I don't know if I should state this in public but, I agree with you... LOL! :eek:

Typically, if everything is working fine for me, I only update the firmware every time that the LineageOS team implements security updates and/or every 60-90 days.

This is only a personal preference/recommendation... :thumbup:

I've found that, based upon personal experience, frequently updating (upon every release) tends to result in a greater chance of something going wrong (as Bugs Bunny puts it "taking a wrong turn in Albuquerque"... LOL! ).

I'm not referring to this as a fact for everyone nor every time it's done but, it's only something that I personally have experienced on my 2 (kltevzw & kltetmo) devices.

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

Guys I appreciate the points of view about updating frequently or not the firmware, let's say it's a personal view. Regarding my original issue, bootloop with firmwares dated after Aug 23... anyone can report a success or a failure ? I removed magisk, and I still got bootloops. Moving back to 8-23 firmware.

Edit: Reformated DATA and clean install, still stuck at Aug 23 firmware

I've been using this os the last 6 months or so. It' s beautyfull, thank You! However, i have a situation witch i can reproduce. After restart, before screen locks, i can have up to 3 offline cores. After the first screen lock, it never happens again, 2 is max. First core stays at 300 Mhz, and fourth core higher, the other two offline.

Recovery Log & CPU Cores

Your TWRP recovery log does not show that you flashed manually a LineageOS..zip.

Searching it with Flashing or with signed.zip returns zero results.

Did you wipe the caches before copying the log? If so wipe if you wish then install zip then copy log.

I flashed manually on my S5 G900M lineage-16.0-20190824 in TWRP & attached the recovery log where you can find:

operation_start: 'Flashing'

Installing zip file '/external_sd/lineage-16.0-20190824-nightly-klte-signed.zip'

And also a bunch of: writing 1024 blocks of new data...

CPU & Offline Cores

After booting to System with 1 core as [MENTION=8915476]BlueCyclone[/MENTION] posted, the S5 will turn online cores with a minimum of 2: 2, 3 or 4.

Depending on your selection in > Settings > Battery > Current profile you will have only 2 cores all the time (Power save), 2, 3 or 4 depending on what is running on the S5 (Balanced) or 4 cores always online and always @ 2.46 GHz (2457 MHz is the max of the S5 klte if not overclocked) in the Performance profile: Performance for example.

What are you using to monitor the CPU "After restart, before screen locks"?

An app like the free Simple System Monitor (screenshot) or DevCheck will show what's happening with the cores.

In Simple System Monitor > Settings you can tweak the update interval & max data points so the graphs cover a longer time frame.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] cri8sti:
I'm using smartpack kernel manager. You're right, at "performance" profile all cores are online at all times. For all the other profiles i have maximum two cores offline(just tested it). But after restart If i use the phone for an hour (exemple) but don't let the screen go off, i can have 3 offline cores, after that maximum 2 (regardeless of the used profile - besides performance)

LineageOS, SafetyNet Test & Root

If you can pass the SafetyNet Test then maybe your banking app does not like custom firmware.

What is the exact name of your banking app?

My banking app for the Banco Nacional de Costa Rica BN Más Cerca de Usted > BN móvil works even if my S5 is rooted with the + LineageOS AddonSU. OTOH their other app BN Mi Banco does not work properly.

So if your bank has more than one app, try the other ones.

Is your S5 certified in Play Store? From How to Fix the “Device is not Certified by Google” Error:

Open the Google Play Store

Open the sidebar menu by pulling in from the left

Tap on Settings

Scroll down to the “About” section. Your device’s certification status should be shown under “device certification.”

Mine says under Play Protect certification: Device is certified.

I remember that a while ago it was not & I used the link in that page to get my S5 whitelisted.

Do you have a Payment method registered in Play Store? If not you can add one even if you never use it & in Settings > Enable authentification for purchases to prevent anybody from using it.

Could you tell me the build dates of your LineageOS & Open GApps please?

***

AFAIK Magisk Hide only hides root & a few other things as described here but does not spoof your OS ID to try to fool Play Services.

On my Galaxy S5 G900M LineageOS 16.0 klte + LineageOS AddonSU there is a built-in su-hide on the fly when disabling > Developer option > Root access > apps as explained in https://lineageos.org/Changelog-9/

Root for apps on: fail SafetyNet test. Root off: success. That option is only available to LineageOS AddonSU user.

With iSU it can disable root automatically when opening some apps of my choosing besides having a convenient root switch.

Just a couple of days ago for testing I enabled disable root automatically for the SafetyNet Test app & kept root on & it passed the test. After closing the app root is automatically enabled again.

