hi i have improved my post. it goes with the Rom, without additional app
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nanquan:
Just wondering about the daily updates; most of them don't show any changes when you open the change log. Does this mean there were no changes made, and it's the same update being pushed? Or if changes have been made, why isn't the change log updated to reflect them?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] geocy:
I believe changes are being made. It states so... the entry itself states"changes included"... and the nightly build date. I believe I have seen the change log updated at a later time to reflect those changes. Maybe sometimes the change log isnt more specific to save time for the maintainers who do this on their own time and for free. Anyway, that is just my understanding but i may be wrong. :o

Just update once a month. Lineageos 16 is in maintenance mode, just security patches so you won't see much device specific stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sP4Xx:
Hi,

the ROM runs fine. Thanks for that. Anyway - when I try to setup family link on it, the factory reset protection (FRP) gets triggered. Has someone the same issues and more important - does anyone have a hint or even a solution for it? Thanks.

Kind regards, sp4xx
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] danwood76:
Family link doesnt work on custom ROMs because it requires OEM unlock to be disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sP4Xx:
Ahh ok weird - are there any differences regarding the hardware? I'm asking, because I have it running on a S4 mini with lineage-16.0 on it. But I got some complaints about S4mini from my kids... so I'm searching for a replacement :)

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MaddogIT:
After long testing I can say that's a good rom. Unfortunately games die randomly. No evidence of anything strange in logcat except a network service that dies and restarts.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] danwood76:
Yes, Samsung implemented better security in the Exynos7 series chips onwards.

So any newer phones won't support family link on custom ROMs.

There are some Snapdragon based devices where you can sign the firmware and then relock the bootloader with a custom ROM (non Samsung devices, not sure which ones).

UI Bug report: Open Apps List Randomly Stops Working

This seems to happen randomly and not triggered by anything in particular.

Pressing the button to show the list of open apps stops working properly. It just says "no recent items", even when several apps are clearly open and running.

Only solution to fix this issue was to restart the phone.

Later I found out that by going into Settings -> Apps & Notifications -> See all apps -> Trebuchet, and then pressing "Force stop" would fix the problem instantly and without needing to restart the phone.

So the issue is clearly with the "Trebuchet" process which is responsible for generating and displaying the open apps list. It randomly stops working properly, and requires a restart by way of using the "Force stop" button. Which afterwards it seems to immediately restart automatically, as I'm guessing it's configured as a LineageOS system process designed to always be "kept alive".

Can you please investigate and provide a fix for this in a future update?

Thanks!!

Running Lineage OS 16.0 (February 11, 2020 patch) on my Samsung Galaxy S5 neo.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] danwood76:
Do you use a different launcher to trebuchet? That usually causes strange behaviour like this.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nanquan:
Yeah, I'm using Nova Launcher. One thing I also noticed since writing my original post was that Trebuchet didn't have phone or storage permissions. I enabled both once I noticed this. Could this be related?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] helloyello:
Hi,

I just flashed LOS16 on my S5 NEO and noticed that the notification LED is not used during offline charging. On the forum here I learned that this issue is resolved for other Samsung official LOS16 images and was wondering if the devs could just use that code and adapt it for the S5NEO LOS16.

One suggestion, in the stock ROM, while charging the battery the red light is on and once fully charged it turns to green. Makes perfect sense!

In LOS16 I noticed that the default charging light is green (why?). OK, it can be configured, which I did, but was just wondering if it could be tuned diretcly in the LOS16 code.

So far, I'm ok with the ROM, it's snappy, good battery performance and haven't encountered any issues. Will still need to look after a FM Radio app that is "official" and works on LOS16 (Pie).

Thanks for all you efforts (devs&contributors)!
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] danwood76:
You won't find a working FM radio app, it is not supported.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MaddogIT:
Managed to fix led color during charge using Light Manager app
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] helloyello:
Not supported for this device? Is it a HW/driver support issue?

Just asking, because on LOS16 for the Samsung S3 Neo there is already a working FM Radio app provided.

You can configure the LED colors from within the LOS16 settings, no need for a third party app. What doesn't work is the LED status during offline charging (when phone is turned off and you start charging it). Were you able to enable the LED status lights during offline charging with that Light Manager app ?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] danwood76:
Like I said it is not supported, to make it work it would require a lot of reverse engineering effort (and only one or two users ever actually use this feature).

The S3NEO is a completely different device, it is an older device and has a completely different processor.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] helloyello:
Thanks for the details (you missed in your first reply), I understand now that it's a HW/driver issue, no problems, I can live without FM Radio.

The LED status on offline charging would be a very useful addition, making this ROM perfect!

Thanks again for all the good work - both devs/contributors!
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] danwood76:
LED status on offline charging is not supported in LineageOS. Do you often charge with your device off? Just switch it on and you can see the notification LED.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nanquan:
So, any follow up on this issue [MENTION=6707196]danwood76[/MENTION] ?

