NOTES on i9508 install! i9508 is a qualcomm s4 made for China Mobile with their very strange 3G frequencies.

All ROMs installed well and smooth and all working except 3G. All following notes are an attempt to get 3G working on a custom ROM.

I have tried a few things. Flashing jfltexx modems fails in ODIN. I tried a few sources and all are the same. I did NOT flash the accompanying bootloader. Should I do them together? A bit worried about frying something.

Went ahead and tried to flash i9505 UHQC1 bootloader and modem combined. FAIL!

Flashed back to stock a few times. 3G working every time comfirmed by speedtest.apk.

Flashed SuperWizCyan (5.0.1 based TW rom). 3G and H+ worked! After a reboot back to E. After that no settings would work to get 3G back.

Back to stock. 3G working.

Have tried three versions of Stock and all are the same. 3G working very fast.

Every custom ROM has same APN settings as the working Stock Rom.

Will try Stable 1 again but close to giving up. I have to send the phone back if I can't get 3G.

Trying a 5.0.1 Antares CM 12 right now too. Failed in the same way.

Thanks for any and all help.

There is no such thing as "just theme" unless you want to manually modify apk files! You need to use a theme engine. Since the CM theme engine is not ported on Nougat, Side has added support for the Substratum theme engine which works fine. No need to argue on this and clutter the thread, just try it.

Just talking about touchwiz substratum theme.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sclman:
hey guys, I've got a problem with my device, not entirely sure if it's software related or if this is the end for this device, so I came to ask you to see if anyone can help me out or if I have to buy a new phone :(

I've been on the Opt 13.0 for a while, and it was already doing weird things so I thought it was about time for a new clean install.

Yesterday, without any changes in the device, suddenly the calls didn't work, I could pick up calls but I couldn't hear the other person, and he couldn't hear me either. If I tried to make a call, I didn't even hear the usual call beeps.

The connectivity works fine, the calls connect but there is no audio whatsoever in or out. The speaker and micro works, as I can send audio and hear it through Whatsapp for example.

So I decided to do a clean install instead of trying to fix it, I updated the modem and bootloader, and installed the Opt. 14.1 Stable 2. So everything is different from before, but the problem is still there.

Does anyone have any idea of how to, if possible, fix this? Anyone has experienced a similar issue? If I need to explain anything else please tell me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm gonna try to get a spare phone in the meantime as I need to be able to receive and make calls (obviously :laugh: )

Oh and as always, thanks [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] and everyone else who works in these projects, it's pretty amazing how much has this phone life been extended thanks to you.

Substratum core is inside the Rom. All u have to do is to install substratum apk from play Store. Then install any theme you want
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] echo_21:
You're welcome

Perfectly understood, you cannot do everything. Just please confirm a "known" issue whenever you can and like to; also your test team is invited to do so. In case there is such a confirmation we have much more confidence and feel better. No problem at all if you need to or want to be silent on those issues!

Imagine you buy a car in excellent condition for a very good price from your local dealer. Due to the great hurry the dealer forgot to tell you that the cigarette disposal could not be cleaned prior to your purchase. I guess you are a bit disappointed when your family notices at home a new car that is a bit dirty. You could not have been disappointed if your dealer had told you this known issue before.

Same could be true for users of your famous opt. LOS 14.1 stable 2 if they e.g. recognize after hard clean installation and hard restoration of apps and launcher that Bluetooth HFP does not work. Then after they report here and they get answers like "it's a known issue" for the first time...

added as work-around 3 of known issue #1

You need touchwiz framework, notice that you can't use stuff like air view or air gestures on AOSP? Bec samsung did MASSIVE changes to the whole ART and frameworks, it even needs a completely edited version of xposed if you want to run it.. Even apps like samsung music or Snotes won't work on AOSP.. Sad to say but i don't think touchwiz or Graceux will ever be included in AOSP If you want touchwiz stuff you need a touchwiz based rom Or look for a substradum theme on play store
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] akk29:
[MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] is too modest. He has managed to get the HFP connection working now. The only issue is that the phone audio isn't routing to the car speakers yet. But the connection works and calls can be initiated and answered using the car stereo. Hopefully the audio routing problem will be fixed soon.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jorgemiguel4:
Great :D

Did you know what the issue was?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] clown_abhi:
Just to add, on my car which is a Ford Fiesta, it works fine to initiate and answer calls and listen to music as well. The only problem is bluetooth disconnects and then does not connect until the phone is restarted.

i installed to my ntt docomo SC-04E same as i9505 but the camera and video is not working. i tried to put the libmmcamera2_sensor_modules.so to system/vendor/lib using ES file explorer, i tried also to delete camera.msm8960.so and rename camera.vendormsm8960.so to camera.msm8960.so but still no luck....

is there any solution to my problem to get my camera working?

