There are several main blockers for the official release but also the A5 has a few issues that need correcting before we can go on the official list.

- NFC HCE

- WiFi hotspot (works on the A3 so hopefully nothing too serious)

- Audio config needs tweaking

- occasional fingerprint issues

[MENTION=6707196]danwood76[/MENTION] is there any way to enable OTG on this rom?

It is enabled and works ok.

Is your a5 recognized by PC when connected?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] jl4c:
No, my A5 is only recognized for charge when connected...

What I can do?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Nokono:
repaire usb port. Clean it for the beginning with soft brush.

the signal is always weak like this.

I only got 2 bars in this ROM. sometimes lost again. in lineage 17 also the same.

can i try reflash modem.img with another version? Will it repair? :confused:

in other ROMs I always get full like in stock ROM.

Incompatible with SM-A5108...

Well...Seems it doesn't support SM-a5108, the China version of the phone. When I flash it with twrp, it returns'Error code 7, abort'.

It's code is 'a5xeltecmcc' and the only different from the other version is that it has a 3gb ram... Is it possible to make the Rom compatible with the phone? Thank you!

:rolleyes:
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
You need to be running the latest modem firmware for your region.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] FerdianSajadehh:
I already used the latest firmware from sammobile.com. can I reflash from other countries?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
What baseband are you running? (Can be checked in the device info)

Also which variant do you have?

Do you actually have an issue or is it just the display of the signal strength?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] FerdianSajadehh:
I am running in baseband A510FDXXS8CSF6 (XID)

my device is A510FD (dual sim)

seems like a problem with signal strength, if I lose signal. the internet is very slow. and sometimes i see the status of the signal on about phone. always point to -104 dBm 36 asu. and right now i'm in another rom, -97 dBm 43 asu in the same place. if you need a file like libsec-ril.so or dsds etc. i will send it to you. because of this rom there is no problems with 4G in dual sim.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Nokono:
Sure like hell it doesnt support as your phone is on qualcomm processor but not on exinos as 510f.

The name a5 2016 is only the same but the phone is absolutely different.

Therefore no way to make this rom compatible with 5108.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
DS variants have issues. I don't have a DS so I can't test or fix.

Some people have had great experience on DS others not.

Unfortunately sounds like you need to go back to a stock based ROM
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Nokono:
I have also DS. Right now -109, asu 31 but there are no problems at all, no speed drop, no disconnections. It never bothered me, see no difference with stock rom in phone part behaviour...
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] ppg2004@163.com:
I'm not that idiotic... in fact 5108 also use exynos 7580, while 5100 use Qualcomm Snapdragon 615...:eek:

The official site of Los also mentioned 5108 is supported...
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
It should be supported just fine.

Which TWRP are you using? With the official TWRP you shouldn't get error 7 (official TWRP thinks everyone is a SM-A510F).
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Nokono:
sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a5-2016/specs/#SM-A5108

Qualcomm Snapdragon 615

I've tried the latest version 3.3.0, and version 3.2.3,(all from official website) and received the same result...

BTW, Previously another guy tried to transplant（should spell like this?）the unofficial los Rom to a5108, but a lot of bugs and errors occurred, he said the device partition of the device is very different from a510f, and...at last he gave up.

Hi

The battery had problems and changing rom to lineage didn't fix the problem. I replaced the battery with new one but after 3 weeks it's just like the previous one and under 20% it is going to die and shutdown.

Is there any fix for this problem?

Is this app can fix it? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.roggstar.batterycalibrator&showAllReviews=true
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Are you certain you replaced it with a new battery?

A lot of the "new" batteries on ebay are actually removed from old phones.

If you are certain it is new then maybe you have a hardware issue on your device or you are simply running too many apps and have overly high expectations of how long it will last.

Regards,

Danny
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] tahoom:
Battery is new.

Battery calibrator apps won't help?

Which hardware may has issue?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
You need to do a few full charge/discharge cycles for LOS to profile the battery and give a correct battery percentage.

It is likely that you have an app that is sucking all your battery life or you have installed a bad battery.

Apps like Greenify can help stop apps from running in the background.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] tahoom:
Greenify needs root access. Do you know where can I grant this access to greenify in my phone?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Install magisk
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] tahoom:
Magisk tells the device is not rooted!

Is it true? For installing lineage didn't I root the phone?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
You need to install Magisk by flashing the zip file in TWRP. That is how you root the phone, installing LOS is not rooting.

Dear all,

another user question from me, this time regarding "screen mirroring" aka "cast", to be found e. g. via Settings -> Connected Devices -> Connection Preferences -> Cast.

IS there anyway to cancel charging when I use usb tethering?

My phone has some battery problems so charging and using as usb tethering may cause more problems for battery.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Either get your battery fixed (they are cheap on ebay and not too difficult to replace if you have repaired phones before) or you could use WiFi tethering (hotspot).

To be honest I would go with the first option, my A3 battery was really swollen when I removed it so I was glad I did before it caught fire.

6 hours to recharge the battery

Hello,

I had the device checked and the technician told me there are no hardware problems.

It is likely that the device takes 6 hours to recharge the battery because some files do not make the power manager work well.

Hi,

I forgot to reply to the logs you posted.

You did not allow root access to matlog and so the vital log I needed (the kernel log) were non existent. Please repeat the test but give matlog root access first or I will not be able to debug your issue.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Nokono:
First boot after installing twrp must be in twrp, not in system. Otherwise twrp overwrited by stock recovery.

So remove check on Autoreboot in Odin, flash twrp, press Power, Home and Volume- till screen is black then very quick press Power, Home and Volume+ and hold till booting twrp. Allow there modification of system when it be proposed
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Stock android "updates" the recovery partition on boot. If you have the "auto reboot" option enabled in ODIN you will never be able to get to TWRP unless you are very quick with button combinations.

Disable "auto reboot" in ODIN and once flashing is complete hard reboot the phone (volume up, volume down, home power) and then when the screen goes black release just the volume down key to get into TWRP. Then let twrp patch your system image so that it will stay there.

Uncheck Autoreboot

Plug my phone into my laptop

Flash TWRP.img with Odin

After finishing flashing i unplugged my phone and hold down Volume- + Home + Power and it turns off my phone and Immediately hold Volume+ + Home + Power then in redirects me to the blue screen which says "installing system updates" and "no command" then puts me into the stock recovery (again smh).
