Sorry if this is the worng place for this question but i could not find a forum anywhere.

Thanks for all the hard work bringing a rom to the old S4 Active!! :D

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] austinu90:
it seems not to be working maybe because i have an i537 if theres some way i could rebuild it..or if someone could point me towards a working rom id appreciate it my phone is a KOT49h.i537ucucnh3

oops having to reflash... twrp messed up my phone... is there away to install this through odin?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
I537 have locked bootloader and no way to unlock it, so can not install custom recovery, like twrp.

And without a custom recovery can not install custom rom.

Chainfire's Flashfire is an alternative to flash (some) zip when custom recovery is not available, but it is risky. I've never seen it used for whole rom on any mobile. If you decide try this way be sure to completely read its support thread. You should take special attention to very critical partitions not be lost.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] kostarum:
I installed, just now, newest build from 08.08 and I must simply say this: FANTASTIC work, WLAN and all other works very good, as expected.

Mobile phone is much more responsive now, as with Kitkat 4.4.2, wow !!!!

Big thanks, guys !!!

Forgive me asking but what happens with Samsung Apps when you do this ? I need the Gear Watch app for development so I'm assuming I'll lose that ability if I flash my S4 Active ?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Sahneschnauze:
installed LOS finally after running your CM for a while, very fast boot.

Two little problems i ran into: Bluetooth Freigabe? english? giving me an error while booting, sometimes doesnt connect.

And my recent call list is deleted a few times a day, cant tell when it happens, seems like when it connects to BT.

Dear Tsvetlov,

first of all thanks a lot for building the great ROM. Before Android 8 I would prefer the have an actual september build with the blueborne patch included.

The blueborn security problem is for me most important - more than to have Android 8.

It would be very nice, if you could build a september rom !

Thanks a lot.

Actually HE is helping us. Me and Bruno really love this project and this device, though it's just thanks to Vlad if things gets (and got) fixed. HE'S the skilled one, and the REAL S4A savior. Here I'm the worst one, and actually I feel a bit bad for being OP, considering I'm not that active here cause of ongoing PPL certification + school. And again, I want to thanks Bruno (yeah, aka [MENTION=2580755]zagi988[/MENTION]) for being such a great friend. If it wasn't for them, I'd never be here writing this comment. And thanks to all of you S4A owners fellas for being such a nice community to share a nice project with :highfive:

Thanks for keeping good N releases for our S4 Active guys!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] AndroidNoobMaster:
Good day devs! Pardon the noob question but does the LOS support f2fs for our device? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
I'm almost sure that yes, but system partition. As Xposed was not available to N, I only used it for tests, but as I can remember I did it over f2fs. I'm running CM13 daily (cause of Xposed, at least till now ?) over f2fs.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] mwwea:
I have the same problem with the recent call list. It is deleted as soon as I turn on Bluetooth and sometimes when connecting to my car. I switched to this release from stock in September. Before there were no problems with Bluetooth. I also use the latest firmware for my country.

I have not seen an error relating to Bluetooth while booting.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem with the empty recent call list?

What can I do to resolve it? I already tried wiping Cache and Dalvik, deleted all known Bluetooth devices on my phone and in the car. But no success yet.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] A953User:
I have the same issue with the recent call list in the September build. It's also deleted as soon as I turn Bluetooth on.

It would be great if there is way to fix this.

Keep up the great work, guys. Thanks a lot for keeping our S4A up-to-date :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] mwwea:
Maybe the next build with the October patches will resolve this problem.

I am really glad to have found this great ROM for my S4A. The battery lasts nearly the whole day, the phone is fast and very responsive and I got rid of all the bloatware in the original Samsung ROM. Please keep up the wonderful work.

What is best to choose for file system? Is exfat good enough, or I should choose ext4 for all partitions? F2fs?

Gesendet von meinem Redmi Note 4 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] guest4711:
External devices (like ext. sdcard) should be formatted with a system other devices and other OS could read... So exfat is not a bad choice... (but afaik patented, means a non-free implementation).

For internal devices ext4 is rock solid and efficient. So you should use it for /system. I format /data with f2fs: It's a bit faster when writing but has more overhead (needs more control blocks). But you will probably not see much speed improvement over ext4...
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] FoxX21:
But exFAT isnot support in TWRP - you can't make backup in our S4Active
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tsvetkov_vlad:
And kernel don't support exfat

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] hazrpg:
Love the rom, but I have a few issues

Hi all,

I must say, a great big thank you for making this happen. You've made my phone feel new again! :D

I do however have a couple of issues, and I was hoping you could help me resolve them:

Battery drain is massive. I get 5-7 hours if I'm lucky - with stock and the same set of apps and tweaks I would get a day.

Wifi sometimes doesn't work on boot - but rebooting again fixes that (so I can kinda live with that)

I was wondering, this is definitely configured up for the international GT-I9295 and not the AT&T or Sprint ones?

