Original source code repositories:
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.
-
DO NOT install
recovery.img
. LineageOS Recovery is horrible, TWRP is great. Use TWRP. Thanks. If you mistakenly installrecovery.img
anyway, getting rid of it requires use of heimdall to flash back TWRPrecovery.img
(heimdall flash --RECOVERY <twrp-recovery>.img
) -
Install only contents of LineageOS zip file
lineage-18.1-YYYYMMDD-UNOFFICIAL-s5neolte.zip
using TWRP -
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 Android6.0.1
preinstalled on your phone. Otherwise you get errors for missing files.
-
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. Extractzip
andtar.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 usingheimdall
, 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 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
-
WARNING: Use absolutely correct, Samsung provided files in
heimdall
command. Otherwise the flash process may fail and you end up with a bricked phone. -
Flashing
USERDATA
is not necessary
-

-
-
You may build parts of LineageOS using
mm
andmmm
commands after sourcingbuild/envsetup.sh
-
This is useful for partial patches
-
For instance, building only
Dialer
APK, runmmm packages/apps/Dialer
in lineage source root dir
-
-
If in any case, you get error message
cmd: unknown variable '$(PATH_OVERRIDE_SOONG)'
, runbreakfast <lunch-command-option>
command at Lineage OS source directory root again before issuing any other commands. Runningbreakfast
command can take 10-15 minutes without any visible progress displayed -
Before starting Lineage OS, you may need to wipe cache & Dalvik cache in TWRP (
Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> [Dalvik / ART Cache, Cache]
)
No, do not use /system/etc/init.d/
or look for such folders. Simply put your boot time scripts into /data/adb/service.d/
folder, set their owner to root:root
and permission bits to 0700
. You may give less restrictive permissions at your own risk. Default owner of these scripts seems to be root:shell
. You may use TWRP to set owner & permission information.
Optionally, folder /data/adb/post-fs-data.d/
may be used, as well.
Disable Captive Portal on startup.
Replaces Google DNS servers with 127.0.0.1
and ::1
addresses.
See: patch_localhost-dns_ntp_gps.patch, and the article Fjortek.com - Enforced, encrypted, self-hosted DNS solution for Android devices.
Replaces built-in, prebuild Google Chromium webview with Bromite webview.
See: chromium-webview/Android.mk
1) Download privacy friendly simple-keyboard and put source files into a new folder packages/inputmethods/simple-keyboard/
2) Use Android Studio to compile the simple-keyboard
from source code (unsigned APK, because platform
certificate is used during AOSP build process). Once done, go to the next step.
3) Get Android.mk and CleanSpec.mk for simple-keyboard. Put the files into the root folder of downloaded simple-keyboard
source files.
4) Remove default input method LatinIME
from AOSP 11 compilation process by commenting out lines
PRODUCT_PACKAGES += \
LatinIME
in build/make/target/product/handheld_product.mk
5) You need to add lines
PRODUCT_PACKAGES += \
SimpleKeyboard
into some .mk
file of your choice.
