on my a500g, i tried 15.0 and 15.1 using the new twrp but still get the error 7.

also tried installing recovery.img from new twrp using flashify

my understanding is that 15.0 should atleast install and boot on a500g...is the understanding right?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] bubba1601:
It's for the A500FU only (as far as I know)

I can't install

I try install in SM-A500M but show error.

I use TWRP 3.1.0.0 by corsicanu

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

LineageOS 15.1

If you are showing error 7, use this zip if it works.

I had to use Super Kitchen to install it on my SM-A500M, but when I answer the calls there is no sound.

Hi, I'd appreciate a bit of help here.

A500uf never rooted or custom Rom before.

I followed the guide but on installing the latest lineage 14.1 I got a footer error which aborted the installation. I tried the first lineage package linked but that failed with a signature error.

Any clues to help please?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] bubba1601:
This is the way I did it.

PC and 30 minutes needed

You need to make sure firstly you are running the very latest marshmallow firmware and modem.

Check the first post of this thread for the links.

The firmware and modem (if needed) can be flashed using a PC and ODIN.

Download lineage OS 14.1 (link in first post) to root of your internal memory on your A5 (not in any folder)

Download magisk 15.3 to root of your A5 internal memory (not in any folder)

Download open gapps pico arm (link in first post) to root of internal memory if your A5 (not in any folder)

Download TWRP img to a PC

Download ODIN to a PC (link in fist post)

Connect A5 to PC in download mode.

Select TWRP file and flash via ODIN

Reboot into twrp

Wipe system/data/dalvik/cache

Select install and choose the lineage OS 14.1 zip

Select add more zips

Now choose the Magisk zip

Select add more zips, and choose open gapps pico

Now swipe to flash, should take less than 2 minutes.

Once flashed, select wipe dalvik/cache

Swipe to confirm.

Now hit reboot.

Hopefully your A5 now boots into lineage OS 14.1

If this works, you might want to consider updating to lineage 15 (android 8.0 as this is just as good as lineage 14.1, but with a better android version)

You would have to update TWRP to do that though.

Regards.

For those who are unable to flash LOS 15 .This is a simple guide that might help you :

1. Download Assayeed Kitchen/Supper Kitchen and set it up. i would want u set up a clean assayeed.

2. Put los 15rom in PLACE folder ..

3.Extract it

4.There it will say no File_contexts at the end of extraction.Ignore it.

5.after finishing installation...make zip with .dat type...u will find the option on no.7

6.create meta-inf using kitchen stuff and ignore missing file_contexts.

7.Finally u will get a zip containing .dat file and boot img.

8.Flash it with any twrp.I prefer ashyx twrp

Thanks if i helped u anyways..Ask if u face any problem.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] murtaghm:
Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I thought I had it sorted by swapping to CRM, but now I just get stuck in a boot loop when Lineage boots for the first time.

I've got my zips on an external SD card but can't work out how to copy those to internal memory so I can follow your guide.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Mixterix Se7en:
Working very good
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] murtaghm:
After following this to the letter it finally worked, I think the bootloop I had was due to not having the MM bootloader and modem installed.

Thanks again.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] bubba1601:
So what about the other hundreds of nav bar apps in the play store?

That is only one suggestion.

There are many more, all different styles, looks and designs.

Maybe look yourself rather than get others to try to help you and suggest things that you then consider too old?

I was trying to help you, but as you threw that help back in my face, I'll leave it there.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] bubba1601:
Your issue is easily fixed by downloading any nav bar app. There are hundreds available.

You shouldn't be suffering any lag though.

My A5 is very fast on Lineage compared to the many stock ports available.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] letsmakecakes:
Everyone is complaining about A5 Oreo although it wasnt released officially by the dev. This is bad.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] bubba1601:
I totally agree with you.

All LOS 15/15.1 discussion in this and other ROM threads should have been stopped from the beginning.

I'm just as guilty as anyone else and wanted to try that ROM and share my experience with it, good and bad.

I've been using XDA long enough to realize that device developers work on these things in their spare time without official support and all we do is post about how we are waiting for this new ROM or keep bugging the device developers about a new rom update.

we want that latest android version or new release yesterday, and that's not how it's supposed to happen, because that's how the internet has made people who don't have any concept of the work ROM development takes.........

If I'm totally honest I've been running custom ROMs long enough to know that Oreo for the A5 is no where near ready to be used as a daily and those wanting to try it and discuss it should wait at least until a proper thread is opened on it, rather than talk about it everywhere else, causing offence and disrespect to the development teams and maintainers of the thread of another ROM.

I'm not now able to support any further ROM development due to hardware issues with my own A5 and it's now stuck on a stock based android 7.0 custom ROM but im happy to help and advise if anyone asks.

My only request to everyone is to wait for the official thread to open.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] nuz81:
My opinion is that DeadSquirrel01 has officially relesead the LOS 15 and LOS 15.1 rom. The official thread is on lineageosrom.org, because DeadSquirrel01's account on xda it is suspended. Anyone can read the changelog or the releases note on github.

Furthermore, until when someone doesn't open a new thread with the permission of Marco and considered that this thread is labeled as [Discontinued], describe here own experience on installation or use of LOS 15/15.1 rom of DeadSquirrel it's useful for others A500FU owners, it doesn't mean to complain about the developer. Personally I have send some logcat of bugs to the developer and I have not written anything here.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] nuz81:

How to make SIM card work? :confused:
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] bubba1601:
I've never had an issue with any sim (3G or 4G in England)

During set up it usually asks you to "Select APN" and that's the network operator.

In England, there is more that one network operator on each network, so the APN must be set correctly or the sim won't work.

It can be set manually in settings, obviously.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Mixterix Se7en:
Is Simcard Working? jajaj

I made the port rom work in my SM-A500M by installing it in the shape of the old zip installer.

Simcard works using the 88sim script of the rom Resurrection Remix 5.7.3 (Android 6.0.1)

http://www.mediafire.com/folder/m8gzmyn5qbbsm/Galaxy_A5_2015_SM-A500M

As the latest version of twrp 3.2.1.0 did not work on my SM-A500M I copied the recovery mount points 3.0.1.0 (I do not remember if that's the version) to allow me to boot the ROM, but before installing it the ROM must have installed the official ROM 6.0.1 in its latest version to install the recovery of the mediafire link (in my case it worked).

Working perfectly fine on A500FU.

No issues with sound and receive calls works fine.

Can you receive the calls without problems? Can you hear the voice during the incoming calls?

Have you installed any fix?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] rmrbpt:
I'm not currently using it but I did for some time.

The only thing that isn't working correctly is GPS. It kind of finds your location but doesnt follow it so navigation doesnt work correctly.

Other than that it actually works very well.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] bubba1601:
I said it is receiving calls fine.......and yes I can hear people and they can hear me.

I don't know if any step I do is it wrong.

Which open gapps have you installed?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] bubba1601:
This one.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] nuz81:
Thank you.

I have installed again the latest release, but I have no audio in the received calls.

I have installed latest twrp released from Deadsquirrel01 20180210(the version is 3.2.1.-0);

Cleaned cache, dalvik cache, data and system partitions;

Then installed latest release los 15.1 20180210 and pico open gapps;

When rebooted I have configured the smartphone with the latest google backup;

After compelting the restore of all apps, I have installed Magisk, Xposed beta, Greenify and Amplify;

And it's all.

Any idea? I need to perform an hard reset?

Anoter annoying bug is that sometimes lineageos settings crash. Do you have this problem?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] bubba1601:
Xposed.......get rid. Im not using it.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] nuz81:
I performed a full wipe clean but not solved. No audio in incoming call.

On LOS 14.1 I have audio in calls.

Any idea?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] bubba1601:
The only idea I have is that you installed xposed and when I installed xposed on LOS 14.1, I couldn't swipe the screen to answer any calls or if I made a call, no one could hear me...

I'm not sure if the magisk version might effect your install, magisk 16.0 was a problem for me I had to drop back to 15.3.

I also must point out we should not be discussing LOS 15.1 in a LOS 14.1 thread.

I've been told off about that before as its disrespectful to the dev of this thread.

