Hi there, is there a way to keep my apps alive and active without having my screen suffer screenburn? Any suggestions are welcome! tia
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
Yes. Closing background apps after your screen is locked helps save power.

But in general, there is an option in Settings of your phone to set a white list of some apps which will not be closed after your screen is locked.

Is there any way to fix it or i should go to another rom? thanks! btw everything else is workind and the rom is realy fast and staybe but without the ambility to make call this rom is useless to me :P
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Hedi.Karray:
i will see what i can do

i have no such problem and i guess everyone else who tried it never face such problem

you did a full wipe or not before installing ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] xarisioannina:
yes i did a clear intallation of course! its not my first time of istalling a custom rom :P i ve flashed more than 20 roms in past! i used also the TWRP 3.1.0-0. I will try to make again the installation and I hope to fix this problem :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kisvagen:
Im facing this call problem too :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] xarisioannina:
maybe calls are working only on E330s model! the gt-i9506 is not suitable for this rom

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Hedi.Karray:
yes it could be a problem for i9506 users , can anyone provide me a link of a stock rom for i9506 ( MM) which work great without any problem ?

im glad that now it works , and i apologize , i thought that Language zip would fix it ( im not using my phone since yesterday since my battery died , thats why iam not trying things before i post them ) but i will try to find a fix for the language , and thanks for the feedback :)

thank you bro , but i already shared a patch to fix it :) you should use it
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] MasterThiefGarrett:
I may stick with 5.0.1 because the Note 3 camera mod works with my i9506 :) (1080p 60fps)

Also does this ROM of yours work good with the i9506? And Android 6 (MM) is ok-ish... but I'd really like Nougat, that's going to be hard to get though ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Hedi.Karray:
iam not sure but i guess the camera in this rom record 1080 with 60 fps !

and as far i used it and also i9506 users said , its a great rom and even from its size you can tell how much its debloated , but anyway feel free :)

Nice work Hedi.Karray!

I'll install this rom later when rom supports Japanese and Korean.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] hahmad78:
first of all dear dev, Thanks for such a nice port,

it is speedy and bug free atleast for me,:D

i am using e330s.

just want to ask few questions, you have adjusted lcd density to 420, while stock roms have 480,

more over , all text looks strectched length wise, not balanced, maybe due to aspect ratio issue, how can i adjust it.i have changed the lcd density to 480 but it did not help,

may be it is due to s8 launcher, should i change the launcher?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Hedi.Karray:
iam afraid TTS wont work , since i deleted the TTS folder as a part of debloating but keep me updated if you will manage to make it work ( sorry )

i think it does but feel free :) and thank you for your kernel :)

the stretched text is due to the S8 FONT not an unbalance or something wrong

and iam glad the ROM was good for you :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] :
It's working now! Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Hedi.Karray:
im happy for you :)

the Rom is performing good ? :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] :
I am using a different kernel. But yes, the performance is great! However I can't say much about battery life yet.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Hedi.Karray:
which kernel ure using ? and do you think its better than the inbuilt one ? well the battery will also depend on the kernel but after 2 days you can share a battery stat screen :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] :
I am using stock kernel by gugu0das. It has almost no additional features, but I am just looking for stability.

Link: https://gugu0das.blogspot.de/2016/12/lollipopmarshmallownougat.html?m=1

I can't tell which one is better.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] MasterThiefGarrett:
Can anyone test if 1080p 60fps video recording works?

Could be called 'smooth motion' :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] xarisioannina:
I think this camera "issue", that you cant capture at 60fps ,is related to the kernel. 38fps make the video a little bit smoother in addition to 30fps. Btw i tried to install gugu0das kernel release 5.1 for touchwiz o/c without any luck. After the installation my phone goes automatically in downloading mode. The build in kernel is very good. I face no lag at all. But I would like to test also an o/c kernel to improve my Antutu score and of course to test if with this kernel the video fps are not limited to 38fps
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Hedi.Karray:
yes i also think its a kernel issue , cuz the MAX FPS is 60 so its not limited to 38 , it just can only reach that but if the performance would allow it it can reach 60
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] FakerS3:
Performance is great some freezes but rom is just instaled it needs some time to adapt i always used aosp based roms and camera is great and night option is awesome only pro feature is not working to capture a picture 10 seconds like on s6 or s7 and s8 but i like this rom but battery is for 2 SOC and phone heats when u use apps its normal for this processor ..but winter is coming so it's great

