How do you revert back, as you say?

Have the latest kccat TWRP?

Try:

Backup with TWRP

FLASH latest nightly in TWRP and select there the update, click "add more....(?)files" or something like that and select the latest OpenGapps you have downloaded before this, of course.

https://opengapps.org/. Personally I use the MINI variant Gapps but that is personal, but it works for me.

You can flash more than one file in the same action.

Hope that helps?

am I the only one that wonders what happened to the great developer [MENTION=3419717]cvxda[/MENTION]? She seems to have dropped all activity on XDA since a couple of months, and while still the official maintainer for kccat6 and the nightlies still being regularly built and released for this phone at https://download.lineageos.org/kccat6, it is only receiving generic lineageos updates and no longer device-specific work by cvxda because she appears to have dropped all activity.

So i really hope that in the absence of a device maintainer, the nightlies will keep working for as long as possible. I am just wondering what happened..

I'm just glad that the nightly updates (lineageos master) are still automated and so far working perfectly stable without this extra attention.

Note: I believe that the main post information header;

deserves (forcible) updating or a link to the nightlies due to the current situation. There are updates from last week. And so much more regular than the main post claims..
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tr0jance:
I tried the 08312019 update and it's not working as well, I have the zip for the 08232019, and what I do is reflash it if ever the latest update is not working, currently I can only update up to 08232019, all other updates after that will end up on the bootlogo, then a restart going back to the twrp menu.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] andreoide:
This is above anything I can think of

I suggest you send a private message to cvxda Corinna, maybe she has the answer for you my friend.

Can't say much with regards to your question. But I have seen specific changes by [MENTION=3419717]cvxda[/MENTION] lately. E. g. several (if not all) categorized as "android_kernel_samsung_apq8084" included in the August 28th build - while submitted already two weeks earlier.

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] js-xda:
She has

not

dropped all activities.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] andreoide:
My thought is like: after all those many hours and days and nights she has spend making and make better and better so that what we can use as our daily driver, my guess is her main point of interest has changed to something else, but still she keeps an eye in sight if necessary important changes are really needed. Something like that.

I can understand that, after all that time it might be a little boring and I tell you: I would too!

I just hope she keeps maintaining this work, even if its just a little, I will be thankfully for that, just like I am for all the huge effort she made so far!

Let's not forget developing is something completely different than writing a letter to Grandma :D

For now we can keep fingers crossed, I hope cvxda, Corinna has a great time in whatever good things comes across her path and enjoys it well deserved!

:good: :good:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mxz55:
Well said.

We can only be grateful for any work that keeps the base LineageOS updates run perfectly stable on the S5+ like it still does today.. due to her still doing the neccesary compatibility work, and watching over anything that really needs to be done. Apparently, the compatibility level is currently high enough for LineageOS master to survive on a bare minimum of custom changes, I'd figure because of a lot of device work having already been put in in the months with most of her activity. So, it will probably last for a while, and when it stops doing so, she'll probably jump in like with those recent changes. That shows that she truly cares about (and never gives up on) the community behind this phone, probably only because of this extended support.. and that deserves respect.

So yeah, so far so good, and the developer still deserves a lot of karma.

I tried the 0906 update and I'm still getting a long bootlogo and then the phone will restart to recovery, I revert back to the 0823 update are anyone else having the same issue, or is it just me? I really don't want to format my device.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] andreoide:
Salam Alaykum my friend,

After struggle for so long, if I would be you I had formatted the phone already long ago.

I think really that's the only option left.

This is what to do:

Go back to last satisfying working state

Backup all personal things

Full format and wipe

Maybe in your case install with Odin first the last Samsung FW so you have the right modem etc? I don't know how you messed up so far, just a tip.

Start from scratch.

You'll see in the end you be happy to have a fast good working ROM again.

My guess is you tried something not suitable from XDA for your device, messed up and made no TWRP backup before....

Even before nightly flash I backup the whole thing with TWRP, just in case to be sure so I can always go back to working state.

Always TWRP backup before doing other things than just installing apps...

And last tip: after format and have working phone again use titanium backup!

After first install if the app backup everything, and do backups if new apps when they work fine.

Just go format your phone now and report here later my friend. Good luck!

Peace :svetius:

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tr0jance:
Do you happened to know if I can reset the system without removing any of the saved files on my device.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] andreoide:
There t a few options...

One is hook up t PC and save files manually

Other is use TitaniumBackup. It saved my #ss more than once.

Copy whole map WhatsApp to SD external or t PC

After reset download from google again, and copy the map back to internal SD if you did not use TitaniumBackup.

Don't forget that when flashing new ROM or going back to factory reset everything on internal SD will be wiped unrecoverable unless you made TWRP backup.

