Some stock ROMs yes, where its locked down and much smaller incremental changes happen......

Most devs get bullied into trying to make dirty flashes work by lazy people, who wont put their own effort in, not much to ask the end user to clean flash when youre a dev and put countless hours in....

I dont mind if you or anyone else wants to dirty flash and keep right on posting when something goes wrong...plenty of others share your view on here, its why the thread is so long, and grows daily...Ive put my guide up, use it or dont, no ones forcing you....

As a first introduction, saying a ROM is a deal breaker if it doesnt have xx feature is not how one should introduce themselves into a ROM thread. Another thing thats already been dealt with, poster knew what i meant and no harm came to either side....

Moving on.....

Hi Everyone!

Thanks a lot for developing this great rom, appreciate that you are keeping the SGS4 alive.

I hava a really good experience with Stable 3 so far: stable, fast, features working well - I clean flashed after using Stable1 for some time now.

I have one weird issue: if I start a call with the headset plugged in, the other party cannot hear me. However, if I start the call without the headset, and plug it in during the call, no problem, voice is perfect. Did anyone encounter similar issues? How can I provide more useful feedback for the next version?

Thanks again! :good:

p.s. the Watch dogs bootanim is awesome

PC doesn't have to be trusted. I did a clean flash and did not have to accept connection on mobile. If that should happen that would mean there is a second bug on my device. Does device have to be logged in to? i don't know. [update]No.[/update]

I agree. > Mac / Win / Linux / StockROM / official LinOS. All "dirty".

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] stylemessiah:
I like it when people drag on an argument based on transposing a theory based on other OS's - i suppose youre one of those people who actually upgraded a working windows system, in place, to the next version...

I never have, always clean install there too...30+ years of IT , and never having had a single issue while watching the bulk of people whove tried the lazy in place Windows upgrade telll me im not barking up a tree...for the same reason why i do it on Android...what sort of nutter do you have to be to drag existing files and settings into a new system and then expect it to just tick along like youve done nothing to it...defies logic....

Oh, and then theres the showstopper for your theory, the dev even says clean install about 3 or 4 times a day to people who dirty flash on here

But wait, theres even more, on all the OS's you quote theres literally thousands of people who review the code over months. The dev team here is how many people? , no offence [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] and team....

And again, moving on....shall we? Or do you want me to keep pointing out holes in your theories

Only used stable 1 for a week or so until stable 2 was released. I can recall only one issue on stable 2 with screen timing out randomly and is now gone with stable 3, no excessive battery drain no over heating solid as a rock, lighting fast and currently my daily driver. thanks for keeping the s4 alive guys its very much appreciated!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lekiaM:
No not really. I've experienced same issues before, related to Benchmarking, heavy multitasking, gaming etc... Which kernel are you using with this ROM "stock" or "alucard"? If alucard, you can do some changes in the Stweaks settings. Just give me a call, and i will send you my personal edits in Stweaks by PM. Maybe the settings can cool your device down. For me it works. Aldo, it makes your device a little bit slower.

Substratum user here, offering much thanks and interest.

Past issues have made me grateful for your informative post though I'm currently running Stable 3 from clean, sans any FC issue.

I do wonder if you would be willing to divulge your source? Cite link to direct me please? I find it peculiar -but intriguing- that the Substratum app itself shuns its own theming. However, if you came upon this knowledge on your own and are unable to cite then all I can say is, "Wow! Rabbit out of a hat!" :good:

I'll never apply theme to Sub app again if this proves valid in my own usage.

Now, how does one go about being thankful for every FC avoided? :silly:

Tried it in the morning, so far it works perfectly, Thanku You! However, it still makes me think, how does it work, when I updated both modem and bootloader on my gt-i9505 and sm-g900f(s5) the first thing that has changed was the auto/manual brightness swith in quick setings, that has just appeared out of nowhere. any suggestions why it wasn't there till now? What have I missed?

Testing Stable 3 here:

Clean install

On SGH-M919

Alucard kernal

Majisk (hidden)

Trebuchet

(Build prop modified slightly to release and user, whatever)

Play store reports certified

Safetynet usually passes

Netflix not listed in play store although I was able to install on a precious stable 3 install

Super Mario Run crashes in startup after black screen

Baby Tracker program crashes after attempting sync

The above 3 problems didn't exist on stable 1 or 2

After battery calibration with root privilege I get about 19 hours of standby, much less while using phone and it does get very hot sometimes, especially while web browsing or YouTube. Before the calibration I would have very odd behaviour where the phone wouldn't turn on. So maybe that's all it needed there.

Will continue testing. My little boy is 5 months old today :)

Netflix hides the app from rooted users now. You have to hide magisk or whatever it is called within the options.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Yooshaw:
Fellow M919 user here, think we've chatted before.

I've been experimenting with under-volting with positive results - much less heat under load - went from about 3 hrs SoT to 4 hrs SoT. I'm still tweaking it to see how "low I can go." I don't really game on this phone, so I've also gone with lower max freqs as well. Honestly I can't remember what SoT I was getting with TW 4.4.

I can sort of comment on Magisk, as I'm not using it on the S4, but I am on a TW S5 - I pass safety net, but like you, Mario Run and Netflix can't be installed from the play store, even though the device says certified. Best to track it down on the Magisk forum I think.

Also, I'm curious if [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] thinks that since the M919 never saw Lollipop, that the Kit Kat bootloader/modem with the M919 could have a detrimental effect?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] therawski:
Majisk is hidden, that's what confuses me. Netflix doesn't list at all while Super Mario Run takes a moment before it will show, sometimes it shows immediately, I can install but can't run. Last time I got Netflix to work I just ate some carrots and Bam! But this time its been a couple days with no luck regardless of carrot intake.

---------- Post added at 02:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 AM ----------

I installed the latest stock firmware, just to make sure I had the most recent modem. I was having problems with my sim card disconnecting. But I think its because of all the overheating that it probably just needs to be replaced as I wasn't experiencing the problem until after I used Stable 2

As for Majisk I don't see how its the problem because everything worked fine in Stable 1 and 2

Another problem I experience on stable 3 is that the first couple milliseconds of a song are really loud and then everything is fine. I'm not using viper, but it's another issue that I didn't have on stable 1 or 2, other than the known sound issues with 1

Suddenly I can install Netflix!? Omfg
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Yooshaw:
I've had the sim card issue in two S4s, and heat may be a part of it. There's a fix out there involving using some foam to put more pressure where the sim/SD ribbon connects to the motherboard.

I don't necessarily think Magisk is the problem, but I don't think it's the ROM. Seems strange that my S5, that I just rooted (on stock TW) and installed Magisk has the exact same issue. Maybe something in the play store changed in how it looks for root? I haven't looked too far into it, as I really don't need it right now, but will look at it more closely eventually.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] therawski:
Well I think it's strange the programs that rely on downloading more data from the internet after their initial install are having problems. Super Mario Run needs to download additional data the first time you run it. Baby tracker syncs data without the use of an account in the phone settings. Seems similar enough and considering that both crash right before they are about to do those things seems to he the same issue.

Your charging hardware (most likely the replacable USB connector module or your USB cable ) is obviously degraded. If it was OK the current would be 1900mA. No, 1800mA are not enough!

IMHO I would say please don't report issues you get with degraded hardware.

You know that he has specifically targetted me in that post (its my user pic inthe post, its not a coincidence and youre not really expecting me to believe that its a coincidence) and other posts...i tried to deal with it via contacting [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] to have a quiet word, made a suggestion to the member concerned to remove the offending post, and he decided to go the other way and continue to personally attack me, reporting was the only remaining option

As a member of the team, you could also have a word to him and ask him to remove the offending post and apologise...and the problem would be solved

Hes all bent out of shape because, in repsonse to another member who wanted to know how to disable a bootanmation, i asnwered that request...and checked with [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] it was okay. but because he designed the latest boot animation used in the ROM, he decided to act offended and has on several occasions made personal attacks on me here. Its simple, he has no right to, last time i checked, this was [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION]'s ROM, and if this is how he responds to people who are simply responding to a request by another member, maybe you need to re-evaluate whether you really want him as part of the ROM team, if he gets "injured" by someone wanting info on how to disable a boot animation, and i might add, he hasnt attacked any of the people who have since asked how to change the boot animation, then yes, he's personally attacking me speicifically...as mentioned its also easy to spot as he uses my user pic in that offensive post....

He needs to remove that post, apologise to me and grow a thicker skin

Hi guys,

Thanks for this design that allows us to use updated androids on our galaxy S4.

In my first installation, I installed the Stable 3 with Alucard Kernel.

result:

Pros

In 30 minutes of use, I realized that it was very fast and stable the version.

Cons

My battery discharged quickly. In 10 minutes in use consumed almost 10%.

Gsam Battery Monitor The battery's prediction term is 3 hours.

My app DEEZER does not work. It opens but it loops when you try to play any song. Even reinstalling did not work again.

In my secondinstallation, I installed the Stable 3 with Stock Kernel.

result:

Pros

In 30 minutes of use, was fast, stable but slower than with the Alucard Kernel.

The battery in 10 minutes of use did not consume 2%

Gsam Battery Monitor The battery's prediction term is 8 hours.

With Antutu Benchmar, I got the result of 40787.

My DEEZER app works normally.

Cons

At the moment none

While I can't install Netflix or Mario Run from the play store, I downloaded both APKs on my

. I read that Netflix app is just blocked on the app store for rooted devices (reference: http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/05/13/netflix-confirms-blocking-rootedunlocked-devices-app-still-working-now/). Netflix is working for me. I've never heard of Widevine before, wonder if that may be the issue?

After installing Mario Run, I hid it in MagiskHide, then ran it. Immediately I got a message that the Play Store had stopped. I dismissed that, and then another that says Google Play is required. I dismissed that, and Mario Run worked fine, including downloading the first set of data.

So, don't know if that helps you or not.
