i also tried the latest version from 11.11.2020 but that also has the blackscreen bug.. -_- will this rom ever work again?! :/ i really hope so...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Pas31:
Hello,

I tried to flash this ROM (RROS-Q-8.5.9-20200901) on my old S5, and everything was good, except that I cannot give write acces to my Sdcard for any apps !!!

I installed Magisk module : "ExSDCard Acess Enabler", but it was the same, read is ok but write is impossible on the sdcard !

Does anyone has an advice ?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] ilidan371:
There's a "Force allow apps on externel" option in developer options. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Pas31:
It's strange, because I think that I did that, with no success ....:confused:

I'm probably wrong, and I will flash the ROM again, and try this one more time.

Thank you for this solution
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] craP_cillA:
flashed the latest experimental version 17.11.2020, together with open gapps micro. guess what: blackscreen bug too. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] bgatos:
Does anybody know what happened to Magisk recently? After the 8.0.3 Magisk Manager update Saftynet fails (basicIntegrity and ctsProfile as well). RootBeer detects root on this Rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] xsonymonx:
Which Version of Magisk? 20.4 , 21.0 vor 21.1?

I have 21.1 and Safetynet works
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] bgatos:
I have 20.4. The latest stable. And this version has worked just great so far. What changed now?

21.1 is beta, I wasn't brave enough to try it yet :), but I will. Thanks for the idea!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] bgatos:
I can confirm: 21.1 works like a charm.

20.4 is not good anymore. idk what happened with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] craP_cillA:
someone tested the build from yesterday?!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] FiestaLake:
Don't know. Havoc is also facing the same problem.

I will tell you guys when the testers say they got working the build.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Bobthahog:
Can this be used on Sprint S5? I choose kletdv, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] saikyom:
anyone able to make the led colors show up (green when charging, red when low battery etc..?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] FiestaLake:
It will be fixed soon (if new builds successfully boot).

Hi, will there be a kltechnduo(G9008w) version of rom in the future, thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ragnarox36:

Trebuchet crashing on newest version?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] craP_cillA:
rr is dead on android 10.

use the "latest" version from september last year: https://get.resurrectionremix.com/ten/klte/RROS-Q-8.5.9-20200901-klte-Official.zip
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] FiestaLake:
Havoc R seems working fine tho there are several bugs. So RR 9 (A11) should be fine too. Still waiting it...

Will try to build RR 8 (A10) again tho I can't still promise stability (or at least working or not)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] FiestaLake:
New update (only for klte now... other varients soon) available...

Please note that you may need to wait a hour when you face black screen... Thank you...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] craP_cillA:
55 minutes to be exact! :D but it happens only on the very first start, so that's fine. :) after all those month i'm really happy that the rom runs (pretty good) again! the only thing i noticed so far, is that the flashlight doesn't work anymore...it's greyed out in the qs.

anyway: thank you very, very much dude!!

p.s. a BIG thing i just noticed: google camera isn't included in the rom and the camera doesn't work at all! i tried it with open camera instead and getting an error.. :/
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] craP_cillA:
my resume after ~24 hours: don't flash the new version! i've never experienced the following behaviour: the latest version freaked out, out of a blue...i couldn't play/download videos/media files anymore, apps stopped working, the theme i enabled just resetted itself after a restart and the worst thing: the rom didn't recognize my sd-card after a restart! oO while my pc clearly did..so i was glad to took a backup of it (otherwise i would be f*cked!). but i had to format it within the rom. i don't know what caused this error..and don't get me wrong, i'm in the "flashing-business" since 2012 so i'm no newbie! i swichted back to 8.5.9. and i'll guess we should just wait for an android 11 version of rr. :)

anyway: thank you for the determination so far fiestlake!!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lymond:
I have to concur with the media files issues (but didn't take any logs so not much use). Local media files wouldn't run, youtube vanced opened but wouldn't run. I did OTA initially then totally clean flashed and reinstalled everything but this didn't help. I had no issues with sd card but wake with home button didn't work for me. I too rolled back to 8.5.9 from backup (complete with that rootfs issue from TWRP to contend with).

