Strange bug is happening to me.....Over the last few days I´ve tried clean installing versions of LOS (LuckyNukes & Vlads) and RR. Every things works good until I install SuperSU and update the binaries. As soon as I reboot the phone bootloops!

I´ve tried googling the problem and it seems to be quite common. Most fixes are clean installing, but this doesn´t help me.

So now I´m sticking with RR without SuperSu as the irritating root symbol (#) is removed from the staus bar as a standard with RR.

So not a big problem, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and has a fix?

I´m on TWRP 3.0.2-0 and latest Nordic Modem OB4.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] J Lehikoinen:
Same me. You can flash via twrp i use SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip playstore super su update not work.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] AndroidNoobMaster:
May i ask where's the app drawer? I kept on doing the long press on the main and menu buttons I can't access it. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] WingedLion:
The app drawer is accessed by tapping on the center widget.The "long press home" button takes you to recent apps.You can configure the buttons under "settings"-->"buttons".
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tsvetkov_vlad:
why are you dont use integrated supersu?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] badadam:
I tried that, but after binaries update it goes into bootloop...:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tsvetkov_vlad:
You don't need to update binaries, simply use integrated superuser
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] badadam:
What about the "#" symbol in the staus bar? Will that show up everytime root is accessed? It annoys me! :mad:
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] masdaster:
I would not recommend to increase it more because of sound quality. Let's try something different befor we do that.

There is a new zip attached. I decreased the mic gain a little bit and added a second channel. This second channel is assigned to the mic on top of your device. So both mics are used for recording sound. It's the same as video recording. It uses two channels too.

This zip also increases the speaker volume.

Please tell me if it is good or not...
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] IvanCristina:
I don't use LOS since a while, but under status bar section, you should find the SuperSU indicator disabler. If it's not there, search it into settings, I'd say it's somewhere in that mess (that's why RR is better IMHO)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] typhoon_2099:
Hi, I've updated to the latest build and now trying to make a phone call crashes my phone (hard reset) and Bluetooth Share connects to my car and lasts for a few seconds before crashing. Is this being experienced by anyone else?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] mahir555:
AMAZING:good::good::good:

This zip fixed all the mic & speaker problems perfectly :fingers-crossed:

Must be included in the next builds for sure.

THANKS MAN :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] mahir555:
Now I noticed the following after i tried both roms

1-lineage-14.1-20170214-UNOFFICIAL-jactivelte

2-lineage-14.1-20170214-experimental-side-jactivelte

* [MENTION=7738157]tsvetkov_vlad[/MENTION] rom is perfectly SMOOTH & has a built in root + No multiple popups every time an app grant root access.

* [MENTION=6243385]LuckyNuke1310[/MENTION] ROM has got a far better BATTERY life & the WiFi never stops working as in the other ROM

it would be great if we got a ROM that contains both of this features.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] WingedLion:
I use Vlad's latest build and so far wi-fi never stopped working.If I were to choose between the 2 builds,I would choose Vlad's build.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] mahir555:
The wifi stops just when you do a restart .i have to turn phone off for 20 sec then start it .

give LuckyNuke rom a try .. you will notice great improvement in battery life.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] WingedLion:
I tried that rom and post about it.I'll try it again when the kernel runs at its maximum potential.I would switch to kitkat if there was an up-to-date build.Anyway,I appreciate the fact that developers keep this device updated.

---------- Post added at 18:50 ---------- Previous post was at 18:28 ----------

In Vlad's build,android system(wificonnectivitymanager)wakes up the phone frequently,according to betterbatterystats.I didn't check whether this also happens in Side kernel build.

Edit:Actually,"awake(screen off)" shows 0% so no problem(I think).

Regarding the poll:the best option is to allow the phone's original maximum frequency. This way,people who want to use a lower maximum frequency can do so by adjusting it manually.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] ruffil:
How do I call the task manager in vlad's build?

Pressing and holding the home button does not seem to work, I only get a short haptic feedback and nothing else.

Edit: Never mind, found it. I had to reconfigure my keys. Sorry for the noise.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tsvetkov_vlad:
Update from 18.02

Changelog:

(Move to Side's Kernel. Some feature you can read here.)REMOVED

Increase volume of speakerphone(thnks [MENTION=7566853]masteroftech[/MENTION]).