I don't think MHL output has worked since early stock 4.4 roms, I believe support was removed in the 4.4.3 update, but I have been using a DisplayLink adapter with free driver from play store for dvi output with success on this rom (stable 1 and 2)

I found a used adapter for $15 on ebay, not sure if the output is 1:1 but I played some games ok on it, but I found Netflix won't work at all.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lucamtb:
Apk not from playstore:

I am trying to install orux apk downloaded from their website because they need to complain with some donation rules.

I switch on the possibility to install uncontrolled apk but when I start the apk the install bottom side of the screen does not work (like the "switch" is unlinked).

I can only press on "cancel/abort".

Is this because of some limitation of this ROM or do I miss something?

Thanks in advance

i9508 still not working on 3G. I have flashed and reflashed many times. Tried three stock roms. Tried lots of custom roms. I think it is a Kernel issue. I want to flash this rom and then try to reflash ust the stock kernel for i9508. Not sure if that is possible. That may make the 3G work but most likely loose other features.

May be good to note on the OP that i9508(no 3G). The only reason to buy the 9508 is that you have 3G on China Mobile.

At this point the i9508 is running Stock 5.0.1(updated to Feb. 2017) rooted and with TWRP.

Are you using a screen filter? Android is blocking manual apk installations if the filter (something that enables you to change colors or brightness, but not the system tools) is on.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] akk29:
Not all systems use HFP protocol as some use the headset protocol (HSP). In my old car I used to use a basic Bluetooth FM transmitter which worked fine with the Opt CM ROMs over the years. I have no problem with Bluetooth headsets etc.

Can you confirm whether you are using HFP - if so then this is useful to know.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] okidokiss:
how can I check that?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
If the problem still exists after you reboot, I recommend you flash your stock firmware via Odin and see if the problem remains. If it does, it may be time to get a new device.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sclman:
Thanks sjamie, I had planned to do that this weekend, but if with a different modem, bootloader, rom and recovery the problem is still there... it doesnt look promising :confused:

Anyway I will report back in case it gets fixed, or to say goodbye :crying:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] akk29:
If a simple flash of stock firmware doesn't work before you give up hope try a full firmware repair as described https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/general/ref-galaxy-s4-i9505-modems-bootloaders-t3315987/post71973342 - only do this if a simple flash doesn't work.

There are a few reports of people saying Bluetooth works with their car radio for calls. If anyone can confirm that they specifically have HFP working please reply with what modem you are using. This may have an impact on this issue. Thanks.

Wifi problem

Hello. Thank you for the new rom, it is great! It only has a problem with WIFi when it turns on airplane mode shows me all the networks but my missing, how to turn on the phone normally, shows up my wifi network and then it works ... where can the problem be?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sclman:
Well I tried everything I could think of, and then I flashed the full firmware repair that you mention but no luck. I guess some IC or other hardware piece specific for managing calls has broken, anyway that's it :(

It'e been a great device and it has lasted a lot longer than I could have hoped

Well guys I'll keep lurking around these parts but on a different device, thanks a lot not only to the developers but to everyone that offers their time to help others

PS: In the end I've only been in the 14.1 for a couple of days but it was really smooth, felt like it was as stable as the 13 and the autonomy was the same I would say, so my user experience was like a better updated version but without sacrificing anything of importance, the change is totally recommended.

I am new at this optimized_2 release coming from the official LOS release. After installation of LOS_optimized stable2 + GAPPs_micro the google setup assistant crashes all the time right before adding the google account. Is that a known issue? Is there an easy fix for that? Maybe it has been discussed already but 500 pages are too many to read.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lekiaM:
Just flash stable2 with todays Gapps. If you can't bypass the tap&go, than flash first ROM and afterwards Gapps. Should do the job

Just to be clear. He meant flash ROM, boot; reboot to recovery, flash gapps.

During web browsing or playing youtube my i9505 is becoming very hot up to 61 degree C (internal sensors).

I red that it could be somehow related to issues with the bootloader. Is that correct or does anybody know other possible reasons.

[MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] is maintaining lineage for s4, so you could say... It is the same thing, but noooooo. This rom runs faster, snappier and has a he'll of a lot more improvements over standard lineage. This is his pet project, so it will always be more advanced than standard lineage. I would recommend you trying it, so you can discover for yourself, which is a lot more fun.

