Hello everyone. I followed the threads for klte since some years, but now I need help.

I finally found the time to upgrade from 17.1 to 18.1. I dirty flashed it and everything works fine.

There are only two thing I am not happy with and hopefully they are configurable:

At the bottom of the home screen ("dock"?) I placed my "favorite" apps, like messenger, browser, camera, contacts. When I press the "app switch button", (I don't know the offical name, the one left from the home button) in 17.1 I saw those apps and could directly start them. In 18.1 there is only a "screenshot" shortcut. Is it possible to get the "fav apps" back instead?

Also after pressing the app-switch-button, and see the opened apps, in 17.1 it was possible to swipe up from the bottom to open the app drawer. In 18.1 this doesn't work anymore. Is it possible to change this?

Thank you in advance for your help!

I just texted myself and I didn't see it either. From what I can dig up there was an issue with the feature and it hasn't been fixed yet.

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_packages_apps_Messaging/+/289372

I just swipe the notifications away and seemingly the only downside is a bunch of bolded conversations in the SMS app.

Didn't know that it's not possible to execute fastboot commands in download mode on Samsungs.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] smartypantsphone:
So I have 18.1 official installed with ogapps 11 on g900i, and it was done clean after a complete format etc..

I didn't get a chance to really set anything up ( system settings etc ) and only really installed about 5 apps, which I also haven't set up. And I have set up the sdcard and used a portion of it as internal and the rest as portable.

Now, if the next update of 18.1 is released, and I install over the current installation, is this considered "dirty", or, as I haven't really set much up, will it be the same as doing a clean install?

Or should I just format and start again since it wouldn't be a long process to get where I am now?

If I do format and do real clean install, would I have to set up the sdcard again?

Thanks!

Just flash TWRP instead (this link is for klte model specifically, please pay attention). I've never used Linage recovery, so I'm not sure if there's any benefits of using it. TWRP has an option to flash boot and recovery though (so if you really wanted to, you could flash it through TWRP afterwards).
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
And I don't know what benefit you expect from running lineageOS 17.1 with an 18.1 recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
Use the built in updater. Learn it, before you are too scary because of your large setup.

Can someone tell me about the different volume levels with this ROM, a critical point with the S5, e.g. WhatsApp voice messages. Are patches necessary or do you have to change values in certain files? I want to try this ROM on one of my two phones (G900F), at the moment the stock ROM (6.0.1) is still on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] smartypantsphone:
So by using the built in updater it is like a clean install and everything will not change ( external sdcard partitions etc ).

But anyway, after I set everything up properly, ofcourse I will update, but Im only asking now if I should just re-do a real clean install, because I haven't set anything up yet really.

Sorry, didn't understand the last part, not sure if it was a typo?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
Edited my post. Thank you. In our slang a clean install is flashing a ROM after wiping system and data. So you lose all your apps and settings. That's not what you want from a weekly ota update.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] NeuesS5:
I installed twrp with odin, which was great to install 18.1.

then set in lineageos that the recovery should also be updated, and after a few hours lineageos recovery was installed. I am happy
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
Oh your goal was not to run lineageOS 17.1 with an 18.1 recovery. Your goal was to upgrade to lineageOS 18.1

Please don't share your method as an upgrade procedure. The official procedure is in wiki.lineageos.org
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
You lost aosp email app. It is not included in 18.1 so make sure to have mail account settings at hand. I installed org.dystopia.email from f-droid
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
FFS that's your only comment on my big post lol.

I did not lose it because I did not use it. ;)

And you lost the screen recorder option in the stock Recorder app that now just records sounds but with added high quality & geotagging options. Edit: I stand corrected by @kurtn's post below!

That's for an other post as well as 18.1 annoyances IMO.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
You now have a screen recorder qs tile.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
Eh, you are right. I did see it but thought that it was from a third-party screen recording app that I installed: ScreenCam on F-Droid but also available in Play Store here.

Weird that screen recording is not in the U.I. of the LineageOS Recorder app.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] NeuesS5:
A guide would be good if man from

LineageOS 17.1 comes with LineageOS recovery 17.1

-> 18.1

would function (?):

boot into LineageOS recovery 17.1

format / system, / data, and / cache

For lineage recovery:

Format -> Format data / factory reset (this does / data and / cache)

Format -> Format system partition

Install LineageOS zip

If this is your initial installation of LineageOS 18.1, then flash any addons (e.g., gapps)

boot LineageOS

set in LineageOS that the recovery should be updated

???

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Garry58:
According to the changelog of the last build, there's a new option added to battery light: Turn off when fully charged. Except, it's not there. Interestingly enough, you can find it by searching for it, but it leads to the same battery light menu where it's missing.

I did a clean install of that build (full wipe of system and data with mindthegapps on top). So it shouldn't be just me. KLTE 900f btw

P.S. I guess you could achieve the same result by changing fully charged color to black (000000), but still find it interesting. Normally, when you search for something, it highlights the option, but not in this case, since it's not actually there.

Re: S5 klteduos LineageOS 18.1 - Open GApps Log

Thanks for the Open GApps log. :cool: 👍

If you wiped the System partition before flashing both LineageOS + Open GApps that's expected because that deletes GApps which is installed in the System partition as well as the Open GApps update survival script which is located in the /system/addon.d folder.

Your log says:

Current GApps Version | No GApps Installed

And in the bottom the Current Free Space is much bigger than Post Install Free Space and no Existing GApps were removed.

Compare this to the attached log which was made when I reinstalled Pico without wiping anything but with using a gapps-config file to remove GoogleTTS on LineageOS 17.1:

Current Open GApps Package | pico

Current Free Space | 1055920 | 1055920

Remove | Existing GApps | + 186600 | 1242520

...Post Install Free Space | 1065004

S5 LineageOS 18.1 Update 2021-12-19 - Android Security Bump

Using the built-in Updater I OTA updated S5 G900M LineageOS 18.1 klte build 2021-11-28 + MindTheGapps + Magisk 23.0 + TWRP 3.5.2_9-0 to build 2021-12-19: everything went smoothly as usual & GApps + Magisk survived the update.

There are quite 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 2021-12-05.

After the automatic reboot as seen in the screenshot > Settings > About phone > press on Android version > Android security update: December 5, 2021.

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 - December 2021 for details about the security fixes.

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

F-Droid Privileged Extension - Magisk Module & Battery Usage

In F-Droid app > Settings > is Privileged Extension checked (enabled)?

On my S5 G900M klte rooted with Magisk 23.0 I use the F-Droid Privileged Extension Magisk Module by ryaniskira (2021-07-21) and it works fine. Note: the Fdroid-Priv+9-27-2017-14.zip currently attached to the OP of that thread is obsolete.

You can search the module repo in the Magisk 23.0 app with F-Droid .

The online module repo as been removed from the newer Magisk app versions.

***

BTW the F-Droid app is visiting the mothership and waking up the device during deep-idle (Doze) as seen in BBS & GSam even if "Automatically install updates", "Automatic update interval" and "Show available updates" are disabled in it's settings so that's why I disable the F-Droid app with SD Maid > AppControl & enable it once in a while to check for updates (after refreshing the Updates panel) or to install some new apps. (a.k.a. Frozen as seen in the SD Maid screenshot)

On F-Droid App Manager - Android package manager also works fine to disable apps.

Hello. I have put LOS18 on my S5 and root was successful. No matter which file manager i use.. X-Plore, Root Explorer, ES File Explorer I cannot save changes to the edited .XML file after changing the values in to 118. The values won't change. I am also unable to copy the Mixers XML file into the system/etc/vendors folder. Any ideas? I can confirm i am fully rooted and root access was granted to all apps mentioned above.

After getting my (first) booster shot (of many to come?) I wanted to scan the EU Digital COVID certificate's QR code with the German CovPass app like before. But unlike the camera app it can no longer auto focus and won't recognize even that gargantuan QR.

Updated to the latest rom just for this purpose. If that happens to all CovPass users, this would be almost as severe as not being able to make calls anymore. Which is still possible due to 2G still being available, with 3G being gone now.

In my case i use the S5 mainly at home recently and exclusively from now.

CovPass QR Scan Issue

Are you talking about this app: CovPass by Robert Koch-Institut in Play Store?

If so there is a support email & website link in the bottom of that page.

Visiting that page on my computer it says "This app is not available for your device" and it does not appear in Play Store on my S5 G900M klte 18.1 with MindTheGapps.

Can't you get closer or further of the QR code to get it in focus? What happens if you stretch your arm and pass your hand in front of the camera? I do that sometimes with the stock Camera when it won't focus to reset it.