I hope this is enough info for you. Take your time and think things over before you reset, so you'll not regret that later.

Goodluck my friend :good:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tr0jance:
Not sure what fixed it but I'm now able to update, not sure if its because I'm now installing an updated version of opengapps everytime I install an update or because I removed a magisk module of gcam. But every thing seems to be working now. Even viper4android is working and I didn't wiped anything.

Battery drain problem

Thank you to all developers for the great new images.

Unfortunately, the Battery Drain problem is still existing when the device is switched off (KCCAT6) . At the moment I'm using the TWRP Recovery function to turn it off, but for me it's just an emergency solution. Are there any news about it ?

Greetings

Schaagi
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Marvin732:
I have that problem too sadly, I thought I was the only one with it.

Even when I turn off my device and put it away, when I want to turn it on on the other day it is empty and the battery only lasts 2 hours, which is why I "sadly" upgraded to another device but still use the g901f for myself.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] andreoide:
My "solution" is like:

Charge before sleep, keep the phone ON but turn OFF WiFi and Data, so things like WhatsApp can't disturb your hours in dreamland.

I mostly sleep overnight no more than 5-6 hours so this way there's little drainage, variable on the age of your battery.

The most power draining thing you can do with a phone is flashing nightlys so always plugin the power chord while doing that.... Your battery will fall in love with you for doing that. lol

:cowboy:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Marvin732:
yeah the problem is, it drains over the day VERY quickly, so that i cant use my phone without having a powerbank with me. i am going to change it back to Stock ROM as an update, maybe its because of the Modem.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] andreoide:
In that case if I were u, I'd go back to stock, than u have latest modem etc, if it works okay make a TWRP backup, than try lineageOS again and see what happens?

On the other hand walking around with a power bank while making calls could make u appear someday on the US Tvshow ridiculousness ROFL.

No sorry joking but I would try new battery, they cost like 10-15€ or like 20 $ it could be your batt is worn out now.

Keep in mind stock Samsung is very very outdated and no more maintained by Samsung: possible safety-gaps!

Whatever u do, I wish u good luck my friend :good:

Latest flash build 16.0-20191010 together with open gapps Arm 9.0 mini wich i always flash cause phone to boot and stay in animation untill 15minutes passend i pull the battery.

Thankfully before every flash I TWRP backup so here I am reporting this back on builds gapps and nightly okt5

I redownloaded files and reflashed, same thing.

Now I'll go flash again without the open gapps, report here back later.

Edit: (Reporting)

Standalone nightly kccat6 works, as soon as i flash it with the opengapps 10-10 it fails, booting hangs in the Lineage boot animation, even when I take an older gapps like okt.09 fails same way.

Nothing changed on the phone, why is this happening and what to do? Please help. :confused:

Edit: (little later)

I read on reddit many reporting same problem

And in XDA: /android/software/pa-gapps-continuation-t3098071page625

They report builds 9 and 10 (unclear if they mean gapps or lineagebuilds?) are broken....

I'll stick to the okt 5 builds both lineage and gapps arm 9 mini. I'm so glad I'm such a carefully person backup with TWRP before every huge change like flashing....... :good:

TWRP saved my azz again

Peace. :cowboy:

Edit 11-okt 2019:

New nightly Lineage and GAPPS, nothing changed, advice stick to working rom.

From what i understood is the problem is not in the Lineage Package but the GAPPS.

See: https://xdaforums.com/android/software/pa-gapps-continuation-t3098071/page625

Peace
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] js-xda:
Thank you for sharing!

Just wondering: Did you try updating to latest LineageOS nightly but skip doing the GAPPS update? If using the build-in update tool, it will not flash updated GAPPS either and I have good experience doing so for months. The GAPPS will update themselves anyway. So, AFAIK no security risk not to update GAPPS by flashing them.

EDIT: Just read your post in the other thread. So, it works also with newer LineageOS builds unless you touch GAPPS builds with the issue as described there.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] katipo:
This ROM has been a bit of a bust for me. As mentioned above, it doesn't work with gapps (fails to boot). Not only that, but it's impossible to get root working with any method (G906S). I'll need to revert to a different ROM for a while. Thanks for all the hard work in porting this though.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Hellisonearth:
i recently had a reboot trying to call someone with 901f, couldnt really call that ROM stable.

interesting gapps-problems. I dont know those problems, since i never update gapps with a new nightly.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] js-xda:
Please do a bit of research before jumping to conclusions. The "GAPPS issue" is to my knowledge solely related to GAPPS and has nothing to do with this build (or many other builds were people also report issues with GAPPS). See amongst others the link posted above.

Gapps issue solved

You can flash nightly and gapps

To answer what I did meanwhile was flashing working gapps before date of faulty gapps came out and flash the latest nightly's which were ok.

But now all troubles r over

Peace

:good:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] js-xda:
If you are happy with the battery life (switched ON) using stock ROM, I would still suggest to look into details whether a specific app that you are using is not getting along with the current LineageOS (or you blocked maybe LineageOS to restrict the background activity while not being aware that stock ROM does it anyway?). I can tell you from own experience that I can run anything from morning til evening (heavy usage with quite some mobile data) til 2,5 days (morning day 1 til evening day 3; low usage and using mainly wifi) with quite some apps (mail, two messengers, using browser and multiple news apps, ...) installed. Therefore, I would make the assumption that it is not solely due to the LineageOS KCCAT build (for G901F) as I am using it as well with above mentioned experience.

If your battery life (switched ON) is also not good using stock ROM, I would recommend as well to go for a new battery.

https://www.checkmarx.com/blog/how-attackers-could-hijack-your-android-camera

Google & Samsung Camera Vulnerabilities

After a detailed analysis of the Google Camera app, our team found that by manipulating specific actions and intents [2], an attacker can control the app to take photos and/or record videos through a rogue application that has no permissions to do so. Additionally, we found that certain attack scenarios enable malicious actors to circumvent various storage permission policies, giving them access to stored videos and photos, as well as GPS metadata embedded in photos, to locate the user by taking a photo or video and parsing the proper EXIF data [3]. This same technique also applied to Samsung’s Camera app.

In doing so, our researchers determined a way to enable a rogue application to force the camera apps to take photos and record video, even if the phone is locked or the screen is turned off. Our researchers could do the same even when a user was is in the middle of a voice call.

The Implications

The ability for an application to retrieve input from the camera, microphone, and GPS location is considered highly invasive by Google themselves. As a result, AOSP created a specific set of permissions that an application must request from the user. Since this was the case, Checkmarx researchers designed an attack scenario that circumvents this permission policy by abusing the Google Camera app itself, forcing it to do the work on behalf of the attacker.

It is known that Android camera applications usually store their photos and videos on the SD card. Since photos and videos are sensitive user information, in order for an application to access them, it needs special permissions: storage permissions. Unfortunately, storage permissions are very broad and these permissions give access to the entire SD card. There are a large number of applications, with legitimate use-cases, that request access to this storage, yet have no special interest in photos or videos. In fact, it’s one of the most common requested permissions observed.

This means that a rogue application can take photos and/or videos without specific camera permissions, and it only needs storage permissions to take things a step further and fetch photos and videos after being taken. Additionally, if the location is enabled in the camera app, the rogue application also has a way to access the current GPS position of the phone and user.

Of course, a video also contains sound. It was interesting to prove that a video could be initiated during a voice call. We could easily record the receiver’s voice during the call and we could record the caller’s voice as well.

Hi I am having problems flashing this rom to a G901F, and I hope that somebody here can help me out. I was able to successfully flash the TWRP recovery using Odin. However after flashing Linage the phone always boots back into TWRP, even when selecting the boot into system option.

I tried to following things to no avail.

- Completely wipe the phone using twrp /data /system /cache etc.

- Wiping after flash

- Flashing with and without Gapps.

Flashing procedures is successful doesn't log any errors. I figured the next logical thing is to update the firmware. But I am unsure of which version to select, I am currently downloading firmware: G901FXXU1CRH1 from https://samfrew.com/download/GALAXY__S5__/w48q/PHN/G901FXXU1CRH1/G901FPHN1CRH1/ .

Hi, I also have a problem with this rom on my SM-G901F. I am well versed with flashing roms etc as I have used lineage on various other devices. My problem is that when i flash lineage 16.0 on my s5 plus. Everything goes fine, i boot into the OS. set everything up, start installing my apps etc . I even make a habit of rebooting a few times and shutting down completely and powering the phone back up to make sure it boots. Usually its fine for a while , until at some random point when i reboot the device then it gets stuck in a boot loop. Shows the Samsung S5 boot screen , screen goes black, vibrates then back to boot screen, rinse and repeat. My only option is to then go into recovery and reflash. I have tried various flavours of open gapps. I have tried mindthegapps.

If i flash lineage 14.1 i have no issues, im currently running that without issues for a few weeks now.

I have the same issue if I try resurrection remix pie on my sm-g901f.

I have read on this forum that it was a bug related to gapps but it has since been fixed..

A couple of semi-unrelated questions for the guys that have had their sm-g901f's for a while:

1. What is the latest available version of lineage 14.1 and does anyone have the .zip? mine is around June 2018
