So.....

Here it is stricted / working on SM-G903M

And... Its working the dual sim aswell xD
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
i will do a testbuild with the old kernel soon and will test that out with [MENTION=4863874]Incineroar[/MENTION]

great that atleast this part works as intended
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Henrikezika:
That would be awsome

The lag is quite annoying

Feels Like a device with only 1gb RAM
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Henrikezika:
Actually, in memory tab, it doesnt pass 1GB...

Looks like its limited O.o
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Incineroar:
If you can start the build soon I can probably test it this evening - I have to work tomorrow so I'd like to make sure that whatever I'm running is at least mostly stable.

started the testbuild now, will send u an download link later

the kernel has ntfs support but its currently disabled
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Incineroar:
Sounds good, I'll flash it tonight when I'm home from work and see how it works.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Muhngt:
Hello, can you the link of the new build adding ?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Barebonet:
When it will be ready he will also post link to download just wait patiently
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
new build available https://lineage.stricted.net/s5neoltexx

it should be less laggy as the revious ones (thanks to [MENTION=4863874]Incineroar[/MENTION] for testing it)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Incineroar:
Gonna just mention that it does still have a small chance of locking up, although it may take a while (I didn't have a lockup until about 5 hours in after opening a few too many Chrome tabs). I'm having a few other issues too (I won't say what they are so that people won't actively try to recreate the issue) but I'm not sure if it's Magisk just acting up, so if you're having any issues, if you could post them so I can confirm that it's not just me, that'd be super awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LzDoBeaTs:
Does it work on g903m?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
it works on the following devices: SM-G903F, SM-G903M and SM-G903W
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LzDoBeaTs:
(G903M)A friend who tested said that in the last update was very slow, it seems that was when the kernel changed, already had update after or is in improvement?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
read post #648

we improved the kernel and hopefully fixed the issue
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LzDoBeaTs:
What is the date of the last update? Send me the link please I still do not know how to do it right here.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
https://lineage.stricted.net/s5neoltexx

the first one you can see there
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LzDoBeaTs:
Many thanks ♥, I thought this phone had no more salvation
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dantheman1977:
I will try this again tomorrow.......tried the build on the 21st and it was too laggy for me. Have you solved the mms message not sent false notification on the build on the 28th? I appreciate this rom and would like to help you with the bugs but I'm busy with work for the next few weeks......after that if you'd like I can try to assist you squash these :)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Barebonet:
The new build is awesome but efficiency is very low when i start games or apks that require quite a lot from phone
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
I installed but in the first start up it stuck two times but it unfreeze by itself... The third time I had to remove battery.. After restart it looks better now.. it runs smooth but in memory tab it still doesnt pass 1 gb ram is it because its really free or is ot something else

The phone freeze when calling on Fb Messenger

For what it's worth, Samsung's official build of Nougat for the SM-G903W was released today.

Hopefully the official kernel sources will be able to provide some useful information to this project.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
whats the id of the rom?

we might can salvage blobs from it
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Muhngt:
S5 neo Nougat update rolling out now
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] goosnarrggh:
It is reportedly G903WVLU1CQH4

It doesn't look like the direct download is live yet - at least not on sammobile.com (my go-to site).
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
It s online on sammobile for G903W

I cant post links but just select that g903w and its there

Your opinion. What will happen if i install that with odin on g903f
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] malackov:
You can download the firmware on sammobile.com but their regular download services are down till the 29th august
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
"Server maintenance (free server) - August 26 - 28. Premium downloads still available"

can someone with premium download it and upload it for me on mega?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kaodd:
Samfirm works well, dl right now
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kaodd:
on my stock now, now we have to wait for CF. maybe i flash it, realy dunno.

F works in Canada, M should work here.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
What can happen if i flash the w rom on the f model
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
thanks for the hint with samfirm, downloaded it now

will see what we can use from it for the lineageos rim

in the worst case it doesnt boot
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kaodd:
i would wait for root
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
everyone who is interessted

here is the extracted system.img from the nougat rom https://github.com/Stricted/sm-g903f-system/tree/G903WVLU1CQH4
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] fracarol:
Let me say this, I can hardly believe that, Sammy has done some right stuff :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
lets see how its going
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
Flashing on the F model??
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
yep
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kaodd:
root ?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
Waiting for some proffesional advice to flash or not... :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
nope

i wouldnt recommend it right now

i probably ****ed up and bricked my device

"An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software"

and the "Smart Switch PC software" tells me "no supported device"

isnt that great?

edit: alright, download mode still works

edit2: alright only flash boot.img and system.img otherwise it will fail

it boots, i have to test how far it actually works
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
after small basic tests it seems that everything is working (even safetynet passes)

the important thing is to only flash system.img and boot.img (etract them from the tar.md5 and create a new tar archive only with system.img and boot.img)

otherweise odin says "FAIL" or you might even soft brick your phone
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kaodd:
have seen that several times in the past. only dl mode worked, take out the battery makes no difference. Strange ! but my Neo is still alive :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Henrikezika:
Huh, stricted

I'm using Your lineageos last version

And... Videos aren't playing (streaming on YouTube and others)

Could It be relationed with the version of my phone? (903M)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
that could be possible, i need logs to maybe see whats actually going on
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Eti29:
Just downloaded the link u posted but i cant flash it with odin. Can someone tell me how to do it thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
you have to flash it with twrp and not with odin
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Eti29:
Ok thanks will do that now
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Sbodezzi:
Is flashing System.img enought? Or i need to flash boot.img too?

You advice to try it? How is the Experience?

Devices:

Moto G 2015 : Cyanogenmod 13 rooted

S5 NEO : LineageOS 14.1 rooted without any Google service
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
Please can you make one zip for me to flash with twrp please because i am not in home and dont have a pc around.. please upload it somewhere!

What sould i wipe to flash that?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LzDoBeaTs:
My friend said he is not playing videos in general.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Incineroar:
[MENTION=8184192]Stricted[/MENTION] If you're able to get a new build with Nougat blobs I can test it for you and see how well it's working.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
i would flash both because the bot.img contains the kernel

for lineageos you have to use twrp and for the samsung nougat you have to use odin

also i recommend to wipe everything
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
So how did you flashed the samsung nougat? Can you upload the files you used because i dont know what to extract... and if you can the way of doing that
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Incineroar:
I think he used Odin to flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
Yes but he told that .. doing that bricked the device... flash only boot and system img.. that the thing i dont know how to do... or i hav e get that wrong
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Emre67511:
You have to extract the images from the downloaded fimware file 7zip is able to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
https://images.stricted.net/misc/G903WVLU1CQH4_G903WOYA1CQH4_G903WVLU1CQH4_HOME.tar

here it is (contains only system.img and boot.img)

just choose it in odin as usual and flash it, after that boot to twrp and wipe everything except system and you can boot to nougat
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
Thanks... You are awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Emre67511:
Could the firmware harm the device because it is made for the g903w or can we flash it without fear ?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
thats why we are only flashing boot.img and system.img

everything else can possible damage the phone
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Incineroar:
[MENTION=3392185]kaodd[/MENTION] [MENTION=8184192]Stricted[/MENTION] I see that you both found root isn't working. Have either of you got TWRP at least? Perhaps you can try rooting with Magisk and see if that works.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
i have twrp sure

i tried rooting, but after that wifi and adb didnt work anymore

i might try magisk later
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
So everythink looks fine with samsung nougat huh.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Incineroar:
Except for TouchWiz.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Lex_Corp:
Sorry, this may be a dumb question but it's safe to download odin from sammobile right?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
thats because samsung created the phone and has sourcecode for everything

