How Long in "Just a Sec" Should I Expect?

I would like to know how long is normal after flashing this ROM and booting up for the first time. I've used Gapps nano and micro, etc. on various attempts.

I suspect 15 minutes is too long. I've waited up to an hour before giving up.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 3mel:
between 5 to 10 minutes max
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] myudkowsky:
Thanks for the information.

I'm wondering: what's being updated? If my external memory - sdcard - has a lot of data on it, such as my complete backup of 8.1, will that slow down the "just a sec" response? I've noticed that at startup 8.1 is slow when I have a lot of data on the sdcard because 8.1 "prepares" the sdcard as it starts up.

Since the last 'dirty flash' update (06), my screen turns totally black when I receive a call.

As soon as I push on the green button to answer the call, my screen goes black and becomes irresponsive. I can barely hear my correspondent, even if I push the volume up button multiple times.

Pushing on the home button below in the middle 'revives' the screen for a split second, but it immediately turns black and irresponsive again.

As soon as the caller hooks up, my screen and sound go back to normal.

PS: how do I logcat with a black screen?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 3mel:
there's a proximity sensor I think near the earpiece that detects when your head is against the phone (so your ear doesn't activate any touch responses). sometimes it can get dust trapped in there so that it reads as always near your face. try searching for proximity sensor threads or you could test another rom if you're not convinced.

[MENTION=1711160]Buff99[/MENTION] the JDCT Aroma installer version 2.0 is telling me it's only for JDCT roms before exiting. the same file worked fine on the previous version of extended.

EDIT: just checked, getting the same response from version 1.0 and a freshly downloaded version 2.0

if there's a manifest add-on or couple of lines of script to paste in somewhere it'd be appreciated rather than a full build.

ADDITIONAL EDIT: on the positive side I haven't noticed a single drop in Wi-Fi yet, this will be the first time in a very long time if it stays that way.

will try fishing files out of the aroma zip tomorrow.

Has anyone tried release 7 with SGH-M919 yet? (I need reliable service for the next few days, so I won't be able to try it myself until next week.)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Retrial:
If you ask if the Rom is working with ur device model then yes. You can check all the supported device models in OP.

If you ask if the Rom working smooth and stable then yes and it should work fine with your device model too.

Thanks for the update. It hasn't managed to get past "just a sec" in Release 06; over the weekend I'll try again and post the results.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 3mel:
[MENTION=8755561]getewukiju[/MENTION] yes of course you can go back. you might even be able to dirty flash the previous version.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] cenonmin:
I want to go back to release 6 as well but am worried. Last time i did this was from 6 back to 5 and that was a problem too. Just make a backup before doing it.

Worst case have to reinstall fresh and then restore apps from TIBU.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] getewukiju:
[MENTION=4809451]3mel[/MENTION] i couldn't go back sadly by using dirty flash i'm on R 07 once again.

[MENTION=2787384]cenonmin[/MENTION] yeah, you're right, all i got is a black screen.

I think i must wait for next Release when it comes out, thanks guys.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
Guys, if you are unhappy with battery / wifi / bluetooth may I suggest you use an older kernel as the problems are undoubtedly kernel based.

...Just take the boot.img from inside the zip of the version you desire and flash as img in twrp.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] cenonmin:
Thanks Buff, did not know that, will try :) but my issue is really the GPS but will do this anyway. Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Knele_de:
First of all thanks for the ROM, works great so far (i9505).

However, I have 2 Problems one strange problem:

Amazon Shopping App cannot be installed (is not supported on this device in Google Play).

Strangely I only found one other user (in LOS16 thread) with the same problem but noone responded to that - is nobody using Amazon/is this limited to the german play store?

The Alexa App is unable to change my Echo Dots WiFi. I enter Setup Mode (orange light), connect to the Amazon-XYZ SSID, tell Android to stay connected and the Echo Dot tells me I'm connected and should continue Setup - but when I switch back to the Alexa App it's stuck on the screen where it tells to connect to the Amazon-XYZ SSID.

The Problem with Alexa was solved by using a notebook, but I wonder why I'm unable to get the Amazon Shopping App - did I miss something?

Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] getewukiju:
I've tried this and it doesn't work for me :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] myudkowsky:
Does not work with SGH-M919 because of bootloader/radio

This ROM did not work on my SGH-M919, and now I think I might know why.

I read the installation instructions line by line, and noticed:

However, while the i9505 devices might have a Lollipop (5.x) version of the bootloader and modems, the SGH-M919 does not. The latest version, M919UVSFQA1, is for Kitkat (4..4.4), was issued in 2017, and I believe we can all agree that there's no future version coming.

BTW, what happens is that when I reboot after installing this ROM, I get the graphics, etc., but never get past the "just a sec..." screen, even if I leave it alone for an hour.

Maybe I'm wrong, and I'd love to be wrong, but as I read the ROM's requirements and the phone's available bootloader/radio, the SGH-M919 can't operate on this ROM. I'm looking around but I suspect I can't upload a different bootloader, etc. from a different model.

Thanks to Buff99 for his excellent work on this and other projects. Please note that the official Lineage OS Pie Release 8, also does not work for me. I suspect the same problem.

P.S. I discovered that, for unknown reasons, my device had ext4 in all partitions except /cache. I fixed that -- no effect -- but it's something to check after you wipe your phone and before you flash the new ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
I don't believe it's the specific firmware version; for the other devices with updates it was more about getting less buggy more compatable versions, but not because they would not boot at all.

When you say it stops at the 'just a sec' doesn't really help as this can be generated a few times during gapps setup.

I need you to write a specific list of what gets installed when and result on screen (e.g. you've clicked start button on initial gapps language select screen, etc). Then i can better follow where the breakage occurs.

Are you installing magisk? Have you tried super su? What about rootless?

What happens when you install without gapps?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] myudkowsky:
Thank you for this reply - just received. I will work on this tonight my time.

I am using Magisk

I used the mini gapps

No app was installed as far as I can tell -- the 'just a sec' ran forever, while the screen would go blank from time to time.

Next steps:

Install the ROM without any root solution and without gapps

If that works, try Magisk

If that works, try pico gapps

I'll report back with as much detail as I can.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
Great. There is one of the variants that magisk plain just does not work, but can't remember which.

I would also recommend you use the smaller nano gapps while testing.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] myudkowsky:
Test, part 1: Remove root solution, wipe memory, and install ROM

Uninstall Magisk using the app

Wipe data, cache, davlik, internal storage, etc. but not external memory

Install this ROM

Boot

Result, part 1:

Startup animation, "#stayextended"

Black screen with menu/return buttons lit

Test 2: force reboot from blank screen

Result 2:

Startup animation, "#stayextended"

Black screen with menu/return buttons lit

Test 3: boot to recovery, and then add nano gapps.

Results 3:

During gapps install, about 6 items were installed, no errors

Startup animation, "#stayextended"

The "START" screen appears

"Just a sec..." appears. The menu and return keys are both lit at all times.

After about 1 minute, a black screen with menu/return buttons lit

"Just a sec..." re-appears after some time. The black/"just a sec" cycle appears to go on for some time.

Although it's hard to be certain, if I push the home key, the "Just a sec..." re-appears after a few moments

After 30 minutes, I gave up and restored the phone to 8.1.

I am reluctant to try and remove root -- it's not something I've tried before.

Attached, please find logs.

SGH-M919 Install Works -- Solution

Comrades!

After thinking about this problem some more, I decided to try another installation idea: maybe there was something wrong with my external memory card that prevented the initial boot from proceeding. After all, in a regular 8.x boot, checking the memory took a long time.

I therefore did the initial clean install for Release 9 as described above and then powered off instead of rebooting. I removed the SD card, booted, and everything worked fine. I also ended up repairing the SD card using my Mac -- I'm not entirely certain what was wrong, but mkfs.ext4 showed errors.

I was able to dirty flash release 10 without removing the SD card.

I have theory that, in part, my SD card had held oanbackup and the original boot scoured the SD card for errors, thus taking forever; or there was an error in the SD card that locked up the original boot. Oh, and oandbackup doesn't work for me -- user error? -- and removing those backups made all post-boot backups much faster.

So - thanks! Release 10 works great, as did Release 9. There's a problem with both of them that I must have solved, but that's the subject of a different post.

Thanks [MENTION=1711160]Buff99[/MENTION] for all your hard work on these releases!

Comrades!

I am running Release 10 on my SGH-M919, as per my post just above.

In both R9 and R10, I have a problem: from time to time the phone will boot, pick up my carrier (T-Mobile) -- but then lose the carrier. Instead of the carrier name in the upper left, I get "No Network" (IIRC the words correctly), and I have no signal.

When I attempt to reboot, I select "reboot" and the phone starts to power down -- and AFAICT does not power down all the way. The phone shows the reboot logo, but does not reboot. I have to hold the power key down for 10-30s in order to get the phone to power down and then restart.

Any ideas about this? Known problem that I missed in the thread? Which logs would help?

Been using r9 for three weeks now. Working well. With just 2 times when there was a random pink flash at the screen and after it turned black for a few seconds... Had to press on/off button to really turn of the screen so after i could turn it back on.

Also the camera does not allow night mode.

In the end, is a perfect daily driver, cant wait to see what performance improvements devs are gonna bring <3

Great ROM, actually found it to be smoother and faster than OptLOS v10. One weird issue crept up on both ROMs for me, though: A short while after installing, when everything seemed to have settled in rather nicely after a day or so, massive battery drain set in, on the order of 10-12 % per hour. The device hardly goes into deep sleep anymore (only about 5 % of the time), BetterBatteryStats says that mmc2_detect is the number-one wakelock (about 30 %), also msm_hsic_host (about 20 %).

Any ideas how to fix (or further troubleshoot) this issue?
