This rom works flawlessly on my Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919...I have 2 great suggestions....the Ambient Display when Notifications arrive and the Always On Display...I like those two.

Spotted a weird bug with the quick settings panel:

View attachment 5173623

The icons just disappear sometimes. They do come back if you expand it further. I though it was just dark mode thing, but same behavior happens with light mode too. I noticed the bug started to happen once I edited (added more buttons) the quick settings panel.

-- EDIT

I fixed it or more probably caused it via "SystemUI Tuner" by enabling "QS Fancy Animation" setting.

Hey guys!

maybe I'm really blind, but I can't find any ARM Gapps for Android 11...

any suggestion or (better a) link?

thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Retrial:
What you mean? The ROM is already working with GApps.

Open GApps (Pico or Nano)

MindTheGapps

BiTGApps

You can find everything you need in S4 Unified Collection & Guides.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pocketrule:
No need to install a test build anymore, you can install all linked gapps in first post of this thread.

edit: @Retrial just ninjaed me 😎️
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] JohnnyGui:
Ah, it's because it still stays Test Build in the first post under GApps. But apparently the pico and nano versions are stable now?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Retrial:
Yeah, side need to change the OP.

Yes are stable, they also released them on their official site which I linked. You can also use MindTheGApps. BiTGApps should work fine too but I am not sure.

I'm having trouble getting my S4 onto the old interweb. Have set up the APN exactly as my other phone (Note 9 running A10 - where the SIM for the S4 came from!) but still no internet. 4G preferred network - and it's good where I live (UK, on Vodafone). I can get on the internet via wifi and I can make/receive calls. Just no data access ......

Have I missed something simple here?

Oh, just to add, I'm on V5 and on a clean install the phone didn't have a sim card in it. I added that later? Should I clean install again but this time with a sim card in the phone?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] dvhttn:
Oooops. My bad. I cannot believe I hadn't turned on 'Mobile data' ...... doh .......... All working on 4G now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Solway:
great work dude. love your roms

im having a few minor issues. how do i get magisk working? ive installed all but it still wont pass the checks. status says A/B=no, rest is a yes.

also every rom says unsecure with public keys, is there something im not doing right?

also, i cant get the ebay app (says not compatitable with this phone) worked on previous rom. whats up with that

and i know this isnt your issue, but gumtree crashes randomly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Retrial:
Get the latest official twrp and follow the guides and steps to do clean install along with magisk at S4 Unified Collection & Guides.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Solway:
yep done that mate.

i'll redo and see if that works

twrp>format>rom>gapps>magisk
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Retrial:
Let the rom boot and then flash magisk.

Flash magisk.apk not the zip. Also about eBay check if the device is certified on Play Store. If not clear data/cache of Play Store and check again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Solway:
so, ive just done

clean install

wipe all except sd, remove folders from sdcard

flash twrp

flash rom

flash gapps

format internal storage only

start rom

reboot to recovery and flash magisk

install magisk app

magisk still doesnt pass safety and playstore wont allow ebay app install.

im on i9505, wtf
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Retrial:
Google changed things again, that's why u don't pass safetynet. It's for every device with custom ROM. Check Magisk thread. Get eBay from APKMirror in the meantime.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Solway:
whats it mean though? is this whats causing ebay not to install? and my bank apps not running

and how do you fix it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Sebgti42:
Hello

Have you tick Magiskhide in parameter in magisk?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Solway:
ok now i just feel stupid

didnt see the gear icon, was looking in the addon bit.

so installed hide add, then went to gear icon to enable hide addon and select apps to hide stuff from

however this hasnt fixed the ebay app

its still not showing in playstore. so ive installed app manually via apk and it works fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] stuie1952:
A small issue: I have a 9505 and it will charge only when turmed off. I am running the latest version. Amy ideas ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Solway:
There's something not quite right with this v5. I'm in i9505.

But mostly lots of app just randomly crash without warning. Gmap. Gumtree. EBay. Reddit. Its like anything that needs a bit of processing power at times will just crash without a warning or anything
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] dvhttn:
My i9505 is just a spare but I have noticed Google maps crashing whenever I try to pinpoint my location. Just not looked into it much yet.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Aussiewaterdragon:
Looks good but yeah I agree about the crashes. Any process requiring a bit of oomph powers down the phone. Otherwise looks very good.

I am also I9505
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
for any crash please provide logs guys. i cant simply fix something without know the cause.i am not a magician
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] WOCKY48:
I9505 V5 bitgaps R37

I have exactly the same problems particularly google maps crashing.

Sometimes maps run fine other times crashes at any time from opening. Other apps crash as well. This has happened from V4 which was my first installation.

I have tried many things to fix it deleting various caches etc. Other apps like Waze work without problems which leads me to think that the problem is with app or bitgapps.

