[ROM][OFFICIAL][11] LineageOS 18.1 for Samsung Galaxy S5 (klte*)

[r3actor]

In twrp you don't need magisk. You can simply use file manager or adb to write a file in system partition. Mount it as writable.

Thanks for your answer.

But, since I never did anything (like this) through TWRP, can you tell me how to 'mount it as writiable' ? (mount... what? 'system' ?) Sorry for stupid questions but...I just never did such thing before and I have no clue.

In the past I used File Explorer (once I rooted the phone), or nowdays MiXplorer to do things. But thats from within Android OS. Never did change things (moved, pasted, deleted system files) through TWRP.

TWRP has option for mount and unmount partitions. Use it for unmount, change option and mount again. File manager is a feature of twrp. Use is as similar windows application and copy file from your location to system location.

Thanks! I'll try to do that and see if it works.

Any news on kltekdi charging issues?

Hi guys,

Everything works great, but after activating encryption it turns out that my device is FDE encrypted now. I thought that lineage 18.1 encrypts to FBE by default? Supposedly, there should be an option to switch from FDE to FBE in the developer settings, but I couldn't find that one either. Is this a known feature/bug, or did I do anything wrong? Thanks!

S5 LineageOS 18.1 Update 2022-05-15 - Android Security Bump

Using the built-in Updater I OTA updated S5 G900M LineageOS 18.1 klte build 2022-04-17 + MindTheGapps + Magisk 23.0 + TWRP 3.6.1_9-0 to build 2022-05-15: everything went smoothly as usual & GApps + Magisk survived the update.

There are several changes listed in https://download.lineageos.org/klte/changes/ but most importantly it includes the monthly Android security bump: Bump Security String to 2022-05-05.

After the automatic reboot as seen in the screenshot > Settings > About phone > press on Android version > Android security update: May 5, 2022.

The Vendor security patch level just below it remains @ August 1, 2017 because the vendor is Samsung & it is not publishing security patches for it's S5 proprietary hardware related blobs anymore since August 2017.

See Android Security Bulletin - May 2022 for details about the security fixes.

Thank you to the Lineage Team & Mr. haggertk for keeping our old S5 klte* up to date.

Same question . The only reason I am not installing los 18.1 but I really love it … waiting for the solution desperately.

Supposedly, there should be an option to switch from FDE to FBE in the developer settings, but I couldn't find that one either. Is this a known feature/bug, or did I do anything wrong? Thanks!

So after spending all afternoon trying to force file based encryption, but being unable to do so - is my hunch correct that FBE is impossible on the S5 due to limitations with the kernel or hardware? Because if Lineage 18.1 goes for FDE instead of FBE on a wiped phone, it only does that if it absolutely has to?

I just bought a new battery for G900F model. Does anyone know what would be the propper way to calibrate it?

And... should I discarge it to 0% and charge it back to 100% three times in a row?

Don't do that, overdischarge may hurt the battery, just use it as normal.

Discharging to 0% is a bad idea.
Afaik the battery gets calibrated during usage after a while.

But somewhere on XDA I've found a battery test app for Samsung devices made by vndnguyen who made the PhoneInfoSAM as well.
I've found that 100% on device are shown although test app was still loading quite a while.
Btw it's not in the Playstore.
If you don't find it, tell me and I'll upload it to my Dropbox.

What is a charging issue ? Could you describe a problem ?

What is a charging issue ? Could you describe a problem ?

The device is charging in the background but it doesn’t show any response to the charger connectivity while booted into lineage os 18.1 and also on offline charging the device does the same…charging on twrp works fine….This issue is present since the release of lineage os 17 on this specific variant of galaxy s5 snapdragon ”kltekdi” aka ntt docomo s5 (Sc-04f / G900D). On lineage os 16 everything works perfectly normal. Although there is some progress related to solution of this problem on unofficial lineage os 19 aka android 12L. The developer has been able to solve this problem partially, the device now recognizes the charger connectivity but after sometime disconnects and keeps on connecting and disconnecting simultaneously. So there’s some hope that this problem will be solved in the future builds of lineage os 19.

Ok, thanks for the answer... but... since I still didn't removed the plastic envelope from the new battery (I still didn't started using the new battery)... what if...when I put the new battery, it shows 66% charged? Should I charge it to 100% or discharge it (to... I don't know... 5%, or 15%) first? Also, an app (AccuBattery) that I have installed on my tablet, suggest (it actually warn me) everytime I reach 85% while charging. It sais 'charging limit reached'. I don't know if 85% is considered 'good' percentage tor extensing the life of battery or its a non sense?

What do you mean by 'battery gets calibrated during usage' ? Also I heard that there might be some file on the phone that collect some battery data, so I'm concerned if the phone would continue to use old battery stats with new freshly inserted battery?

As for PhoneInfoSAM... its really strange that google play removed it from its site? Why would they do that if there were no shady things regarding that app?

I am having issues with missed calls not being counted right / reset with the latest LineageOS - lineage_klte on my device. I am using LineageOS without Google services. I am using the Simple Dialer app from F-Droid instead of the default Phone app. The issue was also reported here: https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Dialer/issues/256 but according to other information on the internet I found that you can't clear missing call notification and that Google disabled access to this functionality to third party apps? Is this the right place to report it or should I log a ticket somewhere else?

Also this is the result after just 4 missed calls from the same phone number. It is very weird, the missed calls are somehow duplicated. Going into the Call details history seems to reset the counter for the missed call notification. What could be the issue?

That while using for some days with several chargings in the meantime it finds out by itself. But I may be wrong therefore afaik.

Also I heard that there might be some file on the phone that collect some battery data, so I'm concerned if the phone would continue to use old battery stats with new freshly inserted battery?

Search for .db files in /. I've found a battery_settings.db on another device with LOS. Don't have the S5 by my hand.

Because they didn't earn enough with it?
Do you really believe in Google protecting us?
I don't, therefore I use Netguard no Root by @M66B (brilliant app btw.) and block those which I think don't have to be connected.

These are statistics about what app used how much battery and such. It has nothing to do with the battery itself. So, deleting that file will just wipe your statistics, nothing more.

Just use it as normal, and if you really worry about battery life, avoid overdischarge(avoid battery level lower than 20%) and overcharge(plug off the charger when the battery is 100% charged).

Also a good quality charger could extend your battery life, charger that comes with your phone is good enough.
