Cm12 - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why would anyone want to run CM and loose Fingerprint scanner and Heart rate those are jey signature features of the phone can anyone add them to the S5 CM12

Because maybe not all bought the phone because of those features.
They wont be integrated into CM, they can't.

Because I don't use those features. The only reason I'm still on Omega is because it's easier to pair with my Gear.

You can still use the heart rate sensor just have to use a third party app like Runtastic...

Not possible on anything but Touchwiz roms. If you are just looking for a heart rate sensor then there are apps in the playstore that pretty much duplicate that feature. Just do a search.
Possible, but it will need a lot of work, a LOT code porting hehe

For the S4 this has been already done:

I would also be very keen on seeing this port for the [email protected]

Use Samsung hardware on cm11

Is anyone working on a fingerprint lock for cm11? Also any apps that use the native heart sensor? My ocd is having a conflict here, compulsively I want the beat performance but I also want the unique features of the hardware to be used
Not unless Samsung releases the source for those sensors. Other than that it'll never happen

Fingerprint reader is not working on any cm12 based ROMS; you'll need to use one of the samsung based roms if you wanna use the fingerprint reader.

Does this still apply anymore? CM12.1 has been receiving fingerprint updates recently .
I have been wondering about the same thing. But i think they are just experimenting and testing to be prepared for the release of "Android M". And i hope someone can implement it.

They are missing because of no driver source released by Samsung.

What ROM should I use and a question about which S5 version?

Hey, I'm getting an S5.
I know this has been asked a ton of times, but I'm not sure if my decision is right. I want to use the phone mainly as a music player, but I do want to (if possible) use pretty much every feature there, such as the fingerprint sensor and maybe even the heart rate sensor. Could the fingerprint sensor be used as a button when not needed to unlock something?
I also want most, if not all of the camera quality there is. I'm currently considering the PhoeniX ROM as it seems to have everything I'm looking for.
But are there any alternatives?
Also, is it inherently bad if I get an unlocked version of a carrier S5, instead of a G900F?
I used lineage os for 5 months and I was fine except for the camera and the battery. now I use nemesis reborn from a few days but I feel great now I am waiting for lineage 15.1 stable. regards.

Which custom ROM? So many need help choosing

Hi
I love the note 4, and always regretted the upgrades I got, the note 4 was my swiss army knife and the hardware features really went down year on year.
So, I'm going to ditch my Note 20 Ultra and return to the Note 4.
But, like everyone I want the Holy Grail - a fast modern ROM that also has all sensors and functions working like UV sensor, barometer and IR blaster.
I'm working long hours with the health service on Covid projects and don't have time to eat never mind wade through the ROM section.
Is there such a thing, or is there a non-rooted way to pep the device up without hammering the battery life?
I say non-rooted as I have to keep some apps that detect root and so unless there's a truly reliable method of concealing it I need to keep away from the pleasures of root.
Thanks
Joe
had the afternoon off, I can't see a single custom rom with uv sensor support. I've tried 2and a manual install of the apk to use it but it doesn't work.
is stock the only thing i can use? any debloaters that are good?
Hya Joe Bongo. I have been on the quest as well for a ROM - not a PERFECT ROM - but PERFECT FOR ME ROM. I have been messing with CrDroid and straight up Lineage 17/18.
The good news is that I use the IR blaster all the time! In fact I have kept thru TB a static copy of the PEEL remote control app but also using aSmart Remote app. I find good sucess with both roms but CrDroid is a little bit more customizable but otherwise very similar. I am runing a Sprint N910P and really the only problems I am having is SMS over LTE and FitBit sync but can't be too critical becuase I think it is a 3rd party problem more than a ROM problem.
Let me know how your search goes!

Well I've looked some more and can't see anything that will let me use the UV sensor. This may be a fool's errand living in the UK cos the weather is so rubbish, but I wanted to make sure I could use all the toys on the phone.
I've gone back to a stock BTU rom on the 910F. It's definitely slower than Lineage and the other one I tried, but the UV sensor works. On the custom ROMs I tried the 3rd party UV app by moletag but it crashed so I figured that meant thre needed to be something in the ROM to enable its use.
Really frustrating, it looks like I might need some form of stripped out stock ROM or something to achieve my goal.

May I ask what you mean by UV sensor? I wasnt thinking and thought you meant the IR blaster but I am curious what or how the UV sensor is being used.