Otherwise great work on this development. Really pleased overall

Posting logs may be beyond my capability but I will see if I can...Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Solway:
ive got logcat installed how would you like for me to provide logs? do i filter anything?

edit:

heres a quick logcat. filtered on errors only.

lots of thermal errors and gpu errors. plus theres a gumtree crash in there

https://pastebin.com/v207bi0b

why is it, when you are recording logs and you try and get it to crash, it doesnt crash.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pocketrule:
To narrow it down, it could be of help indeed, if you could check out another gapps package. Or (even better): If you've got an app that crashes quite reliably and that is not installed with gapps package try without gapps.

If you're rooted, install SysLog from Scott Warner, grant root and if you see a crash, take a log with the app. Try it out, you'll see, it's very easy
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
something is really bad with your google apps, making your RAM get full...thats why apps crashes all of a sudden...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] dvhttn:
So, try a different gapps? Any recommendations?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
no idea.i never use gapps on my jf
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Solway:
another log with a crash in there

https://pastebin.com/ypMbAmkP

it was a fresh install of the following

Optimized-LineageOS-18.1-V5.0

twrp-3.5.2_9-1-jflte

open_gapps-arm-11.0-nano-20210904

Magisk-v23.0

theres a lot of cpu temp logs poping up, but phone is not hot or anything. i came from 17.1 v7, without any issues there.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HaventHadAnAccountYet:
First of all: Great work with the ROM!

My S7 just died and I remembered that I had a S4 laying around that I could use until I get a new phone.

I've upgraded it from CyanogenMod 13 (pretty ancient, huh) to Optimized LineageOS and was surprised that the S4 can handle Android 11 with all of its animations.

The ROM is perfect for small tasks like WhatsApp (messaging in general), Instagram (but don't do too much at once) and browsing the web, but like @Solway already said Its like anything that needs a bit of processing power at times will just crash without a warning or anything. Most of the time and consistently does YouTube (Vanced) crash, when the resolution gets automatically changed to 720p or you scrub through the video. Opening a video in full screen was possible for the first few times, but now it will crash instantly.

Will provide a log if I have the time. I'm using BiTGApps-arm-11.0.0-R38.

Btw for anyone thinking about jumping on this train as well, I've used this tutorial.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] WOCKY48:
TWRP 3.5.2_9-1

LineageOS-18.1-V5.0

Magisk v23.0

Bitgapps R37

Sandisk 16GB 10 A1 sdcard formatted as internal memory

Rooted

I have tried mindthegaps and opengaps arm 11.0 nano but maps still crash.

With bitgapps I did not install any non configure based addons.

All apps were installed from play store.

Thanks for help pointing me to SYSLOG app to capture logs.

I have attached a maps crash log (I think) for examination.

Thanks again for help
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Solway:
more logs for you

https://zerobin.net/?6a4be9ecf8f9a1ad#P2/TB3Nfp6KbozGAJvvqZ2Hs5jEvXCqa0UMmZtD68uc=

this was a clear of logs history, then load gumtree, navigate around it until it crashes. actually froze itself then recovered itself, then a few seconds after it crash with a popup to wait or force close.

feels power/memory related, like a leak?

ive disabled the magisk addon for systemless host (ad thingy), and will re-test to see if that was causing it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] stuie1952:
Bitgapps works great and much less bloat.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] masss1:
I did not try yet but on official version linage wrote "The only supported GApps package at the moment is MindTheGapps" maybe this is solution...

Reinstalled things but this time used Pico Opengapps dated 15th Sept. and all seems to be fine. Nothing crashed so far and tried a few more things/apps than previously. YMMV however ... !
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Solway:
I tried 17 again, Seemed to work.

So went back to 18, with various gaps packages. Most of which didn't restore my phone again.

So tried Opengapps 15th/Sept. Seemed to be a little better.

But gmaps crash. Gumtree crash, ebay crash. And it's like it crashes after a while, as if there's a mem leak or something.

I'm also running magisk 23

Oh and ebay has to be manually install, don't know why play store is marking phone as can't be installed
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] dvhttn:
OK. So now Maps is back to crashing. I did install a facebook app (Friendly) and Messenger and they both worked fine. Oh, as does Onenote. I use GPS Test and that works fine also (or as well as a 2013 phones GPS will let it ....).

As this is my spare phone I've not got that much time to test things but I'll try to install another mapping/routing app to check that though I suspect it's a Google apps issue ..?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] zyhk:
Try a dirty flash of the official lineageos 18.1. I experienced Youtube music app random crashes, but didn't Apple music and Spotify apps' on optimized lineageos 18.1 with Bitgapps, Opengapps and Nikgapps. Since I changed to Official one by the dirty flash, I haven't experienced such random crashes.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mpoumpounas:
While using this rom to surfing the net, i noticed the cam icon to appear at the notification tray.

This happened for about 1 second.

Does this means that something was using my cam? Rom is unrooted without any extra apps.

