Hi guys.

Just to inform that I made several attempts and the one that worked was: Flash rom + flash GAPPS arm-9-mini. reboot et voilá! ;)

SuperSU already working... no magisk and no aroma installed... it works!!! go figure... Phone is faster and really smooth. no errors... Thx guys! maybe the stock gapps is with some kind of problem... I dont'n know... Mini works... :P

That is plain wrong. If the other party agrees before you start recording, it's perfectly legal.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gvamp:
Could anybody please have a look into BBS and give feedback if these msm_hsic_host kernel wakelock times are normal ?

4G on: ~13% of total measure time (screen on & off)

2G on: ~10%

WLAN + mobile data on: ~same times

WLAN only: ~3%

With "normal" usage the wakelocks result in ~80% deep sleep time, with WLAN only in ~90%.

I wonder if I can reduce these wl times or if the wakelock is indirectly app related. Could flashing an other modem maybe reduce the wakelocks ? And I wonder if any of the other ROMS (Pixel, Aosp, Liquid, Resurrection) could have better battery life time.

Many thanks again for this great rom and thank you for any response !

I don't even get why I should record a call anyway?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] dvhttn:
I'll give you a reason. A colleague of mine has just got stopped by the police (in the UK) as they said his car wasn't insured - and hadn't been for most of the last year. He has the insurance forms, unfortunately they show his registration number as being slightly wrong (one letter incorrect I believe - as he is dyslexic he didn't spot this). Communication with his insurance company after the fact was inconclusive as they said that their recording of the call he made to place his insurance was 'not clear' (if so, why wasn't he asked at the time to confirm the details??). Now *IF* he had also recorded the call he would have proof of the conversation so that he could confirm that he had given them the correct number and it was in fact them that had messed up.

Just one real life example but I'm sure you can think of many many more.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Franz666:
Same here. Clean install. Photos go to "\Android\data\org.lineageos.snap\files".

You can see the photos in the gallery app at first, but not after reboot anymore. Even not after waiting after a couple of minutes, which seems to be another issue -> it takes a long time after reboot till the gallery app finds any pictures on the SD card at all.

But still amazing work, guys! Thanx!!!

I have figured out what the problem is with the homescreen freeze. It only appears if I haven't any screen lock option enabled. In my case I use system profiles to switch between home, office, ... profiles. At home I would like to disable the security option. But with it disabled the home screen often freezes (can't be shifted to left/right, folders don't open) until an app is opened from the just graphically frozen home screen. Is this a Lineage bug or where to report this bug to ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
Report the bug here by providing a full set of syslogs taken after the freeze and once control returns to you.

I appreciate your responding to [MENTION=9791035]gennodi[/MENTION] with pertinent information and affirming assurances.

However, you could also provide an answer to [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION]'s question to assist him in understanding, as this is not truly "normal" operation since it is inaccurate.

[MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] would like to know whether you are viewing this inaccurate measurement via a 3rd party application or... where in his provided UI are the two of you observing the 2600mAh?

I think the easiest way to accomplish this is by having both of you snap and post a screenshot from your devices.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] poolcin:
I have a strange issue with the latest rom version. It looks like a clouding thing on TVs.

On the main screen left top corner is a little bit "lighter". It is visible on the black desktop wallpaper (0,0,0) only.

It doesn't exist on lock screen at all (same wallpaper for bot desktop and lock screen). But once i unlock the phone, after less than a second it kind of slowly "appears/fades in" onto the screen.

Anyone having sane issue?

Sorry cant upload screenshot
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] GOOGLE_USER:
PROGRESS

Screenshot no longer requested [by me] since you have indicated that it is not the system, per se, rather multiple 3rd party applications that are outputting these seemingly erroneous measurements. Perhaps you could look in BuffCore APP > Battery > slide header panel to the left... but I'm not certain if this is dynamic or merely a static value parroting an expected specification. I no longer have a large capacity battery so I'm unable to test it myself.

