Upgraded from official LOS 18.1 to this one. It is working smoother and I think the battery drain is less than before. Good work!

Unfortunately there is an issue with the touch id. I don't know what it is, but something changed between LOS 18.1 and 20. Screen unlock and flatex secure (stock exchange) is working like before with my stored fingerprints, but our local governance app ("Digitales Amt") stops working because of no biometrics found error.

Another governance app "A-Trust Signatur" is also not recognizing the stored fingerprints.

Any ideas on that?

My device is a klte. Install after a full wipe, nothing restored from backup, everything new from playstore.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] thetechfromheaven:
Same problem here with biometrics, it let me setup fingerprints at the start on the setup wizard but if I go to settings and try to register a new one It won't let, it also goes into a softloop every time you disable or enable biometrics. I'm too lazy to look up what's the issue since this is a phone I just want to use as a CCTV camera, but It would be cute if it ever gets fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] 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.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DarkSteve:
It's bizarrely unpredictable.

I have a klte and a kltedv. My kltedv is currently loaded with apps and is my daily driver. I took it off charge Friday morning, and it was hitting 50% battery by Sunday night! Two and a half days later!

Yet my klte test phone, with a clean install and no apps, will be giving the 20% battery warning bleep after 6 hours. But if I reinstall it will be fine. Next install won't be. It's really weird and I have no clue what causes the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DarkSteve:
Me too!

Speaking of battling on in 2024, how many people here live in countries that have turned off their 3G networks?

Will my klte or kltedv still work when 3G is switched off in Australia later this year? The S5 is usually named as a phone that will stop working, but will it keep working if I'm running a current OS (LOS20)? Or is it a hardware limitation?

My girlfriend's Galaxy Note5 (running stock Android 7) stopped working when Vodafone switched off 3G on the 1st of Jan, but I have until September. My phone shows it uses 4G when available, but apparently that doesn't guarantee anything. And I understand VoLTE isn't available on the klte family.

When I asked in the LineageOS subreddit, the answer was "it depends". What are other people's experiences running Khalvat's LOS20 without a 3G network?

(To be clear, I tried putting my girlfriend's sim in my phone to test it, but the Note5's micro sim was too small for the S5's slot, and I don't have an adapter, dammit.)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
In germany 3G is switched off, but we still have 2G. So we have phone calls on Samsung phones. The problem in Australia: Both 2G and 3G will be gone. You will still have mobile data and calls over messenger apps. But no classical telephony or sms.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DarkSteve:
Yeah, we lost 2G in 2017.

I was wondering how other countries still maintained voice without 3G. I assumed 2G was gone everywhere a while ago, that actually clears things up a bit for me.

Thanks for that!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Peter12205:
here in Mexico we still have 2g and 3g in telcel and movistar 3g and altan only has the 4g LTE antenna active

I also have that problem that my galaxy s5 sprint is limited to 3g, apparently once it is unlocked the cell phone cannot capture 4g, the truth is that from there on out everything is nice

Hello everybody,

after upgrade from lineage-20.0-20230623-UNOFFICIAL-klte to lineage-20.0-20231104-UNOFFICIAL-klte wireless charging via the Samsung S-View Cover always stops at around 14-18%.

Every time when lifting the device for a few moments and then putting it back on the charger tray it will charge another 2%.

It was a super clean installation because I could not boot into twrp recovery any more and had to flash stock ROM via Odin first before starting from scratch.

Charging via cable is working normally.

Wireless charging used to work very well with all the previous ROMs.

Any idea how to solve this problem?

Otherwise this latest build runs very well, no battery drain in standby which is a big improvement over the previous build.

Many thanks to khalvat!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Demirag:
I'm curious about if anyone has faced a system ui issue with this rom. I've installed this rom twice (with gapps and without gapps) and no changes. (Both are clean flash, coming from 6.0.1 firmware)

While I am using device normally, it reboots instantly for once and black screen occurs due to system ui I think. (Status bar is seen) I can't even shut down the mobile without removing battery.

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] bmwdroid:
If it was mine I'd flash latest stock and test it a while to exclude that it's hardware related.

What's the battery state and condition like when that happens?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Peter12205:
That at least happened to me on Android 11 with the official lineage that then restarted and went black, so I switched to the Khalva compilation and well I guess it's a gapps bug since I used the gapps omni on Android 13 and it was pulling Well right now I'm on Android 14 and it's even more stable than Android 13 and 11. I recommend using the tuned kernel that I left in the Android 14 post since I went back to Android 11 for stability and with that it solved the bug because when the processor His cell phone was saturated, what you mentioned happened to him. the same and your memory emmc is also already giving its last. greetings

https://github.com/BiTGApps/BiTGApps-Release/releases/download/v2.7/BiTGApps-arm-11.0.0-v2.7-OMNI.zip

I leave you the link of the gapps that I used, to see if it fixes your error, maybe the battery is already very worn out and that is why this happened on your galaxy s5
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Demirag:
Ok, so I've also faced with instant reboot with stock rom but it is probably related to battery since battery level was 56% and went to 1%.

The same thing happened in this rom, however, something strange also happened which I did not mentioned about.

(Lineage, without gapps) In normal usage, mobile instantly reboots for once (but it's not a complete reboot, no Samsung logo is shown and you see lineage boot screen directly) and after that, boom, black screen with status bar if you are lucky to see it. The reason "something strange" is that battery seems normal this time, no drastically changes on battery level.

I'm thinking about battery replacement but also getting a new mobile. Maybe S5 needs retirement for eternity after 10 years
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Peter12205:
brother, maybe you changed your battery and it is not original and it is super Chinese and that is why it is giving you problems, anyway I would humbly sell that S5 in case the emmc memory is because for example you spend on the battery and it is not resolved since Well, my second-hand American S5 (sm-g900p) that I got on the Mexican free market, has a generic battery and is very inflated and as I told you, the same thing happened to me but only on Android 11 without that kernel, I will give you the kernel that I used and the compilation and hopefully yes, greetings from Mexico. Also and you are using the old version of twrp since on an S8+ with Android 13 it had incompatibilities and too many bugs due to having it outdated and by updating it I can now use it as usual.

Sorry. Before replying bmwdroid, I did not see your answer. I'm gonna test with the kernel you mentioned. I've original battery and replace it. If anything changed, I'll be back. Thank you both
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Demirag:
original battery + tuned kernel did not work but i'll flash a14 and tuned kernel and try again
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Demirag:
It's me again. I flashed both Android 14 and Tuned kernel now, using original battery. I don't know what will my mobile react if I install Gapps, but without Gapps IT WORKS PERFECTLY. I never expected Android 14 is more stable than Android 13. Thank you very much!!!! Also, greetings from Greece.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DarkSteve:
I've had similar issues with my kltedv. I'm still running the build from December 2022, as all the others are unstable for me and I get random reboots. But my klte is fine, no issues with reboots.

One extra thing to check - make sure you phone matches your ROM. Are you using a klte phone? Are you using the klte build? I have both a klte and a kltedv and I need different ROMs for each.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Demirag:
My model is: SM-G900FQ, which I had bought from Turkish market, but after doing some research; I found that F = FQ = klte. And yes, I'm using klte ROM, since I've installed many klte-based custom roms such as ResurrectionRemix, Cyanogenmod, crDroid and else and no problem occured. Probably the main problem is battery which should be replaced or I didn't use my mobile properly so my S5 may be is on its last legs. But with Android 14 +Tuned kernel, it is still working fine with 2 gigs of RAM, which is impressive.

Thank you for your answer, though
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DarkSteve:
I have a question about live wallpaper support in LOS 21. This might be a dev or khalvat question.

I've been using live wallpaper since CyanogenMod 10 all the way up to khalvat's LOS20, it works flawlessly. I grabbed the MagicSmoke.apk out of the CM11 ROM, and I've literally been using that Magic Smoke live wallpaper from 2015 to today.

I installed khalvat's LOS21 on my test klte phone yesterday and I can no longer install my Magic Smoke. ("Not supported on this device".) Everything else with the LOS21 ROM is great, though.

Was live wallpaper support removed in LOS21/Android14? Or is it because my apk is too old? (i.e. targets too low an API/SDK?) Or is it a build choice when khalvat was compiling?

