The LineageOS Project supports the LineageOS Android Distribution LOS 16.0 for Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus (kccat6) since August 2020. accordingly local_manifests / roomservice.xml are available.

Unfortunately TWRP 3.2.3-0 from July 2018 is not quite as fresh as it used to be, but it works.

Thank you @itsclarence for investing knowledge and time to build an up-to-date /e/ OS ROM for this great device. The next update may already contain the microG Services Core version 0.2.12.203315 ;-))

Ripee build TWRP 3.4.0-0 for kccat6.
You might give it a try in the future.

@itsclarence, thanks for the hint. Well, ripee is no stranger to me. This TWRP build is not his first.

His TWRP 3.4.0-0 ā€œsomething new to playā€, released yesterday evening at 20:41, is not (yet) officially on the TWRP.me website, so itā€™s still an unofficial version. I will definitely try his ā€œgame versionā€.

First I installed @ ripeeā€™s unofficial twrp-3.4.0-0-kccat6.img with the official TWRP 3.2.3-0. At first sight it works, but I had the impression that a reboot-to-recovery (verification) is a little bit delayed.

As a result twrp-3.4.0-0-kccat6.img.tar was flashed. In this case a Reboot-to-Recovery (verification) was executed a little bit faster as I know it from other TWRP versions.

Maybe my senses are wrong and I should get some fresh air and go for a walk.

LineageOS Gerrit: kccat6 seems to be ready for LineageOS 18.0 ā€¦

New update eOS-Pie for the S5 Plus.
Including january security patch.

eOS-Pie for the S5 Plus possible? Or do you have to stop your ROMbuilding as well then?

Lineage OS ends support for Android 9. A total of 24 Android devices lose support for Lineage OS. A post on Github indicates that Lineage OS is ending official support for Android 9-based version 16.

If there are people who will be contributing to keep developing this device in future, I can update now and then. Thatā€™s no problem. But my fear is this device will be forgotten. There is not much activity around this phone.

Regards Edwin

As the others glued devices ( s6, s7, s8, s9 ) that you cannot repair by yourself without specials tools, the s5 series will be shortly abandoned by their users.
I warmly recommend the Galaxy s4

Yeah Edwin,
I saw this answer coming. That said, the SM-G901F (Snapdragon 805) is noticeably faster than the SM-G900F (Snapdragon 801). The camera of the ā€˜kccat6ā€™ also works with the Open camera Camera2 API app. Both are IP67 dust/water resistant despite the removable battery. Too bad.

The last (final) LineageOS 16.0 build is dated 11.02.2021. A final /e/ OS 'Pā€™ie with Android Security Patch Level 5 March 2021 would be a fitting departure for the S5+ and a welcome gift from you to all of us kccat6ā€™users.

Is it okay to flashed the rom using 3.2 TWRP?

twrp 3.2.x-x is designed for devices shipped with Android 8 or less
G901F was shipped with Android 6, so it is ok.

Sir Iā€™d forgot to download GApps is it okay not to download it?
