THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I waited so long for cm/lineage. I actually wanted to sell my phone because of TouchWiz. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!
Does it work good now? It is important that my phone works but I also like experimenting
We don have a phone to check. But the developer has done the good work by bringing the old S5 Neo into new life. So why not try it and report us back.
I’m experiencing the following issues:
Microphone records slow and unclear (Recorder & WhatsApp)
Video is not working (Camera & WhatsApp) you can record but it won’t be saved
Speaker mode on calls: Microphone not working (Bluetooth speaker as well not)
Formatting an sd card as internal storage returns with a Java error.
Please contact me by email if you have any questions: me@leonard-niehaus.de

Speak with HP not working (ver 31/05/2017)
Hi Kim, are you sure that it is not working? I am asking because in the official version of lineage, you have to enable “transfer files” when you pull down the status bar. (Device has to be connected to your computer to do this step.) I can not reach my hp either with my Galaxy s5 (official lineage) when the option “transfer files” is not enabled. Just in case you did not know that. It is of course possible that there really is a problem in this version, I have not tried it.
