Just some FYI

This ROM is now my personal daily.:good:

Some things I noticed.

1. The "Upper Shortcuts" are triggered by double-clicking on an item. In previous ROMs they were either long click or single click. Made me think they weren't working at first.:silly:

2. I am not sure that PIE actually worked, but it isn't a problem for me, as I use LMT Launcher. Which is PIE on steroids. I had to install the v2.9 Beta3, as the stable v2.8 doesnt appear to work that well on Oreo. The version is somewhere near the end of https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330150

3. I have installed Magisk v16.0 Stable (after running the un-su zip). Its working well.

4. After installing Magisk, installing the latest ViperFX APK v2.6.0.5 was no problem as it auto installed/created a magisk module to enable it. Don't forget to freeze or uninstall AudioFX

5. I like the Always On display, but keeping it on stops the phone from entering deep-sleep, and hence drains the battery. However, if you turn the phone face down, the always on turns off, and the phone goes to deep-sleep:good: best of both worlds.

6. I noted that in the Los15 thread many people had issues with mobile network connection. An FYI I have switched the network to "Global" during the start-up and I have personally had no issues with the network.:good:

7. I have installed Youtube Vanced https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/magisk-iytbp-youtube-vanced-t3712097 which enables the Oreo PIP and also dark youtube, as well as play in background :victory:

8. Taking these screen shots, I just noticed a hidden feature whereby the screenshots actually have a rational name of what you screenshot instead of just a date stamp.:laugh:

9. On a side, this ROM uses swap more than my previous Nougat ROM did. Haven't checked why, may just be a default config.

10. I personally use greenify, do not know if the ROM actually needs it.

That's all I can think of for now, HTH someone else.;)

PS: I am loving night mode and smart pixels, if only because I can.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] BarryViper:
Quoted you from another thread. For me, boot in about 10-15sec. No more bootloop but mobile data still gets disconnected after a reboot (randomly). Magisk and Viper installed without issues. Titanium (rooted version) acted weird when launched. At the bottom of screen, where it shows the number of app data elements, it won't go away until after 2-3sec I quit the app. I think rooting with Magisk causes that but LOS 15.1 has no issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
So it isn't just me with the fast boot? I am guessing by what you wrote, you went back to LOS. Have you got a boot time on that?

Which version of Magisk? to re-state the obvious, did you run un-su first? its a rooted ROM unlike LOS. Would be interesting to know if running Titanium with the built in root goes ok.

Which version of Viper?

I do not use Titanium backup. Although backup apps may save time, they will also bring in / introduce new issues; but that's the results, not so much the apps themselves. I know trying to restore the data for Waze has failed for me previously, and just because it looks fine to start, doesnt mean it is 100%. I did personally use one for my Phone calls/sms etc etc, and did restore the data of one or two apps :o ; I use "MyBackup ROOT" for apps, which is free, and another one for Call history/SMS. Might be worth getting a logcat of the titanium failure to possibly understand why.

I noticed that v2.8 of LMT failed, but the v2.9 Beta3 works perfectly, so I personally have seen where older version of apps themselves aren't 100%
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] BarryViper:
Yes, I went back to LOS. Boot time, from LOS logo to system, 8-10sec.

Magisk version 16.0, Viper 1.71 (2.5.0.5) through Magisk module.

I did not activate SU, so did not un-SU before installing Magisk.

I don't use Titanium for backups but just to freeze or uninstall system apps.

Every time I flash a rom, I set my device up as new and install the apps I wanted manually.

Regarding lost of mobile network, it's still there in random, at least for me.

As I have mentioned before, Viper is a must for me. So I reckoned I need to un-SU even it's not activated before installing Magisk and then Viper through Magisk module?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] aelfinn:
Could you explain that? a) Is it strictly necessary to remove the pre-installed root before flashing Magisk? b) What exactly would you need to do to remove the pre-installed root?

