Magisk may very well be the next big thing, like Xposed.

Not to mention that, since Chainfire sold his SuperSU app to some unknown company, many people distrust it now and try to avoid it due to fear of privacy and security issues.

So the only other reliable root managers are Privacy Guard and Magisk root. Privacy Guard is only available on LineageOS ROMs as an add-on. That leaves Magisk as the single universal root that works on any ROM I guess.

And no, I'm not a fanboy. I've only been using Magisk since some stable 4 test build and it works quite well for me. Root never failed and I have not had any other root related problems so far.

The "Remove package" uninstalls crap from your ROM, it doesn't actually install anything.

But since you have wiped beforehand, there's absolutely nothing to remove and nothing to boot to either.

And since you don't have ANY operating system installed (due to the wipe), it's impossible to flash gapps.

So, there's no problem with stable 4 and your phone. The problem is with the owner :P

could someone upload the I9505XXUFNAD baseband please ?

or reccomend a good baseband for Europe-Romania- Orange. also a bootloader for this ROM.

my phone keeps disconnecting from the network and i get "no sim card inserted" message. Restart, 30 min-1 hour all ok then looses sim again.

thank you !

Sorry if offtopic (again!) but f.lux worked on Stable3 but not on Stable4, for me at least.

Is there a way to force the app to have root privileges? I've sure when I installed on Stable3 there was a popup when I first opened the app to grant it root, but I didn't get that prompt on Stable4.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lucamtb:
mee too from stable 1 to stable 4 (obviously full clean).

so far so good; no issue and improved on GPS status (it is faster); battery now last 2 dais, smooth mobile, satisfied.

ps. standard (no aroma version)

GOOD JOB

Did clean install of optimized 4 on i9505. Unfortunately smartcover is still not working correctly. As soon as the cover is closed battery drain is as high as the phone would in permanent use.

With open smartcover and phone in stanby the battery consumption is normal. The problem with high battery drain is observed with smartcover closed only.

Are there any plans to fix this issue with next releases?

If anyone have problems with magisk here a solution​.

did you flash the uninstaller before flashing v13 beta? if not can you do so ?

reboot to recovery

a) flash magisk uninstaller http://tiny.cc/latestuninstaller

b) flash magisk v13.0(96f8efc) https://xdaforums.com/att...5&d=1497598287

reboot device

Are there any plans to provide a log with the next complaint?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] PePeMoke:
As Pwnycorn said.

Provide logs with the issues you run into!

Otherwhise it just will be one more hollow complaint driving side out of civilization and on a small rocky-island in the Mediterranean sea in front of Greece where he puts up a solar plant and on stormy evenings in a cloak he develops Roms just for himself ... you want that?

No? So provide logs!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sgeorgi:
I did not complain. I just descipted an issue and asked if there are some plans already to solve it. I am a user not a developer. If you explain how I can pull logs I would send it.

From my side I can not see if the developers are already aware of this issue with smart covers and if they are already working on a solution. So I am very sorry to upset people with my concern. Maybe these sides are not for users.

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

Instead of feeling great writing about rocky-island it would help much more you would explain how I can pull the logs you need to trouble shoot the issue.

Thanks in advance for being so straightforward.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rhoban:
Side himself does not use a flip cover. Nor do many users of this ROM, since you're pretty much the only one I have seen to report this issue.

The other thing is: regardless if it's a complain or a report, logs are always useful.

Without logs, side (or any other developer in this world) won't know where to look or what could be the cause of your issue.

He would have to guess what could be wrong or what could cause it, which means wasted time trying every possibility.

I think there was a guide on how to capture a log in the OP or the second or third post. I know for sure somebody posted it somewhere in this thread.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] guest4711:
If you'd use the search function for "log" in this thread you'll find e.g.:

Kernel Adiutor or OS Monitor or Logcat (all avaiable via f-droid if you don't like to use Google's services) will also do the job...

Could it be the case that some other users "complaining" about battery drain are using a smart cover like me.

Possible Issue on Stable4 install - SPH-L720

If I install the AROMA version with the top option, basically the default top choice, it's fine. However, if I try to remove any of the apps, the bottom choice, then the installer breaks, pops right back to TWRP and then fails the open Gapps 7.1.1 install. This produces the error someone reported on the 16th. Took me about 45 minutes to isolate it. Again only an issue if you choose the bottom option and remove something from the ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] guest4711:
You could only remove apps you have installed in a previous run.

You could n*o*t use the remove option to install a ROM with less apps... If you select this options after wiping system there will no OS TWRP can boot into...

So flash the rom once, and flash again using the rrmove options to delete some apps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Kazamario:
Makes sense, but not so user friendly. Idk if you programatically check for prior installs of a ROM, if you can, then ideally this option should be suppressed on a wiped/freshly formatted device.

Thank you for pointing it out Guest.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] stylemessiah:
Or open the ROM zip an remove the apps/ringtones etc you dont want before flashing the ROM, which is what i always do. Saves me about 100Mb.

I also rename audioextract and edit the build.prop (for my variant) and gps.conf and re-add them to the ROM zip, save it and then flash.....

Saves a lot of time, faffing about

Anyone know the solve of this what it is?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] stylemessiah:
Nup, i dont run Linux for a start

Do not use the builtin compression tools in Windows...ever..at least install 7zip....

I just use WinRAR, open the ROM, find the file(s) i want to remove and hit the Delete key, or right click on the file(s) and click Delete, WinRAR recreates the zip as needed. Its just a normal zip file.....

