Lineage 16 Troubleshooting with Samsung Apps

/Has anyone encountered problem where some of their Samsung apps wont work. I am having issues with Samsung Messages and Samsung Notes. I use these both for work so its imperative to have these functioning properly. Definitely a necessity. As of right now when opening either app the error i get is "Samsung Notes Keeps stopping". Upon getting this message it prompts me to: A) Open app info or........... B) Close app.

Also wanted to add the these two apps never even open. I simply click app icon and it just get the pop up I just mentioned.

I am currently running Android Pie on GS5 Specs as follows:

Samsung GALAXY S5-

G900T

(Lineage 16 unofficial)

BUILD :

lineage_klte-userdebug 9 PPR2. 181005.003462cac0678 test-keys

G-Apps

= Aroma

If i have placed this in wrong section can you please direct me to where i should post this. Thank you community.

can you please tell me how to download and install the stock camera. in lineos the camera app is not so good. thank you. If I make any mistake please forgive me coz I'm new in here:)
[Galaxy S 5 General] LokifiedMee:
Sorry for the late reply. This cannot be done because Lineage Os not based on Samsung Touchwiz. The stock camera requires Samsung Touchwiz, which unfortunately cannot work on Lineages Os which is based on Android Open Source Project (AOSP)

Thanks for this rom, which I managed to flash on my Samsung G900F. I met considerable problems, though, and tried several methods (Odin and TWRP). Flashing in TWRP did the trick for me (but only when I did not check the box for verified signature. One problem was that the phone either was stuck on the boot image, and, when I somehow was able to pass that problem, to avoid an endless looping into recovery mode, especially when I flashed the Gapps. It turned out that this package functioned: MindTheGapps-9.0.0-arm-20190615_031401.zip. A remaining problem, however, is that I cannot access Developer Options, even though the devices says it has been activated (I see on the web that this is a known problem). There was also a problem to get the Setup wizard to move on. I deactivated it in the TWRP, but I wonder if the two problems could be linked? (I saw a suggestion to that effect somewhere.) Now I don't get the slighly annoying Wizard saying that I should complete the configuration of the device, but I would rather have it work. I would appreciate to learn about fixes for these issues.
[Galaxy S 5 General] jenssa:
I found the Developer options, they were in System, Advanced, second to last option. Sorry about the false alarm.
[Galaxy S 5 General] LokifiedMee:
This is ok. Hope your having a good one

Hi there ,

Is there a possibility to clean install any kind of Android on a S5 smartphone,like how we install windows on our computer by formatting all disks and then installing windows .
[Galaxy S 5 General] knojap:
Yes.

1. Odin: Restore Stock Image

2. TWRP: Wipe Factory

Upgrade to a S8 or S9. Mine destroyed itself after I was playing RR3 and threw it against the wall. ..go figure.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddjr:
Hey Demando. Actually looking at the s8!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoshkapundrick:
Can you be more specific on "destroyed". Is the logic board intact?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james_rokr:
Changing the glass is something you're not supposed to do, and Samsung tries to screw you by making it so you destroy the amoled display, if you want to buy a replacement panel, they're not cheap, they are worth like 70usd (an amoled one not those crappy LCD imitations).

Its even a better idea to buy a used S5, they're like 80usd nowadays
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsc:
But still possible.

I've replaced four, the latest three were successful and still working fine...

Not an easy task at all.

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------

You can sell the main logic board, it costs $25 and up.

What variant of S5 was yours?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddjr:
G900v
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james_rokr:
Indeed its a feasible task, but a pain in the ass, for you may end up breaking the panel once you press the glass and the glue, let's say it is a hit or miss, but you will sure agree that samsung made it nearly unfixable so that you better buy a new display module instead of just changing the glass.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsc:
It's not the most dangerous stage of the process.

I'd say, cleaning after the glass separation is the most dangerous. Especially if you have to replace the polarizer (the LCD becomes too thin and easy-breakable without it).

I think, Samsung's aim was to make an excellent display and this was really achieved.

You know, this is difficult for the first and, probably, the second time to replace the glass only.

I'd suggest training on the broken LCDs.