Is this a spy rom???!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Retrial:
Hi Mpoumpouna! I think your username matches with your phrase "Is this a spy rom????!" :LOL:

To answer your question, no, this is not a spy ROM. You can also check the code by yourself since it's open source.

Please give more infos when you say "while surfing the net". What apps you have opened and you used, what browser?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mpoumpounas:
Hi Re-trial ! I was using Chrome to browse some news sites! No chatroulette-like sites!

Suddenly the cam icon appeared next to the wifi icon at the top right corner!

The same icon that appeared when the camera is in use!

Nothing else was opened!

I have also installed nano open gaps and no root!

If was spy, hope not to use the front cam; i am shy!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Retrial:
Don't worry mpoumpounako. We watching you right now, you are cute tho 🙃

Check the website settings on chrome. Disable camera. (And btw don't use Chrome - Use Brave or Bromite)

Maybe the site you tried to visit wanted access to your camera.

Is the led turned blue when you saw this camera icon? Optimized LineageOS has a security feature when the camera is open the led turn on with blue colour.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mpoumpounas:
Well, i don't remember about the blue led!

However I will disable camera access to chrome but I can't promise to use another browser!

I will trust your words(You seem honest) that this is not a spy rom and I will check if this happens again!

Till then, please delete from your servers the picture of me! Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Retrial:
The browsers I suggested are based on chromium but with privacy and security in mind compared to chrome, so you will not see big difference on layout. It's up to you tho.

Well, it's not spy rom 101%. Side, the dev of the ROM, is very poppular on this community for so many years and also working together with Official LineageOS devs. You can also join us in the slack for chat.

Probably the site you tried to visited wanted to access your camera for some reason. I am not sure. As I said the ROM has a security feature implemented by side which turn the led on with blue color whenever the camera is on.

Sorry, we can't do that, we keep a backup of all cute faces 😝

Btw you can take a look on my S4 Unified Collection & Guides thread, and check the privacy & security guide.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Grobovoi:

power button is sticking. managed to boot again with a bit of massaging

going to keep this as a backup phone now.

@side

is there a way to modify the rom, to either swap power button to a volume button. or better still, when it gets put on charge it auto boots the phone.

ive googled the autoboot when plugged in, but cant seem to get it working.

Since some years from cyanogen on HTC buzz I have followed, used cm and los roms. For some time I have become disillusioned with android, it seems to have become a data hoover for the planet's most successful marketing machine. The potential is massive, the reality is pants. Disappointing....

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] therob2:
I also hope you will stay, side ;-)

Short question: having quite bad battery life (<< 1day) with new battery and opt-LOS-5.0 I ask my if it would be worth to update the modem file from I9505XXUHPK2 (latest official from 2017) to I9505XXUHQK1 (latest from 2019). Any thoughts that it could be any better afterwards (I know without logs and system details its hard to say ... just a rough guess maybe)?

Strange enough, additionally I have same problem but only with one of four GT-I9515 (especially after enabeling 4G/LTE). Will give also a try in update the modem file.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pocketrule:
That COULD be of help, if the newer modem improves the connection to your provider / wifi access point. I'd give it a try. I9505XXUHPK2 worked great for me a long time, but I've also updated to I9505XXUHQK1. If the first one works for you, the second one will at least work as great.

Regarding your battery issue: Well - of course - first and foremost, battery life will depend on your usage... And often, after a fresh flash, battery life is terrible, because of optimisations and updates (especially if you've flashed gapps, too). Let the device work in the background 1-2 days and battery time should improve (at least when in idle).

If not, you should check out battery apps which could help to narrow down, if the rom is causing the battery drain or an app. I've written something more about it here.

Can I use bank apps with magisk in this version?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pocketrule:
That depends on the specific app. You should do an internet search for the combination of android version + magisk + your app. For sure, you'll find discussions about the banking app not working and (hopefully) someone who got it running by doing very special things. I got my app working by using magisk hide and installing an additional app: Airfrozen.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] hunkdorlian:
Got it, I'll have to test builds from 6 to 10
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] hunkdorlian:
Excuse me for the question but what did you do with the airfrozen app since its job is freezing applications.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pocketrule:
correct. with airfrozen you can freeze Magisk (temporarily) so that it cannot be detected by certain apps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] hunkdorlian:
That's brilliant

Edit: Not even that could make my bank app work, time to switch into another android mode.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] x2k13:
Latest Magisk dropped Magisk hide completely. Since the developer is now a Google employee, looks like there won't be an easy method to circumvent root detection anytime soon.

Is anyone else having a problem installing version 6? It just boots back into recovery after the first boot. I'm pretty sure I installed it properly, because I installed version 5 no problem, but trying to install version 6 would go back to recovery, and now installing version 5 would go back to recovery too, for whatever reason. Probably something wrong with how I'm installing it, but I checked the instructions countless times and still not working.
