I think the issue is that Android should be indexing the new location but for some reason isn't, so after a reboot you don't any images stored in the new Snap photo location.

Thanks, but I always delete them in data/lineageos _updates folder after installing the update. I just keep the latest update, but move it to micro SD using TWRP build in file manager. The specified folder is empty.

The phone's behavior is different from before. Before I had 1,5 GB free Internal storage after cleaning the phone. Heavy usage reduced this, but I could clear caches, junk files, ... and regain these 1,5 GB. They are gone now and even the additional approx 1 GB I got from uninstalling alternative browsers,... were gone within minutes (!) and I can't get them back.

On DCIM/. thumbnails folder there were two .thumbdsta4(+number) files showing around 5GB in file manager. As I read this is just the max size. I deleted .thumbnails folder and put an empty . thimbnails come in DCIM folder. No more thimbnails as expected, but this wasn't the problem.

Did you try to reboot?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] klemi71:
Of course.

Reboot, reboot without SD card in case it's a mounting issue, reboot in safe mode (issue persists when user apps are disabled), reboot to recovery and wiping cache/dalvik from there, ... issue persists.

I installed betterbatterystats and I confirm that my phone fastly goes to deep sleep after turning off the screen.

In fact, I tested again and it went from 35% to 33% in 6h in flight mode. So I think there's no problem here :) Thank you.

About camera software, I find the stock gcam the best camera available for our A510F LineageOS. However, I would like to update from this v2 gcam to something more recent. Is is possible?

I find the stock OS camera to get somehow better results, specially in low light. I don't blame our great LineageOS, I'm just trying to get better camera results.

Do you find any software better than our stock LOS gcam? I've tested SnapCamera, ABetterCamera,Footej, Open Camera, Camera MX and FV-5. I didn't find any of these apps getting better pictures or having a better UI than our stock old-dated gcam. We can create a seperate thread to discuss this if you guys find it necessary.

Thanks to the community again!

Problem solved after flashing last nightly. Now 2,75 GB available (before 1,5 GB, uninstalled approximately 1 GB apps after issue). So somehow it was ROM related. Whatever you did, thanks a lot for fixing.

I understand and share your pain but the question should be addressed not to me but to developers
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Hi,

Blame Google. There was a security change in Android 9 which meant that Apps are effectively no longer allowed to write to public directories (for example to external SD cards DCIM folders), our camera App respects this. In Android 10 (towards the middle of next year) this change will be enforced so any apps currently bypassing this change will effectively be blocked from the Play Store (I think Open Camera allows you to write to the SD DCIM folder).

You can format your SD card and use as internal storage to work around this issue.

There is an open ticket for this issue in Snap on the LineageOS bug tracker which I linked to previously and it is being looked into.

Regards,

Danny
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Tin40:
HI Danny, sorry for bothering but I just wanted to ask you a question, I saw that in crDroid ROM there Is an Always On Display feature, but not in LOS, so is there a way to port that feature or are we gonna have to wait for you to add the possibility to turn AOD in LOS?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
AOD won't work with the current kernel drivers as if you enable it the CPU will always be awake and you will get very poor battery life. There is simply no way the crDroid ROM has this working on the A5.

I made an attempt at it on the A3 a while ago but I couldn't get it to function correctly, I needed more time to debug the issues and I had more important things to do. I will probably pick it up again in the future but no idea when.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Tin40:
I don't know that, but what I do know is that when I installed the crDroid ROM there was an option in QS to turn on AOD, and when I long pressed on it, it took me to display settings, it worked well but I didn't like that ROM so I removed it, I'm just telling you this because you said that there is no way for crDroid ROM to have this working on this device, sorry if I misunderstood anything.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
AOD is supposed to be a low power state. CPU off but display on, we can't have that in our kernel as the CPU is always on when the display is on and so it eats battery. We have it disabled in our sources.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] klemi71:
For unknown reason my Data partition started filling up to the brim whatever I uninstall/delete. So I will do a clean install.

Questions:

Is ROM/kernel supporting f2fs as filesystem?

If I format SD as internal storage (adoptable storage), is it a good idea to format it in f2fs or should I better leave data partition in ext4?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Sounds like a bad app is filling your data partition.

Leave the filesystems as the defaults for best results.

First of all a lot of thanks to [MENTION=6707196]danwood76[/MENTION] for his great job. THANKS

My experience after 3 weeks of usage:

Ram is always about 55-65% in official rom it was about 80-85%

phone works very well but sometimes it restarts suddenly!! in 3 weeks 4-5 times.

in calls when I turn on speaker and after seconds or minutes when I don't need the speaker and turn it of, there is just a beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep sound and can't hear the other side's voice!!

some questions:

1- Keyboard doesn't have any suggestion method. Does anyone knows name of A510FD original keyboard?

2- Can I update to latest version from phone updater or I must download it from download page then flash it to phone?

3- Is there any huge differences between latest versions and I should update my phone?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] diogogomes11:
Original ROM keyboard uses Samsung libraries and is not available for installing. You can install OTA updates. Not big differences between updates still.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Hi,

Next time you get a forced reboot can you dump some logs and send them to me. I have not had reports of resets in a very long time. Logs I need are the /proc/last_kmsg and a log dump from Matlog.

1. I use Google keyboard, much better than the Samsung one. Does swype typing, autocomplete, etc.

2. Update over ota fine

3. Update once a month is usually enough to keep the security patches too date. Any major changes I announce on this thread.

Regards,

Danny
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] tahoom:
I'm not familiar with tiese things. where is "/proc/last_kmsg and a log dump from Matlog" ??

and what is ota which I must update over it?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
"Over The Air" updates are accessed from the settings menu.

Matlog is an app to dump android logs, if you are getting random reboots (you see the bootloader logo) then I would need a dump of /proc/last_kmsg that is a path to a file in the phones filesystem.

I'm very happy with this amazing rom, but i have problems with one app.

When i install "Samsung health" app, the phone is very hot and drain the battery in a few hours.

I guess it's a problem using the sensors.

do you have reports about something like that?

as audio on this device wasn't really good before, I sometimes used integrated Audio FX. It's not integrated in ROM any more.

Viper is great but rather complicated. So I installed Audio Modification Library and Ainur Sauron using magisk. Sound is much better, but I still miss an easy to use equalizer with presets, l/r channel, ...

Any suggestions?

For to run "Samsung health" app, there a trick.

- Install BuildProp Editor from PlayStore.

- Edit the lines 22,23 and 33:

ro.product.model, ro.product.brand, ro.product.manufacturer.

Change the value to HTC.

- Save and reboot system.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Nothing changed in the 13th October update. Pie development is mainly security patches at the moment. You only really need to update LOS once a month.

It's possible you have an app eating your cpu occasionally when you wake it up or its possible that your home button is faulty.

Also open gapps was having a lot of issues around that date. You don't ever install new gapps do you? Gapps update automatically through the play store, there is no need to update manually and it actually causes problems. You could try clearing the caches if you did update gapps.

for me also finger print sensor does not work at all.

My Model is: SM-A510F

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Can you produce a logcat from boot of this issue? Otherwise I cannot debug it as it works fine on my A510F
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] android4me:
Hi,

i took a logcat, see attached file.

After i activated USB debugging, suddenly the FP sensor worked - very strange!

I reproduced this as i performed a factory reset, tried to use FP (did not work) -> activated ADB debug -> again tried to use FP (worked!)

I think it is a workaround to enable adb debug, but not a good one :eek: .
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Are you trying to use the FP scanner with USB plugged in?

This doesn't work (it doesn't work on Stock either, probably a hardware design fault).

I have found the cause of the fingerprint bug and reverted the commit in the kernel that causes the issue, it should be solved in the next build.

It looks like Samsung aren't using Android binder properly and rely on a kernel memory bug in order for the fingerprint blobs to work.
