[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Zytrel:
The 20/6 release has been running fine here concerning the SD-Card. Although there was one little issue remaining in regards of it being a bit pickier. For example an SD-Card which had been broken by a previous (faulty) release of 18.1 was perfectly readable again after a repair via a Windows host by 17.1 and TWRP, but not with the 20/6 18.1 release. Only way around this was a reformat, but since then the SD didn't show any more issues.

Regards,

zytrel.

I noticed media players opening controls on notification area randomly after blutooth hiccups.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Not-Aus:
Yes, me too! But on another device.

I asked myself what I was doing, but now, as you wrote this, I understand, where it is from.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Vini69:
I have always used 2 sims and I never had any particular issue, calls and audio are routed properly on LOS 18.1

I used to have slot1 GSM and slot2 4G, but recently changed provider so now with slot1 4G and slot2 GSM, both configurations with no issues.

Overall very stable build, snappy interface, much more stable BT than previous versions... just light on ram so background apps tend to get killed a little bit too easily and too often.

G900V running build 20210620

I have been running this ROM since last night testing it out. I've been having random reboots, and sudden power offs without notice. I had my phone plugged into the charger for sometime this morning, and I went to turn the screen on, and the phone was dead. I did a battery pull, and powered on the phone battery is at 74% charged. Also sometimes my screen just goes black, but captive buttons are working. Have to battery pull ,and restart to use phone. Can I change the system font in LOS 18.1?

This is otherwise a fairly fast rom with little lag.

I have none of these issues running LOS 7.1.2 Nougat. Other than phone call disconnects at random and loud beeping BEEP BEEP BEEP dial tone call ended. 7.1.2 rom has no other issues other than kind of laggy.

I was wrong (again) it was turning on the fingerprint reader that caused the problem. My bad.

Is there any chance that the kccat6 will

be added?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] x2k13:
@haggertk when trying to open the camera from lock screen (double press Power), the camera opens, but a toast claiming "Connection to camera failed" appears for no reason because the camera is literally working. There's no other way to get rid of the toast by clicking "OK", but then the camera closes again.

Any Idea how to fix this? It's quite annoying because that way, quick snapshots are impossible.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] JeyC79:
Hi!

I installed LO 18.1 Last week.

Since, it's impossible to use Nova Launcher, it crash, refuses to start. Even with a reset and a strat with default setting.

I clear DATA and cache, same problem.

Please, do you have any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] x2k13:
Version 6.x or 7.x beta?

Beta runs just fine on my G900F
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
No because it has a different chipset, CPU & GPU compared to the klte family which is the topic of this thread so it requires different proprietary blobs & it's own specific ROM.

See this specs comparison Galaxy S5 Plus vs. Galaxy S5 on gsmarena.

Try asking in this thread: [APP][4.0+] Nova Launcher

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] wuko:
I use klte with LOS 18.1 and kccat6 with

LOS 16.0.

IMHO the kccat6 has a better "performance".

Why not starting a new kccat6 " project"

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] x2k13:
Does anyone of you guys have an idea how to change the locale/language setting of the secure start input screen? I mean the screen that appears right after the boot loader screen (Warranty Bit: Kernel/Recovery - Samsung Galaxy S5).

I've noticed it's always in english, despite having set another language for the whole system.

On my Galaxy S4 it uses the system's locale for both, Galaxy S5 doesn't. Not a showstopper, just would like to know where to look for that.

What's your thoughts about this?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
It's the bootloader. Maybe you should install one that is taken from a samsung firmware for your country
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] x2k13:
Interesting. Both the S4 and S5 are from the same country with the same locale.

Might be something different involved in addition?

Edit:

I'm confused. When looking up the firmware I have on my phone, sammobile claims it's an UK firmware (BTU), which is odd, because it was bought in Germany. Hm. I downloaded "G900FXXU1CRA2_G900FDBT1CRB1_G900FXXU1CQK3_HOME.tar.md5", which apparently is the latest german 6.0.1 update from 2018. I'll try that, maybe an update of bootloader and modem isn't such a bad idea to begin with.

Edit2:

Okay, flashed both BL and CP (Bootloader and Modem) of the latest german firmware, same thing. The secure start to-start-android-enter-your-pin screen is still in english. So obviously it isn't the bootloader alone thats doing this. At least I'm on par with the last release now, which is nice. :)

Any more ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] franczesko:
Hello. Can I use this ROM (maybe biuld klte) for SM-G901F ?

No.

See the posts above yours here and here.

Ok, I will look how to install the beta.

