I do not see any official builds from the LineageOS team, on their official web page https://download.lineageos.org for the ks01ltexx. Even this thread we are in, is specifically an UNOFFICIAL build, based off of the device specific trees built & maintained by [MENTION=4861355]kyasu[/MENTION]. That goes the same for both 14.1 and 15.1. As such, there is no automated build as is the case for LOS official devices.

When [MENTION=4861355]kyasu[/MENTION] releases a new build, he syncs with the LineageOS sources (ie non device specific source code) which brings in any updates to the security patches etc.

Simply building 14.1 wont change the resultant ROM.

For example, you can monitor security patch updates yourself at:

https://github.com/LineageOS/android_build/blob/cm-14.1/core/version_defaults.mk

Looking for the line starting with: "PLATFORM_SECURITY_PATCH := "

I also sometimes pick another random device (that is building 14.1) and look at the recent changes, ignoring anything that is device/vendor specific, to get a rough idea of what I am missing out on.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] foxrft:
Thanks for those informations, I thought you were only asking if kyasu's los 14.1 is still continued or not. As for official builds, as far I know their support ended with los13 for this device and nothing was announced about 14.1 or 15.1 yet.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] jeepcook:
That was my question in fact...if kyasu still continue 14.1 builds...

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] foxrft:
Then the answer is yes, builds are released monthly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
For clarification, I wasn't asking the question.;) Since I build ROMs from his source (my current daily is a 14.1 RR), I monitor his source code for changes. See the OP for the Github sources.

As the build is unofficial, and i am pretty sure it is not on an automated build machine, [MENTION=4861355]kyasu[/MENTION] will probably not be in anyway strictly building once a month (but I also do not speak for him), and I estimate, especially if there are no material changes to the source to be included. We should be thankful for what we have received thus far :good:

I haven't read the OP for a while, but from memory, there was no indication for any schedule of future builds, or even when he will stop supporting the device. I think you should consider every build of 14.1 as the final build, and be very grateful for any new builds as a bonus.:victory: and I guess the same goes for 15.1. And to re-iterate, I do not speak for him.;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kyasu:
For now, i do not plan to build LOS 14.1 any more.

LOS 15.1 becomes daily driver and i want to spend my free time other than build and test.

Thanks.

Poor sound from the microphone

Good evening, I do not know about you but I have a mediocre quality with the sound of my microphone. If I leave an audio message on whatsapp the sound is very low even if I make a call. By cons when I was on the 7.0 version I had no problem the same with my official version lolipop 5.0.1

Problem light (flashled tile)

Bonjour,

I've noticed that this particular tile do not work every time ; sometime it's working, sometime it's not possible to get the flashled illuminated.... well, I have to say that, most of time, the tile produce no light.

is it possible to fix this problem ?

cordialement,
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] foxrft:
That's a common problem, just remove/readd the flashlight and restart device, mine is working it's just that there's a delayed animation when I toggle it off.

wi-fi turning off

Wi-fi 5Ghz (802.11ac) keeps disconnecting when the device is locked. It's a pretty annoying bug.

2.4Ghz works fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
Isn't that related to the WiFi sleep policy which has been discussed before? ie do a search on the thread.

Also, from my understanding, its an optimisation to reduce battery consumption.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Polarity_123:
I don't want this kind of optimization. When the device is locked, I have no internet or my phone tries to use cellular data.

I also tried to set up a policy to always keep wi-fi connection and it didn't help.

And if this is an optimization, why I can't turn it off in a 5Ghz network?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
Read the thread, its a shell command, not what I think you are thinking as a "policy". As for "why I can't turn it off in a 5Ghz network?" that question would most likely be best understood by reading the actual source code.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Polarity_123:
That's the first thing I've done. People are only complaining about this issue. And ok, I have found one sh*tty workaround through automate.

What adb command about are you talking? I thought this adb command is related to 15.1, because Google deleted this setting in the interface. I tried settings get command for wifi_sleep_policy and it returned 2 (always) as expected.

And yeah, theoretically I can find a bug in the source code, but it'll take months, because I'm new to development for Android, and I will waist a lot of time trying to understand what is going on in this code.

Problems found

Hey there,

i have found several problems, those are about the basic OS:

The distance sensor for blanking the screen while calling - does not work sometimes, i havent found an good logcat yet.

Since some time now the phone does not connect via mobile data, eveltually it does not even register at the providers network. I am searching for a fix right now, i would appreciate any help you can provide. Also it would be nice if you can commit the change to your version in the future.

There are several other bugs with third party apps, which are not important for your release tho. Those are actually not of your business :P

Help would be really appreciated since it will be the first time working with android sources.

Some questions

Hi,

someone can help me?

What do you think this custom rom better than stock lollipop ?

There is any bug ? (camera work ? , audio quality bad ? , microphone work well ? , wifi and sim work too ? )

To install this room , first i have to root my phone or i can install this rom without root ?

Thanks for help
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] :
I think Lineageos 15.1 is the best custom rom at the moment. In order to install a custom rom you don't need to root, but you have to flash twrp with Odin.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Radder124:

My Build

As I have massive BT problems with LOS 15.1, I set up a build environment and made a new build based on kyasu´s sources but synced with current generic Linage sources (security updates June 2018).

Feel free to test.

