I installed latest release of LOS and have some strange issue.
First i thought it was because of a low battery but now its the same with fully charged phone.
I get somekind of a screensaver whit only hour and date on it and i can't get out, couldn't even reset the phone?
I know strange thing, but just asking if somebody else gets that, is it a bug or what. Thanks

I had the same issue. It is the flip case(Klapphülle) you can turn it off in the settings(it is on the first page under device). To access the settings again I had to remove battery and reboot the phone.

Thanks for the ROM, but often after reboots I have "mobile network not available" (Emergency calls only). Sometimes it helps to toggle Airplane mode, sometimes then it seems to acquire a signal, sometimes just for a moment and then drops it again. Sometimes after a reboot it works again.. (It's in an area where I have great signal with other phones.)
-Edit- Hm, when I switch from LTE to 3G, signal doesn't drop.... Perhaps the carrier I use for this small phone for running doesn't do 4G, but isn't the phone supposed to automatically switch back to 3G then with the default (recommended) settings that are on LTE?

I have long had such problems with switching 3G to 4G. My operator uses 2G-3G from another operator, and 4G has his own. Very problematic switching, especially after calls. Often there were only emergency calls or simply no network. With the firmware of the new modem, it's getting a little better. Try to update the modem. (Google Translate)

@hennymcc, Heyho.
I used the lineage-14.1-20170219-UNOFFICIAL-kminilte Build about ~2 months.
At this time some issues i noticed.
Yesterday I upgrade to lineage-14.1-20170602-UNOFFICIAL-kminilte.

Experiences with 20170219:
- 2 times, the handy “crashes/freezes” in standby over night. The sun woke me up, not the alarm clock. Only battery remove helps.
- 1 time, the handy consumes ~60 % from battery over 7 h in standby, over night. The alarm clock don't woke me up.. Handy was dead(recharge helps :D).
- Sometimes, handy awake at least of 2-3 seconds from standby.
- Sometimes, I became some days no incoming calls. When I called out, after the call I became sms from provider that I passed some calls at last days.
Call out “fix this” for some time.
- Camera App works fine until I used the whatsapp camera. Sometimes whatsapp crashes oder it works, then sometimes the camera app crashes.
I guess that can be a problem with rotation?! Sometimes Camera awake when i rotate 90° before start the app.
- Gallery App crash sometimes on starting the app.
- Notification-, Message tones played sometimes to short, sometimes not.

Now its yesterday and i update to 20170602:
First try, clean install and update TWRP fro 3.0 to 3.1. All is good, no problems, fast start.
But No access to system memory from USB(MTP)..
After some playfulness with all possible options i did the second clean install and third and furth..
The problem now, Boot-loop! I tested Twrp 3.0 and 3.1, always the same.
Only spookcity138 Spookcity_AnyKernel2-test8 Kernel solved that.
But now the system is creepy. Freezes in standby, only battery remove helps.. Auto rotation works only some time after reboot. BUT USB Connection(MTP) works fine. :D

Idea: The first install was fine until the USB(MTP) problem. After the second install, boot-looping begins.
AND, the date and time was missing. I cant set clock correctly in recovery.
Is this all just a "time" problem?
The time lost, when i remove external SD card, after the first install i do that after installation.

When i found some motivation in next time, i test the install again(without remove battery/sd card). Time problem solved also with Spookcity_AnyKernel2-test8 Kernel, the time set correctly in TWRP.

I hope thats readable. :eek:

Thanks for your reply! Any idea where I can get the new modem version? And it's simply possible to update it via TWRP?

hopefully @mirhciulica recognizes them and is able to debug... :fingers-crossed:
in my case he did really fast :good: - it seems you're not the only one where the issue persists...

Ok, may be it helps, I have one more set oft logs. This time with spookcitys kernel and working baseband.
Thanks for your help, mate.

    This is a LineageOS 14.1 ROM for the Exynos3470 based Samsung Galaxy S5 mini (G800F/G800M/G800Y).

    DO NOT USE IT FOR G800H OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE

    Although G800F and G800H share the same name they are not related in terms of hardware due to the different SoCs used (Exynos vs. Snapdragon).
    Hence please do not ask for support or ROMs for the G800H.

    Important note: It is possible that flashing this ROM can cause efs partition issues. Therefore it is strongly recommended to make a backup of your efs partition before flashing this ROM. This can be done via TWRP.

    Working features
    • HW accelerated GUI
    • Camera (pictures+video: Back+Front) (switching between camera and video-recording might crash the camera-app)
    • MTP storage
    • Flash Light
    • Bluetooth (A2DP, HFP, HID)
    • IR
    • Sound
    • SMS
    • Initiate and receive calls
    • Wifi
    • Mobile Data
    • USB-OTG (Keyboard, Mouse, USB-Audio, Mass-Storage)
    • NFC
    • Hardware sensors (Orientation, Compass, Proximity, Acceleration, Hall sensor, Step counter)
    • Light sensor (needed for auto-brightness)
    • Pulse sensor (preliminary and very inaccurate. Works with Apps like Kardiograph)
    • SD-Card as internal storage (new Android M feature)
    • GPS
    • Fingerprint scanner
    • SELinux

    Non-working features:

    Known issues:
    • Camera crashes when switching from camera to video. Use Google camera or Open camera to solve camera issues.
    • See the Bug Report section of this thread.