Stand by for the wisdom of the pros!

gvamp's log

Here is the information you have requested from [MENTION=7163049]gvamp[/MENTION].
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gvamp:
... thank you ... and here is the description:

I have just reduced the event & logcat to the relevant time windows: 06:54:27 Screen activated by flip (no security option enabled) and home screen is frozen (but status bar is still responsive). 06:55:00.155 getting back control over home screen by calling the tv guide app (any other app would also do the job).

I recognized that msm_hsic_host is metioned anywhere. Maybe you could please have a look if there is any chance of reducing the 10% kernel wakelock battery "drain" when the screen is off (only with mobile data enabled).

Apart from these two smaller issues this rom is really, really great. Thank you for your hard work and your time ! :)

At every reboot "system media has stopped" i have to eject the sd card for make it work
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pocketrule:
To answer your question, it's better if you provide additional information, e.g. Which device? Does it work with another ROM on the same device / on another device? Clean / dirty flash? What did you flash exactly? You should also provide a proper log, so that the developer can see errors directly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
Check integrity of SD card.

Take it to pc, backup all data, format card, copy data back.

If you get errors during this process junk card and replace with new one.

Halp!

Hi I have the 720T version but do not have TWRP - 3.2.3-0, there is only 3.1 available for my version.

Could you let me know how I could install for the Tri-Band version?

EDIT 20190328: My apologies for being a noob, I was having a hard time searching through the thread. But I have found the solution. The international version of the 3.2.3 image should work. I appreciate all of the work that has been done and I am truly grateful that I can still use my old phone.

EDIT 20190328 20:40 - A big thank you to JDC team, I am poor and do not plan on buying a new phone anytime soon. This update has breathed a new life into my I720T and want to say again how thankful I am for the support.

Hi, first congratulations for the build, it's so smooth and fast ... Well, but i've some problems: 1-my sdcard (sandisk original HC (30mbps) is formatted within internal memory, and after installed 2 apps with more than 1,5 GB size, shows error alert when rebooted. 2-selinux in security alert too. If have any solve about this i will be glad to test it. Thanx and congrats again

With having submitted three posts at xda you seem to be a quite new member. Welcome!

Because of this great community here and very active development for our device, questions are often answered already before asked ;). But there's so much information that what you search may be hidden somwhere in the forums. So if you're encountering a problem, there are some steps you can do to find the solution yourself:

- Read the first posts carefully - they often contain information about common problems (this step will probably not help you concerning the above mentioned problems)

- Read the latest posts carefully - if you do that you'll find that there has just been a discussion about sd card problems - and possible solutions

- Search the thread for the problem. If you search for selinux, you'll find several posts about selinux state and that it's not possible to change it to enforcing - yet (this might change in the future, so it could be a good idea to follow the further discussion here :D)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
1. Do not ask a it tv connectivity and any related issue. We consider it as DEAD

2. I am working on enforcing selinux for next release

3. About SD cards. If u have issues, format it and try again. Newer Android versions are weird regarding SD cards

Battery Drain on ROM version 6

I was very pleased when I installed version 5 of this rom. Very good battery life. When I updated to version 6 my battery got drained faster than normal. I only updated to rom version 6, apps were not updated. Luckily I made a backup in TWRP so I went back to version 5 and now my battery life is good again. I installed a battery app to monitor what was going on and I noticed a few things between rom version 5 & 6. See attached image files.

VERSION 5

- wakelock bluesleep is active?

- Held Awake is only a few hours

VERSION 6

- wakelock bluesleep is not there?

- wakelock msm_serial_hs_dma is very active?

- held awake is 100%

I'm not sure if this is enough info for the developers, but I thought it is a start.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
from first post:

Why this? Why formatting a second time?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MrPatStone:
That's strange. I'm on v6 and haven't noticed much drain compared to v5.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ledom05:
After problems with V5 (android become slow, high app crash frequency, reboots) I decided to test V6.

