Yeah that is known, try version 3 and send logs.

There are more BT fixes in the pipeline that [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] is working on so could get better after v3 also.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] myudkowsky:
I've been waiting for this release; I need BT calling, and I'll try it as soon as possible, as my current version, 8.x, just doesn't work.

I have a newbie question: what makes this an "unofficial" release? I've Googled as hard as I can but I can't find an explanation.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] panjgoori:
Version 3 zip file not available at Download link. Only 2 md5sum files.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] JT1510365:
Calm down and give him a chance to upload the latest build:) We will probably get the link in a couple hours:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
oops... deleted the wrong file when I fixed the md5..... zip file is there for you all now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ExquisiteArcaneAstralMystic:
Official is stock (5.0 lolipop) which is what samsung gave u and then they abandoned u.

This is unofficial cuz it's lineage os and latest version

Aosp is also unofficial
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
Need? LOL.

Unofficial just means that I am not a member of the official AOSP extended team.

Some teams require too much effort on my part or for me to share Side' and my private work, which we just are not prepared to do at this stage. You will notice my Resurrection Remix rom is official as they don't place too many requirements on me as a maintainer.

The benefits to users is also negligible, perhaps at best they may have a server which automatically makes delta updates to stop having to download a full update and flash through twrp, but most people can handle downloading and flashing a 400mb update I think. After all how did the initial version get on their phone LOL
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] cenonmin:
Thank you [MENTION=724814]buff[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] for all your hard work. Installed v3 and testing. I noticed that charging takes a lot longer. I tried installing BuffCore but does not seem to work. I installed kernel auditor but still slow at charging.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] guest4711:
Slower loading is better for battery life ;)

I don't see the effect you are talking about (i9505]. My pretty old charger supplies 880mA as usual. I'll have a look at home again where I may use a newer one (which usually delivers 1500mA).

Edit: And it does. But the notification on lock screen still states it charges slowly. Probably a cosmetic problem ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] guest4711:
Thanks so much, flashed without problems.

One little annoyance: The smartbar buttons editor does not work/open anymore (probably a problem with the dark theme I selected. Will try normal theme and report later).

Edit: Independent of system theme used.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
I get the full 1900mAh on mine.

I know why the text is wrong (it is just a visual thing and has no effect on actual charging).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
Not on AEX for now, but it does work on current Liquid!

what language do you have set?

It may well be a theme issue, or a missing string.

Log would be helpful...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] guest4711:
Thanks for the answer. Language settings is standard (English US), but it does occur with English UK, too.

Attached matlog is started just before pressing "Start Edit Mode" three times and stopped afterwards. Hope it is useful.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] guest4711:

[MENTION=724814]buff[/MENTION] BT still unstable. It works but after some days when I start the Location service on the Sony App and try and share the location with my camera it just says searching for camera sometimes. I then reboot the phone and it starts to work again.

I attached logs (via SysLog) hope I got it right and that it helps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Savatage76:
with stock camera if i delete photos everytime i restart the phone the deleted photos comeback! photos are in sdcard

YouTube 720p doesn't seems work correctly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mynacol:
I had the same problem. Reason was a broken SanDisk microSD card. This card turned into a strange read-only mode where every change to data (deletion, creation, modification of files/the whole filesystem) seemingly worked, but after restarting the device or reinserting the card all changes were lost.

To check if you have this problem it should suffice to take a photo, save it to your microSD card, reboot and look if the photo is still there.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Savatage76:
...stock Samsung ROM has not this problem...I think is a bug .

New photos remains after rebooting the phone.

If I delete photos with the file manager, photos are really deleted.

The problem is only with gallery and camera app in aosp/optimized/liquid ROM
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 3mel:
this problem occurs when your memory card dies on you, it's not rom related.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Savatage76:
Why with stock rom sdcard is OK? And also with this ROM if I delete photos or other files with file manager it's perfect
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 3mel:
OK that's great, I meant the problem that Mynacol described. have you actually flashed back to stock and tested that it works ?

I have had it before where SDcard access didn't work for some apps even with permission granted but not with this rom, I'll test it out and edit this reply.

EDIT: deleted a file from gallery, took two photos one with each camera app I have, deleted them and rebooted.

all images are gone after a reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] cenonmin:
Additional bugs

Some additional weird bugs:

1) For some reason every now and then ROM will ask to reinstall Maps. No real pattern to this just random.

2) Sometimes going into settings will FC and from then on it just keeps FC'ing, only way to fix is to reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] guest4711:
If you hope it will be fixed you should supply logs which show the problem and it's cause. And please supply information about your setup, especially rooting method and version, g-apps version, installed MagiskModules (if any), x-posed, theming etc.

