Sorry for taking some time to respond, but a friend came from abroad and we needed some catching up time :) . Here is my modified sources for nougat, with ril and bt fixed, so that anyone can build an up to date rom for the active. Have fun. These are to be used in conjuction with official CM/LineageOS sources and derived roms, not with the optimized branch.

I'm on 20170424 and I still can't make or receive phone calls without the caller on the other end being bombarded with digital noise. My baseband is I9295XXUDOB4 if that helps to narrow down the problem. Would you like me to demonstrate the issue? I can stick a video of the problem on YouTube or I can give someone a phone call if they'd like (though I highly discourage it, the noise is atrocious!). The problem only occurs when I make a phone call with the phone by itself, it's fine if I use a bluetooth headset and I'm pretty sure the issue doesn't occur when the phone has just booted (though I may be wrong on this, it works intermittently). I connect my phone via bluetooth to my car and to a set of headphones I own and my thinking is the issue only starts once I've connected the phone to one of the at some point.

If noone else is having this issue or can reproduce the issue then can someone point me to where I can get the source code to try and debug it myself? I have no idea where to start with something like this but I'm getting pretty desperate to resolve this issue so I'm willing to give it a try.

Just a quick question as I've been out of the loop for awhile, but what's holding this back from receiving official Lineage OS support and official builds/downloads? From what I've gleaned it seems like it's fairly stable.

What is your plan for further development of this FANTASTIC ROM ??? Do you have any idea, or ?

And, can you please always make two builds, one SIDE and one normal. While I want to try side build.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] floydburgermcdahm:
Hang in there...switched to Vlad's build and it's as stable and smooth as yours. Great work. Never thought I'd keep my jactivelte that long...man, last updates from Samsung were some time in 2015!! :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] dotnano:
Hey guys. I really need your help.

But first, thank you all for your great work! Thank you so much!

I flashed LineageOS 14.1 on my I9295 and the battery isn't working as it should...

The Battery goes down within two hours of normal use. I just installed some apps and set the phone up, so no gaming or anything, just "normal" use.

If it's not in use, it "recharges" itself, showing higher level of battery than before...

The strangest thing is, if I click on the battery icon, it shows that I have only 2 hours to go, even if the battery is at 90 %.

I read about an error while flashing LineageOS, so I flashed back the latest stock firmware and everything works fine. If I flash any custom ROM (RR, CM12.1, CM13) then the problem is back.

So what did I wrong? Battery is new, just recently purchased. Also I tried different batteries, all the same. All of them work fine with stock firmware, but all have problems with custom ROM.

Any help?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] LayerEight:
Whats your recovery?

First of all deleted "dalvik/ART cache" and "cache" partition with your custom recovery.

If this ist not working try:

- make sure you have completely flashed the latest stock rom version for your country

- flash this rom with odin with additional parameter Nand Erase

- install TWRP 3.1.0

- boot TWRP and wipe all data stores (except external sd card)

- install latest LOS version (from vlad) with TWRP.

Everything should be fine now.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] dotnano:
I use TWRP 3.1.0-0. It's the latest I have found.

I did everything exactly as you have written above. Only thing I didn't try was NAND erase. Is there any chance to hard brick the phone?

I'll give it a try :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
Install FROM XDA the APP BetterBatteryStats, this way probably you'll find the root cause for your drain.

Is your battery original? If so it is old.... Expect it to last much less than years ago. If it is not original, chances are great that it is a fake announced capacity.

Any way, install apps L Speed + Kernel Adiutor (better fine tune clock and governor) + Greenify + apps that have features similar to xposed modules Amplify + Smart Network. Fine tuning those you'll get the best from your battery.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Alex_Gamer:
Can anyone tell me how to use substratum on this ROM? I tried but result on bootloop :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] quubee:
Use themes with legasy (PRO) support, do not apply system ui layers. There is no OMS code in the Lineageos.

