Are we saying that sdcardfs is OK with vfat and has problems with exfat? My SD-Card is formatted vfat. The only JIRA I can see about sdcardfs is my old one about not releasing space and others saying it was related to corruption. Which turned out to be a bug in 'Files'. I know that the dev applied the latest patches for sdcardfs at the end of July. It's been over a month and there would be a fair possibility that this vfat/exfat issue could have been looked at and fixed by now, not necessarily by our dev but by one of the others, if things were being channeled properly.

Battery Issues.

OK, I am agreeing with you now.

Whilst this is not exactly scientific, this is my test S5 from clean install of the latest nightly yesterday. But identical none-gapp configuration.

Yeah not really scientific. 5%/16h is impressive, but did you mean no gapps with " none-gapp" ? If so, this is no solution. I need push push messages from google services for my Threema and I need the playstore. In the past no CM has battery problems with gapps to my knowledge. The official LOS Android should be compatible with this.

Yes I can try to fiddle with microG, but there are other problems (eg when upgrading or with play store so far I read).
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
It's a virgin LOS install without gapps. I prefer this for testing because the various Google apps and installation thereof have created a number of problems in the past. I know people get hooked on the additional functionality GMS provide in exchange for personal data etc.

The various patches will make their way into the nightlies, it just takes a bit time. https://review.lineageos.org
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] systemcrash:
To anyone complaining about apps being closed in the background - complain to the app authors. LOS re-implemented the ALMK (adaptive low memory killer) on LOS, which will terminate some backgrounded processes to free memory. Apps (not especially services) running in the background use OLD Android design strategy/conventions, instead of the CURRENT or FUTURE. Send this to your app developers

But understand this: In Android O - the next version of LOS, Android itself LIMITS background processes. Any 'backgrounding' must be requested by Android Os scheduling mechanisms. This is currently OPTIONAL for apps in Nougat, 7.x (LOS 14.1), but will be a MUST in O, 8.x.

Those of you complaining that your background apps are getting killed, might be happy if the ALMK patch is removed, but you will not be happy when upgrading in the future. No background tasks is a good thing: more battery, better foreground experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
I think that's the way it is!

No, the issue is unfortunately not fixed. I have just tested it with the last release. The ZeroSizeFilesTest still returns an error.

Hi, i'm new here. Can someone show or give me a link for download ROM and GAPPS that suitable and stable for G900F? Hope someone can teach me how to root this smartphone and install this ROM. TQ :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Ah, OK. Maybe that's the problem then. Mine's fine formatted to vfat with sdcardfs with the ZeroSizeFilesTest. vfat, 25 year old technology, tried and tested. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
You maybe right, BUT: I have the choice between using sdcardfs with vfat, which means that files cannot be larger than 4 GB, OR using FUSE with exFAT, which allows me to have files of any size on my SD card. Since nobody could tell me yet (I had asked several times) about the advantages of sdcardfs compared to FUSE, I prefer to use FUSE and then have the ability to store files of any size. So I could also say: FUSE, old technology, tried and tested. :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] andacro:
Google "lineage os klte", and also google "opengapps" Get the opengapps for arm, and 7.1. Download both and move them to your external sd card. Flash TWRP for klte in Odin (you can find Odin at Sammobile at the page where you download the firmware). For Odin to work you got to install the Samsung USB drivers from "SAMSUNG Developers", which are found with a goggle search.

IMPORTANT: Flash TWRP in AP in Odin, and get the latest bootloader and modem from the Alexandr thread, and flash the bootloader in BL, and the modem in CP. You can flash TWRP the bootloader and modem all at the same time in Odin. To get to the download mode for Odin to work, hold first volume down, home, and the power button. Then volume up to enter the "download mode".

Post 7445 at https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/dev...-multi-csc-t2813628/post73567688#post73567688

Backup your phone with TWRP to your external sd card. Wipe the phone in TWRP, but not the external sd card. TWRP doesn't backup pictures and such, only the system and apps.

Then install in TWRP Lineage OS first, and then OpenGapps. You can get to TWRP after a shutdown with volume up, home, and power, in that order. Finally holding all three at the same time.

To get full root in LOS you have to google for "root addon LOS" (which is flashed in TWRP). You can then enable root in the "developer" in settings. You enable "developer" by tapping the build number five times in "about phone".

I hope this helps. If you wonder about something, just ask. :)

A last but important note, Odin is done when it says "threads finished".

