[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttesty:
6 months is a good original estimate (in Sept) for a stable 18.1 build for S5, though it may take some more time by the looks of it.

@haggertk posted a few Android 11.0/LineageOS 18.0 builds here (not sure about their state - think it's alpha, but good work!): https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=320376

OpenGApps only has links to 11.0 test builds for ARM64 (not ARM) - haven't used alternatives yet: https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/files/arm64/test/

So BitGApps:

https://drive.google.com/u/0/uc?id=1w3EK5DpDjJWNN27LFLg-_x41fnT4GopC&export=download

Then there's TWRP 3.4:

https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-3.4.0-0-klte.img.html

Magisk:

Releases · topjohnwu/Magisk

The Magic Mask for Android. Contribute to topjohnwu/Magisk development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

It would help to setup a thread on the S5 Unified Development forum for all the Android 11.0 build/setup items for @haggertk's release. There's also CRDroid 11.0, but no idea about long-term builds.

Might need to move to ARM64 for future Android releases - S5 is about 7 years old, though still better than many newer devices (full root, unlocked bootloader, buttons, headphone jack, no curved screen, notification LED, $80-$100 - like the raw cost to make the new $1000 devices, etc). The S10 5G G977P would be a great ARM64 Snapdragon option (bootloader unlocked), but no ROM's yet, silly cost (about $450). Exynos is cheap, but 4G/5G reception is a guess in the US.

For now, just using latest official 17.1 - it's been pretty rock solid: https://download.lineageos.org/klte

No rush to buy a Galaxy S21 Ultra for $2000 - get more for less :)

[Samsung Galaxy A71 5G Questions & Answers] Shizzle2889:
So just moved from a note 4 to the a71 5g uw for verizon. 2 hours and I hate not having access to magisk or custom roms. Additionally, I want to know what fool at verizon decided to make netflix a system app

Down to the point, before the note 4 got root, they had a thread in regards to what is missed about root and work arounds for it. I would like to start that here. For instance the thread on managing ads with dns rather than adaway (which required root). Mine was the sheer customizability. Root allows so many different changes from just uninstalling system apps (*cough* Netflix *cough*) to changing the operating system.

In regards to uninstalling system apps, the note 4 group had an adb script that was probably pulled from somewhere else, that permanently disabled all the bloatware. Does anyone have anything like that for the A71?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
So with every other phone I've had, the caller ID is formatted (555) 234-5678. Since upgrading to the Note 20 Ultra, all numbers show up as +1 555-234-5678. The problem is all of my contacts are in the regular format, so caller and text ID don't always display the name. Is this a glitch on the Note 20 Ultra or maybe on Verizon's side? I've tried turning off assisted dialing, clearing data and cache on all phone and caller ID apps, as well as refreshing the SIM card.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
What a little bugger... so you would need to redo all your contact numbers for it to work correctly?

My AT&T 10+ variant stores them as yours does but uses the 1 prefix format for incoming calls.

Uses either interchangeably.

I'd say it's in the phone firmware or app (a verizon bug). Advance tech support at Verizon might be your best shot if no one here knows.

Remember if it's a carrier phone they are partnered with Samsung and call the shots for their 3rd party apks. Hold Verizon accountable if so... they might try to say they're not partnered but they're joined at the hip.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
It should not matter. All calls coming in from any provider will not be (555) 123-4567 from what I have seen. I have my contacts as that and they popup that way unless someone calling me is not in my contacts.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] Bierfreund:
Can the Tab S5e with stock Firmware read an USB-Stick attached via USB-OTG Adapter which is formated in NTFS?

Other filesystems like exFAT or FAT32 are not possible (Fat32 because of files >4GB and exFAT because the stick is also used on deviced which do not support exFAT but NTFS)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] Tchotchke:
I don't know about stock firmware, but TWRP recognizes NTFS.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] Village_Idiot:
I just tried it with an 8GB USB stick formatted for NTFS using the OTG adapter and it wouldn't recognize it.

I'm curious. What type of system are you using that does not support exFAT? Pretty much every modern OS supports it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] arnoboun:
To access my NTFS-formatted USB flash drives, I use

exFAT/NTFS for USB by Paragon Software

. I plug in the USB flash drive into my tablet, allow the app to access the drive, tap Mount within the app, and then access my files using Total Commander. Be sure to tap Unmount within the app before disconnecting the drive.

It's a paid app but I think it's worth it. I can also access my files from my 4TB USB external hard drive.

Hopefully this helps!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] Bierfreund:
I'm preparing the stick for a friend of mine which mainly wants to use the stick on her Smart TV. I'm not 100% sure if this TV supports exFAT, but my experience ist, that many TVs don't support exFAT yet. I don't want to risk to convert it to exFAT and then it won't work on the device it should be used mainly. (I can't test, because she lives far away and i have to send the stick). To use it also on the tablet is nice to have but no must.

