[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Kenitilas:
ok I did the following steps:

1. I installed the latest stock ROM to have the "latest" vendor

2. check MD5 (as always -> matched)

3. Flash TWRP (3.3.1) -> latest

4. wipe system

5. install LOS

--> Ending up again with an error 7

(I also tried a LOS 14 and LOS 15 version: both worked for my phone)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] fidoedidoe:
If memory serves me...error 7 has something to do with the "assert" in the updater script used by the rom installation. If you open the zip, and drill into the folder structure you'll see the updater script is checking you have the correct hardware to install on...you can edit the script to remove the check...but that carries a risk. Are you sure you have the right variant of TWRP for your hardware?..if you're confident everything is good then like I say update the script...but please do double/triple check first..as flashing into wrong hardware is dangerous (brick)

i compared the file from LOS 16 with the LOS 15 (works on my phone) and those first lines are identical. I am pretty sure that this is the right ROM because i already flashed it to the phone and it was working..
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] rusty note user:
Greetings, I'm liking the rom so far but wondered if VoWiFi or VoLTE could be added?? I have seen a way to alter the stock rom (it wouldn't let me though) and wondered if it was possible in this rom.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Nevelet:
Thank you so much for your reply, you are right, everything can happen. Now I understand the true meaning of the HWC. Do you say that this could be fixed together with the video problem? Thank you!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] mongo0:
s5mini doesn't support either afaik, so there is no point adding software to it

Zip file is corrupt, says TWRP.

re-downloading the ROM and re-copying it to the inserted exFAT-formatted SDcard did not help.

I think that's the problem.

Has there been any changes to the oc kernel? Last time i used this device it didn't boot. Had that been fixed yet?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
There's nothing really to fix. It works for some and not others. I tried to figure out why long ago with no success, so it just kinda is what it is. I am using an OC'd kernel (1.6) with no issues for a long time now. Others I know do as well. I won't include it in the ROM specifically for that reason: It just doesn't work for everyone.

Hi, I'm starting to have an annoying problem with WIFI, it often disconnects, it can't be stable. There is a solution? Because it's annoying. Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] rodman01:
I noticed also wifi disconnections while I have 2.4ghz and 5 ghz wifi band in one AP of my router. And after separating or establishing 2 wifi aps, one with 2.4 ghz and one with 5 ghz in my router, and connected my device either to the one or the other, I had stable wifi also during deep sleep. Unfortunately the possibility to switch wifi frequency manually from automatic to only one of both was removed from sources since I think beginning of oreo. One can add an entry in build prop but then you alwyas have to change it there if you want to switch to the other band. Infos about the entry are here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78378056&postcount=1

This are only my experiences, but maybe it helps other too to tear down the wifi disconnection problem. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] elsterkrug:
I still have the problem with the unstable wifi. I would be interested in a solution too. When I try to open the link, however, only an error message "404 Page Not Found" comes.

Sorry the link was not complete while I copied it. Here it is again: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78378056&postcount=1

If the problem is similar to mine, then currently the solution or workaround is only to edit build.prop as explained in the post linked, or to setup 2 different APs /Wlans with your router: one 2.4 Ghz and one 5Ghz
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] elsterkrug:
Unfortunately I can not find the file indicated in the link, in the directory is such a file with me not ....
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] rodman01:
The file WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini does not exist in our device thats right, but if you add the line to build.prop it might work. Not sure, because not tested by myself, but maybe you can do it and report back? Otherwise I guess the only workround setting up 2 different Wlan APs, one with 2 and one with 5Ghz will remain. Sorry for the confusion. https://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/4zrchh/g3_fixes_megathread/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

BandCapabiliy: 0 = auto, 1 = 2.4ghz only, 2 = 5ghz only
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] elsterkrug:
I have now deactivated in my FritzBox the 5Ghz Wlan. Then there should be no aborts even without editing the build.prob, right? Unfortunately, there are still crashes and even in standby, the connection separates .... too bad, but that does not seem to be a solution, at least not for me.

For future builds:

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_vendor_lineage/+/251804

This patch prevents booting, loops forever in boot animation.

Reverting it the phone boots fine.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Melonenkompott:
I've found out the reason, why I wasn't able to write on the external sdcard: I've had removed the preinstalled file explorer
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Many thanks for this! I appreciate it. I have to think that perhaps a permission(s) is missing or something from the vendor/lineage/privapp-permissions-lineage.xml file. Missing permissions will cause a bootloop. I know from experience as I've done personal builds with added apps that I use included in the build process (Nova launcher,tasker etc) and the first time I had a bootloop. I needed to add some permissions to get it to boot. Anyway,thanks again. This surely saved me some head scratching at the very least. If it doesn't boot for me the next time I build I will create a patch to revert this and push it to the smdk3470-common repo.

Thanks for the follow up. I am glad you got it sorted!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] fidoedidoe:
Hey [MENTION=7065337]spookcity138[/MENTION], it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on Android 10. Is it something that you'd be interested in pursuing on this device? Not asking for any specifics just the general direction you foresee.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Well,I have been following Android 10 news and know that it was officially released yesterday I guess. I am way overdue for a new device and plan on getting one soon. That said, I am going to keep my S5 Mini and would love to try to get android 10 going for it whenever LineageOS 17 starts rolling out. It will all depend on how much time I have and how difficult it may or may not be. There are things that will not work almost certainly (NFC,HWC),but if I am able to get it working on a similar level as this ROM I would be very happy. I am just not real sure what problems may arise. As long as I am able to get any sorted out and have the time to do so I will do my best to get Android 10 going on this device. I suppose it will be a couple/few months before Lineage 17 starts rolling out? I can never remember how long it usually is after Googles official release.

Also, [MENTION=8002612]Panzerknakker[/MENTION] : This commit should hopefully fix the non-booting issue due to the commit in vendor/lineage.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Panzerknakker:
I see the WLAN disconnects and reconnects when the phone changes it's GSM/LTE cell.

E.g. walking inside a WLAN supplied house from the window front south to the north side.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Fuzzyma:
I have the problem, that my phone is not connected to the mobile network very often.

A restart often fixes this issue. This did not happen with the original samsung build. Does anyone else has this problem?

I also encountered problems with the proposed camera. Especially recording videos is not possible. Any ideas here?

And as a last question: I did not save the original rom for a backup. Where can I find the samsung rom in case I want to go back?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Tureilu:
1. Try turn on/off Airplane mode to establish Network Connection. It's working for me.

2. See first page of this Thread:

Not Working

HWC (Hardware Composer)

NFC

Encryption - Trying to encrypt your device will stop suddenly after a few seconds and possibly cause a bootloop.

SELinux

Video recording via stock camera app (footej camera works fine. Possibly others)

mh jeah that could work. However, it is a rather bad solution because that just shouldnt happen. But I guess it is really hard to fix

Thats what I tried. Unfortunately not usable at all :/

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Cynic_Custodian:
Thanks, just now notice I haven't reacted to this.

Would it help for me to keep the phone updated with your custom roms for testing purposes or wouldn't it matter if you haven't done something specific?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] elsterkrug:
Hello, I have been using the ROM for a while now and I am very satisfied. Everything is fully suitable for everyday use. The occasional Wlan crashes are not nice, but to cope. Maybe there is also a solution for it. Thanks again to spookcity138 for the great work.

What I've noticed lately is the extremely short battery life. Have tried it with different batteries and it is the same with all. I disabled Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, also the WiFi search is disabled and GPS and NFC also. The automatic synchronization is also off, I synchronize manually. In addition, I use Intelli3G, so the phone in standby is always in 2G mode, so no great search for better network. At night I turn on flight mode. Nevertheless, I only come to a running time of 24 hours, then the battery is down to about 5 percent (usually I charge more, or change the battery). Screen time about 1.5 to 1.75 hours. I would be interested to know what experiences you have with the battery life? Is it similar to you? The S5 mini has never had superior battery life, but with Stock-Rom or with Lineage 14, I have always managed 1.5 to 2 days. Does the ROM need so much?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] a-dead-trousers:
With 2 days since the last charge I'm currently down on 20%, a active screen time of 50min and 2h 19min wake time. (I use BetterBatteryStats for this)

My usage pattern is like yours with the exception that I have the automatic syncronisation on. So as soon as I activate the Internet I get a ****load of messages :p

In my experience with this type usage pattern the screen is the biggest battery drain. Every now and then I set my display standby time to 30min to prevent the phone from going dark during a large download (Using a magisk module I have GMS on Doze so going to standby would cancel the download). When I forget to reset this (even if I manually turn off the screen with the power button) the battery lasts less than a day. The same thing happens with turning up the brightness on a sunny day. Although I don't turn on the screen that much it seems to be enough that it feels like the battery is drained a bit faster than usual. My brightness is normally around 10 - 20%.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] handyflo:
I use this ROM with open gapps pico version.

The system feels very slow, so I would try to use the microg version.

But there is no playstore pre installed? How can I get a suitable play store for microg? I only use free apps, no paied version required.

Is this ROM compatible with VOLTE?

I use the German o2 network with a simcard where volte is activated but I don't have any settings to active volte.

Do I need a German o2 branding?

Currently when making a call the network does change for LTE / 4g back to umts / 3g which does take ages.

Install Aurora Store or Yalp Store from F-Droid (Fakestore from microg as well, if it's not already included in the rom)

* Synced LOS sources
* Latest security patches (September 2019)
* Merged latest lineageos/hardware/samsung sources into our hardware/samsung repo
* Moved GPS XTRA_SERVER entries to overlay (I don't think they were being read as part of the gps.conf file)
* Added privapp permissions file as LOS started Enforcing privapp-permissions whitelist which prevented our device from booting (Thanks to @Panzerknakker for figuring this out)
* 75+ kernel commits (network,security,etc)

Enjoy!

thanks the store alternatives works fine, not sure which of the boh a fancy more. I could not find any soluion for my german o2 VoLTE issue, do i need a Branding or is there another solution?