While I'm happy to help, I don't want to get into further trouble with the mods here.

Sorry.

Bugs:

1.Single sim voice calls work but Dual sim has an audio not working bug on both sim.

2. There is a ghost touch bug after ending a received call. Locking and unlocking device fixes this.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] rmrbpt:
I've been trying to build from Deadsquirrel01 sources but I've been getting a lot of errors.

I quit trying to build lineage 15.1 as one of Deadsquirrel01 repos is only for CM14.1.

Right now I'm trying to build CM14.1. If I don't succeed using Deadsquirrel01 repos I'm then going to try with Jplitza.

Deadsquirrel01 has been making some changes to the code regarding gps for example. If I'm able to build I'll try to include them.

I'll then post the ROM with proper credits to both.

EDIT: I think things are working with jplitza repo. Unfortunately I can't use my work device to do the builds so they are being done on a dual core intel with 3gb of ram (10 year old laptop). Let's see if it works. GPS changes were made in the code but I still dont know if it fixes it.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] bubba1601:
This is explained back in the thread, something to do the gapps package.

Search the thread.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Sintere:
I cant find it for some reasons or am I just blind? But the gapps I flashed was nano so should i download and flash the stock? And by doing this will all my downloaded apps be deleted or what?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] bubba1601:
You should try various gapps because some gapps are ok and some are not.

Nano never worked for me.

I used Pico.

I didn't use opengapps either.

I used Mindthegapps.

I don't have my A5 anymore but I have an A3 work phone.

It does not suffer such an issue.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Sintere:
But did it work fine for you? Like you can recieve calls? And if i were to flash a new gapps what should i do? Just flash it? And can you please give me the link for the mindthegapps pico 7.1. Im using a500fu with lineage os 14.1
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] bubba1601:
Of course it worked, if It didn't work do you seriously think I would post here saying it did when it didn't?

I can receive calls in that configuration.

I've tried this in lineage 14.1, lineage 15.0 and lineage 15.1 which was what my A500FU was running.

It's advisable to factory reset in twrp and reflash ROM and gapps, then reboot.

NEVER flash ROM reboot to android then reboot to twrp to flash gapps.

You can find the the link to mind the gapps by doing a Google search.

It's very easy.

If you can't find mind the gapps, try beans gapps.

The point I'm making is open gapps has a known issue with lineage on some devices.

It's a very well known problem and is almost a year since this was discovered.

The workaround is to not use opengapps, or not older versions.

You must use the most up to date version.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Sintere:
So does that mean i have to flash lineage again. Anyway thank you so much for helping.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] bubba1601:
That's what I said.

Factory reset in twrp.

Reflash lineage and the new gapps, then reboot.

If you have a look in other A500 threads, it's mentioned certain open gapps packages simply cause lots of issues, as can things like magisk and xposed.

As you don't mention if you have magisk or xposed, I can only suggest you change the gapps package to something other than open gapps.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Sintere:
Still no luck I downloaded the bean gapps the mini one reflashed the ROM with the gapps and I still cant receive phone calls I don't have any root in my phone
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] rmrbpt:
Are you choosing the default phone app after flashing both the rom a gapps?

Are you using jplitza version? I find it the more stable.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Sintere:
Yes should I change it? And what's is the jplitza ver.? I never heard of it
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] bubba1601:
This is could very easy to resolve as you yourself have ruled out a gapps issue by flashing different gapps.

So it's not a gapps issue, l assume now it's the settings on your device.

My A5 has NEVER not received any calls (only when I once flashed the bad gapps)

So let's look at your device settings.

Goto Phone settings.

Select Apps

Press the three dot overflow menu and select Default apps

Make sure "phone" is selected here.

Nothing else.

Also I'm wondering how you notification is handling a new call?

You must enable all notifications in the "phone" app.

If you don't, you won't get notified of any calls, and hence won't be able to receive any calls.

I'm running Lineage 15.1 on my A5 (android 8.1) and therefore my help is limited.

I have a Samsung A3 2015 which runs lineage 14.1 but you must remember it is not identical to your own device but very similar and the settings are the same.

I give you my own experience with lineage 14.1 on my A5, not my current A3.