    Disclaimer:
    • You flash this image at your own responsibility. I am not responsible for any damage that might be caused by flashing this image (bricked device, lost data, ...)
    • Flashing this kernel image will trigger the KNOX counter, so your warranty will be void.
    • Applications that use KNOX (e.g. "Private Mode") might not work anymore when returning to the stock ROM, as the device is regarded as compromised. Do not flash this ROM if you need those applications.
    • The image is only for Exynos3470 based S5 Mini variants SM-G800F/M/Y.
    • It might be instable, crash your device, drain your battery, or even might damage your smartphone (e.g. if an USB-OTG device drains too much power)
    • Some users reported that their touch-screen stopped working permanently after some weeks of usage. For some user's (two at the moment including me) NFC stopped working permanently. Probably this issues are not related to this ROM as also many stock user's complain about hardware issues (random reboots, black screens, unresponsive touchscreen) but you have been warned.
    • Backup your data before flashing and check if the original firmware is present (e.g. at SamMobile)
    Before you start:
    • Backup your data, like call history, contacts, sms, WhatsApp messages, favourite app settings that are on internal and external sd (by using Titanium Backup or other apps available on PlayStore). At least all internal data will be lost in any case. If you have bad luck you might also loose data from your external sd card.

    Download:

    Install recovery:
    • Reboot your device into Download mode: turn off your device, then press Volume-Down + Home + Power button at the same time and release them.
    • Confirm the following warning message with the Volume-Up button.
    • Connect your device to your PC via USB
    • Make sure the device driver's are installed on your PC
    • Start Odin
    • In Odin select "PDA" (in newer versions: "AP") and select the recovery image (recovery.tar.md5)
    • Check that only "F. Reset Time" is set. "Auto Reboot" should be disabled to avoid a reboot into stock ROM.
    • Click on "Start": the recovery image should be flashed now. By flashing the recovery, your warranty will be void.
    • After the recovery flashing process was successful, power of your device, wait a few seconds and reboot into recovery mode (see instructions below).
    • Important: make sure not to boot into stock ROM, otherwise the stock ROM might remove the custom recovery again. If this happens, flash the recovery image again.

    Before you flash:
    • You need the latest TWRP recovery (see above). Otherwise TWRP might not be able to flash the ROM. This is because TWRP checks now if the device is "supported".
    • Wipe the device to avoid problems with remaining files from the old installation (see instructions below). This also applies if you already installed an older version of CM 14.1.

    Flash ROM:
    • Reboot into recovery mode (Press Volume-Up + Home + Power button)
    • If you come from a stock ROM, this is your opportunity to make a Backup of your phone(Backup, then select Boot, System, Data, then swipe to backup). Note that the recovery might fail to restore the backup when you want to go back to the stock ROM (for me it got stuck after a restore during boot. But the backup was made with a different version of TWRP, so it might work in general) - simply do not expect too much of it at the moment.
    • If you haven't copied the installation files yet, you can now copy the GApps and the ROM zip to your internal sd or external sd (be careful not to put the files into the data directory of the internal sd card as this will be deleted in the next step). Be sure that MTP is enabled (inside Mounts, click on Enable MTP), then, from your pc, copy the files. If MTP does not work from recovery, try it directly from Android or remove the external sd card from the phone and put it into your PC.
    • Wipe Dalvik Cache, Cache, System and Data (inside Wipe -> Advanced Wipe). Do not report problems if you did not wipe those partitions as the problems are most probably related to this!
    • Install the CM ROM zip-package
    • Install the GApps zip-package

    How to root:
    LineageOS does not have root support integrated by default. You have to download addonsu-arm-signed.zip for 14.1 from the Lineageos Extras download page and install it with TWRP.
    After that root access is still disabled by default. If you want to activate root access for apps, do the following:
    • Open the Settings menu, select "About Phone"
    • Tap on the "Build number" entry seven times. You should be notified, that the developer settings are now active.
    • Open the Settings menu, select "Developer options". Enable root access by selecting "Apps" in the "Root-Access" setting.

    In case you want to go back to the stock ROM:
    • lf you do not have the latest ROM for the G800F you can download it from SamMobile
    • Reboot your phone into Odin mode
    • Open Odin on your PC and connect your smartphone with your PC via USB
    • If you have a zip-file unzip it so that you have a .tar.md5 file
    • In Odin click on the PDA button and select the .tar.md5 file. Then press "Start".
    • Normally the stock rom fails to boot as the data from CM is still on the data partition. So after flashing the stock rom, reboot into recovery mode (it looks a bit different now). First wipe the data partition, then wipe the cache.
    • Reboot

    Developers welcome
    • At the moment the G800F/M/Y specific port of this ROM is only done by two persons (CTXz and hennymcc). Although Unjustified Dev also works on this ROM he does not own an Galaxy S5 Mini but a Galaxy Light which has a similar base but is different when it comes to camera, nfc and other components (maybe even slightly when it comes to audio and radio).
    • Help from other developers is always welcome. See the bug/feature section and this thread to see what is missing. Just give some short info (here in this thread or PM) that you want to work on some issue or feature so that work can be synchronized. Maybe there are also other devs that want to work with you on the same issue.
    • Knowledge in how the kernel works and good programming skills in C, C++ and Java would be nice but not necessary for all problems. At least you should be able to build the ROM and test your changes yourself but you do not need experience in porting ROMs.

    Thanks to CTXz, Psyafter, spookcity138, ayke and mirhciulica for working on this ROM.

    Official TWRP 3.1.1

    I've worked together with the TWRP maintainers to make TWRP official, and it's finally here :D
    https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5-mini/orig-development/recovery-twrp-3-1-1-exynos-t3626646

    You can download it from here:
    https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys5miniexynos.html
    21
    A new build is available:
    https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545570720

    It turned out that the patch found by Spookcity not only fixes Firefox but also the fingerprint bootloop. So the new build should be usable again.
    As the initial bootloops probably were also caused by the fingerprints it should not be necessary anymore to wipe everything (although still recommended).

    Changes:
    • Firefox crash&reboot fixed
    • Enabling the fingerprint reader does not cause bootloops anymore
    • Ambient display option added (disabled by default)
