For those having the same issue as me, i think i have solved my problem.

Turns out my device still had the BOK2 (lollipop) bootloader/modem.

After updating, no boot loops yet and best basemark scores yet

I am guessing you mean: "Has the

problem been fixed with the device turned off?"

No indication of it being solved to my knowledge. Workaround remains booting to recovery and shutdown from there.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] guze616:
will this work with the SM-G900F?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ovidiuionut:
No.

This is what you need.

Be sure your device is the KLTE model and flash the latest TWRP, bootloader and modem available for your phone before you flash LineageOS.

You can find more info here.

Hi there, running this rom since the beginning and updating regularly. I saw that call recording is enabled for some countries. I live in the Netherlands, but i see that call recording isn't available yet on this rom. Before i had the s5+ I had a klte version of the s5 and with the latest rom on that phone, which was also lineage 16, call recording already was enabled. So i guess the code for call recording in the Netherlands is already available.

The question is if thee programmer of this rom would be so kind to enable call recording for the Netherlands.

Thx in advance. It would be great to be able to record my calls. Thank you.

Question. Features microsd when installing applications.

Hello, please forgive me if doublepost. I could not find what I needed in the branch.

====

My device: Samsung galaxy s5 duos; (sm-g900fd, klteduos)

(16gb internal memory)

My operating system: Lineage 16 OS (android 9)

My market: gaps ARM 9.0 Pico

Custom recovery: TWRP 3.3.1.0

Memory card is SanDisk micro sdXC 128gb.

Broken into two primary sections for Link2SD links

1) ExFAT 84gb

2) ext2 35gb

I’m trying to solve the problem of installing applications from Google using the exFat section for installation.

At the moment, the installation is performed according to the following algorithm:

1) DOWNLOAD (internal storage)! ->

2) Checking the storage volume, if ok to download the APK + cache then ->

3) DOWNLOAD! when the download is 100% ->

4) [Rechecking the storage volume, if ok] ->

5) Install! (then I’ll send all sorts of them, or auto-link via Link2SD and so on).

As I understand it, the calculation of the required space is done twice.

Before downloading and before installing, which means - to install an application of size 2.2GB I need 4.4GB of space.

Unfortunately, the internal memory is occupied by other applications.

The operating system sees the contents of the partition perfectly, but does not recognize it as internal memory.

Is there a way to properly mount the first section of the card without disconnecting the second, without formatting?

Or what do I need to solve the problem?

Thank you!

Bootloop and insanity

SM-G901F (kccat6)

Does anyone have any idea what causes the bootloop to happen?

Rom + opengapps micro + magisk 20.1 installs fine, set up the phone, update playstore apps if there are any.

Then after a random interval, when i decide to reboot the device it goes into a bootloop. I get the initial samsung logo, then the screen goes black, vibrate then back to samsung screen.

I cant seem to narrow down the cause of this. I can say that lineage 14.1 is rock solid, but i would love to rather be on lineage 16.

I have tried various opengapps, mindthegapps, with and without magisk
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] gravit0n_:
LiveDisplay bootloop!

For me LiveDisplay causes a bootloop, steps to reproduce it:

- Fresh lineage-16.0-20191211-nightly-kccat6-signed.zip install, no gapps, last modem firmware ('perfect' clean install)

- Adjust Color profile (LiveDisplay settings) to for example Natural

- Reboot

Like you say, after the bootloader (Samsung logo) it vibrates one time and then reboots. I would not recommend to use the latest 16.0 build, but I don't know from what build this behavior starts.

Also other bugs that are still present (from LineageOS 15.1):

- Flashlight hangs when you use the Camera app with flash, restart of phone needed to turn off flashlight

- Using headphones and then disconnecting headphones causes the microphone to stop working in phone calls, reboot needed

- Microphone not working (or very low) in WhatsApp/VoIP calls or speaker mode (which is a problem for many S5 models). When trying to use one of the fixes that worked for 15.1, instead I get a bootloop in 16.0

Been using cvxda's LineageOS ROMs as daily driver and I'm really happy about the speed, stability & battery life. At some point the "No SIM" bug got a workaround fix and personally I would rather see the other bugs fixed before jumping to a newer Android. I would gladly donate an amount of money if cvxda or somebody else could look into the bugs above :fingers-crossed: Anyway, thanks for giving support to this amazing device, I hope I can keep using it for years to come!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Marvin732:
I have that problem too with booting back to TWRP, I took a different version and then it works, also the battery drain when phone is off still is there and when it is on it drains quick too, I hate the stock ROM because it's still android 6.0.1 which is why lineage os is always my go to but sadly it drains alot. I ended up changing to a different phone but I still have my g901f.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] cpsycrow:
Thanks :) but wait.. there's more...

Thanks so much for the reply. You have at least given me something to try, if i know my myself i would have enabled live-display at some point it would then make sense that the next reboot would be borked due to that bug.

