Did anyone using this ROM manage to fix the low microphone volume problem on apps like WhatsApp? I tried searching for a solution online, and I came across multiple threads describing this problem but with other custom roms like lineageOS. Usually the offered solution was editing the mixer_paths.xml file and adjusting the volume values in it. The only problem is that this file is different for each ROM and so I have no idea which values to edit when it comes to Zapryannov's ROM. Can anyone help?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Lemmi1:
One small question to the user of this rom.

Does it support moving apps to SD card?

Cause right now on 6.0.1 I moved everything that's possible to SD, cause of the small internal memory.

When I don't do this my phone has not enough internal memory to work well.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jackstef:
Yes it works as on MM

Thanks, I used "root battery calibration" app, I'm charging up normally now and very happy with it, purchased aftermarket battery, brand: bikaito for s5, normal capacity 2900mAh, normal size, very pleased with it, holds charge usually full 2 days (web, BT, WiFi) sometimes 3days. It was like straight after charging battery, phone was charging only up to 98%, never reached 100%, and was holding just one day, so no changes between old/new batteries, but after using above mentioned app battery reach 100% and holds a lot better as should to be.

I'm using Nougat N2.1, awesome rom, very quick, all nice, I will stick to this one permanently

Only issues which I found so far are:

- after phone call not always proximity sensor works to wake up screen, and screen remain dim

- "S Health" looks like doesn't count all steps correctly, many times is recording a lot more steps than I done

If anyone know "how to" fix it/calibrate, please let me know

Thanks

could you create a fix for the SIM to work on the g903m / ds model in latin america? please answer

please please please please
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] AnonymousAL:
Im not a dev but i am almost 100% sure he cant because it is made by samsung he can only tweak it not make it work for other devices because it is not co.piled from source code. He can just add features.

Hi,

Has anyone found the solution to increase the microphone volume?

Or, in fact, remove the noise reducer?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] RafaelS5Neo:
but if it can not create, because in the g903f model it is possible to use the SIM? I think the big problem is that you do not want to create a rom for the Latin model g903m :rolleyes:

It looks like Zapryanov abandoned this ROM as he has not replied nor has been seen on the forums for a really long time.

We will just have to make the best of what we have :)

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Zapryanovv:
Hello guys. Sorry for that I was offline long time. So I want you to know that my S5 Neo died, but I think I found solution about 98% instead 100%.

Here it is:

Step 1. You need to charge phone to 100% IN TWRP and do not reboot!

Step 2. Then go to in File Manager (in TWRP) and locate to data/system. You should find batterystats.bin.

Step 3. Delete that file then reboot to system.

Step 4. Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.

Step 5. Then like always charge your phone to 100% and test do you have that problem again.

NOTE: If you have that problem again, you need to repeat this method 3-4 serveral times to fix it.

Can i flash tris rom to the G903m?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nanquan:
Wow Zapryanovv, welcome back! :D

Thank you for the solution, I will try it this week and let you know if it worked for me.

Tell me, do you have a solution to the problem of low mic volume when recording in apps like Whatsapp? I don't have this issue when using Samsung Voice Recorder, but on any other app the voice recording is really low.

I know people say you need to edit the mixer_paths.xml file, but there are so many entries in there I don't know which to change (it is like 2000+ lines of text) :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Zapryanovv:
Haha thank you. Anyway for this problem I took original mixer_paths_rev07 from Marshmallow and try to replace it. (NOTE: Take a backup of full rom before to do it)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nanquan:
Hey Zapryanovv, thanks for the advice! I tried your suggestion by replacing the default mixer_paths.xml file with the one that you attached, then restarted my phone and tested voice recording volume again in WhatsApp - unfortunately there was no change. It's still just as low as it was before :rolleyes:

Do you have any additional thoughts on this? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] GCata88:
Hello and thanks a lot for this rom! I haven't any problem with it and it's very good for my daily use; but it has just a terrible battery! when i used the original rom, i had 5/5,30 hrs of screen, and now I have just 2,30/3 hrs with a very big battery drain (sometimes also 25/30 in standby!!!), so this guide can help to fix this problem too or only the "98%-100%"? thanks a lot again ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mahcin:
No NFC, but anyway ignore it unfortunately, after a while (now, about 2mths) I done tests, and this battery holds about 2100mAh, still brilliant, but... label says 2800mAh... so I keep browsing, currently purchased "Nephy" brand and testing it, if/when I get anything perfect, I'll write here, I do proper deep tests with measurement device.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nanquan:
Thanks for your reply! I think I'm just gonna order a replacement original battery. I found some sellers that offer it on AliExpress. Anyway they claim it is an original and there are many orders with good feedback, so hopefully it'll turn out okay. I'm apprehensive about trying any sort of offbrand as I actully use the NFC finctionality quite often.

HELP!!!!

