It's compatible with A510M or is only for A510F?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Yes, it should do. Make sure you are running the latest baseband for your region. (Update to latest stock first is the easiest way).
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Nokono:
there were claims that soft buttons do not work on others than a510f
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
No, but a couple of people have faulty hardware.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] klemi71:
Do you have instable MTP connections to Windows10, too?

I used different PCs, cables, USB-ports... single files are transferred fine, but as soon as I try to transfer more files connection breaks. Direction doesn't seem to influence the problem, it breaks anyway.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
MTP sucks on most Android phones. When you transfer multiple files just be patient, it will be working in the background (don't get to keep adding more just wait for it to actually compete the transfer).

On stock on my S9 it is a similar story, if it is transferring in the background just leave it working.

Also OS indexing services cause issues of you have lots of photos on your phone.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] klemi71:
Thanks, problem is that device gets disconnected though I keep patient.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] hamedbb:
thanks for great work .

works on a510fd (

Duos

) model ?????????
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
It does, some users have reported mixed results with the second sim. I recently switched to using the actual A5 ril libraries (we used the A3 previously) which should help.

Make sure you are running the latest stock version before installing lineage os.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Nokono:
F and fd are absolutely identic
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] anonon:
Hi!

First of all, thank you, Danwood, for taking your time to develop this custom ROM! I have not gotten to use it yet (only McFly Lineage on A3 2017), but after what i have read i 'definitely want to! :)

I am in a bit of a special situation and i hope one of you can help me: After my granddad passed away, i thought i could reuse his old phone. It was login-protected by PIN and Fingerprint. When i received it, it had already been resetted and asked for Google Account credentials. However, it did not ask for any credentials but specifically ones of a user that had previously been synched on the phone. There is no way to get these Credentials so this was a dead end.

Using Odin, II tried flashing TWRP but it said something like "Secure Lock", cant remember the exact wording, but the Phone was not rooted anyway so this was not very fruitful either.

After a quick research i tried flashing it with stock Samsung ROM. It has been quite a quest to find the right firmware and i am not sure if i have succeeded by now.

Plugging the phones IMEI into imei24 revealed that the exact model is "SM-A510FZDADBT". I saw this DBT suffix pop up on one or two ROM download sites where it referred to it as a specific vendor, im sure you know better than me what that means.

Trying to flash the different stock ROMs resulted in either the error "secure check (PIT)", "something (BOOTLOADER)" or "REV CHECK Device 3 Binary 0". (im sorry for not reciting it accurately)

Any ideas on what i should to next? Is there a good website for Stock ROMs you can recommend? Does it matter my phone is from the "DBT" provider?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Nokono:
[MENTION=10419173]anonon[/MENTION] go to youtube and search "A5 2016 FRP unlock"
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] anonon:
Thanks for the response!

While trying to flash the varios ROMs, i messed something up apparenty.

My Phone is stuck in the Booting Sequence, the "Samsung" keeps glowing more and less and more and less...

Anything i can do now? Does anyone of you have a good Stock ROM provider?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Nokono:
Google it. "Galaxy A5 2016 firmware" . You may add also "download". There will be a lot of entries. You need 4 or 5-files rom for your region.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
If you have the stock firmware on there and are in boot loop it is probably caused by the contents of the data partition.

Boot into Samsung recovery and factory reset (wipe data and cache).

That should get you back to booting.

-- edit --

Only thing is you may struggle to bypass the FRP lock without your grandads google account.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Tin40:
Hello [MENTION=6707196]danwood76[/MENTION] just wanted to know how much more time before you release Lineage OS 17, sorry if i am bothering you.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] anonon:
Hi! Thank you Nokono and Danwood for your Tips!

I managed to bypass FRP, did it with this video: /watch?v=OZ0shNpklVM

I recommend creating a new Googleaccount for the Youtube Sign In and uploading the 2 needed APKs for the bypass to the GDrive of this account.

I installed TWRP with Odin, did not root my device.