I made a lot of logcats this afternoon because of the "am_low_memory" problem but none of them shows a "E/MP-Decision" error. But I use Boeffla Kernel. As the mpdecision service is watching the load on the device and controlling the governor / CPU load it's a kernel related problem as I suppose.

Hello, sum time ago I lost mi site and now I am completely blind person. I rely on accessibility services to use computer and smartphone. For android that’s service is talkback. Also, I use lineageos because it delivers me a last android version with accessibility improvements. Google doo everything to improve accessibility of their own applications. AOSP is accessible too, but lineageos’s custom features is inaccessible in certain ways. For example, lineage recorder has a not labeled buttons. It is most painful for blind people. Because we don’t see graphics instead we rely on text to speech.

System ui is also have sum such buttons.

I ask, tell the developers about these problems.

I believe that together we can make los most accessible custom rom in the world.

Sincerely, Alexander. Russia, Moscow
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
Hello Alexander! I am very pleased to see your contribution! Unfortunately, the barriers for people who are not able to see are so high that they are rarely found in these forums. I also think that far too little is being done in the area of IT for people who can see poorly or not at all. The problem has become bigger and bigger, especially due to the introduction of graphical interfaces. Thirty years ago, in the days of MS-DOS, this was no problem at all, because everything was text-based. At that time, we had many blind users who were able to use our discussion forums via speech output systems.

But I fear that LOS will not be able to meet these demands. Developers are already overwhelmed with the task of maintaining LOS 14.1 (e. g. if you see how long it takes to implement the latest security updates). I think that a really good system for blind people can only be created if someone takes special care of this particular issue and develops it together with the blind.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] systemcrash:
Probably good advice just to reformat the SD card to get it to work, but I fail to understand *why* one should format the SD card where the same formatted SD card worked fine with all previous builds of CM (13 etc) and other phones/ROMs.

Is selinux too restrictive or some FAT formats just a bit much to handle for CM14.x at the moment? Needs exFAT?

The weird thing is, I can plug my phone in and AFT can write files via MTP to my SD card while CM14 is running. But apps on the device can't do sh*t with content on the SD.

Early CM14 builds *could* see my SD card and read from it, CM filemanager etc, but now they can't even read from it.

Here are debug logs which show some selinux denials from the root CM filemanager, for any interested dev.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] ThaiFighterGo:
One thing I noticed that is working very well, is bluetooth. When I had CM13, bluetooth headset never worked right. So I always used wired earbuds on this phone. I accidentally paired my Backbeat Fit and total forgot about the bluetooth issue. It doesn't skip every few seconds like it use to on other builds.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] :
well, judging by all of the commits on cyanogenmod/gerrit relating to sdcardfs, throughout october, my guess is that there may be some subtle changes that have made your formatted card incompatible.... maybe there is a bug, but i don't have time myself to be loking thru all of the changes n code to give u a full explanation... also, i have bumped into having to reformat an sdcard, due to not being recognized before on android (just not on cm14 for myself, i didn't have to reformat).

regardless, reformatting will fix your issue.

about selinux, maybe i'll have a look later.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] haggertk:
While our kernel supports sdcardfs, we no not yes make use of it -- we are still using vold. That's not to say that there aren't possibly some permissions or other problems. The cm-14.x infrastructure bring-up is not aided by commercial development funding like the previous several major releases, so things are going to be a little slower.

The provided logs did not indicate any kind relevant of selinux denials and I didn't spot any obvious issues as I quickly scanned through before heading to work, but I need to look at them again.

Security Patches

For how long Security Patches will be provided for Lineage 14.1 ???
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] haggertk:
I would expect for a long time still. People still backport patches to the cm-13.0 and even 11.0 branches, so I would expect that 14.1 will receive backports for at least a year, if not longer.

For the record, Sept patches were merged today. Things were delayed because Google did not cut any Sept tags until after the 12 Sept coordinated BlueBorne disclosure and then we were waiting for a 7.1.2 tag. Once it became apparent that 7.1.2 would not receive any further tags, the appropriate changes were picked from the released 7.1.1 tag.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] haggertk:
What if I were to tell you that I'm not sitting around ignoring this... This is sdcardfs on top of exfat. I just need to get a global nerverallow selinux policy relaxed for kernel exfat.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Frankly, I am amazed that it's on your radar. You have a million and one things to deal with. The JIRA it was in the middle of, started off as a completely different issue (which in itself was a different issue) and turned into an unfathomable tangle.

I think the whole community here is a great resource and there are many here who will make the effort to try something out, confirm issues for each other. We all have different skills. It is what makes LOS great.

