It's in connected devices
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Massedil:
Thanks, I have disabled it !

Is it a bug that this feature is suddenly activated without the special cover accessory ? Or a failure of my hardware ? How can I test it ?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
Or was there a magnet somewhere near your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Massedil:
Thanks for your reply !

I think there was no magnet near my phone.

But, let's imagine that it was the case, why was I blocked in this mode with the phone in my hands (no magnet here) ?

Is there a way to get out of this mode ?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Tech0308:
It's for if you have a cover with a clear window on it. The current way to get out is to wave a magnet near the recent keys to reset it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Massedil:
I thought that the algorithm was :

- if a magnet is near the phone, the "magnet mode" is displayed

- if there is no magnet near the phone, the "normal Android interface mode" is displayed

That is why I thought that taking the phone in my hand (far away from any hypothetical magnet) should have been put back the phone in the "normal Android interface mode".

So, for now, I don't understand how the "magnet algorithm" is functioning. Someone knows ?

Hi

I'm trying to setup VOWiFi

Edited build.prop and apns-conf.xml (added IMS settings)

But still no registration is sent to ePDG

It seems IPsec lib is missing
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Behemoth1702:
Hey guys,

I wanna try using Cyanogenmod, errrr, Lineage OS on my S5 KLTE again.

I read about GPS issues. What exactly are these issues and how to work around them?

I also read that OFFICIAL Lineage OS builds have all of the hardware working.

So what's true now? Is GPS working? What other hardware issues are known? Back in the day I heard that reverse-engeneering hardware drivers is a pain which is why Cyanogenmod had issues making all hardware work. Is this the same today?

Thank you a ton guys! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
GPS works for my klte. Yes reverse engineering is a pain. Especially for camera. People say you never get same quality as stock. I never use stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Behemoth1702:
Danke sehr for your reply, Kurt! On my S3 I also never used stock, only CM. :)

I wonder - there are also unofficial builds by haggertk for example, how inclided are you to use them? I also see there are LOS 15.1 nightlies, which have recent fixes. That makes me think that the "most up to date" version is the latest nightly. What do you suggest?

Thank you a ton! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
There is not much development for Oreo these days. I normally update in the middle of a month to get security patches.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Behemoth1702:
That makes sense! Do you update using nightlies ?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] aerozeppel:
Pretty sure that's your only option.

Any other way of taking screenshots (without 3rd party apps) instead of holding down power button? My power button is messing actually.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Tech0308:
Depending on if you have Google assistant you can use the share screenshot option
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] ElIT3ShOOT3R:
Thanks for the suggestion. Created a quick tile shortcut through this app (requires root)

S5 15.1 or Unofficial 16.0? - Screenshot Without Using Power Button

All the hardware is working fine on both S5 klte + variants 15.1 official and haggertk's unofficial 16.0 which is in fact on it's way to becoming official & replacing 15.1.

haggertk is the maintainer of S5 15.1 & one of the LineageOS directors.

Check New S5 LineageOS 16.0 haggertk 2019-01-09 Build! - Report & Bugs.

The installation description is the same that I used to install quickly & easily unofficial 16.0 over official 15.1 on my S5 G900M daily driver in November 2018 & I'm not going back to 15.1 anytime soon. Better battery life & only minor bugs IMO.

***

Screenshot Without Using Power Button

On rooted S3 i9300, S5 15.1 & now on 16.0 I also use the microscopic 45 KB download size & 236 KB once installed Screenshot Tile [Root] which is not an app but adds a tile to the Status bar curtain & includes a customizable timer.

I attached a screenshot of the Screenshot Tile [Root] tile made with Screenshot Tile [Root] itself. ;)

It just adds 1 service (ScreenshotTileService) which uses very little RAM (2~3.5 MB in Developer options > Running services > Show cached processes) & does not collect any data or use any CPU in the background contrary to several screenshot apps I tried.

After installing it just expand your Status bar curtain > Edit > drag the Screenshot Tile where you want it, back then long press the Screenshot Tile to change the Timer settings: Instant, 1, 2 or 5 seconds. On that Timer panel there is also More settings to enable or disable Show countdown.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] ElIT3ShOOT3R:
Installed the same app. Thanks anyway! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
I know. That's why I quoted you and wrote "I also use...". ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Behemoth1702:
Thank you for this amazing, detailed reply!

I'm really enjoying 15.1 right now and will check out 16 once it's official.

Thank you again and have a nice day, Mr. Curious!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] ElIT3ShOOT3R:
Idle battery drain is terrible for me. Drained about 40% overnight (8 hrs approx) even in airplane mode. BBS doesn't show any abnormal kernel or partial wakelocks. Baseband is latest and battery set to balanced. What can it be?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Something misbehaving at system level probably. Clean install and refrain from installing stuff like xposed, magisk, SuperSU etc. etc. and see how it goes. If no better you can always restore.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] SlotTech:
Poor Cell network signal

Has anyone else had problems with cell network signal with this ROM?

I find it will disconnect in low signal areas frequently, where the stock firmware(6.0.1) does not. Which led me to try a bunch of other custom ROMs and found the same problem.

My baseband version is DQB2 which is the latest version from the info I can find.

I have performed and clean install with every ROM I have tried and nothing makes a difference.

Does anyone have any insight on why this might happen?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ibuprophen:
I don't have the SM-G900W8 variant myself but, I've seen a similar/same issue elsewhere...

The individual had flashed the incorrect PDA/CSC version on his device.

For example... The G900W8 (Canadian Variant) has a good list of Canadian Providers that all end with "DQB2" but, they do have their differences (whether it's Major or Minor) that can/may affect the Modem Frequencies in some way. If this is the case, this could explain your signal issues as well.

The following image reflects the list of Carriers for the SM-G900W8 device.

View attachment 4700281

If they were all the same, Samsung then has, typically, encompassed the Firmware releases but, as you can see, they kept them separate.

I'm not stating that this is, in fact, the case with your device but, something to consider as a "Possibility"...

I hope I had explained this okay via text. :thumbup:

Good Luck! :)

UNLESS asked to do so, PLEASE don't PM me regarding support. Sent using The ClaRetoX Forum App on my Enigma Machine {aenigma = Latin for "Riddle"}.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] SlotTech:
Good to know. It is a Telus phone but I use koodo, which is the same network and owned by Telus. I'll try a Koodo firmware when I get chance. Not sure It'll make a difference but I'll give it a try then flash lineage os again.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
I've never properly understood this argument. What happens when you trek across Canada with roaming switch on? What happens when you trek across the EU? It just is not practical for me to install a different baseband in my G900F if a want to visit Italy, from the UK, for example. I would assume that the same would be the case for Canada for the SM-G900W8. Obviously, its a different argument for the US Models with Sprint, Verizon etc.

Edit:Lights blue touch paper and retires....... lol
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] SlotTech:
One thing I have noticed using a cell network info app is that the stock firmware will hang on to a LTE connection forever even when signal is getting marginal. The custom ROMs I have tried typically connected to a UMTS network that has way stronger signal.

In some parts of the city the cell network signal just drops though using a custom ROM where the stock firmware will keep connected, so I have a feeling it's not baseband related but I'm no expert. It seems to be the way all custom ROMs deal with network types and signal strength.

The funny thing is when I was using an old Galaxy S3 I had no problems with signal at all on the same carrier network using an unofficial version of lineage os. I just got the S5 a month ago and it has always had issues with the custom ROMs I have tried.

Edit: I have been running the unofficial version Lineage 16 (20190109) with great results so far.

Hi All,

I have installed a rom in my SM-G900F, last week, my screen go black when i receive a call, sensor proximity it's ok with official samsung rom, but with lineage it's out of use, no detection of the sensor in cpu-z, what can i do to solve screen probleme ?

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Behemoth1702:
Hey guys,

I have reported a crash on LineageOS GitLab:

https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/issues/167

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
You have a lot of 'stuff' running on that device. Including a ROM toolkit and Kernel tweakers, suaddon and a different launcher too. Just guessing but I don't think the dev will be hugely impressed. Try running without root and have a clear out of the hacky stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Behemoth1702:
Thank you a lot for your reply!

How can I help myself & the devs to figure out what exactly caused the crash? I am unfamiliar with catlog analysis & especially in kernel's kmsg_last dump. There must be a line somewhere that says "process X error, crash, reboot" but I have no idea how to find it. Can you please point me into a direction where I can learn to analyse this stuff myself a bit? :)

@SU: It's the official SU addon from LinOS, how can this be a cause of crash if it's officially released?

[MENTION=5332893]Rom[/MENTION] Toolkit - I only used it to reboot into recovery from stock rom, never had any crashes on stock. Uninstalled it now, because LinOS has native advanced reboot-options. Thanks for the tip!

[MENTION=336901]Kernel[/MENTION] Tweakers: I only use KernelAuditor to change the IO from cfq to row, that's it. Is this that big of a reason for a crash?