Maybe [MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION] could confirm that as I think he has LineageOS AddonSU on his S5's.

Since I currently don't need to hide root, I disabled run at startup for iSU in Privacy Guard and also App monitor service in iSU's settings.

Hi.This ROM does not let me activate the equalizer in any app or the AudioFx or if is activated the sound is distorted. Is there any solution for this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ibuprophen:
Sorry for the delay. I've been bouncing on to other projects while the XDA Server issue is still a challenge for me in a few areas but, much better now than yesterday.

I do use the AddonSU for my G900V & G900T devices but, I can't really be of much help with hiding Root as I'm not much of a fan when it comes to banking via Android. I use the PC for that.

I haven't run into any issues with the AddonSU in a long time. The LineageOS Maintainers has really improved on it.

Any issues I may encounter is usually tied to something I've done (or tried to do). The Hazards of testing... LOL!

I installed yesterday and everything seemed fine, but today I am having a major problem receiving phone calls. After letting the phone sit idle for an hour or so, I can't receive calls or SMS. When I call from another phone it doesn't even ring, just goes straight to voicemail.

Outgoing calls from my phone always work. After I make an outgoing call, SMS messages flood in, and I can call my phone from another and my phone will ring like normal. After, the problem returns after sitting idle for an hour or so.

GSAM doesn't show any loss of signal while the phone is sitting.

I found an option in the dialer. Settings > Calls > Calling accounts > Receive incoming calls. That was set to off, so I turned it on hoping that was a simple fix. No joy.

S5 LineageOS 16.0 - Not Receiving Calls When Sleeping

Thanks for providing detailed troubleshooting info. :good::cool:

You have updated LineageOS 16.0 firmware, Open GApps, TWRP & modem. That's good.

I have been following this thread since November last year & AFAIK it's the first case of not receiving incoming calls with the phone in deep sleep.

What is your network provider & country?

With Wifi off, cellular data on do you see LTE on the status bar?

Check Settings > Apps and notifications > Advanced > Special access > Battery optimization: Messaging & Phone should be disabled: "Not optimized" as per the default settings (screenshot). Or search Settings with optimi.

@ the present with the stock Messaging app when the phone is sleeping the notification is delayed until the next Doze maintenance window which is usually 15 minutes or less. I found a workaround but that's for an upcoming post.

Did you install any app that may interfere with Doze like Greenify, Naptime, etc? That's not recommended on Android 9.0.

Check your network provider's recommended APN settings then double check > Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network > expand Advanced > scroll all the way down to > Access Point Names (APN)…

Edit: [MENTION=4238103]unknownsoldierx[/MENTION] If T-Mobile is your provider check T-Mobile Support - Network, APN: Samsung Galaxy S 5.

In Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile network > Advanced > Preferred network type set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE by default on my S5 G900M. If it's the same for you try an other setting like LTE/WCDMA and toggle Airplane mode on/off or better: reboot.

If it does not work try LTE only or GSM / WCDMA auto but then you won't have LTE which is 4g.

[MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION] has a SM-G900T maybe he could tell us what is his network provider & Preferred network type?

In Settings > Battery > Battery Manager > toggle off. If it says Restricted apps click on it to which one got restricted.

How old is your SIM?

I am asking because on S3 i9300 LineageOS 14.1 for 2 weeks I could receive but not send SMS. Then I bought a Galaxy S5 SM-G900M & on LineageOS 15.1 official inserted that old SIM and still had the can't send SMS problem + was not getting LTE.

Went to my network provider's shop & got a new SIM & LTE appeared instantly on the status bar after booting it. And the SMS problem was solved.

Some network providers do not provision the SIM properly or block provisioning on custom firmwares.

The workarounds: insert your SIM in an other phone with stock firmware, send an SMS & wait for 10 minutes for provisioning. Or get a new SIM.

***

That's for only for SIP Accounts. Mine is also set to Off by default & it does not affect incoming calls on Doze.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] sharktm:
i ran the safetynet test and it says passed, it also appear to be certified in the play store settings.

the rom build date is august 30 2019 and the nano gapps were the 2019-08-27.

this is the banking app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eTokenBCR&hl=en and also the other banking apps from this bank seems to be rejected for the same reason of "suspicious rooting".

i guess they blacklisted all custom roms including LOS, and their apps only work on stock roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
Re: Banking App Not Working, No ROOT & SafetyNet

Following the Play Store link you provided the app developer replied to this review which I machine translated from Romanian to English:

"Hi Peter, BCR has always put a great emphasis on security. For this reason, the eToken application does not work on devices that have root access, unlocked bootloader and Custom ROMS."

So I see 5 possibilities:

Use a computer for banking.

Go back to stock Samsung firmware.

Buy an other phone.

Change bank.

Try to fool them with the link I posted above: Magisk Hide and pay attention to the build.prop section.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] sharktm:
oh, ok then, thanks for the help mate :D. the funny thing is they are concerned about security, but the older stock roms without updates like the 6.0.1 on the S5 are more insecure than the latest version of Lineage OS :)).

just one more question, it is recommended/safe to wipe the dalvik and the other cache from TWRP after a new build update ?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] guest4711:
It shouldn't be necessary. But I'd recommend it if you are using magisk modules which overload/alter/delete apps located in /system/apps or /system/priv-apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] HulkSmashBurgers:
I'm on Family Mobile, a TMobile MVNO in the US.

LTE works fine.

Battery optimization wasn't enabled for either app.

No apps like Greenify are installed.

APN settings are consistent with settings I've found for Family Mobile.

I've tried different network settings. GSM/WCDMA/LTE is the default, but I've tried LTE and GSM/WCDMA, rebooting for each.

My SIM worked fine on stock, and this problem only appeared after flashing to Lineage, so I don't think it's the SIM. If it was a provisioning problem, wouldn't the calls consistently not work at all?

Re: S5 LineageOS 16.0 - Not Receiving Calls When Sleeping

So, how old is your SIM?

I can't write a detailed post right now but if you have adb copy/paste these & hit enter after each line and you should receive SMS instantly in the stock LineageOS Messaging app even in deep sleep as tested on my S5 and without any impact on battery life:

adb devices

adb shell dumpsys deviceidle whitelist +com.android.messaging

The reply in adb should be:

Added: com.android.messaging

Unplug the S5, reboot & test sending an SMS to your S5 idling since 15 minutes or more.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] HulkSmashBurgers:
The SIM is a few years old, but like I said it works fine on stock. And it seems strange that it would only be faulty on this ROM, and only after the phone has sat idle for some time.

Nothing was listed in Battery Manager, but I disabled it anyway.

I did a test call and a test SMS to the phone and both failed to come in. I then plugged in the USB. Before I could even run 'adb devices', the text message came through. I don't know what means. I added messages to the whitelist. Will test again in a few hours.

edit: Plugging in the USB was a fluke. Tried it again a little over an hour later and it didn't work, so it must have been a delayed response from making a call.

The only thing for sure to get incoming calls/sms to work, for a short period of time, is to make an outgoing call. Doing anything else with the phone doesn't have really any affect. Having Messages added to the whitelist doesn't help.

AudioFX & Equalizer Alternative

AudioFX does not work on Galaxy S5 G900M LineageOS 16.0 klte build 2019-08-29 + Open GApps Pico + LineageOS AddonSU.

No effect when using earbuds & lowers the overall volume when using a Bluetooth headset.

Could you provide a link please as there is a ton of Viper variants on XDA? Is that a Magisk module?

Do you have it working on an S5 running official LineageOS 16.0?

Did you notice an impact on battery life?

Any S5 user in this thread running a different Equalizer app?

Which one exactly? Can you post a link too? ;)

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
[MENTION=5419928]pepe100[/MENTION] I'm highly interested in equalisation. I have no complete picture, yet. For me it feels like audioFX has a higher success rate in pie, than in nougat or oreo. My main audio source is antennapod. Sometimes if antennapod and audioFX are not able to create a sound effect, i try

- switch to mono (no sucess the last times)

- play the audio file with vanilla player

- install magisk and a viper module

I've also seen the distortion in S4 mini Oreo. AudioFX has shown no equaliser effect. But switching on reverb started a continuous noise with maximum volume independent from media volume setting.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] HulkSmashBurgers:
Yes I did that and rebooted. Situation is unchanged.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
Re: S5 LineageOS 16.0 - Not Receiving Calls When Sleeping

That whitelisting of Messaging eliminates a sleeping related problem possibility.

My guess is APN, SIM or network provider problem because both your incoming calls & incoming SMS are not working @ idle.

If you are 100% sure that your APN settings are 100% correct (not 99%) try with an other SIM from a carrier not related to T-Mobile in anyway. Not a re-seller of T-Mobile's network rebranded.

I am stuck in a boot loop with the arc animation running endlessly since a reboot after making Yalp running in system mode to be able to install some app updates. That was on nightly 190829. Had the same after a fresh install of a nightly some weeks ago where a downgrade fixed the situation. Now neither a down nor an upgrade fixed the loop, also not removing every trace of Yalp I could find with TWRP. Is there an idea how to fix it without a full wipe? If I have to make a full wipe can I extract some partition backups or part of them in TWRP to restore apps and app data?
