[ROM] [OFFICIAL] LineageOS 16.x - Is this ROM ready for use as a daily driver?

Sorry if this is off topic, but I'm not sure where to post or where to look.

Is this ROM ready for use as a daily driver?

I notice that the downloads seem to be nightly which makes me think they may be unstable.

I was using crDroid, but it doesn't seem to be receiving any more updates, or an upgrade to Pie 9.0.

Any info/suggestions much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] dcarvil:
Yes, it is very stable. All LineageOS 16 ROMS are built nightly.

SD card troubles

I have trouble accessing my photos and videos from my PC. I am using Open Camera and it saves to the SD card in the DCIM/Camera folder. My phone is an SM-G900W8 and I am currently running the July 5th nightly.

When I plug the phone into the PC and select "Use USB For File Transfer", I can open and access everything on the SD card except for when I open the Camera folder. It partially loads 20 or 30 thumbnails and then stalls out. The green strip starts going across the address bar. A few minutes later it reaches the other end of the address bar but no more thumbnails show up. The ones that are there result in an error when I try to click them.

I have tried various earlier LOS 16.x nightlies over the last 3 or 4 months and have had the same issue. When I go back to LOS 15.x or anything else Oreo and older, it all works no problem. Granted there are 600+ photos and videos so it take a minute or two to fully load, but they are all there and accessible. I have tried using another SD card and have tried formatting through the phone OS just in case. No dice. I would like to stay with the 16.x ROM but need to get at the photos from the PC so keep having to downgrade. I feel like maybe I am missing something simple. Can anyone help?

As an aside, when I select custom ring tones and notifications from a folder on the SD card, it uses them until I reboot the phone and then reverts to the default tones. If I put my custom tones in a folder in internal memory, it keeps them through the reboot. Related issue maybe?

Thanks in advance

For the second issue i would ensure that in developer settings the (re-translated) option "Always allow apps to use external memory" is set.

The first problem reminds me of the timeout issues i frequently had when transferring files via a sync software like Kies or better MyPhoneExplorer. For wifi and in the old days bluetooth file transfer the notoriously unreliable OBEX protocol is necessary. And probably even for MTP, but not the classic MSP protocol. However i never had issues when directly accessing phones via Windows Explorer and usb, with no sync suite involved.

Thanks.... How often is it recommended to update a daily use phone.... daily updates seems to be a bit much.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
I update monthly to get security patches.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] shkedov:
sometimes I update once in two weeks, sometimes every 2 days. It varies.

And new security patches are out only once in a few months, so I'm not sure that would be the reason for daily updating.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] rootkitty:
Obviously you do a full backup so a "rollback" is easy, but do you need to reinstall a lot of programs or spend much time redoing settings or customization?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
Usually update is smooth. No need to do anything but tap update in settings.

Always have a backup of efs at hand. No need to re-backup. It doesn't get changed.

Before and after larger modifications backup /system and /data should be enough. Not necessarily for each update.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] shkedov:
No, I'm not backing-up. Updating is simply booting into recovery (twrp), wiping cache, and then install zip of the new version.

If the new version is too buggy for me, I simply install the previous zip which I kept on phone.

In that case you don't need to reinstall any app.

magisk v18.1 stable?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ibuprophen:
Just to add to the excellent guidance from [MENTION=8031265]kurtn[/MENTION]...

With the various flavors of klte devices, configurations, rooting methods, etc... It would be a challenge to provide something like this since, technically, the Official LineageOS Maintainers only supports/recommends their AddonSU.

I would just like to suggest that you go to the following thread If you require further Support and Guidance specific to Magisk.

Magisk General Support / Discussion by topjohnwu

In addition to this...

If someone provides an upload to something not related to the Official LineageOS, and you have an issue for one reason or another, then this can turn into a potential beast that falls into the realm of "Magisk Support" and the above thread would be where you would've/could've/should've ended up anyways.

Just an example pointer for you to consider. Magisk is developed to Work on/for one or more devices/firmwares. The LineageOS Firmware is not designed to work for/with Magisk.

Clarification: don't confuse this with the fact that the LineageOS Firmware was designed not to work with Magisk because it's "not" a Firmware developed for such a thing. That's left for Google and many/most Carriers... LOL! :)

I hope that I had explained this okay via text... :eek:

Good Luck! :D

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ibuprophen:
I personally use the AddonSU for my 2 devices but, only by choice. Be sure to use the ARM option if you choose to use the AddonSU.

I plan to check out Magisk someday. I just haven't got the time to get into it yet. I only have a working knowledge of Magisk because I need to because of one of my other developments.

I, personally, think that AddonSU and Magisk are both a very good choice for Rooting. It all just comes down to personal preference since one individual may like one choice that another may not like (and vice versa).

This is all up to you...

Good Luck!

I have two issues with this ROM and would like to report.

Sometimes when I play a video, the sound plays at maximum volume for a fraction of a second and then returns to the zero volume where I left it. This happens even if I'm wearing a headset. And this disrupts the experience when I'm watching certain videos, if you guys understand me (͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡ °)

Another problem is when I install an app and it puts a shortcut I can not remove it or uninstall it. Nothing happens when i touch and hold the shortcut.

SM-G900T Firmware Question

I understand that this may not be the correct forum for such a question, but there are a few members here in the know...

Where can (SM-G900T) users find the latest firmware that was released by T-Mobile on Dec 6, 2018? Sammobile doesn't have it. Is it a necessary update?

Current FW is: G900TUVU1GQC2

Announced FW is: G900TUVU1GRJ1

Link to T-Mobile FW page:

https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-28482

Link to Sammobile FW page:

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s5/firmware/SM-G900T/

I'd appreciate any insight you all could provide.

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

Apparently, the update was only a fix for DTMF issues. I guess I don't have a problem with tone dialing, so I'm not too concerned. Still, why isn't the update posted anywhere?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ibuprophen:
I had asked this question within the following SamMobile Forum Thread...

SM-G900T Firmware Update Availability... by Ibuprophen - SamMobile Forum

... They responded with "The firmware you mentioned is not available on the Samsung-servers: that's why it's not online here...".

I kinda placed this firmware search on the back burner. I just figured that, eventually, someone will have it available to download without having to pay.

Good Luck!

Hey, would anyone know if there is a way to disable 'cellular data' access on all apps?

Whenever I install new apps I always go into their settings and disable all cell phone access until I know how they behave and then

allow cell data access only to those apps that I trust.

But when I do a clean firmware flash I have to also do that manually for all of the apps that are preinstalled on the ROM.

I would like to know if that can be done system-wide so that when I do a fresh system flash I don't have to do it manually disable and

selectively enable each one.

thanks for any help :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Massedil:
I also have this problem : the sound is played at max for few milliseconds even when the volume is off when I open a video in the default video app.

I don't know. I only use F-droid and no shortcut are automatically inserted on my Trebuchet home screen.

---------- Post added at 10:07 ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 ----------

I think you can use AFWall+ for that. It requires root.

All apps can't access internet except if you allow them.

I don't know if that can help you.

Sort of general advice:

Install LOS with one of the smaller GAPPs packages & then don't touch system apps at all, as there are then few and most of them needed.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] guest4711:
Or don't install any g-apps at all...

For those who cannot avoid g-apps at all: You may use config files to select the parts of open-gapps you want and to install those only. See https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Advanced-Features-and-Options for further information.

Re: S5 Speaker Sound Problem

You don't give much setup description which makes it difficult to troubleshoot. :eek:

Did you check in Settings > Sound?

Did you try with LineageOS's AudioFX turned off?

Are you using any third-party mixer app or Magisk sound module?

"...I do however have sound back on only through bluetooth and wired headphones." - So you do have sound but it's not coming out of the speaker on the back of the S5.

Is your earpiece working when you make a call? What happens when you enable speaker in the dialer during a call?

If you have a custom mixer_paths.xml you could either dirty flash LineageOS to restore the stock one or use the TWRP flashable S5 stock mixer_paths.xml that I attached to this post: Low Mic When Making Calls?

Using adb you could make a dumpsys audio like I just made on my S5 G900M LineageOS 16.0 klte build 2019-07-14 + Open GApps Pico + LineageOS AddonSU, no custom kernel or system mods of any kind & attached to this post & you could attach it to a reply.

This will save the dumpsys audio in the folder in which you are running adb CMD:

adb shell dumpsys audio > dumpsys_audio.txt

Check the entries without a time stamp in mine & compare to yours (open with WordPad or Notepad++ for example to keep the formatting).

And/or reboot & reproduce the problem then use the free, quick & easy SysLog to capture a logcat. It's Play Store page explains how to give the app the required permission via adb if you don't have root.

Or LineageOS Wiki - How to capture logs (logcat) without root using adb.

***

"I turned on developer options last night to change disable start up apps on boot and I fear I may have disable all sounds." - I don't see any setting in Developer options that can disable the speaker.

Settings > Developer options > Memory > Apps started on boot opens Settings > Security & location > Trust > Privacy Guard > 3-dots > Advanced > Bootup panel so you don't need to go through Developer options to open it (screenshot).

See S5 Remove Animations UI Speedup Test - Taming Google & Apps about how to create a shortcut to Privacy Guard Advanced.

G900F - Cell service loss after calls, comes back after toggling airplane mode

Hey XDAers,

I have some trouble with the cell service on my G900F (provider: Free Mobile (France) )

Everything seems fine, then, often after I make or receive a call or randomly, I loose ability to make or receive SMS/MMS/Calls, but LTE is working fine.

If I reboot OR toggle airplane mode, THEN I can send messages again and make (one) phone call until I loose everything again.

Below is a logcat.txt made with adb, and amended with the following comments at the appropriates places to highlight the steps I followed:

### TRYING TO SEND MESSAGE 180: FAILURE
### ????
### TURNING AIRPLANE MODE ON
### TURNING AIRPLANE MODE OFF
### RESENDING MESSAGE 180 : SUCCESS
### MAKING A CALL TO ANOTHER PHONE: OK
### SENDING MESSAGE 181: SUCCESS
### CALLING MY VOICEMAIL (CALL WILL HANG OFF ITSELF AFTER FEW SECONDS)
### SENDING MESSAGE 182 (FAILURE)

Phone SM-G900F

Provider: Free Mobile (France)

Booloader G900FXXU1CRH1 and Radio G900FXXU1CQK3 ( but It was exactly the same under bootloader G900FXXS1CQD1 and radio G900FXXS1CQAV )

lineage-16.0-20190723-microG-klte (was the same with lineage-16.0-20190716-microG-klte )

TWRP 3.3.1-0

I made a backup of all of my stock partitions, but somehow I can't restore them in TWRP (with the message "Modem partition is mounted read-only").

Anyway, thank you for your amazing work !
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lecorbusier:
Mobile radio should be set at GSM/CDMA/LTE, as you seem to be missing the first two.

The option to backup modem partition in Twrp is present only on Samsung devices, but the modem partition has always been write protected on my two ones. Simply uncheck modem before restore. Probably the backup of the modem partition can be written via Odin, or it's just useless...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] wlx_klte:
Thanks for your answer,

The problem still occurs in GSM/WCDMA/LTE

I don't think that preferred network is the problem here, because It sometimes works perfectly.

I can cause the problem 100% of the time when I call my voicemail (it hangs up on me and then my cell service is dead, but LTE is still OK).

When it's lost it does not come back, unless I reboot or toggle the airplane mode.

The most annoying is that it also happens randomly, several times per day.

EFS

Thanks Curiousrom, I suspected that didn't make much sense.

I don't know what can cause the EFS to become corrupted, but with my 900V I had to restore the EFS after installing LOS 16 the first time and then used daily for months before lost service during work.

Restored EFS with TWRP and worked fine again until at work again 2 weeks later when same thing occurred. (Only at that location 1 or 2x per week)

Then went back to same work location with WiFi off all day and no problems. I know it's not scientific proof but seemed to be related. Anyone have ideas on actual reasons EFS can become corrupted?

BTW, very thankful for all the help on this site.

S5 Upgrading from Official LineageOS 15.1 to 16.0

No if you are using Magisk and/or Open GApps.

See Official 16.0 for S5 2019-03-01 - Dirty Flash Report and make full backups.

If you are a Magisk user contrary to what I did as an experiment I would recommend to completely remove Magisk before doing it with the TWRP flashable Magisk uninstaller. If you don't have it already get it from the XDA Magisk release thread.

If you are an Open GApps user the proper Open GApps ARM 9.0 must be flashed right after 16.0 without rebooting in between.

A clean install including Format Data instead of just wipe is what I did after 2 weeks of running the dirty flash mainly because I wanted to be able to make some bug reports & not have the caveat of being on a dirty flash.

I also described how I did it here but with a twist: I restored a Google Backup on first boot & I was surprised by how well it worked: S5 super clean install.

Check also the LineageOS wiki for a different way of doing it: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/klte/upgrade

Although i do bavkups with Titanium Backup, i usually let Google restore my apps via cloud, as it's just a small wait period & no hassle, then i overwrite all or most apps with the backup, to restore settings & data.

Since pie (on two devices, w/pie-based LOS & RR things went downhill:

After each clean install about a quarter of my apps don't get cloud restored. They are even missing in the "my collection" list in Playstore, but will re-appear there after some time. If these apps get restored via TB, many of them are instable and need to be uninstalled, reinstalled from Playstore and re-configured.

Often there's a message that these apps are for older versions of Android, but almost all of them got updates since Pie was released. Swiftkey being one of the more renowned and best supported ones.

Also the initially positive effect of getting a new battery(up to 5,5 hours of screen on time instead of 4h) has completely worn off within 14 days. WTF is going on here? These batteries aren't dying that fast & my last clean install, which can have a usually limited temporary effect on battery life was weeks before changing the battery.

Not for the first time after a battery change on some device, the screen-on and standby times were even much better(up to 6 hours) after the first couple of charge cycles, so i waited over a week before making positive remarks about battery life under Pie in this very thread. Which i now revoke.