Fresh and clean install, Gapps Nano, restore my apps with Titanium.

All works fine, fast and stable.

But after one week, the rom became slow again. it sometimes lag or even crash with reboot. not ready to use in working context.

I need to reboot 2 or 3 times a day to get it working fine.

How to find what is going wrong?

I do not have App crashing, just lags and sometimes "Interface not responding"

Another issue is the horrible sound with headphones at low level. Extremely noisy.

I posted a comment 1 year ago about the experience you guys gifted me with these amazing builds, now 1 year later im here with a galaxy s10+ and i cant express how beautiful it is to see that this community that i stood around like at least 1 hour a day hindreds of times refreshing for new builds, now here i am rarely ever going on xda bc im rolling with official monthlies from samsung themselves, but if i could choose now what i would have right now between this phone with jdcteam cm builds or my s10 plus, i would pic the s4, nothing will ever take that fire that i have for this community, im glad i came to a community thats still alive and doing well, keep up the most amazing amazing work boys, u make me proud, ill buy the s4 this week to test ur builds.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nelpiq:
Our great S4 is living on the top and looking brand new because of this amazing work by developers, side, buff and all JDCTeam stuff.

Anyway there's nothing compared in beauty to S4 & S7. Neither S10+ nor any other device from any other make can compare ;) :victory: :cool:

Long live S4!!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Solway:
Amen to that.

i love my S4, has removable battery, and a audio jack for one!

i have repaired/replaced my sim card/sdcard reader and motherboard over the years. so easy to do. and its still got enough power to do the jobs.

I thank Side so much for this ROM. its fantastic.

While im here, been testing the version 6 for 2 days so far.

my issues:

-- the "SIM card removed bug" still present. any luck in tracking that down? seems when signal changes from 3g to 4g. I will help track it down if i can, its SO ANNOYING

-- battery icon and % setting bug still there (i know you cant be arsed to fix it :P)

-- camera app when saving to SD card, it goes to some weird directory instead of say DCIM? Also, how come we cant get google camera to work on this rom., i would like to do photospheres again.

-- GPS doesn't seem to get a fix (see attached pic), even though it has found multiple satellites. And after ages, it might get a fix within 100m+ until you move and it loses you. Version 4 was fine for me, version 5 had the problem too.

-- my logcat shows these endless errors

Ok everybody seems to repeat the same issue but it's not a bug cuz i don't have that and i just tested it because even I'm not using default camera i did test for you to show that everything is right with saving pictures

Gps and sim card - yes it's true it's bad but not pictures path

Good evening guys and thanks for the love <3

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] BiMax:
I did a clean install but I forgot to remove/delete the android folder on SD card.

Maybe this was the the origin of the problem. :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DerHimmel:
I'm sorry to be monotonous and just write about GPS, but I read that others have problems. For a valid and fast GPS in the FIX I went back to version 2. The only version that allows the gps fix in <20 seconds. I tried to install all the subsequent relase, I do clean installation, but as written by [MENTION=4103124]Solway[/MENTION] the satellites are the fix, unfortunately, no. I would like to thank all the JDCTeam because without their superb work we would have no more problems with S4, it would have died in a drawer.

Translated with google translator I apologize for errors and incorrect words.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
With ANY GPS related problems it's important we know what country you are in and what provider you use, plus if you have used an app to download AGPS data before attempting to use GPS (you should).

Without correct AGPS data for your location it can take 5 - 10 minutes to figure location from pure satelite data alone. AGPS pre-hints where to expect to find the satelites viewable from your country.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Solway:
If i can help in any way to get sim card fixes and GPS fix i will!

i use app called GPS status. and from UK. i also download AGPS. It seems to get all the fixes on the sats, but unable to lock.

whats the cause of the sim card issue out of interest? i always get it when i leave Wifi area and off out exploring between 3g and 4g data changes. only way to fix is restarting phone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] InTheY2K:
About the "SIM card removed" issue: that's not a problem specific to LOS, but I can say LOS handles it more gracefully.