But yes, thanks for continuing to develop this, amazing effort!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] MACHETE!:
Hello all... well it's been eons since I rooted my ancient HTC EVO, but now I'm back trying to breathe new life into my G900T. Have installed the above version of the ROM w/nano gapps per instructions, nothing else. Everything is working great except one small little glitch (so far).

When the phone goes to sleep the screen freaks out and flickers for about 5 seconds and then the phone goes to sleep (pics attached). Does anyone else have this problem? Any setting recommendations/fixes? I've tried re-wiping/re-installing per instructions and can't seem to cure the problem. Any info/help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Boatshow:
It's probably an old hardware problem. My phone's a second-hand and it started doing this after a year of me using it. Sometimes it's temperature-related. You can apply a band-aid by setting the brightness very high, that often makes it better.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] MACHETE!:
Actually it's a BNIB G900T S5 I found on eBay. I try to stay away from anything "previously owned". That and I like the user replaceable battery that no phone has offered since. I had tried a different screen off animation, but have changd it back to Simple fade and it seems to help somewhat, with just the bottom quarter portion of the screen flickering. I would think setting the brightness higher would make it worse, yes? I tried but it didn't seem to help.

I've now seen the same behavior when powering off, restarting or when notifications popup on the lock screen. I tried installing the Tuned kernel but that didn't seem to help either. I'll try wiping/reinstalling one more time and see what happens. I'd like to avoid doing a factory reset but will if needed, have done it a few times already anyway. Just a pain to have to reinstall all my personal apps.

Thanks again for your reply and any other suggestions you, or anyone else can provide...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Boatshow:
To be fair even if it's BNIB it probably sat in a warehouse for 5 years, might've had something to do with it. :p

It's a weird defect that happens to AMOLED displays, not just our phones. Search for AMOLED tint or green flicker in a search engine. When the display has this defect it will flicker when it's in a low power state. Yours isn't that bad yet, if I set my phone to low brightness the entire lower half of the screen turns green.

You can try toggling the setting in developer mode about forcing GPU rendering. That helps some people but it does nothing on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] MACHETE!:
Well you may have a point there... just for fun (a lot of time on my hands) and to eliminate possible issues with the RR ROM, I flashed back to the stock firmware (anticipating possibly sending the phone back). No luck, bottom quarter of the screen still flickers on powering off, restarting and entering sleep mode.

I searched as you suggested and found a few possible solutions, but none of them seemed to help. So I've aksed for a replacement phone, figured I give it one more try before I ask for a refund. Good timing, the return/exchange window ended yesterday.

Thanks again for your help/suggestions. Might just be time to get a "real" new phone...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Boatshow:
I obviously can't tell for sure since I don't know the circumstances, but sometimes BNIBs are just really good refurbs in original packaging. If you have root there's actually a charger plugged in count you can check. Mine's in the thousands. Run these in a terminal:

su
cat /efs/FactoryApp/batt_cable_count

If you have no other options getting a new display assembly or gutting one from a dead phone will probably fix this. A new display doesn't cost that much but the repair's hard to do so I've been avoiding it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] MACHETE!:
Well it sure looked new, sealed box w/stickers intact, all accessories etc., although the manual was for a SM-G900F. The phone was definately a G900T though, had T-Moblie v6.01 software, hmmmmm...

I didn't root it, just flashed TWRP, wiped it and installed the ROM. I already sent it back (after flashing the stock firmware), awaiting on a replacement. We'll see how it goes. Thanks again...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Rahbar11:
It's a normal thing and there are only three possible solutions:

Flash custom kernel (with smartdim)

Use your device with highest brightness always

Keep your device hot always (it will flicker only when it'll be cold)

I know you said anything didn't worked but I also know that this issue takes time to get fully fixed.

I also had this problem but I chose the second option and within a month all flickering was gone. You can use RGB settings under the live display menu to reduce the brightness without touching the brightness slider. That's what I use. Keep your brightness to full and reduce RGB values.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] MACHETE!:
Thanks for your suggestions. I'll see what happens when the replacement arrives and go from there. Thanks again...

Something minor maybe but I guess good to report:

I'm using Signal App for messaging + SMS. This morning I open the app to send a greeting msg to friends

and I wanted to include some pictures too. Then I touch the + sign then the Gallery then I selected one of the folder has pictures then I saw all thumbnail pics were black!!!!! I chose different folders, the result was same. Than I opened phone's Gallery app to see if the result is same... yes, it was. Didn't know what to do then decided to restart... Than I rebooted to recovery instead.. Wiped dalvik and cash then rebooted to kernel... Result: recovered... all thumbs are OK

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] FiestaLake:
Maybe RR issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] saikyom:
This may look stupid but can anyone answer me

since 8.5.9 works for me but 8.6.9 gives me bootloops

if I flash 8.6.9 then after that flash the boot.img from 8.5.9,s zip file will it work ?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] FiestaLake:
What's your model?

kltekor and kltechn seem bootlooping so I will rebuild it when I checked all the things work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] FiestaLake:
Even if you don't use it, stupid Samsung sensors think the cover is connected to your device, so i will recommend you to disable it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] FiestaLake:
I uploaded new build for kltekor. Can you check whether or not it boots fine?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BigPulco:
Thanks a lot your reply. Indeed thanks a lot to you for your great work! That problem is not repeated again, but in case, which sensors exactly you are suggesting to disable and how?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] saikyom:
it still bootloop kltekor

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] MACHETE!:
Hey guys... received my replacement phone and it seems to be a lot better than the last one. No flickering at least, yet. Installed the v8.6.9 previous to this one and everything seems to be ok so far. Sorry for the silly question, but can I just install this update over the top of what I have? Do I have to wipe anything, cache etc? Or is it best to start from scratch. Thanks for any help, and your great work!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] FiestaLake:
You can dirty flash I think.

Ok. I will try to look at it. Thanks for info.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] FiestaLake:
But can you try this method in order to check it boots or not?

I need to confirm whether or not this is related to kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] saikyom:
kltekor

here is what I did I flashed 8.6.9 then flashed the boot.img from 8.5.9 = bootloop

I then flashed "tuned kernel" which works for me but still = bootloop

and I went back and flashed 8.5.9
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] FiestaLake:
Thank you for testing. At least I know that it's not kernel related issue now.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] SGS5Korea:
My kltekor G900K booted fine, on the first try I just flashed the ROM and it worked, after that I went to TWRP again to flash Magisk, GApps and Tuned Kernel it still booted without problems.

thanks FiestaLake for a solid ROM and even better than the previous version in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BigPulco:
Thanks for this hint... I used "Force stop" for system app FlipFlap... (let us see if something happens...)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BigPulco:
over ADB, FlipFlap disabled :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] saikyom:
I have g900s , and it bootloops no matter what I do
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lymond:
This is a little off ROM topic but perhaps somebody might be able to suggest something. I broke the screen on my S5 (klte G900f) and bought a new one. The TWRP backup for the old unit won't restore onto the new one so I completely fresh installed 8.6.9 latest version (works very well, thanks!)

However, for two apps I use and can't replace, play store says "your device isn't compatible with this version". I tried a clean wipe and install of 8.5.9 but same issue. Titaniumbackup of the apps won't restore them. Attempt to install from apk says "app not installed", older apks also won't install.

Both apps install no problem on LOS 17 so for some reason RR is different. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] FiestaLake:
Same gapps?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] FiestaLake:
Can you give me the logs using adb?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lymond:
Yeah, same gapps. I also tried it entirely without gapps, restoring from titanium backup and from apk without success.

I have now got round the issue by restoring only the system from backup of the old phone onto the new phone and reinstalling all apps using titaniumbackup to restore data where necessary.

OTA upgrade to 8.6.9 then worked perfectly and everything seems to have carried on working. It's all a bit hacky but seemed to work. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BigPulco:
I have TWRP 3.5.2_9-0 installed. TWRP reports the wrong date and time and reflects this incorrect information in the files and folders it creates during backups. My backup is starting with the date 1970-12-19...... Because the TWRP was correctly reporting the date when I was using LOS 16, then I start to seach the date in the ROM and I found it in following file:

/sys/class/rtc/rtc0/date

When I open it as text inside 1970-12-19 exist.

So, what may be to do next to correct TWRP time setting??? Which file(s) used by TWRP to build time???

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BigPulco:
Can I try to OTA Updates or I directly try dirty flash... in anyway, kernel effected?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] FiestaLake:
You can dirty flash ofc. If you use custom kernel other than the default one, you need to flash it after updating rr manually.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BigPulco:
I did Dirty Flash update and now I have RROS-Q-8.7.0. I thank for that FiestaLake to keep my phone up to date.

For this opportunity I like to write what I did exactly, so some one can use it as a guide;

1) I was having followings:

- KLTE

- RROS-Q-8.6.9 (20210520) + GAPPS (pico) + Magisk + Custom Kernel + Apps installed

- RROS-Q-8.7.0.zip + GAPPS (pico).zip + Custom Kernel.zip on the SD Card

- Recovery is Official TWRP

2) - Boot to Recovery

- Wipe Cash + Dalvic/Art

- (I do NOT wipe the SYSTEM, I thought it is not necessary because it is indeed OTA update)

- Flash RROS-Q-8.7.0.zip & GAPPS (pico).zip in one go

- Wipe Cash + Dalvic/Art again

- Reboot to system

3) I check as much as as possible after loading completed. And it was all OK except that I forget to flash the custom ROM I was using...

4) - So back to "boot to recovery"

- Wipe Cash + Dalvic/Art

- Flash Custom Kernel.zip

- Wipe Cash + Dalvic/Art

- Reboot to system

5) Now all OK
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] FiestaLake:
You don't need to wipe cache and art cache every time tho.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] MACHETE!:
I do this as a mater of course anyway, couldn't hurt right? I've dirty flashed the last two versions and so far everything seems to be working. Anyway a little off topic maybe, but could someone recommend a replacement battery for our S5's? Are those extended capacity batteries offered online any good or really offer extended SOT? Thanks for any recommendations...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] XtraWater:
The ROM works great. I have two questions.

Is there a way to disable screen timeout? On another phone with RR (also Android 10) aren't any entries like 10 sec, 30 sec 5 min .... checked. I don't remember how I did this.

I prefer to use the hardware buttons. Press home button to wake up. It works, but the issue is that after wake up the screen goes to home screen instead to the last state (like last app).

Is there a way to solve this two things? For now I'm using a tasker profile which keeps the screen on when certain apps are running.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BigPulco:
There is a restart about once a week... However, unlike "boot to system", when the job is completed, the SIM card pass is not asked. The system continues where it left off. Cash and Dalvik Cash are protected. I didn't understand why. Have any body else encountered this situation? Can anyone have a suggestion?

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] FiestaLake:
You should ask in RR Official Group as it's not device specific.

It shouldn't hurt a lot. But don't do that when changing with minor versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] MACHETE!:
Anyway a little off topic maybe, but could someone recommend a replacement battery for our S5's? Are those extended capacity batteries offered online any good or really offer extended SOT? Thanks for any recommendations...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Boatshow:
@MACHETE! I recommend RavPower's 2800 mAh battery if you can still find one. SKU is RC-EB-BG900BBC and price was ~$10-15.

No NFC chip like most aftermarkets but cells seem pretty good. They were the top brand for S5 batteries on Amazon when they sold them. My primary's been in use for 1.5 years. As always, slight degradation but I think it ages pretty well.

The market's flooded with crap and knockoffs unfortunately. Just pick something and pray it works well enough. Can try your luck with OEM batteries, the EB-BG900BBU is around $10 on Amazon and eBay. All real ones should have working NFC.