Can't you scan the QR code with Camera or an other QR scanning app like Lightning QR code reader : QR code scanner and Share it to CovPass?

***
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lecorbusier:
I could install the app w/o hassle in spring/summer, but have to check whether it's still getting updates. Maybe they raised the security requirements in the meantime. While the app seemed to run completely offline and independent in the beginning, e.g. it's now checking for rejected/forged certificates. The alternative comes from the same source(CovWarnApp), and features stuff like contact tracing, draining the battery and probably also not working.

I observed that this simple app already struggles with the S5's limited resources, the cam often operates at 1-2fps,but even when more fluent, there is no auto focus.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
German Coronawarnapp and covpass app are running perfectly on my S5 and many other old devices. They don't dain battery. And there are reproducible builds available on f-droid.

CWA/cctg can read qr codes from your photo gallery. Covpass can't.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] razor17:
Does this rom has VoLte support?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] x2k13:
No, because Samsung never made their proprietary VoLTE code public, making it impossible for custom ROMs to provide that feature.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] MK_i9300:
FYI: Same here with the newest CovPass App on klte (lineage-18.1-20211219-nightly-klte-signed.zip) and i9300 (14.1 self compiled), both lineage roms without any additions. Solution was in both cases to downgrade the app to de.rki.covpass.app-586.apk, Version 1.165.6 as shown in total commander.

Newer versions do sometimes not focus or the picture is freezing. QR code scanners like com.secuso.privacyFriendlyCodeScanner-21.apk work on both roms without a problem.

Note: I get my apps with raccoon from play store as apk.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Nobby1960:
Use the Corona Warn App (CWA) from RKI and you can scan your QR code easily. Android 10 is running on my S5 klte.

EDIT: Try an older CovPass App version 1.165.6 from here (Uptodown). It works fine and fast with autofocus. The current version is crappy on different Samsung phones.

Happy New Year to all of you, guys!

While awaiting a celebration, I decided to ask a question..:)

Has anyone tried to overclock our device? If yes, how is it going (battery, temperature, performance)?

Started to notice that the phone slows down on some "heavy" apps, such as maps, editors or even banking apps. I suppose it might be due to lack of memory. Can cpu overclocking cover it?

To free up memory I switched off everything I could. I'd like to de-google the device, but unfortunately I can't use it without gapps.

So what's your experience/opinion?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Concept48:
Hagger , we missed you for a while , but you are not forgotten , I want to thank you for all the work you did this year again , and I hope You will surprise us one of these day's again , Best Wishes for the New YEAR from Puck Channel48 .
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Boatshow:
I use some very basic tweaks and I've been happy with my device.

-Almost no gapps, just the swype keyboard blob

-CPU undervolt with SmartPack and the modded kernel I released here. But if you want something more professional Intelli-Kernel probably enables the same thing.

https://xdaforums.com/t/kernel-11-placebo-kernel-los-18-1-undervolting.4273705/

This made the phone run so much cooler that I could feel the difference with my hands. CPU throttles if it reaches 75C. With undervolt the CPU is so cool that it practically never hits 75C in normal use.

-SmartPack: changed zram target from ~400 MB to 704 MB. zram is a voodoo science but increasing the target slightly probably doesn't hurt.

-SmartPack: changed low memory killer to the low/light preset to discourage the OS from killing background apps while I'm multitasking

-Just installed twindragon6's adreno drivers, seems like free GPU performance no longer necessary

--------------

Some miscellaneous info you can use:

If you're bored LOS already has a built-in feature to make the CPU faster/slower (but not overclock it.)

Settings > Battery >Battery Saver and Performance > Performance Profile

Balanced profile is generally the best.

Quick actually does make the device faster/benchmarks higher at the cost of some battery. This profile is very usable for day-to-day, try switching to it when you want the phone to be slightly faster.

Performance is really bad. Single core workloads it can be faster than quick. For multiple cores it will run too hot and throttle, making it slower than quick. Plus it drains battery like crazy.

So with everything I mentioned in mind using overclocked CPU freqs has a chance of backfiring and making your phone slower.

If you only need push notifications replacing gapps with microg will probably save you CPU time. You will need to run a fork of LOS that has signature spoofing.

https://lineage.microg.org/

Also if your battery is aging just get a new one they're $10-$15.