Thanks

Magisk has not survived any of my updates. I saw someone who said it does survive his updates. Would be great to be spared all the hazzle of installing Magisk manually upon each update. Could anyone advice me how to do that?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
Try twrp and installation by flashing the apk and not encryping internal storage.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jenssa:
Ok? The first part sounds a lot like what I've been doing. Isn't that to reinstall Magisk? The second part was beyond my skills. How do I encrypt / not encrypt the internal storage. I wasn't aware that I have done any such thing. Sorry that I'm so slow (must be age- related).
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jenssa:
M

Mysteriously - and fortunately, Magisk survived the last update without any intervention on my part.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] rootkitty:
I have been on LoS 16 and it has been really great (thanks to devs!), but it appears that it has now reached EoL and no longer receiving security updates. My S5 is my only phone, so Reliability, Security and Privacy are much more important than the latest features.

Is LoS 18.1 ready for use as a daily driver, or would I be better to move to LoS 17.1?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] x2k13:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but 17.1 is EOL as well on klte, so 18.1 is the one you want.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] rootkitty:
I believe you are right... I found that out after I made the original post.

BTW does anyone know how log Google actually puts out security updates for a release? Does the support stop because of Google, or is it because the Devs want to move on to the latest and greatest?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] dcarvil:
Releases for Google Pixel devices stop as soon as a new Android version is available. For example, the last Android 10 release for Pixel 3 was August 2020. The September 2020 release was Android 11.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Boatshow:
@rootkitty I updated from 16 -> 18.1 and daily drove it for a few months, absolutely recommend backing up and updating. I did not need to wipe. You may run into a bug where your lock screen does not unlock (fix it here). If you used this fix and use a different encryption passhrase you probably need these instructions to change the passphrase back:

Fire up the terminal and do this:

su
vdc cryptfs changepw TYPEOFNEWPASSWORD OLDPASSWORD NEWPASSWORD

where TYPEOFNEWPASSWORD can be any of password, pin, pattern (if you use a pattern, match the position of the dots with corresponding numbers on keypad to obtain a numeric string)

You might also need to copy data off your sd card, let the phone format it and copy the data back for some reason.

18.1 has huge improvements in bluetooth stability. In 16 it could hang and never recover. Privacy Guard is gone but Android provides somewhat similar functionality now. Nothing from that older version anyone would miss.

Edit: Just remembered, updating reset most of my default sounds like alarm, ringtone etc. Very annoying but easy to fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] x2k13:
FYI: https://opengapps.org/ has officially realeased OpenGApps for 11, ATM pico and nano. No need for microG or MindTheGApps anymore, they added Android Auto (Stub) as well, no problem to update it via Play Store (source: myself - tested successfully).

Screenshot via imgur
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
Don't confuse microG and openGApps micro (or nano or pico)! The first one is completely open source, the second one is an installer for proprietary Google spyware.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] x2k13:
Right, but microG never worked flawlessly on klte/11, at least on my end. Too many bugs for my taste. OpenGApps do. And if you don't like it, don"t install it. Simple. 🙂
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] zimral.xda:
Both of you are right. I used the Open GApps "pico" flavour since some years and it worked without any problem. Last year i managed to be able to get rid of the google spyware. The delay of the open GApps helped me a little bit. But now i miss nothing. There is still one single app i like to use but this is not a showstopper at the end. I dont pay with my phone , i still use old school credit cards. I dont use "android auto" as i have a clarion mediacenter in my car. And i dont use "Banking Apps" just a TAN generator, i do the online banking at my desk at home, there is no need for me to do money transfer in a bar or the subway. There may still a few google traces in the pure LOS rom (example: DNS servers) but i am working on a solution for that.

THX to all maintainers!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Not-Aus:
What do you exactly mean with "spyware"? I know, you don't mean it in the way as we all know spaware.

But can you share your knowledge and some words about what to do against that?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
Spyware - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I admit, Google is the company, where you get most value for data. But if you don't like that deal, you can avoid GApps and/or use ad blockers.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] sinkoo1979:
How do you get 5 hours SOT?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Not-Aus:
Okay, that is not the kind of answer I was hoping to get... never mind.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] zimral.xda:
In 2021 or maybe earlier "Spyware" is a common term for google applications. "If something is for free, YOU and YOUR data is the payment!" If software/application/etc is tracking me, i name it spyware. And what can we do againts that? Easy: Dont use google applications and use tools like "NetGuard" to keep any eye on the packets your phone is sending.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] x2k13:
At home, use Pi-hole. Easy to maintain and really effective when it comes to blocking all of those ad and tracking servers.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] zimral.xda:
I know. i am using PI-Hole since years now, i run it on 2 small headless boxes (PC-Engines APU). i dont like the PI plastic toys :cool:

I am getting an error in the play store that I don't have enough space to install anything.

I am doing a clean install of the latest lineage OS 18.1 and I tried both open Gapps nano and pico.

I was getting the same trouble with mindtheGapps. I was hoping that the official release of open Gapps 11 would be my solution.

What am I missing? Is this why everyone is talking about ditching spyware google?

Thank you everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
What kind of clean install? Wiping system and data in twrp? That doesn't remove all your downloads and videos that probably fill the internal memory.

Do a factory reset.

..or wait: do you enter an old Google account in setup wizard? Does Google try to push all the apps and data from that account to your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Franceschiello:
I try to flash this rom. Now I have a stock rom.

When I try to flash I read that I don't have vendor partition.

I searched everywhere but I didn't found how I can do. Can someone help me?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] offspect:
I am using twrp and I am doing an advanced wipe where I select each checkbox. I don't have an sdcard loaded and I copy all my picutres to a PC beforehand.

I am entering my google credentials during initial setup. It does appear to grab a few updates during that but I don't have any backups reloading.

I am actually even using a new google account.

Previously I did try a factory reset and it did let me install one app but then trying for another one gave me the out of space error again. That was a few weeks ago with my old google account.

I tried deleting cache of all the preloaded apps.

Is anyone else having trouble like this?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
So combine the good parts in one last try. Factory reset and new Google account
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] sinkoo1979:
No vendor needed. In TWRP format data first. reboot to TWRP wipe system, data, dalvik and cache

afterwards move rom, gapps / microg and magisk (optional). Flash rom, gapps / microg and magisk (optional) and reboot
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
Or @Franceschiello just follows the guide in wiki.lineageos.org
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] zimral.xda:
Yesterday i played a little bit with one of my Test-S5's (european klte).

1.) Updated TWRP to latest version (3.5.2_9.0)

2.) copied actual LOS ROM and the new A11 open-gapps to the sd-card

3.) Enter recovery and started a socalled "dirty-flash" as i did with LOS 17.1 severals times before.

Ended up in a boot-loop (my first boot-loop ever! :-) )

4.) enter recovery again and did a clean install (wiping system/data and cashes*)

5.) perfect, ALL GOOD!

I alway recommend the lineage wiki/install guides to beginners: "Fowllow this, word for word" and i had no complains.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Nobby1960:
Does anyone know whether this ROM supports all functions of the German Corona warning app, including the Bluetooth peripheral mode? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] x2k13:
Yes, it does. No problems when using OpenGApps. If you don't want OpenGApps, you need to use the Corona Contact Tracing Germany app from F-Droid which includes some code from microG to enable exposure notifications.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] x2k13:
Not sure if it's really related to the last update (lineage-18.1-20210718-nightly-klte-signed.zip), but after upgrading, the adopted storage sd-card was claimed as missing after unlocking the phone.

Going to storage settings, a check was in progress, after that was done it seemed to be good. But then all of a sudden, phone rebooted, loading animation started to flicker and after the next unlock, the sd-card was displayed as 'damaged'. It never came back and I lost everything (well, not all of it because luckily I had a backup from yesterday) on the card due to corruption.

I had to reformat it on my PC because it couldn't be formatted by the phone anymore.

D'oh!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
I recommend to use SD card as portable storage.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] x2k13:
Did so this time.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Lordicus21:
Perfect, frawless and smooth BUT, the camera. Crashes when switching between flash on video, or on other random moments, forcing reboot to work again. Not mention the lack of slow motion recording... You guys are the masters of coding, will it be fixed one day?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] x2k13:
Anyway, prior to the last update I had no problems with adopted storage. So this sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
Can you give a procedure for reproducing that crash?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] chillipig:
Yes. I finally decided it was time to go from 16 to 18.1 and this is exactly whats happening to me with both openGapps and mindtheGapps on my Kliteduos. Play app clearly shows loads of room but aborts any downloads with the insufficient space error. I have two of these and so was doing a clean install on the second phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Lordicus21:
open lineage camera > video mode > turn flash on and off sometimes

Hi all

Flashed this ROM to my klte yesterday. Clean flashed lineage-18.1-20210711-nightly-klte-signed and found that i got a huge battery drain. 100% to 0 in 4 hours.

have just (dirty) flashed lineage-18.1-20210718-nightly-klte-signed to see if that makes any difference.

GSAM reports nfc as using a huge amount of the battery. 62.5%.

Anybody experiences this?

