I'm on V5, too, now. Awesome. Runs like a charm. I even did a dirty dirty flash without even wiping the cache or dalvik. No problems so far!

Let's see what happens with the "SIM card removed" issue.

Funnily, in V4 already, it occurred twice that after that message popped up and I didn't restart the phone, it prompted me to enter the PIN again at some point, and it worked again. [emoji4]

Hi all,

Not yet tested BT calls, but already one great new : upgrade (dirty flash with dalvik and cache clean) from v2 is OK !
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bodenseematze:
I had this once with r4 - it didn't show up "card removed" or such but it asked for the PIN, accepted it and reasked a few seconds later again - that happens several times until I rebooted.

After that it vanished (only one question for the PIN ;)) and did never happen again 'til now...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DoughMucker:
That was with a reflash of the rom after changing twrp. I don't get it either. Perhaps it was something else.

[MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] and team, thank you for V5 with BT call support!

I'd like to upgrade from V3 to V5, but being relatively new to this I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction: I'd like to upgrade but keep my apps intact - is this what's called a "dirty flash"? Or should I backup all my apps, clean flash, then restore them? Is there best-practices documentation on how best to do this?

Thanks!

Dirty Flashing Best Practices:

Download ROM.

Download Gapps.

Backup all apps and app settings with an app like Titanium Backup.

Backup entire current ROM with TWRP.

Flash new ROM.

Flash Gapps.

Flash Magisk. (Optional)

Reboot and Enjoy! :good:

I've just upgraded from 15.1V4, and let me say : Wow !! Thanks a lot to the team !

This build is much more fluid, and battery life is excellent.

Every things is working fine (for the moment)

I've just one thing to ask : is this rom support signature spoofing for MicroG ? I'me unable to find it where it was before (in app permission)

If it is, where can I find it ?

If it's not, is there a solution to use MicroG ?

And again : THANKS GUYS !!

I have to thank you for your hard work, I am testing the ROM right now, everything seems perfect.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
As you are trying to get logs for a reboot issue it becomes trickier - android makes a number of logs but as soon as you reboot all but one are re-initialised. the one we need here is the last_kmsg which is the kernel log for the PREVIOUS session i.e. before the last reboot.

So make a call and let it reboot, as soon as you get back into android make a copy of the last_kmsg log file.

There are other more advanced ways of capturing logs live by connecting to a PC with ADB (android debug bridge) which we will try if the last_kmsg is of no help..

Use the app syslog and it will grab logs and wrap them into a zip ready for uploading.

See here for a bit more on use of syslog:

Quick feedback

Hi all,

This post to say that BT calls are back !

This is for me the first release that fully enable BT audio browsing from my car (I use Pulsar and Google Play Music) and BT calls (calling and answering).

I use Magisk : I previously installed the last release (magisk 18.1 and manager 7.0) on the OptLos v2, then install OptLos 5 without Magisk, reboot and then install magisk : perhaps this combination explains why I was able to upgrade from v2 to v5 ?

Remaining little pbs for me :

- the battery icon doesn't work well in circle mode (choosing this setting, the percentage is always printed, right to the circle even if I choose the "in circle" setting) : it was OK in the v2

- I can't install the Google Camera App, so I can't do photosphere pictures : is there an alternative app to do so ?

- with the built-in photo app, pictures are always stored in the files directory of org.lineagos.snap : DCIM would be a better place !

But last of all many thanks JDCTeam for this great work !
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
guys, can you share your percentage usage over night (about 8 hours) on air plane mode?

for me it continues from version to version to drain about 10% from a 5200maH battery, so basicly it would be 20% on a regular one.

please don´t cry about no log, I want a comparison from the users, thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chibbo:
0,4-0,8% per hour, no airplane mode, wifi on, original battery
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
0.4 - 0.8 is reasonable but could be better.

2.5 per hour is dreadful.

Why do you use airplane mode?

