before I buy ...

Hi guys.

After horrible neverending problems with an LG V20, I am actually considering to go back a generation, and solve my needs with an SM-906S (lentislte) because it has 32GB and a removable battery. And even LOS-15.1 very nice. However, before I buy, a few questions:

How bad is KNOX tripping? What is IYO the best intro to read more about that?

What is CPL1? This https://xdaforums.com/sitesearch.php?q=CPL1 is empty and that https://www.google.com/search?q=CPL1+samsung is inconclusive. That is the very first step in those instructions, and I already don't know what it means. So I am wondering:

Is it very difficult to get TWRP, and then LineageOS onto the G906 ?

(I have experience with the standard klte, the G900 with its 16GB is simply too small now, but I managed to unlock and root, and install LOS. But my recent ordeal, ouch - some of the v20 instructions were patchy, it all cost me a lot of time and trouble, and it's not even fully working yet. Mentioning it, because I don't want to buy the next trap, lol)

Are these instructions trustworthy? https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/lentislte/install

(Just asking because the V20 threads are reading as if not)

Lastly:

How to backup before I start?

This time I want to be cleverer, and dump a complete copy of EVERYTHING on my phone BEFORE I even start unlocking it etc.

Please link me to the what you think best tutorial for fully backing up the G906S via USB.

Thanks a lot!

:cool:

P.S.: Perhaps this is the wrong thread for these questions? And: Which other thread is indispensable for me to read?

Hello ankade,

Installation of LineageOS on these Samsung devices is straight forward and less complicate than for others...

There are several instructions available.

Basically following steps: TWRP Installation (via ODIN), Backup by TWRP, Install Custom ROM.

As far I know, you should have cpl1 on your device as soon you have the latest original Samsung Firmware.

have fun

Can't say anything compared to G900 or v20 but I can say that it is as easy as installing TWRP e. g. on an old Nexus 7 Tilapia and far from the complexity e. g. installing TWRP on an i9100 (Samsung Galaxy S2) - multiple stages and using very specific versions (and obviously not the ones you can find on the TWRP website). As far as I remember, things went pretty much smoothly following the comparable instructions for my model (G901F) https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/kccat6/install.

Hello,

does anyone has problems with wireless charging?

Now, that the 94%-error is gone (also with wireless charging, Samsung EP-PA510), with my equipment it's still buggy to charge wireless while phone is shut down before.

It seems like a boot loop, where the appears and a short charging period, but thena new cycle with kernel notice at the top line once more and so on.

I've tested it and it charges a bit though, but not as in off-mode with the original cable fast charger.

I have latest LOS updates and would like to hear, if someone has the same problems.

After lock screen flashes yellow

All,

Thank you for all your effort in LineageOS. I am using lineageOS for my son's phone (S5 mini) and my wife's phone (S5 plus, G901F). Currently, my wife is experiencing problems with her phone. When the screen is locked and she wants to unlock the screen, the screen sometimes flashes yellow a couple of times, and cannot be unlocked for serveral seconds, which is very annoing, especially in case of a phone call. This is sometimes happening when she restarts the phone, but always after a while.

She noted this problem for the first time, after an upgrade of lineage OS to the 06122018 build. I tried several up- and downgrades (reverting to an older build), but the problem remained. Does anybody have a clue how to solve this problem?

Thanx.

Any update on Lineage OS 16?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] :
I know this has been discussed earlier in the thread but I would recommend bok2 modem on this rom in the UK. I had terrible signal loss issues to start with but everything is fine now. Seems weird that what is really a quite out of date modem would work better than the recent ones but there it is. Thank you for this rom there is very little available for the 901f. This one now has a new lease of life.

I solved the problem by replacing the amoled screen.

Usb 3.0 otg

Hi,

on my phone USB3.0 OTG does not work, USB2.0 works well. I found posts from 2017 in this thread that state the same. Is this still the case or has someone a different experience?

