I did the same as you and other things…

But only one works for me so you could try

Using TWPR 3.2.1

format data

wipe dalvik, cahe, system, data and internal storage

wipe cache/dalvik

Flash LOS16 12/12

wipe cache/dalvik

install GAPPS [open gapps-arm-9 0-aroma-20190801]*

wipe cahe/dalvik

reboot

*I had a lot of issues with the lasted versions and I got angry so installed a old version that already had.

**Maybe we need to do a "wipe cache/dalvik" before install anything
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Yeah,I have to think that both of your issues are related to coming from Lineage 14.1 without a proper wipe as I have had no issues with any of my latest builds. I would recommend a backup followed by a proper full wipe then installing the latest LineageOS 16 build. Hopefully that will solve your issues.

On a side not:

I have received a few donations over the last few months and I just wanted to publicly say thanks to those who have donated to me. It is obviously not necessary,but it is greatly appreciated. So a big thank you to those who have donated! It does not go unappreciated!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] dugmar:
So Full Wipe means "wipe dalvik, cache, system, data and internal storage" only the external sd card can be left out.

correct?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Yes,that's correct. Although I am not sure if wiping the internal storage is really needed either honestly. I always wipe it,but it may not be needed to solve your issues.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] dugmar:
Thanks for the Reply: I managed to boot the 12/12 release by flashing the LOS file first, wipe cache, flash Gapps, wipe cache and then reboot.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Michi_BS:
Actually I had noticed this behaviour already some time ago in a previous build of LOS 14 or earlier:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74012454&postcount=1396

There was no solution for that, and if you mean this bug it seems that it is persistent :(

I'll check it after updating fom LOS 14.1 to LOS 16.0beta.

Great work! First time since original Rom, the fingerprint sensor works reliable.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Zachhambo:
Hey! Just saying this is one awesome feature packed ROM and because I'm kinda new to this custom ROM business, I'm just wondering how you go about updating from your initial build to the one you released on the 24th. Does the entire ROM need to be flashed again (wiping system data and caches) or can you just wipe caches and flash or is there another way? (Sorry for being a noob:)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] jan8045:
Hi, in my case I dirty flashed (only wipe of cache) and it worked. Overall the rom works well! What still does not work:

- Whatsapp Google Drive Backups

- Threema does not save media (pictures etc.)

- Screen flickering at low brightness levels
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Zachhambo:
OK, I'll install it tonight. Thanks ☺️
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] jan8045:
Edit: Similar to Threema, Locus is unable to download maps to both, internal and sdcard storage. Are also others having this (permission?) issue? I also have a S4 mini running the latest LineageOS by arco (Android pie). Everything fine there. [Config: SELinux = permissive; sdcard formated as external storage; Magisk 18; Locus and Threema are granted storage permission]
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Thanks for the feedback. I have a suspicion that this may be related to missing kernel commits involving sdcardfs. I could be wrong,but when I first started working on LOS 16 I spent some time getting internal storage to be detected at all. I needed to edit some code relating to sdcardfs in the kernel,so this may be related. I don't use these apps nor have I tried to backup or restore Whatsapp related stuff. I think,just to see if this is the case that I will try to do a test build and disable sdcardfs and patch the sources to allow the use of fuse again. Perhaps you or anyone else would be willing to test this just so I can confirm or eliminate this possibility. I will try to do this build in the coming days.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] jan8045:
Great, thanks! I'm happy to test.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] didi86:
Does this cause WiFi hotspot to work? Does Bluetooth-Tethering work?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] jan8045:
Anyone else having problems with the GPS lock running the latest build? I'm not able to obtain a lock in GPS-only mode.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Test build - NOTE: This is not an update. It is simply a build to try to confirm/eliminate a possible cause of the storage/permissions issues with certain apps (whatsapp,Threema etc). There is no need to flash this unless you want to test this and give feedback.

I have reverted back to the old fuse file system and disabled sdcardfs in the kernel. This is the only change. I would just like to know if this is perhaps causing these issues. Thanks!

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] shua22:
Hi spookcity138,

thank you for the test build, Threema Whatsapp & Viber works !
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Friedensfurz:
Hey [MENTION=7065337]spookcity138[/MENTION] , maybe you can find the missing commits in my kernel repo. It contains all missed out and compatible commits after hennymccs latest commits. They were all taken from the S5's repos. You can find them by searching for "sdcardfs" , maybe there are some missing ones in there. Thanks ;)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] jan8045:
Perfect, I also tested and indeed, Threema and Whatsapp now work! Many thanks for the swift reaction.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] jan8045:
At the moment, it seems to work. What I did:

- Replace gps.conf with one from a working device

- Cleaned data of Google services framework

- Cleaned data of combined location

- Toggled on/off several times improvement of location accuracy (right now: off)

Still, the statistics from GPS Status look weird (I get the gps locked with 0/4 sattelites fixed), but that's not an issue as long if it goes on working...

Edit: 10 hours later, I don't get a fix anymore within 6 min...
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Hmm,was this working (or working better) in the previous build? I don't think I have made any GPS related changes to the device sources since then,but I could be wrong. I will have a look. If not perhaps something has changes in the LOS sources that perhaps require a change in our device trees.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] be037446:
Not stable with ogapps

Installation went fine but Google setup didn't work that well. Finaly, it worked but then Pixel Launcher crashed all the time.

And the settings dialog was the standard Samsung S5 Mini dialog. Not the standard Android.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] jan8045:
I'm not sure. Maybe it was already unstable in the previous build. I think I remember that it worked once, but maybe thanks to WLAN or A-GPS.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Brummschaedel:
For me, both builds have a stable gps (didn't try the new test-build so far). No need to change gos.conf or anything else.

I can confirm the storage problems with Locus maps. I tried to change the permissions of the storage path, but it is refused with Mixplorer and with a terminal (yes, I am rooted).

Thanks, spookcity, for the second build! It seems a big progress. My problem when switching between apps is much better now, no need to fiddle around with the kernel. Only the browser with multiple tabs open hangs sometimes. And the battery life increased significantly.

By the way: external keyboard and mouse do fine via OTG!

Happy New Year!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] jan8045:
Hi, thanks for the info and happy new year too!Locus Maps works fine with the test-build! Concerning the GPS: Just to corfirm: You used the device-only mode, right? I reflashed the modem, but it did not get better. With the stock firmware, the GPS was working fine some two weeks ago. I'll try to think of other solutions trying to avoid a factory reset...

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] BoJIWeB:
When update to lineage os 17?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
When you build it :D

I have messed with it some over the last couple of months. Lineage 17 is not really ready at this point anyway. I finally,a couple of weeks ago got it to where it would get past the kernel (as the init process has changed a lot for a Q) and I could connect to adb shell to see what was happening. I needed to create a shim for our HWC to get it to do much of anything. I finally got it to the Lineage boot logo last time I built a couple of weeks ago,but no further. I think (if I remember correctly) this may have to do with audio...or perhaps/probably other issues as well.

I will continue to work on it in my spare time. Which is really limited right now,so no promises on a working build anytime soon. If anyone has any interest in helping out (would be appreciated as my time is really limited) I will push my sources to GitHub. Although,this also more than likely won't be done until after the new year.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] BoJIWeB:
But maybe you can make workig NFC?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Very unlikely. I would not hold your breath waiting for NFC to work. If I cant get it working on this ROM it is most certainly not going to work on any future Android versions. I will,when I have some time,try to revisit this for this ROM,but I tried a lot to get it working in the past without any luck,so yeah.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] BoJIWeB:
On your build LineageOS 16 17.11.2018 NFC was working.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
No,it was just available within settings in older builds. I have long since stopped building it,so it just no longer shows up at all. I was never able to get it working.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] BoJIWeB:
Oh, ok. But anyway good luck in new year)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Slothry:
Isn't there even a chance to use it on G800H?

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:

Note: I was unable to test mobile data on this build. I see no reason why it shouldn't work however. The mini is no longer my main device and I don't currently have a proper size sim card to test.

Hi

Just tried to flash the latest version and it gets stuck in the boot animation after rebooting. In the normal build as well as the microG build. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] bhx93:
If you are using TWRP don't install the app as system app at the end.

If don't work try to format dalvik, system and cache. Then install the rom

Any clue about flashlight (in quick settings) and camera preview (in Open Camera) not working after this update? the previous version worked fine.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Hmm,no clue really. There were no device specific changes in this build. I just tested the flashlight though and it works fine for me.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] dugmar:
FWIW: I performed a full wipe, installed the december version and the flashlight was not working.

I again full wiped the phone, installed the january version and wiped again cache/dalvik and the flashlight now works.

hello, i made an upgrade from LOS 14 to LOS16 but now i can't connect to any wifi connection... any solution? The wifi is working but it says that can't save the password and can't connect to the wifi lan.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Did you do a clean install? Meaning full wipes. That's the only reason I can think of why you'd be having this issue. Especially since you came from LOS 14.1. You definitely need a clean install.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] HTC82:
i made a cache/dalvik/system wipe. I used on other phones this wipes for upgrade and never had problems.

PS: sorry, i made a mistake, i made an upgrade from LOS16 - 12122019 to LOS16 - 18012020; not from LOS14 to LOS16

Hi, congratulations for the excellent work. I have your ROM for about 1 month and it is fine but some problems that you can help me.

The phone after long inactivity (usually in the morning) has excessive lag, I put caffeine disappear then once the caffeine is finish the lag return.

The video on the opencamera does not go, when closing video, lock the opencamera and I have to close.

It does not report the arrival of text messages in real time but after a few minutes, sometimes even 10, if I imagine it has arrived because I sent it, as soon as I unlock the phone, the message arrives.

When I set the auto profile with blietooth, the settings app closes.

Thanks for any suggestion. Andrew.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] f_lux:
Hey there!

First of all - thank you so much for keeping this device alive!

While installing LOS 16 Beta (and GAPS Pico) on a S5 Mini I had to go back to the version of 13-11-2019. All never Versions couldn't start, just bootloops. Thats poor, because of the latest securityupdates.

Does anyone have similar problems?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I can't say that I have these issues with lag at all so I just dont know what to say,sorry. The camera is def still a problem. Try footej camera. Thats what I was using and it seemed to work pretty well. Although,the version of that app seems to play a role as well. Not really sure about your other issues either. This is no longer my main phone,but I will try to have a look into them if I find some time.

I test all of my builds before I release them here and all have booted and worked fine for me. There was an issue with certain versions of Gapps causing bootloops (search this thread) That's the only thing I can really think of that would be causing this issue for you.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] dugmar:
Update to 12-02-2020

I had lag problems with the previous version that disappeared when i moved to 12-02-2020.

OpenCamera work fine for me.

Still, the "upgrade" process is a bit convoluted. Full clean before installation, cache clean after installation and before boot. Restore from google backup, and tweak a lot of things that the google backup does not restore (e.g. default contact and dialer app, outlook config and bluetooth sync, ...).

Mad props to spookcity for the work anyway.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] a-dead-trousers:
You could try a "dirty" flash if you want to. Just flash the ROM without doing the rest. That's what I do all the time and no problems so far.

If it's not working for your device or configuration you can still go back to do a clean install instead.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Tureilu:
Info: WLAN Connection Problems

I had problems with a stabil WLAN-connection for a long time when the phone was idle.

Since I turned off "use WLAN for more accurate location " in the location settings, my WLAN-Connection had no connection failures.

GPS recovery from satellit very long...

Hello,

like Kenitilas, I was thinking GPS not working...but I was inside.

So outside, GPS is working but data acquisition from satellites take a lot of time...sometime ~10mn!!!

Conditions: airplane mode is ON to use only GPS (AGPS recovery made before with the satstat application),

2019-12-12 LineageOS build version without Gapps nor MicroG.

An idea why this long time?

GPS is OK after GNSS set to OFF

Hello,

yesterday, I wrote

So, I forgot in conditions the GNSS forcing was ON, (see to System->advanced options->Options for developpers->Debug)

so today I set to OFF

...and problems have diseappered: acquisition from satellites now is more quickly than previously and not only outside but also inside!!!!

I am happy, but was it really the root cause, I don't know?

hi,

every now and then my cell hangs up. it then only shows the clock with a colored square around it. sometimes it's a blue square, sometimes yellow. I will not be able to return to the home screen. you can only take it out with the battery.

is this bug known or not? can i do anything?

I hope the google translator was able to translate my thing well.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
This is FlipFlap (for flipcovers). It has been brought up many times before. Search the thread as I don't know how to disable it to be honest.

I uninstall via a debloat script. You can delete the apk in TWRP. Just mount system and in the system/priv-app directory delete the FlipFlap folder.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] GasLoop:
Hi, pulling a bug report leads to a crash, no matter if full or interactive. Also, when using AccuBattery, the current etc. cannot be read. Is this a known problem already?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] a-dead-trousers:
Honestly I don't know this one but most of the time this problem means it's not installed as system app or it doesn't have the needed permissions.

Try to ask for support from the app creator. But I don't think this would help because when I select it in google play it says that it is not compatible with my phone.

I would recommend BetterBatteryStats instead. It has no advertisments or in app buys and is free. The needed steps to install it as system app are also provided if you need to do this (I had to).
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] GasLoop:
AccuBattery is not a wake lock reader app, it's for measuring battery health. It doesn't need root access to read the electrical values from the battery controller. And bug reports are built into the system.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I'm afraid I don't really have any answers for you. I just know that there have been (since the days of LineageOS 14) errors related to battery stats in every log I've looked at. I suppose this may be causing your issue?

Also never try a bug report, so I'm unsure of what's happening there. Perhaps a log of these things may be of some help. Not sure honestly.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] GasLoop:
Probably, yes.

As bug reports don't work, how could I provide you with a log?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Connect to adb shell. Run "logcat". Try to take a bug report and redirect the output to a text file or copy the output to a text file. Messaged me with it or share it here and I'll have a look when I have the time.

Edit:

Or look into installing Matlog if you have root. May be easier for most people I guess.