I also have problems of sync my google contacts as well as calendar entries, is there any simple solution for?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Nevelet:
Yeah! Thank you for your fantastic work. I would like to tell you about an annoying problem that I am experiencing these days, I have continuous reboots while for example I make a video or upload a story on Instagram. What could it be?

Reboots after update

First of all: Thank you very much for your great work on this ROM!

Unfortunately after you latest update on 09/10 I encountered random reboots, soon (about 5 minutes) after the phone has successfully booted. I now have reverted to the previous version. Is there a solution, and does anybody else have this problem? Unfortunately I don't have a log on this, but I never had this problem before using your ROM.

Anyway your work is very much appreciated!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I am not really sure what is causing your issue honestly,sorry. If it always happens when doing things related to video,then there is a good chance its related to that. The camera/video recording on this ROM is very far from perfect. Does it always happen when using Instagram?

Hmm,strange. I didn't test out the build I uploaded yesterday for as long as I usually like to before I post it on here. That said,I haven't had any reboots.

The only changes that would seemingly cause any real issues were the kernel commits. If others are having this issue as well I will look into it when I have some time,but as I said I haven't had a reboot in a day plus now.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Brummschaedel:
Just wanted to say that the 9/10 ROM runs stable since two days now, no reboots for me. Thanks a lot for your work! At first glance, the Wifi seems more stable, but let's observe this for some days.

reboots after last update

reserected this phone for the missus and well appreciate the work Spookcity138 bringing LOS to the old s5 mini, well done

Sorry didn't pull log's before restoring to previous build but hopefully info below helps,maybe's?

only thing i've changed is Network to Reno in TA ,no other modifications (just an addition from old days when I used as my daily)

changed recommended data from LTE to 3g in LOS settings, massive improvement in battery life,I'm on O2 uk carrier and phones biggest drain is network

no social media,no gaps, all apps F-droid apart from Navigator(direct download apk)

Process:

backup data in twrp(back up apps in TB just in case)

usual format & full wipe before installing to new build

reboot then reboot back to recovery

wipe data,copied data backup & reboot again

reboot to recovery & install magisk after

everything worked ok prior to the last update then repeated booting within couple of mins after connecting to wifi via Expressvpn app

quickly uninstalled Expressvpn app before reboot and tried again then reboot on file explorer also

returned to TWRP, wipe process again,installed build then recovered apps via TB minus expressvpn at first then reboot again followed by constant rebooting within couple of mins,wifi connected at the time no vpn or firewall

returned to TWRP, wiped, re-installed previous build copied over data and all working perfectly as before.

cheers again for the work you're putting into keeping the old s5 mini up & running well after Samsung have let it go
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] box90:
Thank you for the update :)

Is it recommended to wipe system, data,... when I upgrade from the latest built August 2019?

Has anyone problems with the microphone? I have the problem that the person can hear me very quietly or not at all during a call. After some time it works normally again and then it is quiet again ...
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Nevelet:
Thanks for your answer! For now it only happens when I want to upload a story to Instagram or when I make a video with the "Footej Camera" app. So I think it's related to the problem of video recording. If it continues like this I will be forced to return to the stock at least until everything is resolved. ?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] mongo0:
hm yes footej also works for me but it might be a problem with the storage since stock camera only gives me "Insert an SD card before using the camera"
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Wubbiwub:
Hey, first of all thank you for your hard work here. However, with the last update im stuck in a boot loop and always end up in TWRP . Is there an older version I could try to install?

Edit: Okay, I found my mistake. TWRP was not up to date. I still have a question though: This version is not a rooted version right? Because I can't open banking apps on my Samsung Mini, they are stating my phone is rooted. I have another custom Lineage Version on my One Plus One and there banking apps are working fine. Do you have an idea about that?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Tureilu:
LineageOS is not rooted.

To root you need to install Magisk:

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk

When rooted you can use Magisk hide root to prevent Apps to check root. Sometimes this doesn't work.

Sometimes banking apps check your sd card. If they find a clue for root they won't work. Perhaps you have an artefact (f.e. supersu) from a previous installation.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] a-dead-trousers:
Also, some banking apps check the SafetyNet state and everything else than "strict" is considered not safe (or "rooted")
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Moogle:
Hello,

I'm really happy with this build in general but recently my camera has begun failing to start (yes I'm using footej camera).

Normally I could uninstall - reinstall footej and it would begin working again, but now it stopped working completely.

If anyone could offer a suggestion or workaround I'd be very gracious. Using a camera daily is a necessary feature for me.

If you are using OpenGApps, try an older version.

Following helped to get from the LineageOS logo backt into TWRP:
