Guys do we get nougat in future? Note 3 and even samsung grand duos has 7.1.1

y we dont have?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Because our device is the only one that doesn't have any Official Marshmallow source code. Some exynos 5420 devices got marshmallow (easier to handle with Nougat), so the source has been adapted to others.

This means that we need to adapt an already bugged, and old, lollipop 5.0 source code. Not that easy.

Blame Samsung, they abandoned completely our CPU Exynos5410.

P.S.: I'm already trying to adapt Exynos5420 source code, the audio kernel driver has been merged just yesterday and I'm testing it. Currently this is our priority.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] SalimPS:
great news.. At the moment I have a completely useless i9500 in my house that im not using anymore so i can test anything you'd want on it :)

Drm problem

I am having problems with some programs because it is not DRM support. Can you publish and add new version? Https : //source.android . com/devices/drm.html

This is the error I am experiencing: V.3.3.8: This device does not support the required DRM scheme

And I'm not sure, but the solution is to put the files on the link that I gave on the top into the software.

My English is not very good, but I hope you understand me :)

Should I upgrade...

Hello guys,

Thanks alberto for keeping my device alive. I recently broke my screen and instead of buying a new worst phone for ~250$ I bought a screen and battery replacement for ~100$, Totally worth it.

I wanted to ask whether I should go with this ROM update(I am currently on a nightly 2015 build of CM12.1). This phone is my daily driver. Will I be able to make calls/text messages or use whatsapp/telegram messenger?

Reason for my upgrade is that I have this WiFi issue where it times out randomly, I hope it might be fixed in this version.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Revantark:
Everything is fine in the latest build. It is very stable.

And if u want to fix voip calls or ok google then flash latest fix provided some pages back. :laugh:

Currently i'm not in search for testers, thank you.

This is an early phase that requires some specific debugging, not ready for standard testing.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] daogiahieu:
How can this possible ?

I thought samsung didn't give devs source code of GT-I9500. So we can't make Li Os for it ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ammar18:
Android is open source, you can port any rom (well most of it)

You just need the source code to make it easy to port because without it you need to recreate the kernel from ground up (source codes basically act like templates for kernels to work).

That is all i know, i hope it answers your question

I have some suggestion. I saw in s7 dev forums.

They have LOS 14 for s7 but the camera is not good enough and some one port htc camera for LOS 14 for s7 and it worked better. I think if camera s4 is not good in los for s4 we can replace it by htc camera ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
You are talking about the Camera App, that's something we may consider (not sure though, it isn't open source) after the Camera Driver gets initialized properly.

As soon as i finish to reorganize all changes i made, i will release an ALPHA build. Again, no ETA, no Testers Required, and, before you ask me, this will be a Pure LineageOS build, no more GearCM or GearLineage, my plan is to make all changes compatible with the Official LineageOS guidelines. As already said, this will take time, so i plan to release this as UNOFFICIAL first, but i will do my best to get everything OFFICIAL.

Also, if there are Chinese Devs (with the Dual SIM variant) and Korean Devs (with the other more powerful variant), please leave me a PM. I plan to make this ROM compatible with all variants (of course each variant will get its own build, but a common repo will be created for all exynos5410 devices).

Stay Tuned!

Wonderful work ! Wouldn't it make more sense to start a new thread with say [GearCM][i9500][7.x.x] ... to discuss nougat related info/details ?

A couple of questions/notes,

1. The TWRP developers have noted that someone needs to update the i9500 TWRP tree as the i9500 recovery is 3-4 versions behind - any takers ?

2. Is there any interest to integrate this great work with LineageOS (LOS) ?

Its always easier for newbies to go to places like TWRP and/or LOS to find material than to search the gazillion posts on XDA.

Keep up the great work !!!

2) The answer to this question has been already posted at the end of my latest nougat status post.

Please need help!

I've being testing this ROM since a week ago, everything working fine, specially battery performance *It Was Awesome* (Greenify and Amplify installed), charging time was pretty good (like 1h from 10% to 100%), stanby battery drain almost inexistent (like 1~2% overnight)...

Then I decided to give try to RR ROM just for curiousity but came back to GearCM, and now battery charging it's REALLY awful, I'm not sure if it's a battery misreading problem but charging values are pretty unstable, it can goes randomly from 300mA to 1700mA changing every 5 seconds. Can't use it while charging because battery keeps draining slowly. Now it can take like 30 minutes to charge only 10%.

I don't know what to do, already clean flashed again and problem remains, my battery and cable are ok, please help, any idea what I have to do?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] tfft:
The TWRP team has been very approachable and helpful - I've gotten direct access to them on IRC (freenode.net #twrp) and they did note needing someone to champion the i9500 in order to update its tree, etc.

If IRC is a bit of a mystery, go to this URL, create a nickname, register it (ie. email verification) and you'll be able to easily join the #twrp channel.

Hope that helps.

Is your device compatible with my GT-I9500 ROM? (working completely i mean, just like on the original GT-I9500)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] SalimPS:
these are all Galaxy s4 variants that has the same hardware like the i9500

SGX 544, GT-I9502, SCH-I959, SHV-E300

however they don't support the same roms
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
I know, this is why i asked it. Currently i am aware of three variants running on the same platform.

GT-I9500: Single SIM, Wolfson Audio, Intel XMM6360 3G Modem

SHV-E300S/K: Single SIM, Yamaha Audio, Samsung SS222 LTE Modem

GT-I9502: Dual SIM, Yamaha Audio, Intel XMM6360 3G Modem
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] krasCGQ:
I don't know what type of these modems belong to, but I'm glad that I'm still had my source with defconfigs from all exynos devices gathered.

SHV-E300S/K: CONFIG_UMTS_MODEM_SS222=y

SHV-E300L: CONFIG_QC_MODEM_MDM9X15=y (seems to be a kind of Qualcomm modem)

GT-I9502: Yamaha YMU831 audio with Intel XMM6360 modem (same as i9500 modem)

SCH-I959 has two different modems (CDMA & GSM) enabled:

CONFIG_CDMA_MODEM_MDM6600=y

CONFIG_GSM_MODEM_ESC6270=y

...Sound is Yamaha, same as I9502.

I only done these by searching for "modem" and "Yamaha" on my repo, lol.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Holy Crap...so SHV-E300L and SCH-I959 won't be supported i think due to their different modem implementation.

EDIT: I was wrong, it is possible to get those variants to work too: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_samsung_smdk4412-qcom-common

2. My camera continues to die (inside snapshat and outside of it) requiring me to reboot to get it working again - is this a known issue ? Any workarounds ?

1.The boot and recovery partition only have 8MB,I tried to compile Lineageos 13 but the boot.img and recovery.img that i compiled is too large.Is it need to move the ramdisk image to system partition?

2.How to make the old kernel and the old driver compatible with nougat?Modify the source or deassemble the proprietary blob?

3.Last night i compiled Cm12.1 for i9500 using cyanogenmod's device tree and kernel source,but it doesn't boot.I can't use the extract-files.sh to extract blobs from I9500 because there is missing some blobs,so i used Mokee's vendor to build it.

Change kernel compression to one that has better compression ratio like xz or lzma and it should fit.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] tfft:
That did NOT work for me. In fact, the ROM was already set to permissive and the camera continues to crash on occasion. Any other ideas on how to fix this or any other known solutions/workarounds ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] aalxx:
Use Camera Restarter. With root access it can kill the media server process therefore making the camera work again. It will turn off all audio as well (you will just have to press play again) and its still a hassle but it's better than rebooting.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.exlyo.camerarestarter
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] tfft:
Thanks aalxx !! So is this a known issue with this ROM ? Any proper under the hood fixes coming up (release ?) - seems like a rather fundamental/basic function which leads me to believe that it was certainly tested/addressed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] aalxx:
I didn't find this problem first on this rom, I found it on the official cyanogenmod 12.1 and I think (but I'm not sure so take my words with a truck of salt) it has something to do with the tweaks they use to get the sound/camera working properly since Samsung documentation isn't great.

I don't know if it can or will be fixed but I guess we'll have to wait and see, the nougat update seems promising.
