WiFi

Is anyone else getting WiFi drops when the screen is off on the latest beta4? It reconnects when I wake the phone but is a data usage worry.

Apart from that, this is an amazing rom. So slick. I am using the Alucard kernel with darkness governors if that helps?

Edit: I changed to stock kernel and the problem seems to have gone away. This is now perfect, many thanks for your hard work and general excellence :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] andreacos92:
I also tried to install this rom as secondary (CM13 optimized as primary) with dual boot patcher, but I had some troubles. I don't think the problem regards the AROMA installer.

Non AROMA zip doesn't install, it fails when flashing the Alucard kernel (something regarding Loki patcher if I remember well).

With AROMA zip, you can flash the ROM only if you choose the Stock Kernel, it will boot without problem. But for some reasons, my device doesn't detect the SIM card (Baseband unknown, no signal, no IMEI, etc...), while the primary ROM works without problem.

I think it's not a mandatory job for side and JDC to make their ROM suitable for dual boot, and simply some of the Alucard kernel optimizations didn't go well with dual boot.

About the SIM card issue, maybe I will try to reflash the modem with Odin.

However, if anyone have some suggestion... :fingers-crossed:

Have been trying to get this new release running properly for some time. Several clean installations, two different downloads, different opengapps releases, and each time performance extremely sluggish and essentially unusable. Several minutes to install Chrome with strong WiFi connection. Will try a dirty flash, after I restore backup. Last chance saloon. I was realty looking forward to installing update because this has been by far the best nougat ROM. Any ideas Side what might be causing the problem. I didn't use any tweaks or other downloads.

I don't find that toggle. You sure it's in the latest rom of [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] - beta 4 ?

If you can make a screenshot then it would be easier for me
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] robdhayes:
Since no one has mentioned it yet: I really like the new Lineage bootup animation... nice and clean.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] OathYvne:
I just installed beta4. It was there in beta2, it's no longer there now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] tRrick Deckard:
Normally i am just little behind the lines, but after gettin myself into "Now it's the time to update" i first wanna say a big huge THX to side and jdc team for that hard, but perfect work.

I had no install problems at all. Downloaded, collected pico gapps, and followed the faq. I wasnt in the need of any backwarded cache/dalvik clearing.

After downloading all the needed stuff via ps, the system was little laggy. I think that action was just to much. In the morning, after powerdown and recharging, the rom was, and is, running like hell. Om the old optimized version i only was able to get around 3h sot, maximum. After the hole day working with the new version it raises upto 4h,maximum.

Thats so damn nice.

Afterall i noticed myself 2 bothering things:

- too less free substratum themes {totally new to it} or after checking 2 free versions with error messages i am really unsure if the paid ones working

- the stock browser wasnt saving inputs, url, passwords, history, so i had to replace it.

At all, the time was perfectly right to update. Hope you all enjoy that fine, here 100% working, release.

Again, thx the team and side for the man at front - here on xdc.

Side: Tried dirty flash. Same result. ROM unusable. Downloads excruciatingly slow, installing updates forever. Chrome freezing.

*Some dirty installed optcm14 over optcm13

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Hmm... I did a clean flash of the aroma build (also wiped internal storage) coming from OptCM13. I used OpenGapps pico. I also got stuck at the Tap & Go screen. I had to reboot twice to continue forward. After that, I have encountered zero errors and bugs and battery life is better than OptCM13. Great job, Mr. Side. :highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] elv1503:
Not for me it didn't. And Side I haven't been on anything other than cm14 for a very long time. All the issues I had were a clean install of latest opt.14 and latest opengapps nano. The backup I used as a last resort, to try a dirty flash was of opt. 14 Dec 25. I really would like to get it working. The only thing I didn't do was try stock kernel. I would appreciate your help with this, and as I've done many times in the past, I thank you for your time, effort and knowledge.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
If you like OptCM13, you will LOVE this ROM! I flashed this ROM this morning after resisting for months due to Xposed not yet working on N. I'm glad I finally flashed this ROM (coming from OptCM13) because it is noticeably faster and smoother than OptCM13.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] parageria:
what i make

clean install ,(with wipe-format internal storage), aroma installer , alucard kernel (i don't touch enything) , opengapps nano 18/1/2017.

and i setup my phone as new device ( don't restore enything app i install all again-and restore only my contacts and some files).

that s all.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] demlasjr:
Hey guys, I've used the last build 24h and works excellent. 14 hours since I pulled of the charger and I still have 41% battery. No freeze, no black screen. The install went fast and cool, with the SIM card inserted, I have installed "stock" opengapps, I had the next button and I could install it.

BTW, I returned to ext4 for all partitions.

Thanks [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION]!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] elv1503:
That's my point... Did all that...twice. I have been flashing ROMs for years so I know how it's done. Never had this before
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lucamtb:
I have done the first step, odin told me that I pass but if i go on recovery it doen not appear twrp :confused:

any suggestion?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mynacol:
You have to directly boot in recovery because the stock firmware overwrites the recovery at start

In TWRP will be a message to "patch" the system so TWRP will be persistent

I recommend disabling Auto Reboot in Odin and pulling the battery after flash and then replug the battery and start directly into recovery
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] JorX_AD:
I cant get any theme working in Substrate in Beta4. It says "Theme compiled with no errors" But then nothing changes and there is nothing in advanced.

Do i need to do something special to get it working ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lucamtb:
great it works. Thanks

When you do a clean install, it's not necessary. Sometimes with custom rom's they advice NOT to wipe cache/dalvik after a clean install. I don't know exactly why. So i have taken that advice (can't find the forum thread where explaind though) anyways, yesterday this method worked for me(personal);)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lucamtb:
ok. now I installed the rom witout any problem but but the gapps (I have tried pico and mini that are what I would prefer) because I have an error: 20 - unmonting / system

do I need to download AMR64 instead of AMR? and or 7.1 instead of 6?

I have used ARM and 6 (that were setup authomatically)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mynacol:
ARM is for our beloved S4 the right selection.

The OpenGapps package "version" has to match the android version (there is your fault)

The package size "pico" up to "super" differs in included apps
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lekiaM:
ARM it is. And Pico from Opengapps will work. So ARM, 7.1, Pico:good:

Can somebody help me, i got into my the os, everything works, except wifi, it doesnt seem to turn on... everything works, i finished the setup, but the wifi doesnt want to turn on at all, please can someone help me?

OK, now the installation was succesful.

Tomorrow I will go through app installation, setup, and test.

Good day! What's the workaround in this assistant? how can I enable that 'use screen context'? A little help pls. Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] markiarom:
First day and i already love this ROM!

Although had to change governor (i'm using ondemand and it seems to work pretty well) because alucard give me lags. Still not found setting to hide superuser icon on upper bar. However ROM seems to be really battery friendly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] JDtheHutt:
I have been having some awful issues with my external sdcard since I moved from the 5.x version of Optimised to 7.x. I had assumed it was due to the F2FS bug and [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] had also mentioned an IO driver problem. I have been having random file creation, deletion and moving problems with the external sd. It is a 64GB Samsung Evo and definitely not a fake as I bought through a verified seller and have been using it for ages with no issue. Additionally, I have used it fine in other device and my desktop Linux PC..

However, I seem to have discovered the issue. When I went to Optimised 7.x Beta 1, I left the external sdcard as it was in F2FS as it only holds music, pictures and other data and does not act as any kind of storage for the phone services. Android has been itself using the external sdcard for some caching but I wiped all of that out before sticking into my new 7.x install, leaving just the media on it. That is when the problems started with files on the device. Sometimes I would copy stuff over to the card from the internal memory and it would create a folder but claim there was nothing inside or all files would shows as 0B and they would refuse to delete. Yet, if I went into TWRP and used the file manager there then I could see everything, create, delete, move, copy etc with no problem.

When I wiped the phone again to go to 7.x Beta 3 the problems continued. When I went to 7.x Beta 4 earlier I changed everything back to ext4 and decided to wipe the sdcard as well and load all the media back on manually from my desktop, which worked perfectly. Stick it into my phone and the problems immediately return. I try a different sdcard, same problem. Then I realise something. I formatted both of these cards in TWRP 3.0.2, both when as F2FS and as ext4. This time I boot the phone up and format the cards using the built-in feature in the storage menu option. Both cards now work perfectly.

So, is there some issue with TWRP not formatting correctly? Is this just related to external sdcards or will this be affecting my internal storage too? However, I used TWRP 3.0.2 when I was on 5.x with no issues and had formatted my sdcard through it then with no problems in its operation, so is this instead some change in 7.x which means that TWRP formatted cards now have something about them which it doesn't like compared to 5.x?

If anyone else has had similar issues or knows the reasons and confirmed solutions, please let me know. Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] elv1503:
Finally got it to work by flashing stock kernel. Dirty flashed alucard and it works much better now. Stock works slightly better. Thanks to all who offered assistance.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] JDtheHutt:
I have just realised that Android has formatted the card as vfat. Is that the issue then? Is there some problem with 7.x using filesystems on external sdcard other than vfat? I've only ever used ext4 and F2FS before now and had no issue, so it seems odd for it to suddenly get grumpy now. But it's the only explanation I have at the moment, even if I don't know the specifics as to why.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] river.eliason:
Can't get past the setup screen

when i installed the rom it worked fine but i got to the tap and go section and there is no skip button, sorry if someone already asked this i didn't look.

You only have to read the last few pages since the release and it comes up multiple times with multiple answers.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xmicroman:
It wouldn't hurt to put a note on the 1st page to alert people to this issue. Just saying, it would save a lot of typing. Thanks Slide for your work.

Has anybody figured out why wifi disconnects with screen off?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Ike13:
Because in the settings it's set by default. You have to change it manually.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rhoban:
Mine came in vfat. Never had a single problem with it. So why not just use it as vfat?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lekiaM:
Ive had the same isue, i did a sd card repair on my laptop after the first install of Beta4 which was not successful. After the first install (which was not successful) my Sdcard turns out to be vfat to! (don't know why) But after a SDcard repair in Windows, all my files where still on my SDcard so i went on with the second install and turns out to be very successful and my SDcard still is vfat.