Hello guys. I flashed this rom on my Galaxy S5 Neo and it shows me a 4g icon when I activate my data when it is really 3g H+ what I only have by my provider. In stock rom it used to shows me H+ but it turns out to be that I flashed back the stock rom and it is stuck on showing me the 4g icon and I want to know how to solve this..please, does anyone know about this issue? Thank you guys...

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

hello buddy. do you know how to get back the 3g icon? becuase I flash back the rom stock and it seems it is stuck the 4g icon becuase it used to show me h+ on my rom stock before flashing this custom rom. Any idea about how to fix this? Thanks..
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] githyanki:
4g is better..... Check your speeds and see what you really have.

In mobile networks, you can select the network mode and set it to 3g only if you want.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Osmel86:
I can't

Hello. Thank you for your reply. The fact is that I set it to 3g and it still shows 4g icon and my provider doesn't support 4g. This happens since I flashed this custom rom. I really need to fix it back.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mahcin:
okay, I'm using it for a while now, so I can do small review:

- very very good rom for daily use, I won't change it for any other.

- I was traveling across Europe, many countries, just with backpack, time was important. I love this phone and rom because in situations when battery was flat, I just replaced battery for another one, and then overnight I was charging it. Lot better than any s6, s7... which You have to use powerbank and loose time.

- Performance: few minutes between bus connection etc, looking informations in google always quick, good performance rom.

- Technical stuff: rom works perfect for me, however I had to check everything after installation, because some things wasn't working (yeah, blame rom - NOT) after wiping all again and installing again those non working things were back working again and never let me down)

- Issue: I done fault myself: never ever let Your free internal memory be less than 2GB, I drop to 500MB of free space due to photos, phone started be slow, hanging, even if I cleared memory, not helped, I had to wipe and install rom again to bring it back to good performance.

So to me is very safe, good rom to use in any condition. I recommend it every one, and thank You Zapryanovv for making it.

Another reason why I don't want upgrade for Galaxy s6.. s7... s8... s9... : check SAR radiation... lol, so bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
Hey, does anyone know if i can just install the ROM and keep the data from my stock 6.0.1 ROM because i have a lot of data and just that is keeping me from installing this ROM? Thanks in advance! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] githyanki:
If your rooted, use Titanium backup. If not, back up as much as you can to your computer, install TWRP (need for this ROM anyways) install magisk, then Titanium backup.

After installing ROM, use Titanium to restore apps and their data. Don't do any system apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] androidissime:
be careful anyway

Titanium bkup does not save some files like your photos (DCIM directory) if they are on the internal card and maybe other files

the best is to do (after the titanium bkup ) a total bkup of your rom with twrp like that if it is necessary you can recover what you want

Battery Drain Fix (Confirmed to Work!)

Using this ROM for many months I have always had one big problem - insane battery drain! Even when phone is in idle, it could drain 20%-30% easily overnight with zero usage. I thought maybe it had to do with my battery being very old (2+ years), but that actually wasn't the problem.

Here are the steps I took which finally lead me to the solution:

1) New battery is not the solution (but it can help). I bought a new original Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo battery (EB-BG903BBE) from a reputable seller on AliExpress.com. And indeed the battery turned out to be legit and working better than my old one. HOWEVER, even though it would last more than my old battery, the crazy power drain would still continue!! This led me to conclude that the battery was not the issue, and so I kept investigating...

2) Uninstalling Facebook & Facebook Messenger almost completely stopped my battery from draining. Apparently these apps are insane resource vampires when running on Android 7. They cannot be fully hibernated (even with Greenify) and constantly work in the background whether your phone is active or not, using crazy amounts of system resources. I don't remember this ever happening when using these apps on Android 6.0.1, but strangely in combination with Android 7 Nougat this problem starts to occur. I know... who would have thought?! Anyway, I replaced them with Facebook Lite and Messenger Lite instead, which work just as well, and ever since my battery % is barely moving anymore (source)

3) No solution for 98% bug. This is more of a side note, but unfortunately there is still no solution to the 98% bug once you unplug your charger. And I can confirm that the method recently shared by Zapryanovv for fixing this (by deleting batterystats.bin) doesn't work. I tried it maybe 10 times. After more research I found an article where a Google Engineer has basically confirmed that wiping batterystats.bin to improve battery performance is just a myth and does absolutely nothing. (source)

4) Use LKT. In my attempts to speed up my device (got tired of laggy performance) I was looking into using GovTuner and setting it for high performance. But ended up using LKT as it works natively with Magisk as a module, and does basically the same thing as GovTuner, only LKT is more recently updated. Anyway I set it to "Turbo" which is the highest setting (as I wanted maximum performance out of my phone - and it worked!), but apparently since it is so optimized the battery life got even better, despite the demand for the highest performance. Highly recommended!!!

