Thnx, i needed to know that for the right gapps-version..

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

Hello,

I want to try out LineageOS 15.1 (i am on LineageOS 14.1 right now). My bootloader (for SM-G901F/kccat6 ) is: CQL5 and my radio is: CPJ1. TWRP = version 3.2.1. (i am not rooted)

I am going to do a "clean install" (wipe all but the external SD which holds the installation files). And after flashing the rom i will flash OpenGapps 8.1 nano and (only then) reboot.

Is there anything else that i need to flash/change?

I think you r prepared as same I would do. Besides a good old TWRP recoverer file and maybe a full titanium backup you r good to go I guess.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] pbecks1963:
Just to complete the checklist:

-twrp backup (check)

-screenshot IMEI (check)

-google backup settings (check)

-manuall backups from within certain apps (check) (ex: nova launcher, klwp, tasker, etc..)

How about root?

Is there a buildin option or should we use magisk?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] PhilCapron:
Root

The Lineage root for 15.1 is..... addonsu-15.1-arm-signed. zip... (938.10k).

Having used TWRP 3.2.1-0 to install it, enable it in developer options/root access.

HTH.

LineageOS 15.1

LineageOS 15.1 works well. Flashed without any problems. Will report my observations in the next days..

:good:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] andreoide:
Here too. Installed it with su and xposed and gapps mini. All working incl camera. But I had to go back to 14.1 with twrp because I was sooo enthusiastic I forgot to write down passwords and stuff LOL.

This week I'll re-fkash 15.1 again

Thank you for your effort Corinna
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Dannegarn:
Happy

I'm very happy with your lineage 15.1 and it works fine. But I have one problem when I'm being calt I don't get to see who is calling me. The pop-up with the option to accept the call doesn't show.

Sorry for my bad English.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] pbecks1963:
Hello Dannegarn,

I haven't got that problem. Is you phone also a Sm-G901F? Does your phone app have all the necessary rights? (did you do a dirty flash?) Did you flash the right gapps?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] flucker01:
can somehow help me with the slow charging after flashing this awesome ROM? my charging time now is at 4-5 hours from 2 hours using stock rom. my phone is Samsung s5 906s Korean variant. running lineageOS build 14.1-20180427-nighlty-lentislte. the I'm getting 2200mA using the stock rom. now I'm just getting 400-800mA using the same charger.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Not-Aus:
Try to set the default Phone App in App settings. Then the problem might be gone.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] edan13:
first of all thank you corinna for your hard work! been using your rom for over a year now and its good to see that there are capable devs out there still supporting this somewhat "exotic" device

concerning Lineage 15, can somebody comment on battery life? How is it compared to 14/stock?

also , can sb recommend a software/procedure to somewhat smoothen the migration from one OS to another (i.e. 14->15)? I alwasy find myself spending a whole day until i get things up and running again
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] andreoide:
Hi

I agree we can say we should feel blessed Corinna is maintaining and supporting the both os'es 14 and15

There is nowhere any ROM as good as hers!

Battery life I cannot tell I had no time to install lineage 15 yet. But in migration I think Titanium Backup will be your best friend.

Switching OS comes with reinstallation of many apps and arrange all settings again...

Goodluck! :cowboy:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] pbecks1963:
I would say that battery-life is the same compared to Lineageos 14.

Before i flashed to 15, my phone was lagging more than ever (i thought: EOL, Rip phone). But now my S5 is responsive at all times!

Thnx Corinna..
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Shirkahn:
I have installed the 14.1 from 04.05.2018 via OTA.

Since then I can no longer play videos. I can no longer make phone calls because the speaker is silent. I can not record videos anymore.

Cache and Dalvik I deleted in recovery.

The error happens after I replace the mixer_paths.xml and delete the dalvik and cache.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] rndbit:
Is it possible to enable soft keys? Internets hint at enabling them in settings>buttons but option is not there. Some other pages suggest editing /system/build.prop but that makes installation no longer bootable. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] andreoide:
Flash the same package within Odin?

Just wondering: why did not you backup first BEFORE altering something essential like you did?

I don't get that.

:cowboy:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Shirkahn:
I flashed with ODIN for the first time. Before that, I did a backup.

Thereafter, always installed by OTA the next ROM. What's wrong with that?

Because the microphone is too sensitive for video recording, I replaced the mixer_paths.xml. A few posts before that helped me so.

I have only shared my experience that the change has limited some functions. In Recovery I have the last ROM installed again. After that, everything worked again.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] edan13:
so i flashed to 15.1 and everything's mostly running smooth so far. couple of things i've noticed though:

sometimes upon rebooting my sim-card is not detected. this is only fixed by rebooting the device a couple of times (could be a problem related to the sim card itself but it seems like a strange coincidence that it would go belly up just now [GER carrier])

camera is still kind of buggy, i.e. if you close the app and reopen it the camera cannot be initialized anymore (by any camera app for that matter) and the device has to be rebooted (alternative cam apps work though)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Dannegarn:
After a second clean installation tion the problem m was solved. The only problem I stil have is that when I'm recceaving a phone call the app that normally shows who is calling you don't show. I did get my phone useable by installing a 3th party app. But it is only a bandage and not a real fix of the issue.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] robla1000:
I have the same (15.1 on G901F) so I don't think it's SIMcard-related. Not a big issue, and I'm convinced that Corinna will fix this soon.

These small issues are quite common when starting with a new serie. I myself am quite happy with 15.1 and I happily wait for new improvements :laugh:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] edan13:
been testing 15 for the last couple of days and it's pretty awesome! battery life at least for me seems almost a bit better even than with 14

two issues i encountered:

on my SD-Card not all directories that contain music are actually identified by the built-in music-player (or any other music player from the playstore that i've tried for that matter). So they simply don't play. When i tried force-rescanning the sd-card (the option is buried somewhere in the developer-tools) the settings app crashed repeatedly

i went jogging while playing music. the phone got pretty hot and drained 20% battery within ~45min. will try another music player
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Shirkahn:
Hello,

I really like the LOS 14.x, but I'm not satisfied with the photo and video and sound quality. The recordings of the concert last night I can delete all :(

I even tried several camera apps. But against the Samsung App no other comes up.

I use the camera more often than the phone function or write messages.

I will try to reinstall the stock ROM.

Regards
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] pbecks1963:
I can't remember a custom ROM that improved upon video or sound on my smartphones. If you wan't a fast camera or uninterrupted sound (music), stick tot stock.

(Just my opinion).
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] rommy667:
I have the sim issue as well all is ok for like 1 or 2 hrs then bang sim not seen reboot fixes it for a while than back to square 1,still a fantastic rom cant wait for some updates :)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] pbecks1963:
I just lost my data-connection on lineage os15.1 (cross in the statusbar at LTE). I rebooted twice but no dataconnection. I then went to the recovery and wiped dalvik&cache. I got dataconnection back. But just temporary. (For a couple of hours)

Strangely enough, when i enable vpn i get dataconnection back... (Via LTE!)

Just to be clear: wifi works, phonecalls works.

Odd?

PS: there's a reset for wifi/mobiledata/bluetooth in developer options. Problem solved!

PS: that same option can also be found in settings/network / internet / the 3 dots in the top right corner.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] snsnse:
I have the lineage-15.1-20180427-UNOFFICIAL-kccat6 build installed (plus openGapps nano 20180427).

In settings under "Network & Internet" -> "Mobile network" -> "Advanced" I was expecting to find an option "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" for using LTE services to improve voice and other communications.

Is this still missing/work in progress or am I looking in the wrong place?

Otherwise, great ROM and very stable so far.

Thanks, Nick

All of the sudden overnight my fingerprint reader for unlocking the screen has begin its own life.

Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't.

I have:

Reflash latest nightly

Checked all settings possible, removed all fingerprints and put 5new ones

slow video in browser

I am on LineageOS 15.1 and noticed a drop in framerate in online video's. I change "WebView-implemantation" (in developers options) to: "Chrome" and the lag disappeared in all browsers (chrome/firefox/"browser") :good:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tni.andro:
The stock rom has adaptive gain for the microphones, LineageOS doesn't. The stock rom will have better audio quality for recordings.

You can change the gain of the microphones (/system/etc/mixer_paths.xml config file), but it's basically a choice between the volume level being too low in some situations or clipping/distortion.

Configfile adapt is explained here

Hi Corinna (and other developers).

Using lineage-15.1-20180427-UNOFFICIAL-kccat6.

Thanks for solving issue with headphone jack.

Do you have an issue tracker on Github? So issues may could be managed better and can have a look at its state (?)

I know you're very busy at the moment, but I noticed some issues, which I would be happy if they're solved, if you have the time again:

• Like [MENTION=1795115]pbecks1963[/MENTION] described. There is a drop in framerate in online video's (with firefox). But changing Webview implementation doesn't work for me (neither Chrome nor Beta). Standard browser works.

• A related issue is, that Whatsapp (recordings) and Soundcloud do not play audio, and show a slowed playing time. But Spotify, Music Player and Telegram do well.

• Like already was mentioned the SIM card is not always detected on first boot.

• USB connection is always set back to "Charging", even if set it in developer options before connecting.

• My battery drains more than usual. Settings say that Kernel (OS) and System is responsible for that (15%) and Display only with 4%. I thought Display should be the highest consumer. I already cleared cache and updated to the latest bootloader/modem.

• Trebuchet crashes, if searching via App Overview in Playstore. Google Now Launcher works fine.

• Trebuchet background color (transluent black) only adapts, if explicitely set the (dark) wallpaper. (It's not initially black).

Some issue's probably are related to the main Oreo feed. Don't know what is device specific...

These are only some suggestions, I know debugging is very time consuming!

Thanks for maintaining this device!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] magic_42:
Hi there,.

after clean install of lineage-15.1-20180427-UNOFFICIAL-kccat6 let me give some first impressions:

- The SIM card is not detected reliably. Sometimes several reboots are required. In addition the connection to the SIM card is lost during normal operation.