If u could make kernel more battery friendly that would be great

I will swap my phone for Xperia z3 (maybe) So this rom rocks gives a s4 new life :)

And Full HD 60fps works
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Hedi.Karray:
thank you for your detailed feedback , and iam glad you like the rom :)

for the Kernel , [MENTION=5046736]kitakami[/MENTION] will take care of that :p he is the best kernel dev for me :p

and honestly i never was a big fan of Sony when it comes to smartphones , i only love Samsung

thanks also for the camera Feedback :)

Auto reboot on i9506

Hello Friends,

Nice work, the Rom is really smoth... the best I've seen for this phone. The only problem i faced, that is really boring, is that the rom auto reboots from time to time... there is no systematic behavior that i could identify. Does anyone faced the same? Is there any option i must switch off in settings to avoid this?

Thanks for the help.

Cheers

NEW UI MOD ( need to be tested , do a backup before you flash it )

- 3minit battery: red orange green pin ..

- 3minit clock: clock styles

- toggle discoloration

- discoloration brightness bar

- on / off brightness in home page

I have tried all available kernels for my I9506 (DarkLord, gugu0das, Lightning ) included the new Lightning Release 16.3 Beta3.

But same problem, random reboot :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] hahmad78:
did you install xposed framework or magisk manager?

because i have installed these and after that problem of random reboot started.

i have e330s, and installed systemless xposed framework.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] 3lambda:
If you install xposed framework you should not report random reboot issue

Xposed can be unstable and cause issue

No way to do with base rom

If xposed isn't installed better to make a logcat
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] hahmad78:
Dear Dev, i know xposed issues, thats why i did not report it, i was just asking '' 4shared'' that may be he is experiencing random reboots issue due to xposed.

anyways thanks,

dear dev, are you working something new for our device?:D
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] 3lambda:
No problem :)

Maybe yes

maybe no

For the moment nothing as i'm busy with short movie project

Maybe in the future

(Miui 9 ? A hybrid custom rom ? An auto porter from note 3 ? )
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Svideira:
Hello,

I did not install anything else than the Rom and 9506 patch and i did a full wipe as recommended. The problem appeared right after the phone booted, so i had no time to install anything :)

Can somebody help? Thanks

Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] 3lambda:
Then logcat when it happens it'll help the developer

I also tried the original Rom from the [MENTION=4350788]haifish9999[/MENTION] Note 3 thread, of course with the autoporter files and kernel.

but same problem..

I'm using other rom, will logcat later ...

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonyTeoTeo:
Hi, rom is great.

What version of kernel does the rom use?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] xarisioannina:
this rom uses Lightning Kernel. You can try also gUgU0das kernel but if you want to listen to my opinion the stock kernel is the best. I try to use the o/c version of gugu0das kernel and my phone goes like crazy random reboots, high temperature, a lot of lag sometimes, stuck when i was trying to charge it closed and worst antutu score. The kernel goes up to 2.8ghz? and the gpu up to 520hz and the antutu score is 3000 less? come on... ! I hit 64.000+ on antutu using Lightning Kernel, my phone is much more colder i havent random reboots etc. The only issue is that sometimes the sensors goes off and you need to restart your device to fix it. but i use this rom for about 10 days and i face this error 2 times. So no problem at all.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonyTeoTeo:
Thank for your advice, but I mean what version of lightning kernel included in the rom? Should I update the latest version of lightning kernel if it is released?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] xarisioannina:
If i remember well its the version 16.2. I update to 16.3
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] PLNatanPL:
Can you add polish language and enable NFC? Why did you disabled NFC?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonyTeoTeo:
I will wait for the next release of lightning kernel, ver 16.2 seems to be good and sensor is ok.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonyTeoTeo:
1. My camera can zoom normally.

3. I can edit screenshots from preview window.

I think you guys should flash stock 5.0.1 via Odin before flashing the rom. I did it and have no issues after 1 week using.