It's also not sure if the tablet supports exFAT, is it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] Village_Idiot:
I see. I would be careful with NTFS too. Not all TVs support NTFS. What is the TV model she has. Pretty much all tablets that support OTG supports exFAT. Specifically, all Samsung tablets support exFAT.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] Bierfreund:
She has an Samsung TV, for the exact modell I have to ask.

Edit: In the meantime i asked fot the TV model (Samsung UE55MU6279) and checked the manual:

● The TV supports the FAT, exFAT, and NTFS file systems.

Does someone know or can try if exFAT works on the tablet?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] jckelsall:
The tablet definitely supports exFAT.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Jaitsu:
Whenever I make a backup in TWRP, and later try to restore it, I get no errors, the restore seems to go fine, but when I reboot, I never get anything but a bootloop on the Mi logo. Even if the system was working when I made the backup, working before I do the restore, and haven't changed the encryption (same password, same ROM, no /data wipe) the restore breaks it. It's happened on Xiaomi.EU, it's happened on AOSiP, ArrowOS, several versions of mauronofrio's TWRP (including the latest) and Sky Hawk recovery - I've just never had a successful restore on this phone.

I just see phone in 'my computer' but nothing is in this folder and I can't drag files into this folder.

On phone in file manager I can see folder "Android" and then "data" and then a few folders but I don't see anything in these folders... I can't create and delete anything by clicking add folder or delete something but installing apps from google play works.

I tried to send the file via 'airdroid' and there is no folder on my phone visible either.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CR98BLN:
From time to time the word NINJA appears when I tap on "paste". Does anyone know why the word appears in my clipboard? Should I be worried?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raiz:
Well that's weird indeed. There are 3 option:

1- One of your friend is messing with you (and that's a pretty good ninja)

2- An app that uses your clipboard has a bug or something like that and there's the word "ninja" left behind everytime you use it.

3- it's a "malicious" software, and in that case you might want to check the apps you've installed before it began. Also, if your phone is running slower than usual, it may be a virus. Check all of your recently installed apps, try to see which one is active in the background.

(But that's very unlikely, a virus won't just copy/paste the word "Ninja", it has other things to do)
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
No chance for adding volte. It's utopic to believe you could eben keep you phone setup.

You don't share your reason for using lineageOS. If it's about avoiding preinstalled apps, you can instead debloat stock rom.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Alias Bongo:
I was afraid of that, but I did still have some hope.

Is that klte/S5-specific, or is it a more general statement about LineageOS at large, which holds true regardless of phone model?

If the latter, then LineageOS is soon to become unusable for anyone with T-Mobile service, which seems like a major problem that people would already be working actively to try to correct. (I also think I heard that other providers may make a similar change, which would make the problem more widespread; I specifically half-remember articles about AT&T in that regard. No concrete backup for that at the moment, though.)

If the former, then what phone models are there for which VoLTE does or can readily be made to work under LineageOS?

I'm a little surprised that the reasons would even be asked about, given that this is a LineageOS-specific forum; I wouldn't expect the people here to be up for directing people away from LineageOS to other ROMs.

My original impetus for using LineageOS (at the time, CyanogenMod) was simply one of principle about avoiding proprietary software and vendor lock-in/lockdown/et cetera. I also like the ability to control updates on my own, both in terms of being able to determine when I update to a new version and of being able to continue to get updates independent of whether the manufacturer/carrier/etc. continues to release them.

Avoiding preinstalled apps is certainly one aspect of it, but it's by no means the only one.

I also doubt that I could simply debloat the stock ROM, for the simple reason that I don't think I *have* the stock ROM - or if I do, it's years out of date (as I said, 2015). I left a search running overnight, and on that basis have managed to find the backup copy of the stock image that was on the phone when I received it, but unless trying to extract the necessary stack components for VoLTE support from it might be viable after all I don't know how useful that will turn out to be.

(I'm probably going to invest some time into looking into that today, anyway, but I don't really expect to get any results out of it.)
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
I think your chances for volte are better if you change from samsung to motorola.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Alias Bongo:
That's unfortunately fairly vague, as a basis for going out and buying a smartphone.

What I'm looking for in terms of "VoLTE does or can readily be made to work under LineageOS" is something for which a statement like one of the following can be made:

"Yes, VoLTE works on this model under LineageOS out of the box; you don't need to do anything special to get it working, just flash LineageOS and go."

"Yes, it's possible to get VoLTE working on this model under LineageOS; here's what you need to do to get it working, beyond just flashing LineageOS."

Do you know of any specific smartphone models for which you can make one of those statements?

While I'm not against investigating and experimenting and trying things out to get things to work, and in fact sometimes that can even be fun, I do not want to do that in a production environment - and I'm under deadline (albeit with a few months to go), with limited resources for experimenting (in the form of money to buy smartphones which might work), before this becomes a critical production environment.

