[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] rootkitty:
I'm trying to convert an "original" SM-G900W8 to LOS 18.1, and I'm wondering if there is anything special that I need to do to work with a phone that is that old? I have another SM-G900W8, that has been upgraded several times, and it was no problem, but it was coming from LOS16... just did the wipe as recommended with TWRP, flashed and good to go.

I have successfully installed TWRP-3.6.0_9-0-klte,, but when I try to do a nandroid backup (just in case i need ot go back for some reason), it fails - here is the last few lines of recovery.log:

Any suggestions on how to make a backup that I can restore if I need to.

Does this issue mean I am going to have other issues if I do a clean wipe and install of LOS18.1?

Any suggestons (including other places where I should post this question), advice is much appreciated.

I just flashed https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/full/klte/20220123/lineage-18.1-20220123-nightly-klte-signed.zip OTA and well...

It got weird Bro! All apps crash at launch, I'm trying to capture a log or two.

***EDIT***

So it looks like if you do the OTA update instead of doing a manual update it enables Encryption and DM Verity.

I'm guessing the OS broke when I tried to fix Magisk by flashing the boot.img followed by Magisk-v23.0.zip, UPDATE-Busybox.Installer.v1.34.1-ALL-signed.zip and Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020.zip then wiping the Dalvik and rebooting...

I guess don't use the OTA?!? I kinda figured it would parse for that first!

***UPDATE***

If anyone else is having similar issues, it's because Magisk is having issues with Android 11 so try the Canary Builds.

That's not an OTA nor an update issue, it's your setup that's messed up. Maybe some modules or some mods you made?

See my post above yours S5 LineageOS 18.1 Update 2022-01-23 - Android Security Bump

BTW reposting other people's work without their permission like you did for Magisk & other stuff is frowned upon by developers & bad practice IMO.

The Magisk dev is very clear about not redistributing his work.

It's better to link to the original threads or webpages as maybe some updates are available & also users can get more info.

Some devs also track the number of downloads which they can't do in this case.

Also there is the question of attribution: give credits to whom did the work.

I was just trying to supply all the relevant info. I removed the offending files. I'm trying a fresh clean install to see what happens. So far I got some nasty bootloops and kernel panics on my SM-G900V! I reformatted everything with TWRP properly so that's not it. Gitlab is kind of a pain for posting issues so I'll just upload what I find here. I see there is still no F2FS, EXT4 or even NTFS support for the external SD Card.

Hi guys,

I've successfully rooted my device to this ROM and as it has broken glass, I'd like to use it as a media player only.

For this purpose I'd like to use Wavelet App (supports Androids v.9 and up), but I get this error message

"Wavelet was unable to instantiate DynamicsProcessing effects" as described here.

Is there some possibility to make this work? Or can someone confirm it works with previous ROM(s)? (if so, which one?)

Thank you very much.

I experience that the phone lags and apps stop quite often, and sometimes Trebuchet stops. Does anyone know a fix? I did install BITGApps on an earlier stage and had the feeling that the phone was faster then, but I flashed Open Gapps last time I installed LOS18 from scratch - I think It was the nano package, and I wonder if even this package us too heavy?

Does anyone know why the email app was dropped in Los 18.1? I've always considered Los's built-in email app as trustful. Sorry for the off top but what do you use now instead? There are plenty of email clients on Play store but how many of them are really secure? Some of them don't even hide that they collect information from emails.

config: TWRP 3.5.2_9.0, Magisk 23.0 and lineage-18.1-20220123....and I was having following problems:

- Sometimes ( about two times a week), Trebuchet stops... usually waiting or restarting trebuchet was solving problem

- Up to now this is happened only two times: screen is black and no button responding... except long push to power button gives a pop up windows than from there you may select to restart the system...

Today I updated to TWRP 3.6.0_9-0 and also to lineage-18.1-20220130 nightly.. Magisk is still 23.0.. Let us see if

we still have same problems....

Guys I am not sure but where is the "vibration intensity" settings? I thought there was once a setting for it and one could change it but somehow it's gone and I don't know from which release on this happened or is it just move to somewhere else? I searched in the settings search bar but it leads me to the settings where it should be but I only have available setting on/off for vibrate on call, messages and feedback but no where to set up the intensity.

any ideas? or did the DEVs just remove it - if so why?

You can configure the intensity and make it persistent in SmartPack Kernel Manager.

You can probably also configure the intensity manually with root but I don't know the commands.

I don't want to root my phone. Is there a setting file somewhere you can configure it? I guess it must be but I don't know here to look or to search for what directive to find it. If I find that file I can edit it then everything is fine.

I am not 100% sure but as far as I remember there was not long ago the setting for vibration intensity but as I said it's gone and I don't know since when.

But thanks for the workaround.

I stop getting texts until I literally open the Messaging app. I've ran into the doze problem before and whitelisted com.android.messaging.

But I've never had the text system outright never show me any notifications before. I can send texts from KDE Connect etc just fine but I don't seem to get any texts until I have the Messaging app open. How the heck do I fix this?

This is kinda hard to troubleshoot tbqh, I think it might be the cell towers in my area because they haven't worked right ever since some weather.

Edit: I got really pissed off so I went to F-Droid and replaced the Messaging app with QKSMS and I can receive texts normally again! So it's a problem with the stock Messaging app. How do I reset it safely?

Edit 2: Problem mysteriously corrected itself after some time. Now using stock SMS app again.

I have downloaded a QR scanner app and that works. So something is wrong with the 'snap' built-in camera. Am I the only one with this problem?