You'll find it to be much more easy the third time ;)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Lastwurdz:
In short, I accidentally downloaded the 9.0 update and it says it will install after reboot. I would like to know if there is a way to either locate the update and delete it if at all possible. Or can I use one of my TWRP backups to prevent the update if I reboot straight to recovery. Any help would be appreciated.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dgunn:
The update is in the OTA folder. You may need to click the dots in the top right-hand corner and select view hidden folders. You can simply delete the downloaded file or move it somewhere else
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] b.huss2:
the way I understand A/B style phones is, it's probably already installed... just waiting on you to reboot to apply. It would be on another slot so I suppose you could reboot into recovery and switch slots back to the one that does not have the update installed. Of course I am not an expert and this is mostly just my own theory based on what I know.
[LG G7 One Guides, News, & Discussion] ChrisAG:
I thought it was simply camera improvements and a security patch because this is all that was said (though the 812MB size seemed a little big for a patch):

Android OS Upgrade

Camera funcionality has been improved.

Usability improvements through Google patch.

Update size: 812.2 MB

Folks, we have Pie :D. Downloaded in Toronto on Bell.

Interesting fact: the screen buttons showed the Pixel "pill" as the phone finished booting, then it reverted to the traditional 3-button layout. Not sure yet if it can be changed to the pill in settings.

[LG G7 One Guides, News, & Discussion] Aluminium X:
This means that the G7 One is the first LG device to update to Pie.

Quite exciting, I must say.

How is the experience? What has changed?
[LG G7 One Guides, News, & Discussion] ChrisAG:
The phone feels a bit snappier, yet the geekbench score is a little lower. They might have tweaked the frame rate a bit in 9.0 to make things smoother. The search bar is now at the bottom like the Pixel, which I like. You are given the choice of using the Pixel's gesture navigation or the traditional 3-button layout. I'm sticking with traditional, as I find the gesture option less efficient. Battery life seems a bit better but it is too soon to tell. Stock Android is a bit more colourful now in the settings icons and pull down menu. Overall I like it.
[LG G7 One Guides, News, & Discussion] Slingky1178:
Hi guys,

Be advised to remove your current microsd card before upgrading...

A few days ago, I installed the update to Android Pie on my brand new phone on Bell carrier (Canada).

Forgot to remove my microsd card and after the update ; it told me "corrupted sd card".

I had to put it on my computer to backup all the stuff.

Then I reinserted the card in my G7 One and reformatted it.

Then finally, I connected my phone to my pc and retransferred the data.

I had a similar experience on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge when trying to flash an Oreo rom over Nougat already installed and microsd card inserted.

My situation was similar to this post (I think they call that a "software lock") :

Can't post the url, but google "microsd corrupted after android upgrade", 1st result.
[LG G7 One Guides, News, & Discussion] bravomail:
Removing card might help. But the problem is Android creates some folders and files within SD card which signifies which apps can access SD etc. So if you face the issue - just remove these android service dirs/files - something like Android, data, obb etc. Be careful not to remove your pictures/videos in DCIM folder. Use PC for SD card management.

Full reformat will work too, but it is a little extreme :)

Hi all,

I set my volumes to 7 on my "night mode" profile however there are 5 volume toggles on my Note 9 and the bottom one after all the regular Android system ones is "Bixby voice" and i dont know how to simply set that to 7 as the obviously the option isn't in the normal audio setting actions.... they only contain Android system stuff and not manufacturer specific settings like all the fancy stuff that Samsung add to android... im sure its very simple im just urrghh so hard to learn this stuff... im currently doing a diploma on UiPath which is very very similar type of coding... thought id be able to use tasker but... alas... ugh ???

Thanks for any help ?????
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
I haven't used Samsung since the epic days [emoji6]. So I'm making a guess that there is a custom setting that might be found by using the AutoTools plugin -> secure settings -> custom setting assistant.

Autotools hmmmmm... perhaps
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] fletchy88:

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
Multiple bumps is rude [emoji6]

If using AutoTools you can not find the setting, then it's probably due to Samsung proprietary stuff. You could try posting in the Samsung forum to see if anyone has such information on the setting information for that volume level.

I feared that :( so ridiculous... i thought tasker was almost infinitely powerful and there would be a way no matter how granular or complex, deep or convoluted the solution would have to be
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
Tasker doesn't seem to be unable to change the setting, you seem to be unable to identify what setting to change [emoji6]. Like I said, ask for help identifying the setting in the Samsung forums.

Hi all,

I need a device that plugs into your wall and can connect to by an app on your phone to turn on. Or similar.

So my aim is to be able to turn a specific wall socket or plug on with my phone through an app or something. Also turn it off. I want to plug a lamp that has a USB connection(only way of turning on the lamp).

Kind of like the tesla cars and their app able to turn the heating on etc etc. Or those house thermostats you can control with your phone.

I'm sure there's a smart plug or something? Anyone know?

Thank you

Hi !

Is there anyone who are familiar with adding chinese support to WWE ROMs ? According to webpage of X01HT , by adding MSYH.TTF and revised WINCE.NLS will allow the system to view chinese and japanese in WWE roms .

