do you have telegram ?, its easier for both i guess :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] eccko:
I do not want to run this topic on the telegram because if we fix your mistake, and in a few days it may happen to someone else, it will know how to fix it. From this title, every problem regarding this or another rom is usually solved in the topic itself and not by communicating with external applications, because it can be useful to someone else in future.

I hope you understand. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Juanchito16:
I understand it, so i moved to the lineage build, wich had same problem i solved it by flashing the recommended bootloader and modem mentioned in that forum wich lead to the phone working properly except for a major problem, a black screen that showed up in the moment i made a call, is this an already known issue ? after reboot phone no longer recognice the SIM (of course it works in the crappy sammy experience) :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] eccko:
How you flash this bootloader and modem on odin? In AP or BL ?

Also try do FULL WIPE, flash ROM, gapps and root if you want. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Juanchito16:
I use the BL slot for it, and full wipes and so i have done them, going back to it, is a black screen when calling normal ? if so why is not listed at the beggining ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] eccko:
Ty to reflash STOCK, and flash recommended bootloader and modem via odin to slot AP. Each time I flash it in the AP slot and have no major problems. ;)

Hello, i am right now in a strange situation with mu i9506. I am on latest lollipop. Installed latest TWRP. I am trying to flash this, and every other rom based on LOS, CyanogenMod, etc, but after flashing and rebooting, my Bootscreen (Samsung S4 white font) just loops ... Tried everything but nothing... Little help for bootlooped brain of mine .
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
you flash in the AP slot. Its covered in other threads, use search, there should be no reason to bloat this thread up.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] eccko:
Go to TWRP and wipe Dalvik cache, enjoy Pixel. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] yobee01:

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] nhihoppro:
bootloader and modem work for E330L ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] eccko:
Good question. I don't know, just try. But I don't think so. :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DJ_Uro_UE:
Again the same thing... I will try back to lollipop stock and again everything from the beginning.

PixelExperience_ks01ltexx-8.1.0-20180825-1627-OFFICIAL.zip

New build is available (in OP link too)

Fixed bootloop issue.

Sync with latest PixelExpierence source and device sources.

BIG Thanks for [MENTION=5417899]DiamondJohn[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4861355]kyasu[/MENTION]

I will add that I am waiting to accept from the PixelExpierence team to add Galaxy S4 to the official devices with my compilations.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
ummm... Im pretty sure you could flip the order around ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] eccko:
No, no, the order seems appropriate. First for you [MENTION=5417899]DiamondJohn[/MENTION] for fixing a very important error! And later for [MENTION=4861355]kyasu[/MENTION] for the best sources for our S4! :):)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] eccko:
Hello, are you sure that you have flashed bootmodem from kyasu? :confused:

I'm using this ROM daily and I reboot my phone now 3/4 times 5 minutes ago and I don't have that issues.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] yobee01:
Modem: I9506XXUDRB1_I9506XXUDRA1_bootmodem.tar ??? yes i flash it... ;(
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] eccko:
Which slot did you use?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] yobee01:
Odin v3.10.7 ===> AP is ok?or BL
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] eccko:
I used the latest version of ODIN. I downloaded from here - https://odindownload.com/SamsungOdin/#.W4KsB8MVSUk

Also I choose AP slot, NOT BL. And don't forget to uncheck Factory Reset and AutoReboot. If flashing was done, turn off your phone. Next remove your battery or press power button for a few seconds.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Ins3rt:
I have a little problem, I can't wake my phone with Home button. Can I somehow enable this option?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] eccko:
in Pixel Experience there is no option to wake up with home button. I try to include this in next build. :)

i'm new and this first time to do that can u tell me how :confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] mmxw11:
I've been using this ROM for a week now. I haven't had any problems except video recording doesn't work with the included camera app.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] eccko:
At once you have to try using another camera, for example - footej camera.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] eccko:
Hello, you have to flash TWRP via ODIN. Second step is flash recommend latest bootmodem from kyasu thread HERE and last boot to TWRP and

flash your favorite ROM

. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
Or even better, getting a logcat so as to help with a possible fix of any issues in the source.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] mmxw11:
Footej camera seems to be working fine.

Here's a log of what happens just after I press the record button.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] eccko:
I do not know how to rate it [MENTION=5417899]DiamondJohn[/MENTION] but in my opinion it is possible that there are some references to the camera that actually does not work.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
I do not understand what you expect from me? If you can not debug it, maybe just pull a camera from another ROM, and see if that one works. AOSP to avoid Lineage SDK dependencies, maybe Omni ROM. 3 lines added to local manifest, and one code line change; if the camera works.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] ave20:
I have the ROM from here: https://download.pixelexperience.org/ks01ltexx/

And bootloader from here: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9506-develop/rom-lineageos-15-1-unofficial-galaxy-s4-t3747831

But I was using this 15.1 ROMand it's...not usable at all. The network connection is the worst I've seen so far. Is that a problem by bootloader or the ROM iteself?

You are telling me to flash that bootloader, but I already have it and so far there are tons of missing network connections.

BTW, I can flash this ROM without any issues with TWRP?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] eccko:
I'm using this ROM and I don't hany ANY problems with connection.

Yes you can flash with TWRP, you have to flash with TWRP.

AOSP EXTENDED 8.1.0, Best ROM in Nougat and Oreo :) Is it possible to run it on Jfltexx? Please. :cowboy:
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] ave20:
1. The hardware navigation buttons backligh doesn't work, and if You check the settings and turn on system navigation buttons, You won't be able to turn them off :D They will always be there, unless You install the ROM again, lol. So better don't try them...

2. There are no settings to change the actions for hardware navigation buttons and home button (S4 hardware buttons). I used to change the actions so buttons behave similar way like on Andorid 4.4 :D Here, You won't be able to change single action for them. Only power button and volume up and down.

3. "Dark mode" for sms / messages app doesn't work at all - the screen is always white. It will literally burn Your eyes.

4. There is no way to move, hide or disable the google search bar on main screen. I <3 Google for that one.

5. Same like on LOS 14.1, 15.1 there is a huuuge delay after You press the power button to unlock Your screen - around 2-3 sec :D

6. Cam / Vid app has this weird black frames around the screen - no matter which cam quality setting You will choose. It looks like small cam screen floating in dark space :D Autofocus is crazy - doesn't catch the focus or stays locked at on point unless You run the app again. I didn't find out why. Seems random. Some options - from option bar are missing - there are just empty spaces between the icons (only two icons are there - camera style (sepia, monochrome, etc) and switch between front and back cam) :D

EDIT:

Also, there is no music player, voice recorder or global equalizer. But I guess everyone can download his own app's to cover this.

I was happy to test that one - same like unofficial LOS 14.1 and 15.1, but custom ROM's are far away from calling them stable and bug-free. They are just playground for young developers - which is good, but sadly, custom ROM's are unusable if You are searching for a proper code which can be used on a daily bases. Ofc, You can still use this ROM, just like unofficial LOS 15.1, but You need to get used to these bugs which probably won't be fixed. You may ask why? Because these unofficial ROM's are trying to be delivered for all android devices, and every android device has different hardware, so for that reason, our S4 hardware navi buttons didn't get any support / settings or backlight options....Same goes with cam / vid app - some options are missing, but only unified options which can be use on every android device are there.

The only "semi-usable" custom ROM I've tested was the LOS 13.1 - discontinued at this point. Feel free to test it out tho. Imho, the best custom ROM for i9506-LTE so far.

After all, I much rather recommend this ROM that LOS 15.1 for i9506-LTE :) On this one, at least there is no problem with losing network connection, gps location issues and disabling WiFi connection on locked screen after some time.

So thank You for all this work. I would love to check this one again, after few months.