Any info I can provide to help diagnose just let me know and I'll be glad to help. I use Ubuntu as my main desktop and prolific with the terminal if I need to run anything. I have dabbled with compiling stuff too in the past, so I'm open to doing that too. My main job is web development, but I do understand C, C++, etc too (just not something I do daily so bit out of touch there) so this kind of thing isn't fully new - I just haven't had to do much in terms of ROMS in the past, they usually work great out of the box.

Extra info:

I have tried flashing the rom multiple times, and completely wiped it too. I also turned off things like Google voice (OK Google) to make sure it wasn't that draining the battery. By the looks of things its the kernel that's draining the system.

I'll try to provide a dmesg when I can.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] dziubson:
Thanks system works very smoothly than previous ROM from Samsung and ROM [MIUI 8] [24 ap] Patchrom (:().

I had a problem with turning on WIFI and finding available networks - the solution was to turn WIFI on and off and restart the device.

I can not start the portable hotspot WI-Fi service (Tethering). The slider is inactive after the attempt to switch it receives a "error"

P.S. I also acknowledge the high battery consumption
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] phel21:
Running 14.1-20171017 I have observed the following problems:

1. Call-logs being wiped when bluetooth is enabled.

2. UI occasionally not presenting any way to answer an incoming call. Not on the lock-screen and not after the UI is unlocked.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Cristi82:
I have the same issue. First time i was worried, after a second time i realized that it was just on BT activation, i dont use BT anymore. Hope that they will fix soon
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] mwwea:
I have mentioned already a while ago that the first issue is valid for me to.

I am wondering why there is no November Nougat build. Did I miss something or are there only Oreo builds from now on?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tsvetkov_vlad:
I can't build LOS 14.1 and 15.0, because not enough disk space for sources of both systems, so i can build only one from this and my priority is LOS 15.0.

About bug with disappearing call history... i have this bug too, but can't find any source of this problem
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] mwwea:
The bug is not a big deal as there are apps like SMS Backup & Restore which allow hourly or manual backup of the call history. After turning on Bluetooth I restore from this backup and am fine so far.

I did not know that you put priority on LOS 15.0. I am glad to hear you still care about building new ROMs. Thank you so much for your great work.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Jix0:
Battery life lower and camera pictures noisy?

Hello..

I am using this rom, without any significant problems. I am using stable build.. But I noticed that battery discharges a lot more than with my previous stock 5.0.1. When I am connected to my carrier and using my phone as usual (some wifi, sms, making few calls), I have nearly 30 percent battery left. I installed GSam Battery Monitor, which shows me that the phone is draining 460 mA, when screen is on.. I tried to set another cpu governors, lowered screen brightness, disabled background syncs and other potential battery hungry stuff.. Power drain didn´t change. Also checked for running processes and disabled the unnecessary.... No noticable change

Today I was testing some camera apps for approximately 30-40 minutes, one hour of wifi, and a few short calls and few sms, dropped battery from 95 percent to 30. (2,5 hours of intensive use). But I have 3 months old new battery so this is not supposed to happen.

I wanted to check CPU voltages and lower them a little bit to prolong my battery life, but kernel in this rom does not support it and I didn´t find any alternative kernels for S4 active CM14 roms. Would be nice if undervolting will be possible.

And maybe this is only my personal feeling, but images I take with camera, looks a little "noisy" than with stock 5.0.1 I was using before. I took photo at the same place for comparison, and looked a little like when you try to photograph with low light conditions.. Tried a lot of different apps.

Has anybody experienced anything of these with this rom? How long your battery lasts?

Thanks for reply and have a nice day..

Then the ROM you downloaded is corrupted. Redownload and flash it

Thanks for the info. It's weird some have the Wi-fi issue. Personally, I don't have it, but I should understand why of this problem
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] longpu:
Beware: I am still running spegelius' CM12.1 (but I will try your build soon)

I also occasionally experience Wi-Fi problems with my S4A, which manifest in the Wi-Fi screen being stuck on "Enabling Wi-Fi". However I have observed a pattern which makes me think that it is a heat-related issue. It typically occurs in one of the following situations:

- on a hot summer day when being outside in the sun with my phone in my (darkly coloured) trouser's pockets

- after booting directly after wiping dalvik cache, so apps have to be precompiled again (almost always reproducible since encrypting /data)

In all cases, Wi-Fi works again after shutting down and leaving the phone off for a couple of minutes.

So it would be interesting to know, whether people who are also dealing with Wi-Fi problems live in countries that are generally warmer than mine (central Europe)? Does Wi-Fi work when booting the phone after taking it out of the fridge?

I am not claiming that the problem can't be fixed in software in principle (e. g. one might speculate that a buggy driver/firmware gets hung up and causes the Wi-Fi chip to consume more power than it can handle without adequate cooling?). However I hope that my experience can help to track the root cause of this issue down!

Hi everyone !

I'm using the Jan 2 build for a week now and can barely believe how well it works! Thank you all for the hard work and time, you brought my S4 active back from the graveyard :)

Just a little thing that bothers me. When using the speaker, the other side of the conversation cant hear what i'm saying. Not that this issue in not present while turning off the speaker or using Bluetooth.

Anyone else having this problem? (Before the update to CM14.1, I was using CM13 and all worked fine so its not an hardware problem)

Thanks :)