5) Reduce Animation Timers. Again more of a side note, but changing the phone's animations from 1 sec to 0.5 secs makes a world of difference in how smooth and fast everything runs. Try it. (source)

My phone now works noticeably faster and smoother, and there is almost no battery drain. Overnight it might drain 1%-3%, where as before is would be 20%-30% easily. I think step #2 was what made the biggest difference. But I think steps #1 and #4 work to improve it even more. Hope this helps some of you!

Yes, in Settings -> General management -> Language and input -> Language - > Add language -> 3-dots menu -> All languages - > Select Polish from the list.

It will download the language and change the display language for your phone. However not everything may appear in polish (like menus etc.).

what version xposed (via twrp) do you recommend to install?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nanquan:
I recommend you install xposed framework via Magisk. It is available in its repository as a module. Makes installation a lot more simple, and you are guaranteed to get the latest compatible version.

At the moment, this rom seems to me the best. What do you think about it?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jackstef:
I used this rom about 1 year and half: it's stable smooth and it's the best samsung rom, but when you add ui mods and tweaks, it starts becoming slow and instable. After 1 year in my case it became very very slow and I could use only 2 app together (spotify and socials). So, some days ago I finally chose to switch on Lineage Os 15.1 and surprisingly it is much much faster than Zapryanov. Now Lineage os it's stable and works very well, in my opinion it beats samsung rom in all (only recorded audio it's better, bc Lineage has some disturbing noise, but it can be tolerated).

In conclusion, definetely Lineage it's better, Oreo it's stable, Pie I don't know but now it's officially supported and will improve!
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] negatyw001:
Is this rom based on 7.1? Apparently, higher versions of the android do not work well with Lucky Patcher.

And what about the quality of phone calls? Apparently roms not based on Samsung are quiet.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jackstef:
Yes it is based on 7.1

does the private folder option works in it?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nanquan:
I've been using it for over a year, and I found it to be the most stable when compared to all the other custom roms. I guess the fact that it's a Samsung ROM designed specifically for this phone really makes a big difference. I tried to lineage OS 15 and also dot OS version 3.1 and had some stability issues having to do with laggy performance and rapid battery drain. Which is not to say that this ROM doesn't tend to suffer from similar difficulties, but in combination with a kernel Governor via Magisk called FDE.AI and also greenify with aggressive doze enabled, I managed to stabilize these issues and the phone for the most part runs very smoothly with very good battery life. I might give lineage OS another go, as people are saying version 16 works very well for them... But for now this ROM is the best one I've tried so far as I am using it to this day.

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jackstef:
Im using LOS 15.1 with Greenify aggressive doze + FDE.AI and battery drain it's quite the same as Samsung ROM.

Now LOS is snappy as Samsung and in long-term it doesn't have troubles. Ram management it's better and more apps can stay in background, maybe because no samsung's apps are installed.

Lastly, LOS it's more customizable and updated
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] negatyw001:
Let's return to the topic of this thread.

What is the volume of phone calls and whether to version 2.1, you need to flash fix v1 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nanquan:
I ended up trying LOS 16 the other day. Yes, many of the issues I previously encountered seem to have been fixed in this version. Works very smooth, no crashes or anything like that.

However personally I ended up switching back to stock Samsung Nougat (Zapruanovv ROM), as I just do not like how bare-bones LOS actually is. Even if I use Nova Launcher to override the awful Tribuchet launcher that comes with LOS, I still hate all the stock apps which seem really dated in every possible way. Samsung just does a much better job with their apps. From contacts, gallery, camera, calendar, clock, notes etc. These are all just so much better. Even if I just install the Google alternatives, while an improvement over the stock LOS apps, there is still no comparison.

So yes, from a stability and overall performance LOS 16 is just as good as stock Samsung. But from a user experience standpoint it just doesn't cut it. At least for me personally. The added features of Android Pie 9.0, while nice, are just not enough of an incentive to make the switch when compared to all the other drawbacks I described above.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jackstef:
Yes, samsung made a good job with his apps, but for some I prefer the minimalistic style of LOS, for others I just use Google alternatives. But it's a personal opinion!
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] negatyw001:
Doesn't rom slow down after uploading xposed?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jackstef:
Los doesn't have troubles, Samsung Rom yes. But it depends on how many customizations do you apply, and be sure that after a long period of use samsung rom becomes very slow
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nanquan:
From my experience that's not necessarily the case. With FDE.AI (Magisk module) and aggressive doze setup under Greenify my device is still just as smooth after a year of usage. I wouldn't recommend using Xposed unless it's absolutely neccesary for you. In my case it is neccesary as I am using XinternalSD app (which requires Xposed framework) in order to have Whatsapp save media on extrnal SD card rather than on the phone itself which only has ~11GB of internal memory. I also use Xposed to enhance Greenify. But that's about it. Haven't encountered any problems with this setup.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] negatyw001:
It seems to me that the volume of phone calls is quieter than in android 6 stock. Do you have that either?