Good luck with this project.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] blindchicken:
Will this work on S4 active (i9295) too?

If not, what needs to be done to get it to work?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] ave20:
Thats really awesome work and support. Non of previous custom ROM I've tested was updated with such frequency. Thats really new quality for custom ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] f0r0c0m1c:
Thank you for this ROM, Eccko. I have used Lineage 14.1 and 15.1 by Kyasu for a time but the GPS didn't work on Spain (ORANGE) and the battery was dying very soon (with donate Grennify, donate Amplify, etc).

This ROM GPS system works properly (using Google Maps) and I can travel without issues. Kyasu LA 15.1 detected to me but I could not travel because the mobile says all the time "waiting for GPS", impossible!! (I tried several modems (DOJ2, DOJ3, DRA1, bootloaders, etc)

DATA:

My mobile is a Samsung S4 i9506

Pixel Experience ROM 09/13/2018

Baseband I9506XXUDRA1

The battery life is better than the others ROMS too. It could be better but with other Roms, my mobile was dead in a few hours (with Greenify, amplify) and with this ROM, I can have a mobile almost all one day.

I had the Stock Rom 5.0.1 installed and I installed this ROM from Recovery (wiping the System data, etc etc).....but Sim Card didn't work. I installed the modem DRA1 from Kyasu Lineage 15.1 site for this mobile from TWRP 3.2.3 (only the modem files: NON-HLOS.bin and MODEM.bin in a tar file (you can do that with any compressor utility like 7zip or Peazip and remove the bootloader files), bootloader is untouched) and now my mobile works like a charm! No FC, no resets, GPS ok, battery ok, SIM Card ok, etc)

The only issue I see is with the Bluetooth. The Bluetooth didn't want to be activated. I was listening to music with headsets without problems and I stop the music and I did others actions and the issue appeared and I had to reset the mobile.

But it happened to me only in one single case. I'll continue investigating and I'll describe the exact behavior.

PD: Thank you Eccko for this ROM and sorry for my English.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] eccko:
Your English is good, do not worry about it. Also Thank you for opinion. ;)

According to Bluetooth ... it's very weird because everyday I use wireless headphones from motorola and to be honest I use them every day for a few hours and I have no problems. What kind of headphones do you have? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] f0r0c0m1c:
Hi Eccko.

I have the Taotronics TT-BH07 headphones. But, I don't have any issues with them and my Sony Xperia Z1 (5.1.1 Stock Rom), my Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 (Stock Rom) or this mobile with Lineage 15.1 from Kyasu (when I had this ROM installed).

It happened to me only in one single case and when it happens to me again (if it occurs), I'll describe the exact behavior here. For now, 10 points to this ROM ( for now, ;) )

Thanks

Hi eccko.

I have tried to install the apps deleting the lineage camera data before the installation, but I can install the ARCore apk only; the Google Camera app and the AR Stickers apk display an error.

I don't know if I am doing something wrong.

need help, i just enable dark mode on sms messeges and the screen start to flash....and the app is not responding,how to turn back without factory reset or flash the rom again.....can anyone help me????
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] eccko:
Just go to settings and change mode from dark to default.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] pljs:
I can't go to app settings, when I open the app screen is white and flashing fast, nothing open in the app... the three dots for setting they don't appear so I can go and change the mode....some fix....please
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] ave20:
About the SMS app:

1. Even if You change the settings from default to "dark mode" it will do NOTHING and nothing at all. You will still have white bg and in fact, not a single layout color will change.

So it is pointless to change this setting.

2. After around 2 months of using that ROM, the SMS app just...stoped to work. When I pressed the icon, whole screen went to black and after that started to blink really fast between my wallpaper and black screen.

Only closing the app from working in the backgorund stoped this madness. But app simply stoped to work and You have to go to phone settings, force close it, disabled and enable it once again.

If it happen again, repeat this process or simply remove that lame app, and install something else, because nothing in this app work like it should.