- The contacts list is deleted when installing messengers like Whatsapp and Signal and has to be recreated after installation of these apps

- Whatapp voicemails are correctly received by the recipient, but can't be played on the own device (no sound and played in slow-motion). As well apps like TuneIn are muted.

- Camera sometimes crashes on startup or shows only black screen. A restart of the app usually solves the problem.

Just for completeness some shortcomings of LineageOS in contrast to a stock ROM are:

- The MHL protocol to mirror the screen contents to external screens via microUSB-to-HDMI cable doesn't work

- TeamViewer app: the option to mirror the screen contents to a remote computer screen does not work

Hi

Same problem to my side also as describe above two posts, because of WhatsApp audio problem this build atleast not for me as daily driver.other wise rom is very smoth.

Guys build 14.1 is stable enough for daily driver.?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] andreoide:
14.1 is very liable as daily driver. Im on it for months and i love it.

Though ill go to try out 15.1unofficial after ramadan.

But 14.1 is a beautyfull rom created by Corinna.

I suggest you backup your phone and do a full wipe, install latest nightly + gapps, and off you go!

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] VoxiBe:
I just updated my Galaxy S5 + to the latest official LineageOS build, thanks a lot for your work, the ROM is very stable and optimised ! I hope a port to 15.1 arrives soon but take your time to make it as stable as Nougat (not too much time anyway ?)

Hi Corinna,

first of all thanks a lot for your great work.

The same issues that have been described by Kraptoke and magic_42 also apply to me. (Using the same built lineage-15.1-20180427-UNOFFICIAL-kccat6):

What has already been mentioned:

WhatsApp: No sound/audio in voice-messages nor in WhatsApp-Calls

SIM Card not always detected - Several reeboots solve the issue

Camera sometimes crashes

NEW Issues that haven't been mentioned yet:

When I restart my phone, sometimes some apps are gone. After another restart they are there again. Also some apps are always in update or dowlnoad-mode

in the Google-PlayStore but the download wouldn't start.

LineageOS 15.1 (Oreo) preview builds 20180603

I made new LineageOS 15.1 preview builds available for kccat and lentislte.

This is still Work In Progress.

New builds are the latest from generic Lineage code, kernel update to May ASB, plus fixes for Widevine and the audio/video issues in the browser (hopfully in other apps, too).

Have fun,

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] cvxda:
No. It's all the latest from the Lineage repos but a 15.1 ChangeLog is only created for official builds. E.g., have a look into https://download.lineageos.org/hammerhead/changes/ plus what I talk about per device.

Corinna
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] cvxda:
We spent literally weeks on that issue already without being able to come up with a 100% working solution. For some reason it seems to occur less often on lentislte than on kccat6 with the current code, and for some reason it occurs almost never on my RR builds. But I have not the faintest idea at the moment what to do against this, sorry.

Please help!

After flashing latest nightly and gapps and xposed (all lineage 14.1) my phone keeps rebooting to twrp after like 5 minutes "booting" to OS, but it never comes to that, all of the sudden it reboots to TWRP.

I have latest kccat6 twrp installed.

All I can do is restore the backup I made after last week's nightly....

Anyone got any idea what to do now?

****EDIT ****

SOLVED

The thing is, for some reason i use tot wipe partitions first when flashing nightly's

So there i went... Wiping cache, system AND data.

That caused the boot to twrp (wiping data)

Sorry I have bothered you people here.

Since I'm maintaining the S5 for s.o. else I had to go back to 14.1 urgently, so I could only quickly test it by re-installing Signal and WhatsApp. But I didn't create any accounts in them, so I'm not sure what this test is worth. Contacts stayed, though, maybe s.o. else can test the issue more thoroughly .

I have tried to activate the "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" on 14.1 as well and tested with two different LTE-capable phone providers, to no avail.

The option is simply not showing up, could it be that even on the kccat6, being an LTE+ phone, VoLTE is not supported, either by the phone/hardware or lineageos 14.1/15.1?

On my LTE-A os 14, I gat LTE services activated... Maybe it is the bands that your providers use. When I try other 4g enabled services in this phone, I do not clock to LTE, they are stuck to H+

Just to clarify... I don't have issues with LTE per se, just with VoLTE to improve phone connectivity.

Thanks, Nick
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] cvxda:
When you open the hidden phone info, there's a menu top right. open it and choose 'IMS Service Info'. It tells you if VoLTE is available. In my case it isn't (needs a contractual change). What does it claim for you?

Corinna
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] cvxda:
15.1 is still not stable enough. RIL problems, disappearing contacts, camera crashes, you name it. There are newly created stability criteria for devices to be allowed to go official and only few devices meet them so far.

Corinna
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] snsnse:
Corinna,

thanks a lot for getting back with me on this. Indeed, IMS Service Info tells me that VoLTE is not available. Curious, since I checked with s.o. who is with the same provider and for him VoLTE worked without any contract changes or option activation. But now I know that 14.1 should support it once I get my phone contract set up properly.

Cheers, Nick