Due to a replacement of my OEM screen against an LCD screen from ebay recently, I cannot use LOS anymore as there aren't any appropriate screen drivers, it seems. Hence, I was forced to go back to Stock Lollipop (5.0.1) to be able to boot my S4 again. And there the SIM card problem is even worse. Several times a day I get that dreaded message, and then there is NOTHING else you can do but restart immediately. The ROM won't let you do anything else. That's especially annoying if you're in the middle of writing a lengthy FB or forum post and all your typing goes out the window, because you MUST restart now. This sucks big time.

This rendered my S4 unusable as the daily driver as I had to take out the SIM and put it into another phone.

There are certain messages in the log every time that happens, so as to recognize the situation. From my point of view these could be used to do a soft reset of the respective module. Funny thing is: in LOS it did happen a few times that the message "SIM card removed" popped up and I decided to restart later, and after a while it started working again, without a reboot. Therefore I believe it should be possible to do such a soft reset from within the ROM, whatever the cause.

Remote control

Android giveth; And Android taketh away.

Time waits for no man or device. With time, inevitably, will come obsolescence.

The ephemeral nature/status/attention afforded to many of our electronic devices is deplorable.

[MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION], [MENTION=1711160]Buff99[/MENTION], and many who have assisted with their contributions, have long staved off the blight of premature abandonment.

When, nearer the end, I am left with possibly nothing more than a super-fancy and very nice IR remote control, I will still consider it as a "PROFIT," and will look to [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION], [MENTION=1711160]Buff99[/MENTION], and JDCTeam for support. ;) :p :fingers-crossed: :highfive:

This is unfortunate.

However, good information in your post to chew on. I hope it renders some insight to a resolution.

Presently, my only contribution to be offered is that I have yet to experience the SIM card issue and I, notably, am on a CDMA network.

To the two members I've quoted and all others capable, your observations are clues to find the cause and are appreciated!

I live in central Italy, near Florence, and as [MENTION=4103124]Solway[/MENTION] I use GPS Status & Toolbox to manage the GPS search. The A-GPS data is automatically downloaded. With version 2, central Italy and GPS Status & Toolbox in less than 20 seconds, even at the first power on, it does a satellite fix, with other versions, 100% clean installation, you can see the satellites but the fix does not happen. At least in a short time.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] BiMax:
Strange, I live also in Italy (north-east), clean-installed V6, same GPS Status & Toolbox, and everithing works well.

I use TomTom app and, once downloaded A-GPS data, the GPS connection takes 4 seconds.

Just seldom I have to turn GPS off and then on to get GPS connection, but only at first TomTom run.

Germany (mostly clear sky)

GPS Status

after downloading A-GPS Xtra Data manual it says

"fix in 48 s" for the first time,

second fix in 9 s

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mittfh:
I'm still running v5 (if v7's coming out before Easter, I may as well wait until then to update :) ), and my experience on the three currently frequently reported issues:

a) SD Card - the only "issue" I've noticed is that after a reboot, I initially get "SD card missing" (and the icons for sd installed apps are greyed out - indicating not available), but around 20 seconds after logging in, it becomes available (and the icons return to full colour). I suspect the system may be fscking it before mounting it.

b) Camera - both Snap (ROM builtin camera) and OpenCamera save to the appropriate locations.

Occasionally when taking a flash photo with OpenCamera, the system will die (as in turn itself off), and is only able to turn back on again after a battery pull. But as non-flash photography with that app and other apps work (including with flash), that's more an OpenCamera thing than a ROM thing.

c) GPS - variable. Sometimes it gets a fix very quickly, sometimes it takes several minutes. Right now - 45s.

(Just as well weather conditions over here for the past week have been rather naff, so not conducive to spending hours geocaching!)