Same with adding/editing a file...do it the same as you would any other zip file

Please dont ask me for a how to on zip files, if youre here, you should know how to manipulate them by now :)

Also please, under pain of death, do not ask me what i remove (as i always point out, and why i dont share my settings/tweaks: what works for me may break **** for you)...i will ignore you and then geotrack you and have you terminated :)

Hi, there is no such thing as a battery friendly. What i can comment is only stability & good battery backup

If you are trying to know how people get those SOT >4hrs or maybe up to few days..................is probably they never use the smartphone at all & mostly they are on wifi or aeroplane mode to achieve that with screen on without touching anything.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lucamtb:
I really do not know how some of you can last 3 or more dais but I arrive at the end of the day with 30/40(sometime50) percentage left; so I confirm that the battery drain is very good indeed

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

One question on the GPS:

why it can not be possible to have a high precision with LTE connection and GPS only?

why we need to add wifi and buetooth if we are in mountain or werever (in italy we do not have free wifi areas for example) it waste only battery.

I ask this because doing mountain bike track log on this occasion I arrive at hoem with 20% only, perhaps without GPS and bluetooth I could save other 15-25%

Thanks

If you want more features and optimizations, flash Stable 4. This stellar ROM is updated whenever [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] has added more features or fixed more bugs and we on the Test Team has tested and signed off on it. We are currently not testing a newer build; therefore, there is no update on the horizon.

Flash Stable 4 because it is really, really good! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nwlun:
Hi, I think you don't understand how the battery work. The pic post by ztlov926 is that if he don't touch the phone it can last for about 3day. That's call battery backup & side did a superb job on that. Once he make a contact on the screen or using apps it won't count as 3day, its will probably drop to 1day & below.

And looking at the pic again I was wondering why the top part is crop?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rhoban:
So, if you read what other people say, why are you even asking then?

It's pretty obvious, from what you've read, that some have battery problems and some don't. Which leads me to believe that the drain problem is not related to the ROM at all but the owner of the device and how he uses said device.

In conclusion, nobody can give you a clear answer to your question. Every person will say what his personal experience was, but that's not a standard, as people use their phones differently and there are many factors that can change the experience completely.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sgeorgi:
Attached the logcat.txt. Has anybody found the time to have a look into this file regarding the smart cover issue. Under official LOS and rr it is running without any issue. It is an issue with LOS optimized.

With smart cover closed in standby = battery drain.

With smart cover open in standby = no battery drain. I attached the logcat again. You need to rename in logcat.zip and unzip to the txt file.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sgeorgi:
Could it be that people reporting about battery drain are using smart covers too? It is definitely an issue of optimized ROM. I see the issue even with an clean install without any further apps and battery drain happens only with smart cover closed.

With smart cover open it is not an issue.

I don't understand why this ROM celebrated "optimized" and "stable" in 4th release. There are many users in the field with smart covers. So this bug is not just cosmetic for an exotic group of people.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] benlm72:
Hi all,

I can confirm a similar behaviour. I've posted here some weeks ago about high battery drain. I've clean reinstalled stable 4, didn't add numerous apps to test, check with BBS. But it doesn't change anything. And I finally manage to find what was the pb, very similar to your one : I use a smart cover (clutch bag) with a window on it, and I've noticed that, when putting my phone screen off in it, it awakes my phone and remains it with screen on, even pushing the on/off button doesn't switch the screen off. And when a notification awakes my phone, the screen switch on and remains on. I have a partial workaround disabling notifications to switch the screen on, but it's not satisfying.

This pb doesn't occur with previous releases of this rom. I just can't say if it's since 14.1 or only since stable 3, where I've noticed that pb.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rhoban:
We don't have a team of thousands of people, like Samsung. We are a small testing team (probably 4 actively testing), so we can't test every every single byte. None of us even use a Smart Cover, so there was no possible way for us to even find such a bug.

As I said in a reply to another user - user experience varies from phone to phone.

Use stock kernel. If my assumption is correct, then you shouldn't have any drain with that cover.

Also, the "Optimized" part has absolutely nothing to do with your statement. "Optimized" means something is running better than the default version.

"Better" also has a lot of meanings too; it doesn't mean it's bugfree. In this case, "better" means it performs better than stock, performance wise.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] tobefond:
Hello JDCTeam,

I think it can be an endless discussion about what is considered stable or not stable. Different groups have a different view to this topic.

Reasonable battery usage should be one criteria and excessive battery drain should not be called "stable". There are people just complaining about battery drain without any further information - maybe caused by Apps that are running crazy.

BUT other people (like me and already a second user in this forum) spent efforts no narrow the issue down and they found out that battery drain is definitely related to a malfunction of the ROM with smart-covers. We did the testing for you. Smart-covers are NOT an exotic Bluetooth device that is not communicating. The smart-cover-magnetic-switch belongs to the regular HW configuration of the S4 like a notification LED or MHL output. If this ROM is "optimized" for the S4 and called "stable" all HW features should work - at least in basic operation - isn't it right?

The only tooling the developers would need to simulate a smart cover is just little magnet. I know you are not thousands of developers - but you have thousands of users. That translates to hundreds with smart-cover.

Would it be possible for you to investigate this malfunction of your ROM? Many users like me would like to use this ROM for daily use (with smart-cover).Less users would complain about battery drain - not knowing about their smart cover and the issue with this ROM.

I know this text sounds demanding but my intension is not to upset the JDCTeam ;)

The question you have asked has been answered before.

The camera app freezes after a picture, this is a known bug. Additionally the video recorder doesn't work at all.

Use the Google Camera 4.1 and taking pictures will work just not videos.
