Really greatest build! Only one problem: when first running ROM (clean install) phone asks me if I want to restore from online backup, but I can't because phone isn't connected to WiFi. I can only restore manually.

Flashed ROM and gapps pico
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] LunarLander:
I ensured my stuff was backed up to google, booted into twrp, did the "factory wipe", then did the aroma install for the first time (have just used regular installs previously), that was interesting and very easy.

To answer the question of a following post about no wifi for the app restore part, I told the installer to restore my previous apps and data, but that just sets a flag to do it and get your credentials for the login. The install correctly detected the wifi wasn't up and didn't try to download all those programs. Instead, after the reboot (which only took maybe 4 minutes), I opened the alert section and it showed the downloads waiting on wifi availability. I went over to the network config, got that set up, and within a minute those apps were automatically downloading, with all the rest of my data.

These geniuses have made it so fricking easy to do what is, behind the scenes, a massively complex process, I am so impressed. And grateful. I sent them some beer money. :)

Just a quick tip for anyone who uses MTP a lot, i do, add this to your build.prop, and you will get a popup selection box whenever you plug your device in to a PC

#USB Option Popup
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp

One of my fave build.prop tweaks, i am so lazy i hate dragging down the notification , tapping to bring it up and then selecting what mode i want...

Meanwhile im back on Stable 3, and its terrible "battery drain"

If only id greenified all those nasty apps..why bother...blank Greenify:

Plenty of stuff running in the background...so no need to greenify any of them

Even tapatalk is running, generating plenty of wakelocks and im getting all my messages...wheres the "battery drain"?

Completely untweaked...no battery drain...so i still dont get how people bang on about the "terrible battery drain", i assume as always theyre using original batteries form 4 years ago...try buying a new one.and stop banging on about it being the ROM.....new battery..it will work wonders
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jrhotrod:
Thanks! So helpful. Is there a tweak to enable MTP by default when plugged into a PC?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] stylemessiah:
No way I've personally found yet that isn't completely ignored, the prompt is the closest I've found
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jrhotrod:
Good to know.

By the way, where'd you buy your new battery? I don't plan on buying one myself (my S4 is just used over WiFi) but my sister has one that's giving her some real issues.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] markiarom:
Uhm, I'm not sure i understood, but thanks anyway! I'll try on future updates, but for this if I asked to restore, phone continued to ask me a wifi. Simply couldn't go any further because of this behaviour, instead I told to not backup and go with a fresh new phone and then it asked me a Google account.

How did you manage to make this ROM compatible for all Snapdragon variants of the S4?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
kernel is made for s4 (lineage guys and alucard did so).

the difference is that device tree had to use all RIL stuff to make it work for all cellular variants

if u ask that,the changes are included in:

kernel

device tree

opt/telephony

apps/carrierconfig
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jrhotrod:
Thanks. If I wanted to flash official Lineage for the Verizon S4 onto my Sprint variant, would there be any way to port it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
its not that easy to do so mate.u need to rebuild it
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jrhotrod:
That's what I figured. I'd heard that other people were able to flash ROMs for different variants onto their device. I'm not desperate enough for official Lineage to do that, but will keep it in mind for other phones. Opt-LOS is great anyway :good:

I flashed Stable 4 since 3/4 days and I am having, respect Stable 3, some force close and problems with bluetooth headset, it sometimes does not want to pair.

I flashed doing clean install (cache, delvik, data, system) with Alucard Kernel

EDIT

New force close this morning. I try to change the kernel (going to stock kernel) otherwise I have to come back to Stable 3 :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] trasabdcf:
Stable 4, clean install, alucard kernel, lte on/off switch from the drop down doesn't work. Previous builds had a similar problem, it wouldn't work at first, but I'd go to the menu manually, set 3g from there and after that set lte from switch, it would work permanently. Now the trick does not work anymore.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:

Hi [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION], I thank you for your hard work with both Opt CM13/LOS13 and Opt LOS14,

I've been lurking your threads for some time and now I've finally (clean) flashed Stable 4 and I've got a couple of questions:

about modem/bootloader, is the XXUFNAD still the best choice for battery drain/heating for EU phones?

about the quick setting tiles, is there any way to get back the system profiles tiles without installing 3rd party apps from Google Play?

cheers!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] trasabdcf:

Hi tvsite,

can you please help me, how to turn on the media storage during bootup?

I'm having the same issue: I cannot connect the phone to a Win7-PC. I would like to backup data with MyPhoneExplorer, but it doesn't connect. It says "No phone connected".

With Optimized LineageOS 13.0 that was not a problem.

I still have the issue that my screen randomly turns black sometimes and I have to press the power button two times to "wake up" the device again. Can get really annoying. Is this a known issues?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] tvsite:
Go the settings and tap on Memory. You will see "Apps started on boot" Tap this and you will see all Apps started on boot.

Tap the Media Storage one and tap all the buttons to on. The buttons will turn green. Exit out of settings and re-boot your phone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mynacol:
Had this for some time but it seems to randomly appear/disappear. I have really no clue what is causing it although I'm sticking with one of the default profiles in STweaks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jensinger65:
Thanks tvsite,

but "Media Storage" was already started while booting.

Maybe the problem is caused by something that waltheboss mentions here:

So i'll wait for the fix to use MyPhoneExplorer again as a backup solution.

Can anybody direct me to a TWRP mirror page? The site has been down, and I can't get the latest recovery img.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] tvsite:
Try turning off media storage on boot, reboot your phone, then turn on media storage on boot, then re-boot your phone.

I did this & got to connect to my windows 10 computer. It seems far-fetched but it worked for me.

What version of gapps did you flash? Have you clean flashed the rom? Just to eliminate this possibility, have you used gaps 7.1 latest? Try pico. This is what I use and I also flash it by adding it to flash list in twrp. I had zero problems.

I have the i9507 and have tried installing CM14.1 because my phone was stuck in boot loop. I installed twrp 3.1.0 via Odin and it seemed to successfully install the new version of android no problem. The phone started up normally and got past the boot cycle and displayed the first setup screen. However, when I pressed next, the phone screen went pink and rebooted back to the first setup page again. I also tried installing with clean wipe and still doesn't work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
That is a VERY old version and will definitely cause you problems. Get the latest pico gapps from www.OpenGapps.org.

I have the same problem with stable 4 aroma installer. when the setup wizard starts after the first boot, i am asked to log in to my google account. obviously this fails, as it did not ask me to connect to wifi first. I can also not pull down the status bar to set it up.

therefore i have to skip the whole online part, including restoring apps etc. from my google account. after the wizard, i can active the wifi from the menus as usual.

EDIT:

I got the i9505, bootloader is XXUHPF4

I noticed that I am using an old TWRP 3.0.2 ... O_o maybe this was the reason.

However, after the setup wizard hiccup, now everything seems to run fine. even if i had to sync my apps manually
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Skiny:
Glad to see this rom in Stable version - can you confirm there are no known bugs, video recording for example? I see nothing in first page.

I'm on Optimized LineageOS 13.0 (and it's all right), should i simply follow "full wipe installation" instructions on first page to switch to 14.1 stable4?

Good morning everybody,

now I'm for 4 days on stable 4 (coming from Optimized LineageOS 13.0 20170211) and pretty satisfied with it.

I had an issue with using Threema to not notificate on new messages. I solved it with excluding this app from the batterie optimiziation and now it works fine.

Another issue was that I could not connect via USB to a Windows7-PC for backup. A workaround is to use the wifi-connection for MyPhoneExplorer to do backups - that works fine.

Some minor issues are still left:

+ Bluetooth connection with Garmin vivofit is very unreliable: sometimes works and mostly not.

+ The notification-LED for new messages in WhatsApp doesn't work properly.

+ I'm using Llama for scheduled or location-based profile switching, but the icon of Llama in the statusbar doesn't switch to indicate which profile is active (normal - loud - quiet ...).

I also find it hard to understand how to use this version of lineage, because there is no manual available. You must use try and error to find things out. Also the terminology is new for me. Thanks to have this forum here - it helps very much.

Thanks you for this ROM you all did a great job! :good:

Regards, Jens

When you connect to PC, you have to unlock your device, swipe down and then change 'charging through USB' to 'MTP' (transfer files).

You can't change that permanently, you have to do that each time.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] copota:
I ran into that problem when installing. The work around is to continue skip the restore page, and add your wifi, and google account, then after your wifi and google account are added, keep hitting the back button till you get back to the install backup from cloud section. Then you can restore from the cloud.

I'm having a problem trying to flash Stable 4 Aroma. I've installed all other builds without issue.

I'm on a Galaxy S4 Sprint variant.

I do a complete wipe, then start to flash with the Aroma build. I choose the remove package option, and remove camera, and file manger, then hit next. It then instantly completes the flash. Obviously something is happening where it's not flashing, but giving me a success notification.

Then I try to flash Open Gapps ARM 7.1 pico, and get an error stating incorrect version, and that I need to install gapps for ROM 5.0.2...error code 20.

If I try to start my phone, it just hangs at the Samsung screen.

I just flashed Stable 3, and that flashed fine, so I must be an issue with Stable 4 and my phone.

Any ideas of the issue?

Also, was the Magisk options for root removed in Stable 4, as that did not appear in my aroma menu?

Not sure if it helps but I noticed you select the remove package option, instead I choose the Install Rom option, then it asks you about normal options (including magisk), unless I am wrong you first need to install rom then you will be able to remove packages.

I have problem passing safetynet, I tried with alucards kernel and stock, always magisk. Once alone and once with phh 266-2... Always clean install. Remembered to disable usb debbuging everytime. Once tried fiddling with SElinux status but it caused my phone to get stuck at Samsung logo(first stage of booting). So after first time changing it im not touching it.

Can anyone suggest anything?

Btw i have i9505, rooted before KNOX update came along, so no flag for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] stylemessiah:
This is not the magisk thread, if youve enabled the general rom options needed for any magisk install to work and then have issues, you really need to head over to the magisk thread for support

Also, see this (which wasn't found here either): https://www.xda-developers.com/magisk-developer-assures-next-magisk-beta-will-pass-safetynet-again/

To me magisk is more trouble than it's worth, in testing it failed for me randomly, lost root randomly, and it generates more crap posts on non-magisk threads on XDA second only to people who don't clean inatall...

Far too many people install it "just because it's an option" or they want to fiddle, and have no legitimate reason to install or use it. Or they're game players (who should grow up quite frankly and put their big boy pants on). Those people should immediately stop clogging up threads like this with posts about bloody magisk...
