[ROM][9.0][UNOFFICIAL] [G800F/M/Y] LineageOS 16.0 [Beta] [16-12-2020]

[Kenitilas]

If memory serves me...error 7 has something to do with the "assert" in the updater script used by the rom installation. If you open the zip, and drill into the folder structure you'll see the updater script is checking you have the correct hardware to install on...you can edit the script to remove the check...but that carries a risk. Are you sure you have the right variant of TWRP for your hardware?..if you're confident everything is good then like I say update the script...but please do double/triple check first..as flashing into wrong hardware is dangerous (brick)

i compared the file from LOS 16 with the LOS 15 (works on my phone) and those first lines are identical. I am pretty sure that this is the right ROM because i already flashed it to the phone and it was working..

Greetings, I'm liking the rom so far but wondered if VoWiFi or VoLTE could be added?? I have seen a way to alter the stock rom (it wouldn't let me though) and wondered if it was possible in this rom.

 

[Nevelet]

Well, I am never going to say it is impossible because strange things happen. That said it is very unlikely and I don't personally see how. The only real effect of not having working hardware composition should be a slight battery hit and perhaps small performance hit. Although neither of these things I notice. Basically without the HWC we are just relying solely on the GPU for screen composition.

Thank you so much for your reply, you are right, everything can happen. Now I understand the true meaning of the HWC. Do you say that this could be fixed together with the video problem? Thank you!

s5mini doesn't support either afaik, so there is no point adding software to it

Zip file is corrupt, says TWRP.
re-downloading the ROM and re-copying it to the inserted exFAT-formatted SDcard did not help.

I think that's the problem.

Has there been any changes to the oc kernel? Last time i used this device it didn't boot. Had that been fixed yet?

There's nothing really to fix. It works for some and not others. I tried to figure out why long ago with no success, so it just kinda is what it is. I am using an OC'd kernel (1.6) with no issues for a long time now. Others I know do as well. I won't include it in the ROM specifically for that reason: It just doesn't work for everyone.

Hi, I'm starting to have an annoying problem with WIFI, it often disconnects, it can't be stable. There is a solution? Because it's annoying. Thanks a lot!

I noticed also wifi disconnections while I have 2.4ghz and 5 ghz wifi band in one AP of my router. And after separating or establishing 2 wifi aps, one with 2.4 ghz and one with 5 ghz in my router, and connected my device either to the one or the other, I had stable wifi also during deep sleep. Unfortunately the possibility to switch wifi frequency manually from automatic to only one of both was removed from sources since I think beginning of oreo. One can add an entry in build prop but then you alwyas have to change it there if you want to switch to the other band. Infos about the entry are here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78378056&postcount=1
This are only my experiences, but maybe it helps other too to tear down the wifi disconnection problem. :fingers-crossed:

I still have the problem with the unstable wifi. I would be interested in a solution too. When I try to open the link, however, only an error message "404 Page Not Found" comes.

If the problem is similar to mine, then currently the solution or workaround is only to edit build.prop as explained in the post linked, or to setup 2 different APs /Wlans with your router: one 2.4 Ghz and one 5Ghz

Unfortunately I can not find the file indicated in the link, in the directory is such a file with me not ....

 

[rodman01]

The file WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini does not exist in our device thats right, but if you add the line to build.prop it might work. Not sure, because not tested by myself, but maybe you can do it and report back? Otherwise I guess the only workround setting up 2 different Wlan APs, one with 2 and one with 5Ghz will remain. Sorry for the confusion. https://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/4zrchh/g3_fixes_megathread/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x
BandCapabiliy: 0 = auto, 1 = 2.4ghz only, 2 = 5ghz only

 

[elsterkrug]

I have now deactivated in my FritzBox the 5Ghz Wlan. Then there should be no aborts even without editing the build.prob, right? Unfortunately, there are still crashes and even in standby, the connection separates .... too bad, but that does not seem to be a solution, at least not for me.

This patch prevents booting, loops forever in boot animation.
Reverting it the phone boots fine.

I've found out the reason, why I wasn't able to write on the external sdcard: I've had removed the preinstalled file explorer

Many thanks for this! I appreciate it. I have to think that perhaps a permission(s) is missing or something from the vendor/lineage/privapp-permissions-lineage.xml file. Missing permissions will cause a bootloop. I know from experience as I've done personal builds with added apps that I use included in the build process (Nova launcher,tasker etc) and the first time I had a bootloop. I needed to add some permissions to get it to boot. Anyway,thanks again. This surely saved me some head scratching at the very least. If it doesn't boot for me the next time I build I will create a patch to revert this and push it to the smdk3470-common repo.

Thanks for the follow up. I am glad you got it sorted!

Hey @spookcity138, it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on Android 10. Is it something that you'd be interested in pursuing on this device? Not asking for any specifics just the general direction you foresee.

Thanks.

Well,I have been following Android 10 news and know that it was officially released yesterday I guess. I am way overdue for a new device and plan on getting one soon. That said, I am going to keep my S5 Mini and would love to try to get android 10 going for it whenever LineageOS 17 starts rolling out. It will all depend on how much time I have and how difficult it may or may not be. There are things that will not work almost certainly (NFC,HWC),but if I am able to get it working on a similar level as this ROM I would be very happy. I am just not real sure what problems may arise. As long as I am able to get any sorted out and have the time to do so I will do my best to get Android 10 going on this device. I suppose it will be a couple/few months before Lineage 17 starts rolling out? I can never remember how long it usually is after Googles official release.

Also, @Panzerknakker : This commit should hopefully fix the non-booting issue due to the commit in vendor/lineage.
