Push notifications
Hi all,
I have add the likes of Viber and Whatsapp to the protected app list, but still once the app is closed it stops getting push notifications.
Have played around with the battery manager, but still no luck.
Has anyone got a fix or workaround for this?
Thanks
Paul

Hi, how can i move apps to sd card?? I have enabled the default storage to sd card but my big games don't have any move to sd card option

NEM-TL00H: Only EDGE connection
Hi,
I have an imported Honor 5C which I am using in Germany (T-Mobile network). Although I'm using Sim Card slot 1, I don't get a 3G (or 4G) connection. Does anyone have a guess what could be the problem? I know that 4G is probably not supported because of the not supported German LTE bands, but 3G shouldn't be a problem I thought.
Thanks in advance and best regards

Yes, from play store GMD Immersive, here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.immersive&hl=en_GB I'm using it right now on a non-rooted 5c and it works pretty well. Won't remove it but will hide/unhide it as needed.

Will this phone have custom roms and other customisations available?

What about camera model?

Does anyone know where to by the device online which has the fingerprint scanner included and works with a UK sim card?

Hi everyone,
I received my Honor 5C two days ago and I have noticed an annoying behavior, related to RAM management: Emui tends to close my apps very quickly, even the ones I have configured to be protected (both in the settings and in the task manager by using the trick of swiping down to lock the app).
All of this with still 700 Mb of unused RAM...
If I open a web browser for instance, then go check my email, then look at a couple of pics in the gallery or wathever (I haven't done anything heavy on the phone yet), and then coming back to the browser, it turns out the latter has to reload completely. Like I said, it does so the same way with protected and unprotected apps and even without shutting down the screen in between.
Edit: it's ridiculous, I tried using the timer in the built-in clock app, and it got killed before the end of the time I'd set. Twice.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks.

Reg : VoLTE support in ASIA model
Hi Guys,
I m planning to buy this honor 5C. I m from India.
Have 2 doubts about the device.
1. I heard that Memory Management is not gud in this mobile. Is it a (ROM) or (Kernel) problem ? Can it be rectified with any official update (ROM) from Honor ?
2. Do anyone know if the Device could get VoLTE support in Future ?
Thanks.

Yes, memory management is just terrible. I'm experiencing it more and more every passing hour and it's a PITA, if not a deal breaker. Apps are killed mercilessly which leads to missed notifications, alarms and timers not ringing and general displeasure swapping between apps. It's a real pity because hardware-wise, it really IS a fine phone, fast and with a really decent camera for the price. I also like the general EMUI experience as an interface.
I have spent hours browsing the net and haven't found any solution yet, official or unofficial, apart from either rooting and disabling the Emui Phone Manager app, or installing a custom ROM.
I was not planning on fiddling with this phone just yet so am expectantly waiting for an official update. But if that's not coming in the next days, I think I'll just end up returning it. I just don't know which phone to get instead...

The memory management isn't as bad as you are describing, just go to phone manager>protected apps and enable it for the apps you want running in the background, you can also go into settings>apps>advanced>ignore optimisations and allow it for the apps that are being killed, and i dont think you'll miss alarms and timers because they are system apps

I have similar problems, even system apps, e.g. Health will be killed in background while doing nothing. Unfortunately you can't even add system apps to the protected apps list.
And even apps on the protected apps list are being killed in background on my phone.

I did try and use these settings, with absolutely no effect at all.
But contrary to what I said in that initial message, I ended up unlocking and rooting the phone. Like I said I really like this phone, especially compared to my friends phones in the same price range. It's a fast little thing and pictures in daylight (the only kind I take) are excellent, way better than my 300€ compact camera. Plus battery life is good. So I didn't want to give up on it.
After rooting I freezed the phone manager app and a few others, installed Kernel Aduitor, fiddled with the settings, and now I'm quite happy with it. Apps can finally use more RAM and stay open longer... it still has a tendency to kill them a little bit too fast to my liking, I'm guessing this is an Android 6.0 "feature", but at least it is now usable.

It looks like frp is still turned on.
Boot to Android and in developer settings, make sure OEM unlocking is checked and try again.
Should work then.

Samsung cloud failed network error on app backup. Prepping before recall return.

I've tried every scenario to get this part of the Samsung cloud backup (App Data) on my Note 7 to work, but it keeps failing at around the 76% mark. I've even deleted more than a few apps, optimized the ram and or whatever is included in the "Device Maintenance settings", and gone on to boot my phone into bootloader mode or whatever it's called when one holds down the Power, home, and volume up button to wipe cache.
I've deleted all bloat where for that matter as well. Anyone else running into this problem? If you have, and have fixed it. Please offer a solution fix please. I'd like the switching over to a new Note 7 to be as seamless as possible like many other's that are gonna be in the same predicament are.
I'm certain that I am not the only person with this problem. So please please post logical suggestions and fixes. We'd rather not have this thread bloated with me too's before a solution is found. Gotta get this thing returned soon. Thanks!

This issue has been happening for me since the note 5
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk

Same issue here, also since note 5. Mine failed at 90%. I was still able to restore. Not sure what didn't get backed up or restored, seems like I have everything.
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk

The reason why you guys are having this problem is because you have some bloat ware disabled. Enable all the bloat and do it again. You could try to figure out exactly what specific apps it is but that took me like an hour to do that.

BTW, the +new+ Samsung cloud is exclusive to the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 so far. It's not the normal Samsung backup that we've had in years past on our previous Samsung phones. Basically the new integrated Cloud that is found on the Note 7 allows for a complete mirror of your device should one choose to replace the previous phone for whatever reason with a restore.
This new version goes one step above any other manufacturer out there, including Apple. It is supposed to literally copy everything if you choose to do so from your previous device and restore it to a new Note 7. It's Samsung's latest and supposedly greatest tech on this matter. Not trying to be a D, but if you are not informed on the particulars and are looking to speculate only, please allow someone with the proper knowledge to contribute to this thread. I'm seeking a fix. Again, I'm certain that someone has come across this issue and has an answer. If it stays empty, so be it, but seeking a real solution. Thanks

I was also having an issue with the Apps not backing up, I use an app called EZ Disabler and had about 27 apps disabled. I re-enabled all apps, and it worked fine. Evedently there was an app that I disabled. I have gone back and disabled the apps I had proir. At least I can reinstall all apps when I get my the Note 7 (non-fire catching version). Hold this helps...

I had to disable Package Disabled Pro and reboot just to get the backup to cloud to finish. Then I did a factory reset. When I attempted to restore, not everything came back! Very annoying! Just my 2¢.

Yeah, thanks guys re-enabling any disabled app fixes the problem. Easy fix it seems.

Thanks to the posts in this thread I was able to get Samsung Cloud working so that I should be able to mirror the contents of my current Note 7 to the new Note 7. I also purchased EZ Disabler which appears to be a very useful tool.

What failed to be restored?

Most of my settings and a variety of apps. The Samsung app updates I had installed had to be done completely over. For Google some were completely missing. Those that weren't had to be updated immediately. No data whatsoever was saved including passwords already set up. It wasn't a total waste of time, but it wasn't the experience you get with Titanium Backup.

This is why I now use the smart switch back up to SD card only.

Merely re-enabling Samsung-specific apps seemed to have fixed it for me. For example, I have several apps disabled, and all I had to do was re-enable S Voice .

I re-enabled all apps on my Note 7 and still get the failure. I'll keep trying.

False alarm. Couldn't back up a second time. I'm baffled.

Confirmed. Re-enabling disabled apps does the trick. I restarted the phone after enabling the apps and before backing up, just in case.

I've reenabled apps and rebooted - no luck.
Apps backup goes to 90% then fails...
Server error every time. I would really like this to work since setting up this device takes me few days atleast (since i dont have the time to do it in one go).
Any sugestions?

I don't know what to do! Seems Smartswitch isn't working right either. I tried transferring data from my Note 7 to my loaner S7, but every time Smartswitch was trying to move data from the empty S7 to the Note! Samsung Cloud was at least partially successful.

I was having the same exact issue, including the failure at 76%. After reading the comments, I re enabled only s voice. This worked and the backup now completes.

I know this is about Samsung cloud, but does anyone know if this is a backup of messages?

I got pretty much everything back except my messages. Well, actually i got one message back from my old note 7???

Re-enabling apps for me didn't do the trick. It went higher this time though! It gets stuck at 83% now... I'm not sure what I did to break it, but Maybe its just because im on Verizon...

[Win/Mac/Linux] One-Click Custom Rom installer

Hey guys, I'm looking for some testers for my Free-Droid application. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux and is perfectly compatible with the Galaxy S5.
This software should be most useful to people new to custom rom installation. It takes from you the hassle of looking for TWRP and a Rom, it downloads everything for you (including magisk, microG and F-Droid) and does all the flashing on autopilot. For those users starting from scratch, it also helps setting up the drivers on windows machines.

