Magisk is selectable in the AROMA installer. For almost 2-3 builds.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Carlo Borbor:
Is it possible to make a sdcard as a default storage in this rom. I wanted to set all data/obb on sdcard, like in the Android 5.0.1 using xInternal and obb on sd via xposed? Thank you. All my obb's / data store on my sdcard hope this rom can do to set.

Can I do a dirty install from the 7may one?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Crosshash:
Hey, thanks for the reply.

I installed the normal version from the link in the OP. I didn't see the Crepper36 build or anything like that. Where can I obtain it? Will it have to be installed from a full wipe again?

Thank you
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
There is no such thing as "magisk preinstalled".

Magisk is a post- install flashablle.

Launching it from aroma is just the same as installing it on any other ROM that has it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] stylemessiah:
It wold be easier/quicker to edit build.prop to remove the line

ro.sys.sdcardfs=true

Thats the only change from the last ROM upload

Theres no "Creeper36" build, he just edited the previous build with the change in my above comment and re-uploaded it

If youve downloaded the build from the link in the original post anytime from late yesterday, you have the latest build....

So you can be sure you have the latest, open build.prop in a text editor and look for:

ro.sys.sdcardfs=true

If you dont see it, you have the latest version.....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] trasabdcf:
Just installed stable 3, the latest non-aroma build, and I can't seem to get supersu to install binaries. I know someone else asked for something like this before, but i don't know if it was for the non-aroma version.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rhoban:
Flash the latest SuperSU zip.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] trasabdcf:
Thx, will do. Just one more. Since I'm on non-aroma, can I use stweaks for anything or is it useless without alucard kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Podroznik:
In Google Translator when i was downloading files for offline translate i got error like "cannot download voice" or something like this. I seen it before on the IGo app too.

sdcardfs its cause of it? i didnt remove it from build.prop yet.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lekiaM:
Stweaks was made for Alucard. So Stweaks won't work without Alucard installed.

Hello, after trying to take photos in panorama mode, the smartphone is locked. Trying to restart it from the power key once the restart attempt started, and it was locked again. I managed to restart it only in an emergency by holding down the power key for about 10 seconds. Currently going to restart mode, from the power button, there is no longer a possibility to restart in "Reboot - Recovery - Download" :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lekiaM:
Did you enable in developer settings, again the advanced "restart menu"? (tick off, tick on)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] SMARTPHONE65:
Thanks [MENTION=7976298]lekiaM[/MENTION], I solved you instantly with your advice. I did not realize that the developer mode was gone! For "panorama" photos did you find this phone block too?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lekiaM:
No never happened here. My first thought was: "huh, strange" but i will imitate/mimic it.

Edit: i mimic it. Feeling dizzy of all the Panorama shots haha. Anyhow, i was facing no problems or whatsoever. So unfortunately, it must be you[emoji53]
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] SMARTPHONE65:
Ok, as soon as I have some time I will do other tests. Good day thank you for having responded to me :svetius:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] stylemessiah:
Thats a known side effect of the sdcardfs issue....its been covered in previous pages, along with the advice to remove the line from build.prop.....

Remove the line and all will be well

Not really, there are still users like me that not need Magisk. I simply need working root and SuperSU always works. And that's why you can choose what you want in Aroma installer. Cheers

You mean you booted into the OS (and NOT recovery!), and you could use adb without accepting it on the mobile? That's definitely not ok. I've never seen such behavior, it would be very concerning...

No, I did not have to confirm anything - I never use ADB so I'm pretty positive about that (only use SSH); but that's easy to confirm, I guess.

So if sdcardsf is set to true and it doesn't cause an issue with my particular setup, are you saying it should be better, performance wise, to leave it in?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lekiaM:
Are you on Alucard or Stock kernel? If you are on Alucard, just enable fast charge in Stweaks settings (AC/USB charging control>set custom and enable for AC 1900mA and for USB 1000mA). Also do you use an 2.1mA charger? Short cable?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] EggBeast:
I've been having an issue with Google Duo where I wouldn't have any outgoing audio, whether making a video call or audio-only call. I was able to find a fix for it on another XDA thread. I thought I'd post that solution here in case anyone else is still having call issues in certain VOIP apps.

Modify your build.prop file under /system/build.prop, and look for this line:

I changed that value to "false", and it seems to work fine. I haven't tested all of my other apps to see if this breaks anything else, but I haven't noticed any issues yet.

Sometimes the WiFi is disconnected, but good job, tnks JDCTeam
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rhoban:
Your cable or charger head probably need to be replaced. Due to usage their capacity to charge at full capacity has been reduced.

I have had a similar problem and getting a brand new cable and charger fixed it.

But you don't have to take my word for it. You can try a friend's cable-charger combo to see if it makes a difference. Make sure it's a 2.0A charger though.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Patrick x:
Alright I will try to charge it with another/new charger and thank you.:victory:

Noticed unusual battery drain in standby. Battery statistics says screen was on all the time but it wasn't.

This happened after clean install of stable3 on i9505 with latest bootloader, modem.....

Overall battery consumption is higher in standby as on resurrection with comparable set of apps and settings.

- stable3 about 9% in 24h (exclude screen on issue)

- resurrection about 4% in 24h
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xmicroman:
Could someone point me towards a resource for making sure I have the latest boot loader and modem?

I did get Netflix to install suddenly and I don't know what happened where it finally let me do it.

I have in the past (on Stable 1) installed the APK for Super Mario Run and it did work eventually after using Majisk, but now it asks me to update through the Play Store and then it doesn't work, so I will attempt to try again provided I can find an updated APK
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xmicroman:
Thanks I guess what prompted my question was the stock firmware? Is that something different?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] therawski:
I think someone else can explain better than I can but stock firmware is the operating system that your phone comes with from the manufacturer and their updates, a modem is the baseband which are the drivers for the data connection, and the bootloader is something that loads the firmware. I'm still trying to learn everything myself but I'm sure someone else here has better definitions.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Yooshaw:
I think I found the apk on apk mirrors or something like that. Good luck!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] GOOGLE_USER:
I, too, am unclear regarding the OP's recommended BB & BL.

Are these region or continent specific?

Stateside, my best research -which ain't saying much- indicates that PL1 is the latest release. There is a thread specifically for our S4's BB & BL OP'd by Bon Bon:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/general/ref-galaxy-s4-i9505-modems-bootloaders-t3315987

The current listing reflects QC1 as the one to have. However, here in the U.S. I've not run across the containing firmware as PL1 seems to be the end of the road. Furthermore, that thread contains numerous offerings of BB & BL from past firmwares and none of these do I recognize. Since PL1 seemed to be functional for me I decided to wait it out until clarity revealed itself. It would seem that you also seek the same but perhaps that thread would also be a good place to inquire.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xmicroman:
I saw this in my search also. Is 9505 = our SPH-L720?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] GOOGLE_USER:
And therein may lie the discrepancy. I have seen some designated "international" versions but never paid much attention for lack of relevance. Your question is pointed and necessary to establish an answer to our BB & BL confusion.

I believe every SPH-L720 is a 9505, though the converse does not hold true. Therefore, _Bon_Bon's thread, while listing for 9505's, may not be applicable to 9505 variants -at least not all of them.

Many friends here are from other countries where the "international" variant is more prevalent. Perhaps some may be able to enlighten us.

A word of caution, -though you don't come across as someone with a light trigger since you are here asking for reliable info- please don't flash an improper phone models firmware. Let's get some definitive response from a more knowledgeable friend here if we can. I'm not comfortable telling you to do anything... except exercise caution. :eek:

I believe our end result will be that, yes, PL1 is the most up to date offering available and applicable to our use here in the U.S.

But let's see what shakes loose, shall we?

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

What do the letter-codes mean?

Example: XXUHPA1 for the I9505

XXU: is the region, in this case international.

H: is the android version, in this case ‘5.0.1’

P: is the year in alphabetical order, P is the 16th letter, thus 2016

A: is the month, again in alphabetical order, thus it’s January.

1: is the revision. In this case 1st

**Lifted from the thread, and emphasis on the XXU line is mine. Those do appear to be specific to the international version. I believe that negates any usefulness to us.

Some chatter on this on the Magisk support thread about Netflix/Mario Run not showing in the Play Store. Interestingly, Netflix and Mario Run now show up for me in the Play Store (also reported by others in the Magisk support thread).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jrhotrod:
You won't find much support on this thread for people who dirty flashed. The OP clearly says to do a clean install; if you don't follow those directions you are subject to your own actions.

Technicalities aside, I've noticed a lot of heat with this device as well. I don't actually use it as a phone (just over WiFi) but it really heats up doing some things. I would suggest making a TWRP backup of the data partition, clean install stable3, and restore data. Let me know how that goes.

I'm trying to download from sammobile and it says around 1gb, is it just the modem?

In sammobile you can't doownload modem or bootloader only. That site is for downloading the whole firmware of samsung devices.

If you have issues with signal or wifi or if your device take a longtime to boot you can try updating your modem and bootloader here :

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lekiaM:
I think you are good to go with your latest Lollipop Modem/Baseband version. If you are considering using another, just download the latest (QC1) in this thread;

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/general/ref-galaxy-s4-i9505-modems-bootloaders-t3315987

user: _Bon_Bon made it easier for us to extract only the modem and bootloader versions from Sammobile. Reason the file is so huge, is because it's an all-in-one.

Also follow this simple instruction video how to upgrade your modem and bootloader by SharkJungle. He does it the right way (turning device first off! instead of going to downloadmode by powermenu!) Otherwise it won't work.

In my personal experience (i9505, QC1 modem and bootloader), after clean install (stable 3) I've noticed higher battery drain and heating (with normal usage, like web browsing) in alucard kernel than stock kernel. Also, using alucard kernel, I sometime experienced high cpu usage by qmuxd process (with obvious overheating).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jrhotrod:
Hence why I usually stick with the stock kernel. That would probably be the best solution
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Andrew_Z:
Exactly! That was my mistake when I tried to flash a couple of days ago. At the end I succesfully flashed "GSM and NON-HLOS" and "BOOTLOADER".

Guys.. I see you keep reporting bugs.

As I said on op it's alpha version.

It is not considered to be a daily driver. It's just a review for all those who would like to take a nougat taste.

Next version will be beta that means we need logs there etc... Also I think that next release will be able to be used as daily driver
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xell75:

I've been using the rom for over three weeks, except camera , it's been almost perfect.
