Well just done a nice clean install and it took a bit longer than normal to get the phone back up and running as i first tried with opengapps pico and just kept getting crashes so reflashed from the start using nano and it worked but deffinatley took a good 6 mins before it got to the running android setup once initial boot was done. After all was done there i rebooted and lost wifi, for some reason it would switch on but then switch off a couple of seconds later, fixed with another reboot. Apart from that all seems to be working fine so will have a play for the next few days and see how it all goes.

A big thanks to Side and everyone involved in keeping our S4 meaningfull .

[MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION], Hi, i want to report a problem it's the no SIM card.. i've been using this rooms since v3, never had this issue before... don't know why now it happens with v11 about tree days ago and now with v12

What the ** could it possibly be and why i see this only whit v11 and v12?

I always do clean install, wipe everything, im using gt-i9505

Side and Buff are gods if they manage to make Android 10 work on our old S4, since I see it on my Note 5 (Main phone and my S4 is just for testing newer Android Versions and how they work on such an old device), I have Android 10 on my Note 5 as Custom Rom, but I heard Android 10 requires the new "SAR" = "system as root" by default, I wonder how this will work out on the S4.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It shouldn't be an issue at all I would think. The Pixels (1 through 3a) predate Android 10 and the SAR requirement, yet all of them function perfectly with Android 10 and SAR. You mentioned your Note 5, which also predates SAR and it's working well isn't it? I don't see why an Android 10 ROM can't appear here.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
For your information, android 10 for s4 has already been built once. I want to release one minor update for this rom and I will focus on 10.

PS

S4 will get Android 10.i promised it. I will do it. Did I ever lie to Yall?

Hi just wondering, on this ROM where's the setting for connecting to an HDMI TV please via mhl cable please? I can't find it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ibiza690:
Hi [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION], some feedback. Rom its really nice and smooth if you don't do many things, if so it gets really slow and the worst problem its that we have a pair of S4 phones at home and both turn off when battery is between 35-30%. Then they wont turn on again if you dont charge the battery. When turning them back on battery says 0%, so between 35% and 0% doesnt inform well and leaks. Hopefully can find a solution in future updates. Thanks for all, again for our S4 is great to have Pie!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
That usually means it is time to buy a new battery. Thankfully, S4 batteries are super cheap!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ibiza690:
Cant be..

We bought batteries for both on March '19, S4 official ones. So dont think this could be....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Does the problem occur with another custom ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ibiza690:
Nope

Thanks! No, we where using #Bufff's Pixel Experience Pie since March and didnt face this problem, but we wanted to test #Side's one, as we follow both since a lot ago and past ROMS.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] GiRaFa-SAMA:
v12 is good as the last 7.1.2 rom i tried, i think im staying on this one, thank you side and buff.

Not working on SGH-m919 (Not installing). Optimized LineageOS14.1 good working.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lion_1:
Thank you very much for your efforts, seems to be a great ROM

I installed Version 12 (full wipe); but bluetooth is stopping all the time [stopped working dialog]! Is there a fix for it\

Thanks, Lion
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pocketrule:
Without knowing what's the exact problem, it's hard to assure there will be a fix for your problem. But bluetooth is a general problem, [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] is working on it. There will be an update soon.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lion_1:
Thanks pocketrule for your fast answer.

Just for explanation: After booting the phone, the "bluetooth has stopped" dialog pops up immediately, and if i confirm it, it pops again up in one second (and again and again...)

So it has nothing to do e.g. with pairing of devices.

But good to know that [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] is already working on it, i was just surprised, that the problems occurs directly after start, and makes the phone nearly impossible to use..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
Was it a clean or dirty install? You may get some benefit from resetting your network connections and re-pairing your devices if they were setup on a previous rom.

In our testing we don't (well haven't so far!) seen messages like this immediately after start, so could be the pair information is in a bad state.

And if you join our slack channel you can get access to the latest 12.1 beta version, which has much better BT.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lion_1:
It was a clean install.

I managed to turn off BT now, so it is ok for me atm. Bluetooth is not a must for me, as the S4 is not my primary phone.

I´m really surprised, how smooth the rom is running on this old hardware, really great work done by the team....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Try the 12.1 beta version.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gennodi:
Bluetooth crash to me too, also ui , i do a clean install. I think my phone is going to die
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Retrial:
Bluetooth have some fixes in v12.1 so if you can join slack and test the beta build.

