BT on feb alpha release

Great Job but I still having problem with car bluethoot handfree. It connects but I hear only noise. I tried to use 1.4 or 1.5 or 1.3 BT parametr without any solution. I always roll back to 7.1.2.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tsvetkov_vlad:
Can you please send me a logcat when you connect to car
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] humbahumba:
Hey Vlad,

I know you have mentioned the "broken camera" issue many times before since LOS 14. Is it a general LOS problem, or one related to Samsung cameras (like in S4)- or is it specific just to our S4 active? (And what is your prognosis: any chance to fix it sooner or later?)

Thanks a lot

BT car handfree

Hi,

I have just restored 7.1.2 . What a deal! I know you are working to fix the gapps fail loop on first boot. As soon I will download the new release I will test BT and I will try to obtain the log (I will check in developer menù). Camera is both important but I have only to wait for it.

Best regards,

Nick
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tsvetkov_vlad:
Camera issue is general los problem only for old devices. Yeah, there is a chance to fix camera, but i cannot guarantee it.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
I don't know if it will help or not you/LOS, but few days ago I installed LOS on a "S4 Mini" i9192 of a friend of mine and camera works fine on it.

Also our S4 Active i9295 with CM13 (available here in XDA, but no source code unfortunately) the camera works fine.

EDIT:

To let it clear: I installed LOS 14.1, Android 7.1.2, on the S4 Mini without camera issues. With LOS15 the S4 Minis are having video problems on camera, BUT seems can use the app "Footej Camera" without problems.

By the way, I've already seen the use of FOOTEJ CAMERA and OPEN CAMERA on other devices when having stock camera problems. Maybe it can be an workaround also for our S4 Active.....I'm not on LOS15 yet to try it. If you try, please let us know how it performs.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
Just to let all you know, official Open Gapps for our device and this ROM (ARM 8.1, I recommend PICO) is now available on official website: http://opengapps.org/

[MENTION=7738157]tsvetkov_vlad[/MENTION] maybe it is better to edit thread first post.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tsvetkov_vlad:
Yeah, i know, thx

Hi

I've been using LOS since it went out and having a great experience with it.

I'm having issues with calls lately, not sure it related to LOS though. I can't hear the other person and they can't hear me.

It started as a rare bug but lately it's getting frequenter and i'm almost unable to use the phone as phone :(((

Ones the problem started, the only way I can get it back to work is by resetting the phone, and now it doesn't helps anymore =\

I wiped the phone, re-flashed and updated the ROM of course, but no luck over there...

I thought maybe it has something to do with the modem version so I tried to flash back the original Samsung firmware (Android 5) and surprisingly the same issue occurred! I was not able to make any phone calls! (The call is getting connected, but no sound at all, on either side, not even on voicemail)

I must say that the microphone and speakers works normal, as I can record voice message, listen to music and even perform WhatsApp voice call (not sure if it works as good as before though).

Also, the SIM card works good with other phones, so no problems over there.

Does anyone faced this issue and have any clue of solving it?

I afraid this issue cant be solved, so I'll have to spend +$700 on a new device..:(

Any help will be highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance !!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] danilmetall:
Hello everybody! After the firmware, when the phone is loaded, the system is not responding window appears. do you want to close it? , and does not respond to touch, hangs and there are no further actions. Reacts only to hard buttons, no touch.

How to win this problem, really want to have 8.1? I tried everything correctly, only instead of TWRP I used CWM, because the first one for some reason does not work for me. Earlier Lineage got up right away and without problems, only the camera buggy periodically.

P.S.Google translator burns)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] dejcii:
This is hardware problem. You can try to rehot audio ic chip.

An alternative is to use bluetooth headset for calls.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] oori002:
Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure I got it correctly.. How can that be an hardware issue? As the mic and speaker works great, just not during calls.. =\
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] dejcii:
Will try to explain.

During "normal" calls the voice (speaker+mic) handle audio chip on the motherboard. When you use bluetooth headset for calls, the voice does not handle that IC.

You can also use Viber call as an alternative, because voice doesn't go through IC this way.

Thank you very much for your work. This beta version is less stable than the previous ones. Is there a chance for a new release?

Is it how the environment will build itself and compile based on the description from: https: //github.com/tsvietOK/Instruction-How-to-create-build-for-jactivelte will it generate the latest version based on LineageOS sources?

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] michstuff:
any eta on camera fix or workarround?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] 115ek:
If the problem was the common HAL1 camera problem, then it should be fixed. [MENTION=7738157]tsvetkov_vlad[/MENTION] knows that better for sure.

The lineage team fixed a lot of stuff concerning the camera in the last couple of weeks/months. Last thing I remember is https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/LineageOS/android_frameworks_av/+/213062/.

If this kernelpatch https://github.com/Electry/android_kernel_lenovo_msm8974/commit/1c902887e246b2c9f31191a999dd592600e376a1 is applied too, also the video recording should work flawlessly.

Maybe a simple

repo sync

and rebuild afterwards already does the trick.

Good luck :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tsvetkov_vlad:
This patch you proposed can't be applied to our kernel because of different version of kernels and different kernel structure.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] 115ek:
Well, you're right. It was just a quick guess. But even if you can't apply this for your kernel: for my msm8974 device the kernel patch "just" fixed performance issues.

But if MSM_VIDC_V4L2 isn't used in your case (looks like it's msm8974 specific...) then it can't cause issues ;)

I think the critical parts that prevented HAL1 camera blobs from working are inside frameworks/av. And there patches were made. Did you already tried with updated sources?

Would be too nice if it solves the problem. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tsvetkov_vlad:
Yeah, i have tried updated sources and no success:( I will try to find a fix of camera.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] 115ek:
Is that necessary: https://github.com/tsvietOK/android_device_samsung_jf-common/commit/3c5784fac152637453fe140d1aa832b6bc56f3e6#diff-91a0c9b8c208b0d89d82f7f5eb025987

? Do you tested without "legacy" and new sources?

And why did you removed

TARGET_USES_MEDIA_EXTENSIONS := true

?

But as far as I see you're also using try and error method here. These hidl things :silly:

Or do you exactly know what you're doing? I would be happy if you can share your knowledge then :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tsvetkov_vlad:
I reverted this change because it don't helped in build with new sources(it was test, as mentioned in commit). TARGET_USES_MEDIA_EXTENSIONS removed, because this var enabled for all QC devices by default https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_vendor_lineage/+/213117/

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] LayerEight:
Afaik camhardware of S4 and S4A is different. Maybe thats the reason?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
Hey! This is an important point!

I even do remember that on Super WizCyan ROM by JASONRR is used a patch to have the ROM camera (originally to i9505) working on I9295!

On Super WizCyan there are - beside the ROM itself - the Aroma Addon Package and I remember that the camera app / system files ate different on both i9505 and i9295 Package versions.

Now on latest release seems the camera files are already on the i9295 Master Patch (that is applied over i9505 ROM + i9505 Aroma Addon Package)

Maybe [MENTION=7738157]tsvetkov_vlad[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] can check that and find the problem root cause, maybe even the solution is already on the master patch. Maybe with the help of [MENTION=5266778]JASONRR[/MENTION]

Thanks all! Good to have our beloved S4 Active alive up and running nicely!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] side:
I agree with it. Since the open source part of camera is same I bet that the problem is actually the blobs. We can wait [MENTION=5266778]JASONRR[/MENTION] reply.

I am here to help in any way
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
The S4 Active uses some additional / different libs compared to the 9505, you can take a look at the libs in the masterpatch to find the libs required for camera.

Hello,

would it be possible to make the phone to save 3 types of pictures per shoot instead of 2? I meant that I would like the phone saving RAW, jpg and Monochrome samples of every shoot instead of saving only Raw and color jpg.

Is there anyway of modding camera app to get this feature?

Thank you.

I don't even know how to take 2 pictures ?

How you do that?
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] bk227865:
going from raw to monochrome in post is not good enough ?

EDIT: i did not think this trough..... of course its not good enough .... otherwise you would no have asked.... silly me
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] gordinflas:
Yes. In raw mode the phone saves 2 pictures.

I need it to save 3 or raw color and monochrome at least. I use them to stack a picture in photoshop and the result is amazing IMO, but I must take two shoots, hence the pictures are different, specially in long exposure.

I need a way to take raw color and monochrome in one single shoot.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] Tea Time:
I am thinking about the same problem: raw+Monochrome should do magic.

But when switching from raw to MCh phone changes the angle/positioning so its imposible to take 2 identical photos...
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] gordinflas:
That's not much of a problem. A bit of tweaking with photoshop and done.

But I wonder why both pictures are so different in angle and size. A matter of lens?

Two crops of 100% size pictures. First one is the Jpg that saves the phone. The second one is a merge between Raw and monochrome pictures in photoshop, not quite elaborated:
[Magisk] Lange_666:
Samsung Galaxy S6: Wanted to update from Marshmellow (rooted with SU) to Nougat.

Unrooted, updated to Nougat and rooted with SU 2.78 and used Titanium Backup to re-install some stuff and mainly data back into Nougat.

Everything worked good but while reading a bit more i found that there was a newer version of SU then the one i had used (2.82 instead of 2.78).

So i uninstalled SU 2.78 and installed 2.82 instead.

Then i noticed that some stuff didn't work anymore, one thing was toggling NFC on or off through Tasker, it always came with an error that there was no root for System+ in Secure Settings.

But whatever i tried, i could not get System+ detecting root in Secure Settings, also not when trying a few fixes i found on the internet (ex: https://dammit.nl/20160406-how-to-f...oid-devices-with-supersu-systemless-root.html).

Went back to SU 2.78 but that didn't work our anymore either.

While gathering information (i don't follow the progress on rooting etc... because lack of time) i stumbled on Magisk for doing the root.

Unrooted SU and re-rooted with Magisk 14.2

Then System+ in Secure Setting could be enabled again and i could toggle NFC through Tasker again without issues.

But, tapping on the Power Toggles NFC symbol still brings me to the Nougat settings page to set NFC from there (and then the Power Toggle NFC status isn't updated) instead of toggling NFC direct like it used to do before with SU 2.78 (on Marshmellow and the first install of Nougat with SU 2.78).

Looking for a solution for this i found this on the Power Toggles website (http://powertoggles.com/help/?e=17).

It says that you always are directed to the phone's settings to set either GPS or NFC and only works directly if you have root.

Well, it works fine for GPS but for NFC. Power Toggles see's root for the GPS function but not for the NFC one... weird.

Removing Magisk and re-installing it doesn't help, nor does going back to whatever version of SuperUser so i'm still looking for a solution to toggle NFC directly from Power Toggles.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
My Tasker Root Support module have been reported to make Secure Settings recognise root. You could give that a try...
[Magisk] Lange_666:
Thx, i'll give it try but this then means i have to go back to SuperUser for root instead of Magisk?

The actual problem is that Secure Setting does detect root now when rooted with Magisk but that Power Toggles only partly thinks is not (works fine GPS toggle, not for NFC).

I guess the problem lies more on the Power Toggles part (but then that's a wild guess) which only seems to see half of a root so to say... LOL.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Toggling NFC with Power Toggles works fine for me. With Magisk.

And no... You'll have to stay on MagiskSU to use Magisk modules. SuperSU isn't compatible with Magisk.
[Magisk] Lange_666:
Installed the module in Magisk (double checked if it's activated), unfortunaly no joy...:(

Confession: Far far away in my brain there is a small spark that says that's is't some sort of setting somewhere and that i had the same problem once in the past (long ago) but since my brain is getting rather old and that spark would refuce to become firework...yet.

I did make a small Tasker task to update the Power Toggles bar on changing NFC status. So i can already check on the PT bar in what status NFC is in even if i changed it through regular settings.
[Magisk] Lange_666:
Found also this:

Note: starting with android 4.2, system access is no longer required for any functionality. Root should be enough.

If your device is rooted you could install the Power Toggles app as a system app. You can use apps like Titanium backup or /sys/app mover or any similar app for this purpose.

Installing the app as system app, enables protected functionalities like one-click GPS/NFC toggle or Airplane mode toggle.

Wondering if it could help i tried to installing Power Toggles as system app. However, this didn't work. First i used /sys/app mover but this came also up with error: could no remount/system.

Then i tried Titanium Backup but this kept on going in a loop. After stopping TB after +/- half an hour and a reboot the Power Toggles shortcut was gone but that was it. Retried a second a time and this time TB worked itself through the process quickly but Power Toggles wasn't moved and was not a system app. To be continued...
