BT drop/reconnect/drop and very, very hot!

[MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION], [MENTION=1711160]Buff99[/MENTION] I have reproduced the BT dropping problem and can repeat it. (I like problems like that!)

Phone: SGH-I337M LineageOS 16.0 v5

lineage_jflte-userdebug 9

PQ2A.190205.001 eng.side

20190208.201251 test-keys

While BT is active on a hands-free set, and I am texting or receive a text using the phone messaging app, BT drops. It then reconnects a few seconds later, and it may (or may not) disconnect shortly thereafter and not try again (the hands-free unit then powers down). I get a notice that BT keeps dropping. The phone at the top by my ear gets VERY hot!! I power-cycled the phone and was able to repeat this same set of circumstances.

I took log dumps using the app each time and include them as attachments to this post.

Hope this helps! If you need anything else please ask.

* * * Thread Cleaned * * *

This is a classic example of why 'off-topic' remains a violation of Forum Rules.

Even if the off-topic is meant to be a compliment, imagine having to go through 30 pages of "I love this Dev!" or "This is the greatest Rom EVER!" If you REALLY want to show appreciation; donate, rate the thread 5 *s, hit THANKS, or PM the dev and shower them with warm fuzzies where it won't clog up the thread! Trust me; 1,000 THANKS is much better than 1,000 "Best dev ever" comments and 10 THANKS.

Back to the cleaning....

One member makes a poor attempt/delivery of a compliment to the dev, and all the thread regulars pounce. 1 off-topic comment generated 13 off-topic comments to clutter the thread further and to be deleted.

In the future, simply REPORT anyone viewed as disrespecting the dev, anyone in the thread, or violation ANY of the rules.

This is a development thread, let's keep the comments directly related to development, nothing else.

I appreciate everyone going to bat for the dev.... Dev's work for free (don't think the $2.00 a few members send them is paying any bills for these guys), but next time, just report the trouble, don't engage it.

Thanks for everyone's cooperation.

I've managed to install everything I wanted to that you and your team kindly put into Aroma, with the exception of Buffcore - Will take a look on that in the morning.

Everything works - even though I have been having some crashes using Tidal after having installed Viper4Android with other modifications through Magisk Manager. I am sure that is due to user error though.

SalimPS solved the Aroma installer problem though I guess.

V5 you say? I just did a massive facetap when I looked at the download link after reading your post: I was using V1 and V2:go.

Silly as I am I assumed the top link was the newest - I also didn't realize Aroma wouldn't function with anything older.

I'm sticking with V2:GO though. Like it very much. Will see if I can find a way to install Buffcore.

Thanks!

My bad! Carry on lovely people! <3

Encryption

Sorry for the lengthy post in advance. If you don't care about encryption, skip the rest. I write this down as I just did it; for those that fail when encrypting their device. Maybe it's useful for some of you.

Based on what hcdaniel wrote here Post #221 and some additional research I encrypted my phone on V2. Some of the commands hcdaniel states did not work for me, or I was too stupid, but in the end I found a solution. For some reason I cannot recall I went back to LOS 14.1 and only recently did a fresh install of V5. Encryption failed again, this is what I did now successfully.

Disclaimer: I am very far from being an expert on Android or Linux, I basically searched and tested. I cannot answer questions if this does not work out for you. Please forgive me if I am using wrong terminology.

I started with a new installation, SD card formatted in ext4 and after startup formatted as internal storage. I tried to encrypt the phone from the security&privacy settings. I saw the green android for a second, the device restarts but does not encrypt.

Using adb logcat I found the following lines which identify the device that's causing encryption to fail.

[jan@jabko ~]$ adb logcat
...
03-06 20:14:22.352 289 12800 E Cryptfs : Bad magic for real block device /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata
03-06 20:14:22.352 289 12800 E Cryptfs : Orig filesystem overlaps crypto footer region. Cannot encrypt in place
...

This links to a specific block that can be found with the following command.

adb shell ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2019-03-06 20:22 /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p29

From recovery, in an ADB root shell, the block mmcblk0p29 is unmounted and checked.

[jan@jabko ~]$ adb shell
~ # umount /dev/block/mmcblk0p29
~ # e2fsck -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p29
e2fsck 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
/dev/block/mmcblk0p29: 7882/608400 files (4.1% non-contiguous), 542052/2432000 blocks

hcdaniel had sources stating the block mmcblk0p29 needs to be shrunk by 16kBytes. The above figure 2,432,000 is 4k blocks. So it should be enough to take off 4 blocks, for reasons I cannot recall I took 96 4k blocks.

~ # resize2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p29 2431904
resize2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
Resizing the filesystem on /dev/block/mmcblk0p29 to 2431904 (4k) blocks.
The filesystem on /dev/block/mmcblk0p29 is now 2431904 blocks long.

Restarted to system, selected encrypt again from the menu and it worked. I guess there are many better ways to do it, but this is how I did it and succeeded.

