Hello

I can't succeed to make the camera works. Do I miss something ?

Which app I have to download ? Any additionnal driver ?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Laurent001:
Actually, the selfie camera is working but not the other one. Any idea to go further ?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] emil19:
For me the included Simple Camera works more reliable than other apps. Only with LED on the app sometimes crashes. If the camera then stays non working, only a reboot brings the camera back.

If only the main camera does not work even after reboots, this can be also a hardware defect.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] bierma32:
The functionality of the camera is an known issue since we startet with LOS 16 on this device.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] michnixweiss:
I only have wifi been deactivated after deep sleep, what can be solved be double reactivating it.

Camera are both working fine for me, including led flash. Using the lineage stock app.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] ChriMo:
I have difficulty to activate it but since not needed often it is not so relevant

For Video even if unsmoothly com.simplemobiletools.camera 5.3.1 (F-Droid) works, while LOS Camera after starting video recording , when stopping leads to freeze.

I hope 4G connection is stable and battery drain acceptable, since I will give to a family person for simple usage - most of the day connected to recharger.

Seems Screen off by recognition of proximity sensor of head will not be reversed after the head is removed, so after the call. Need to see if this is fixable, if I remember correctly that was already a problem in the past.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Laurent001:
Thank you for your answers.

When I installed this rom, the battery did not charge or almost.

My father-in-law's patience has reached its limit. I'm going to buy him a Pixel 6a so he can leave with a viable solution for several years.

I will try to get the S5 mini back and see what I can do with it.

After flashing, a replacement battery shows always a bad calibration but charging was always possible on at least 2 devices.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] v.a.riabov:
Video recording work in this building?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] v.a.riabov:
Video recording work? What the name of app or los?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Laurent001:
Well... I have bought for him a pixel 6a and he have just told me that the S5 mini camera is working fine now. I have tested it today (photo and video) and that's right. Funny.

But the battery is not during long. I am going to search the way to do a good calibration.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] michnixweiss:
Lineage Camera Stock app 2.02.015, included in the image.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] emil19:
I use the included simple camera ver. 5.3.1 (which is the last version compatible with Android 9/LOS 16). In F-Droid I have disabled updates for this app for this reason

The LOS camera app snap can not save videos on my device and crashes more often in image mode.

With saved pictures on the sd-card, the included gallery app has problems to detect them without reboot, so I use simple gallery for this task.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] v.a.riabov:
Video recording 30 fps and gallery work?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] duven87:
very smooth , microG variant :)

but with osmand maps I become a black screen map..
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] v.a.riabov:
Video recording 30 fps and anything works?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] emil19:
With the included "Simple camera" I can record >30 s (testet ~44s). The clip info is then:

VIDEO: [H264] 960x720 24bpp 30.000 fps 4366.7 kbps (533.0 kbyte/s)

But the video does not look very smooth.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] emil19:
For me only Rendering Engine 1 is working. OpenGL gives only a black screen.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] v.a.riabov:
How make video fine, smooth?

Maybe saving to internal rom is faster? You can try a stock rom, if this uses the hardware more efficient. Otherwise only a faster phone will solve your issues...
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] stanwood:
Thank you very much! This build works pretty well (micro-g variant)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Concept48:
Can you ad support for the 3G model ? G800H many people have that phone still
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Concept48:
Emil hold on , you say the Rom has June 06 2023 patches but that is not correct , The rom was Made in June but patches :

ro.build.version.security_patch=2022-01-05

ro.build.version.base_os=

ro.build.version.min_supported_target_sdk=17

ro.build.date=Fri Jun 23 14:23:41 CEST 2023

Can you explain and what sources did you use ? do you have more info about this Rom?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] SirRGB:
Im not emil, but I think I know what you mean.

Google doesnt provide official security patches for anything below android 11 as of now and thus the actual patch level isnt bumped. Most patches get backported from the newer android versions and thats why you can consider these builds to be on the june security patch, even though it is unofficial by some dev uploading them to the lineage gerrit. It is however possible to just manually edit the source and set the patch level to the one that is implemented unofficially, but most people dont do that. The file responsible for that is this one:

android_build/core/version_defaults.mk at lineage-16.0 · LineageOS/android_build

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] SirRGB:
As far as I know the g800f is like a whole other phone with a different chipset (msm8226 vs exynos3470), so there is no way to make one single build for all devices. Even the patches, that have to be applied (or not?) differ, so it also isnt very convenient to build for both devices...
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Concept48:
Thanks for clarifying that , thanks !! I understand now ,
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Concept48:
Thank You
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] emil19:
Thank you SirRGB for answering the question. I have tried to change the security patchlevel to a value with same patchlevel information, but Android only accepts a plain date as security information.... So I leave the value unchanged.

Some questions to the microG users:

Is reflashing of magisk always needed after updating or only after change to microG?

One tan app obviously has detected the update and looses its registration? Is this normal?

Thanks in advance!

Emil.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] SirRGB:
Well microg lives in the boot image, so I you have to reflash magisk after every update iirc.

I do not have my S5M up and running now, but I assume that you dont pass safetynet out of the box with your microg build and especially after installing magisk. I think you have to install the safetynetfix by kdrag0n and use denylist on both the banking app and gmscore or so to get safetynet and the banking app up and running.

Hope I could help :)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 2faraway2:
@SirRGB : Full ack :)

@emil19 : You have to install following moduls in magisk to pass safetynet or PI and to hide 'root' :

- Universal SafetyNet Fix (by Kdrag0n, the microG-version modded by Displax), release v2.4.0-MOD_1.3-microG :

https://github.com/Displax/safetynet-fix/releases

- Denylist Unmount (v0.4 by mywalkb)

https://github.com/mywalkb/DenylistUnmount

And you have to configure magisk with Zygisk = On WITHOUT ticking 'Enforce Denylist' .

In the DenyList itself you have to put in your banking app/s ...

Do not put in the gmscore/microG-app in here !!!

That's all. With this method all my bankings apps work without any issue !

Hope that helps :)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] SirRGB:
Well Ive also hid magisk by changing the package name, enforced the denylist, added microg apps to the denylist and also just used the normal safetynet fix.

Most importantly you have to emable safetynet in the microg settings. You can check whether safetynet works by using yasnac.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] emil19:
I have too hide Magisk by name and zygisk enforce list. As the build does not pass safenet, I instaled the normal safetynet fix. After that my mobile passed the microG safetynet test and the app works. I have added microG and microG google services to the denylist. Do I need to register the the device at google? I have enabled registration without account..

But after updating and reinstalling magisk, the tan app looses its registration and start unregisterd....
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] SirRGB:
Did you enable safetynet in the microg settigns?

You can also include these into your next build, it will help with gapps, not sure for microg tho

https://review.lineageos.org/q/topic:16-snet
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 2faraway2:
@emil19 : Did you try my recommendation form above ? I bet, I will work because the mentioned USNF Mod is especially designed for microG builds (and handles PI, which some apps already today are checking ...)

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] retr0sam:
Thank you for still working on the Samsung S5 mini.

I was wondering: I recently bought a Samsung S5 because before I had a Samsung S4 and S4 mini and there were a lot of custom roms, also officials.

I assumed that the S5 mini is better than the S4 mini so that there should be even more roms. However, this does not seem to be the case.

Why?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] SirRGB:
Depends on the chipset mostly. Qcom chips are a little easier to work with from what Ive heard and maybe there is also more devs around.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] waldfee:
Hi emil19, thanks a lot! You posted two times the link to the checksum for the regular version. Any chance to get the link to the ROM as well?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] SirRGB:
You sure? File sizes and names differ.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] JoachimO:
Yes, both Links for the normal version are checksum. MicroG is OK.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] emil19:
Sorry for the wrong link. This one should be the right one:

lineage-16.0-20230702-UNOFFICIAL-kminilte.zip

The link edit widget shows only a very small part of the link... So editing is obviously sometime to difficult for me.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] waldfee:
thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] retr0sam:
Understand, thank you for your answer.

Another question. I understood that the cistom roms for the S5 mini still have some bugs and that performance is not as good as with the stock rom.

Is there any way that I can just remove everything from the phone that is connected with google? To de-google the phone so to speak?

Best regards

retr0sam
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] SirRGB:
Yea, you can uninstall a lot using adb or even just "disabling" the services on stock. You can find lots of guides on google.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] emil19:
After installing safetynet fix the mobile passes safenet check in microG. But after the last update install, the TAN app lost its registration... I will try after the next update again.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] emil19:
Yes I have enabled safetynet in microG and after installing safetynet fix, the mobile passes the test (in microG setup)

The patches are now marked as abandoned, so they may be not helpful (anymore).
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] SirRGB:
They are marked as abandoned because nolen doesnt want these to get merged into lineage, but it is perfectly fine to use.

Camera video recording 30fps on this build 20230702?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] haumich_blau:
I flashed the 20230702 version without GAPPS and everything went fine.

Now, some apps are complaining about missing google play services. Can I now, after I already had the system running, flash "open_gapps-arm-9.0-micro-20220215.zip" to get it?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] emil19:
I only add security patches. There are no changes in the camera part so far.

Recently I found, that simple camera records videos with wrong aspect ratio. So this app has some problems with the camera too.

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] emil19:
I am playing only with microG, as I want a mostly googlefree phone. So I can not help with open-gapps...
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] emil19:
I have now tried your recommendation, but with this SafetyNet fix and Denylist Unmount the micoG safetyNet test does not pass.

So I used again the original SafetyNet fix with magisk 26.1 and microG Safetynet test passes again.

But after the former update, the phone id or fingerprint has changed and my tan app lost the registration, which forces a snake-mail reauthorization...

So not the safetynet test itself is the problem, but a recognizable change of the phone id.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 2faraway2:
Good to know and thanks for the feedback :)

btw: Did you erase the microG cache before you tried my hint ? I assume that could be the reason that safety net didn't pass .. ;)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] bierma32:
Try to install aurora store apk.

Most of all apk you will find there, its an alternate to play store.

As long as call recording is working in the LOS sources (which I assume it is) then it shouldn't be too difficult. I'll look into it for next build.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Harp_River:
Greetings! I flashed the ROM today! It's pretty cool that all the basic (and not so basic) stuff works. The fingerprint is working but not perfectly (To be honest, the sensor is not the best on this device, either).

I'm not sure which camera app should I use (don't know the correct google camera version for this ROM).

Almost all the settings works. As far I checked: the ambient display options are not working.

Thank you for the good work
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Ultralord1:
Hello :)

I installed two days ago, I like the rom a lot, thank you so much.

I upgraded from your 14.1 LOS build :)

Everything works as expected, I discovered microG and like its functionality a lot.

I have had a weird problem with battery drain issue with both builds though, the battery doesn't last a long day, just a short one ;)

I did full wipe etc, I think disabling LTE does help, but it's still weird. Does any1 else have similar issues? I have a brand new battery bought offline from a large and trusted seller. The battery is losing charge very quickly when it's full, then lasts a while and then loses quickly from 30 percent on. Old battery did the same but different, didn't last long as well.

On my s4 mini I had way more battery life with LOS, any ideas why?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Harp_River:
I got the same battery problem but I believe is not related to the ROM. I was using LOS 14.1 and jumped to the official stock MM firmware. The battery was a little better there but the main problem persisted. Later I realized that 2 main elements were draining my battery: Display & Whatsapp...

Yes, Whatsapp drains battery as hell, especially if you disable network and Whatsapp is running. Mobile Network also uses a lot of power. I tried this ROM a day connected only to WiFi and the battery life was outstanding. My advice for you is: try to keep an eye for those things. Amoled Wallpapers + LOS Dark Mode lowers the battery consumption for display.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Thanks for the feedback. I have been using footej camera without any issues. I am not a big picture/video taker,but have taken my share without any issues.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
To revisit this issue with writing to /system in MiXplorer. It seems as though there is now an option in MiXplorer's settings -> more settings that needs to be checked in order to allow root. After checking this option all works as expected. Hope that helps.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Harp_River:
I was playing with the settings and found a detail with the statusbar. The network traffic option inside the statusbar settings doesn't appear to work. This is not something critical or anything, but I was wondering if this particular feature doesn't work at all or if it works under certain conditions.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Yeah,I noticed this as well. I believe it must be an LOS sources issue. So hopefully it'll be fixed in the next release.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] MrCreating:
In latest build I again can't edit files, backup chats in WhatsApp, maybe it fixed? (In test alpha build it all works fine)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Yeah,in the test build I disabled sdcardfs and reverted back to fuse file system just to test if that was indeed the issue. In the latest build I have gone back to sdcardfs as I made a bunch of commits relating to this in the kernel. However, it did not fix everything. Good news though I believe I have fixed most of the storage issues with 1 simple commit. This will be part of the next build.

EDIT:

Here is a boot image I made and posted on github with the fix. You can test it out by flashing in TWRP if you'd like. Just select flash image and select boot partition.

Feedback is appreciated.

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Great! Thank you for your feedback. I know it fixed a lot of issues for me, but I hadn't tried to backup chats. So I was curious about that. Good to know this is now fixed and I can check this issue off the list. It proved a real pain the @$$.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] g16patil:
Thank You For This rom
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Harp_River:
OK, so I've used this ROM for over two weeks now. I shared some basic feedback when I installed and tested but I can give you guys a more comprehensive feedback:

It's stable. There are some little things and details that doesn't work out of the box, but I believe they're not important. The only exception for some people might be the camera. A good solution for this is using the suggested app Footej. Depending on the resolution of photo and video it may lag (but Hey, we guys are not in this thread because of the camera, right?)

I also commented before about the battery life. I said that the consumption was mainly because of the phone and when using mobile data. After using it for two weeks I can notice that the battery consumption is higher than previous ROMs, BUT: We're talking about Android Pie! The Android system uses almost 500mb of ram because of all the pretty features Android 9 has to offer. So, this is a trade-off. I believe all S5 mini Pie ROM will behave the same.

The ROM is fluid. I don't usually see freezings or glitches. The dark mode is great. And we can always reduce the resolution or increase display size (called by the name in display settings) for better performance. Multitasking is good. It behaves just like LOS 14.1 when split screen.

I will keep using it for now :) thank you for making this happen!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] elsterkrug:
Hello, the ROM has been on my phone for a while now and I am quite satisfied. Today I noticed that the GPS does not work properly in all apps. In Oruxmaps and Sygic Car Navigation it works without problems, in Maps and cgeo, however, the location is not displayed and the app does not report an activated GPS. The permissions are set. Does anyone know this problem or does anyone know what I can do?

In addition, I have the problem that the wifi in idle mode is often disabled and can not find a setting to prevent this.

Otherwise, but many thanks for the ROM. It's nice that someone still supports the S5 mini.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] metterschling:
Another storage issue was the inability to download files with Firefox (I needed to use the built-in browser instead). This boot image fixes downloading with Firefox, well done!

- tested with various music players.

Everything else seems working great so far, thank you very much for this ROM and the continued support for our S5 mini :o
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
This issue is fixed. I also had this problem. Flash the boot image I posted a few posts up..or wait until this weekend and I should have a new build to release.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Morgan_Freeman:
So I think I found a bug, its definitely a minor one but when you have expanded desktop activated and you try to watch a video in landscape mode it, full screen it and then go back out of full screen, the whole progress bar and the full screen and mute button get cut off in the video player. I know this is very specific, just wanted to let you know and ask if you can replicate it

(in Settings turn expanded desktop on -> watch YouTube video in landscape orientation -> full screen video -> go back out of full screen)

Please tell me if you did and it worked for you or if its just my old phone having Dementia and forgetting, what to display. Ty

Edit: I'm using the DuckDuckGo browser, don't know if that's got anything to do with it
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] haumich_blau:
Thanks for the tip, but I need the google play services flashed into the os. This is not something the aurora store can do.