I found that there are some install cabs which will install the font and nls to the system , but it seems not as stable as cooked one .

Please kindly advice how to cook the font and file system to the Herald WWE roms ? Thanks you !

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TPMJB:
So it looks like this will be my second time buying from eBay where someone tries to scam me.

Turn on the phone, realize it's google locked, and spend about an hour researching how to get around it. Maybe the guy forgot to remove it from his account?

I look it up on Swappa and see that the IMEI is clear yet it was FINANCED! (not eligible for resale.)

To ask what is probably a stupid question, I don't have any options, do I?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] grob971:
This has been previously discussed in the Q&A section. I also bought a Google locked V30+ intentionally and was able to work around it. Search for "bypass FRP LG V30/G6 Android 8.0 2018"
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TPMJB:
I went through that whole long process. But now it won't activate on my network. I think since it was financed I can't use it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] grob971:
Then maybe the IMEI is not clean. I recommend contacting the seller or get eBay involved if the seller didn't disclose that the phone was financed.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TPMJB:
Actually, it's a Sprint phone and I'm using an ATT MVNO card, so I imagine that's why.

Either way, not disclosing it was financed AND google locked is a **** move

If I can fix it I at least want 50 bucks back. Cost me $230. It's otherwise mint, however.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] grob971:
Mine also was a LS998. Works perfectly on Straight Talk (ATT) after the Google bypass and converting to US998. Try the conversion and see if that resolves the network issue. Good luck.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TPMJB:
It seems to recognize my SIM card now, but in Oreo US998 I can't change the APN settings (mine are wrong). Just stuck on the default ATT apn settings. No way to test it...

Edit: Sent myself a text ( I use google voice). It works!

Now I'm going to finish bootloader unlock and installing Pie...

...tomorrow lol. Also gonna try to get money back from eBay douchebag
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
You can get a refund from eBay due to seller dishonesty.

Next time, buy from eBay pro dealer who stands behind their products. Like this one:

LG V30 LS998- 128GB - Titan Black (Sprint) Smartphone A Mint - $299

I've bought from that guy several times or had others buy from him. Just make sure you get the "mint" one. Use Frankenstein to convert to US998.

OR if you want BRAND NEW IN BOX -- with 2-year LG warranty:

LINK REMOVED AS SELLER IS NOT RELIABLE
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TPMJB:
I mean, it's working now I just had dicking around to do. Not thrilled, but it did only cost me $230 and is otherwise a mint V30+.

Still annoyed.

Though I think if someone gave me a V40 for free but I had to use it on Sprint's networks, it would be worse than my current situation :laugh:

Edit: Also your guide helped me out a TON! Thanks!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ldeveraux:
You paid $230 for a $350+ phone (even if it's used) and didn't expect problems? Why'd you think it was so cheap? That's why I use Swappa almost exclusively now.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] water-:
Not to be a shill, I've got no connection to this listing. But if your'e fine with silver and 64gb base:

LG V30 US998 64GB US Cellular Smartphone-Silver-Mint

https://www.ebay.com/itm/173602248812

I just bought one at $319 less than two weeks ago and it was new in box, had the screen protector on it, etc. manufactured june of 2018 and it successfully qualified for 2nd year warranty. Legit. Best price I've seen shopping a ton on ebay and swappa.

Just bought another today, for my wife, the price is now $299. Super solid.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TPMJB:
Where the hell are you still finding the V30 for $350? Retail? Why would you buy a phone from retail?

I just picked up another one for $200 even. I'm giving it to a friend at cost after I unlock it so it can be used wherever (she is going back to Colombia in a month for good.) Colombia uses the same LTE bands we do, but this phone is Verizon Locked.

Still more than I'd spend on a phone. First Apple jacked up the prices of phones because its followers are incredibly stupid. Capitalizing on this, Samsung did the same for no reason whatsoever and those sheep followed. Then Google released the first pixel for 3 times the price of the Nexus 6P (which is barely any better than the 6P, aside from hardware issues,) so on and so forth. I refuse to buy into this trend. People leasing phones like you would a car is a problem.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] water-:
I agree with you entirely. The days of subsidized phones is over. Though I've seen the V30 go on sale for half of MSRP back in august on verizon for a few days. The Pixel 3 and 3 XL were buy one get one free for a week or so on Verizon. That's about $400~ for a new phone, which is reasonable.

When you paid $200, are you getting a new phone? I have my doubts about that. But link please if you're finding that.

Of course $300 is more than I'd like to spend. In 2015 early 2015 I got the LG G4 for $199 with a promo through Verizon, I wasn't changing carriers so had no problem with the 2 years contract. But for the tech I'm getting today compared to 2015, $100 more isn't terrible.

At the end of the day you certainly can choose not to lease but the MSRP of phones is crazy high. If you're getting a modern phone for cheap it's either really shady black market china/etc stuff (liable to get scammed), used, at least a year or more old model, or a flash deal that isn't something you can reliably bank on. I don't know how you can say you're opting out of high prices, you're not, you're compromising on something or have happened to get lucky in a way that isn't something everyone can plan on. $299 for a truly NEW, with mnfg warranty V30 is a pretty solid deal.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ldeveraux:
I'm not trying to weed through the same scams that you fell prey to on EBAY so I can find a phone that will maybe be as described, in decent condition, clean IMEI, etc. So if you want reputable; retail or Swappa or similar. Never EBAY. I was lucky to find a nice V30+ on Swappa, but there are no more for sale. I'm not talking about a V30. A V30+, like you said in the title. You know, the better one.

Bottom line is you found a deal that was literally too good to be true. Use discretion next time, especially if the device isn't even for you, but some mysterious Columbian 3rd party. Or whatever your story is now. :good:
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TPMJB:
Some scam. I got a working V30+ for $230. Google locked ones that have good IMEIs but the owner didn't pay his dues still go for around $200.

Is an hour of my time worth $100? I'd say so.

Also, it's "Colombian."
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
Same exact one I bought - first was at $319 for my wife... then I got jealous and she bought me the same one at $299 yesterday. Great deal for a BNIB phone, and I can certainly recommend the seller, as the device is exactly what was listed!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I'll add this to the WTF thread later tonight. That way there's a good selection of mint 128GB V30+ ($299), new 64GB V30 ($299) for same price, and then new 128GB V30+ ($378) -- first from trusted seller, latter two with warranty.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] grob971:
The V30+ is an awesome device but I can't justify paying $300 for any phone. I got mine for under $200 on eBay back in August. Mint condition, clean IMEI but was Google locked. A little research and effort and I was able to bypass the lock and convert to US998 (thanks to the awesome guides in this forum). You can still find these on eBay if you're willing to put in the effort. Definitely worth the $100+ savings. At least to me.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Septfox:
A bit late to the party, but if it hasn't already been said:

Clean IMEI means that the device has never been network blacklisted. Usually blacklisting happens because it's reported stolen or lost, and is irreversible as far as the consumer is concerned; it permanently blocks activation for the network.

Clean IMEI and no other flags means good to go.

Financed means it's still attached to an account and is still owed money on. You might be able to contact the carrier and pay off the balance; this would release the phone for reactivation, but will probably increase the cost to the point where you would be better off just buying a clear phone.

A financed phone is a ticking time bomb. At the point that the carrier decides that the original customer has no intention of paying the phone off, they'll blacklist the IMEI so it can never be activated on that network again (this includes MVNOs using solely that network).

Don't buy phones that are financed unless you know you'll never use it on its home network. If you have a decent feedback score, ask private sellers for the IMEI so you can check it before buying. Or, as others have said... just spend a bit more and buy from a reputable seller.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] grob971:
Agree 100%. That's where you have to do your research and put in a little effort before hitting the buy button. Do this and you can certainly get yourself an incredible deal on these incredible phones.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
That's fine, and makes sense. If you know what you're doing and want to take the risk of getting it to work, it's can be worth doing it this way. Or, like me, you can choose to make it simpler (and guaranteed) by buying an easier-to-hack phone. The choice is yours... there's no right answer.

My justification is that my Droid Turbo took us to 4 years (we're very good with our hardware... the laptop I'm using now is 8 years old, and still faster than what I use for work, which is brand new). $300/4 = $75/year for the new phone... I can live with that. But, in the end, you do you... I/we believe in the freedom of choice!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] gustav30:
Wow, and i thought the 360 I payed for my mint v30+ was a great deal...

Of course I got 2 good cases with it and preinstalled glass screen protectors front and back that were actually put on well.

But I've been scammed on eBay before. Nothing worse waking up one morning and not having any mobile data.

So I don't mind paying a bit more. Usually I go with the person that seems pretty passionate and caring about the phone they are selling and answer questions quickly and in detail. Those sellers are sometimes hard to find, because they are usually us. I also always ask in my question if the phone has been paid off and the IMEI is clean. This way if I ever get into trouble with it, it's evidence I can use.

I was scammed via swappa about 2 years ago on a v10 so same rules apply there as well. Swappa has become a resellers den lately and I do weed out all of the resellers.