Lastly, if it is likely the apk being too old, is there a way of updating it so it works again?

All good things must end, but I love my CyanogenMod Smoke! I'd love to keep it alive a little longer if possible.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DarkSteve:
It worked!! Thank you SO much! That was the push I needed.

It was definitely the new SDK/API version restrictions in Android 14 that bit me. Installing my 2015 app was really quite painless once I had adb working.

You've made me very happy 🤓 I know it's stupid, but I really like having a piece of the old CyanogenMod alive on the latest OS.

S5 klte* Family - Unofficial LineageOS 21

I don't know why @khalvat did not post a link here to his new thread: Unofficial LineageOS 21.0 Android 14.

BTW why not add the device model to the thread's title to make it easyer to find in search engines Like S5 klte* for example? And LOS changed the version naming convention so it is 21 & not 21.0.

Anyway thanks khalvat for supporting our old devices! :cool:(y)

Update 2024-04-08

Merged April security patch

Fixed second sim Audio&Network for klteduos and kltechnduo

Fixed Ril for some models

Improved memory management
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Peter12205:
I am on Android 13 and the truth is that if I noticed the change when I installed it, now CDMA or WCDMA or something like that no longer appears, 3G and LTE appear directly, this solved the problem of the American Galaxy S5, which in Latin America does not have 4G bands and therefore By default it was set to 4G but we couldn't change it to 3G to recover the signal.

The ram management did notice that it has improved, before in android 13 it suffered the same as in 14 that with little ram it got stuck a lot but now having 200 or 300MB of ram it continues to maintain stability and fluidity what I do notice strange is that when it goes from 45° it was restarting when I was restoring the WhatsApp backup when I just installed the system and I had to leave it without touching it so that everything was restored from there it hasn't been restarting, I don't know if it is because of the heat that has been strong lately or for the kernel that I always install v:

It was the only thing I noticed, I've only been tinkering with the system for less than 4 days and I feel that it is the best for the S5.

Another important change is that the camera focuses quickly, before it was difficult for me to take photos since it had a hard time focusing on objects, now as soon as I point something and it focuses, I just discovered this since it is rarely the time that I take photos.

I'm sorry if I uploaded a photo of a plant, I just wanted to see how much the camera improved in this new patch, the truth is that I am satisfied with the details that can be seen :D

you should buy a magnetic cooler just in case(if you don't want to burn your display also don't forget the battery in the back you don't wanna be like me.

my battery is fat and my display is burned in😥.

But i have my own ways to make it reboot,and i'v tested every OS on it👽

every one have been warned *cooler* is going to be necessary . it's hard to tell that i just screw'd up my phone while updating from A5 to A6 on stock.

Hi, I must be doing something wrong but I can't manage to have my SIM card working when installing this LOS20 ROM on my S5 (klte). I was previously running tje official LOS18.1 but I reinstalled the stock 6.0.1 ROM before installing LOS20. My SIM was working in LOS18.1 as well as in 6.0.1. However when (clean) installing LOS20, the SIM is not detected. I'm unsure about what I'm doing wrong. Everything else seems to be working fine though. Could someone guide me?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Peter12205:
By chance, your Samsung S5 is American, mine does not detect 4G but 3G does, install the latest version, the previous ones still have that problem for those of us who are not from the United States, in the same way you could use these instructions that I used in the past with old compilations of android 13 and 14 too, you should check if you have the APN configured correctly and if the sim is correctly placed, I currently carry a Samsung S6 but I still have my S5 and an S4 so if you need more help, here we are from the forum :D

What I used was to execute the code *#*#4636#*#* go to device information and turn off the signal strength option and restart the cell phone (not factory), once it starts quickly go to the settings go to the section internet and networks and tap on the sim option and change the preferred network type to WCDMA.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] qilo4:
Thanks for the suggestion. That's highly appreciated! I tried to reinstall LOS20 (no SIM detected) and then executed the code *#*#4636#*#*. In "Device information", I could indeed see that the phone was using GSM/WCDMA/LTE (PRL) as preferred network type. I tried changing that to WCDMA only but this did not change anything and the setting did not survive a reboot. Also, I can't find any setting to turn off signal strength in the "Device information" panel. Mine is in french but the only options I can change are:

- mobile radio power supply: currently ON but I also tried to set it on OFF

- frequency of mobile information updates: currently set to Disabled

I can't access the Mobile network options in the main Android settings, these are greyed out due to the SIM not being detected. So I cannot change the preferred network type there either.

Did you mean I have to make those changes (i.e. set WCDMA only as the preferred network type) in the stock ROM before actually flashing LOS 20?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] khalvat:
Before flashing, make sure you disable the sim pin
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Peter12205:
In fact, I configured it in the quick start as WCDMA but now it is no longer necessary since Khalvat made it easier and although by default it is set to 4G I still have a signal showing 3G, which is what I receive since I am not from the United States.

The same thing should appear to you as it does to me, even if it is the French version.

In the past, before flashing Android 13, I used Android 11 official lineage and then it was corrupted with an update, in another forum I left instructions on what to delete to jump to Android 13 and eliminate that grayed out SIM error.

preferably check if the same thing happens with other sims, and seen that new sims do not pick up the signal on old cell phones and old sims do, based on facts in a Galaxy young where I introduced a current Movistar chip and it did not give a signal, but I used another Movistar chip from between 2017-2019 and it did give a signal.

Preferably, as I told you, use the most recent version that Khalvat released, which is the 2024 version, since from what I see you are still using the 2023 versions that came with separate network signals such as CDMA, WCDMA and LTE, among others.

In case you don't find the 2024 version, I can give you the direct link so you can install it with twrp, you would only have to leave your example model SM-G900F.

In case you cannot solve your error, check if your cell phone is unlocked or if you are using the correct build for your variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] qilo4:
This did the trick, thanks! Thank you both @khalvat and @Peter12205 for your kind help! I was on LOS18.1 official, disabled the SIM pin as well as screen lock. I also set the preferred network type to WCMDA only (just to make sure). Then I flashed LOS 20 (latest 2024 version) directly on top of LOS18.1, without ever factory resetting the phone (only formatting cache from recovery). After booting into LOS20, the SIM was detected and I was connected to LTE. Everything seems to be working fine. However as soon as I reactivate the SIM pin lock and reboot the phone, the SIM is again no longer detected... So I guess I'll have to leave the SIM pin deactivated, which is a bit unsafe as if the phone is stolen (well who would steal a 10 years old phone) the SIM could be used in any another phone right away. Is there any workarounds for that? Anyways, thanks a lot for having fixed my issue. I'll explore LOS20 and will consider moving to LOS21 once its status becomes stable as I still use the S5 as my daily driver.

Good day

There is a galaxy s5 sm-g900v

Unlocked and rooted

please advise what android version and custom rom is compatible to this version

looking forward to hearing from you
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DarkSteve:
You're in luck! You need the standard klte ROM, not one of the derivatives.

You can find the ROM for LineageOS 20 here. Grab the latest.

There is also a LineageOS 21 build, but I've found it struggles on our older devices. I've also found it to be a bit buggier (though other may disagree). But you can grab LineageOS 21 here if you want. But I do recommend 20 instead, I've found it to be rock solid.

You'll need a custom recovery as well. I recommend TWRP, you can get it here.

Lastly, for your information, your SM-G900V device's codename is klte. There are several devices that share this codename:

SM-G900F

SM-G900M

SM-G900R4

SM-G900R7

SM-G900T

SM-G900T3

SM-G900V

SM-G900W8

I personally have an SM-G900F, so a klte like yours. I also have an SM-G900I, which isn't on the above list, it instead has the codename kltedv. That needs a different build. You can't mix and match builds.

Khalvat also provides builds for klteaio, klteactivexx, kltechnduo, kltedv, kltekor, kltekdi, klteduos, kltechn. You'll have issues if you use the wrong build. It might appear to work at first, but things simply won't work as expected, if at all.

Yours is a klte, you need to stick with that. If you go exploring and try to install some other custom ROM, don't assume "near enough is good enough"! You need klte, nothing else will work right.

Good luck! Welcome to the community!