Do you know this stops doze from functioning and therefore does not get you the best power savings? Doze is triggered by signals from Google and if those signals aren't received phone does not doze. Doze suspends wakelocks and stops phone getting woken so often and defers communications, bunching them into packets that are dealt with regularly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chibbo:
He doesn't like to be spied upon when he sleeps? :eek::laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
:D

sounds legit, but I think might be better without signals when sleeping (no actual proof), because the phone is close to me for the reason to put it on air plane mode when I go sleep and off when I awake.

also look at the clock :D

btw. I´ll test to let it off, however I remember it different.

btw2. oh yeah, opengapps are back ;)

I have done a fresh install of version 5. Great work BTW

some feedback

I keep getting the "sim card not found" issue. randomly, not sure why. then i restart the phone and its fine. didnt have this on version 3

text for the circle battery icons dont work.

issue with the way the adaptive brightness bar works? shouldnt it cancel the auto brightness when you manually play with the bar? and any manual adjustment is canceled when enabling the auto icon?

the hand wave gesture to wake the screen, doesnt seem to work anymore?

the time widget on the homepage, doesnt seem to update itself. and every now and again it will show a old time, then suddenly wake up and refresh itself.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] SrJardel:
Thanks, working fine on i9505.

One question tho, why does system occupies 6.70gb+ of space?

I've instaled LOS16.0 on MotoG Titan and system eats less than 4gb of space. I know they are completely different devices, but anyways, almost 7gb for system is something I've never seen on any of my devices.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Solway:
1. Sorry, i know thats not much help. Any way i can provide some feedback/logs? but there is something happening. Last night the 4g signal showed full bar, but no connection. then when i put it into airplane mode then out again, it was fine. And had a random no sim alert too.

2. thought you fixed this in version 2 ;)

3. i mean, in the official lineage OS the quick access setting brightness bar. In that OS when you manually set the bar, the auto icon turns off. when you enable the auto setting, then the bar value will change from the manual setting to the whatever the automatic setting is.

4. the clock i notice alot. only happens when i go to wake the device. clock i think is set at the time of the screen lock. then suddenly refreshes to the right time when i unlock it. i noticed it more when screensaver is enabled and when phone is pluged in.

Newbie questions...

Arriving late to this thread. I'm a novice custom ROM user, working with Heimdall and adb on Linux. I have a couple of hand-me-down jfltecan devices one on OptLinOS-14.1 and the other on OptLinOS-16.0-v5.

First off, you guys [JDCTeam] are amazing! Having just tried (and failed) to build a custom ROM for the jfltecan in another project, I have a sense of the scale and complexity of the task. [At some point, I might ask about the possibility of using the JDCTeam repositories as a base for building the /e/ privacy-oriented ROM being developed by the https://e.foundation.]

Anyway, I decided to upgrade from OptLinOS-15.1 to OptLinOS-16.0-v5 after having trouble connecting via Bluetooth to headset and car. I haven't put in a SIM card yet but so far the device is running flawlessly. I do have a few questions though.

Questions:

1. Have the base OptLinOS-16.1 and OptLinOS-16.1-GO merged? When I went to the download site, I did not see two separate versions.

2. The install instructions say to include your "boot solution" and recovery but I just installed the ROM and the Gapps package. I already had root and the latest TWRP on the device having used Heimdall to flash the CACHE and RECOVERY partitions with files extracted from a CF-Auto-Root ODIN package and then reinstalled TWRP recovery. I did not want to go through that again. Is this what constitutes a "dirty install"? I'd be happy to find a cleaner Linux "root solution" if there is one to be found.

3 . Finally, I'm trying to figure out how to make a flashable zip of my favourite apps. [I'm on Linux.] I've tried a couple of methods but am not having much luck although I'm getting better at adb install .

Comments or suggestions appreciated.

I apologize for the long-windedness. I'm an old-fart and not as conversant in the shorthand writing style that is the usual approach in these forums .

Hey guys,

I have some trouble getting root to work again on v5. Did a full clean install.

Did it like usually and like the OP says: ROM, root and gapps. But magisk manager claims that magisk is not installed.

What am I doing wrong?

Tried Magisk-Uninstaller and reflashing Magisk with TWRP. With and without reboots inbetween, with and without wiping of daliv/cache. But nothing works :(

And what is that "included root solution"? Cannot see a trace of it, how does it work, where can i find it?

All I need root for is titanium backup :( plz help

EDIT: Also tried reflashing Boot.img from the ZIP + magisk reflash. Did not work either :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] dvhttn:

Cannot find root under dev options, where exactly is it supposed to be?

And I have Magisk manager, but no root (installed the manager here from XDA, since I had a similar problem before, where root was present, but MM was not)

Titanium Backup refuses to work, it cannot acquire root privileges. :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] dvhttn:
What I'm saying is that when I installed MM it would not work and also I could not find root under Dev options. I had to re-install everything but NOT MM before I could see root under dev options. All works fine now. But read the MM support thread!

Some of our device specific repos are private and won't be shared. Sorry.

Go versions are only made when [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] can be bothered / finds time. A v5 go hasn't been made yet as he has been devoting all his energies to Bluetooth issues..

Because you rooted your phone to enable you to put TWRP on does not mean you have persistant root. Most roms are supplied without root built in and you always need to apply it yourself. OptLos16 however has Lineage's basic root built in which can be activated through the developer settings menu, or you can choose to install something like Magisk or SUperSU yourself.

Titanium backup can be used to make a single flashable zip.

Don't worry about it, I'm at least as old a fart as yourself...

Thanks so much for your detailed answers. If you know of an authoritative source on rooting with SuperSu and/or Magisk, I'd appreciate it. I am especially excited to hear that Titanium can generate flashable zip files. I'll dig around and report back if I have any problems or further questions.

Unfortunately I have to report a pb I didn't have with v2 : after some time BT stops working, and I don't know why. I think nothing has changed on my phone as I update from v2 to v5. I get an error message "L'application BT a cessé de fonctionner". I have to reboot my phone to get BT back.

Follow-up

I bit the bullet and upgraded my second i337M/jfltecan to OptLinOS-16-v5. This time I flashed the ROM, Gapps and Aroma. The Aroma was a pleasant surprise - lots of cool options INCLUDING the ability to set Magisk as your default "root solution", replacing the one built in to the ROM. I chose that just out of curiosity and it works like a charm!

The only difficulty I had was in installing the flashable zip of a basic set of (non-Google) apps that I made with Titanium. I included it in the original install but it didn't show up and flashing it again later failed as well even when I wiped both the Dalvik and the system cache partitions before and after the install. I was able to install most of the 20 or so apps with ADB install, but even that choked on a couple (Telegram, ASR and one other one). I'm now wondering if those packages might have caused the TWRP flash of the Titanium zip to fail. Sorry, haven't figured out yet how to get logs from TWRP flash.

In any case, the both devices are up and running happily on OptLinOS-16-v5. The analogy that I used to explain it to my wife was, that it is like installing a Chevy 427-V8 in an old Chevette, although I suppose it's really more akin to putting a modern 2L Turbo, in a 1990s vintage Accord.

That does it for me for now. I expect to deploy at least one of these S4's to a "mom and pop" type user who needs a very basic phone for voice calls, texting and perhaps a bit of email and web searching. I'll keep the other one as a backup and "lab" device. I would still like to pursue further the privacy-focused /e/ ROM project and I'm hoping that customizations soon become possible for my daily driver, a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (the Canadian N950W variant.)

Thanks to the JDCTeam for your excellent work and in particular to [MENTION=4785270]Markus A[/MENTION]nd [MENTION=1711160]Buff99[/MENTION] for helpful suggestions along the way and, of course, to [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION], the driving force of the project.