Really guys ?? [MENTION=7738157]tsvetkov_vlad[/MENTION] [MENTION=6243385]IvanCristina[/MENTION]

Thank you for building the nougat ROM for S4active, when no one else did it.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] behelit:
great stable ROM but ytf is there no sync tile for quick settings

plus you removed/hid the settings for on screen buttons / navigation options? why?

also most bluetooth operations cause the device to freeze and eventually reboot, will try to capture some logs..
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] dotnano:
Well, I tried as you said. I flashed the latest stock ROM with NAND erase. Build is now LRX22C.I9295XXSDPL3.

Now even the stock ROM drains too much battery. I'm at 59 % now and according to the battery info there's only 1h 33min left...

Flashing LOS (17-05-05) won't make it any better.... :/

Installed it, it's not really helping. Where do I see, what's using most of the battery?

I have an original, completely new battery. And before flashing the phone everything worked well. And it's definitely not fake announced capacity. It lasts not more than 1 h 30 minutes, when used.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] guest4711:
I think your battery is bad. There are plenty of complaints about faked batteries loosing their capacity after short usage...

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] dotnano:
I already checked that battery part of the settings, not helpful. There is always only 1 % Android OS and 1 % display...

I appreciate your help. But before flashing the phone everything worked flawless.

And I bought the battery from a shop in Germany, so I guess there shouldn't be a problem with fake batteries.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] guest4711:
You don't know by whom the shop was delivered... 'ich habe schon Pferde vor der Apotheke...'

As you told us, the battery is draining even on the old rom. And it's draining without signs in batterys monitor... So it's more than likely the battery had lost is capacity. You should try your old one or another friends one... Perhaps you will notice some difference.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] dotnano:
I tested 4 different batteries, all the same. I have two devices, each one with the battery it was originally bought with and two batteries I bought separatly.

I think there might be issues with the baseband version. The device I got from my friend has XXUDOE3 and mine has XXSDPL3. Which is weird, since he bought the phone in Germany and according to the internet UDOE3 is from Austria (and UDOE4 is the German equivalent)...?!

Is there any problem, if I flash my device with the Austrian firmware instead of the German?

But first, I will flash UDOE4 and see what happens. Maybe that's helping.

How can i reset camera settings without opening the camera app? Clicked on a setting in the camera app, now the app crashes every time i start it, so i cant reach the camera settings anymore. I think it was the second option in the ISO-Menu, so dont klick on it if you need your camera. :)

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
Flash with Odin the newest stock ROM from sammobile website for Germany in your case.

Optionally use this way to be sure battery is good/bad.

Then flash twrp with Odin.

Then flash custom ROM with twrp.

This way you will be fine on baseband, modem, and so.

As you are in Germany, buy batteries from http://www.polarcell.de they have good alternative ones. I buy from them on ebay/mail for years. Sometimes the battery get dead after 2 years, but during its life they are really good.

For our S4 Active they have both the with and without NFC versions.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] dotnano:
I don't know guys, it seems like it just doesn't want to work... :(

What have I done or tested so far:

- different batteries: old ones, coming with the phones (original Samsung), new ones I bought (also original Samsung), a battery bought from PowerCell (completely new)

- different devices: I have two devices, doing both nearly the same

- different versions of LOS, starting from 03-08-17 to the recent one

- different stock firmwares: XXUDOB4 and XXSDPL3 (unbranded German), XXUDOE3 (o2 branded German)

How excatly did I flash?

- booting Download mode, connecting to PC

- loading the stock firmware with Odin 3.12.3, button AP. Settings are NAND erase, auto reboot and the other one, that's always default setting

- after that I need to boot in stock recovery, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache

- I let it install and setup completely and charge back again to at least 90 %

- Download mode again, flash TWRP with Odin 3.12.3, default settings with "AP" button

- boot to TWRP (3.1.0-0) and wipe everything, so not only factory but also Data, Internal Storage, everything should be cleaned

- then install LOS via install and OpenGapps via TWRP

Am I doing anything wrong?