And there is something more importand in that ROM that should be fixed asap:

- WiFi is disconnecting while in lock-screen which cause using network bandwidth but thats not a big problem. Imagine tho, that You are downloading big file, which can be downloaded "Only with WiFi, so there won't be any additional costs".

Well, once You start the download process and Your screen goes black / locked after some time, in few moments the downloading process will stop. Why? Well, Your phone will disconnect from WiFi (by some stupid reasons) and because You

have the setting to "Download only with WiFi", download process wont be continued with LTE, and this way, You need to keep Your screen waked up through the download process.

How stupid is that?

Beside that, when You have Your WiFi enabled and Your phone is actually connected, after You lock Your screen and leve the phone for few moments, You can see there is no WiFi icon

on the top notification task bar, the phone is using the network bandwitdh and in few secons, the WiFi icon is back on, because phone reconnected to the WiFi.

This bug is old as hell.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] eccko:
I can not say anything except that it is a CUSTOM ROM and not a firmware created by a few or nineteen Samsung programmers. I create it myself and unfortunately there are errors that are. I do it purely as a hobby. I can only add from myself that I will try to fix these errors in the next update.

Abstraction from the subject, the Pixel Expierence update will appear as soon as the source itself is updated to the latest version of security (October 2018)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
SMS is an app, ie its not part of the system and as such, I would not expect it to be themed by the system themeing built into the ROM, and I do not have it on my current ROM. This ROM has substratum support, and if you wish to theme your SMS app, then install substratum and select/apply a theme. That is how it is suppose to work, not the way you have incorrectly assumed. That IS the point :rolleyes:

Because it happened after some time has passed, it is possible that is something you have done/installed/adjusted. Has anyone else experienced the exact same issue? Again, its an app, which can be replaced with something from the play store. And to help yourself, and possibly others, get a logcat.

I think you are being affected either by your WiFi sleep policy or Android Doze. Bioth are standard settings / operation modes of Android. Investigate and understand how to use your device before making sweeping statements.

:p

See above.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] ave20:
1. I'm not the only one who reported the problem with disconnecting WiFi. So, no, it's not my "WiFi sleep policy" (lol) or "Android Doze" (lol2). Also, none of my other devices using WiFi disconnect from it on lock screen.

Beside that, I was testing several ROM's, and only LOS 13.1 was free of that bug (ofc beside official ROM's). So this isn't my WiFi settings issue and I wouldn't be the only one who reported that in that case, right?

Also, I've reported it few pages before, and it suppouse to be fixed with latest release, but it didn't, so...This is an issue.

2. The black / flickering screen with SMS app, isn't only my issue - see the report of SMS app on this previous page (end of page 8) :) Another person had this issue (while reporting the "black theme" - which doesn't work at all and I was informing that person about that issue as well) :)

I know this IS and app and it's not a part of the development. I was reporting the fact this app has a problem and how ppl can solve it by disabling and re enabling the app in Application panel OR simply by changing the app for SMS. Thats all.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DiamondJohn:
If others have flashed the exact same ROM, and have the same issue, then that actually points to the fact they are running the same settings for Wifi sleep policy and for Doze.:eek: So no, you are possibly wrong, but I would not say definitely without investigating. If you do a search you can find how to check these settings.

I am not saying that that its definitely the cause, but without checking either, you dont know. Android is a choose your own adventure in that you have the power to configure so so much. I am running a different ROM, but by modifying my doze settings, I went from 5%/hr to 0.7%. Investigate, or maybe stock would be a better choice for you. Especially when concerning such an early early build of Pixel. At the very least you could help not only yourself, but others by supplying logs. Just saying its "broken" isn't that big a help to resolve the issue.

As for "it suppose to be fixed with latest release", its clear you have no understanding of the fix process on custom ROMs, and the number of people involved (ie not just the builder of this specific ROM), and you are also coming across a little ungrateful; when someone has built and shared this ROM.:rolleyes:
