ich kann euch das gerät zur Verfügung stellen wenn ihr wollt

I can make the device available to you if you want.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Buff99:
Thanks for your kind offer Christian.

Time and priorites are also the problem and I have neither the time to take on something extra or the desire to drop something to make a build for jfvelte....

But again, thank you for the offer,

It's okay I can understand ;)

All those different pies... Pies, pies, everywhere. Can't decide which one is best for me. :eek:

OptLOS or AOSP Ext.? Aaaaahhhhhh...
[Galaxy S 4 General] T-nm:
Wow, guess I'll keep my S4 yet again this year lol.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Buff99:
Run it into the ground, it's the only way.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Buff99:

Birthday.

[Galaxy S 4 General] davidvanwijk:
Wow, exciting! I am especially interested in RR! And - ofcourse - OptLos...
[Galaxy S 4 General] Buff99:
RR?

Hmmm, don't think I said that David...

;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] davidvanwijk:
No, you are right...

Liquid remix pie is not the same as RR.

Thanks anyway!
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
So, what in particular is the difference between Go and AOSP Extended?

Which are the "apps and functions" being included, which are not?

:confused:

Sorry, but there is nowhere any description on it.

Can you please give me some words of information before i am installing each single rom variant?

Thank you. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] pocketrule:
That's not exactly true. A google search returns e.g.

https://www.androidauthority.com/android-go-773037/

That's no direct comparison, but with this information you could make a comparison and post it here, so that other users can profit from this knowledge, too :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Warfare777:
Hello Guys, I was wondering why both Oreo and Pie are suffuring of bluetooth call issue with S4 ... is it a hardware issue that will never be adressed or it's possible to fix it ?

Would love to jump to either Oreo or even Pie but seem's that all rom are impacted by this issue ^^
[Galaxy S 4 General] Buff99:
It's needle in a haystack stuff. No logs are helping.

It's a subtle misconfiguration at best.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Buff99:
I pricked my finger today, more news soon..
[Galaxy S 4 General] Buff99:
Security updates for February should pop up next week, so expect updated builds from us.

V3 for my roms

V5 for OptLos from [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION]​

….. yes, BT calling is indeed fixed
[Galaxy S 4 General] meiertom:
I would really appreciate, if you would release buffrom#3 as RR-rom. I think its the most customizable rom, i used the RR-O and before the RR-N for a long time and was really satisfied with it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Buff99:
Oh, OK then.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Buff99:
BT calling DONE

v3 / v5 roms are out, enjoy using your BT headsets / BT equipped cars for making calls.

[Galaxy S 4 General] John D J:
Hi I've been testing pie from slack brilliant work. I notice on v5 this there's no buffcore of which I find is a great shame, not for over clocking but for the fact that without it I can't get link2sd to work.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Buff99:
It hasn't been dropped, simply moved out to the aroma add-on as it's an 'optional extra' no matter how useful it may be!

Link to aroma should be in post #1
[Galaxy S 4 General] John D J:
Thanks mate back up and running. Really appreciate it. Such great work. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] thekeemo:
Can anyone comment on how the battery life and "smoothness" is on on Pie compared to older roms, with all the legacy stuff that has be tweaked with to get modern versions running. Currently running the latest LOS and wondering if I should revert back.

Rom # 7 - DotOS - added to post #1

.... Seems like it's my turn to do the next one.
[Galaxy S 4 General] vlatko98:
Will you please make a build for gt i9515 jfvelte , i can be a tester if you need one , also what is the difference between this and gt i9505 , ain't they basically the same phone ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Buff99:
Nope, sorry.

- We don't work on phones we do not physically possess.

- We have no extra time to devote to other hardware. We would have to drop some existing 9505 ROMs to make time and our 9505 fans surely won't like that....
[Galaxy S 4 General] vlatko98:
No worries then , thanks for taking some of your time and answering , also i will probably sell this and get 9505 just for the roms support it got ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Buff99:
Release 5 for all BuffRoms now available

- Call recording enabled for allowable countries.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Buff99:
OP updated for April releases

- better camera

- more governors

- call recording

- smoothness control dialed up to 11
[Galaxy S 4 General] Buff99:
May updates are now released.

Better wifi, smoother interface.

