Yes, I did full wipe and used openGapps pico.

Anyway, even following STEP BY STEP the instructions on the 1st page I'm suffering another issue:

Randomly the phone remain locked with black screen and in no way I'm able to wake it. For sure it's on since the led notification blinks.

So I van only long press power button to force restart.

Any clue about what to investigate?

To be clear I've not restored any settings from backups.

Did you choose the Alucard or stock kernel in Aroma?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
there seems to be a bug with profiles and lock screens with disabled security settings that has caused this in nougat, perhaps on CM13 also?.

boot into twrp and edit /data/system/profiles.xml changing any lockscreens you find defined to 0, which should disable lockscreens
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MarsArtis:
I choosed Alucard

Some devices simply have a problem with the alucard kernel. Try the stock kernel and the problem should go away.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MarsArtis:
To flash kernel I should go through a full wipe install?

This said which other options are recomanded to be selected in Aroma installer? (Sttweaks etc...)

You can dirty flash the stock kernel. Stweaks and Kernel Aduitor are not compatible with the stock kernel.

Hi Every1,

i am currently running latest official CM13 Snapshot on my GT-I9505, but i have some problems, for example it seems the battery calculations is very strange (charging on with 2A/5V battery level gets lower while playing, without charger battery lvl stays exactly the same for "long time" while device is doing "nothing"), thats why i am thinking to switch to another Rom and this 1 looks quite nice.

But i have some questions:

1. I am on old (pre-KNOX) bootloader on my "open germany" S4, is there any problem with it?

2. i am also on a very old baseband (because of pre-knox BL). Could this be a problem?

-> if you want the versions, just ask :)

--> would be nice, if you could answer those questions [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] , thanks :)

3. i need to pass SN, is passing SN possible with suhide and/or rootswitch like im currently running on my GT-I9505?

4. are there any known bugs like "Bluetooth not working", "IR not working", "App XY crashes all times" (currently sometimes "AudioFX" crashes during playing "Ingress" on CM13 snapshot)

5. would it be possible to use microG instead of gapps?

6. may i ask more questions if i have more of them? :)

Greetings :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mynacol:
I am no expert for Bootloader/Modem, maybe [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] can help you with this

3. I recommend for passing SN Magisk + Magisk Hide, as it gets updates

EDIT: It IS possible to use suhide and/or rootswitch, somebody else should explain this to you.

4. This ROM was created to fix such common cyanogenmod problems, and in stable stage you should not have problems with Bluetooth and Audio FX; in the Toolbox app is a switch for another IR driver so every IR App should work.

5. Different ways for MicroG are possible:

a) Compiling whole ROM from source with MicroG Patch

b) Patching Framework with Tingle/Needle (I do not recommend this, it needs deodexed ROM and this ROM is odexed)

c) Using XPosed Module FakeGApps

Look at: https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/wiki/Signature-Spoofing

6. This Forum is for such questions! Ask more if you have them!

Are you using F2FS or ext4?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MarsArtis:
F2fs

I had similar issue after switching to f2fs from ext4. Then I switched back to ext4, seems good so far.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MarsArtis:
So you suggest to format both cache and data back to ext4?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] metalmonkey81:
Fixed my problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] a103:
It's not required but recommended, if you see any issues it's better to full wipe first before reporting them.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MarsArtis:
Have to clearly thank metalmonkey81.

His tip made the differenece., and so on my GS4 i9505 Italian Black Edition the f2fs was causing those issue.

Reverted back to ext4 both cache and data and now all goes smoothly.

So this is my complete report:

followed exactly the instructions on the 1st page BUT reverted the partition to EXT4.

Installed using ALUCARD kernel, enabled STweaks, used open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20161230.

At present no app is crashing nor the phone remain locked with black screen. Bluetooth is working fine.

on wich security patch level is the latest build? because november and more up to date may cause problems with suhide/rootswitch

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

additional question: is there anything special about OptimizedCM-13-20161224-jflte-AROMA.zip ? what does "AROMA" mean here?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mynacol:
The current latest build has security patches up to 1.Dec, maybe only the rootswitch patches are sufficient for SafetyNet

Otherwise you can switch to Magisk, as Magisk Hide can pass SN

AROMA is the "installation method". I think you need a fairly recent TWRP version and by " installing" it in TWRP a GUI starts and there you can select/unselect some features, e.g. using SuperSU or PrivacyGuard
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 135Shadowsoul:
what do you mean with rootswitch patches?

€dit: does magisk not require stock builds anymore? as far as i remember early builds needed it (some of the early "how to pass SN w/Magisk for pokemon go" guides)

€dit2: i would prefer to stay with rootswitch (and/or suhide) because rootswitch i can use tasker to automate scripts for hide root
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mynacol:
First: I have heard in the suhide thread that [custom_ramdisk_patch.sh] and [.suhide] placed at the right position etc. allows to pass SN without suhide and with November/December security patches. As I am not really interested in SN/GApps etc. I can say only what I have heard, maybe you search for it or somebody else can help

Then: Magisk allows you to hide Root etc. with Magisk Hide, this means you have all the time root, but some selected apps won't see it at all.

Magisk can be installed on almost any device with a patchable boot partition and on any ROM. On our S4 Magisk can be installed (normally) without problems.

I would suggest to try Magisk because if it works you don't need Tasker Scripts to disable/enable root anymore

I tried to read about this issue but I didn't see anything, need some help please. When I go into my network settings and switch them around I have a few issues.

1) I have LTE but I can't make or receive calls. Messaging works fine

2) I can receive call and message but no data connection at all

3) I can receive call and use messaging but only get 3G signal which is slow. 2mbt down. No LTE at all.

I would really appreciate some insight. Thank you!

I'm no Android dev by any means, but reviewing the dump I'm inclined to ask what the temperature is of the environment you were/are in? The CPU is showing 67C, which isn't exactly means for throttling per se, but is still pretty high.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mily20001:
Environment is between 15-22°, but tbh i was sure that its normal that it heat up under load, i get up to 75° during boot. Anyway, i don't think that it cause that bootloop.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tweakforce_LG:
I get 45c when just using XDA. YouTube puts me up to 60-70c and my phone is not nice to hold. Any tweaks I can do to reduce temperature? I don't mind a slight loss of speed as a drawback but nothing too bad. Anyone have any hardware modding ideas. I have a 2nd s4 for testing.

Using Stock kernel with the camera that comes with the rom - assuming that is the AOSP camera?

The issue I have is that any photos that use flash are basically out of focus or motion blurred because 1. the flash goes off, 2. screen captures shows image, 3. subject moves, 4. camera captures picture post flash with motion blur or wrong flash.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
This is a known issue with the AOSP camera on this ROM build. To take perfect looking pictures, hold your phone absolutely still, snap picture then don't move until 2 seconds AFTER the flash. This method works perfectly until [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] releases the next build.

Ayy pls anyone know why this happened. I got the sleep of death from such a low undervolt so i had to crash reboot the phone. It was stuck in this sleep of death while charging for 30 mins yet it had dropped 10% even though it was plugged in. My battery is just under a year old from a samsung service cetre. Is there something funky with my battery or is it not accepting charge when in sleep of death? Pls someone. Im on optcm13
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
It sounds like your phone may not appreciate being undervolted.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tweakforce_LG:
Upped the voltage to a stable level that's still less than stock and damn the phone still gets hot. Why did Samsung mount a ram chip on top of the CPU instead of allowing proper heat transfer. I wish there where hardware mods out there.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tweakforce_LG:
Here is my predicted life on battery without sleeping the phone, just browsing the web and stuff. No YouTube. Is this normal, even with newish batteries it seems undesirable. I've put up with it for a year after paying out of my nose to get replacements from Samsung and them insist I'm running too many apps. I have nothing much running in the background. My old phone had the same stuff running and lasted forever with a smaller battery, and it was much cheaper and a year newer. Any tips or mods. I can't buy an extended battery, they don't ship due to strict import laws here. That's why I had to go for official same size replacements.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
What battery monitoring apps are you running? Something like better battery stats or gsam battery monitor will give you more granular info on apps.

I'm sure your problem will be apps however.

Make sure automatic app optimisation is on. Whitelist only what you really need running at all times.

Go into privacy guard and go through every app in bootup. Ask yourself does this app need started every boot, does it need to run in the background, does it need to keep my device awake? Be ruthless.

Look for wakelocks and try to reduce them. I use gsam at the moment to help gather info on this.

If battery is your main thing then forget about synthetic benchmarks they mean diddly squat.

Though 35 thou is high i'd say LOL..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] markiarom:
In theory: less distance = more speed.

In pratice: this phone heats too much.

Samsung also put SoC in front of glass instead of giving it a more heat friendly escape
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
Another thought on heat... Sdcard. Corrupt SD cards can roast. Check integrity / backup and reformat your sd. If media are corrupt indexer may keep indexing too.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rhoban:
Because this is a ROM thread, not a Magisk thread.

There are dedicated threads to Magisk and Magisk + Pokémon Go if that's your thing.

But you should know that Magisk can't hide SuperSU. Magisk can only hide its own root.

If you don't know how to do it, go to the Magisk thread and follow the instructions on how to install and use it.

CM is the same on all devices, so instructions you find there will work here.

Also, CM ROMs are rooted by default, so you'll have to remove that or you'll still get SafetyNet fails.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rhoban:
I saw you also posted something in the suhide thread about Rootswitch and modifications.

That method works too. If you're more familiar with it, then use that instead of Magisk, because stweaks has problems with the Magisk root.

I'm using it too, though it's on the Android 7 variant of this ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 135Shadowsoul:
But as far as i know (even posted in suhide thread) suhide currently does not work with november+ security patch. Ofc, as soon as it is working it would be my prefered way to :)

and i posted there was a way mentioned, but i dont know how exactly to "patch" rootswitch. 1 more problem is, currenty only suhide and only rootswitch does not work, i need both of them together
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rhoban:
Sure it does. That's what the patches are for.

Salve,

scrivo sia in italiano che in inglese, sperando in un vostro aiuto. Utilizzo la CM13 Optimized per il Samsung S4 i9505 da quasi 4 mesi, dopo la prima installazione ho scelto di usare l'opzione per la microSD per farla riconoscere come se facesse parte della memoria interna, ma oggi dopo aver riavviato lo smartphone, mi chiede di riformattare la microSD in quanto non riconosce il file system... sperando non sia morta la microSD, ho provato con un lettore microSD e PC se riuscivo a recuperare i dati (foto e video) ma il pc non riconosce la partizione e fa vedere solamente una piccola partizione FAT naturalmente vuota... ci sono soluzioni a questo problema?

PS: la dimensione della microSD ( 64gb ) vengo riconosciuti sia dal pc che dall'S4.

Read this, maybe it gives a solution. But by using internal, your card is encrypted and formatted as ext4 (I think). It's not recognised as separate item anymore.

If you have a computer and an SD reader / adapter. Then plug that in and see if u can get to to the files. If not try on a Mac or get a Linux distro and boot it to see if it can read the SD

As far as I understand: no. The card is encrypted, so Windows or Linux can't read it. Do you mean that even in your phone, you get the 'format' question??

If it's encrypted then you are out of luck. Could try minitool data recovery but even then it most likely won't work due to needing the encryption key
