@alnevex

Good.

You have to be sure of your model number before flashing anything.

Enjoy.
[Galaxy S 5 General] calvin4242:
Hello djibe89,

As i can see, the LOS version you propose here "is taken" from this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/t/unofficial-lineageos-19-1-android-12l.4427639/

Have you implemented anything new to this version? Or is it completely the same?

You don't mention what is not working. But maybe everything is working well? So if it is the really same version as I said before, NFC is not working at all, not only on LOS 20 unofficial. Also there is very low light in front camera mode, so need to use another apk.
[Galaxy S 5 General] djibe89:
Thx.

I'll be more precise ans update tutorial ASAP.
[Galaxy S 5 General] djibe89:
Updated for Android 13
[Galaxy S 5 General] calvin4242:
Hello,

Thanks a lot for this update and all the work behind,

Everything is working fine on my G900F. Installed Gapps omni.

(didn't try NFC don't use it anymore for the moment).

no need to unlock bootloader.

Cons: I am not a fan of the large status bar icons).

Pros: 👍🤩

Help, I can't turn on mobile data, it appears without service but the imei was not deleted and the toolkit detects my sim, I am a user from Mexico who has this build on a sm-g900p, previously on android 11 what happened to me same but it let me select the networks for example wcdma or cdma etc since I don't support 4g here.

Edit: Forget it, I could, I just had to go back to Android 11 and put wcdma and go to recovery and delete everything except system or data. I forgot which of those two did not have to be deleted and flash Android 13 and it automatically grabs the SIM cards, For those of you who are from Latin America, this will work if your S5 is American.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Peter12205:
I wish there was Android 14 for this great device, the truth is that with Android 13 it runs very smoothly, better than when I used the official version of Android 11 and the kernel that comes by default does help a lot but, I wish there was a kernel with a little overclock since at least in the Facebook Lite videos they have a delay in both the Samsung stock room and any custom room and the only way to eliminate that delay was to increase the performance of the cores a little. But well, leaving that aside, I am grateful that there are still developers who are dedicated to reviving devices that can still do battle in 2024.
[Galaxy S 5 General] juandante:
Good luck to find a custom kernel for android 13 for this device. You are lucky that even there is a Android 13 for it. In fact, the only way for you to overclock it if you really need it will be for you to be the initial developper and build the custom kernel yourself. You would need a couple of this device because you will brick them, time and a lot of documentation.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Peter12205:
Well, good luck to me, I ended up finding the overclocked kernel and up to Android 14, in the same way you are right to find a kernel in the following versions of Android and Android 14 is probably the last thing I can see.
[Galaxy S 5 General] vojin1:
Amazing job! The rom is perfect and the animations are smooth as butter. Thank you!
[Galaxy S 5 General] JazonX:
Thanks a lot for this tutorial!

Any complications in using this phone in 2024 - apart from the lack of 5G ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] djibe89:
Don't think so. go ahead and tell us
[Galaxy S 5 General] vojin1:
Root the phone, overclock it and add an sd card because 16 gb is not a lot in 2024. Android 13 is working fine on the phone, but after testing it for a couple of days, it will be sluggish at some point (low ram issue). I recommend to install Android 10 roms that will be excellent on the phone. 😀
[Google Pixel 6] Glitchedz:
I was trying to rootkit it, but on the last step I got locked in to a fastboot-loop, I eventually got out of it and was able to "install through ADB" through the OTA Oriole software.

Trying to rootkit it again, I messed up and got stuck on the same loop, but when I try to "install through ADB" the OTA file loads up 50% and I get the error "Current SPL 2021-11-05 Target SPL: 2021-10-05 this is considered a downgrade.

Denying SPL because it's SPL downgrade" and it aborts the installation.

Now whenever I try to boot, I get a "your phone is corrupted" message, I press power to continue, I get a message "your phone security is compromised" in orange, than I press power and it hangs on the Google logo on a white screen.

I can still get in to fastboot and all the options.

No idea what to try next.

If I took it to where I bought it, would they send it off to Google and they can fix it? Or do I have a brand new $1150 paperweight?

Thanks for any help.....

fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img

vbmeta needs to be flashed like this when u are going to want to root. If u already installed the ota there is a thread with the November vbmeta. I think it was on the 6 Pro forums.
[Google Pixel 6] Glitchedz:
Where do I run this from, recovery mode? Do I need any new files?
[Google Pixel 6] sille:
In fastboot. As I said. Depends what version you are on. The Oct vbmeta is in the firmware files on the Google image webpage. The November one Is in the 6 pro forums
[Google Pixel 6] Glitchedz:
Sorry, I'm new to this. Do you mean that just have fastboot open on my phone, and type that command into cmd? And where do I put the vbmeta files? Do you have a link to the vbmeta files? I can't find any.

Really really appreciate any help, would love to save the phone.....
[Google Pixel 6] Princip_Loskuta:
Normally you can find the file vbmeta.img inside the "full stock ROM" archive for your phone.

Most root-tutorials (except of Magisk-Homepage) for Pixel 6A doesn't even show anything about vbmeta-stuff.
[Google Pixel 6] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
That is because, to the best of my knowledge, you no longer need to touch vbmeta in order to root.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Torije:
Hello there, I would like to know if there is any chance to completely disable the indicators showing that Cam / Mic are used by application (the access dots that came with 'extra security' ), or just a way to white-list desired application, so it's not triggered.

I don't like getting those notifications because they are just annoying, if I wanted to know what application had access to those functions, I'd just check it in the settings. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
I would guess they are secured so that malware cannot disable them in the background.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] riso123:
Hi Everyone,

I have been on a rooted Android 10 build for the past 2 years, but found the battery was starting to drain quickly, so decided to upgrade to the latest version 11.

I have rooted phones many times, however im a bit stummped.

Initially when i rooted by flashing with Odin, my patched AP file, it would boot loop the start screen, however today i have got further and it boots to "android starting", but after 3 hours it hasnt moved from that point. I cant imagine this is normal\expected? I have tried to reflash a few times and wiped\factory reset before hand, using the main CSC instead of home_csc, but still the same result.

Any ideas? Am i missing something?

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] riso123:
If anyone wants to reply with a potential fix for others, then please do, however for now i have managed to obtain root using a method someone else did on XDA.

Basically, i managed to install and run TWRP, then flashed a kernel in that. Now have an up to date phone with root.

Thanks for anyone who looks at this however.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mispam23:
Hi all,

since some weeks I've been facing an issue with my galaxy s7 edge.

I was using Floyd Rom (last version) for many months working great. Suddenly, the phone got freezed and rebooted. Since then, it's happening with my daily use very often.

It is like this: I'm using the phone with email, or checking something in browser (or with any other app) and then:

1. It gets freezed and unresponsive

and then

2. Temperature starts to increase until I reboot the phone

I've tried several roms with the same result: Floyd, Lineage, DotOS, Pixel Experience, etc...

However, and even without installing any rom, it happens the same.

Tried formatting as well with TWRP, and still the same.

Last week I tried installing the last version from the STOCK rom (android 8.0) of samsung from the official website with ODIN. The result is the same. It freezes and then raises temperature/reboots.

I'm starting to think this is a hardware issue, but before I'd like to share it here to see if anyone has any other idea before throwing my beloved S7 edge to the bin...

Any idea is very welcome.

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] windows4droid:
The problem is in the hardware. The device must be checked to determine the problem
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mispam23:
thank you for your answer.

Is there any app that tests/diagnoses the hardware?

I doubt if it worths to take it to tech service. It's a 4-5 year old phone...

[Google Pixel 6] draexo:
Anyone have any luck with getting a tempered glass screen protector that works with the fingerprint scanner?

I have read several threads about this. Some suggest adding same finger twice. Some suggest increasing sensitivity of the screen, and others suggest making sure you are up to date. None of this has worked for me. It is double disappointing for me as I have large thumbs and never could seem to get a thumb unlock to work until the 6. Once I added the screen protector, the phone can not recognize the finger print, even though I added it several times.

I purchased this one https://www.amazon.com/Milomdoi-Goo...9Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

It claims to work with finger print scanner. I followed their instructions, but no luck so far.
[Google Pixel 6] draexo:
I have noticed that some manufacturers are adding "does not support finger print scanner" to their listings now.

This one claims to work with finger print scanner, but it is not tempered glass: https://www.amazon.com/ArmorSuit-Mi...J,B09FF4R924,B095MDT35P&srpt=SCREEN_PROTECTOR

I bought the same one, its too thick for sure. I picked up the one linked below (unfortunately out of stock now) and you could tell it was thinner and I been able to make the finger print scanner work but registering my thumb multiple times.

I always put Brotect screen protectors on my devices so I'm confident that one will work with the fp scanner no problem.

[Google Pixel 6] Att.Fan1982:
I just ordered the privacy version of this screen protector and can tell you that the fingerprint doesn't read. I'm not sure if it the screen protector itself or the tinted privacy aspect of it.
[Google Pixel 6] derausgewanderte:
wow, just got mine dropped off at my front porch. 12.99 to 16.99. and it was temporarily out of stock and now ships in two to three weeks.

edit: just replaced my previous one with this. Quite a bit better (but only paid $6 for three of the other one - no complaints). The camera hole is not too small as previous one and it covers just a tiny bit more of the sides of the screen and definitely more of the top and bottom. Works better with gestures.