Off topic: I don't suppose you know of a

stock or close to stock Samsung (MM) ROM that can be flashed in a custom recovery

. I have tried a couple in the XDAthreads and the most promising one wont even flash as it says my device name/id = ' ' when its expecting kccat6. It would just be nice to have a backup which is less painful than doing the whole Odin thing and losing the custom recovery and root etc.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] makingbacon:
Hello guys,

Do you have some problems with battery life, when the phone is off ? (Ex : this night, turned off, it went from 82% to 23%)

My S5+ drain more battery when i turn it off than when it's turned on !

There was no such problem with the stock rom.

Some ideas to remedy this ?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] rollinrollinrollin:

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] andreoide:

As we can not expect you to read the whole forum, we can ask you to do a search.

You will find out the issue you ran into is spoken over many times in this forum.

My suggestion is you do a search here in term:

BATTERY DRAIN and surprise yourself what it comes up with.

BTW: no solution know yet, just workarounds...

Peace :cowboy:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] makingbacon:
Hellooo,

Ok, i did the search :laugh:

Shutting down the phone by the custom recovery seems like the only solution. ( i'll try it. )

The problem is already reported for around 8 months, so i guess we have to wait for a fix.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] bege10:
I don't expect a fix. The maintainer did not react on a bug report and posted here months ago that it is difficult to examine a bug with a phone switched off :laugh:

So, yes, switch off the phone from recovery is the only solution to switch it off besides removing the battery.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] BhNeP:
Same here. Tried December 6th and now 27th ROMs, and both go into a loop after rebooting for the first time after initialisation. Tried different gapps packages and with and without Magisk. Unfortunately no bootlogs got recorded.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] cpsycrow:
Make sure that livedisplay/nightlight stays completely disabled. that seems to be the main culprit of the bootloop
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] BhNeP:
Thanks for the tip, but I'm going to have to find another ROM to use as a daily driver as I'm handing down my old S5 to my mother in law so the ROM has to be as stable as possible because I won't have constant hands on access to the phone in case of borks.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] HuKu52:
Is there any custom kernel for LOS 16 and kccat6?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] cpsycrow:
Not to my knowledge. I believe (from my findings anyway) that the last working custom kernel was the smartpack kernel v7 which only worked on the 2017 build of RR-N-5.85. Using this kernel in either a 2018 build of LOS 14.1 or RR5.85 resulted in the Wifi adapter not working.

Im running 2017 RR5.85 currently for the custom kernel. but other than having "fast charge" and being able to disable fsync, there isnt much of a difference
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] HuKu52:
I use this kernel with MK71.2-kccat6-171215-RELEASE.zip bc of voltage control. Benchmark results and battery life are much better than with LOS 16 or MK90 nightly. Thanks for your reply.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] cpsycrow:
How is MK compared to RR nougat? I have never tried it before.

I keep rom switching from LOS14.1 --> RR-5.85 --> LOS 16 ---> RR-7.02. There is always something that ends up making me switch and cycle through each rom. In terms of performance and stability though, LOS14.1 is hands-down the best, but i miss the customisation and can never stick with it.

I would also love to find a close to stock deodexed marshmellow rom that we can just flash in TWRP instead of having to use odin and official firmware/rom. The biggest issue for me is i have a 64gb SD card which i use as internal/adapted storage which samsung doesnt officially support on their kcccat6 MM rom. The adb trick works but it goes wonky and thinks you have run out of storage when you haven't.

I've tried a few custom stock MM roms that i have found on XDA , but Ive had to mod the updater script before flashing the rom and then it still doesnt end up booting after flash.

3.3.1.-0 is the latest TWRP for kccat6, but it could not be installed from the phone (ended in download mode, phone was not bootable any more), only with ODIN. That may be the reason why they removed it from their site.

So...the official teamwin removes the 3310 version for obvious reasons, and now you (bege10) risk other people brick their phone by publishing the file here. Not cool, I advice everyone with common sence to stick to the official published twrp from http://twrp.me to avoid bricked phones.

There is not any advantage to download unofficial not controlled version(s) from anybody.

I had this issue yesterday aswell. What was causing the problem for me was using the latest version of opengapps (24 Jan). I tried again but this time using the 17th of Jan opengapps pico and everything was fine thereafter.

yeah sorry i must have misunderstood OPs original question. There is not lineage17 for kccat6.

That being said:

- I still believe 7.1.2 based is still the best for our devices.

- I've gone back and forth so many times and pie based roms just feel so sluggish when using the phone for day to day tasks

compared to nougat

[removed initial part of the post since replying by accident to an old post]

With builds from January (kccat6 20200118 and 20200129 tested so far on), I have issues loosing at some random point permanently mobile network connection. Going to flight mode (also for a while) and back does not help. Searching manually for network will state that no network is available. Only way to get again mobile network connection is reboot of the phone. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] bege10:
I have this issue also with older builds if I am in a radio dead zone for a while, especially if that goes on of off several times. Then - if radio is back - only waiting for a long time or rebooting helps.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] js-xda:
Well, I have observed before what you describe related to radio dead zones. But waiting quite a while or switching to flight mode and back had helped so far.