Let me guess, because I'm using a custom launcher there's no solution and that's just the way it is? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] danwood76:
I would suggest you use Trebuchet and see if you get the same crashes.

A quick bit of searching didn't reveal anyone with the same crash pattern so maybe there is something messed up on your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nanquan:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I just don't like using Trebuchet :)

I'm guessing because it's such a minor issue it hasn't been mentioned by anyone anywhere. In fact anyone encountering it wouldn't even see it as a "crash" (as there are no crash or error messages) nor would they even know that the problem is with Trebuchet. I happen to have realized that Trebuchet is responsible for generating open apps list only because I tried deleting it once and saw that it messed up open apps list. Most people won't even make the connection that the problem is in Trebuchet.

Oh well, I guess it's just one of those issues no one cares enough about to try and investigate. It's not that big of a deal I suppose, so thanks for your help regardless!
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] danwood76:
You are missing the point.

Trebuchet works perfectly and you will not get anyone interested in fixing your issue unless you can prove that the issue is in Trebuchet. The bug is more likely in Nova Launcher so telling them about the a bug would be the best way to proceed.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nanquan:
I don't see how the bug is in Nova Launcher when it has nothing to do with drawing the open apps list, and a restart of trebuchet (not NovaLauncher) is what solves the problem. Seems pretty straightforward to me ?*♂️
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] danwood76:
Like I said previously. You need to run just trebuchet and see if the issue still occurs, I cannot guess what the cause of your issue is you need to do the hard work.

First step is to see if Trebuchet behaves the same, if it doesn't then you need to create logcats of nova launcher and send it to the Nova launcher developers. If trebuchet does behave the same then make logs and upload them here.

A couple of posts on reddit mentioned switching the default launcher back to trebuchet and then again to nova brings back the recent apps. This would point to an issue with Nova.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MaddogIT:
No, I'm using this app for correct led during online charging (last time I tryed LOS16 settings didn't worked as I wanted). I never charge offline sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] helloyello:
Sorry, I was under the impression that LED status was active on LOS16 for S3 Neo, I was wrong. I usually turn off the phone when I go to sleep and leave it charging, but I don't mind setting it on DND and leaving it on.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nanquan:
The thing is this problem is quite a rare occurrence to begin with. It may happen once or twice every few days, and there is no way to predict or recreate it. I understand what you're saying, but it's just not worth it to me using Trebuchet for gosh knows how long just for the off chance that this problem might occur again. I can say that since writing my OP it hasn't happened once. So I guess if/when it does happen again, I'll try the trick with switching the default launcher back to Trebuchet, then back to Nova and see if that fixes it instead of my previous solution of Force Stopping Trebuchet.

Thanks again for your feedback!
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Neoony:
By the way, I have been running Nova Launcher Prime (currently 6.2.9) since the day we have LineageOS on this phone.

Never had such issue.

My Trebuchet is either Frozen with Titanium Backup, or just disabled in App info (dont remember in what way I disabled it, but probably Titanium)

It has no permissions either.

I see I got Pixel Launcher from Gapps though, but dont use it. (I use "Full" Gapps package)

Maybe...did you give Nova Launcher permission (Enable Service) in Android Settings - Accessibility?

That one mentions something with Recent Apps.

Special permissions:

Device admin - Nova On

Modify system settings - Nova Not allowed

Notification access - Nova On / Pixel launcher Off

Usage access - Pixel launcher Allowed [gonna disable it now]

Thats all I could find on special permissions related to the 2 launchers.

Also both Nova Launcher and Pixel Launcher do not have the usual permissions Location/Phone/Storage enabled.

Not sure if any of this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kaodd:
same here, nothing more to say
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] helloyello:
Short question, I already flashed LOS16 on my S5 Neo and before flashing I used the following stock ROM (the latest, unbranded, I could find):

G903FXXU2BRH2_G903FXEF2BRI1_G903FXXU2BRH2_HOME.tar.md5

Is there any specific requirement for the stock ROM version - bootloader / baseband, before flashing LOS16? I'm asking this because on another phone I own, a S3 Neo, there is a specific requirement for the stock ROM. Just asking, trying to make sure I'm OK with what I did.

Thanks in advance for any useful inputs.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Neoony:
Yes, you are right, there is a requirement.

You need to have marshmallow bootloader, so Android 6 stock ROM, before flashing LineageOS.

You flashed the correct one.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] crisbm:
Hello,

Is this faster than Zaprynov v2.1?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nanquan:
Yes, much faster!
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] crisbm:
I have it already but it's laggy sometimes, and I kinda miss Samsung stock apps like camera, gallery etc. And on Lineagos 16 sometimes the camera looses focus while I capture video.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nanquan:
LineageOS 16 does have some issues, but the overall user experience is much better than stock Samsung Android 7, which in my experience is very laggy and poorly optimized. I also missed the Samsung apps at first, but after looking for a while I found worthy replacements.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] crisbm:
The Auto brightness it's too bright, don't you know how to set it lower? And sm-g903f will get Lineageos 17?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nanquan:
Unfortunately there's no easy way. You just need to keep lowering it manually until eventually it will learn. Takes a couple of weeks at least.

