Hello,
I still use my S5 as my only phone.
So far I'm pretty happy with it, but as Samsung gave up support quite some time ago, I'm asking myself it there is a solution to get security updates again.
The problem: I really want to keep MHL support and as far as I could find out, LineageOS doesn't have MHL on the S5.
Are there other (actively developed) projects that offer some updated Android OS for the S5 with MHL support?
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I ordered a S5 and got the smartphone yesterday. However, I was suprised that it actually is a S5+ (G901F).
My first reaction was: Nice, I even got more than I wanted, but my second thought was: Is the Custom ROM support for the S5+ as good as for the S5?
I definitely want to install the Cyanogen Mod!
My research in this forum seems to confirm my worries. There is only an unofficial version of this mod right?
And isn't the support for the "main" version (-> S5) always better than for sub versions like the S5+?
I am thinking about to make a complaint in order to get the S5.
What would you, the far more experienced, do?

try this, almost same as cm but some more options, and official support

I wonder you went with Samsung and S5 if cyanogenmod is important to you. Samsung's phobea I had or still have are Galaxy Nexus, S 3(i9305 LTS with 2 GB of RAM) ,4 i9505, 5 (900f), Note 2, 3 and you can guess which is the only one with decent CM support.
I have still not tried CM on S5, but I definitely am on S3 and 4, and it has never worked really well. Bearable but not well. And as far as I can see it is the same situation with S5. There are issues with wifi and Bluetooth, camera as usual is not supported because they keep they TW shut for them self. I would like to be wrong here, because I prefer anything AOSP based to Touchwiz, but the problem was I didn't have much choice when I took S5.
For me, the killer feature of the Cyanogen Mod is the individual rights management which I can configure for every app.
@ad0dh67: Does Dokdo also have this opportunity?
@!crazy: I see your point, but this is too late now I guess
The initial question remains the same: Is the Cyanogen Mod version for the S5 better / more stable than for the S5+?

Thank you.
Hey everyone,
I ordered a Samsung Gear S3, and currently own a stock Samsung S7 Edge, which has been annoying me quite a bit lately. After looking around, it seemed like stang5litre's ROM looks pretty good, however, I am worried that by doing this upgrade, will I lose functionality on the watch, such as Samsung Pay/MST? Does anyone currently own this watch, paired with a rooted phone? If so, can you please provide your experience with this?
Also, as a side question, is it suggested that I wait for Nougat to be released or rooting and installing ROM is the way to go?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!
So i have the gear s3 and a rooted att s7 on Echoe rom. The samsung pay actually works on the watch. when you set it up in the watch it opens up on your phone to scan cards in and doesn't complain about being rooted or such unlike normal samsung pay. I have tested it once with the watch and it did work. all other functionality works fine. If you have any questions let me know
Head over to the Samsung Gear S3 forums and you'll see all sorts of members saying how Samsung Pay works with root on the Gear. It's actually a question I asked on those forums and I think a lot of people were happy to find out pretty much any rooted phone worked.
I was wondering isnt there any developer working on a Lineage OS 16 rom for our beloved phone. I mean Galaxy s9 Has, but don't we?!
Not really. There are no developers investing time and efforts in the Galaxy S8. Maybe, some lucky day we will get lineage os 16 on our S8, but that will be after the S8 recieves the pie update and samsung releases their kernel source code for it.
The S9 has LineageOS because it has treble. Google it to find out more. Treble makes it a lot more easier for devices to be developed on and appear more appealing to the developers. Personally I have no hope we will recieve LineageOS ever
Cross your finger for Samsung giving the Galaxy S8 Treble support in the Pie update...

This device was out when Treble was starting out, they'd have added it to Oreo by now if they wanted it to support Treble...
They're not gonna give an incentive to buy one of their old phones.

There is a "guy" but since everyone who started making ROMs , scammed people on money , I wouldn't expect anything . There is lineageos15 almost bugless . Newest build had ril working and most of stuff WITHOUT sound working on speaker and GPS. Sound was working only with headphones. But I don't have a link 4 it . I have link 4 lineage from this https://youtu.be/2l_2f4EwQRc = no GPS , no camera , no ril, no bt and sound only come from headphones
The build in the youtube video is the build from Ivan. Ivan was the main developer for Lineage, and his newest build is the one shown in the video. He currently is not developing for the s8 as far as I know.

Hi. I have a question, but I need an answer like you're talking to a 5-year old, lol. I don't have the best tech skills.
I have a Samsung Tab4 SM-T230NU. It's still running Android version 4.4.2. Is there any possibility of upgrading this version? Some of my apps are no longer working and I suspect the version is the reason. Any help would be much appreciated. I tried a Google search and YouTube, but I couldn't find a safe and satisfactory answer.
This device has been neglected by Samsung and has not received an update in years I believe.
hi there, when we will get the one ui 2.0 custom rom for our Samsung S8 devices?
Maybe when you create it.
Not soon alteast, even I doubt that a custom ROM with OneUI 2.0 will exist lol, 2hard

S7 has OneUI 1.0 with Pie ports so if it can be done there it shouldn't be impossible here. We only need someone that can do it.

That's because the Note 7 FE (same chip as the S7/S7E) was released with Android 7 and got updated until Pie, so they didn't have to port everything to the S7/S7E by scratch, they had a base already
The problems start when you want something you got no idea of programming. People don't work on demand, they do what the like to do because the can do. And they are helpful to those who can't do it when they share their result FOR FREE! Nothing more.

Exactly, that's why I say to not have any hope for OneUI 2.0, someone have to want to work in his/her free time, on something very difficult, and for free.
I'm already grateful with LineageOS 17.1, I though I wouldn't see even 10.0 on the S8/S8+ lol
Such a shame for Samsung even the cheapest Plastic Galaxy A series are getting Android 10 one ui 2.0 and the Samsung flagship device like Galaxy S8+ is not going to get it. Plz XDA developers make a custom rom for Galaxy S8+ based on Android 10 one ui 2.0
never samsung buy again. stuck only 2 updates so sayed.
