I'm sorry I did not look at git. I suggested the old kernel version in settings. The G901F is my second phone. That's why I'm not following the development for this device so much. Thank you Corina for the very good development for the G901F. Thank you also for adding support for DriveDroid.

About Support codec. You're right. I checked the codec on stock G901F ( http://i.imgur.com/7EYcNdE.jpg ). And it's just Google VP9. I was confused by wikis ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Qualcomm_Snapdragon_systems-on-chip#Snapdragon_805 ) . Excuse me.

About Share Wi-Fi. In stock system it is possible to change channels. I did not look at the problem in Custom ROM. So you're probably right about this problem. http://i.imgur.com/N5gyJKP.jpg http://i.imgur.com/pFFcdzI.jpg

About USB 3.0 How do you think USB 3 is not supported for what reason? The G901F has a USB 3.0 microUSB port. The stock phone can work in USB 3.0 mode but only as a client. Otg does not work. Qualcomm said that the Snapdragon 805 USB 3.0 support. https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/805

I've flashed the ROM today, and I can say a few things:

!! I cannot link my samsung account, so I cannot backup my files, contacts etc.!!! It only allows to link Google and Gmail accounts, please fix!

Music player is really bad, it doesn't let me save songs to my favorites and doesn't let to access parts of songs and skip them. I tried installing Samsung Music, but it just crashes.

The camera is kinda +-, I've had NovaRom for a while before, and it had a great camera with a lot of settings, I mostly miss Recording mode: Stabilization, becouse it let me record videos with 60FPS and made them look SUPER Smooth.

Where's Xposed Installer?

2 points.

1.As far as I know Xposed is not available for any Nougat rom/phone.

2.Try Google play as a music player. It happens to work well for me with my car's bluetooth. Just a thought. Might solve your problem(s).

Question,

so the normal process is, that after download it will reboot into twrp and update. After flashing the image twrp quit auto and reboot to os.

But since lineage we have a separate root file. Do you see some way to add addonsu-arm-signed.zip to this updateprocedure?

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] andreoide:
Yesterday-evening, i became soooo curious how the rom works on kccat6, i flashed this Rom for the first time to try out, after wipe etc.

Of course i made backup of the existing Rom ( stock+root+Xposed).

Just to let you know: It ran flawless. VERY impressed ! How smooth the installation ran, first boot ,.... all good !

Very nice good job Corrinna, my respect for your work.

Sadly if forgot the password for my Google account, so i skipped that part lol.

As it was just for testing the ROM i restored my stockRom after playing around for like 2 hours.

I did not ran into any problems whatsoever as far as i could see.

I used the BL from latest PHN fw.

I have to make serious backups of all data from apps wich i use because i use Phone for my work too.

I think someday sooner or later ill go to this Rom for daily use, from what i saw it will suit perfect as daily driver since i do not play games or any super-power-consumptioning apps.

Until than i'll just flash the rom once in a while or use TWRP backup from Lineage to expiriment with it until i'm ready to let go the stock samsung-rom.

I am just a simple end_user of all the hard work of developers, and i have knowledge how to flash etc after reading XDA for many years. I do not know how-to program etc.

Question 1:

In TWRP 3.1.0.2: settings: Use rm -rf instead of formatting

When wiping existing (stock) to install Lineaga after wipe, this setting can be ON ? Or does it really need to be formatted?

Same question for when returning to Stock with backup from TWRP.

Question 2:

If i backup the whatsapp folder, and place it back in Lineage... than install the app Whatsapp should recognize the existing folder.

I did not try it on kccat6 but for fun i flashed the Lineage official for S2 i900 somewhere else in this forum, and while doing so with Whatsapp it said: Cannot restore whatsapp conversations or something like that.

Anyone know how Lineage takes Whatsapp coming from stock MM to Lineage?

I could not try out last night because i forgot to backup the existing folder to SD-card

I looked into this issue and found that USB3.0 is already supported. The problem is that it's not activated by default, because Samsung added some kind of switch to the kernel code. What happens is that the device, when plugged in, always starts in USB2.0 mode. However, the kernel recognizes if the USB port it's connected to is a USB2 or USB3 port. As root:

# cat /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/ss_host_available

This returns 1 if the host port supports USB3.0, 0 otherwise. If it returns 1, you can then check if USB3.0 mode is activated:

# cat /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/usb30en
0

So we're in the default USB2.0 mode. Switch to USB3.0:

# echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/usb30en

At this point, the device is disconnected from the host and reconnected in USB3.0 mode. If you were running adb ... oops. For some reason you won't be able to reconnect via adb in USB3.0 mode.

As soon as you disconnect the device physically and then reconnect, you're back in USB2.0 mode (and adb will work again, too, flaky as it is in Nougat).

Having said that, I wonder why Samsung did this. Our problem here is obviously that we don't have a GUI to switch between USB2.0 and 3.0. Hmm...

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] cvxda:
I didn't write that. There's only one camera but it's called Camera2. In the GUI it's just "Camera". The picture I added to show how the two camera apps available differ in terms of the icon.

Can someone educate me please, when i update to the newest ROM i always need to use Odin to re root the phone, then that alters my recovery to another one that isn't cwm or twrp so i have to reinstall that using Odin.

I've tried flashing the add-on zip after the ROM and GAPPS but that doesn't work, what am i doing wrong?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] cvxda:
I suggest to backup twice. There's never a backup too many. Backup the entire system with TWRP. Additionally, backup all apps and data you need with Titanium Backup. It will safe your day on more than one occassion to have both kinds of backup.

Both methods should work. There's usually no reason to use rm -rf. Just use the default factory wipe and you should be good to go.

Use Titanium Backup to backup your apps. Backup to external SD. AFter the switch, restore whatsapp, app & data, and you should be fine. I did the same with Signal twice and it still works :)

Corinna
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] cvxda:
For testing I disabled the Samsung-specific kernel code which always defaults to USB2.0. It works fine. If you connect the device to an USB3.0 port, it defaults to USB3.0 now, which is most of the time what you want.

However, as a result adb doesn't work at all anymore when connected to a USB3 port. Somehow this isn't quite what we want, I think...

Edit: ADB has code to recognize USB3.0 devices. I don't see why it doesn't recognize the S5, though.

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] KiprasLT:
Ikr? But why would I have it if its worse? I think im moving to BykoOS, cya
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] andreoide:
Aw come on! All the issues you talk about are known and if you search the thread here I think many solutions are given also.

About the Samsung account I do not know but you could singronize to Google and from there import them in this beautiful Rom.

The language keyboard thing I think can be resolved too by downloading a kb in your language I think.

And yes... reading before posting here does help.

Than there is this thing with the OS u want to go back to. It is not supported any more I think.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Stamgastje:
Why do you even use this ROM if you think it's all bad?!

No, this isn't a Samsung ROM. Instead, it's much closer to vanilla Android, but with many neat features on top. There is an (often better) alternative for nearly every feature in a stock Samsung ROM. And it's also much faster and better maintained than the stock ROM provided by Samsung. Then again, it's of course a matter of taste/preference. But if you don't like it, then just stay away please instead of posting such rants that are really not showing any appreciation for all the hard work that [MENTION=3419717]cvxda[/MENTION] and the other devs have done to create this ROM. Not to mention that it's all voluntary (unpaid!) work...
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ArcticTiger:
some bugs report

Thank you for this good work.

I have some problems with SM-G906S (Galaxy S5 LTE-A Korean SKT)

1. H.265(HEVC) codec is missing

MX Player shows H.265 videos are software accelerated. Samsung stock rom supports H.265 hw acceleration.

Snapdragon 805 supports H.265 4K and VP9 hw acceleration.

2. Display brightness on notification is low

On notification like twitter and push messages, display brightness is set to lowest so i have to turn off screen and on to get correct brightness level.

3. Sudden reboot

Sometimes it suddenly reboots. I don't know why. Most well repeated situation is VLC Player with H.265 video. I don't know. It can be caused by my device's malconfiguration.

4. Weaker signal?

Maybe it is problem of SKT specific settings. Making this compatible for all service providers (SKT, LG, KT) will be hard but I have some expectations.

Or I will investigate how to manually configure mobile networks.

* Configuration Example (Current)

Default Network

LTE (*it was 3G?)

APN

NAME : SKT LTE INTERNET

APN : lte.sktelecom.com

Server : *

MMSC : http_//omms.nate.com:9082/oma_mms

MMS Proxy : lteoma.nate.com (* it was smart.nate.com)

MMS Port: 9093

MCC : 450

MNC : 05

APN Type : default,supl,mms,dun,cbs,fota (dun was missing)

APN Protocol : IPv4/IPv6

APN Roaming Protocol : IPv4/IPv6
​

I don't know what is correct but i found this config on korean internet.

