So I've been using this all day. Many issues I had with TouchWiz are fixed (including the echo on calls) but I'm noticing much faster battery drain when screen is on than on stock. Phone has sat in standby for 3 hours and lost 1%, which is fine, but I've had the screen on just browsing the web for 15 minutes and I've lost 8%.

Any thoughts on optimising? Brightness minimum, location and scanning off, BT off, gestures all turned off, ambient display off, everything I can think off that I don't need is turned off.

V12.1, i9505 latest BL and modem, clean install using aroma. All i used there was change boot, remove stock email and media player, added ad-away, vanced YouTube and magisk (which was subsequently updated).

Can't sustain this level of drain. I have a 3rd party (Powerbear) 6600mah battery i bought a year ago, it's got a 2 year warranty so really need to know if it's the battery or not. Screen-on drain was much better in stock (although standby was awful compared to this rom!)

In other news... ROM works a dream. It's faster than stock. I can't use my banking app although I expected that, magisk hide doesn't fix it. Facebook lite doesn't work properly however, I get a big blue bar at the bottom of the screen. Text is smaller on FB too.

Any thoughts on the battery drain? If needed I'll sideload aroma later and add better battery stats but I did do that then changed my mind as I guessed it'd add to the drain.

Thanks in advance for your help.

PS yes I did mean sideload, I unfortunately don't have an external SD card at the moment.

Could you please show us your usage i.e. with batterystats? It's just for diagnostics, you can remove it afterwards.

did you restore or install any 3rd party apps? You've mentioned facebook lite... seems like it doesn't work like expected <- could result in unnecessary high battery drain.

If screen on is causing your high battery consumption, you could try apps like pixel filter or pixeloff (amoled), but i think it's not caused by screen on. Sounds like a background app is draining battery, while your screen is on.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] darkglobe87:
Thanks for your reply. I opted to go with Optimized 14.1 in the end. The drain is slightly better and I don't get the weird scrolling lags. Bit pressed for time at the mo as my s4 is my daily driver so can't afford to be without it while I fiddle with swapping ROMs. Thanks though, if I do decide to try this again I will add batterystats and provide logs.

Incidentally I did uninstall Facebook Lite and hadn't restored any 3rd party apps.

5Ghz tethering ? ...

Has anyone gotten tethering to work on 5Ghz?

(For me, with 5Ghz selected, the hotspot refuses to turn on.)

I've brought my old S4 out of retirement to use as a hotspot.

The ROM is fabulous & I do get 5Ghz WIFI.

Even though the potential performance is limited is by the chipset, I hope to be able to roughly double my tethered download speed.

Is this a bug?

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franticfreddy:
It is disabled by default in the source code build.

You can read about it here.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DejaVuAgain:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I see that it's flagged as disabled ...

<!-- Boolean indicating whether the wifi chipset has dual frequency band support -->

<bool translatable="false" name="config_wifi_dual_band_support">true</bool>

... but do you know why, since WIFI does work at 5Ghz?

Just curious ...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tu fui ego eris:
You might try the FDE.AI magisk module. I and at least one other person found it fixed our battery drain problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] darkglobe87:
Thanks for help. Trying this again. Was spectrum ever implemented?

High battery drain when using the phone. Idle is great. I have BBS now will let things settle down then post
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Trubbs:
Similar issues with high drain attributed to android by built in power monitor. Didn't dig any deeper but can confirm adding FDE.AI magisk module has dramatically reduced it.

Also see occasionally difficult to wake device. Anecdotaly both started around the same time about 6 days after install.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] darkglobe87:
Hmm odd. I've got mega fast drain while using. I've set spectrum to battery mode, and can confirm it has reduced my max CPU speed using a CPU stress test app, but since none of the settings within buffcore visibly change upon changing profile, I don't know what else it does.

I'm also noticing that Facebook lite renders text really small and with a big blue bar at the bottom of the screen, and normal Facebook and chrome are quite jerky when scrolling. Phone is perfectly capable on media-rich sites as it works much better in OptLos nougat.

Shame really. I really really want pie working on this phone but maybe it's just too new?

One other thing I feel I need to point out: I've been using Bluetooth constantly, with my phone paired with the car most of the day, yet I've not experienced any issues whatsoever. BT and WiFi both working perfectly. In fact, my WiFi is working better than on stock.

Going to try FDE AI. Although I wish I understood better exactly how it works.

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

I do wonder why Google play services is using my sensors for 50m... Accelerometer. No idea why!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] darkglobe87:
Can we manually update buffcore on this ROM or is that it now? I know this is the final version aside from security updates. I just feel my phone gets hot and battery dies fast during use. I've tried 5 other JCD Roms including Optlos 14.1 but this is by far the best to use and look at so gonna stick with it. Tried FDE.AI but not noticing any difference during use (yet). Also unsure if I should be using spectrum battery profile

Hello, did you ever (try) use BT not just in the car for headset, but also at home with music stream

to any a/v receiver music output?

Did you try sending files from/to another mobile device via bluetooth/nfc/wifi-direct? Is it all working?

I have strange problems with this. Besides this, the normal wifi internet surfing is working so far..

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] steini81:
He didn't ask if your LCD is working. He asked if it was replaced at any time. Replacement LCDs are causing problems with some Pie ROMs.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nicochoco:
agree sorry surely a bad translation of google I translate to French. yes I already changed the screen, so I can not have android 9?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] steini81:
To be honest I don't know if there is a workaround. But there are some other JDC Pie ROMs you can try and all of them are awesome. Flash them and see if one of them is booting properly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nicochoco:
it's true ? other than lineage? because I tried all versions 16 proposed for i9095
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] InTheY2K:
There is some difference in the kernels between Pie and downward versions. I have a replacement LCD, too, and did not get any Pie ROM to boot. The Android 10 preview didn't boot either.

[MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] said that the hardware of the screen is not recognised, and therefore the kernel cancels the boot process.

There's nothing to be done about it. I am stuck with the last Oreo build of the kanged development branch. That's the latest, which apparently does not care about the screen.

Mixed GT-I9505 and GT-I9515 device!

Hello guys! Can anybody support me with this enigma?

I had a GT-I9505 device with Optimized LOS 16 v12.1 (amazing rom) and (long story short) I've had to replace the motherboard. I've got a GT-I9515 (S4 Value Edition: jfvelte) spare motherboard, so I've assembled it and everything is working fine. This pushed me back to stock rom Lollipop 5.0.1.

So currently my device has 9515's motherboard and 9505's touchscreen...

Here is my concern: which LineageOS I'd better to install? For which model, 9515 or 9505? :confused:

LOS for 9505 installed on 9515 has touchscreen issues, but my device has 9505 touchscreen (!)

Any idea?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jorimafia:
I'm using 9515 body - screen, camera's, speakers and so on with 9505 motherboard. No issues at all - screen works great. I don't think that the issue is in the screen - motherboard's are slightly different :rolleyes:

Lineage 16 v. 10, i9505

Hello,

great work from development Team and all included.

So I can use I9505 for years now.

You do a great job, not enough honured I think.

My question:

I use I505 and Version 10.

Is it possible to connect a screen to the phone?

Mhl-Adapting?

Or other option to connect a monitor, VGA, dvi vor HDMI?

Want to use keyboard and mouse, very good would be a bigger screen.

Thanks.

[MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION], I've just started using go version 3 and I think it's fantastic.

I do have one fair sized issue, moving or deleting files with my 3rd party file manager (x-plore) brings up a toast with every single action, so the toast can flash on and off hundreds of times depending on the folders contents ''no activity found to handle this intent'' (see attachment). copying files to a new location works, deleting the originals always fails. I tried a quick google and people over at stack exchange are talking about manifests. help

log taken while the deletion process was running... it's still running now

edit: the supplied Go Files app can't see the folder or files I want (2 x TWRP backups)

trying to view external memory / portable storage from settings/storage causes the settings app to crash.

2nd edit: deleting files via the root directory, /storage/xxxx-xxxx/ works just fine as it should.

3rd edit: maybe it's all 3rd party apps that can't write to removable storage, I notice Opera for Android can't save files to the folder it's set to, it reverts to internal memory.

You've asked the wrong one, side always recommends to do a clean flash. And he has good reasons for this advise, especially as developer not wanting error reports which result from a dirty flash ;)

But if you want to dirty flash the latest version (why not try v13 instead of 12.1), you'll find a link in OP to several flashing guides from [MENTION=6753279]Retrial[/MENTION] - there you'll find what you search for. And if you're reading these posts, you should hit the thanks button there :good:

I find more stable and lighter 8.1 but haven´t find not rom with gapps included and don´t know how to build a zip installer. Followed a tutorial I found here on XDA to make a zip from a recovery backup but I had no success..
