I have version 11 installed on my S4. Is it OK to install version 12 without doing a full wipe, etc?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 72k:
Ok here is my problem., I got my sph l720 running on 4.4.2 unlocked, one day its got bootloop and stuck on sprint logo. I tried reset from recovery and wipe data but no luck. So i decided to flash this optimized LOS instead of back to stock rom. I did all step that the OP mentioned above but now i get my phone relock or "no service"... I could read my carrier name but no service. Did i missed something? I've installed TWRP via odin before flash this rom. Everything works fine. Wifi, bluetooth etc, but only network been relock. My currently baseband is MK2. Please help me guys
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rbc_tn:
Well, to answer my own question, it appears not to work well. I flashed version 12 and cleared the Cache and Dalvik partitions, but some apps had problems, crashing immediately after loading.

It looks like a full install is necessary. I'll try that when I have time & will report on the results.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] samarium:
You might get away with just using settings -> apps, and clearing cache and/or data on a per app basis, or you could try selectively restoring apps from your Titanium backup, or your nandroid backup, or get Titanium to restore from nandroid backup but I never like doing that, interface in that case isn't nice.

I don't have access to one of these phones at the moment, but in general upgrading with updates like from 11 to 12 here on the same major release, ie LOS 14.1, I don't even clear cache/dalvik since android will automatically regenerate dalvik, or probably ART these days, when the app has been updated. This approach generally works well for me, but it looks like I can't say YMMV, since it seems like your mileage did, in fact, vary. Possibly depends how much non-default hacking you have done of your phone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rbc_tn:
Thanks for the quick reply, Samarium! Yeah, I was rather surprised I ran into problems.

I think the next thing I'll try is a complete wipe & install of version 12, then restoring the apps with Titanium.

Is there a way to unlock i337 without flashing back to stock? Dialer codes don't work
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
No. Being on stock Android, specifically Android 4.2.2, is mandatory if you want to remove the carrier lock.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 72k:
Can i downgrade this optimized LOS back to kitkat? After unlock the carrier can i back to optimized LOS?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] guest4711:
Switching between different ROM requires clean flashing, so all valuable data has to be backed up first. Going back to stock will delete TWRP too.

But yes, it is possible. Have a good backup which you may restore after flashing TWRP and your current ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 72k:
Thanks for answering...could u tell me step by step to doing this? I want clean flashing, i dont mind with all the data, i want to revert back to stock 4.4.2 with its original baseband so i can do unlocking again. So where exactly to do flashing? By odin or twrp? Then what todo next if i want to install this optimized LOS. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] guest4711:
You have to use ODIN for flashing stock ROM. This will install a stock recovery, too. After unlocking you have to install TWRP using ODIN. Disable autoreboot in settings of ODIN. Update your baseband and bootloader using ODIN, too. Boot into TWRP. Update TWRP to known working version (3.x.y). Boot into TWRP again. Wipe system, cache, art/dalvik and data. Flash this ROM, Magisk or LOS-su-addon if desired, g-apps if needed. Wipe cache and art/dalvik again. Boot into system. Let it settle (art compiler is running in the background). Setup and enjoy.

If you boot into system before installing the new ROM TWRP is replaced by stock bootloader. In this case start over by installing TWRP via ODIN. Make sure "autoreboot" is not checked.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
One thing to note here. You specifically mentioned Android 4.4.2, which is Kitkat. Carrier unlocking using the methods discussed in the SIM unlocking thread located in General or Q&A will NOT work on that version of Android. You MUST be on Android 4.2.2 (Jellybean) for either of the SIM unlock methods to work. This is non-negotiable.

I highly encourage you to seek out the SIM unlock thread and read from roughly November 2015 on.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 72k:
Wow very well and clear explanation THANKS :good: but let me ask you one more time. Can i just flash the modem/baseband back using odin without having to flash entire stock rom? So i can unlock it again, because i had unlocked sph l720 before i flash this LOS.

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

Thanks for advice, i went that thread already. I just want to make sure for what step to take because i dont want to get hardbrick. The problem is i couldnt get my carrier service after flashing this LOS (please read my post above) ok so that means that i cant update to 7.12 and keep my unlock state?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] guest4711:
Yes, thats possible. There are firmware packages you can flash without reflashing the ROM

Have a look at [MENTION=6082440]_Bon_Bon[/MENTION]'s fine list of firmware available and FAQ:

How would someone create or use the Aroma Installer? I've never done that before.

Is it as easy as zipping up those files and applying as a zip from TWRP?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 72k:
Thank you so much, but the link that u provided is for i9505 instead of l720 which i currently use. Is that possible to flash any baseband or bootloader from TWRP?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] platypoid:
When I used it on one of the roms yes it was easy - it opened up an interface that let you select which optional things you wanted to add and then it installs them on rom . Simple.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] black.kahder:
Hello.

As I mention in my last post, I did not know how to apply Aroma. Indeed, I simply git cloned the repo and made a zip file, then applied that. The Aroma installer started after I added this aroma zip on top of the main Lineage ROM.

However, I have observed at least two problems so far.

First is that when I tried to flash gapps pico on top of the image, it failed and told me that it was incompatible because it was an Android 5.0.2 ROM (SDK 21). I also tired an older known-good gapps that I had installed previously and it gave the same error.

Update: This may actually be caused by TWRP.

https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/1070

Update2: I made a mistake. I had downloaded the arm64 version of open gapps. A very strange symptom for trying to install the wrong architecture. I would think there would be an architecture check first.

Additionally, whenever I tried using the Aroma installer, the system would fail to boot. Installing just the Version 12 ROM alone works.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kassimitec:
Thanks for your efforts i have a small problem in pixel experience rom some apps that need root not working properly i want to know why and if there is some roms fixing this . I think it's because of enforcing mode instead of permissive

KWGT Kustom Widget Maker

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kustom.widget

Advantage: You can build your own (klickable) widgets

Disadvantage: You have to build it on your own :eek:

It take quite some time to figure out how to build the widgets. But if you've finished the first one, you'll soon think of another useful widget you always wanted to have ;)

Perhaps you're lucky and can find a pre build widget of someone who already had the same problem and published it

It's a paid app - but worth every cent. And there's a free test version :good:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] platypoid:
What I would do is reboot to recovery , I would restore my previous working Rom that I had backed up , then I would follow the step by step instructions on original post again making sure to do everything the same way specified. .

It has been awhile since I used this Rom - I have since gone to the official Lineage rom since now they have one for this phone and they didn't used to. I followed all the instructions for installing official Lineage and it worked. You must pay careful attention to use the specific TWRP recovery for any of these - some don't seem to work right if not the version called for.

Version 12 - phone goes blank while call, can't end call

Hello erverybody,

I am using version 12 (which is pretty amazing, espacially the duaration of the battery), but as soon I make a call or pick up a call, my screen turns black and doesnt respond to anything. If the other person doesnt end the call (which is a huge problem with mailbox), I'm not possible to do anythin than ripp the battery out ot the phone. Do you need log data?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
use the stock kernel
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rhoban:
I don't think aroma would be able to do such modifications. I believe permissive or enforcing has to be set before building the kernel.

Try this:

mount -o remount,rw /system
mkdir /system/su.d
echo "!#/system/bin/sh" > /system/su.d/enforcing.sh
echo "setenforce 1" > /system/su.d/enforcing.sh
echo "1" > /sys/fs/selinux/enforce
chmod 755 /system/su.d/enforcing.sh

Run those commands in terminal emulator. This should, theoretically, set the kernel to enforcing each boot without user interaction.

I seem to have found a bug in the build from November 21. I have a pair of wired headphones with an in line microphone. When they are plugged in no one is able to here me no matter how loud I am. I can hear them fine, they just can't hear me. I'll try to test another wired head set/mic tomorrow to rule out the possibility of it being the ear buds but as far as I recall it was working fine in 7.1 and just broke on the Nov 21 build. Will grab a log cat tomorrow too! In the mean time can any one test this and report their findings.

Is the Sprint (jfltespr) supported?

Hi, I have the Sprint variant (jfltespr) when I flash the ROM I don't get past the Samsung logo. It doesn't flash, reboot, etc. It just sits at the logo as if it's bricked. I was just wondering if jfltespr is even supported. My phone model is SPH-L720. I'm using TWRP 3.0.2-0. My bootloader is L720TVPUCOH1. If I'm not using the right recovery or bootloader please tell me what I should be using. Thanks in advance.

It seems that the Rom is pretty stable on my i9505 now. With Stweaks extreme battery profile, zram disabled and Greenify with shallow hibernation, I'm getting a good battery usage.

CM camera is working good for photo and videos, Viper is working nicely and no echoed or muted calls and Google assistant is enabled.

The only thing bugged is the automatic time-zone. But that's a know bug now.

Magisk on V12 and Aroma stuff

Hey,

I tested a little bit and found out, that the last working version of Magisk on this ROM is Magisk-v18.1 (assuming we're on v12 without Aroma package and on allucard kernel edit: mine is a GT-I9505 (jfltexx) btw).

When installing any higher version (19.0-19.3, tested all of them), the ROM boots indeed but after unlocking the lockscreen the launcher and every other app crashloops and you get spammed by crash notifications. Trying to reboot will get you stuck in a bootloop.

I don't know anything about android and kernels but i guess it's some compatibility issue since this rom and the kernel are a little bit older.

Just flash v18.1 via twrp and never update. This rom is in EOL state, therefore this could only be fixed by the Magisk developers. Maybe some later version will work again...but most likely not.

Something else...

Installing the Aroma package kinda doesn't work for me. Obviously just trying to flash the .zip from github didn't work. I tried to combine the archives by replacing the files from the rom zip with the files from the aroma zip and flash it. I got into the aroma installer assistant but when it's about to install it just goes to the installation finished screen without actually doing anything. Anybody got a trick for that?

[MENTION=8301488]black.kahder[/MENTION] you said you got it working somehow. Would you mind explaining to me what you did?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 72k:
Yes i've been tested this too, installed lastest magisk version both via TWRP or magisk manager will result bootloop on this rom. The only way to recover is by flashing the lastest magisk uninstaller via TWRP and reinstall magisk 18.1

Hi all.

I'd just like to thank Side & Co. for this ROM. After following [MENTION=6753279]Retrial[/MENTION]'s awesome installation guides I got latest JCDTeam TWRP, BL and modem. Tried Optimized Pie 16 but it ran too hot and had major scrolling lag on Chrome and FB, but this one runs like a dream!

I'm still noticing higher battery drain when screen is on, but not as high as Pie. Got Magisk working - even my banking app works with it.

I have one issue: JCDToolbox or whatever it's called isn't working. It's complaining of no supersu access yet magisk hasn't prompted me at all. Is it my fault for adding Magisk too late? I didn't add it before first boot.

Also, how do I safely remove stock email, calendar and music apps? I'd usually do it in Aroma but v12 doesn't appear to have one and I know nothing of building from packages. Thanks.