Cheers

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Aqua1ung:
That is precisely what I am aiming at. You cannot flash TWRP with Odin on an jflteatt due to locked bootloader. My only hope is to somehow flash TWRP from within the OS. Hence I need root. How do I acquire root on LinOS please?!! Doesn't Flashify require root too?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kvngMickey:
This ROM has root access already... Nice job [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION]

---------- Post added at 04:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 AM ----------

You have to unlock your bootloader.

Like [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] said, AT&T USERS: since your bootloader is locked, you must be on the UCUAMDB or UCUAMDL bootloader so check the bootloader you want to flash to your phone if its any of these:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Correct! On a i337, if your bootloader is not MDB or MDL, you are not able to use this ROM successfully.

servus

du wenn das bei dir bei jeder rom so ist dann solltest du entweder zu cm13 oder cm12 zurück oder dir ein neues handy kaufen den an unsere bulid lieg es bestimmt nicht ... ich hab auch zwei handy`s und auf dem zweiten ist die rom von side drauf also genau die wo du hier nach dein problemen nach fragst ... und ich habe weder das problem bei side oder von benlue .....

also wird es bestimmt an dein handy liegen und nicht an LineageOS 14.1 außer du findes hier im Forum ein Zitat wo jemand das selbe problem hat ...

wir hatten dir doch schon einige tipp gegeben und haben es auch selber getestet für dich und wir konnten keine probleme feststellen das unser handy heiz wird also über 60 grad .....

probiere mal die hier [ROM] Resurrection Remix 5.8.3 Rel 25 [7.1.2_r8] [i9505] [Official OMS] [Magisk12]

Hello

If it is with you with each rom so is then you should either back to cm13 or cm12 or you a new cell phone to our bulid lieg it certainly not ... I have also two handy`s and on the second is the rom From side drauf so exactly where you ask for your problems after ... and I have neither the problem with side or of benlue .....

So it will be determined to your mobile phone and not to LineageOS 14.1 except you find here in the forum a quote where someone has the same problem ...

We had already given you some tip and have it tested also for you and we could not find any problems that our handy heiz is over 60 degrees .....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sgeorgi:
CM13 is even worse. Only Samsung stock ROM stays cool. I red some comments from other people and one comment was related to the bootloader. I have this problem on 3 phones (2x i9505 and 1x i9515). I can not believe all 3 phones have the same HW issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Exodusnick:
dann hast du irgendwas vieleicht falsch gemacht versuch doch einfach wieder zurück auf stock rom und dann neu auf LineageOS 14.1 das ist das einzige was mir gerade einfällt .....

Then you did something wrong maybe just go back to stock rom and then new to LineageOS 14.1 that is the only thing I just think

Can you tell me exactly which setting did you use on STweaks? I used to have an extended battery on stock and had more than 2 days of charge, even 3 days with moderate use. Nowadays I'm barely getting 2 days. I've changed all settings to "conservative" instead of "alucard" on CPU-TUNING tab, but the phone started to hang.

Also, I'm on an latin-american I337M variant, with UMUGPI2 modem/bb (it's a completely different phone from I337, no bootloader locked).

I've looked for those threads of alucard settings, but all templates are gone on their hosting.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] marcoen:
I have the same problem. It's is extremely frustrating. For me it only seems to happen when I have my headset plugged in while I answer a call. Is that the same for you?

EDIT

When I hangup the call, I do hear the "beep" that marks the end of the call, just the audio from the phone call seems to be muted for some reason.

Is there any kind of command line mixer that I can try to see if something is muted? Any other ways to debug these kinds of audio issues?

EDIT

I just did some experiments by calling my voicemail:

If I call with my headset connected I hear nothing.

If I press the speaker phone button I hear nothing

When I disconnect the headset and listen to the phone I hear nothing

now, when I press speaker phone I hear the call!

when I take the phone off speaker phone I still hear the audio

when I connect the headset I do hear the call through my headset!

btw, when I go directly from speaker phone to headset the headset it muted.

After I go through the cycle above (headset, unplug, speaker phone, off speaker phone, headset) I am able to make normal phone calls using either my headset or just using the handset. Not sure how long it will last.

This is interesting as it points to issues with phone audio routing. A similar issue seems to be happening with HFP phone audio. If not fixed I will try what you describe with Bluetooth HFP with the next release and see what happens.

I recommend this ROM above all others, unless you have official RR or CM available. If you're like me and have the Sprint S4, you stick with this ROM.