Oleophobic coating is better than the cheaper ones I used. Feels great. A lot less smudging and fingerprints on this one.

Fingerprint works the same still. Guess it's the same thickness as the one I just trained.

Overall I can recommend this one.

The one I don't recommend is called

apiker 3 Pack

One funny part is that label when I unpacked the LϟK one.

Just saw this, Google updated their support page, listing approved screen protector manufacturers.

Google lists screen protectors 'certified' to work with Pixel 6 and 7 fingerprint sensor

Google has a list of certified brands that make screen protectors for Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7, and 7 Pro's under-display fingerprint sensor...

9to5google.com

These are:

Otterbox

Panzerglass

Zagg

Reading many threads, it appeared Zagg was the one to go for, so this backs that up.

From my experience, I have tried Olixar, which did not work at all. It even had problems reading the fingerprint during training.

I've currently got a Spigen align master.

After hours of training last night, it kinda works but not reliably. Initially I had no consistent luck and was going to give up but I followed the advice to moisturise my digits and this made a huge difference to the training.

I have to place my thumb at a very specific angle and pitch, when I get this right, it's almost 100%.

You should be able to grab your phone and plant your thumb down from any angle, so this is less than ideal.

Will keep this Spigen on for now until the above protectors come in stock .
[Google Pixel 6] MrN1484:
Fwiw I bought the Brotect matt finish protectors and can confirm the fingerprint absolutely does not work.
[Google Pixel 6] li0nh3art3d1:
I had one included with a case for my note 20 that actually worked. In the light the glass had small dots all over that could only be seen at an angle. Unfortunately I dropped it and it broke and the next one I ordered (same listing on amazon) did not work, however I do know they must exist because I've seen one before that did indeed work.

I will not recommend the one I had because the latest one they sent me didn't work 😔
[Google Pixel 6] derausgewanderte:
update, getting colder and air is getting drier here. I can feel my hands are dry. And the FP scanner is now almost unusable with the L K Pixel 6 "compatible" protector. I have to lick my thumb to get it to work. As long as it is moist it works great. As soon as my fingers are dry again, it stops and works maybe 2 out of 10 times.
[Google Pixel 6] i n f a m o u s:
I'm currently using this one and I can honestly say that I don't have any issues with screen sensitivity or the finger printer not working. I didn't have to update the firmware or even turn on screen sensitivity for it to work. This kit includes 3 screen protectors and 2 rear camera protectors as well.

I've used it in the past with other smartphones and they're actually not that bad. They get the job done at an affordable price.

Also, when I first registered my finger prints, I did so with the screen protector. If you guys are having issues with the prints not reading correctly after installing this, then try deleting them and redoing it after installing the screen protector.
[Google Pixel 6] Bwangster12:
How is the front facing camera after this is installed. Some of the reviews state that the opening for the front facing camera is really small and causes some glare or something.

I'd go for that but not at $50 (BB). And it's out of stock on their website, so no deals available. That's a total ripoff for a piece of glass that they make for 10 cents.

[Google Pixel 6] KindofBlues71:
I bought the ivoler glass screen protector/back camera bar protector off Amazon when I bought my Pixel 6, before the reports of fingerprint scanner issues. It had 4 stars when I bought it, now has 2.5 due to reports that it doesn't work with the fingerprint scanner.

I debated whether to install it or return it, and decided to install it yesterday morning. I deleted and re-added four fingerprints and it does work, even without the "Increase Touch Sensitivity" setting enabled. There are some times that it cannot read my fingerprints but I'd say 95% of the time it works without issue. I enabled the touch sensitivity setting this morning and tried a few apps setup with fingerprint login and I got an Invalid message several times. Disabling the setting works better with this screenprotector IMO.

One caveat - the kit comes with a plastic frame to make applying the screen protector easy but I found that it doesn't line up correctly. The cutout for the front selfie camera is slightly off-center but it doesn't affect the camera at all. It's just an annoyance at this point.

I just tried this. While it works well, I think it's a little too narrow. If you look at bright colored screens from an angle, the edges of the screen protector reflect through and it's annoying.
[Google Pixel 6] harryw66:
I used OMOTRON for other devices - but they were not available in the UK for the P6 when I looked.

I had tried the AmFilm SPs after they were recomended elsewhere - but they did not work well for me - only 50% hit rate.

I then read recommendations for WFTE Screen protectors here in the UK - which I ordered and received earlier today.

Seems to be working fine, I replaced the AmFilm one with the WFTE and the FP now worked 18 out of the 20 attempts I tried so far - even if position the thumb in different ways e.g. lower part / upper part.