Nothing seems to help at all. What's the issue exactly?

Running a full benchmark with AnTuTu includung 3DBench sucks up 8-9 % battery. My Xperia Z1 Compact (nearly the same specs) only uses 3-4 % for the full benchmark.

Another issue I noticed, is that the estimated time left is very inaccurate. For example, it shows ~19 h at 90 % battery, which is ok. But using the phone for 5 minutes (just browsing, nothing fancy!) uses 3 % battery and the estimated time shows only ~ 18 h 30 min. Why is that so?

On the other hand, if I don't use it, i.e. over night, it only needs about 5 -6 % battery, which is totally fine.

Guys, I really need your help. So frustrating. I really would love to use that phone, but if it lasts only 3 h when used, it's totally useless for me :(
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
Everything is ok. I'd use Odin 3.7 but as your version flashed fine then all good.

Twrp is same as I use. It is fine.

Last thing I'd suggest is to use apps like Better Battery Stats, L Speed, Kernel Adiutor, Amplify, Greenify, Smart Network, Leandroid, MyAndroidTools,.....to set better battery profiles, cpu governors, avoid useless wakelocks, hibernate hungry apps that you use, automatically turn off/down connections type, avoid useless app running on boot/other triggers....

Some of them like Amplify, Smart Network, ask for Xposed, that is only available for CM13 (Android 6) and older android versions.

On wifi a 4 to 5 hours of continuous screen on use is ok for a regular battery.

If you're on 4G that sure will be less. How less it is uppon apps that you run and mobile operator signal on your area.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] dotnano:
It would be amazing if it lasted for 4 to 5 hours. At the moment it lasts about 1,5 to 2 hours at best! :/

Honestly, I don't think that those apps would help a lot. They might help me with a few minutes, maybe half an hour, but that's not nearly enough.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
All of them together fine tuned help a lot, hours and hours more, huge difference when standing by or regular use.

For continuous screen on hard use, specially on 4G, just a little (mainly kernel adiutor and L Speed can help a bit on that), that's physics.

But seems you have hardware problems and/or you're running a energy hungry app all the time. As I wrote before, BetterBatteryStats can help pointing you if that's the case.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] dotnano:
As the problem exists even if I install nothing but Geekbench + BetterBatteryStats, I'm sure it's something about the hardware. But what and why?

I'll try CM12.1 right now, let's see if it helps.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
Concerning ROM, I'm pretty sure CM13 build 28 dec do not eat battery itself. I'm using it for months as daily ROM. Besides newest stock, it can be a good test base for you. And then move to LOS or RR 7 if you prefer.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] dotnano:
Tested CM13 16-12-28, complete clean install. Only Geekbench and BetterBatteryStats. Result: still 6 % used during the default CPU test. Could someone please test it and tell how much your phone uses?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] dotnano:
So, has anyone another idea?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
Tried on mine running same cm13 and tons of apps installed. Tuned for battery. Geekbench scores were 600/1500 and battery went from 22% to 17% during test. Battery was original more than 2 years old and sure more than 700, 800 recharge cycles.

Nevertheless this battery lasts for 4 to 5 hours CONTINUOUS screen and wifi ON while using regular apps like browser, facebook, whatsapp,....
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] dotnano:
Well ok, then I'll have to tune my battery, too. How exactly do I have to do that?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
I mean the mobile configs tuned for better battery life (and not performance). Did that using the apps that I wrote before.

Not battery itself tuning.... That's impossible. Even calibration or battery recover apps you have out there are placebo.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] dotnano:
I meant the tools mentioned by you, too ;)

Just never used them, so I asked how to do so. Or is it all easy to use?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] the negrox:
Hey friends, I have a doubt regarding last uploaded ROM, are you facing the fact that EVERY charger you connect to the phone shows "charging fast" message?? Despite, it takes too much to charge, even with a fast charger, with the previous ones, it showed charging slowly o rapid according the charger, and that way the phone charged..... but now it says all are fast and takes for ever to charge...... I have used the same chargers/ cables than before, and they haven´t changed or even been moved from they were before, so I discard it is a charger/cable issue.... Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Bluscream:
Did someone already build and upload this? I'd really like to update my S4 that's currently running CM 12.1 but i'm unable to get linux to build it :(
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
Links are on the thread, 1st posts....

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

You can use the app Ampere to check cables, chargers. Good ones expect Ampere show >1500 on our devices. Slow ones near 1000. Useless ones <500

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------

It depends on the tool. There are almost self explanatory ones like L Speed (just click the i) and others simple to use but that deals with more complex concepts.

In general all them have their own official thread here in xda, just search for them and read the thread to get tips.

For kernel adiutor in particular also read the cpu and io concepts in this thread:

I have already installed ampere app a couple weeks ago and it always shows me around 700mah of charging with any charger/cable combination.... I even have a car charger which is certified to charge iPads at 2.1amp at it charges relative slow my device, with the previous builds of this ROM it was great, that's why I'm asking if it could be a issue with the ROM... I hope my device isn't failing....

Are you serious?

First of all, there are instructions linked in the first post, which allow you to make a recent build on your own.

Second, everyone of the members of the team (like almost everything on xda and most forums of the whole internet) does everything in his free time and gets absolutely nothing for his work. So there is no obligation for them to "make a new build" just because you want one.

And third: at least have the decency to ask for something in complete and correct sentences!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] dotnano:
What settings did you use on Kernel Auditor? The one I used left me with 400 pts at Geekbench (instead of ~750) and still 6 % battery used :(

I used L Speed, too. Used the setting "Battery" there.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] AndroidNoobMaster:
Hey I've seen your post a few times already and I must say I'm really disappointed at you. You kept on asking updates to devs and optimized builds as if they have spare time to give 'em to you. I suggest you build your own and while you're at it, update it. Instructions on how to build it is on the S4 active thread so I suggest you start reading.

Hi,

I also have a GT-i9295, thank you for that development.

'SIDE kernel - heavily optimised for SD600 devices'

I bought mine in France, kernel is 3.4.0-4556221 and build number is I9295XXSDQD2, I guess it is not a SD600 device. Is that a big problem ?

And is there any way to avoid using the gapps ? I don't need it much except for the location service, and it is using a lot of battery. Well I would like to get rid of it if possible.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] guest4711:
ROM is running fine without GAPPS. I don't need them and I didn't flash them. :good:

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] loooms:
I tried it for a few days on my device (with beans gapp pico). It seems that the battery is going down a lock quicker than with a rooted 5.0.1

At the end of my work day without touching the phone much I used to be at 70%, with LOS I am at 50%.

After some time I also get no sound during calls, receiver can answer but cant here me and I cant here them. I tried to flash bootloader and modem several time but that did not fix the issue.

I get back to stock ROM, then to LOS again and that fixed the issue but only for a while.

So I get back to rooted stock rom 5.0.1 for the moment even that was working faster and nicer with LOS

I also made a nandroid backup which was not possible to use on LOS, so all data are lost on LOS

Hi im new here :)

I installed the actual Bild from 14.05. Working fine so far

Batterydrain :

1. At the Beginning you have stats that the Battery just stays for 2 / 3 Hours - so dont paranoid at the Beginning - it needs more a long term calibration.

It stays over 24 Hours in the energy save mode.

2. But i have the feeling if the phone get warm / hot the battery drain is ernoumous. i will have a further look into this.

3. Homebutton or other buttons ( ecept on/off)! Can - deactivate the HomeButton to wake the Handy up ( get out of SleepMode). I ask because i thing in my bag sometimes it goes accidently on.