Buffcore kernel updated to 6.1 with zram and lots of wifi and stability fixes.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

I have decided that I will no longer update Resurrection Remix and Liquid Remix roms for jflte, so today's May updates will be the last for those. A number of reasons but a big one is that I've not been happy with the stability in comparison to other roms.

Have no fear, we are not giving up just yet.

I have another rom in preparation that will be released soon that will amply replace both LR and RR. It's a full featured tweakable rom but is more solid, stable and designed than others. It is in testing now with the core slack testers and seems to more than ably replace the dropped roms.

News on a release for that soon.

SOURCE CODE

​

As of 18th June we have decided to free the last of our private Pie source code.

Official Lineage 16.0 will be coming very soon and we would like to encourage more development on S4.

This means the unified JFLTE device tree and the vendor blobs.

Note the device tree is an all in one "AOSP" style tree and will possibly need to be broken into common / Jfltexx / etc for use on Lineage based roms.

We will do this sometime in the future.

You should now be able to use these as a basis to make your own pie roms.

We encourage users to have a go and make something to impress us.

Please post any questions you have about building with our repos in this thread or come to our slack channel jdcteam-pie .

Do NOT PM us about this, it will be ignored. All communication should be made publicly in this thread or on slack.

We will not be tutoring people how to build from scratch, there are plenty of threads about this on XDA.

Your the best I can't wait to develop more ROMs for everyone for our awesome s4 which is still an awesome device and has aged really well for how long its been out:) Maybe the s4 will even get android q at some point:)

Thank you so much for this freedom! I thank you so much for official Lineage 16.0! This allows the building of Lineage for MicroG, which is my favourite ROM! :victory:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Buff99:
Don't blame official Lineage on us.

You've always been able to patch Pie roms for MicroG if that's what floats your boat.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Buff99:
New rom released - #11 - GZOSP pie.

It is a proper classic style AOSP rom by Ground Zero roms and as such is clean and lean. It has a few tweaks but nothing like you are used to with mega tweakable roms. It has latest 7.01 version of kernel and July security updates.

Aosp Extended and AICP will get July updates tonight / tomorrow (testing on Slack now).

Pixel Experience hasn't started any updates yet.

Side has been very busy with work, women and song and so won't get any chance for updating his roms for at least a week or so.

​

OptLos v10 is very close to being released... final versions are in public test at our Slack channel.

OptLos 10 is a complete re-base of the rom now based on proper official Lineage 16.0 as it will be when it gets released.

So new device and vendor trees and a new V8 of buffcore kernel with all previous tweaks.

All source in the kernel that comes from Samsung open source code is now based on the last Samsung drop, QK1.

It is HIGHLY recommended to use QK1 modems and bootloader now.

Seriously, V10 is a whole new OptLos rom.

Release is very close, a couple of days.

If you aren't in our Slack channel already testing it, why not?

?​
[Galaxy S 4 General] InTheY2K:
According to my sources QC1 is the latest version of the modem available for the I9505.

Will that work, too?

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
QK1 is the latest. You can find it in my guide.
[Galaxy S 4 General] InTheY2K:
Ah, OK, I was referring to the XDA thread about all bootloaders and modems for the S4, and that mentions QC1 as the last one.

Thanks! :good:

Gesendet von meinem F1 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
I see, Bon_Bon hasn't updated his thread with the latest, so it can be confusing. :p
[Galaxy S 4 General] InTheY2K:
I thought I'd give it another shot with LOS16 v10 but it still won't boot with the no-name LCD screen. Too bad. I had hoped with a new kernel, which it obviously has, it would ignore the missing manufacturer ID, but it doesn't. All that downloading and installing in vain. Ah, well.

By the way: How can I check if the bootloader is on QK1? The modem was installed successfully and mentioned in the settings, but where can I verify that the matching bootloader is in place?

Cheers,

Sascha
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kippy51:
Use the app 'Phone Info'.
[Galaxy S 4 General] InTheY2K:
Well, I think it's dead now.

As WiFi could not be enabled (would always turn off a few seconds after enabling it) I could not download the app. Then I remembered the note in the manual about bootloader and modem having to be of the same version, or else WiFi wouldn't work.

So I presumed that the bootloader was not QK1 and I tried to flash it again with Odin. But that failed consistently.

Next, I tried to flash the whole stock firmware again, but that failed, too.

Since then the S4 is in the emergency recovery mode, and neither can I flash anything with Odin, nor is it being recognized by Kies.

I guess it is bricked.

Bye bye S4.

Gesendet von meinem F1 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
I guess softbricked. Can you boot to download mode? If yes try to switch usb port on your pc and flash TWRP. Wipe everything and then flash stock Rom. Then flash Modem and BL. Make sure stock rom and modem and bootloader to be the same. For example if you have QK1 Modem & BL you need QK1 firmware for Wifi to work. On custom Rom doesn't really matter but recommened is QK1.
[Galaxy S 4 General] InTheY2K:
Thank you for your tips on how to recover the firmware. I will try that and get back to you on the results.

That's what I would have thought, too. But as Wi-Fi didn't work anymore after flashing the QK1 modem, it had to be having to do with the bootloader obviously not being the same version. Hence my question the other day on how to check the bootloader version.

I was last on OptLOS 15.1, as that was the last version that was able to boot, because of my replacement LCD display. Obviously, the versions being the same does matter there, too.

Gesendet von meinem F1 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
I softbricked mine before a month ago while trying to flash QK1. I am flashing with the same steps for years, never had a problem before. I managed to fix that with changing usb ports on my pc and don't move cable during flash. After changing usb ports the issue solved. I was able to flash anything. Weird but I don't know.

Let me know how it goes. Btw if you are on slack send me there.

Btw on the latest Pie Optlos v10.1 the issue with LCD screens fixed. You should try it ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] InTheY2K:
I have tried it but ended up in a bootloop just the same. [emoji17]

That's why I took on with the whole hassle of updating modem and BL in the first place.

Gesendet von meinem F1 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
When you unbrick your device and manage to flash QK1 Modem and BL, give one shot again. Also you can send to Side about that, thought it was fixed :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 General] InTheY2K:
OK, I'll try and report.

Gesendet von meinem F1 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
I've updated the guide of flashing Modem and Bootloader. Try these steps.
[Galaxy S 4 General] InTheY2K:
Is there another way to check if the correct version of the BL is installed than using above mentioned app? Like in a file or something?

Gesendet von meinem F1 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
I don't think so, also no code avaible to check the version of your Bootloader.

So the easiest way to check ur Bootloader/Modem and everything else, is to install apps like Device Info HW or Phone Info like Kippy said. Then uninstall them if you want. :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 General] InTheY2K:
So, I tried to flash TWRP and Odin failed to do so, saying "There is no PIT partition".

I browsed through various manuals how to fix this and found an XDA thread with a PIT file for the S4.

But that would also fail to flash.

Then I had a crazy idea!

I moved all the flashable files from my external hard drive (connected via USB 3.0, while the phone is on a USB 2.0 port) to a temp folder on my C: drive. And guess what: The flash process was successful.

I flashed the PIT file and TWRP 3.2.3 in one swoop and the phone rebooted to LOS15.1.

Never would I have believed, if somebody had told me -other than that little voice inside my head-, that the problem would be the files sitting on an external drive.

[MENTION=6753279]Retrial[/MENTION]: This might be a useful bit of information you could add as a hint to your manual. That all files should be stored on the internal hard drive of your computer, rather than on an external drive.

Then I also managed to flash the bootloader, this time using the USB 3.0 port of the external drive. But flashing the BL only succeeded in conjunction with the aforementioned PIT file. Before that flash would fail with the error "file not found" after "Set PIT file". Hence, I added the PIT file to the flash process of the BL and it passed!

After that the phone rebooted into system and immediately connected to Wi-Fi again. Using the app "Phone Info" I verified that I have both, BL and Modem on QK1. Yay! Next stop: LOS16_v10.1
[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
[MENTION=8655956]InTheY2K[/MENTION] Interesting ? Thanks for mentioned that, I will add a note in my guide later. :good:

Glad you fixed it, enjoy the new Optlos :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 General] InTheY2K:
Nope, still in a bootloop. Doesn't get past the initial kernel load. You see the LED changing colors, then it hangs for a few seconds and reboots. Ad infinitum. :(

Interestingly, whenever this happens and I reboot into recovery, TWRP seems to have forgotten all the settings I made to it. I.e. selecting language and turning off those highly annoying vibrations on button taps. Perhaps there's a connection?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
When you install new rom, you have to set the twrp settings again. It is normal.

Try the new custom jdc twrp made by Side.

I hope you wipe everything except your sd card in TWRP before installing Optlos right? If you still have bootloops contact with [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION].

Btw for faster responses etc, join slack. All the team is there :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kippy51:
Says you ..?
[Galaxy S 4 General] side:
I am really sad about your situation. I remember u all those years and I feel sad that u can't fix the device. Come back to slack for faster assistance please and talk to me privately
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kippy51:
I was just messing with Retrial. Just a joke..?
[Galaxy S 4 General] side:
Haha no problem mate. Cheers. I just didn't understand
[Galaxy S 4 General] InTheY2K:
No worries! All good here. I got me a new phone in May and I am quite happy with it. I tried flashing Pie on the S4 just for the fun of it. Other than that, the S4 is just lying around on my desk or in the drawer. I don't really use it anymore.

But I may contact you in slack to talk about the bootloop soon.

Cheers, Sascha

Yes, I did. Though I am usually a dirty flasher I stuck to the manual, wiped everything and even explicitly formatted data afterwards.

I tried the full monty during the first run, with ROM, gapps, and aroma. And after that failed to boot, I did the whole thing over with only the ROM. Same result.

See you in slack, then.

Gesendet von meinem F1 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 General] InTheY2K:
I tried the custom TWRP but that wouldn't boot either. After the Samsung logo I get a black screen for a couple of seconds and then it reboots into system.

After that, things got messy. I couldn't flash TWRP official with Odin anymore and soft-bricked the phone once again. Took me quite a while to get it restored to the previous states. Now I am back on OptLOS 15.1 (once again), back to square 1.

This is a die-hard mofo of an LC display I got here.

Hi,

some problems:

1. The accessibility service doesn't work properly.

My automation app (E-Robot) is always kicked off after some minutes.

It needs the accessibility service urgently!

2. Samsung Driving mode does't switch on (maybe not available in this rom?)

3. HDMI output doesn't work. Neither audio nor video

4. BT doesn't turn on properly, or it doesn't find any devices, or it needs very log time to pair.

5. no call recording (germany is allowed with permission of the caller)

Missing feature requests

6. Hide certain (not all) notifications off an app (it is possible with Xposed GravityBox and very useful for senseless ongoing notifications)

7. A shortcut to kill/force-stopp an app (it is possible with Xposed Edge and very useful for automation with E-Robot, or other tasker apps)

-The 2 issues above make Xposed indispensable for me :(

8. Start App from icon in "App Info Screen"(possible with Xposed modul)

9. Playstore link in "App Info" (possible with Xposed modul)

10. Move battery load-indicator line unter the taskbar. Not on top! "(possible with Xposed modul)

11. add download progress line on top of taskbar. "(possible with Xposed modul)

12. File Browser is missing file size informations

Regards,

[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
Hey,

I guess from our previous conversation, you use AEX. (You need to specify what rom you use in this thread cuz it's include all JDC Roms)

So

4. Bt is working fine for me, but you may w8 for next update and check again. Some BT edits will come on next release.

6. This depends on the app if it's allow to hide certain notifications. It's impossible for any android to do that by default.

7. You can force stop the app by long press the app icon and get to "infos"

8. ? If you are in the app icon just press the app icon to open the app, why u need to get to infos of the app do that :confused:

9. ???????

10. And 11. That's customizations stuff. You need to adjust yourself to use it as it is. However I am sure you can customize the location of battery in AEX but not everywhere. The features you ask are unnecessary , just adjust yourself to new style.

12. Use Mixplorer from Xda (free) or pay to get in from Playstore. It's the same. And it's the best File Manager out there.

The numbers I didn't answered is because I don't know.

You really need to adjust yourself to new android system and move on from the old style kitkat-lollipop. I am sure there are many ways to do what you want without the need of xposed. But if you really need xposed try and use it, it should work on Pie? I don't know...and be sure that you will not get any help if you use xposed since none of the devs support it as I said in our previous conversation.
