I know encryption is not a very sexy topic, but I see that any LOS above 14.1 is actually unable to encrypt the phone. The ROM's do indeed support encryption, as they boot from an encrypted data partition, but only LOS 14.1 is actually able to successfully encrypt the phone. All other ROM's result in a boot loop and the the only way out is to format /data entirely.

Is that a known issue ? i guess that is another reason official 15.1 for S6 is still not available.

thanks !

What's your average battery life using this ROM?

Charge: 46%

Last Full Charge: 12h 46m ago

Screen usage since full charge: 1m

Basically drained from 100% to 46% whilst being idle the whole time, most of it overnight while I slept.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Sub_Zero2:
Yes, power performance profiles is not working...

Personally i leave the phone charging overnight for now, as currently it will drain battery when not being used.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] lars85destroyer:
I've used your latest build for two days before going back to stock :/

Debloated lineage + microG + light apps

- Battery life was very bad. Monstruous idle drain if mobile signal was average and drain when data was active

- Lots of slowdowns, even on a microG setup :(

- Livedisplay is not usable, colors get oversatured

- Brightness table is terrible compared to stock

- Camera was quite good, but exposure is often just okay

Otherwise I loved going back to LOS, and microG is awesome. Thank you for your awesome job :D
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Sub_Zero2:
Thanks for your report
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] willthrom:
Unfortunately I get the battery drain too.

No problem with performance thought.

Any chance that would/could be fixed?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Sub_Zero2:
I've had a look at it but my spare time is very limited, I'll see what i can do.

Call recording will be enabled in the next build, got it working on a test build.

bro, i legit love you. thank you so much for the work u have put in to this. everything is perfect on my n920c. last time i tried to encrypt tho, i had a bootloop and had to reinstall, so i guess thats a bug.

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] enryfox:
In LOS 15.1 and above on the S6, the encryption process causes a boot-loop. The rom does support encryption though, but you have to encrypt your data partition with LOS 14.1.

Not sure what is missing in LOS 15.1, but it is a problem common to all ROM's

Can you expect to improve performance and update so that the phone does not warm up and quickly does not discharge?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Sevennl:
@ Sub_Zero2,

Thank you for this ROM, just installed it and it works very good as far as i could test it.

In the first 2 minutes of using the ROM i encountered a 'thing' i will get annoyed by, the USB connection is default set to charging.

I was used to a ROM where this setting was defaulted to Transfer Files, which also does charging.

So i wonder if it will be possible in an update or next build to make it the default or at least make a toggle what your preferred connection method is.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] bothered:
Just change the default USB behaviour in developer options
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Sevennl:
Many thanks, that fixed the issue.

/edit:

I went back to my old ROM as i encountered a massive power drain.

Before going to bed i charged my phone to full, and 7.5 hours later i came downstairs finding my phone off and out of power.

I didn't investigate and reverted to my older ROM, which holds the charge for a whole day now and still on 57%.

No idea what the issue could have been, i have the same apps loaded and running the same services.

Did someone get Wifi Calling to work? Its supported by the phone (just checked by installing stock rom) as well by the provider. But Option is missing.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] ADB100:
I don't think I have seen WiFi calling as an option in Lineage 14.1 or 15.1 for the S6. A quick search took me to this page

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-v4-volte-enabler-t3649613

Not sure if this would help? I might try to build a ROM with these settings cooked in.

If you open the testing settings from the phone app (*#*#4636#*#*) the option for WiFi Calling is greyed out.

Just added those settings manually to /system/build.prop and WiFi Calling is now an available option - no idea if it works though....
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] ADB100:
Replying to my own posts, lol....

My Vodafone SIM is provided by work so is managed corporately so I don't think I can enable WiFi Calling myself. I sent a txt message to 97888 with just the word 'CALLING' and got an immediate reply saying

I think I would normally get another txt message saying it is now enabled, however with it being a corporate SIM I don't think I will.

Anyway I enabled WiFi Calling in the phone settings and then captured the IP traffic the phone generated. I can see it sending DNS queries for 'mplus.ims.vodafone.com', '_sip._tcp.mplus.ims.vodafone.com' plus several others so it looks like the phone is at least doing something :)

I need to check with our IT people to see whether WiFi calling can be enabled on my SIM. I'll let you know if I get anywhere with it.

Can someone review this ROM with decent battery? I'm coming from official Lineage OS 14.1. Hows battery life on this one etc? Thank you
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] hfte:
I switched quite some time between the both. Sadly this ROM has way more Battery Drain than in official LineageOS 14.1:

I don't use GAPPS. With only Signal and Davx5 in the background I get about 12hours of idle. With 14.1 back then I go through the day easily: 20+ hours. I use the latest Korean Modem, Maybe it would be worth trying another. RIL and Wifi are, at least what the System-Settings tell me by far the biggest consumers. My Battery is quite new: 5 Months old.

I don't have a recent enough PC, otherwise I would go and build 14.1 upstream from the lineage repositories with recent security patch. Seems no one else has done it so far.

Update: About a week later it looks like battery life is improving. Feels almost the same as on official 14.1. I don't know why. Battery calibration? Android optimization?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] capsycum:
Hello,

i'm trying to install this ROM, but I have problems with TWRP my screen is not working in TWRP mode. So i wanted to flash the ROM through ADB sideload, but a can't Wipe data / Factory Reset or wipe data + cache otherwise the phone reboot and i can't access to TWRP anymore.

So what happens if I flash without a wipe?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Disrupthor:
Hello all anyone knows what app could I use for IR controlling TV's?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Sub_Zero2:
It's an android feature.

Android has a built-in feature for battery optimization. It stores data about battery usage in the file:

/data/system/batterystats.bin

Therefore it is recommended to delete this file when changing rom (android will auto generate a new one if deleted), to start from scratch, as one rom is not equal to another when it comes to battery usage.

The more you use the rom, the better optimization (up to a point ofcourse).

After deleting it, it is recommended to let the battery discharge completely, then recharge the battery without turning on the phone, then after using the phone a while, battery life will be so much better compared to first time use of new rom.

Note: The battery calibration apps you find on play store does in fact just delete the above mentioned batterystats file.

Massive thanks to Sub_Zero2 et al. for extending the useful life of what's still a pretty good phone. Using the 20190608 image, essentially everything works bar the following observations:

Camera can be a bit temperamental at times. OpenCamera will only record video in 4K, otherwise it hangs; it's also very slow to take stills without API 2. The AOSP camera app seems less temperamental.

Phone encryption — tried that, got a boot loop. Later on I'll try reinstalling the stock firmware, encrypt with that, then install Lineage without wiping /data. (By comparison encryption works OK on my Tab S2, which now runs 16 but used to have 15.1.)
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Timmmy001:
Thank you for this good ROM.

I hope that it will be supported with security patches for as long as possible.

Greetings
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] g2continuous:
OK got encryption working but had to do it by first installing an old, official 14.1 build, then encrypting the data, then installing this image.

Camera side — the pictures seem a bit softer than with stock firmware. I suppose this is because stock has some proprietary interface/special sauce post processing algorithms. (And to be fair, the results from stock scream aggressive NR and sharpening! I knew I kept the DSLR for a good reason ;) ) On balance I'm willing to trade this for recent security updates.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Johan132:
[MENTION=2696268]Sub_Zero2[/MENTION] Thanks a lot for keeping the S6 alive! I just (finally) moved from Lineage OS 14 to your ROM, and my first impression is very good! With a new battery (recently replaced) I hope to get at least an additional year out of my S6 :)

Bug with "Do not disturb"/LED

A bug that's been around for a long time:

If the "Do not disturb" mode is used once, it can happen that the LED notification does not work properly until a restart.

Has anyone noticed this before?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] ADB100:
I think there are a few issues with the LEDs. If I leave my phone on charge for a while after it has reached 100% the LEDs stop working and don't display at all. A reboot fixes it though.

This is in my own LOS 15.1 builds as well so its an issue with the sources. I think this issue has been around since LOS 14.1.

APN O2 (Germany) Settings can't be set

Hello, i have the following problem, which may be rather an universal LineageOS 15.1 than a specific S6 topic: EDIT: It's even more universal even with a Handy with a stock ROM same behaviour happens. So it's not an issue with Lineage, it simply seems that somethings wrong with the SIM-Card. So after all that trouble, i can simply go to my network carrier and shout at them and than its not my problem ANYMORE! Money Back or Internet!

I can't set the APN right. If i try it through automotic SMS configuration, this configuration never appears in the settings menu, because how i found out later, Lineageos 15.1 thinks that these are invalid settings.

So i tried to do the settings manually, but if save them, they disappear again because Lineage thinks its invalid.

So i edited /etc/apn-conf.xml, went to the settings menu and restored default settings (which a.f.a.i.k. are loaded from /etc/apn-conf.xml) but again some filter or mechanism recognizes these settings as invalid, so they don't show up in the apn configuration menu.

What works is adding the official APN settings manually from https://www.o2apn.de but with another MNC Value namely 03 instead of the right 07. These Settings are accepted by lineage, but because they are wrong NO internet Data connection can be established though mobile networks, Wifi of Course works.

These MSC Settings are from E-Plus, and 2 Eplus settings are showing up, when restoring to default values. So somehow Lineage thinks its an eplus sim card, but its an o2 SIM Card. This may be can be explained by knowing that O2 and Eplus merged into one company some time ago and may be it's still the same SIM-Card, but i don't know.

So how do i force MNC Value 07 even though some ****ing filter/mechanism is saying that it's invalid and ignoring it or even preventing it from being saved.

the headphones and earphones are not broken & this stuff works on android 7.0/stock roms so it can't be my hardware

edit: Is it my kernel? I don't know anything about kernels but afaik they are responsible for the drivers/hardware-software layer interactions right?

am I meant to flash another kernel when installing this? is the required kernel included?

& before you ask, I always do a clean install, complete factory wipe, wiped dalvik cache, no custom kernel - don't even have xposed installed before these problems show up.. hell I don't think I even have magisk on it right now. do I need that already for these things to work?

do I have a special snowflake phone? I don't understand - are these issues not a thing on everyone else's G920F , because these issues show up release after release of LineageOS and other similar roms - I have similar problems on ResurrectionRemix and all the other famous roms...

the ONLY roms I do not have problems with are roms that go as far as the official supported release -- Android 7.0

so LightROM is the best thing I could find where everything worked, except that the theme is piss ugly and idk how to put pixel theme on other than substratum which I can't even seem to install

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] ADB100:
It looks like you are running an older baseband (modem) firmware so you could try updating that (https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s6/firmware/SM-G920F/). I have been building Lineage 15.1 for S6 & S6 Edge for a while now and I have never had issues with wired headsets. Are you really sure its not hardware? I thought I had a similar issue that I blamed on the ROM, however it turned out to be fluff in the 3.5mm socket.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] ramcoon:
thanks for the response ADB100 - I didn't know baseband/firmware is one of those things that's not included when you install a new rom, that could indeed be the problem, I don't remember if I've ever updated it

It's 100% definitely not hardware - as soon as I flash back to android 7.0, all of my problems disappear

I'll try updating the baseband when I get home this evening and flashing lineageos again. thanks

coincidentally just saw a post of yours on this other thread lol http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/help/baseband-firmware-t3863200