Don't know if it will get LOS 17... That's still in development for all phone models as far as I know. Maybe one of the devs can say...
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] crisbm:
Ok, thanks for all.

---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

Are there any ported ROMs from other Samsung phones (Android 7,8,9) for this model sm-g903f?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nanquan:
No, and there probably won't be any either. SM-G903F is old and outdated at this point and we're lucky at all to be getting Android 9 on it via LOS16. Don't think anyone's gonna bother porting Samsung ROMS from higher models to it. If that's even possible to do.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Neoony:
Just to mention.

I use Lux Auto Brightness to take care of brightness. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vito.lux

Think it was since we got android 9 that the auto brightness started behaving quite weirdly and for me it was never ideal even after few weeks.

The Lux app is old and outdated, but I got no issues with it and it works fine.

Think the only issue I had is, that sometimes I go under 0% brightness and it works, other times I set the brightness under 0% and it does not work.

It gives a lot more control over the auto brightness and you can set/link certain brightness level to certain light conditions, if you would like.

There are a lot of options.

Its a paid app, but I guess there is also a lite version if you want to try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitocassisi.luxlite

Not sure how the lite version behaves though, its a bit older dated than the paid one.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] geocy:
I set my phone to LiveDisplay Night and the brightness does not bother me as much.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] geocy:
This ROM has made me want to keep my phone. Software makes all the difference. Unfortunately my battery now does not hold a charge like it used to when I first got this phone. Since I am now keeping this device I would like to replace the battery with an after market one from SHENMZ for Samsung Galaxy S5. I am assuming its compatible for our device and the 3800mAh should last me two days. Will I have issues with an after market battery and this phone now that it has lineageos?? I do not use nfc or google wallet...so I dont care for those but will i have any other issues or should I buy the official Samsung S5 battery that only has 2800mAh? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Galaxy S5 Neo Low Volume in normal calls and via Telegram, Whatsapp.

Hello this is a great Costum Rom It works great and it works like a charm.

The only problem is with the sound, which is much too quiet both in normal calls and via Telegram, Whatsapp. :mad:

I've tried the following, but to no avail.

<! - 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 = "2" /> <! - 1 ->

<ctl name = "Line-in Volume" value = "6" />

<ctl name = "ADC Left Gain" value = "127" />

<ctl name = "ADC Right Gain" value = "127" />

</ Path>

Can you do something or someone has an idea.

Thank you

I'm using it on 3 phones now but they all have problems with charging. I have to restart to get the phone in charging mode. Is this to solve?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] DannyGer74:
it is a nice rom, it made my s5neolte worth using again, thank you all for that.

However, i do have a small problem with it. I installed the rom and gapps, made a backup in TWRP and put that backup onto another s5neolte.... Now i have 2 phones with the same IMEI and same MAC-adress, i think everybody will understand that it will not work in the same wifi/router. I changed the rom back to original OS, but the mac/imei stayed the same. is there a way to fix this? i know the original IMEI, i do not know the original MAC-Adress. The reason why i did it this way, putting the backup onto another device, i couldn't get the newest ROM installed, so... This way worked on other devices....
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] danwood76:
You messed up your EFS partition. Do you have a backup?

If not you can manually edit the files in that partition to match what your phone should have.

Hello Community.

This may not be the forum to post this post.

I need help.

My cell phone has suddenly stopped receiving a signal.

With the sim on, it sends the error of "no signal" although it has and recognizes a sim.

I have already reset, reinstalled the custom rom, put a stock rom, updated the custom rom, I don't know what else to do.

Thanks in advance.

Ernesto.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] danwood76:

Good morning in Cuba.

Yes, the sim was tested on various phones.

I did factory reset to mobile.

And nothing.

No, it does not work.

I have inserted the sim in another phone and it works.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] danwood76:
Did you flash the correct version for your phone? Sounds like you are SP locked?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ernesto6556:
I guess so, I took nougat from sammobile, the version is G903WVLU1CQI1, what is sp? That was good at first.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] danwood76:
Service provider lock. Was your phone unlocked from the factory or did you have to get it unlocked?

It might be worth getting a new SIM from your provider anyway and seeing if that solves the issue.

I have been done clean installs 3 times on Lineage and once on AOKP. I have the same battery issue. I have been installing micro gapps though and I have no Sim in the phone. In trying to eliminate the battery drain, I even installed amplify to stop wakelocks I know to be safe. However, I never put the phone in airplane mode. I will retry a clean install with pico gapps. If the issue persists, I will try airplane mode to see eliminate the possibility of the phone always trying to connect to a network when there is no SIM in it.

I would have ruled the issue to be old battery but the battery behaves OK on stock ROM.