You can download the application from the original/general thread here.
Feel free to leave some feedback or suggestions for improvement.

@imska have already posted on your main thread. .....
As far as the "Odin" look. Well, Odin, is much easier to read. Seems that some things, are Under others. As if the display is 1 size, with more info to actually have space for. (e.g. In Expert- towards the bottom , " -install google sync" is actually, Under the words "Only change these setting if you really know what you are doing" ! So yes, need to clean up this Free-Droid a bit.
What is confusing a bit, is where to work and where to look. Terminal has all the major things running like Passwords, IS the phone connected, etc.
one more Issue... Info- Sprint Galaxy S5 (SM-G900P Sprint KTLEDV ); Currently, Running LineageOS 16.0 (build date 22Jul19) w/Magsik!
Terminal says I am running a custom Rom. The Free-Droid Windows says that it does not know how to deal with my phone....
So Do I take that it only works with "Stock" images?
Oh, On Github, I did not see the galaxy S5 code name KTLEDV in your approved list??? could that be the issue here? Just not added into the system?
Hopefully you can get this cleaned up. Willing to try test it out again.
Just give me a shout, when you have a newer build out....
Tanx

Thanks for testing!
It does not need a new build to fix device detection... I did not know of a SM-G900P variant of the S5, but I just added it to the codename lookup table. Now it should recognize your device as the kltedv and know how to deal with it. The tool finds LineageOS, RR and AEX for the kltedv
Unfortunately, there is no official release of TWRP for kltedv and therefore Free-Droid will not be able to install stuff if a user is still running stock rom. Which TWRP do you use and where can I find it?
About the terminal output:
The stuff that gets printed there is just logging. You can just ignore it. A terminal window does not even open on windows or mac. Entering sudo password in terminal is only relevant for linux users and could only be avoided by setting up udev rules...
The "running custom rom" detection is there for the tool to decide whether to look for a TWRP image or not. So in your case, the tool should work now. For other kltedv users running stock, I will need to add a TWRP image to my archive.
Window layout / text positioning:
I have no idea why things do not display like in my screenshots... Can I send you a .jar to test if the layout is better?

Hey there! Please, was not "*****ing nor Complaining" about your app. Had read this thread, and the Link to another. Only had 1 person say it worked. I am always on the lookout for just about anything, that makes me life a bit easier!
Was on me laptop, Toshiba P55 (15" 1080 screen, no touch, 4th gen i5, 16GB Ram, and 1TB SSD running upto date Ubuntu 18.04.02) and was not running any other programs ( I had seen that I would have to use Terminal for password. That's OK with me, like a bit of control. Had some error there, popped up twice, both times trying to run it. Before asking about password. Everything seemed OK from there.
But the layout was not as Pictured in Pic 3, in the OP.
Oh, me phone. Actually I am on Virgin Mobile, which is that same the Galaxy S5 from Sprint on same network. TRWP, currently on build 3.2.2, there is a newer build out, but this still works well, believe it came out back March or April of this year.
I just thought, that it needed a bit better layout, so others, do really get into a mess by missing a line or 2. That would stink!
IF you would like me to test something, I am "OK" with that. Just send through PM message.
I can see, how this really can be nice, am not sure where it looks for ROMs and such.

No hurt feelings. Can you please replace the Free-Droid.jar file in the "bin" folder of the application with this one and report back if the layout in the expert pane is still messy? And you could help me investigate the issues on startup if you click "Report bug" in the help pane of the application and send me the created zip with the log files.
Thanks

You asked about an email. Did you want that sent through the link on your other thread (something like bug at Free-Droid) Or a PM here through XDA?
Asking, ahead of time, have yet tested. Will be very soon, but, because I am not sure where to send you an email.

Edit- Forgot to throw Git-Lab into the mix, as places to report any sort of Bug. (yep, I always try and look up what ever Srcipt, On Github, Git-Lab, and/or LineageOS Gerrit!)

Hi,
I'm looking to install the kitkat 4.4 os onto my samsung galaxy s5 and was very excited to see your new app written for people like me with not much experience in doing this sort of thing.
I thought it would be a good idea as there is a lot of apps on my phone that i don't use and I can't uninstall them and I'm running out of room.
Unfortunately this program couldn't detect my phone after plugging it in to my computer via usb and following the instructions to turn on debugging via usb.
Here are my phone and machine specs:
samsung galaxy s5
SM-G900I
Android Version 6.0.1
Baseband version G900IDVU1CQD1
I'm using windows 7 to install
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.

Alright. I am a noob that has been reading the forums for a long minute. I have no idea what I am doing as far as flashing, rooting and customization goes... and I need to learn. So instead of using my S8+ I have decided to use my old beloved S5 as my test subject to try and understand what is what ect, ect, ect.
Is this a good place to start? I have a MacBook Pro I can use and/or a Lenovo with Windows 10 that I can use as well. I guess I am hoping that maybe I can get a Thumbs up from someone that this may be a good place to start.
I can do my best to report any thing back if it might help...
Thanks.

It depends on what you aim for... If you just would like to install lineageos on your S5 then you're welcome to use free-droid for that. If you would like to really understand what everything means and how things work, I think free-droid might not be the right starting point, because it is meant to hide all the (more or less) complicated stuff from the user and make the installation as easy and convenient as possible.
If you choose to use it and something does not work as expected, you're welcome to report back here.

If you are on windows then this is very likely a problem with drivers. Have you tried the "still not detecting" link below the instructions?

For those of you who also own a Sony device: Free-Droid is now compatible with Sony devices!
0.7.5 update should also fix an issue for some variants of the Galaxy S5 like the kltedv (SM-G900P)

Question Why so many good features have to be installed from Galaxy Store?

I just do not get it, there are so much good things in software but why for gods sake they have to be installed from galaxy labs? I have the phone for couple of months, just now discovered that we have something like sound assistant, keys cafe and many more. Why Samsung can't just add those features into the build?

Others are complaining Sammy puts in too much.... Now the choice is yours whether or not to install!

People complain about apps and the inability to remove them.
goodlock and stuff are just features in the sense some of them could just be implemented in the core features of the OS.
for example I just use Keys Cafe to remove the WWW option from the samsung keyboard as its annoying because it makes the space bar smaller and end up hitting the dot everytime.

That's my point, all of those features should be available in OS natively. Such a stupid thing, when we have submenu for lets say Keyboard and we have to install additional application to add just 4 options, same thing with sound. Full submenu, but things like Bluetooth delay etc must be added by additional application. It just doesn't make sense, even if they are "afraid" that some people may "brake" the phone, just add something like advanced options and put all of those features there, and they could be even turned on/off by flipping single button in options.

1. Power users dislike bloat and what you are wishing for will translate to bloat or unneeded features for people who do not use it or need it. TouchWiz all over again.
2. Apps used to be included into the ROM update which caused delays for bug fixes and new features being available to users so updates are faster via the app stores
3. You don't need to use the Galaxy Store if you don't want to. All Samsung apks are a search away on apkmirror.com. They can also auto update if you install their app

I ask why "Good Lock" is not available in my country?
Why only in USA?

Don't know what your country is, but Good Lock is available in Galaxy Store in Europe too, for sure in The Netherlands. Check Galaxy store not Play Store.

You do not get the point. Most of those functions should be built into ROM. Not as apps, even I didn't know that some of them exist...
Also blending them into rom will not make it sluggish, not sure where did you get this from but you are wrong

He is right.
You have the choice to install it if you want to.
For the ones who do not, they don't have anything to do.
It's better and easier this way around.
For example, the only add-on I use is One Hand Operation, so I'm not gonna be glad if I find 200 other options and don't know how to turn them off.

I have to install all of them and now what? Many people do not even know that such things exist. Still not understound how lack of function can be better, even if they add them you still can use only the ones you want...

That's a lot of functionalities that could be bugged, use resources, be turned on... etc...
This is not a lack if you can install them.
I understand your point but you have to understand that Samsung's are designed for everyone, not power users.
Those people do not want options, they just want a working phone out of the box. They can be lost if they have too many thing to understand.
So if you want more, you can, that's all you need to know.

Wellness for me your arguments make 0 sense as you miss one basic thing which I mentioned twierdzi. People do not know that such things exist! Also thats why we have Beta tests so they can fix bugs. But nice 1200usd Phone and we must install additional functions form the stare, where we do not even know ghat they exist. On top of that, 90% of those functions existed 10 years ago in Cyanogenmod mod made by amateurs during free time...

Once again, I don't know why you are complaining.
You know that they exist, so install every module you want and that's it.
You want a system where everything is already there, but maybe some are not okay with that.

1. I am complaining as those options should be melt into system by default, there is nothing preventing them from doing it.
2. I know NOW, but terenie was no info anywhere that such options can be added so plenty of people do not know about them.
3. I would like to know why they do not want them by default. Lets say I do not want AoD build info rom. Can we have it removed and have it available as app in galaxy stare? Seriously think, if you have an option YOU DO NOT have to use it, so how someone might say "I do not want to have optional thing in my phone", what a strange logic or lack of it.

It's probably to reduce space as not everyone is going to use all the goodlock modules. If they were built into the system users would be angry at the fact they are taking up storage and resources when it's much better to have the goodlock app and choose what you want.

100mb more when phones have 128GB+ and Rom itself is 4gb? There are so many bloatware apps which cannot be uninstalled and you think it is to save the space lol? Heh that make so much sense.

Exactly, there's already so many bloatware apps so why add more by adding goodlock and all its modules.

But they would not be an bloatware but rather system functions. I się noone complain a about and, Dolby etc

What if Samsung would put a list of those apps with a short description both in the User manual and one app on the desktop to control installing the extras.

Question Any hope for forcing 120 hz mode? (+100$ Bounty)

It's really annoying that there's these framedrops all over the software, and the phone never runs a 100 percent smooth because of it.
Snapchat and YouTube are the worst in my opinion. Ir's gibberish mix from 60 to 120 hz and it makes the phone feel incredibly slow and bugged.
I searched everywhere, tried every little thing to force 120 hz, like it was possible on OxygenOS 11 still.
No mod is working anymore. What a dealbreaker to be honest.
Do any of you think that there is hope? I saw in this AndroidPolice post at the end that arter97 ("AutoHz") might have found a fix for Android 12 and will update the app sooner or later. That was almost 5 months ago now though.
Any hope? I'd go that far to set up a bounty of 100$ for anyone who can provide a working fix.

You can already do this, there's a mod for it..have had it installed, just can't remember where it is.

No way?! Wow you're a life saver! No idea how I overlooked that lol. Does it have to be set up every reboot or not? And do you think it will have a huge negative impact in battery life?
Also dm me ur paypal I'll give you 10$ for the help

@dladz sry for pinging but you seem to know quiet some stuff abt the 10 pro. one other issue is really bugging me.
whenever I use an app like chrome, gmail etc... and leave the app with the "home button" (to keep it in ram), then revisit the app 10 seconds later, I will be greeted with the splash screen and the app acts like I just now opened it.
it won't stay open in the background it seems.
any help for that?

No worries man.
But yep I'm having the same issue buddy, seems like the close apps for saving battery is super aggressive, I have the same issue when I'm trying to copy days from one's app to another..
Really haven't found a fix as yet..13 is exactly the same.. It's absolutely pants mate.
Maybe a way to push the content to remain but I've just put up with it if I'm being honest.

I totally agree dude..I would gladly swap my 8 pro back for this, the photocrom lens, the ROMs, the performance, battery life. Even the XDA forums are laid out better.
Severe miscalculation

In other words, "Mistakes were made."

2 methods to Forcely Enable 120hz or any you wish..
1. Install Lsposed from Magisk
2. In LSposed Install "Lucky Tool" for Oneplus
3. Enable Scope for Recommend Apps and Reboot
4. Select You desired refresh rate at xx Resolution..

I get told that when I jump into an abyss on BO3

Using this app since long, works perfect. Select the 1st option, if 120 hz is not sticking just select the 2nd option and then select the 1st option back.

Another way : you just need to run a command with root previlege every reboot (which can be easily automated with magisk)
Code:
service call SurfaceFlinger 1035 i32 13
On my 8T, I use a magisk module to force 120Hz. But 10Pro have different display modes so this module itself won't work. You need to check display modes by running command
Code:
dumpsys SurfaceFlinger | grep hwcId
this is the output from 9Pro.
edit the service.sh inside the module to choose display mode id you like
Also, set persist.oplus.display.vrr=0 to reduce some frame drops (module also does that)
I think this method can be used on any android device if you can get root but haven't tested myself.

Thank you but I find the option that dladz gave, a bit more convenient. Good to know though, that there's multiple options!
One thing, do you know any fix for the agressive background killing of apps? It bugs me so much that apps like chrome or gmail are closed withing literal seconds after I leave them.
I already tried disabling every possible optimisation but it didn't help.