Now signal is strong but I have no idea this config worked. I also repeatedly tried to register SKT Network (USIM). Default was SKT Network so maybe I can say this config worked.

* When wifi active, signal became weaken. This config doesn't work.

5. Slow charging?

It looks charging current is only 1000mA? SM-G906S stock charger supports 5.3V 2000mA

Empty battery issues

It is quite amazing that nobody has run into the same issue I run into every time the phone discharges (on 2 identical phones).

It fails to boot up (shuts down while on Lineage logo spinner), have to remove the battery for another boot attempt sometimes up to 4 times before it goes again.

Happens only when battery next to empty. Probably some battery state issue that only I managed to get into, but really really annoying.

Any ideas anyone?

encryption?

hi,

apologies if I'm not posting correctly, this is the first time I've used the forum.

I happily got TWRP and Lineage installed on my G901F but then tried to turn on encryption and it just causes a bootloop.

I've tried it repeatedly (i.e. I wiped everything and reflashed etc.)

I see a lot of other posts about it, so may try CM13 instead but thought I should consult forum first. I did a search on this thread for encryption but didn't see any reference.

Grateful for advice
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] satcom886:
If you really want to use Samsung account, you have to use TouchWiz (stock rom). This is not the builders fault, it is caused compleatly by Samsung.

If you want a better music app, use Google Play Music. It is way better, then the stock one.

We can all agree, that the camera is a little sketchy right now. It crashes when playing arround with HDR and/or flash. But all of that is listed under "known bugs" section of the OP. I use Google Camera and Open Camera. Both are great (or at least better than stock camera2).

If you are not aware of that, there is no Xposed available for 7.x right now. This is not [MENTION=3419717]cvxda[/MENTION] fault

Encryption possible?

I've now tried both Lineage and CM13

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-galaxy-s5-t3281502/

Neither of them allow the phone to be encrypted. Lineage gets stuck in a bootloop when it's switched on. CM13 just restarts without encrypting anything.

Anyone know what the problem or solution is?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] stanley.tweedle:
In fact, I have the same problem. Though it's not battery dependent, but nearly everytime I switch the phone off (I use to switch off my phone for the night).

It used to be this way: The phone starts booting, the logo spinner appears for a while, then the phone switches off and doesn't respond to the power switch any more. I had to remove the battery and try again several times, or boot to recovery and delete cache to make the phone boot immediately.

From the last Build (04-19), the behaviour changed. The phone boots, and from the logo spinner reboots on his own, sometimes one time, sometimes several times, but always boots up successfully in the end.

I guess most people just don't switch off their phones or let their batteries get too empty :D
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] girtsn:
thanks for the update, at least I know its not just me! will try latest build, reboot until it works is better then having to remove the battery for multiple attempts :)

wondering what change caused the behavior difference, looking at changelog nothing jumps out right away

reboot makes sense to me, was already assuming it is trying to try to do a shutdown/reboot when it vibrates and goes non-responsive, as there was a similar issue before with the actual reboot functionality

i hope it is never permanent as otherwise this becomes a proper bootloop

ROM as unstable as that of LineageOS, the SIM card is not detected and there are very many reboot random ... Damage Resurrection Remix is ​​an exellent ROM usually. Hopefully these bugs are solved and in the meantime I download the latest firmware from Samsung hoping that the problem came from there.

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

I am on a Galaxy S5 Plus LTE (SM-G901F) Kccat6,

I have just clean flash (Wipe System, Data Wipe, Cache, Davlik) LineageOS 14.1 (nightly 2017-04-19 11:03:01) since CyanogenMod 13 and I have 2 huge problems:

-The SIM card is not detected when it was very well before

-I have huge random Reboot every 20 seconds or so ...

So either the problem comes from the ROM (strongly possible because I am not the only one in this case) or it comes from me because I may not be the latest Samsung firmware but it is very problematic because CyanogenMod 13 starts to get old!

By hoping for an answer, thank you and Hi ^^

As a side issue the instructions show "boot.img" highlighted in the picture,8files in all,but this is not correct.Make a .tar file using the 7 files as per the description.When flashing in Odin,use the CP box.I'm pretty sure the CP box is correct.I'd tried a few by the time I got to this point!I also made the .tar filename G901F-CPJ1.tar same as the OP picture but not sure this makes any difference.HTH.

Do you already have lineage installed? If so, then you can probably do a dirty flash, wipe cache/dalvik and reboot depending on which version you're coming from.