Afterwards I installed the ROM and OpenGApps via TWRP (ARM, Android 9, Pico). Looking at download.lineageos.org/a5xelte and seeing there was a new ROM posted almost every day was kinda weird but I just went on with it and got todays build (01-05). Could you elaborate why that is the case?

Edit: Had Trouble. Did everything again and now it works!
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Nokono:
Nightly updates are for developers mainly.

You as a normal user just need to update once a month, after 15th usually, when monthly security patch is implemented.

Also you always can see what is new in the release by tap on "Recent changes" on the top of the list with nightly rom versions on the lineageos download page for your device.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] anonon:
Edit2: "Response" to Nokono. The Link in the first post says this is where you get the stable builds from..
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Nokono:
They are stable. What is the problem?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] klemi71:
Will LineageOS 17 have adoptable storage, too?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Yes it does, although it is 17.1 :silly:
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] anonon:
It seems a bit unusual that stable builds are released every 2 days. The Builds are also marked as "nightly", which got me a little suspicious.

But since you say they are stable and Dan does not say otherwise, there is no problem no more:)

Since you recommended to update monthly, what is the easiest way to update? Should you do a full backup before each update?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Nokono:
Easiest way is by OTA.

Backup every time is not necessary but having fresh backup never hurts, it takes just 10 min and may help in case of any trouble.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] FerdianSajadehh:
hello dany.

Thank you for making a ROM for this device. This ROM is very stable and fast. I'm really love it.

but I have a little problem, it looks like the signal strength is very weak.

Previously I tried to flash to stock ROM.

the signal is always full, but for this rom I only get 2 and 3 bars.

never get full.

thanks, :)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Hi,

Is your reception quality any different or is it just the visible signal strength you have issue with?

The only thing to check is that you are running the latest baseband, if you were running the latest stock firmware previously then this should be OK.

Danny

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Hi,

A restart doesn't restore the touchscreen functionality?

If not then it may be a hardware issue, previously people have reported issues (on both A3 and A5) with the touchscreen when the device overheats. Is your 1-2 hours of use 'heavy use (gaming, videos, etc)'?

Regards,

Danny
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] IvoDi:
Hi!

No... No overheating. Just playing around with settings & install user software.

After restoring backup image of LOS15.1, the problem is gone.

I decide to compile my kernel, just for fun, with modded ramdisk

power.rc

write /proc/sys/vm/swappiness 0

write /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure 90

write /proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task 0

write /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs 1000

write /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs 2000

write /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster 0

write /proc/sys/vm/panic_on_oom 0

write /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio 65

write /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio 30

write /proc/sys/fs/file-max 165164

and I added in /system/build.prop

ro.min.fling_velocity=8000

ro.max.fling_velocity=15000

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=250

ro.min_pointer_dur=8

touch.pressure.scale=0.03

Now everything is OK - touchscreen works fine & smooth. I am not sure about this kind of problem. May be it's my fault, during playing with OS.

Regards,

Ivo

P.S. I am noticed that some apps (user apps) can not be optimized (battery optimization).

The option exist (per app), but when action is confirmed (tapp on "OK") noting happens. Application remain not optimized. I hope, You understand what I mean.

Now I am on LOS 15.1, so I can't provide screenshot.

Keep im mind - no swap at all.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
We don't have swap on this ROM anyway?

I actually think that is why some users are complaining of memory management issues.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] IvoDi:
Hi!

Custom kernel is compiled without swap code and some other drivers for touch devices.

In ramdisk (init.rc) is removed all swap related "things".

Original kernel has swap, but memory related settings confused me, and this is the reason I'm added some tweaks in power.rc

I don't know, how custom the kernel behaves in heavy loads (games, etc.). Let's someone tells, if he wanna try it.

Regards,

Ivo
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Hi,

Swap support is enabled in the kernel but is not active on the phone as we don't have the sswap binary installed (the amount of active swap can be seen with free). Your changes wont actually have any effect.

Danny

Hi,

I'm uploading a new release now.

Along with the usual security updates I finally fixed HWC on our devices (many hours of reverse engineering and debugging went in to this fix with lots of help from [MENTION=8184192]Stricted[/MENTION]), so from this release you can expect a smoother UI and you should see some power savings!

