Great work!

I now have OS16 installed successfully on my GM900I.

Initially, when enabling root access from Developer Options, I could select ‘Disable’ or ‘ADB.

After flashing (via Recovery/TWRP) the OS15.1 addonsu.zip, I can now select ‘Disable’, ‘Apps’, ‘ADB’, ‘Apps & ADB’.

However, aftern then installing Root Checker, SU# and Titanium Backup, all three apps say that root access is not enabled, even with ‘Apps & ADB’ selected.

What am I missing? Is there an addonsu.zip for OS16 that I should be using?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

P.S. This project has breathed new life into my sluggish/aging Galaxy S5! :)

I have installed 2019-01-09 unofficial version of haggert on klteduos. It works great!

Only one thing to mention: after booting, I get a message saying the is ha been signed with public keys.

Anybody with the same experience?

[Linux User]

Just installed lineage-16.0-20181006-UNOFFICIAL-klte.zip with mindthegapps arm32 on my sm-G900F.  All seems to be working fine.  Sim card found, no problems with calling, messages, 4g, …. Super ! Thanks a lot !

Usually an Official LineageOS build is signed with some private keys to keep the authenticity.
Android is being an open source codebase (hence the LineageOS is) it is possible to tamper the official builds by building it locally.

UNOFFICIAL LineageOS builds are some clear example of this. It is not guaranteed on an unofficial build that if someone has tampered it or not.

haggertk, being one of the directors of LineageOS team, despite an UNOFFICIAL build he signed it with LineageOS private keys to make it authentic build.

Hello to all that read this

the following IS 100% true and Factual !

I can state the Pie is extremely close to an “Official” build.

Still in Beta, but again, very close. I am sure, once they have it all worked out, this will be HUGE!!

Now, I have tested both of there builds. BOTH were very exciting to see, and run Pie, on my old Galaxy S5. ( Heck, have ran 13, 14 and 15 on her!! Now comes Pie! How exciting!) One thing that most users look at is… Battery. How long it will last and how many times must I recharge…. Well, Happy to say that in Pie, does contain  battery improvements. So, that is nice to say, but it is true. In my testing, I did not run a bunch of games, not into that! Reminder, is it in the Beta channel, so you will have an issue here or there.

For the most part though, they are really close to having an Official build. Not 100% as to some of the work, but know its rather hard. Plus, many many things, Samsung had never release info regarding.

In short, maybe the best build for the Galaxy S5 to date! Some my not like all the features, but some are nice to see. Am just waiting, just like all the others, for this to become “Official”. Once that is happens, I WILL flash it, and be happy!!