I usually disable all extensions and try again to check where the problem belongs to. If it is not caused by an extension I wipe cache and dalvik and check again...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] cenonmin:
Here is a log where it keeps asking to install Maps. Will provide the one where Settings keep FCing when it happens again.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ultras77:
you removed magisk before flashing v.4 ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] esmail1313:
Hi

What used battery life full time ....?!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] guest4711:
No, I did not. But I wiped system, cache, dalvik and flashed ROM and Magisk. Then rebooted. So all my MagiskModules were active on first boot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] cenonmin:
With Release 4 the GPS is broken for me.

It takes ages to get a lock while in Release 3 it was almost same as stock (ie very quick).

This problem seems similar to the old Oreo custom rom problem.

Can't win it seems since bluetooth was broken in rel 3 and seems working in 4 but then GPS is the reserve :'(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] guest4711:
You are absolutely right. While wifi and gsm based location immediately find a location gps does not get a fix. The conditions are good: Enough sats visible...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] cenonmin:
[MENTION=724814]buff[/MENTION] is it safe to flaah back to release 3?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] guest4711:
I had my phone connected to USB for three hours. After 10 minutes it got a gps fix, but to keep GPS position cpu runs at full speed and my device becomes very hot while battery dropped from 65% to 7% while still connected to usb.

How do you root? Installed the magik zip and app

Two

How can I use my Home key to wake up the device?

Thank you

Now another question

Is there a way to update via app or just a zip

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mynacol:
Updates here are just released as zip files
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 3mel:
if you mean update magisk then you can do both although I trust using the zip more as the script will ensure you don't forget things.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] aelfinn:
Clock position cannot be changed (no such setting in "Settings>Extensions>Statusbar>Clock settings"). Would that be considered to be a bug?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] guest4711:
It's not been there from the beginning of this ROM. It's there in RR afaik.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
No. Non-implemented feature at best.

Moving status bar items in Pie is really tricky due to notch support. I know we don't have a notch but that's the reason the clock got moved leftward.

Some ROMs have tackled it and some have not.

This one hasn't so far.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 3mel:
tried to use the split screen feature just now after someone made me think about it.

if you long press on a header in the recents list that app does ''pop forward'' into the foreground but doesn't stick so to speak.

is the feature not present or is it something that needs activating somewhere ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
Just tried and it worked for me.

I'm using standard pie recents and quickstep.

I bring up recents, long click a header, select 'split screen' and that app pops to top 1/4 of screen, with bottom 3/4 back to recent app chooser so you can select bottom app. Select the bottom app and split re-equalises to mid point.

It's not exactly the same functionality as my 'close to AOSP' essential but good enough.

Suggestion for pre-upgrade backup/restore for apps and data?

Comrades!

I have on obstacle that prevents me from migrating from 8.x to this ROM - backing up and restoring all my apps and their data. E.g., wireless passwords; ebook reader and its library; configuration of my email client; photos in my internal memory; history of my SMS client; etc. (I use TWRP to create a complete image prior to a new install, but that doesn't let me restore just apps and data to the best of my knowledge. I also back up all photos, etc. via SSH to my local server.)

If I let Google have access to everything, they'll do it for me. I'd prefer to do it myself.

I see that F-droid has an app called Oandbackup. I haven't used it before. I'd like to know if anyone uses it for backup/restore of apps and data prior to install of a new ROM and if it works well. For example, for 8.x to 9.x migration, or for 9.x to 9.(x+1) migrations.

I did search through XDA, but what I see isn't very encouraging. For example, this post about Titanium Backup says that I can't restore data, just the apps.

So:

has anyone used Oandbackup successfully for the 8.x to 9.x migration? Did you manage to restore everything?

If you used a different manager, e.g. TItanium Backup, how well did that work?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Titanium Backup is recommended by a lot of people, but I had significant issues with it several years ago, which is why I don't use it.

I use a pre-bloatware version of ES File Explorer (available in my signature) and back up both apps and data that way. About the only issue I encounter is some apps not having their data restored properly. I have to run those apps first, and then restore their data.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] guest4711:
I use MyPhoneExplorer (https://www.fjsoft.at) to backup/restore contacts, calendars, sms, documents and photos to/from a windows machine. Did not test oandbackup yet.

Have you looked in settings? There's a setting somewhere to enable or disable that, I can't remember if it's off by default or not, but that feature saved me!

can't go in deepsleep

Just installed release 6, and after 18h i checked and my phone never went in deepsleep in 15 hours of activity. It stayed at 384 mhz for more than 14 hours, even after using first hbef helper and then Naptime by francisco franco to force doze.

Someone has an idea on how to fix this? The battery was drained by a 30% in 8 hours of "inactivity". The battery is new and original, so that's not the problem.

