I don't believe that there's ever really been an "Official Statement" for this other than if a specific device has been dropped for a few reasons by the Lineage Team. Then this is Typically announced on the next Official Lineage Blog on their website.

Though my statement can only be verified or corrected by one of the Official Lineage Team Developers like [MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION]...

I think it usually happens when a device got promoted to new android version, the development for the old one will be stopped (except some unofficial builds from our great devs). That happened from old cm days. Anyway, I don't think that much work has happened in the LOS-14.1 branch for the last few months (not much device specific changes, at least). So, is there any reason to still use LOS-14.1?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Bubka3:
Nope, nothing like that.

For me, my phone does not rotate on the 15.1 builds. I haven't seen any progress on that front (except for people blaming "broken" sensors) so I didn't upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ranniel:
You can disable the location and the rotation of the screen will work properly
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] darzur:
It works indeed, but disabling location is not an option for many of us anyway. It will be good to have working rotation with location enabled - am I right?

#Bubka3 is not the only one who have problems with rotation. I have latest baseband, LOS 15.1 was cleanly installed and I have problems with rotation too. Battery drain is much higher than was in 14.1 too. Now my SGS5 barely lasts 12-14h on single charge and on LOS 14.1 it was much closer to 24h with same usage patterns...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kaBOOOM2k5:
hmm i also have the rotation bug, but i do not have any battery drain issues although i did an upgrade from official 14.1 to 15.1 as mentioned in Changelog-16, so no clean start. But for me the battery last as long as on 14.1.

Hi everyone

Tried to flash L-OS 15.1 on my S5(g900F) but it says this file for klte,.....etc and returns error 7 everytime

i'm on L-OS 14.1
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Upgrade TWRP. Update your baseband too while you are at it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] rhyzan:
Hello. Don't have major bugs on KLTEKOR on the latest build atm. Smooth as butter. But I just wanna drop by and say congrats to [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] as the new director of LOS!

Also [MENTION=7060205]sunilpaulmathew[/MENTION] did Samsung updated their baseband and bootloader for KLTEKOR?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] sunilpaulmathew:
Unfortunately, no update after 2017 January.

Anyway, the latest official Oreo ROM is working fine in my Korean device as well...

Security support for 14.1 ???

[MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION]
[MENTION=7978913]fitittome[/MENTION]

I am on 14.1 from the beginning, joining all the problems it had and now it's really great,

:good:

but I don't wanna upgrade to 15!

I want a trouble free phone, which I got now!

:good:

So will 14.1 be supported at least by security patches as promised?

:confused:

Would be great and thank's to haggertk for all his effort!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
I see Security patches regularly getting merged into the framework for versions 11, 12, 13 (Legacy versions) as the branches aren't locked. I think there is a team member assigned to it. The Lineage infrastructure which is always at capacity, can only build the current version for each of the 185 supported devices. Now 15.1 for klte. So, via official channels, its only 15.1 from here on in. But you will, of course, be able to build your own 14.1 versions long into the future. Maybe someone here will do it unofficially and post here....
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] yeahman45:
Navigation bar customization is reset after reboot or shutdown. Anyone has fix?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Matteo_666:
Is there an official 15.1 thread for our KLTE? Searched but didnt found...

Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A5010 mit Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ibuprophen:
There is none that's specific to the Official LineageOS 15.1 builds.

Typically, the prior build version (in this case, the Official LineageOS 14.1 thread) takes on the continuing development (The LineageOS 15.1 builds) until further guidance is provided by one of the Official Lineage Team Maintainers.

There's no telling weather this threads title will be updated to the 15.1 or a new thread will be created.

A few days ago I had sent a few of the Lineage Team members a PM regarding this specific question and I haven't received a response but, I'm actually not expecting one because I just wanted to make them aware of this.

Good Luck!

From all I have seen, definitely the right man for the job!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
For me there is an extraordinarily good reason to use LOS 14.1: With LOS 14.1 you can use the ro.sys.sdcardfs option in build.prop to choose whether you want to use the sdcardfs or FUSE file system. LOS 15.1, on the other hand, forces you to use sdcardfs. However, only with FUSE it is possible to mount a folder of the SD card transparently and reliably into internal storage and thus considerably expand the internal storage. This way I store all WhatsApp media on the SD card, for example. sdcardfs, on the other hand, is totally castrated and doesn't allow that anymore. Besides the miserable battery life, another very good reason not to use LOS 15.1 until further notice.

I just upgraded to Oreo today. My phone was encrypted and I'm on a G900V. Backed everything up, made a firmware tar but forgot to install it haha, installed the newest twrp. Flashed 15.1 and opengapps over my current daily driver. Had a few system force close at boot up but no errors since. It looks like the upgrade has went well so far! Just need to flash the new firmware and I should be good! Thanks to haggertk and the rest of the contributors here! This phone is STILL awesomesauce!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] thegreatkazoo:
Looks like I have the update for lineage 15. Might get it but I think it'll be to heavy for such an old phone. Anybody running it yet?

Still can't find my backup from recovery which sucks too. It takes up space but it's nowhere from what I can tell. Might just pull everything with adb and sort through it.