I spend a lot of my free time bringing these improvements to our devices, if anyone feels like buying me a coffee or a beer my paypal donation address is:

https://www.paypal.me/danwood76

Changes in the 07/07/2019 release:
[INDENT]Fixed HWC (Improves UI fluidity and power usage)
SELinux cleanup (thanks [MENTION=8184192]Stricted[/MENTION])
Migrate to new HIDL LiveDisplay and Touch HALs (thanks [MENTION=8184192]Stricted[/MENTION])
July Android Security Patch
LOS updates[/INDENT]

Awesome. Just incredible how smooth this device can be. Samsung should be ashamed for their laggy and out of date stock ROMs.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] AdarshB:
Downloading now and will install later on today, let's see what we get!

Update 1: Just installed this ROM and it looks pretty promising! I would like to thank the developer(s) behind this project! Now about the ROM, it looks pretty amazing but it does lag here and there, not a big deal tho, I can life with it coming rom DotOS which was pretty laggy. Let's see how long I stay on this ROM.

Update 2: Ran into my first real problem which was that "trebuchet isn't responding". But it got fixed after restarting the phone, how can I prevent this in the future?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
1. We cannot use HWC for some scene types so they fall back to CPU/GPU for those animations as we had previously.

2. Sounds strange, I have not seen any Trebuchet crashes in my testing. Are you able to produce a logcat so I can see what the cause of the crash is? (Matlog is a good app for producing logs)

Regards,

Danny

SELinux deactivated - on purpose?

Hi,

I just noticed that SELinux is disabled on this ROM and was wondering if this is on purpose.

I tend to think that it used to be enabled and therefore am a little confused and concerned. Also I believe to have read that SELinux is enforced for all official LineageOS builds.

My phone is running the latest nightly - 20200118.

Best regards
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] FerdianSajadehh:
I used the latest firmware stock.

I feel my signal is better with this latest build. and I have one more problem, every time I try to call. my signal always changes from 4g to H
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
SELinux is enforcing. Some Magisk modules and other mods can disable it so it will be something you have done.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Read the first post. IMS services are disabled for all Samsung (exynos based) ROMs which are required for VoLTE.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] usrnm42:
You are absolutely right and thanks for clarifying.

In my case it was L Speed Manager, a Magisk module. It even has a switch to toggle SELinux on and off.

Cheers.

Reboot to TWRP

Hello

I have a Problem with installation of the Rom.

after the flashing My A5 doesnt Start. I see the LOS Animated Boot Logo and then It reboots to TWRP.

I installed twrp 3.3.0,make a full wipe and install LOS 16 on my device. I installed the Rom 6 or 7 times and its every time the same.

I had previously installed the SynexOS Rom. it starts without problems after the installation.

As a try, I also flashed the unofficial LOS 16 Rome. it starts without problems.

Can you please tell me what the error is.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Do you have faulty touchkeys?

That has been known to cause boot errors.

Also make sure you are running the latest baseband (can be installed by flashing latest stock firmware).
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Censys01:

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Try a clean install again and then once you are back in TWRP can you dump this file in the file manager:

When I install lineageos (20200120) and opengapps arm nano (20200122), my phone gets stuck on the boot animation or goes back to twrp.

But when I install LOS without opengapps, the phone boots normally.

Is opengapps arm nano the correct zip to install ? Or should it be pico ?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Nokono:
it should be any but ARM version for android 9
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] antoine8168:
Thank you nokono.

So I don't understand why my installations of lineageos with opengapps fail : I haven't rebooted system between the sideload of lineageos and the sideload of opengapps, like it is asked in the lineageos wiki https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/a5xelte/install
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Don't sideload them, move them to an SD card and install from there.

Sideload can be a bit flakey in TWRP.

Also make sure you don't install the TWRP app (prompted before reboot in TWRP)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] antoine8168:
Thank you danwood76, all works now : I had to use opengapps (20200117) arm nano 9.0 with lineageos (20200120) instead of opengapps (20200122) arm nano 9.0.
