I flashed LOS 15.1 on this second hand S5 (SM-G900M) I got, but can't get the camera to work, I just get a dark screen. When I first flashed the latest TWRP and LOS I didn't check for the firmware it had installed so after I got the camera error I proceed to update the firmware but now that I flashed what is supposed to be the latest firmware from SAMMOBILE I'm still facing the camera issue. Any thoughts? I installed this version "G900MUBU1CQD1" through ODIN. Is this what you guys mean when you say update your firmware?

EDIT: posting this on the LOS 15.1, didn't notice this was for LOS 14

Dear all,

Hope all is well with you.

I'm using for a while the lineageOs. I'm very happy so far. Indeed a nice, fast and reliable Os.

Made my old phone crack the new ones!

The only thing bothering me is when I need to do some video conference (whatsapp, Skype, etc.) the other side barely hears me.

Is there any way where I could increase the microphone capture?

Appreciate in advance any help.

Thanks!

Which is the smallest opengapps package I should install to get Google Assistant (aka ok Google feature) to work with LOS14.1?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ibuprophen:
One option is for you to install the Pico package (which is the smallest one) and then go to the following Official OpenGApps "Advanced Features and Options" Github Page and scroll down to the last category "Links to GApps on the Play Store" and you will see the "Google Assistant" link and install it separately.

https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Advanced-Features-and-Options

The following is just an FYI on the Official OpenGApps Github link is to a general Comparison chart that does help give you an idea of the different package comparisons. Though not everything is listed but, it does give you an overall/general view of them.

Good Luck!

Hi all

I have 2 questions :

1- best kernel to use i need max battery autonomie

2- any way to use theme.

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Uggg.. did you see, that to get Google Assistant to work ro.opa.eligible_device=true has to be set in the build.prop file. That's a read-only file which can only be changed by the maintainer unless you have root. I guess it matters little as Gapps has to be flashed at the same time as LineageOS which achieves the same. So, no Google Assistant without Gapps. I guess I shouldn't be surprised at that, really........

This must be part of the issue with some devices requiring Google blobs to be included in the LineageOS distribution in order to get Google Fi working, which has be discussed in depth elsewhere.....
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] RECKOR:

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DragonQ:
Has anyone else had issues with signal after switching networks? I recently switched from EE to Plusnet in the UK, and Plusnet actually use EE's network. Yet since the switch, my phone's signal has been really dodgy. I'll pick it up from my desk and see no signal at all. I'll turn airplane mode off at work and it'll take over 30 seconds to get a 2G signal let alone a 3/4G one, whereas before I switched it happened within a few seconds.

Is there some setting I need to change or reset? The reason I think might be LineageOS related is that my partner's phone shows none of these issues and she also made the switch from EE to Plusnet at the same time. She's running stock firmware on an LG G5 Plus.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
try comparing APN values. Settings>Network>Mobile Network>Advanced>Access Point Names
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DragonQ:
Thanks for the suggestion but the first thing I did when putting in the new SIM was put in all the APN values from Plusnet's website. Any other ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
I guess you are UK, therefore you are probably using a 900F. Make sure your baseband is up to date. CQK3 is the latest, I think.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DragonQ:
Currently on CQAV, will try updating thanks.

EDIT: Updated bootloader and modem, but then phone just got stuck during boot (LineageOS loading animation for 10+ minutes). I then reinstalled LineageOS and wiped cache, now phone is just a black screen saying "System UI has stopped" every 5 seconds. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
I'd recommend to flash Modem / Bootloader G900FXXU1CQK3 / G900FXXU1CRA2.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Ummm. Opengapps?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DragonQ:
Tried that, didn't help. In the end had to wipe the system partition and reinstall, and then LineageOS didn't give me the option to connect to WiFi before the "sync with Google" step so it wouldn't let me restore my apps, etc. I had no choice but to do a clean install basically. Oh well.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Well, a clean install once very so often keeps things zippy and clears out unused apps!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] systemcrash:
Interesting info - but sorry, no, this was not my use case of client on the phone - my use case is client on the e.g. laptop which connects via phone AP. Otherwise, I like the direction that wireguard is taking - it would be nice to see it land in LOS.

