetMaps". I have tried different APKs, checked that I still allow installation from unknown sources, there is enough free space left on the phone.

I have no idea what the trouble could be and I cannot find an answer online because all I can find is that people need to turn off their screen dimmers. But I don't even get to the point where I see the option to install the APK.

It would be great if you could help me, because I really don't want to wipe everything and install LineageOS again.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Rocthrower:
It sounds like the Package Installer is either disabled or not the default application to install APKs It would reset all of your default apps, but you could try going to Settings>Apps>3 dot menu>Reset App Preferences and see if that helps.

I'm on the latest 20180309 and can install apk files without any issues.

Hi all

Yesterday I attempted to talk to a family member using WhatsApp and Skype and I was told that I could barely be heard.

This has also been the case with another friend on Facebook Messenger.

I know in the past I've read of people flashing something in twrp to address this issue.

As this is a known issue is it worth getting a logcat for what I'm experiencing?

Phone call volume have never been an issue.

I'm on the latest lineage 14 os for my g900i phone.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
And it is working! At least for me.

I don't think so. Because this issue is dependent on the individual hardware. So there is no universal solution for every phone.

No Outgoing ring or busy signal (ringback) only over some Bluetooth Devives

Hi Any help would be greatly appreciated!:)

I have had a long standing issue with not getting outgoing ring or busy tones (ringback) when connected to when to my Pioneer Avic F90bt car Stero & Navigation head Unit. The Bluetooth version in the stereo was originally 1.2 but it has been upgraded to update ver 3.3 (latest update but no idea what real bluetooth version is). The head unit is WinCE.

This is my main phone in my main car!

My Main phone is an SM-G900W8 klte on Lineage OS 14.2 March 16 2018.

I have the stock kernel rooted with reccomended root.

I did a clean flash coming from Slimrom 6.01 (MM). which had the same problem, as well as others.

The problem was not there with Kitkat Slimrom which I had a long time ago, the problem is not there with an S5 Neo SM-G903W stock rom nougat yesterday with updates.

This occurs after a fresh install wiping everthing repeatedly in TWRP, no matter how many times you wipe the cache and Dalvik.

I have had this issue for years, but only with is head unit.

Recently I installed a VOIP dialer Media Phone 5 which works perfectly ringback & all.

The Problem is always there since KitKat no matter what I do on this phone.

Unfortunatly nothing gets my Ringback on calls from my carrier even with a fresh install on my SM-G900W8 not even Gapps. I would rather not go to factory Rom but need this as I drive a lot for work and depend on calls.

It works fine on newer car stero's. I tried a newer Pioneer and a Dodge truck. I am suspecting a setting perhaps bluetooth, perhaps telephony? Any help would be greatly appeciated.

Thank You all!

I am the principal firmware developer for a business-oriented cloud managed firewall/router that makes extensive use of ipsec for site to site VPN features.

We do support l2tp over ipsec for road warriors, and I have tried to make this work from my lineage 14.1 phone. At the present time, we only support ikev1 though we will be adding ikev2 soon.

I can tell you that the VPN app provided with LOS (and also, I believe, with AOSP) is simply broken. The l2tp feature just doesn't work. My diagnostics tell me the phone is not properly handling the authentication, and short of digging into the code I don't know what to do about it.

I have installed the strongswan app that is available in the play store, but it only supports ikev2. Thus, I don't know if it works (yet). After I get ikev2 working on our system, I will take a look at it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
That confirms what the developer of Netguard says, with some frequency. I summise that this is probably the root cause of why the Netguard app fails completely on the Unofficial 15.1 (Oreo) too. Frustrating.
