I still have a problem with this rom (also with crDroid 5.12, which is based on LOS 16 I think):

When i set network to LTE, my network power consumption is very high due to poor LTE reception.

So I switched to 2g-only in the network settings, because I only need it for Whatsapp messages.

But then the display wakes every few minutes for few seconds.

It turns off by itself within few milliseconds (just flickering) up to 20 seconds.

When I set back network to LTE or 3G this behaviour disapperas.

I tried a battery saver app to disable network while display-standby but it didn't help.

What can I do?

Edit:

I checked this on 2 different S5 mini, so i think it's a software based problem...
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] t---pl:
Hello,

just a short question. Is there a newer standard build than the one from 20200811 available? I only can download this august standard build one at the first page. I thought there has been a newer one released?

Many thanks for your work and reply!

Cheers
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] a-dead-trousers:
That's because of the recent XDA Update. Quite a bit of forum entries and changes got lost.

AFAIK the latest release was from november.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] t---pl:
Sounds reasonable. After some search, I found the newest build.

Many thanks and best wishes

Hey @spookcity138

You may remember that I touched base with you because my S5 mini often disconnected from the WLAN as soon as it went idle.

I tried to fix this by appling a static IP address, but it helped only to a certain extent (I am using a Fritzbox 7490 in my LAN, with up-to-date firmware).

The unexpected disconnects from WLAN does not happen so often any more, but it still happens.

For the sake of completeness, please find attached the radio.txt and logcat.txt I managed to pull from the phone just a few minutes after the last disconnect/reconnect event.

FYI, I have also noticed two additional bugs:

1) Camera

Something with the camera API must be funny. I am not always able to take pictures with the camera app, and if I use third party apps (e.g. ebanking app) that require to have access to the camera to scan a document, the camera stays dark. I grant those apps access to the camera and to the storage, but still to no avail.

Is there a way I can extract some log from the camera and send it to you for further inspection?

2) SMS

During some ebanking operations, I have to use an smsTAN based MFA. I noticed that on the notification screen (i.e. phone is idle, SMS comes in with a beep sound and a notification), I see the content of the first SMS. So far, so good. When I request a second MFA SMS, and the phone is still idle, I hear the beep, but I don't see the preview of the second SMS, but still of the previous one. This is also the case when I pull down the preview "curtain" from the top of the screen.

Would you be able to have a look at these issues as well, please? Let me know if the information above is specific enough - I am happy to extract more details from the phone to help you in your efforts!

Many thanks!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Thanks for the logs and I will have a look. If I notice anything and can easily solve I will,but to be very honest about this,at this point this project is just monthly updates with new LOS and Android secrity patches. I have spent much time on this device in the past and between real life and working on another device I just no longer have the time. I also haven't used my mini in well over 6 months now,except to test my builds for 5 minutes each month. I am only building for you guys at this point as I've spent a lot of time on this forum and met a lot of great people. So at this point really just expect monthly updates from me. Until this eventually ends also. Which may be sooner rather than later

If any dev wishes to take over this project they are obviously more than welcome. Until/if this happens I will try my best to provide monthly updates

I have a voice recorder app that I use to record lectures.

This app supports auto enabling 'Do Not Disturb' mode while recording. It is very useful.

But I have recently noticed that this option is off, and if I try turning this on, it seds me to a related settings page : "To silence the device while recording, allow the app permission to change Do Not Disturb mode".

But I get to a blank page that says: "This feature is not available on this device".

As far as I remember, this permission was available somwhere in the past.

Does anyone here have more info about this problem?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] fankool:
It happens, sometimes, also to me. I found only a possibility: remove the battery. But it neves happened when I used another fork, crdroid
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] fankool:
Does anyone find the possibility to use the mapsiwith microg build? i'm using often sports tracker for outdoor activity, and last time (2 years ago, on s4 mini) I tried to use microg build I hadn't the posbbility to see the map. The screen was blank. I like to use it because the battery lasted more and everything worked (except maps)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
This has been brought up a lot in this thread. It's caused by FlipFlap. Disable or remove it if you don't use. Maybe it's time I just remove it from the build. Do people actually use this?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Exciter666:
Me not ;-)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] fankool:
Yes please. I'm fighting with my phone, I understand what it does but I don't find the right section in the menu. I will try to remove the app
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] a-dead-trousers:
The option to toggle flipflap shoud be found in the settings under "Connected devices".

The problem itself is triggered by the phone being in direct proximity to a magnet (specifically in the bottom right corner of the front).

@spookcity138 replaces the link on the first post every time.

He used to keep links to all previous builds inside the changelog; It is no longer possible because of the new forum design behaviour.

anyone knows the reason of frequent reboots on this build?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 1Maxnet1:

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] a-dead-trousers:
Are you at least able to boot into recovery?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Jules63:
Hi all,

I've just flashed the rom on an S5 mini G800F and all seemed to go well, but after lineage attempts to boot for the first time (many minutes), it suddenly reboots again and the phone says:

"recovery is not seandroid enforcing" in red and it then goes to TWRP and stops there. I've tried wiping dalvik & cache but it just does the same thing again.

I have used:

lineage-16.0-20201112-UNOFFICIAL-kminilte.zip

twrp-3.5.0_9-0-kminilte.img.tar

and I installed TWRP with Odin 3.09.

Any idea what I did wrong? Thanks.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Avraham Tsaban:
1. It boots to recovery instead of the system. Check whether or not the phone's case is pressing any button (and try booting without it).

2. have you tried rebooting to system from the TWRP menu (Reboot -> system)?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Jules63:
It tries to boot to system but gives up, reboots and then shows the warning message "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" and goes to recovery and stops there.

Rebooting (system) from TWRP menu does the same thing.

The buttons all worked well whilst programming the phone and I don't think one is stuck down.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] a-dead-trousers:
The message "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" is the default prompt when entering the recovery and selinux (seandroid) is not active. So no problem here.

Did you do a "clean" install with a full wipe (Dalvik Cache, Cache, System and Data)?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Jules63:
Yes, I did all those wipes first.

Here's something interesting too, I just tried another zip downloaded from here onto the same TWRP, "crDroidAndroid-9.0-20201223-kminilte-v5.12.zip" which is Android 9.0 and that has worked and loaded OK and is running on the phone.

I had tried flashing "lineage-16.0-20201112-UNOFFICIAL-kminilte.zip" twice too so I don't know what went wrong with that build loading. I used the recommended TWRP for it too. As the other zip loaded OK I'm not sure I was doing anything wrong.

Hi,

is there a problem with WearOS? I see only the startupscreen.

I installed your standard build with pico GApps.

On other Smartphones with LineageOS 14, 15 and 17 WearOS works normal.

Unfortunately I need Android 9+ on the S5 mini.

I tried a lot till now but found no solution.

Can someone pls install WearOS and try to start it and look whats happen? Thats all.

thx
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 1Maxnet1:
What do you mean with that? As this is a LneageOS-based ROM do you have problems when you try to connect to a wearOS device (like a smartwatch?) And how do you connect and what is the exact problem ?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] JoachimO:
Hi Maxnet,

thats my problem:

I can install WearOS but when I start the App it hangs at the startupscreen. White screen with the W from WearOS.

I found that at the Google WearOS Helpcenter but it didn't helped for me.

With my S6 and LineageOS 17 and with this S5 mini and LineagOS 14 no problems.

But I need now this tiny S5 mini with Android 9+ for a new App
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] JoachimO:
No one whos running WearOS successfully?

Or can someone try install and start the App?

I need to know, is this a problem with the ROM (Android 9) or a setting problem.

Thats what I tried till now:

-more than one clean install of the ROM with GApps (pico & nano)

-older ROM Version (clean install)

-differnet user

-8 different WearOS Versions

-followed the instructions of the Link from Post #861

thx
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Tureilu:

Hi guy, can someone let me know why there isn't any android 10 release for our phone? Lineage team abandoned support for g800f?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] a-dead-trousers:
Sadly the kernel is too old.

ASFAIK @spookcity138 tried to port to LineageOS 17.1 but it wasn't stable.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] steve8x8:
@JoachimO I'm running WearOS on a S4mini on LOS 16.0 - started with a rather old version (2.9.0, from apkmirror) to support my Sony SW3, but meanwhile had to upgrade after switching to a Fossil Sport that requires proper WearOS 2.0 support. I've got a sweet suspicion why you need Android 9+...

I also did some experiments (with 17.1 and 18.1 available for the S4mini) and found that pico GApps wouldn't be sufficient, you'll need nano. Still the app may seem to freeze but the pairing still works (and restarting the phone will restore WearOS to normal function). This is for 2.9.0 though.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] JoachimO:
@steve8x8

thx for your answer. I 'solved' the problem with another S5 min. (GApps pico is OK, but you need to download Google App for WearOS)

With the new one, all running fine.

I think the problem is the link between the Phone (hard- & software) and the google account.

I forgot to disconnect the watch before flashing this ROM.

I guess google thinks the WearOS APP is running on the Phone, therefore it won't start.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] JG2021:
Hi there!

I'm new to the wohle custom rom thing but I got it installed and running!

Thank you for all the work you put into this!

I have one issue though: I can't get the IR blaster working 😕

I tried it with different Roms. Only LOS 14.1 managed to access the IR blaster.

Does anyone have similar problems? Is there a way to solve the problem?

Cheers,

Jakob
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 1Maxnet1:
Hi Jakob,

i did not yet tried to use the IR blaster. When you could sent me, which App or service you are trying i would try it myself too and can report my results then.

Cheers,

Max
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] JG2021:
Thanks for your reply!

I'm using Anymote to controll my HiFi and TV.

Cheers,

Jakob
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 1Maxnet1:
Hi Jakob,

I tested my IR Blaster and it works. I couldn't test it with Anymote, as the App crashes on Start-Up (maybe bacause I'm using the microG-build) But i tested it with IR Test and with TV Remote Control for Samsung. Could you try another app, beside Anymote and check if it works there? If the issue is specific to Anymote, I would try to reach their support then.

Cheers,

Max
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] JG2021:
Thank you very much for testing!! I followed your suggestion and tried another app, which is not as good as Anymote but it works (so in fact it's better now :))

It's amazing to be able to run Android 9 on my S5 mini! It's not super fast, but it runs quite smoothly.

I have another question which might be a bit off topic: Do you/does anyone know why it's not possible to charge the S5mini wirelessly using one of those pads that you plug into the charging socket. It works with another old Samsung phone I have but not with the S5mini...

Anyways, thanks for your help and time!

Cheers,

Jakob
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] PaintMB:
Hi

First of all, thank you so much for this build!

I got an issue on my phone though, but didn't have it first, it just appeared recently.

So, when I try to call someone, the screen just turns off and I have to wait for the other person to hang up, and only then I can push on the power button and the screen turns back on. Otherwise, not one button makes the screen turn on and I can't even turn the speaker on, while calling.

I had this same issue on another phone, so I don't think it's a problem with this build, but what is it? and how to get rid of it? I know it's something to do with the proximity sensor, so how can I turn it off?

thank you
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Tureilu:
I had this Problem once, but it disappeared. This Problem has been discussed in this Forum some time ago:

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-9-0-uno...os-16-0-beta-10-02-2021.3868612/post-80688905

Perhaps:

- test Hardware with the *#0*# Code

- Try to turn off accu optimisation for the Phone App

- Settings Buttons: End call with on/off button.

Sometimes the errors are very strange. For example: My Macrodroid App was not able to use Vibration Action. I turned on/ haptic Feedback then it worked...
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Jules63:
I have tried a fresh install of the latest version and the two problems I am seeing are camera app crashes - try flipping to selfie camera, and the auto brightness keeps resetting to high but you can install Velis auto brightness to fix this.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 1Maxnet1:
Did you use the preinstalled simple camera app? There are known problems with some camera apps, but the preinstalled simple camera one should work. Can't say anything to the auto-brightness problem.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Jules63:
Simple Camera does "kind of" work, though the 16:9 ratio photo preview is a bit weird. Also it looks like video in 16:9 is not possible, only 4:3. I have tried other camera apps but nothing works well.

Also, it seems it is not possible to update the Simple Camera app, this fails in Google Play, maybe because app is pre-installed.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 1Maxnet1:
The Camera not working in all applications is a known issue, but spookcity won't really investigate the problem itself, see here: https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-9-0-uno...os-16-0-beta-09-03-2021.3868612/post-84098259

Can't help you with Google-Play-Store, as I use the microG-build.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Jules63:
I see. A fix would be nice because it's kind of the big problem with the build.

I see Simple Camera is 5.3 the latest version anyway. Problem is, it takes photos but I have just noticed they all appear blank.

The fix I seem to be finding is to use Open Camera for photos and Simple Camera for videos.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Jules63:
Actually I think the blank photo problem is only if they are stored to SD.

Videos in Simple Camera seem to be rotated by 90 degrees though. Does anyone know of an app that will record video well?

This seems to be a problem with all S5 mini custom roms, camera is buggy and video recorder does not work in every one I have tried.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Tureilu:
Simple Camera is available at FDroid store.

I have no Problems with Photos stored on External SD-Card

Recorded Videos are stretched. I wrote to the Developer but he couldn't help. You can use xmedia recode on your PC to change the resolution of recorded videos.

I tried many free camera apps, but simple cam was the one that was working best. E.g. with the app which was preinstalled before it wasn't possible to make photos out of some other apps.

And all the other apps were freezing when I tried to make a video record and I had to restart the phone to get the camera app working again.

For most camera apps the S5 mini is not fast enough.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Jules63:
Yes, that does seem to describe it very well, and it looks like there is no fix coming so if you want to use any custom rom for the S5 mini you will have to post-process the video files to make them the right way up/stretch correctly. It's a shame because apart from this one fault this rom in particular is a great rom. I don't think it's the speed of the phone because the rom for the S4 mini worked fine on the video camera.

It's probably a dumb question, but: can I install the security patch on it's own or do I have to install the whole Lineage OS again? Cheers
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Tureilu:
You can do a dirty flash. Just install the newest version via TWRP without wiping anything. Magisk is updated automatically. Then wipe davlic and cache. It is just like installing the patches.