i have to tinker around to get it working

so guess wo gets it better done
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
with magisk i was able to get root (see attachment)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Incineroar:
Sweet. WiFi looks to be working, how about ADB?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
wifi works, adb works, gps works and root works ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Incineroar:
Awesome. Can't wait to see how well Lineage will work with Nougat blobs!
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Lex_Corp:
is sammobile a safe place to download odin from?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kaodd:
but after flashing with odin twrp is gone afaik
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Incineroar:
I think what you do is flash the Nougat image, then manually flash TWRP back on using Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kaodd:
yepp

oh man, ofc, omg. once a newbie, always a newbie LOL.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Incineroar:
Don't worry. I haven't used Odin in a while, but I don't think I'll be using it and going back to the stock ROM. I use my phone as a daily device and I vastly prefer Lineage over TouchWiz and I won't go back to it.

Also, I wonder if anyone would use the device trees to try building AOSP and perhaps attempt building Oreo for the S5 Neo... :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
i didnt even needed to reflash twrp

i will build oreo as soon as lineageos supports it
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Incineroar:
Ah. I'm mostly thinking about having it for a nice little preview, that is if it even works. I did try building Lineage back when you were starting but I don't think I even set it up right...
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kaodd:
keep cool buddy. first a flawless LOS ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Incineroar:
I have a feeling that now that we have official Nougat that these bugs won't take long to fix now.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
had a quick look over the blobs

maybe it will fix a few bugs but it will probably change nothing at the audio bug
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Incineroar:
Well, we won't know until we build it and test it haha

(Not that I'm rushing you or anything, but it's exciting that they finally got Nougat released so more can be done)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
thats true, will update everything in the net days for the new blobs (a few things changed there)

edit: as a side note, the test if the samsung nougat works on the G903F model was only to see if the blobs are actually usable for the lineageos rom :D
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Incineroar:
Sounds good. Once you have a chance to make a build, send me a PM and I can give it a whirl and see where it stands.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
i started to update the files for the nougat blobs

https://github.com/Exynos7580/android_device_samsung_s5neoltexx/compare/nougat-blobs?expand=1

will try to make an testbuild later (need to check if nothing is missing)

also i send a request for the kernel source to samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Incineroar:
Alright. I'll be heading to bed shortly, but I'll check my emails in the morning for any XDA emails.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kaodd:
in theory i can flash nougat system.img and boot.img with twrp, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
if you figure out how to do that sure

i have no idea how to get that system.img in place with twrp
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kaodd:
you can flash .img without any problems, i'm gonna try.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:
tell me how its going

btw. besides updating the blobs im setting up an oreo build system now (i will try later to build oreo)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kaodd:
boot.img flashed without problems, system.img = size is larger than target device, bamm

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

so i need .tar file anyway, but i've no clue how to do
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stricted:

the system.img ist an simg and not an raw image

so you actually cant flash is directly with twrp ;)

FrankoPrifti, how exactly ?

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
When you open twrp check out the version number on the bottom...

After that go to wipe section and check cache dalvik cache system everything except storage

Than go to install add zip or select zip find the lineage zip you have downloaded add more zips select gaps package you have downloaded from opengapps.org then swipe and give it some time...

If you do not have the 3.1.1.2 twrp search on google twrp for s5 neo and find the downloads section

Then select server eu or us and then download twrp.3.1.1.2.........img

Then boot on recovery install zip and install the twrp you just downloaded... then follow the previous steps
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nekotitix:
thanks it work but my phone reboot since 5 min now with the lineage logo...

no its good thanks you !

Lol :p

What an answer :p
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Incineroar:
And for what it's worth, that's an optimistic answer. It could possibly even break stuff too.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
New blobs can fix issues depending on what it's for. On s4 m to N they used new blobs to fix Bluetooth issues. So that's one thing

Its possible to reinstall samsungs apps like "music"/"picture" with this rom ?

More than likely not. Those require TouchWiz's framework to be installed, unless someone can mod them to remove that dependency without breaking the app.