Examples: USB3.0 stick via USB3.0 OTG is not recognized, via USB2.0 OTG it is recognized.

Same for USB3.0 LAN adapter via OTG.

question,

Is the battery loading scheme problem fixed that i read about. looks like the battery percentage drops 3 to 4 % after i disconnect the phone.

If not, could one of you bright souls look into that...

Another question? When i tried to use the camera in my banking app to scan QR code , it wouldn't scan. I tried another dedicated scanning application that did work right away. Does anyone know why this problem occurs and how to fix it ?

thx and cheers,

For unlocking phone.

---------- Post added at 04:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 AM ----------

Strange, it looks like no connection to provider? This "bug" was very common halfway 2018 and sometimes can occur.

In that case I sometimes have no network any more, what I do is:

If a simple normal reboot won't help:

Do this: Boot in TWRP, clear cache, and reboot. Than I have network for calls back again. (T-Mobile Netherlands)

Hi!

I have a screen flicker issue, when turning the display on or off.

It can be fixed when setting the brightness slighter 1 step above the lowest setting.

At first i thought was a problem with the battery, so i got a new one, but that didn't fix it. (I hope it fixes the issue that the phone turns off randomly at low battery)

Is the Auto Brightness feature actually bugged?

For example having Auto Brightness to on and setting the brightness slider to max, doesn't give full brightness. (why is it even possible to adjust brightness in auto mode?)

Full brightness is only achieved by turning auto brightness off and setting the brightness slider to max.

Seems like there are 2 brightness curves?

I'm also not sure if i did install the right rom (kccat6).

My model is G901-F.

On the back cover it reads LTE+ (S5 Plus?).

In my google account overview it shows up as LTE-A.

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] shm0:
Thanks for your answer.

The new battery made a great difference.

The random reboots are fixed and battery life is so much better. It took some charge cycles until the battery percentage indicator worked properly again. ( Stuck on 99% for long time until hitting 100%, after disconnecting the battery indicator jumped down back to 95%)

I wonder if something in the display driving circuit got damaged by the bad battery?

I remember using velis auto brightness with amoled normal profile before. Now I use the amoled bright profile and it still seems quite dark.

Not as bright as it used to be.

I wonder if something in the (kernel) code changed to allow lower brightness settings.

Setting minimum brightness to 20-25% fixes the flicker that occurs when turning the display on.

But there is still a flicker when the display dimms right before the display is about to turning off. To fix that, I have to use a minimum brightness a around 50%.

Someone suggested to run the display on 100% for a month to make the display circuit going properly again.

Hi,

i want to report a small bug (lineage-15.1-20190227-nightly-kccat6):

I added the option to switch airplane mode via the on/off menu and i am not able to disable airplane mode via that menu (the option is grayed out).

Also i have an odin related question:

I consider to flash the newest CRH1 modem & bootloader and have already packed the needed files into a tar as described in the op.

But which button in odins gui is the right one to add this file? Do i need to add the same file twice via the CP and the BL button?

And finally, is there any known firmware that enables fm radio on this device?

TIA

So hoping this 16 rom will be as stable and polished as the 8.1 rom.

Thx for all your efforts and the communication you hold on the ROMs you make.

I dirty flashed two Lineage devices successfully. Just don't forget to update your Google Apps at the same time! If you use Magisk, it has to be reinstalled as well, as far as I could see. It didn't survive the update to Pie for me. Magisk 18.1 works fine for me.

Note: If you update from an official ROM to the unofficial ones I provide for testing, or if you installed my unofficial test ROMs and want to upgrade to the official ones at one point, don't forget that you have to run the migration scripts before!

Corinna
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] snsnse:
Right. But then going through the updater does not seem such a good idea since that will reboot right back into system.

So if I understood correctly, when going from official to official one should also manually boot into recovery and then dirty-flash the ROM along with Pie gapps in order to avoid a clean install?

Thanks again.

You have to. The lineage updater refuses to update to a new major OS version (and for good reason).
