Does lineageos 18.1 support poco x3 karna?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] keesedip:
I had Problems with every camera app I tried (gcam, open camera, lineage stock, etc.). I was not able to record videos, but after flashing the optimus drunk kernel (https://xdaforums.com/t/kernel-surya-10-11-optimus-drunk-kernel-v11-8-4-14-217-24-01.4198627/) it's working fine so far.

fw 12.0.7

EDIT:

yesterday it worked fine. today no camera app works with video recording. does anybody have a solution for this?

Which rom is better for privacy, ArrowOS or LineageOS?

I prefer LienageOS, but there is no official rom yet! Maybe I will switch from ArrowOS to this rom if it is better for privacy ;)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Steini86:
I have the same problem. Video is being recorded, but some settings are wrong, it can not be played back. However, it is possible to repair them at a PC (or for example with WhatsApp which transcodes videos before sending).

A working solution I found is the Arnova cam from https://xdaforums.com/t/app-arnova8g2s-google-camera-port.3862448/

Download: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1509/

I have not yet tried the ANXCamera, but that is the next step: https://camera.aeonax.com/

Depends on your settings ;-)

This LineageOS built has GApps included, so do not expect any special privacy.

@mahajant99

This is truly tagged stable

Thoroughly enjoying it, one little thing to ask why i can't disable snap camera as option is not available to avail, any specific reason if you want to share?

Thank you for this masterpiece, wish it transforms into official lineage soon
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mahajant99:
Snap is the default camera, you can't disable it in LineageOS. Currently no plans for official lineage, will see it after my exams

I don't know what I did but I apparently messed up bad. My device after all the steps just boots into fastboot. I can go into TWRP but now the touch screen no longer functions! I'm desperate for help here.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Alin45:
Seems u can use fastboot so:

- u can reflash TWRP and see if the touch screen is resolved; or

- u can use MiFlash to flash any fastboot stock ROM.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Shoppinguin:
First of all thanks for your great work mahajant99.

Installed this 20210310 release few days ago on my X3 NFC, coming from the EU stock ROM 12.07. It's all good and the battery only loses few % each day, which is truly amazing! I have WIFI and mobile data working right from the start and so far it's a great experience.

However there are some things that do not work yet:

1. Recording and sending Video via Signal or Telegram works, but i can not play them back in the app or gallery. They play fine on another phone, a PC or VLC app. I guess this is what was pointed out in comment #166 already. Works flawless on the stock MIUI EU ROM

2. Probably related to #1: Tidal HiFi app does not play anything. It remains stuck at 0:00 and you can not scroll through a song either. You can try without an account, but only(theoretically in this case) listen to 30s of each song. Spotify was also tested and works. Seems to me like a codec's missing or something, idk? It works on the stock MIUI EU ROM.

3. ext4 support for external storage and TF card. TWRP supports it and i checked with a Samsung Galaxy S4 running LOS 18 too. It works there. Since i'm coming from a Sailfish X phone, this is mildly annoying. There, ext4 is the default fs for TF card and external storage and it makes way more sense than FAT32. Also, most LOS ROMS support it, so i guess it's easy to do. I could be wrong however.

4. WiFi HAL crashes and disconnects when it tries to connect to my home wifi router using another captive portal check provider. It throws some SSL exceptions which i can see in logcat. I fixed this by disabling local DHCPv6 which is not needed anyway. I crosschecked this with Galaxy S4 and S5 both also running LOS and it works there. I wouldn't prioritize on this too much since i found a fix that works and is most likely not your ROM at fault.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Meantek:
Thanks for the great ROM, been running it so far with no major issues, except one I ran into today with Android Auto.

It simply refuses to connect to my car's head unit, the head unit itself says "Android Auto disconnected" on occasion, whereas the phone itself doesn't say anything (except go into DND mode when connecting over Bluetooth).