Guys im having an issue with my proximity sensor ,screen turn black and stay like that when i have a call it's hard to manipulate or end a call any solution to disable the sensor

Sorry for my english
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jiml8:
I would certainly expect that to work, presuming you have the laptop set up correctly and the server you are connecting to is set up to connect over NAT.

Or, do you mean you want the phone itself to be the server? Is there even an app to support that? Why do it anyway? There are a number of apps that allow your computer and your phone to connect; why use ipsec?

That is the Microsoft Windows school of system maintenance.

My workstation runs Linux. I have reloaded the system exactly once in the last 20 years (yes, not a typo... twenty years) and that was when I switched from a 32 bit to a 64 bit distro some 5 years ago. It works perfectly, is fast, and reliable.

With a properly designed OS, it should never be necessary to reload in order to clean things up to restore performance. And Android, based on linux, is properly designed.

Issu with the camera

Hello greetings. I'm having trouble with the native camera. When you take a picture, just as you capture it, the phone remains on a black screen. I have to remove the battery and turn it on again to continue using the phone. How do I fix this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Paul_Lunardi:
Hey there

I'm pretty sure I have Google assistant without the need to edit my prop file. I did download the Google assistant package from the Play store whilst initially it said my phone wasn't compatible after a number of hours it worked without the need to change the prop. (From memory). I'll see whether I can provide any more information.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
If you had Play Store that's a system app, so it can do the necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Paul_Lunardi:
Yes you are right sorry about that I may have jumped in the conversation without reading the entire background.

I'm glad it can run natively with gapps now I enjoy using the Google assistant. I do think the response time to open it can be slow but otherwise really like it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jeremywh7:
This sounds like the weak battery issue; discussed a few months ago. I.e. the camera draws more current than the battery can handle (regardless of it's charge level), and the system hangs or reboots. A way to verify; does this occur if the phone is charging? If you have flash on or auto, try it with flash off. Are you on the latest build?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jackson_c:
Is the weather of the lineage working? I have the providers installed, but I can not configure them to update the data without being locally activated, even by configuring the specific location.

Another question, can I place the Chronus directly on the lock screen, without the use of cclock?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] amirali_b:
Hey everyone.

I've used this rom for more than one year and its very good for me.

I have a trouble on my screen.

when its dimming after 20 second and before screen copletely turns off my screen have very bright and noisy green splashes and this problem occure when brightness is lowest in dark places and nights.

Is there any option or root file to change to turn off dimming or make it brighter?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fipsy:
This problem has often been reported here. It has always been a dying display. It has nothing to do with lineage.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] HichemTn:
Any way to get themes like cyanogenmod ?!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] amirali_b:
This problem could ignore by turn off dimming or make it even 1 level brighter. I tested it with brightness control in my status bar. It's occure when display is cold!!! In lowest level of brightness.

And when display get warm by working with phone this isnt happen!.

And with OLED display we didn't need dimming!

So is there any way to turn it off?!

I think it is possible. But how?

Edit: I found this page on the googleing

Wouldn't Anyone to try those?

hi guys I have a small problem. When I'm on a call and I put the speaker on, on the other end they cannot hear me or they hear me really quiet. I can hear them normally. Speaker off, everything's fine. I've tried both WhatsApp and standard calls, the problem's always there. Does anyone know how to solve this? Is there a workaround?

I have a couple details that might help diagnosing the problem.

1. A few days ago I have "adopted" an external storage, so that basically it behaves as though it was an internal storage now.

2. A few days ago I took a nandroid backup of all the partitions (I wanted to make sure not to lose anything and to go back right where I left after restoring ?) and then flashed RR 6.0 just to see how Oreo was doing. Then I restored my backup of all the partitions, but during the process there was an error line that said one of them couldn't be restored.

Now, I'm not sure that prior to these two changes the problem wasn't there, because I have been using earphones until last week so earlier I didn't really use speaker on calls, but I thought to mention it anyway.

Thank you guys!!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] amirali_b:
Yeah I've open all of my devices with instructions of ifixit website :D I love to see inside everything.