Unfortunately it's no longer available on play store but i archived apk for you by super backup app (for me best backup app i use it all the time right now 8k+ sms 2.8k calls etc and it is fast )

I had the same thing the first time I installed LOS16. The phone didn't charge when plugged in. Not even the LED lid up. A simple Reboot fixed that. Did you try that?

Other than that it might be a faulty charger or cable.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] JanJabko:
Are there any news on "no SIM card"? It started today out of a sudden. No popup message or anything, just "No SIM card" under the mobile data quick settings tile. Restart doesn't help, other battery neither. Uninstalling Magisk Manager and restarting did not change it as well. I put some gentle pressure on the SIM card tray and tried a different SIM as well as the original one in a different phone. SIM is ok, but not in my 9500.

From what I found in this thread these are basically all options I have, so I assume my SIM card tray or some connections are dead. Or could it be a ROM issue surviving several restarts?

Edit: Just installed LOS 14.1 and the SIM error is still there. To me it seems this is the end, if noone has a striking idea.

I did a dirty flash from version 5 to 6 and I also flashed gapps.

What I noticed was that one app disappeard.... mixplorer.

When I had rom version 5, I installed mixplorer with the aroma version 1.

Do you have to flash aroma everytime you flash a new version of the rom?

All other apps installed from the play store are present.

The thing u just described is not possible. There is no chance to have mixplorer deleted on its self
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] InTheY2K:
Might be a stupid question but is there any relationship between the ROM and the LC display/digitizer in use?

I'm asking because I had to replace my LC screen after it got damaged, and with this new one (off of ebay) the phone is caught in a bootloop (i.e. when it comes to loading the ROM it restarts to the Samsung GALAXY logo screen). When I plug in the old broken screen to the connector on the main board, with everything else attached to the new screen, the phone boots up normally. What could I do? :(

EDIT 1: It does boot into TWRP, though, and the display/touch screen is fully functional there.

EDIT 2: I tried wiping system, dalvik, data, and cache and reinstall LOS, gapps and Magisk, because I hoped something would be referring to some screen component during installation. But it didn't help. I don't get far past the initial boot screen. The LED flashes in blue and green and then stops, like the phone freezes during ROM loadup. Then it reboots. Strange, isn't it?

Is there something in TWRP that I can do to look for the cause? On a shell maybe? Does the ROM need any other "screen driver" or anything to work?

EDIT 3: Wiping EVERYTHING, i.e. system, dalvik, data, internal data, and cache and installing V6, latest gapps, Magisk 18.1 and Aroma didn't change anything. I can't boot into the ROM: https://youtu.be/k6QOzrDM-o8
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xtil:
Thanks bersem. Reflashing gapps solved my playstore issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] maxdido:
Sorry Side, it is possible.

Before I flashed v6 I made a full backup in TWRP. I just restored v5. I then rebooted into v5. All my apps where back... off course... including buffcore and mixplorer (both installed with aroma v1). I then restarted into TWRP and dirty flashed v6 and gapps, nothing else. Restarted to system and again mixplorer and buffcore apps are gone... deleted??
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] SalimPS:
yes they are deleted. when you dirty flash a rom you basically wipe the system partition.

mixplorer and buffcore are installed in system partition as system apps thats why they are deleted but playstore apps are not deleted because they are in the data partition.

So yes whenever you dirty flash u have to re install gapps and aroma stuff..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] maxdido:
Thanks for your explanation.

But then I loose also the settings of mixplorer. Is it possible to make an option to install in data partition?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Sytec:
First of all: BIG THANKS to you guys for spending so much time on keeping the old S4 still attractive 5 years after launch! :)

I understand your decision on keeping the source code closed - if it doesn't conflict with any existing license, it's your good right. Still, I'd like to ask you a few things not covered in the FAQ:

Google publishes security fixes every month. As long as CM 14.1 is maintained, I have a certain confidence I will receive these updates. What about OptLosPie? How long will there be updates?

I really wish you wouldn't answer sth like "as long as I feel like" but at least name an approximate plan or time frame, e.g. until the release of Android Q in August 2019.

Is there any chance you add an upgrade procedure to OptLosPie? With OptLos 15 with almost each or every second version users were told to wipe before install. Will it presumably be the same with all releases of OptLosPie 16?

Is there any peer review of the code you are committing to your private repos or are Slack testers the only quality assurance you need to release a version?

If you look at Lineage Gerrit you see that the additions of many talented devs are still improved before they are finally merged. As your contributions are not of less impact, wouldn't they also benefit from a similar feedback round?

Sorry, if these questions do not contribute to the usual hype and excitement about a new version but since I'm still using the S4 as a daily driver they seem important to me.

I know that as long as you don't violate any license you have all the liberty to do what you want in an your project. Still, I'm somewhat disappointed that by keeping the device-specific things private, any future development on S4 will die as soon as you lose interest. Honestly, I wonder if this kindergarden play is the really worth the effort just to hold off damn ripee from publishing releases with your stolen code. I.e. your helping hands "Grandmaster" arco68 still cares for the S4 Mini and contributes all his code to Lineage. Other devs respect his expertise and high code quality. Users on the other hand are thankful that the device is still actively curated in a way that seems also adaptable for future Android versions.