UI shouldn't crash, you probably didn't made a proper clean install. Check and follow my Guide.

If you still have crashes with UI, please explain what are you doing during these crashes and take a log after the crash.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] BiMax:
Good job mates! Thanks to all the team.

I know the ROM is signed, isn't it?

What could happen if I try to dirty install over the v20190907-Version12?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] urbangianlu:
Sorry guys, does this release have updates via OTA?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
from signed to signed its ok. so yes you can dirty install
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pocketrule:
No. If that is important to you, you should try official Lineage OS
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] BiMax:
What are the main differences between Official Lineage OS and JDC OptLos? :confused:

I mean kernel, functionality, ...

Are them based on the same sources?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
From OP...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gennodi:
I correct, it's not a crash it freeze: sometime when power off the screen i have to drop the tile down completely then power screen off and on again to have response
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Retrial:
Have you ever replace your screen on S4?

Try the version 12.1, released yesterday and do proper installation, follow the steps on my guide. If you still have freezes take logs.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] BiMax:
Tnx Sjamie.

So it means that all the small problems adjusted with the huge optimization work done by Side & JDC company is not present on the official OS, isn't it?

I'm referring, for instance, to the WiFi and BT issues fixed (hope) by JDC.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Have you tried the new 12.1 optimized release?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Retrial:
You can find the differences at OP at FEATURES or 2 what sjamie said, 2 post above yours.

Both LineageOS and Optimized LOS are open source (check the OP for the source code - again). I think we passed the situation of kanging, by understanding who is who. Side just wanted to show the correct way.

However, he could still work on Official as open source and keep Optimized sources closed but Side is not that guy.

Anyways, no reason to dig deeper about the old situation...

focus on future...... ?Android 10 is coming...!!!?:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Stucko:
[MENTION=6753279]Retrial[/MENTION]: 10 seconds after I wrote my comment I read the latest posts and therefore deleted my comment, I am browsing the threads since the S4 came out but missed these posts, sorry.

That is great news regarding the FOSS kanging situation, are the improvements not in the official builds because the LOS rules forbid using other kernels and modifications that are too far off from the LOS code base? Are there any downsides other than not working OTA updates in comparison to Official LOS?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] BiMax:
Installed this morning, dirty install over OptLos-V12.

Now testing if dirty install may cause some problems.

So far some BT problems that I'm investigating, but removing old pairing and pairing again seems fine.

My question raised because I'm going to perform a CLEAN install and I have to decide which ROM to install (Official or Optimized?).

Official has the OTA functionality that is good for the monthly security patches.

On the other hand, I'm with OptLos since... I don't remember, and I do trust Side and what he is doing for us.

I love my S4 and I still use it as daily phone. A clean install requires a lot of time so.... it' a big deal the choice... :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Retrial:
No worries :p

Optimized LineageOS is based on Official LineageOS. Side did a lot of changes + improvements + modifications + include another Kernel(Buffcore) on OptLOS and most of these changes can't be implement to Official since as you already said Official LineageOS has some rules.

There is only advantages compared to Official LOS. No downsides. OTA it's not so important (at least for me)...big changes comes every month with new security patches etc and Side update his ROM every month, include everything, so it's better to flash every month (dirty flash working most of the times if you don't want to setup everything again - but recommended is clean install - you could also make backup apps etc so to avoid setup everything from the begging) than day per day nighties via OTA for no reason ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Retrial:
For some reason the default Wallpaper of 12.1 is cropped and if you set it again from launcher wallpapers it has bad quality.

You can grab the Wallpaper from HERE and set it as Wallpaper via Gallery or MiXplorer.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Android Adam:
Is there a way to modify the custom font
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
[MENTION=7035772]Stucko[/MENTION]

Both official and this rom are open source. I just used official sources as base, in order to add my custom edits without get "restricted" by the lineage rules.

on the other side, i am the official maintainer of official lineageOS for our S4 (jfltexx) . So no hate at all against official. Both official and this rom are made by the same guy* :P

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Retrial:
I see, just be sure you follow my guide. Even small things matters, like deleting Android folder from your SDcard etc. Don't miss any step.

As I said if you still have freezes, some app may causing this. Try to get logs with Syslog app.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] simonegalfano:
the bluetooth problem is still present, if you connect the earpiece, when you answer the call the voice is heard a few seconds later, disconnecting the earpiece, if you receive calls sometimes your caller hears nothing and you have to restart the phone. Even if you connect the earphone with cable there are problems, if you make calls the speaker will not work. Are these problems also with the official lineage?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mokz5:
do you have stock rom for s4 to be flash on twrp? thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
No we dont . I guess you have to manually search

To flash your S4 with TWRP you basically just need Odin and TWRP image file, but there are other methods.

[MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] Thanks side and team!:victory: Great work again!

In april I installed Optimized LineageOS 16.0 Version 7.0, it didnt run smooth at all on my phone, it felt acutally really laggy. I've been a little bit disappointed and I also thought: probably the phone reached his time now and can't handle the consumption of the current OSs anymore. So I put my good old S4 back in the cupboard, but my S4 has still been in my mind. At the time I was also thinking about going back to Android 4.4.4 (CM 11 [MENTION=1622467]grzwolf[/MENTION]) or even stock (GPE- Edition).

Few days ago I installed v12.1 of LineageOS 16.0. And this is amazing, again. I can't remember how smooth the stock was (I'm using customs on the S4 since I can think^^), but this one feels so smooth or even smoother , almost no delays and laggs. I didn't expect this is possible on this old phone. Great work! Well done!

I'm wondering if the Go Version needs even less ressources and so it's even smoother? Can anybody also recommend resource-saving apps for Browser, Youtube and Google maps? (for smooth experience :D)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] InTheY2K:
[MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] amazing... This project is still going strong. I have not followed it for quite a while...

With the new kernel, do you think I could give it another go with my LCD screen? Though OptLOS 15 is kinda running OK it still lags here and there, and the CPU gets hot sometimes.

Or is there no way this kernel will recognise the LCD?

Cheers

For YouTube I totally can recommend NewPipe (https://newpipe.schabi.org/)

For Browsing, maybe the lightning browser fulfills your needs (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=acr.browser.barebones)

For Google Maps, you can either use an alternative, or you can try the official GO version of it (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.mapslite, untested)

Even after very clean install, I have strange problem with bluetooth, If I put flight mode twice the bluetooth doesn't restore , need reboot phone. (I use automatic flight mode with auto airplane app)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] vip5912:
It's strange:

I updated my S4 (9505) from unsigned v11.0 to signed v12.1 with dirty install (just for test) and I see all my applications with settings and data.

I tested some apps and they are working very well.

Phone, WiFi and BT are working very well too.

I will test farther. If I will meet the problems then will do clean update :)

P.S. All apps are working very well :)

I have to say it's a great rom! I have two s4 and i tested all the versions... But why is no version sooo smooth like the version 8? The version 8 is so amazing fast... And with all the other versions i have small lags. So i always have to come back to V8.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] maxdido:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/general/s4-unified-guides-collection-t3966126

1. Make a full nandroid backup, just in case something goes wrong. You can use TWRP to do that. (TWRP-->Backup-->Select everything)
3. Remove Magisk root with Magisk Unistaller. (TWRP-->Flash the unistaller)
4. Reboot to TWRP and Wipe system, cache and art / dalvik.
5. Flash the ROM-->GApps(nano)-->AROMA (Magisk and . . .).
6. Reboot

If he formatted the system partition then he may be ok. In general, apps react badly to changed keys which is why a clean flash is required.

Note that dirty flashes will be possible with future builds as they will have the same private key.

EDIT: It works for now but a little bit laggy as on V11.

EDIT2: After second reboot Wifi doesnt work. Once again and it was back. Recorder APP not workig.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] vip5912:
Firstly, I do not urge anyone to use the procedure described above to update OS (dirty update from unsigned v11 to signed v12).

I just shared my experience.

I always thought that this is impossible and since a clean update requires a lot of time to install and configure applications, I just decided to try.

I can't use backup tool because I have many applications installed in the work profile (Island) but there are no backup tools for the work profile.

Since my first experience was successful, I will continue testing for several days and then decide if I should do a clean update.

In any case, many thanks to the developers for their impressive work, and naturally I will not ask help until I make a clean update.
