I've simply moved some of the apps I really needed on home screen to internal storage. I couldn't find any suitable FOSS launcher that doesn't remove apps' icons (which are installed on external SD card) from home screen during phone reboot.

Hi

I recently flashed my S4 with JDCTeam LOS, now my cant detect my SIM card.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

If you've got problems, you should (always) first check op if there are known problems / information about flashing etc. If you would have done that, you could have seen the reference to SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 UNIFIED GUIDES & COLLECTION 👨‍🏫 from @Retrial - a great collection of flashing (and troubleshooting) guides. I advise to check it out.

Hi all, I have an issue with my device. At first I tried to update to v9.0 from v7.0 by dirty flashing the new rom in optimized TWRP but I got stuck after reboot and the device always booted back into recovery. Then I tried with a clean install, format data and everything but now I can't flash any gapps package. Every time I try to flash gapps I got Error: 1 could not mount /mnt/system!

Can anybody help?

what twrp version do you use?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pocketrule:
As I've written, there's a XDA thread with all the necessary information 😉 It should be very easy to find.

But if I've understood correctly, the (separate) fix is not necessary anymore, as there is an update (which should include the fix already 👍)

Edit: If you choose the alternative download link, there are links to the zip files v1.2 for flashing. This version most likely include the fix. But these links lead to nirvana. Obviously they are placeholder for the upcoming version. So v1.1 is still the latest BitGApps package which has to be fixed by repacking the zip.

Добрый день всем на форуме! Пожалуйста, помогите мне установить ВЕРСИИ ANDROID 11-12 для Samsung Galaxy S 4 I9505. Не могу найти и скачать прошивку (ROM) и есть сомнения, что телефон будет нормально работать: камера, модем, NFC и т.д. Был опыт установки ПЗУ для ТВ приставки HD96, пока работает нормально. Мне нужно следующее: 1. Сама кастомная прошивка (ПЗУ), желательно подобранная под данный аппарат. 2. Восстановление. 3. Драйверы. 4. Программа для установки 4. Пошаговая установка.

Good afternoon everyone on the forum! Please help me install ANDROID VERSIONS 11-12 for Samsung Galaxy S 4 I9505. I can’t find and download the firmware (ROM) and there are doubts that the phone will work normally: camera, modem, NFC, etc. There was an experience of installing a ROM for a HD96 TV box, while it works fine. I need the following: 1. The custom firmware (ROM) itself, preferably selected for this device. 2. Recovery. 3. Drivers. 4. Installation program 4. Step by step installation.

Это тема допиленной официальной 11 версии. Все ссылки есть в первом посте. В ней все работает и она стабильная. Также версия 11 есть на официальном сайте LOS https://download.lineageos.org/jfltexx (она официальная стабильная - работает все).

12 версия на данный момент в разработке - она есть в соседней теме https://xdaforums.com/t/optimized-lineageos19-1-v8-0-4dec.4426575/ (там есть определенные баги). Официальной LOS12 версии на данное устройство не будет. Можно ставить для тестов.

Тут есть тема с одином, булодером и прочим: https://xdaforums.com/t/s4-unified-collection-guides.4224933/

В целом все инструкции выглядят одинаково (если шиться со стока, и нет кастомного рекавери):

1. Через odin прошиваешь twrp

2. Копируешь ром\open gapps(если нужны сервисы гугл\плеймаркет)\магиск(если нужен рут) на sd карту\подключаешь флешку\диск через otg переходник.

3. Перезагружаешься в рекавери.

4. Делаешь бекап через twrp (modem/EFS etc. -обязательно бекапить EFS и сохранять на sd карту (не в телефон))

---

5. Делаешь полный вайп (dalvik/system/data/cache (если не нужны информация на внутренней памяти телефона можно вайпнуть internal))

6. Прошиваешь ROM.

7. Прошиваешь openGapps. (если нужно).

8. Прошиваешь рут (если нужно).

9. Перезагружаешься.

Все. остальные перепрошивки состоят из пунктов 5 - 9.

Для 12 версии инструкция совершенно такая же - меняется только ром файл и версия gapps

Если ты читаешь этот форум через гугл переводчик то может лучше будет посмотреть тему на 4pda?

This is the theme of the finished official version 11. All links are in the first post. Everything works in it and it is stable. Also, version 11 is available on the official LOS website https://download.lineageos.org/jfltexx (it is official stable - everything works). Version 12 is currently under development - it is in the next topic https://xdaforums.com/t/optimized-lineageos19-1-v8-0-4dec.4426575/ (there are certain bugs). There will be no official LOS12 version for this device. Can be set for tests. There is a thread here with one, a buloder and more: https://xdaforums.com/t/s4-unified-collection-guides.4224933/ In general, all instructions look the same (if you sew from the drain, and there is no custom recovery): 1. Through odin you flash twrp 2. Copy rum \ open gapps (if you need google \ playmarket services) \ magisk (if you need root) to sd card \ connect USB flash drive \ disk via otg adapter. 3. Reboot into recovery. 4. You make a backup via twrp (modem / EFS etc. - be sure to backup EFS and save to the sd card (not to the phone)) --- 5. Do a full wipe (dalvik / system / data / cache (if you do not need information on the internal memory of the phone, you can wipe internal)) 6. Flashing the ROM. 7. Flash openGapps. (if needed). 8. Flashing the root (if necessary). 9. Reboot. All. the rest of the flashing consists of points 5 - 9. For version 12, the instructions are exactly the same - only the rom file and the version of gapps change If you read this forum through google translator, then maybe it would be better to look at the topic on w3bsit3-dns.com?

Hi guys, is there a way to root this rom? I installed it this morning and except for an fc at the beginning, everything is correct and works very well. how I have not found anything I have flashed Magisk V.23 but it gets stuck in the Lineage logo, I have uninstalled in zip and it is still the same, it does not start. I will have to flash rom again. Is it possible to root safely? thanks in advance 🤟🤟
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] puerto69:
After many many attempts it has booted:

1-flash ROM + Gapps

2-I remove the battery

3-I enter recovery and select reboot-system (gapp (pico opengaps).

When I reboot or turn off the system no longer boots unless I do the same process.

I installed Optimized Lineage 17.1 V9 and the exact same thing happens to me, is there an alternative kernel or solution to boot the ROM normally? Please, if someone can enlighten me, I would appreciate it, in fact with 17.1 it works very well at the moment including Bluetooth . Thanks partners.

Optlos A11 is also good but move to A12 if you finally choose to go with Optlos. It's in active development while Optlos A11 is EOL.

Oh and if you need GApps go with BiTGApps.

Hi Team,

Can you help me with my problem, please?

I have followed the instructions from this thread and everything is working fine, but for some reason my SGS4 is keeping shuting down or rebooting randomly. This only occurs when I have BiTGApps installed.

Clean installation of the Optimised OS doesnt cause any issues. I have also expierienced the same issues with version 17 and LineageOS 17. Any advice will be much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Yes, you are right. It's Armeabi-v7a in common ARM.

Excuse me but I wrote the thead (which I've already updated it but side need to push the update to thread) and the guides and if you take a look at installation guide (⚡S4 Unified Guides & Collection⚡) which OP includes you will see that I write:

" You should always use Pico or Nano GApps, be sure you have selected Platform: ARM and the proper Android version of the ROM you are going to flash. If the ROM you want to flash include GApps, no need to download and flash any GApps at all. "

About GApps:

Open GApps hasn't publised yet A11 GApps since it's in internal test stage.

NikGApps has ony ARMx64

BiTGApps site is currently under maintenance and I had to dig their official Telegram with help of @pocketrule to find the latest GApps they provided and make a mirror on my AFH.

So the only GApps should work atm is BiTGApps and if that package has problem we should w8 for next release of BiTGApps until Open GApps are available for A11.

About ARM and ARMx64:

Our device architecture is armeabi-v7a in common ARM. I am really curious to see where did you find the info which says S4 is ARMx64. Did you even tried yourself GApps X64 or just spreading misinformation?

The nonsense you are talking about is from your side, not mine.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] manciuszz:
I'm using BiTGApps and I did experience random reboots, simply by unlocking the phone, opening the browser or just scrolling a webpage. However, I thought maybe the CPU Voltages were unstable or something, so I put +10 on the 1890MHz range and undervolted 384MHz range by -100 via BuffCore App (Found in Aroma Installer). I've been using the phone for close to 90 hours now and experienced no reboots or crashes so far. The temperatures are low, phone is snappy and battery lasts a little bit more than 4 hours of intensive internet browsing. I'd say its a win considering its running like 6 - 7 year old battery.

I experienced same, but more often issues on LineageOS 17, hence why I upgraded to LineageOS 18.

So far, I'm very happy with everything other than the lack of immersion mode. Reading books on the browser and staring at the stupid status bar is getting increasingly annoying and there's nothing I can do about it. I could try editing the browser APK file, but I'm sure as hell feel lazy to do that on every APK update...

I'm using BitGApps from this link https://xdaforums.com/t/custom-gapps-bitgapps-for-android.4012165/post-84094855

If the random reboots / crashes are caused by BitGApps and anyone find a proper version for this ROM, pls share!

-- EDIT:

Survived more than 220 hours with BuffCore CPU Voltages set to value of 800 on 384MHz and 1220 on 1890MHz. The phone crashed while watching a 720p video. It just froze and then started showing line stripe artifacts that got brighter overtime. Restarted the phone and now set the value of 700 on 384MHz and increased to 1225 on 1890MHz. We'll see how long the phone will last this time.

@nuss14

when I provide you with two GPS-app, which do work here, it's the slightly hint that you should/could test with those app to maybe find out, that you statement "gps doesn't work" could probably be "your apps don't work with gps (anymore)".

means, probably your apps or the combination of your installed apps are the culprit and not the GPS buildin of the ROM.

so to narrow your problem down:

test with one or both apps I provided and report, cause you probably won't find someone who is willing to do the other way around, e.g. installing your apps on his/her phone.

hint: first fix needs somewhat longer, up to 120 s

I'm sorry to say that moving backwards doesn't help us to get any info's why it doesn't work with V2.

so to iterate:

if you had tested with my apps on V2 and it wouldn't work there we could say or have gotten an indication that GPS in V2 is broken on your device somehow.

now there is no win - apart from your again working GPS on V1, what we btw. already knew before ! - to move LOS forward or to fix a maybe creeped in bug.

to me it seems it's also a "loss": you're now on and need to stay(!) with V1 and don't get the goodies from V2.
