Normaly apps are missing the service, not the store.

If @haumich_blau wants to use the Play service he has to use the microG version or install gapps. The advice is to flash gapps BEFORE first boot to avoid misbehaviour. But you can try.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] haumich_blau:
The reason why I flshed lineageOS on my mothers old S5 Mini, was because one banking app ("Ing Diba")was requiring Android 9 as a minimum, which my normal phone (ShiftPhone 5me with Android 6+security updates) could not install.

The banking app did work on lineageOS+late GPS update, BUT now my other banking app (DKB) doesn't allow log ins.

I will now try again by flashing the microG version.

Otherwise I go back to my old phone and keep the mini as a backup

EDIT:

Nope, DKB app refuses to sign in.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] bierma32:
Installation of both Apps are possible with out Play store on my Phone.

I had these problems with lineage and "VR SecureGo Plus" Banking App too.

Gladly, they do not demand a higher Android Version, so stock ROM will do. But there I am stuck with it.

Maybe someone with the stock rom can test, if the stock camera app can record 720p without lag. In a Samsung J5y17 non Samsung apps have also aspect ratio problems with the Samsung camera api. So maybe the Samsung libraries differ to much from the current camera api in lineage/AOSP.

Did you fixed it on LOS 16?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Gremnet:
Hello!

I'n new with the SM-G800F, as my beloved S4 Mini (GT-I9195) quit working. So i searched for a similar small Device.

The S4 Mini was running LOS 17.1, very nice.

So i found this Thread and your Port for the S5 Mini. It is running very well, many thanks to you! But as all LOS it has the Problem with the lousy Camara Apps. No free Camera App beats the Stock Samsung App, especially using HDR (which is extremly fast) or Panorama.

--> Using the latest Stock Rom (DBT_G800FXXU1CVG5) with Android 6.0.1 i can say that the Stock Camera App is absolutely Lag-free at 720p and 1080p.

I went back to the Stock Rom because of the Camera. In your port the camera apps also often quit working, meaning the connection to the camera is lost and i had to reboot the phone. open-camera did NOT record videos, but within whatsapp it was no problem. very strange. the App Cognex Barcodereader also hat no problems using the camera. maybe this information is helping you. i never had such problems at the S4-Mini.

Hi! Have someone started to look into LOS 17 port? I want to try (I don't really know what I'm getting into yet though :-D)

Am I correct assuming this port would mean upgrading kminilite kernel to at least 3.18? (source: https://source.android.com/docs/core/architecture/kernel/android-common)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] SirRGB:
There are devices with linux 3.4 running A11 lineage officially. A kernel upstream is a whole different league tho...

Lineage os supports older kernel versions than aosp for the most part and some unofficial hacks make A12+ bootable on 3.4, but I highly doubt that this chipset is able to handle this.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] autra:
Ok, so maybe I can try LOS 17 while keeping the same kernel.

Why do you think it's difficult to update the kernel? It is *just* rebasing the specific commits? (Imo this is indeed difficult) Or do you think the board is not powerful enough? Or a driver problem? (sorry if my questions are obvious)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] SirRGB:
A kernel rebase is something, that takes a lot of knowledge and time and even then there still might be issues. Idk how deep you are into C and linux (Idk this stuff either), but it is more than just reapplying samsungs changes over a new one.

You can try ofc, but I doubt this is a good "first project".

I tried to make a los 17.1 build at some point btw using the 3.4 kernel and the partitions couldnt fit this and Idk how to further shrink the system image size. I dont remember if I applied the patches either...

My S3 with 3.4 is running A13 pretty smoothly (except for the lack of ram), but I'm pretty sure html6405 made some specific tweaks for exynos 4 chipset for it to work.

I'm not a developer and have no idea if the same can be done for this chipset and how hard it is...
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] SirRGB:
Partitions kinda limit us tho. You can try to compile A10/11 and see how far you can get ig.

Thank you so much for this ROM which I use as a daily driver. But I'm a fresh user of the S5 mini. Do I dirty flash the update? Just wiping dalvik and cache? Thanks for your help! G.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] bierma32:
wiping dalvik and cache is ok

If you have magisk installed, Flash magisk it again
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 108Ganapati:
Thank you, bierma32. It worked. However, I'm not able to connect to those devices via bluetooth which could be connected with the November built. Does anyone have similar problems?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] bierma32:
I reflashed december Build and Bluetooth pairing works, also send and receive images.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] bierma32:
Edit : I use the microg Version.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 108Ganapati:
I went back to the November built and bluetooth worked again, i.e. I was able to connect to my devices.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] bierma32:
Which Version did you installed ? MicroG or Gapps
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] bierma32:
I deleted all pairings on both devices and than paired again.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 108Ganapati:
I installed the standard build. As I have several devices it was easier to reflash the rom than delete all the pairings.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] emil19:
At the moment I only use the MicroG build and until now I have no problems with Bluetooth devices.

Due to some problems after playing with a newer MicroG test version, I have to format and restore the data partition with a non MicroG backup and reflash the latest image. And even in this case the Bluetooth configuration shows no problems.

Hello!

I flashed my SM-G800F with this ROM (lineage-16.0-20240119-UNOFFICIAL-kminilte_MicroG.zip) and so far, everything seems to work nicely - with this exception:

When the display gets dark (not using the phone for e.g. 1 minute), Wifi disconnects and the device switches to mobile data. When I press the power button or double-tab the display to awake it, it takes approx. 3 seconds until Wifi gets connected again. This happens irregularly, i.e. not always. Thus it unnecessarily consumes on my mobile plan even at home with very good Wifi connectivity. Therefore, I would like to get rid of this problem. I could, of course, disable mobile data at home, but this is not really "elegant". 😉

Does anybody of you experience this, too, and has maybe some hints why this happens and if/what I could do about it? Thanks! 👍

And thanks to the developers who still maintain/update this ROM! ❤️

PS:

Are there users of an assistance app in this ROM? Besides "none", I can only select Firefox but not the Home Assistant (HA) app despite it's installed. Any clues how to get the HA app selectable as assistance app? Thanks once more!

Hi 7wells,

I see the same behavior as you. The only switch for wlan automatic is something like "near known networks" has no influence on this form of power saving. As I am using "automate" to switch on mobile data for recurring short times I circumvent your problem a bit.

As I am only applying patches and compile the image, I do not know how adjust this behavior.

If someone has more knowledge, the help is highly appreciated.

Emil
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 7wells:
@emil19

I don't know if there is a causal relationship: I just dirty-flashed (wiped dalvik & cache and also flashed Magisk again), went to the system settings > assistance apps, et voilà: Home Assistant was there - already selected. 😀

Now there is one other things I observed:

When the display is dark, and I press the power button, the display comes up, shows the number keys to enter the PIN, but behind it, I can see the current screen - which should not be the case, right? I mean, the screen should be black (except for the numbers, of course), until I have correctly entered the PIN. I cannot reproduce this regularly, though, and don't know under which circumstances this happens. As I use the device with this nice ROM primarly as a cute RC at home, I don't bother, though - just wanted to mention it. 😉

Bottom line:

Thanks again @emil19 and MarcusS for this update! 💐

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] emil19:
Thanks for this analysis. I will try this after the next full backup.

The samsung binary blob libraries are build for Android 6. So they might not work well with the newer build. Or the "hardware-keystore" insist on a non modified stock rom and/or special vendor keys from samsung...

The camera api of the binary blob libraries are unchanged since years. So they support the api of Android 6, but the newer api elements are not enclosed. Additionally newer apps often uses the closed source google api for QR-code reading. And this is not fully supported by microG up to now.

SIM Telephony has perfect working echo cancellation.

SIP Telephony with Androids native SIP Client has no echo cancellation

Same APP different behaviour.

On a J5 (2016) + stock ROM + native SIP Client = no Echo.

:(

Btw. can i use a DATA Backup from older build on newer?

I used DATA from lineage-16.0-20220128 (the initial image) on lineage-16.0-20240423 and all seems to run fine, had to disable the lock screen alwqys on display (show clock, info, etc).

But is this safe?

Im only asking because Tomato Router u always have to build config from scratch. :)

Another small Issue i found is that importing contacts it adds - symbol after 3 digits (.us format?)

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
N:NAME1;NAME2
FN:NAME1 NAME2
TEL;TYPE=CELL:012345679000
END:VCARD

results in "012-345-679000" in the contacts app.

all is set to germany as location.

I have always dirty flashed the updates, without problems so far. As there are only security patches, no changes in data should be needed. At the moment, the number of patches is very small maybe the updates will end in the near future, if MarcusS stops patching the Pie tree.

For me video recording is only partly working in the enclosed SimpleCamera version. But the aspect ratio is wrong.

The microG version is patched with microG, a minimal opensource implementation of some closed source Google library functions.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Gaddarr:
(June patches) I installed the software on the device, the main problems are as follows:

• There are 2 applications on the camera. Photos work without any problems from the system's own application, but I cannot say the same for recording videos. The orange application, which I guess was added later, takes photos, but it is not stable and when you switch to the front camera, the direct button disappears, but it takes the video properly.

• location accuracy is not good and it works properly in only 2 of the Google applications (Google maps go, chrome) It does not work in 3rd party applications and weather widget

* As far as I understand, although this device's software is in beta, it has major deficiencies and it already warns you, I do not recommend rooting it.

* When turning on mobile data, it can wait up to 1 minute because there is no internet.

* NFC not working

* The battery light is incorrect and turns on as if it is fully charged when it is charged above 89%.

* This is what I experienced, but the phone is faster and more up to date.

* (Footnote: I'm just now understanding this ROM issue, so don't get me wrong, when I look back, there were already a few problems. I wrote that there were at least something fixable, and I expect support from others if the issue works.)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Gaddarr:
I also just saw that you have released new updates. If I install the update, will the device return to factory settings?

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I personally have no connection issues, so it is very difficult for me to try and fix this. Perhaps provide a log?

I will try to look into GPS, but probably not before I release a new build. I have tested with GPS status and a GPS test app and it shows it working well. I will connect to adb at some point and see if I notice anything useful.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] elsterkrug:
How can I provide a corresponding log?

As already described, in some apps, the GPS works without problems, but not in cgeo and not in Google Maps. In cgeo, the GPS status is not connected, and Google Maps has a gray location and no location.
