[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Yeah, hopefully the search bar problem will be fixed by slim soon. If not I'll look into it. I've read other posts about flac files not playing. I'm not sure why this is. Maybe I'll try and get a log and see what's happening with this.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] doctork:
Thanks for your feedback.

One thing I can tell you about the flac thing is, there is no error visible in logcat, the player throws no error message, the file starts to play, but the counter stays at 00:00 and nothing happens. Exactly the same in henny's lineageos14 image, thats why I think its a nougat problem.

Funny thing, not too much users seem to play flac files, only 2 guys in the lineage and slimrom threads are complaining.... At least Im not alone...

Best Regards - Clemens
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
This is interesting. Yeah, I don't personally play flac files either. I suppose if the log shows nothing it will be difficult to figure out though.

Screen Mirroring and Snapchat are the only two things stopping me from installing this ROM
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I thought Zocker found a solution to the Snapchat problem.

Screen mirroring I don't know what the problem is with this as of right now.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Lewdog45:
I will need to find that Snapchat solution, also is the camera still buggy?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I believe, as with MM ROMS for our device, that if you uninstall/disable the stock camera app and install your own that it's fine.

As far as Snapchat, you'll have to ask Zocker, or maybe he'll see this and reply, cause I don't use it.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
I use flac on my 7.1 stereo at home. With this device I don't notice any difference, so mp3 is good enough IMO.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] turbotorsten:
Camera only laggs while focussing, but this is caused by snapchats bad code.

You have to install the newest Snapchat (I use beta) on Marshmallow, get Titanium backup, and do a full backup of Snapchat. Save the backup.

Install nougat ROM and make sure you have root access. Install Snapchat beta and do full restore of Snapchat. (Restoring Application itself fails, but I do it anyway).

Works.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Can you pre-root this like you did with Slim6?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I suppose I could. I could add magisk or SuperSU. I'm not sure though if I will. Some people may not want a rooted device. I'll think about it. It's not hard to flash SuperSU though. Links in main post.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Lewdog45:
I just have one more question, does it still fail to record video on Snapchat on this ROM? Thanks.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I'll have to let Zocker or someone else who used Snapchat answer this.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] turbotorsten:
Nope. It is laggy, i guess this relays to the continuous focus, but it is some usable.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] meesner:
today I tried to format cache/data with f2fs: works fine (first I updated TWRP with 3.1.0 from here: https://aykevl.nl/android )

here is the Thread: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/development/unofficial-twrp-3-0-3-x-f2fs-support-t3543450

backup and restore of data with TWRP also no problem (if you use "rm -rf" instead of formatting)

I think it boots much faster
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] jardo9:
hello, I want to thank for this amazing rom. I came from stock rom and it's big difference, but unfortunately I'm experiencing some battery drain. When a I went sleep yesterday I had something about 50% of battery, but when I woke up this morning phone was dead. I'm attaching screenshot of battery usage. I would be really greatful for your help.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
It is possible that this is related to the cam/mediaserver bug. I'm not sure.I kind of thought this was somewhat resolved. Either way,disable or uninstall the stock camera and use another. My battery life is fantastic with this ROM.

Edit:

After actually looking at your screenshot hehe...I am positive that this is the case.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] jardo9:
thanks for reply. I'm already using google camera, but i was searching litte bit and I found out that it may cause sd card or chrome browser. So I remove card and replace chrome with firefox and so far so good. I have one more question. When I push power button to wake up screen there is little delay something around 1 sec. On stock rom screen lighted up immediately without any delay, so I'm wondering if you have similar experience with your phone or it's just me. I'm using nova launcher.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Well, I hope those steps help. However, I have my SD card in always and use chrome dev as my browser and do not experience any strange battery drain from the mediaserver. Even if you are using a different camera you must disable or preferably uninstall the stock cam. Otherwise you will still get this issue.