The same configuration ran just fine with my Note 10 previously, any pointers on how to start troubleshooting?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] :
In fact there's no difference (for privacy concerns) between official or unofficial ROMs (if you are using a unofficial port from a recognized developer).

I think the only difference is in "long" term updates, due to unofficial ports depends on the maintainer doesn't changes his mobile.

Is this also working on the Poco X3 Pro? I mean it's quite similar to the normal one.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jose_cm001:
Bro, you are quite a crack, despite the time that the S5 already has, you keep releasing content to get more out of the s5, I'm still using it and personally I have installed all your roms. Thanks a hug.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
I just organized stuff better. All this stuff has been around for awhile. I just had it in many different threads so I consolidated it into one thread. I have been cleaning and closing some threads. Im really surprised anyone still uses an s5 but hey im glad someone still gets some use out of this stuff. I made sure all links worked and reuploaded stuff with dead links so should be good now.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chrisco78:
i'm following these instructions but i'm too gumpy to understand:

"7. Run the Install.cmd this should install some apks on your phone then reboot your phone"

i'm connected to a windows 7, i'm supposed to be running a program from the pc then?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Well yes you have to initially root the phone so you can install safestrap. You have too push the apps to your phone after you install the combination firmware as it has no apk installer so you have too install the apps needed for root and safestrap with adb using the computer. Once that’s done you don’t need computer anymore
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chrisco78:
thank you, i was actually able to figure it out eventually i just forgot to timestamp how long it took me (hours)

appreciate the condensed update, though! most s5ers are still holding on because battery swapability is more important than the app du jour
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] hypermetuljason:
If I flash the Lollipop ROM will I be able to use the settings factory reset option? Or will that cause a brick without reflashing again?

I want to get the phone in a stock state but maintain safestrap otherwise. Remove all personal data, Disable Reactivation Lock etc (I can't turn it off on my current ROM for some reason). Or I guess getting completely stock even without safestrap is okay too since its still possible to re-get it if needed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
The factory reset option in settings will only work if you have stock recovery installed. Format data in safestrap will totally wipe internal storage. wiping just data in safestrap will remove all data except media files. You can flash stock and do it or the combination firmware. All will accomplish the same results.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] OreganoPlanter:
Ok, I followed these steps and made it all the way through this time. HUZZAH!!! (Towelroot didn't work since it said it couldn't connect to the internet) King root worked.

Only problem is, how do I know it worked? There isn't a tool for checking if root worked and this version of ROM doesn't seem to have any apps like Google Play Store to grab more apps. How do I install more apps? Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
The whole point is too get safestrap installed if you can boot to safestrap then the process worked
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jmc15john:
JRKRUSE. Thanks so much for this. I've been stuck for a few days with my dad's old S5 trying to get it back to working. I wiped it, and couldn't get past the Samsung Account Reactivation Lock. Tried flashing a few stock firmwares, but nothing worked. I used your method to install the bootloader successfully. Once installed it boated me into a stripped down version of Android, which displayed all sorts of system diagnostic info on the bottom half of the screen. (Not sure what this is called.) I couldn't get the .cmd file to copy the apk's over but it let me copy them over to the downloads folder and install them all one at a time on the phone. Successfully gained root and followed the rest of your steps. Was successfully installing KitKat and finally getting around the Activation Lock. Thank so much!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Bkid001:
Sorry to reply to such an old post, but which KitKat ROM did you end up using? I have a few phones stuck asking me to log into the last used Samsung account and I need a ROM that will bypass that screen.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] xips:
This thread saved my mysteriously soft bricked, unlocked & rooted S5 VZW device. Thank you jkrruse.

When I try to download EMMC_11_PB1_LL_Rooted_Safestrap_Full.zip I get no mirrors available. Am I SOL?

edit - now one mirror is available which is flaky slow and drops less than 10% into download.

2nd edit- went with Brave browser and used it's download manager to continuously resume dropped download. Hash looks good so here goes...

Final cut: All is well and once I got everything my way I wanted to backup and could not find Safestrap. On boot I get RECOVERY BOOTING..... and nothing else. Had to pull battery. So I'm at a loss. Finally I took the time to make a check list of every step which really doesn't take long and methodically performed each step until success. Have the device where I want it and including a backup. I have many devices and each is unique but this 900V is a workhorse. I think I task overloaded it before so lesson learned.

JKruse you are awesome man - I just tried to take an old S5 (cid 11) to try and work some magic to get around the YouTube app "not supporting" it, broke my S5 bad, and used your threads to fix myself back to PHX 15. (NOT the first time ive been totaled before) You been dope since I first bought it! Many thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] droidzer1:
Well with dozens of phones and most far newer than my s5 I finally had to update it to use a certain mission critical app so I went for LL. Followed the above mostly and it's working although I haven't had the chance to wring out everything yet. Thanks jrkruse again for all your great work! Wondering if I'm the last person on the planet to upgrade 4.4.2 to 5 ;)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dave678:
I'm still using 4.4.2 but on a T-Mobile S5 instead of the Verizon one.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] knottyjonn:
JR - Not as experienced as I'd like to be in this area, but patient and willing to put the time in if I can get the results I'm preferable to - I like the S5 size (one-hand-operable), swappable-battery of course, and several other factors. I've got three Verizon S5 phones still in service and I was hoping to get a little more time with them (prefer to stick with Verizon's network if I can). Was excited to discover Lineage, but it looks like I may not be able to proceed with these specific phones in hand based on finally arriving at your post/thread.

After running your EMMC Check App, it appears they're all version 11 (bootlocked - hence my fail in the Odin steps of Lineage).

Given this, is there NO way to unlock the bootloader or force ANY kind or work-around to proceed with Lineage? Not even if downgrading to the original Lollipop?

From what I understand in your post - other non-Lineage approaches may be able deliver a newer Android OS...but I'd really like to achieve Lineage though if possible (bringing me up to at least Android 11. I even would consider seeking out phone(s) with the 15 EMMC CID if necessary (though I don't know how I'd practically inquire/identify such when asking sellers for that info [decipherable through IMEI/etc?]).

Thanks for all the info assembled here. Hope you might have some advice.

-Jonn
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Lineage will only work on unlocked bootloader The only way too check is too use the app and check or use adb to check and most sellers probably wont do that
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] knottyjonn:
I'm currently using a MVNO that supports both Verizon and T-Mobile networks and I'm utilizing both networks on different phones. The Verizon S5 phones are running on it and work fine coverage-wise on the Verizon network - as they always have. I'll get to the following in a moment, but I'm "testing" T-Mobile's network in my region (for the first time) through them with a new-to-me LG V20 (H918) - coverage is fair enough, but I admit it can drop out in certain rural areas where Verizon is (as we know) stronger.

As I said - the preference (or at least what I want to explore/test first) is an S5 running Lineage using the Verizon network. Since my SM-G900V (CID11) phones can't accomplish this (and since, as you said, most sellers don't know/care to identify CID11 vs CID15), I may consider one already converted (clearly a CID15 if already running Lineage). Any concern/caution on that approach?

What I'm interested in is how much more usable/practical Lineage really makes the S5. Is all hardware functionality retained?...I'm fine with Gapps - even perhaps certain Samsung apps/tools relevant to the S5 hardware. I just can't seem to find anyone offering a decent review/evaluation - or maybe I just haven't dug far enough.

The biggest issue is only having 16gb internal storage. For too long I've juggled using the SD to accommodate additional apps, but the apps I CAN move over to SD of course revert to Internal after updating and I have to transfer back again to SD. I don't want to deal with that anymore...I realize certain models/operating-systems (earlier or later?) easily allowed the SD to be "adoptable" storage acting as internal. I'm willing to do this with the S5 if the Lineage (later Android OS) -route accommodates the need for more space in this way. I guess you would know - How is this problem handled (or is it)?

As for alternatives (most would call it an upgrade) - the LG V20 was I believe truly the last popular phone with a swappable battery. I'm not as wild about the larger size or poorly placed power button on this and other LG phones - but, hardware-wise, I guess it's superior and has that 64gb internal. With this H918 I have now, I should be able to pursue Lineage on it, yes?

I tend to assume the S5 might be the better choice, but I'm speculating/assuming because there must have been so many more produced and it would see support lingering further than the LG. Besides the S5 being readily available/easily-replaceable, I give a little credit to it being IP67 (some may laugh, but at least it has SOME protection), and A LOT more accessories were made available.

If I were willing to switch/use the T-Mobile network, I assume the SM-G900T S5 has an unlockable bootloader? If so, those models are plentiful, IF I should settle for that network.

Sorry to ramble - Hope you see my dilemma and can make a good suggestion? Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wmraim:
I was disappointed to learn that the 11 cid was not upgradable whereas other cid’s for the S5 were. I really don’t know what I’m talking about but it seemed to me that the reason the emmc 11 was different was that the bootloader was locked. The reason the bootloader was locked had to do with the chip instructions necessary to program the rom containing the bootloader for the emmc 11 were different than the instructions to program rom memory used on the other emmc’s for the S5.

No one came up with the instructions used to program the rom for the emmc 11 bootloader.

Since you mentioned you have patience, this is an idea that would take a lot of work and I’m not sure of the outcome.

Verizon offers a PC based tool to upgrade a S5

Software Upgrade Assistant (Samsung) - Software Update | Verizon

Here's how to update the software on your Samsung device using the Software Upgrade Assistant (SUA).

www.verizon.com

It is my hope that in this upgrade package contains code to upgrade the bootloader. The code to upgrade the bootloader will contain the instructions to write to the emmc 11 rom.

Hopefully you can use the bootloader image from the rootable S5’s and use the Verizon code to install on the emmc 11 chip.

Yes. Here's a guide to the 42 or 43 S5 models https://androidforums.com/threads/42-galaxy-s5-models-dummies-guide.892162/
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] knottyjonn:
Funny you should post that link. I found that several days ago while beginning my pursuit in all this and the tab is still running in the browser window for this project - as a reference point. Mainly I was using it as an intro in conjunction with Wiki on the models - specifically to compare the difference in band coverage between the SM-G900F and SM-G900T phones. Is one preferable to the other? No plan to travel internationally with it, so I'm thinking the "T" is preferable for domestic coverage? ... Also - Have you by chance rooted and experimented with Lineage or sticking with one of the 3 original S5 Android OS's? Any thoughts by you (or anyone reading) on my consideration of the LG V20 as an alternative route with Lineage? I'm sure there are threads on the V20, just haven't stepped over to that yet until I've gotten some word from folks who've rooted and are running Lineage on the S5's. Wish someone could speak for both of these scenarios for both makes/models.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dave678:
You'll need the T now that Tmobile got rid of their 3G towers.

I have downgraded to Kitkat on both my G900T and G900F and rooted using Towelroot.

I think they switch the cid number to a unlockable cid.

It would be neat if we could switch the cid 11 emmc to cid 15 emmc.

If there is any interest in running custom recovery/kernel and ROMs on Toshiba eMMC (CID 11), I wrote a bootloader exploit a few years ago for the G900V. You can find the technical details here: https://github.com/oscardagrach/galaxy_s5_dev_tree_appended_bug

If there is someone who is still active in this community that knows how to make guides and instruct people and has solid general computer skills, I can provide the ingredients. The most recent version that can be used is DPD1, all bootloaders after that are patched. I wasn't sure if there would be interest because of how old the device is. I don't have the time to do a write-up nor know the latest methods to root and what not, as well as not having much time to commit.
