I have a screenshot of GPS Status & Toolbox at first launch. Below, written in Italian, we read that the first fix in 21 seconds. Cloudy weather with light rain at times. With the subsequent versions, at 2, this does not happen and I honestly cannot understand why. I repeat always made super clean installations, always.

I'm considering switching over from version 11 of the Nougat release. Are any of these versions stable enough for daily use? I depend on the bluetooth, gps and long battery life I currently get. Thoughts? Thank you.

Feedback

Today, after nearly one month of usage the issue I have are :

- photo not stored in the appropriate folder when using SD Card

- GPS is -sometimes- really slow to fix (sometimes can take more than 1 minute - antenna etc is ok)

- SMS reception and emission is sometime laggy ... SMS are sent in the wrong order and sometime I receive them 15 minutes later when I wake up phone.

- Randomly screen turn to a blanck flashing state, with purple red blue colors ... return to normal after a while.

- When choosing a music from SD card as ring tone , next reboot the ring tone goes back to standard one and music get renamed with strange name (numbers).

That's said, bluetooth work now properly, this ROM is definitely awesome. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ExquisiteArcaneAstralMystic:
1. Photo problem - I don't have that (yes i have sdcard)

2. Gps true

3. Only true right after reboot (if its like 5 mins after that I don't have this problem despite the fact 190 apps installed dsn filters adaway and other stuff and services)

4. Don't have screen problem

5. Don't do that... even on 4.1.2 android cyanogenmod was the same, I don't want to be rude but is it so hard to copy over from sdcard to internal memory this one song? Me personally I created notifications folder inside internal memory where I store all the custom ringtones - for ringtone sms and alarm cuz for alarm and sms it also fails if you do not store it in internal memory

I have an SCH-I545 (Verizon Galaxy S4) with TWRP 3.0.2 on the MDK bootloader. I tried the pre-LOKI ZIP from mattgyver to update to 3.2.3 and it gave me an unsupported software warning, so I downloaded the TWRP 3.2.3 from TWRP website, loki_patch it, and flashed that version and it just got to "BOOTING RECOVERY" and sits there but never loads. Same happens for 3.2.1. Am I doing something wrong? Would like to give this ROM a try

I wanted to help and say what is working and what not in my experience

"is it so hard to copy to internal memory"

Yeah what don't you understand? It's not the first time this happened like i said it was also the same for cyanogenmod so please tell me copying 1 song for calls one for alarm and one for notifications will take so much space? Or what is the problem here because I don't understand

I spent my time to show what is working and actually he asked me about clean install so he understood it normally why can't you?

Guys, one question; just flashed this rom on my backup S4. Works great, BUT animations and scrolling is not what i would call smooth.

SPOON-FED

A reasonable question, to which I'll provide you a less acerbic response this time around.

1) Please consider #1 of this: CLICK HERE

2) Please take this term and definition into account, too:

spoon-feed

-- provide (someone) with so much help or information that they do not need to think for themselves

This is what you are requesting of another member with a posting of a question without a preceding search performed by you. To spoon-feed you would be a disservice to you. To request to be spoon-fed exhibits a lack of respect for the time and efforts of other members. You will certainly expose yourself to similar responses should you fail to exercise due diligence by adhering to rule #1 in your future posts.

TL;DR ?

To perform a search IS a straightforward answer.

And it is the newbie, to whom you refer, that would benefit the most by gaining understanding of this.

I sincerely hope you understand.

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

May take a few battery cycles.

May take a few power cycles.

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

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ExquisiteArcaneAstralMystic:
Holy cow.. it blows my mind anybody even consider doing such thing so I can't give u an answer because me for example always the same - rom + micro + (if there is aroma) + my apps from the list but I never deactivated or wanted to deactivate essential apps imo. Yeah few years back I was paranoid so I wanted to live without gapps and use qubes but convenience prevails in my case
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
The problem is, opengapps installs copies for system apps, so there are two version of them. You dont have a couple of apps installed TWICE ???
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ExquisiteArcaneAstralMystic:
No it is normal.

But I can think of one situation when it occurs:

Well it never happened for me but people who have stock old system and they install newer google apps by play store so they have 2 calendars 2 different messaging apps and so on if you are talking about such situation then yes I know it was like that.

I can just suggest to do clean install + gapps of ur choice

Like [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] said - stop with these bickerings.

Keep on-topic.

If you don't know something, SEARCH FIRST to see if it's been answered. Junior member or not, I don't care if you're looking for a straight forward answer. Use keywords to search and see what you find. It doesn't take long.

What works for one will NOT always work for another. That's the joy of technology. So, just because it's working for you doesn't mean you can make another user's post with feedback feel lessened by saying things like "it's all working for me."

Thats weird... Today i flashed lineageos16 (so the same as S4) to Lenovo A6000, that i had lying around... To my surprise, UI and scrolling is a lot smoother than on S4 running the same version of android and flavor.

But in turn, A6000 only has 1GB of ram and slower cpu and gpu (andreno 306 and A53).

Somehow i think S4 could be made a lot smoother, as this can't be a HW limitation. Also, on A6000 i didn't have to wait for rom to settle in, it ran smooth from the first boot.

Any ideas whats happening here ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
This rom is buggy. Please don't use it

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] hojnikb:
Is this a GPU driver thing or something else? I'm just curious as to why this happens. I'm very well aware that this is a very old phone way past it's lifecycle.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] hojnikb:
Certainly, this is the rom i'm using on my Lenovo.

https://xdaforums.com/lenovo-a6000/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3906384

Having both phones side by side, transition animations, notification pulldown and general scrolling in google chrome is smoother. As if S4 was running at 20-30fps and A6000 was like 50-60fps (subjective feeling, not actual numbers). Obviously the phone itself is slower (thats reasonable because of the slower cpu, single channel ram and gpu) but animation and scrolling is much smoother.

Perhaps running UI at 1080p compared to 720p on A6000 might have an impact on this ? But this should be offset with faster hardware.

Today's course offering:

FALLACY of the APPLES-to-ORANGES COMPARISON THEOREM

Introduction of the apple and the orange, accompanied by simultaneous delineation and conflation.

Uh, oh. We are already in trouble here.

An ethereal suppositive statement.

Yes, it IS something else. It is YOU.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] hojnikb:
And purpose of this post is what exactly ? Waste of precious database space, CPU time and bandwidth.

I just tried to outline, that UI smoothness is an issue on S4 custom roms. This has been a recurring theme (for me at least) ever since i've upgrade from GPE 5.1. Every rom onwards had similar issue with smoothness. Comparing with A6000 was really just for fun (and really the only other device capable of running 9.0 custom roms i have i hand), but coincidently a much weaker device using the same android version and flavor works a lot better in this regard.

Also, browsing this very thread on S4 is near impossible, as it lags like hell.

Now i'm not expecting developers to just jump on this and fix it. But it would be nice to at least know WHY this is happening.

Sorry, forgot I posted over here as well. Worked with mattgyver over in his thread and did my own Loki patch of the JFLTEXX TWRP and it worked. His only works for the ATT variant right now, but that may be fixed in the future as I was able to pass along the VZW patched TWRP IMG file to him. Must be an issue with the JFLTEVZW TWRP specific build as he mentioned that he had the same issue with the ATT TWRP specific build.

Awesome Job

Installed this ROM and i have to say: Awesome! Thank you guys for this incredible job.

For now, almost everything is working just fine on my old and good S4.

I have just 2 question:

I have my phone properly configured and running, can i flash the Aroma Optimized now? I mean, after the initial instalation.

I had the Lineage14, on Lineage i installed Magisk (Manager and Framework) using android dot gadgethacks dot com slash magisk 101 tutorial (sory cant post the link), i followed the same steps in this Optimized ROM and cant install the Magisk properly.

I am able justo to install the Magisk Manager, and flashed the Magisk from TWRP successfuly but when i reboot and open the Magisk Manager the Manager says me that i dont have the Magisk.

Can someone give me some light on this?

Welcome to XDA and to... here, specifically!

i really forgot how toxic xda forums can be. Luckily, my days with S4 (and any droid device for that matter) are finally behind me. A more fruitful device has been a lot better over the years (only used my old S4 as a backup until my actual daily phone got repaired).

Chucking S4 in the trash, as its really an unusable brick at this point. I never had a smart phone chew 4 batteries and 10 back covers over a usable lifespan.

Thanks for pointing the issue out! I just need some guinea pig with a VZW S4 to try flashing the V2 ZIP to let me know if it flashes the recovery successfully. I used nested ifelse statements in the updater-script, and that always get to be interesting when there's nested code... I will test it on my ATT S4 later tonight when I get home.

MAGISK

1) Will you verify whether you do or do not have persistent root privilege [despite what Magisk Manager is reflecting] by opening BUFFCORE APP?

Or by any APP you choose really, so long as it will demonstrate to you root is accessible.

2) Also, in your APP Drawer, will you look for an APP labeled only "Manager" and if it exists there, go ahead and open it?

Report findings, please.

3) Out of curiosity, what GAPPS package did you use?

1 - Used Root checker and it says that iam not rooted.

2 - No, i have just "Magisk Manager" installed from a downloades apk

3 - I installed the micro.

Anyway, i joined in the slack channel and [MENTION=252687]kippi[/MENTION]51 helped me, what i did was.

1 - Uninstalled magisk manager apk and Magisk using the Aroma installer (from TWRP).

2 - Using TWRP, flashed the Magisk uninstaller downloaded from the Magisk thread here on XDA.

3 - Rebooted.

4 - Downloaded the Magisk version 19.0 from the same magisk thread here on XDA.

5 - Flashed the Magisk 19.0 via TWRP

6 - Installed the Magisk Manager apk version 7.1.1 from the Magisk Website.

And it worked! now i have that double green check in Magisk Manager.
