[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] grzwolf:
With what cm11 version did it work for you?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gphg:
Link provided in the first post.

Cromecast is not working.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] grzwolf:
Confirmed:

Chromecast screen mirror works well with latest official CM build cm-11-10160815-NIGHTLY-jflte.zip,

but it doesn't work with the version provided in the OP.

Thank your for your feedback, I'm going to add a warning regarding this issue.

Two choices:

a) I screwed it up with my local build.

b) One of the patches between August 2016 till now did it.

Either way not easy to find out, at least not for me. Let's see.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] grzwolf:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
its so funny guys...u are asking questions about rom and just waiting for answer...

dont u respect the dev who spend some hours to build/upload ?

Just give a try to the rom...thats the "thank you" he want from u....come on!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] grzwolf:
The only development will be "mostly" security patches.

"mostly" means: Recently the LineageOS team started to rebrand some naming in the sources.

But other than this, I'm pretty sure there will be no feature development.

Therefore, only the above mentioned patches will make the difference to original CM11.

Chances are low, that the security patches will screw it up.

I didn't notice any difference.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kxymm:
i buy a s4 this year(my last phone are stolen) and i never tested the cm11 and i don't know how are battery life in kitkat hahahahha

Try the rom. Give the dev feedback.

This is the only way things progress.

I'm strictly going to build the ROM using pristine sources from LineageOS.

So you are correct, I do not plan to add new features or modifications.

Even if I could find a fix for the screen mirroring issue, I would go the regular way thru Gerrit https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/status:open+branch:cm-11.0

very good, its pretty stable, and batter life is up to 4 hours of active use.

And can last a few days if you don't over use your phone too much, i would also advise installing googymax kernel and LSpeed from playstore to better performance.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ZanyG:
I can't get it to proceed from the bootscreen (circle moving along line).

After 45 mins to an hour there is still no progress but the phone is getting warm to the touch.

Here is what i've tried in the course of the last few days:

recoveries:

twrp-2.7.1.0-jfltexx (for future reference: don't go lower than 2.8.4 if you want to be able to upgrade without odin ...)

twrp-2.8.7.0-jfltexx

twrp-3.0.2-0-jfltexx

twrp-3.1.0-0-jfltexx

twrp-3.2.1-0-jfltexx

roms:

lineage-11-20171211-UNOFFICIAL-jflte

lineage-11-20180217-UNOFFICIAL-jflte

edit:

nothing else has been installed (kernel, supersu, gapps)

1. wipe data, cache, dalvik

2. wipe system

3. install lineage image

4. wipe data, cache, dalvik

5. reboot

6. wait an hour or so

7. install lineage image again (because some guide said it helps and i don't see how it would be bad)

8. reboot

9. wait ...

Any suggestions on where I might have gone wrong?

edit:

Do i perhaps need a specific baseband/radio/? version?

If so, could you please recommend one that works with this?

Currently I've got

getprop gsm.version.baseband

returns nothing (but 'about device' says its I9505XXUGNG8)

getprop ro.boot.bootloader

I9505XXUGNG8
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ZanyG:
1. Are you using GoogyMax3_CM-Kernel_1.2.5_CWM from here ? It's the last one to have cm11 support.

2. Did you try the kernels mentioned in the op? If so how big of a difference does it make?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Nesh89:
i have tried other kernels, googymax 1.2.5 has battery life, and is complete and fully stable, just go to stweaks and raise your charging voltages, i also install LSpeed and use the battery settings, thy work well together and battery life is much longer.

This is my every day rom with those settings, i have bin using them for a long time.

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

btw i recommend using cwm to flash this rom. Just make a clean install.

Whipe data factory reset, whipe vach and delvic, mount system format system, flash rom, flash kernel, flash gapps, whipe cach and delvic boot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ZanyG:
Progress!

I'm trying CWM_6.0.4.7_Touch_GT-I9505 from here and upgraded my bootloader/radio to XXUHQC1.

And I get over the loading screen now. Right to an 'Encryption unsuccessful' message. I guess that answers what takes so long on first boot.

Anyways here's a guide on what to do in that case. Fingers crossed.

Edit: Nooooooo. But now I get that error even after going back to twrp and reflashing from there. So its probably a question of having the right bootloader-version. Yay?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Nscreated:
At first I was confused because the Security Bulletins haven't mentioned 4.4.4 since October 2017. But actually you can see all of the more recent commits here: https://android-review.googlesource.com/q/android-4.4+backport

I assume most of those are related to ASB. In fact the ones on top clearly address Spectre.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] grzwolf:
What happens when using the latest twrp?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] droidman99:
not working with twrp 3.2
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ZanyG:
Update:

'Encryption failed' gave me a lot of trouble. And factory-reset or reinstalling did not help.

TLDR: /data must NOT be F2FS formated

Make sure all partitions are ext3/4 formated and your bootloader is somewhat recent. XXUGNK4 or XXUHQC1 work for me.

If you decide to reformat - BACKUP FIRST!

Using TWRP 3.0.2-0 to flash LineageOS11+GoogyMax125+SuperSU282:

- Flashed XXUGNK4 bootloader and GSM.

--> no go: 'Encryption failed'

- Checked all partitions. Found /data is F2FS formated.

--> reformated to ext4

--> works!

Now I got curious. Did I waste my time messing around with all the wrong things?

Using TWRP 3.2.1-0 to flash LineageOS11+GoogyMax125+SuperSU282:

- XXUGNK4 bootloader and GSM.

--> works!

- XXUHQC1 bootloader and GSM.

--> works!

So in conclusion: Yes, I did waste a lot of my time :silly:

But I also got it to work in the end :victory:

Finally back on KitKat. Thanks for the awesome rom!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] grzwolf:
Gesture typing works out of the box. Though I don't use xposed at all.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lamuzi:
I have this rom + googy kernel 1.2.5 + xposed_fix.zip for xposed support

Xposed works, kernel works, rom works, only swipe gesture with the default keyboard of this rom doesn't work. Whats the problem? Xposed? I haven't tried before without xposed. :(

Edit: YES! i found a really nice alternative! "Perfect Keyboard free" and set to T9, I really love the T9 support and its for me faster then swipe gesture! Perfect Keyboard doesn't collect data and dont need internet access! Really safe!!

Edit2: i removed xposed, install rom + googy kernel 1.2.5 again without factory reset and gesture bug isn't fixed. Sad. Maybe fault of the kernel? [MENTION=5425006]ZanyG[/MENTION]: can you answer me?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ZanyG:
Sorry mate, can't help you with this. I've never installed xposed since I had no use for it. As for swipe I don't use that either. I activated it right quick as a test but it doesn't do much for me: The "swipe-line" is visible as I move my finger, but no words appear. Maybe I'm just too old for such newfangled things.

T9 sounds more like my speed anyways so I'll keep "Perfect Keyboard free" in mind.

Hi there first off hats to you for your hard work and dedication for this device but unfortunately i have a problem with youtube in your latest build. Youtube crashes to homescreen when clicking on any youtube video to watch so i cant watch any youtube videos. Im hoping you can find a fix as i really want to use this rom as my daily driver. Hope to hear from you soon again thanks for your hard work:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] grzwolf:
You're absolutely sure, only the latest build is affected?

I'm rather afraid, it never did work well ...

Anyway, generate a logfile:

open terminal app (stock Android Terminal Emulator Jack Palevich), !! not !! the widget

$su (root is needed to capture messages from all processes, prompt will change from $ to #)

#logcat -c (have clean/fresh logcat)

#logcat > /sdcard/log.txt (start log messages capture, log.txt will be found in /sdcard or /storage/emulated/0)

let terminal run in background (push home button)

provoke failing (bad ROM) scenario

switch back to terminal (long press home) and close terminal (X in title bar)

Repeat steps above with a succeeding/good ROM and post both logfiles.

I don't know which builds are affected but I can tell you its an issue in most of your builds. Its an issue that I personally don't know how to fix but I know lord nerevar from the nexus 7 2012 forums knows the answer and the fix. He fixed this YouTube issue in his latest slimkat ROM so you might want to ask him how to fix it. Until then I can't use your rom as I rely on watching YouTube videos daily.

You can check his thread here:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
Have you tried an alternate youtube app? I would recommend newpipe.

Probably the media system in the ROM is just too old for formats YouTube thinks it should use today. Newpipe allows you to force a particular format.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] JT1510365:
No I haven't I usually I stay away from those as I want to use only the official YouTube app.

I talked to another dev who fixed this issue and he told me how to stop yt from crashing.

The reason it crashes is because of one of the system lib files which is the lib stagefright OMX file you need to replace that file with a different file which I provided in my flashable fix I attached. My fix should fix YouTube crashing fully as well as maybe other apps. Thanks for your hard work though gzrwolf and I'm glad I got YouTube fixed now:)

I'm glad I can now enjoy this ROM:)

Thanks. Unfortunately this rom seem to be a bit unstable on my phone and freezes now and then at random situations. Last time I received text message and went to see it and message app froze so that I had to reboot the phone. I did clean flash and used gapps from link provided in this discussion (opengapps 4.4 didn't work). Also this ROM seem to make phone run hot.

I just want to find ROM that has up to date security patches and doesn't make my phone heat up excessively. So far I've tried LineageOS 14.1 and custom LineageOS 13 but they also make phone run very hot during simple web browsing. I was very happy to use stock Samsung Kitkat 4.4.2 and it kept phone cool most of the time but Samsung stopped supporting it long time ago.
