I tried out your Optimized LineageOS 16.0 v13 and see that it does work on my i9505G (Google Edition).

Since it worked, I thought about also installing the Open-Gapps ARM 9.0 PICO from 30.12.2019.

Sadly, my i9505G tells me, that there is insufficient space on the /system-partition:

Insufficient storage space available in
System partition. You may want to use a
smaller Open Gapps packge or consider
removing some apps using gapps-config.
See:'/sdcard/open_gapps_log.txt'
for complete details and information.

- Copying Log to /sdcard

- NO changes were made to your device

Installer will now exit...

Error code: 70

Sadly the open_gapps_log.txt is empty. Has somebody else such issue as well?

Version 13 issue : after few hours, switching Wifi on leads to unabillity to swith on/off bluetooth. Reboot necessary to be able to control bluetooth.

Also after leaving 2 days bluetooth on, connexion with Xiamo Band 3 is lost. Reboot necessary.

This doesn't apply to version 11 that allows switching wifi and bluetooth anytime. Anyhow bluetooth connection is not perfectly stable on version 11 but is reacoverable without reboot.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] benlm72:
It seems I have the same behaviour, in that case recover is automatic. For example with car audio, I see the disconnection on the car screen, and a few seconds later reconnection of my phone. I do nothing to recover BT.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chf01_92150a:
Most of time it works like that. But sometimes, bluetooth has to be switch off/on through toogle icon (or in parameter menu).

Configuration :

Samsung S4 GT-I9505 (jfltexx) with

Stock ROM Android 5.0.1 (PDA:I9505XXUHPK2 , CSC:I9505OXXHPL1)

updated with I9505XXUHQK1 COMBINED BOOTLOADER & MODEM

and then version 13 or version 11

Note: few banking application are not working even without root installed (e.g. La Banque Postale tested from v6 up to V7.11)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Does anyone on v13 use BT successfully? If so, did you have to do something special to get it working properly or did it work "out of the box"?

Bluetooth is a pain still on this Rom.

I have Samsung galaxy earpods in conjunction with wareable app and I have to spend a while sometimes trying to keep Bluetooth on. A reboot sorts this sometimes, sometimes it doesn't.

It's like BT just doesn't want to switch on/stay on once you disconnect. Once it's finally connected it will stay on and connected for hours, I've been listening to music for 6 hours none stop. I just disconnected BT by accident and now it won't reconnect. I'll have to reboot and try again.

I'm on latest build with matching modem etc.

I'm not complaining, you guys do an amazing job with all of this. Just putting my experience with BT and earpods, as some of you don't use BT.

It would be awesome if this bug could eventually be fixed. I know it's been going on for some time, must be frustrating for you developers!

Which file manager recommended to write to SD card?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 3mel:
I only ever use X-Plore as everything else looks poorly laid out in comparison. it's capable of being used with root if you're having write issues on a rom.

You can also use MiXplorer which in my personal opinion is one of the best File Managers out there.

Netflix issue

Has anybody else run into issues when trying to find netflix on play store using the ROM? I searched the forum and found one individual who previously had an issue before resolving it using V2? but I didn't really understand what they meant.

Also cant find the Revolut banking app in my play store either.

Appreciate any help. Thanks

I still have my old S4 running LineageOS 14.1. I see this is still being maintained... do you see is it worth updating to 16? The device seems really laggy compared to todays standarts - would it improve or opposite?

I've been having some problems with my device lately and considering this is the second time it's happened, I know it's more than a fluke.. Two of my apps have just completely stopped working, the stock email app and USAA (banking). Whenever I try to open an email, the app crashes instantly. Wiping the cache or removing then adding a new account both have no effect. USAA hangs on the splash screen for a couple seconds then crashes. I have made no changes to my device before this happened, it is completely random. This happened to me several months ago on this same ROM, and nothing I tried fixed it except for a complete wipe/reinstall, so I'd prefer if there was a more reliable way of fixing it.

I have an SGH-M919 (T-Mobile) and it is rooted with Magisk. If you need any more information or logs I'll post them.

EDIT: Fixed it, one of my Magisk modules (Bromite Systemless Webview) was causing the issue, disabled it and now everything's working again.

Bluetooth does not work in this release

I regret to say that bluetooth does not work in this release.

More precisely, it works for two days after a reboot and dies.

You can enable it only by rebooting the phone.

P.S. I have full clean install (wipe cache, dalvik, data, internal media, SD card).

Sorry, I don't know.

I used to use BT sometimes (handfree in the car), and BT worked fine.

Now BT works for about one day, sometimes 2-3 days and dies.

I can turn it on only by rebooting the phone.

P.S. Nevertheless, I do not plan to return to previous releases. Firstly, I spent a lot of time on a clean update to v13, and secondly, I want to receive security updates.

And in any case, thanks to side and team for new life for S4.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Stucko:
I did a clean install of Optimized LOS 16 v13.0 with the newest official TWRP + GAPPS pico + newst BL/Modem and the ROM is running great for me except for two bugs that occur. The first one is a blackscreen that freezes the device randomly in usage + the hardware buttons light up constantly then (it seems everything is running fine in the background, though), if the camera app is launched over doubletap of the powerbutton it can sometimes be unfrozen but mostly the only fix I can peform is to restart the phone - is that a known bug with a workaround or am I the only one experiencing it and therefore should post some logs? Maybe it is just a launcher issue.

The second bug occured with Optimized LOS 14 also, the SIM-card and the modem will mostly randomly not work anymore, it suddenly says something like "SIM card not inserted" and the only workaround is to reboot the device, going to airplane mode and back doesnt work. At first I thought the battery would be at fault because maybe the voltage is too weak when there is high power consumption but an original (from Samsung directly!) battery showed the same problem and now with LOS 16 and another replacement from a third party manufacturer (I heard "new" original Samsung batteries are mostly toast nowadays because they are lastly built years ago and laying on the shelf) the error still appers. Is that a known bug from LOS or is it more likely to be a hardware issue with my modem?

Thanks again for keeping the S4 alive, I hope I can keep mine alive as well.

I had similar to your second problem with my S4. The mobile was then unable to connect to gsm and CDMA. Worked fine only on WiFi. But the real problem finally was the motherboard. So I have found another s4 that actually works fine. Except for excessive battery drain.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Stucko:
Thanks for the feedback, maybe it has to do with a certain setting we made, I am using dark mode for example.

Hmm now I hope it's not the mainboard but the SIM/SD-card tray, it only costs about 5 € so I will try that first, luckily the repair is very simple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at8-YkeSJjI

Do you think the battery drain is hardware related and you can exclude the battery as the issue? Battery drain is also a problem with LOS 16 with my device but I thought it would be a setting I made or an app I installed. The S3 neo of my mother has a hardware defect where the full batteries drain in one hour with a stock factory reset device with no apps installed, seems that the old Samsungs do not age very well with their hardware.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] electronspin:
in the next days I will do a test with the two S4 I have now (one with the "broken" motherboard and the other with battery drain to exclude any hardware issue to the battery drain). I also have a new original battery just exercised and ready to verify the battery drain. I will inform you.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Norces:
Same thing for me.

But it seems that a good long time ago it worked perfectly on custom roms (including other roms than lineage) so perhaps this is the later android version issue with galaxy s4's?

It's quite annoying cuz i'd rather take something new/not from stock rom like built-in equalizer which is buggy than getting a broken bluetooth functionality. Bluetooth is an old tech and something which must work properly otherwise i'm kinda considering going back to stock just to have a good daily driver.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] urigg:
I'm running into an LineageOS bug with the 16v13 rom that crashes the phone and even may cause a boot loop. This happens when starting Mozilla's Firefox Preview (aka fenix) browser, and for me also when using the nextbike bike rental app.

Best info I could find on it is here: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/5663

Characteristic for both issues is that the instant reboot doesn't happen in flight mode.

The above bug report mentions a LineageOS fix that seems to work for some. Any chance to get this into our rom?

I am in 12.1. v13 got many issues than 12.1. but the other way Bluetooth issue still continues.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] electronspin:
BT was working fine on my gs4, but crashed always with GPS. I do not know why. Then I cleaned the cell and flashed official lineageos16 with microgapps and addonsu. Up to now BT and GPS are working fine together. Sometime BT disconnects but immediately after reconnects by itself. So I am now using the official lineageos16 that is quite similar to the optimised os16.v13. Just small things are left behind.

Anyway the battery drain still continue to be an issue. Even using a very new battery. More than 10 hours is now impossible. When I used lineageos14.1 the battery lasting for one day with the same cell usage and same apps. So I am thinking to come back to that. There is nothing really special in os16 except security patch.

No a problem with battery

1. No, it´s not a problem with battery, we have 2 samsung s4 and both have new original s4 battery, so it´s not the problem. Even, this problem happened with LineageOS 15, 16 and now with 17 version and we have bought since version 15, 3 new batteries for each of them. If you read other users posts, you'll know that it´s not a problem with the battery status and to have to replace it, as for example check this post, but there are tons at XDA and at Internet (just google it): https://xdaforums.com/nexus-10/help/solution-battery-issue-70-0-to-0-t3733709.

2. I asked because side said that was going to update monthly with patches and had past more thank 2 months since last update, so I was just asking if the roms was still maintained or updated

Really, I like when other users give and hand as I do too, but just for saying this.... it doesn't help. Both side and buff99 know that I'm super grateful person with their work and I do not need anyone to tell me what is right or what is not and just for asking. Anyway, thanks for your time and dedication.

Hi,

I use the last version of this rom with my i9505 s4.

Maybe since one month I've a strange issue with the GPS, it take a lot of time to get a fix, when I got it, I lost it very often. Sometime I got the fix, but not the speed... Waze shows me where I am but tells I drive at 0 km/h.

I checked with the GPS test app. When I launch the app, i see in general my phone find quickly between 4 and 8 satellite, on 20 (in general available), but no fix...

I try to reset the A-GPS data with the app... No success... I even try to put foil paper on the contact of GPS antenna after opening the phone but always the same inpredictable behaviour.

Does someone already experience the same issue?

Last thing I've in mind it's to do a clean reinstall..

Regards.

I have the same issue and GPS Locker does not help to solve.

Sometime GPS locks after 2 minutes and sometimes, in the same place and with the same clear sky does not lock at all and GPS locker continues to look for more than 4/5 good signals.

I tried also to reboot but did not help.

Also I added to gold little foils to better contact the GPS antenna but did not improve the signals, so the issue is not the antenna.

It took you until now to reply to a post I made in November, 2019? Must be a need to have your ego stroked or something.

1. My experience did not coincide with yours when I was using this ROM, and does not now even on vanilla LineageOS. I stand by my statement.

2. It doesn't matter how appreciative you may be, it's still bad form to ask a developer for an ETA of any kind. These people have lives outside of here, and we should all be respecting that. Clearly you needed a reminder of this. I will continue doing so as necessary.

PS.

build is now available at slack's team google drive(Whoever is joined to our slack, can download it now). i will upload it for xda release after some tests

about late updates...

i kinda apologise but let me explain:

the pie builds were supposed to be maintained by other dev-friend but he didnt... i had to buy a 2nd SSD in order to have both android10 and THIS rom on my computer.

seems like i will keep maintaining both roms for now but i dont know if i can do it on monthly basis. to be honest i have kinda lost my motivation on android roms so i need a break for a while, releasing roms when a big change must be released.