S5 LineageOS 18.1 Update 2022-02-20 - Android Security Bump

Using the built-in Updater I OTA updated S5 G900M LineageOS 18.1 klte build 2022-02-13 + MindTheGapps + Magisk 23.0 + TWRP 3.6.0_9-0 to build 2022-02-20: everything went smoothly as usual & GApps + Magisk survived the update.

There are only a few changes listed in https://download.lineageos.org/klte/changes/ and some of them do not concern the S5 klte* family but most importantly it includes the monthly Android security bump: Bump Security String to 2022-02-05.

After the automatic reboot as seen in the screenshot > Settings > About phone > press on Android version > Android security update: February 5, 2022.

The Vendor security patch level just below it remains @ August 1, 2017 because the vendor is Samsung & it is not publishing security patches for it's S5 proprietary hardware related blobs anymore since August 2017.

See Android Security Bulletin - February 2022 for details about the security fixes.

Thank you to the Lineage Team & Mr. haggertk for keeping our old S5 klte* up to date. :cool: 👍

There was an issue with the LineageOS automated builder and the build 20220213 took more than 1 day to complete for some devices as you can see here https://buildkite.com/lineageos/android-nightly/builds/860 so these like your klte have the download package labeled 20220214 but once installed it shows correctly as 20220213 in > Settings > About phone > Android version > LineageOS version.

Anyway build 2022-02-20 is fine with the correct date & security bump as I posted above.

This post may not relate directly to my SM900I on Los 18.1 but new Android battery management in general. I've just got my 3rd battery since 2014. The last one wouldn't hold a charge. I no longer use wireless charging because of overheating and I studied the pros and cons of leaving the phone plugged in. I found something that I'd like clarified since I took to plugging my S5 into the universal charger on my 13+2 port Orico hub. This port has a red light which flashes only when current flows and I found that after 100% the best way to get the light to remain off is to reduce the performance slider in battery settings and turn off wifi and mobile data. Is it true that my S5 phone activity after 100% charge does not draw on the battery but gets its current drawn directly from the USB, the way a car alternator bypasses the battery when running? When fully charged, I therefore suspect, the flashing red light on my Orico hub directly indicates software activity and got my PC to keep an eye on the Orico hub's flashing light as a suspicious activity indicator. The new Gold battery, with good Aliexpress reviews, states it holds 4350mah but reports 100% at 3800mah, they say to prevent overcharge. Any comments?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
S5 Battery Charging

I ran some charging tests on my S5 G900M using an inline USB multimeter and made this post: S5 Battery Charging - Fake 100%.

Amps goes automatically down after reaching 100% & eventually goes to 0 with just a trickle once in a while.

So no need to "performance slider in battery settings".

No. It gets power from the battery. See linked post above.

Who "reports" that?

It's probably just a guess based on the voltage & the S5 battery specs in the OS which is 3800mah.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Jimekus:
My new battery thanks you for your experiments, because it comes back from 100% plus a reboot to 92%, so it must be a good one and not a fake. I feel that your charging experiment in the power off state would overcharge the battery to well over the 100% being reported by Android, whereas charging while turned on reports a lower voltage to be 100%. I read this was for the purpose of ensuring the battery lasts longer. I couldn't install a charge limit program without root so I'm pleased to say leaving it plugged in seems ok.

You are misunderstanding that immediate current draw by software usage was for the purpose of detecting unwanted programs being active. I accept that the power for software comes from the battery but the fact that charge is instantly replaced (within milliseconds) still makes me curious as to why there is no delay.

There must be no hysteresis between 100% and recharging, i.e., the red current draw light is instant, e.g., immediately I wake the phone the red light is on. I would have thought the battery would act as a buffer between usage and top up. If the current drawn from the USB is instant doesn't this mean is bypasses the battery?

My original battery says 2800mah.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] zpunout:
While on the topic of battery longevity, I use a $5 timer switch for the overnight 500mA slow phone charger. It is set to commence charging about 2 hours prior to when I usually get up in the mornings. The phone needs to be put into flight mode if I go to bed with less than 15% charge or else I'll risk it going flat during the night before the charger switches on. But that only matters for me because I need the alarm clock.

Does the screen go black, immediately after accepting the call? In that case the proximity sensor is defect.

Else i would try a clean installation without GApps and magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Tenaya43:
I’m really confused about the AT&T 3G shutdown as it relates to Galaxy S5 KLTE phones running LoS 18.1. If this is the wrong place to post this, I’ll happily move if someone can tell me a better place to ask this.

Background: We’re in the US and our carrier is Consumer Cellular (MVNO), using their AT&T network. CC also offers T-Mobile’s network, but we don’t use it. We have two more or less identical SM-G900T phones with TWRP, and LoS 18.1. Neither phone is rooted.

We anticipated the AT&T shutdown of 3G and, sure enough, both phones stopped making phone calls last Tuesday. When that happened, I poked around in the Preferred Network Type settings. The phones had been set to LTE Only. To my amazement and delight, I found that the phones WILL make calls with certain Network Types: TDSCDMA, CDMA, EVDO, and WCDMA or any combination of these. GSM Only and LTE Only won’t make calls.

When a phone call starts, the network symbol in the notification bar briefly changes from LTE to H, and then changes to H+. The symbol stays that way for the duration of the call, then changes back to LTE when the call ends. H means HSDPA and H+ means HSPA+, according to Wikipedia. Both are protocols used by (now shutdown) 3G.

My question is this: Since LoS 18.1 doesn’t/can’t support Samsung’s proprietary implementation of VoLTE, how can our Galaxy S5 phones make calls if the 3G network has been shut down? Maybe I don’t fully understand what 3G actually means and I clearly don’t know what it is AT&T actually shut down.

Can anyone shed light on this, or explain exactly what AT&T did and did not shut down?

Thanks in advance,

Tenaya
