OK, so I started to play around with stweaks, to see what's what. Sorry to nag, but I need to know. Are the predefined profiles fully compatible with the S4? And if I change something individually in one profile and then apply the same or other profile over my individual mods will they be overwritten by the predefined ones? (This would be good to know so that if I mess something up I can revert to default profile).

After searching vpn in settings you get a vpn option, but that's for manually inputing vpn settings. Alternatively, download an app from the playstore. I use Opera VPN sometimes since it is the fastest to connect to a server.

Using the 12 March version, fresh install with my T-mobile SGH-M919 S4, just a quick observation (sorry if it's been covered). The web browser is extremely laggy, text will not display that i type. Very buggy. However, the Pyrope browser works great and is what I'm used to since I'm coming from CM13 so I switched to that and have had zero issues otherwise. FYI, I did a few installs to see if there were any issues with my install procedure. Both the regular and Aroma versions had the same issue.

All in all, this works fantastic. Thank you so much for your hard work getting Lineage OS on the S4!!!

SM-S975L

Stable1

Nano GApps

Clean flash

All F2FS

Just tested setting both values to 255 in STweaks, rebooted, and it worked for me. Though I also see something odd. Before the change the LED would be a dim red when battery was below 90%, and now (at 87%) it is a bright orange instead. Also tested notifications LED by sending a few texts to myself and the LED is maximum brightness as well, whereas before the change it was dim.

I had the same issue with the built-in browser, so it may be a common issue.

By default for EU devices, there's by law a limit for headphone volume. Just do a Google search about it. Of course, these limits are only for manufactures and the user can change the values.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lekiaM:
Of course all profiles are compatible with the s4 (as a matter of fact Stweaks with Alucard Kernel gets always decent attention from the maintainer: [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] when he's busy with building his next ROM) check changelogs for example.

2ndly, yes. If you change something in a predefined profile, and you select afterwards another profile, all you settings are getting lost from your previous setup from your previous/predefined profile. Short way, as you already mentioned: "they will be overwritten"

3rdly, yes. You can allways revert back to the default profile or another predefined profile."if you don't screw things up"

The mixer path values are not dB. It's a percentage value. Also honestly I am too lazy measure those values on my own. U can test some values and tell me to import em. If I feel the values has sense, I will add em

Try skvalex call recording app. Not from the Playstore, but search for the thread here on XDA. When you install that one, make sure you flash the right supolicy_patch.zip with TWRP afterwards. Also grant it by supersu.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Ldjcdo:
In the meantime, you could use nougat quick settings. This app adds more tiles (you can decide which) and it includes the NFC tile.

What is Brighter Stock Settings-OptCM14-1.zip in Addons (download area)?

May it can solve my problems with brightness? And in case, have i flash it with some wipe?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Sma5hley:
You just need to flash a clean boot.img before flashing magisk. You can pull it straight out of the ROMs zip. There is an FAQ that details how to do it in the magisk forum.

May also have to flash unsu to get ride of any traces of the previous root method

Been rocking magisk + magisksu since the last ROM dropped and it is working without fault. The Arise plugin for magisk is tops.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] river.eliason:
I'm pretty sure that was for an older version of this rom
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Ldjcdo:
Back in beta 3 or 4, settings' background was a little yellowish instead of white. This add on turned it back to pure white.

Thanks for your concern, but I was referring to the recorder already put on the rom!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lekiaM:
Im gonna test it for you "without" skvalex. Just with the "build in" call recorder. Just to figured it out...

Edit: it "should" be working with the build in. I just got informed. Aldo i have to admit that's not working for me either. It's probably a CAF or ALSA issue. My advice is still to use an third-party app (for the time being).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
Bad cable / cable connection to phone / usb connector. Try a different cable initially.

I've had problems like this on stock ROMs previously, put phone on charge at night beside the bed and the phone kept making the usb connected sound. It was the cable that had loosened with age and a new one solved it.

Just installed stable1 on my 9505...

I have some questions:

How to turn off the wallpaper? I mean, where can I select "no wallpaper" option? I just want black background, no pictures on it.

How to turn on the small traffic icon in the status bar? Two small arrows and digits, indicating upload/download speed.

If you want a black wallpaper. Just take a picture with your finger over the lens and set it as wallpaper

Try to download the app, colors, from the playstore. You can choose whatever color you want as your wallpaper.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Pensionaru:
Has anyone experienced random shutting off on the phone? I'm on the Stable1 version, and phone shuts down when browsing Facebook, Instagram, writing SMS, at random times. I am suspecting the battery to be the problem, since I didnt see anyone here complaining about phone shutting down. I've opened the case and the battery seems to be pretty swollen and kinda rounded on sides. Also, this behavoiur happens at random battery percentages, so I cant isolate the problem and blame the battery either. However, I ordered a new battery from MPJ and its on its way, but till then, I have to live with those random shuttings, which might happen as often as 4 times a day. I dont really know what might be the problem. Could it also be something hardware related? Phone is only 2 years old, I dont see any reason why the battery would worn off so fast...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] TFutoMaki:
I think the battery is faulty. I had that issue with one of my batteries that got thicker (swollen) without me noticing it. Change the battery and you should be fine for that situation. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
You could try a different ROM and if the behavior continues, you can be pretty sure the battery is causing the problem.

I had this problem too!

I don't know how to install just a regular kernel. I had a hell of a time getting the installer to run all the way through, selecting things was absolutely ridiculous. I couldn't change any of the selections, and it was impossible to guess which buttons were being pushed. touchscreen didn't work. I am at a loss here.

Now once my screen goes to sleep or i hit the power button to put it to sleep, it refuses to respond to any touch once the screen is on. all the hardware buttons work though, I'm totally confused!

No maybe's - your battery is breaking down if it is swelling.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lekiaM:
Unfortunately our device is not really build for "some heavy" 3d games. Mostly it has nothing to do which kernel you use. Stock "or" Alucard. Also it doesn't really matter which Governor u use "or" Scheduler. Heavily tweaked kernels has their limits to(for our device)

Optimized or unofficial?

I've also come across some that say optimized and some that say unofficial, which should I choose?

Did you also download and flash the stock kernel per the instructions?

If that doesn't work, give the unofficial LOS ROM a try...

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
vvv vvv
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] bluefox83:
It does not boot with anything that says "dont wake alucard" at any point...i flash the rom, it asks to restart and that's it. Once it restarts it begins the phone setup.

perhaps I'm misunderstanding the instructions.

I'm using TWRP to flash the zip.

Well Hearthstone runs almost laglessly on TW, with custom kernel or with stock, the same goes for GPE ROM, where it is completely lagless. Also, Hearthstone is certified to be able to play on our device smoothly (https://i.stack.imgur.com/VrcJx.jpg), so the only thing I can think of causing it, is unfortunately the kernel. On the other hand, TW is sluggish in every other aspect soooo... I'm not sure if I'll ever get "best of both worlds"... (WizCyan 4 + Imperium kernel 5 w/ interactive CPU + ondemand/simple GPU)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Try performance governor with Alucard?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] david19au:
Did that when I was on Stable1 too - still lags/no difference. I even changed my resolution to 1280x720 and it still lagged.

I've made a *.png file with black color and the size of 1080*1920 pixels. Downloaded it to phone memory and I finally have my black background. The only thing I don't understand is... why should I do all that stuff? There should be an option "no wallpaper" in the settings...

No one payed attention to my second question... I had that icon on older version of the ROM. And I can't find where can I turn it on on stable1...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sleepyg72786:
Look for "Internet Speed Meter Lite" by DynamicApps in the Play Store. The option is no longer in this ROM; I think it's just not a part of LineageOS yet. I've used this app as a replacement for that feature and it works well. Even had a data usage meter in it. Pretty good. I like it. YMMV.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] echo_21:
According to [MENTION=4790700]nlansing[/MENTION] you'll most probably make your S4 able to play that game by using stock kernel. So what exactly do you loose if you don't use Alucard kernel anymore?

I mean what's the purpose of being able to control many many parameters of a kernel if that kernel prevents you doing essential things even TW allows you to do?

Hey readers, please don't misunderstand me. I don't say any word about Alucard being a poor kernel! I don't have any personal experience about Alucard kernel spoiling our S4. I am just a reader of this thread trying to learn and trying to help other readers to learn. I don't neither want fake news nor alternative facts. I want to eliminate myths and subjective feelings about ROMs, kernels, apps, etc. As an engineer employed by a silicon valley company I simply want reliably documented reliable facts.

In this case I just want us readers to learn what users really loose if they replaced Alucard by stock kernel.

Hi [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION]

I'm still having problems with Bluetooth HFP profile. I noticed the changelog from 20th Jan had the change: Bluetooth: Allow HFP protocol. Now I see in the current changelog we have the change: Add HPF bt profile. Does that mean additional support will come with the next build?

So far only TW ROMs seem to work correctly with Bluetooth HFP.

Also does this ROM support phone book sharing with the PBAP (Phone Book Access Protocol)?

I have tried the recently released JDC AOSP 7.1.2 and Bluetooth HFP does not work there either. So it seems 7.1.2 does not fix this bug.

Thanks for working to keep this device alive. Apart from this issue the ROM is pretty much flawless.

Correction: TW ROMs and CM12 both work fine with phone audio via HFP and contact sharing with PBAP so this can be made to work with custom ROMs.

Then I must have some kind of super vision because I'm playing Duel Links at 480x854 resolution and can read the text clearly.

It's a small screen, dude, having such high resolutions doesn't really make a big difference as it would on a computer screen. On this small screen even 360P looks decent.

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

What essential things would that be?

You lose responsiveness. Alucard is more responsive than any stock kernels. Apps open faster and general phone performance is better than with the stock kernel. Trust me, I tried.

The reason why CrapWiz and GPE perform better in games is probably due to their drivers being straight from Samsung (Yes, GPE was also made by Samsung). They probably optimized those drivers better for the hardware.

The drivers of CM/Lineage are coming from CAF, which may not be optimized, they are simply made to have a functional GPU.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] david19au:
If you know Game Tuner from Samsung (it changes resolutions od games) - I changed the resolution to 40% of Full HD and the text on cards in Hearthstone went almost unreadable.

Can we anyhow optimize the CAF drivers then?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xk0niR:
If I remember correctly there is an App called GLTools which allow you to lower textures etc for better perfomance. I would check it out (not sure if it works with Nougat).

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] martihnus:
The optimization of Alucard kernel is very good (better than stock, but hey if you have problem with unresponsive screen after lock, you would be happy for stock too :D ). I broke my screen and with a new one (original, but newer model straight from Samsung) I can't use Alucard. But before that noticed the performance difference in daily tasks (loading apps, booting, less heat, more responsive, better battery life) with Alucard. Is Alucard active somewhere? I tried to contact him here, gihub, email but no answer. I would like to know if it could be fixed as more and more people are having this issue (I would voluntare for testing and help). So if someone has contact to him or If Alucard himself is reading this please contact me.