And for flickering issue we just prevent our phone from lowest degree of brightness ( brightness have 1 to 255 step) i mean make a solution to make it for example work with 5 to 255 steps.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] ItsMeShouko:
I highly suspect that flickering issue is intentional by Samsung (maybe forcing the user to upgrade to buy another flagship device), someone should try downgrading the firmware to see if the issue persists or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Paul_Lunardi:
Hi all after a failed attempt at installing Oreo yesterday I reinstalled lineage OS 14.1 with opengapps stock version (the opengapps mini caused issues where I couldn't install apks and was also getting errors that Google Play services was not installed).

I've enabled developer options though don't appear to be able to obtain root access for apps.

I've browsed through the history it appears to have been reported in the past but can't see any solutions.

Prior to my wiping and reflashing the device I had the options for ADB and apps. Now just ADB.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Blackburn119:
Lineage 14.1 doesn't come with root pre-install you have to flash add-on su or magisk supersu
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Paul_Lunardi:
That's odd. Because I didn't install SU or magisk on the last occasion and I was able to have root for ADB and apps just by enabling it in the development settings.

Can anyone else confirm what I'm saying to be true? Just out of interest as I'm wondering whether the design of lineage has changed since the early days. Or how I was able to get around it in the past.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] txordi:
You maybe did it by flashing the official su addon which is linked in the OP and then enabling it in developer options as you pointed out. Am I right?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Paul_Lunardi:
I honestly can't remember though I know I didn't have the icon for the su app like I do on my Samsung homesync media centre which I have rooted in the past and I flashed the Super user add on.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] txordi:
Yes, the official LOS superuser addon does not add any new icon.

Wireguard support

Will I be able to add WireGuard support to this ROM?

Okay, as far as I see it the S5 will never have WireGuard support since the Linux Kernel version won't be updated to 3.10
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Saber:
Well technically we only need the required changes from 3.10 to be ported for our kernel. So it's not impossible, but will take effort (I must assess to verify if my claims are true). Also, LOS14.1 development seems to have ramped down now to prepare for LOS 15.1.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Paul_Lunardi:
Hey all how are we?

Over the weekend I've installed lineage from scratch at the latest version with the stock version of opengapps. My phone now seems to switch off when it is around the 15 percent mark. It'll just docket quickly and go blank and I'll need to turn it back on again.

Is there any other information that I can attach that'll make it easier to diagnose. I'm assuming a logcat wouldn't be useful in this scenario.

Thanks.

LineageOS for MicroG. ~4hours SOT. 0% standby drain :) That's with a >3 yo battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] HichemTn:
How is that possible?!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Saber:
There are many factors that could influence this such as having a clean flash, using ROM without Gapps, etc. Using this ROM without Gapps and using MicroG instead made a significant difference to battery life. However, it comes with some drawbacks. LineageOS developers don't officially support the mod, and so it is likely that you are on your own in terms of issues. Also, LineageOS for MicroG doesn't come with Google Play Store, so if you require it, you might want to reconsider or think of new ways of obtaining the apps you need. There is an alternative mod called Nanodroid, but once again, it isn't supported by LOS devs, but has Google Play Store (with the correct zip).

Regards, Saber

Hi all I have just experienced microphone issues while using Skype and WhatsApp. I've never had issues with my mid not working at all. Initially i was having a Skype call using the microphone them received a standard telephone call to interrupt it. When returning to the Skype call my friend couldn't hear me. I attempted to restart the device but it didn't fix it.

Can anyone note any issues in the logs?

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Saber:

If you absolutely rely on the google app ecosystem, MicroG is probably not for you as it isn't compatible with some apps (hangouts, etc).

Hey all

I have a quick question in relation to Snap Camera. I factory wiped my device last week and I install the latest lineage os with open gapps stock version, I noticed that as a result my snap camera was missing but instead I had the Google camera. Are they both incompatible with each other? If I want to install Snap Camera how do I go about doing it? Do I need to make a choice between both packages?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Rocthrower:
I'm not sure how to install snap camera after flashing, but both camera apps can be installed and work just fine. I also use the stock build of Gapps. If you use a gapps config file, you can add the line "+CameraStock", and it will tell gapps to keep the stock (snap) camera, instead of replacing it with google camera. When you are done flashing the rom and gapps, you will find both snap camera and google camera installed. You could also install a version of gapps that doesn't have Google Camera, then sideload the apk and have both cameras.

There's more info about the config files here: https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Advanced-Features-and-Options
