Instead of replying to a rather old post you should have made yourself familiar with the forum rules. They can be found here: https://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?a=81.

They are not supposed to supress users but to make life more efficient for all, especially for the maintainers and developers spending their free time for the community. First question you should ask (yourself) is: Has your problem already be questioned (and answered). The answer to this question can easily be found by using the search function for the thread. And indeed, there's the confirmation from [MENTION=8707388]The Mighty Buzzard[/MENTION] that Version8 is "Working peachy keen with no tweaks necessary after a clean install." https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74513656&postcount=7664

So probably the best way to solve your problem is to do a clean install (again?).

If the problem persists you should follow another rule: support log(s) showing the problem so that the maintainer(s) know where to search for the solution. But still then, you cannot expect a fast response from the developers to your problem. If you followed another forum rule by reading other posts of the thread, you know that [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] maintains our beloved device besides his main device and at the same time is working on an oreo release for S4 (and he does this for us in his free time!). So, if there really was a generally problem with the device type you use, [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] might search for a problem - when he finished the other open topics and when he gets logs for this device.

If you are forced to use your device as daily driver and cannot get it to work, there are other roms working for your device (e.g. previous versions of this optimized rom or at least the stock rom).

Regardless of what version; constantly getting "No Service" "Emergency calls only" or "Home" network without LTE (not letting me browse web, YouTube, etc). Google has left me dry. APNs are OK. There are many times when I can't receive or make phone calls (they automatically get forwarded to voicemail). I've gotten a second phone (prepaid) because of this, as I simply can't depend on one phone sometimes working. If this has been revolved please send me to the "link of resolution". If not then wtf. I'm ready to go back to Optimized CM13, where, at least, I didn't have problems making or receiving phone calls. Xposed yes. Link2sd yes. More detail upon reply. Please help.

Procedural error

Attribute to procedural errors... on your part... most likely.

Simple matter of maintaining a [stock ROM] NANDROID backup could possibly have helped alleviate you of this burden.

And this is when the dark clouds rolled in... though I have good news for you.

OPTCM13 still has some downloads available... for now.

May want to jump on that.

Also, there are some slots available on OPTCM13 forums for your posts.

May want to jump on that, too.

Be careful out there... disappointments abound.

Plausibly genuine need for assistance accompanied by what I perceive to be feigned courtesy.

Enjoy the rewards.

a little info might help? like phone model# your carrier ? how are you flashing? clean dirty ect...I would load the stock rom do a PRL-PROFILE update if you use a sim card then do a clean flash, Ive tried jut about all the buils and one way or another they work some of the earlier build needs some tweaks but running the 14b is flawless and very stable for me sph-l720 cdma

I have a Stock ROM NANDROID backup, and all Optimized CM13 downloads saved on a portable hard drive. I've tried many different versions of 14, I've tried not using Xposed, I've even tried running it and not installing anything on the phone at all. This is the only post I could find where the user was having similar issues

Thank you for your reply, if you have any other suggestions please let me know :)

I have an SM-S975L and my carrier is StraightTalk. I am doing clean installs. I will do the PRL-PROFILE update. Thank you.

Hey

Thank for last update. Smooth and everything is working fine.

I just wanna ask about the battery life, I have 2:30h SoT

It's normal with non TW ROMs ? There is any different between TW ROMs battery performance and Nought ROMs ?

Thanks

Hey [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION]. Big fan of your work. I've been using your rom for quite so long. Currently using stable3 version and want to upgrade on the new one. Just wanted to ask one question before i prepare for flash. I have L720 gsm unlocked, and I previously tweeked build.prop to make it work on gsm. Been reading there is no need to do that since version6 ? Just wanted to know if i have to do tweeking on the version9. Just making sure, because i want to do a clean install once again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xqme:
12-15-2017 this time I tried Side's kernel instead of stock kernel to solve the dead touch screen problem after first screen blanking, on i337. Works great!

I flashed the OC3 modem.bin and that works on the ancient phone.

