LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 12 (S), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google applications installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps).

Current issues:

VoLTE, WiFi Calling, standard Samsung stuff

SELinux Permissive

Front camera did not work
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] xxzero:
The rom is very stable. Front camera did not work. I did not use WhatsApp.. waiting for a fix.. sm _920c..I have been waiting for a software that works for this device for a long time...please make this happen
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] xxzero:
I'm waiting for the next test..thank you very much
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] xxzero:
There is echo in whatsapp call..
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] zileli6o:
Teşekkürler hemen indirip deneyeceğim.
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] tejljr:
Rom is very stable. Almost everything seems to be working except for the front camera. There's also a bug where the alarm shows as turned on in Quick Settings and the lock screen, but there are no alarms set.

how can i install TWRP 3.7.0-9.0 version supported version is 3.4.0.0
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] fakemanoan:
Here is a drive link to TWRP versions: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gAlPsZIkYM-XYWu-JWJCDgwJ-60h0Ss2

I will eventually release my own TWRP builds eventually as these do not support OTA updates to my knowledge (at least they didn't on S6/S6 edge)
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] queriant:
Sorry but i am new to roms, there is a file named boot-noblelte-12-enforcing.img i don't know what to do could you add some installing instrucitons
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] fakemanoan:
Look up a standard Note 5 custom ROM install guide, the steps are the same.

If you want Google Apps, you can use the "MindTheGapps Legacy" package on my website https://fakemanoan.github.io or BitGapps. Make sure you get Android 12.1 ARM64 though.

The boot IMG file is incase you want to test SELinux enforcing, it is not required to use the OS.

Selfie camera is not working, other than that ROM is good, please check
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] mrttd:
Same as always. GPS function doesn't work well on lineageOS rom, is there any way to fix it?
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] queriant:
I installed the rom but camera is not working for me neither back or the front 😭
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] babyboy3265:
Does this ROM by any chance have a battery protection function where it only lets the phone charge to 80-90%?

I am usingmy note 5 as a call forwarding device and it is connected to the electricity 24/7. I'm afraid it will destroy the battery and it may swell. Dangerous..

If i have the opinion to protect the battery from charging to 100% at all times, that will be supreme.

If this ROM doesn't have this function, can anyone suggest a rom that does?
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] fakemanoan:
yes, it is in the battery settings under "charging control" and allows a range between 70-100%
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] babyboy3265:
Thank you so much for your work and effort, it is very appreciated!

I plan to install it and give some feedback on how it is functioning.

Would you be able to possibly provide some installation steps? Just want to make sure I don't brick it by mistake. Thank you
[Galaxy Note5 Original Android Development] fakemanoan:
Just make sure you have TWRP 3.7.0-9.0 (I think I linked it above). Other than that, its a standard Note 5 ROM install.

Also an update - I will be releasing a new update as soon as the new ASB drops for lineage 19.1 with some nice fixes and improvements. Should address most of the problems you guys are having.

behavior : the phone freezes from time to time

does anyone know the cause or solution to the problem?

thank you

I think the problem is in the fact that when the phone changes connection with the transmitter, when it loses signal and resumes again, each time the screen stops working, everything stops. If the phone has a stable connection with the network, everything is fine.

I always say that I treat my portable devices as ephemeral.

I really don't care if a truck runs over one of my portable devices.

(That's only if at the time the device wasn't in my pocket.)
[General Topics] TheMystic:
I haven't seen this kind of a limitation on any phone, so why imagine something like this? 🤔

There are plenty of ways to backup data, even Automated solutions. So why imagine this too? 🤔

We haven't really accepted this, just that we were not provided any options (by popular mobile browsers). But browsers do offer syncing feature if you sign in, and that includes open tabs too. So one can always export them from the Desktop counterparts.

There are apps like SMS Backup & Restore that allow to do just that. Works completely offline too (if you want). You can even view the messages on a Desktop by going into the developer's website (developer claims they can't read your messages, but the privacy concern still exists).

With the amount of data that we have today, one would require too many disks to store them, making it impractical. That's where cloud services come in with several layers of redundancy built-in, plus the convenience of accessing files from any device, any time, anywhere. This is not possible with optical disks or microSD cards.

😆
[General Topics] Going1438:
The problem of cloud is that your files are open with no encryption (not counting https) unless you bother to do an encrypting setup... Also network speed could be an issue if you're on mobile networks...

Optical discs also isn't as common as before afaik (how common do you see BD-Rs on sale?, DVD types are more common, but gonna need plenty of these to do a full backup). Solid state you'll run into issues of "data shredding" if you don't power up for some time. I'd probably recommend HDDs as the way to backup locally, with encrypted cloud backups. (And ofc do your backup strategies right, optimally 3-2-1 level backups).
[General Topics] Hendrix7:
Which service do you use? And do you have a paid subscription?
[General Topics] blackhawk:
There's no "data shredding" with flash memory; the cell either retains the charge or not. How many cycles it has on it also matters but at 10+k cycles it will likely be retired before its retention is compromised by leakage.

Powering it up has no effect* on stored values; you need to rewrite it to renew the cell charges. Should be good for at least 10 years. Protect from ESD exposure at all times. They can be damaged from near lightning strikes by magnetic or capacitive induction too; best kept in an earth grounded metal box ie Faraday's cage.

Memory retention diminishes with higher temperatures. With magnetic platters the same is true. Store both at 72F or so in a dry place. Never attempt to spin up a cold hdd, allow to come to room temperature first. Protect from all strong magnetic fields, ESD and near lightning strikes.

*elevated temperature however does effect retention, leave it unpowered if possible.
[General Topics] Renate:
I remember years ago trying to spin up an HDD when it was below freezing.

I never had any data problems but it would need to warm up above freezing before it even whirred.

What's the exact issue? Do the heads not float?
[General Topics] Hendrix7:
Indeed. While cloud services can't get stolen or drop on the ground and break, they have different vulnerabilities.

Cloud storage providers might shut down, might terminate accounts (false positive), and have a tendency to purge inactive accounts (Reddit post). For example, how likely is OneDrive to have your files by the year 2050? Not likely.

Cloud storage providers have inactivity policies which purge long unused accounts to release disk space to new users. For example, one year for Dropbox and two years for Microsoft. Google has no formal inactivity policy, but they occasionally purge long inactive accounts like they did in December 2023. But DVDs and Blu-ray discs can not magically erase themselves. They are written once and are then zero-maintenance for decades.

In addition, a cloud service requires perpetual payment for anything more than the base storage of a few gigabytes, where as a Blu-ray disc is paid once for and stores data for decades. Admittedly, Google's free 15 GB are quite generous compared to the other cloud storage providers.

Cloud storage also comes with a privacy concern. Staff members at the cloud provider might be able to look into your data. Doesn't mean they will, but they might be technically able to. Artificial intelligence robots certainly look at your stuff.

There also is a risk of hacked accounts, but with a strong password, that is unlikely. However, write-once optical discs are inviolable to hacking.

Cloud service only is an addition to local data storage, not a replacement.

I think condensation. Also, temperature shocks, meaning rapid temperature changes, are unhealthy for mechanical devices due to the parts slightly expanding.

Perhaps temperature sensors detected the freezing temperature and prevented operation.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
Do not attempt to spin up a hdd until it reaches room temperature. There's no protection for this built in. You could burn out the drive motor. Do not allow to exceed 120°F when in operation, active cooling is best for hard running drives.

NEVER drop, bump, knock, shock, etc a spinning hdd. Protect for excessive vibrations when running as well. Handle spun down ones like eggs!

Keep away from speakers (big magnets) and CRT's (degaussing coil).

Always store in a cool, dry place.

Enterprise class hdds are built for long life and data storage.

Never use a RAID 0 array for critical data storage.

Do Not encrypt or password protect data backup drives as you are the one most likely to be locked out!

Never clone or compress a data drive with media files on it as it can remove needed null marks.

Copy/paste always not move/paste!

Always verify file/folder count and for readability after copying.

Use cross platforming ie Android to PC, Mac to help reduce the chances of active malware getting into the backup database.

Vet all files before the go into the database.

Data files, foreign jpegs especially should always be in folders for further isolation. Avoid huge file folders, break large folders into smaller subfolders.

Keep at least 3 copies of critical data that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC. You can never have too many backups. Time staggering to some degree is best.

