First of all thanks for all the work put into these fantastic ROM.

I have a question: Running Stock-ROM Android 6.0.1 on SM-G800F ANT Tester reported that onboard ANT hard ware is found but no firmware support. As is confirmed in the apropirat thread here in the forum the SM-G800F has a BCM4334 on board that should be able to handle ANT.

IF I run ANT Tester on this Custom-ROM it says there is no onboard ANT hard ware. WHy is that the case?

And much more improtant, is there a Custom-ROM for SM-G800F that does include firmeware support for ANT?

I would prefere Android 9 but if it is in earlier version and not in this one, I might consider the earlier.

Regards

Ralf

First of all thanks for the efforts to firmware maintainers!

I would like to share first my experience with installing LineageOS on my G800F phone. I would say that installation went smoothly and I am quite happy with the result.

No more annoying Samsung stock applications, which I didn't use. Now I have more internal memory for other uses!

Applications work faster and the phone consumes less battery.

Stock camera application works fine with both front and rear cameras.

gapps mini does not fit the partition, but micro edition worked just fine!

Android 9 instead of 6 is a pleasant addition.

However:

NFC seems not to work. I can enable it from top menu, but NFC Tools cannot detect any NFC tags (found first this post that it never worked :( but then later post that it is supposed to work).

LED indicator works, but is not customizable (or did I miss this setting?). On Samsung OS it was possible to make it blinking when a new message arrives (Settings → Display → LED indicator).

If somebody has an idea of application to substitute Screen Mirroring feature, that would be great. At the moment there is only possibility to cast audio to e.g. Google Home, but not possible to share the screen via Miracast to e.g. TV that supports this feature.

Thanks in advance!

fresh install, wiped everything...

no mtp detected? it charges and everything seems to work fine but no option to pick mtp for data transfer and the entire menu is greyed out like it does not recognize that its pluged in to a computer.

odin still findsthe s5m in download mode so its not the cable or the device.

however the above twrp also does not have mtp for file transfer..

is this just a me issue with this device?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 1Maxnet1:
Nice that it works well for you, here are some additions:

OpenGApps nano already include everything, that is not available in the PlayStore. So everything else can be installed afterwards.

As far as I know LED Notificaton isn't customizable

NFC works fine for me
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 1Maxnet1:
MTP works for me. When you connect it there shoul be a notification saying you are charging, where you can switch between the modes. You can check different cables, but it should work on this ROM. Might be a problem with your device, as it works in TWRP too, iirc.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] dma_k:
Concerning NFC: I believe it works in some combination. Which Samsung model do you have? I was installing lineage-16.0-20210517-UNOFFICIAL-kminilte.zip on SM-G800F (original Samsung firmware was MMB29K.G800FXXU1CRB).

Actually, I see that NFC icon appears in pop-up menu which slides from the top, and I can enable/disable it. But after I start NFC Tools that app cannot read any NFC tag. OK, maybe I have some firmware failure, but maybe there is some log which I can check? Or run some additional verification?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] dma_k:
Maybe you post the screenshot of what do you see in Settings → USB Preferences when you connect USB to the computer? In my case File transfer menu item is available, so MTP works fine. Also, when I boot TWRP in recovery mode, I can transfer files to SD card, so that works as well. Have you disabled USB debugging (ADB)?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 1Maxnet1:
I got an SM-G800F too. don't no what the original firmware was. NFC Tool s works with my phone too. You could reflash a downloaded original firmware and reflash this rom, but idk any other ideas. Dunno which log to check.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] nutpants:
it was usb debuggning, turned that off and everything is working fine now..

anyone else having horrible battery life?

ex kernal battery app reports the rom is useing 4% an hour in sleep mode

ad 35% an hour with screen on.

its the sleep mode that is killing me

my s4 mini get 0.5% an hour in sleep mode and that is the worst of my

s4, s4mini, s5,s7, note2, note3,s7e phones on linage 16

i ordered a new battery to see if that is the issue. and im testing the s5mini on the latest 2021 ctk1 samsung 6.01 rom to see if its better

Updated

Changelog

BIG thanks and all credit for this months improvements and changes go to

@html6405

Enjoy! (y)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] dma_k:
I suffered from battery drain on original Samsung OS, but from my short experience LinageOS is more efficient and that saves the battery. So I have the opposite experience. On your side I would test the real capacity of the battery, for example, I use SkyRC MC3000.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] nutpants:
i am just reporting back on battery life.

i used titanium to disable, exchange services, camera, fdroid and privileged fdroid installer, and automatically by battery usage per dropped to %0.25 an hour from %3+ an hour before.

the camera worked hit or miss and i never used fdroid ( i use fdroid classic) so who really knows why the battery usage got so much better so fast.. but ill take it,

everything else i use in the rom seems to work.