But, I got my unlock code today from TMobile, I out in my brothers att sim, entered the code, it said successful but it loops back and ask again. Any help with this??
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Bactu:
Hi!

The 15.1 is now listed as the next upggrade in the LOS update system so it's now official. I've looked for the "official 15.1" thread without success, in order to see if there's anything buggy/doesn't work. Where can I get that info?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mrmarioman:
Hi all,

I'm getting a 'Your device isn't compatible with this app' message when trying to download the Netflix app from Google Store. Any ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Henki98:
Has anyone tried the venom kernel and the tuned kernel on oreo? which is better?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] colt2x:
Hi,

I have a S5 (G900F) with official Lineage 15 (updated from 14). I hope that it's the appropriate thread for this. I have some strange things :

- Short battery life, with 14 and 15. I have a worn original and a new aftermarket battery, but phone discharges fastly, even with economic modes, low performance

- Strange sensors. Both proximity and gyro sensors are acting one-directioned. So proximity can switch "near" mode, but cannot detect if the object is near is moving further. The gyroscope cannot detect turning, screen "stucks" at a position.

If i touch any touch or press buttons, the mentioned sensors can detect again, until the next state switching. This error did not appear on 14.1.

Question is that have anyone experienced this? Is there any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Bactu:
You know... You CAN upgrade but it's better if you just clean & wipe and start from scratch... I had those kind of problems sometimes when upgrading from different nightly builds on 14.1
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ibuprophen:
Yes your in the right place for the LineageOS 15.1 support and guidance.

I do believe that I've noticed other members with the same/similar issues regarding their Battery Life Usage and/or their sensors.

I think that about half of them had one or both issues resolved with a fresh install but, I'm not 100% about this.

I believe that there's something different/weird about what many of the members have been experiencing when they perform an Upgrade vs Fresh Install.

I'm not stating that anything is specifically wrong with Upgrading the LineageOS to 15.1 but, I'm just expressing my personal observations.

The Upgrading Feature that was done for the LineageOS 15.1 implementation seems to me that they still need to iron out some items that's being reported.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] colt2x:
And [MENTION=4254439]Bactu[/MENTION] also :

The battery life issue was present with 14.1 too. The sensors issue not. Can it be some driver problems of sensors?

And, upgrade was not known by me, the update notification came up, i did the update, and after boot i was like what is this? :D The UI changed.... what? :D And that was the 15.1. Would be good to solve these, as 15.1 is very good!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Bactu:
Say what??? I couldn't do OTA update! I had to manually download the 15.1 file and manually upgrade via Recovery. In the update notifications I had listed the 14.1 and 15.1 but I couldn't select the 15.1, there were a link with the instrucions on how to manually update it!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] colt2x:
The official Lineage does OTA for me since i know CM / Lineage. Since a few versions the download location changed, and the automatic update does not work because the recovery does not see the directory where the file is downloaded; but it's suspicious that with root it will work again (mine is not rooted for security reasons). So i said OTA because it would be an OTA, and we download the same file when updating manually.

And the 15.1 came to me as i said : i got a standard update notification, and since then, it's 15.1 :D
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lobsturf8200:
A trivial issue perhaps...but does anyone experience a glitch in Privacy Guard to enable and disable apps, while in the Dark Black theme/style? Works fine in other styles.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DanteGG:
Hello,

I would like to share my experience as it lead to a seamless upgrade process - LOS 14 -> 15.1

1) Manually download the 23072018 nightly, Oreo Gapps, and SUaddon.

2) Upgrade TWRP to latest (3.2.2-0), boot to recovery

3) Backup in TWRP

4) Wipe - Advanced Wipe - System (leave Data untouched)

5) Flash LOS, Gapps, wipe Cache&Dalvik, reboot to system

6) Reboot to recovery, flash SUaddon (I have forgotten about the addon while flashing system, reboot in between may or may not be necessary), reboot

That's it, this way I got to keep all the apps and settings and haven't experienced any strange behaviour, errors, or reboots. Even the battery life seems to be at least on par with LOS 14.1 after just one full charging cycle.

I hope this helps anyone to achieve a smooth upgrade without a full wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] matiasoc.s:
Hi! It seems like the battery charge is drained too fast, read about it in some post on this thread but find no solution. In the ss seems to be a excessive use of battery by a "red móvil en modo espera" something like mobile network in hold mode. I do not why, cose I'm in an area whit excellent mobile signal. Any ideas?

... are not even an Official Lineage sites and the information isn't always in real time either.

but, they still use the LineageOS 14.1 and even the CyanogenMod 14.1 branches for many devices.

The Official real time information can be located on the two following Official links.

Other question,

i new on aosp,

1. i flashed los 14.1 from Stock Lolipop (BL Lolipop) ,

is problem or not ?

must i flashed again from Stock Marsmallow (BL MM) ?

