Re: Low Volume Recording or Playback?

You forgot to mention your phone model, which sound mods you tried and on which app you have a low volume recording problem. ;)

Is your phone naked or are you using a protective back cover?

The main mic hole is located next to the USB port & I burned a hole for it in my thin silicone cover.

On stock LineageOS 15.1 klte on S5 G900M build 2018-11-06 @ the present + Open GApps Pico + Lineage su addon without any system modifications the only sound problem I have is when playing back my own voice notes recorded in & played back in WhatsApp on speaker while is OK on headsets or played back using an other app.

Playback of my voice notes on WhatsApp for PC is also fine.

The receivers of my voice notes are earing them @ a normal volume on their phone.

Check:

WhatsApp Mic, Playback Volume Quirk & Tests (includes apps with mic gain)

Low Tech Instant Mic Gain

Re: WhatsApp Voice Note Playback Volume & mixer_paths.xml Mod

Please report if you fix your problem or not. :cool:

Thank you for responding, I will try what you have told me.

I indicate the data you request

- SM G900F

- Lineage os 15.1 build 20181106 KLTE + Open GApps Micro + Lineage Su addon without modifications in the system

- Smart Kernel with the latest profile published here in the forum

- Protective cover with holes in the two microphones and I have cleaned telephone and cover holes

The problem is in the voice notes of the recorder and the whatsapp

To discard physical problems recover backup of the rom that was before HTC Rom and the recordings work perfectly, so the problem in my terminal must be something of the software I want to think.

This afternoon I test the applications you mention and comment on results

Thank you

Re: Low Volume Recording - Custom Kernel

Thanks :good: for the additional troubleshooting info.

You did not say which mods you tried & if you returned to stock settings.

"...without modifications in the system - Smart Kernel" - A custom kernel is a major system modification. :)

Maybe you are talking about the SmartPack Kernel? If so a mic search in SmartPack [Kernel] GCC-8.x for Lineage OS-14.1/15.1/16 [kltexxx] returns some interesting posts.

Since I use the LOS stock kernel I cannot comment any further on custom kernels.

The stock LineageOS Recorder works fine on my S5 900M w/ stock LOS 15.1 klte but third-party recording apps as described in WhatsApp Mic, Playback Volume Quirk & Tests can produce better quality files.

For example I just copied a recording made w/ LineageOS Recorder from sdcard/Music/SoundRecords to RecForge's recordings folder in sdcard & looking in RecForge's play panel it says My recording...wav pcm_s16le - 8000Hz - 128kb/s while RecForge's files w/ best recording settings says ...wav pcm_s16le - 44100Hz - 713~745kb/s.

Those are larger files obviously but they sound much better on speaker or headset.

Hey all,

My fault I installed a camera mod the a2 one without making a recent backup (the first time I ran it it worked though the second flash didn't so much. My camera now looks blurry. I do have a backup from last month that I can restore if I can't do anything else.

Thanks.

Which route S you add ons should we download and Flash. I think the S5 hardware is a 64 bit CPU (I could be wrong) but I heard that lineage OS is a 32 bit rom
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] devilhopper:
Correction: This is actually a bug in the KLTEDUOS version of LineageOS. Reflashing does NOT fix it, nor does a factory reset, let alone a complete reinstallation (that is, unless any of these measures temporarily reset the SIM card settings - see below).

Bug appears when you set SIM Card 1 as the default for phone calls and text messages, but SIM Card 2 as the default for data. Result: When you make a phone call, you will not be able to hear anything. Set SIM Card 1 as the default for data as well, and phone calls work fine.

How can I report this? Seems like this thread isn't actually monitored for bugs, and last time I checked, the bug reporting procedure for LineageOS was so cumbersome (everyone wait for some "bug reporting day", but nobody being able to tell you when it is) that I basically had to give up on it.

Is it just me, or did the 11/12/2018 update do something with the fingerprint scanner? I've deleted and recreated my thumbprint three times now, but the lock screen gives me the "Couldn't process fingerprint" error repeatedly.

G900V, latest firmware and baseband, using MindTheGapps and Magisk, and I'm running the Adreno driver beta update and the Tuned kernel. I'll reflash the ROM without the latter two mods to see if I get any results, but I figure I'll see if anyone else is having issues while I'm here.

