[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] bege10:
I just updated LineageOS for microG 2021-01-12 (probably built from LineageOS 2021-01-07) and root does not work any more. I don't have Magisk but addon-su.

Root options only show ADB and deactivate, not Apps. Apps can't execute actions that need root permission.

Another issue since the bootloop issue has been solved:

The battery charge display is weird. The charge drops rather fast when the display is on. As long as the display is off it is OK. (I tested another battery also.) After half a day it is down to e.g. 20%. When I charge after a short time it is up to 50 and it doesn't take an hour to be back at 100%, so I guess it has not been drained as much as displayed.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] SenseSei:
Afaik addon-su support has been dropped from Lineage in general.

The only root solution atm is Magisk.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Z00nkor:
...and Magisk is also way better than addon-su (imho).

Battery drain was never really great for me with LOS but I guess there is something wrong with the Display ON battery drain?! Do you have Live Display running/turned on? Does the battery usage (Settings >> Battery >> Battery usage) shows anything weird?

How much time would it normally take to charge the battery to 100%? Mine is currently charging at 64% and it does tell me that it needs ~59mins to reach 100% but I'm charging with an old 0.7A charger and I use the device to listen to some background music at the moment. Let me know if you want me to test some things regarding battery drain...
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] bege10:
This is for versions from 17 on. Addon-su is still available for 14 to 16 - unless you have some brand new information.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] bege10:
Battery charge was until the bootloop issue in fall enough for a normal day. Now I often have to charge during the day.

I don't see any setting to disable Live Display, only several settings in a separate menu. The last one - reduce battery drain - is activated, also to enhance brightness at very bright light outside (which has no effect at this time of the year). I did not change these settings for a long time.

Battery usage doesn't show anything strange.

With a 1A charger it used to take 1 1/2 - 2 hours from 20%-100%.

As said, with display off the drain is as low as before - often as low as less than 1% per hour. If I use the phone for about 2 hours for e-Mail, SMS and Internet it can go down for ~40%-60%.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] bege10:
Well, currently I struggle for weeks to get a Fairphone 3 to run with Magisk - it does not reboot with Magisk installed. Addon-su was enough for me and had far less things that could not work.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Z00nkor:
Never had any problems with magisk but I guess it's different from phone to phone and it also depends on the installed ROM.

Maybe you should wipe everything and start from the scratch with a fresh install of los4microg and see if that fixes the Display ON drain...

Btw, when you say less than 1% per hour do you have mobile or Wifi connection turned on? I think my S5 Plus drains way more battery than yours with the screen turned off... My ON Screen times are also pretty bad.

I don't know if my battery is faulty but I just changed the charger to a 5v 2A one (original Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging) and now my battery is at 84% and it needs 1.5hours to fully charge (from 84 to 100%!!!). Pretty weird!! Maybe my battery was never really full because of a wrong/faulty charger...

Any idea what would be a good test for our devices so we can could compare the battery drain results?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] bege10:
Yes, that's what I will do. But as long as I am struggling with setting up the Fairphone 3 I need that phone for daily use.

I turn data connection on only if I need it, that may make the difference to your experience.

The Galaxy S5 Plus is not for Fast Charging, 1A has the stock charger for this phone. I also noticed that 2A charges even slower than 1A. That may give your battery the last strike.

Well, I think I must try with a fresh install and you with a new battery.

:cool:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Z00nkor:
I know but I wanted to try a different charger. With the 5V 2A fast adaptive charger my battery stops charging at 88%, so I guess my battery is too old or faulty. I do have a rather fresh backup Battery (~1 year old) , so I will try this one tomorrow. Btw my S5 Plus stock charger has 5.3V 2A for some reason...

There should be no problem with charging my battery with the 5V 0.7A charger (original Samsung) right?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] bege10:
I think so, it will just take (perhaps significantly) longer to charge. Additionally I noticed that a long USB cable reduces the current and increases the time to charge significantly.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] maanteel:
Is anybody here using the external microSDcard as adoptable storage with the Android functionality?

How is updating Rom going, e.g. OTA? Are some important steps to follow?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] kurtn:
I can only report from other devices. Adopted storage is no good idea. OTA updating is fine. If it fails, it's a problem of wrong recovery, addons or encryption.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] maanteel:
Yes, update failed with the adoptable storage.

Maybe my mistake was not to use the OTA update.

I wiped in TWRP 3.4.0 as usually System, Dalvik cache and Cache.

Then flashed Rom, opengaaps and magisk.

Then restart into system, but the phone does not reached the boot animation. It just stuck at the initial Samsung Galaxy S5 screen.

I was able to reboot into recovery and found the error "unable to mount storage".

In TWRP restoring System, Data , Internal Storage, Caches didn't brought up a booting system.

After many wipes and a factory wipe at least the "mount" error disappeared. Again just flashing Rom, but still no success booting into system.

-------

Edit :cool: 29.01.2021

With TWRP I had no success - why not going back to stock?

With a 4-parts Firmware and Odin.

Install TWRP (with Odin AP and TWRP tar file) ,

back to LineageOS and adoptable storage and then update with OTA.

Just to note:

Using Frija for downloading latest 4-parts firmware (Enable Settings - Binary Nature).

Then Odin3 v3.12 for flasing all 4 parts BL, AP CP and CSC.

Rebooting to original Samsung 6.0.1 - it's so funny :D

:)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] maanteel:
Hi ripee :) unfortunately the 3.4.0 files aren't available anymore, I see the on your google drive the 3.5 versions, but without our kccat6.

I would like to have the 3.4 kccat6.tar version, because I need the tar for initial Odin flashing.

Thank you!

@Marvin732 what are the advantages to TWRP ?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Marvin732:
App manager and Magisk Manager, support for customization, OTA custom mode to patch the rom everytime when you flash the rom, like Disable DM- verity, disable forced encryption and for other devices for an example aggressive stock recovery deactivation

sadly LOS 16.0 for the kccat6 wasnt as good as the LOS 15.1 build. Battery drain became a big issue when i used to have my s5+ as my main phone. switched 2 years to a xiaomi phone.

Although I mentioned 17.1 in the last year, I'm busy with work in fighting the pandemic :P For now I am willing to run 16.0 builds for kccat6 and lentislte with future security updates, if you guys want, but they would not be signed by Lineage so you would have to clean flash them.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] argonaut459:
I'd be fine with that.

Having hit hard by pandemic myself and rest of family (all working health sector) , I understand too well what hassle it is.

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] maanteel:
Funny, with Firefox in portrait mode no View attachment 5267581, but in landscape its there :D.

I have a question regarding the I "would have to clean flash". I assume the first flash has to be clean

(A clean install means: clean the /system, /data (incl. dalvik cache) and /cache partitions, and then install the ROM) ,

the following updates could be flashed dirty.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ripee:
To dirty flash, you would normally only need to wipe /system before flashing the rom zip, optionally magisk, and any gapps package, then you would wipe /cache and /dalvik afterwards, before rebooting back into system.

To clean flash, wipe /data in addition to /system, then do the same as for dirty flashing after you finish flashing all the zips.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] heian12:
I got LineageOS 16.0 (11 Feb 2021) on my phone. This will be the last update for the SM-G901F, right?

There might come a 17.0 or 18.0, but we have to wait for it. Hope there will be an announcement here, when there is made some progress on it.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] argonaut459:
Indeed. In landscape mode it is there.

Now only to replace the screen and usb port on the kccat6 and lineageos is ready to bring it to live again.

Someone has any idea how to do that? Especially the usb port - as I don't have that as a spare part. :/

@argonaut459 have a look to e.g. ebay (search for "samsung galaxy s5 usb port") for the spare part ,

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] maanteel:
I am wondering why both new builds from ripee "stuck" in the boot animation ?

