[G800F/M/Y][ROM][7.1][NJH47F] LineageOS 14.1 for G800F/M/Y [Beta 19/08/2017]

[bravur]

Anyone else noticed GPS accuracy isn't that great, compared to, let's say, the S4 mini? Not sure if it's ROM related though. I notice much more GPS spikes with my Runkeeper APP, than with the S4 mini. On both phones I also use(d) the "GPS Status" app, to always download most recent assisted GPS data...
Otherwise great stable ROM by the way! Thanks for the work!

This is a known problem of the S5 mini, and there are some fixes found and published on internet. I tried some, but did not have any success. But after that it get even worst and the service replaced something in it. Now its not so accurate again.

Argh, and I specifically bought the S5 mini second hand, for tracking of my runs, haha. Now I constantly have to correct the GPS spikes after. Bummer. I'll go and google some to try some suggestions besides using the 'GPS Status' app.

Keep us updated, for success or fail ..., thanks!

I never had this problem with the media server, but from the last build on, it is draining down the battery. How to solve this? Or will there be a solution for this in the next build? It's so annoying!

From what I've read this can happen to everyone on every ROM. Why this is I don't know. But you can use apps like media server killer or camera restarter since this often seems to happen when taking pictures. It is also recommended to freeze the onboard camera app and use a different one.

I dont use the cam, and it still happens... MediaServerKiller doesnt work that good, because it only can stop the media server when you unlock the screen... Until you unlock your screen, you could have lost 50% battery power in a few hours...

Is an easy error to correct, you just have to make your kernel permissive, from Kernel Adiutor I think it is possible, my advice is to install the kernel of spookcity, here the link https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...el-spookcitykernel-n-7-x-custom-roms-t3626015

The sim card issue is being worked on. It has already been mentioned here,but flashing my kernel should allow your sim card to be picked up due only to the fact that SELinux is set to permissive. If you wish to try:

It's ok for me thanks

Now, after some problems with the media server, I clean flashed the actual build from 22th and Spookcity138's Kernel and it works great now! So smooth and long battery time.
Thank you very much for developing this rom for our phone!

EDIT: - really makes no difference if Stock LP or MM was installed before - The SIM/baseband isn't recognized anymore - confirmed by another user.

Hi guys. According to the SIM issue: do all of your phones still have the Lollipop bootloader installed?

From what I've read the SIM issue is all about SELinux and has nothing to do with bootloader. Some have problems with enforcing and need to switch to permissive. There are many posts in various threads. There's a new thread with new kernel by Spookcity and more info.

i know the drill, but it's not the goal that some have to flash another kernel every ROM update. mine has no probs.... before the one of my GF had the prob, there it's solved. henny lately fixed some denials of posted logs, but the SIM still isn't recognized at those phones!

We really understand that you're phone don't read the Sim card using this ROM, can you stop repeating that please !!

Maybe an already known problem with fix but I don't follow everything. I had some wifi problems in Georgia for a long time. I'm from the Netherlands. I found out that the wifi region code is very important, and this rom seems to forget the region code now and then.

Maybe this solves some issues?

Since last build I have sim problems too now and then, but a reboot solves it

Sometimes my G800F shows just a blue or green screen in the upper half of the display. When I press the hardware button it may comes back to normal screen, but most of the time I have to take the battery out and force a reboot. Is this a known bug?

I think this is because it detected a Flipcover on your phone. You can disable it in Settings>Flipcover

By the way, even though I disabled Flipcover in settings, my phone's screen still randomly turns on because it detects a magnet or something. Any ideas?

You can freeze flipflap, it should work