Edit: Well, whatever it was, it seems to be rectified. After using a pattern unlock for about a week, I installed a build from (I think) 11/19, set up fp, and it's worked fine ever since. Hiccup ?

Will klte get some power saving attention on 15.1? Power consumption between 14.x and 15.x has slightly worsened. From all of the talk on the unofficial 15.1 thread, I understood that various mods like 'greenify' and kernel patches can make the klte achieve deep sleep and other power saving niceties. What prevents these being baked in? Just someone to show the klte codebase some appropriate loving?

Daily Builds Including Some With No Changes

Oh no! LineageOS 14.1 devices where plagued recently with 2~3 weekly builds without any changes every month & thousands of users blindly updating without checking the changelog were wasting their time & data downloading & installing them as discussed in this LineageOS subreddit thread: Why Make LineageOS Builds With Zero Changes?.

Now it's LineageOS 15.1 who will get several daily builds without any changes. :rolleyes:

So I suggest to check in Settings > System > About phone > LineageOS updates > 3-dots > Show changelog or visit https://download.lineageos.org/klte/changes/ because that first daily lineage-15.1-20181113-nightly-klte-signed.zip has exactly zero changes as seen in the screenshots. :eek:

It is necessary to be in the latest bootloader and modem. My device details is in the given screenshot. Someone kindly let me know that there is any latest version released for my device. Csc is ksa.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
I've always thought it was a hangover from 2G/3G GSM World Coverage. The thing is, being in the EU I'm a bit spoilt by regulation vs. the US which seems horribly fragmented, to the point where the International version (900F) won't work at all well in the US.

I've a vague recollection of [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] saying that he uses the Dutch? modem for EU and another countries for Caribbean and South America for the 900F. but that was long ago..... and my memory is fuzzy.

But it's certainly best advice to used the matched pair as per the latest Samsung release where possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
Re: Most Recent Modem = Best Modem?

But you are not using the latest Samsung firmware release @ the present on your SM-G900F as per the updato link above the most recent @ the present is Sri Lanka (SLK) Oct 05, 18: modem G900FXXS1CQAB & bootloader (aboot) G900FXXU1CRH1. ;)

Sammobile says the same thing: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s5/SM-G900F/

You are using "the latest Samsung release" for your region United Kingdom BTU: "Baseband: G900FXXU1CQK3 Bootloader: G900FXXU1CRH1".

And after testing, the most recent modem for my region G900MUUB1CQC1 works best.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
lol. I last checked in September! Given the age of the device we are really, really spoilt having so many updates to keep track of. I've found over time that these incremental updates nearly always have a positive impact on battery. But, equally, I suppose, there maybe a risk too as the devs will probably not have tested fully.

Re: Daily Builds With No Changes - Different File Size?

I checked for some other 15.1 devices & it's the same no changes shown problem.

For example the OnePlus One bacon Downloads:

lineage-15.1-20181114-nightly-bacon-signed.zip 349.05 MB - No changes

lineage-15.1-20181113-nightly-bacon-signed.zip 349.01 MB - No changes

In the LineageOS subreddit TimSchumi (Team Member Legacy Versions) posted here about the LOS blog currently missing: "We're currently moving things around. Stay tuned!" and here: "This is a infrastructure test at this point, there is no guarantee that we will keep doing nightlies."

Edit: [MENTION=660982]fubo73[/MENTION] I created a thread about it in the LineageOS subreddit Daily Builds Not Showing Any Changes - klte & bacon Example and TimSchumi replied: "There are no changes. The changelog is accurate, check Gerrit if you want."

To which I replied: But then why do the file size change if it is only the buildinfo.sh > build.prop which contains the date of the build that is different?

Edit 2: He replied "There are multiple timestamps all over the place, which may or may not cause differences in how the file is being compressed."

Finally 3 minor changes in daily build lineage-15.1-20181115-nightly-klte-signed.zip:

Add button to shut down device

Release the wakelock before worker thread termination (may help battery life in some rare cases)

thermalservice: run as user+group system, not root

GApps broken after Lineage OS 15.1 update

Recently upgraded to a Galaxy S5 and was able to flash Lineage OS 15.1 and a GApps package with no problem. But what I found is that every time Lineage OS updates I get a spam of notifications saying something along the lines of "[app name] won't work without google play services, which aren't currently installed". Is there any way to remedy this or do I just need to re-flash GApps every time I update?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Both LineageOS and Gapps have to be installed simultaneously initially, before first boot. Then everything will be fine. It sounds like you have installed Gapps after first boot.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] ShaunCB:
Does this mean I need to reflash GApps everytime Lineage OS updates itself? If so do I just reboot to recovery after the update and flash GApps or do I need to wipe anything?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
No. Installing Gapps is a one time deal. Google has pretty much much full control thereafter and will update components as they think fit. All this will survive a LineageOS update.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] ShaunCB:
Unfortunately this isn't the case for me, I get the errors after an update, I was wondering if there is a reason for this and how to safely reflash GApps after an update without data loss.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Just clean install and have done with it if you value your sanity.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] sunilpaulmathew:
It is supposed to NOT happen unless you are dirty flashing between different android versions. e.g. dirty flash LOS 15.1 (Oreo) over 14.1 (Nougat).

Hey guys, out of curiosity, how long does it take for you all to boot lineage (stock kernel/no add-ons)? I've got a klte and it takes 35 sec on the Samsung logo and 1 min 05 sec in total to boot up. Is this normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] vectra246:
For me it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
That's normal. I recall some race condition at boot-up. The short term fix was to just allow one core to operate during boot, which slows it down somewhat. It's probably on someone's very long todo list. I think it's todo with this, but beyond me to understand or fix!

lol https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/LineageOS/android_device_samsung_klte-common/+/202457/
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lobsturf8200:
Interesting indeed, I wonder how you remember everything in detail? xD Thanks a ton for the info :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Going back 18 months or so it was fairly easy to keep track of things on Gerrit. You could see what people were working on because when each iteration was pushed and you could see the contributions and comments etc.

I've been interested to the point that I've got a Linux box setup and can build. And actually submitted a single patch for klte GPS!!!! But with all the 16.0 work it's just too much up in the air. Each repo sync causes me subtle changes which need to be sorted, it's very basic stuff but just too time consuming for me, as a novice, to resolve each time.

Hopefully, once 16.0 has been released and things settle and I'll get a little more involved. I think just lurking on XDA and places is the key to getting a better understanding.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
Thanks haggertk.

Edit: as you can see there was no changes in the previous 3 daily builds so that's why I always check the changelog before wasting time downloading & installing builds with no changes:

Changes included in lineage-15.1-20181120-nightly-klte-signed.zip - NO changes

Changes included in lineage-15.1-20181119-nightly-klte-signed.zip - NO changes

Changes included in lineage-15.1-20181118-nightly-klte-signed.zip - NO changes

For me it's not worth updating to 2018-11-21 just for that single rotation fix so I'll wait for a build with more significant changes.

Disappearing Icons after LOS-Update

First of all, I have to say the following:

1.) Many thanks to the developers - we have a great ROM.

2.) The support in this forum is sensational (among others by TheFixItMan, curiousrom, fitittome and all the others who help here every day)! I've probably had dozens of different Android smartphones with LineageOS, but as fast as here, nowhere has been helped yet.

So now for my problem:

After every LOS-update different icons disappear from the surface.

The apps are still installed and working fine, but the icons are gone and I have to rearrange each time these icons.

I thought it might be due to my adoptable storage with full-disk encryption (FDE), so I manually started the last update from the TWRP (where the DATA partition is decrypted) ... but unfortunately a dozen icons disappeared again.

Annoying!

Does somebody has any idea how to fix it or what the root cause is?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
I think its to do with adoptable storage and the time it takes to mount the SD Card. i.e. Its not ready before the Home App loads. I guess the apps with missing icons are on the SD Card. No idea how to resolve but I avoid Adoptable Storage like the plague, it always ends in tears.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jiml8:
This could be right. I use adoptable storage routinely (a 64GB Sandisk SD card) and I don't have any trouble with it, except for sometimes on boot when it does take a loooong time to mount.

I run Nova launcher, and for me those apps that are on the SD card show as greyed out until the mount is completed. Once the mount is completed, almost always those apps change to the appropriate color. Rarely, after waiting for a bit, I have to restart Nova launcher to get the icons to show color.

OP might consider trying Nova launcher instead of the built-in launcher. That would represent one way around the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jerfsonpaiva:
Thanks.

I think the problem is low free internal storage like you mentioned. I tried many things and nothing had work. Only wipying all and installing again (fresh install) made works. II'm back to LOS 14.1, for better battery, and waiting for PIE.