(camera seems to work fine with simple camera)\

update 2

seems that battery use changes with every boot it runs for a day or 2 at 0.3% an hour to 2% an hour. and it is not the battery monitor as charging time appears consistent with how much battery has been used.

very strange indeed.

over all i am happy with the operation of the rom but i question the phone itself.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 1Maxnet1:
Reagrding Screen Mirroring: DId you try out in Settings > Connections > Screen Sharing (loosley translated, as my phone is set to german) ? This might be the feature you want.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] nutpants:
anyone have the notification light working for 3rd party apps?

i use silence for text and no light at all

seems to work for factory apps
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Uhuy321:
Just installed the room on my 6 years old s5 mini, the perfomance is better than official room, it's much faster

Thanks for developers
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 1Maxnet1:
I use Telegram and it can make use of the notification light
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] polaxis:
As always, great work. Thank you very much for keeping this device alive!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] dma_k:
Minor observation:

On some reason the camera application org.lineageos.snap does not work properly: when it starts it shows a black screen. The application com.simplemobiletools.camera works just fine, although in some situations on small distances (~30cm) cannot stabilize the focus (keeps on changing it back and forth).
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 7wells:
Do you guys use both cameras (org.lineageos.snap and com.simplemobiletools.camera) together or remove one? If used together, could this maybe lead to unwanted side effects? Personally, I better like the org.lineageos.snap camera, but it sometimes crashed, so I would also like to keep the other camery app as backup. Is this ok?

@spookcity138 Thank you so much for your updates! (y)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Napfuzius:
I'm relatively new to this topic but yesterday I flashed the S5 mini from my wife (it bricks itself by the stock rom). It works nice (I use it without GApps). Thank you for your work.

Unfortunately I'm not sure if i can use the phone as a "daly-driver". Is there anything to watch out for, or do you have any suggestions?

Kind regards
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 1Maxnet1:
Congrats on flashing :D

I'm using this Custom ROM as daily driver for a year and a half now and it works fine for me. Nothing to watch for beside flashing the updates once a month to keep up with security fixes. You may check whether the camera apps work well enough for your usages.

Kind regards
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Napfuzius:
Thanks. The simple camera app works just fine for me.

Some beginner questions:

Did you use GApps, or any Google-Account?

How are the contacts saved, on the device?

Are there any security issues? So I read the informations about this ROM at the beginning of this thread. I don't really understand the listed points (like the encryption did not work).

Thanks a lot.

Kind regards
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 1Maxnet1:
I do use microG with my Google-Account connected.

I save my contacts on a Nextcloud instance and sync them with CalDAV davx^5

Well there are security issues:

The security fixes of LineageOS are up to date, but the kernel is not fully up-to-date

As encryption is not working, you cannot use it. I didn't use encryption on the stock rom, so I'm not missing it.

For me, although the security situation is not perfect, I value keeping the device alive longer, more important then having a the best security possible.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Napfuzius:
Okay, I flashed the standard ROM.

A own cloud is something i like to do in some further steps.

So most of the time the fault is in front of the device. What can I do to prevent any problems from occurring in the first place?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] SirRGB:
Well, encryption doesnt work and SELinux is permissive

No encryption means that strangers, who have physical access to your device could read your data (e.g. through twrp) and permissive kernel means, that apps are less restricted by the system, thus dont trust every external apk source, because they could do some serious dammage.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Napfuzius:
After a little bit of testing and using the my new flashed S5 mini, I had a lot of battery consumption, even in standby. Is it normal or did I a big mistake in configuration?

Kind regards
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] nutpants:
mine was crazy horrible at first, and then it got better, now it changes from good to horrible at every reboot. and i made no serious changes to my configuration.

(even got a new battery to test that)

my s4 mini battery lasts 2x longer on android 9 then my s5 mini.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Napfuzius:
So I can't really do anything about it?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] nutpants:
i would give it a week or two and see if it gets better.

it might just be my phone.

i have 7 or 8 samsung devices and the s5 mini is the only one that i have any issue with on custom roms. so it might be my s5mini.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 7wells:
I observed that this ROM (incl. pico OpenGApps) runs very nicely on the S5 mini - until I registered my Google account. Since then I experience Wifi outages (i.e. repeated disconnects and reconnects to my home router) and an overall lag of the phone (with hardly any extra apps installed). I had done a clean flash. So currently I'm unsure whether these side effects are indeed related to adding my Google account or something else. Has anybody else experienced something similar?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 7wells:
@spookcity138

Thank you so much! Is there a way to get automatic updates?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Amadeus1965:
@spookcity138

Thanks Spooky!

Since your update in July even WiFi has no connection problems anymore (but I didn't recocnize too many changes apart from the security update). Great that you already merged the latest Android security update this quick in the August update. Many thanks!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
No sorry. These are unofficial builds,so no ota
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] robin0220:
Thank you so much for offering support to this old phone, i appreciate your hard work ! just wanted to say thanks, that's all.

btw. the animation when opening the phone feels very slow, set in developer mode animations to 0 but had no effect.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] SirRGB:
maybe update your twrp to 3.5.2
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 7wells:
Which older Magisk version did you use? Thank you!

And sorry that I have no idea why you experience these problems with attachments. Have you tried other apps (beyond email apps) that work with attachments? Do they have the same behaviour? Is it maybe because your attachments are stored on an external SD card on your device and there is some access problem with it? Have you tried to use attachments from your device's internal storage?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] dugmar:
"..WLAN-button has to be clicked twice every time.."

This is happening to me also but only in recent versions.

I find WIFI disabled and need to turn it on more than once to make it stay.

However, big kudos to spookcity.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Tempak:
I jumped from LOS 14.1 to lineage-16.0-20210811-UNOFFICIAL-kminilte.zip, clean flash with open_gapps-arm-9.0-micro-20210902.zip, Magisk-v21.4.zip with success.

Excepting camera issues, I have the same low magnetometer refresh rate, like in LOS 14.1. It looks absolutely the same like described in this post.

Any fix for that for LOS 16 ?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] oliv4:
Too bad the encryption is not working. Is there any technical explanation?

In any case, this is a deal-breaker for me, I will stick to the S4 mini.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Napfuzius:
Hey there, it's me again. ;-)

I like to thank @spookcity138 for the work on this build. It's the reason, why I now use an almost completely degoogled BQ Aquaris X and my wife uses the S5mini again.

But I have a problem (both devices are affected): Random WiFi disconnects, mostly at home, but I'm able to reconnect every time. It works, but is a little bit annoying. Did someone have the same issue and/or a solution?

Kind regards
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] jimbob00:
can this rom be dirty flashed over LineageOS 14.1 ROM by hennymcc ?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] MikeT.:
Clean flash is (always) recommended, especially in case of switch to another version
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] jimbob00:
thanks
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] jimbob00:
i did the dirty flash all went ok. but still got the bug when receive and make any call the display goes off and impossible to turn it on until the caller drops the call.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] hukd:
Is there a chance, that the camera and encryption error will be fixed soon?

What about LineageOS 17 and 18 are they being developed?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] phi-whiterabbit:
I have the same problem. A new battery did not solve it. Sometimes the device even gets REALLY hot while draining the battery, just as if the CPU frequency governor goes mad and simply lets it run at maximum performance all the time.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] abagm:
Same issue - I thought running LOS 16.1 might simply cost more energy than marshmallow- might be a very noob idea.

Your new patch (18/10/2021) has a bug. I installed it on my SM-G800F and when setting it up, looking for updates, it searches for a long time despite the correct WiFi password. Either it's LineageOS, Gapps, or My Device.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 1Maxnet1:
Where do you look for updates ? In the PlayStore? F-Droid and Aurora still work fine for me.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] RealSalva:
When I setting up the WiFi.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] 1Maxnet1:
So if you won't to connect to wifi it gets stuck? This is a known bug. Just disable wifi again and reenable it. It happens 1-2 time after a reboot and then it should work
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] RealSalva:
I did it like that too, it doesn't work for me. I'll wait until the next patch.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] abagm:
Hi, recently I discovered your builds. Great! As far as I see the latest AICP- ROM you made seems the smoothest and less batterydraining on my device. Are there any chances you'll make an update or is that too difficult in comparision to LOS? Thank you!

When using the CovPass app, it is not possible to scan a QR code. The camera is slow and glitchy.

On the other hand, scanning the QR code of a vaccination certificate using the Corona-Warn-App worked. So it might be an issue with the CovPass app.

Anyways, I attached a log file. Maybe it's something obvious.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Porthmeus:
Hey - thanks for the build and the regular updates.

I have been using it on my phone since a while now - but I have really problems with battery drainage. I barely make it through the day and only if the phone is just lying around. But drainage happens no matter if in standby or me using the phone. Largest consumer is mobile standby (~15% usually) in the list of battery consumers of the systems settings. I use a SM-G800F phone and I replaced the old battery (no difference to the old one actually). Since other users experience similar problems - is there any chance you may look into that problem? I am willing to help where I can.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] SethGeckoXDA:
To troubleshoot the battery drain, you can do the following:

- activate aeroplane mode over night and see if it stops the battery drain.

- if yes: go to settings - Network and Internet - Mobile Network - Preferred network type and choose 2G. Again, let it sleep over night and see if the battery drain occurs.

If the battery drain only occurs when the preferred network type is set to 3G or LTE, you can think about leaving the option set to 2G and only switch manually to LTE when needed. Of course this is only viable if you don't need highspeed internet all the time. For Whatsapp and background activity of apps, 2G is enough.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Porthmeus:
Thanks SethGeckoXDA for the super fast reply. I tried what you said - regarding the airplane mode I have tested it before and that effectively prevents battery drain (~80% battery left after a day without much usage) thus I would assume the drainage is caused by any of the connections to the outside - Wifi, Bluetooth, mobile service, you name it. Today I set the phone to 2G only but that did not help. Tonight the phone is pretty much dead (2% battery left). Again I would be happy to help, as it is currently the only phone that I own and is working.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] SethGeckoXDA:
If you have not done it already, you can now try turning off all other services (WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, ...) to determine if only the mobile network service is actually the culprit.

If mobile network is responsible for most of the battery drain, it can either be

- a bug in the firmware or LOS keeping the device busy.

- or a wakelock caused by one of your installed apps.

If you don't mind putting in some work and doing clean flashes, you can try:

(1) installing only LineageOS (clean flash),

(2) then installing LineageOS + GApps (clean flash)

(3) and finally LineageOS + GApps + your usual apps (clean flash + install your apps one by one to determine the culprit).

In all of the three installs, let the phone rest for some time with mobile network enabled and see if the battery drain occurs.

If the battery drain happens in case (1), it obviously is a bug in either the firmware or LOS.

If the battery drain occurs in (2), you could try another version of GApps (OpenGApps, mindTheGApps, ...)

If it happens in (3), either remove or properly configure the apps which cause the drain.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Tom_Nook:
idk about LOS 16, but LOS 14 have battery drain without simcard+airplane+wifi. i tried with LOS stock kernel and Spookcity kernel -- nothing changes. use wakelock detector... and dont see any issues

think, LOS 16 have same problem because kernel sources the same. kernel aduitor show phone is sleep, but at this moment battery drain like if you use screen
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] abagm:
Thank you for your post. I tried with various builds that spookcity provides your proposals. Device uses to be in aeroplane mode; I have 19 user apps, no one uses wakelocks or background services; I do not often use the phone as phone - and with all those measures the battery (charged when 20% left) may last in standby round about 3 days but lasts UNDER 3 hours at all in use. That's what I call battery drain.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Porthmeus:
Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I tried several things over the last days and it seems to be in fact some of my apps + some system specifics which cause the problem. So just to start from the beginning - I use the microG version, so no GApps involved. Anyway I systematically tested my apps and their behavior and found indeed several that caused (a partial?) wakelock contributing to the problem. However, the most notable difference was due to the usage of Bluetooth in the background (using a smartwatch [unimportant cause barely used] + CoronaWarnApp [important to me]) - turning off bluetooth had the greatest impact on the battery life time improving it a lot. Another thing which helped, was turning mobile network type to 2G instead of LTE. With the apps being fixed, the LTE and bluetooth turned off, I get a battery life, which at least brings me through the day without recharging - which is ok but no ideal. So I am not sure whether that is a problem which can be solved easily.

I currently use different profiles for being at home or on the way which turns on/off the bluetooth triggered by my WiFi - however that leaves me with the problem of having battery drainage, when not being at home (CoronaApp) on the one hand. On the other hand when on the way I have to dive all the way to the settings to turn on LTE.

So two things I am wondering about now:

Is there a way to improve battery life without turning off the connectivity? (I guess that is the harder nut to crack)

Is there at least a simple trigger I can set to turn on LTE when not connected to Wifii?

Thanks in advance, I really appreciate the help!

Hey Dude, where is the German one? I need the German Version. Besides that, it also works on an ARM Cortex-A7 1.40 GHz processor too.

This rom has a camera problem. It mostly crashes. Tried to fix it with several methods, no chance.

Sometime it works,mostly the camera crashes. I can not recommend a rom where the camera is not working. On Android 7.1 with diferent roms ,i had no cam problem.

I went back to stock rom. All is fine

again.

The developer seems not to be insterested too fix it.
