Just how stable is this ROM currently? Under the 'Bugs' section in the OP there is nothing, does that mean we have fully functioning Android 9 already?

Also, how is battery compared to stock MM or LOS 14.1?

I'm excited by the possibility of Pie but this is my only phone so need it to work properly!

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
I'm running it pretty hard. No encryption. It's very stable, can't fault it. There are huge amount of changes yet to be merged but I'm prepared to tough it out in order to help provide some reliable feedback. I think battery is better than 15.1 but haven't measured it yet.

At this stage its pointless complaining if you run any system changing addons like Magisk or even Gapps. Whilst they should all work if you discover problems you will have to clean install to test before submitting a logcat.

The whole purpose of these releases are to ensure the core 16.0 OS is stable and reliable.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] rustemy:
Well I'm using is as my daily driver since [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] released "lineage-16.0-20181019-UNOFFICIAL-kltedv". I also flashed dirty. I know it really should not be running this well but after the initial problems with some Google apps (reflashed Gapps) it has been quiet excellent.

Like I said, apart from the initial problems and the known battery drain associated with Android 9, this is a good daily for me. (Your mileage may vary, If your phone blows up and kills your cat, it is not my fault)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] haoyangw:
1st qn: yes, it is fully stable, just minor bluetooth problems, no SELinux and no encryption support 2nd qn: Worst than both stock MM and 14.1, but better than 15.1. I find the battery life acceptable though

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] sternechamere:
Just installed on G900P and it's working nicely. Thanks!

One odd thing I noticed: I can't get to the option to show battery percentage in the status bar despite it appearing when I search for it in settings. Probably meaningless.

Having the most recent radio/modem/baseband on your S5 may help phone but also WiFi, Bluetooth & GPS performance & battery usage. See S5 Odin Flashable Modem & Bootloader.

In About phone > Android version > what is the baseband?

Have you tried on 2.4 GHz WiFi networks?

***
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ermtrek1:
Thanks for your reply.

I have an older one from 2017 there is a recent one indeed. (I'm sorry not posting it I'm writing this post from a tablet)

Correct me if I'm wrong but baseband does not only apply to GSM, LTE etc radio ?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ermtrek1:
I've flashed and apparently it did not solve despite showing the new baseband.

I will try to work around this issue as it appears to be related to sysctl, probably a small amount of people is affected.

So basically this variable is missing drop_unicast_in_l2_multicast

According to sysctl explorer it has the default value of 0

I am trying a plethora of sysctl arguments in Termux to try to create that.

More info:

As I can't post links you can search sysctl-explorer.net + drop_unicast_in_l2_multicast

Edit: Ironically I found a source code that seems to fix this in lineage github... But for one plus

LineageOS 16.0 klte Update 2020-06-28

FYI there is an update 2020-06-28 available for the S5 klte variants.

Checking the changelog https://download.lineageos.org/klte/changes/ there is a bunch of changes related to the GPS & Wifi in the kernel used by the S5 klte & variants running LineageOS. I attached a screenshot for posterity as that page changes all the time.

I used the built-in OTA Updater & everything went smoothly as usual but of note it took 8 minutes to complete from the moment I clicked Install to full automatic reboot to System. This may vary depending on your setup & number of apps installed.

Wifi Problems

I have nothing similar in my logcats. It may depend on the router's settings & Wifi network.

What Wifi problems do you have in plain English?

You did not reply to my question: Have you tried on 2.4 GHz WiFi networks?

FYI there are some changes related to unicast, multicast & sysctl in that update:

ipv6: add option to drop unicast encapsulated in L2 multicast - android_kernel_samsung_msm8974

ipv4: add option to drop unicast encapsulated in L2 multicast - android_kernel_samsung_msm8974

And others also.

lineageOS 16.x with microG for klte?

Is there a version of lineageOS 16.x for microG which works with klte (SM-G900T)?

Please forgive me if this is documented somewhere and I overlooked it in my recent searches.