Increase steps number of volume regulator.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Alex_Gamer:
RR is more smooth than lineage? And the WiFi never stops? I'm planning to move to RR from wizcyan :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] IvanCristina:
In my opinion RR is way better than LOS, moreover now that includes side kernel
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] WingedLion:
Apart from customization,is RR better than LOS in terms of stability/performance/battery life?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] WingedLion:
Thanks,but when I turn the screen off and turn it on later,the maximum CPU frequency is locked at 918MHz and setting it back to 1890MHz doesn't work.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] mahir555:
excuse me for this question but where can i find the RR rom ? is it 7.1.1 like LOS?

the latest update 17-2 is working fine - no complaints at all . wifi :good: battery far better :good: & smooth too

thanks [MENTION=1502738]tsv[/MENTION]edkov_vlad , [MENTION=6243385]LuckyNuke1310[/MENTION]

RR is based on LOS, so you cannot expect incredible changes. The only substantial change is that RR is deodex and LOS is odex. Me and zagi personally prefer RR over LOS
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] kostarum:
Vlad, I didn't quite understood... What is removed in your build from 18 /2 and why?

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9295 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tsvetkov_vlad:
in build from 17.02 i changed kernel to side, but after testing, i understood, that custom kernel need's a small range of people. So i remove custom kernel and revert to official LOS kernel in build from 18.02. Side kernel will be in separate post later
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] kostarum:
Ok, thanks for explaining this.

Is battery life now better in your build or?

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9295 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tsvetkov_vlad:
if kernel not changed, i think battery life not changed too. For better battery life u can try to change max freq to 1674Mhz in app Kernel Toolkit.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] mahir555:
indeed this side kernel is excellent in 17-2 version

all bugs are cleared .. & see my battery life now!!

pls don't ignore it in your future updates.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] IvanCristina:
Well, unfortunately me and Vlad decided it's a bit complicated to use it perfectly. There will be a new thread just for it, but next builds will ship with stock kernel
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] kostarum:
But why? If it's way better, why then?

Is there any new OS update??
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] WingedLion:
Here is the latest build: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71077486&postcount=246
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] IvanCristina:
Because on side kernel, to use any frequency different from 900 MHz you have to disable and then re-enable mpdecision. That after every clean/dirty installation. By the way, I think a new thread will be created just for side kernel, so don't mind. As you could saw, here we don't build the same thing everytime, but we always try something better, and if it is not, we revert the changes. The only stable builds I make are RR, those are for the final user, but even there, I always experiment.

But I'm sure at a certain point we'll find the best ROM base, kernel, ROM manager, toolchain, and after putting all together, let our phone finally reborn.

Remember this is a work in progress ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] mahir555:
indeed the RR rom is very good , i shifted to it

especially it has the side kernel which gives a better battery life , smooth and a lot of customizations .

however it is so amazing that our dear developers continue doing their best for this phone. Really appropriated.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JommarJet:
Thank you very much mate! And also for the devs who still keeping our s4 active still active!

Cheers!!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] pchatzop:
It's great to see such development for the phone after my little contribution, like a little trickle that started an avalanche! My friend is still a happy camper on my compiled Marshmallow RR(my first test with nougat left him with buggy wifi and no video recording!) but will be thrilled to know how far has nougat come together thanks to the teams' effort, and will soon install the nougat RR rom to his phone.

Since exams are finally over(and soon getting my pharmacology master), I am hard at work trying to port a good new rom for my phone(the nubia z7 max). Mostly a good CAF rom. I tried Dirty Unicorns(too little features and some bugs), NitrogenOS(great feature-wise but cannot get it to work correctly on my phone) and halogenOS(pure CAF which is great, working perfectly, but almost AOSP-like, no features apart from buttons and navbar settings). If anyone can point me to a good rom with a healthy amount of customization and an almost pure CAF base, i would appreciate it immensely.

Feels great to be a "godfather" to this great project!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] kostarum:
Can you tell me if your RR and LineageOS builds fully support ALL LTE bands? Also band 20?

And yes, Lucky Luke, I understand you very well. Please keep good work and make builds to be near perfect.

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] IvanCristina:
Thank you to let this happen, together with [MENTION=275302]tsvi[/MENTION]etOK

Hope you all the best for your studies

They should, though I cannot personally try all the LTE bands in the world :rolleyes:

Probably never, considering that not even S4 went official.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] IvanCristina:
MESSAGE TO ALL LOS/BASED ROMS.

LineageOS is rebasing on CAF, so some stuff could be broken if you build these hours/days or you could even get weird errors while compiling (I've got today too).

Wait for them to finish, I'd bet CAF sources will make a difference (hoping positive one)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] floydburgermcdahm:
Following your noobproof guide to set up a build machine right now... I noticed that in your local_manifest folder on Github, you have different versions for RR, LOS and so on. So, if I want to build LOS for example, do I copy los_manifest.xml into my local_manifests folder? Do I have to rename the file afterwards into local_manifest? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] kostarum:
You mean on this here: http://lineageos.org/Last-Week-in-LineageOS-2/

What that mean for us, end user ? Can you, please, better explain, so I can understand it ? Thanks !

P.S. Can you, in future, please, make detail Changelog for every new build that you make ? Would be very helpful to know what is fixed, or new.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] IvanCristina:
Yes. Download anyone you want, and then rename it local_manifest.xml. Then do the following steps and go on.

CAF means Code Aurora Forum, and, in poor words, it mean optimised sources for Snapdragon devices, like our S4A.

About the changelog, I'll take in consideration the idea.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] floydburgermcdahm:
Cool, thanks. I am still getting some errors when repo syncing but might be due to CAF rebase. I'll give it some time and then try to build my first ROM. :D

Can someone post a guide on how to flash the bootloader and modem?What settings to use in Odin and which files to flash?I found some tutorials but they're all different.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
Long story short:

you will lose all data! Just flash with Odin the newest original Samsung lollipop ROM available to your country in sammobile site (firmware section). Prefer the generic, not customized for carrier.

Then flash TWRT with Odin. And then your desired custom ROM with TWRT (first always wipe system + data + cache + dalvik + internal sd/media).

Alternative without data loss:

Extract bootloader + modem + lte modem files with unzip from the original Samsung rom, cook then with img2tar, flash those with Odin.

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

Browsers....

Sure Firefox is the best (huge) option.

Naked Browser (US) and Xbrowser/Fastest Mini (chinese by XMan) are the tiniest and fastest ones.

Lightning a nice open-source alternative.

Puffin if you really need true desktop like, including ads.

Orfox if privacy is a concern.

Just forget default browser. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] WingedLion:
Haven't tried Orfox, but you can tweak Firefox for privacy by using extensions("Privacy Settings" for example) and applying these recommendations https://www.privacytools.io/#about_config

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] floydburgermcdahm:
Thanks, I will! Bear with me for a while because right now I am in the process of moving from the US to Germany, and my build machine is about to be packed into a container and sail the Atlantic! I did go for an Intel NUC in the end, but the one with the HQ instead of the U processor.

Anyway, in the meantime I downloaded your latest build dated Feb 22nd and will test it... :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
Is lucky's build 20170222 using Side kernel? As far as I understood from previous Lucky/Vlad posts they will open a new thread dedicated to it. This thread here is and will continue to release builds with default LOS kernel. Am I wrong?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] IvanCristina:
Well, now that frequencies bug has been fixed (looks like so), I'll open a poll again for let you choose between side and JF (stock). If stock will be chosen, we'll make a separated thread just for side
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
The problem with polls is that who use XDA LAB app do not see it. Even don't know that it is available. Only yesterday night I saw (on windows) that there is a frequency poll... By the way my suggestion is higher available the better, who want can tune it lower with Kernel Adiutor or similar.

So polls results can lead to a false user's picture.

My suggestion is to have a Side kernel only thread if it is not a pain for you building and releasing.

Or just this thread here and only one download area but different names on releases... Like -SideKernel- and -StockKernel- on zip filenames.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] IvanCristina:
I'd like to open another poll, because if people prefer side, I would not build JF anymore, considering that building the kernel separately would be another thing to add to our "to do list". Moreover, considering that I'm a student and zagi works, even if we are always glad to build, that would not be that easy for us
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
I completely agree with your point, that's why I'd edited my post just before you replied to it. See my final words. Maybe that is a good alternative and you also do not double the releases, just do regularly the best option (Side?) and once in a while, say every 3 or 4 releases, the other one (stock). Their names on androidfilehost will let it clear for all and people download what they prefer (and you can check download times on androidfilehost's counter)

Hey I tried almost every recent build of Luke/Zaggi (also RR) and Vlad and all had the same issue. That I couldn't change the menu buttons key assignment. Its called recent button thou. At one click it opens the settings and at a double click the search assistant no matter what I assign in the button settings. I tried that on two different devices.

I'm still having major phone call issues with this ROM. Most of the time when I try to make or receive a phone call I hear nothing and the other end gets to hear a data feed (like a fax machine). Something's going wrong there and the only thing I can think that it might be is that I use the bluetooth to connect to my car. I'm pretty sure one of the times I couldn't get the phone to work I connected it to a bluetooth speaker and then I got the sound back.

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] DauIau:

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] WingedLion:
Could you post the difference?Anyway,keep in mind that stock rom isn't updated anymore(no security updates).
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
Beside that you should at least compare cpu frequencies, governors, io.... That is set same on both. Benchmark without setting same is useless. Well benchmark in general is almost useless :p

Use kernel adiutor on both to do that. And be sure that "performance", "by app",... Is not set, otherwise SO tricks only over benchmark app.

I am now using the 28.02. build from LuckyNuke with the LOS-Kernel for several days without any mayor problems.

In combination with the mixer-path file made by masteroftech everything works fine: WiFi, camera, recording volume, Bluetooth, tethering, battery life..

I encountered no problems when I upgraded my phone directly to this build from CM13-build created by pchatzop.

The only thing I was missing was the "old" file manager. I solved this by installing the extracted CM14 file manager apk (thanks to FaserF).

Thank you all very much for your great work!:good:
