I only do not hope this way you went from free to official paid version, since that would be theft and illegal to post in XDA
Please check this if you would like to do so.
If unfortunately this is the case, remove the posted info to avoid your ban from xda... :(
No... when did you get that idea? It's just the way I found to make it work since it was bugging. Know issue.

My whole life I have no idea to GET THIS ROM WORKING PROPERLY!! :(((
I have just installed the newest update of this firmware >lineage-16.0-20201126-nightly-kccat6-signed< (link: on post). It is installed successfully and worked smoothly AT THE FIRST TIME AS IF A DREAM :)).
But ... when I tried to remove some apps that no use such as "Email", "Browser", "Keybard" (I use Laban Key cus I'm Vietnamese), and "Calculator" (I use CalcES for better studying); and recheck some important settings such as Development, disable SELinux (no idea who set SELinux for this ROM as Enabled, really want it to be Disabled or Enforce/ Permissive instead :)), or disable auto-update for this android (cus I rooted the device with Magisk (newest version I pretty sure): after a while it get bootloop :((?? I means: the f**k??? It also get bootloop the first time I checked patched to Android with Lucky Patcher :((??? Thats why I have no idea what did the crash (or bug): Lucky Patcher or the System??
On the otherhand, Camera is good
... But my device got a restart (no bootloop) when I trying to use QR code scanning - mode or View photos (no idea either)
Please help me guys, I'm pretty sure my device is Samsung Galaxy S5+ (kccat6xx) (but in CPU-Z it named Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A(lentislte)) (there just one thing I can sure: my device's model is <SM-G901F> :)).

- Make clean install
- Do not delete apps, just do not use them
- Leave SElinux as it is
Than see if everything is working, make twrp backup at this stage. Than reboot.
Than try your own apps for email etc as mentioned by you, leave others intact. Working? Make twrp backup and reboot.
Etc etc
Good luck

May I ask you an question? this pretty matter: If i am going to root my device with Magisk, should I enable the option "Enable root" in Development settings? (no idea who put that damn thing there, but I HATE it) :D

By the way, I followed your instruction and its working, I found that the problem is not by uninstalling apps (i did it but the system worked properly), bootloop happened when i tried to check some settings in display features (?? :DD??, idk why this settings cause the problem, but I will try out more to troubleshoot this issue :))

To answer the root enable question, I THINK it is safe to let it on, it has been long when I rooted it, but my first root was with the lineage root, so I must have had it ON when start using magisk...
But, to play safe, do as I do:
Before every significant change, make simply backup in Twrp, so you always can return to a good working stage. Making backup there takes less time than installing everything over and over again.
The display thing should not give problems so now im curious what triggered it you got these problems?
Let us know what came out your troubleshooting and try_outs please
Goodluck my friend :)

Does anyone have a link to the latest Bootloader and modem for the kccat6, please? I keep trying to download from sammobile but it keeps failing.
Search XDA or google
Frija
Or
Samfirm https://samfirmtool.com/
both programs work as far as I know
:good:

Yeah, backing up data first is a good idea (no idea how I couldn't come up with it first :))
By the way, I tried to troubleshoot the problem last night, and I luckily I succeed :)
After flashing a CLEAN ROM (means it haven't been rooted yet, or it was not installed on another OS, I wiped all data include Internal Storage before), I made a backup for every changes I've made in settings (I guest the problem came from settings since the last time I take change to my settings I haven't rooted my device yet, and it got a bootloop right after that). After a while, almost settings have been changed with no issue, no bug, everything worked NORMALLY as it must be :), then I changed some settings in Display menu and ... (you can guest what happened after :V). Finally, "the truth will put" :D, I tried ~ 3 times re-check some settings in the menu and found an interesting: IF I SET "COLOR PROFILE" (Display -> LiveDisplay) TO "DYNAMIC", I DEFINITELY GET INTO A BOOTLOOP RIGHT AFTER :), SO I TRIED LEAVE IT UNTOUCHED (STANDARD) AND GET NO PROBLEM (LOL) :D
THATS IT, JUST FOR YOU TO KNOW, I AM NOT A PROGAMMER SO I CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TO ME, BUT I HOPE YOU GUYS CAN MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS ON THIS ROM SO IT WILL NOT HAPPEND TO ANY BODYELSE, GOOD LUCK :)
*This problem only happened on my device (SM-G901F), maybe on other devices or models the system will work properly, so this is just a concept, and not to give confirm to any OFFICIAL BUG :)

Thank you so much for try out and find out what happened. By the way, im no programmer either, just like you an end_user of this fantastic lineage the developer cvxda created for us.
I will make a post about your postings, in the hope she respond, but a while ago she wrote here being busy on other things, but ill post it anyway, just in case she might notice your detailed problem and workaround.
Thank you again im happy to hear you have your S5 working on this rom now :laugh:

@cvxda
Please read messages from veracrypt1
Did he find a bug?
I had no time yet to try out on my S5 yet.
Thank you, BTW I hope you are okay and save, since we have not heard from you a long time, but that is okay since you told us your time is consumed in other things.
:cowboy:

Hi guys, I've installed Galaxy S5 Plus SM-G901F Lineage OS 16.0 Android Pie 9.0 Official ROM and I was so happy 'till I've installed Magisk 21.0 Riru v21.3 | Riru - EdXposed v0.4.6.4 (SandHook) and Xposed Installer v 3.1.4 by dvdandroid. It's slowing my phone. When I open YouTube or anything else It takes some time to open them and when I have multiple applications opened it's barely loads them. I don't know what to do can anyone help me with an advice or anything else? Please guys.

Hi friend
The only thing I can say, is after I tried exposed also on S5 it really became slow, same as you encounter it.
So I de_installed it and now its fine again

well, I successfully installed Riru core and Edexposed on my sm g901f but nothing happened (nobugs, no lag), so I suggest you recheck your Riru Core module (dont use the newest Riru module the first time I installed It cause my Edexposed didn't work anymore, use the old Riru core module can be downloaded from reliable webpages) and reinstall Edexposed. If this still happend you might want to check your Edexposed settings and make sure the "de-optimize boot image" option is turned off, or try the option "optimize all apps with dex2oat (speed mode)"
Good luck

Just wanted to say that since a few LOS updates Magisk doesn't survive an OTA update and you always need to Flash magisk manually after it.

I also saw an update in the official KLTE 17.1 thread that says Magisk is surviving again.

Not complaining but maybe it's something easy to fix :) (could also be only on my Device?)

Happy new year and thanks for keeping the Kccat6 alive!

Edit: 06.01.21
Magisk survived with beta 21.2 and the Kccat6 build from 31.12.2020 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Im afraid its your device only, BUT did you update Magick to latest version before flashing?
I had done that, and Magick survived as always before.

BTW happy new year to all people :)

I always have the latest Magisk beta installed. I don't install it again before doing the OTA update, I don't see why I should?
Maybe it's because I use 2 user profiles (main profile manages SU for the second profile)

It's not a mayor problem, I just thought the KLTE update wouldn't announce a "now surviving Magisk" if it didn't before and there could've been a connection here.