I'm also willing to try a version other than 16.x, if that is the only microG-based lineageOS which will work on my klte device.

Thank you in advance.

UPDATE: I spoke too soon. I found this ...

LineageOS 16.0 Update 2020-07-05 adds GLONASS to GPS

FYI there is an update 2020-07-05 available for the S5 klte variants.

Checking the changelog https://download.lineageos.org/klte/changes/ there are several changes related to the GPS including gnss-legacy: Bring back GLONASS. I attached a screenshot for posterity as that page changes all the time.

That reminded me of a discussion with [MENTION=9661306]wireroot[/MENTION] in April 2019 where he wrote in his post here:

I downloaded the update via the built-in Updater but before applying it: > Location > High accuracy, disabled Wifi & Bluetooth scan, went outdoor with an unobstructed view of the sky then I used GPS Test by Chartcross > 3-dots > AGPS Update & Satellite filter > GLONASS to confirm that they were not used for the fix, updated LineageOS & re-did the GPS test to confirm that they are now enabled as seen in the screenshots.

I think I'm getting stronger GLONASS S/N signals & a quicker fix but then conditions changes all the time as the earth moves so maybe it's just a placebo effect.

With the app GPSTest by barbeau (Play & F-Droid links) you can also see which satellites are "Used in fix" but it does not have a filter. (screenshots)

[MENTION=7372760]NeuesS5[/MENTION] was also part of the GLONASS discussion so if he still has his S5 maybe he could test also?

Thank you to the Lineage Team & especially Mr. [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] (who made those GPS patches) for keeping our old S5 up to date & adding some features here & there on occasion. :good::cool:

LineageOS 16.0 Update 2020-07-05 G900I

I finally managed to install LineageOS via TWRP 3.4.0. on my G900I.

It seems for me a reboot is required after performing a wipe in order for the install to work.

Now my issue is WiFi will not come on. My IMEI & Bluetooth address is fine but my MAC address is 02:00:00:00:00:00.

When you turn it on it finds nothings for a short period then turns off. I have reinstalled the ROM, wiped many times still no change.

Someone else posted the same problem but no solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
TWRP 3.4.0 - G900I & WiFi Problem

I did not try the TWRP update yet because the S5 is my daily driver & it seems that according to the changelog the changes are mainly for supporting Android 10 & TWRP 3.3.1-0 is proven to work fine on S5 Android 9 (LOS 16.0) except for the TWRP app install option that causes bootloops (don't do it!): TWRP 3.4.0-0 Released.

I prefer to wait & see bug reports & fixes unless official LineageOS 17.1 for S5 comes out.

About your Wifi problems see S5 super clean install including it's links to modem & bootloader update and EFS restore + Format Data notes.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] taurui:
Hi everyone,

Running a clean install of LOS16.0 from 5th of July on klte. Sometimes, when I am being called and accept, I just get a blank screen. In the systray (or whatever you call that ribbon at the top) I can still see the call icon with the options to accept or decline, but it does not accept any input. The system stops responding then and I can not get to the launcher anymore. "App is not reacting" shows up shortly afterwards, but I still can not choose anything.... the only way to get my phone working again is to remove the battery and restart the phone (even pressing the lock button really long is not helping).

Any idea what is going on there?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Nobby1960:
No, there isn't a solution. Lineage based ROMs have this issue since 14.1. The reason is, Samsung will not publish the sourcecode for all drivers. If you will a stable Bluetooth connection, you must flash a modded stock based ROM and the Covid 19 app works flawless.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] s5kltes5:
Since the update (glonass fix is ok) my klte shows the wrong elevation. In the app GPSTest by barbeau there is a difference between the two elevations. MSL seems ok, the gps elevation ist neerly 50 meters to high.

Its not a klte problem, my tablet shows the same frong elevation. Can you confirm that?

LineageOS 16.0 Update 2020-07-12 & GPS Altitude

FYI there is an update 2020-07-12 available for the S5 klte variants.

Checking the changelog https://download.lineageos.org/klte/changes/ there are NO changes since update 2020-07-05 so there are no reasons to install it if you are already running 2020-07-05.

I attached a screenshot for posterity as that page changes all the time.

There is a commit Bump Security String to 2020-07-05 currently with the label Active top left of the page which means it's under review & it needs to be tested before the status is changed to Merged. It will probably be included in next week's update if all goes well.

GPS & Altitude?

The changes as described in LineageOS 16.0 Update 2020-07-05 adds GLONASS to GPS did not affect the altitude data on my S5 G900M klte as illustrated in the side-by-side attachments. All tests made outdoor with an unobstructed view of the sky, GPS only.

GPSTest by barbeau 2019-04-06 vs. 2020-07-12.

GPS Test by Chartcross 2019-04-06 vs. 2020-07-12.

GPS Test by Chartcross 2020-07-12 on S3 i9300 running LineageOS 14.1 build 2019-02-17.

According to https://www.gsa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/gps-test-app-definition.pdf :

Naturally there are some slight variations between the tests but they are all around 1,320 meters because I live in a village in the mountains of Costa Rica.

Variations may depend on your actual hardware, modem firmware, location, weather, app, etc, etc.

Did you try with with other apps & made sure to NOT select Battery saving mode in Location?

Can't wait to check the altitude at sea level on the beach but thanks to the fuzzing covid-19, beaches here have restricted access only from 5h am till 9h30 am which makes a trip there not worth the trouble at the present. :(

What is your exact S5 model? The LineageOS klte is a unified ROM that supports various S5 models as you can see in https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/klte

Check S5 Odin Flashable Modem & Bootloader as recent vendor's firmware may help the GPS radio.

Because you have less than 10 posts @ the present you can't post links or attach images & documents as per XDA's rules I think. You can post anything in the XDA Off-topic forum until you reach 10 posts: https://xdaforums.com/general/off-topic.

Sometimes I use the FitoTrack-app for bicycling the same track to work.

On april 2020-04-07 it was ok like before, 163 meter ascent, 147 meter decent. In july 5 meter ascent, 27,7 "kilo"meters decent. This could not be.

I thought it was an app update. But than I thought it could be the lineageos update.

http://maps.openrouteservice.org shows me an elevation of 115 meters (this is nearly correct), SatStat or GpsTest app shows 170 meters. (what about the sea-level-sensor is 50 meters less?)

Today on my test-S5 SM-G900F I went back to all previous lineageos-es. With lineage-16.0-20200405-nightly-klte-signed.zip the elevation is not ok. The track on april 2020-04-07 was ok.

Conclusion: it has nothing to do with Glonass.

From where came the 50 meters difference? I have no idea. May be the FitoTrack-app is still wrong.

Thank You very much for Your replay.

Are there any root privilege tweaks you can use to disable wifi scanning limits?

Not upgrading to Android Q yet until it's done, just wondering if there are any workarounds.

There's a trick where you can splitscreen the wifi settings pane and your wifi analyzer app. It's better than nothing but not fast enough.

sm-g900i

I decided to give Android 10 a break and return to Pie.

After a format and advanced clean I flashed 20200712 kltedv build ONLY.

No gapps, nanodroid, root or custom kernel.

Installed Aurora Store which has all I need. My gmail accounts are forwarded to my e.email accounts.

Contacts backed up to ecloud.

Here We Go Maps and Magic Earth for maps.

I took a road trip today and GPS for maps worked with no problem. Streamed music and podcasts from TuneIn Radio and Podcast Addict with no drop outs, crashes etc.. BT calls in and out worked flawlessly.

Overall a basic but wonderful ROM. Speedy and smooth with fantastic battery life, (no idea of SOT as I don't worry about such things)

Sometimes its nice to forget about the fluff and stuff customisation's and enjoy my 6 year old device as a phone with a real nice camera.

Many thanks to the Lineage team for the work you do and also to [MENTION=4122877]curiousrom[/MENTION] for your in depth analysis and assistance for us ROM hoppers. Much appreciated!

LineageOS 16.0 Update 2020-07-19 - Security Bump

FYI the monthly Android security patch Bump Security String to 2020-07-05 was merged & is included in LineageOS 16.0 for the S5 klte + variants build 2020-07-14 or newer as you can see in your model's changelog. For example: https://download.lineageos.org/klte/changes/

See Android Security Bulletin—July 2020 for details about the security fixes.

I updated to LineageOS 2020-07-19 via the built-in LineageOS OTA Updater a Galaxy S5 G900M LineageOS 16.0 klte running build 2020-07-05 + Open GApps Pico + LineageOS AddonSU, no custom kernel or system mods of any kind & everything went smoothly as usual.

Of note from the moment I clicked OK to install to full boot to system after the automated flashing in TWRP it took 7 minutes instead of the usual +- 5 minutes. That may vary depending on your setup.

After the automatic reboot as seen in the screenshot > Settings > About phone > press on Android version 9 > Android security patch level: July 5, 2020.

View attachment 5063619

The Vendor security patch level remains @ August 1, 2017 because the vendor is Samsung & it is not publishing security patches for it's S5 proprietary hardware related blobs anymore since August 2017.

Thank you to the Lineage Team & Mr. haggertk (who made that bump security patch) for keeping our old S5 up to date. :good::cool:

Same issue here with TWRP 3.4.0 on my G900P. After wipe cache and dalvik cache and then trying to flash a rom update i get "Error 7: ..." on TWRP. I Rebooted again to TWRP and flash the rom without new wipes and no issues on install.

I'm probably going to upgrade from my Galaxy S5 in the next month or two, mainly because the camera quality is just bad compared to modern phones. I still love it and LineageOS has kept the phone relevant all these years. I must say though that using my wife's phone is a bit of a revelation when it comes to performance. I can actually load an app or web page and it opens near-instantly, which is a bit of a rarity on this old workhorse. Google Maps is the best example, it's just soooo slooooow on the S5. I'll miss it, but I'll also enjoy the speed boost. :D

[MENTION=5311858]NHK[/MENTION]

I installed the Android discord app and I created a user ID, and I can log in with no problem. But I also am trying to use the Linux desktop version. The desktop version has me in an infinite ReCaptcha loop. I enter the user ID and password which work for me in the Android app into the desktop app's login screen, and it then gives me an "I am not a robot" prompt which sends me to the ReCaptcha challenges. I am correctly responding to the challenges and it accepts. Then it gives me an "I am not a robot" prompt again and sends me back to the ReCaptcha challenges. This ReCapcha challenge procedure repeats over and over, and I cannot log in from my desktop.

With all this confusion, I now understand why this app is called "discord". :)

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] SmgKhOaRn:
I never had a problem like that though. That's strange. Did you try reinstalling?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] HippoMan:
I just gave up on the ReCaptcha-based login and did it via the QR code through the app, and now that worked. If I have any further issues, I'll try the re-install.

Thank you very much!

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] HippoMan:
Thank you. I'm not using a VPN, but I am using a proxy server.

But in any case, I now have reinstalled the desktop discord, and now all is well, so maybe this was just due to some sort of faulty installation the first time around.

LTE does work, at least for data. It is sadly VoLTE that is missing and the way it looks, this is not likely to change, which will render the phone useless in the USA on T-Mobile and AT&T as soon as they exclude non-VoLTE-capable phones from their networks.

When coming from stock (or another rom), you will have to FORMAT (not just wipe) your data partition for the fingerprint scanner to work. At least it works perfectly on klte with this method.

The best troubleshooting step to confirm or rule out a hardware or a MHL adapter problem is to flash the most recent stock Samsung OS for your S5.

That will also update the firmware, bootloader & modem if you don't already have the most recent.

If it works then flash stock LineageOS to rule out a MicroG hack problem.