---------- Post added at 00:40 ---------- Previous post was at 00:08 ----------

Well, this ROM bloody flies! :cyclops:

One concern I have, though: Irrespective of governor, it would seem that all four cores are permanently switched on. Wouldn’t you expect that to be less than ideal for battery life? And would it be possible to include a hotplug solution like eg IntelliPlug?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] BarryViper:
Flashed the rom again, did the un-su thing to removed root and installed magisk, still the same with Titanium.

I'll stick with LOS unless RR's version got their menu button under configuration fixed. I left a post there but got no response.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
That looks like a Titanium Backup bug. I would pass the info onto titanium . They are using a custom Toast Message to look all fancy, that is clearly not disposing of itself well.

However, just in case. If you got a logcat, it would most likely show something. For example, there is possibly a crash/failure/error in trying to hide the custom toast, which is caught and recorded in the logcat, that would help resolve it. Even if it means sending it to the Titanium team.

I don't want to sound like I am pushing this ROM, I mean, RR has been my ROM of choice personally for a while, I only started with crDroid because RR didn't build formein the early days, but, is this Titanium thing (and the network issue from memory, is it also on los15.1?) the only issue you have with crDroid? Out of interest, although its probably too late now, maybe next time, when the toast gets stuck, go-to Settings/Apps and do a force close on Titanium to see if that removes the toast. Totally just out of interest and I am not suggesting it as a solution by any means.

hmmm I really need to get my other app out, it makes getting logcats very very easy. as well as killing & force-closing apps.

Maybe somehow bring it to their attention again, the guys seem pretty eager to resolve issues on that ROM, and it may of slipped through the cracks during the whole boot-loop issue. For example, here is a shout-out to [MENTION=9015163]eccko[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6459107]darkness[/MENTION] on this one ;).
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] BarryViper:
No issue on LOS with network nor Titanium. It's rock solid with excellent battery life that's the main reasons I use that as my daily.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
The Network should be pretty similar between the ROMs, however, I do think this crDroid is much heavier on my battery than my previous Nougat ROM (I have not tried LOS 15.1). The thing that is a little confusing is that the phone sits in deep-sleep most of the time, but still goes down faster than my previous ROM. Previously in 14.1 RR, if I left it for a while from boot it would estimate 5 days. Now the longest estimate I have seen from memory is about 2 days if that :mad: Maybe I still have more to configure / find what is "nibbling" on the battery while its in deep-sleep.:confused:

As for the custom toast, I actually just saw another app which had a bad toast stick around, that did the same on Nougat. It appears to happen in the other app when it posts many toast messages in quick succession.:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
FYI: GPS is pretty dang good!

Just to let people know, I have created a GPS. conf file for this ROM that is kind-of international. Normally I would change the GPS.conf file first thing after flashing, to be specific for my region, and see benefits.

However, the config I have used in this ROM is actually performing better than when I change it to be Australian specific :cool: . I am getting a very fast lock :victory: , seeing more satellites than I can remember seeing before (most likely firmware / ROM), and the lock is sticking.:good:

I'd be interested in hearing others experiences in trying this GPS file, and maybe if you are having a bad experience with another S4 ROM, you could give it a test "drive"....so to speak:p... and let me know how it goes for you.;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
Oh,almost forgot, the Wheatly CPU governor has caused me a couple of random reboots, so I would stay well clear from it, and I will probably remove from the next build.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] 3lambda:
Do you use bfq io sched by default or with custom gov ?

Is so change to another one and random reboot should be gone
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
I would not be so quick with that statement. "Should" is a strong word. I use Tripndroid IO scheduler, which is the same I have used on my previous ROM without a reb oot. When I was building this ROM I actually tried many many MANY other CPU governors. The ones that are present are actually the only ones that did not trigger a random reboot immediately in selecting them; with BFQ IO. Yes an IO scheduler can trigger a reboot, but the fact that it does not do so with a number of others (ie CPU Govs), and because of my experience I had with the other CPU governors that rebooted immediately (or a few seconds later and were thus excluded from this build) I am pretty certain its the CPU gov. Happy to be proven wrong, but I don't think that will be the case.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] 3lambda:
It was a suggestion :) (also I'm french so my use of word are sometimes "simple")