(Also, I've found what look like IMS-related files in the backup copy of the stock ROM, which don't seem to exist in the LineageOS that's currently running on my phone. Depending on what they look like on further examination, I may try pulling them in and seeing if anything changes; worst-case scenario, I should just have to boot to recovery and restore a backup.)
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
Yes. Moto e2 lte surnia has volte in LineageOS out of the box.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Alias Bongo:
Thanks! I'll investigate that option, then, in addition to any others that present themselves.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Alias Bongo:
Unsurprisingly, it doesn't seem to be that simple. The files involved in this are themselves few enough, and most although not all of them don't seem to exist in the currently-running image, so they can be copied in without further ado - but there are enough references to them in other files, which either *do* exist (and so would need to be edited, in a way that leaves things compatible with both systems) or seem likely to themselves (need to) be referenced elsewhere, that the whole thing turns into a mess of cascading complexity.

Short of input from someone with expertise on IMS/VoLTE implementation from some other model, I suspect this won't turn out to be a viable avenue to pursue, at least not unless and until I have my hands on a Galaxy S5 which isn't my production phone and as such can be used for experimentation. Even then, I'll probably need to basically build my own custom ROM (or custom local build of LineageOS, at least) rather than just inserting files into a system built from an existing one.

I've looked briefly into the Moto E2, and while it does look like the newest/final models of it would support VoLTE in a way that LineageOS would plausibly be able to handle, it's also at least nearly as old as the S5 and is less capable and desirable in other ways. It'd be better than nothing, but not something I would prefer as my first choice.

I'm hoping that other people chime in with more models to suggest. As this is going to become increasingly important as more carriers shut down their 3G/2G networks, and VoLTE becomes the only way to do voice calling, I'd ideally like to see a page - possibly this thread, possibly another one, possibly a Wiki page - with as comprehensive a listing of phone models which *are* known to have working VoLTE support under LineageOS (and/or possibly other non-stock ROMs) as possible, including links to any necessary how-to directions per model and notes on any special criteria (e.g., carrier-specific support or support differences between regions or the like). I hoped something like that would already exist, given the apparent upcoming VoLTEpocalypse - but as it doesn't seem to (or at least I haven't managed to find one thus far), it wouldn't hurt to start trying to create one.

My understanding is that Verizon is apparently going to make the "VoLTE mandatory" transition in January, much the same as T-Mobile, and AT&T is planning to do it sometime in 2022. With Sprint out of the picture after the T-Mobile merger, that's basically all of the major US wireless carriers that I'm aware of, so this will be universal (at least in the USA) before too very long. Some amount of preparation to make sure the custom-ROM field will remain viable past that point would seem appropriate; I'm surprised by how little activity in that area I've been able to find thus far.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] ssnova:
Totally agree, I'm surprised this news hasn't gotten more attention in the community. First came to mind, "ah crap, no more custom roms." (perse).

I started a thread on this on the LG v50 forums to raise awareness, hopefully there can be workarounds:

https://xdaforums.com/v50-thinq/help/att-t-mobile-to-off-3g-networks-disable-t4163491

--

By forcing VOLTE, this can potentially lock out some unlocked phones and also exclude custom roms, forcing users to buy carrier branded phones. In addition, shutting down 3G and forcing 4G VOLTE will ensure that lots of customers upgrade/buy new phones when their current phone may be perfectly fine otherwise(unnecessary costs and more perfectly working phones in the land fill in vain).
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nxb:
IIRC, you could use a stock from on your S5 and just remove the bad parts. It's no substitute for AOSP but you got to do what you got to do. Plus it's free. The stock files should be available and you can use recovery to image your phone so you don't lose your data. That is the route I would go and can't really do on my S3.

Other phone selections are looking GRIM in terms of removable batteries, reasonable size, etc. You can look to the V20 or G5 from LG but you will have to do the above process and that is almost where I'm at. Poked and prodded rom isn't the end, I did it for years on my gS2 when AOSP couldn't get HW fully functional.

Motorola has models that do work but they are mostly sealed units and everything is really hard to find as its plastered all over XDA in posts from years ago. Do all rom links even work?

While we were sleeping people got taken over by the machine and the devs didn't know what was coming or couldn't figure out the proprietary implementations.

The question with Tmo is also, is band 12 mandatory or will other phones work on 2 and 4 and volte over that. Nobody has even asked the question. I'm going to try to be safe.

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] uds0:
So odd that such a fatal issue seems to be imminently coming without some progress being made to avert it because unneeded and dangerous 5g is crowding out 2g & 3g. The s5 and note 4 are THE gold standard of excellent screen and hardware and thus the only real choices of replaceable battery phones - the REAL reason that phone mfg force millions of phones to be tossed in the landfills - shame on them! Custom Roms provide extremely important current security updates and allow apks that are updated and no longer work on slightly older android 6 versions (chase, Starbucks, united, etc). Pretty bad to discover after factory resetting a phone that play store won't let you download current or working version.

Perhaps we can crowd fund developers to attack this looming disaster soon?
