HMMM.

Please advise me of your current status.

Also, I see that you have thanked [MENTION=5322828]rw_on_xda[/MENTION]'s post indicating you have read it.

I take issue with none of the input provided by this member. Investigate and apply as you see fit.

This is of particular interest.

Unless you have already flashed stock. Then this...

... continuance would indicate a hardware failure, intermittent though it may be.

A valid personal experience statement. Again, no issues from me here.

However, to the point, it is the mixing of BBs & BLs that I have proposed as the root cause.

Different FWs would not intermingle conflicting BB & BL.

Now this...

I appreciate your input. I regret any misdirection.

However, I am not that individual who posted these offerings. Links to source were merely obtained by me through search efforts and given the numerous downloads I assumed they were reliable. Unfortunately, I could not verify as my device is of a different variant.

Yeah, this may not be for you.

Continue to monitor for end results.

Hi people, I'm also experiencing wifi dropping issue: wifi connects for few seconds than it keeps scanning but doesn't "see" any network, I must turn it off and on and than again with the issue.

Having this problem with any Lineage from 14.1 and 16 but didn't have it few months ago with Los 14.1.2!!

Flashed the BB and BL linked by GOOGLE_USER but no good.

I noticed that disabling wps on one of my router two channels (2.4, 5 GHz) makes that channel invisible to my mobile, hope this helps further adjustment.

Thanks

VERIFY

Thank you for the input.

Having flashed, I wonder if you can verify the results by opening Buffcore APP and selecting DEVICE and report what you observe the BB & BL to be?

I succeeded too in flashing to version K1. At first I restarted my phone into download mode (power button - restart - download), that apparently didn't work for me. Now I turned off my phone, restarted with holding the power, volume down and home button to get into download mode. Then I flashed, after PASS, I unplugged USB cable and removed battery then started the phone.

Hi guys,

finally I got version 7 running on my jfltexx (had lots of problems with TWRP - no touch is working since version 3.x; I found out, that a OTG-mouse is a good workaround for using the recovery).

All in all the "real" OS is working really fluently and I like the new UI Design of Android Pie. The only thing is, that touch stopps working after the device was locked once. After the phone has been rebooted, touch is working again until the Screen goes off. I can remember a very similar issue in an earlier version of Optimized Lieage OS. I think I had to not choose Alucard's kernel (in Aroma-Installer; think it was named "Stock...") or touch was never working (also not after rebooting).

I later installed Magisk, BuffCore-KernelEditor and JDC-Toolbox using Aroma and tried to change some settings, I also deleted /Cache (in Recovery), but nothing worked. It's quite frustrating for now, but hopefully someone knows the solution for this issue - using a OTG-mouse while outside might not be the best way to handle it.

Thanks in advance

Felix

hello

I have a bug since yesterday :

when my screen is off (in standby) and i press power key or menu key to light it

then i type my password to unlock the screen, the screen will unlock but just after my entire screen become all purple or red color and flash :(

and i can not do anything anymore. I am forced to return the screen to standby by power button and then turn it on again and retype my password for the screen to work again.This problem occurs 1 time out of 2 :(

can i try to make a wipe cache with twrp to try to fix this problem?

Hi to all!

Installed V7 (clean install)

Been using for couple of weeks (daily use): amazing ROM!!!

Good job, guys! Thank you for keeping S4 alive.

In addition to the telephone (obviously) I use the GPS and the BT headset in the car and everything works properly. :good:

Battery drain is almost perfect! (Better than new - see attached screenshot)

So far, I report just a few small issues:

- When the WiFi is OFF the icon is wrong (see attached screenshot): the GPS icon is shown.

- Seldom BT doesn't work: even I turn it ON, it gets OFF and only a reboot fix it.

- The CAMERA (stock) saves the photos on a wrong folder instead of DCIM/camera (see attached screenshot): any fix for this in settings?

Finally, I'm a bit confused concerning bootloader, GSM & NON-HLOS:

reading HERE the latest firmware for GT-I9505 should be XXUHQC1 (the one I've installed - see attached screenshot), but reanding this thread someone talk about XXUHQK1.

Should I update or what? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rw_on_xda:
for an GT-I9505:

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s4/GT-I9505/

you're may adjust your country and maybe your phone ...

to download (ROM, ODIN) you need an account and - thats new: realizing they throttled the download speed - patience -

before flashing check the Rom-Version via google/XDA if there are hiccup's

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mittfh:
Installed V7 on Friday - clean flash to be safe. So far, no issues with the OS itself - and Smart Lock's now been implemented :)

However, Play Store seems to think the latest version of the Amazon Shopping app is incompatible with my phone (shame they don't tell you why - tweaking the display size and/or font size, as suggested in some discussions obtained via searches didn't work), while Amazon's own app store (which I installed as I figured it may be a workaround) only offers the Tablet version, which clearly does not like portrait HD resolution...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] djfelix13:
Thanks for your answer. This sadly confirms what I guessed to be the reason. All startet after I had to replace my broken screen, maybe Samsung changed some electrical parts (Caps, Rs or some ICs).

In this case I can't do more than go back to 8.1 and wait for another Kernel (as I know there is only BuffCore for now) to be released.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] skarna:
So how does V7 of this release compare to the JDCTeam 14.1 Nougat release? Does it have the same reliability, battery life and performance? Or am I better of continuing with Nougat? I heavily depend on the phone, bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS and camera. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gatarax:
because in the tutorial page 1 it is said :

" DO NOT wipe cache / dalvik / art after flashing as this rom is pre-deodexed "

but as it's been several days since i installed the rom, can i now do a wipe cache please to try to fix my bug?

if not to make the updates of this rom what is the process please? I searched in the search box but found nothing in the tuto page 1 :confused:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pocketrule:
After installation there's no need to wipe, so the boot process finishes much faster.

But yes, it's a good idea to wipe cache, if you encounter problems with your rom. Good luck ?

Ive been testing the version 7 (clean install for a few days)

Have you tried MyAPN from the playstore? Not sure if it will help your situation or not? Looks like not, seems that you are dealing with something else.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Likely a hardware issue, which is actually somewhat common. He should install a stock ROM and see if the issue occurs there. If it does, the SIM card tray needs to be replaced. If it was already replaced by him earlier, he likely forgot the foam pad on top of the connector which prevents the connector from lifting up, since replacements generally don't include that pad.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] madyinwhich:
Hi all,

I have now version 7 some days on my Galaxy S4 (I9505) and all worked very well until I changed the statusbar settings "Columns portrait" to 0. Now I have a black screen similar to the "screen curtain" feature but I find no way to get back and turn the screen on. After restarting I see the Pie logo and then the screen turns black. If I press the Power button I have only a menu with 3 options, Power off, Restart and Lockdown. The best wood be this is just another feature of which I don't know yet and there is a simple solution. Unfortunately I have not yet made a backup of the system. Thanks for any help in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Kippy51:
Power off the phone. Press power button, home button and volume up at the same time. You should get into TWRP. Then wipe system, dalvik and cache. Go back to install and flash ROM, gapps and your choice of root (Magisk?). Then reboot and hopefully you're good again ..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] madyinwhich:
I just made what you said, Kippy51, but without luck. Again the black screen and the phone retarts after a minute by itself in recovery mode. Maybe there Is a preferences file somewhere located in which I can change the statusbar columns parameter with twrp ? The problem is that I moved the slider to the left and the screen changed to black.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Kippy51:
Sorry, I'm out of idea's. Maybe [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] has the magic solution.

Hi, I have 2 questions please, because I try to use the search lens but maybe I didn't use the correct keywords:

1) I downloaded the latest update but TV screen sharing doesn't work. Does it work for you?

2) For future updates without losing data, can I flash and overwrite the new update without wipes?

Thanks, bye

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] madyinwhich:
Well first I had to wipe dalvic cash and system but also data. Then I could reflash the current release but all the apps and settings are lost. So I thought it might be possible to get a little qick fix or there is somewhere a file located (maybe in data/data folder) in which I could change the statusbar columns parameter to a value > 0 ?

Welcome to XDA.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
did I miss a quote or any comment on this?

am I on an ignor list or something? if so, I wish my €10 donation back or a new battery, lol!

additionally to the battery destruction problem:

the rom shows ampere value on the lock screen, right?

is it acurate?

I see 1300mA going in at lower voltage ( 3,9v) but at higher voltage like 4,3v it is at 1900mA!

are you serious, what is it?

baisicly it is how it is; I use JDC roms so long and it do destroy batteries by this method, so thats how it comes my battery can charge to 100% but fall down to 70% in no time also shut down at about 13%!

do I need to put a bad battery in the device while testing a rom in case in is crap?

sry, need clarification on it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] GOOGLE_USER:
X_&_Y

OK, I believe that I understand you want direction from [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] regarding access via file-manager in TWRP to this specific variable, so that you may set to a value greater than 0.

That is a reasonable request, to which I defer to the Master.

I read your request initially to be asking for a whole new build and/or release and that struck me as... er, unnecessarily time and energy consuming. THAT would NOT be a reasonable request.

However, that was not your request; my mistake; my apologies to you.

Since you do seem to be without a functioning device, you may find it helpful to exercise the dirty flash procedure concisely laid out by our knowledgeable friend-of-the-thread member, [MENTION=4204995]sjamie[/MENTION]: CLICK HERE

Or continue to wait for [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] to respond.

I suspect that, in the execution, when the X [column] variable is observed to be X<1 then conflict with Y [row] variable is unresolvable.

The result is the device expresses its displeasure with your action... by clocking out and resigning; slamming the door on its way out!

I will make an assumption here that your intention was to remove all quick-settings tiles. But since you cannot set both X & Y simultaneously, this is not possible without revision. Even if you could, I am not certain it would not conflict in subsequent executions.

Again, I would defer to the Master; perhaps [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] will implement this as a feature. Complete removal of quick-settings tiles could be useful to some, I suppose.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] timenewroman:

[MENTION=7563952]Gregor ॐ[/MENTION]

I've read your post some time ago and i've done some research...

I guess by magisk package you mean acc (advanced charging controller)? I've tested it and it's working, but seriously, it was bugging me xD

The ACC module also points to batteryuniversity.com somehow. There you'll find a chart which shows: 3.8V batterys are charged with 4.35V

My replacet one (anker) is labeled as "3.8V", also my original one is labeled 3.8V, so i don't see a problem there, it's all within specs. Also, charging from 90%-100% takes longer than i.e. 30%-40% so i guess there is no constant 1900mah at the end.

Your falldown to 70% sounds not right. How old is your battery?

@ timenewroman

that's normal, just disable the notification: security & privacy -> Trust -> SELinux status and ignore vendor: out of date
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Irvine-G:

Does the version run really smoothly on your I9505? It feels a bit laggy for me. :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] GOOGLE_USER:
LAG

Allow time for ROM to "settle in," as they say.

May take a few battery cycles.

May take a few power cycles.

Adjust animations then to your preference under settings found in developer options.

Additionally, if you feel you have already allowed ample time, you may try wiping DALVIK and CACHE via TWRP and allow that to settle.

Also, if you use another launcher, such as NOVA, then follow launcher direction for UI settings and adjust only the NOVA setting from that point forward. Or set NOVA to STOCK, adjusting then only though UI interface.

about columns on quick settings panel....

wtf...can u please EXPLAIN how a Grid can be drown without columns ?

zero columns panel cant exist. Please draw it to me.i cant imagine it...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] GOOGLE_USER:
Yeah, that seemed to be the goal in [MENTION=5091349]madyinwhich[/MENTION]'s setting it to 0 to begin with... no grid, as you say.

0 columns, 0 rows, 0 grid, complete absence of quick-settings tiles.

Can't imagine myself what JUST 0 on the columns was to accomplish.

Would only leave a line, no room for rows to reside.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
I will have to add a whole new tweak in order to disappear all icons... Having '0' columns produces reboot because ROM is trying to tidy up the icons dividing with the number of columns.

example:

7 icons and 2 columns = 3 icons per column and 1 left.

if you select 0 columns it goes like : 7/0=sudden reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] GOOGLE_USER:
Agreed, would be a new tweak. And I'm not clamoring for it personally. Just thought that's what that member was trying to accomplish.

As an experimental exercise I enabled auto rotate, set landscape sliders to 0s and before backing out of settings turned phone to landscape. Resulted in system reset to home screen but in portrait.

[MENTION=5091349]madyinwhich[/MENTION], IF you happened to have auto rotation enabled before issue, then try booting while you hold phone in LANDSCAPE orientation.

I flashed and been on this ROM for a little over a week now. . . thought I'd give it time to get comfy with my device. . . VERY GOOD WORK guys[emoji41][emoji106]

Brought my workout device back from the depths of 5.0 even though I only use it for my old school music library, Bluetooth and web browsing I wanted a up to date ROM on par with my other devices. . .

There are a few issues I'm having and would KINDLY appreciate some guidance in solving them if possible:

1. WiFi* like others have commented I also still experience the constant issue with dropped WiFi, the constant connect/disconnect is REAL and it's only this device since flashing this ROM even when sitting next to ANY wireless router?

2. Viper4AndroidFX* I'm a huge fan, been a addicted user for 5+ years. Is it possible to flash STOCK version. I prefer the stock Viper UI, color and controls. . . since some features seem to be missing or preventing me from importing/using my STOCK profiles I've used for years?

3. Scrolling seems to be a little sluggish in apps like Google, YouTube Vanced, Tapatalk, Bleacher Report even in Magisk Manager when scrolling?

These are the main issues I can't seem to wrap my head around. . . my S4 SPH-L720 is in perfect condition, battery life is improved! ! !

Hi everyone. After long time using factory 4.4.2, i switched to this rom, and using it about 2 weeks now. Rom is very stable, no major issues, thanks to developers.

Only thing i see for now is that app drawer is little laggy , like and some other applications when scrolling. Is there any chance that this will be fixed in some newer releases?

Other than that, phone become very hot when browsing internet with Chrome, and eat battery like monster, but in normal usage, battery life is ok. Yesterday, i turned on battery saver all day, and with normal usage, battery at end of the day stayed at 75% witch is incredible :).