And indeed, why bother? If everything works? :)

If you don't want to get stuck at the setup wizard loop, then don't connect to a WiFi and/or mobile data. Nor should you login to the Google account until after the wizard.

Think you can survive 2 minutes without WiFi? :p

This is far simpler than the whole "Flash ROM, boot the ROM, then reboot to recovery to flash gapps" process
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] marko.dnb:
I noticed small bug on Beta3 and Beta4. It happens once or twice during the day. Screen just goes black (pink screen for a millisecond). After pressing power button couple of times screen turns on and everything is back to normal. I always forget to take bug report, will do next time when this occur :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] portaleus:
Same for me, but on CM13.1 official. I think it begins some months ago. At this point I do not know if it's a bug or simply because the screen ages.

I also have the screen flickering below 15-20% brightness and I am quite sure it is an hardware problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tobaste:
Already tried this yesterday, because I had no WiFi or mobile signal available. Still got the NFC-no-skip-problem...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MaxFire913:
Maybe u should change battery status style to " text " :good:

N how could u theme the launcher by the way ?!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] markiarom:
I cannot set brightness down to 50% if phone is cold. More phone get warm, more i can decrease brightness. I think i'll leave this phone for another when screen will flicker also on 100% brightness :-\

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rhoban:
I just flashed the ROM today and had no problems whatsoever with the setup wizard.

I didn't even see anything related to NFC.

But I also blaze through the setup, stopping only to untick some stuff, so that may be why.

---------- Post added at 01:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

I have had this problem for ages, back into Optimised 5.x. I can't remove it completely but you can reduce the issues by deactivating absolutely everything in Display which relates to auto-brightness, adaptive display, display power saving, anything which tries to intelligently change your display based on sensor info. I assume there is a hardware fault or something coded somewhere in CM which isn't working correctly but it has been around for a long time as a fault.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
My screen does not flicker at 15%, 50% or 100% nor does my phone get warm at any level of brightness.

This maybe the reason my screen and brightness levels work so well. I always turn off all of the automatic display stuff. Nothing would be adjusted the way I liked it so I adjust everything manually when needed and I have more control and zero display problems.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] markiarom:
Imho is a hw problem

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

I can disable all of automations but i'll have brightness issue. It's hw related, i'm not the only having this kind of problem, also other people with different ROM (stock/modded)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Did you wipe System, Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache partitions before flashing this ROM? Since I came from OptCM13, I also wiped Internal Storage. That's always a good idea whenever changing Android versions.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] markiarom:
Always done full wipe. Check on Google for screen flicker. Some say that GPU for rendering solve issue, for me and for more other people this isn't a solution. Change display assembly solve for sure but i don't want to spend 100€ in a phone when for 100€ i can buy a better one
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Does the screen flicker on other ROMs? If so, it is probably a hardware issue. It has never flickered on my device and I'm a super ROM tester and user.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] markiarom:
Yes man, also on other ROM. It was long time ago when i tried my last TW ROM, but i'm pretty sure other people has same problemo also on TW
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
You may want to Odin back to stock just to clean everything out. If it still flickers, it is definitely a hardware problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] elv1503:
Generally wiping cache/ dalvik cache resolves WiFi issues. Sometimes a simple reboot can do it. Try reboot first.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] markiarom:
Yes, i can (and maybe will) try. But in fact this problem is directly related to phone warmness, so it make me think that can't be a sw problem.. i think is flex cable/led controller related
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tobaste:
That would be awesome, only reason I am using another ROM mostly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] marko.dnb:
If your screen is flickering, consider to save your data first :) Your display can die today, tomorrow, next week, you'll never know :/ My friend replaced screen last year, about $50 cost. Repair service will most likely wipe your phone data (my friend lost everything...)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] markiarom:
I know man, i know T.T so it worth to spend 50€ to have (mostly) a fake replacement on a 3/4 years old phone instead of taking, for example, a xiaomi mi4 for 95€? Only really big, enormous downside will be to lost this beautiful ROM..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] portaleus:
[MENTION=4204995]sjamie[/MENTION] Unfortunately, I can confirm that screen flickering also happens on TW stock...

Thanks, I am Titanium-ready ;) but I tend to think my screen will die slowly, as it more a hw misconception (or planned obsolescence) rather than a default.

Glad to see not every device is concerned.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Yes, I have 3 devices and none of them have any screen flickering (i337, i337M, M919).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] markiarom:
Have you used them more on high or low brightness? I think low brightness levels made this type of screen more damage than high ones
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
I keep all of them at 50% brightness.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 63ck0:
Can't confirm that low brightness levels would damage the AMOLED screen of S4. Due to better battery life, I am using my I9505 always on very low brightness setting for more than three years now. I am using my phone a lot, I already had to replace the battery twice due to wearout. My screen is still working very well without any flickering or other issues.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Undefined Origin:
