Trying it with the SuperSU option worked!

When you say that newer versions of Magisk can conflict with Aroma - do you mean only when it's integrated with the Aroma installer? Now that the phone is up and running, can I safely switch from SuperSU to Magisk?

If so, what's the best way to do this for this rom?

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------

I tried installing with the Privacy Guard option and then flashing Magisk - but this didn't work either. I still ended up stuck on the Samsung logo screen.

I tried modifying the Magisk installer as recommended by the dev here. But that didn't help either.

Is there a known way to get Magisk working with this rom?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] petardo19561:
I don't know about Magisk, I couldn't switch from Super SU either, but here's what I do if I get stuck at Samsung logo loop on startup (fe after deleting ART/Dalvik and Cashe from TWRP): after the loop starts, I take out the battery, then press the power button several times with battery out, then return it and turn on the phone - and then it boots up fine. Hope it works for you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Haphim:
There's a known issue with Magisk and aroma installers. The source of the problem is unknown, but the recommended fix doesn't work for me, so I'm not sure how to get around it. I was hoping someone had been through the same thing and found a way to make it work.

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

Apparently, the problems don't seem to stop.

So I installed this rom with the SuperSU option. In the installer log for SuperSU, under "Boot Image Patcher", it ends with:

- Decompressing ramdisk

--- Failure, aborting

Upon boot, I see that there's no manager app installed. So I grabbed the SuperSU app from the Play store, and it tells me "SU binary occupied".

What's going wrong now?

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

And to follow that up, a root checker app has confirmed that I don't properly have root. <sigh>

So Magisk bricks my device and SuperSU doesn't seem to work/install properly.

Help?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Haphim:
Further update:

I tried the NON-aroma installer. That booted, but there was no SuperSU app, and running a root checker app said that I didn't have root. I tried tapping on the SuperSU link in the Tweaks Settings, but it just launches a browser for a github page that yields a 404.

So even with the non-aroma installer, I still can't get a fully functioning system.

I have no idea why this is failing so badly. There should not be this many problems.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
I have no idea why you are failing so badly. You should not have this many problems.

With the non-aroma version you need to supply a root solution.

So in twrp full wipe, flash rom, magisk, gapps then reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Haphim:
When I look into some of the logged errors I'm seeing (such as the failure of SuperSU to expand the ramdisk), I see bug reports by people with older firmwares. I'm wondering if there's something different about older firmwares (such as the MDL I have) that requires a different approach - insofar as rooting is concerned.

At this point, I've tried both the aroma and non-aroma installers, but the end results are the same:

1. Magisk (either patched for aroma or not): Bricked on Samsung Logo.

2. SuperSU (normal systemless): Not installed properly. Seems to fail on patching the boot image.

3. SuperSU (system mode): Bricked on Lineage boot screen.

4. LineageOS addonsu: Installs fine, but doesn't seem to do anything. I still don't have root.

This is extremely frustrating for me. Magisk is what I would prefer to use, but at this point, I'd be happy to just have a working root solution.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ezinex:
Have you tried installing 1st Magisk +15.x ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Haphim:
v15? No, I haven't. Is there a reason to think that might work?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ezinex:
I have a GT-i9300 phone that had almost the same issue and got it resolved with that version.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Haphim:
Well, I just tried installing Magisk 15.4, and it was the same problem: Bricked on the Samsung Logo.

In addition, it also had the same odd effect where if I ran the Magisk Uninstaller, it said that Magisk wasn't even installed. Nevertheless, once I installed it, I'm left with a bricked phone unless I wipe it and reflash a fresh rom.

I'm moving to Nougat from previously having a KitKat version of CyanogenMod. Maybe there was something that this rom didn't do that it should have - such as changing the partition layout/sizes or something?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Draega:
You stated you are using TWRP 3.1.1-0. There have been reported problems with using anything other than the recommended version of TWRP in the first post.

Official TWRP Recovery v3.1.0-0 for jfltexx.

Maybe give that a try.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Haphim:
I know that people have had problems when they've tried running older versions. Have you seen anyone run into problems with a later version?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Draega:
side posted this back in April.

it is actually working.but latest TWRP does not mount a specific partition that aroma needs to save your selections

PS

thats my guess.i havent search about it/i dont care a lot
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Haphim:
Interesting. Well, if the only thing it affects is Aroma, then that's not it - because I have identical results with the non-aroma installer. But thank you for the tip - I'll search further to see if there were any other issues related to that.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
[MENTION=1730168]Haphim[/MENTION]

first of all...coming from a kitkat working rom means that you have old bootloader/baseband etc such.

please upgrade your bootloader/basebands/modems to Lollipop ones.I use HQC1.

secondly.do u have 9505 ? if u r on verizon or i dont know, the locked bootloader is a problem.

thirdly, the only bug with twrps is the aroma,yes. use the one at post 1

and finally,

try to FORMAT your data partition before flash any new rom.FORMAT...not simply wipe
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Haphim:
Side, I have a SGH-I337 (jflteatt). I'm lucky enough to have an MDL bootloader. If I upgrade the bootloader, it won't be unlocked/unlockable anymore. I won't even be able to use TWRP. So my understanding is that upgrading the bootloader is the last thing I should do.

I don't remember seeing a seperate option for formatting in TWRP, but I'll look for one.

At this point, I can get the rom to install - I just can't get root, no matter what method I use. Magisk bricks my phone, SuperSU (systemless) fails on installation, SuperSU (system mode) bricks my phone, and addonsu simply doesn't work.

If you think that formatting data is the only thing I need to do to make this work, I'm happy to give it a shot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
i remember that i337 users had no issues mate.i dont think i can help much.i am on 9505 . try find a i337 user to help u.or grab some logs and last_kmsg
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Haphim:
Well, I tried doing a full data format, installing the NON-aroma installer, then flashing Magisk 16.0. Same problem - bricked at the Samsung logo screen.

I'm at a loss as to where to go from here.

I posted a recovery log here, if you think it might be helpful. This was my last attempt before I tried doing a full format of data. So it shows me doing a wipe, installing the non-aroma installer, installing Magisk, then immediately running the Magisk uninstaller to show it giving an error that it found no evidence that Magisk was previously installed.

In addition, when installing SuperSU, it fails during boot image patching. It says the boot image is already patched, then it fails on ramdisk extraction, if I remember correctly.

Does any of this give a clue as to what could be going wrong?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
i cant download the log.please send it via pm
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Haphim:
I can't send an attachment via PM, and the log is too long to paste, so I sent it to your email.

Screen off problem

Hi, people!

I have an archaic Galaxy S4, and installed Optimized Lineage 14.1 on it. The phone is rocket fast, but I encounter a problem: while approaching the ear to answer the call, the screen goes off, then after the call is ended and I take the phone off my ear, the screen remains black, so I have to activate is by pressing buttons, and then - to end the call. It is uncomfortable, especially when driving and using Bluetooth headset.

So, it there any solution for this problem?

Thank you in advance! :)

When I listen to music using my earbuds at low volume, I hear a noticeable amount of white noise. The earbuds are very sensitive, so I have the volume turned quite low. I'm using the Google Play Music app and I have the AudioFX equaliser turned off.

I have used several other ROMs on this S4, including the OEM 5.x, AOSP 6.0 and 7.1. I don't think that I heard this white noise with those versions.

Is it possible that there's something different in the audio processing pathway that causes this white noise at low volume? Is it possible to install an alternative audio pathway?

Thanks

Can the same procedure be used to switch from the stock kernel to alucard - i.e. locate the alucard kernel file in the ZIP file and flash it? Is the boot.img file in the root of the AROMA version the alucard kernel? Finally (and this may seem obvious), in TWRP do I install the image to the Boot partition?

Thanks

Sprint L720 - LTE connection problem

Does anyone know how to get LTE to work with Sprint using this ROM?

My situation: I have Samsung Galaxy s4 - L720 and I put Optimized LineageOS 14.1 on it, following exactly all the instructions. My network provider is genuine Sprint, not MVNO. My plan includes LTE data.

I have Optimized LOS 14.1 + OpenGapps (stock)

My problem is I either have

a) phone service + 3G connection

or

b) no phone service + excellent 4G LTE. connection

I would like to have both: a phone service and 4G LTE connection. Is it possible with this ROM?

I did some looking around *#*#4636#*#* and it looks like whenever I have LTE connection the network always defaults to LTE, whenever I have signal+3G, the network is CDMA (PRL). When I choose LTE/CDMA (PRL) the phone always reverts to either LTE or CDMA(PRL) settings.

In my 'preferred network type' I only see 3G and 1x. I think the problem is that I need to see 4G LTE in there as well, right? See the attached screenshot.

I did the APN settings but that did not lead me anywhere in terms of getting '4g lte' to show up in the 'preferred network type' menu.

In the context of my problem, the couple questions that I have are:

1) am I working with wrong APN credentials?

2) if so, will correct APN trigger an option '4g LTE' in the preferred network type menu?

3) if #2 is valid, then what are the correct APN settings?

4) *#*#46363#*#* is titled 'Testing'. Does doing anything in the Testing area actually do anything in terms of setting anything permanent?

5) do I need to re-install ROM with some other options meaning I have to choose AROMA install?

6) Should 'carrier settings' menu choice (right below 'Access Point Names') work? It always crashes saying that android.dialer crashed. But I am not sure what dialer have anything to do with carrier settings.

7) are there any other add-ons that I need to flash through TWRP to get everything working?

Thanks!