I enjoy getting to the crux of a problem, identifying it (not to a programming level because that is beyond me) then trying to make it reproducible. However, there is an expectation that getting these sort of issues onto JIRA will happen automatically. Clearly it cannot.

Everyone has to take responsibility for the bug/issue that they discover and take charge of this final step. Report back to the forum and we can vote on it or contribute other evidence etc. Let's face it this topic is over 800 pages and therefore a poor platform to track anything!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] alex19EP:
Hello, thanks for answer. But I think that my demands are not very high. Android is already being accessible os. Especially stock Google’s android. Los is based on AOSP that why it is very accessible too.

I ask only to not ruin that. For example, if los community is developing an app: label all buttons, or if u make changes to android’s system ui for example add new button label it. I think it’s not too difficult.

Yes, I know about it, but I think that system mast be accessible without it
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
I think you have isolated the problem. It is the app development. The developer here lives inside the OS at a much lower level than you are asking about. LOS includes a number of apps that have been rounded up into the fold:-

AudioFX

Calculator

Calendar

etc.

What I would do, is take an app that is important to me, figure out where the labels are missing (which I guess maybe tricky without help) then file a BUGBASH on the weekend. I would imagine that the next time the app is looked at, maybe for unrelated issues, the app developer could go through and make some amendments if time and priority permit.

Keep it simple and straight forward, so the developer can tick the items off. I would imagine that a 'Please make this app accessible' request would not be dealt with because they wouldn't know where to start. To do it properly would probably require a UI rewrite, but asking for a label to be attached to this button is much more quantifiable.

Good luck.

Is it worth updating to the latest nightly? I'm running 0906 nightly and so far it's pretty good, as far as responsiveness goes, but aside from that - battery drain is ridiculous. Btw, I just lowered swappiness from 100 and 30 and it's been rock stable experience so far. With 100 swappiness sometimes apps just crash randomly, Youtube would force close without any warning. Weird. Hopefully Oreo will be better.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] b0ng0:
Running the latest nightly but have had this issue for the past month or two (was not always present): there seems to be some issue with accessing the external SD card for some applications.

An example would be downloading a podcast using pocketcasts and when it's finished it shows as undownloaded. However if I ejects and mount the SD card then the file now shows as downloaded and it can be played.

A more annoying issue is that I have the camera set to save files to the external SD card. For photos this works fine but if I try to record a video it doesn't save it at all. If I switch to internal storage then it works fine.

Any suggestions or are these known issues?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
My suggestion would be to format your SD-Card as vfat. That will probably do the trick for the time being. :cool:

I remember the beginning with horror when I thought it was a problem with WhatsApp or the Boeffla kernel and when Lord Boeffla (and most of the community here) almost bashed me for it. After all, we're getting on well with each other again. ;) Then I can now have the legitimate hope that I will be able to reactivate sdcardfs and that the reception of WhatsApp media in folders bound with Apps2SD will work again.

At this point I would like to thank you for that! Furthermore, I'm always happy that you're responding to the problems of every user here, even if everyone else thinks he's an idiot (and I know what I'm talking about). You deserve a lot of praise for that! That's what keeps the community together. You'd make a good mayor. :cyclops:

I have had the swappiness for a long time now on a value of 30 and everything runs smoothly and wonderfully! Moreover, I have no problems with 20170913, everything is going well. You just shouldn't use Boeffla kernel beta10, as there are memory problems (forced close). As far as the battery drain is concerned, I noticed that it is extremely related to the bootloader. I flashed the original Samsung bootloader from April 2, 2017 (G900FXXS1CQC7) a few days ago and since then the drain has disappeared. Therefore I would strongly recommend to experiment with different bootloaders. Even if it is recommended to always use the latest one, I can't recommend it at all! For me the latest one from May 4th, 2017 creates spontaneous reboots and an extreme battery drain. The same applies to that of March 6th, 2017.

This sounds very much like my WhatsApp error (sdcardfs), which causes received media not to be downloaded. Have you ever tried disabling the sdcardfs file system in favor of FUSE? This might fix the problem. See here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73664033&postcount=7992

I actually remember using one of the first MM bootloaders and my God the battery life was incredible (It looked like the phone would survive a decade on standby and from there, it went down horribly). Almost 10h freaking hours of SOT, it was spectacular to see that. Well, anyway, I think I'm gonna downgrade my bootloader and find, which one gives me the best results :) I remember using first MM Sammy builds and phone never went above 50 degrees.
