[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] digu16:
Hello, thank you for this Rom.

I tried this ROM with Spookcity Kernel, 200 MHz min. frequency and undervolting via Adiutor. Battery life is great.

But, when I switch to (permanent) akku/energy saving mode, the device loose it after reboot.

With Stock ROM (KK, LP, MM + Stock or Custom Kernels) the device keep the (permanent) akku/enery mode afte reboot.

Is this a bug or the result of the Custom Kernel?

Is there a way to keep the (permanent) akku/energy saving mode after reboot?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I honestly am not sure why this would be. I don't think its related to my kernel,but its possible. Perhaps try with the stock kernel and see if it works. At least thats a good way to eliminate or confirm the cause. If I have some time (something I've been greatly lacking recently) I will try to look into it.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] digu16:
Ok, I went back to original kernel. The same Problem with forgotten energy/akku saving mode after reboot. That means th bug is not in your custom kernel. Problem is a bug in Slim Rom 7.

Perhaps it can be fixed in next version of Slim Rom 7.

Thank you!!!!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
I use this ROM for past 2 weeks and I'm really happy with it. Flashed kernel 6.0, Magisk 14.6 and now v15. Also use Xposed (installed in system not the Magisk way) version 88.2 and now 89 with Gravity Box. All works great.

Sometimes after flashing and wiping the caches it didn't boot up at first, but after removing battery it always booted.

First Xposed flash made the ROM very buggy, so I restored a backup and just flashed again and then it's OK.

I'll have to put much much more focus on my work that's why I reduced my time here (real life...what a pita).

Wish you all the best!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Thanks as always for the detailed feedback. Glad to hear its working well! I know the feeling of real life stuff getting in the way lol. It's why I have also been very silent on here. Also why I haven't done anything Android related in weeks. Hopefully soon. All the best to you too. Enjoy the holidays!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] PropCrvtking:
why did you delete the g800h (Snapdragom) version of this version of the Slim rom?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Wasn't me. I have never built a ROM for the G800H. Simply because I do not own one.

Installation problem

I have a little problem with installation it says : Can´t install this package (Sun Nov 5) over newer build. but i download now
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Fatal_Scythe:
That means that your current TWRP Version isn't compatible with the ROM. To fix that you would have to install an older Version of TWRP.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] clodtif:
thank you [MENTION=7065337]spookcity138[/MENTION] for your work.

i used slim6 for all my 3 phones.love this rom.

i have to ask if there are possible to update my slim6 phones to slim7 without losing my data(account,software,etc...). can you suggest me correct way?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
What I would do is clean flash the ROM, wipe everything but SD card.

To backup and restore user apps I only use Titanium Backup which can do a lot more like WiFi logins, SMS and call backup. Better don't restore system apps that can cause problems.

I don't use most of the most popular apps which often have their own backup method.

Backup your current ROM with TWRP.

Please do more research because only you know what is important for you and it is not possible to guide you through all of it. And play around with Titanium to get used to it. In the beginning I also made step by step lists...on a piece of paper...with a pen;)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] clodtif:
[MENTION=7726355]Pat750[/MENTION] thank you for reply. so i flash it in my test device,if i think good i flash to usual device.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Testing is always a good idea. And make backups with TWRP, always good to have backups.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] clodtif:
of course, before flashing anithing, i made backup of my phone on pc. and EFS (some people never made backup of efs).
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] bisy:
How to install this,I use ODIN but not recognize this zip files (gapps,twrp,slim kminilite) when I download from first post,zip. or when unzip files ODIN can't recognized.....so how to get tar. file ???

Thanx
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Fatal_Scythe:
You can't install a custom ROM via ODIN.

To install this ROM, you have to install TWRP Recovery first (which you can flash via ODIN as it is a .tar file) and then you have to put the ROM and Gapps zip files in your Phone's Memory or in your SD Card) and then you can flash them via the TWRP Recovery.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] CptProton:
Hi there,

I'm having trouble getting this to work. Here's what I did so far.

I installed TWRP (2.8.7) via ODIN.

I bootet into recovery, wiped the whole thing and installed Magisk, this ROM and Open GApps Mini from an external SD Card.

The thing is, it boots but all the GApps keep closing as well as the Setup Wizard keeps stopping. I can enter the settings but that's all.

I tried a different GApps package (full) but to no avail. When I leave the GApps out, the ROM boots just normal.

I updated TWRP to 3.2.1 but this led to error messages in the flashing process and the device being frozen in the boot process. So I downgraded to TWRP 2.8.7 again and now I'm back to where I was.

Any ideas what could cause this?

Thx in advance.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
For Nougat ROMS I would suggest TWRP 3.1.1-1 get it here

https://eu.dl.twrp.me/kminilte/

Hopefully this will solve it.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] CptProton:
Worked like a charm. Thx a lot for the quick answer.

This should be on the first page.

Hi,

I feel kind of silly, but I can't find the proper switch to deactivate the google search bar at the bottom of the home screen.

Any hints?

Edit:

I just saw in this thread that this seems to be a general issue. So never mind my question.

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Maybe try a different launcher? But I'm not sure.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] BirthdayDog11:
I tested the latest version, and I was able to install it. But it freezes up all the time, which makes it unusable.

Solved.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Look at page 34 of Slim6 thread. Mikhalo has written a script for that. I haven't tried it though.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
Thanks, I'll look into it!

It works like a charm, but for everyone else wondering about it, I'll summarize it and tell you the correct script:

You can use a file manager to add a new file in a new folder on your internal storage and you can call it whatever you like, as long as the file doesn't have an extension.

In the file you just created, add the following text:

#! /system/bin/sh

su

echo "0" > /sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_touchkey/brightness

chmod 444 /sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_touchkey/brightness

Then, download Init.d emulator from the Play Store.

Check the first, second and third checkboxes and click 'selected folder'. Find the folder you just created and press the save icon. Now the lights should be disabled forever!

That's it! The backlights should be disabled now.

I have a weird error when trying to install auto-root zip:

Could not find 'META-INF/com.google/android/update-binary' in the zip file.

Error installing zip file '/sdcard/Download/Cf-Auto-Root-klminiltexx-smg800f.zip
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Hmm, I honestly have not rooted my slim 7 as of yet. I can only say that it seems to be missing the update-binary script or is for some reason looking in the wrong place. I will look into this. Maybe someone else has an idea?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] mongo0:
Hello,

I just read that there are also non-flashable zips. Which must be installed with adb sideload. (I don't have adb, and only mac os here, so I can't try right now)

Maybe that is the case here as well?! Sorry, I have not much of a clue.

br
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I'm not really sure off hand either sorry. I believe I've had this error before with other zips even though the update binary script was there. Maybe try to move the zip to the internal storage and flash from there,if you haven't already. I think I've needed to do that once or twice.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] turbotorsten:
Maybe redownload the file. Could be corrupted. If something doesn't work, first download again to make sure the download finisher correctly.

Hello, thank you for this great rom.

Rooting is no problem on windows with odin (included in zip).

coming from cm13, i only miss two things:

1. option that power button doesn't instantly lock the screen

2. blocking network access for certain apps

also, I think that the fingerprint sensor has problems when three (or more than one(?)) fingerprints are set up.

br
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] turbotorsten:
The fingerprint thing is related to changes hennymcc made in the repo to fix that the fingerprint sensor only works sometimes. It is your choice now if you want a stable fingerprint scanner or more fingerprints.

Me personally, I don't even need more than 3 fingers.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
How is stability and battery life compared to Slim6 ROM you made?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I haven't used it a lot yet. To me the battery life seems good, bit I've never really had any issues with battery life. I'm going to rebuild this probably tomorrow and try to fix a few things.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Updated to beta 0.12 with many fixes. See main post for details.

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Peregr1ne:
Hi All,

I'm trying to upgrade my brand new G800F to this rom, but seem to be getting into probs when installing TWRP.

1: I have succesfully installed "CF-Auto-Root-kminilte-kminiltexx-smg800f.tar.md5" via Odin, without any problems.

2a: When trying to install the latest TWRP I run into problems related to USB drivers on my PC, causing me not to be able to fully use ADB/fastboot - I believe this is a "side-issue" however and not really related to my phone or a final blocker...

2b: Via Odin I have been albe to succesfully* install the alternative recovery as listed in the first post, succesfully with a * since I'm not convinced of the success: although Odin reports to have been finished succesfully, when then get into Recovery I see the following warning "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing".

The Recovery is the TWRP as you'd expect it to be, but because of the above not able to flash anything - I was able to make a full backup with it though.

3: Re-installing "CF-Auto-Root-kminilte-kminiltexx-smg800f.tar.md5" via Odin solves the Seandroid-error, but brings me back to the old (stock) recovery and step 1.

My question really is: how best to go forward from here?

I presume I need to have a more modern recovery, do you have any suggestions as to which version might work?

The phone is still at stock 5.1.1, and my PC is Win10-64bits (for driver type).

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Ivo
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Lewdog45:
The "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing" message at the top of the screen is pretty normal, as long as the TWRP recovery does show up instead of the normal recovery then all is good.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Peregr1ne:
Thanks, but I am afraid that the not-enforcing-status may be causing other problems.

I problably should have been more explicit/specific, but what I mentioned as the last bit of step three above was really the fact that in TWRP, when flashing the Slim Rom I get a failure with red letters saying as much as that due to compatibility errors or something TWRP cannot progress and I think that a factory reset is suggested. I don't have it in front of me now, so I might not be 100% correct but that is what I seem to remeber of it.

I had assumed this to be a direct consequnce of the not-enforced-status since that is also often suggested to be compatibility-related.

I'll update with an exact quote of the error that I ran into.

Cheers,

Ivo
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Lewdog45:
The best thing to do is completely wipe the phone (Backup EFS First!!!) Then wipe everything off the phone (ALL PARTITIONS) except the SD Card of course, then attempt to flash the ROM. If you still have no success, try reflashing TWRP on to your phone, if you like you can message me privately and I will assist you further, thanks.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] meesner:
I'm on SLIM 7 since Monday and I can say, battery-life is much better than on SLIM 6
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Interesting problem. I can say that the "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing" message is not the issue. This is normal and not a problem at all. You need to make sure the auto reboot is not checked in odin when you install recovery. This is the reason you are brought back into stock recovery. After you flash DO NOT let the phone reboot. You MUST boot into recovery after you flash otherwise you're back to stock recovery. Good luck!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] mongo0:
the "cf"-auto-root also messed up my TWRP recovery and replaced it with something that looks like stock.... (maybe isn't)

I can't see advanced reboot menu anymore in dev settings..
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Interesting. I have not rooted my slim 7 build. I was told that cf auto-root would work, but have not tried myself. Can anyone else confirm whether this works or not? I will remove it from the original post if it's messing things up for people.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
I don't know if it works, but I'm sure that this version works (see attachment and flash with TWRP).

I can give you a link if you want to replace it with the version in the main post!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] skysurfer1111:
I had this warning "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing" also. It comes from 5.1.1 lollipop. So what I did was, I first flashed back stock 4.4.2 - no warning anymore.

Then rootet with cf autoroot, flashed TWRP (no reboot, as spookcity said).

Then I wiped all partitions except internal sdcard with TWRP, installed slim7 zip, the gapps and the latest supersu 2.79 (like StanleyNL attached) - wiped cache and dalvik again - reboot.

Results: no annoying warning anymore, runs perfect without issues (except camera bug of course)

Edit: May be you can flash any stock rom to get rid of the warning. The important thing is, that you never ever reboot back the phone into system before you wiped the partitions and installed your custom rom (I'm not sure about this, just try)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
Well, the message was removed recently, probably by henny (another ROM developer for the s5 mini) and it should be gone now, even with root. I'd suggest not using CF auto root at all and only do the last steps you specified:

This should be all you have to do (except for flashing TWRP first if you haven't already) even when coming from stock TouchWiz.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Thanks guys! This is interesting. I will go ahead and remove the cf auto root link sometime soon then. Anyone wanting to root can just flash superSU or use magisk.Perhaps I'll include magisk in the next build even. I don't know.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
Here's a link to the SuperSU file I uploaded if you want to use it in the main post: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1kigzj08bK2ZFdtUVdNMHowaG8/view?usp=drivesdk
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Thanks a lot!

Edit:

Updated main post
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Peregr1ne:
Thanks for the swift and detailed response, it is really appreciated! :D

I've tried it right away, here's the results:

1. I re-flashed "CF-Auto-Root-kminilte-kminiltexx-smg800f.tar.md5" from Odin (ran Odin as Admin), this time unticked the Auto-reboot-box

2. Odin completed flashing and reported "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)", blue bar on phone screen was completely full

3. waited some time (there is this big warning not to turn off phone on the phone screen after all...)

4. disconnected phone from pc, this resulted in Odin saying "<ID:0/003> Removed!!"

5. pulled battery from phone and put it back in

6. restarted phone directly into recovery

7. while booting the phone displayed the "Recovery is not SEAndroid Enforcing" message again, first in red and then it turned blue

8. without any action from me, the phone started executing a batch process, showing white text scrolling over a red "pirate-style-android figure", the text included amongst others:

"Rooting (SuperSU) ..."

"SuperSU Installer"

"Boot Image Patcher"

"Restoring stock recovery ..."

9. After booting into Android, powering down and rebooting into Recovery I am back to stock recovery indeed, and no warnings of SEAndroid appear anymore.

I've been able to repeat all these steps twice now.

Note that at no point in this process I have been presented the TWRP screen as expected, I can get that to work, but only via the steps as outlined in my first post, and that does include the SEAndroid warning.

Is there anything else I can do to help you better diagnose what is happening exactly?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
It appears as though perhaps cf auto root may be causing some problems. I have removed the link for that in the main post and instead added SuperSU. I would suggest trying that instead of cf auto root and see what happens. I hope that will work for you!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Peregr1ne:
:laugh::good::victory:

I have first flashed the SuperSu via stock recovery (rooted succesfully)

then flashed TWRP 2.8 via Odin (no issues)

then flashed SlimROM, GAPPS and SuperSU again via TWRP, running Nougat now:cool:

Thanks for your help and thanks for your effort of making ROMs like these! Very much appreciated

Fantastic! Glad it worked

Rom-related questions

Now that I've gotten over the installation hurdles, I have some questions that are actually related to the Rom itself ;)

What camera-app do you use or recommend?

On other phones I often had one as part of the Rom, and the GoogleCamera (official) one, based on the comments in the earlier posts I had expected the former one not to work...but the GoogleCamera also doesn't work for me. The app every time ends up in an error "Can't connect to the camera." - a comparable error to what the Rom-stock camera app gave.

Is there a way around this, to get one of them to work?

On the homescreen there is always the google searchbar, but this seems to be an "overlay" rather than a "regular object". What I mean with this is that it appears possible to place app-icons or widgets "behind/under" the search bar, where I'd expect it to simply occupy the top row and not allow anything else to be placed there. It also is located a bit lower than where the top row sits, and strangely I am unable to remove or disable the bar from the homescreen settings: the show search bar option doesn't seem to affect the presence of the bar on/over my homescreen.

Finally, my last one for today :)

Since I've never been blessed to have a phone with a notification-led before: where/how can I see or even change the behaviour settings of this led?

Thanks in advance,

Ivo
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Well, I've currently been trying out AICP 12.1, so I'm not sure I can answer all of these.

1. The camera- I always used Google camera with no problems, but perhaps it's an issue with this ROM. I have not used a camera at all on it as of yet. Snap HDR I have also used. Maybe you could try that.

2. The searchbar-I'm also not too sure of this. The only thing I can think of is to check slim launcher settings by holding the screen and going to settings. Then see if you can change anything there.

3. LED's-Slim 6 didn't offer any way to adjust LED's and I'm going to assume that slim 7 will not either. The only hope here is for xposed to come to nougat. Actually, I'd guess there may be some app from the play store for this, but this is just a guess.

Maybe someone else can answer these better then I.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Peregr1ne:
Regarding the first one: I've got that one solved by exactly following the steps as outlined by Swaziboy: I've got a functional camera (Google Camera app) in Slim Rom 7 now :laugh:
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Peregr1ne:
As for number 2: judging from the many recent Slim 7 rom threads for different phone models & brands, this is an issue caused by the rom itself, hopefully will be fixed in a future release

And for number 3 I also found a nice solution, still trying / testing but so far so good; I've installed this app, although the post is quite old, the app seems still maintained & updated regularly and seems to do the job.

Cheers,

Ivo
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Seriously? How long did it last before and how long does it last you know with similar usage?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
2. The searchbar: try to flash Gapps pico (without the Google app). I think on Slim6 it solved it, but I could be wrong.

3. I use light manager app for led settings.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Mermaid Man:
I always use Apex launcher and it has an option in it's settings not to show the persistent search bar.

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I also find nougat ROMS in general to have better battery life. Not a huge difference for me, but certainly noticeable.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
I'd flash it but Ireally wanna know first how's stability and bugs cuz I need phone to work.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
It's actually usable! I've been using Nougat ROMs for this device since November and now that the video scaling bug is gone, I can highly recommend these ROMs even to the average user! The only thing that bothers some users, is the fact that the camera sometimes won't launch, but when you read through this forum a bit you should be able to find a solution!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] doctork:
Works so far for me. The "hardcoded" search bar is a bit annoying, but I use Screen "2", so thats ok.

One major bug: flac files dont play (in vanilla music). Since they also dont play in LineageOS 14, i suspect a Android 7 issue. Hrmpf.