As far as the delay, I have this as well. I also use Nova launcher. I have hardly ever used any of Samsung's ROM's, but the delay doesn't seem any longer to me than on any other custom ROM for our device. I may be able to slightly adjust this in the next build though. I'm not sure. Something I'll have a look at.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
I had opposite expirence from some others. They said camera won't work, it works for me. Battery life is better. Worse for me. Not sure how one G800F can get worse better life on this than another G800F.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] jardo9:
It's looking good now, 0 % mediaserver drain. Maybe SD card was problem, some damaged file or something and when I tried format card I also noticed that it said card has low performance, only class 4. I'm thinking about buying new one class 10 atleast, meaby it will solve problem. Anyway I'll monitor battery usage until tomorrow and if everything goes well I will try reinstall chrome :)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] turbotorsten:
I think if media server crashed and you don't restart it, it starts making your phone turn hot and drain the battery.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
This is 100% the case.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] mongo0:
I think there is a problem with wifi but I don't know if I am the only one...:

after a few days without rebooting, no wifi networks show up anymore. Even when I toggle wifi off and on, the list stays empty. Only full reboot fixes it.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Interesting, I have not had this problem. Anyone else?

Update

Updated from beta 0.12 -> beta 0.16

Enjoy!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] vjgrace:
First off, thanks Spookcity for your consistent hard work.

Wondered if anybody has tried to remap long press home key? I have remapped other keys without issue.

I am finding that with the Slimroms there is no long press home key function...Does anyone know the keycode for long press that I can adjust in the .kl files to regain long press function?

Also, I found that my 3g/lte signal is diminished, however with airplane toggle, there appears to be improvement...was unsure if I was the only one experiencing this?

Thanks
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I remember looking into something similar with slim 6 I believe. I looked into the Generic.kl and qwerty.kl without much luck. I didn't spend a ton of time on it though honestly,so maybe I just missed something. Perhaps look into those.

I have not had any problems with my LTE signal. Maybe others will weigh in on both issues.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] vjgrace:
Yeah, I looked into those .kl files without success for long press home, but was able to remap other buttons fine.

I am having some issues importing sim contacts, it just hangs on screen when trying to import from sim. I'll keep trying, could be something I changed, still looking into it.

Re: cell signal, It appears that when I toggle airplane, my signal is just fine, so not really an issue.

Thanks again :)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Have been jumping from ROM to ROM a bit as of late,so I haven't used this in a little while. I didn't have a problem importing my contacts last I used it though. Hopefully you can sort it out and its not a bug introduced in the latest build.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Batistuta7:
Hy,

How can i set different lock and home screen wallpaper ?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Hmm,not using this ROM currently. I would assume that you can,but am unsure. Maybe someone else can help out.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Updated to slim 0.19.Android 7.1.2! Please read the notes in the main post.

Enjoy!

Edit:

Thanks to StanleyNL we have now created a github repo for info,updates and such,not just with this ROM,but with any ROM anyone wishes to share. All updates will still be on XDA as well.

Read more about it Here

Slim 7 specific Slim7
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] bravur:
Could you please make a comparison table of the ROM-s about key and unic features, problems and speed? It is really hard to select the one is best for a specific users. Well, this is because you and others are working soo hard, and thank you! :)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Hmm,maybe I could do something like this on the github page listed in the post above yours. I would need the time to do so though,so no guarantees. I will try though.

The issues,I can say right now are all going to be rather similar as the device trees used are all the same and most of the issues are device specific ones.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Sunn76:
Awesome job as usual ?

Just can't understand why you still keep that Launcher and don't swap with Nova. It's far better in my opinion

.......
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Thanks man. I agree I always use Nova. I basically just leave it for those who may prefer it. This may change though. Especially if slim launcher remains broken for our device.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] derhunt:
Wanted to try the Rom, but unfortunatley i am stuck right at the beginning. I flashed it without problems, but when i am asked if i want to setup my phone as a new device, the setup assitant stops working with an error und i am back to the very first screen to choose my language. Tryed different languages but no luck.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
The setup screen is from gapps. Try a different version and see if that helps. I didn't have this problem. I use OpenGApps pico.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] burpeesmig:
Hi spookcity138, thanks for the hard work on maintaining our device with the latest android.

With the latest update I encountered an unusual issue, maybe it's just me. The mobile data doesn't seem to work, I activate it but nothing happens. The cellular service is working fine, also the wifi, but the mobile data is off.

First I clean flashed the ROM with the aroma opengapps (version 20170422) and I thought the issue is from aroma version, but then I clean flashed again the ROM with pico opengapps (version 20170422) and the issue is still there.

Before this update I had version 0.16 of slimrom 7 and the mobile data was working fine.

Later I will try to dirty flash this update over the version 0.16 to see if the issue remains.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Oleggluk:
This disc does not automatically configure the access point (APN). (Google Translate)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Yeah,while I didn't have this problem and my mobile data/provider was picked up automatically. I did noticed there are no APN's listed under access point names. I'm not sure why this is. I'll have a look for next build. You may try to switch airplane mode on and off. If that doesn't work you might have to manually add your APN. Let me know if you need any help with this and I will try.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] burpeesmig:
Many thanks spookcity138 and oleggluk.

I didn't think to check the APN, but it worked by adding it manually.

Also, before adding it, I tried switching airplane mode on and off but it didn't helped auto configure the APN.

Thanks again :)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] lekuja2010@gmail.com:
Hi, thanks for all. I put manually APN but it's not possible for me to connect data (belgium Base operator) I have copied from an other smartphone where the data is all right....Thanks

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Hmm,are you sure you are putting the proper APN info in?

Slim updated some things related to their APN's that have apparently caused this issue for our device. I will try to fix it for next build,but it should be possible to manually add and connect.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] AsHv0925:

So is this rom safe to update from Slim6 or should I wait a while longer for it to be stable?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I find it to be very stable. The only real issue I've had is the issue with slim launcher, see the main post for details on that. Just use a 3rd party launcher for now and that's not really a problem.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] AsHv0925:
Much appreciation man, I always use nova so no stress there.. which is your most stable 7 ROM,you're doing magic with so many roms,outta curiosity.. thanks for the awesome work,slim6 is perfect for me
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] filip555:
Hello, thank you for this rom, it works good. One question, how can i disable buttons backlight, and how can I disable led charging while I am using this device?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
It really depends on what you're after. If you prefer the minimum type ROM then I highly recommend slim 7. If you want a ROM with more features and options, along with OMS I recommend AEX (Aosp Extended] That's what I'm using currently and it has been very stable for me.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
You can't disable these on Slim 7. Slim 6 didn't allow this either, so I don't really expect slim 7 to either.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] AsHv0925:
Sorry that feature isn't here but on RR it is..
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
1. to disable backlight you could use this method which worked for me on Slim6 and AOSPExtended https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71108969&postcount=525

You could also use an app called Night Mode.

2. You could try the app Light Manager or similar.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] filip555:
Thanks, that did the job. Instead of making script in kernel adiutor, I installed root browser and made permission on brightness file and edited it with text editor. I don't know how to turn of yellow led while I'm using device and charging it.

---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

I found a bug on slim 7, data connection does't work.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
The mobile connection is a problem with your APN not being picked up automatically. The APN list under settings -> more -> cellular networks is empty. I believe this has just happened with the last update and I'll see if I can fix it next build.

In any case,just manually add you APN if it's not picked up and you should have your mobile connection back.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] filip555:
Same problem if I add APN.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Very strange. I don't know then really. That should work. A few posts back another user had the same problem and this solved it for them.

It's something I'm going to look into next build. Slim made some changes to a few things related to their APN's I think.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] lekuja2010@gmail.com:
All is right for me. After more observation...i have forgoten "PAP".

This ROM ils GREAT !!! BIG THANKS.

Hey folks

wanting to test this ROM as I have had little luck with the latest LineageOS and CM14.x ROMs in terms of usability and battery life. I have followed OP instructions, flashed latest TWRP, ROM, GApps, and SuperSU. First boot gets me to Startup Wizard which just crashes repeatedly after selecting any of the restore/start new options.

Did a search of this thread, nothing turned up, did a wider search on google, same thing - nothing came up.

Anyone got any advice for me?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Knoose:
Got this a while back as well. I just used aosp extended for a while and waited for a new build. Seemed to work then. I do not really know how or why.

Ps. I am currently using aosp as a daily driver. Works really well imho.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I think,but am not positive that this may be a problem with the GApps you are flashing. Perhaps try a different version? Can still be OpenGApps,just another version. I hope this works!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Swaziboy:
Managed to get through the Wizard crash problem. The challenge is I did two things at once to attempt to rectify, so am unsure which one worked :S

1. Add the following to your build.prop

ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED

2. Per [MENTION=7065337]spookcity138[/MENTION] 's recommendation, make sure you download the latest Open GApps - I had one I was using from a few weeks ago, and downloaded a newer one just in case even though it was only a week newer.

Problem solved..