2. what else can i flashing to make this rom get better ??
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
For me it's really sad and also a bit annoying that the LOS 14.1 branch is not maintained anymore. I am somewhat disappointed that I would have to go through all the teething troubles of 15.1 if I wanted to stay reasonably up to date.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
I may start making an unofficial build to keep 14.1 going. It would be little more than a monthly build to keep up with security updates. I may be able to offer a signed build and fix the updater to update from my own server. I'm a bit new to all this dev stuff. But I would only do it if [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] didn't object. Its his baby after all. He may have his own plans. I dunno.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
If you did, you'd be my hero! :) I have no plans to switch to 15.1 for now. If so, maybe at some point it will be 16, simply because 15.1 no longer supports the FUSE file system, which in some respects means considerable limitations.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mattnin:
Is there any way to make the phone boot up using a password but then require a pin or pattern to load into the OS to unlock? I seem to remember reading that someone did that, but for the life of me I can't figure out how.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mattnin:
I've already encrypted the phone and set it to require a pattern at boot and to unlock the phone. What I would like to know is if I could require a password during boot and then only require a pattern to unlock the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
I think there was some misunderstanding. FUSE has no limitations, but sdcardfs. Lineage 15.1 or Android 8 supports to my knowledge only sdcardfs. I think FUSE was the best file system for SD cards. It enables reliable mounting of folders of the SD card into the internal memory. E.g. with utilities like Apps2SD or FolderMount. sdcardfs does not allow this.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] wieman01:
Yes, it is possible. I use an app to do that for me as LOS does not support different passwords for boot and unlocking anymore. Try CryptFS. It is simple enough to set up.

I use a pattern for my lock screen and a complex passphrase for the boot process. I have also an app installed that lets me turn off my phone with a text message should I ever lose it. This way my passphrase protects my precious data.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mattnin:
Ahh, thank you! How did you get it to work with a screen lock pattern though? When I set it up for a pattern lock, it asks for the current password using cryptfs and I'm not sure what to enter when it is a pattern. I was able to set up my phone with a boot password but when I tried changing the screen lock to a pattern, it would also reset my boot password. I was however able to set up a password for boot and pin for screen lock which is very nice and should be good enough for me for now. I would like to use a pattern though if I can.

I just found another program now called SnooperStopper in F-Droid which also allows for a separate boot and screen lock password and also has a mode where if the wrong pin is entered too many times, it shuts the phone down requiring the stronger boot password.

What app do you use that turns off your phone? That sounds like a great addition too!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] wieman01:
It is a while back when I set it up, but I remember the dot in the upper left corner represents a '1', the one next to it a '2' and so on. It works perfectly with a pattern although it is a bit of a hassle to set up for the first time.

I use an app I wrote myself two years ago. You can download it through GooglePlay and it is completely free. It is called "KillingMeSoftly". Perhaps it works for you. Your phone needs to be rooted though.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mattnin:
Very nice app! I just tested it out on my test phone. Any chance on making it open source and putting it on F-Droid?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] revjamescarver:
FUSE

FUSE is an obselete workaround for SD cards, that's why it is not supported anymore, with the completed version of sdcardfs FUSE no longer serves any purpose so don't expect it to be in any future versions of Android
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] wieman01:
I may in fact. I just never got around to doing it. I will look into it in a couple of weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] frogzz:
Hi! In LOS 14.1 there was an option in WiFi settings: Country Code, I can't find it in 15.1. Anyone knows if it was moved or deleted?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
It serves the purpose of reliably being able to mount folders as described above. I would be very interested to know what significant advantages sdcardfs offers to the user. To my knowledge sdcardfs only means more restrictions for the user and no advantages.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] revjamescarver:
Each to their own

Guess you're going to be stuck on 14.1 then as FUSE is not supported at all, and good luck with any security updates unless you want to build it yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
Well, I guess I'll just get stuck at 14.1. :p I very much hope that [MENTION=7978913]fitittome[/MENTION] will continue the branch! As mentioned above, many 14.1 branches for other S5 models are still being maintained, but unfortunately not for the G900F! :mad:

If the G900F had 32 GB of internal memory, I wouldn't have any problem doing without FUSE, but at 16 GB it's unacceptable to me. I need to mount some folders whose apps (unfortunately) don't provide a location setting for the data - like WhatsApp.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] colt2x:
Hi,

I have the same problem, since the 14.1 , and 15.1 is doing the same high drain.

For me, selecting other network is not OK, because the provider's mobile data connection works only with LTE + GSM
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] matiasoc.s:
Hi! Actually the high drain persist, think it was corrected but not, it reaches 40% of usage. It may possibly that is an outdated base band database, but I'm 99% sure that my database is updates cose some years before I do the last official update,but maybe I'm wrong, so how do I know what database band I'm currently using?

I had massive battery drain issues when I dirty flashed over LOS 14.x. Yesterday I flashed the most recent baseband, swiped all and flashed the 20180730 from scratch. Now my phone is way more responsive and battery lasts four times longer.

But I found something that doesn't seem to work. When I try to access the advanced setting in Display and try to change the Dark to black the app crashes everytime. I can provide a log at if someone wants to take a look.

Hi,

Yes, at mine too, with GSM only settings too.

But i'm not sure that mobile network is draining the high current..
