I installed SFOS on the GS5 yesterday. First of all, thanks for the port @piggz.

After some playing around, I noticed that the notifications always come in very high volume, no matter what you have set in the system.

The WIFI is detected with different frequency bands, so not just one WIFI, but 2 with the same name. In addition, the system forgets the WIFI every time it is restarted.

The regular notch hacks do not work via the patch manager. It would be nice to integrate them into the system right away.

It is also noticeable that the system sometimes hangs, i.e. has a delay in reacting.

You can either go the route experimental route I linked above, but better is to wait until @piggz takes this live and then it’s simple.

Almost, but .18 !! Setting to .16 will likely break your system

I have the gs290 on 4.4.0.72 and it has a couple of advantages over the Volla22 on 4.5 (browser) … but I need to update to 4.5.0.18 testing to see if the bugs are out. Still, don’t see much reason to update the gs290 at the moment.

The difference I see between the X10 @ 4.5.0.18 and the Volla @ 4.4.0.72 is only the browser behavior on tap (click) is better on 4.5.0.18, but Browser still crashes frequently. So on Volla I use mostly Firefox / Waydroid, that is slower and doesn’t look so good as the Sailish browser but doesn’t crash.