With the mentioned builds, I have ran three times within less than one week into a situation that was only possible to resolve by rebooting. That is why I am wondering. At least in two of the cases, I can relate for sure to a radio dead zone.

Hey guys.

Could you recommend a stable LineageOS version for my S5 plus for daily usage? I would like to install MicroG only and stay away from google as much as I can.

Should I stick to one of the Builds from here? https://download.lineage.microg.org/kccat6/
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Z00nkor:
So after reading for a couple of hours I think that I will need to use LineageOS 14.1 (maybe the MicroG build) or RR 5.8.5.

I would love to try the latest builds based on 16.0 but it seems that there are some problems which are kinda bad when using the device as a daily driver.

My current stock ROM is: MMB29M.G901FXXU1CQJ1 and the Modem Code is: G901FXXU1CQC1. Do I need to upgrade to the latest DBT ROM in order to 14.1 and upwards?

Any advice is welcome, thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ovidiuionut:
If you are currently on marshmallow your modem and bootloader should be fine for 14.1. You need to upgrade to the latest ones available to use LOS 16.

I've used LOS 14.1 for more than a year and I'm on LOS 16 ever since it was released.

From my experience neither is perfect but the they both are stable enough to use as a daily driver. They both gave me the same kind of annoyances.

On LOS 14.1 the most annoying problem I faced was that, occasionally, after a call was connected no sound was produced by the headset. The other person could hear me just fine but I couldn't hear them. This happened over bluetooth too. The solution was to restart the phone and it would work OK for about three days or so ...

Another issue was that the inbuilt camera app was pretty much unusable.

Third party camera apps work fine but some times they have trouble focusing the image (at least the ones I tried).

In LOS 16, occasionally, it does a soft restart when I initiate a call or answer a call. This happens about once or twice a week, but at least it saves me the trouble of doing a full restart by myself.

The camera issues are still present so there's no change here.

Third party camera apps work a bit more reliable.

The phone app doesn't store your favorite contacts for long. They just disappear after a while.

Also in the phone app I don't have the option to enable call recording even though I live in a country where this is perfectly legal and the settings in the OS itself (AFAIK) are set for this feature to be enabled.

LOS 16 is a bit sluggish compared to 14.1 (I can live with it), but it's nothing compared to stock.

In LOS 16 you get much better sound quality and higher volume al the way around: in call, on speaker and over bluetooth. You have a lot more bluetooth codecs supported including SBC-HD wich is great.

For me, the overall experience is better with LOS 16.

I think making a decision and sticking with it is not a good idea in this case. You could try them each for a while and decide after that, depending on your use scenario.

And you should check if LOS 14.1 is still maintained, (at least with security patches).

LOS16 vs RR7

Hello,

I'm on LOS 15.1 quite a while, and I can con firm the above mentioned issues.

I always wanted to know, what the difference between "LOS 16" and "Unofficial Resurrection Remix ROM for Samsung S5 LTE+ (G901F) (kccat6)" is?

Could anyone give me a short overview? The latter is unofficial, does it automatically mean more bugs or more to test in the future?

Thanks for the informations!

I ended up with lineage-14.1-20180615-microG-kccat6 (did a clean flash with format Data + Wipe) and it's currently working fine. I've installed magisk (flashed together with the build) and installed xposed. So far everyhting seems to work for my use case. I haven't touched the bootloader and modem part as I figured out that my current one should work fine with 14.1. I couldn't manage to pass the SafteyNet check (without xposed) but that's fine for me...

The security Patch level is 5. June 2018 but as far know security patches are sill maintained for 14.1 (https://github.com/LineageOS/android_build/tree/cm-14.1). The question is if the dev for kccat6 (@cvxda) is still implementing those patches and provides a up to date build of 14.1. I would love to install a official 14.1 build of cvxda and do the microG part myself but I couldn't find a up to date 14.1 build for my device. Thats why I ended up flashing the microG build as it containts the same Security patch level as the latest official build (of cvdxa).

Btw, big thanks to cvxda for keeping our devices alive!!! :)

Find out all you want to know......

Its like you say, more customisations and menus. All work great, but I got back to this ROM because I got a little lost in all menus and settings.

But I'm sure if you like a high customisation able phone, its worth trying because you have more personal control in "looks & feel" of your phone.

Only its an unofficial ROM, which means only once in a while updated, but as cvxda explained she will only make updates if nessecary. She uses that ROM herself so it will be good.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Flamedog:
I've got a question about the second post regarding installing the modem/bootloader:

I've got a TAR now with the modem/bootloader files as per the directions, however which option do i use to flash it with Odin? BL, AP or CP? Does it matter? I got one TAR which contains the bootloader and the modem files, so do I use the same flash file on both the BL and CP buttons?

Instructions say:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ovidiuionut:
BL = bootloader

AP = (Android partition) the main operating system file.

CP = modem (baseband).

CSC = (Consumer Software Customization) an extra partition for regional and carrier data.

When I upgraded these I used separate .tar files. I tried using a single file that contained both the bootloader an the baseband, but it wouldn't work so I had to split it.

Still, this could have been an isolated case, I don't know ...
