Cool and gongrats :good:, thanks for your work and effort and thread is subscribed. .
Working fine here on my end, even that I am aware it is in "alpha" stage, I know.

 

[MrCreating]

Thank you for you BEST WORK!)))

 

[brAvEiitoOr]

Thanks for your work, developers! I want to know if there's still the storage problem that's on Oreo (for example, if it's possible to make Whatsapp backups) before installing it. Have a nice day!

 

[aykuut]

Wow! Thanks for your awesome work, will test it when the camera is stable enough

 

[MrCreating]

Bluetooth do not work.
"Bluetooth keeps.stopping" after enabling it.

Bluetooth do not work.
"Bluetooth keeps.stopping" after enabling it.

Hmm,interesting. It was certainly working. I have connected to my girlfriends phone,my laptop and my Bluetooth enabled soundbar without issue in the past. However,there was a commit that broke Bluetooth a few days ago,but I believed it to be fixed. I can still turn it on and off without issue,but I did not test on the latest build. I will test it out later and try to see whats up. Thanks for the log!

 

[gladiador20101]

hello you could tell me why I can not duplicate screen in an s5 900f since it connects but at the moment it goes it can be a bug of the rom thanks

 

[NazareoJordan]

Can i know if this rom support project treble ?

 

[MrCreating]

No, this ROM doesn't support Treble

 

[MrCreating]

Wifi hotspot isn't working. Disabling after enabling.

 

[fidoedidoe]

I know this is a very* subjective question, so apologies in advance.

First off, massive thanks to @spookcity138 for this rom and all his previous S5 mini iterations (plus a whole heap of direct PM assistance too :good: )

I'd like to upgrade my GFs phone from LOS 14.1 to this ine, and I'm wondering how well this initial alpha release is working as a daily driver?

I can see from the opening page enough features are operational, but can anyone give feedback on battery life (when compared to LOS 14.1 ROMs), stability etc.

I know "try it and find out" is the easy answer, but would like to jump with eyes open / informed where possible as this is GFs phone.

Many thanks!!

 

[POLAURENT]

@spookcity138, marvellous piece of work !!!, more stable than 15.1, may be a bit slower, i directly flash from 15.1 to 16 with Gapps, just standard wipe and rolls ..

Just the Fingerprint Enrollment that doesn't work , as the Fingerprint itself works fine.

the sdcard access problems seems to be away indeed.

 

[aykuut]

This rom is very smooth and surprisingly very stable
Some bugs i've noticed:
- music album covers doesn't display
- as mentioned bt doesn't work
- in some apps, such as Snapchat, the recording of videos lags, taking pictures works well
- pixel launcher crashes constantly

everything else working fine for me, thank you for your amazing work

Thank you for pointing this out. Although there is no error in your log
You're right though.It is broken. I will look into this.

If I were you I would probably stick with LOS 14.1 as it is the most stable custom ROM for our device I believe. For me I have been using this ROM for a few weeks now and everything I have used and generally need works for me,but this differs from person to person based on their needs. Plus, I will try my best to fix and update things,but my time is going to be lacking over the coming weeks I think.

Thanks for the info. I assumed that FP didn't work as I couldn't get it to enroll. Thanks for letting me know that it indeed does work and its just the enrollment.

If I were you I would probably stick with LOS 14.1 as it is the most stable custom ROM for our device I believe.

I’ll have to (constructively) disagree there. I have set up six or seven S5 mini devices for friends and family; two initially hat RR 5.8.x, the rest LOS 14.1. Most of them encountered camera problems, many had random reboots. All of those problems went away only when I tried your XenonHD Android 8.1 build, which has been rock solid (as well as fast and smooth) for everyone I migrated to it.

 

[aykuut]

an another issue i've noticed now
- sending photos, videos and audio doesn't work in telegram x

keep great work!

Hello Spookcity ,

The FP works just as bad as others previous LOS versions , in my case it it's now impossible to register a new finger, the previous registred works normally .....

Another thing that doesn't works is the wireless hotspot , auto-closed as fast as open

Noticed Bugs

G'day spookcity138

I've noticed that

- Root (using Magisk 17.3) is not working
- as in Oreo, WhatsApp cannot backuo chats

But so far, yery stable!
Good work, mate

I don't use telegram on my phone,so if you or anyone is able to provide a log of this it would be great.

Good work, mate

Thanks for the feedback. I will try to look into the WiFI issue if I am able. I previously rooted with Magisk 17.0 without problem. So perhaps it is either the Magisk version you are using or something in the LOS sources has changed since then. I will look into the whatsapp issue. I Know someone posted a log of this at some point. I will take a look. That will be a bit down the road though as I would like to get the core features (nfc,bluetooth,hotspot,etc) working first.