On a side note, [MENTION=7065337]spookcity138[/MENTION] - this is a great looking ROM, and seems much more responsive on the initial load compared to LineageOS and CM14.x - thanks for your efforts. Looking forward to a deeper comparison over the next few days.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] AsHv0925:
I also had that "PAP" issue with APN at first,ROM is stable after a while of me messing it up.. I downloaded a newer "play services" now it keeps telling me update,man that's an old Google problem,stick to the gapps as advised by the developer..
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
I'm getting hot phone and insane idle battery drain too. How do you restart media server?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I believe its an app called MediaServerKIller. Also,a restart will work.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Found it. I have 3 questions:

1. Why doesn't root work? I have SuperSU but it's not rooted, I flashed it after ROM without first boot.

2. What is media sever and what does it do?

3. Can you fix it this media server battery drain with future builds?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] jimmy999x:
https://github.com/Spookcity/ROMS-G800F/issues/10 Folks, please check the github of spookcity138, we have uploaded many roms that are tested before they are published
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] AsHv0925:
The mediaserver killer is a must have I think especially for custom roms,it's useful
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
1. I have no idea why root would not work. It def should. Perhaps try Magisk?

2. MediaServer is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. You'll have to search for a better explanation. I'm not very good at explaining :D

3. I don't know. Hopefully it will somewhat sort itself out in the next build like it seems to have on LOS 14.1
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
IDK why. I wonder if using same method with odin that works for Samsung's lolipop and marshmallow will work. Another thing I noticed is 1: idle battery consuption is very low, but charging battery takes like 4 hours for me with this ROM.

EDIT: Fixed root, trying flashing it again worked.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Glad you got root working. The battery thing I have from time to time as well. I don't know what causes this,but I have it on all ROMS. The solution is to unplug and re-plug the charger. Usually once works,but sometimes it takes another time or two.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Is there anyway to get xposed for this yet?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Nope,no xposed for nougat yet.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Updated to beta 0.24. See main post for details.

Enjoy!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
I must admit this is the best custom ROM I've used yet, hopefully no critical problems accure, as I hate Samsung's crapfest more than anything.

Also I noticed fingerprint reader won't work sometimes on lock screen, while other times it works. Can you look into that?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Yes,this is my 2nd favorite ROM next to AEX. If I want to customize I use that,otherwise I use this.

As far as the Fingerprint sensor. This is a known issue. I don't use it,so I don't know. I uploaded a zip file that removes the LP fingerprint libs and replaces them with the MM libs. Apparently,while it doesn't fix the problem it is better. If you decide to flash this,please make a backup. While nothing should go wrong,anything is possible!

It says no mirrors found in the link....
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
This is probably an AndroidFileHost issue. Give it some time and try again. If you're still getting that error tomorrow let me know.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
No big deal about fingerprint was just curious. How long have you been making ROMs for S5 Mini btw? And how long do you plan to work on them for this device?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I started probably last summer. Really started by making a kernel as I have been modding my Linux kernel for a long time and thought it would be fun.

As far as how long. I guess as long I as own the mini. I'm due for a new phone soon,but am going to try to keep it ( I usually end up giving old phones to family/friends in need] I guess we shall see what the future brings [emoji2]

Hi,

I just switched to Slim7.

The APN issue is still present in the newest build. The mobile connection is not working automatically.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Yeah,honestly I did not even look into this. I will,I've just been busy. Plus its a kinda strange issue as my mobile connection/APN is picked up fine. So it seems a bit hit or miss.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Evos11:
Finally downloaded it and flashed. The fingerprint sensor seems to work, I needed to set APN manualy but it works now. The homescreen button long press did not work, but with 3rd party app I'm able to set that action to it.

I have new problem. I have insane RAM usage at 96 % with everything closed fresh boot. Please help, phone can keep only 1 application in memory now :(
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] turbotorsten:
Never had this issue. You could try using kernel adiutor from play store with root to control ram usage.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] tomatende2001:
First of all: thank you for this ROM.

Now my problem: Amazon Prime Video always crash, also after I updated WebView to the newest version. :(
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I honestly have no idea what might be causing this. I'll try to have a little look into it,or if you're able you can get me a logcat and I can try to see if I can tell what's happening.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] tomatende2001:
I think anything is wrong with the WebView in this ROM. Btw. the AospExtended has the same problem. After uninstalling WebView via Titanum Backup and installing it again from PlayStore all works fine.