Again, I actually drove Uber for two years with these roms, nightlies even. I think I had one chance to burn a new recovery, and then knox updated somehow or something, so I can't update TW so I have to bring in the old one(twrp-2.8.7.0-jflteatt.img) that was accepted before updating android the first time. I can burn the old recovery back in from "here" because knox or whatever remembers the old twp as mama. I mention this with twp because I wonder if the new oreo-compat twp is needed to move on into 15. I might try that oreo twp and side opt lineageos 15 alpha on an i545 I picked up free this week.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ralfbergs:
I think you may be confusing something...

By default Alucard will be installed, that's not side's kernel. And this kernel is known for that kind of problems. If you install the non-standard kernel, you install the standard LOS kernel, which could be called "stock."

Install report:

Dirty flashed over version 8 (but version 8 itself was clean install with apps restored via Titanium Backup). Flashed open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20171216. Reboot took a long time (maybe 5 minutes? I wasn't with a phone the whole time). After reboot phone was laggy, slow animations, unresponsive apps, menus... After couple of hours of non use I rebooted again and now I got the speed back.

Everything works fine. Faster than a rocket!

thats leaving out adding Viper4Android, uninstalling unnecessary (for me) system apps, and any tweaks, but id still call that my bare minimum. Its why ive run 7.0 for so long, because i had zero issues. i didnt upgrade to this latest build because i had to, i wanted to....

Theres a reason guys like me dont populate these threads with bug reports....even when theres the ability to dirty flash (on the same base) we dont....you might see a correlation there.

Has anyone tried to play PoGo on this rom ? I managed to do unroot and it still doesnt work, i suspect its because SELinux is set to permissive. I can temporarily change it to enforcing but it resets on reboot. I also hexedited SELinux enforcing in boot.img but it only resulted in phone not being able to boot at all. Any advice ?

Btw thank you devs for your work and dedication.

All I ever do is Wipe, cache, davlik, data, and delete /extsd/android. If it's a major update or change from another build I may wipe intsd, too. Is that half assed?? Don't see me making threads far longer than they should be, whatever that means.

Not everyone is armpits-deep into Android. That's why these threads are here. To help those who have issues....

Pokemon Go doesnt work on rooted phones, that means i have to unroot after I set SELinux to enforcing. After that SELinux changer stops working due to no root afaik.

The same with camera option in screen settings.

Why this is not working?

Maybe because i use Stock Kernel?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] hougga:
Morning all :)

Well about battery life, I got decent SOT with more than 4hours most of the time. But i experienced a drop of juice when idle for first 2 nights (my phone went off with about 42% consumed through the night!?) .. I suspected a misuse, GPS on,.. Etc.. None was the case .. Then last night I fully charged it and made a survey with BBS (big thanks to this beautiful community for all the APK developed here and there ?) and i am sharing with you screenshots.

Conclusion : without any tweaks the battery drain is quite normal. You can go through the day EASILY.

Ps: About 5 years old i9505, with brand new anker battery 2600mah.

For me I got 0-1% battery drain over 7 hours...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] othermark:
Maybe for the OP:

The pico gapps from open gapps is *still* too big for i-9505g (Google Edition) after the Rom is installed. As mentioned a in a single post in this thread I had to use a different minimal packaging. A-Gapps in this case: https://xdaforums.com/android/general/gapps-gapps-7-0-nougat-minimal-t3474980

Not only that, but you could *not* install it after the first boot of the system, it had to be installed before first boot or Play Services would crash all over the place.

So maybe something to think about for the next release is paring down the file sizes in /system or cleaning it up a bit to save space so open gapps could be installed on this device.

Otherwise, great ROM! Thanks!

Hi there, I tested the rom with 3 different batterys, and I can confirm that the rom is consuming a lot. Even with a high capacity one the phone goes off in 12 hours with out a Sim card inserted. All the rest is working like a charm.

Hello guys, another stupid question from me ;)

I was playing with Display > Color engine - Theme and I tried a couple of combinations.

Apart from that I changed wallpaper (home and lockscreen), applied icon pack and blurred lockscreen.
