Hi guys! Please, I need urgent help!

My phone doesn't show anything, but black screen and power menu. Right before that I've been using Waze and Google Maps and suddenly screen turned rose color and didn't react. So I rebooted it, but then I have only boot animation and black screen. Phone is still receiving messages, led indicator works, but I don't see anything. I wiped both Caches, flashed rom in dirty way with gapps - still the same. Don't want to wipe data, would like to save SMS messages firstly and some other stuff. Please, maybe there is any workaround? Maybe through TWRP Terminal? Maybe I can replace some corrupted files?

Considering it's kind of UI problem here is a note. Few days ago I've installed Material Design theme and applied it. Maybe this caused problems or affected ROM somehow.

Thanks guys, please help, basically I'm with no phone right now =(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Ledanur:
some layers are known to do that.

There are a few solutions posted back a few pages.

If I recall correctly, you need to delete the layers folder using the recovery's file explorer
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Morikara:
Thanks, I guess I found the answer, but I don't see any folders under system folder through a File Manager (TWRP 3.0). Did I miss something?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] markiarom:
Go to /vendor/overlay and see if layer's apks are here
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Morikara:
That's a thing. I don't see folder overlay anywhere. In root I see system, but it looks empty. I wish there was search in TWRP File Manager. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 3mel:
the last thing your system folder should be is empty.

if you have a laptop, maybe look at an ABD tutorial and delete those files via computer...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Morikara:
I understand and it's pretty weird. Looks like either the content of system is restricted from view or it doesn't exist, bc I don't see it even from terminal.

Reinstalling the system (dirty). Will try to make this folders under system appear.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gadget!:
Go into twrp and mount system, you should then be able to see the files in twrp file manager.

The layers folder is:

system/vendor/overlay

That was my initial thought as well... So I re-flashed the most recent official Touchwiz firmware (OK3 BL/BB, released mid-December 2015) before testing this JDC AOSP ROM again. Same results ... no 5 GHz. This issue appears to be unique to this ROM, as I am easily able to connect to my 5 GHz AP with all other ROMs I've tested (CM12.1, CM13 and AOSP 5.1.1 based). I've read that the M919 radio is different from other GS4 radios due to supporting T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling. So I am just wondering if possibly the combination of OK3 BB and M919 create issues with this ROM (i.e. the added security in OK3 BB requires different process calls to the driver?). It certainly is confusing, as I know that 5 GHz works for some people but not for others.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Which theme did you install? If you haven't installed one, I don't believe there would be an overlay folder.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gadget!:
More than likely when you dirty flashed it wiped your system folder.

Also, I just noticed on my phone I have two vendor folders and both have the overlay folder, it appears to be identical in content.

/system/vendor/overlay

and

/vendor/overlay

Not sure why it's duplicated.

I don't see overlay folder anywhere =(

Maybe I have to edit some files or manually delete some folders which refers to layers and themes?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FPSUsername:
There are multiple pointer locations because you can't write to the real location. This is security stuff, just ignore the duplication, /system/vendor/overlay is the one you can touch safely (remove all overlays through recovery if bootloop occures by incompatible overlays)

I'm assuming the latter post suggesting flashing back to stock first is required. without a laptop though I'd need to have some confidence of TWRP 3.0 surviving the flash. I have enabled system partition read/write. your thoughts ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rhoban:
Don't use Mobile Odin. I bricked my device trying to flash a new modem.

It will wipe your OS and your recovery. So you will need a PC to fix it. Otherwise you're stuck with an unusable phone.

You could use Flashfire. It's the successor of Mobile Odin. But that app requires you to have a stock rom in order to flash a modem. Why? Because on custom roms, the modem and bootloader partitions are write protected. Only on stock roms will they become writable.

Maybe touchwhiz based custom roms will unlock those partitions too. I don't know. But it probably won't, since a custom recovery turns the firmware status to custom.

So, either way, you will need a PC, laptop or Mac.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gadget!:
I don't know about the i9505 but I am on Verizon (i545) MDK bootloader and I have always been able to flash different modems using TWRP.

I have not had any WiFi issues so I just checked my baseband version and realized I was still using the MDK modem (do to a bad TWRP 3.0 install I had to Odin back to stock).

I just flashed the OC1 modem for my phone in TWRP and updated my modem to OC1.

I still dont know how to change the app drawer background to a darker colour.

I will try x-plore though. Tree and branch sounds nice.

I have noticed that i get no signal in my cousins house where i used to get 2 bars. Thats annoying and i have to sit by the window if i have a chance of getting any signal or sit outside

I opened snapchat and a pink screen apeared. Had to remove battery.

Now, when I turn on my device, after android logo/animation, the screen is black. Phisical keys works and If I long-press Power button, I can see the power menu.

But I can do nothing more :/

I deleted cache and doesnt work. What can I do now? (Without formatting)

We had already solutions for proximity sensor problems in this thread, but here again:

If your proximity sensor seems not to work, try the following:

1. Blow pressurized air into the front speaker (proximity sensor sits right beside it and dirt could sneak in that way)

2. If 1 does not help, try "Proximity Fix" from Play Store and reboot.

3. If 1 and 2 don't help, open a terminal app like "Terminal Emulator", grant in super user rights and type

$ echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal

$ echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal

$ chown system:system /efs/prox_cal

$ chmod 644 /efs/prox_cal

$ sync

and reboot.

Encryption still doesn't work

Hello everyone,

I have an issue with the encryption of my i9505. The ROM (8th February build) works just fine (with TWRP 3.0.0).

The problem is related to the encryption: I encrypted the phone using the native android encryption tool without any issue, worked fine until the reboot. After the encryption the boot screen appears and right after that I am asked to provide the sequence to unlock the phone. After successfully unlocking the phone the boot screen appears again, this time looping forever.

I tried to reboot without fixing the issue. Tried to wipe cache/dalvik from recovery but no change is made.

TWRP seems to decrypt the storage correctly, so the data should be intact.

I searched in the thread but no answers are given to encryption issues (for this build).

Any idea how to solve it?

Many thanks!

ok so was on this rom for a while and was getting 7.5 mbit speed over 4g and I thought hey they have put some limit and today I reverted to stock rom and found out that I was getting 20 mbits+ on same location same config same everything, something to look at, also on this rom I have 1 bar "better" signal then on stock but now I know it's fake since it's waaaay slower for some reason
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] -Deco-:
Sorry to say that the ROM cannot limit download speeds over 4G, or even Wi-Fi for that matter. This is entirely down to your own experience. Your more likely to get a better signal on this ROM, it is not "fake". If it is being slow, then that is on your own end.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chibbo:
nope, only on this rom I have this limit and never thought it could be rom related so I didn't bother to check, now that I did, was flashing roms the whole day and only on this one I get slow 4g, well not only this one, on every mm rom so I see a pattern here

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

A lot of people have this problem... but this is not related to the ROM itself... it's a problem of "age" of the phone... dusty stuff go into the phone and false the proximity sensor capability... I suggest anyway to open the phone (youtube is full of video to show how to do easyly and safely), and "remove" the source of the problem... not blowing air from outside and recalibrating the sensor (that can work for a month)...

The age of the hardware is giving a lot of signals and malfunctioning... is up to us to detect these signals and act in the best way to "regerate" the best status.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Der-Knuffi:
Well, my sensor worked well until I installed JDC's 5.1 and I had to recalibrate it, as pressurized air and opening and cleaning did not help ... same again with AOSP 6.0 ... so there has at least to be a reason for that.