In TWRP-3.5.2_9-0-kccat6:

I wiped /system, /data, /cache and /dalvik,

then flashed Build 0401 (same with Build 0413),

then rebooting into system.

Then it seems to be a loop in the boot animation.

I download the zips again

When I clean flash again the latest lineage-16.0-20210211-nightly-kccat6-signed , LineageOS starts.

I am a bit lost now.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ripee:
This may not matter, but do the factory reset in TWRP as an additional step. This is the first screen you see after you tap Wipe on the main screen.

Also, wipe cache and dalvik after you finish flashing all the zips.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] maanteel:
I did it again :D

Spoiler content hidden.

booting into TWRP

1. Swiped for Factory Reset (which is wiping data without wiping /data/media...)

2. Advance Wipe: Dalvic/ART Cache, System, Data, Cache

3. Install only Build 0401 (no gaaps, no magisk) - Install ZIP Successful

4. Wiped Cache/Dalvik

5. Reboot System

also switched step 1+2

no luck :/
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ripee:
No idea, I used the official sources. The only change I made to the kernel is a minor build error fix that has no effect on the finished build.

Edit: Can you extract the boot.img file from the signed build and flash it after you flash my 0413 build, then wipe cache and dalvik.

Edit 2: I ran new builds today, 0414. Perhaps you will have better luck with these?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] andreoide:
No more official release kccat6

@cvxda and all others contributing during the lineageos'es she has build and maintained for so long time.

I want to thank cvxda for all effort she has put in this huge project, I have been with it from the beginning, and here we are at the end of it.

It was a hell if a ride and a joy to be participating all the way. I enjoyed everything.

Since the kccat6 is no longer my daily driver, I doubt if I myself will participate in this development going unofficially right now, though I have high respects for those who do, keeping the beloved S5+ alive!

Cheers to cvxda, somebody who earned my respect all the way. I hope she is well and okay in this days of depression and covid.

@cvxda , thank you very much for the years of effort in development of our daily drivers :)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] maanteel:
@ripee - Finally your idea flashing cvxda's boot.img led to success ! :)

I flashed Build 0414 and then boot.img , wipe dalvicx/cache , reboot to system.

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ripee:
This makes no sense since the only change I made was to get it to build in the first place, nothing else!

I assume you tried flashing 0414 by itself?

Edit: I'll try building a kernel without this little change, maybe it's no longer needed? @maanteel which variant do you flash, kccat6 or lentislte?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] maanteel:
Yes, I tried to flash only 0414 alone, no success. Also I tried to flash /e/ with no success. Always stuck in the animation loop.

I have an kccat6.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ripee:
Ok I'll try making a kccat6 boot.img from 100% official sources. But with this information, I'm afraid that the fault may be on your side. It seems that your phone is set up to accept builds signed with Lineage's release keys, which shouldn't be a problem when clean flashing (one of the reasons you need to clean flash when switching to official builds). But in your case, I have no idea.

I hope my builds work for other people :p

Edit: actually, nevermind. I ran new builds today, 0415, with the compilation error fix moved to another file in the kernel, which does build and boots in another device in which I used this fix.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] maanteel:
Unfortunately the clean flash of build 0415 does not boot into system. I flashed official cvxda boot.img additional, kccat6 booted into system.

I clean flashed /e/ again, no boot into system. I flashed boot.img , restart /e/ boots into system.

official Boot.img is the key :/

I solved my last issue (https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-officia...e-g901f-lte-a-g906s-k-l.3534283/post-84323077) when I installed stock rom again. I think it has something to do with the adoptable storage. But I removed that sdcard before I tried to clean flash the first time your unofficial.

Maybe I give it a try with install stock :unsure: and then again unofficial.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ripee:
Yes, that is another possible solution. A very inconvenient process but my builds should work if you flash them on top of stock.