PS. Rooted and running open gapps without issues

Thanks

============

UPDATE

lineage-18.1-20210718-nightly-klte-signed drained battery from 70% to 17% in 5 hours. Phone wasnt being used.

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mefairo:
Moved my g900f from 16 to 18.1, clean flashed with gapps ...

Phone is really fast and flawless and liked how fast it and dont have any issue at daily use...

But, what i realized its not fast charging anymore and battery drain problem... At LOS 16 i got 4-5 hours SOT and with 18.1 its max 2.30h... of cource i like how fast the rom is but it would be better if fast charging worked for me...

yes i tried 3 other cables and chargers it doesnt matter :)

your work is amazing thak you, i really like my s5 and also have my note8pro but s5 is always my best because i like its music sound quality with headphone ...

if someone has fast charging issue like me and has a solution please let me know :)

ps: at Los 16 at screen charging rapidly is written and it took max 1 hours to charge now at 18.1 it says only charging and it takes 3-4 hours to charge ...

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] reyanshzuber:
thanks for the rom!

does anyone has issues with recorder and record screen? microphone is not working
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] chillipig:
After a day of trial and error I'm stumped! Wiped everything, used openGapps pico and mindthe Gapps, with and without Magisk, sideloaded the latest play store version, installed 17.1 and it installs updates fine then dirty flashed 18.1 which bootloops. I even got it to install 3 apps from the play store then it suddenly says insufficient space (similar to what offspect got) although it point blank refuses to do any updates on preinstalled apps from the start. The Play store shows space available but then decides there isn't any on installs. If anyone has resolved this I'd appreciate your info. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
There Trick is to always have the correct GApps installed before bootin a clean installed or upgraded system. Android version and bittage has to match.

P.S.: noGApps is best choice
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Boatshow:
I haven't noticed any battery issues and I don't have gapps installed altogether.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] cylgalad:
I had the same issue, renaming locksettings.db solved it, but I had a very hard time getting the phone to reboot to recovery (my fingers hurt!).

Maybe allowing rebooting to recovery from the lockscreen would be a nice idea.

On a side note, on los 17, I could unlock after a while, when notifications start to show up.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] blikkk:
Is there a forced close?

Drivedroid working?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] x2k13:
Hu, so there's no way to use sd-cards as storage expansion anymore when reformatting? Dirty-flashed to 18.1 and sd-card is still available...hmmm.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] io2345:
Can you guide me how to dirty flash - I already have LOS17 installed and don't want to reinstall all apps...

Official kltedv build for my g900i is awesome. Decided to do a clean install and no problems at all, (twrp v3.3.1 and no gapps)

As with the unofficial build, this is the better rom for my device. Stable, great battery performance, responsive and its got a great feel to it. I simply cant fault it.

After too many years testing roms I think I'll take some time to enjoy this beauty.

Thanks @haggertk and team.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Garry58:
I have an old battery, but I think I'm getting better battery life on 18.1. I'm not sure if it's actually the case or it just feels like it. I wonder if it's just me.

I did dirty flash with mindthegapps on top of it. It wasn't very smooth at first, but after a few minutes it became as responsive as it was on 17.1 (i'm guessing the phone was finalizing upgrade process in the background or something like that).

Also, had very minor issue, pressing the recent button and closing all apps was bringing me to Trebuchet no matter what. Solved by resetting defaults of my launcher and setting it as default again.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] uyguremre:
Thanks a lot @haggertk for the upgrade!

(Call Forwarding - Call Settings Error - invalid MMI code) https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/2892 this issue still continues on 18.1 and it seems this is not specific to this device. Is there anything you can do to get this issue assigned to the right person?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Tenaya43:
alansworld2010,

I appreciate your quick reply, but I'm not sure I fully understand. I'll have to ponder your suggestion to reflash the 6.01 files.

In the meantime, I think I'll start by wiping with TWRP again, then reinstalling with ODIN. Hopefully I'll get different (i.e. better) results. I will probably also try switching to MindTheGapps.

FYI, I'm using TWRP 3.5.1_9-0-klte and I start "clean" installs by having TWRP wipe: Davik/ART Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage and Cache. After the wipe, I install LoS and then boot into it. I go through the LoS start up, then power down, boot into TWRP, install Gapps and reboot into LoS.

Once I understood the various steps and chose the appropriate files, I successfully (mostly) installed LoS/Gapps on three SM-G900T phones. None of those installs and none of the phones had the problems I'm describing.

Tenaya

PS: I'm not going to miss TOUCHWIZ one tiny bit - - LoS is faster and better.