[MENTION=300853]launcher[/MENTION]: Hm, I always deemed Nova Lancher as super stable, never had any issues with it back in CM times or using stock on S5. Will consider not using it, but first I want to figure out what exactly is causing a crash.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Beyond my skill set, but it's normally the first error you need to concentrate on. The subsequent ones are normally caused by the preceding ones and then finally the panic/crash.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Behemoth1702:
Do you mean the first error message connected to an APP or in general? I'm curious, because "error" type messages pop up all the time, even on a fresh install of a stock rom or LinOS. "never change a running system" type of thinking, which is understandable. Programming an OS is crazy work and keeping an eye on all the code is simply impossible.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jiml8:
Just an FYI, and perhaps someone here knows something that I did not know...

Last night, I flashed a brand new G900T over to LOS 15.1. I started by downloading TWRP 3.2.3 and that did not work.

That version of TWRP caused trouble. When flashing the LOS package, along with GAPPS and the su addon, it became non-responsive to the screen which left me unable to control it. After it finished the flash, it got to the screen where it asked me if I wanted a prompt to install the TWRP app, and I could not respond. I finally pulled the battery.

On reboot, it turns out that the LOS firmware flash had not happened; the system booted into the stock firmware.

I rebooted into TWRP and again had no ability to control the app. So I re-flashed TWRP, and went through the procedure again. This time, I kept the screen awake throughout the process, and TWRP again became non-responsive, again requiring a battery pull, but this time LOS had been flashed and when I restarted it began to boot. It hung showing the boot animation.

I started over a third time, this time flashing TWRP 3.2.1 (which is what is running on my G900AZ daily driver), and wiping data, cache, and dalvik, then flashing LOS, gapps, and addonsu. This time it went without incident.

Moral: TWRP 3.2.3 doesn't work, on the G900T anyway. I wonder if it is for use on Android 9/LOS 16 only?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BlueCyclone:
This is strange. I have 2 900Ts and a 900P, and TWRP 3.2.3 works on all of them with no problems flashing anything N, O, or P based.

Have you checked the md5/Sha hash on all your downloads (TWRP, Rom, gapps, etc) to confirm that they are downloaded correctly?

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jiml8:
I did not, and I probably should have. However, it was late, I was tired, and I was getting annoyed. I also thought that I should have checked that before posting here, but by then I had shut down the Windows VM that I used for Odin, and the files are on it. I didn't restart it to check. I will get around to doing that soon because, yes, that is an important detail that I did not check.

Just curious, but why do you have so many S5s? I am deploying a second one because increasingly I use my daily driver as an authorization token, and that gives me a pretty serious single point of failure. My second one becomes a spare that is also approved as an authorization token in all locations where that is needed, so in the event of loss, theft, or failure of my daily driver I'm not out of business.

OTA: Automatic install fails

Thanks for this beautiful ROM. Unfortunately automatic install of OTA does not work. Device reboots into recovery TWRP (3.2.3-0) but nothing more. Manual install is ok for me, but I cannot expect that from others.

Can anybody confirm similar behaviour? Or point me to the right direction to solve the issue? My feeling is that the TWRP version is not compatible.

Edit: I just checked with TWRP (3.2.1-0), same result: Update package is generated, followed by reboot into TWRP. No installation is triggered.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fubo73:
Do you have root? Are you using magisk? Which revision?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] msbln:
Yes, I have root. I'm using

Magisk-v18.1

MagiskManager-v7.0.0

Should I revert to the previous versions

Magisk-v17.1

MagiskManager-v6.1.0

?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fubo73:
No. I had a similar issue after updating LOS 14.1 on a Moto G, it seems a regression of magisk survival procedure.

Take boot.img from LOS package, flash it with TWRP as boot and then reflash Magisk. It should work.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] msbln:
Uninstalling Magisk with Magisk-uninstaller.zip

before re-installing with Magisk-v18.1.zip ?

Edit: I tried both with and without uninstalling Magisk before reinstalling it. Unfortunately with no change in update behaviour. So I did something weird. I uninstalled Magisk and tried to update. But again with the same result. Is Wiping cache/dalvik somehow involved? Because I never did so.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fubo73:
No. I recovered my Moto by flashing boot.img in boot partition with TWRP and then Magisk-18.1.zip again. If you use uninstaller, you would lose all installed magisk modules.

Note: for S5, I am still on 17.3, as it is my daily driver.

ANT+ Support

Hello,

could you enable ANT+ support for klteactivexx? It's supported on stock ROM, and I need it to connect to my sports/fitness equipment.

I have all necessary APPs installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] misquia:
I'm also getting cell signal issues, sometimes it just drops out of nowhere where in the past, the stock ROM didn't have any signal issues. I have the T-Mobile variant and I flashed the KLTE zip.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
What's a T-Mobile variant? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ibuprophen:
That's strange... I didn't encounter any issues with the connection to the Carrier Tower on my G900T device...

Do you have the QC2 Baseband Version on your device?

The T-Mobile variant is the SM-G900T (kltetmo).

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
What are the MCC or MNC values, set in the APN config. This would be relevant. i.e. Carrier and Country.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] misquia:
The baseband version in the settings: G900TUVU1GQC2, so yes I believe so?

Here are the values in the APN config.

MCC: 310

MNC: 260
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
My only suggestion for you, is if you haven't done it already, to double check and verify the APN values directly with T-Mobile. Pay particular attention to upper/lower case.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] floschl:
Have you been able to solve the idle battery drain issue?

I have now already installed LOS 15.1 twice (the last time without Magsik, SuperSU), but there is no difference. I still suffer idle battery drain with about 2%/hour over night. Phone (G900F) is set to airplane mode. BBS does not show me any obvious wakelocks. Latest Baseband (CQK3) is installed. No Custom kernel, no root.

Any ideas? Unfortunately, Stock ROM performed much better in terms of battery life. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] ElIT3ShOOT3R:
No I couldn't fix it unfortunately. The only workaround is to enable extreme power saving mode when you go to sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] floschl:
Did you try out any other custom ROMs and had similar problems?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] ElIT3ShOOT3R:
Not really. But I guess any touchwiz based ROM will have better battery performance than LOS.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] shkedov:
My thoughts so far:

Running amazingly smooth (g9006v - kltechn), I love it! I'm using this phone as my daily one, definitely sticking up with this one. Haggertk and the team you rock!

Few bugs&stuff to report (you can ignore it's ok):

- on display settings when choosing a theme the "accent color" isn't working, just crashes.

- on the home screen, when having more than one screen, can't choose which one of them is the main home one, no option for that.

- no apps drawer options like there used to be.

- cannot find where to disable the "apks from unknown sources". The existing one prevents from apps particularly, it's not the same thing.

- comparing to LOS14.1 and previous, in the quick settings drawer from top, when you tap the connection triangle usually would show the data usage and show a tiny toggle switch at the top. Now when I tap it it toasts me a message "turn off mobile data?". Not comfortable.

- also can't find where to configure the spacing of the quick settings drawer.

- emoji drawer in stock keyboard is pretty ugly to my taste.

All in all amazing work, thank you very much!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lorife:
Hello, I have a question.

Some time ago I have tried one the first LineageOS v15. It did run great, and I loved it, but the battery drain was terrible (half a day) without almost doing anything.

I went back to stock and now the battery lasts for about 1.5 days (in the evening when I go to bed I still have 65%).

So now I'm asking: how is it going now LineageOS with battery drain? Is it any better?

thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] dcarvil:
My battery lasts 1.5 - 2 days using LOS 15.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lorife:
Hello,

thank you for answering.

Did you modify anything or is it with standard ROM settings?

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] dcarvil:
No mods, but I prevent unnecessary apps from starting at boot using privacy guard, and kill background apps when I won't be using them for a while. I also turn radios (wifi, Bluetooth, NFC, etc.) off when not in use, and turn on airplane mode when out of cell range. Using black wallpaper and dark mode for apps that have a dark mode also reduces battery use.

Preparing to Install Fresh

Hi, all, I just received a new G900T and am preparing all the files to flash soon, including the latest official Samsung firmware from Sammobile.com. My only other experience with custom ROMs was with Wicked X and OctOS, both of which required or recommended the official stock firmware ROMs and TWRP recovery to be flashed over using Odin. But neither the stock ROM/minimum required firmware version or Odin is mentioned in the Lineage instructions.

So I'm assuming that the latest firmware is already built into the Lineage ROM apparently ... correct? Would it be best practice to make sure the latest stock ROM/firmware version is flashed before Lineage installation, or would that be completely superfluous considering that the System partition will be wiped before the Lineage flash anyways? Also, could I use Odin instead of Heimdall? Or is it recommended to just follow the Lineage installation instructions to a T? Finally, what is the best source to download the Samsung USB drivers, and what version should it be (because I have seen many different sources with varying versions -- no real obvious official latest versions, etc.).

Thanks in advance, much appreciated!