Unable to Install - Suggestions?

Comrades!

Right now I'm re-installing 8.x from backup -- because after an hour, I still show "Just a sec" on the screen.

Steps:

* wipe system, cache, dalvik, data, and internal storage

* install ROM

* install nano Gapps

* The first time, I also installed Magisk; the second time, I did not.

Results:

* Phone does boot and shows the AEX animation

* Phone shows "START" button

* I am unable to press the start button after this first boot. The "vision" button (what is that?) does flash when I hover over it. I cannot press emergency call either. After 10 minutes of waiting I restart the phone.

* After this restart, I can press the START button

* The phone goes into "Just a sec" mode and stays there for an hour

Once it's been in that state for an hour, I give up on it. I ran through the sequence again, the second time without flashing Magisk, and it still does not work.

Does anyone recognize what the problem might be? I did not remove Magisk before installing the ROM either time, and I did not wipe the external SD card.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 3mel:
LOL, I wasn't scrolling down far enough on the first page to see all the options

[MENTION=8670500]myudkowsky[/MENTION] I think most of us have been dirty flashing updates for a while, I'd definitely try using the magisk uninstaller before your wipes and using the aroma add-on to install a magisk version and manager that works for this this rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] myudkowsky:
Thanks for the advice! I will report back shortly with details.

I have another question: what exactly does Aroma install? As far as I can tell from reading the github repo, Aroma contains additional packages but does not replace, e.g., the Gapps nano installer.

I am about to try an install with the ROM, Aroma, and Gapps nano.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] maxdido:
See the Aroma Thread for more information
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] myudkowsky:
A clean install did not work:

* I un-installed Magisk using the Magisk app

* I wiped system, cache, dalvik, data and internal

* In order, I added ROM, Magisk 18.1, and Gapps nano

Results:

* The restart worked correctly

* I was able to push "start" immediately

* I have been stuck on "Just a sec..." for the past 15 minutes

If you have any other suggestions, I'd appreciate them. (For example, perhaps try without Magisk for the first boot, and then add it.)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] myudkowsky:
Comrades:

Further test: I tried the official Optimized LineageOS 16.0 R7, following their directions precisely, and I have the same problem: I'm stuck on "Just a sec" forever.

I then found several threads related to "just a sec" problems, along with other places via Google. I tried, for ASOP Extended Pie (this ROM), both pico and mini Gapps installations (one to attempt to avoid Google Now/Assistant/whatever, and the other intended to include what might otherwise be missing). Both ended with being stuck on "just a sec."

Next, I tried -- with the Gapps mini install -- wiping data and cache and rebooting. As it reboots, it's taking forever; that indicates a rebuild of data (I expect). If I just wipe cache, I still end up stuck in "Just a sec" mode.

If anyone has suggestions, I'd be welcome to hear them . In the meantime, I will roll back to 8.1

Syslog: I can't find any way to generate or save a syslog. adb logcat does not work since adb does not work during the startup, and if there are log files, I can't find them after I reboot into recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 3mel:
the install should be rom, then GAPPS and then aroma or Magisk. apart from that I'm stumped tbh, can't see anything else out of place unless your phone is the wrong model, but you used 8.1 OK

EDIT: it is important to have a Magisk Manager that matches the version you're trying to use. the phone can be next to unusable if they're mismatched. are you using twrp-3.2.3-0-jfltexx recovery ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] myudkowsky:
According to the first post in this thread:

I can try it in the order you mention -- later today or tomorrow -- but if the initial post has them in the wrong order, that initial set of instructions should be edited! I've got an SGH-M919 and I've successfully used this solution for 7.x and 8.x.

Yes, I'm using twrp-3.2.3-0-jfltexx.img. I installed it as an update to my prior version when still in 8.1, made a backup, and then installed 9.0. I wanted to be able to roll back to 8.1 from the backup without having to worry about TWRP incompatibilities.

I might try just this ROM and nano Gapps, and see if it boots and runs, and then add Aroma for the add-ons and Magisk.

Thank you again for your help!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] myudkowsky:
I just tried this sequence:

Wipe memory -- and I forgot to uninstall Magisk beforehand

Install this ROM

Install nano Gapps

I did not install Magisk

Results:

On boot, I was able to push the START button, but the "just a sec" stayed up for 15 minutes.

I booted into recovery, wiped cache, and rebooted

I was in a "just a sec" for another 15 minutes

I then rolled back to 8.1 and I'm waiting for advice on:

* What might be wrong

* Or at least how to capture logs

---------- Post added at 08:56 ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 ----------

I should also mention that oandbackup does not seem to restore much data, if any.