Indeed cpu gov can have reboot issue too, hope you'll find a good one for daily use

My personnal fav was zzmove with enabled inbuilt hotplug (a bit hard to setup but when done it is a really awsome one)

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
Another couple of FYI's

As I said before, I am now using this ROM as my daily. Things I have noticed:

1. Substratum works out-of-the-box. There is no need to purchase/install Andromeda

2. I had an issue downloading / installing google calendar (I use pico GApps). However, I simply restored the APK from a pre-flash app backup (MyBackup Root) I had created, and not only did it install and now works, it also accepted an update from the PlayStore, which occurred after the time of my backup.

3. I have set the WiFi policy to WIFI_SLEEP_POLICY_NEVER_WHILE_PLUGGED (2) which I would of expected to disconnect from WiFi when unplugged and asleep. However, as soon as I wake my phone, WiFi shows as being connected. On my previous Nougat ROM, there was a delay where for a sub-second the WiFi was not connected.

4. I am running Magisk 17.0

5. I installed ResurrectionRemix (my fav ROM on 3 previous devices) onto another device (Nexus 5) I have, and was surprised to see that this crDroid ROM (and the one I tried for the Nexus 5) appears to have more customisations available than RR:eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] aelfinn:
How would I get an ext4-formatted external SD card to work in this ROM? When I insert the card, the system tells me the “card is corrupt”, which it manifestly isn’t, since it’s brand new and I formatted it to ext4 on a Linux machine that can definitely read and write to/from that card.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
I currently have a 64gb sandisk card, formatted as f2fs, and have had no issues. The only complaint I could muster is that often when I re-flash a test ROM, the card will be checked on boot-up, but comes up fine after a few minutes ie its simply a delay as the card is checked/verified on first boot.

I would suggest to reformat the card in TWRP not in Linux. Not sure how TWRP handles partitions/partitioning :confused:

Historically, with my SDCards, I have trashed a couple (luckily my card has a lifetime warranty :good:), as the SDCard needed an un-formatted / un-partitioned section at the start/beginning of the card (I cant remember how big, but 128mb seems ok off the top of my head, but maybe it was as small as 4mb:confused: its been a while since I partitioned the card); otherwise the card died.

And remember, if you trash your card, its not my fault.;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
New build!

New build, but read below.

A strange thing I noticed, on the very first reboot, it seemed to stick in the bootanimation. i simply did a force reboot (vol-up + vol-down + poser + home) and it has booted fine ever since, even after a wipe of dalvik/cache.

crDroid appear to have been focusing on Pie (don't ask for it from me!). They haven't even applied the latest security patch to their Oreo branch

This is my current daily. I dirty flashed over my previous build.

Anyway, enjoy, and see OP for download link

change log: https://www.hastebin.com/fezomocake.coffeescript

-----EDIT----------

Huh? is it just me or is hastebin deleting stuff? Anyway, I have attached the change-log as a zip. Its also visible from within the ROM, if you chose to flash it, but it is 90 days as opposed to the regular 7 or so, so its big.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
New build!

New build! v4.6.1

This build uses the latest [MENTION=4861355]kyasu[/MENTION] sources, which have revereted to the previous modem/bootloader.

USES THE OLD BOOTLOADER AND MODEM I9506XXSDPL2_I9506XXUDOJ2_bootmodem.tar

THEY MUST BE FLASHED BEFORE USING THE ROM.

get them from the LOS 15.1 thread

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] aelfinn:
Does this mean the older BL/modem have to be flashed even before doing a dirty flash?

And do you have any information on why the older BL/modem have been reverted to?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
No. But until you flash the old combination, some things may not work. Most likely no mobile reception for example.

Just to be clear, the ROM can be flashed before you flash the boot/modem

No. I asked the same question on the LOS 15.1 thread with a specific mention so as to grab his attention; but I got no specific response. https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77632986&postcount=867

Although it may of been lost in the multiple items in the post.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] aelfinn:
Okey-doke, thanks. Oh, is it imperative I flash all the files in the .tar archive, or would for example NON-HLOS.bin, modem.bin, and aboot.mbn suffice?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
I would not be selective flashing any file that has been tested by many users. Why would you want to, and therefore why even ask.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] aelfinn:
Because, as I have said, I’m using heimdall. And with heimdall, as far as I am aware, you can’t just flash the whole .tar file but have to give the name of each partition you want to flash a file to plus the corresponding file name. So it’s a bit involved.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] gebaya:
Here's the command line to flash the whole modem:

heimdall flash --APNHLOS NON-HLOS.bin --MODEM modem.bin --SBL1 sbl1.mbn --DBI sdi.mbn --ABOOT aboot.mbn --RPM rpm.mbn --TZ tz.mbn
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] aelfinn:
Thanks, but that wasn’t really the problem. I was only asking whether it was necessary to flash all those files. (Which is to say I don’t know what tz, sdi, etc. are actually for.)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] rojartem:
Can't flash modem, but last build works fine without it. All signal networks foundet after rebuting. over the previous one with catch clean.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] BarryViper:
Tz is an old format of tar and sdi etc are link to the bootloader.

For whatever reason if you just want to flash only the modem, modem.bin is the one you're looking for.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] gebaya:
I think modem.bin is the 2/3G modem and NON-HLOS.bin is the LTE modem and both are needed, but I may be wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] BarryViper:
Indeed, you are not wrong. My bad, missed out on that. Thanks :cool:

When will 4.7 be released?

make an update, please add a keyboard from the galaxy s6 and the processor limit from overheating and to save charge

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

why all touchwiz not overheat? And at all the lineageos processor is terribly overheated ??
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
From the lineageOS Thread...

Sorry, but its most likely not going to happen for a number of reasons.

i) compiling a Pie ROM instead of an Oreo ROM is almost like starting from scratch.

ii) I am now using a personal build of Oreo Havoc-OS. This ROM has many features of Pie built into the ROM (so little reason for me personally to upgrade to pie) as well as many more other features over crDroid. Remember, I basically build for my personal use, and then share.

iii) Although it will eventually change, all Pie ROMs I have seen built by others up to now, are not daily use candidates in my Opinion. ie there is plenty more work to do, and I tend to take advantage of others hard work ;)

------------------------------------

Read above.

This request is specific to YOU, not others. For example, I use GBoard over the inbuilt keyboard.. If you want it, you could do it yourself, as it is specific to you.

YOU have the abiloity to change the max frequency and the ROM has multiple choices for Governors, so there is even more flexibility for you to modify / customise it. As for "saving" these changes, thats what a boot script is used for. ie its up to you. Also, some apps will auto restore your settings on boot.

Do not forget, this is a development thread, not a user support thread.

The reason you chose crDroid is probably because it has many more features over the stock touchwiz ROM. These features mean the CPU has more to do, and hence it will run hotter. Also, you are comparing a ROM from a billion dollar provider (ie Samsung) against a custom ROM basically being supported by donations. NB: I am talking about the crDroid and LineageOS team, as I do not ask for any donations.

Also, regarding your heat issue, I will guess it is when using an app that is not a part of the built in apps. ie you may need to look into the third party app more and possibly find an alternative.

now after availability of stock fastboot files i just flashed and locked my bootloader and i intend to keep it that way.

problem is after flashing new image through mi flash tool and locking bootloader i started from scratch without restore option.

i installed BHIM app, and that app still says my device is rooted

i dont know what is problem but my guess is that old rooted oreo build is still there.

so how do i find that which partition is active and how do i proceed that everything is formatted and i dont have to deal with that error again.

Looking at

Which one(s) are for the US model and would work with it, I dont know the difference between each of the build numbers, nor do I know which would be for the various models

This bring me to another question,

If all the various global variants, aka US, GB, EU, etc were running the july security patch, for example we will say its model number is 52, where the latest January one that some got is 65.

Would all have the exact same build numbers regardless of which model of the G5S plus it is, or are some build designed for specific global variants?
