I have to revert two of my earlier statements:

Called my mother yesterday and immediately she yelled at me why I'm so silent. I was in a reverberent stairwell, naked walls, big building, maybe that caused it?

This night I did a new test, kept wifi on, the battery only lost 5% in like 8 hours. I think that's fine.

I've had the nightly build from yesterday 20190906 installed during those tests, just the rom and addon-su installed, so no google stuff. I have some apps uninstalled via

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 package.name

to keep the amount of processes to a minimum. Maybe that improves battery live? I hope so! ;)

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] danwood76:
Background WiFi scanning (for location) uses more battery as well as notification of open networks. These may be the cause of some of your idle power drain issues.

It is also necessary to do several full charge/discharge cycles for Lineage OS to properly profile the battery (this is the same on stock).

I just want to share my insights that i gained after a few days.

Brightness even AT 0% is too bright compared to StockROM

this also might be causing high battery usage

WiFi is a "power-eater"... however it has better range ?

Yesterday i noticed, that while watching YT my battery was discharging even when it was charging.

I disconnected power cord an connected again. Fixed the problem.

This might be my battery or Rom issue , since i checked the cable (and im using 2nd one).

Since is hard to determine, if this is battery or Rom i would not take this into account.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sekret1:
About that, I've noticed something strange:

I watch youtube videos with the app NewPipe. Within the video screen, you can adjust brightness by sliding vertically on the left side of the screen, volume on the right side.

Now, setting the brightness within the video to the lowest setting isn't really the lowest you can get. Turning it a little bit up makes the brightness jump to a lower value.

Difficult to explain... It seems weird, that's all I can say, I don't experience this with the other phones I have here.

After having enough of the new poor android 9 auto brightness.

I installed Lux app and its so much better.

You can go under 0 brightness and make it really dark. And manage/customize the auto brightness much better.

I had enough of android 9 auto brightness doing the exact opposite of what it should, even after a month of training.

In fact I have an acceptable duration with LTE, without games of course ...

My battery takes time with the phone. Lasts with full charge 24 - 36 hours. In LOS16.

I think I appreciate that the performance is higher.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] slarti76:
That's for all the battery-related advice!

I set wifi_sleep_policy to 1 with Tasker ("Custom Setting"). Now I usually have almost no battery drain when in standby, although I had the odd cases of drain-as-before over night, with SystemPanel showing my Wifi constant on. So there may still be something that keeps the policy from kicking in sometimes - will keep a watch on it.

But it looks like - at least for me - Wifi really is serious battery drainer on my device (btw, I turned off all "Wifi notification" etc. stuff turned off, of course).

Anyway, I can go from here, thanx again everyone!

I have a question about https://download.lineageos.org/s5neolte/changes

Compared to any other supported device, there are a lot more changes here! Looks like even changes related to other phones get merged. Makes it harder to see which actually concerns the S5 Neo.

Why are you [MENTION=8184192]Stricted[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6707196]danwood76[/MENTION] do things this way? I'm not saying you're doing things wrong, I'm just curious.

But changes dont seem to show up for the more earlier builds. Only the builds which are still available for download.

The other one ( https://download.lineageos.org/s5neolte/changes ), was always full of changes for all kinds of devices...even when it was still unofficial. Not sure why.

The fact that it only loads as you scroll down, makes it even harder to search for specific type of changes. So yeah, thats quite bad.

Bad mic qualiy during call

Hi,

I still encounter the problem of bad microphone quality (noise/low recording level). I switched from stock to official Lineage about 3 weeks ago and with it came the problem that people can hardly understand me during regular calls. I'm using MicroG Lineage version thus installing updates weekly, currently running 09/12.

Is the issue still present for others? Did I miss any workaround or was it maybe already fixed? Will support bug-hunting if you like.

Thanks, Martin

I did some tests with my brother on the phone. When I hold the phone on the cheek completely, everything is fine. But as soon as I move the mic away from the mouth the volume lowers drastically.

It's the same with voice and video recordings. As soon as you move a little bit away, the volume just falls down.

I'm not yet sure if this can be an advantage when I'm calling in a loud area. But the behavior is definitely different to my previous phone. It's hard to say if this is hardware dependent. Maybe the mics have a different characteristic?

Hello.

Im running LOS16 on my S5neo for a few weeks and I'm very happy with it. :o

But I have a small problem:

I want to connect my Samsung Gear S3 with my phone and therefore I have installed the App Samsung Gear. But the App tells me (translated from German) "The OS of your phone was changed in an unauthorized way and is not compatible with the Gear-App". :(

I use Magisk for Rooting and have also tried to use Magisk-Hide to hide the root-status for Samsung Gear. But it doesn't help. :confused:

Has anyone a solution for this?

I have another Phone (Sony XZ1Compact) with LOS16 and Magisk and Gear is running fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mgrewe:
This is exactly the same behavior I'm encountering. And I can say that it was definitively different with the stock rom, so it needs to be software-related.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mgrewe:
I found that mixer_paths.xml seemingly contains the relevant setting. There were at least some changes related to the mic during video recording. I believe the section starting with line 2542 (<path name="gain-communication-handset-mic">) actually contains the general mic settings for communication, right?

I played with the values yesterday and found that for me, the mic quality becomes better during calls. As most other people do not seem to suffer from the problem, I think that this will not be patched in general. However, it might be valuable for others to provide a small workaround. Here are the steps I did:

Boot into TWPR recovery and mount system partition in rw mode (enable checkbox mount->system, uncheck system mount in read-only).

Open terminal and pull the file from the device by

adb remount
adb pull /system/vendor/etc/mixer_paths_0.xml

Locate the following lines in the file and adjust them to your needs. I used

<!-- WB volume -->
<path name="gain-incall_wb-handset-mic">
<ctl name="S2801 RMIX1_LVL" value="0" />
<ctl name="S2801 RMIX2_LVL" value="0" />
<ctl name="MIC1 Volume" value="17" />
<ctl name="MIC1 Boost Volume" value="[B]2[/B]" /> <!--1-->
<ctl name="Line-in Volume" value="6" />
<ctl name="ADC Left Gain" value="127" />
<ctl name="ADC Right Gain" value="127" />
</path>

Upload the file again by

adb push mixer_paths_0.xml /system/vendor/etc

Reboot into system

Hope that might be valuable for someone. Cheers

PS: Unfortunately, the settings will be overridden by an upgrade such that you need to repeat the steps above.

Works amazingly well on my SM-G903F S5 Neo. Everything is super fast, super smooth, and is very responsive. Can't beat that user experience. Only complaints are that auto-brightness is always too bright, battery drains 20-30% over night even with the phone being set to Flight Mode (battery usage is unaccounted for), and lastly during audio recordings like in Whatsapp there is some ticking sounds. But honestly the overall experience is an overwhelmingly positive one.

I would not compare it to the Zapryanovv ROM because it works much better with the Lineageos 16.

Wipe Dalvik / ART Cache, Cache, Data. ?

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] negatyw001:
I asked what to do before to flash in twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Neoony:
Depends on what are you flashing from.

If flashing from Stock firmware:

You want to wipe caches and data, before flashing.

You also need to be on a

marshmallow bootloader

. (Otherwise you will be stuck in a bootloop)

If flashing from unofficial LineageOS (15.0 or 16.0):

You either want to wipe caches and data, before flashing.

Or you want to use a migration patch (Unofficial to official): https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80106230&postcount=118

In that case you dont have to wipe Data, and all your settings remain. Only wipe caches.

If just updating from Official LineageOS to Official LineageOS newer version:

Just wipe caches. Before or after (Dont think it really matters much, whether you do it before or after)

Correction:

Not needed to wipe caches on update. Although I personally prefer to wipe them on system changes.

But you might be better off just using the Updater from inside the OS. (Settings - System - Advanced - Updater)

Do not forget to flash Gapps every time you flash LineageOS

Gapps are only not needed if updating through updater.

Correction:

You might only need to flash Gapps after you flashed a ROM like LineageOS for the first time. But I would personally flash newer ones anyways.

And by the way. I also recommend Magisk as a root solution.

SuperSU doesnt get any updates and there are all kinds of tiny issues with it, one of them being SuperSU force closing randomly.

Magisk has a ton of better features as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] negatyw001:
I will be flashing from custom:

What are the steps to take before?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Neoony:
I cant say for sure when you are switching from other ROM, so you better do a backup of everything first.

But I would wipe:

Dalvik / ART Cache

Cache

Data

Internal storage

Correction:

You better wipe System as well

You will lose everything (settings/data/internal storage), but I would absolutely recommend to start with everything clean including internal storage, if switching ROMs like you are doing now.

You might want to copy your internal storage before you wipe, if you got anything that you want to keep (Example: Photos)

Then just flash Latest LineageOS: https://download.lineageos.org/s5neolte

And latest Gapps: https://opengapps.org/ ARM - 9.0 - Choose your variant

And then after having both flashed, you can reboot to system

First boot might take some time.

Then you can install magisk.

Download:

Magisk flash zip: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v19.4/Magisk-v19.4.zip

Magisk manager: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v7.3.4/MagiskManager-v7.3.4.apk

Boot into recovery and flash Magisk-v19.4.zip

Reboot into system and Install MagiskManager-v7.3.4.apk

And you should be good to go.

----

Just in case anything went wrong, I would also reflash the Baseband in download mode with Odin. ( Iam now on G903FXXU1BQC1, but as far as I know any Android 6 should work fine, like the one you got...but I dont have that one tested )

This would definitely clear everything up.

You would have to boot at least once and then reflash twrp again and then just redo the above steps.

AudioFX

Hello I just wanted to ask if AudioFX is no longer part of this ROM? I updated with latest nightly version and there is no longer AudioFX icon. Thank you for answer!
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] danwood76:
A couple of corrections:

1.

Coming from stock you need to wipe system or you will get major issues

2.

You do not need to update opengapps after each system update. The play store will keep gapps up to date so you only need to flash it once when you first install and it is maintained across system updates.

3.

No need to wipe caches after update. That just wastes time during boot
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] negatyw001:
So, now that I have custom zapryanov 2.1 (based Android 7), better flash stock (Android 6) - 4 file via odin?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Neoony:
Personally I would also flash stock (Any latest Android 6) whenever Iam starting completely clean (even if it might be unnecessary)...just to make sure everything is cleaned up.

Then you can boot it at least once on stock to make sure its fine.

And Flash TWRP.

And then you can follow my corrected steps: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80449193&postcount=259

First thanks for replys guys.

Sadly no logs available. Today i did the uodate from 2409 build to 0810 build, it ends in a bootloop. But if i do a clean flash ( 0810 build f.i. ) all is fine, tried it too with magisk 18.1 and 19.3. The problem occurs only when i wanna try to update. Tried manually in twrp, with the lineage downloader app, and with the integrated updater. With or without my additional zips. But not successfull. I've got the device since a few weeks ( used of course, as a present ) , atm i'm not sure it was the latest stock fw. It's not my daily driver, so it's not so bad. I'll try to go back to stock and start at zero.

A link to the latest fw would be very helpfull, i'm familiar with Odin, an sgs4 with los 16 is my business device.

I hope the sgs5 Neo has'nt some kind of hardware defect, the Rom itself is very smooth and battery friendly.

Short status - i was not on the latest stock fw. I fixed it with the samfirm downloader and went back to the correct fw. Updating los 16 is working now without issues, my device does not going crazy anymore after update.