Never connect a backup drive to a PC or device that is suspected of being compromised by malware. Do a full zero fill of any compromised drive if in doubt. OS loads can be replace critical data can not.

>Think< before you do things especially with backup data drives.

Labeling drives helps.
[General Topics] Renate:
I presume that by this point only NAS servers should be having HDDs.

I haven't had an HDD in a while.

I still have two 250G SATA SSDs that I should reuse as offline backups.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
For bookmarks and notes I've been using ColorNote. I don't trust or use browser backup at all now. Boned too many times since 2006!

ColorNote has export capabilities but you need to make sure it's auto updating to the SD card, etc.

Manually verify and/or backup the most recent data copy. Lol, had I not got my one N10+ back online I would've list a year's worth of bookmarks, etc🤣 My bad for trusting it was still auto backing up! Still don't know what caused it to stop... lol, I'm sure there's a reason.

It's still a favorite though... just need to keep an eye on it! You can open hyperlinks directly from it.

Older version, works on Pie and Q. Glitch opening multiple hyperlinks without closing browser and ColorNote. Not a big deal but annoying. Other than this it's doing well.
[General Topics] Hendrix7:
If it is too cold, I don't think it will "burn" out, but it could be damaged from water condensation.

It seems Toshiba drives do have temperature detection. Which brand does not have it?

Indeed. Not only because of the magnets. Subwoofers also cause vibrations that are unhealthy for hard drives.

You can say that again.

EposVox unfortunately learnt the hard way:

And for SD cards, do not use cheap SD-to-USB adapters or they might interrupt the connection unexpectedly and result in a corrupted file system. Speaking from personal experience. I first thought the SD card had failed but the adapter corrupted its file system ("USBC" in boot sector).

And avoid proprietary formats for the same reason. In the long future, proprietary formats might be more difficult to access. The same already happened to Windows Write (.WRI) files and Microsoft Access databases (.MDB).

Add this to the list: Do not manage partitions before doing a full-disk image backup. This unlucky person learnt the hard way.

And cheaper flash storage is worse at retaining charge and has worse error correction.

In fact, a memory card by a no-name vendor or low-end vendor (HAMA) might corrupt your files within the span of one year. Such flash storage is at most useful for very short-term uses such as file transfers between computers.

But a memory card by a reputable brand (SanDisk, Toshiba, Transcend) can very well keep your data for a decade or more.

Higher quality flash storage has stronger error correction. The charge of the flash memory cells is usually refreshed automatically while the flash storage is supplied with power, and when data is read.

Newer file systems such as exFAT and NTFS and ext4 are better at handling large directory listings. FAT32 is unfortunately slow at handling many files in a single directory. On FAT32, I recommend staying below 10000 files per directory.

Some people also make the mistake of putting their files into split compressed archives. (.7z.001, etc.) - this should only be done where absolutely unavoidable, meaning for individual files that are too large to fit on one disc.

But for every other file, this is unnecessary and just adds the inconvenience that the files have to be unpacked before being viewable, and also one missing disc could cause all parts of the archive after that to be unreadable.

For example, if example.7z.005 is missing, example.7z.006 might be unreadable despite not being lost.

Another cause of data loss is exhausted space. A full disk could lead to failed writes. A text document might be saved as a zero-byte file.

Privacy and Security are extremely important, but there is another very important factor too to consider: Convenience!

The moment one uses tech products, there is always an element of compromise with Privacy, no matter how much one tries to keep things private.

I use the Vault feature of OneDrive (it is encrypted) to store all my documents and other very important files. For everything else, such as camera roll, I use multiple cloud services (from different service providers) to back them up, in addition to 2 local backups.

Since I use multiple devices, it is extremely convenient for me to access pretty much all my files from any device, anytime, anywhere. This is not possible if I were to stick with microSD cards, optical disks or HDDs!

Multiple services, but primarily Microsoft 365 (Family plan) and Google One.
[General Topics] TheMystic:
More than 10 years back, I was playing around with Windows using command line, and by mistake used the Diskpart command from recovery, without fully understanding what it was going to do. When my system booted, I found a clean disk: everything, including precious memories, were gone! After spending couple of sleepless nights and trying out several tools, I finally found one that actually recovered almost 100% of my files. It was nothing but God's grace that got me back my files. I learnt my lesson very well that day, and set up a backup plan that has since worked flawlessly for me.
[General Topics] V0latyle:
Nothing particularly revolutionary here....

Anyone who values their data enough to ensure it's accessible knows the value of redundant backups. Storage has been getting progressively cheaper for years, and if you don't want to spend the money on a NAS with a RAID array, just outsource it - there's plenty of cloud storage options with integral encryption.

Privacy issues aside, Google has been largely pioneering this with Google Photos and Google One for the Pixels, although unlimited Photos backup is no longer available for the 5a and newer.

[General Topics] blackhawk:
Never spin up a cold drive... water condensation isn't the issue. Cold bearings and metal contraction are. Tolerances are extremely tight. Temperature detection doesn't mean it won't spin up at low temperatures...

A flash card that doesn't operate perfectly in a single device after formatting in that device should be discarded. Do Not "share" memory cards between devices. Upload/download through the Android to the card. I can get away with sharing a card between my N10+'s but I don't recommend as it can cause the card to go corrupt. Like sharing between two cameras without formatting first.

Yes always use a name brand card. Get V-30 rated or higher.

Don't count on it refreshing cell charges. Dead cells are mapped out though.

NTFS always for Windows.

Always leave 10% headroom, more for OS drives.

The reason for the folders is they act to isolate scripted jpegs or other infected files. These may not be detected by antivirus and can damage any files in that folder! I've seen both Window and Android versions of these, nothing detected them at that time.

I do the same with mp4's etc. Each movie or song album has its own folder. Helps with organizing as well.

All downloads stay in the download folder until vetted, open all jpegs and media files, see they work and look for any changes in that folder afterwards. Any unknown downloads delete without opening. Use folders in the download folder ie music, apps, movies, etc. Again to protect and organize them.

☠Do not clone (lose needed null marks), convert or compress wav (lose of HDCD subtext) files!☠
[General Topics] blackhawk:
Depends on it's value to you. Many times it's the site itself that's of interest.

Youtube quality generally sucks. I try for high res files whenever possible especially for music. Flac or wav for music.

If it's something I like on internet archive I grab it though!

I won't let Gookill touch my images. It has failed me miserably in multiple ways in the past. I can only trust Google to fail me again... like a bad gf.
[General Topics] Hendrix7:
Compressing using file archivers (ZIP, 7z, GZIP) is not going to change the content. And cloning copies the exact same bytes from the source drive to the target drive.

Audio CDs don't work using conventional file systems but tracks, so one has to use software that can read all the data one wants backed up.

Hasn't failed me so far, but I would still not trust cloud services with any irreplaceable data I don't have stored locally. Cloud services are a convenient addition, not a replacement for local storage.

For a local backup, I recommend choosing a different model of hard drive or SSD than the source drive, so any manufacturing errors do not affect both the source and the backup, see the Seagate DM001 disaster.

DM001 was nicknamed "doom" and "doom1" on various computer forums.
[General Topics] Going1438:
Well this reminds me of the "2" thing in the 3-2-1 backup strategy, afaik it supposed to mean 2 different drives, but before that I read that as 2 different types of media (SSD and HDD) or at least different batch...

I recommend Exact Audio Copy on windows, it manages to rip some of the tracks of my very scratched disc...
[General Topics] blackhawk:
CD's and especially HDCDs must be ripped to digital and kept as uncompressed wav files. It's as simple as that. Copy/paste only. With over 220gb of wav files I can't afford them being damage by mismanagement.

You can take the above advice to the bank. I learned it from standing on the shoulders of giants.

I use cloud for Gmail for security reasons.

$hit happens...
[General Topics] Hendrix7:
A lossless audio codec such as FLAC does not discard any data, so FLAC files can be converted back to WAV and no quality is lost.

Converting to a lossy format such as MP3 or OGG would slightly reduce the quality.

Also, file archive formats such as ZIP 7z are also lossless, so packing WAV files into them is not going to reduce the quality at all.

Some optical drives might be better at dealing with damaged discs than others. In my experience, LG (HL-DT-ST) copes with damaged CDDA poorly.
