LineageOS 18.1 patches & tweaks for Samsung S5 Neo (s5neolte)

This repository has the following patches such as:

  • Enable NFC service

  • Bypass safe volume warning dialog

  • Enable call recording

Original source code repositories:

Usage

Follow Lineage OS for Samsung S5 Neo guide until brunch s5neolte command. Before issuing that command, you need to put files of this repository in place.

Some notes about the official LineageOS build guide

  • DO NOT install recovery.img. LineageOS Recovery is horrible, TWRP is great. Use TWRP. Thanks. If you mistakenly install recovery.img anyway, getting rid of it requires use of heimdall to flash back TWRP recovery.img (heimdall flash --RECOVERY <twrp-recovery>.img)

  • Install only contents of LineageOS zip file lineage-18.1-YYYYMMDD-UNOFFICIAL-s5neolte.zip using TWRP

  • I use ccache with setting 10G

  • You may already have repo command pre-installed on your system

  • Use command repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-18.1

  • ./extract-files.sh commands relative to LineageOS source dir:

    • device/samsung/universal7580-common/extract-files.sh

    • device/samsung/s5neolte/extract-files.sh

    • Both must be executed

  • In order to ./extract-files.sh commands fully succeed, you must have Samsung Android 6.0.1 preinstalled on your phone. Otherwise you get errors for missing files.

LineageOS requirements for s5neolte

  • If you have original Samsung Android OS installed, it must be version 6.0.1. LineageOS installation on phones using older Android versions (5.1.1, etc.) simply fails.

    • If you do not have Android 6.0.1 , get official Samsung update with samloader. Extract zip and tar.md5 files, until you get all required .img and .bin files. Flash extracted .bin and .img files with heimdall

      • Samloader Arch Linux PKGBUILD (AUR)

      • Take backup with TWRP before issuing heimdall commands

      • Relevant files are as follows: boot.img, system.img, userdata.img, cm.bin, param.bin, sboot.bin, modem.bin, cache.img, hidden.img

        • If you use custom recovery such as TWRP, do not flash recovery.img

        • File S5NEOLTE_<XXX>_OPEN.pit is a partition definition file. You may extract one directly from your phone using heimdall, as well.

      • You must patch heimdall to successfully flash your Samsung S5 Neo phone. Compile heimdall, and apply patch file misc/heimdall/patch_filepartindex.patch. See this GitHub issue for details.

      • Heimdall source code: GitHub - alexax66/Heimdall

      • Heimdall Arch Linux PKGBUILD

      • Heimdall usage and command explanations: SAMMobile - [Firmware]Restoring Stock Firmware with Heimdall

      • Heimdall flash command for Samsung S5 Neo: heimdall flash --BOOT boot.img --SYSTEM system.img --USERDATA userdata.img --CM cm.bin --PARAM param.bin --BOOTLOADER sboot.bin --RADIO modem.bin --CACHE cache.img --HIDDEN hidden.img

Additional tips

  • You may build parts of LineageOS using mm and mmm commands after sourcing build/envsetup.sh

    • This is useful for partial patches

    • For instance, building only Dialer APK, run mmm packages/apps/Dialer in lineage source root dir