At the moment the kernel and device specific sources are on last kyasu´s 14.1 tree. So kernel security issues are not fixed.

phone calls are very quiet. i can hear the other person only very quietly. Is there a solution for this?

another question: can i install magisk to hide root from pokemon go in this rom?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] supachris:
Maybe you can adjust some values in the system/etc/mixer_paths.xml file. But I'm not sure which of them...
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Secundus:

i don't have rooted my device.

Have you the same rom installed? can you hear the other person on a telephone call?

if i turn on the speaker within a call, then it is loud.

Must i install this I9506XXSDPL2_I9506XXUDOJ2_bootmodem.tar ??
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] supachris:
Yes I have my last build installed, but I can hear the far end well. Could be louder but I think the S4 is not very loud by design. It's OK.

Gello browser error: The phone always soft reboots while running Octane 2.0. I have no idea why. The other browsers(e.g. Chrome or Opera) don't have any problems with that.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] gebaya:
Every Android version higher Lollipop has the android.hardware.camera2 API, so this ROM does too, but it's not necessary for recording in higher resolutions. As you've seen in this old thread, people have been doing this before this new API was introduced. AFAIK, Camera2 API is only necessary for features like manual focus, WB, ISO, shutter speed settings, etc., which I9506 does not support.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DonAndress:
I have had manual focus on stock android 5.0 since I bought it. It's just the Cinema FV5 which was needed :)

Now I'm on almost stock 5.0.1 but I can't get more then 30 fps, meaning I don't have the Camera2 API...

Seems like it's high time to try CM again (after quite good CM12.1) ;)

Snapchat

Snapchat keeps logging me out (I'm using a restored version of Snapchat) and keeps on saying I'm using a 3rd party app and gave me a 24 hour ban. How do I fix this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] sheek88:
Snapchat initially did not work, however fixed it somehow. Think it was to do with system settings.

Also, MMS seems not to work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] brian_lee19:
So how did u get Snapchat to work
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] sheek88:
It was one of three things:

1. Trying to log in about 100 times (also reset password which didn't seem to do anything)

2. Re-sync my date and time with network time (timezone was set wrong when first installed the ROM)

3. Delete the superuser account (don't think it was this, as I tried this first)

Fairly confident that in my case it was to do with making sure the date and time were correct and synchronized with network, but don't know if that is other peoples issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DonAndress:
Hmm others reported it working...

Are you sure you have correct APN settings?

TapaTalked from i9506
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] sheek88:
APN is set correctly (OPTUS). I can get it to work, but not at the same time as internet. Whichever APN is set to default works, and the other doesn't. Exact same behavior as CM13 for me, unless i'm doing something wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DonAndress:
It means that when you use the Internet there's no way to send / receive mms?

TapaTalked from i9506
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] sheek88:
Correct. I have 2 APNs, one for internet, and one for MMS. Whichever setting is set to default works, while the other does not. I had the exact same situation with CM13.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] audianer:
Hey,

how works that ROM? Stable? Any Bugs?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DonAndress:
Yeah, it was the same problem with CM12.1 and nobody fixed it.

[MENTION=7485732]gebaya[/MENTION]

It has not been fixed for at least a 1,5 years, since I'm interested in CM...

Good! Very minor bugs (no sound on connect charger, no circle battery icon, stuff like that).

All major functions work.

I am so very grateful to the Dev community for enabling Android 7 on a device which initially shipped with 4.4 and stopped receiving Samsung software support at Android 5.0!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] WeirdSoup:
[MENTION=7485732]gebaya[/MENTION] did you removed your mediafire folder?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] gebaya:
No, I have no idea where or how to do that. I'm not in contact with the developers. All I do is build the ROM. Maybe you should ask kyasu, but honestly, I'm not surprised by the lack of interest in this bug. MMS is a legacy standard, most people have long stopped using it in favor of various messaging apps. If you gave me a link to some patch with a fix I could try to apply it. Other than that, I can't help.

No. I see the "The owner of this folder has not added any files." message too, it must be because of some MediaFire problem. Links to files still work, only the folder link doesn't.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] audianer:

Now internal memory is invisible for applications, but everythng that I tried worked.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] mase76:
No, there are no O or P ROMs. I mean, this patch is required since N or O to get UnifiedNLP to register. The workaround with systemapp does not survive a ROM update, which will not come.

I have a device with Omnirom 8, where this patch also was required, and implemented in the end. Users with Gapps don't need it, but on freed devices microg is recommended to get location services to work.

The device is owned by a non technical person, not by me. As there is no more official AOSP ROM with automatic updates available, this device will be for trash soon.

I just wanted to let you know, that this patch is required for microg.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
Just because there are no O or P ROMs that meet YOUR SPECIFIC requirements, does not mean that all the other users cant use these ROMs.

Yes there are O & P ROMs, just maybe not meeting all YOUR requirements. Every ROM I have ever used has had some missing feature (or even a bug) that I may of had in another ROM. That's the real world.

Question - if I dirty flash the rom again, will I loose contacts, calendar and apps data?

Can I dirty flash it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Borstelchen:
Hello Radder124,

it depends on where you come from.

But there is a simple answer:

No! In most cases: no!

It's possible to "dirty flash" in two scenarios only:

upgrade from a previously installed LineageOS 13.0 build (nightly official or unofficial)

update from a previously installed LineageOS 14.1 unofficial build

In both scenarios it's recommended to flash the current Google Apps (GApps) immediately before rebooting into the system.

In any case:

Make a complete backup before your attempts, e.g. using the TWRP recovery system!
