Again,not a feature that I use often,so I've not tested it. I really don't understand why it wouldn't work. I will try to look into it though.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Schlicki:
I have dirty flashed the latest version and GApps over 4.2, now I'm stuck in 'Downloading, do not turn off target'..... :(

Update was done via TWRP and had no errors.

Any idea how to solve?

Every reboot shows the S5 Mini screen for less then a second and then enters the Download mode'..... :(
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Never had that issue, but on previous updates a clean flash was highly recommended. So you could try that. Or try to dirty flash again.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Schlicki:
How shall I flash again? Can't even reach recovery.......
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Sorry wasn't concentrating. So you can't even reach TWRP with the button combo? Maybe flash TWRP with Odin? If that doesn't work I really don't know.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Schlicki:
Was able to flash stock ROM via Odin. Phone does not boot but then TWRP was flashable via Odin too and I was able to install 4.5. Bit tricky but working now.

Strange fact: all old apps were still there, although stock was flashed before... Doesn't matter, saved me from restoring from Titanium.... :)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Glad it seems to work now... somehow. But the way you provide information doesn't give me a clear picture though...

Sent from my cigarette break...
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Schlicki:
I flashed stock ROM via Odin and the phone booted without ending it. Started download mode and flashed TWRP then and was able to get the ROM on the phone via TWRP.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Hey thanks for clarification. Stock ROM probably didn't boot cause you forgot to wipe the caches in original recovery. Happened to me as well, it is needed when coming from an AOSP ROM.

Sorry if I sound like a teacher sometimes...I'm not.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] d4foasta:
Is it necessary for functionality to install gapps or opengapps? Will some extensions stop working or the installation process abort/not finish?

Thanks in advance, dafoasta
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
There is no need to install GApps if you don't want. The ROM will install fine and work just fine. You must remember that a some apps you may install depend on GApps though,so they obviously won't work properly. A lot of apps will work just fine without GApps though. If you need google related services for some apps,perhaps have a look into this:

https://microg.org/

This ROM supports it.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] d4foasta:
Thanks. I am already quite experienced in going without GSF and PlayStore, although sometimes it's quite a hazard. Though despite putting very much effort into it only today i found out about microG, it sounds very good. tbh it even was the fact that AEX supports SignatureSpoofing that gave it the notch over LOS , so that i can give it a try :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Did a clean flash a couple of days ago with AEX 4.5 and everything is running just fine.

Magisk 13.3 is preinstalled, button lights can be turned off, Substratum and all the other things I need are working, also APN ist ok.

And since there is an F in G800F the device can be certified (although Adaway is installed in system!?).

Kernel 5.0 is doing a good job.

Only sometimes when pressing the home button when screen is off it doesn't react at first then it sometimes says "long press power to interact"?

But in general home button is working good. I use the pocket detection setting.

Thanks for making this work...
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah,I also had the " long press power to interact "happen to me a few times. I'm not sure what it is,but it has to be related to some "feature" I'm not currently running this ROM,but perhaps someone knows what it's all about.

Edit:

I guess it's a feature called "pocket judge" That's all I know as of now. I'll keep you updated if I learn more.

Edit II:

I guess if you turn pocket detection off in settings that this feature is disabled,so that should solve the black screen.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Updated to v4.6. This is the final Nougat release of this ROM.

Enjoy!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Thanks for the update and all of your work.

Did you try a dirty flash or must it be clean flashed?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
You're most welcome. I did a clean flash. I always do though. AEX recommends a clean flash with each build,but it may work OK with a dirty flash. No harm in trying. If you experience bizarre issues though then I'd recommend a clean flash. Do post the outcome if you dirty flash this update though if you don't mind as it may help others.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] jorgecntrrs:
Will this ROM work with the g800h dual sim variant?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
No it won't work with G800H.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] jorgecntrrs:
Are there any ROMs for the g800h? It seems to be a wildly unpopular variant
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
There are a couple I think. CM13 is one iirc. There just aren't many people who develop for the G800H..at least not recently.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] martidroid:
If I make a VoIP call (WhatsApp, Telegram) the called person receives terrible sound quality (like burbling, cracking and stuff) and can barely understand me. Meanwhile during regular calls everything is fine. Can someone help?

Thanks a lot in advance :)

EDIT: in V4.5 I don't get this issue, but instead the called person hears an echo of himself....
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
So a dirty flash from 4.5 to 4.6 worked for me. Really like that new boot animation (it doesn't say that G word anymore).

I had Magisk 14 installed and the survival script was running right after the flash and also the ROM installed Magisk 14 again (because it is integrated).

After boot it said not rooted, but after manual flash all settings and modules were still there.

ROM has September update and with my settings it is certified.

Thanks for spending so much time and since this is the last update...let's hope that there will be an O-pdate.

Would be so cool if you guys wuold get that working for our little guinea pig.

But take your time...it's the only one you have.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] D9ALT:
WiFi and USB tethering, not work :(
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Hmm,I'm not sure why this would be. If it is broken its something I can try to look into,but a word of warning. I have been really busy lately. I would also have to re download the sources. So this would take time. How much I cannot say.

Thanks as always and glad to hear. As far as Oreo,hennymcc is working on it still. I haven't talked to him in a bit,but he pushed some commits the other day. I am sure he will get it working. I've said it before,but I'll say it again...We are very lucky that he takes his time to do this for our device.

Also not sure why this would be. Unless some thing are just broken in v4.6. I have not tested and do not use certain features very often.See my comment above about VoIP calls.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] guitarhead:
First of all, thank you for building these ROMs, Samsung doesn't care that much about, as it should be doing.

I'm having a problem with my headphone. All of a sudden, when I listened to Music via bluetooth or Speaker and I plug in my Headphone the audio is played through the speaker, not the headphone. When the device is yet booted switchen between speaker and headset works as it should. Then the behavior apperars again. It seems the phone doesn't recognize the headphone anymore. And of course the headset buttons stop working too.

Is there any evidence of this problem and perhaps a workaround? E.g. restart some Android-Service or configure something differently?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Hmm,this was caused by a particular kernel patch. There have been a lot of commits to our kernel between the last build and this one. I'm not sure if this was not fixed in the main kernel repo or not. Or if it's completely unrelated. If you don't mind,could you flash my kernel and let me know if the issue still persists so I know what may or may not be the cause. Thanks.

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] guitarhead:
Allright I installed the kernel, like stated. Can't report on the issue because my device reboots as soon as it goes into standby. If I keep it alive, it's fine... tried to 1.6 Ghz and the 1.5 Ghz Version already.

Any advice? I'm pretty concerned.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Man that shouldn't happen anymore...idk. You use version 5.0?

If you did a TWRP backup before the kernel flash you should get your old kernel back by just restoring the boot partition. Don't forget to wipe the caches.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] guitarhead:
Thanks for your advise. I reflashed the image and wiped the caches, 'cause I forgot to make a backup :p

It's working like before (an working nice ROM with the described audio problem).

I used version 5.0. First try the "normal" Version, second try the 1.5 Ghz Version. Of course I wiped the caches after each try. Bad luck. But a fix to this audio issue would still be great.

In the meantime, is there an image which has working headphone support?

I'm using my headphone on a daily basis, while cycling, so I need this "feature" pretty often.

Kind regards!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I'm a little confused,sorry. Did you successfully get my kernel running? The audio/headphone issue is present with my kernel as well or? Sorry I just don't fully understand.

Edit:

I think I understand more now after reading some more [emoji2]

Weird that my kernel wouldn't work for you. That's strange. Either way,I'm not even positive it is the kernel. I would need to test when I have some time. I just know this was an issue with my kernel as well due to a kernel patch.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] guitarhead:
I couldn't test it. As soon as the device went into standby it rebooted. Any idea on that? Why your kernel does that on my phone? I tried setting the standby CPU frequency to 300 mhz, instead of 200, but it didn't help.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
That is very strange. I have no idea. The 1.6ghz version doesn't work for some,but generally the 1.5 should work. A few have issues,but idk. Off the top of my head I'm out of ideas. I'll try to test this out when I have time,but I've been rather busy. You could try to extract the boot.img from AEX v4.5 and test this. A lot of the commits to the kernel were not made yet... Specifically the patch that has caused this issue in the past.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] wederr:
When the headphones are connected, the sound continues to go through the speakers

installed it AospExtended-v4.6-kminilte-20170918-1827-UNOFFICIAL.zip
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Read above. You can try to test my kernel and let me know if the problem is still there. This is going to be the first step in figuring this out. I'll try later

Edit:

I just tested this on AICP which is using the latest kernel as well and can confirm this problem. I can also confirm in limited testing that it works with my kernel. I know the fix (I hope) so I will build a "stock" kernel for both AICP and this ROM with this fixed when I have some time.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I have built an updated (hopefully fixed) kernel for this ROM. I have just placed it in the ROM zip,so either dirty flash the ROM or extract the boot.img and flash that way. Since I built the kernel separately there is going to be the "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" message. Sorry about that. If this is a problem my only suggestion is to flash my custom kernel. Would appreciate some feedback on whether the headphone detection is now solved. Thanks
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Evos11:
Could you please test the tethering functions?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] mularesko:
Thanks bud. Works flawless for me with your custom 5.0 1500 kernel. Really appreciate your work. Waiting for yours next projects:good:
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I will try to look into this when I have some time.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] wederr:
Headphones have earned

Thank you so much!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Evos11:
Nice work! Its very smooth. The hotspot is working but no internet connection. There is no valified ip adress...The setting crashes whenewer I want to add gestures. I flashed your 1500 v5.0 kernel but on the boot screen and phone info is still permissive.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
The crash in gesture settings is a known problem (not only for our device) I believe its due to lack of device gesture support.

I'm not fully sure what you're saying about the kernel. My kernel is set to permissive. That's normal.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] nbaerts2:
Nice work and very smooth as usual, thanks!

By replacing GAPPS by microG, the localisation, the Google's push messaging service,... work just fine; no apps are complaining, even the ones requiring Safetynet.

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Seb_Lz:
Hello and thanks for this great ROM. For some reason it seems I can't get rid of battery drain. The main problem is mediaserver.

I've done a clean flash with nano gapps and spookcity kernel 5.0 (1.5ghz). I disabled the stock camera using "pm disable com.android.camera2" in root terminal and installed "Open Camera". I also tried mediaserver killer without any success. I'm only using Whatsapp/Facebook/Messenger and the stock browser. Any idea how to solve this problem ?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Well,it sounds as if you've done everything I can think of to try to solve it. It's strange though as I also use this ROM as well as my kernel and my battery life is good. I'm not really sure why you have this problem. Hopefully someone else may have some ideas.

Maybe install an app like BetterBatteryStats to try and see what exactly is draining it so fast.

Edit:

Nevermind,you said it was the MediaServer [emoji4]
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Seb_Lz:
I've installed the ROM again with MicroG instead of GAPPS and it already seems to be MUCH better. The main problem wasn't mediaserver anymore but some location service from google. I'll need some more days to test and figure out if I can get everything I need with MicroG but so far it seems good :).
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] lekuja2010@gmail.com:
Hello,it's great rom. Thanks for this. I have a question : i try to play *.flac file. It's possible to play this with phonegraph? i must install a module or change something into system? Thanks in advance.

Envoyé de mon SM-G800F en utilisant Tapatalk
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Yeah,I believe there is just a problem playing flac files with our device. I could be wrong,but I think I remember reading about others having this issue. I've never tried so maybe someone else can offer some insight.

Pie setting

Hello, i found a big bug : when i activate the 'pie setting', i have the message 'Close application' in loop....the solution is to boot in recovery and wipe data......

for the moment, don't activate 'the pie setting'.

I'm waiting an update (if it's possible) to solve this problem.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I don't have this issue. I am not planning any updates for this ROM,sorry. That said, this is the ROM that I use. I did a personal build with custom toolchains and nearly all apps removed (as I use different apps for most things) I will go ahead and share this build sometime soon for those interested. There will be no updates or fixes for that build either though as it was really only meant as a personal build.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Just use mp3.

I don't konw if flac files work here, but there is absolutely no need for using flac on a smartphone.

To benefit from flac you need a good sound system with an amplifier that can handle 24bit 96 or 192khz data.

I use flac on my 7.1 stereo at home and there you hear the difference, but no way a smartphone with cable or BT will ever produce real gooooood sound.

Most modern music has such a bad dynamic range that it really doesn't make a difference anyway.

Unless you listen to Dire Straits 1st LP as a 1st pressing vinyl rip (best dynamic range in the world),

or stuff like The Doors, Velvet Underground, Joy Division, Bowie, John Coltrane, where sound quality counts.

You also need good ears. Mine have just been tested as "the best there could be" the doctor said.

Sorry for getting OT, but I could talk for hours about that....
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Agreed,but really only wanted to post to say that you named some very good bands [emoji4]
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Yeah, and I also like this ROM. Use it for the past few weeks and for the last couple of days with kernel 5.1...working great...thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:

Major problems

Hello [MENTION=7065337]spookcity138[/MENTION],

I am having major problems right after first launching this ROM.

I installed this ROM many times, tried many GApps versions, tried not wiping the cache after flashing, tried installing GApps on second boot. I even tried Test build #6 from your GitHub ... nothing helps.

There are two main problems:

Setup Wizard / anything Google crashing

Right after boot is complete, "Setup Wizard crashed" popup shows. After getting rid of this message, another one appears mentioning basically anything from GApps. If I skip flashing GApps, then ROM this issue does not happen (SIM still not detected)​

No SIM problem

This probably neeed no further explanation, toggling airplane mode does not help.​

I managed to turn ADB on and get a bit of logcat. There definitely is something wrong.

Should I try your customized kernel from GitHub "thread"? I have never touched anything kernel related in Android, so I am a bit scared to do so. "About Phone" shows 3.4.113+ kernel version.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Hey there,

OK,the problem with GApps has been reported by others and has been successfully fixed by installing the latest TWRP for our device which you can get here:

https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys5miniexynos.html

The SIM issues has to do with SELinux and avc denials which I saw in your log. You can try an app like kernel adiutor that allows you to set this to permissive at boot...Then reboot and see if your SIM is detected. Only other ways I know are to a) flash the latest stock Samsung ROM or b) flash my kernel. My kernel has SELinux set to permissive. That's why it will work. Good luck!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] mik13ST:
Problems fixed

Great, issues solved. And I think I managed to get Xposed working (that was the only thing that kept me from moving to Nougat).

You seriously deserve a donation either for creating/forking this ROM in the first place or for solving people's problems like these or for doing both. If this ROM is stable (I am using your customized one with your kernel from GitHub) I will donate.

P.S. I am happy to see another Arch Linux user :).
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Great! Glad to hear. Either way I appreciate the thoughts. I'm just glad that I'm able to share with others here on XDA...and I am always glad to help out when I am able. The "optimized" version of this ROM I posted on GitHub is IMO fantastic. It is super smooth and fast and the battery life is great.

Also, Arch all the way,it is just a fantastic distro in every way. Couldn't pay me enough to use anther one after switching to arch a few years ago. I can't imagine anyone could.Particularly if you enjoy Linux. There is certainly an initial "what the hell am I suppose to do here?" when coming from something like Ubuntu,but once that''s sorted its amazing...And that not even mentioning the arch wiki

New ROM.....new trouble :)

But maybe a small one.....

I like the Apex Launcher for a long time und I install it.

But everytime I press the Homebutton, the Google Now Launcher is back on screan :(

Also I can`t delete the Google Launcher, only stop. But with every Homebutton-Press that Now Launcher is back......

How can I fix this???

Bommel
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Oleggluk:
These are elementary things. You use the android the first day. When switching launchers, the system asks to use always or just now. If for some reason this question is not, then in the settings-applications-gear-select the main application (the desired launcher). You can remove the system application by any special application using Root or directly on the system through a file manager with Root access.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] newstarter:
Ah ok, thanks. I know thats basic and the phone asked me at first, but I gave the Google Now a try and later I did`nt found the right place to change this.

Now I got it and all is fine ;) , thanks.

OTG Function.

Hello to everybody.

I have installed this ROM and I'm quite satisfied with it :).

One question is: is OTG supposed to work ?

I am plugging my USB pen but I do not see anything happen.:confused:
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] mik13ST:
There should be an app already installed called Advanced Settings. It should give you the control over OTG that you need. You can just switch OTG on and off without restart, but keep it off as often as possible to keep your phone "waterproof".
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] LilJay86:
Hello, great ROM! THX!!!!

Is it possible to turn off LED notifications during changing?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I'm honestly not real sure. I kinda don't think so though. There may be an xposed module for this though as xposed is compatible with nougat now. Something to look into perhaps.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] sebahsaav:
hello I have installed this rom, clean, I followed all the steps .. I am using it 3 weeks ago. It's very good and fast

I only found two problems:

1) the classic problem of the camera

2) when the brightness level of the screen decreases, it remains blinking in green colors ..

regards
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Yeah,try another camera. I've had success with snap cam HDR and google camera. I've never experienced the blinking green colors. You're speaking of auto brightness I guess? I don't use that,so it would explain why after using this ROM a lot that I've never seen this issue.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] nico_vo:
I also have the blinking screen issue

It just happens when the brightness is low, no need for auto brightness.

It happens for example when turning the screen on and off, where the bottom half of the screen lights up blinking lots of times
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Ahh,OK. Thanks for clarifying. I always keep my brightness level very low,but not at the minimum. I don't remember ever seeing this,but I can sometimes miss the obvious. [emoji1]
